THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.

Mr. D. GRIFFITHS hoped he might be excused re-
ferring to the curt answer in which the right hon. gen-
tian] an the Chancellor of the Exchequer had given to the
hon. gentleman opposite. He should like to know
whether it was the £2,000,000 or the £4,000,000 which
had not been exceeded. It was important the house
should know.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
thought his former answer was plain and complete, and he
uow could only say that the general estimate he had
placed before the house had not been exceeded.

pANDLES.—If you do not want your candles
NJ 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," " N 0.3," or "BATTERSEA "
COMPOSITE, in
.preference to the finest and most transparent
Paraffine candles. But if you must have the extreme trans-
parency of pure Paratline, "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 Paraffin 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. The
"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.

SATISFACTORY LETTER.
5, Wood-street, Millbank, 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 ; -1 did so, and have found very great relief ; it 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.

POSTAGE TO AMERICA.
Mr. BAXTER asked the Secretary to the Treasury if
it was true that the Government had already given notice
to the Government of the United States to terminate the
Postal Treaty between the two countries which had only
been in operation a few weeks; and, if so, what were the
reasons for adopting so unusual a course ?
Mr. HUNT said the hon. member had been rightly
informed about the termination of the postal convention,
with America. When the Post-office put it into operation
it was found it required revision, and in order that that
revision might take place, it was necessary to give notice
of its termination. Negociations were going on which he
had no doubt would terminate in an improved conven-
tion being agreed to.
BANKRUPTCY BILL.
Mr. MOFFATT asked the Attorney General when he
intended to bring in the Bankruptcy Bill.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL could not state the precise
day the bill would be brought in, but it would be intro-
duced in the other house shortly.

LATEST FROM THE CAPTIVES.-THEODORE.

There are letters from the Magdala captives dated De-
cember 31, r n 1 enclosing also a letter from one of the cap-
tives with Theodore, but they still contain only the same
old story, with very slight variations. Somebody is still
engaged in " watching " Theodore—a military manoeuvre
which bids fair to become famous in Abyssinian tactics.
Theodore is within two days' march, according to the
map, of Magdala, but, nevertheless, is not expected
to reach it, unless he abandons his mortars and
heavy baggage, for two months. The stories about
his proceedings are as strange as ever—too strange
almost for invention. He is still carrying out with
a vengeance his last theory, that he has a mission from
God to scourge the wicked nation which refused to let
itself be reformed under his gentle guidance. He sum-
moned his chief followers around him the other day, told
them that they had better destroy him, as otherwise ha
should destroy them, and then launched his spear through
the body of the nearest. The rest, says the story, threw
themselves down and kissed the ground. He does not spare
even his own picked soldiers, and if a tithe of what is
told of him be true, he is almost without a precedent in
history. Other tyrants have made the nobles, the people,
and the soldiery by turns their victims ; but Theodore
makes war upon them all at once, and is hated only less
than he is feared.

FAIR NEAR SENAFE.

The Daily News correspondent describes a fair which is
held every Thursday, about six miles from Senaf4, at
which several hundred Abyssinians collect, bringing for
sale various kinds of grain, pottery, plaids of goats' wool,
bullocks, and occasionally a female slave or two. "The
fair," says the writer, "when I visited it, had more than
an average show of pottery, plaids, and Abyssinians, but
the out-turn of bullocks and grain was very scanty indeed,
the commissariat having bought up the whole at six
times the rates that formerly ruled at Tigr6. There was
not, from one end of the hillside to the other, one
single sign of prosperity, or even plenty ; and the
sword and spear which almost every one carried
explained the reason why. They have yet to learn the use
and value of money ; the absurd prices demanded for the
most trifling articles shew that the ideas prevailing regard-
ing dollars are such as to preclude the possibility of their
deriving much advantage from the possession of them.
One thing must be said to the credit of the Abyssinians—
though there were several hundreds collected there, each
following his own inclinations unchecked, it was the most
orderly and quiet assemblage I have witnessed for a long
time. Half the number of Hindoos or Parsees would have
made twenty times the din ; half-a-dozen fat Bhattias in
the Bombay share market would gabble two hundred
Abyssinians into shame and confusion.

THE ADVANCE INTO ABYSSINIA.

The letters received from Abyssinia bring us intorrnation
from Senaf4 up to the 2nd inst. All, or nearly all the
great difficulties encountered at the .outset of the expedi-
tion seem to have been surmounted. The first considera-
tion is the route. There is now an admirable road through
the Sooroo Pass. The huge boulders which bestrode the
narrow pathway, like Apollyon, frowning down contemp-
tuous defiance upon the pigmy pilgrims who dared dispute
the pass with them, and looking as immoveable as the moun-
tains they garrisoned, have disappeared as if by magic or
miracle. The Raraguddy defile, and the steep ascent ap-
proaching Senaft, are now as practicable for all the purposes
of the expedition as any turnpike road. In the matterof sup-
plies, also, the greatest difficultie4 have been overcome.
Norton's pumps, although somewhat delicate, have worked
admirably, and in addition to these there is now one at
Mayen, of Bastier's, which supplies 700 gallons in an
hour, and is worked for fourteen hours a day.
Beyond Sonde the troops seem to be drawing ample sup-
plies from the country. Thousands of sheep and cattle
can be purchased in the country through which the
army will have to pass ; hay is now brought in by the
Abyssinians, or cut by the native followers in such quanti-
ties as to supply, not only Senaf6, but Raraguddy and
Tindal Wells besides ; and the officer in command of the
Scinde Horse at Focada can buy four times as much grain
daily as his horses require.

