REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.

(SUFFLED TO THE "China_Mail.”] (Per E. & A. & O, Telegraph Colo- Line.)

LONDON, April 30th, 1879. Advices from Cape Town dated 8th April report the arrival of the Garrison of Ekowe

at Tugela, and that Lord Obelmsford and Staff were going to Durban. The Zulus are said to have occupied Ekove, and Cotewayo has retired beyond the Black Umvoloze! (this word in being repeated.)

These observations have been ang. gested by the remarks that fell from His Excellency in a recent speech spoken when receiving the Deputation on Sun- day Observance. At the conclusion of the address regarding the Memorial, Mr Hennessy referred in a most praise worthy manner to the claims of the Chinese poor, for whom he said nothing had yet been done by the Colony. Now in view of the Governor's tendency to give his heart more play than his ad ministrative discretion should permit, it is possible that his remarks on this occasion may tend to mislead, as the best-meant utterances frequently do. Although ho touobes slightly upon the difficulties which crowd upon the mind firmed. when any system of poor, relief is aug- gested in this peculiarly situated corner of the world, be evidently fails fully to realize the opening which indiscriminate relief would provide for the professional beggara of South China, Mr Hennesy
