.[SpeeraL To THe xAMINER.]

Lonvow, Oct. 24.—It appears that the brilliant victory at Elandslaagte was pro~ ductive of no effect for the relief of Glencoe and the very reiicence and brevity of Lord Wolseiey’s communication are too onimous. It seems io be worded to prepare the public for bad news, and it is only too likely that General Yule has been com-~ pelled to abandon the wounded and prison- ers at Dundee because his force is too weak to hold the four anda half miles separating Dundee from Glencoe.

Probably General Yule belives he can better protect Dundee from an enemy ad- vancicg from the northwest by coacentrat« ingall his available strecgth «at Glencoe,

The short uctige given of the public meeting in the Opera House last evening did mot interfere with the attendance, for by the time 8 o’clock arrived there was a great gathering of ladies and gentlemen there to do honor to Major Weeks and the rave fellows who go with him to the Transvaal. The gallant Major and his fellow soldiers occupied reserved seats on the stage. There were also on tbe stage Premier l’arqubareon and several members of the Government, the Chief Justice aed Mr. Justice Fitzgerald, Judges Warburton aod Macdonald, Mayor Warburton aod Aldermen Nicholson, Hooper and Wheatley.

members of the contingent with souveuir pins, the gift of a city jeweler who did not wisb his name disclosed; and Mise Helen Warburton gave Major Weeke an elegant bouquet.

The proceedings opened and closed with the National Anthem, the audience joining in the singing. During the evening Private Dillon sang “The Soldier.” “Rule § Britacnia” and other patriotic selections
