The news from Ladysmith is fairly
encouraging, another Boer gun having
been disabled. On the other hand,
however. the Beers, alert and undis-
couraged. are preparing to mount an
other gun on Surprise Hill, where Gen.
Hunter lately destroyed their Long
Tom.
A message by way of Weenen from
Ladysmith, dated Wednesday, Dec. 81,
says: The Beers are actively bonn
harding the town. One shell struck the
Dalzell and wounding seven lietenants,
Scafe and Kane
A later dispatch. dated Friday Dec.
%, says: All we'll. The Beers have
been firing plugged shells containing
plum pudding and the compliments OF
the season. They are still fortifyng
their position and are evidently deter
mined to make a firm stand.
1t is thought here hat the report that
the Beers are retiring or have retired
already from Colenso merely means
that they are shifting their camp to a
better position. Nevertheless, Gen.
Buffers advance is expected almost

London, Jan. 1.-As the relations of
the German and British governments
are friendly it is not likely that serious

Durham needs, however. to be in close
touch with the admiralty and foreign
office in these troublous times.
The Bundesrath is Il passenger
steamer of the German East African
line and the British foreign Office can
not refuse the request of the directors
at Hamburg for an Immediate inquiry
upon the foreign office here respecting
the seizure.

 H is believed that the name of devil was bestowed on the animals by the convicss, who had learned to look upon them with almost superstitious fear, partly in consequence of their appear. ance. but still more owing to their un- tiring perseverance in following up an enemy 10 the last with what looked like undying hatred.
