LONDON. FRIDAY EVENINU, NOVEMBER 22, 186 , THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. (From Me limes Special Correspondent.) POONA, Oct. 28. As I date this letter from Poona, it may be, per haps, as well to begin by stating that at present Poona is Bombay. I need scarcely explain that I mean by this no reflection on the geographical knowledge of your readers, and that I am not guard ing them from the error of supposing that Poona is somewhere in the neighbourhood of Abyssinia. For their sake and my own I could heartily wish it were, for I might then have something of interest to write about. But even those best up in Indian geography may not be aware that during the hot season, which is not yet quite over, Poona becomes the headquar ters of the Bombay Government, and that the most important work of the Presidency is done here. Hence the connection, not perhaps immediately ob vious to all English readers, between Poona and the Abyssinian Expedition. Sir R. Napier is up here, with his Staff, and the Governor returns to-day, having been driven away a few days ago by over work and fatigue to Mahableshwur, a still cooler and quieter retreat than Poona, which just now is by no means at its best. Indeed, during October there is not very much to choose between Poona and Bombay ; but for the greater part of the year Poona enjoys a charming climate, and is considered one of the pleasantest—by many the pleasantest—of mili tary stations in India. Its admirers loudly assert its claim to be the seat of Government in India, to the intense wrath and disgust of long-favoured Bengal, and not without a mild murmur even from Madras, which points with pride to Ootacamund as the finest bill station in India, and to the number of Bengal and Bombay folk who, in search of health or plea sure, annually resort to it. Poona is within easy access of Bombay, only 120 miles distant, with the journey entirely by railway. It thus offers the immense advantages of a compara tively cool climate, without any serious drawback on the score of inaccessibility, and these advantages, to be properly appreciated, must be felt by those who have hard work to get through in a given time under a blazing Indian sun. The Abyssinian Ex pedition, for instance, has involved an amount of labour of which people at home, who think more of general results than of detail, have very little no tion, and which is not of a kind to excite much in terest or sympathy. It is, I fear, out of my power to give even a tinge of :romance or heroism to the manly sweat, albeit on military brows, which is in duced by the exertion of auditing accounts, seeing that bullocks are branded, inspecting pack-saddles, or looking critically into the mouths of seedy ponies and venerable mules. This is the principal work MOW going on here in connection with the Abyssi nian Expedition, and very hard if not very glorious work it is, when it has to be done in a violent race against time, with a certain allowance of minutes, duly calculated, for the inspection of so many sad dles or so many mules. The Home Government cannot, perhaps, be blamed for preferring to sacri fice any amount of valuable time rather than forego the slightest chance of escape from a war in which there was so little to gain and so much to lose. But nevertheless the fact remains that, rightly or wrongly, they gave final orders for the expedition just three months too late, and, as a natural conse quence, economy has had to be thrown to the winds, and other considerations, not less important even in the eyes of the British taxpayer than economy, have gone with it. There is now little chance of an army being ready to march into Abyssinia before the beginning of next year, if then, and this leaves barely three months, according to some accounts, before the commencement of the rainy season, during which marching may be found impossible. If, therefore, Theodore has enough power left, which there is good reason to believe, to carry the captives about with him for a short time without being surrounded by enemies, there is no hope of concluding the campaign in one year. Thus the time lost, however unavoidably, in issuing positive and final orders for the expedition will probably make two campaigns necessary instead of one. The delay, however, will certainly not be due to any want of energy or activity among the high officials of Bombay or their subordinates. The popular notion both here and at home seems to be that the whole burden of organising has fallen upon Sir Robert Napier ; but, fortunately for Sir Robert, the notion is a delusion. As it is, he has in all con science enough work to do, and is hard at it from morning to night, but if he had a dozen such secre taries as Colonel Dillon, who is one of the best and hardest working soldiers in the British army, to as sist him, the Commander-in-Chief could not get through all the work that has just had to be done, and still remains to do, for the organisation of the Abyssinian Expedition. The purely military ar rangements have, indeed, most wisely been left un reservedly to him, and especially, with reference to whatever has been required from England, every suggestion of Sir Robert's has been forwarded home without question, and has, I believe, been unhesi tatingly adopted by the Home authorities. So far he has been, and, it is to be hoped, will remain dic tator. But in other matters—such as those that re quire the co-operation of the non-military depart ments, transport, both by land and sea, commissariat arrangements, and generally all questions having re ference to finance and expenditure—the organisation of the expedition has been placed in the hands of the Government of Bombay ; and, fortunately, the pre sent Governor, Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald, is a first rate man of business, quick in mastering the details of a question, and clear-sighted in detecting the main difficulties to be overcome. The Calcutta press, and, it is said a portion of the Calcutta Go vernment—though not, I believe, the Viceroy— are very angry at the Supreme Government being thus excluded from all share in the organisation of the Abyssinian Expedition. The feeling is not, perhaps, unnatural in Bengal, which can scarcely be expected to relish playing a subordinate part, though the leading Presidency, in an undertaking essentially Indian. Moreover, there exists a chronic jealousy between Bengal and Bombay. But no impartial outsider can for a moment blame the Secretary of State for intrusting the management of the expedition entirely to one Presidency. This was the only method of attaining the two most im portant of all requisites—unity and promptitude of action ; and if one Presidency was to be taken, the most obvious and natural course was to select the one nearest the field of action. The Home autho rities have themselves, I