BostoN Mass., May 11.—At the ex- amination of Martin, cashier of the Hide and Leather Bank, and of Felton, who received the abstracted money, it was testified by the President and John B. Alley, one of the directors, that the accused had admitted to them that the defalcation would amount to $180,000, but would not exceed $200,000. The real figures cannot be arrived at for some days. The examination resulted in holding Martin and Felton fora trial ; the former in hail of $50,000, and the latter at $100,000, her ministerial father, and the whole Partially recruiting both his health and hiz forces, he be- gan an indiscriminate career of pillage upon the “Paternal Government.” He was formally impeached by the Abys- sinian Romp, and summoned for trial. He went, but it was to the wager of battle. The respective chiefs sent out against him were defeated, and at himself, the Premier of the kingdom, and the father of his wife, by whom he was loved neither too wisely nor too As a result of this, he was crowned rus, at Aaum, by the Bishop of Salar- na. Fora while he was quiet, but invaded the territory of the Egyptian Seudan, after ineffectually having so- licited the Governments of France and England to join in his crusade, which comprised in design the re-establish- ment of the ancient Ethiopian Empire. The expedition was successful as against the Scudan.

A Mr. Plowden, British Consulate at Massowah had concluded a treaty fa- vorable to the residence and business of foreigners in the empire. 'Theodo- rus set his wise concession of Bas All, his enemy and father-in-law, quictly aside, and played the plunderer and freebooter with ISuropeans in general and DBritishers in particular. Mur. Plowden himself, was soon afterwards killed by a predatory band in the in- terior. To keep up a friendly appear- ance, Theodorus slaughtered 1,500 of his subjects as reprisal. Mr. Plowden was succeeded by Captain Cameron. He was received with outward kind- ness, but every official obstacle was thrown in his way, and he himself was captured hy a Tigre chief. Released toria soliciting English aid to realize his old dream of restoring the Ethiop- ian Empire. To this proposition Earl Russell returned a refusal. Returning with his refusal, Captain Cameron was maltreated and all the English mis- sionaries in the country were impris- oned. The successive diplomatic at- tempts to negotiate these gentlemen out of confinement are familiar to the public. They failed, and last year Gen. Robert Napier set out from India with an expeditionary force of Britons and Sepoy allies, comprising in all an esti- mate of 30,000 men. The steps taken, slowly but surely, by this force, the tardy willingness with which the econ- stituents of the home Government ae- | quiesced in the extra imposition of tax- es necessary to the expenses of the campaign, all the incidents prelimina- ry to the one decisive battle have be- come familiar to our readers.

M.,” says a correspondent of the Ciicago Tribune, “a threatening cloud passed to the westward, emitting flash- es of lightning, and from thi: 2 funnel- shaped cone trailed its apex on the earth for some distance, and shen drow up again into the bosom of the eloud. The greater part of the inhabitzuts of Shanghai were assembled in the Church of the New Advent, where Sabbath school exercises were im progress. Suddenly the atmosphere darkened, and a flood of lightning apparently filled the church. The congregation staggered to their feet and rushed for the doors, which were bolted by seme persons just within. At this instant the windows were wrenched out, the entire structure slid several feet from itz foundation, and the roof was erushed in bodily upon the strugling masses beneath. Our informant—a lady who was in the body or the church—states that immediately after the final erash she found Lerself upon tke ground, held in « stooping position by ths roof through which a: openinghad been torr some few feet distant. Being but slightly bruised, she succeeded in ex- tricating herself, but was immediately caught by the wind and thrown for- ward, mecciving several deep cuts upon the face. All this occupied less time in transpiring that in relating, Then the fury of the wind subsided, and before the victims were yet recov- ered from the ruins the sun was again shining. The entire northern portion of the village was destroyed. A {ww dwellings in the southern portion had entirely eseaped. Some sixteen houses in all, beside the schoolhouse and the only two churches which the villa_e contained, were demolished. The num- ber wounded is between thirty-five and fourty, many fatally. Four have al- ready died. The track of the storm was about three-fourth of a mile in width, and it passed some three miles northeast of the place, destroying three farmhouses on the course before it rose again into the air. A deluge of yrain and hail accompanied the wind. Several hailstones measuring ten- inches in circumference were picked up after the tornado had passed.” Hox. Henry D.
