THE NEWMARKET HEATH FRACAS.—It Will be la the recollection of the public that on the Cambridge shire day a disturbance took place on the heath at New market. Two horses had come in collision with a third, which the Prince of Wales's servant was indiscreetly riding across the course just as a race was being run, and cue of them was thrown to the groun d an d appeared to be injured, when Mr. Templar (a gentleman residing at Berms, but who was then stay*: with a friend, Mr. Beemon, at a village near Newmarket) interfered in getting it up, and shortly afterward. handed it over to a groom who claimed it as belonging to his stable. Parry and Cannon, and a numberof other jockey., who were mounted, then came on the scene and made en attack upon Mr. Templar and Mr. Benyon and eventually a cry of " Welchers " was raised, and both were pursued by an ex cited crowd, and were repeatedly knocked down and other wise maltreated (Mr. Templar especially) while making their way to the enclosure, where finally they obtained shelter from the violence of their pursuers. Parry and Cannon at the Newmarket petty sessi o n s on th e 29th appeared to answer the charge of tumult with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and Mr. Templar w.s then examined and gave a detailed account of the transaction, the sub. stance of which was published at the time, and the case was adjourned till yesterday, upon the understanding that the defendants should be committed for trial, with the view of having the matter fully investigated at the quarter sea- Mons at Cambridge. Yesterday, however, Mr. Salmon. of Bury, the attorney for the prosecution, applied fora fur thee adjournment, on the ground that since the last exami nation Mr. Templar's condition has become worse, and he is now confined to the house by order of his medical attendant, sericites symptoms having manifested them selves with reference to the injuries on the head, arising from blows be received from the butt ends of riding whips, and the injury to the groin having tamed out more serious than was at Rest anticipated. The application was assented to by Mr. Kitchener, of Newmarket, and Mr. Leach, of Derby, on behalf of the defendants, and the ease was ad ionnied till Tuesday, Dec. 10, the defendants being libe rated on bail in the meantime. RIOT IN A LL S AINTS CHURCH, LAMBETH.-011 Sunday morning the above church was the scene of a greet uproar. Immediately the procession of clergy and cho risters entered the chiral, accompanied by Dr. Lee and Mr. Machoneehie, a large number of those present hissed and hooted them, and during the lemons for the d ay the same unseemly noise, accompanied with groans, took place; but when the man appeared with a long taper to light the candies of the altar, the uproar became general, and there were cries of "No Popery in our English churches." Mr. Machocochie commenced his sermon in the midst of a storm of hisses, and evidently with great nervousness, Plipg only six minutes in the delivery. When the Euchanatic se r vice commemeed the riot beceme general, and three cheers were proposed and responded to by a portion of the audience. A was then made to the altar, and one of the crossesb r ok en, and kicked shunt the aisle. The beautiful font within the communion rails was thrown down and broken, the water running down the Sops. A general fight then ensued with some who desired protect the church from injury. Soon after the people retired, shouting " D own with ritualism:" " Shame, shame l" " Cod eaters !" " Traitors !" fac.

THE CONFERENCE. PARIS, Nov. 25, Evwnro: La France of this evening says that Russia, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Holland, Den mark, Sweden, Switzerland, Bavaria, Wurtemburg, and Baden have unreservedly consented to the Conference. The adhesion of Prussia is considered certain, and that of England probable. The Putrie publishes a private telegram confirm • ing the adhesion of the Roman See to the Con ference. The Patric adds:—" Cardinal Antouelli has declared verbally, and has also instructed the Papal Nuncio at Paris to the effect, that the Roman court agrees to the Conference without any preli minary conditions. It is stated that the adhesion of Italy has not yet been officially announced. The adhesions of Portugal and Sweden and Norway re cently arrived in Paris. The question where the Conference should be held is not yet decided." The Temps, speaking of the adhesion of the Pope to the Conference, says that the representative of his Holiness will limit his demands to a guarantee of the status pu), making at the same time the fol lowing declaration :—" The Holy Father must absolutely maintain his non possums:. as regards the other demands of Italy. His Holiness is bound by his oath, but he considers it by no means impos sible that his successor should enter into negotia tions with the Italian Kingdom." FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 25, Evurnm.

