While on Jh towels in Zululahd, King Dunizulu, fW Bon of Cefcewayo, took a great liking to Einwald for the interest he manifested for his people, and formally ceded'him ; 100,000 acres on both sides of the bay of St Lucia, the king receiving therefor a musical box, and the promise of German intervention in behalf of the Zulus. Einwald is not a land-jobber, nor does he' intend to make any profit out of this extra- • ordinary royal gift, and his first step was to mako tlio tract over id Herr Luderitz, of Angra Pequena, by whom it is being pressed upon the Gorman Government, Herr Einwald isnaw in Londonendeavoring to learn from Lord Derby what' England intends to do in the unfortunate country which has been-..abandoned to anarchy, Enwald is very euipathie in lub denunciation uf England fonts cowardly polioy, or rather Inactivity, in the Trans-,. vaal.