believe, most manfully re sisted the temptation to interfere. I have only heard of one instance in which they have insisted upon doing work which might have been better done by the Bombay Government, and the instance is worth mentioning, as it illustrates the mischief that may be occasioned by the injudicious division of power which Sir Stafford Northcote's censors seem to wish. The Transport Department of the Admiralty resolved, on the ground that they were sending out transports from home, to take the con trol of . the transports into their own hands, and nominated Captain Tryon " transport' officer" for all vessels employed in the expedition, with power to engage and discharge them as he might think fit. Now, Captain Tryon is a capital officer, and would probably perform this task, were it to be performed, as well as any man ; but it is simply an impossibility. Many of the transports are the property of Government in India ; many aro char tered for a long time; all have occasionally to un dertake duties which have no connexion whatever with the Abyssinian Expedition. A transport may have to-day to move a Madras regiment to relieve one from Bombay ; next week it may have to bring up invalids to embark for Europe in the new troop. ships. The following week mules, coals, porter, or Abyssinian troops may claim its care. From the limited steam tonnage at the disposal of Govern ment it is only by great management that these mis cellaneous duties can all be got through, each in its proper place ; and yet it was for this complex and intricate work that the Home authorities sent out an officer ignorant of the country, with no autho rity over the departments with which he would thus be brought into contact, and not under the authority of Government himself. Fortunately, Capt. Tryon has common sense as well as profes sional ability, and be proposed to limit his opera tions to transports employed in the Red Sea, where his services will be most valuable. Bengal itself furniehee an instance, less important in its practical consequence, but equally worth men tion as illustrating the mischief which results from the division of power. The Government there, in the same spirit as that of the Transport Department at home, resolved that they would themselves manage the transport of their own troops, and have in con ' sequence had to pay far higher rates than those paid by the Government of Bombay. The Himalaya, for instance, which had been offered to Bombay for £2 Bs. per ton per month, has been taken up at Calcutta at £2 155., with an additional £lOO per day for every day she is engaged in towing. The State will probably be thousands of pounds out of pocket by this ill-judged policy ; and, instead of the two instances I have cited, there would pro bably have been ten or twenty times the number if the Abyssinian expedition had been a sort of joint-stock concern between Bengal and Bom bay. A portion of the Calcutta press complains, moreover, that, in addition to the indignity of being left altogether out of the management of the Abyssinian Expedition, the Supreme Govern ment has further to submit to the outrage of having its advice rejected. But surely it is only fair to remember that those who have all the power have also all the responsibility, and it is hard to make a man responsible for any course of which he does not himself beartily approve. You will have inferred from my going at such length into this question, which is, however, a very important one, and has been attracting the principal share of public attention out here, that I have no news whatever to send you—at least, nothing that will have the faintest pretension to be considered news by the time it gets home. Zoulla is just now the word in every one's mouth, disposed of as glibly and discussed as familiarly as if we had all been born there, instead of most of us having never heard the name of the place till a telegram announced the other day that it had been chosen by the pioneer party, under Colonel Merewether, as the point of debarcation for the Abyssinian force. We make the most of Zoulla here, for Abyssinia is our one all absorbing topic of conversation, and Zoulla's brief history constitutes our one piece of Abyssinian news. But long before this news can reach England the British public will have devoured and leisurely digested Zoulla and everything connected with Zoulla ; will probably have even made up their mind where the place is situated and how it ought to be spelt ; whereas at present we are, some of us, in the dark on both theseimportant points. In a very limited research I have come upon four varieties of spell ing the names of places in or near Abyssinia, seeming, like those in India, to depend a good deal " upon the taste and fancy of the speller ;" and as regards the position, out of four maps I have seen, three place Zoulla on the western side of Annesley Bay, some way up towards the north, while one, but I believe the best, and drawn up in the quartermaster-general's department, expressly for the assistance of the Bombay authorities in the Abyssinian expedition, places it south of the bay, and slightly to the west. Its capabilities, however, are of far more importance than its exact position, but of these also the accounts are conflicting—in deed, contradictory. The official account is on the whole favourable. The water supply is, of course, the great question, and it is officially reported that within four miles of Zoulla there is now a sufficient supply of water for all immediate purposes, and that within 16 miles there is an abundant supply at all times at a place called " Wah River," to which a road or tramway for the carriage of men and provi sions can easily be made. On the other hand, the Times of India, usually a very well-informed paper, publishes this morning a statement of a very diffe rent nature, and most unfavourable. It is of no use discussing and balancing the probabilities of these opposite accounts, for, as I have already said, fur ther detailed information will reach you before this letter. Poona has not had quite time enough to make up its mind which report to believe, but, strange to say, seems inclined to adopt the unfavourable one. It is the first departure I have noticed from the in tensely sanguine cozdenr-de -rose view of the expedi tion which has prevailed in India, and which has contrasted so oddly with the gloomy forebodings rife at home. However, it must not be inferred from this that the expedition is one whit less popular than formerly. The Abyssinian fever was never more virulent than at present. All kinds of appoint ments, no matter how pleasant, dignified, or lucrative, are being eagerly thrown up in exchange for the very lowest and least enviable place in the expeditionary force. The " moke train," as the Transport Corps is irreverently nicknamed from the