The English are getting a little the
best OF 1t Ia South Africa. Last week
the English forces surrounded General
Cronje and some six or eight thousand
Beers in a valley, and had him so com.
pletely tied up that he could not get
out. He was called on to surrender,
but refused. The English commenced
to drop lyddite shells into the Boer
ranks, and again invited them TO sur
render, and again met with a refusal.
Saturday 1t was reported that Gen.
Cronje and his forces would con-
tinue fg%htingountll all were killed,
which would have been one OF the
most terrible things OF modern
warfare. However, the general
changed his mind. aud Monday
surrendered to General Roberts.
When General Roberts reported the
surrender to London he called atten-
ton to the fact that the surrender
was made on the anniversary OF the
fight at Majuha hill. With General
Roberts In command the English seem
TO be doing something 10 the way OF
successful work, and " his good luck,
and good judgment continues he prob
ably will get the better OF the Beers.

London, March 1O.-Queen Victoria's
decision to stay in her own dominions
instead of going to Italy and all the
jubilations in England in consequence
are not entirely due to the causes at
tributed by the press. It is learned that
the Italian government had daily been
growing more nervous as the date of
the queens visit approached and final

that it would not care to accept the re-
sponsibility of the sovereign's safety,
owing to the strong. recrudescence OF

Europe.
Reports from other powers confirmed
the Italian impressions. This apparently

current of the nervousness that Thack-

Trade has revived and shopkeepers.
especially those of the metropolis, look
forward to big business. 1t has long
been a standing grievance that the
queen so seldom visited London but her
present stay is fully atoning for her
past neglect. AS for society in Ireland
it is in a state of hubbub and excite

year. Regardless of politics, the queens
