LATEST FROM THE CAPE.
[By TuPKf.iUAi’ii.] (Per s.s. Bingaruoma, at the Bluff.) Cai','-: Tmv.\, Marcli 21b The Boor agitation, if not died out, lias at least subsided. Joubert and Kruger, two of their leaders, arc going on the slump through the old colony, where they arc not likely to get much countenance. The Basutos remain in a state of almost passive rebellion. They have not given up their arms, nor has Government attempted to enforce its proclamation under the Peace Preservation Act. It is generally believed that no decisive action will be 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 thief who, it is supposed, must have secreted himself in the General Post Oilice. Every package containing diamonds was rifled of its contents. The loss it is believed will exceed £50,000, and falls principally on the Banks, who have been in the habit of insuring diamonds against loss. iNo trace of the thief or thieves is discoverable.
