The host of the roads, as Mans field Parkyns says, aro merely tracks, and it is probable that, wherever there are villages, communications exist between them. Travellers never seem to have found any difficulty in deviating from their course when political or other reasons compelled them to do so." Dr. Beke is still of opinion that the " key to Abyssinia" is to be found in the valley of the Hadas. In February, 1866, this explorer went with his wife up the dry bed of the river Iladas, turning about ten miles below Tohonda by the pass of Shumfaito. From the head of Annesley Bay to the tableland of Abyssinia it is, he states, little more than twenty geographical miles as the crow flies, and at Halal they could hear the firing of cannon at Massowah. It took seven days to make the journey, and four in return.

(From a Correspondent of the Times) WELLINGTON, Nov. 8. The first question which the colonists generally ask on the arrival of the English mail is, " What is the price of wool ?" To many that question has been sorrowfully answered during the past few months, very heavy losses having been incurred by the increased depression which prevails in the home market for this staple article of our produce. But the appointment of the new Governor has, never theless, been the more absorbing question lately. A newspaper telegram by the Suez mail informed us that the coming man was to be Sir G. Boiven, - of Queensland, and subsequently the following de spatch was received via Panama : " Downing-street, Aug. 22, 1867. " Sir,—You were informed by my Despatch, No. 37, of the 18th of June, that you would shortly be relieved from your duties as Governor of New Zealand, and that you would be apprised of the „ THE nivrAs 0t717M0.E5.

The martello towers at Kings town and Sandy Cove, near to Dublin, have been rein forced by marines from the Royal George. The same paper gives the following details received by telegraph of the extraordinary affair at Cork : " Dublin, Monday Evening. " The latest telegrams from Cork state that at ten minutes after nine, while Mr. Allport, gunmaker, was inside the counter, his nephew and shop assistant being in the shop, eight men suddenly entered, advanced on the Messrs. Allport, producing each a revolver ready cocked ; presented them at each of the shopmen, and stood motion. less. One of the assailants, a tall, young-looking man, well dressed, of military bearing, and good address, still holding his pistol presented to Mr. Allport, said, in a voice which had a decided American accent, ' We want your revolvers, sir ;' and then, turning to the nephew and the shopman, continued, ' Now, gentlemen, we do not intend offering you any violence whatever, but if you offer any resistance to us we will certainly shoot you ; so remain quiet for a time.' While this affair was being enacted another of the band, after coolly surveying the contents of the shop, proceeded to scan the revolvers displayed in the window, upwards of sixty of the finest construc tion, and varying from. six to twelve chambers. The stranger jumped up on the window - board, the contents of which he proceeded deliberately to select. lIPRINT IN G. -TO PROPRIETORS OP NEWSPAPERS, PERIODICALS, itc, , The Printing and achining of Newspapers, &c., done on exeeedingly favourable terms.