Ilia loss is deeply regretted, not only by his Wesleyan brethren, but also by great numbers of members of other denominations in the principality. TUB ST. ALBAN'S RITUAL CARE.—Yesterday the rule in the case of Martin r. The Rev. A. H. Meekonochie, which was made absolute on Friday, was drawn up by Mr. Brooks, the proctor for the defendant, to be served on Sir Robert Phillunore, the Dean of Arches, and Sir Travers Twigs and Dr. Robertson, whom be had appointed to hear the case, on the ground that be bad been conned for the defendant. No cause was shown to the rule for the pro- hibition in the Court of Queen's Bench, and the case will be heard before Sir Robert Phillunore sitting alone. THE MURDZI IN INKLAND.—The Athlone corre spondent of Saunders' News, writes on Saturday :—" In formation has just come here of a barbarous and cold blooded murder committed last night at a place called Toome, near Ballymahon, in the county Longford. The victim was a respectable protestant farmer named Andrew Waters, holding over a hundred acres of land under the Hon. King Harman, of Newcastle. He had lately sold off his stock with the intention of joining some relatives in Australia, and was • most inoffensive man, greatly esteemed in the neighbourhood, and on the moat friendly terms with hie Roman catholic neighbours. Mr. Waters had been in the town of Ballymahon up to nil o'clock, attending the market. Shortly after that boar he was last seen alive on his way home, and this morning his body was discovered about • mile from his house on the public road, with two wounds—one in the back, the other in the chest—from • knife or dagger. Death must have I been instantaneous, as the heart and lungs were penetrated Ib y the thrust. Up to this hour (nine o'clock) no clue has been obtained to the assassin. It is the opinion that the first wound was made by a person walking after him, and that Mr. Waters having suddenly turned round to see his murderer, the second was then inflicted in the chest. There is great excitement here, as well as in Ballymahon, at this occurrence. There are parties who attribute it to Fondants:lz, as Mr. Waters was heard on that evening very freely to give his opinion on the conviction of the Man chester rioters. Ribboniam has always been rife in the county Longford, but for a length of time so heartless murder has not been committed in this part of the country. Mr. Waters leaves a family to deplore his loss." LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 26, 1867. PIMg. --.-__ MONDAY POPULAR CONCERTS. Mr. Arthur Chappell, the director of these enter tainments, is indefatigable in providing features of special interest and novelty for his programmes. On Monday last, as recorded at the time, the six numbers of the eighth book of Mendelssohn's " Lieder ohne warn)" (selected from his posthumous works, and just published) were performed for the first time, and so much delighted the audience that Madame Goddard is announced to repeat them at the concert of Monday next. The programme of last night's concert (also containing a novelty) was as follows: PAri'l. Quartet, In D minor, MM. Straus, L Ries, Henry Blagrove, and Platt! Schubert. Canaunet, " My mother bids me bind my hair," Madame SilliCO Sonata, in A major, for Violin, with Piano- forte Accompaniment, Herr Straus Aria.

No. t, Pianoforte, Violin, end VlOmcello, MM. Halle, Strang, and Platt' Drama. PRINCESS'S. Mr. Dion Boncicault's Co(ken Bawer-the most successful drama of modern times, if not the most suc cessful drama ever written—which was first produced at the Adeiphi about six years ago, and performed at that theatre until the tongues of some of the chief actors bemuse paralysed from frequent repetition of the test, was revived at the Princess's last night with most complete and effec tive scenery by Mr. F. Lloyds. This drama will always hold an important position in the history of the London stage. It re-introduced Mr. and Mrs. Boteciosult to • London public on their return from America, and its pro- duction was the commencement of a new system of trading between managers and authors which has proved highly beneficial to both parties. Under this system the author is promoted from the rank of an ill-paid literary drudge to that of a partner, sharing in the profits of theatrical enterprise which cannot be sustained without him, his share being entirely dependent upon the success of his work. No more equitable 'system could well be devised, and as it increases the profits of dramatic authorship more than a hundred-fold, it is not surprising that some of the most active stage writers of the day have followed Mr. Bouckaulth example. If such imitators would only acknowledge who it was that first taught them to know the market value of their labour, and who it is that defends the rights of literary stage property by.costly law suits in various parts of the world, there would be no reason for begrudging them their in creased profits. It is almost impossible, in witnessing the revival of