predominance in it of the mule ele ment, is full of eager volunteers, " glorying in the goad," and sublimely proof against the fire of chaff kept up by their more fortunate comrades, who hint at the propriety of the " moke train" all wearing white hats, and wonder why a Govern ment, which had the pick of Blackheath and Hamp stead, should employ men who, like Lord Chester• field's herald, " don't understand even their own foolish business." The " moke train" will, however, enjoy the distinction of being, I suppose, the only corps in the British army which has for its " vet." an " honourable." I watched this gallant patrician the other day examining the teeth and toes of some bullocks before they were severally branded (the unsavoury fumes of burnt bullock steamed up under his very nose, but he never flinched), and am happy to state that he performed the duty with an assiduity and scientific severity which would have melted the heart of the fiercest Demo crat, and which bore down hopelessly the opposition of a native contractor, whose grandfather had sup plied bullocks to Colonel Wellesley, better known as the Duke of Wellington. Engaged in the same humble, but arduous occupation, and exhibiting the same intrepid spirit, was a good-looking Hussar, who, for the honour of entering the Abyssinian " mcke train," had come all the way from the North-West Provinces, resigning without a sigh the much-coveted post of popular aide-de-camp, with all its pleasant perquisites of balls, dinner, croquet parties, pretty partners, and unlimited but safe flirtation. Of course, these gallant volunteers do not expect to return from Abyssinia with no other laurels than such as can be reaped from skilful bullock-driving or muleteering. They count upon what is briefly summed up in the pregnant word " casualties," and though this business like view may at first seem to the lovers of peace somewhat cold-blooded, there is no deny ing that it has about it a certain logical neatness, also a certain resemblance to the maxim that you should do unto others as you would they should do unto you. For the characteristic charm of a military casualty is that if it befalls your neighbour you get promotion, while if it befalls yourself you don't want it, and that you must either give him what he wants or afford him the pleasure of giving what you want. However, the moke train is by no means without its fair share of what Dr. Johnson calls the " dignity of danger." It has probably more than its share, for the Abyssinians are less likely to show fair fight in open field than to make sudden sallies upon the animals and stores. The chief difficulty of the expedition will consist in carrying these, properly protected, far into Abyssinia. But no one here seems to look upon it as anything more than a difficulty, the worst feature of which is its expense. Now that Zoulla has been selected as a landing-place, and the routes by Amphilla and Tajowrah thus put out of consideration, it is to be presumed that the force will be taken from Zoulla by the directest route to Halar, Dixan, Senafe, or whatever place on the Abyssinian border may be found bst suited for the first large depot. Accord ing to Dr. Belie, Senafe would seem the likeliest spot. There Sir Robert will have the choice of the two main routes to Debra Tabor and Magdala—that by Axum and Gondar, and that by Antalo and Sokota. The preponderance of authority is in favour of the latter route. Mr. H. Lepoer Wynne, after comparing the accounts of various travellers, men tions as its chief advantages that up to the river Takazzy the route lies through Tigre, in which we may possibly find or make allies, and that up to Sokota, the ultimate destination of the force, will still be left open. From Sokota it may, at the last moment, choose for attack either Debra Tabor or Magdala. If Sir Robert Napier adopts this route, he will probably, for this among other reasons, make Sokota his second large depot, Senafe being the first. With these two depots, and possibly Antalo as a THE SUN,. third, well provisioned, it is difficult to see what danger of starvation threatens the force, and though the enemy if he shows fight may greatly retard the advance of the troops with provisions, he cannot, as we shall have artillery with us specially adapted to mountain warfare, stop them altogether. The matter here is generally regarded as one merely of money and time, assuming that Sir Robert advances slowly and steadily on some such base of operations, as I have pointed out—both serious considerations, no doubt, but still not quite so bad as the starvation and annihilation with which M. Bisson and others threaten us. These calamities might indeed over take a small force making a rapid dash, according to the plan first proposed, into the country, and trusting to its celerity of movement and lightness of equipment. But with 12,000, or, as I now hear, 15,000 effectives, we shall have enough men for depot guards, escorts, and reserves. The whole force, includingeffectives, the men at tached to the Departments of Supply and Transport, the coolie corps, and followers, public and private, of all descriptions, will, I am told, not run very far short of 50,000 men. The animals are variously estimated from 25,000 to 30,000, and by some even 35,000. It is only, however, just beginning to Le seen at what rate they are coming on. The reports so far are favourable, and the Scinde portion of the First Brigade (the details of which I gave in my last letter) .will in consequence leave Kurrachee in a few days. If the reports continue good, the Second Brigade will leave about the 25th of November, not improbably under the command of General Sir Charles Staveley, a first-rate soldier, whose whole heart is in his profession. Sir Robert Napier, how ever, has steadily set his face against sending any troops to Zoulla one moment before the necessary preparations are made for them, or before there is really something for them to do. They would be only risking their health and "eating gold." So that the further movements of the force are little more than matter of conjecture, and depend upon what reports as to carriage, &c., the next few days or weeks may bring in. Some of your readers who have friends in the Abyssinian force may be glad of the following in formation with reference to the postal arrangements —They will have to address to " The Field Force, Abyssinia," and pay the same rates of postage as for Aden. The Condemned Convicts at Manchester. We have very great pleasure in announcing that, upon the recommendation of her Ministers, her Ma jesty has been graciously pleased to respite the capi tal sentence upon the convict Shore, in whose favour it may be remembered that he was unarmed when apprehended, and that he was not proved to have been armed during the fatal affray. MANCHESTER, Thursday. The work of