A Blue-hoof _ the abo itlc has beep, po lished in , _attnee with r.n o) of the HoUse.of Commons made on the 26th orpTovember hiss. ,It consists of a compilation froM ::the writings of various travellers iii Abyminia, intended to' show the character country, the roads by which it may be entered; atilt, to giteanacititt of the social and political condition of the peopie: — This some- what laborious work has been done under the super intendence of Colonel James, and the chief facts that were known about Abyssinia prior to the pre sent expedition are gathered together in the Blue book before us. If, as is stated, a company of Sappers were sent out from England with no supplies of warm cloth ing, it was not because the necessity for such arti cles was not known at the War-office. All the tra vellers whose experiences are here related found that in the highlands the cold was often very severe, but none of them record so low a reading of the thermometer as our correspondents recently stated had been experienced. A temperature of 55 deg. appears to be the lowest which Bruce encountered at Gondar, and Major Harris found it 41 deg. at Aukobar, the capital of Soha, 8,200 ft above the sea. Stendher, who accompanied the King of Abyssinia's army in 1862, noticed that the natives were glad to get under cover at night—the officers in tents, the natives in grass huts. The Sappers appear to have been sent out under the influence of the following fascinating description of the high lands by Major Harris :—" Each fertile knoll is crowned with its peaceful hamlet. The cool moun tain zephyr is redolent of eglantine and jasmine, and the soft green turf, spangled with clover, daisies, and buttercups, yields at every step the aromatic fragrance of the mint and thyme." Un fortunately, it is not always May in Abyssinia. From Massowah (which lies 380 miles from Aden) to Magdala or Debra Tabor the distance is 350 or 400 miles, and to Gondar 300 miles. From An nesley Bay the distance is about 15 miles less. The route from the desert to the mountains we have already heard about from our correspondents, but according to the experience of other travellers the actual difficulties of the journey commence in the highlands. The greatest obstacle of all, the Taranta pass, may be evaded, as was pointed out by Dr. Beke, by taking the caravan road through Antalo and Socota—and this appears to have been decided on, the " Umtalla" mentioned by our occa sional correspondent as destined to be " post No. 3," being doubtless no other than Antalo. No two persons spell Abyssinian names in the same way, and hence Colonel James acknowledges that he has found some difficulty in tracing certain places on the map. Debra Tabor is, or was, the residence of King Theodore, and near to it—at Gaffat—his European workmen lived. Adowa is the capital of Tigre, and the second city in the kingdom. Au talo is another of the principal towns of Tigre, but, according to the French travellers, Ferret and Galinier, it contained only from 200 to 300 houses. The road from Antalo to Magdala is described by comparatively recent travellers. Drs. Beke and Krapf both traversed it in 1842, and as Krapf is with the expedition now his knowledge cannot fail to prove of great service. The routes vary, but they seem to correspond nearly in one feature --they are all rugged and beset with difficulties. Krapf speaks frepently of the inhospitality of the natives, but, as Colonel James reminds us, he travelled with very little money, and that is a cir cumstance which does not always invite hospitality in the most highly civilised countries. Travelling in April, Krapf wrote enthusiastically of some por tions of his journey, especially of the country around Totola "The whole scenery is so beautiful that I cannot recol lect ever having seen such a fine sight in Abyssinia. You can scarcely imagine that you are in Africa. The cool climate—the fresh and healthy air—the green plain, watered artificially by acqueducts from the river—the activity of the inhabitants in cultivation —the quantity of cattle grazing, and the multitude of travelling merchants whom you meet on the road with their goods—all those, and many other things, give the place an European ap pearance." But he warns the traveller to beware of certain troublesome tribes when Lasta and Agan are ap proached. They are called the Ana and the Raia Galtis, and they have never been subjugated by the Abyssinians "on account of their mountains, which appeared from a distance to extend to the very sky." A remark made by Colonel James suggests means by which these and other impedi , , • 'beitigliakannd Wang. The governors of all these provinces - lan% been in against the King, any} their feeling.towardwtho new invaders of their country jag not ypt been ascert4ined. Our letters, however, rpFently informed that the chief of Tigre hadprofessed.himself friendly t o th e expedi tiOn: I •Tigre and Shoa have" - always been in astate , of qurtsi-independente. = TheAbySsiniaus are principally ChriSfians of the Coptic sect. .

