General Warren, has driven back the enemy and obtained possession of the southern crest of tlie high tablelands, extending, from the lino of Acton Holmes and Hougerpost to the western Ladysmith hills, from J.amuary 20 until January 2"> he remained in close contact with the enemy. The enemy, .held a strong position on ranges of small kopjies stretching northwest to southeast across the plateau from Ac- ?.on Holmes through Spoin Koj *o tlie left bank of the Tugela river. The actual position held was (-perfectly tenable, but did not Send itself 10'an advance, as the southern slopes-were mo steep ��� i3iat Warren could not get uu effective artillery position, and the water 'supply was difficult. On January 2?> I assented to .hisjattacking Spion Koj, a large hill���indeed, a mountain���which was evidently the key of the position, but waS far more accessible from the north than the .south. On the night of January 2'A he attacked Spion Koj, but found it very difficult to hold, as -its perimeter���the boundary��� was too large, and water which he had been led to believe exist- ed in this extra dry season, was found to,be very deficient. The crests were held all that day against severe attacks and J jreary shell tire. Our,men fought with great gallantry. General Woodgate, who was in command at' the summit being wounded, the " officer who -succeeded him decided 'on lhe night, of January 24 Lo abandon the position, and did su bel'ore^dawn of January'25. ' New�� York, Jan. -. 2T>: ���While ��� 'little if aiiy- credence is to, be placed in the alarmist dispatch .from London, published by sensational papers inthis city, it is noteworthy that all refer to-a rumor that ��� the committee of ' jiabkmal defense which held a iikoetiaig an London on Saturday liacl decided to order General White to surrender Ladysmith, .e)r to make an effort to cut his that tinii'.had ���> any advantages. I'or a.- !]����� JJoc!"-. nviM have felt thorouyhlv dishe-'aru'ned a. tlieir failure and 1 he tremendous loss which they sustained. Unless Ladysmith'i.s greatly in need of relief, further movements on our part are not expected for some days. The fact that Canada ha.- answered so nobly to the call for volunteers has more than pleased the people and great interest is evinced in their doings. The City of London volunteers leave tomorrow and consequently are the heroes of the hour. Nothing is too good for them, in fact "Tommy Atkins" has made rapid strides in tlie affection of the masses, aud the appearance of a warrior in khaki, and, leggings in the city, almost causes a demonstration. He at any rate must feel a,most important individual. Balfour's late speech on the war has caused much disappointment, and is described as jaunty, flippant aud frivolous, and the most severe condemnations are from his own t most staunch supporters; hardly ' a paper supports il. But this will not effect the position of the government so long as they take ample and speedy measures' of precaution against any contingency which may arise. > get inio what seemed 1o bo an ordinary -> ving hiinir in the center oi a good-sized room, and 1he thing begin.-, to move.

PltOSPKC'J'OU: Dear Sir: y ��� Under instruction of the Hon. Minister of Agriculture another, distribution of sample packages of the best and most productive sorts of cereals, &e'., is now being made from the Cen- tral'Experimental Farm, Ottawa. iThe distribution will consist, as heretofore, of samples of oats, barley,'field, pease, Indian corn and potatoes. Each sample, will weigh three pounds.' The. quality of the seed will be. of the best, the varieties true to name and the packages will be sent free to applicants, through the mail. The object in view is the improvement 'Of the character and quality of the'grain, etc., grown in Canada, an effort widely appreciated, and the choice of varieties to be sent out will be confined to those which have been found to succeed well at the Experimental Farms. , Thcseo samples will be sent only to those who apply personally, lists of names from societies or individuals cannot be considered. Only one sample of one sort can bo sent to each aj^pli- cant. hence if an individual receives a sample of oats he cannot also receive one of wheat or barley. Applications should be addressed to the Director of Ex- perimental Farms,, Ottawa, and may be sent any time before the loth of March, after which date the lists w.ill be closed, so that the samples asked I'or may all be sent out iu good time for sowing. Parties writing will please men- lion the sort of grain they would prefer and should the available stock of the variety named be exhausted, some other good sort will be sent iu its place. Letters may be sent to the Experimental Farm free of postage. Wm. SAUNDERS. Director Experimental Farms. Ottawa. January 22nd. HKld. The Strathcona Horse. Canada is profoundly impressing the British public. ��The Times says: "How immense is the .reserve strength on which England in a just cause can draw, is strikingly revealed in Lord Strathcona's munificent offer. ., It comes from one who is at once a Canadian citizen-and a British peer." It adds: ,'"There are not many countries in the world where individual citizens are found able to prove their patriotism on so splendid a scale: Such an offering to the common cause of the Empire would, have been welcomer-from,any quarter, but it is doubly welcome from the representative of'the 'greatest self-governing colony." ��� " Nobility to the Front. i , > Among the prominent Englishmen who have recently* volunteered for service in the war against the Boers,'ar,e the Duke of Marlborough,, who will fur- nish one hundred and fifty men and horses: the Earl of War- wick, a rich ,peeiv. who owns Warwick Castle und other famous residences: the Earl of Dudley, whose great fortune consists in part of coal' and iron mines: the" Earl of Lonsdale, who possesses nearly seventy thousand acres of valuable land,, and i.s an intimate friend of the German emperor: and England's premier duke, the Duke of Norfolk-, who is postmaster-general and by no means a young man (he was,bornMii 1847). The Duke of Norfolk's .position in the cabinet, and his tremendous business, to say nothing of his power as lay head of the Catholic church in England, will probably prevent the acceptance of his offer. i Aft or ;i < 'olel Orivo u tcj.t.-pootiful (if l'liin-lvilleii" mixed with u a his- of hot wilier and .-uj;:ir will bo founil a better sM'niiihiiit lliiin whiskey.
