PARIS, Aug. 8.

The Constitutionnel of this morning denies a
current report that preparations are being made for
fetes at Salzburg, and says :—" The proposed visit
of the Emperor and Empress of the French to the
Emperor Francis Joseph is an act of affectionate
courtesy and private sympathy. As such it is
viewed by both Sovereigns, and as such will be
interpreted by all serious minds.
The latest Norwegian census shows that there
are in that country 18 persons above 100 years of
age, one of whom, an unmarried woman, living at
Mo, in the Nordland district, is 107. There are
besides 30 persons of 100 years old, of whom 11
live in the same district.
The Russian Government has ordered the con-
struction at Kertch of important fortifications, the
earth-works alone of which will cost 1,728,000 f.
King Victor Emmanuel, with the object of en-
couraging the breed of horses in Italy, has founded
a prize of 40,000 f. to be run for in 1871 at Florence.
For the races of next year his Majesty has given a
prize of 15,000 f. The King's horses may run, but
in the event of one of them winning the stakes will
be given to the second.
The young man arrested at Marseilles for firing
at an officer in the street is named Descour. He
had formerly been a soldier in the 43.1 Regiment,
and appears to be mentally deranged. He neither
knew the officer nor had ever seen him before. He
gives no reason for the act with which he is charged.
M. de IVeliens, director-general of the Joint-
Stock Company of the Baths of Wiesbaden and

The Civil Tribunal of Rouen has just tried a
case in which damages were claimed from a
railway company for accidental injury. M.
Descamps, a watchmaker of that place, was en-
tering a carriage at the Elbeuf station ; he had
one foot inside and the other on the step, when
the porter, Verrieres, forcibly slammed the door,
pushing M. Descamps forward. To save himself
from falling he seized the side of the doorway, and
his right thumb was caught and crushed. As the
train was not to start for four or five minutes there
was no excuse whatever for the haste and want of
attention on the part of the porter. The Court
therefore held him and the Western Company con-
jointly liable, and sentenced them to pay the com-
plainant a sum of 2,000 fr.

" who is charged with the murder of Mme.
Mertens at Fontainebleau, and with forgery and
robbery, was brought on Saturday to the House of
Detention in this town. She is of slight stature
and somewhat crooked, which caused her to be known
at Fontainebleau, during the time following the dis-
covery of the body, by the name of The hunchback.'
She is simply attired, and not without some degree
of elegance. She persists in her denials, and seems
to await impatiently the day of trial."
An imperial decree in the Moniteur declares the

A public meeting of 2,000 persons took place
three days back in the theatre at Treviso, when
motions declaring Rome to be the capital of Italy,
and approving of the bill on ecclesiastical property,
voted by the Chamber of Deputies, were carried by
large majorities. The speakers showed great mode-
ration, and the business passed off in good order,
terminating by loud cheers for the King and for
Garibaldi.

The Giornale di Napoli of the 2d announces that

HER MAJESTY, &c•

OSBORNE, Aug. 7.

The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise,
Princess Beatrice, and the Princess of Leiningen,
drove out yesterday afternoon.

Prince Arthur and Prince Leopold walked out.

The Prince of \Vales, attended by Captain Ellis,
arrived in the evening on a visit to her Majesty.

THE QUEEN'S HIGHLAND VISIT.—The Crathie
correspondent of the Edinburgh Courant writes that it is
now definitely settled, according to present arrangements,
that her Majesty the Queen and Court will arrive at Bal-
moral Castle for the autumn sojourn on Saturday, the 24th
August.

Ills Royal highness the Duke of Cambridge, as
Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, held a levee yester-
day afternoon at the Horse Guards. The attendance was
rather numerous, upwards of 150 officers being present.
The Duke of Devonshire has left Devonshire
House, Piccadilly, for Holkar Hall, near Milnethorpe.

The Duchess de Coigney has left the St. George's
Hotel.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury left
town yesterday for Tottenham Park, near Marlborough,
Wilts.