a popular play like the Colleen Bawn, to avoid feeling that the original cast'of characters must necessarily be the best, though no possible fault can be found with the ladies and gentlemen who have been engaged to support Mr. and Mrs. Boucicault at the Princess's. Miss Else orthy is an impressive Mrs. Cregan, and the part of Danny Mann is exactly suited to Mr. Dominick Mnrray's style of acting. The rest of the characters are carefully played, and Mr. and Mrs. Boucioault, of amuse, appear in their original parts of Myles na Coppeleen and the Colleen Bawn. Mr. Boucicault has represented several Irishmen since he first appeared as the comio-pathetic Myles, and in none has he done more to show that he is the moat natural actor of Irishmen who ever trod the stage. Mrs. Boucicault, who has only just recovered from a severe illness, is as pleasing and feeling as ever as the simple Irish girl. The play is put upon the stage with all that completeness which always distinguishes the management of Mr. Boucicault, and the warm reception given to it by • crowded house would seem to promise another length ened " run." HAYMARKET. The popular comedy of Brother Sam, adapted by Mr.!John Oxenford from one of the many works of a very prolific living German dramatist named Gorner, was revived at this house last night, with Mr. Sotbern in the chief character. This comedy was originallybrodnoed at the Haymarket in the summer of 1865, and it is note worthy as being the only really successful attempt to pro vide Mr. Sothern with one of those "eccentric" parts on which his reputation as an actor is mainly (founded. The original cast, repeated last night, includes Mr. Buck stone and Mr. Compton, and the heroine, originally repre sented by Miss Nelly Moore, is now played by Miss Agnes Robertson. The play was very well received by a full house. Elittberditg intelltgente. OXFORD, Nov. 25.

HOLBORN AMPHITHEATRE. The American Circus Company, which was so great an attraction in Paris during the late International Exhibition, has arrived in London, and last night gave its first performance at Mr. McCollum's elegant theatre in Holborn. This company now contains most of the best living riders, and is more complete, perhaps, than any thing in Europe, except Herr Renz's establishment in Berlin. Riders like Robinson are not to be surpassed, either for grace or daring, and the general company is full of male and female acrobats and equestrians who are in the front rank of their profession. Each act is short and sharp, with clowning that is amusing without being ob trude., and the only weak point is the band, which is not strong enough for such a building or such an entertain meet. The theatre was well attended. Mr. Spurgeon has, it is stated, received another 1,0001. for his orphanage from an anonymous Mend. - - Vsauvws ne Eaurnote.—This lava eruption increases daily in force and beauty, and promises a dura tion of some weeks, if not months. It has sent forth an immense quantity of lava, converting the surrounding crater into a lake of fire. The correspondent of the Times, at Naples, describing a visit to the mountain, says:— "To the edge of the crater it was impossible to approach, the heat was scorching ; and what would have been the consequences had the lava boiled over and come down upon us? It was difficult, therefore, to form any fair estimate of its size, but one might have supposed that it was not more than 70ft. in diameter. It was not a moment, however, for figures when nature was exhibiting her power in one of its grandest forms. There was a roar and a shock, and then shot forth flames and stones fully 1,000 feet in height, at intervals of from one to five seconds, according to the watch of one of the party ; these tremendous oonvnlaMns were repeated, and then came the descending shoe er, com posed of atones of various sizes ' come certainly half a ton in weight, judging by the bulk. We could mark their course by the eye es long as they retained their red heat, but on approaching the earth they blackened, and then the ear I alone could tell what was spotting and pitting the earth I around. By the same person who had already acted as calculator it was declared that the descent occupied five seconds—much in excess, I should imagine, of the actual time. Precision, of course, was impossible in the excite ment of such a scene, and if we say that 1,000 feet was the height attained we shall not be wide of the mark. It was a nervous proximity to danger on which to stand, so the whole party soon decamped, and got back to Naples shortly after midnight, awe-struck by a scene which never can be forgotten. Yet, without the fatigues of an ascent, anyone can from the city enjoy a spectacle of marvellous beauty, only diminished in proportions as compared with that which I have just described. There is no sound, but there are those everlasting flames, across the centre of which is sometimes drawn a swathe of dark clouds, giving to their summits the nppeatance of greater height and the sky is glaring with a deep-red colour ; and mighty stones, reduced by distance, are falling like myriads of stars on the summit of the mountain, the foot of which is wrapped in darkness. What a gorgeous scene, and how much more gorgeous it promises to be !" • Obtained number of marks quakitylog for Scholarship. IMPROVEMENTS IN MINIMUM THERMOMETERS.