1 IL—Before leaving Windsor it was settled.
by the Queen in Council that the new Par-
liament should stand prorogued from the 2nd
to the g Ith of November —still the Globe,
whose inspiration is believed to he, at least,
semi-official, and in fact directly Palmer.
stanian,—Lord Palmerston having been
knows to write leaders in the Globe before
,now—alleges that there is, for all that, '
no earthly reason why the House should be
called together before February. We do not
therefore suppose it will be so. Satisfied
with the inevitable result of the elections,
even faction will be well content to lean upon
its oars. *The Tory party now find they have
nothing to gain by fiction, a thing to which, as
conservatives, they must, of course, be ettn: ,
stitutionally averse; and the liberal party
I that they have nothing to lose by biding their
time and remaining quiet. Meanwhile the ,
letter are contenting themselves, at various
points signalised by battle and victory in the
late election contests, with celebrating the
return of Liberal members, and aiding in
the confirmation of sound principles of
political progress by the effective attestations
of popular festive demonstrations. At
Worcester this has been the case; and but
that the season for civic banqueting has
scarcely yet set in, or rather that autumn
tottrlsta and defiside ekcuraionists have only
fast set out oft their vacation travels, we
should hale more such instances to record.
Thus *e see that in one Way or another the
voice of the &nutty, *liithetek*ily it May be
pronounced, will never fail to audit itself and
proclaim the asoendancy of the views prevail-
' ing in the public mind.

lII.—A certain degree of interest having
in this district of the country been imparted,
to the Abyssinian Captives Question by the
statements of Sir Henry Drummond Wolff
during his candidature for Dorchester, we
reproduce the Times neiVapaperso version of
Dr. Beke's revelations regarding that portion
of our Foreign policy. With every desire to
be impartial ourselves' we must say that it is
difficult to understand the diplomatic vagaries
or our Foreign Office. But the following
strictures are not even ours ; they are given
on the beet informed authority we possess
tilt itrees

Dr. Beke, in • letter, the fact of which may, tee tie-
liens, be implicit; relied on, tells us that the arrest of
Consul Cameron was not in any degree his own fault,
but arose from the change in the policy of the British
Government eith regard to Abyssinia. As nobody
knew what the policy of the British Government with
regard to Abyssinia WIC it was not very likely that we
rhouli know what the change in that policy has been,
Old the revelittititi of Dr; Beke, therefore, conies upon
us with double piquancy. t atipetrin tsesl thet our
policy towards Abyasinia has been to eountenance het
in hex struggle to maintain her independence against the
Turks, who, th ugh, nominally at least, the conquerors
of Egypt and Arabia, have never been able to conquer
this remote province, inhabited by a people hostile to
Islamism, and professing a degraded form of Christi-
anity. In 1849 we appear to have executed • treaty
with the then Sovereign of Abyssinia, and by this means
t 8 bare rem/rifted bim sago independent potentate, and
to have negatived the clink of Thrkey; thee supporting
Abyssinia splint Turkey much in the same at ag a
few years later we supported Turkey herself against
ROPOlia. Dr. Gobat, the Bishop of that See of Jerusalem
which in an hour of singular un wisdom we founded in the
deminimus of another Sovereign, with the assiatance of
our good friend iind dear ally, the King of Prussia, went, it
appears, en a missionary tour Info Abyssinia before be
was made Bishop, in 1846, and the Abyssinian pilgrims
tti Jerusalem who appeared to be very enthusiastic, and
actuated by the grossest superstition, were placed under
the spiritual care of this Primo-Anglican prelate, Of
eourse, like most Bishops of the English Church in
foreign parts, Dr. Ocibat soon f•wind his way back to
London, td. induced the then Government—we know
not Whet et AO of Lordllerby ut of Lord Russell, for
the affair plies it 12 ,—to send irettruotionli to our
Consul at Jerusalem to oat his good (Zeta oh behalf of
the Abyssinian inhabitants in that city, so as to protect
them against the Turks or any one else, and this protec-
torate lasted for ten years. The Copts and Armenians
in Jerusalem kept up a constant annoyance of the
Abyssinians, and, finally, taking an unhandsotne advan-
tage of the factlthat all the Abreeinten monks had died of
the plague, destroyed their titiedeecia, took possession
of their bottvent, and sold it to the Russians for ditty
thongs* roubles, es it woulthseein, with the appreval
of the Terkiliti e &sperm i'heedore re,
taliated for these injuries ; illtredting the Coptiel
Patriarch. The Abyssinians were expelled from Jena
ealem, the British Consul declining to interfere on their
behalf, on the ground that they were Turkiah subjec's,
and arrived in a state of destitution and misery at their
native country, much to the indignation of the Emperor.
It appesre, also, that we agreed id the treaty of 1849 to
keep open the avenues of approach betwixt the sea coast
and Abyssinia, whereas we have emleented to the
aeejniaition by Egypt from Turkey of the territory of
Mossoviab„whitili is the only aceessi from Abyssinia to