The Earl and Countess Stanhope and Lady Mary
Stanhope have left town for Chevening Park, Kent.
The Earl and Countess of Harrington and family
have left Harrington House, Craig's Court, for Elvaston
Castle, Detby.

, ..
The Earl of Clarendon has gone to Wiesbaden.
The Countess and Lady Eniily Villiers are at The Grove
near Watford

The British Captives in Abyssinia.

The interest which would, in ordinary circum-
stances, have been excited by the publication of
additional papers relating to the Abyssinian affair,
which have been printed in return to the address of
the House of Commons on the subject, will be vastly
increased by the tidings just received of the escape
of the prisoners out of the hands of the Emperor
Theodorus. The correspondence now added to the
already voluminous documents before the public
extends to the number of 160 letters, besides en-
closures; and the dates range from November 9,
1865, to July 27 in this year. The more recent of
the communications are those addressed to Lord
Stanley by persons of enterprise, having a know-
ledge of the country in which the missionaries are
or were held captive, together with his lordship's
replies. The suggestions and offers of personal
service made by Captain W. Parker Snow are the
most striking points of these later documents. Cap-
tain Snow relies in a great degree on his power of
disguising himself, ...nd proposes to enter Abyssinia
from the east as an Arab. Adverting to his many
extraordinary dealings with " the most savage races
of mankind," he says : " It may appear absurd to relate
how—sometimes as an acrobat, then a medicine man,
next a grave ruler of the stars, or a laughing
merry-andrew, but always kind and gentle as
well as firm—l have got on. Playing with the chil-
dren, admiring the women (no matter how ugly),
and humouring the men (who are often but big
babies), I have passed scatheless through wild people
who, before and afterwards (most remarkably in
two cases, Australia and Tierra del Fuego), mur-
dered the white men visiting them. A bold, fierce
dash, with no shadow of timidity, is, however, ne-
cessary, and they respect it."
It is impossible to give, within the space allowed
by the other requirements of a newspaper, an ab-
stract that shall convey any thorough and vivididea
of the strange story involved in these letters. The
Emperor Theodorus contributes some of the most
wonderful epistles ever printed to this varied and
interesting mass. They are written in the Amharic,
and of course translated into English ; and they in-
variably begin with a mixture of religion and courtly
compliment, in this fashion : "In the name of the
Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, one God,
amen. From the servant of our Lord and His
created Being, the son of David, the son of Solomon,
the King of Kings (of Ethiopia), Theodorus, to her
whom God has exalted above all sovereigns and
glorified above all princes and peoples, and made
the defender of the Christian faith, and the succour
of the poor and oppressed, Victoria, Queen of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland."

On the 29th of January, 1866, the Emperor thus
delivers himself :

" Had the illustrious Hormuzd Rassam, whom
your Majesty has mentioned to us in your letter,
not been sent to us about the matter of Cameron
and others, but the lowest of your servants, he
would have been received graciously by us. We
now send, with Hormuzd Rassam, Cameron and
all the other Europeans about whom your Majesty
has written. Your Majesty can learn from those
who fear the Lord the ill-treatment and abuse which
we have received at the hands of the above-men-
tioned Europeans and the Copt who called himself
Metropolitan, the Aboona Salama. In my humble
position I am not worthy to address your Majesty,
but illustrious princes and the deep ocean can bear
everything. I, being an ignorant Ethiopian, hope
that your Majesty will overlook my shortcomings
and pardon my faults. The people whom we have
imprisoned for their reviling and defaming us did
so because the Gallas had proved victorious over the
Royal children of Israel and had humbled them ;
but God has empowered me, the son of one of the
humble women of Israel, to regain that which had
been lost by my forefathers. Doubtless your Ma-
jesty has learnt how ignorant and blind the people
of Ethiopia are ; wherefore I beg of your Majesty
not to take amiss the mistakes I may make in my
correspondence with you. Counsel me, but do not
blame me, 0 Queen, whose majesty God has glori-
fied, and to whom He has given abundance of
wisdom."

