just imagine yourself asked out to dine, and
finding the following dishes served at ia bic: A
dinner in the reign Of Charles of England con-
sisted of " A soupe Of snayles, powdered goose,
joll Of salmon and dish of green fish, butfered
with eggs" This was the first course. Then
came "A Lombard pye, cows udder, roasted
grand boyled meat, hedge hog pudding, a
rabbit stuffed with oysters: POIIOnian sa1ssgss
cocks" To these succeeded "a spinnage tart

. AByssIN1A.-The correspondent of the
London Times reports the condition OF
THEODORE as bad as it well can be. Beset
by enemies,-his whole country in state
of sedition, and portions already in re-
volt-he is yet moving forward to meet the
British army. He makes slow progress,
however, being much encountered by a
huge mortar weighing $1,000 pounds, with
which he probably hopes to pound the in
vaders. He had only advanced thirty
miles towards Msgdala, where his European
artisans had persuaded him that he could
make the best terms with tho British, that
being very defensible point. -
Strange TO say, notwithstanding the dis
content throughout bis doninions, all are
afraid of THEODORE. No one will venture
to attack him. he lays waste the country
in his march-seizes without scruple and
persecutes without mercy; bat such is the
power of his will and bis genius that he
spreads fear wherever he goes.
The British army is reported to be get
ting on. under many difficulties, as well as
possible, and the people are amazed that
they pay for what they want. Perhaps
he people will be less astonished when

Tart Correspondence.

| Messrs. AUG. BELMONT & Go. have re-
Gently addressed the Treasurer of the
State Of Pennsylvania, Mr.. W. Il. KEN
BILE, on behalf of the RoTHsCHILDs, asking
payment of interest on State bonds in
gold; and the payment of certain bonds
over due in gold; and also informing the
treasurer that greenbacks would be taken
only under protest.
The Treasurer replies very rudely.
Flatly refuses gold-pronounces the de-
mand ridiculous bias no doubt that
BELMONT g. Co. have paid liabilities out
when the legal-tender act was passed,
which became due after gold went up to so
premium-and he had not heard of their
1.-THE BELMoNrs) conscience compelling
"them to pay in gold instead of legal ten
"ders!" ..
BY way of rejoinder, BELMONT & Co. ex-
plain their relation to the transaction in
behalf of the RoTHscH1LDs, and inform the
Treasurer that his allusion to their liabili-
ties, and the manner Of their payment, is as
/" impertinent as it is untrue" and they
regret t.t that the State of Pennsylvania
"should have for its Treasurer person
"who could so far disgrace the State he
" assumes to represent, and forget the dig
"nity of the Office he holds, as to reply to
ga civil business communication in a
"manner which must raise the blush Of
shame on the cheek of every citizen of
"that great and honored State adding
to this "your obedient servant" Very
correct, Mr.. BELMONT. Such imperti-
nence and want of dignity we have never
heard of in SO high an officer as Treasurer
of State, and it would have been impos-
sible that such breach of propriety could
have happened in other days. 1t is q
sample Of the rule of these times.