Nevertheless, it is said hlityltiiy - .roAn'vslorn the_ Alitina' , olactS4o** would be recognised as King by the people. Aiiiong the saints in the Abyssinian calendar, which is ex tremely extensive, are Balsam and his ass and Pontius Pilate and his wife. They fast so often that two-thirds of the year are assigned to absti nence. The Bishop of Jerusalem, Dr. Gobat, de scribes them as " very immoral and licentious, priest-ridden and bigoted, but hospitable to tra vellers, and with no cruelty in their disposition." The Shohoes, of whom late letters have frequently spoken, hold the Mahomedan religion, in common with many other tribes. The number of men which a King of Abyssinia could bring into the field against a foreign enemy is very uncertain, on account of the divisions be tween the chieftains. Major Harris, in the year 1840, accompanied a military expedition which started from Shoa, and observed that in advance of the army were borne a copy of the Bible and the ark of the Cathedral of St. Michael. Next came the King, then the band, mounted on donkeys, and after them the followers of every degree. There was also, according to Major Harris, another curi ous feature in the procession : " Forty dames and damsels professing the culinary art., with elaborately crisped beehive wigs, greased faces, be daubed with ochre, and arched blue eyebrows, were muffled in crimson-striped robes of cotton a demure assemblage, rigorously guarded on all sides by austere eunuchs, armed with long white wands. Beyond, far as the eye could penetrate the canopy of dust which hung over the horizon, every hill and valley swarms with masses of equestrians and pedestrians, henchmen, and camp followers, sumpter horses, asses, and mules, laden with tents, horns of old mead, and bags of provisions. Throngs of women carrying pitchers of beer and hydromel at their backs, and lads with glittering sheaves of spears upon their shoulders, leading gaily caparisoned war steeds —all mixed and crowded together in the most picturesque disorder and confusion." Theodore once had 60,000 men around him as an army, but now it is thought 5,000 would be an ex treme estimate. Considering that he sometimes butchers them at the rate of 2,000 a week, thi s great diminution in his army is not surprising, but of course the chief falling off has been occasioned by desertions. Mr. Duf ton asserts that in 1863 about 20.000 men carried percussion firearms, and the remainder swords and spears. The irregular army, some have thought, amounted to 100,000 mil. Part of the following passage has been thus far borne out by the news which we have published from Abyssinia : " Monsieur Legean considers that it is important that no cause should be given to the population to believe that the war is of a religious character. If Theodore could excite this belief, he thinks that the whole country mould join him. To a Christian army all Tigre would be friendly, and the country people, if they once get con fibnce, would be glad to furnish all sorts of supplies. They have a character for honesty and for keeping to agreements." _ _ Theodore is now about 47 years old, his real name being Kassa. He assumed the name of Theodorus because of an old prophecy which sets forth that an Emperor of that name would raise the kingdom of Abyssinia to a pitch of glory never before known. He has constantly been en gaged in warfare, and said to be " a man of great talent, courage, and energy." His complexion is dark, but his features arc European. He thinks much without being a drunkard. That he is a cruel monster at heart is proved by numerous accounts, especially by those received from time to time by the captives. Sometimes his victims have been carefully sewn up in wax clothes " and burnt like candles." Dr. Blanc wrote on the 18th of June, 1867 : " In the history of the world there is no parallel case. It is true tyrants and despots have wantonly spilt human blood; great conquerors Lavo overrun large tracts of country : out of 3,000,000 inhabitants ho has destroyed more than a third by war, famine, and murder. Nero, Attila, Tamerlane, were lambs when compared to Theo dorus. No man was ever so false, so treacherous ;no man held friendly or family ties so cheap. His own son, Ras HPshisha, is in chains. Ras Taga, whom he left in charge of his camp during his late expedition, was chained—a re ward for his fidelity on the return of his ungrateful master. We are not, therefore, astonished when we daily hear of fresh desertions." Mr. Flad also stated, in a letter of the 2d of July last, that within six weeks the King had put to death 4,000 persons. .4f.l,uces, 14e CC/1131f g a . .titude of sins. Our only fear is, judging from what has happened in Queensland, that Sir George 13O'Wen is just as likely to come into occasional colliiihn :with the Ministry as even Sir George Gr3yewas. 'As the new Governor is not to leive Queensland; until the arrival of his commission' and instructions,:a4d as they are not to be sent until the 2d of October mail, he has written to say that he will land in Wellington about Christmas. Sir George Grey will before that date retire to his pri vate•resideflce at Itawau, where he expects to re ceive.a visit from the Duke of Edinburgh when the Galatea Calls , - at Auckland. The change of Go- VettlOrS •at this particular moment is very unfor tunate, and will seriously interfere with the pro granune•of the Prince's reception. It was Sir George Grey's intention to escort his. Royal High ness overland from Tauranga, through Taupo, to The lake and hot spring districts would have afforded novel and enjoyable travel, and the effect of the Prince's presence at the great intended gathering of natives._ Would have left a lastingbeueficial effect on the peace of the country.

