CANDLES.-If you do not want your candles
exclusively for show, but with pleasantness of appearance
require excellence of burning, buy "PRICE'S GOLD MEDAL
PALMITINE," or their " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," or their
good old-fashioned "BELMONT SPERM," or "BELMONT
WAX," or their "BEST," "No. 2," " No. 3," or "BATTERSEA "
COMPOSITE, in preference to the finest and most transparent
Paraffin candles. But if you must have the extreme trans-
parency of pure Paraffine, " PRICE'S PARAFFINE" or their
"BELMONTINE" will give it to you in perfection, and at a more
moderate price than is usually charged for any other really first-
class Paraffine Candles.

The new toilet soap "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE,"
containing half its weight of their concentrated distilled Glyce-
rine, should be in general use in every house before the winter
comes on, because of its admirable effects in preventing chap-
ping of the hands and face. In every house there ought also to
be one of the sealed bottles of their concentrated Distilled Gly-
cerine, known everywhere as "PRICE'S GLYCERINE," and
prescribed by the most eminent medical men abroad as well as at
home, as the one only Glycerine for medicinal use whether ex-
ternally or internally.
PRICE'S FANCY SOAPS of the different sorts usually made
are excellent, and command a constantly increasing sale. Tlie
"Solidified Glycerine" spoken of above is, however, the one fancy
soap to use.

"PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning
in the wide glasses are believed to be the very best Night Lights
made. "PRICE'S CHILDS' NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning
without glasses, and their different sorts of "CHAMBER CAN-
DLES" are so well known, and so generally used and appre-
ciated, as not to need any special notice here.

AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM. -AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the bowels or
affecting the head, truly efficacions and pleasant, is admitted to
be the best medicine for immediately relieving coughs, Ads,
confirmed cases of asthma, and incipient consumption. It fre-
quently cures persons whom the faculty pronounce incurable,
and admirably allays the tickling which provokes frequent
coughing. In approaching consumption its effects are truly be-
neficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear
of suffocation, may depend on relief in a few minutes after tak-
ing it. Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist,
8, King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all drug-
gists, in bottles, 134 d., and three quantities in one, 2s. 9d. each.

A Blue-hoof _ the abo itlc has beep, po-
lished in , _attnee with r.n o) of the HoUse.of
Commons made on the 26th orpTovember hiss.
,It
consists of a compilation froM ::the writings of
various travellers iii Abyminia, intended to' show
the character country, the roads by which it
may be entered; atilt, to giteanacititt of the social
and political condition of the peopie:—This some-

what laborious work has been done under the super-
intendence of Colonel James, and the chief facts
that were known about Abyssinia prior to the pre-
sent expedition are gathered together in the Blue-
book before us.

If, as is stated, a company of Sappers were sent
out from England with no supplies of warm cloth-
ing, it was not because the necessity for such arti-
cles was not known at the War-office. All the tra-
vellers whose experiences are here related found
that in the highlands the cold was often very severe,
but none of them record so low a reading of the
thermometer as our correspondents recently stated
had been experienced. A temperature of 55 deg.
appears to be the lowest which Bruce encountered
at Gondar, and Major Harris found it 41 deg. at
Aukobar, the capital of Soha, 8,200 ft above the
sea. Stendher, who accompanied the King of
Abyssinia's army in 1862, noticed that the natives
were glad to get under cover at night—the officers
in tents, the natives in grass huts. The Sappers
appear to have been sent out under the influence of
the following fascinating description of the high-
lands by Major Harris :—" Each fertile knoll is
crowned with its peaceful hamlet. The cool moun-
tain zephyr is redolent of eglantine and jasmine,
and the soft green turf, spangled with clover,
daisies, and buttercups, yields at every step the
aromatic fragrance of the mint and thyme." Un-
fortunately, it is not always May in Abyssinia.
From Massowah (which lies 380 miles from Aden)
to Magdala or Debra Tabor the distance is 350 or
400 miles, and to Gondar 300 miles. From An-
nesley Bay the distance is about 15 miles less.
The route from the desert to the mountains we
have already heard about from our correspondents,
but according to the experience of other travellers
the actual difficulties of the journey commence in
the highlands. The greatest obstacle of all, the
Taranta pass, may be evaded, as was pointed out
by Dr. Beke, by taking the caravan road through
Antalo and Socota—and this appears to have been
decided on, the " Umtalla" mentioned by our occa-
sional correspondent as destined to be " post No.
3," being doubtless no other than Antalo. No two
persons spell Abyssinian names in the same way,
and hence Colonel James acknowledges that he
has found some difficulty in tracing certain places
on the map. Debra Tabor is, or was, the residence
of King Theodore, and near to it—at Gaffat—his
European workmen lived. Adowa is the capital of
Tigre, and the second city in the kingdom. Au-
talo is another of the principal towns of Tigre,
but, according to the French travellers, Ferret
and Galinier, it contained only from 200 to 300
houses.

