CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
In the Gazette of 14-th May, we find tbe usual trade returns for the quarter ending 31st March. The imports were £512,547, as compared with £612,558 last year ; and the entries for consumption, £486,553, as agamst £533,015. The exports, on the other hand, show an increase of from £473,292 to £669,379. Money is plentiful for investment. In proof of the total suspension of b usiness in Cape Town during the past week, in consequence of the interference with the goods in bond, the duties paid at the Custom-house here from the lst to the 6th instant, amounted to only £14, while the average paid on the first week of each month hitherto has been about £2,000."
