The following bulletin of the health of the King
of PAUSSIA was issued on the 25th inst.:—

" The fever occasioned by the wound still continuing
the King passed a restless night, and only slept at inter-
vals. The swelling of the wound has not diminished,
but it is less painful. The secretion of the wound is of
a more purulent character. _ _

There can be but little doubt that the attempted
assassination was the isolated crime of a madman ;
the reactionaries, however, are attempting to make
the most of it by more than insinuating that the
assassin was set on by the Liberals. Recollect-
ing, however, the present state of relations between
Austria and Prussia, the politics of the heir
to the Prussian throne, and the attempts that
were made to assassinate ossuni at Shumla, it is to
Vienna that we should look fur the origin of the plot,
if plot there be, rather than to Switzerland.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We have received Cape papers to the 24th Marcb,
but they are almost destitute of interest. Their co-
lumns are much occupied with the varied festivities
which had taken place commemorative of their late
deliverance from Earl Grey's obnoxious convict
scheme.

The Ada, Alice, Maud, Southampton, and Os.
borne, had arrived from England, within five days,
taking out 39 large mail boxes, which contained up-
wards of 13,000 letters and newspapers.
The following paragraphs from these journals are
those only worth extracting :
(From the Graham's Town Journal.)
ORANGE RIVER DISTURBANCES.—Orders have been
issued at Graham's Town for two companies of the 91st
Regiment and a troop of the C. M. Rifles to hold them-
selves in marching order. This, it is supposed, origi-
nates in the message sent recently to the Griquas by the
proscribed Commandant Preturius. It is net inferred
that there is any serious cause for apprehension; but
still it may be depended on, that whatever move may be
made inimical to the peace of the country, it will be met
promptly, and put down decisively, by her Majesty's
High Commissioner.

4,000 Kafirs present, including all the principal Chiefs

addressed the chiefs, and gave them some whole:onse
advice. He called upon the C4.mmissioners
of the
Hlambie and Gaika Kafirs for their reports, which they
then make, and which were highly favourable. The
tchheiydswwisehred. etheTnhey all expressed themselves well satis-
fied; called upon to make any statement
lied; Botman and Sandilli, of the Gaika Kafirs, how-
ever, stating, at the SUMO time, that they wanted more

HORRIBLE DEATH.--PORTSMOUTH, MoNDAT.--A
deplorable accident happened on South-sea Common this
morning, whereby a private soldier of the 28th Regimeat,
named William liruton, a fine young man, lost his life. A
fatigue party from this regiment went out this morning from
their barracks in Portsmouth for the purpose of rolling the
exercise-ground and road. The roller was a large iron one,
and heavily loaded. Tue men were going fast with it, and
the unfortunate deceased had hold of the shaft. He is sup-
posed to have stumbled and let go his hold of the shaft, for
befell, and the roller passed immediately over him, literally
crushing the body into the earth, and completely flattening
it. It is supposed that his death must have been instan-
taneous, for such was the pool of blood that it appeared that
every aiom had been pressed from the body. The corpse
was immediately conveyed to the hospital by his distressed
comrades, where au input will be held thin oveuiag.
