deaths including two men of the 7th Fusileers.
After the medical inspection of the troops had, been
made by the stuff from Fort Pitt Hospital, 12 of the
invalids were ordered into hospital for treatment,
and four men buffering from inaaaity, produced =by
C 02613 de solie,l and exposure in Indiri, were removed
to the lunatic asylum: The troops were quartered
at St. Mary's BorraCks to await the order for their
discharge from the service, or to join the depot com-
panies of their respective regiments in this country.
Gen. Mizell (commanding the South-Eastern
District), accompanied by Col. Welty', Royal Ar-
tillery, Col. Lennox, Royal Engineers, and Capts.
Bolton and Colville, inspected the towers in the
Eastbourne District last week. Some time was
spent in examining the large circular redoubt,
which has lately been altered in accordance with
the suggestions of the select committee. The guns,
which were formerly mounted en barbette, are now
protected with embrasures of solid masonry faced
with granite. The armament (consisting of three
lib-pounder Armstrongs on the sea face, flanked
with two 08's and 8-inch guns on the land front) is
being mounted. When complete this will be a
most formidable work, and with the cross fire from
Langley and St. Anthony Hill will make a landing
on the beach a very difficult matter.
The following officers will accompany the detach-
ments about to proceed from Colchester Camp to
join the service companies of their regiments in
India :—Ensigns Saunders and Isaacson, Ist batta-
lion Ist Royals; Capt. Bayley, 54th; Capt. Clut-

THE CAPE MAIL.

-- -
PLYMOUTH, MAY 30.
The Union Company's Cape Royal Mail steamer
Norman, Captain W. Ladds, arrived here to-day,
from Table Bay, April 21; St. Helena, May 1; and
Ascension, May 5. She had been delayed by head
winds. After landing her mails here and a part of
her passengers, she proceeded this afternoon for
Southampton. She brings the following passen-
gers :—Mr. and Mrs. Van der Byl, three children,
and female servant ; Mr, and Mrs. Joad and ser-
vant; Dr. Levi, Mr. Maynard (a large Cape rail-
way shareholder, deputed to purchase railway
plant), Mrs. Farmer, Mr. Cox, Dr. Drossell, Mr.
and Mrs. J. C. Hofmeyer, Mr. Vincent, Mr. Bas-
set Smith, Miss de Smith, Mr. C. Van Reeten, Dr.
Strong, Mr. L. P. Cauvin, Mr. J. E. Sale, Mr.
Msrsberg, Mr. and Mrs. Steele and two children,
Mr. Saunders, two children, and servant ; Lieut.
White, 85th Regiment ; Messrs. Eaton, Bennett, J.
M. Brown, J. Duckitt, A. B. de Villiers, J. Proud-
foot, and J. Watermeyer, jun.
Her cargo consists of 1,154 bags copper ore, 72
packages ivory, 200 bales hides, 320 bales wool, 34
bags argot, 12 cases feathers, 1 hhd. 2 cases of wine,
4 bales skins, and several cases of sundries.
At the Cape there was but little political news of
importance. His Excellency the Governor had re-
turned from visiting some parts of the western pro-
vince to Cape Town, to prepare for the opening of
Parliament, which event was to take place on the
24th of April. It was thought likely that his ex-
cellency would visit the eastern province as soon as
the labours of Parliament for the present year are
brought to a close. It was generally understood
that he intended to invite several important altera-
tions in the manner in which the Government is
carried on, and the Governor's inaugural speech
was looked forward to with great curiosity and
interest. The Hon. Mr. De Roubaix intended intro•
ducing a bill for restraining free trade in money,and
limiting the legal rate of interest to 6 per cent. The
general feelin g,h owever,w as against the introduction
of any usury law. Among the chief questions that
would be brought forward would be proposed rail-
ways and irrigation. Separation was to be again
brought forward, but there was much indecision and
division prevailing among even the stanchest Sepa-
rationists. At a meeting at Cradock they, how-
ever, threatened that if neither separation nor a
removal of the seat of Government could be brought
about, they would try to force on an early dissolu-
tion of of Parliament, in order to get the question
settled by an "appeal to the country." There was
a rumour that the Governor hoped to settle this
dispute by holding the Parliament alternately at
Graham's Town and Cape Town. The eommissio.n

commence active operations, and Mr. Marcus Smith,
C.E., the company's engineer, was busily engaged
in staking out the ground.
The Table Bay patent slip was rapidly approach-
ing completion, and promised to be of great service
to the shipping frequenting the harbour.
In British Kaffraria a dispute almost personal in
its nature was left pending between Col. Maclean,
the Lieutenant-Governor, and the town council of
King William's Town, the colonial eapital of that
province. The municipality enacted a by-law that
the waters of the Buffalo River (from which the
town is supplied with water) should not be polluted
by bathing, washing, or otherwise for two miles
above and half a mile below. The garrison of the
town had been in the habit of carrying on those
forbidden operations within the two miles, and the
municipality sought to remedy this
lieutenant;
isance, as
they had to drink the water. The
Governor, however, requested them not to interfere
with the pleasures of the military officers, and
hinted that the troops might possibly be removed
to East London or elsewhere, to the injury of King
William's Town, if his request was not complied