The promise so submissively made in the forego-
ing letter was immediately afterwards broken, with
an additional flagrant violation of faith, Mr. Ras-
sam himself—" the illustrious Ilormuzd Rassam,"
as he is called by the Emperor Theodorus—being,
together with his companions, made fellow-prisoners
with Mr. Cameron and the rest.

Mr. Flad, the German missionary, writing to the
Earl of Clarendon, points to certain evidence that
the Emperor had formed an intention of keeping
Mr. Rassam as well as the others in order to get a
" kassa," or ransom, from the Queen of England.
It was his wish to have skilled artisans sent out to
him, " to open his eyes," as he repeatedly said. In
a letter to one of his officers, Detaty Tadla, com-
manding the detention of the Europeans, his Ma-
jesty says :—" By the power of God, I, the King
of Kings, Thordorus, am well. We have been angry
with our friends and with those Europeans who say
we go to our country, and we are not yet recon-
ciled. Until we consult what we are going to do
take hold of them, but do not make them uncom-
fortable or afraid, and do not hurt them." After-
wards they had an interview, thus narrated by Mr.
Flad : —" As soon as we had approached near his
Majesty and received his salutation, we fell down
to the ground, asking his Majesty to forgive and to
pardon us. We were ordered to get up, and to
come nearer. We bad the honour to take a
seat on a carpet. The King brought forth
the petition of the relations of the English
prisoners, which had been sent from Massowah by
Dr. Belie. Captain Cameron was asked to read it.
After that the King said,' It is the devil who made
me angry with you, and who tempted me to de-
stroy the friendly feelings existing since the late
Mr. Plowden, between myself and England. From
my childhood I like the Europeans, especially thy
English ; and God knows that, from morning till
evening, I bad no other desire than to get in alli-
ance with the English nation. It is true that, by
the power of God, I will fight the Turks ; but there
never arose a thought in my mind to fight with tht
English. What I wish is, that they shall love me
and be my friends. Mr. Stern,' said he, you are
quite innocent ; it is not you who abused me, it is
that Copt, who calls himself a monk and a bishop.
He made me angry with you, and he abused me.
And Mr. Flad, God knows I never bad any bad
feelings against him. He never committed any-
thing which could make me angry with him. And

Mr. Rassam, you are the best man I ever saw in m
life, and you did nothing which could make me
angry with you The other day, it is true, my sus-
picion arose, but it was the devil ; and now we will
make peace, forgetting everything past, and by
actions of love we will renew our friendship. Nor,
I pray you all forgive rue.' The King immediately
fell down to the ground before us. We asked
that his Majesty might arise and forgive
us, but ho refused ; so we said, according
to the custom of the country, For God's
sake we forgive you.' And immediately
we kneeled down before him, begging him to for-
give us, on which he answered, For God's sake I
forgive you.' After this ceremony we had to Sib
down. Then the King said that each of us should
write a letter to his relations, and give them the news
that his Majesty, by the power of God, and for the
friendship's sake of the Queen of England, had par-
doned and released us, and that we hope to see and
meet them soon. After this we were dismissed. The
King now told Mr. Rassam that he wished him to
stay with him until the Queen of England would
send him a ' kasa,' existing in artists, machines, and
tools, &c., for which purpose ho should now write
letters, and send one of the Europeans, who would
come back and bring back the ' kasa.' "

Mr. Flad was chosen to be the emissary to Eng-
land from the Emperor and his captives. He urged
on his Majesty the advice to send Mr. Rassaal
but Theodorus was obstinate, and would have no
other messenger than the one he had at first selected.