erecting barriers in New Bailey street, Manchester, on the side where the execution is to take place, was commenced to-day, and is pro gressing rapidly. The timber employed in their construction is of great thickness, and will be suffi ciently strong to resist anything short of super human pressure. The barricades within which the police will stand will be so placed as to keep back the spectators towards either end of the street, and barriers 12ft. high will be erected across Stanley street and at the junction of Stanley-street with New Bailey-street, with a door to admit the magis trates and officials, and to permit the egress of ar tillery stationed within the enclosed part of New Bailey-street if it should be necessary. A procla mation from the corporation of Salford requests all peaceably-disposed persons not to be present, so as to reduce as far as possible the dangers likely to arise from the presence of a large crowd. The pri soners have the advantage of spiritual comfort from priests of their own religious persuasion, and the Rev. Canon Cantwell and the Rev. Mr. Gudd are in daily attendance at the prison. They appear to be quite resigned to their doom. Evening. A crowded meeting in the Corn Exchange to night has petitioned unanimously for the commuta tion of the sentence upon all the condemned Fenians. The Rev. W. C.ill presided, and Messrs. Jones and Cottingham addressed the meeting. The Dowager Marchioness of Queensberry has sent £3OO for Larkins's family. THE DEMONSTRATION ON CLERKEN WELL-GREEN. The deputation from sympathisers with the Fenian convicts which was repulsed from the Home office on Monday afternoon carried out their inten tion of making" a gre ttdemonstration" on Clerken well-green last evening. The placard summoning the meeting was headed by the introduction of Portia's appeal to Shylock, and this was gene rally the text of the speakers. The evening was very cold for an open-air meeting, but at half past six the people began to gather in considerable numbers round a waggon drawn up near the drinking fountain in the middle of the paved quadrangle known as " the green." By 8 o'clock, when a second waggon was drawn up near the Sessions-house, the gathering must have numbered some two or three thousand, and when it had been added to by a couple of processions—the St. S within's Temperance Society and another—the crowd ap parently filled the whole of the green, and, as far as could be seen from the platforms, people also congregated in the streets leading from the quad rat-Tie. It was easy to move on the outskirts of the crowd, and more than once, while the demonstration was at its height, vehicles passed through the green without difficulty, though slowly. The crowd was, therefore, not so dense as it seemed from the wag gons, lighted only by naphtha lamps, and perhaps did not number much more than 4,000, including the large number of boys and the few women who helped to swell the gathering. Later in the evening a third waggon was drawn up close in front of the Sessions house, and the more prominent among the speakers, passing from platform to plat form, took part in the proceedings at each. The re solutions come to expressed a hope that the Fenians would not be executed, protested against the Home Secretary's refusal to receive a deputation on Mon day, and declared against sacrificing the lives of four men for the "accidental and unfortunate death" of one. It was also resolved to memorialize the Queen in person ; the memorial agreed on was precisely similar in terms to that taken by Monday's deputa tion to Mr. Hardy, and it is proposed to carry it to Windsor to-day, in the hope that the Queen will receive those bearing it. If the memorialists prove unsuccessful, and the convicts are hanged, the movers of this demonstration have resolved to march on Sunday, with as many as please to follow them, from Clerkenwell-green to Hyde-park. On the way the members of the procession are to wear mourning badges, and bands will accompany them, playing the " Dead March in Saul ;" black banners also are to be borne by them, bearing figures of the harp and shamrock and the names of the condemned men. The proceedings were conducted in the most orderly manner ; no more policemen were to be seen on the green than are usually found there ; the speakers were, of course, very earnest in their declamation, and their hearers cheered with their wonted vigour, but beyond this and the obstruction of the traffic, no public inconvenience was caused by the demon stration. The chairman of the meeting held in the centre of the square was Mr. CLEGG, who, on opening the proceedings, annou need that there were present sym pathizers from Liverpool and from America. Re ferring to the visit to the Home Office, he attributed any violent expressions uttered there to the bad taste of Mr. Hardy in not receiving a deputation of working men. (Cries of " Shame on him !") They wished to talk a little with him, because they had something to say which they could not very well put down in writing, lest they should have risked the reception of the memorial itself. It was said that they ought to have been introduced by a mem ber of Parliament; but they wished, as working men, to do their own work themselves. If they committed any breach of etiquette, let it be remem bered they were illiterate men, and let the will be taken for the deed. Mr. FIN LAN moved the fird resolution. Describing the object of the meeting as disinterested, generous, and humane, he deprecated any violation of order, mentioning a report that soldiers were near, in the House of Detention. (A Voice—" Let them stop there.") Comparing this demonstration of force and authority to that which he said caused the riot in Hyde Park, he said that now, as then, the people were not to be intimidated thus. Then, pleading for the " good, but perhapsreckless youngmen, doomed to the tender mercies of Calcraft," he contended that they were political offenders—Fenix ns certainly, but Fenianism was another name for patriotism. