The redoubtable THEODORE of Abyssinia, who has succeeded among his other achievements in ex citing more comment in Europe than any of his predecessors on the semi-barbaric throne, is safely ensconced at Magdala. Happily the great anxiety which was naturally felt on account of the captives, on the first receipt of this news, lias: been a good deal allayed by the intelligence that he treats them with marked courtesy, freely discussing the par ticulars of the British advance without giving the slightest hint of his own intentions. It would seem that he intends offering strong resistance, since he is entrenching himself, and getting stores, &c. Possibly he is relying on his big gun to keep the obnoxious invaders at bay, but he has yet to learn what can be done by a daring and well-directed attack. He has had to change his plan of defence, owing to an unexpected change in the movements of the British. A blunder has been made, accidentally, of course, in the selection of the road from Antalo to Muzno. Colonel PHAYRE, who is no incompetent or inexperienced judge, selected the route by which the pioneer force were to travel from Antalo to Muzno, owing to incorrect information supplied him, by WALDA YASONS, an Abyssinian chief. What his reasons were for directing the Colonel to take the longer instead of the shorter route are not cer tain ; but it has been suggested that the shorter route led too near his own fortress ; and, again, that he thought that the longer the army was on the road, the more profit he and his people would gain by furnishing supplies. the march, according to WALDA'S route, was most arduous and tedious, and eight or ten days at least have been lost by the mistake. The best proof of the loss of time is that Sir ROBERT NAPIER by a double march suddenly arrived at Muzno, leaving every one behind him, and astonishing those who were waiting there, and it is believed intends to keep to the front. Of course in a strange country it is necessary to depend in a great measure on the in formation received, but it would be well, if possible, to get it from more than one source, so as to check one story by another. It is said, though we do not know with how much truth, that a few hours' ride by an exploring officer might have saved the force all the delay and trouble, and it would certainly be wiser another time to adopt that course. At any rate Sir ROBERT NAPIER ii fairly en route for Magdala, and since TIIOWDORE seems at present to think discretion the better part of valour, we may yet come to terms without blood shed, and we may hear before long that the cap tives will be safe in the charge of their European rescuers. The intelligence which we receive by the Java mail steamer respecting the progress of the Im peachment trial is full of interest, and we are glad to find that the Senate has in some measure vindi cated its own character as an independent legisla tive assembly, and preserved something of the dignity belonging to a high judicial court. The Impeachment trial, as we know, recommenced on March 30th, when Mr. BUTLER, formerly the General of more notoriety than fame, opened the prosecution in a long speech. We may easily guess with what eager animosity and virulence Mr. BUTLER would pour forth the vials of his wrath upon the offending PRESIDENT. No two men could he more diametrically opposed in character or in sentiments. We all know what were General BUTLER'S views with regard to the treat ment of the conquered Southerners, and even allow ing a good deal for the angry passions belonging to civil war, we cannot suppose that had BENJAMIN BUTLER ruled at the White House instead of ANDREW JOHNSON there would have been any ground for complaint of his excessive leniency. Mr. BUTLER, in his speech, declared that Mr. JOHNSON had no authority to question the constitutionality of the acts of Congress, but was bound to enforce them. BUTLER, like other leading Radicals, seems inclined to paraphrase the Grand Monarque's famous aphorism, and to affirm that the Congress is the Constitution. Whatever laws it makes, whatever changes it introduces, whatever old tradi tions it overthrows, or fundamental principles it outrages, its acts are still constitutional. What is more, like CASAR'S wife, it is above suspicion, and he who dares to question its constitutionality puts himself in the wrong. These gentlemen had better refer to their dictionaries and learn the mean ing of the word " President," which they appear to believe means an inferior, not a superior —a subordinate official, not the acting head of a State. BUTLER contends that Mr. LINCOLN'S appointment of Mr. STANTON was binding upon his successor, as Mr. JOHNSON was only serving out Mr. LINCOLN'S unexpired term. BUTLER objectB to compliance with anything like the ordinary forms of civil law. The Senate, he says, during the trial, ought to be governed by Parliamentary rules only ; and the Chief Justice during the trial acted only as presiding officer, without judicial powers. This question, however, has been settled, and in a manner which reflects credit on the Senate. The day after BUTLER'S speech a dispute arose !respecting the admission of certain evidence. Chief-Justice CHASE gave his decision on the point, whereupon several Senators appealed from it, and denied that he could claim judicial powers. A division