Tnr FURY OF THE ASSAULT.

On Monday, the 10th inst, two days
after the battle, the rebels threw them
selves upon the English lines in large
masses with a fury and reckless daring
which perhaps exceeded that displayed by
them when they fought Gen. Graham at
Teb. At one time they succeeded in
reaching within thirty yards Of the sides
OF the square, and for o few moments the

rIrR DESERT ROUTE,

The strongly fortified post at Gubat,
which General Stewart holds, is not far
from AIetemneh, place on the Nile, half
way between Berber and Khartoum.
Opposite Gubat Is large island; On whicl.
is plenty Of forage for horses and camels,
easily obtained. So strong is the position
ut Gnbat that It Is confidently asserted 1t
can be held by a small garrison against
any force which the rebels may send to
attack it. The route across the desert
from Gubat to Korti is securely held by
the Engliah. Col. Sir Redvers Butler will
be in command Of this route. He left
kortf'to-day to assume the position. The
news Of Stewart's movements since the
battle of Abu Kiea Wells was brought to
Korti by Captain Pigatt. He left Gubat
with dispatches on Saturday last and
reached Korti this morning, having en-
countered no serious difficulty on the
way.

The BritiGh Meet with Warm Reception,
ii but are victorious.
LONDON, Jan. 2S.-The point where the
battle Of the 10th occurred ain the desert,
about five miles south from Metemneh.
When General Stewart reached that point
he found the enemy hoyering about his
little army on all sides, often within un,
comfortably short range. The rebels had
evidently stationed themselves in the
in the vicinity to await his arrival and
give him battle. When they began to
surround him and press in upon him he
determined to abide the event. He order
ed his men to dismount and form on
Zareba. This was made mainly with sad
dies and baggage, and during the con-
struction, rebel ritlenen drew nearer and
maintained u hot fire from behind ambus-
cades and such hiding places as they
could find among the bushes and high
grass. This fire was very well directed
and was most disastrous in It's effects upon
the British troops. Twelve men were soon
shot dead and forty others stricken down
with ugly wounds.

TWO JOURNALISTS KILLED.

I Amongithe first killed were Mr.. Cam
eron, special correspondent Of the London
Standard, and Mr.. Herberts, special cor
respondent OF. the London PoS.
General Stewart was one OF the very
.flrstStobs Wounded. He was shot in the
thigh. When he was shot the work of
making the redoubtswas about completed,
and the army had been put in motion to
form its battle array. This was hollow
square. The square was formed in the
following order: In the front the Naval
brigade. and Grcnadier Guards; on the
right flank, the Coldatream Guards and
Scot Gpards;. on the left flank, the
mounted infantry, and on the rear the
Sussex regiment and the heavy camel's
corps Z
As soon as completed the square ad-
vanced undef'a steady ambush fire at q
distance OF two miles. At this point the
enemy began to move upon the square in
two large echelons. These were directed
against the British right front, which
stood UNNAMED. During the rebel charge
the English troops forming, assailed the
front and delivered terrific fire aimed
right at tie enemy's middle, moving
down men in such heaps that they formed
an actual obstacle anlinterferred SO seri-
ously with the eyenness necessary TO the
success OF the onslaught that its centre
line was brought to a standstill about
sixtyyarfisl from the British front line.

rebels during the whole day is estimated

The Lffeless Body of a Suicide
 Found fin an Open Lot in Bridge
 port.
 MT. George Smith of Nichol street, Bridge port, while on his way to meat market at about o'clock yesterday morning saw man stretched out under the trees in vacant lot near Barr's block. Supposing the man was intoxicated he tried to rouse him to send him home, but found that he was cold and lifeless. In the right temple vas hole evil dently made by bullet and around the aper- ture the blood which had oozed out had dried in clots. One hand and arm had fallen across the breast and rested under the edge of the coat and lying on the ground few inches from the hand was new revolver of g calibre with six chambers, one of which was empty. The weapon had without doubt fallen from the fingers after the fa- tai shot was fired. Help was obtained and the dead man removed to the morgue. The medical examiner had no doubt that deceased took his own life. A lady living near heard pistol fired the night before at Il o'clock, and it is probable that the deceased took his life at that time. During the day man named O'Donnell called at the morgue and identified the dead man as his brother Charles and went home and found his broth CT Charles alive. Other persons made the same mistake. At last accounts the deceased had not been recognized.
