Tuesday was resumed at the opening OF the court
yesterday morning. Mr.. Da Costa, counsel for the
ibellants, renewed the application he made yester-
day and prayed the court TO reconsider the decision
then arrived at IN reference to the l0ith rule, made
some thirty years ago by Judge etts and mover since
until now called IN question That rule mad reference
TO the consolidation of cases in order tna5 expense
and delay might be avoided in the administration
of the law. Judge Blatchford said he never heard
that the 104th rule referred 10 had been acted
upon. Mr.. D0nOhue, for claimants, StrenuouSly
opposed the consolidation sought by Mr.. Da Costa
upOa~ the ground that the did not originate aud

s0lidati0n moved for had not been heard OF until
the present case was actually before the court and
he resisted the motion to attach new case upon
the under hearing. The LIBEL OF the Officers aah

compensation for the alleged loss OF their Kits
and other personal property should noe De

the case OF the seamen was not in condition for
trial ON the present occasion. Mr. Da Costa con-
tended for his right TO urge the claims OF the sea-
men and the sppcation Of the 104tn rule to their
case, ana endeavOred to explain why the cases
were not filed and pursued concurrentiy, mas
much as the Louisiana pat 10 sea Immediately
after the libel had been filed against h'r, and tho

been filed from want OF time and preparation

order he had made yesterday, which WAS to the
effect that the oral testimony TO De received IN

The Abyssiniun Wur.

On Monday, the 10th, Mr. Hunt the Chan
cellor OF the Exchequer, stated in the House OF
Commons that the expedition to Abyssinia had
already cost the country sum approaching
close to four millions sterling. This is a fair
sum to begin with. So far as we know up
to the present moment the forces under Sir
Robert Napier have only secured position at
the summit of the heights. At Senafe where
they had established themselves, they were
many hundreds of miles from Magdala, and the
country through which they had to pass was
not only difficult and dangerous in the extreme,
80 far asst was known, certainly for the first
hundred miles, but, with the exception Of some
miserably lean cattle and some firewood, was
totally without the means of maintaining an
army. The army must thus be dependent on
Annesley Bay, and connection with the bay
can only be maintained by establishing along
the line Of march series of depots. This,
however, is not the worst The rainy season
Is about to set in, and, according to Sir Samuel
Baker, the best authority now on Abyssinia,
military operations must be suspended during
fits continuance The mountain passes will
become for the time 80 many rivers, tributary
to the great tributaries of the Nile. Commu-
'nication between depot and depot, and parti-
'cularly between the heights and the lower
ground, including the bay, will be impossible.
According to the same authority matters are
not much better for some time after the rains,
as the rank young grass is poisonous to the
cattle. The future Of the expedition is not,
therefore, particularly bright. 1t WILL we
fear, cost the British people many more mil
aions before its mission is accomplished.

societies, which turned out twenty thousand

on theline of march by more than two hundred
thousand sympathizers of both sexes. In the
evening two or three societies in this city, and
Others in Brooklyn, Jersey and Staten Island,
finished the festivities with the usual annual
banqusts. This is one of the demonstrative
ways in which our Irish fellow citizens show
their devotion to their ancient nationality. 1t

The Italian Fleet ON LIN Plata-Reasons for
the Observation-Disclosures to Italians to
He Punished.
FLORENCE, Feb 20, 1868.
The Italian feet Of seven war ships has sailed for
the Southern Ocean, and yet the authorities have
not degned to inform the world Of the purpose of
the voyage. The departure Of such powerful arma-
ment from the Mediterranean ON q secret mission
has created and, indeed, still creates much surprise
and although many conjectures are rife as to the
nature OF the work which the feet will be called
upon to perform, the whole movement Is 80 couded
In mystery that even here satisfactory explana-
uOn can be obtained.
While 1t s true that the greatest doubts and un-
certainty exist as to the object aimed at one reason
ds given which seems plausible enough. There are
at this time some seventy thousand Italians domi-
ctled on the shores Of the river La Plata and who
comprise part Of the most worthy citizens Of the
Banda Oriental and the Argentine Confederation.
Despite their value to the republics In which they
aive these enterprsing sons Of Italy have for some
years past been subjected to great injuries and IN
dignlties on the part OF the two govern:
ments and the native citizens, who never imagined
that day would come when wrongs in
Italy being no longer divided into numerous petty
soveregnties, each Independent and Jealous OF each
other the time has doubtless arrived when her sons
In foreign lands Will receive protection from the
government OF their native land. AS the Orientas
and the Argentnes have not ceased to persecue the
Italians resident within their borders, the departure
OF the fleet for their shores would indicate deter.
minaon on the part Of King Victor Emanuel to bring
these republics to proper sense OF their obligations
towards his subjects and government
That the foregoing explanations OF the reasons
which have caused the departure Of an Italian fleet
FOR South American waters are plausible will be
readily admitted. Some such measure too, on the
part OF the Italian government Is necessary, as much
TO create national pride as to prove to the world
that united Italy Is capable Of defending those OF her
sons who have removed to foreign countries.
The appearance OF the fleet In the La
Plata will, doubtless, create as decided q
sensation as did the exploit OF Garbaldi up the Pa-
Eana, when he captured all the Buenos Ayrean COM
mercal feet with its rich and varied cargo. 1t would
undoubtedly please Italy well II the lberator was In
command OF the war vessels that have sailed; but
Garbaldi's enmity for France renders 1t unsafe for
Victor Emanuel to appoint him to any prominent p0-
necessary for the completion and security OF Italian
Jllity.

ranks OF the organization have not relaxed, but are

Rumor has 1t that Mahon's efforts were not unat-

evidence to be produced at his trial win show dis
anectlon TO prevail TO an alarming degree In some
Irish regiments.