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) It had been declared by the Times that his own conduct at t'he Home-office had been as disgraceful as that of - the condemned prisoners ; if so, he ought to be condemned too ; and if he could not be hung for his couduct, then the prisoners ought to escape. (Cheers.) Referring to a suggested prosecution of himself for trespass, which the meeting received as a joke, he claimed a degree of publicity for the Home-office which protected him from such a charge. The terms of their resolution were intended to convey sympathy with the doomed and commiseration with thefamily of the man whose life was lost. If their efforts proved ineffectual up to this morning, they would to-day do their best to reach the ears of the Queen. (Hear, hear.) The de putation would go in the spirit of mercy ; it would be prompted only by the most catholic and generous considerations. If the men were after all executed —(A Voice—We will have revenge.) Let there be no talk of revenge, for a moral power would be evoked which would be enough without that ; but there would be a funeral procession. (Cheers.) For what he had already done in this matter he had been dismissed from his employment—(cries of "Shame") —but, nevertheless, he would head the funeral pro• cession. (Great cheering.) After a few all but inaudible words by the visitor from Liverpool, who was understood to communi cate a declaration made by one of the condemned prisoners to a relation that if executed they would regard themselves as murdered men, Mr. OWEN seconded the resolution. He urged that we could afford to be magnanimous, and that the Government would be humiliated if it took away the lives of the four misguided young men. He did not see why the Queen, on the presentation of a me morial, should not in such a case advise her advisers. After three cheers for the Queen, the resolution was put and carried by a show of hands. Mr. MELDRUM moved the second resolution, and treated the crime of the condemned as a political offence, which it would be impolitic to punish with death, while the exercise of mercy would strengthen the hands of the Government. He also referred to Allen as being a youth and a child in the eye of the law—certainly in a political sense. He concluded by dwelling on the sufferings and the wrongs of Ire land. Mr. THOMAS seconded the resolutipn, and said there would have been no necessity for this meeting if the Home Secretary had received the deputation on Monday. Perhaps that refusal had done more to excite public opinion on the subject than any other event which could have transpired. He urged that the convicts were guilty only of manslaughter at the worst. BRADLAUGR supported the motion. He would not have spoken, he said, but for what he had just heard of the jcourse of the debate in the House of Commons. Earnestly recommending abstinence from language or conduct which could tend to de feat their single object, or that could provoke a conflict which would be attended with disadvantage to those who were the worst prepared for it, he called upon the Government to consider that they must bear the full responsibility if they provoked people here and in Ireland—(A. Voice—" And in America")— to such an extent that sad results en sued. He pleaded, however, with the strong for mercy, and with authority for clemency. At the same time, he concluded from the letter of Mr. Justice Blackburn that the law was not so clear but that some excuse might have been found by the Government if they had wished to show mercy. L?gally, they had the right to take these men's lives; bnt how coald they do so with the consciousness that if we had governed Ireland better these things would not have happened? (Hear, hear.) Calmly and earnestly, he dreaded that the worst kind of civil war would follow the execution. In conclusion, ho contended that the poor, who would suffer most for any mistaken policy, had the right to urge this plea for mercy. (Cheers.) In the time that remained let all who joined in the appeal individually petition the authorities, earnestly, solemnly, but not rashly, asking that the lives in their hands may not be recklessly sacrificed. (Cheers.) The resolution was carried, and it was announced that collecting boxes would be sent round for con tributions towards the expenses. It was also stated that a gentleman had contributed a box of mourning hat-bands to be worn on Sunday if necessary, and those who could not obtain hat-bands were recom mended to wear crape on the arm. The procession would start from Clerkenwell-green at 11 o'clock. Thanks were voted to the chairman, and the assem blage around the platform began to disperse. Mr. GIL3IORE presided at the second platform, and, opening the proceedings, he insisted that, no matter how impartial the Judges and the jury at Manchester were, they could not possibly have given, in the excitement of the moment, proper weight to the defence set up for the convicts ; and, to his mind, it was palpable that in this instance the lives of four human beings were to be sacrificed on the testimony of prostitutes and perjurers. But, notwithstanding his belief in the innocence of the men, he would rather see them hanged than condemned to the pains of Portland, because be believed they would go from martyrdom into everlasting glory. Mr. RICHARDSON, the mover of the first resolu tion, rejoiced in the demonstration before him. That the men of London could leave their homes on such a night to speak in mercy's name was enough to stay the tyranny of any Govern men t, h o wever bloodthirsty it might be. He urged his hearers to go on in their work of mercy, and if possible save the lives of those misguided, rash, but patriotic men in Manchester. Mr. M'SwEENv, one of the deputation, declaimed against the juvenile perjurers who had been trained to swear away the lives of the men at Manchester, and then he criticised Lord Derby's speech in the House of Lords. The Earl of Derby had said that the prisoners were not condemned for political crimes, and in the next breath he expressed himself satisfied that the Fenians would rest content with nothing short of a republic. He had also stated that before the republic had lived six months the people would have knocked each other's brains out, and in twelve months they would be cutting each other's throats. Such was the trifling of the Prime Minister, such the wisdom with which England was governed and Ireland misgoverned. The Government of Ire land was but a military encampment, and the Lord Lieutenant a notorious exterminator ; he had, therefore, little hope of getting justice for Ireland, but he appealed to the men of London to insist that the lives of these men should not be sacrificed at the desire of such a miserable Government. Several other speakers followed in the same strain, and some urged their hearers to behave in an orderly manner, even before the police or military, so that the Government should find they could prove them selves men, and worthy of a hearing. At the third platform the same speakers repeated their observations with more or less variation, and the crowd dispersed about 9 o'clock. followed, and the meeting broke up at eight o'clock, not more than a score or two of hands being held up in favour of the memorial. A portion of those assembled then marched through the streets ; in the Horsefair they raised a cry of " Cheap bread," and smashed the windows of a baker's shop, as it appeared, with no other design than mischief, Thence they proceeded to St. Al ban's Church (ritualistic), where they smashed the vestry windows and tore up a portion of the pali sades, at the same time shouting, " Down with