Incidents of Ills Journey in England.
 Correspondence Daily Telegraph,l
 To Cetewayo his voyage from Cape Town to Plymouth has been pilgrimage of terrors and perplexities. It has unfolded to his un- tutored mind a panorama of undreamed- of wonders-the ship, her network of cabins, her luxurious saloon, her strange movements, the cries of the sailors, and the throbblng of her engines, all affected the Kings mind deeply. Before leaving Cape Town he held the sea in profound admiration. He desired to hold the great waters, he himself phrased it, in the palm of his hands, and to breathe upon it's bosom. Unhappily, the ocean had no such sympathy with Cete- wayo. He had not been long afoat before he felt the change in his position. Cetewayo cried out aloud for the medicine of his tribe. He had been bewitched and he pleaded for the ''doctors'' to come and cast out the fiend. Next he summoned his native attendants to go forth and quiet the waves; but the attendants had themselves passed away to a world of horrors which ad- mitted no obedience to a master, however loved or however feared. The attack, how ever, was of brief duration. In few hours Cetewayo and his followers, if not quite themselves again, were able to take their places at the table, and gratify appetites which from their qualities soon became the talk of the ship and the astonishment of everybody From Cape Town to Madeira the weather. on the whole, was fine. Little by little the King and his suite gained their sea legs, and when Madeira was reached the monarch had regained his admiration for the ocean.
 The King, his cousin, and two councillors messed in the saloon, and occupied table which at their own request was set apart ex- clusively for their use. This arrangement necessarily involved certain degree of isola. tion, which was regretted by many on board
 
 diet. They have learned the use of the knife and fork. although they have not quite accustomed themselves to them. fa- vorite accompaniment of Cetewayo's break fast bottle of whiskey, which he and his companions consumed with their porridge Cetewayo is scrupulously clean. He takes a bath every morning, and Is particular as to the condition of his table equipage. He dresses with all the care that his wardrobe will permit of, and he enjoins strict atten- dance to etiquette, a breach of which by his suite he will not suffer.
 The ex King believes that his visit to Eng land is merely preliminary to his restoration to Zululand, and to that end all his hopes are now being directed. H is never tired of protesting his friendship for our nation, his respect for it's power, and his intention to live at peace with us should he recover his throne. He regards the invasion of his king dom as @ great wrong, for which, however,
  people responsible. He continues to assert with emphasis that the quarrel was not of his seeking, and that if we had left him to bring Secocoeni to reason, he would have saved us the cost and bloodshed of an inva- sion of Basutoland. He has forgiven what he regards as the British wrong done him, but there is still live coal burning in his breast, and this is John Dunn. For him he feels and expresses the most intense loath- ing. The mention of hts name sets the King splitting in ali directions. His charges against Du n are grave, and in speaking of him he says he has two tongues-one which he uses against the ex-King, and the second which he uses for himself In the numerous conver- sations which and others had with him on board the Arab, Cetewayo always adhered to his statement that to the machinations of John Dunn England owed the great war in South Africa, and he himself all the trouble which had fallen upon him. In his own Ian guage he said: John Dunn came to me like mangey dog. I cured him. He received my hospitality and confidence he stole round my heart by affecting the dress and habits of my people he became white Zulu, and was trusted by the Zulus; he betrayed his friends. The Queens advisers at the Cape have listened to John Dunn, and l am now going to ask England to listen to me- I have profound belief in the justice of England. I shall plead my cause before your Queen if I may, or your great Ministers. My enemies may break my heart they shall not break my pride"
 Cetewayo asked how much nearer we had drawn to England, and when he was inform ed he replied: ''As I am glad that we move through the water there come voices to me through the great sea, and they increase my eagerness to see your country" One day showed the King picture of the lombard ment of Alexandria, but he pushed it aside with the remark, II have seen enough of that" meaning that he had seen enough of war. "Give me a bulldog," he cried sudden ly. "I like English bulldogs because they are piucky, and the English not deficient in pluck. D This subject brought me night or two since to talk of Isandula and Rorke s Drift with Umkosana and Umgobozana, whom I visited in their cabin. Both chiefs bore eloquent testimony to the bravery of our men, and Umkosana spoke with glow ing eye of tall Englishman with light hair, who, placing his back against wagon fought like lion, killing seven Zulus with his n hand. Cetewayo said yesterday; 'I like the English ladies because they are clean; I admire them also because of their dress but I would not care for an English wife" The joy of the ex King on beholding Ply | mouth is not easy to describe. When the Aaa6 met the Dur6ara approaching the Cape, Cetewayo cried: "Ah, now I know it is true I going to England" When he beheld \ the woods of Mount Edgcombe he shouted "Ah, they've kept their promise. I am in l England"
 The Kings curiosity may be said to have \ reached its eliminating point when the Ardt \ entered Southampton water. The weathe, | was brilliant, and the scene most charming l Every object-every fort, hospital, yacht and ship-drew from the King an inquiry as l to it's nature and purpose. He expressed 1 himself delighted with the country. Its l beauty exceeded his expectations. 'If, " he said, 'I could only live in country like this | should want for nothing more on earth. ' l Upon obtaining his first glimpse of the Thames
 from Battersea Viaduct, Cetewayo found a new theme of wonder, while the thick smoky atmosphere added to his astonishment and l that of his people. His reception from crowded platforms at Clapham and Kensing ! ton evidently gratified him.
