THE 'WAE.The 'Standard' correspondent. in
Natal estimates that tho Boer casual
ties in the battle near Colenso totalled
2,000. Renter's Agency states that
the enemy admit that if theshelling
-
by the British guns had been con
tinued much longer they would have
been compelled to beat a retreat
The havoc wrought by lyddite shells
was terrific. The Boers' most be
credited- with having gained possession of the ten abandoned
British guns. Colonel Long,
however, who commanded the artil
lery, docs not appear to hare been
specially blameworthy for the dis
aster. Like other commanders, he
was drawn into a trap by the wily
Boer sharpshooters. Twenty-oneofficers and 311 men' surrendered
after a heroic straggle, and the
wounded among them were per
mitted to return to the British
camp.? A sortie from Ladysmith on
Monday last resulted in six Britishers
being slain and fifteen wounded. It
is stated that Ladysmith has still
three months' food supplies. About
5,300 troops, forming half of the 3th
Infantry Division, which was placed
under Sir Charles Warren, are going
to Natal to reinforce General Buller's
army at Chieveley. Many hightitled personages aro joining the
Imperial Yeomanry for active, ser
vice. Cardinal Vaughan, Metropoli
tan of England, has directed that
public united supplications should be
made in the Roman Catholic Churches
for the Epeedy success of British
arms.

MELBOURNE. December 24.
The intercolonial cricket match betweenVictoria and New South Wales was 'com-
menced on Saturday on the MelbournePrw»lrf»f.wfvimu4 .TIia v?at}tf.r \rfiif*h had
promised to be intensely bot, cooled on be
fore noou, but the attendance was only
moderate. Both teams being strong in
butting a good deal depended on the toss,
for it was generally recognised that the
bide that batted first bad tlie best chanceof winning the match. Gregory was suc
cessful in the spin of the coin, and decidtd
t;; bai. Trumper and Donnin were sent
in to oppote the bowling of Collins and
Trumbk-. Careful play marked the openingovers, yet 25 runs ?were nude in 15 minutes.
Then Donnan knocked Collins for 4,
and Trumper got at him in the Rime way
c bit later. It took thirty-two rainut&s to
ccmpletc the fiwt hall-century. WhenDonnan had road a 17 he might have beenran out. but Tnimblc threw to the wrong
end. Lnver. at 60, replaced Collins, who
had bowled 9 overs for 42 runs. Trumpergot the new bowler clean away for 4, and
shortly after bis record showed 53 run* in
that number of minutes. Soon oiur he hit
one back to Trumble. w'jo took it
cleverly low down. 1— ;-/— 89.
Trumper diil not give a chance.
Noble came in, and he and Dannan batted
carefully till luncheon time. The score -was
then 1 lor 94; Douoaii 33, XoWe 4. . Luver
and Trumble still handled the leather after
luncheon, ami. Noble livened the play bydrivinjr the tim-named to the boundary,and lifting Trumble to leg for another 4.
Exactly eighty-five minutes from the start
the first century to'1 uP- Noble continuedto punish leaver. Donnan, with 41 on his
slate, gave a sharp chance off Trumble to
Rota r.t the wickcU, but it was missed,and Donnan's trratitudc was cxpressid in a
stroke for 4. Xoble continued to score well,
and a.t 142 Warne replaced Lover, who hadsent along 00 balls for 43 runs, in two
hourj 130 runs had been scored._
At 168
Layer retired in favour of Collins, but
Noble, still scoring fre'siy. p;isscd Donnan.
Bowling changes were tried «*ith little
effect, and Donnan played with greater
freedom than usual. Jurt on the stroke of
4 Ross took Donnan off Bruce at thewickets. 2—74—198. The retiring butnnanlul fi fours. After the adjournment Mackenzie joined Noble. Graham missed thenewcomer at extra mid-on When he hadmnde A- .Slow ylay followed owing to the
defective light. Mackenzie at 18 played one
back to Trumble, who missed a ridiculously
ecsy chance. Huns came steadily, deputethe fact that Lavcr reHwed TrumWe andthai Bruce gave way lo Warne. After close
on thro'? hours* fine battiris Noble reacted
his century. Mackenzie's play improved,and the third hundred soon ap|icured,Noble hitting Laver dean out of tli-- nlayin^-grcund. At 303 Worrall replacedWarae, and in his first over 'Noble was
splendidly caught one-handed by Laver at
point off a hard cut. 3—122—303. Noble*'
Koore imiuded 9 fours and 1 five. Gre
gory, who joined Mackenzie, was warnrry
welcomed, and steady play followed till the
drawinK of stunins. The total was 321 for
3 wickets; Mackenzie 52, .Gregory 13.