Father Pollock." In this case, again, it was chiefly youths who did the mischief, and they soon fled on the arrival of the police. That the affair did not assume dimensions of any importance may be esti mated from the announcement in one of the local papers " that no arrests were made." THE FERNDALE EXPLOSION. AIF.RTIIYIt TYDFIL, Wednesday Night. The bodies which had been cut off from the ex ploring parties on Thursday last by a sudden fall were reached on Tuesday morning by the workmen under Mr. H. Kirkhouse, and on that day about 20 were recovered and sent to the bank. They were there seen by their friends, and after identification by means of the clothing taken to the mountain churchyard for interment. A few of them were taken to Merthyr and Aberdare and still more dis tant places for burial. Men from the remotest cor ners of England have been killed by this explosion, among the missing being some men from Derby shire and two or three from Yorkshire. Parents walked the distance from Herefordshire and Wor cestershire to the pit in search of their children. One of them was a poor woman who arrived on Sunday ; the sympathetic bystanders made a col lection for her on the spot. The incidents which have come under the notice of the mining engineers in the pit are very affecting, and, could space be devoted, would doubtless be read with interest. One of them can hardly be passed over. A father and son were found locked iu each other's arms. So firmly were they clinging to each other, and with such rigidity, that the arms had to be broken before they could be separated. This was related by one of the engineers now in charge of a working party. On Saturday something like organisation in con ducting operations below the surface was made, and four gentlemen—Mr. Richd. Bedlington, of Rhym ney ; Mr. Harrison, of Dinas ; Mr. Morgan Joseph, Treherbert ; and Mr. Herbert Kirkhouse, of Aber dare—were placed in charge of the pit to relieve each other once in 36 hours. Besides them several other engineers have been at work at the head of work men from their own pits, and it is worthy of remark that the Ferndale men have demonstrated the most decided hostility to the strangers who have come to their assistance, an open fight having been appre hended at one time. They seem anxious to do all the work themselves. After the removal of the great fall of Thursday, which was accomplished by Tuesday morning, the recovery of bodies proceeded rapidly. Twenty were brought up during that day, and during last night and to-day 23 others have been brought out dead, and 148 fatal casualties, three of the injured having died. The bodies when got at in the pit are so far advanced in decomposi tion that they cannot be lifted from the ground, and are consequently rolled into canvas and packed up mummy fashion, in which state they have to be dragged over falls—a series of miniature hilly ridges —to the tramways. Notwithstanding the free use of powerful disinfectants and an incessant supply of over 100,000 cubic feet of air per minute to the workings, yet in the front where the bodies are found the stench was so intolerable that some of the workmen were obliged to abandon the work for a time. During the clearance of the falls a considerable number of lamps were found with their tops off, but in a condition as would be altogether incom patible with the supposition that the tops had been blown off by the explosion, and three or four lamp keys were also found. The introduction of these was contrary to the rules of the pit, and, to show that there was rigid inspection of the miners some times before they went down, an instance has been found of a collier sewing a lamp key inside his cap. The cap was found among rubbish with a key fas tened to the crown inside, and was to be seen as found at the office to-day. The exact number of persons missing from the houses at Ferndale appears to be 170, but there is some doubt as to whether there may not have been some men down the pit who have not been inquired for. Certain it is that .some bodies have been buried as unknown. Two were so taken away to day, after lying a couple of days exposed-to public view. As may be expected, the effluvium of the decom posing bodies is all pervading, and everything around the pit throws off the noisome odour. Dis infectants were freely distributed among the houses where the dead bodies lay last week, and now the whole of the buildings about the pit have been covered with gas tar, which, from the presence of carbolic acid, is a powerful disinfectant. It has un doubtedly contributed much to the purification of the atmosphere around the pit. Mr. Wells, the Government inspector, was at the pit to-day, and thought there could be not many more than 20 bodies still to be brought up. The inquest is expected to be further adjourned from the 25th inst. to a fortnight from that date, in order to give the inspectors time to complete their reports. RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT EASTERN. In reply to the circular issued by the committee of shareholders appointed on the Bth inst., in which they propose to ask the shareholders to-day to re duce the number of the board by removing Mr. J. Goodson, Major H. J. AV. Jervis, Mr. G. Josselyn, and Colonel Palmer from the office of directors, those gentlemen state that in case such a resolution should be put and carried they must decline to re cognise its legality until confirmed by a court of law. They remind the chairman of ,the committee that Mr. Denison, Q.C., and Mr. Horatio Lloyd, so eminent for railway law, were of opinion that the meeting has not the power to do as the committee pro pose. Col. Palmer, one of the directors representing the interests of the Northern and Eastern Railway Company at the Great Eastern Board, states in his circular that the 22 stations on the lines of his com pany have been earning for some years past £800,300 per annum, out of which the Great East ern proprietors have only been required to pay over £63,000 to the Northern and Eastern proprietors, retaining the balance of £737,000 per annum, and the occupation of 27 acres of land at Stratford, the property of the Northern and Eastorn proprietors. Mr. Goodson has also issued a circular, in which he states that the stake he represents in the com pany is a very large one, and that he is naturally anxious for its protection. If a good chairman be secured and a more efficient board be formed he would be ready, in conjunction with the other mem bers of the direction, to vacate his seat. He adds that the stake he refers to consists entirely of loans which he had been instrumantal in obtaining for the company, amounting to upwards of a quarter of a million, not including a large amount of stock. He objects to the constitution of the present committee, and states that if the loans he has referred to were paid