THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDMON.-At the monthly
meeting of the Church Missionary Society the Rev. Pre-
bendary Venn, 8.D., the hon. secretary, said that Sir
Stafford Northcote having applied to the society through
Captain Eastwick for any information which could be fur-
nished in respect of interpreters for the Abyssinian expe-
dition, and for such inforniation respecting the country as
the journals of missionaries might supply, he had au in-
terview with Captain Eastwick, and furnished to him such
information as could be obtained from the records of the
society's niissionary work in Abyssinia, and that Sir Staf-
ford Nortgeote had invited Dr. Krapf, formerly missionary
in Abyssinia, to accompany the expedition as interpreter.
Dr. Krapf, by letter, stated that ho had accepted the offer
of Sir Stafford Northcote, and would join the expedition
at Massowah ; that for the last two years he had been en-
gaged in Amharic studies, especially in editing for the
British and Foreign Bible Society an Amharic New Testa-
ment, 10,000 copies, and various small tracts iu that lan-
guage, as well as the four Gospels in Tigrd ; that he had
stipulated to have an assistant who would act as Bible
colporteur, and that he anticipated large opportunities of
spreading Christian truth in connection with the expedi-
tion.
