The British casualties were sev- en killed and thirteen wounded, and thirteen men were taken prisoners.

The strikers, however, succeed- ed in preventing this. There are some 250 men around the mill this morning preventing anything going in or out. The result is, that being unable to get the coal in, the portion of the works known as the bleachery has been entirely closed, and the employee are consequently thrown out. DON'T \VANT \VORK.

Only a slow trade was done in stockp- ers, at unchanged prices. There is an enquiry for good feeders, but for inferior stuff the trade is quiet.

For cattle the market was a dull one, buyers would not pay the prices asked, and sellers preferred to hold their stuff and see what the Friday market may bring forth. A despatch from Hoopstad, Orange River Colony, says Gen. Settle’s col- umn is doing a great deal towards pacifying the disturbed district in that neighbourhood. The column halted at night recently, and the rear-guard was attacked by the Boers, who pour- ed in a heavy rifle fire. The Boers crept up over the sand, and were not heard until they poured in several volleys. The British had twenty wounded.