- At • meeting of the lffetereological Society on Wed nesday last, Mr . James Glaisher, F . R.S. , in the chair, Mr. 41cland, of the firm of Horne andThornthwaite, read a paper on the above subject. The author pointed out the well known fact that in making an alcohol ther mometer if we select a tube of uniform bore, that in giving it certain fixed points corresponding to an equal number of degrees between each point, the spaces so obtained are each diminishing in length se we descend, hence the ordinary mode of subdividing equally between the acontained points will give erroneous results and afford an explanation of the inaccuracies of the usual thermometer employed for low temperatures. Mr. Ulnae; having Maki Mr. Ackland's attention to this defeat, and offered certain suggestions for its removal, the latter gentleman devised an entirely new form of dividing engine, which, used together with a mechanical computer, enables the manufacturer at once to "interpolate" between the given points, so that each division shall be in its true pontoon, as required by the varying expansion of the alcohol employed. The chairman in commenting on this invention mentioned the fact that the mathematical principles involved had been investigated by him and found accurate, and that he hoped we should have no more complaints of thermometers hereafter differing from each other two or three degrees at the zero point. DANOEHOUS STSTE OF CITY CHURCHES.-MT. W. H. Kemm, who has been engaged in taking down the oak carvings, timbers, Ice., of St. Bent"' Church, Grace church-nesse, in course of removal under the Bishop of London's Union of Benefices Act, states that he has bean forcibly struck with the rottenness of the joists and rafters in the floor of the gallery, which was only held up by lath and plaster, the rafters falling to duet on being touched. He says it is fortunate that the congregations had not been large of late years, for he feels convinced that if any extraordinary weight ' had been placed on the I galleries mane deplorable calamity most have occurred. The tower was even worse. Some of the lead that covered I the dome had fallen in many places several inches, and on I its removal the wood on which it rested crumbled away. j The men had to exercise the greatest care in its removal to preventita giving way altogether. How it remained up **long without accident seems almost miraculous. Mr. Klemm adds that in many of the City churches much lead j his been used, and that it has never been repaired since their erection. TH7I . IS;;IBUSZA AND THE NEW TRAFFIC ACT.- At Guildhall yesterday, Alderman Lusk, M.P., said that sine. the new Traffic Act bad come into operatics be bad had a great many omniboa drivers before him for not drawing up as dose as might be to the near side of the road to take up and set down paasengers, and in every in stance they had pleaded ignorance of the law. He had therefore fined them very lightly, although he strongly impeded they were not so ignorant as they pretended to bee. He had since noticed particularly the operation of that portion of the act, and he was struck with the excel lance of its working. There was now no stopping a line of traffic in the middle of the road for the sake of one omnibus man maintaining the lead and keeping all the other vehicles under his control behind him, for he was by the new act obliged to pull into the near side of the road and let the ordinary traffic go past him. The result was that the roads were now free from blockage, and the trails went smoothly and rapidly on. He wu therefore determined, in all future cases that came before him, to enforce the provisions of the new act with a rigour that would enforce obedience. - . A NOTORIOUS SW INDLERCONVICTSD. —The Carlisle Journal recognises in John Hall. who pleaded guilty to a charge of forgery and false pretences at the Middlesex semitone last Monday, the man who, in oonjunction with the Irish " poet " Young, was nominated by Lord Derby for a grant of 50/. from the Royal Bounty Fend. The applications made a good deal of noise at the time, and after the cheque had actually been signed it was discovered that Hall, who had represented himself as a literary man in distress, was not "a deserving person." Hall raided in Carlisle three or four years, end tried various modes of swindling. One of these was to write to gentlemen whose death had just been announced, making fictitious claims upon them, either for goods supplied or for money owing, in hopes of obtaining money from executors. A few days after the death of the late Sir Gilbert East was announced in the Timm Hall sent in a claim for 571. 