SEEDS.

Linseed is less active, and the late advance in prices is
with difficulty maintained. Rapeseed is firm, but the busi-
ness doing is rather limited. Cloverseed is dull, and in
canary seeds very little is doing. Tares are in moderate
request, atfull prices. In the value of cakes no change has
taken place.

BUROLARIOUSLY ENTURING A DWELLING-HOUSE,—
Three stout-built young fellows, named James Parker,
William French, and John Holland, were charged, before
Mr. Beadon, with stealing, from 11, Upper Marylebone-
street, three silk dresses, and other property, belonging to
Mr. Daniel Hagan, house painter, drc.
The prosecutor said that about halt-past eleven on Satur-
day night he was sitting in his kitchen, when, hearing
footsteps overhead in the parlour, he went upstairs, and
seeing a light in the parlour he went out of the front door
cautiously, closing it after him, and just outside
saw the prisoner Holland, whom he at once
seized. On looking through the window from the street,
he saw the other prisoners in the act of removing a pair of
plated candlesticks from the sideboard, and placing them
with other property ready for removal. He called " Police 1"
upon which some persons came up, and one of them ex-
claimed " Knife the —1" The two in the parlour
(French and Parker) then rushed out of tho room and got
over a wall at the rear of the house. The property prepared
for removal was of more than .C 6 value, and he had been
robbed five times before.

In answer to the magistrate the prosecutor said that, one
hour previously, he locked the door of the room, leaving
the window up about two inches, and afterwards found it
thrown open and a wire blind broken down.
Committed for trial.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

PLYMOUTH, APRIL 1.

The Union Steam Navigation Company's mail
packet Norman, Commander J. Boxer, from the
Cape of Good Hope, Feb. 21 ; St. Helena, March
1; and Ascension, March 5, arrived this morning.

Her cargo, valued at £12,000, includes 289 bales
of wool, 200 casks of wines, and ostrich feathers
worth £2,000.
Among the passengers arc Dr. Dumbroo C. 13
from the Cape ; Dr. Mullins, from St. Helena ; and
Captain Courtney, of her Majesty's corvette Archer,
13, from Ascension.

The disease in the vine has not been so extensive
as was at first expected. The haanepool and mus-
castel have suffered most.
In the Graaf-Reinet division alone the loss of
stock by the late drought is estimated at £lOO,OOO.
Much squabbling exists among the projectors of
the Cape Town and Wellington Railway, and little
progress comparatively has been made. The pro-
posed Wyneberg Railway and the line from Port
Elizabeth to Graham's Town are yet in abeyance.
The Cape Parliament was further prorogued
until March 21.

The Supreme Court has declared Mahomedan
marriages solemnised without banns to be illegal—
a decision which will affect a large portion of the
colonial population.

Mr. E. C. Turpin, one of the Cape Town Cavalry,
has been mortally wounded by a Minie bullet
which had become detached, and remained in one
of the rifles after ball practice. His funeral was
attended by 400 volunteers.

DESPERATE AND FATAL AFFRAY
WITH POACHERS.

On Tuesday morning, about three o'clock, as two
of Sir Thomas Seabright's gamekeepers were on
the look-out for a number of poachers they had been
informed were in the park and preserves a few
hours previous, they met with three men armed
with guns in a lonely place called Foul-slough, ad-
joining Lamb-spring, a lane between the village of
Studham and Gadsden-row, situate about half a
mile from the mansion, five miles fromHemel Hemp-
stead, Herts, and two miles from Markyate-street.
On getting near to the poachers, John Seabrook, the
heat gamekeeper, demanded of them what business
they had there. Instead of giving an answer,
one of the three trespassers deliberately took aim
and fired the contents of his gun, which entered
the neck and breast of the keeper, The wounded
man made a convulsive spring, fell on his back with
a groan, and instantly expired. Another of the
gang of poachers shot at Thomas Cook, the second
gamekeeper, but the wounds he received were not
instantly fatal. The shot entered the lower part of
his body and left thigh, leaving him just sufficient
strength to reach some cottages standing within
200 or 300 yards, and to give information of what
had taken place.
A number of men as quickly as possible as-
sembled, some proceeding to the mansion of Sir
Thomas Seabright, Beachwood Park, others to the
mill and the farm adjoining the park, others taking
the body of poor Seabrook to his cottage, just in-
side the park. Thomas Cook was also taken to him
home at Clemens-end, about a mile from the scene
of the murder.

Sir Thomas ordered messengers to be sent to
Mr. Hubert, surgeon, Markyate-street ; to the
superintendents of police at Hemel Hempstead,
Herts, and Luton, Beds ; and by 5 o'clock that
morning a strong body of police officers and others
were scouring the woods, the coppices, and neigh-
bourhood. Jackson, police-officer of Markyate-
street, and Townsend, of Water-end, within a short
time apprehended a man of the name of George
Cain, of Studham, and conveyed their prisoner to
the police station at Hemel Hempstead. Cook's
wounds are of a very dangerous character, so much
so that but faint hopes are entertained of his reco-
very. Seabrook was a married man, thirty-six
years old, leaving but one child—he having lost
one a few weeks since. Cook is also a married
man, having a wife and five children. He is thirty-
six years of age.
