INTERESTING FROM THE CAPE OF Coon HoPE.-
We have received by the Eliza Ann, which was
boarded on Wednesday. by one OF our spirited
news collectors, a file of the Port Natal Gazette
to the 25h of October, inclusive.


That portion of the globe seems to be making as
rapid progress in civilization as most other paris


Cape Town appears to be an extensive depot
for guano traders. The trade in that article has
increased beyond precedent. IL is stated that
guano will be found on all Islands of volcanic

that with these vessels together with those that

now remaining would be entirely removed in about sis
months.
