CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Her Majesty's steam-sloop Inflexible, Commander
Hoseason, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday morn-
ing from the East Indies and the Cape of Good Hope,
bringing most important news from the latter colony
to the 2d of August, being twenty-three days later
than that communicated in our paper of Saturday.
By the highly interesting details which we subjoin, it
will be seen that the colonists have assumed an atti-
tude of determined resistance to the step of making
the Cape a penal settlement, and so serious was the
excitement on the subject, that his Excellency Sir
Harry Smith had made arrangements, on the
arrival of the Neptune, for the convicts to be turned
over to the Seringapatam hulk at Simon's Bay, and
there to be kept until further instructions regarding
their disposal should be received from her Majesty's
Government. The colonists, however, insisted that
they should be sent away from the colony the
moment they arrive. The Brilliant, 20, Captain
Watson, sailed from the Cape for England, on the
same day as the Inflexible left, Aug. 2, at which date
the Southampton, 50, with the flag of Rear-Admiral
Reynolds, Geyser steam-sloop, Dee steam-transport,
and Seringapatam, coal depot, were lying at Simon's
Bay. The Eurydice, 26, was at the Mauritius,
and the Orestes, 18, in the Mozambique Channel.
Rear-Admiral Reynolds was waiting the arrival of
Commodore Wyvill, in the Castor, to resign his
command,- and proceed to the south-east coast of
America. The Randolph convict ship put into
Simon's Bay, in the middle of July, for medical
assistance, in consequence of the late surgeon super-
intendent, Mr. Harry Goldney, having put a period
to his existence by jumping overboard at sea, while
labouring under temporary derangement, caused by
erysipelas in the head. Mr. Lawrance, senior assis-
tant of the flag-ship, having been appointed acting
surgeon-superintendent, the Randolph proceeded on
her destination to Australia.

The Inflexible left St. Helena on the 17th, and the
Brilliant on the 13th August. Commodore Fanshawe,
in the Centaur, had proceeded from that island for
Loando on the 9th; only four days before the Bril-
liant's arrival. The Brilliant left Ascension the 19th
August, and the Inflexible on the 21st. The Tortoise
was the only vessel lying there. The squadron on
the coast was healthy, and very successful.

e regret to announce the death of Mr. 'John
Cameron, who has for some years been connected with
the press in London. He was seized with malignant
Asiatic cholera, at his residence in Lambeth, at seven
o'clock on Saturday evening, and ceased to exist before
nine on Sunday morning.
Tats QUEEN DORAGER.—Yesterday her Majesty
the Queen Dowager, accompanied by their Serene
Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Meiningen,
and the members of her Majesty's household, attended
Divine service at Stanmore Church. The Hon. andßev.
Douglas Gordon and the Rev. Mr. Oliver were the offi-
ciating clergymen. His Serene Highness the Hereditary
Prince of Saxe Meiningen arrived on Friday evening
from Germany, in time to join the dinner circle. His
Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxo Weimar, the
Earl of Denbigh, the Earl Howe, the Hon. Miss Eden,
and Captain Bedford, are staying with her Majesty.
The return of Queen Adelaide to Bentley Priory for
her winter residence has infused much joy to the inha•
bitants, more especially the poor, who, last year, were
recipients of the benevolence of " the good Queen Ade-
laide." The health of her Majesty has much improved
of late.

MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS.—Lord Carlisle has
arrived in town. Mr. Labouchere, President of the
Board of Trade, arrived in town on Friday, but has
since departed for Brighton. Lord Minto has arrived iu
town from a visit to Lord and Lady John Russell. Lord
John Russell remains at Pembroke Lodge, Richmond
Park. Lord Lansdowne, accompanied by his lady, has
gone on a visit to the Duke of Hamilton in Scotland.
Lord Palmerston continues on a visit to the Earl Cow-
per, at Panshanger, Herts. Sir F. Baring is at the
official residence of the First Lord of the Admiralty.
Sir G. Grey is expected by the end of the month at the
Home-office, where Mr. Waddington has been incessant
in his attendance during the recess.—Sunday Paper.
We have authority for stating that the Crown
intends remunerating those who mainly assisted in cap-
turing the Mannings with an amount considerably larger
than that offered in the original notification as a reward
for the apprehension of the unhappy offenders.—