took place, in which the Chief- Justice was supported by 31 against 19 votes, and a rule was adopted giving him power to direct all the forms and procedure of the trial, to rule on questions of evidence, and at his option to submit them to the Senate. This is an important gain, in asmuch as it elevates the trial from a mere party gathering, whose proceedings are only worthy of contempt, to a constitutional assembly deliberatin g on a grave national question. It shows, too, th t the noisy and unscrupulous party have not the ascendancy in the Senate which they unfortunately still maintain in the House of Representatives, and there are consequently less grounds for apprehend ing that the long talked-of trial will either bring the American Constitution into contempt or open anew the floodgates of civil war. Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH has been figuring away at Manchester before the Reform Club of that city. The chairman, Mr. RAwsoN, contrived, in the course of his remarks, to give a little salutary advice to the members of the Reform party, and told them that if they had supported Mr. GLAD STONE more efficiently they would have had a better Reform Bill than the one which has lately obtained the sanction of Parliament. He regretted the mi nority scheme in the representation, concluding by the astounding remark-that Manchester would very probably stand as one in the next Parliament, whereas by right she ought to have five or six mem bers in the House. Mr. JACOB BRIGHT'S speech was in the usual style, and he dwelt at some length upon the recent decision that had taken place on Mr. GLADSTONE'S Resolutions. After discoursing some time upon the question of the future majori ties which Mr. GLADSTONE could hope for, Mr. BRIGHT treated his hearers to some of his own views on the subject of the resignation of the Government. The great majority of the Liberal side think that Mr. DISRAELI should make way for Mr. GLADSTONE, but some believe that it was not necessary to be " too ardent" on that point. After stating that he himself had no anxiety, because he firmly believed that the pre sent Administration would not long remain as they were, the hon. member proceeded to do his best to expedite their departure by a series of taunts and invectives, most damaging, no doubt, in the opinion of the assembly to which they were addressed, but which we daresay the Government will survive. It was at any rate amusing to hear that the Minis try were put in a minority because they had no policy, because Mr. GLADSTONE only had the start in this respect by a week or so. As for their having no control whatever over the legislation of the House, that is very ridiculous, when they carried a Reform Bill through it, which successive Liberal Administrations found themselves incompetent to perform. It would be more the truth if we affirmed that the present Go vernment had only too much policy to please cer tain parties, and that they entertained grave sus picions as to obtaining too much popular favour. Mr. JACOB BRIGHT concluded his very impressive observations by asserting that he should be very happy to give a vote that would put an end to the existence of the present Government, which no doubt was the passage in his speech most to be relied on, and which he felt most deeply. Mr. GoLDwaT SMITH evidently had his cue, and contrived to please his audience by saying that the men who passed the Reform Bill did not know what they were doing. He must say that for origi nality of idea and extreme intolerance of opinion, no one can do better than listen to the speeches delivered by:those who would set the world to rights their own Iway, and are disappointed if any one else succeeds in outwitting them. The minorities clause was framed in order that the Upper House of Parliament might show the " exceeding goodwill which they enter tained towards the great constituencies which return Mr. JOHN and Mr. JACOB BRIGHT." There is one thing particularly noticeable in all these speeches, and that is the extraordinary way in which different things appear, though viewed ap parently through the same medium. Thus a majority for Mr. GLADSTONE like a thing of beauty is a joy for ever, and must always influence public opinion, and form a region in political history and Parliamentary records ; but the triumph of the Government, whenever it took place is a transient thing, a mere mistake, and only to be looked upon with doubt and suspicion. Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH found himself in a sort of dilemma, but he boldly plunged forward, and to the argument put forth against the Liberals, as to why they did not introduce the question of the Irish Church before, he answered that Lord STANLEY brought forward an amendment, and why did he not say before what he said in that amendment ? Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH spoke very sensibly in one passage of his speech, where he declared that the case should not be put too strongly against our own country, for that the conduct of the English people towards Ireland since the time of the Catho lic Emancipation had, on the whole, been kind and good, "in intention at least." The Prince of WALES'S Visit will not do much good to Ireland, Mr. SMITH thinks, because the Irish are clear sighted enough to see that it is done to conci liate them, and that argument may truly apply to the necessary reforms which Mr. GLADSTONE'S po licy would hasten on ; but we ag ree w ith th e s p e aker in this, that it would have been better if these Royal visits had not so closely resembled those of angels, for the Irish are just the kind of people to take umbrage at this sort of thing, or consider it an oversight. Concerning the education question, Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH was against the compulsory mode proposed by some, and popular to some extent in Manchester. " You cannot devise a system," he said, "worked by the Central Government, which shall suit all parts of the country," and if you put a child to school instead of work there will " be disadvantages at home which will counteract the benefit acquired at school." Improving our local institutions will no doubt be a very desirable thing to do, and if more political knowledge could be diffused among the com munity, no doubt important results would follow on it. Mr. GOLDWINSMITH led his remarks again to Mr. GLADSTONE, declaring that he had the greatest confidence in him, and that he showed himself the " man," because it was the " hour ;" rather an equivocal compliment, some might say, who were inclined to be rational. He also uttered some truths about the Liberal party, intimating that they had become thoroughly demoralised by a long tenure of power, but that in Opposition they had recovered their virtue, and he is consequently in no hurry to see them restored to power for their own sakes. He is compelled, however, to desire the exodus of the present Government, because they are sapping the roots of English honour by their conduct; they carried a Reform Bill, but by means so demoralising that it greatly detracted from the value of the measure. It is always a sure sign that there is something wrong when such a line of argument as this has to be kept up, and if we are to lGok for the real explanation of this talk about the insincerity of the Conservative leaders, we should find it in the fact that they have done good service to their country, and continued to carry measures which their oppo nents could not and would not. That is an un pardonable offence, and has called forth the indig nation of all zealous and extreme partisans, but a quiet reflection would show themselves and others that they are acting an inconsistent part themselves, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 11, 1868 for if it was the principle of the thing they cared about they would not trouble themselves so much about secondary causes, and in rejoicing that the " hone' had come for the fulfilment of their wishes, they would be indifferent as to whether they were or were not the men who had brought about the de sirable result.

" Peace or war 7" is still almost the only question dis cussed. The Constitutionnel's assurance that France de sires peace, but that if there is to be a general disarma ment other countries must set the example, does not count for much, at least not in favour of peace. Nearly all the papers comment upon it. The Sikle says that the Constitutionnd has completely failed in its object, if that object was to reassure "alarmed public opinion." The Debats points out that other nations have as much right to ask France to set the example of disarmament as she has to ask them. The LiberM (i.e., 31. Emile Girardin, whose statements are always received with great deference) says : "France armed as she now is, war is certain." The Epoque, a paper friendly to the Government, says that if the nations do not desire war, " they are at least on the qui vice, and distrust each other.' The UltirM says that the article of the Constitutionnel has a double meaning, and may signify peace or war. The 31onde (both of these two last papers represent the clerical party) declares that the article is more calculated to alarm than to reassure. The Union considers the article a riddle, but knows that we are sustaining the charges of war without the benefits of peace. The Gazette de France laments the article as a proof that France means to arm to the teeth by sea and land, and to devote to the engines of war the millions that should be spent on the implements of peace. The Temps considers the language of the article most unfortunate, and certainly points to, rather than from, war. The Avenir National says that so far from calming apprehensions, this article increases them. In fact, it is only the semi-official papers like the Patrie, the France, and the Etendard that find any com fort in M. Limayrac's famous leader. I should add, how tver, that the Independance Beige, a well-informed journal, does not see any reason to fear an immediate outbreak of hostilities, and states positively that the Danish question has not " ripened" sufficiently for French intervention. Nevertheless, it seems to be admitted by the more pacific that Marshal Niel is determined to place France in the same position that Prussia was in 1866—able to strike a decisive blow on the shortest notice. One of the most encouraging signs in the midst of so touch that is discouraging is the attitude assumed by the democratic journals. They are strongly in favour of peace. They constantly point out what enormous sums are being squandered on armaments, and persistently urge the advan tages that would arise if these sums were devoted to the arts of peace. As these journals have a circulation far larger than that of the Government journals, it is to be assumed that the nation really desires peace, and it is to be hoped that the Emperor will take the general feeling of the community into account. The meeting of the Corps L4gislatif is postponed from the 16th till the 20th, and the reason assigned for the delay is the impossibility of the Budget being got ready by the earlier day. This incident has given rise to much com ment, and it is supposed to indicate a larger loan than was at first mentioned, the extra sum to be devoted, of course, to military purposes. In fact, everything now is supposed to point to the same result. 