It is more than possible that, having a knowledge of Cetewayo's fate before him, Secoceni will at once submit, and that without further fight ing peace in the Northern Transvaal Border will be restored. The destruction of the Zulu power and the submission of Seco ceni will remove two ereat obstacles to the acquiescence by the Boers in the annexationtof their country, and it is hoped that they^willsee the wisdom of abstain ing from even riissive resistance to authority. It is pretty generally reported that the Wakerstrobin Boers will forcibly oppose the trial of an influential member of their class who assaulted the deputy high sheriff while levying for the amount of taxes which the farmer had refused to pay. The telegrams from the Transvaal are too often biassed, the English section being quite as great sinners in this respect as the Dutch, and the rumours telegraphed to Cape Town are pro bably mere surmises. Colonel Harrison, the newly-appointed commandant of the Transvaal, has gone to the scene of the Secoceni campaign, and1 some of the 80th Dragoons and Scots Fusiliers are to go on to Pretoria, in case their services may be required. It is officially announced that the Amatonga King has informed the British vice-consul at Lorenzo Marques that several thousand head of cattle had been sent to him by the Zulu King, but he had re turned them with an intimation that be ■would oppose any attempt to cross his bor ders as" he was friendly to the British. "With the Amatongas and Swarnis hostile, and Colonel Villiers with his force cutting oil his retreat to the northwest, Cetewayo was completely hemmed id, and thenorthem chief induced to surrrender. The son of Sirayo, whose delivery to the Natal authori ties was demanded by Sir Bartle Frere's ul timatum, and another of the king's brothers, have surrendered, bringing with them an immense herd of the king's cattle, a number of guns, and 70 oxen captnrcd at Isandula. A correspondent of the " Mercury" at Derby says the Boers are very hostile, and swear by all holy things that if they do not get the Transvaal back again they will not leave an Englishman in it alive.
