Melbourne, April 16.. Arrived—Siam. She brings a fuller account of the Isandula disaster. It is stated that the Zulus were marching in regular order to invade Natal, when they encountered Glynn's columns, which kept the Zulus at bay for several hours. Ammunition failed, and the Zulus advanced with yells. A fearful struggle ensued; the Zulus hurled the corpses of their dead comrades at the British bayonets, thus overcoming resistance. The British were literally bewn down, not a living white escaping with his life. The losses of the Imperial array were 786 men 51 officers, Col6nial force 110 whites 21 officers. The health of the remainder of Glynn's column is bad, owing to privation and exposnre. Sailed—Tararua.
