THE CAPE OE GOOD HOPE

FALMOUTH, AUG. 17.
The Imperatriz steamer, Sharp commander, ar-
rived this morning from Aden, where she has been
engaged in laying down the electric cable in the
Red Sea, bound for Liverpool, and put in here to
replenish her fuel.
She left Aden on the 11th of June ; Mauritius,
25th ; Simon's Bay, 10th of July ; St. Vincent's,
30th of July; and from Madeira on the Bth of
August.
The Imperatriz left in Simon's Bay, Cape of
Good Hope, the ship Ostrich, of London, with loss
of rudder, and would be ready for sea in a few
days ; also the barque Spirit of the Age, Belling,
master, with loss of rudder.
Her Majesty's ship Perseverance was under
orders to proceed from Simon's Bay to Algoa Bay
to bring up part of the 59th Regiment.
The Governor and his lady were expected to
leave for England in the Perseverance on her

return.
The foundation-stone of the patent slip at
Simon's-bay would be laid by the Governor on the
14th of July.
Things were quiet at the Cape, and provisions
extremely dear, owing to the want of means of
transport from the interior, and the great scarcity
of labourers.
The Imperatriz spoke 87th July, in 11 40 north,

21 20 west, the ship Roxburgh Castle, for Mel
bourne; and 15th August, in 43 25 N., 9 25 W.
the French brig Giaour, from Liverpool, for Mar-
seilles.

We have received files of papers from the Cape
to the 9th July.
The Cape Parliament was prorogued on the Bth
July, when the Governor made the following
speech :

" Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Legislative Council,
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly :
" I am glad to find myself at length enabled to release
you from the duties of this protracted session, and, in so
doing, to be able t o congratulate you upon the unusual degree
of tranquillity which prevails throughout the whole of the
frontier districts, as well as in the dependencies of the
Crown and foreign States, whether European or native,
which lie beyond the colony.
" The excitement which recently existed among some
of the tribes within and around the frontier, which was,
however, never more than partial, appears now to have en-
tirely subsided ; and I continue to receive satisfactory ac-
counts of the disposition of the native tribes in general, and
of the desire which they are more and more exhibiting to
adopt many of the habits of settled life, to acquire property,
and to obtain a secure title, giving them an individual right
in the lands which they occupy.
" You will be also glad to hear that in British Caffraria
entire tranquillity prevails, that law and good order are
strictly, and now, without difficulty, enforced in that coun-
try, that the prospects of the European settlers there ap-
pear to be good, and that the native and European popula-
tions are gradually settling down into a state of society in
which they can be mutually advantageous to each other.
" The opinion expressed by the House of Assembly, with
regard to the propriety of allowing the port of East London
to assume its obviously natural relation in regard to the
territory of Caffraria, will much strengthen the hands of
Government, in consolidating and confirming the state of
things now in progress in, that country, and which appears
to augur so well for the future prosperity and contentment
of its mixed and hitherto antagonistic populations.
I thank you for the wise and liberal provision you have
made for the continuance of general immigration during the
year 1860.
"My own views, as you are aware, led me to desire
that a larger sum should be devoted to this purpose, which
I believe to be one of paramount importance to the ad-
vancement and future security and welfare of the colony.
But I cheerfully admit that the large sum you have voted
for this object may be productive of a great amount of good
in these respects, and every effort shall be made to render
your liberality as advantageous to the country as you desire
it should be.
" The very considerable means which you have supplied
for the execution of the public works, either now in pro-
gress, or which are to be immediately entered on, will, I
have no doubt, produce a great effect in developing the re-
sources of the colony. In like manner it may reasonably be
expected that the funds provided for the erection of hos-
pitals, public buildings, and gaols, will be productive of ad-
vantages to the entire population, the full benefits of
which it is difficult to overrate; and I confidently antici-
pate that your foresight and prudence in making these
provisions for the future morality, prosperity, and welfare
of the people of this country, will be hereafter regarded
with thankfulness and gratitude.
" I trust that the Act which has been passed during the

present session, to provide for the adjustmeni of disputed
land boundaries, may have the effect of preventing much
of that ill-will and litigation which has hitherto sprung
from so fertile a source of dispute ; and that it may tend to
materially promote the agricultural interests of the colony,
by removing many of the obstacles which have hitherto
interfered with the subdivisions of land.

