There were about the usual number Of spec

mother, was in the diplomNic gallery; and
rumor has 1t, that no took sound sleep for
sometime while the trial was going OF.
Mr.. Williams flashed his argument, aud
Mr.. Eyarts commenced his and will finish to-
day. 1t is not yet certain whether Mr.. Stan

to be settled, however, that he will have his
say.
There was quite spicy sparrins exhibition
between Mr.. Butler and Judge Nelson on the
Alta Vela case. This episode in the impeach-

full scope to write book on the " Domestic

many years ago, which we read In our boy.

WHAT ms 10 CONE OF ITf

The unexpected success Of the English arms
10 Abyssinia bids fair to be something more
than nine days wonder; indeed, II Will exert
q very important influence In England, by
Strengthening Mr.. Dlsraelis ministry, and
may result In giving to the newP remier alease
of power which will be potential for some time
TO come.
II IL useless now to argue In respect to what
Theodorus m ght have done, had he been wiser,
and shown less temerityi had he comprehended
this one fact, that his troops were no match
against the disciplined soldiers Of one of the
most powerful and civilized nations of the
earth. It may be said that the Emperor OF
Abyssinia should not have risked so much
that he should have retreated into the inte-
rlor, given up his capital, and thus drawn the
Invaders on till the rainy season commenced,
when the elements would have fought for him,
and the pestilential vapors OF the country
would have cut down his asssilants by the
score and BY the hundred. All this might have
been, but all this Is not; and we must, there.
fore, take things as they are. Theodorus Is
dead. Abyssinia Is conquered; the British
eaptives are free, and England has secured all
the objects for which she undertook this inva-
sion; but the end Is not yet.
Mr.. Disraeli may now appeal to Parliam ent
and to the people, and demand a continuation
of power to perfect, in behalf OF Britain, the
work which has been begun. England Is no
much In the habit OF throwing away her OPP
portunitles, and without doubt she has In all
this, or her wise statesmen have, an eye to
the rich provinces which stretch from Egypt
to the Indian ocean, and from the Nile to the
Red Sea. These lands are capable Of produce
Ing In abundance cotton and coffee. There 10

mated to cover in extent an area equal to the
thirteen original colonies.
Whatever England may do towards grasp.

she shall avail herself OF this opportunity OF
not, one thing is certain: this decided victory
which her arms have achieved will strengthen
the Disraeli ministry, and are anew the Brit.
