LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

THE IMPERIAL MEETING.
SALZBURG, Aug. 22.

It is stated that the Emperor and Empress of
Austria have promised the Emperor Napoleon to
pay a visit to Paris at the beginning of October
next, and that they will there meet Queen Victoria,
who, it is arranged, will visit the French capital at
the same time. It is believed that one of the chief
objects of the understanding which have been come
to between the two Emperors is to prevent South
Germany from joining the North German Confe-
deration, their Majesties considering the formation
of a South German Bund, under the leadership of
Austria, aq the only admissible scheme of confedera-

tion for the South. The views of the two sove-
reigns relative to the Eastern question are said to
entirely coincide.

BELGIUM.
INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.
BRUSSELS, Aug. 22.

The Moniteur Beige of this morning publishes
a convention, concluded between Belgium and
Switzerland on the 25th April last, for the pro-
tection of international copyright.

AMERICA.

QUEENSTOWN, Aug. 22.

The National Steamship Company's steamer
England, from New York, arrived here at three
o'clock this morning. After landing passengers
she proceeded for Liverpool. All well.

FALMOUTH, Aug. 22.

The New York and Havre Company's steamship
Guiding Star arrived here from Havre at 10.30 a.m.
to-day. She embarked 72 passengers and proceeded
for New York at 11 a.m.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
PLYMOUTH, Aug. 22.
The Union Company's steamer Norseman, from
the Cape of Good Hope, has arrived here. Her
dates are—Cape, July 20 ; St. Helena, 29 ; and
Ascension, Aug. 2. She brings 89 passengers, two
packages of specie, and a full cargo.
Among her passengers are L. Cotterill, Bishop of
Grahamstown ; L. Twells, Bishop of Orange Tree
State ; the Rev. F. St. Leger, Lieut.-Col. Hawes,
from the Cape; and Lieut.-Colonel Freeth, from
Galle.

The mails were forwarded by this morning's
mail train, and the Norseman then proceeded for
Southampton.
At the Cape preparations for the reception of the
Duke of Edinburgh were being continued. It was
expected that the display that would be made would
exceed the one that was made on his first visit to

the Cape.
The arrival of the news in the colony that the
diamond sent home in April was a real gem had
occasioned a considerable number of diamond-
seekers, including some certificated lapidaries from
Amsterdam, to go prospecting the diamonds in the
direction of the Orange River. More diamonds
have been found, including one valued at £l,OOO.
The Parliamentary session was approaching its
close. The Government Native Passes Bill had been
carried in a modified form by the Assembly. By it
the natives beyond the border are declared
to be too numerous, as well as too barbarous,
to be allowed indiscriminate admission into the
colony, or to wander over it. Only those to whom
passes shall have been issued by competent authori-
ties resident beyond the frontier are, therefore, to

be allowed to enter the colony, either for employ-
ment or any other purpose. The Kaffirs in native

CENTRAL ASIA.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 22.

localities within British Kaffraria, and the Tam-
bookies in Queenstown, are to be considered " native
foreigners," and subjected to the act. A Kaffir or
Tambookie within those districts, however, who may
be a proprietor of land or possess immovable pro-
perty to the value of £2O sterling, or who by industry
and good conduct during his residence in the colony
of seven years merits the privilege, will be provided
with a certificate of citizenship that will give him
perfect immunity from the pass system.
Mr. Moltens's Cattle Theft Repression Amend-
ment Act had also been passed, but was much
altered. It provides that all stock stealing cases
shall be disposed of by magistrates, but that no
sentence of flogging can be inflicted unless ap-
proved by a judge of the Supreme Court.
The movement for retrenchment in the finances
had almost died out, and nearly all the reduc-
tions resolved upon last year had been reversed.
The return of prosperity to the colony, ho never,
and the consequent increase of receipts in almost
every department, had provided for this, and had
partly equalised receipts and expenditure.
There bad been a heavy north-east gale on the
coast ; no wreck was reported, but several vessels
had been damaged.
Bishop Twells, immediately before his return to
England by the present steamer, had been armed
with authority from the Bishop of Cape Town as
metropolitan to officiate and have jurisdiction in
Natal. Dr. Twells had again visited that diocese,
and much ill-feeling had again been exhibited
between his friends and those of Dr. Colenso.

Letters received here from Orenburg announce
that fresh disturbances have broken out on the
Russo-Bokharian frontiers.
