IRISH REGISTRATION BILL.

Mr. DISRAELI said, in order to suit the convenience
of hon. members, he was quite willing to place the Irish
Registration Bill first on Monday without a morning

sitting.

Mr. CHILDERS said the right hon. gentleman had, at
a time when, there was a much fuller attendance, given an
assurance that, iu the evant of other business admitting,
he would go on with the bill on th-tt evening.
Mr..DISHAELI said he tryg-cly made the suggestion, as
he was_informed that other arrangements were incon-
venient.

The sittiug of the h)use was then suspinded.

the Continent.

GOSSIP ABOUT ABYSSINIA.—The Abyssinian cam-
paign was as remarkable probably fur the slight amount o:
sickness and mortality as for the small number of wounds
which attended it. We have ascertained, that the deaths
among the British part of the forces, from the first landing
in December last until its departure in May, amounted to
seven officers and twenty-five men. Two officers and eight
men died below Senafe, and five officers and seventeen
men at different places below the station. The majorpart
of the force was, we believe, beyond Senafe. DyseLtery
was the cause of about half the number of deaths. The
army is supposed to have quitted the ,country just at the
rii;ht time. There can be no doubt that several promo-
tions in the Army Medical Department must follow th(.
successful termination of the campaign. Although the
bead of the medical service in Abyssinia failed to obtain
the thanks of Parliament, we presume that he is, in com-
mon with four or five others, certain of obtaining a step it.