18.., under the name of Henderson, for some alleged transaction between them. A similar fictitious claim was made upon the late Lady Alvanley. Another mode of operation was to write under another name directing attention to the condition of " poor Hall," as a person to whom the recipient of the letter should send money, in order to make him some reparation for an injustice or injury done to him in years gone by. He left Carlisle not long after the attempted fraud upon Lord Derby was discovered and exposed, and thence be appears to have come to London, where, by forging the names of Lord Vivian, Lord Riche, and others, he attempted to obtain goods under false pretences. Having pleaded guilty on Monday, sentence was de ferred until inquiries could be made concerning his pre. view history. DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA.—Yesterday infor mation was forwarded to Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, as to the death of Mr. James Wells, aged 67, of Olney-street, Walworth.road, engineer, who expired in St. Thomas's Hospital ou Sunday evening, having been received on the previous day by Mr. Dobson, the Louse surgeon, suffering from hydrophobia. It will he probably recollected, from notices which appeared in this journal, that on the morning of the 13th August last a largo re triever dog, supposed at that time to he in a rabid condi tion, was discovered rushing about in an excited state between Myatt's.fields, near the Camberwell New-rood, and thence to the Walworth-road station of the London, Chatham, and Dover line ; that from this spot it proceeded up the line as far as Blackfriars station, and, after return ing to Camberwell, ran through Peckham to the Half-way Haim in the Old Kent-road, near which spot the animal was killed by • butcher. On the route amend persons were bitten, and amongst them the deceased, James Wells. At that time he became a patient at St. Thomas's Hospital, where he continued to attend as an out-patient until be was eventually confined to his house, erysipelas having set in, and ultimately he was seized with hydrophobia, and in consequence was admitted on Saturday as an in-patient. Actions against the owner of the animal are pending from the several parties injured. EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAOE.—An extraordinary Crime has just been committed at St. lernier, near Gre noble (Istre). Two men armed with hatchets and iron bare three nights back broke into the residence of the cure, N. Jacquemet, with whom lives his mother, aged 70. The men first attacked the lady, and after striking her several heavy blows on the heed left her for dead. The cure, who had been aroused by the noise, then came forward, when the assailants rushed upon biro, and a violent struggle earned during which M. Jacquemet sou struck down, having re ceived two blows, one on the head and one in the side. The men then made off. No robbery was committed, and the motive for this outrage remains a mystery. The wounds of the cure are not serious, but time. Jacquerset is not likely to recover. " NON-F0a81110.78" BELAYING Ur.—Tho confe rence of prelates held at Buda hes just given a striking ex ample of the conciliatory spirit .1 the Hungarian clergy. They have frankly accepted tho action of the lay authority, within the limits of the law, in the administration of eccle siastical affairs. Concerning the relations of the school with the church, the bishops have declared themselves disposed to lend their aid to the reforms required by the spirit of the age. As to civil marriage, the conference has decided that, although such onions could not be approved of by the church, there would be an inadvisability to route an agitation against the Chamber of Deputies for the rea son that " any pressure would provoke a movement in so opposite sense.

I At a crowded meeting of the Royal Geographi. Yesterday afternoon a large and very influential cal society, last evening, Sir RoDunk Mutt=lWO, the meeting was held in the Guildhall, Southampton, for the president, read the following letter repeating the fate of purpose of taking measures for the relief of the large num- Dr. Livingstone : her of widows and orphans who have been left in that town totally destitute of the means of subsistence, the result of the late disasters in the West Indies, bat more especially in connection with the loas of the Rhone and \Vye. The Mayor (Mr. J. R. Stabbing) presided ; and among those present were Captain Mangles, chairman of ' the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company ; the Right Hon. Rumen Gurney, Q.C., deputy-chairman of the com pany, and one of the members for the borough ; Major- General Wilbraham, and Admiral Hands. The Merge, in opening the meeting, read the, following communisation, ',which he had received from Colonel Biddulpb, dated Windsor Castle, Nov. 24th : "It being undentood that a general subscription is about to be raised for the benefit of the widows and orphans,and others resident in the United Kingdom, who