Governor. This measure amends the
existing laws so as not to exempt from

fault with the title of the bill ana
thought the provision cXempting the
Norfolk county ferry from taxation was
repugnant 10 the Constitution, as that
ferry was leased out TO private parties.
Alr. Jeffrics pointed out the fact that
the Norfolk ferry was already exempt
from taxation. and his proposed amend

the bill would leave the ferry exempt
from taxation, while many schools and

BULLER'S STATEMENT.
London, Jan. 31.-When the nation
had almost resigned itself to the fall
OF Ladysmith there comes from all
quarters to-day an indication that Gem
eral Butler will make another attempt
to relieve the besieged place.
If the Daily Mails report of General
Buffers statement that he hoped TO be
In Ladysmith within week. could be
implicitly relied on. news Of further Sc
rious fighting would be expected short
~. But the papers are foath to believe
what the st. James Gazette character
ICES as understandable boastinG," if
true. Moreover the War Office throws
cold water on the dispatch this after
noon by issuing statement that it has
no news coniirmatory of such Il moo
as General Buffers reported speech in
dicatcS. vet to-day's dispatches from
Ladysmith and Cape Town give a
strong impression that there is some
thing more than a rumor in all these
reports. So. while all definite opinion
nEst await further news, il does not
seem ut all UNLIKELY that another des-
perate effort will be made to slccor
General White.
LYTTLETON'S WHEREABOUTS.
The possibility Of General Butler
making another dash appears to de-
pend greatly on the exact position of
General Lyttleton's brigade. Beyond
thc understanding that II is on tho
north side of the Tugela river every
thing is matter OF supposition. 1t
VIII easily be seen that if General Tyt-
Teton still holds tho drifts on the north
side General Butler retains the omen
inss, aud might attempt another adj
Vance by way of PotgIcter's or some
neiahboring drift But the vagueness.
