THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND.

The operations against the Maories are still going on.
The Wanganui Chronicle gives an account of a battle on
the West Coast, the enemy being surprised and driven
from one of their strongest positions. " The loss on our
aide, so far, was four killed and twelve wounded, while
the loss of the enemy must have been heavy—seven dead
rebels, at least, were counted under the feet of our ad.
vancing columns. All the tents of a large encampment,
and many arms of various descriptions, were captured, be-
sides a large number of women and children." As the
date of this engagement is given so far back as the 13th of
March, it appears to be but the same as that described a
short time ago.

the world can be, as also are the following:—Viscount,
George Osbaldeston, Lady Z Aland, Gle•ilivat, Atreus,
Hock, Janet Rawcliffe, The Cure colt, Louisa colt, Calli-
lxelia, filly by Rubiui, Sir Digby, Blair Athol filly, Nil

RICIIMOND.—The following horses have Leen doing good
work since my last : —Geant des Batailles, Brennus, Xthon,
Falkland, King Cole, Valtz, Meteor filly, Fragrance, East
Coast, Da Clare, Attache, Divulger, Enterprise, Italian
Gipsy, The Bobby, Danube, Gleaner, Mansfield, Zeno,
Waterloo, Number Nip, Little Bell, Last Rose of Summer,
Hugo, Affinity, Beauty, and others. The filly by Lacydes,
Woodbine filly, and Trumpeter filly left Jacob 'Watson's
on Tuesday, for Winter's ~to be trained. Bete Noir goes
on to Windsor, to run there, from Ascot.

FYFIELD.—In the Windsor Handicap, Skipjack is en-
gaged. Ile is well, and with his light weight ought to
win. He is well in for the Eton Handicap, as also Vic-
tress, but the la-t-named is away at Ascot.
MIDDLEHAM.—The following horses have been doing
work the last few days :—Osborne's King's Cross, Pom-
fret, Weatherstar, Minaret, and his two year olds; Briggs's
Bracken, Pride of Erin, Sweetmeat, La Charantonne,
Duchess of Athol, Mysotis, Sunshade, Canon, Lord Hare-
wood, Terror, and Fortunio ; Winter's Mexico, Three per
Cent., Colonel, and Hawthornside ; and Summer's Ho-
nestish. The Dean, Derventio, and Glengarry have come
home from Ascot, so I should say The Dean will not run
at Windsor, and I doubt if anything will go from here ;
but the four and fivo year old fillies out of Miss Sarah
are well, and may be sent. The horse by Young Mel-
bourne is also very well, and not badly in in the Windex.
Handicap.

ceased.
