CAPTAIN CONNOLLY AND LIEUTENANT STODRART.— It is with great delight we have to state that we have seen a letter from India, which flatly contradicts the report of the murder of Messrs. Connolly and Stodhart by the barbarians. The account comes via Meshio, and is grounded on letters received by certain Jewish houses in that place. The writer has no doubt of their veracity.—Dublin Evening Post. Baazu RETURN or M. Ews.—Her Majesty's ship Malabar has arrived with accounts to the Ist of April from Rio de Janeiro, and the 11th March, from Buenos Ayres. Mr. Ellis, the British Special Envoy, has returned in her, after having received the most special marks of favour from the Emperor and all the elite of Brazilian haul ton. In fact, his short residence seems to hare worked a most friendly feeling in favour of British interests, and tbere can be no doubt, we conceive, judging by the tone of the Government organs of Rio de Jadeiro, that negociations will be immediately opened in London for the purpose of effecting a new commercial treaty. Prince Joinville had arrived in Brazil, ' and the Court festivities on the occasion are described as being very brilliant ; though it is proper to mention that Mr. Ellis was an honoured guest upon these occasions. Exchange 26, and Stock 69. There were to be more paper issues.  Cape of Good Hope papers of the 6th of August have arrived by the Vernon off Falmouth. In reference to politics, these journals afford nothing particular, except a confirmation of the generally quiet condition of the north-eastern frontier, and the disposition of the Boers to settle themselves in their various occupations. On the state and prospects of the new settlement at Algoa Bay the accounts are favourable. At the latest date there were 17 vessels in the port— a criterion of the increase of trade, and the opening it affords to extend the employment of the shipping connected with the colony. The export of wool during 1842 from Port Elisabeth was in amount 905,7361 b., and the rapid progress cf the business of the place is shown by the comparison of the value of produce shipped from Table Bay and. Algoa Bay for the last 21 years. The Table Bay returns in 182-1 gave the amount at £130,578, and in 1842 at £167,134; while the returns of Algoa Bay for 1821 were £1,500, and in 1842 £112,871. From Natal there is nothing worth detailed mention. An official announcement of the government:in Holland of its opinions and views respecting the affair with the Boers had been published in all the journals, clearly showing that the supercargo of the Dutch vessel Brasilia, who had gone so far as to publish a pamphlet for distribution among the disaffected, holding out hopes of succour from the Hague were the contest continued, and attempting to establish an indisputable right to their occupance of the soil, was not warranted in giving utterance to such opinions, or encouraging the malcontents in their opposition to the English troops. Abundance of rain had fallen in the neighbourhood of Caffreland, and for many years the country had not been refreshed by so copious a supply of water. The interior of the colony had also received much benefit from this change in the weather, and the Fish River with the other streams were full for future wants. The destructive disease known as the " glanders" had again broken out at the Cape and some of the adjoining districts. The governor had issued a notice cn the subject, in which he instructs the field cornets to destroy every infected animal found at large, and exhorts the inha. bitants to put to death at once every horse showing symptoms of the contagion, and to use their utmost endeavours to prevent its further progress.