off, nothing would induce him to remain a member of the board. BIRMING HAM. Some of the members of the Birmingham Re form League have been doing their best to get up a disturbance in that town by an endeavour to excite sympathy with the Fenian convicts, in which last, however, they have utterly failed. They ca l led an open-air meeting for Wednesday night at 7 o'clock, for the purpose of adopting a memorial to Govern ment to commute the sentence on these convicts. In an anonymous advertisement the people were urged to " come in their thousands." At the hour named some 400 or 500 persons (chiefly youths) as sembled, and Mr. J. A. Partridge. a member of the Reform League, was called upon to preside. A man named Nuttall,. also a member of the League, moved the adoption of a memorial, but he was not listened to, and was interrupted by cries of " Hang 'em, " &c. Confusion and disorder SIRHOWY. The necessary Parliamentary notices have been given by this company for an extension from Nine Mile Point to Newport, and for running powers over portions of the Great Western Railway, the object being to secure access to the Aberdare Val ley, so as to bring the coals of that district over the Sirhowy for shipment at Newport. The extension from Nine Mile Point to Newport was to run almost parallel with the Monmouthshire Railway for the greater part of the distance. BUENOS AYRES GREAT SOUTHERN (LIMITED). The report of the directors states that two ordi nary general meetings of the company were in future to be held in each year, instead of one, as originally arranged. The accounte were to be made up yearly, and submitted to shareholders at the meeting to be held in the Month of May in each year. In reference to the dividend of five per cent. declared at the meeting of July last, the Board had received within the last few days the balance of the amount due from the Buenos Ayrean Government under the guarantee of 1866. When the dividend in question was de clared, the Board announced their intention of giv ing the shareholders the option of taking the divi dends or a portion of them in bonds of the company, by which process debentures now in the hands of the company, the proceeds of which were required towards meeting the outlays on capital account, would be placed among the proprietary ; and the board expected that a large proportion would agree to accept the bonds. Although the board had no accounts to submit at the meeting, they had plea sure in stating that the working of the line for the six months ending June had been very satisfactory. The gross receipts of the line for the half-year end ing June last amounted to £43,784, as against £26,503 in the corresponding period last year, or an increase of 601 per cent., while the working ex penses amounted to £24,360, or 55} per cent., as against £17,002, or 64 per cent. in the correspond ing period of last year. The profits for the first six months of this year had been at the rate of 5f per cent. per annum, after providing for interest on the debentures. The increase was chiefly on the goods traffic. The general manager stated in reference to the goods traffic that while in the June half-year of 1866 the railway carried only 13 per cent. of the produce brought into the southern market of Buenos Ayres, it had this year carried 28.80 per . cent. of the whole amount brought in. This was satisfactory, as showing not only that the rail way was gradually superseding the bullock carts as a means of transportation, but that there was a large amount of traffic in the country which must in time find its course over the railway. To meet the increasing traffic of the railway the board had sanctioned an extraordinary outlay on this ac count of £7,500. The board had sent out, at the request of the local committee, during the present year, two new locomotive engines, and the necessary fittings for converting 42 ordinary waggons into wool waggons. In addition to this, two new tram way carriages were being built which would be shipped in a few weeks. With those increased facilities for the transport of traffic the board hoped to see the profits of the line greaty augmented at an early date. The permanent way and rolling stock were reported to be in excellent order. The amendment proposed to be made in the resolution declaring the dividend was rendered necessary mainly by the difficulty and inconvenience which would result from the income-tax being deducted from the dividends for which the shareholders ac cepted debentures. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The traffic receipts for the week ending the 2nd instant amounted for passengers to 11,2241. for emigrants to 4171., for mails, &c., to 1,0271., and for freight and live stock to 17,5911. ; total, 30,259/. ; and for the corresponding week last year to 30,391/., showing an increase of 1321. The total receipts from the Ist of July to the 2nd instant amounted to 495,0321., and for the same period last year to 508,927/., showing a decrease of 13,8951. MELBOURNE AND HOBSON'S BAY UNITED. The traffic receipts on this company's lines-17 miles in length—for the four weeks ending the 19th of September amounted to 8,4851., against 9,3311. for the corresponding four weeks in 1866, showing a decrease of 8461. SAN PAULO, BRAZILIAN. The traffic receipts on this company's line-86i miles in length—for the week ending October 6 amounted to 2,8721., and for the week ending October 13 to 2,9371., together 5,8091., of which 8841. was for passenger traffic and 4,9251. for goods traffic. MAURITIUS. The traffic receipts on the Mauritius Government lines for the four weeks ending September 30 amounted to 7,3931., against 7,0901. for the corres ponding four weeks last year, showing an increase of 3031. 0 verland India Mail. Bombay papers to Oct. 29 have come to hand ; they contain little in addition to the telegrams already received via Trieste. IVhat further news they supply we give below from the 7 imes of India:— The latest date from Great Britain by the Indo- European Telegraph is Oct. 26. Communication with England during the fortnight has been very regular and satisfactory. The Rev. C. H. Blumhardt, of the Church Mis sionary Society, who has just compiled a handbook of the Amharic language, containing a vocabulary in English, Oordoo, and Amharic, has accepted the invitation of Sir R. Napier to join the expeditionary force to Abyssinia. Special correspondents for Abyssinia from four of the London daily papers are now in Bombay await ing the despatch of the main body of the force. The Secretary for India has expressed himself satisfied with a paid-up capital of £500,000 for starting the new Bank of Bombay. Government is to hold no shares, but will appoint an ollicial auditor as security for transferring its cash balance to the new bank. A meeting of the shareholders of the old Bank of Bombay is called