One of them related his adventures in the American war, another discussed Fenianism, and a third exhibited one of their 12-shooters, and, in return for the information which they had obtained, explained its construction to the gunners. It appeared to be a breech-loading revolver, and in taking out the cylinder one of the bullets fell to the ground. After remaining in the towel: over two hours, and ad ministering a form of oath to the soldiers that they would not identify them in case of their being arrested, at the same time warning them not to leave the spot until daybreak, as they would be in the neighbourhood and would shoot them, the gang withdrew. The artillerymen, finding they had gone, brought up some reserve cart ridges which had escaped notice, and, after securing the entrance to the tower, fired five shots from their gun on the roof, and waved a light as signals for assistance, but although passengers on the Queenstown Direct Railway, which was near, heard the firing, no attention was paid to it. Several shots were afterwards heard in the locality, which appeared to be discharged by persons practising with small arms. It is believed that the Fenians landed from boats. The story of the Fenian privateer off Cork is doubtful, but, as told with circumstantiality by the Cork Examiner, it is that, on the morning when the strange ship, or ships, were observed outside Queenstown Harbour, Captain Lynch, master of the Newfoundland barque Sarah Ann, reported having seen six boats, filled with armed men, rowing out of the harbour seaward. "He took them for men-of-war cutters." The ram Research, according to the tale, was in pursuit either of these boats or of the vessel to which they belonged, and a naval officer from her boarded the barque, and inquired whether her captain had seen the mysterious boats or heard shots. The Research and the Helicon went next morning to sea. Orders have been received directing that the arms an& ammunition in the martello towers in the Cork district shall be collected in the Haulbowline stores. By direction of Major-General Freeman Murray, the military guard on duty within Chatham Dockyard has been augmented, and the troops retained within the esta blishment the whole of the night, instead of leaving the dockyard at sunset, as has hitherto been the practice. Within the last few days a strong military guard has been posted within Fort Amherst, at Chatham, and the guard house removed within the fort, for the protection of the stores of Snider cartridges and other small arm ammuni tion stored in the magazines at the fort, a line of sentries communicating from the heights on which the magazine is built with the garrison both by day and night. The military guard at Hampton Court, as was expected, has been increased at the Royal Palace. A full company of the 56th Foot has arrived from Portland, and has taken up its quarters there. The day watching is principally left to the civilians, but at night sentries are placed all round the Royal Palace, and in all the approaches. After dark no one is allowed to pass without giving the sign, and, if not known, is not allowed to proceed without a guard with him. That part of the Palace which faces the river is most carefully guarded, and heavy iron gratings have been placed over the mouths of the sewer. The watch men and sentries are so arranged that there is a complete cordon round the whole place, and no one is left unsup ported. The Western Morning News reports that the utmost vigilance continues to be observed in Plymouth and Devon port and the neighbourhood to guard against any incen diary or hostile measures, or the landing of combustibles. At Bull Point, where in the capacious Royal powder magazines nearly five hundred tons of gunpowder are stored, these precautions are incessant, and very harassing to the officers and men so engaged. The mayors of Ply mouth and Devonport have received a circular from the Home Office,suggesting the swearing•in of special constables. The locks have again been removed from the . rifies in the Plymouth volunteer armoury. The coastguard are pro vided with their pistols and blue lights for signalling ; but the police have no arms except a wooden mace, and are, moreover, on duty in the open air for fourteen hours at a stretch. A matter requiring the most prompt and serious attention of the authorities, says the Western Morning News, is the large quantities of gunpowder which are stored in the neighbourhood without any efficient protec tion. At one place, we learn, as large a quantity as ten tons of gunpowder are deposited within five miles of the citadel, without any guard, and accessible to anyone who chooses to break open a door. If the authorities can not or will not take cognisance of these matters, the General commanding the district and the Port Admiral would do well to take up the subject. 40i10 .44.0 1 * . • - "'" - - —— , ------ ''......'

