11-IE TROOPS IN ABYSSINIA.

According to tne reports which we nave received from
our medical correspondents, matters are progressing very
favourably. Two piers at the point of debarkation are
in process of completion. Normandy's condensing
apparatus have been fixed, and the American pumps
at Koomaylee are working effectually in supplying water,
so that we may reasonably hope this essential to
man and beast, particularly in the hot lowlands, will
not be the very costly matter that has been stated.
The sanitary condition of the camp is good, sad the field
hospitals are already in fair working order. At one time
the base of operations at Annesley Bay was beginning to
assume, from want of proper organisation, anything but a
satisfactory state, which might have been productive of
serious consequences. An Oriental encampment in the
hot, moist climate of the littoral in that latitude, with
thousands of men and cattle, every day adding to their
numbers, and a deficient water supply, will require un-
ceasing vigilance to maintain a good sanitary condition.
Disease, if it once appear at this point, will be liable
to contaminate both the land route and the shipping. The
commissariat officers were working very hard, but were
much hampered for want of subordinates. The transport
arrangements are much complained of ; but the responsible
head of the land transport has had no easy task to per-
form in organising the heterogeneous crowd of muleteers
and camel-drivers, composed of anything but the best
specimens of the races dwelling on the coasts of the
Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean.
We have always regarded the transport as par excellence
the difficulty of the campaign ; and everything hinges on
an efficient system of transport for preserving the hedith
of the force, which has so far been excellent. One of our
correspondents dwells on the striking oontrast which has
been manifested in the liberal equipment of the hospital
ships, as compared with the meagre condition of the
medical stores of the Bombay army.—Lancet.

5, Wood-street, Milthank, Westminster,
October 5, 1867.
Sir,—Some months back I had an attack of Bronchitis,
which left at times a tickling in my Throat, with other
unpleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAM OF
ANISEED ; I did so, and have found very great relief ; is
most comforting in allaying irritation, and giving strength
to the voice.

You are at liberty to make use of this as you think pro-
per, and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as
I have done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser-
vant, SAMUEL DEAR,
Dean's Verger, Westminster Abbey.
To Mr. Powell.

THB LABOUR MARKET IN VICTORIA.

The Melbourne Argus says :—" Scarcely any alteration
has occurred in the market during the month. Although
harvest operations have set in, rates of labour remain sta•
tionary. Inquiry for all kinds of farm labour is brisk, and
the demand is fairly supplied. Persons possessing a com-
petent knowledge of cheese-making are sought after, and
would quickly meet with profitable engagements ; this
branch of daily produce is beginning to engross unusual
attention. The immigrants who arrived by the Can-
terbury last week experienced no difficulty in obtain-
ing situations. Alluding to the present system adopted
for the distribution of assisted immigrants, the
Pastoral Times protests against the syetem of
discharging immigrants on the large towns,' where
they quickly become idle, demoralised, and even-
tually a burden to the country.' The same journal
advocates the establishment of depots throughout the
populous districts of the interior, where the class referred to
would be certain to find instant employment. Quotations
are as follows : Shepherds, £33 to £4O per annum : hut-
keepers, £22 per do. ; shearers, 14s. to 15s. per 100, with
rations ; lads who can milk, lls. per week : general farm
labourers, 13s. to 15s. do. ; three-rail fencers (stuff laid on
the line), ls. Pd. to 2s. per rail ; grubbers and splitters and
fencers, 4s. to 4s. 6d. per rod ; wood-splitters, 3s. 6d. per
ton ; gardeners, 20s. to 255. and 30s. (first class) per week ;
bush carpenters, 183. to 20s. per week, with rations ;
general carpenters, undertaking bush work, 305. cl.). ;
black and shoeing smiths, 30s. do. ; wheelwrights,
333. to £2 do. ; brickins,kers, 18s. to £1 per 1,000,
with rations ; married couples, without encumbrance
(first class), £t3o per
_annum ; do. (second class), £45 to
£35; female servants (good) country, £26 ditto; cooks,
housemaids, £26 ditto.; laundresses, £26 to £2B ditto;
nurse-girls ss. to 7s. per week. Common labour may be
quoted at Gs. to 7s. per day. Mr. Alfred Levi, of the
Victorian Mercantile Registration Office, reports We
have to report an improvement in business this
month, in consequence of the changes which usually
occur in mercantile houses during this period of the
year. Junior drapers have been in demand, country
hands particularly. Commercial travellers have been
inquired for, but it is difficult to get first-class men.
Bookkeepers and clerics are not in good request ; a number
of both classes are unemployed. Grocers and iron-
mongers' assistants have been demanded, and have been
filled up pretty well. For boot salesmen there have been
no inquiries. Applications for tutors have been meagre.
Theatrical assistants arc not looked for. A few stationers'
assistants have been supplied for New Zealand. No altera-
tion has taken place in the apprentices and boys and
youths' department."

