I Nicholson's Nek, or ome rxitlon near
Nicholson s Nek, thus turning the en
emy's right flank.
"The main advance was successfully
carried out, the obJecUve attack being
found evacuated. An artillery duel
which ensued between cur fltld bat
teries and tho enemy' guns Is under
stood to have caused heavy loss to the
enemy. Th reconnolssance forced the
enen y to fully disclose his position, and
after a strong counter attack on our
right Infantry, the brigade and cavalry
had been repulsed. The troops were
lowly withdrawn to camp, pickets be

gagement the naval contingent under
Captain Lambler came into action and

The circumstances which attended
the movement of Carlton's corumn are

received, the column appears to have,

Apart from White's statement that
the losses are very numerous, there Is
nothing to indicate the extent of them
except the vague report that the sol
dier who brought the lews to Lady
smith said the British dead and wound
ed were lyliiR in he,jps and that hun
dreds needed doctors. Thl", however,
Is hardly borne out by the long list of
captured officers.
The concluding senltei.ee In White's
dispatch relative to the safety of Lady
smith was received here with a certain
reserve, in view of the fact that similar
official assurances were given recently
at Dundee, and Glencoe. There Is In
tense anxloty for news of the renewed
attack, which 'is not mentioned In the
dispatches.
The Standard sums up the feeling of
the nation! saying:
"From the United States and our col
onies alone wj hear a volce of friendly
sorrow and encouragement. But that
sufTces; all others are welcome to con
gratulate themselves over the misfor
