THE EUSTON SQUARE MYSTERY.  TIIE DEATH OF UMBELINI CONFIRMED. I:I7RRENDER 010 CETEWAYO'S BROTHER. The tpecial correspondent of the Standard teleet aphinen Monday from St. Vincent says The I...fynt arrived here at nine o'clock this morning, having left Simon's Buy on the 28th silt. There ham been no fresh fighting. Lord Chelmsford and Prince Louis Napoleon had left for Kanibula. The death of Umbelini is confirmed. He wan shot in action by Captain Pryor. In addition to Colonel Northey, the Ilestli is announced of Stourton, of the 63rd, and Thirkell of the Roth." --The special correspondent oi the Timr, with the Right Div,sion, writing from the camp on the Inyerani River, says:—" The bngsde moved into layer here from Ginghilovo y, sterday, and to - day Nugwende, Cetewayo's pt agent brother, surrendered with his wives and 50 to lowers, Ile was present at the fight of Isandula, and states that the main, or front, awl the left flank at attack of the Zulu army where beaten and fell back with great loss, until the fire of the white troops sla-kened. The right flank at the same time enterng the camp, the main body was instructed to renew :he attack, which the English were unable to prevent from want of ammunition. This imps, numering 21,000 of the best troops, came by short marchos fiom King's Kraal and concentrated in the vicinity If the English caw, on the the afternoon of Janwiry 21. Nngwende also states that no Zulu force of any size exists at the present moment ; that the army which attacked Lord Chelmsford on the led April is scattered, and that its leader, Dabulematai, has dimippered. It is stated that he also wishes to surrender, but is pzevented fro,' doing so by a regiment sent expressly by the King to ivalch his movements, which is now it, the Ungssa Forest."  After reading the account of the Easton Square mystery, at Bideford, Devon, on Tuesday, the parents of a young woman' named Manned; Debt (not Dodd), came to the conclusion, from the deserip• tion given, that the murdered woman was theii daughter. The parents of Hannah Dobb reside at Bideford, where they keep the Blacksmiths' Anne public-house. Their daughter, who was near thirty yt ass of age, resided at Emden Square, London. Last summer she went on a visit to Bideford, with two children, and then stated that she was mar• tried tea Mr. Bastendorff, of 4, Euston Square, but the children, were not hers. In November last, c man, who gave the name of Baatendorff, went te Bideford, and stayed several days and passed as the husband of Hannah Dobb. A photograi hie likeness of this man is in po.seession of Mrs. Dem, Hannah did not return to Londen in company with her supposed husband, but having lost her ticket was sent back by the railway company without any extra charge; and after her supposed return to Easter Square a telegram Was sent back by Bastendorff eay• ing she had arrived safely. From that day to this ric tidings whatever have been received from Hannah Debt by her parents. Though repeated letters have teen sent to 4, Euston Square, they have invariably been retained through the dead letter office. While home at Bide• ford she stated that on her return to London she was going to Germany with Dr. Bastenderff. a brother of her husband, and her parents naturally supposed she had so gone abroad. They received a letter some , little time after she had returned to London from s person in Euston Square, asking what they should dc with come boxes belonging to Hannah Dobb, who had gone away. Hannah D. Jib was a fine-built woman, with fair complexion, light hair worn in curls, and answered in most particulars to the des- 1 cription given of the mar iered woman. Superin- I tendent Chipman, of the Bideford borough police, has gleaned the above facts and forw trded them to Scot- ' and Yard, with a photographic likeness of the man who passed as Bastendorlf at Bideford. The only point of uncertainty in the matter is whether the !faunal' Dodd, said to he undergoing imprisonment, • e the same woman as Hannah Dobb of Bideford. ' Jim thing seems to be clear, that the can who accompanied the woman to Bideford was not her ' husband. 1  rt. E