were de pendent on those who unhappily lost their lives in the late disastrous hurricane in the West lodise, I am mom asanded by the Queen to acquaint you, as Mayor of South ampton, in which town the misfortune will be more gene rally felt than elsewhere, that her Majesty, deeply commis aerating these who have been thus deprived of their relatives and of their means of support, desires to sub. saibe 20W. to the fund." •" Zanzibar, Sept. 28, 1867. " My dear Sir Roderick,—You know that a rumour has been current on the coast to the effect that a white man had been seen near UAL Smelt a story came to us at a time when it was quite impossible that Livingstone could be the man. Now, however, another narrative has reached us, which, if we believe, it is I think dillicult to avoid the conclusion that our distinguished traveller may even yet snowed, mid disprove the story given us of his death by the Johanna men. The Maros then proceeded to say that it bad been felt that, in consequence of the calamity being so wide-spread, only • national subscription could meet it ; and under those circumstances it had been suggested that relief should be extended to every British subject in the United Kingdom who was a sufferer through the disasters. The Right Hon. RUKSILL GUMMY, M.P., moved • reso lution in conformity with these views, which was unanL measly adopted by the meeting, and a subscription list wu thereupon opened, and realised upwards of 1,000 f., among the subscribers being Mr. G. Mof fatt, M.P., 100 guineas ; Right Hon. Russell Gurney, 10 guineas; engineers of the Peninsular ant Oriental Com pany (first instalment), one hundred guineas. Captain Mangles said he could not now announce a subscription on behalf of the Royal Mail Company, but there would be a meeting of the board of directors on Wednesday, when he should drive to set a good example to his colleagues, and he had no doubt that the sup.: forwarded to the mayor would be quite satisfactory to those who had already sub scribed so liberally. Other resolutions were adopted, and the meeting concluded with three cheers for the Queen. Yesterday, at tho Mansion-house, a committee, consisting of the Bight Hon. the Lord Mayes, as tree sorer; Baron Lionel Rothschild, M.P., the Right Hon. Russell Gurney, M.P., Mr. James Allan, director of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, Captain Engledue, Mr. B. H. Hartley, and Mr. George Moffatt, M.P., was formed for the purpose of receiving subscriptions for the relief of the distress occasioned by the hurricane in the West Indies, especially at St. Thomas and Tortola, and of the families of the officers and seamen of the Royal Mail Company's service who have perished, and of other sufferers by the calamity. By the post of yesterday mim ing the Lord Mayor received a letter from Mr. Stabbing, the mayor of Southampton, with a view of enlisting his lordship's sympathies with the prevailing distress there among she widows and orphans and other dependent rela tives of the sufferers by the wrecks of the numerous we ak during the hurricane, and with the injured and maimed survivors resident in any part of the United Kingdom. The Lord Mayor and the committee above named are pre pared to receive subscriptions at the Manslon•house daily between 10 and 2 o'clock. "A Haien trader at Bagamoyo told me three days ago l ent he had heard &rumour th a t some w hit e man had been seen at Wombs; of this be seemed to have doubt. To-day he brought a native whom he introduced and left alone with me. I entered into conversetion, and led him on in an irregular way to give an account of his journey, with out 'ding his imagination by any leading questions, de tetmining to meet him again and fi ll in the details. When I dismissed him after my first conversation, it appeared that a ship would sail for Batas, immediately„ not to lose a chance, Mr. Churchill, the weed, to whom I gave the notes, at once sent all to Bombay, with a request that the substance m i g ht be tele graphed to the Foreign-aloe, viz., that we had now some grounds for believing that a white man resem bling Livingstone had been seen to the south of the See of UAL This native with the rat of the caravan left Ba moyo and passed along the usual trade route to Wombs and Marangs,wheretheyremained trading for some time, and again returned to the coast. When in one of the villages under Maranga, which is a region governed several chiefs more or leas dependent on one para mount, a white man arrived with a party of thirteen blacks, who spoke OushelL All h a d fi rearms , an d s i x carried double-barrelled guns. The white man was of moderate height, not stout, dressed in white, and wore a cloth wrapped round his head. He gave the chief a look ing -glass, and was offered ivory, which he declined, stating that he was not a trader. He then went northwards. Ido not know that this man can tell much more. He is a simple carrier who formed part of a caravan, but if we can find the head sun of the party it will be pos