The telegram from Antalo, which we have characterized as doubt- ful, telis us that the First brigade intended to repose but a short time, and then to resume its forward march. The reporter does not even hint at an intention to occupy Sokota; and we are, therefore, led to assume that Sir Robert did not congider it needful to move so far out of the direct road, but had determined to press onwards and follow the nearest practicable track towards his goal. that were so the column would march straight upon Lake Ashangi, and the obstacles in its path would be inconsiderable until it reached’ the mountains of Lasta. We are told that fifteen short marches would bring it to Magdala; Pos if this somewhat sanguine estimate turned out to be cor- rect, our troops would be brought within hail of the prisoners in the first days of March. But we must ob- serve that the country which lay before the invading ‘ce had to be explored and, moreover, it is most pro- wise that the first brigade would be directed to halt at some pains short of the prison fortress, in order to ive the second time to effect a junction. Perhaps @ halt might be made most profitably near Lake Haik, or in the province of Yeju, beyond the Lasta dettiés, But we are outrunning the facts, and enter- pees far into the region of speculation. it ig enough now that the foremost troops have passed Antalo, ana that the whole active force must by this time be far on its bit towards the stronghold of Theodore.

The United States vs, One Thousand Two Hundred and Nine Casks of Sherry.—On the opening of the court yesterday morning Judge Blatchford pro- eeeded to charge the jury, prefacing his re- marks by referring to the commendable and un- wearled attention which the jury had manifested during the perm of the trial, which for twenty-two days of actual trial had occupied the consideration of the jury. The zealand ability of the distinguished counsel on both sides were commensurate with tho portance and magnitude of the interests involved the value of the wine in question amounting to $112,000, The question of undervaluation was one which the jury would decide from the evidence sub- mitted to them on that point.
