Abango, the Zulu who killed the Prince, was killed at Ulundi. The Prince's party had been followed before they reached the kraal, and had not the Zulus been seen by the Basutos every mail would have been killed. There is a universal feeling at Pietermaritzburg that the so-called Constitution promulgated for the Transvaal is a direct breach of a promise made by Sir Theophilus Shepstone, and confirmed by Sir Bartle Frere, that the Boers should have free government. It is reported from Zululand that one or more chiefs desire to place themselves and their territory under the direction of John Dunn. It is feared if this idea is extended, and some chiefs desire to shuffle off their responsibility oil others, difficulties may arise. The Zulus generally are said to be dissatisfied with the arrangements made for the future government of the country, and have expressed a preference for white men as rulers'. John Dunn has announced that traders entering his territory must pay a license fee of L 25.

. Bagat and Beaver have left Cape Town, with two well-stocked waggons, on a journey through Africa. Their destination is Suezr. It is estimated the trip will occupy about four years. ' On the subject of missionaries returning to Zululand, Mr. Dunn remarks that he will not prohibit mission work, but place it on a firmer and more useful system than formerly.
