The firing last- ed from 5,55 to 7.90 p.m, The Boars were fading a strong sun- set, and tbie seemed to binder their marksmanship. Though they shelled. both the infantry and artillery they hit nobody. The enemy's lose, if any, is unknown. The infantry were within seeing dis- tance of the Boers' trenches. They were wale and deep, and banked with sand. They were 'strongly occupied. BULLER'S ESTIMATED STRENGTH'. The forces under Gen. Buller's com- mand, including Gen. White's forces, at Ladysmith, number nearly 40,000 men. The .following is the list of gener- als working conjointly in the move- ment -foe the relief of Ladysmith:— Natal Field •Farce, Ladysmith. Fourth Division—General Sir George White commanding.

Including the eight battalions of the Fifth Dive ianhe bas now six brigades, numbering 24 battalions. Admitting t that each battalion stands only 200 ,s strong, the deficiency of 2,400 under the total war strength of 24,000 is all l but rands up with the large drafts for b the baLtatigne of the Ladysmith gar- t risen. 1 In. this manner Gen.

A despatch from London sayst---1,10- thing can yet be added 10 the brief news orf 'General Warren's success, whteh has brought intense relief to Great Britain. A few speak of the possibilI'by that the British. may be tin_ able to retain what they have so hard- y won' in view, of the "very annoying bell fire" meutioned in General Bal- ers' despatch, end that the hill may ave to be retaken, La, asbuming that he position is permanently held, and hat the Boers are driven from the re- minder of the plateau dominated by $!ion•kop, there is no ill u.ien respec- ng the gravity of the task involved in covering the twelve or fifteen Bailee separating the hill and the Boer lines outside Ladysmith. Tbere ie complete ignorance bere as to' the ability of the Boers to obtainrreinforee- men•ts, and es to whether they' have prepared asecond line of defence. That ignorance prevents any Forecast of the operations. The critics continue to bid thet public to prepare, for a long cas- ualty list, they attaching, the fullest sigaifiranoe to General Buller's intima- tion. No full list ofithe losses in the fighting previous to the attack on Spion kop has yet been received, though each day brings addition's, General Barton's force, which is holding Cbieveley, had a few killed and wounded on January 28, which, indi- cates an engagement which hitherto has not been reported, It, was prob- ably only a reconnaissance, Grand Total , . . 38,800 BOERS SHOOT ENGLISHALEN, A despatch from London, says:— Three ays:Three Englishmen who had received passes authorizing them to remain in the Orange.

A despatch from London says:—The assemblage in Pall Mall outside the War Office, and those privileged to wait in the lobbies, reluctantly dis- persed at midnight, after lbs final word that nothing more would be an- nounced. The morning papers went to press with conjectures and forecasts of all sorts, striving to guess out some- thing front Spion kop.

Nobody here seems to know, not even the War Office, ,what Lord Rob- erts has done with his large reinforce- ments. Six tbousand troops awaited his arrival at Cape Town, and since then 6,000 others have reached there. Militgry critics are all hoping that a good" share of these 12,000 have gone to help Gen. Buller, and they argue that a few day& wait may make him strong enough to overcome, the deadlock, BOER POSITIQN CAPTURED, A despatch from Spearman's Camp Bays:—The field artillery and a few ,howitzers this morning shelled the Boer left from a kopje on the right, the Infantry keeping up a continuous rifle fire from good eoveri The Boers abandoned'tbe summit of the kopje whicb they lead been hold - Ing, and the British then occupied 11:, .Lbe enemy then took shelter behind a stone wall on :the side of the kopje and bold the position for hours.
