LATE NEWS FOM THE CAPE.
The Boers agitation if not died out has at least subsided. Jouber and Kreuger, two of their leaders, are going to stump the colony, where they are not likely to get much countenance. Natal has been toasting the departing Governor, and preparing to welcome the coming one, Sir George Colley. The Basutos remain in a state of almost passive rebellion ; they have not given up their arms, nor has the Government attempted to entorce the proclamation. A registered letter bag from Kimberley to England was opened by some thief, supposed to have secreted himself in the general post office. Every package containing diamonds was rifled of its contents. The loss, which is believed to •zoeed 1,50,000, which falls principally on the banks, have been in the habit o insuring diamonds against loss. No trace, of the thief or thieves has been found. •
