THE ZULU TROUBLE.
The Zulus Repulsed.-NOble Conduct Of
the Troops.
LARGE REINFORCENENTS For THE
BRITISH

LONDON, February Il. Later kilograms
from Madeira give news from PETER Noritz-
burga, that at nine o'clock the morning of
the 9th of January, Chelmsford was at the
Maritzburg conference with Bartle Freer.
All quiet AT the front. and the feeling is much
calmcr.
The Zulus were repulsed from the fort on
the tower Tugsla.
The report that Chelmsford retired upon
llelpmakar, is unfounded.
Captain Sufford and Lieut.. Davies, of the
Natal Contingent, who escaped disaster at
Glen's camp, speak highly of the conduct OF
all engaged, and of the courage and tirmness
of the native contingent, thus dsposing of
reports of mutiny and mas sacre of officers by
native soldiers.
The Times says that probably a brigade
will be despatched from India, to enforce
Chelmsford. The 57th foot leave Columbo
tomorrow, and may be expected at Port d.
Urban, Natal, March 10. In the meantime
Chelmsford has been reinforced by a company
of the SSth regiment of Connauget rangers
from St Helena, and by three hundred men
of the I'd battalion of the 4th, (Kings own
from Cape Town. This will bring his infant
ry force to nearly the same strength as prior
to the disaster

Majority for city, 240.

MAJORITY Tor city, ZiO.
The advocates for the city may well con-
graduate themselves in view of the result as
above stated; especially after the desperate
attempt at late hour on Saturday, on the
part of some anonymous singer of statistics,
to influence voters in favor of a town by an
array of figures and random stat .mcnts that
might seem appalling TO those unacquainted
with the financial history of our city and other
localities referred to. The document proved
altogether 'too unanimous" and carried
with it its own antidote-proving a complete
"boomcrang" to spcak-and no doubt
contributing to swell the city vote to graft
flying extent. Now that this question is so
decisively settled, our citizens will no doubt
endeavor to select their best men for the va
rious positions in our city government and
work together unitcdly for the continued adj
vancement of our material moral and social
prosperity.
During the evening the boys INDUCED in Il
sort of 9TH of July celebration. giving the old
cannon an airing, accompanied by the ringing
of bells, illumination and general jOllifica-
tions usual on such occasions. Our Cornet
Band also parad,d our streets. dispensing
their most enchanting notes of gladncss and
appreciation of the result.