NEWOATE AND LEADENHALL.

MEAT.—There is a demand for prime small mutton, and
also for small superior carcases, but fat, heavy sheep
are a dragging sale. We quote prime, 4s 2d to 4s 4d;
middling, 3s to 3s 10d. The beef trade is dull, and
a prime sizeable Scot body would hardly exceed 4s,
at the same time there is very little rough meat
under 3s 4d per stone. Medium sorts sell at 3s 8d slowly.
Prime small veal is scarce, and worth 5s to 5s 4d ; large,
4s Bd. Pork dull, at 3s 4d to 4s per stone of 81bs by the
carcase.

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE,

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this com-
pany was held at the London 'Tavern--Col. Pear
son in the chair.
The report, an abstract of which has appeared in
The Sun, was taken as read.
'The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said it contained all that it was necessary to
place before the shareholders, bnt there were some
facts to which he would allude. Theirs was one of
the largest mineral carrying companies in the king-
dom as compared with the passengers carried, and
when the depression which had generally prevailed
in the mineral trade was considered, the company
might be congratulated on the manner in which it
had held its ground. The iron trade was exceed-
ingly busy in 1860, while during the last half year
the trade was in such a condition that one of the
largest establishments had stopped work, while
others were only on half work ; yet, notwith-
standing, the iron ore carried during the last
year had exceeded by 23 per cent. that carried in
the flourishing year of 1860. Then, too, the coal
traffic had increased by 57 per cent., and he need
not tell them that had the iron trade been in a
good condition the coal carried would have greatly
increased. He then referred to the pottery car-

THE LA7E SIR DAVID BREWSTER.

The remains of Sir David Brewster are to be
interred to-day in the Abbey burying-ground,
Melrose. The university will be closed during the
whole of the day, and the members of the Univer-
sity Court and the Senatus Academicus are to pro-
ceed to Melrose and join the cortege at the Abbey
gate. A large deputation of members of the Royal
Society, of which Sir David was president, will be
present. A correspondent sends the following from
Melrose :—Sir David was ailing for some time be-
fore his death, and was attended by Dr. Anderson,
of Selkirk, who from the first saw that his life would
soon be closed. He was sensible for a few days before
his death, but on the Sunday he knew none
around his death-bed. On Monday afternoon he
was a little easier, and hopes, slight though they
were, were entertained that he might survive a day
or two longer. About seven that evening he be-
came worse, and his last words were, " I am dying."
His death has cast a deep gloom around the dis-
trict. It was in the Canongate of Jedburgh, on
the 11th of December, 1781, that David Brewster
first saw the light. His father was teacher of the
Grammar School, which at that dine was held in the
Lady Chapel of Jedburgh Abbey. It was in this
place that James Thompson, author of " The Sea-
sons," received part of his education, and here
David Brewster first began his learning. Near to
this aisle was the north transept (now used as the
burying place of the Lothian family),
where was kept
the scaffold and gallows upon which those who were
sentenced to capital punishment suffered. "It was
considered a great feat," said Sir David to the writer
of this, " for one of the scholars to go by himself
and touch this scaffold ;" and he added with glee,
" I was thus always considered a hero, as I often,
often did it."
While young, he frequented a
weaving-shop in Queen-street of the same town,
and entered into conversation with the men. One
of his schoolmates generally went with him, and
on one of these visits young Brewster had raised an
argument which kindled the interest of the weavers.
After they had debated warmly for some time, in
which Brewster had had the best of it, an old wo-
man, sitting at her spinning-wheel, said, " Ay, ay,
Dauvid lad, ye're i' the richt. Ye'll rise to be a big
man i' this wand gin ye behave yertiell"

THE DISTURBANCES 1N PORTUGAL.

