TilE CAPE MAIL.

PLYMOUTH; Dec. 22.

The steamer Norseman; with the Cape mails, has
arrived here. Her dates are—Table Bay, Novem-
ber 20 ; St. Helena, 28th and Ascension, Decem-
ber 2. She brings 66 passengers and 32 time-
expired soldiers (with women and children), four
packages of specie, and a cargo' of wool, skins, oil,
copper, hides, wines, &c. The Norseman expe-
rienced strong northerly winds along the coasts
of Portugal, and north-westerly winds, with rain,
to Plymouth.
The fever at Cape Town was considered to be
decreasing in the number of patients, but the type
of the disease had increased in virulence, and a class
of people had been attacked who had previously
been comparatively free, from the malady. The Go-
vernment and the municipal authorities were unre-
mitting in their exertions to meet the emergency.
The town Was divided into 12 districts, to each of
which a medical man was appointed to provide the
poorer classes with medicines and food gratis. Drs.
Gray and Brown, two of the most active medical
men, had fallen victims to their exertions to arrest
the epidemic. Medical reports had been sent in,
which disclosed that a large part of the poor in the
town were living in very filthy and generally un-
sanitary homes. The municipal authorities were
endeavouring to remedy this. It is believed that
the fever was introduced iuto the colony from the
Mauritius.

It was immured that the Governor, Sir P. E.
Wodehouse, had been confirmed in his present
appointment for a few years more instead of return-
ing to England by this mail, as was expected.

The rumour that had prevailed that there was
danger from large parties of armed Kaffirs patrol-
ling lyitenhage had been proved groundless by Sir
Waltvr Currie, who had vizited the district with au
armed force.

The Orange Free State and Basuto war still
existed, but there had been no further advances on
either side. Both parties e,,emed satisfied to keep
beyond gunshot of each other.
Trade in the colony was brisker, and the pro-
spects of harvest moat favourable. cereal crops
were abundant; the vineyards freer from oidiura
than for years past, and the wool clip was satisfac-

tory.
The silk culture was progressing favourably.
At the annual meeting of the Church Defence
Association in connection with the Dutch Reformed
Church resolutions were passed condemning the
adjournment policy of the Synod, alleging that the
Privy Council bad made a mistake, and aivo3ating
the ,right of private judgment, and free, fearless,
and unfettered inquiry.
At Natal the leading topic was the confirmation
of the discovery of large beds of good coal in that
colony, and the Government was being urged to
assist in utilising the discovery.
The Colenso dispute continued, and rival con-
gregations were being established by Church mem-
bers who had left the two clergymen who had recog-
nised Dr. Colenso as bishop.
The actions for the ejection of Dean Green and
the Rev. J. Walthom from the ecclesiastical build-
ings they use as belonging to the Church of Eng-
land has come off, but judgment was not expected
to be given before the end of November.
The Rev. Mr. Crompton • has forwarded to the
Colonial Secretary a voluminous despatch referring
to his cancelled commission as justice of the peace
for hia interference in the Colenso dispute.
Her Majesty's ship Hydra, from Malta, the
Spiteful, from Montevideo, and the hired screw
transports Queen of the South and Mauritius had
' arrived at the Cape en route for Bombay, on
' the Abyssinian expedition. The Saida and Nor-
fblk, hired screw coal transports, had also arrived
at the Cape.
The mail steamer Celt arrived out on the 12th of
November. Her Majesty's ship Bristol left Ascen-
sion on the Ist of December for England via Sierra
Leone. The Landrail was to leave on the same
voyage December 5.
The Norseman passed the outward bound Brazil

Oxfordshire, to be a Poor Law Inspector, in the room of
Dr. Edward Smith, who relinquishes his district to take
charge of the medical department at the office of tho Pool
Law Board. Mr. Henley has up to the present time been
acting as a commissioner for inquiring into the condition
of women and children employed in agriculture.

rADTERTIgEMENT.j - Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Sure Relief—The weak and enervated suffer severely from
nervous affections when storms or electric disturbances
agitate the atmosphere. -Neuralgia, gouty pains, and fly-
ing pains, very distressing to a delicate system, may be
readily remove by rubbing this ointment upon the affected
part after it has been fomented with warm water. The
pills taken occasionally, in the doses prescribed by the
instructions, keep the digestion in ardor, excite a free flow
of healthy bile, and regenerate the impoverished 'blood
with richer materials extracted from the food, resulting
from thoroughly assimilated nutriment, wanting which,
the strongest must inevitably soon sink into feebleness,
and the delicate find it difficult to maintain existence.
Holloway's ointment and pills are infallible remedies.