I suppose we have shout bad our run of. local In-
dustrial Exhibitions here, and at least one consider-
able failure warned people that it was time to give
up these undertakings until a reasonable lapse of
tirne should make them a novelty once more. Not.
withstanding that ours were supposed to be exhibi-
tions confined to certain localities of the metropolis,
by some bait, rhea of the gfeitest attractions in
I the first display of the kind re-appeared
,in Bribes-
(point ones, until the freshttees of these projects wore
tiff altogether. The good folks of Heading, however,
have waited a local exhibition, and I hope, as I
believe, that it will be successful. With the e.ln,/ of
a bishop to open it, the preliminary condition of
success for an English undertaking is secure&
The bishop made a very sensible speech, too, which
, he could h.rdly help doing, seeing tbat his business
consists in a great measure of speech-making, and he
I certainly would never have attained to the episoopal
' twat if he had not bad a fair share of sense. 1
' remember bearing a very utilitarian gentlemen, who
I bad not much res esit for royalty, observe, respecting
the late Prince Consort, when his usefulness was
, questioned by someone else still less reverent, " Ohi
he's very useful to lay foundation stones, or open
I public institutions." Now, recognising that the
Primo fulfilled much higher funetioas than this, and
that bishops do also, it is worth while doing some-
thing to be gpittecisted even by worldly-minded
men; and, with the late total (wimple before them,
bishops cannot nail it in Ira riif/. to follow the later
one of Samuel Oxoniensis.

I notice that the Marquis of Westminster has jest
subscribed £2,000 towards the building of a new church
at Shafiesbury. In 'reading this lam reminded of the
gross injustice of Punch, who, at intervals, for years,
libelled the Marquis an penurious, cheese-paring, and
illiberal. The Marquis, we all know, is inamsusely rieb,
hat that is no reason why he shoold be misrepresented,
doubtl.as for persons! reasons. Punch, however, has
such:waded in this, ai in many other matters, in oreating
et false impression in the public mind, If • careful
'march weer the la-t fete years of any daily newspaper
were made, it *ould be found that the Marquis use sub.
atribed largely psi philanthrogc objects; but I happen to
know that lilt lOrdahirf gives easy large sums of money
privately, and that Many, many acts of benerolence
never transpire to the public.
The rage for testimonials knows no hotind. It appears
that the Mayor of Portsmouth is to be testimonlitlittecl
for " the ',try graceful, courteous, and efficient manner
in which he has represented, not only this borough, but
the nation at large, on tie occasion of the visit of the
French squadron to this purr." A little while ago a lady
was testimonialised for siding her husbAnd to get into
Parliament. This testimoniil to the Mayor of Ports-
mouth le sweaty so ridiculous perhaps, but it is suffi-
ciently absurd. If the Mayor has been put to any ex-
pease in the matter, he shottld tagged it as • little set-off
against the honour and dignity of the mayoralty, and if
his expenses have been really onerous, I think the
Government ought to reimburse him. If, when the
Navy Estiinates are presented next year, a reason-
able sum is put down (and I dareacy something
will be put down) for entertaining the French at Ports-
mouth, no one could reasonably grumble at it. I
suppose the Mayor of Poole will have the next turn.
I Poole has been entertaining Cherbourg in return for
Cherbotirg hafine entertain. d Poole, and • testimonial
to the Mayor will be if fifth g sequel, unless. indeed a
public testimonial is got up to those who may testi-
InOniAllS6 the Mayor. By the way, whet a pity it is
that at such international banquets as this at Poole the
Frenchmen have to speak in Fiench, and the English-
men in English, neither understanding the other.
When sh•ll we have an efficient system of teaching
French in this country? At present we are as far off
Se ever, SPECTATOR.

[We print our correspondent's concluding remark for
the simple purpose of correfiting a mistake into which
he has fallen. It was not the dame xi Poole that
Englishmen had to speak in English, or even Frenchmen
in French; far from it, most of the speakers were equal
to all that was required in either language.]
