TIII4 ARYSSI SIAN Sick AND W 4,1 NM:D.—The
Serapis has started for the purpose e conveying the sick
and wiyalided of the Abyssinian expedition to England.
Particular s of the casualties of the force before 3111ga:eta
have not yet arrived. The cases of ilism:se treated at the
tield•hospitala Lave been intermittent fever, dysentery,
diarrb•ca, and hepatic affections. Au aguish cause has
seemed to he intimately connected with all the disorders ;
and the above affections were frequently the varied ex-
pressions of one and the sanie cause. The amount of
disease was very email ; and, if the tioops get out of the
country before the rainy season, as it is expected will
be the case, we may expect the Abyssinian campaign
to have been an unprecedented success. The geogra-
phical ilitlicultied overcome Lave been unquestion-
ably very great ; and Sir Robert Napier will in this respect
deservedly take a foremost rank as an engineer. The or-
ganisation so far as the medical requirements of the cam-
paign were concern 3d was settled by inspectors of the
British and Indian service. conjointly at Bombay. The
arrangements in Abyssinia of the two services were con-
ducted separately by their respective me.lical departments;
and, we believe, well conducted. Deputy Inspector-
General Telly, of the Indian service, had a oillicult teak,
and fulfilled it, by all accounts, moat successfully. Dr.
Currie, the principal medical officer of the force, belonged
to the British anny. He was well to the front with Sir
Hobert Napier.- British Medical Journal.

ME-AsioessmeNT OT PROPERTY IN THE PARISH

vailed in the neighbourhood of the Marylebose Court-
house, by the attendance of a deputation to the vestry
consisting of very nearly 200 residents of the Edgware.

assessment of that portion of the pariah. Mr. E. how.
nois, churchwanleis, presided, and Mr. Brooks, who pre-
sented the memorial, said it was signed by every rate-
payer in the Edgware road as they considered it meet
unjust that that should be the only thoroughfare pingled
out to have its assessments raised in many instafues 20
per cent., whilst all the rest of the parish had been un-
touched. Mr. Neale, Mr. Walker, and Mr. Hauer, addressed
the board and great excitement prevailed. some
