The Globe says:
" The night is past; :duce Havelock
and Otztram fought their way, inch by
inch, through the crooked streets and
alleys of Lucknow, ma such thrill of
exeleement has gone through the na-
tion. The credit for our success rests
with Lord Roberts, as luny as if he
bemself had ridden into Ladysmith.
The sufferings and privatione are over,
and the Ernpire tenders a tribute a
gratitude and admiration to General
While and hes immortal garrison."
'The Bain Mall Gazette says it be-
lieves it is impossible to forecast the
remelt of the relief of Ladysmith on
the duration of the war, "which may
yet cuinainate isia protracted struggle
before Peetoria.'
The Wesrmineter Gazette says: -
"The news this morning obliterates
for the. moment full memory of the
Long and costly and, we fear we must
add, wasteful operation tb'at has gone
before. Thanke to the admirable
strate.gy of Roberts read Michener, the
whole situetion is revolutionized."