4 fhe visit of the Danish Al inister of War (who by the way has resigned that post), the sudden summons to Paris of the French Minister at Florence, and a rumoured, but of course unfounded, incognito visit of Bismarck, are all looked upon as signs of war. The report of the Empress's visit to Rome, so often rumoured, is revived. It is now said that her Majesty will take the Prince Imperial with her, to receive the Pope's blessing, after the Prince has made his first communion. which, as I have mentioned, takes place on the 20th. A State document has just been published which shows that Baron Haussmann has been outrunning the constable. The " Emperor of Paris " has been spending far beyond the sums he was authorised to spend. In 1865 the city of Paris was authorised to borrow £10,000,000. The " Emperor " has borrowed £BOO,OOO more than that amount. The city has also borrowed, without leave, £400,000 of one house, and £920,000 of the Crddit Foncier. Altogether £2,200,000 have been borrowed "irregularly." It remains to be seen if the Corps Legislatif will take notice of this. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Herald attaches considerable importance to the article in the Constitutionnd already referred to, in which the always Imperially in• spired 7T. Paulin Limayrac denies that France is desirous of war, and calls upon other nations to set the example of disarming. The correspondent, however, so far from thinking the article pacific, holds it to be the reverse, and intended as an answer to one in the St. Peters burg Golos, which calls upon the Russian and Prus sian Governments to summon France to disarm. The Golos says : " The armaments of France are a danger for the peace of the world, and, by hook or by crook, Europe must be disburdened of the crushing mili tary expenses which the attitude of France entails upon her. The simplest way would be for Russia and Prussia simultaneously to apply to France for an immediate dis armament, promising to follow her example. No doubt that would be a grave step—an interference in the domestic concerns of the French Empire ; but there is no help for it, and it is called for by the general interests of Europe." There is to be a review of the French fleet at Cherbourg after Easter. The Emperor and the Empress will be present. The Florence correspondent of the Times states that Baron Malaret's sudden departure for Paris has caused considerable comment. It is rumoured that the French Minister at the Italian Court has gone to the French :apital in order to make arrangements for a new treaty of alliance between Italy and France, Which will unite those two Powers in the war with Prussia which so many persons believe to be impending. The correspondent does not be lieve in any such treaty, thinking that Italy has so much to do at home that she will hold herself aloof from foreign complications. The Opposition in the Italian Parliament seem to have given up their attempt to obstruct the financial policy of the Government, and now absent themselves from the debates. The meal tax will come into operation on June 1. The income tax has been extended to the coupons of the funds. No exemption has yet been made in behalf of foreign holders, but it is supposed that Count Cambray- Digny will provide for them, and so avoid the charge of breach of faith which would be made if they were taxed. The Spectator believes that Mr. Disraeli will not quit (ace " until taken out by the collar." The Government will, therefore, fight the resolutions one by one. If de feated at last, they will intimate to her Majesty that they cannot recommend an affirmative reply to an address asking for the Irish Church as a prey. Nor could they advise the Queen to reject a prayer sent up by a large majority. They would, therefore, consult the country ; but in deference to the feelings of Parliament and clear expediency, they would defer the dissolution until January, when the new electorate conies into power. This view is concurred in by other papers representing various degrees of political opinion. It is held that Minis ters have no intention of resigning or of immedi ately appealing to the country. One account is to the effect that her Majesty has made a special request to Mr. Disraeli that he will not resign during the present crisis, and that he has pledged himself not to do so. The Queen has no difficulty or scruple about the coronation oath, but hesitates to part with a portion of her preroga tive until she has ascertained that it is the will of the nation she should do so. The Churchman states that the " recent developments of Mr. Gladstone have alienated many of his supporters in South Lancashire, and it is believed that, instead of again facing that constituency, lie will offer himself as a candidate for the City of London. Preliminary election proceedings on the right hon. gentleman's behalf have already been made, and either Alderman Lawrence or Baron Rothschild will have to go to the wall, in order to make way for the Liberal leader. It has long been thought that Baron Rotbschild's continued ill-health may induce him voluntarily to retire. The wealthy baron is seldom in the House except on the occasion of an impor tant division. A preliminary meeting of influential gentlemen, repre senting the various sections of the Liberal party in Chel tenham, has been held in that borough, to receive Mr. Henry B. Samuelson, eldest son of the hon. member for Banbury, and to hear a statement of his political views. Mr. Samuelson having addressed the meeting at some length, it was unanimously resolved that, subject to his acceptance by a public meeting of the Liberal electors, lie should be invited to become a candidate for the represen tation of Cheltenham at the next election. The borough is now represented by Mr. Schreiber, who in 1865 polled 1,157 votes, beating the present Lord Fitzhardinge by 23. There is a rumour to the effect that Mr. Kennaway, a son of Sir John Kennaway, will be a candidate for the representation of one of the new divisions of Devonshire. Mr. Kennaway is the author of an interesting work, entitled "On Sherman's Track," and dealing with the famous march of that general through Georgia in the autumn of 1864. It is stated that on the retirement of Mr. Cumming Bruce from the representation of Elgin and Nmirn, Lieutenant-Colonel Grant of Grant intends to become * caildiclato for the repromtgica Q the tui494 Q 9414101. REVENGE BY A DISCARDED LOVER. In the Dundee Circuit Court, before Lords Cowan and .Ardmillan, Annie Douglas, power-loom weaver, Dundee, was charged with assault, by throwing sulphuric acid, to the permanent or severe injury of the person, on Friday, the Bth of November last, on James Main, mason. The accused pleaded guilty to assault at common law. The prisoner became acquainted with Main, and about the month of September he came under a promise to marry her. In October, after the promise had been made, he succeeded in overcoming her. She was seized with remorse, and, being naturally of an excitable and irritable temper, she was thrown into a state of distraction. Shortly after her mental excitement was greatly aggravated by a letter which she received from Main, which was produced in court, and is as follows : " Dundee, Oct. 11, 1867. " Miss Douglas,—i write you this few lines to let you know my oppinion of you now, you had been at my lodgings seeking me last night i understand, and you had been on Saturday night, but you need not come back, for realy i t',,ink you very imposing, but you need not think that i am so great fool as would show that you are the first one that came to my Lodgings house after me and praying into my character the way that you have been doing, so i am not so green as you would take to be, so you will better be looking out for another, as i intend being with another to-night. I have told my Landlady to give you a short answer, so if i have said or done any wrong i hope i will be forgiven by a high power, for ido not care for you. so in hops never to see you again on this earth i remains your Well Wisher (Signed) "JAMES MAIN. " You may write me if you please, but i will never answer it." This letter greatly aggravated the state of mind into which the prisoner had been thrown, and immediately on receipt of it she went to her clergyman and confided to him the whole circumstances. When she came to him she was in a state of frenzy. By a taunt she afterwards received from a woman on the street, who had become acquainted with the circumstances, she sought out Main, and up- braided him for his faithless conduct. The only answer which she got from him was to go away and not bother him. That answer was twice repeated, and in a moment of desperation she committed the crime to which she had pleaded guilted. She had been already. five months in prison, and was the only support of her aged father and mother. injuries done to Main were trifling. Lord Cowan, in passing sentence op the prisoner, said : There can be no doubt that the man, whose person you assaulted in the way described, did commit towards you the most grievous of all offences that a man can commit upon a young female. We have every reason to believe that you were courted by him lawfully and rightly : but he betrays you, ruins you, and then writes that unfeeling— I must say brutal letter to you. Under the provocation that letter naturally created in you, you were not in full possession of your own mental rectitude. You could not have thought of committing a crime which, had you not been in such a state of irritation, your mind would have rejected as wrong. As you have already suffered five months' imprisonment, the sentence of the court is that you be imprisoned for the period of eight calendar months. HORRIBLE DISCOVERY AT HACKNEY. A horrible discovery has been made at Hackney Wick, be the immediate vicinity of the old Hackney Wick or Victoria Park station on the