Letters from the Rev. H. A. Stern to his wife,
and other correspondence full of personal narra-
tive, help to fill this blue-book, and to make it
as interesting as any work of modern fiction.
While the prisoners were in chains, or shortly
after they had been thus secured, they con-
tinued to receive letters full of compliments
from the Emperor, one of these missives being
as follows :—" In the name of the Father, Son,
and Holy Ghost, one God. From God's slave and
His created being, the son of David, the son
of Solomon, the King of Kings, Theodorus. To
my friend and counsellor, the servant of the Queen
of England, Hormuzd Rassam, Esq.—My desire i 8
that you should send to her Majesty the Queen and
obtain for me a m..n who can make cannons and
muskets, and one who can smelt iron, and an in-
structor of artillery. I want these people to come
here with their instruments and everything necessary
for their work, and then they shall teach us and re-
turn. By the power of God forward this our re-
quest to England."
Dr. Blane, staff assistant-surgeon of her Majesty's
Bombay Army, who was attached to the Abyssinian
mission, and is one of the prisoners, gives a history
of the Emperor's career. As Lij Cassai, a young
man of good family, nephew to the celebrated Dijas
Comfou, if not, as he asserts, a descendant of the
Ethiopic kings, he followed the very common ex-
ample of Abyssinian feudatory chiefs by throwing
off his allegiance to his sovereign. Having finally
conquered Abyssinia by subduing the powerful Tigre
chief, Dijas Oubie, he was crowned Emperor by the
name of Theodorus. His treachery is thus described
by Dr. Blane :—" I could adduce hundreds of ill'
stauCes to illustrate the utter worthlessness of his
most sacred oaths, if a few were not sufficient to
show how vain it is to believe anything he says.
In his cunning he always endeavours to cover
his treachery by some paltry excuse. He plun-
dered Dembea because the inhabitants were
too friendly towards the Europeans, Gon-
dar because one of our messengers had been betrayed
by the inhabitants of that city. He likes to shelve
the odium of his cruelties on the Europeans or priest
whenever it is possible. He destroyed Zagi, a large
and populous city, because, he said, a priest had
been rude to him. No person is sacred in his eye,
however faithful he may have proved. A few months
ago he cast into chains his adopted father, Cantil-33
Hallo, who, by protecting him at the beginning of
his career, was greatly instrumental in his rise.
Tesemma Engedda, the hereditary Chief of Gahinte,
last year, with the peasantry of his district, utterly
destroyed a large invading body of rebels. Ile was
first cajoled and made a grandee, but soon after
made to feel the evil of too well serving his master ;
he now lingers in chains, and is occasionally tortured

to extort money from him. A few days ago the
chief of the Amba, one of the oldest and most faith-
ful servants, has been chained, and all his property
confiscated. His brother, Ras Walde Marian],
also one of his first and most trusty followers,
is, with almost all the Begemeder chiefs, in chains."

The latest direct news from the prisoners, given
- -

in their own words, is down to the end of April or
beginning of May. One of them says—" Abyssi-
nians laugh at us. Speak to any of them of the power
and greatness of England, they sneeringly answer,
Why, then, do you pay us tribute? Is it not now
on the road ? Has not Flad gone to fetch it ?'
may seem ungrateful, after all, and mistake the real
motive of all these delays. I believe I have guessed
it. They will all be killed should troops land,' i 5
probably the common song when warlike measures
are proposed, and the tune of those ignorant writers
on the subject who may mean well, but neverthe-
less are the cause of much of our misery. Well, let
him kill us ; we can die but once. In their iglu)"
rance Abyssinians may feel contempt of our power,
but we shall certainly not give them the chance to
sneer at English courage. Wo fear not death, but
the very thought of his cruelties fills us with awe ;
to evade them we will run any risk ; long ago Iv°
made up our minds on the matter. All our friends
are fully aware of our entire willingness to take our
chance. We have begged and prayed for that mo-
ment which will either restore us to our country or
end our miserable fate."

With the last letter received by Mrs. Stern from
her husband we close this abstract :

" Magdala, May 2, 1867.

