CETEWAYO'S VISIT TO ENGLAND.  The captive king in May last wrote the following touch. log letter t) Sir Hercules Hrhinson, urging that las visit to Eagland sLould be hastened.. He says :  "I will no longer believe in the word of the whit) men. Their promises have all been broken, and I shall trust them no more. I shall only believe I am going to England when I am really on my way thitl er. AL xiety like this causes death. . . . lam glad to hear that you, Sir Hercules, sympathise with momn my pre.ent heavy disappointment. I trusted Lord Kimberley as my shield, or a tree to lean against and protect me against my enemies, and reply on my behalf to all questions put about me. He is the great man iu England, and! expect to her. go al things from him. I was myself once& great king, and so was my father, and be never suffered such anxiety as Ido now. If Law found a c 3rps3 soon, you will know I have died of a broken heart. The white man's house towers above the hut of the black man, and the latter looks up to the former for protection. lam afraid to say all that! wish to say now, for fear death might over.ake me—the heart causes a strange and sudden death, I want you, Sir H. Robinson, and the Queen also, to see these words. Chiefs of less consequence than I wa3 have be.yi given their freedom, and how can you kill me with a death like this I want these letters to go to Eng'and, and I shall still go there, too. My visit has already been postponed from month to month, and now it is again %definitely put off. . . . .  _ On the 17th May CA iwayo wrote to the chiefs, urging them not to stir up the Zulu people in his favour; and. writing on the same date to Sir H. Robinson and Sir H. Bolwer, he said :  There appears to be great agitation in Zululand just now. I think it is caused by 'John Dunn' forcing the Zu'us to pay hut tax and many other fees, a strange thing to them, also because he (John Dunn) Coma down ahead of the Zulu deputation and had an interview with you, Sir H. Bulwer. Consequently they (deputation) blame him for their not being received. You know that John Dunn was made a man by me, and a very rich man, too; but now he has acted the traitor to me. He knows it well, and does not desire me return. Do • great thing for me by asking the British Rtaident to allow the Zulus to have interviews with the Natal Government. Tell him t 3 meet all the influential men in the country, and then everything will go well; but, if he will not meet them, and c 'molt them, Zulu matters will net go well. Take bred of what I Fay end give it a trial, and you will awl tvervtlAna go well."  • Mr. S'ort-Li-ter, the dethroned King's custodian, wrote on_thu_lsth M it_ :  "I have iii.:l2.onoLr to Mom you that Cetewayo is most despondent at the intelligence which was c manunigated to him on Saturday, that his visit to Bagland is indefinitely 1101. t pelted. I have never known him so much dej:icti-el. Ile hes 'reen confined to his bed einea Saturday. Yesterday, in the course of conversation, he spoke more than once of suicide, and added that his friends must not be surprised should they at any time hear el his sudden death. In reply, I said touch to cheer him; gradually his spirits seemed to improve, and he inqu rd whether there would be anything to be gained by expressing his thoughts in letters. I replied that any letters he might dictate to his interpreter I should he glad to rorward at once to Government, that they cartainly would do no harm. He, smiling, remarked that letters are now only assegais. It isifound that dictating letters is the 1 -at way to relieve,his mind and keep him occupied—re Mattel* El in3p(aLliCe, esptcially Just now.  I  I
