Times from Durbar at that a large
torcc. of, Boers occapied . H ledelberjr on
the 16th- inst. and established a trov
ernment nnder Krnjrer. The inhabitants
were forbidden to quit the town without
a pass. The losses of the Bhsuios in
their figbt witk the patrolling column
from Mafteteng were the heaviest yet
inflicted. . ' .
The News in its leading article says:
The telegram from Pietermaritzbnrg
discloses the fact that a state of war ex
ist in the Transvaal, and that the re
sources ef England are now apparently
pledged to the task of subjugating the
Dutch Boers. There are only 8,000
whites capable of bearing arms in the
Transvaal, and of these 5.000 have
ranged I themselves under the banner, of
the republic at Heidelberg. We may
dismiss as altogether uncorroborated the
rumor of the defeat of the Burghers by
the Pondos. The rebellion of the Boers
can hardly fail to encourage the Basutoa
to greater resistance."
The Times, in a leading editorial arti
cle this morning, says: ".Besides ine
dragging war in Basuto-land, to which
thft Colonial Government may1 have at
mr mnmpnt. in confess itself unequal, we

Death of Mr Pnteiray.
Mr. Sylvester Petteway, ho was
stricken with paralysis while on dnty
two weeks ago to-morrow, died early this
morning and will be interred to-morrow
afternoon. Sicce the stroke fell upon
him he has been almost entirely uncon
scious, only arousing to a partial con
sciousness. The entire right side of his
body was paralyzed, and although every
expedient of skill and care was brought
into requisition,yet no relief could be
found. Mr; Pettewav was a native of
Wilmington and was 53 years old.