North London Railway, a new street has been recently built running down to the railway - embankment, and known as Elgin-place. Several of the houses in it have remained for some time unfinished. In the last week of December they were swept out and secured, the front doors being screwed up and a bar placed across them, and the back doors bolted. The windows, however, were simply put in and not fixed, leaving access possible by this means. It appears that the owner and builder, Mr. Dabbs, of Belvidere, Surrey, had recently determined to complete them, and about half-past three o'clock on Thursday afternoon one of his carmen, named Edward Aforris, was instructed to leave a load of sash weights at the house No. 21 in the street. As soon, however, as he had opened the door he perceived an offer• sive smell, and called to the foreman, Thomas Newsom, and told him to go into the house and find out the cause. He did so, and looked into the various rooms. He found nothing but a black kid glove in the back loom on the ground floor. On opening a cupboard beneath the stair case on the same floor, however, the smell was found to proceed from it. The two men obtained a light, and or returning with it they found, to their horror, the dead body of a man fully dressed, with his head towards the door, and in a reclining position, lying against the side of ti_ s cupboard. Newsom immediately made his master acs quainted with the circumstance, and he instantly commu nicated with Inspector Gibbons, of the Hackney sub division of police, and the coroner's officer. Dr. Powell, of Gainshorough-road, who was also called in and inspected the body, gave an opinion that it had been dead two to three months. The police authorities sent Sergeant W. Foden, 23 N, to the spot, who made every inquiry, hut was unable to find the slightest clue by which to identify the deceased. The body, under the direction of Dr. Tripe, the medical officer of the Hackney district, was wrapped in a sheet, well soaked with Cundy's disinfecting fluid, and conveyed to the Hackney mortuary at the old tower in the churchyard. The face is that of an evidently intellectual man, the forehead is broad, and the features are well chiselled. The hair, moustache, and beard are matted with blood, but the eyes have been completely destroyed. Over the right eyebrow is a deep depression ; as though a fearful blow had been inflicted. The right hand lies open, while the left is convulsively clinched. The hands are soft and delicate, as if the deceased had been quite unused to manual labour, and, with the general appearance and dress, seem to indicate that he occupied a respectable position in society. lie may have been a sea faring man, as his trousers, waistcoat, and coat are of the customary blue cloth, nicely cut, of fine quality, and well made. On the person of the deceased no pocket•handker chief, peril, scrap of paper, or small article of any description was found. A " billycock hat" and the pair of leather slippers which he had been we ir:ng were found close to his head, and also a single blucher boot and a frock coat of good make, but very much worn. The lappels of this coat are torn, and the arms and back Leas numerous stains of blood. The dress of the deceased when the body was found was disarranged, and the braces, which are much stained with blood, appear to have been broken in a struggle. There can be little doubt that the deceased has been murdered, and the body secreted in the cupboard where it was found, an entrance to the house having been obtained from the window at the back, which looks out on the marshes, as any person entering from the front would have been observed from the houses on the opposite side, which are tenanted. The blood -stained old frock-coat could not have been worn by the deceased beneath his pilot-coat, and the single blucher boot shews that some one else beside the murdered man must have been inside the house and had access to the cupboard in which the body was found. The police were actively engaged on Friday in making inquiries, but no one has been missed in the neighbour. hood during the period in which the murder must have been committed, and there is at present no clue to . a solu tion of the mystery. The age of the deceased must have been about 34 or 35, and his height 51t. fiin. to Mt. 7in. The face is not so much disfigured but that relatives or friends might identify the body. THE TICHBORNE BARONETCY.-All application will be made to the Lord Chancellor to transfer the case of ' Tichborne v. Mostyn and others," from the court of Vice-Chancellor Giffard_ to another court, his Honour having been counsel fox the claimant. No objection, it is expected, will be made to the motion. WESTMINSTER ABBEY.—Notice has been given that the annual series of special evening services in the nave of Westminster Abbey will commence on Sunday, the 19th inst. The opening sermon will be preached by the Dean of Westminster, and that on the 26th inst. by the Very Rev. Dr. Harvey Goodwin, Dean of Ely. It is said that Dr. Stanley has invited Father Ignatius (the Rev. J. Leycester Lyne) to preach one of the sermons. THE COLLIERS' STRIKE.