Important correspondence relating to the war
In South Africa is published. Lord Chelmsford
writes from Durham on the 9th of February
follows cit is very desirable that Major Gen
eral be sent to South Africa without delay In
June last mentioned privately to the Duke Of
Cambridge that the strain of prolonged anxiety
and exertion was even then telling on
me. What l felt then l feel still
more now. Sir Bartle Frere concurs in this
representation and has pointed out to me that
the officer selected should be fitted to succeed
him in his position OF High Commissioners. In
making this representation l need not assure
you that it will be my earnest desire to carry on
my duties for Her Maicsty's service up to the
fullest extent OF my powers" This letter was
addressed to the Secretary of War and received
BY him on March II.
NOT IN FAVOR OF THE WAR.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach Colonial Secretary
writes to Sir Bartle Frcre on the 10th inst
follows 1.-THE government are unable to find
any evidence Of the urgent necessity which
alone could justify your taking without their
full knowledge and sanction, a course almost
certain to result in war, which had previously
impressed upon you every effort should have
been made to avoid. The government with
great regret adopts the above view. They do
cnrrcnce Of complaint. They have no desire to
withdraw their confidence in the present crisis"
The British government has chartered tho Do
mnon line steamers Ontario and Borussia The
former will sail Oh Friday for the United States,
to take on board 800 mules for Natal. The
latter will embark cavalry at Portsmouth for
South Africa.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, writing to Sir Bartle
Frcre on the goth inst, says:-''Though their
views subject to modification by future
events, the government when it becomes pos
sible to decide upon peace conditions, are ndis-
posed to sanction annexation or any further
interference with the internal affairs of Zulu
than is necessary for securing the safety of the
colonies
LET CANADA ALONE
Tho Daily Nc,rs of yesterday, commenting on
the sentence in the answer of Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, the Colonial Secretary, to John Bright
Thursday night, that ''subiect to treaty obliga-
tions the financial policy of Canada is to be
settled by the Canadian Parliament" says
''The government right enough in thinking
they can do little nothing in the matter.
1t seems out of the question to think of
any interference OF the Crown with the
decisions of the Canadian Legislature. Sir
Michael in his reply to Mr.. Bright admitted that
the Marquis of Lorne's instructions differed from
his predecessors. Lord Lornc was not instructed
to reserve bills imposing dihfercntial duties for
the Queens sanction, but this in no wise inter-
fercs with the powers of reservation and dsal-
lowancc, those powers being fully set forth in
the British North American act of 1867. On
Mr'Bright subsequently asking if this meant that
any proposal to enact difercnta duties must he
submitted to the home government before its
adoption, Sir Michael Hicks Beach said the fiscal
policy of Canada rcstcd-subiect to treaty obi
gations-with the Dominion Parliament"
RUSSIANS IN CENTRAL ASIA.
A despatch to the Daily Nc,rs from Baku,
Russian town the west coast of the Caspian
Sea, dated Thursday, says General Lazarcf will
arrive there in five days for the expedition to
Genital Asia.
PEARS OF ANOTHER FINANCIAL CRISIS DANGER

LONDON, March ~. 1870.
The Pal Mall Gazette says:-"It would lie use
less to remain silent longer respecting the uIi-
easy feeling that exists in the city. To those
who arc accustomed to feel the pulse of Lombard
street and vicinity the aspect presented during
the past week has been such to remind one of
occasions with which we are far from nsttuting
q comparison. Names of institutions of high
standing have been made free with in manner
to alarm those who easily lose their heads. and
rtmors, arising out of very little. perhaps,
have become more and more serious by rcpcti-
ton. We do not mean to deny that there may
be grounds for some uncasincss. Trade gen
orally is notoriousy depressed. The Eastern
trade in particular, has been in collapse for
years Bad business, losses and the lock mp
of capital was, therefore, to be expected and
prepared for But we would remind those
who may be discomposcd by the ruinors,
now too general to be any longer dis
regarded, with what facility, in the
present temper of the public mind n scare can
DC got up. Only two months ago u few people
stopping to talk ut the door of of the great
est of the London joint stock banks actually
caused run upon il. Another point that should
be borne in mind is that disasters that do hap
pen are scarcely ever forcsccn. How many per-
sons heard anything to the dctrimcnt Of the City
OF Glasgow Bank before it closed its doors y