The road from Antalo to Magdala is described
by comparatively recent travellers. Drs. Beke and
Krapf both traversed it in 1842, and as Krapf is
with the expedition now his knowledge cannot
fail to prove of great service. The routes vary,
but they seem to correspond nearly in one feature
--they are all rugged and beset with difficulties.
Krapf speaks frepently of the inhospitality of
the natives, but, as Colonel James reminds us, he
travelled with very little money, and that is a cir-
cumstance which does not always invite hospitality
in the most highly civilised countries. Travelling
in April, Krapf wrote enthusiastically of some por-
tions of his journey, especially of the country around
Totola

"The whole scenery is so beautiful that I cannot recol-
lect ever having seen such a fine sight in Abyssinia. You
can scarcely imagine that you are in Africa. The cool
climate—the fresh and healthy air—the green plain,
watered artificially by acqueducts from the river—the
activity of the inhabitants in cultivation —the quantity of
cattle grazing, and the multitude of travelling merchants
whom you meet on the road with their goods—all those,
and many other things, give the place an European ap-
pearance."

But he warns the traveller to beware of certain
troublesome tribes when Lasta and Agan are ap-
proached. They are called the Ana and the Raia
Galtis, and they have never been subjugated by
the Abyssinians "on account of their mountains,
which appeared from a distance to extend to the
very sky." A remark made by Colonel James
suggests means by which these and other impedi-

;the.preent Abuna once, in an evil moment, confided
to th 6 Missionaries .his impression that Theodore's-
mother was not really descended from the Queen of
Sheba, and this slur upon .his family connexions so
wounded the sensitive Monarch that the Abuna has
ever since been out of favour. Nevertheless, it is said
hlityltiiy-.roAn'vslorn the_ Alitina', olactS4o**
would be recognised as King by the people. Aiiiong
the saints in the Abyssinian calendar, which is ex-
tremely extensive, are Balsam and his ass and
Pontius Pilate and his wife. They fast so often
that two-thirds of the year are assigned to absti-
nence. The Bishop of Jerusalem, Dr. Gobat, de-
scribes them as " very immoral and licentious,
priest-ridden and bigoted, but hospitable to tra-
vellers, and with no cruelty in their disposition."
The Shohoes, of whom late letters have frequently
spoken, hold the Mahomedan religion, in common
with many other tribes.
The number of men which a King of Abyssinia
could bring into the field against a foreign enemy
is very uncertain, on account of the divisions be-
tween the chieftains. Major Harris, in the year
1840, accompanied a military expedition which
started from Shoa, and observed that in advance of
the army were borne a copy of the Bible and the
ark of the Cathedral of St. Michael. Next came
the King, then the band, mounted on donkeys, and
after them the followers of every degree. There
was also, according to Major Harris, another curi-
ous feature in the procession :
" Forty dames and damsels professing the culinary art.,
with elaborately crisped beehive wigs, greased faces, be-
daubed with ochre, and arched blue eyebrows, were
muffled in crimson-striped robes of cotton a demure
assemblage, rigorously guarded on all sides by austere
eunuchs, armed with long white wands. Beyond, far as
the eye could penetrate the canopy of dust which hung
over the horizon, every hill and valley swarms with
masses of equestrians and pedestrians, henchmen, and
camp followers, sumpter horses, asses, and mules, laden
with tents, horns of old mead, and bags of provisions.
Throngs of women carrying pitchers of beer and hydromel
at their backs, and lads with glittering sheaves of spears
upon their shoulders, leading gaily caparisoned war steeds
—all mixed and crowded together in the most picturesque
disorder and confusion."

