Guitcou last Sunday evening, in a
more cowardly manner than was bis
attempt to take the life of the Presi-
dent, for icing placed there to protect
the prisoner from mob violence, be
fired at him through bis prison bars
while he was totally helpless to de-.
fend himself or escape from his muir
derous assault. The ball grazed bis
head and penetrated his coat that was
hanging on the wall behind him. The
overzealous soldier surrendered him
self and was placed in arrest by bis
captain. His excuse for the act was
that be was tired OF being hauled over
cobble stones to the Jail to guard the
prisoner. He ought to be sen, to the
frontier, to endure hardsbips aud be
shot at by Apaches, and be would
soon learn that ruling over cobble
Stones is luxury in which bis fellow
soldiers would delight to indulge.

Notwithstanding the favorable reports,

Durham, Natal, 21.-The report of a

London, 22-Sir Michael Hicks Beach
will, on Monday. move that in the
opinion of the House the course pursued
by government in regard to the rising in
Tranxvaal, which, so far as yet explained
to Parliament, has resulted in the loss of
valuable lives, without vindicstiug the
authority of the crown, is frsught with
danger to the future peace and safety Of
Her Msjesty's dominions il South Africa,
and fails to provide for the fulflIment of
the obligations contracted by England
towards European settlers and natives Of
TFsnsvssl.
Rathbone, liberal, will move 81
amendment as follows: That the House,
believing that the continuance Of the war
in Trsnsyaal would not have advanced
honor or interests, approves the steps
taken by government, to effect pesce-
ful settlement and feels confident that
every care will be taken to guard the
Interests of natives and promote harmony
and good will among various races of
South Africs.
