The Zulu War

LONDON, May "A Cape Town dis
patch of April 18th SAYS: Dubalmonzie,
who led the attack on Ginglelova, on the
3rd inst, and other chiefs with large
armed following, have protfered sub
mission. Lord Chelmsford promised
them personal safety and the possession
of their cattle, but pending the war they
should be located on British territory.
John Dunn having pledged his word for
their safety, the chiefs are expected in at
once, and everything portends peace.
Meanwhile war operations are actively
proceeding and an advance on King
Kraal seems certain from Col. Woods
direction, whether peace is offered or
not. John Dunn, formerly Cetewayo's
adviser, asserts that Cetewayo's pride is
broken. Before the war he regarded
the British as useful neighbors, but con-
temptible in strength, and partly from
good feeling and partly from incredulity
Of their ability to modest him Cetewayo
refused TO molest us. Now he sees his
mistake and, provided he gets good
terms personally, he will come in. The
universal hope is entertained that the
resignation OF Sir Bartle Freer will not
be accepted, but as regards Lord Chelms-
ford every kindly allowance is made for
his conduct of the war, but public
opinion remains as adverse as ever.

LONDON, May 2.-In the House of
Commons, to-day, Sir Stafford North

ters proceeding in Russia; that it was
not the governments duty to interfere
in the internal affairs OF Russia; that
the action of the government some
years ago, on representations made of
the sufferings OF political prisoners in
Naples, was based upon the treaty OF
Paris, and that there was analogy be-
tween the NeapOlitan affair and the

Hanlan and Hawdon Practicing on the
Tyne.
NEWCASTLE, May 2.-There was
smooth tide to-day, the weather was
dull and cloudy and favorable for prac-
tice. In the morning Hanlan, with
Plaisted, rowed four miles at a good
pace, sculling we'll all the way and show
ing that he has fully recovered from his
late indispositiOn. Hawdon went three
miles at his best speed, led by double
scull boat and Higgins, the ex-cham-
pion. He rowsd well. In the after
noon practice Hanlan again rowed
up the stream as far as Stella.
He then turned and rowed,
without easing, to the Derwent Gut,
about thirty-two strokes all the way, &C.
companied by Plaisted. The latter's
style does not please. Tyneside critics
say he is slovenly. Hawdon was out
late, accompanied by Higgins and Kir-
ton. They rowed from the boathOuse
to the Meadows, then turned and rowed
to Scotswood at three-quarter speed.
The betting remained unchanged and
little doing. Hawdon, after his
hard mornings work, took
land exercise only. Hanlan had
a very long walk, accompanied by Mr..
Bright. At four O'Clock he got ahoat
and took hard pull down stream two
miles, rowing thirly-four strokes several
times. Returning with the tide, he
rowed easy. Hanan says he feels better
to-day than for long time. He weighs
$50 pounds. Hawdon weighs l54 pounds,
but expects TO row two pounds
lighter. In the betting there was
nothing doing during the afternoon.
The Canadians offer six to. four,
but the Hawdonites want seven to four.
Wallace Ross is now at Newcastle. He
has challenged Hanlan and wants a
match Nicholson. Elliot has tried the
American swived rowlocks, and con-
siders them great improvements on the
old style. He will use them in his next
match. Hanlan's new Swaddle &
Winship boat will be launched to-mor-
row. Elliott is training hard.
NEw-CAsTLE-oS-TYNE, May 2.-The
final deposit in the Hawdon-Hanlan
match has been paid. II has been
agreed that the men should be in their
boats to start at lis P. NJ, Monday next.
