Tan news received by cable to-day, that hostilities have been commenced against the Zulus, is of very serious importance. Few people take much interest in South African politics, and consequently the gravity of the struggle on which the British forces are now entering is scarce ly appreciated. Zululand is an extensive country, perhaps thres hundred miles in length and two hundred in breadth, on the east coast of South Africa. It is bounded on the south by the British- Colony of Natal, and on the west by the Transvaal ; in fact it intervenes between this country and the sea. Great Britain annexed the Transvaal in April 1877 because a chieftain, subject to the Zalz king against whom we now appear to have declared war, had proved too strong for the Dutch republio in question, and the excitement and triumph thus provoked | Zulus, amongst the native tribes in that part of the world were, menacing the well-being