'THE REGISTER' SHILvLING WAR FUND.
FOR. THE HELP OF THE SUFFER
ING.
22,000 Shillings,
Already 'The Register*' Shilling
Fund lias established a record as the
inost enthusiastically popular, and the.
most brilliantly successful, ever start
ed in South Australia. The zeal with
which it bas bceu taken up by a loyal
and patriotic public may be estimated
from the fact tbat the list of subscrip
tions printed below* includes only those
received by us since 'The- Register**
was published on Saturday. All tbe
money, of course, will bo banded to the
Treasurer of the Mayor's Fund.
Where it is Indicated that the sub
scriptions arc from children they will
be acknowledged under ''The Chil
dren's Fund.'
A SUGGESTION.
Tlie following letter, from ''Sym-
pathy,' Tort W.ikefieM, is only one
.oi a number of rotnewhat similar
communication? whicii we have re
ceived:— 'My children, Alice and.
Harry, would. like to make a. house
to-hou?e collection in aid of The
Register* Shillmjc .Fund. Will you
seed the necessary authority; and,
if you have them, collecting cards!*'
We take the opportunity- of ex
plaining tbat in this matter we
'have thought it best to suggest that
?small committees should be formed
in cuch town, and the Chairman.
Secretary, and Treasurer of each of
theac could issue and keep a recordof properly signed sheets or books.
After the collectwn,. these could be.
sent by the committee to 'The Re- .
jpstcr.'' Office, .with . the. subserip.' tions, and. we shall be happy to
acknowledge in this column all the
sums thus forwarded to to us, with
the names of the donors.'~

TENDER-HEARTED CHILDREN.
The little patient* at the Ciuldren s Hos
pital have subscribed on their own account
to the Children's Patriotic Fund 4s. It
decs not sound much, but it .means a gooddeal when you transaie it into pence ano
halfpence.. They began it in the boys .
ward. One boy gave 8d., and another 3d.
A tiny boy of four years in the corner hadhis penny ready, too, but the nurae did
not take it. But all that night the pre
cious penny was kept ready, reposing safely
under the pillow whereon his curly head
rested, and nest day lie rtill persisted in
his wish to give it. so the bos tus broueht
up,' and tlie p?nny popped in, and that
made the first selling. Then there was tbe
boy who had a penny and a halfpenny, and
gave tihem lioth. and the comparativelyrich boy with 101d., who also (rave all hehad. and the little girl
who -received 5*. for
a Christmas tax, and insisted on giving
one 'to the soldiers,' aud the three three
penny bits from the diphtheria ward.That was how it came in. It ww given
freely. The children had heard of the poorsoldiers who were -wounded, and knowingsomething of what it is to be ill (though,
truly, they see the bright side of it) theywanted to help. Not satisfied with this,
two or three of the older boys who could
move about started a collection on Satur
day, and did very well. But the few shil
lings so freely SU'd mean morc tnan their
face value.

fine overture- to ?f'Nabucodonosor' served
to. show the full effect* of tbe combinationto advantage,
? and a transcription of
Stephen Adams's familiar song, '''Phc HolyCity,' yras done full justice to, the cornet
*olo being |-layed with, taste and skill byMr. \\\ Heath.. A selection from. Weber'sMass in G waigrtnUy appreciated, and the