The West Indian newspapers received by the pre sent mail contain some interesting particulars in relation to the terrible earthquakes that recently devastated the Island of St. Thomas when the de structive hurricane had ceased. After the tidal wave and the earthquakes had destroyed the town, for about five days bread was very dear, the loz. loaf selling for 25 cents. The Government was com pelled to take decisive steps so that selfish traders might not, by the imposition of heavy charges for articles of daily consumption, add unduly to the severe distress of the community. Finding several stores had been closed and the merchants refused to do business, probably with the intention of running prices up to an exorbitant figure, the chief authorities ordered out a detachment of 100 soldiers, and in due order opened the closed buildings, took away to the court-house such necessaries as the inhabitants needed, and had them sold there under proper supervision. Rob beries were of daily occurrence in the town, and thieves were caught stripping copper from the wrecked vessels. On one occasion at night some scoundrels got up a sudden alarming cry, " The sea roller is coming !" Numbers of the inhabitants rushed wildly from their shelter, calling for mercy in the agony of fright. The authors of the alarm thereupon went into the vacant dwel lings and plundered everything they could find. The packet ships were obliged to anchor off the town on account of the difficulty of navigating the harbour because of the great number of wrecks there. In many places were to be seen masts and other ships gear above water, while all along the beach lay wrecks and portions of vessels. Every lighter in the har bour, as also every wharf round it, had gone to pieces. The damage done by the earthquakes was estimated at £30,000 —quite as great as that wrought by the hurricane. A ship of large tonnage, wrecked, was sold for pc A 64-pounder gun was blown from the fort on which it was mounted, and, making a circle, carried away the mast of a vessel anchored some distance from the spot. The number of lives lost by the hurricane and earthquakes toge ther is put down at 700—at least so many corpses have been interred. A number of dead bodies in the last stage of putrefaction were gathered from the harbour. So great was the consternation that many persons had left in droghers for the Leeward Islands. No intelligence whatever had been received from the other islands. Business in St. Thomas was almost suspended. Provisions, however, were no longer very scarce. NEW Music.—Another issue of new music, both vocal and instrumental, has just been made by Messrs. IL Cocks and Co., of Now Burlington-street, which will be particularly acceptable at this festive time of year. Amongst the new ballads we must specially mention— " Sunshine," by Miss Montmorency; " Far Away," by Miss Lindsey ; and "My Mother's Name," by the prolific song writer Mr. Wrighton, which will certainly secure many admirers, as they are very graceful melodies, and, at the same time, very nicely arranged. Amongst the new instrumental music we have the " Brighton Quadrilles," by Liebich, " Highland Home," by Lemoine, both being highly effec tive, and particularly lively. There are also two admir able fantasies—" Home they brought her Warrior Dead," by Kuhe, and "The Gipsy Countess," by Rockstro, of more than ordinary brilliancy. The new addition to the music for the pianoforte is particularly well-timed. It will prove a valuable addition to the repertoire of every instru mentalist possessing judgment and good taste, and will at the same time form a very acceptable New Year's gift. [ADVERTISEMENT.] --Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Much watchfulness must be exercised as winter advances, and the earliest evidences of ill-health must be immedi ately checked or removed, or a slight illness may result in a serious malady. Relaxed and sore throat, diphtheria, quinsey, throat cough, chronic cough, bronchitis, and most other pulmonary affections, will be relieved by rubbing this cooling ointment into the skin as near as possible to the seat of mischief. This treatment, so simple and effec tive, is admirably adapted for the removal of these diseases during infancy and youth. Old asthmatic invalids will derive marvellous relief from the use of Holloway's reme dies, which have brought round many such sufferers, and re-established health after every other means had signally failed.
