The T'imes says, editorially, that the Gov- ernment is bouud to send reinforcements without an hour's delay, and spare no ex- pense or effort.

It was known that they. aro woll drilled; that great numnbors are arm- od with breech-londers, and that they could fight conrugeously, Wo now know Lut too well how large a force they can mass at ono point. Sad as the loss of our troops s, still graver i the peril which must arlse with de- foat. ‘The Zulus will be owbitterod and tho coloniats exposed to fresh and formidable dungers, In theso circumstances, the duty of tho Govarnment caunot admit of the slightest doubt, and it iy to send ample refn- forcoment to the Oapo without the needless delay of a siugle hour. It may bo they can be morv quickly sent from tho Mauritius or Indin than from England; but, at all oveuts, vo «ffort and no expenditure must be spared to save the colony from disaster, and tho power of the country from grave injury, It fs mel- ancholy conwolation, meanwhile, that the gallant troops of the Twunty-fourth Regi- ment did thele duty, and died at their posts like Englishmen,” CADINET MEETING CALLED, Summonsen wero {ssued this morning for a Cabinot Council to bo held at 2 this aftsr- noon, to deliborate on tho roverses to the British troops in Zalu land.

The deliveries of home. grown grain ot the conntry warksts have beun considorable, but the condition of En. glish whent is unsntisfactory, Thore were only limited supplies of dry milling corn, which maintained low rates. Innctivity in nearly overy branch of trade coutinucy, The fmports huve been light, but tho searcity of moucy, an entire want of spoculation, and the distrust ocensioned by the numerous fuilures bave reduced tho Brit- ish corn trade to A DEAD LEVEL.

The Amerienn visiblo supply continues unprecedentedly large. The quaulity in view ut the principal gruin centres on tho 1st of February waa 20,375,000 bushels. Tu the face of such largo supplies business has dragged during the week, Buyers held aloof 1n the hope of obtaiuing greater concessions from uellurs, Prices weak nud unchanged.

GOTHARD TUNKEL TO UNITE ORR- MANY AXD ITALY INDEPENDENTLY OF FRANCH AND AUSTRIA. London Times, Jan, 8. A curlous and interesting strugele was brought toun ¢nd some days since i Switzerland, The question whether the subsidy voted some time aro by the Federal Conncllin afd of the 8t Gothard Ratiway and certain kindred projects stivuld be sunctioned or nut was decided by an appeal to the whole people, and out of 853,000 citizens who voted there was & majority of 101, 000 in favor of the scheme. Two-thirds of the whole constituent body took part in the votloge—u fact highly creditable to the poiftical spirit of the Swise people when wo remember that the appeal was declded in the middle of an Alplue winter by ‘men who bad to journcy many miles through the snow to the ballot-boxes. This plcbiscite was carried out under the provision of the Swisa Constitution known as the Referendum. No doubt, the exmmnple of*Bwlitzerland bos once more proved that a plebiscitary vote settles ull atsputes, 'The 8t. Gothard project, which a few montbs ago appeared to be in danger of prema- ture collapse, will now be carrled to its comple- tlou as & national undertaking, and the sectional resistance which was threatened will probably dic out. But it fs to be observed that the rival- rivs for which the Swiss Referendum provides s scttlement are pot st all soalogous to thoss which trouble the peace of Victorla and other young democracies, 'Ihe Swiss, fudeed, are a democratic people, but the type of democ- racy which flourishes among them resemblesthat ot the Greek Republics ruther than that of the American Union. Down to the period of the French Revolution, the cantons, then and now distingulshed frotn ono another by differences of creed, race, und longuage, differed also in thelr political (nstitutions. ‘Lhere were strango combiuutions nud cross-divisions smong them; here werv absulute democracies, like that of Url, {n which, neverth , medioval superstle tion was most deeply rooted; there were rich rotestant Kepublics, like Bern, which were ln thie bunda of ctose. olizarcbies, und exercised o more than fendal tysanny over vassal commu- mties. The vote of Sunday, which shuwed an overwhelming majority 1 favor ol tha Bt Uothard project, was probably determined by patriotic conslderations,—cither by o fear that if the subsidy were rofused forelgn Lowers would obtain 2 commaad of ouo of the maln routes through Swisa territory, or by a vereep- tion of the growluyr ndvantages secured lo those countries whic have alrcudy done what it remains for Switzerland to do. - The Wistory of the.
