[Rettteb's Special Sttsimaby. ] [Via Australia and tho Bluff.] CAPETOWN, March 29. Tho Boer agitation, if not died out, has at least subsided. Joubert and Kruger, two of their leaders, are going on the stump through tho old colony, where they are not likely to get much countenance. Natal has been feasting its doparting Governor, Sir Henry Bulwer, and preparing to welcome the coming one, Sir George Oolley. The Basutos remain in a state of almost passive rebellion. They have not given up their arms, nor has Government attempted to enfore its proclamation under the Peace Preservation Act. It is generally believed that no decisive action will bo taken until the meeting of the Cape Parliament on the sth of May. A registered letter bag from Kimberley to England was opened by some theif who, it is supposed, must have secreted himself in the General Post Office. Every package containing diamonds was rifled of its contents. The loss, which it is believed will exceed £50,000, falls principally on the Banks, who have been in the habit of insuring diamonds against loss. No trace of the thief or thieves is discoverable.