The Most, Rev, Dr. ,Mn Catholic '''''-
s.rehhishop of Fireitmliester,-. t Grant,
Roman Catholic Bish-op of Av,ve issued;,-
orders that the usual custom
sight mass on Christmas Eve is -
!his year. The . Rev. Patrick O'Cr :hen, at
..en o'clock mass at St. Anselm's, Lincoln's-inn-fields,
addressed his congregation, severely condemning
secret societies in general, and Fenianism in par-
icular. The rev. gentleman in the course of
its sermon pointed out the nature and character
A the censures promedgated by the decrees of the
Catholic Church against secret societies, and warned
iii hearers that by the fact of belonging to a secret society
lo or she was excommunicated ipso facto, and could re.
.I.ive neither the sacred rites of the Church nor absolution
:rim any priest, even though on the bed of death. Ire
:.loiracteriscd these societies as compositions of evil, and
tifc men Aviv) (directed them as cruel, trracherans,
and cowardly, n worth y tha con once, respect, or asso-
zia ti on •of any go,sl member of society. The rev. preacher
vehemently denounced the diabolical outrage of Friday
w-ck, and warned his bearers that if the threats
a;.•ainit law and property, the threats of burning do• in
blowing up public and private establishments, were
persevered in and carried out in a few instances, the great
bulk of the Irishmen in England, who he was proud to
say were as hones-, as trustworthy, and as loyal as any
Englishman or Scotchman, would be distrusted, subjected
to unjust suspicions, and so far would be deprived of
means to earn their bread. " Indeed," continued the rev,
gentleman, " I am sure that I am safe in stating that
already hundreds of our poor labouring countrymen-. have
been deprived of or prevented getting employment ,hrough
this very thing. The employers of labour will begin t,l
look upon it as unsafe—and justly so, I am bound to say
—to have an Irishman in their employment or about their
premises or property if these threats are continued
and these outrages persevered in." The society to which he
referred, he was very glad to say, had not as yet gone very
far ; it was but in its infancy here, and it had not up to
this entrapped many of the young men about, but it was
increasing, and unless crushed out at once would prove
calamitous for soul and body. Under O'Connell and the
faithful and well-tried bishops and priests of Ireland, whq
were as ready now as ever they wcre'to lay down their
lives for their flocks, the Irish Catholics were raised iron
a condition of political serfdom to one of consti'aitional
freedom, grievances and disabilities were swept away, and
never was the British people and legislative body more
anxious and disposed than at present to red'eess the great
grievances of Ireland, unless the dastardly outrage o.
Friday week, and'such like ones, mightniter or retard the
legislative intentions.
Two meetings were announced to be held on Clerken-
well-green yesterday—one at eleven o'clock, upon the
invitation of Mr. Finlen, to " expose the treachery of the
Fenians," and the other at three, to be composed of,
according to a handbill circulated, " the men of Ireland
resident in London." They were invited to express their
abhorrence of the Clerkenwell outrage. When these
announcements became known to the police, Mr. Superin-
tendent Gernon, of the G division, laid an information
before a magistrate, in which he stated his belief that if
those meetings, or either of them, were allowed to be held,
a breach of the peace would take place. He grounded his
belief upon the fact that in the neighbourhood of Clerken-
well-green and in the entire district there existed a strong.
feeling of indignation against the persons who origi.
nated the funeral procession in honour of the Man-
chester Murderers, which, as many of the inha'Aants felt,
had-in some way contributed to bring about the crime of -
Friday week. Upon the information being sworn, orders
were given by the Middlesex magistrates, acting under
the advice of the Home Office, that the meetings should
not be permitted to be held, and that any person per-
sisting in addressing the crowd should be taken into cus-
tody. The promoters of the meetings having been duly
warned, a force of about forty men took.up their positions
two and two on the flagways of Clerkenwell-green about
ten o'clock. Upwards of 100 special censtables, resident
in the neighbourhood, remained at home in case their ser-
vices should be required. But few responded to Mr.
Finlen'e invitation. Some dozen Irishmen were on the
Green at eleven o'clock, and left it in half an hour, when
Mr. Finlen bad not made his appearance, nor did he until
twenty minutes past twelve. Mr. Finlen said that under
the circumstances, and as he did not wish there should be
any breach of the peace, he would abandon the idea of
holding the meeting. He then went away, followed by a few
-persons. At three o'clock Mr. Thomas Campbell, the
proposed chairman of the second meeting, Messrs. Mel.
drum, Sweeney, and a few others, made their appearance
at the corner of ClerkenWell-clese, but, ha 'g been
'.apprised by Mr. Finlen of the intentions of the
. they, like him, gave up the idea of persevering in their
design. The projectors of the meeting walked about the
green for some time, and were subjected to very uncom-
plimentary, if nut threatening, remarks by English
I working men. The police ollicers state that the presence
• of-the force was quite as nece3eary to protect Finlen and
I the rest from violence, should they persist in holding the
nieeting, as Co carry out the instruct. ens they hail received.
Happily, no breach of the peace occurred. Finlen was
followed a considerable distance from Clerkenwell by a
crowd of boys and girls shouting " Fenian.! Fenian !"
Inspector Potter sent some constables after Finlen to pro-
tect him.

