THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.—The special cor-
respondent of the Times with the Abyssinian expedition
telegrams, under date Adabaga (?), February 22 :—" The
headquarters are here to-day with 1,000 men, about 50
miles from Antalo, and are likely to remain for several
days awaiting the advance of more troops and supplies,
which are delayed by the deficiency of the Transport
Corps. The British forces have occupied Antalo with 1,000
men. It is doubtful whether Kassel can leave Adowa to
meet Sir Robert Napier. The captives were in good health
up to the 30th of January. King Theodore has not yet
entered Magdala." [The above despatch was forwarded
from Alexandria, March 4, 11 a.m, by the new route, via
Norderney, Hanover.]

when a brilliant assemblage of patrons and friends were
present to witness various feats of arms, comprising
fencing for a silver cup, which was won by H. Nicholson,
Esq., after some splendid fencing. There were also some
spirited bouts of single stick, broadsword, sabre against
the bayonet, and boxing. Sergeant-Major Kelly, late
of the Royal Artillery, likewise exhibited some of his
marvellous feats with the sword, slicing the raw egg fixed
on rifles, cutting the apple in a handkerchief without
cutting the latter, &c., (4(.0. The general arrangements,
under the direction of Mr. Hal], gave every satisfaction,
and the various encounters were received with applause.
