(Un the whole, travellers. are recommended to avoid the neighborâ€" hood of the Azubs Gallas. The Wollo Gallas, who have been already adverted to as occupying the distticts between Manilek‘s kingdom ot Shoa and the confinesof Northern Abysâ€" sinia, are greatly superior to their Azuba coâ€"réligionists, . Though braye and warâ€" like, they are at the same time a mild and intelligent people ; and in spite of the.ignorance in which they are steeped, we saw much that was good in them. ‘They speak, of course, the Galla language, ut their priests read andwrite Arabic a« well. ‘The best horses we anywhere en e s 9 as well. The best horses we anywhere saw in Abyssinia are bred by these Gallas, and are reared in large herds which run wild round the villages. Every colt is taken up, cut, and put to work when two years old. No horses are reserved to a maturer age for stud: purposes, hor can the size of a particular foal be ascertained. C os. .e o ies on oo o > Fourteen hands is the extreme limit of height they grow to, and eyen that is very rare. Brown, grey and chestout are the common colours.~ Most .of the little fe‘â€" lows are marked with the fyâ€"bites which are often seen on borses bred it the Cape of Good Hope. This shows that the cattleâ€"fy, of :Ech we at one time heard so much, is at least no myth, although, hapâ€" pily, we ourselves saw nothing of it. The aglity with which these horses gallop up aad ‘down the. steep hillâ€"sides, or bound with tnernn§ footstep over" the most broken ground, is a good illustration of what may be effected by early educat on, especially when transmitted to generation | after generation. The cireumstance of shoes not being required for them, cannot be fairly quoted in proof that shoes might be dispensed with for our horses generally, because the soil of the country in which they are used is very soft. It is covered with stones, it is true; but there is a difâ€" ference between the hoof becoming hardâ€" ened so as to endure with impunity occaâ€" sional shocks from those on the one hand, and of acquiring the power of resisting the attrition:mduccd by gnveg{ soils on the other. Nothing but iron will be proof for many days together against the constant wear and tear of the latter process. The extreme docility of the Galla ponies, and ‘cf Abyssinian {oneo altogether, is a proof of their masters‘ hnmi;y and evenness ‘of temper. It is doubtful if any: horse â€" is naturally wicked or malevolent, although ‘¥icious men make what are called vicious respect with which the Grailas received Meer Akbar Alee on his appearance among. them. . He arrived at a most critical time â€"just as the people, terrified at the apâ€" proach of our army, were deserting their villages by hundreds. In a fewâ€" days more, not a hurman being would have reâ€" mained within a cireuit of many miles of. Magdala, except, of course, those in our own camp. Queen Mastceat herself had retired to a distant fortress, carrying with her the young Prince, Ex:nn Ahn:ad. The utmost intense fear and hatred of |‘ ‘Theodorus pervaded all classes. He had | burned their mosques, slain their religious | teachers, and carried off their daughters ; | ard now that the British, as was believed | . were coming to strengthen him, extirpation |, seemed staring them in the face. Meer| Akbar Alee was well fitted to reassure them on this subject. Pointing to the |‘ blackened ruins of the sacred buildings, he | reminded them of the imperative duty |/ resting on every Moslem to hold life as | nothing in avngilgontngu such as they have endured. ‘They readily admitted | that it was so ; and, appealing to their new guide as one omdb’ their common faith under that obligation equally with themâ€" selves, yowed to sumfl)y’ him to the last in acting against Theodorus. Masteeat, on hearing what was pani:&, hurried to the rendezvous, and threw all her influence into the seale. â€" Mcer Akbar Alee‘s pop ularity and ascerdancy increased every liour, more especially after he had formâ€" ally invested the young Prince, Eman Abmad, with the great shield of his anâ€" cestors, which Masteeat, in a moment of generosity, had forced upon his acceptance â€"not quité to the satisfaction, as was easily to be seen, of her own chicfs. Only once did symptoms of the old panic. reâ€"apâ€" pear among our soldiers; and that was when, after the battle of Arogeh, spies brought the news that the King had sent messengers to the British Camp for the purpose of making peace. This was exâ€" actly what Meeker Akbar Alee had assured them would not be done;, and he had. some difficulty in satisfying them that ‘Theodore‘s overtures wou{d ve abortive * unless he was prepared to gg‘: himself up Nothing exceed the kinduess and mect vim the Gallas received a prisoner, in which case the British would not fail to carry him out of the country® and consign him to a certain fapoo or small island, in which they ‘had once acâ€" eommodateti a famous. Frenchman, who had troubled the world much as Theodoâ€" rus had done Abyssinia! It so happened that, in thus 3rawing on his limited knowledge of European history for what he conceived a case in point, our friend had no other authority than his own ; and yet he expressed his chief‘s intentions with tdlerable accuracy, as the resuit shortly proved to the satisfaction of all concerned. Little of outward state surâ€" rounded Queen Mastceat, although her suthority was sufficiently absolute. , Her pfincipaf residence was a humble enough ing all their jewellery and trinkets on the walls of the receptionâ€"room, as olten as friends are expectec® This is instéad of carrying off their gossips to cozy little rooms filled with wardrobes, as is the cusâ€" tom of our own excellent wives, there spend an afternoon in trying to make the l visitor break the tenth commandment amid | _ a pile of shawls and silk dresses. The arâ€" ray of silver ornaments on Masteeat‘s parâ€" lourâ€"walls was described as rather pretty. Her limited revenue is derived chiefly from a salt fhty, a small tax on villages, m: certain sum on the sale of every , mule, ox, donkey, and sheep.