The Nation and Irishman both publish the following
setter, purporting to have been written by Colonel Kelly-
with reference to the Clerkenwell outrage :--
" London, Pee. 17, 1867.
" Sir,—l ask permission to make a short appeal to our
much-outraged countrymen through your columns, inas-
much as a former appeal of mine to Irishmen in general
seems to be disregarded within the past week.
" While I must admit the difficulty of remaining pas-
sive at this time, and of refraining from some deter-
mined expression of resentment against the horrible out-
rage perpetrated against the whole Irish race by the
Manchester executions, yet once again I must. urge that
that outarge was levelled by the oligarchy against their
victims as much for being democrats as for being
Irishmen.
"In my letter, copied into dour paper recently, I
expressed my heartfelt satisfaction that that sad event
had not resulted in setting Irish against English as such,
nor Catholic against Protestant, which I solemnly believe
to be the result aimed at in the Manchester executions. I
had hoped to make the sad affair a means of cementing
the alliance between the democracy of both countries, for
the oppressors well know that such a consummation would
be their death-knell ; but if, regardless of our alliance with
the English organised democracy, over•zenlons but late
accessions to the national ranks persist in acting regard-
less of national policy and what we owe our English
brethren, and injudiciously and injuriously vent their
wrath in isolated destruction of private property, it re-
mains but for me once mare to reprobate such a course as
doing the work of the common enemy.
" I can well understand such a course being adopted-by
our organised enemies, governmental-and otherwise, or by
thieves for the purpose of plunder, but not to be adopted
at the hands of friends, who should not fail to see, as our
enemies do, that it throws a doubt on • our pledges to our

English brethren.
" Our quarrel is not with the English people, but with
their oppressors and ours. The oligarchy now know this,
and will not be over-semi-nib-us about burning a few
houses in populous neighbourhood:s and sowing disunion in
the minds of English democrats. Policemen anxious for
promotion and such like must be looked upon suspiciously,
who may hereafter `discover' houses ignited by Greek
fire. Such tricks might answer in Lord George Gordon's
time, but the oligarchy can no longer throw dust into the
eyes of the democracy. Once again, then, we renew our
pledge to English democracy, that no with( riscd move-
movement shall take place in England, unless in self-defence,
without the full concurrence of the English people, when,
with a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, it
is certain we can effect our common disenthralment.—
Ycurs faithfully, " T. J. KELLY, C.E.1.11."
The London correspondent of the Scotsman says :
"There is little doubt that the police, in arresting t.ho
four men who were brought up at Bow-street on Saturday,
have broken into the very hotbed of Fenianism in Lon-
don. It was in this neighbourhood that Burke lived, and
iu which the American-Irish took up their abode. No
one seems, however, to have thought of putting a closer
watch upon the place until the man Vaughan made his
statement to the police. Other captures are expected
before long. Meantime, indignation is expressed at what
is called the utter inefficiency of our police system •, and it
is averred that one of the subjects discussed at the Cabinet
Council on Thursday was how the system could be
amended."

-----
following 'telegram has been received :—" Glasgow,
Sunday night.—Four hundred yards of blasting rope have
been found to-night in the ash-pit near the Goat caddens
gasom-ter—one of the largest in the city. Blasting rope'
is powder hid or surrounded with gutta-percha, and is an
explosive agent much used by miners for blasting pur-

Considerable constemathm and excitement prevailed at
Bristol on Saturday, in consequence of its becoming known -
that the authorities had received information leading to
the belief that some Fenian outrages were intended, and
that a special meeting of the entire magistracy of the city
and county had been, in consequence, hastily summoned.
It would seem that the chief of the police rc,cewed informa-
tion to the effect that a plan had been crgardvd for at-
trcking simultaneously the different wor':s of the Bristol
tirnt,e‘l Gas Light Company on the sea hanks, in Avon-
street, St. Philip's and Jacob, and Maudlin-street, St.
Michael, and thiit advant;eze would be taken of the sup-r-
-e,mios, dart:, t.; hy means of th .J netoricue
Fenian or Greek tire, —destroy some of the public buildings
and churches. The communications were for the most part.
anonymous, but other circumstances within the know-
ledge of the superintendent convinced him that he ought
not to disregard them, and he accord;ngly communicated
with the mayor, Mr. Francis Adams, the magistrates'
clerk, &c., and a special 'need': g of the j usCces was fortliw. th
held. It was resolved to at once summon a meeting
the special constables sworn in under the Municipal A ct,
and the meeting was held, and addressed by the Mayor,
who requested the constables to consider themselves at
once on duty, and to be ready to present themselves at the
several district station-houses at the shortest notice, where
the necessary arms would be given out. At nine o'clock
in the evening the Mayor had another conference with the
chief of police, and precautionary measures for the night
