Probably his am- bassador brought back so interesting an account of this army of white strangers who were passing through his country that his Majesty made up his mind to go in person to see him. ter was sent to the Commander-in-Chief, naming a day upon which the. King would arrive near Ad- Abaga, a station two marches from Attegrat, and The King suggested that he himself would encamp the previous night at a Place called Harzein, twelve miles from Ad-Abaga, and that both should then’ advance and hold their meeting upon a plain about half way between the two places, called Mai Debar. fore the appointed time the British Commander- in-Chief set out with a column consisting of mx hundred infantry, three hundred cavalry, a small party of engineers and four twelve-pounder picces of artillery, The marches were long and in some Places exceedingly diMicult, the hcrses having to be taken from the guns and the latter pulled up or led down Steep declivities by the whole force of the infantry. At last, after two hard marches, we reached Ad- Abaga, aud messengers were at once despatched to ascertain whether the King of Tigré had arrived at Harzein. He was not there, nor, as far as could be iscovered, anywhere within miles of it; but.at the same time we found that he really had left Adowa, ‘Ais capital, and was marching towaré us. Day after day we waited at Ad-Abaga. There was no loss of ‘time in all this delaying, because had we not done so ‘We must have waited at Antalo for stores to be accu- mulated there, and it was better to be consuming our provisions there than six days further from our base, as the mules were thus abie to go back all the sooner for fresh supplies. Still it was galling to wait there #0 long at the pleasure of a savage potentate; but we could hardly help ourselves, It would not pay for us to quarrel with the King of Tigré, Our line of com- munication is so enormously long that it would be ‘Mext to impossible to guard the immense convoys of In the rough places a hundred or two men rushing suddenly down would do im- Mense damage before the baggage guard could be collected to repel them. And even putting aside the injury the King of Tigré and his people might do to ‘us by active opposition, he might completely para- lyze us by passive resistance. If he did but order the people to drive away their flocks and herds from our Mme of march and to burn the grass, we should come to a stand still ina week. It is a moral impossibility ‘that the baggage animals could carry their own food alone from the sea coast to Magdala, much less pro- —Visions for the army. It was, then, necessary to rema‘n good friends with Tigré, and to wait a few days until he should arrive at the place of meeting. Our patience was at last re- warded, foron the 24th a messenger came in with ngs that the King had actually arrived at This news turned out to be correct, and ‘iven that the whole force, with the ex- undred infantry to should esi at seven o’clock on 25th.” The tents and a di upon our way to Antalo, baggage animals. the tidi Harzein. weption of a ABYSSINIA.

Sr. JaGO DE CuBA, May 3, 1868, The presence of the Captain General here continues to keep the natives in a state of festivity and excite- ment. His Excellency has passed the time in visit- ing the hospitals, alms house, barracks, schools and other public institutions, where everything was pre- pared for his reception, and the numerous defects which abound in those establishments carefully con- cealed. On Thursday evening last a grand ball was given at the theatre. It was a brilliant affair, but overcrowded. The General was most agreeable with every one, conversing with all the ladies in turn. After the ball his Excellency visited a negro ball, where he remained till three o’clock in the morning. Learning that the refreshment stalls, which stand in the street, required a paid license, he very generously invited the venders to the Governor’s house, promis- ae to return the money invested in tie said mses, ‘Lhe General visited the village of Cobre yesterday morning, where he was received entiusiastically, He returned late in the afternoon of the same Gay, when a heavy shower of rain, wuich lasted a couple of hours, terminated the day’s festiviues, The grand display of fireworks which had been announced to take on the Marina was, of course, suspended. ‘To-night a grand concert be given at the private house of Mr. José Bueno, one of the wealthies. mer- chants here. The town has been wretchedly lighted since the General’s visit. In the principal streets, Where the triumphal arches are erected, a total dark- ness reigns. It is said.that the General will leave us for Manza- nilio to-morrow or Tuesday. , . Arbitrary Manners of Spanish, Officiale—Ar- rest of a Lady~Indignation of the Cubans.

It is @ sad commentary on the taste of their pa- trons to find music publishers advertistng only songs which have emanated from the concert saloon, ‘and which are supposed to be comic, in the lowest and most degraded acceptation of the word. The publishers forget or ignore entirely works of real art ‘which appeal to taste and cultivation and which some of them reluctantly consent to publish. Now ‘there is no reason why those degraded emanations from the London music halls should be thus thrust upon the public, The musical people of New York do not wish them and any publisher who will offer them tohis customers insults them and lowers his business. Dachauer & Vianova publish a very fine song by Giorza, entitled “Ripeti che m’ Ami.” It tsa spirit- ed, well varied melody and’ the accompaniment is very characteristic and pleasing. Ditson & Co, publish a pretty vocal duet, “Ob that we two were Maying,” for soprano’ and tenor, by C. W. Clifton. The treatment of the subject is rather gloomy and unnecessarily complicated, and it smacks of plagiarism im more places than one, Still it isa one im the hands of good artists must be suc- ce le William A, Pond & Co, publish the following:— “Ecole de Mecanisme,” book first; Duvernoy. excellent study for develo] the fingers on the Plano.

