A most terrific thunder storm passed over this Provinee this morning, continuing from 2 o'clock to 8.30. The lightning was very vivid, and, at intervals, in some places, the heavens appeared as one lurid sheet of tfame, and the frightful roar of the thunder awoke the most slumberous. Heavy rain accompanied the storm. It is feared that much damage is done to the crops.
Tur boy William Doyle, who was missed from his home on Wedaesday, has not been since found. When last seen he was fishing at the end of Tully’s wharf, with two other boys. As there are suspicions of foul play, a diver was employed to go down this afternoon. The water being too muddy, nothing could be done. It is believed by some that he was pitched overboard by one of his companions. — Tir. Reporter.

A PASSEXGER on an English channel steamer jumped overboard recently with the intention of committing suicide. The star- board lifeboat was promptly lowered, but it was steve in as it struck the water, and one of the crew was drowned. The Wreck Com- missioners of the English Government has held an inquiry, and exonerated the captain of the steamboat from blame, as it was proved that the ocenrrence was an accident, due to the manner in which the lifeboat struck the sea. But what would be the decision of an English Cotomissioner if it was proved that to lower a boat from a lake steamer was an impossible feat; that the beats were carried in such a position and fastened in such a fash- ion as to indicate that it was never contem- plated to remove them from their stands ; that, in fact, there was no adequate provision for the safety of passengers ?— Mail.

Zululand.
The ioils have been so swiftly thrown around Cetewayo that the Zulu prediction must be shortly fulfilled that ‘‘the valley of the Umvolosi rivers, the cradle of the Zulu military power is also to be its grave.” The second campaign against the natives is thus sketched by. Dr. Russell :—Between the’ White and lack Umvolosi rivers stretches a tract of broken country most toublesome to civilized troops, with dangerous necks commanded by rugged cliffs, occasional swamp and copious bush. Towards this, under Colonels Harrison Clarke and Baker Russell, are now swiftly moving two col- umns of all arms ; the former starting from Port Durnford, on the right flank of the retreating fragments of Cetewayo’s army, the ether from Rorke’s Drift in its rear. Colonel Clarke,with his headquarters at En- tonjaneni, will cnt off the King and his des- perate followers from all help from the east, and prevent their breaking through into the districts which have already sub- mitted to our rule ; while Colonel Russell, meving with his strong cavalry brigade along the only route by which the Zulus could attempt a raid upon Natal, the old missionaries high road from Rorke’s Drift to Ulundi, will reconnitre towards the Black Umvolosi. Five thousand Swazis are new moving down through the heart of the Zulu country, the central strongholds of Chaka’s fatuous successor, along the Black Umvolosi river to the great Ngome Forest, where some say Cetewayo is now