"My dear Charlotte—l just add a line to InY
letter of yesterday, as it is doubtful whether the
opportunity for writing will not, before many date
have elapsed, become exceedingly difficult, if not
utterly impossible. The return of Mr. Flad,
the disappointment of the King in not obtaining the
requested accession to his white victims, and the
consciousness that neither intrigue nor cunning will
avail him to extort fresh concessions from the British
Government or the generosity of British Christians
—all, I believe, combine to bring, ere long, our
melancholy and doleful history to a crisis. Every
day, nay, every hour, we expect to be transferred to
the common prison, and to get hand-chains agalu•
Only a week ago upwards of 200 prisoners, among
whom are persons of high rank, were ordered to b 3
executed. This indiscriminate massacre, which 1133

indicates no improvement in the tyrant's temper;
We fear that wilful, wicked misrepresentations, and
cruel, unpardonable selfishness, united in concealing'
the true state of our position, and the well-known
designs of the King. God, in his infinite mercy'
may interpose and deliver us ; and if not, our sel?a:

THE OAKS COLLIERY.—As the prospect of clear-

MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The proceedings of the Bank of England to-day
did not excite particular interest, and no surprise
Was manifested when it was announced that the
inininium would remain at 2 per cent., although
the ordinary value of money in other directions is
little more than 11 per cent. No doubt the resources
of the chief establishment will increase, notwith-
standing the agricultural requirements and the
holiday expenditure here and abroad, as usual at
this period of the year.
Continuous and rather heavy rains have fallen
within the last two days, but the effect in the prin-
cipal agricultural districts generally has not been
unfavourable. Notwithstanding the wet, the cold,
and even frost, there is a confident impression among
farmers that the yield will not be far short of an
average ; and the letters from Yorkshire, portions
of Kent, Sussex, and the Midland districts are on
the whole encouraging. Even assuming that the
crop of wheat be deficient, there is full compensa-
tion in the promised supplies of cereals from Ame-
rica, Australia, and Europe, also in the abundance
Produced in the hay fields, and the steady decline
of the disease among cattle.

At the meeting held to-day of the Irrigation
Company of France the report confirmed in al
essential particulars the favourable anticipations
which have been held out to the shareholders, and
an account is given of the prospects of the various
Undertakings in hand, which are satisfactory and
encouraging. The works of the four canals already
taken up have been pressed forward with all
possible activity, and although in the case of two
of them—the Siagne Canal and the upper branches
of the Lagoin Canal the opening, which
Was expected to take place in the course
of the present summer, will, through de-
lays and other unavoidable circumstances,
be delayed, but this slight postponement will be of
no pecuniary importance. Two of the credits
which the directors in their last report stated they
expected to open with, French financial companies,
have been obtained and are in operation—namely,
those for the Verdon and the St. Mortory Canals,
and that the negotiations for the others are in an
advanced state ; whilst in respect of one canal, the
Siagne, a special supplemental credit has been ob-
tained in London. The French companies made a
rigorous investigation of the position of the canals.to
satisfy themselves that the amount of the credits to be
opened would suffice for their completion, and thus in-
sure the repayment of the advances, and no further
calls will be required to carry to completion the present
Undertakings. Details of the state of progress are
furnished of the several canals, and the plans sub-
Initted prove of interest, as illustrating the extent
and geographical bearings of these undertakings,
and the important character of the districts they are
intended to supply.
The sum of £87,000 was taken to the Bank of
England yesterday.
The senior partner of Messrs. R. Symonds and
'on, of Ingram-court, Fenchurch-street, having
made a tour of the wine districts, reports the pro-
rTects as far as can be at present obtained. lle
states that the vines in the Champagne districts are
.111 excellent condition. In Bordeaux the flowering
18 now taking place, and although a certain amount
of damage occurred in the spring, yet appearances
°4 the whole are favourable. In Burgundy hail-
st°rrns and long-continued rains have injured the
vines, but they have improved, and in the end a fair
average vintage may be obtained. In passing
'rough the South of France in May he found that
severe frosts had caused great injury, but he con-
siders the damage is not to such an extent as has
b„ena represented. The vines on the Rhine and
'ioselle look healthy, but the vintage will be late.

More buoyancy and animation arc observable in
the market for the English Funds, and, indeed, for
securities generally. Consols are favourably influ-
enced by the abundance of money, the arrivals of

favour of the crops. Investors as well as speculators
have been
inclined to effect purchases, and values
been ascending in consequence. Foreign bonds
