A revolution has, according to the Daily News, broken out
in Zululand. Sir H. Bulwer having refused to receive the great deputation which asked for the return of Cet,ewayo, the Zulu Chiefs have taken the matter into their own hands. A brother of the ex-King, named Dabuko, has restored the Regimental system, occupied the territories of one chief, and driven another into the caves of Zlobane. Lord Kimberley says he has no information of these events, but he does not speak hope- fully. An attack upon John Dunn is expected, and if be is defeated, the Zulu kingdom will be reconstituted upon the old lines. The local correspondents regard that prospect with horror, alleging, as usual, that if any concession is made, more 'will be demanded ; but we do not see why it is our business to prevent the revival of Zululand. Let the Zulus have their King, if they wish for him, whether Dabuko or Cetewayo. We can defend Natal, if necessary, and the Boers have shown that they are entirely competent to take care of themselves.
