THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE MAILS.
PLYMOUTLI, Jan. 22.

The 'Union Company's steamer, Celt, with the
above mails, arrived here this morning. Her dates
are Cape of Good Hope, 19th December ; St.
Helena, 27th ; and Ascension 31st. She brings 52
psssengers, among whom are Colonel Fellows, of
the Cape Staff, and Col. Dunne of the 99th Regi-
ment. The mails have been landed and forwarded,
and the Celt has proceeded for Southampton.

The Capo Parliament continued in session, and it
was not known when the prorogation would take
place. A great deal of time had:been consumed in
the discussion of the proposals of the select commit-
tee of the House of Assembly on the con-
templated retrenchments in the expenditure.
Resolutions in support of the general conclusions at
which the committee had arrived were carried and
transmitted to the governor. His Excellency
passed them on to the Legislative Council, and the
latter to-day expressed its general concurrence
therein. The Colonial Secretary stated in the
House of Assembly that the estimates for 1867
would be ready by Dec. 26, but added that
Government was disinclined to submit the same,
except with the understanding that the House
would go through with them. This the members
had pledged themselves to do. Nothing was
known with certainty with respect to the character
of the Government scheme, but an impression was
gaining ground that it would be a comprehensive
one, and go much further than either the retrench-
ment committee or Parliament had ventured.

The amended Customs' tariff had passed through
the House of Assembly, from the operations of
which some additions to the revenue were expected.
There would, however, still be a considerable dif-
ference between the debtor and creditor sideof colonial
accounts, and it was anticipated that he would
again have to authorise Government to negotiate a
loan. Trade was still gradually, though slowly,
reviving, and crops were being harvested in a very
favourable condition. The House of Assembly had
voted £l,OOO to defray the expense of the colony
at the Paris Exhibition. Matters on the frontier
of the Orange Free State remained peaceable.
Cattle-stealing was continued by the natives, but

there seemed no probability of peace being dis-
turbed.

The Union Company's steamship Mauritius re-
mained on Table Bay slip ; all efforts to remove her
had failed, but another was about to be tried.

The Cape of Good Hope Agricultural Show,
held in Cape Town on the 28th, had been highly
creditable to all who had taken a share in it.
Amongst the new industries which these shows
were calculated to encourage were manufactured
tobacco and cigars, of both of which samples were
shown.

The Roman arrived out on December 16th, and
the Kaffraria on December 10th.

HUNGARY.

The Governor of Transylvania has addressed re-
monstrances to the Austrian Government against
the Imperial patent upon the organisation of the

army.

The Deak party deny that au understanding ex-
ists between Her Pulszky and the German political
leaders in Vienna. It is believed that a Hungarian
Ministry will be appointed.