for Nov. 20, to consider the winding-up of the bank, and the transfer of its business to the new bank. In reply to a memorial from the Bombay shareholders, Govern ment refuses to admit any liability on account of the past losses of the bank. Under instructions from home, the Bombay agents for the Comptoir d'Escompte and the Delhi and London Banks have returned to the six months, uance for bills drawn on England. A call of £lO per share on the shareholders of the National Financial Banking Company has been sanctioned by the Bombay High Court. The Government Returns show an expected decrease in the area of land cultivated for cotton in the Bombay Presidency (exclusive of native States) in 1867-68 of 86,401 acres, as compared with that of 1866-67. A private of the 45th Regiment, named Cassidy, has been committed for trial for culpable homicide and attempted murder, having shot a Mahratta at Poona, and then, while under the influence of drink, tried to shoot Drum Major N. Griffiths. From statistics published in Bombay it appears that infant marriages among the Parsees of Bombay are decreasing in number. It is hoped that through railway communication between Bombay and Madras will be complete by the end of 1870. A. collision occurred between two passenger trains on the B. B. and C. I. Railway recently, through a native pointsmau wrongly working the points. For tunately one train was stationary, and the other's speed had been greatly reduced. A marriage is announced to take place in January between Captain Lowndes Randall, A.D.C. to the Governor-General of India, and Miss Lawrence his Excellency's eldest daughter. A bill has been introduced into the Viceregal Council for the appointment of a commissioner to investigate the debts of the ex-King of Oude, who now owes £750,000, notwithstanding his pension of £120,000 per annum. Col. Sir H. Green has telegraphed from Jacoba bad that the account of the raid on the British frontier by the Murees is without foundation. Th e tribe had not approached within 30 miles of the frontier, and there was no probability of their doing so. Fourteen prisoners recently attacked the sepoy guard at the gates of Rajkote Gaol, and after kill ing one and wounding another escaped. They were pursued, and, with one exception, all were speedily captured. A Silladar troop of cavalry is to be organised for service at Aden. _ _ _ Colonel Wilson succeeds Brigadier General Stewart as Deputy Adjutant General of the Bengal Army. Colonel G. G. Holmes, it is said, returns to army headquarters as First Assistant Adjutant General. The enzeute of the Bhawulporo soldiery at Ahmed pore on the 25th September seem to have been caused by the intrigues of some native officials who had been displaced from office by British rule. A suttee was lately prevented in Rajpootana by some native officials, who have been congratulated on their conduct by the Governor General. Singram Singh, a Jounpore rebel, one of the leaders of the rebellion of 1857, lately lost his life in the Benares district whilst resisting the police. A considerable falling off in the Ceylon coffee crop this year is reported. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 21. The police continue to exercise unabated vigi lance in watching the movements of suspected Fenians, and occasionally make successful incur sions into their dwellings in search of arms. One of these was mrde on Tuesday evening, and the re suit was the c a pt ure o f fi ve persons, w ho were brought before the presiding magistrate at the head police-office yesterday. The evidence of the inspector who commanded the party of police showed that in company with two detectives and a number of constables he entered the house of a publican name d O'Rorke, situate on the Coombe, and observed be" hind the counter a travelling bag. He asked Hen rick, one of the persons who lived in the house and assisted in the business, to give him the key, he t not having his request complied with he broke open the box, and found that it contained eight five chamber revolvers fully loaded and capped, seven six-chamber revolvers, t wo un l oa d e d pistols, 1 07 rounds of patent ball cartridge, 376 percussion cap a powder-horn well filled, and a bullet-moul d. When asked to account for their possession Henrick alleged that the bag had been handed across the counter on the previous night by a young wan whom he did not know, but who had been there on two or three occasions. He was taken into custody , and the police then went up-stairs, and searched n' room in which he and another assistant nam ed , Hopper slept. Th er e th e y f oun d a bullet-mou ld ' some documents which they had not had time to examine, and a letter signed "John Walsh," wh o was believed to be the man of the same name who was charged a few days since with firing at a Crown: witness in Blackrock. In another room they found a military belt, which was stated to belong to Wal sh ' Hopper and a porter named Keogh were arrested. Two men named Irvin and Kelly, who were in the house at the time, were also t a k en i n t o c ustody, bu t were discharged by the magistrate, there being no evidence against them. Mr. O'R or k e stated tha t he did not reside in the house and knew nothing ° the transaction. He asked to have the prisoners admitted to bail, as their absence from busin ers would be inconvenient to him. He professed bis belief in their innocence. The inspector observed that if the magistrate saw their room he would not think so. They had pictures hung up of Willia m O'Mara Allen and other similar characters, wb ie were decorated with flowers and other o rnament• Henrick, on hearing the evidenc e res p ec ting Allen t picture, exclaimed " Hear, hear, and a first-rt e man he is, too." The three p r i son ers were re manded for further examination. d to Another attempt at assassination is allege , a have been made yeste r d a y morn i ng . A Mr. Je% Berningham reported to the poli ce that as be was passing the corner of P e t er - s t ree t an d B r ide-stree t ' between 9 and 10 o'clock, a s h o t was fi re d at b i°l j and a slug passed cl o s e t o hi s f ace an d penetrat ed his hat and there remai ne d. H e a t once gave lll3f ! l ; 'nation to the police, who have si n ce endeavoll to obtain some clue to what s e ems t o b e a IllYstell but without effect. It is stated in explanation of such an attempt that the man may have been robe taken for a detective. The aff a ir requires to e further investigated. It is strange that only 0 2 1 4 side of the hat has been pierced, and that the bullet or slug was lodged in the hat. Assassins do not ta long shots with slugs at intended victims, an', a spent ball fired at close (patters would be such a va proof of incompetency that it is difficult to believe it could have come from a Fenian hand. rTo ness came forward to prove that he heard a sbot.