Theodore once had 60,000 men around him as an
army, but now it is thought 5,000 would be an ex-
treme estimate. Considering that he sometimes
butchers them at the rate of 2,000 a week, this
great diminution in his army is not surprising, but
of course the chief falling off has been occasioned
by desertions. Mr. Duf ton asserts that in 1863
about 20.000 men carried percussion firearms, and
the remainder swords and spears. The irregular
army, some have thought, amounted to 100,000
mil. Part of the following passage has been thus
far borne out by the news which we have published
from Abyssinia :
" Monsieur Legean considers that it is important that
no cause should be given to the population to believe
that the war is of a religious character. If Theodore
could excite this belief, he thinks that the whole country
mould join him. To a Christian army all Tigre would
be friendly, and the country people, if they once get con-
fibnce, would be glad to furnish all sorts of supplies.
They have a character for honesty and for keeping
to agreements." _ _

Theodore is now about 47 years old, his real name
being Kassa. He assumed the name of Theodorus
because of an old prophecy which sets forth
that an Emperor of that name would raise the
kingdom of Abyssinia to a pitch of glory never
before known. He has constantly been en-
gaged in warfare, and said to be " a man of great
talent, courage, and energy." His complexion is
dark, but his features arc European. He thinks
much without being a drunkard. That he is a cruel
monster at heart is proved by numerous accounts,
especially by those received from time to time by
the captives. Sometimes his victims have been
carefully sewn up in wax clothes " and burnt like
candles." Dr. Blanc wrote on the 18th of June,
1867 :

" In the history of the world there is no parallel case.

It is true tyrants and despots have wantonly spilt human
blood; great conquerors Lavo overrun large tracts of
country : out of 3,000,000 inhabitants ho has destroyed
more than a third by war, famine, and murder. Nero,
Attila, Tamerlane, were lambs when compared to Theo-
dorus. No man was ever so false, so treacherous ;no man
held friendly or family ties so cheap. His own son, Ras
HPshisha, is in chains. Ras Taga, whom he left in charge
of his camp during his late expedition, was chained—a re-
ward for his fidelity on the return of his ungrateful master.
We are not, therefore, astonished when we daily hear of
fresh desertions."

Mr. Flad also stated, in a letter of the 2d of July
last, that within six weeks the King had put to
death 4,000 persons.

.titude of sins. Our only fear is, judging from
what has happened in Queensland, that Sir George
13O'Wen is just as likely to come into occasional
colliiihn :with the Ministry as even Sir George
Gr3yewas. 'As the new Governor is not to leive
Queensland; until the arrival of his commission' and
instructions,:a4d as they are not to be sent until
the 2d of October mail, he has written to say that
he will land in Wellington about Christmas. Sir
George Grey will before that date retire to his pri-
vate•resideflce at Itawau, where he expects to re-
ceive.a visit from the Duke of Edinburgh when the
Galatea Calls,- at Auckland. The change of Go-
VettlOrS •at this particular moment is very unfor-
tunate, and will seriously interfere with the pro-
granune•of the Prince's reception. It was Sir
George Grey's intention to escort his. Royal High-
ness overland from Tauranga, through Taupo, to
The lake and hot spring districts
would have afforded novel and enjoyable travel,
and the effect of the Prince's presence at the great
intended gathering of natives._ Would have left a
lastingbeueficial effect on the peace of the country.

