ANcr.
John MTafferty, found guilty of high treason,
was sentenced to death this morning by Mr. Justice
Fitzgerald. The prisoner said he was found guilty
on the evidence of one witness, and that witness a
perjured informer. Ile sympathised with the Irish
people, and would again joirt them if they had any
prospect of independence, but would not give his
:auction to the useless effus7cin of blood. He would .
go to his grave as a geu4;ilanan and a Christian.
The judge s,dd that this ye:v.:het was just, and he
could hold out no hope that: the sentence would be
mitigated. The 12th June is the day fixed for the
execution.

Re-election of Mr. Gathorn,3 Hirdy for
Oxford University.

OXFORD, Monday.
A convocation was held this morning at ten
o'clock, for the purpose of electing one burgess to
represent this university in Parliament in the place
of the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy, who had vacated
his seat by accepting the office of one of her Ma-
jesty's principal Secretaries of State.

The Vice-Chancellor (the Warden of all Souls'
College) presided over the convocation, and was at-
tended by the Provost of Oriel, the President of St.
John's, the Venerable the Provost of Queen's, the
Venerable Archdeacon Clerk, the Warden of Mer-
ton, the Warden of New College, the senior and
junior proctors, Professors Burrows and- Wall, Dr:
Kenyon, Rev. It. Mitchell (public orator), Revs. T.
Short, W. West, G. S. Ward, F. Merrick, and Dr.
Rowden, registrar of the university. Several ladies
a few undergraduates, were also present ; but
on the whole the proceedings appeared to excite
comparatively little interest.

The VICE-CIIANCELLOR opened the proceedings
by stating briefly, in Latin, the special object for
which this convocation had been convened.

The REGISTRAR then read the precept for pro-
ceeding to another election, and the statutes laying
down the penalties liable to be incurred by any at-
tempt to commit bribery or corruption.

The VICE CHANCELLOR then inquired if any
member of convocation desired to put in nomination
any candidate to supply the vacancy occasioned by
the resignation of the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy;
whereupon
The PROVOST of ORIEL proposed, in a short Latin
speech, the re-election of Mr. Hardy..
The PRESIDENT of ST. JOHN'S seconded the norm_
nation, and read a Latin address in support of it.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR then inquired if any
member of convocation desired to put any other can-
didate in nomination, but after a short pause, and
there being no response to the question, the Vice-
Chancellor declared Mr. Hardy duly elected. The
official return was then signed and sealed, after
which the Vice-Chancellor dissolved the convoca-
tion, the whole proceedings having occupied just
11 minutes.

Mr. Hardy was not present, as it is contrary to
etiquette in the case of an election of a representa-
tive for the university for a candidate to be on the
spot, or to take part in the proceedings. After the
election has been notified in an official manner, it is
customary for the newly elected representative to
call on the resident members of convocation and
leave his card, returning thanks for the honour con-
ferred on him.

CAPE Of GOOD JAPE.

PLYMOUTH, May 20.

The Union Company's steamship Celt arrived
here this evening with 118 passengers and £6,430 in
specie. Her dates are Table Bay, April 19 ; St.
Helena, April 27 ; and Ascension, May 1.
Besides her usual cargo the Celt brings two live
koodoos, the first of this species of antelope brought
to England, and a specimen of some stones found
in the Orange River, pronounced in the colony to be
diamonds. This stone, sent home by the Colonial
Government to be tested, is said to be worth £5OO,
and when cut and polished will be Worth £BOO.
The Cape Parliament was opened by the Gover-
nor on the 13th ult. His Excellency's speech_a long
address—commenced with explaining in a very con-
ciliatory tone that the Government had no wish to
take up a position of antagonism to the Parliament,
nor to show a want of respect for the two houses.
Neither was the Government actuated by hostility
or insincerity in the matter of retrenchment. The
speech proceeded to state that the Government had
accepted the decision of the Parliament to adopt re-
trenchment, and were. willing to give effect to that
measure in detail to the best of their ability. It also
set forth particulars of various reductions in the Go-
vernment departments. It proposed including a re-
commendation to shorten the periods of imprison-
ment of native criminals and to reduce their diet, in
order to render the punishment equally disagreeable.
A reduction of the expense of the frontierpolice his
Excellency considered impracticable.
With the reductions proposed to be carried out ho
estimated there would still remain a deficiency of
£59,000 per.annum of expenditure over revenue. To
meet this the Government proposed a moderate duty
on exports, particularly wools, the leasing of the
Crown lands, an increase of the inland postage, and
the issue of a Government paper currency. It also
proposed the abolition of the present Houses of Par-
liament and the division of the colony into six
electoral circles, each to return three members. To
these 18 to be added three officers of the Executive
Government, the whole to form the only Legisla-
tive Chamber. The Governor also announced, in
reference to the contribution towards the expense of
the troops in the colony, that in 1868 one regiment
must be paid for at the rate of £4O per man; and
that 1869 two regiments must be paid for, and for
the three following years, at the rate of £4O for
every infantry soldier and £7O for every' artillery-
man in the colony.
The Governor's speech was favourably received,
but many points it suggests are not expected to be
carried.
An Orange Free State commando, sent to drive
off the Basutos from the disputed territory and to
destroy their crops, had killed about 25 of the Ba-
sutos in so doing.
Bishop Gray had expressed a desire to obtain
from all the clergy of Natal their decision as to
whether they were prepared to receive Mr. Butler
as their bishop, and recommended them to poll the
communicants, male and female, to ascertain who
would receive Mr. Butler and who would repudiate
him.
Dr. Coleuso had issued a pastoral, addressed to
the clergy and laity, announcing that now it had
been ascertained that there was to be no appeal
from Lord Romilly's judgment, the time had come
for him to vindicate his authority for maintaining
order in his Church. He bid the clergy, if they
thought him in error, to teach what they them-
selves believed, but required due canonical obe-
dience.

CONSTANCE RIVERS. By Lady Barrett Lennard.
Second Edition. 3 vols.—" There is a great deal of talent
displayed in the story of 'Constance Rivers.' Lady Barrett
Lennart writes with considerable force and animation, and
1. • - the scenes she paints very vividly before the eyes
brings ..
of her readers. It is evident, moreover, that., in addition
to the faculty of observation and the power of vigorous ,
description, she possesses no small share of imagination.
It is impossible to follow the course of the heroine's for-
tunes without interest. Several of the scenes through
which sho passes are described with groat power. Te
here, Sir Butane Yorke, is handsome, brave, and entbll-
swot,. His adventures at sea, in the Crimea, and in India,
are told with great spirit ; and the story of his
Lyla forms a very graceful and charming Idyll.,s, love for

[ADVERTISEMENT. I —llollowfty's P ills.—Momentous In-
quiry.—Surrounded as we are by exciting causes of dis-
eases it becomes our duty to seek some means of expelling
impurities from the body or rendering them harmless.
Professor Holloway has discovered te medicine capable of
effecting this all-important point, and has generously
placed it within the reach of the poorest. His pills guard
the constituents of the blood, which, when contaminated
or destroyed, permits fevers, inflammations, and other ma-
ladies to run riot through and undermine the system, or
consign their victims to untimely tombs. In malario s
districts and unhealthy towns these pills, after silently
proving themselves the best protectors against fevers, &e.,
have, within the last few years, been adopted by the pro-
fession and public.