" The increased means which have been provided for
carrying on the trigonometrical survey of the colony will
also be productive of much advantage to proprietors of the
soil, and to the country. generally. I have felt much
anxiety to see this trigonometrical survey undertaken, and
placed upon an efficient footing. Hitherto it has, from the
want of such a survey, been impossible to construct an even
tolerable accurate map of the country. I think that the

importance of the subject has been hardly sufficiently un-
derstood, and that is not until the full benefits, which will
result from your having sanctioned this work, develope
themselves, that the value of what you have done for the
colony, in this respect, will be fully appreciated.

" I was glad to see among the private bills you sent up
to me some very useful measures. One of these I have but
little doubt will tend greatly to promote the commerce 'and
trade of the country, and to attract shipping to these
shores.

" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,
" I thank you for the attention you have paid to the
various recommendations I have made to you upon the sub-
ject of the supplies which were deemed necessary for the
conduct of the public service. You may. rely that all such
supplies as have, by the liberality of the Parliament, been
placed at the disposal of the Government, shall be expended
with the, strictest regard to economy.

" Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Legislative Council,
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,

"I feel great gratification in being able to inform you
that the President of the Transvaal Republic has transmit-
ted to me a very satisfactory assurance that no apprehen-
sions need be entertained of the inhabitants of that State
making any attack on the Kuruman mission stations.
"An address has been sent up to me by one branch of
the Legislature, requesting that plans and estimates may
be prepared for the erection of a Parliament-house ; and I
am aware that the other branch of the Legislature also
concurs in the propriety of such a building being erected.
Recognising fully, as I do, the justice and propriety of the
views of which have originated this wish on your parts,
and foreseeing numerous advantages which may spring
from both Houses of the Colonial Parliament meeting under
one roof, and being brought into much closer and more
frequent communications with one another than is at pre-
sent possible, I will take care that no time is lost in the pro
paration of the plans and estimates for the proposed build
ing, so that they may be laid before the Colonial Parliament
at its meeting.

"As it has been judged preferable that the works for
the proposed harbour of refuge should not be entered on
until the plans on which it is to be constructed have been
laid before you, measures have been taken for'securing the
preparations of these plans and the accompanying estimates
without delay, and for having all matters placed in such a
state of readiness that the works cau be at once commenced
when their execution has received your sanction.

" I trust (and in expressing these feelings I know I
shall secure your entire sympathy and concurrence) that the
present threatening state of affairs in Europe may exercise
no evil influence upon the interests of South Africa, and
that, by God's blessing, our own country may long be en-
abled to abstain from engaging in the European war which
has so recently burst forth. But should Great Britain un-
happily be compelled to take an active part in the existing
contest, it is gratifying to know that in no part of her Ma-
jesty's possessions are her subjects animated by a more de-
voted loyalty, or by a more earnest desire by every means
in their power, toprotect her Majesty'shonour and interests
than we are.

t‘ I now, in her Majesty's name, prorogue this Parlia •
ment of her Majesty's settlement of the Cape of Good Hope,
to Wednesday, the 10th day of August next, and it is here-
by prorogued accordingly."

QUEEN'S PRINTERS' PATENT.--The select com-
mittee appointed to inquire into the nature and extent of
the Queen's Printers' patent, so far as relates, to the right
of printing the Holy Scriptures for England and Wales, was
published yesterday. The committee state that they had
proceeded to take some evidence on the subject referred to
them, but in consequence of the late period of the session
they were precluded from completing the inquiry. They
therefore recommend the re-appointment of the committee
in the next session of Parliament.

TIIE RECENT MURDER NEAR LEEDS.--The ad-
journed inqueAt on the body of Richard Broughton, the
man who was barbarously murdered in a field near Round-
hay, a village near Leeds, in the afternoon of Saturday, the
6th inst., was held yesterday before Mr. Jewison, the coro-
ner for the district. Mr. W. Hey, surgeon, who had rhade
a post mortem examination of the body of the deceased,
stated that the injuries which the ufortunate man had re-
ceived were the cause of his death, and the jury returned a
verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons
unknown." The perpetrators of the crime have hitherto
eluded detection, and there does not appear much proba-
bility of their capture.