—A proposal has been made to submit the question in dispute between the mas ters and men in South Lancashire to arbitration. A placard has appeared on the walls of Wigan announcing that the Mayor was willing to give his services as arbitrator, and to sit in open court to hear both parties. The writer urged the miners' agents to adopt the suggestion, and the miners' committee have replied in a bill, which states that they are quite willing to accept arbitration on fair and honourable terms, namely, an equal number of masters and men to arbitrate, taking the price of coal and the miners' wages from 1862 up to the present time, some independent gentleman to be selected as umpire. Th e publication of this statement has not hitherto produced any response fr,m the masters. At a fortnightly meeting of delegates, held at Mrs. Litter's, Denton-green, the following resolntion was unanimously adopted : " That, in the opinion of this meeting, riot, intimidation, or violence of any sort is not only illegal, but, tinder present circumstances, is calculated to injure the cause of the working collier in the struggle with the masters ; and that this meeting unanimously reprobates and condemns all such intimidation, riot, and violence, and will not in any way countenance or justify the same ; and further declares that the society has nothing whatever to do with any acts of violence that may have occurred, such acts being the acts of individuals, and not committed with either the consent or connivance pf ,the society," W.g% s rfin t t 1 „cztk-f 7_ 4 7 Dr, • tvi HER MAJESTY.

Burns, Oates, and Co. Several books having especial relation to the Abys sinians have already made their appearance from the press in this country since the commencement of the war between England and Abyssinia, but not one amongst them all is in any way compar able to the present charming volume either in sustairced interest or in intrinsic importance. Lady Ilerbert speaks of it in her Preface as a trans lation, without, however, affording any clue as to either the original author of the work, or the lan guage from which it has bee❑ translated by her fluent and indefatigable pen. Judging from the title-page alone, we should have been led to regard the volume as one of Lady Herbert's own produc tions. It matters little enough, however, to the reader of it, whether the book be original or translation—for, viewed in any light, for such as it is, it is charming. Incidentally it affords a _ _ vivid glimpse at once of the past history sad of the present condition of Abyssinia. Incidentally, also, it describes—very opportunely—the origin, the career, the rise, the power, the daring, the cruelty, and the general character (all of them extraordinary) of the remarkable Ad venturer now the ruler of the Abyssinians and the foe of England. Although his career as a sol dier dates back now over fifteen years, he is still only thirty-five years of age—having risen from the position of a common soldier in the ranks to the supreme power which he has for so many years wielded over the whole of that immense country with its vast population. Born the son of a poor peasant, Cassa has by mingled audacity and in trigue assumed to himself the name, style, and title of the Emperor Theodoros. He has changed his sword into a sceptre. He has drawn over his sol dier's uniform the robes of sovereignty. What is here said of him, however, is said of him, as we have remarked, only incidentally. The real hero of Lady Herbert's book is no mere worldly adventurer, like Cassa, otherwise the Emperor Theodoros. It is one no less worthy of the name of hero than the Abouna Jacob, or, in other words, Monsignor Justin de Jacobis, the Apostle of Abyssinia. Sixty years of age when his noble career was completed, Monsignor de Jacobis had given twenty years of his life to his apostolate in Ethopia. As the Apostle of Abyssinia he was the means, under God, of bringing 25,000 souls to the knowledge of the divine truths of Christianity. The beautiful record here given of his earthly career—comprised within the compass of nine enthralling chapters—re lates the whole of the more remarkable inci dents of that career from the date of his birth, on the 10th of October, 1800, to that of his death on the 31st of July, 1860. The book should be read in its entirety. It is worthy of perusal and preservation afterwards on our book-shelves, not only as a contribution of con siderable value and importance to the history of Abyssinia, but, what is of far more import, as a contribution also to modern hagiography. As hon ourable alike to the recipient of it, to the theme of the book, and to the Translator, the Dedication of the little volume is so charming of its kind, that we are tempted to echo it here as an excerpt—it running as follows :—" To the Very Rev. Herbert Vaughan, D.D., founder of the Missionary College at Mill-hill, this humble translation of the life of one in whose footsteps he needs not the will but only the opportunity to follow, is affectionately and reppectfully inscribed." Laying down the book, now that we have read and reviewed it. we J° 80 ---not for the first time—with a sense of obligation to Lady Herbert. MARKETS—(This Day.) --•~- COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. The public markets are closed for the Easter holidays, but privately there is a good inquiry for several of the pri mary articles, and rates tend upwards for tea and sugar whilst they are very firm for nearly every description of produce.