named Mary Kyle, the daughter of a ' •
neighbouring
farnior, residing one mile distant,
and by entf,eaty
and promises succeeded in obtaining her consent to
accompany him on his truant.errand. Mary is
cousin to Gridley's wife. The plans were. laid, and.
Monday night laEt was selected for the accomplish-
ment of their elopempnt. Late on that night
Gridley, with his carpetbag filled with clothing,
left-his roof, beneath which he bad always passed
happy and agreeable hours, his rife and children
little suspecting the part the hnabtuid and father was
about to enact on the world's stage.
Gridley cautiously stole away from his
d2amber,
and hurriedly quitting his domicile, fled to the resi-
dence of his young victina to seduction and shame.
Mary was ready, and soon both werehed in half an

where they passed the remader of the night, co-

happened, and went in pursuit of the runaways-
Grid:ey had intended to board a steamer on Tues-
day evening for this city, but learning, immediately
after dinner, that the officers and his friends were in
pursuit of him even to the town of Florence, he
quietly secured two horses, and, with a loaded double-
barreled gun by his side, fled with Mary overland to
the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, twenty- one miles
distant from Florence. They got on the train that
evening and arrived here on Tuesday night at half-
past 10. They went to the Indiana House, Gridley
registering as man and wife. On Thursday, at
noon, Gridley went down on the mail-boat after his
baggage, which he secured, and returned ouin the
Prioress without being discovered, reaching Ccin

nati early Saturday morning.
On the trip up of the steamer, an accquaintance
of Gridley and the girl Mary happened to be on
board, and knowing of the elopement which had
caused the most intense excitement at Warsaw ond
vicinity, for all the parties were well known, this
gentleman determined to inform the police. He
sought officer Schuyler, and gave him the informa-
tion. That officer at once instituted search, but
failed to learn of Gridley's whereabouts, until 12
o'clock, when he found that he had registered his
name and wife, and taken state-room "No. 20," en
the steamer Prioress, for Belleview, Ky., a small
place a few miles down the river. Schuyler secured
the services of officer Chumley and returned to the
boat. Gridley was sitting on the guard of the boat
when the officers stepped on board and informed d
hreiai
that he was a prisoner. Gridley smiled an-
marked, " That's a good joke.'"Ehe officers then
inquired, " Where is Mary, the girl ?
" Gridley
replied, "In room No. 20." The cfficers then went
back, and opening the door, found her sittlng on
the side of the bed, crying bitterly, as she after-
wards alleged, at the disgrace she had brougilt,
upon herself.
Nlary at once confessed to the officer that
they were going to Belleview, and the:' pro-
cure a conveyance to take them through the
rebel lines into Dixie, and that Gridley wanted V.'
go South and gad coaxed her to go with him, and
he would marry her after they had gone beyond
Federal jurisdiction. When the fact that she was
under arrest and that she, with Gridloy, would
have to return to Warsaw, the distressed girl wept
aloud and bitterly, and begged the officer for God's
sake to shoot her. The arrest and the sobs of the
poor girl created the greatest excitement among the
passengers of the steamer. Upon being assured
that she would be protected and not taken to jail,
she became quiet, and accompanied the officer to the
Gibson House. Officer Chumley conveyed Gridley
to the Hammond-street station-house and locked
him up. Gridley offered no apology for his con-
duct, and was emphatic in his declarations that no
finer woman than his wife ever walked the earth ;
that he desired a change of country, and took this
method to secure it. Mary was willing, to leave
Gridley, but, on account of the disgrace, did not
want to return home.
The officers then telegraphed to Mary's father to
come up and bring an officer with the warrant for

finest farms in Gallatin County. He acknow-
ledged to cohabitation with Mary, and treated the
matter lightly. Their clothing was found to
be mixed together in each other's carpet bags,
and was separated soon after they were taken
into custody. Yesterday morningthe relatives
of each arrived on the Forest Queen. The
meeting of the mother •

with sister was deeply t •
touching and affecting. For
some time neither

spoke a word; finally Mary
broke the spell by egging her mother's forgive-
ness, and asking her to be received back into her
confidence and affection. At noon the entire party
went down on the Madison packet, the girl re-
turning to her home and Gridley under arrest.
Gridley and his friends predicted a compromise' a
conclusion we imagine he
had arrived at rather
prematurely. Mary is decidedly handsome and
winning, and Gridley is one of the ugliest men
We ever saw. How she ever consented to elope
with him, and under the circumstances, is wholly
irreconcilable. However, " there is no accounting
