Col. Baden-Powell Repels Attack.

It is reported from Pretoria that a very determined effort has just been made to accelerate the fall and capitulation of Mafeking. On Tuesday last the town was subjected to tremendous bombardment, every available gun being brought to bear on the ramparts. Col. Baden-Powell made a spirited reply, and, after heavy fighting, the Boers were drawn off, having failed to accomplish their object.
