GEN. WOLsELEYs s PLANS,
LONDON, Aug. "A correspondent in
South Africa agrees that tho capture of
Catewayo is all important, because as long as
he is free he will remain the centre of con-
spiracy and mischief. Gen. Wolseley, how
ever, has no intention of pursuing him with
British troops, as the nature of the country
renders such course impracticable. His
policy rather is to stir up neigboring tribes
against the king. Agents have been sent to
in view, and five thousand cattle have been

Catewayo's head. Gen. Wolseley in an ad-
dress to number of chiefs, July 12, inform
territory, but that Catewayo was q fugitive
and could never more be king. Gen. VOL
seley had summoned all native chiefs to
meet him at Ewangwene. fort nine miles
north of the Umlatoosi river, July 10Th, to
hear his final words of settlement. The
chiefs, at meeting July IL, declared the
Zulu nation had now no head. They wished
to have no more black kings, aud said they
woutd prefer John Dunn for king. They
promised to bring all the chiefs of the coast
districts to the Ewangwene meeting. These
tribes, however do not constitute the most
warlike part of the nation. Flying columns
started for Ewsngwene July II to prepare
for the meeting. Gen. Wolseley and staff
will follow.
It is reported from Lunburg that Cete-
wayo, with 1000 followers,is endeavoring to
escape across the northern border to Join
Secocoeri. The authorities are keeping
good lookout for him. John Dunn and
other well-informed parties, think there is
great probability that Cetewayo will be
killed by his followers if he continues to
make trouble. All of the Zulus wounded at
at the battle of Ulundi we're killed by the
native contingent in the empty of the Brit
ish.
SEVERE STORM.
The severest storm for years ragged Satur-
day night. 1t was attended by the fall of
hail stones, some being five inches in circum-
ference. The damage to glass around Lon
don amounts to thousands of pounds ster
ling. In great part of Bedford the hay
crop is completely swept away and many
cattle are drowned. Newmarket and neigh
borhood are flooded. The rainfall in Buck
inghamshire is estimated at seventy tons per
acre. Damages by floods and lightning are
also reported from Cambridge, Norfolk,
Guilford, Lester, Bath and Margate. The
storm was terribly severe in tho valley of
the Thames. Immense injury is done to
the growing crops Tho damageae BY. hail,

THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.
A Cape dispatch says the chief Morosi
has submitted. The present trouble with
Barutos therefore is settled, but much dis
still exists. It is feared there
will bo severe famine next year in Zulu
land, as it is now seed time and no land is
being sowl,, while much seed has been de-
stroyed and many cattle seized. King Cote
wayo, when leaving the battle field of Ulun-
di, told his chiefs to look to their own safety
and seek terms of peace as beet they could.
His army is broken up, the nation dispersed
and the king fugitive. Zululand will prob
ably be divided into three or four separate
principalities, each under the rule of inde-
pendent mobiles. Cetewayo's brother, Oham,
will receive his own territory under this ar
rangement. Rumors are rife OF impending
trouble in Transvaal. It is feared if colo
nial ministers take energetic measures with
regard to that province an immediate dis
turbancc will ensne. The announcement of
O dispatch of troops and approaching visit
of Sir Garnet Wolseley have probably dis
quieted the Beers.
THE Ex-KuEDIvE's PLUNDER.
In the house of commons to day, tho
chancellor of ths exchequer, replying to
question whether the ex-khedive piundered
Egypt of property worth six millions on his
departure, said he had heard unofficially that
the ex-khedivo had ordered large amount
of property aboard his yacht, but the govern
ment had no official knowledge Of the ma
ture or amount of property.
GARIBALDIs SCHEME.
LONDON, Aug. A dispatch from Rome

for diverting the course of the river Po. He
would have the river communicate in a
straight line with Milan, thence by north
erly bend with Turin, and by deepening its
bed would secure direct communication
with the sea.