they'proceeded to the armotiry, -•;
of which disappointed them, as it only contained two old
carbines with sword bayonets, which they took possession
of ; but the most singular part of the narrative is that,
after completing their work, the five armed men sat down,
we are told, and had a friendly conversation with the
artillerymen and their families. One of them related his
adventures in the American war, another discussed
Fenianism, and a third exhibited one of their 12-shooters,
and, in return for the information which they had
obtained, explained its construction to the gunners. It
appeared to be a breech-loading revolver, and in taking
out the cylinder one of the bullets fell to the ground.
After remaining in the towel: over two hours, and ad-
ministering a form of oath to the soldiers that they
would not identify them in case of their being arrested, at
the same time warning them not to leave the spot until
daybreak, as they would be in the neighbourhood and
would shoot them, the gang withdrew. The artillerymen,
finding they had gone, brought up some reserve cart-
ridges which had escaped notice, and, after securing the
entrance to the tower, fired five shots from their gun on
the roof, and waved a light as signals for assistance, but
although passengers on the Queenstown Direct Railway,
which was near, heard the firing, no attention was paid to
it. Several shots were afterwards heard in the locality,
which appeared to be discharged by persons practising
with small arms.
It is believed that the Fenians landed from boats. The
story of the Fenian privateer off Cork is doubtful, but, as
told with circumstantiality by the Cork Examiner, it is
that, on the morning when the strange ship, or ships, were
observed outside Queenstown Harbour, Captain Lynch,
master of the Newfoundland barque Sarah Ann, reported
having seen six boats, filled with armed men, rowing out
of the harbour seaward. "He took them for men-of-war
cutters." The ram Research, according to the tale, was
in pursuit either of these boats or of the vessel to which
they belonged, and a naval officer from her boarded the
barque, and inquired whether her captain had seen the
mysterious boats or heard shots. The Research and the
Helicon went next morning to sea.

Orders have been received directing that the arms an&
ammunition in the martello towers in the Cork district
shall be collected in the Haulbowline stores.

By direction of Major-General Freeman Murray, the
military guard on duty within Chatham Dockyard has
been augmented, and the troops retained within the esta-
blishment the whole of the night, instead of leaving the
dockyard at sunset, as has hitherto been the practice.
Within the last few days a strong military guard has been
posted within Fort Amherst, at Chatham, and the guard-
house removed within the fort, for the protection of the
stores of Snider cartridges and other small arm ammuni-
tion stored in the magazines at the fort, a line of sentries
communicating from the heights on which the magazine is
built with the garrison both by day and night.
The military guard at Hampton Court, as was expected,
has been increased at the Royal Palace. A full company
of the 56th Foot has arrived from Portland, and has taken
up its quarters there. The day watching is principally
left to the civilians, but at night sentries are placed all
round the Royal Palace, and in all the approaches. After
dark no one is allowed to pass without giving the sign, and,
if not known, is not allowed to proceed without a guard
with him. That part of the Palace which faces the river
is most carefully guarded, and heavy iron gratings have
been placed over the mouths of the sewer. The watch
men and sentries are so arranged that there is a complete
cordon round the whole place, and no one is left unsup-
ported.
The Western Morning News reports that the utmost
vigilance continues to be observed in Plymouth and Devon-
port and the neighbourhood to guard against any incen-
diary or hostile measures, or the landing of combustibles.
At Bull Point, where in the capacious Royal powder
magazines nearly five hundred tons of gunpowder are
stored, these precautions are incessant, and very harassing
to the officers and men so engaged. The mayors of Ply-
mouth and Devonport have received a circular from the
Home Office,suggesting the swearing•in of special constables.
The locks have again been removed from the.rifies in the
Plymouth volunteer armoury. The coastguard are pro-
vided with their pistols and blue lights for signalling ; but
the police have no arms except a wooden mace, and are,
moreover, on duty in the open air for fourteen hours at a
stretch. A matter requiring the most prompt and serious
attention of the authorities, says the Western Morning
News, is the large quantities of gunpowder which are
stored in the neighbourhood without any efficient protec-
tion. At one place, we learn, as large a quantity as ten
tons of gunpowder are deposited within five miles of
the citadel, without any guard, and accessible to anyone
who chooses to break open a door. If the authorities can-
not or will not take cognisance of these matters, the General
commanding the district and the Port Admiral would do
well to take up the subject.
