News comes to hand to-day of further disturbances in Ireland. A large crowd of people had assembled at a farm at Newbrook near Claremorris, in order to prevent the service of a notice for ejectment of the tenant. A body of police was despatched to the scene of the disturbance, and the people were ordered to disperse. Upon their refusing to do so the police charged with fixed bayonets upon the rioters, several of whom were severely wounded in the struggle which ensued.

Six more Land Leaguers have been arrested in Ireland, and will shortly be placed on their trial. The official report of the disaster met with by a detachment of the 94th Regiment in the Taansvaal almost completely confirms the accounts first received. The detachment was escorting a convoy of supplies, when it was surrounded by the Boers, who summoned tbe British to surrender. Upon the latter lefusing the Boers swept down on them, and 112 officers and men were killed.
