Flest ArisTRUE.

London, 29th January, The Manchester Guardian says that Sir J, Westland's scheme continues to be keenly dis oussed and that'opinione aro vory diverse. The aplauses naturally like the sohars better than the manufactavors, while the merchants are thankful for small mercies. Even among the masafnchers opinions differ, neording to the nature of the gods they produce. In the die cassion of general rosalts the Guardian says that the export of yarns is. likely to be atima- Per Pakun str., from Shanghai for Hongkong harder willys (yet) lata in preference to clash, Other proposed-Men J.

THE ITALIANS IN ABYSSINIA

Bombay, 24th January.

The Risbattino mail steamer, the Archimede, which arrived yesterday in Bozlay harbour from Genoa, touched at Marsowah dghi daya" age. It was then known that.a force of about 3,000 men holding out in Makaleh was hard pressed by want of water, the Abyssinians baring diverted the neighbouring streams. The garrizon had found means to remedy this incou venience by catting seabterranean olannel which supplied their more urgent needs. Thoro was some misgiving as to the possibility of this device being discovered by the caomy and counter.worked.

Captain Barbero, Italian Cousal in Bombay, has been instansted by telegrapha to despatch a thousand bullocks from the pork to Massornh, and also to procure for immediate transmission five thousand sun helmets. It is found more dificult than might have been expected to weet either of those not very formidable indents. Only Bfty bullocks could be obtained in Bombay, the number requirol for local enumption and Alangbter at Bundoro from day to day, being very limited. The Mofussil, however, was equal to the demand, and a British India steamer will take the whole thousand to Mass before the end of the month. The requisition for 5000
