THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITTnN. —The Abyssinian
correspondence published on Thursday, although n t
containing much of passing interest, represent ma,ters
in an encouraging impact. The troop., dter leaving
Senate, have entered a country crowded with vinare',
and with a good deal of land prepared for cultivation.
Large herds of cattle and docks of sheep and Roots
were to be soon every day. The country was literally
teeming with meet, the cattle being of most seissilent
quality and the flesh properly distributed. At &rola
sapper. hod streak water on the line of railway, aboet
three miles from the camp, and the supply promised to
be lasting. The supplies required for the army, not-
withstanding those furnished by the natives, demand •
large amount of carriage, and in this requisite the fora.
is still unfortunately deficient. As our army advanoes
the aspect of the inhabitants improves. They are
stated by the special correspondent of the Tents to be
tall and of graceful figure, especially the young women,
who are met iq crowds on the roads carrying herby or
honey to market. The men are generally dressed in a
single robe of cotton, which appears to be rsrelY
washed. Men of rank usually wear shirts. Their hair
in dressed with rancid butter. They all go armed with
swords, spears, and shields. Many carry double-
barrelled guns, made at Birmingham and Liege. The
inhabitants of Sonde are Mahometans, but most of
the surrounding villagers are Christians, their creed
being denoted by blue fillet, round their necks. Such
is the admirable discipline of Sir Robert N•pier's foroe
that up to the date of the special correspondent's letter
no Abyssinian damsel had been subjected to any rude
gallantry on the part of the red-coats.
' LOHD RADSTOCH ix Panis.—On Ash Wanes-
day, at 2 o'clock, I heard Lord Radstock preach •
pennon in Lady Harriet Cowper's magnificent drawing-
room in the Avenue Friedland. The congregation con-
sisted of from 70 to 80 people of whore sin, out of ten
were ladies in elegant morning toilettes. Some there
were notorious in Anglo-Parisian moiety for th•
splendour of their jewellery, but they were earefid not
to parade their diamonds on this occasion. Lord
Haddock doge not, so far as I know, seek any other
publicity than such as may eonduce to bring as many
sheep as possible to his fold, nevertheless, as he is Just
now one of the sights of Paris, I feel called epos to
mention that I bare man hini. The impression made
upon me by a single discourse is that he has a real voca-
tion for the work to which be has recently dedicated
himself. Had he been plain Kr. Smith instead of the
representative of • most respectable peerage which was
founded in 1800 by his grandfather, the Hoe. Admiral
We'degrave, himself a scion of • noble house of
older date, I have no doubt be wield have made
his way as • popular preacher in any town ie
England. He is • handsome man in the prime of
life (35), with • brad (prematurely man,
of somewhat
singular form, but by no means deficient in intellectual
development. He has light hair aad whiskers, a salt
blue eye, and a well-formed pleasing month. He is of
the middle sine, about five feet eight, extremely well
befit and active, and looks in parka health. I should
think be must have been in his youth, if not like his
ancestors, a sailor, at least a yachtsman. His favourite
metaphors are drawn from nautical life. There is nothing
in any way eccentric or pretentious in his demeanour.
He does not adore a clerical costume. Without poems*.
ing eloquence of • high order, he has the art of com-
manding attention, and while prosaic' extempore
seldom hesitate, for, or changes, a word, The doctrines
of obsolete election and grace, and the filthiness of
works, which his lordship preaches with conviction, lose
nothing by being expressed in better English than is
frequently heard in dissenting chapels. At the does of
the service he invited any members of the sospepams
who might wish for spiritual consolation to roman, and
he and some fellow-workers to whom bad been revealed
the ways of God would be extreme' happy to make
