Lonpon, 2.—Special despatches received

Natal,

from Pietermaritzburg, and dated Tuesday morning, say

that stragglers from the Gloucestershire

regiment are arriving at Ladysmith, anu also contain the comforting news that a

a number of the missing mules of the mountain battery witha portion of the battery equipment are also coming in.

A careful calculation of the British losses in allthe regiments, since the out. break of hostilities with the Boers, ex- cluding the casualties among the non-= commissioned cflizers and menin Mon- day’s engagement, which are thus far unknown, gives a total of 916, to which probably will bave to be added 1200 when the details regurding the Ladysmith re. verse are received, as followe :

Officers 135, being 19 ki led, 61 wounded } and 55 captured.

Men 783, being 137 killed, 492 wounded acd 15t captured.