Mothers are probably | the same all the world over, and the affecâ€"| tion she showed for her son was: striking. | To praise or notiee the boy was to cause | the dame to seize one‘s hand and respectâ€"| fully kiss it, after a fashion which told of a | good heart and a simple nature.. â€"__ _ ! e o P c Nce The fact of reiigious intolerance being | very often the fiereer towards a particular | sect in proportion as the grounds of dit‘-‘ ference between the latter and our own are | few or trifling, is well illustrated in Abysâ€" sinia. The national creed is essentiaily ‘ that of the Catholie Church as existing prior to the Reformation, excepting on one | or two abstruse points of doctrine, relating chiefly to the nature and office of the Holy Spirit. â€" Nevertheless just as the Sgottish Presbyterian of the characteristic .. type | would prefer. saying his prayers, if he willl Hrdon us the c-xrrcssion, by the side of a | ottentot or a Hindoo rather than under the same roof with a Papist, or possibly even an Episcopalian, so are the Abyssinâ€" ians prepared to fraternize with Pagans or Protestants, Brahmins or Methodists, but not on any account with Roman Cathoâ€" lics. Their hatred of Muhainmadans deâ€" pends on political and not on speculative grounds, since they live ia constant fear ot, Turkish acgression. Their, mass, liturgy, sacraments, holydays, and fasts, are those of Rome. â€" Originally ~the Abyssinian Church was an offshoot of the Greek Church of: Saint Marcos, but when that saint‘s seat was usurped by the Copts, the latter succeeded in forcing bishops of their own on Ethiopia, where .the Coptic Paâ€" triarch of Alexandria is to this dayâ€" recogâ€" nised as the carthly head of the Church.

But the votâ€" ing away of $50,000 in ‘the absence of any _ reasonable ground for the step, will be likely to excite a feeling of indignation among the people.. If the Province had become so pooFâ€"under Confederation, 28 the @antis" have alleged, surely it was the duty ot the Government to have lusbanded what little revenues it had; but in point of fact the local ministry has fount itself in the possession of a large surplus, and this surâ€" pius, or a portion of it, is to be locked up, or, perhaps, squandered, to the amount of oneâ€" third of the educational grant of the Province â€"and tor what purpose ?

But may it not be that the ‘ same system followed for such a long period, has in a measure fallen behind the age? Assuredly the association seems rather to be driven by, than to lead, the public, for we find that while the people pay some $6,000 for "membership‘* or entrics; and some $10,000 ‘l’or uck&at the gate ; wh !> the Proviace makes a considerable money grant, and the city in which the show is held is expected to do the eame, there are but about $13,000 laid aside for prizes, and (judging from former exhibitions) perhaps two or three thousand. dollars of this sum ‘are never awarded for the want of competition.

