TIN &AMINO 01/ kl•oriALL.—Details have now I
arrived of the storming of Magdala, horn ehich it
seems that the opening skirmish on Good Friday
virtually decided the contest, for after that
event Theodore's followers were demoralised, many of
them forsook him, and only a few remained with him
to defend the fortress. It was at • quarter to four in
the afternoon of Easter Monday that toe battery of
stuns and rockets opened fire to oover the advance of the
33rd Regiment, preeeeded by a small lend of engineers
and sappers, and followed by the 45th. while the 4th and
the rest of the let brigade were kept in reveres. When
within 300 yards of the rook the 3rd formed line and
opened fire at the gateway and high hedge which
bounded the summit of the precipice. Under cover of
Chia tremendous fire, the engineers and the leading
company advanced up the path. When they were
hallway up the troops c-aaed firing, and the
storming party scrambled up at • run. All this time
answering flushes bad come back from the high wall
extending for some feet on each side of the gateway.
When the Engineers headed by Major Pritchard reached
the gateway, several shots were fired through loopholes,
and two or three men staggered been wounded. The men
Immediately pat their rifles through the loopholes, and
kept up • constant fire, So as to Clear away their
enemies from behind. The 45th openened fire to keep
in check the enemies skirmishers, and • few of the
engineers were rent up to the gate to blow
It open. In the meantime the men of the
33rd discovered • spot half-way up the path by which
they were able to scramble up to the left, and getting
through the hedge, they setnally cleared away the de-
fenders from the gate. A lotto portion of the invading
foropenteredat that spot. In • quarter of an hour the gate
was forced open, and then it was found a large hemp of
stones had been collected invide. Behind the gate was
a citrate, of huts, many still inhabited. In their rear
was 'natural scarp %Sot. 30feet high,up the face of which
was only a narrow flight of steps, and at the top waa
