A despaluh from the London Daily News from 'Ledysmith, reports that Gen. l3uller'0 force is now ready to ad -1 vance after a much-needed rest, but its future employment is unknown. Some readjustment of the commands is being arranged, and, according to the Standard's correspondent, Generali White is going to Stornfberg, while Gen. Hunter will be 'given command of the tenth division. Gen. White and Gen.Hunter, by the way, were unable tseattend the reception to the Govern., or of Natal owing to intlteposition. Col. Ward, whom Gen. White the other day described as the best com- missariat offioar since Moses, will join Gen, Roberts, The naval brigade, ,with the guns that saved Ladysmith, has gone south. Repairs to the railway, as far as Colenso ere nearly completed, It is expected that passenger traffics will be resumed on Saturday, but it will take som., time to complete the temporary bridge across :the Tugela river.

A despatch ,from' London, Wednes- day, says;-Z,ord Roberts still pauses la the neighborhood of Osfontein, while stores, remounts, and fresh troops stream toward lhim from the Calle. The doers seemingly are pur- suing the course oommond.ed by the strategists, and are concentrating to r'esiet the Britishtonin army. Tho lowest estimate of their numbers gives the Boers from 8,010 to 10,000 men, with smaller bodies moving north and south of the British lines, Each army is on both aides of the lllodder river. Although the Boers Lave mounted eight guns on the tops of kopjes and, appear to be too Lar away for inspection, the British scouts report that they are diligently using pick and shovel. Military opinion is. that their present position merely screens more easily the defended ones deeper in the region.' None o1.

But it is net necessary to believe that they were actually pre- sent at the feast. Jesus was the can- ter of a great and continually chang- ing crowd; everything he did was openly remarked upon and nritic'ised. They said unto his disciples. Compare Matthew. 22, 40.

A special from Molten(' says that the British occupied Burgheredorp unop- posed last night. e Beyond the facts that the Boers have withdrawn north of the Orange river at Norval's pont, and that Gen. Gat- aore has occupied .Burghersdorp, there is little news from that district, and nothing has been received enabling judgment to be, formed as' to the pro- bability of the British oroesing the river. It will be seen that the Boer reports claim that they have repulsed •the British. Nothing has been heard from Gen. Brabant for two or three days. Gen. Gatacer's headquarters is now at Stormberg.