THE BATTLE AT COLENSO.
THE ENEMY'S LOSSES.
London, December 23, 3 p.m.
[BY SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.]'
.[Received December 24, 11 p.m.J._
Details which, arc arming descrip
tive of the battle near Colenso
on Friday. December 13, show that
all the' British trocos tnzaecd behaved
with conspicuous gallantry, although tncywere exposed at times to a withering fire.
The presence of the Boer sharpshootersnear the banks of the Tuge!a River -iras
quito unsuspected, owing to *'bc thorough
ness with, which the men had. concealed
themselves. After .the enemy had killed or
wounded many of Colonel Long's artillery
men and their horses the-British guns -were
still manipulated, and the fight -with them
was continued with effect for an hour and
a half — until the ammunition was exhaust
ed— when -the gunners took refnge in a
donga, awaiting the arrival of fresh thargca
and shells. .
Companies of the 2nd Battalion- Devon-
shire Regiment, 2nd Battalion'; Royal Scots
Fusiliers, .and the 2nd Battalion .Queen's
(Royal: West'Surrey) Regimentjriad.c heroic
efforts to support the guns and save them
from, capture, but were surrounded by an
overwhelming body of Boers. The British
infantry1 fought like lions,-but evenfciafly
were overpowered, and 21 officers and 311
men surrendered. The Boers allowed the
wounded to return to- the British camp.
it was stated yesterday tki* the Boers in
their account of the battle had mentioned
the abandonment 'of -tea guns by the Bri
tish, and that two of thtm had' been cap
tured. To-day another telegram from Natal
confirms the report of several war corre
spondents that all of the guns have fallen
into the enemy's hands.
Londou, December 23, 5.25 p.m.
The correspondent of the 'Standard' es
timates -that in the battle at Colenso the
Boer losses far exceeded those sustained
by General Buller's force. He says that the
enemy's trenches were full of dead, who
irad fallni victims to the accurate aiming
of the British, aiifllery and the awful explo
sions of lyddite shells. As soon as tie Boers
revealed their whereabout* the Royal Field
Artillery and the Naval Brigade began a
work of terrible carnage.
It is certain that the Boers' losses would
iiave been much heavier had it not been for
their using smokeless powder. General Bul
ler, indeed, attributes his reverse largely
to tbe fact that h:» artillery found it im
pos?ible to locate the enemy's biggcjfa guns,
whicii were placed under Grobler's Kloof,
owing to the fact that no smoke arose from
them when they discharged a missile.
The enemy's taetiea were remarkably well
carried out.-. General Buller'u rcouU were
allowed .to go close to -the Boers' trenches
without molestation, the concealed sharp
shooters, lying low] and reserving their 4iail
of Mauser bulkts until i)ae British infantry,
who had advanced in column of route, were
within clo-'e range.'
-
Londou, . December 24, 6.50 a.m.
A Reuter's message from Natal states
that the Boers have admitted that if the
shelling from the British artillerj- on the
banks of tbe Tugela River had been much
longer continued on the 15th inst. they
would have been compelled -to beat a re
treat. They confess that tho. lyddite shells
did tremendous havoc in many of their
trenches.

about 700 men'and youths from all liranchf/i
of the Islington Department were as^rabl
cd.aud io* an hour the feehnss of patriotism ''which had been pent up in the hearth
of -the men were allowed to umert them
wives. Never were the National Aiillicmand other patriotic songs rendered moru
vigorously lhau by tliat large body of- work-ers, and the enthusiasm was contagious; forthe dignity of office did nut prevent -ine
members of the Uovcniuient aiid the Cominisaioncr from joining heartily in tncchoruso: The Locomotive Band accompanied the singing, and the brass instrument.*
and the voices of men and boys vied witn
each other in a great outburst of patriotism. Programmes' of the procecdiugH Ladliecn printed containing the words of
'Soldiers of the Queen' and the 'Sour of

this inscription:—'In honour of the British soldiers who arc
in South Africa; wishing them a merry
Christmas, a happy new year, and a natc

Mr. Roberts, Locomotive Engineer, sUttJthat they had met together to express their
feelings of loyalty to Her Majesty thu
Queen and to the old mother country in tliii
anxious period of her history. The people
throughout the eolepy would, be infonne 1
of that action of the men employed at MmIslington Workshops, and no doubt Or*
spirit of patriotism which hail animatedthem would animate others to do likcwirf.
They did net, forget that the imldier* were
fighting for their country apd for the Knplish-speaking race, and he confidently If.
lievcd that they were fighting for liberty.Wherever Englishmen met together theyM'ouM re-wgnisc thai tbis was a just; war.
There was no diversity ofopinion
amongst
the great bulk of the English-speaking race
that Britain had entered into this war l.-r
the purpose of shewing that her sons in t i.o
outlying parts of her Empire should have
pe «tmc liberty and freedom that 'we en
joyed here. Hi- -wait glad to sec that the
Government Irad n*cognised Colonel Gor
don's loyalty, ami had given 4-im pcruiis'nion to co to the war. Directly he iuid re
fi-rred the suggestion of a demonstration io
the Railways Commissioner and the Minis- .
try they had signified their approval .in.i
appreciationof the noble spirit which ii.i.l
animated the men, und whicii 3iad emanated
entirely frcim them. The most gratifying
part of the proceedings was the announce
ment which he hvid to make that the hiIi
scriptioits which had been taken up duringthe past day or two for tlir Patriotic Fundtotalled £51. (Cheers.) Of lhat amount131 had been hunded over to the Treasurerof the fund that morning, and the feilanm

can War broke out, and the operatives in
the large cotton fai-lorics of Lancjtctiirc
were thrown out of work. The mrn in ihi
workshops, even although they Irad beenput on short lime, started a foanigntlysubscriptisn to relieve the distress amonR^tthe cotton ojwra liven. As the youngejl. aii
prentice he was selected to take rhc -uivnrriptions to the representative* of the em

Kultscription* were kepi up for *wn or three
years. He usked the men at Islington to
do something similar. They should nut Imcontented with sending £51 and rav theywould send no more. (Cheers.) lie was
glad to hear the cheers, for it showed tna *
the men agreed with him in the mattir.
(Loud cheers.)
The Commissioner of Public Works, the