DEATH OF MR. JUSTICE ,GHEE.

We have to announce the decease of Sir William
Shee, one of the judges of the Court of Queen's
Bench, which took place yesterday morning at a
quarter past eight, at his residence in Sussex-place,
Hyde Park-gardens. The late judge was the son
of Mr. Thomas Shee, of Thomastown, county Kil-
kenny, by the daughter of Mr. John Darell, of Scot-
ney Castle, Kent. His lordship was in his 64th year,
having been born in 1804. He was educated at Ushaw
Roman Catholic College, and in 1823 was called to
the English Bar, selecting the Home Circuit, of
which he became at length the leader. In the year
1837 he married Miss Gordon, daughter of Sir Jas.
Gordon, Bart., of Gordonstown and Letterfourie,
Banffshire. In 1840 he was created sergeant-at-
law, and in 1845 became Queen's sergeant. In 1847
he was a candidate at the general election for
Marylebone ; and in 1852 he sought the suffrages of
the men of his own county with such success as
to come in at the head of the poll. His sound
sense and honesty, however, did not suit the
factious party of Irish members whom he had
joined ; and, in consequence of his readiness to
accept a bill proposed by the Government to
redress the grievances of the Irish tenant
farmer, he was accused of political treachery
and rendered unpopular among his constituents.
Nevertheless, on the dissolution in 1857 he again
sought their confidence, and his bold and manly
defence of his political course and consistency pro-
duced no small effect amongst those who had
been led to oppose him, but it did not turn
the tide in his favour. On the next election iu
1859 he again attempted to obtain the representa-
tion of his own county, but was again defeated.
On this occasion he received such support as has
rarely in Ireland been given to a Roman Catholic
candidate—for be received the vote of at least one
Church of England rector. After this failure the
learned sergeant made an unsuccessful attempt to
obtain a seat for an English borough, but, with this
exception, took no part in political affairs. His
position at the bar and his known ability had long
marked him out for a seat on the bench, but the
fact of his being a Roman. Catholic rendered
some of those high in office unwilling to
appoint him to this position. Hence he was
once or twice passed over, and it was not till the
bar and the press had strongly urged his claims
that in 1864 he was appointed one of the judges °f
the Court of Queen's Bench, a position the duties
of which he ably discharged during his short tenure
of the office.
It appears that the learned judge, who bad at-
tended to his duties in court on Friday, the It
instant, was struck with apoplexy on Saturdali
and, though he rallied a little, he soon again bego
to decline in strength till he passed away as above
mentioned.

THAMES.

FRAUD BY AN INSURANCE AGENT.—Henry Webb,
a well-dressed man, formerly a clerk, was brought
before Mr. Paget, on a warrant, charged with
fraudulently obtaining from Elizabeth Collier, the
sum of £2 135., under pretence of insuring her hus-
band's effects and tools ou board ship, during a
foreign-going voyage.
The evidence of the complainant was to the follow-
ing effect :—The prisoner called upon Mrs. Collier
and her husband before the latter went to sea, and
represented himself as the agent of the Marine and
General Mutual Life Insurance Society, in Leaden-
hall-street. He offered to insure Mr. Collier's chest,
effects, and tools. He was asked the cost, to which
he replied £2 10s. to insure £5O, and gave Mrs.
Collier and her husband several books and prospec-
tuses relating to insurance offices. He filled up a
printed form of the Marine and General Mutual
Life Insurance Office, which the husband signed.
After Collier had gone to sea, Mrs. Collier paid the
prisoner 10s., for which he gave a receipt now pro-
duced. On the following day she paid the prisoner
£2 more, and he demanded 3s. in addition because
the ship was laden with coal and iron, which made
the risk much greater than a ship laden with an
ordinary cargo. The 3s. was paid, and a second
receipt given for £2 3s. Mrs. Collier said that she
parted with the money on the faith of the prisoner's
representation that he was an agent of the Marine
and General Mutual Life Insurance Society.
The witness underwent a long cross-examination
by the prisoner. 113 r evidence was not shaken.
She said that her attention was not called to the
fact that in the book which the prisoner left with
her her attention was not called to tli• fact that
the charge was £2 12s. 6,1. for an insurance of £5O.
Mr. Robert Henry Allen, dock agent to the
Marine and General Mutual Life Insurance So-
ciety, said the prisoner was, not and never had
been, an agent of that company, and that Collier's
effects and tools had not been insured by the priso-
ner or any other person. The prisoner called on
him a few days ago, and said he had made a pro-
posal at the company's office to insure Collier's
chest, clothes, and tools, and that the proposal had
been declined. He asked the prisoner why the
money had not been returned when the office re-
fused to accept the risk ? To which he replied that
he intended to apply
to a Liverpool office. Collier,
the seaman, had gone out in a ship called the Wild
Hunter, and the society witk which he was con-
nected would not accept of any insurances upon a
visit of kindness.

Charles Abbott, No. 322 K, said he took the pri-
soner into custody last night iu Poplar, and he said
he was about to pay the money he had received to
Miss Collier.

The prisoner made a long defence,
in effect that
he meant to insure as pro wised, and that he never
represented himself as the agent of any particular
office.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