Hartford, Henry Wilson, The general structure tuis work Is good, but not original by any means, In the transitions of keys, however, Mr. Wiison is very unortunaie, He introduces in one or two places cadenzas, which might answer very weil for a piano fantasia, but not for a church piece. On page 14 he makes a pause fn the fourth measure on tue wrong note, Aguln, on page 16, second bar, there isa very clumsy modulation, which any musician would in- stautiy reject.

We doubt if Mr. Wambold, who sings this ballad at the San Francisco Minstrels, has a better ane in his répertoire, “The old sweet story,’? De Meyer.

The best part of it is the variation ‘Tsing, la! la !’—Orestes’ well known song. This anne pices of nonsense is very cleverly worked up by Mr. Pease. The cadenzas preceding the “Jugement de Paris” and “Mari Sage” are the best of their kind which could be introduced, The work 1s a chef dwuvre of musical engraving. Hall & Son publish the follow ing:— 4 “Allie, the biue eyed bionde,” H. P., Danks, A beautiful ballad, and one superior to the general charaeter of songs heard in the minstrel halls. This ballad is suag at present in Hooley’s Opera Honse, and will be shortly introduced by Kelly & Leon's miustrels, “Twas under a gaslight,” F. Howard, No better nor worse than 4 thousand comic songs which may be heard at the present day. ~ MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES. Wenzel Kopta, violinist, hada large house at his concert at Steimway Hall last night and a generally pleas.ng programme. The fact of the leading vocal society of New York, the Liederkranz, making their appearance in full force, was a suficient inducement to attract people even at the present time when concerts are below par. The Liederkranz sang “Hope” and the “ Kiss,” two of their admi- rable pieces, with an ensemble, epirit and expression rarely heard in chorus singing in this city. Fred. Steins, the unrivalled basso of the society, sang two songs by Esser & Holzel, and Mr. Kopta played & solo by Ernst, one by Paganini and the andante from Mendelssohn’s concerto. Miss Minnie Hauck made @ bad selection in Diabellis Phiomela variation, which is mere nonsense in the concert hall. She should guard also against using cadenzas and rou- lades where they are not wanted, and remember that her beautiful, fresh young voice needs, as Miss Tabitha Stork would say, “nothing of the sort.” Miss Alida Topp did not play with her accustomed fire and brilliancy last night, neither in Ratf’s “Polka de la Reine,” which is, however, at most all “fuss and fury,” nor in Liszt's ‘L’Africaine’’ fantasia. She did not give any indication of the clean, crisp } a The Coburn-McCoele Match. The time is rapidly approaching when this greag match will take place, should neither aceident, inters ference nor prevention by other causes intervene. Tho excitement naturally increases, consequently, ant the high estimation the princtpais are held in—eacis by partisans of their respective latitudes—attaches upusual interest to the great encounter. There have been giyen in the HERALD succinct desoriptions of the mode ip which the seconds of Coburn carried out their programme of training; the curiosity, serutiny and continued queries that were borne by him at the unpretentious quarters where he was located at Harlem; of his from the city amid the congratuiation of Pans om pec ay and his arrival my ¢ incinnati, where, under the statutes of Ohio, he has been arrested and held to bat! not to in that State. Bat little information has reach East- ern sporting world until now regarding the condl- tion, the hopes and fancies of McCoole, the fistic ladiator of the West, Recent intelligence from St. Louis supplies this deficiency, the wing details pelng given by Mike Trainor, who superintends his meals and indoor regen, from which there can be drawn a comparison between the labors.and care of each principal requisite to dt them for an encounter in the twenty-iour foot ring— McCoole is called from his bed, a hard mattress, at four o'clock A.

McUoole has been reticent and rightly so in revard to the fight; but in answer to a prophecy that Coburn will eaally ook his mutton” on the eventful day, he says “he is not in the same fix now as when he first fought Coburn, nor is he going to fight under. the same auspices,” and if Coburn whips him again he coolly adds, ‘may I be there to see it.” McCoule is in excellent trim, and although he may pull dowm the scales at 200 pounds on the 27th, there will be no, superfiuous flesh about him. A benefit-was tendered him on Saturday at DeBar’s theatre, when he set-to: with Bill Ryail. He will not visit Cincinnati for rea- sons which to say the least are sound.

It will be remembered that tha original time appointed for the fight was the let of yt but onan sn rather enn cireumstances that caused one of Sheppard's backers'to be unable to witness it, the time was extended to May 26, being the day previous to the Coburn-McCoole fight, It ig now alleged that Sheppard's backers, as the time. appointed approached, refused to proceed fur- ther in the matter, although Aaron was anxious that the fight should take place, The latter had train rigid); \d_ carefully, and bis friends had large amounts invested on him, The money staked has been returned to each man.