The following details of the disturbances at
Villa Nova de Famelicao, in Portugal, have been
received :

" Prior to the 29th January a . rumour was cur-
rent in Villa Nova de Famelicao that there would
be on that day some disturbance at the market
there in connection with the sale of corn, and the
authorities therefore had requested the commander
at Braga to send over a sufficient number of soldiers
to maintain order. Iu consequence of this request,
on the 28th January a force of 20 men of the Bth
Regiment under the command of a lieutenant, ar-
rived in the town. On the 29th ult., which was
market-day, between 2 and 3 p.m., the time at
. which the corn-carts had to pass through the town,
some of the people armed with clubs prevented the
corn-carts from leaving the town. Thereupon the
military were caned out, but the soldiers, seeing the
number of the populace assembled, were able to do
nothing, the commander declaring he had not suf-
ficient men, and matters remained in statu quo.
That night the alarm-bell was rung in the parish
of Callendario, in the neighbourhood of Villa Nova
de Famelicao, and it was said a large mob
had reassembled in the street there to prevent the
corn from passing. Matters remained unchanged
until the Ist inst., when a fresh force of 50 soldiers
of the Bth Infantry and 7th Cavalry Regiments
arrived at Villa Nova. Upon this measures were
taken, and the carters were advised not to take the
corn that day through the town. During the night
of the 2d inst. the alarm-bell was again rung in
several parishes of the district nearest the town.
On the morning of the 3d three carts were laden
for the transport of the corn, and at 9 a.m. these
started, headed by the military. When about two
kilometres from the place called De Bairval a large
number of men made their appearance, from the
midst of whom a shot was fired and stones were
thrown at the soldiers. This compelled the military
to repel force with force, which resulted in the
death of three or four persons among the populace,
besides the wounding of many others, some seri-
ously. The mob seeing matters becoming serious,
at once fled, and order was speedily re-established.
The rioters consisted of 200 or 300 individuals, all
belonging to the lowest order. Not a single artisan
or member of the better classes took part in the
disturbance."

ME TROOPS IN ABYSSINIA

According to tne reports which we nave received from
our medical correspondents, matters are progressing very
favourably. Two piers at the point of debarkation are
to process of completion. Normandy's condensing
apparatus have been fixed, and the American pumps
at Koomaylee are working effectually in supplying water,
so that we may reasonably hope this essential to
man and beast, particularly in the hot lowlands, will
not be the very costly matter that has been stated.
The sanitary condition of the camp is good, and the field
hospitals are already in fair working order. At one time
the base of operations at Annesley Bay was beginning to
assume, from want of proper organisation, anything but a
satisfactory state, which might have been productive of
serious consequences. An Oriental encampment in the
hot, moist climate of the littoral in that latitude, with
thousands of men and cattle, every day adding to their
numbers, and a deficient water supply, will require un-
ceasing vigilance to maintain a good sanitary condition.
Disease, if it once appear at this point, will be liable
to contaminate both the land route and the shipping. The
commissariat officers were working very hard, but were
much hampered for want of subordinates. The transport
arrangements are much complained of ; but the responsible
head of the land transport has had no easy task to per-
form in organising the heterogeneous crowd of muleteers
and camel-drivers, composed of anything but the best
specimens of the races dwelling on the coasts of the
Persian Gulf, the lied Sea, and the Mediterranean.
We have always regarded the transport as par excellence
the difficulty of the campaign ; and everything hinges on
an efficient system of transport for preserving the he/Ith
of the force, which has se far been excellent. Ona of our
correspondents dwells on the striking oontrast which has
been manifested in the liberal equipment of the hospital
ships, as compared with the meagre condition of the
medical stores of the Bombay army.—Lancet.