But with all our great expectations wo were certainly w0 P wy s de o o msccss car l €BRP UHT alv-' Eie ooo en d 7 not prepared to see| the Skating Rink Hall crowded so full as to render it difficult to obâ€" tain a seat. ~From the orchestra to the upper gallery all seemed one mass of living: beings. Our surprise at the audience, howeover, was as nothing compared with the performances. All would have been satisficd with seâ€"ing the graceful and masterly exploits of the Hanâ€" lons, with which we were all fimiliar. Judge, then, of the surpriss of the audience. at beâ€" holding the Hanlons multiplied by many. The midgets, a tiny trio of fairy athletes, perâ€" torming in miniature the wonderful feats of their masters; was in reality more than was bargained tor. The Pyramid Crystale, by Geo. Hanlon, was truly wonderful, Miss Emily Thorne‘s vocal powers, Mr. Blamptin on the _harp, and the wellâ€"known Mr. Sedgwick, all were joudly aud continuously applauded to Mo P Pn lt nente S ET the very echo, and show that the Hanlons are excellent judges in such matters, or have reâ€" taincd the services of an impressairo who has studied the physiology of the public taste profitably to his retainegs. The Hanâ€" lons~ arrived |too lats last evening _ to admit of the trapeze being put up, but this evening all will be arranged, and Pfau, tha Russian athlete, will add his, daring feats to the already very rich programme. [T‘he manâ€" agzement promise to extend the stage of the Rink a considerable distance in front, to enâ€" able them to perform other feats. ° [From the London Times, September 15.] We have as little reagon as disposition to doub§the truth of the report that the question of the Alabama claims is at length in the way | . of speedy and satisfactory scttlement. The new American Minister, it is said, has brought | : with him full powers for adjusting the differâ€" | ences between England and the United States, | without reference to any previous phases of | the controversy. He comes, in short, a plehipo. | tentiary on the question, and such an envoy |. was all that was required. Jt would be child» ish, as well as useless, to dissemble the truth in this mutter. ‘There never was in the case itself any such difficulty as would have preâ€" cluded a settlement if the Americans had wished it to bo settled. _ The real question be(ween the two countriecs was not a question of damages or compensation, but of offence given and resentment expressed. _ Had the gencral attitude of England during the war ‘been unobjectionable in the eyes of Americans, the Alabama claims would sither never have been preferred, or would have been settled out of bhand. No American statesman ever believed that the Alabama escaped by our wilâ€" ful connivance, or that she was let loose by hostile design to prey upon Federal commerce. Whother the imperfections of our laws or the remissness of our authorities did or did not render us in any degree respongible for the mixchief which ensued might, perhaps, be a question, but it was not a question which would have troubled the two Governments for an hour had it been approached in a spirit of mutual good will. ©The real point of contenâ€" tion was something very differemt, and Mr. Seward disclosed the truth when he desired to include in the proposed arbitration our recogâ€" nition of the soceders as belligerents. Even this the Americans would have found it hard to turn into a cognizable grievance, but it was the one overt act in which seemed to be ex.â€". pressed that feeling, or want of feeling, on the part of this nation of which the Americans complained. Their true grievance against us was that we. had not sympathized with the North in its struggles for union, and not even â€"| deprecated disunion as the result of the con | test. Then, whenâ€"the contest was over, they evinced their resentment by keeping open & difference whichâ€" might othorwise have been scttled immediately. _ Woâ€"rpoak the plain | truth about the matter, for the Americans are | just as conscious of*it as we are, and, besides, we are free to acknowledge that on some points | we were wrong, and that neither the offence taken nor the retaliation practised can be conâ€" ‘ | sidered as entirely unreasonable. â€" § 8, SE PTHE = e y »nrnPBA_Dmy If an impartial American were to put the case temperately against us, he would probâ€" ably compress it into the asgertion that a kindred. and friendly nation, engaged in a struggle for the preservation of its sovereign existence, and the ful@lment of its highost destinics, descrved at least active sympathy at ou® hands. He would urge that the Union and its institutions promised infinite advanâ€" tiges to the human race, and that the Conâ€" federacy, tounded on slavery, ought to have beea at once conderaned. He might further say that the Republican party, as represented in the Northern States, had always been wellâ€" disposed to England, and that the occasional provocations of which we ctomplained had proceeded from those very Southern men who had forme:ly monopolized political power and then betaken themselves to rebellion. These arguments, we now frankly admit, might all have been su'b‘cun‘tially lul’ttil:ed, and it is also clear, without qur confession, that we were mistaken in doubting the power or persistence of the North in the prosecution of the war, and in anticipating the ultimate success of the South through the weariness or disszensions of its adversaries. ‘To these ackâ€" nowledgments the Americans are welcome ; but as they, like ourselves, will have the ad.â€" vautage of time and reflection in a similar reâ€" trospect, they will, perhaps, discover some adâ€" missions to be made in their turn. ‘That the real genuine dirposition of the American uation towards ourselves was what Mr. Reverdy Johnson described it at Sheffield we do not doubt, and if we were to trace the resentment of the Americans to any single feeling, we should bo disposed to regard it as springing from a comparison of their own conscious sympathics with our manifest want of sympathy in the hour of their extreme peril. But though their chief men assure us, as all travellors assure us also, of the depth of this affection for the old country, it should not be Torgotten that the crJinary and visible signs of Amcr.can opinion too often wore & different complexion. We have no desire to dwell upon this point, but if there were psople in this country who doubted whether the aggrandizcâ€" ment of the Union would be conducive to Reverdy Johnson‘s Instructions. peace they might ceitaioly have found jusâ€" tification in the view which Americans had set forth, The ductrines, again, which bhad been openly professed in America on the subject of popular insurrection might have been quoted to defend the insurrection of six millions of THE ¢+ALABAMA* CLAIMS.
