Accounts have been received from the Cape of Good Hope,
to the 9th April. The Government Gazette publishes (to-
gether with two dispatches from Lord Stanley to the Governor
of this colony) certain letters patent of her Majesty, dated
28th November, 1843; affecting the administration •f justice
in a most important manner. Since the establishment of the
Supreme Court in this colony, under the charter of her Ma-
jesty's predecessor, the highest judicial authority was placed
in a state of entire independence of the legislative power in
the colony. That independence could only be interfered
with by her Majesty, by means of letters patent. Under
such a balance in the exercise of the several powers, in
respect of the administration of justice, with which the
legislative and judicial departments have been vested, the
letter patent of her Majesty, placing the Supreme Court under
the control of the Legislature of the colony, will be hailed by
the public there with a due sense of deep gratitude. It em-
powers the Governor and the Legislative Council, by ordi-
nance— _ .

" To make provision for the better administration of jus-
tice; to alter and amend the constitution of the Supreme
Courts, civil or criminal ; to regulate the manner of proceed •
ing within such Courts, the limits of their jurisdiction, the
times and places of holding such Courts, and the number and
functions of the officers for such Courts, the powers and
authorities of the judges respectively, and all other matters
and things incident to or necessary for the economical,
prompt, and effective administration of civil and criminal
justice. _ _

" That no law or ordinance, duly made and passed, shall
take effect or have the force or authority of law, until it shall
have been confirmed or ratified by her Majesty, unless it
shall have been passed by the unanimous votes of the Legis-
lative Council, in which latter case such ordinance shall
take effect from the date of its enactment; her Majesty,
however, reserving to herself the right and authority to dis-
allow it notwithstanding."
On the north-eastern frontier the system of horse stealing
continued, and the farmers were quite unable to prevent it.
In other respects the colony was progressing well, and wanted
but an augmentation of its labour power. Table Bay was
fuller than usual of French, American, and British vessels.
The arrival out of the English settlers in the eastern part of
the colony, in the year 1820, had been commemorated by a
grand dinner and fete at Port Elizabeth.
The private advices per West India mail set at rest, ap-
parently, any hope of the usual supplies of sugar from our
colonies in that direction ; while St. Domingo and Cuba, having
been distracted by revolutions and disturbances, will, no doubt,
ship off less than usual to the continental ports. Under
these circumstances the new Sugar Bill will not do much for
the consumers, although it is possible that prices
would have been forced up, but for its becoming
law. The growth of sugar is large enough, if we

had but the option of feeding our wants from any source.
