The Australian and New Zealand mails via San Francisco, which left Auckland on the 11th October, were delivered here to-day. No confirmation has yet been received of the statement contained in the Standard telegram of the 10th instant that Mopocb, one of the leading chiefs in the Lydenburg district of the Transvaal, had declared war against the Boers. Intelligence is, however, to hand from Durban (Natal) that the telegraph line between that place and Pretoria ia broken, and no news regarding the reported outbreak of the natives can therefore be obtained.