sible, no doubt, then to identify this stranger, who seems to our hopeful imagination so like our long lost friend. And then only think of the revelations be will have to make to us ! It is decided that we go to Begarnoye in two I days to make inquiry, but we mus t do so quietly. The story of a white man having been seen at Craws. to the west of the lake, is a distinct thing from the more definite narrative we now have ; but the one adds ala i firmation to the other, and shows us that, if it be Living stone on whose track we now are, be has more than half finished his work, and is about to go to the Albert Nyanza. I may mention that there is now no doubt that the white man of whom I wrote formerly, long ago, as having been seen on one of the lakes by an Arab who remained ea the oosst,was a Tark, one of the traders from Gondokoro, who have been met with in Uganda by Zanzibar merchants. The description fully satisfied me of this, and not is more probable. Thus the traders of Bent and have now met in the interior of Africa. Speke's route has been quickly followed. How far this has been for the immediate benefit of Africa others may judge, In the end Africa will be overrun with traders in all directions, and then the vast resources of this continent will be shown. "Postsoript.—Since writing the above, I have again seen my informant and placed before him my books of photo graphic portraits. In the first he did not the likeness of the man be saw in the interior, alt ough it contained a very fi ne side view of Livingstime. In the second be at once pointed to a staring likeness of Living stone, which I kept as a caricature, and aid 'That is the man.' But,' he added, ' come on to Begemoyo, and see my master and the other ma ; they have seen him also, and will tell you all they know.' Suspend your opinion for little. Mr. Churchill and Igo in two days to opinion iinoyo to make inquiry. Plasm communicate this news to Mr. Webb, Mime Livingstone, and other friends, but until my next maintain some caution. " Join! Krai." The following correspondenoe was also read : " Foreign-office, Nov. 23,1867. " Sir,—lam directed by the Secretary of State forirovelpt Affairs to transmit to you, for the information of the Royal O•ophical Society, the accompanying despatch, which has been received from her Majesty's Consul at Zanzibar reporting that information has been received calculated to induce the belief that Dr. Livingstone was living seven months before the date of Mr. Churchill's despatch.—l stu, sir, your most obedient servant, Sir R. L Murchison, K.G.B. "..I.LUES Minutia. " Zanzibar, Sept. 28,1867. "My Lord,—A native boat being on the point of leaving this for Nakano, near Aden, I hasten to transmit to your lordship the oopy of a despatch, thin day's date,that I have addressed to the Chief Secretary to the Government of Bombay, acquainting him with the intelligence, gathered within the last two days from people who have oome from the interior of Africa, with reference to a white man having been seen seven months ago, at a place called Marengo, 00 miles due east of Zanzibar. Since writing the accompanying despatch, the slave, on whose informa tion more particularly the belief of Dr. Livingstone being alive may be based, has, among a hundred photographs, recognised the portrait of Dr. Livingstone, the man he saw at Marengo. (Cheers.) This is indeed glorious new" — (hear, hear)—and Pr. Kirk and I leave this for Bagamoyo us soon as possible to gather further information from ether members of the caravan to which the slave in ques tion is attached.—l have, bo., "'H. A. MeacHiu.'" The enclosed statement, made in the Invali language, before Dr. Kirk, her Majesty's vice-consul, by a native, lately returned from the interior of Africa, in addition to the portion quoted byDr. Kirk, in the prece ding letter,gave the f•glowing particulars of his return route:—"Marunga is a level country ; there are two rivers in it —one, the Chambezi, is full of hippopotamus ; the other is smaller. In both the water flows gently to the north. The head chief of Marengo is named Kitumbna ' • there are four others, namely, Chugs, Kamm*, Chask a, and Chum. From Marengo to Wewba is seven days' march. The chief of Wemba is named Clumbenanga ; there are under him Mtuko, Inwarows, Marumni, and Komi's. From Wemba to Mambwe is two days, to Ungamwanga seven days, to Wiwa two days. Inika is claw to Who ; from kilo: to Uragu three days, to Muua three days, to Utron one day," he. This statement was made only two boors before the departure of the mail. The Etonian who brought the pre sent information else states that at Bagarnoyo there is a rumour that a white man has been seen alive in the men ' try of Korea, to the vest of the Sea of Ujiji. It will be necessary to go to Ilagaruoyo for the purpose , . of obtaining further information. JOHN KIRK. Sept. 28, 1867. In the discussion which followed Captain Sherard Osborn, Captain Malady, sad Mr. Waller concurred in the chairman's hopeful view of Dr. Livingstone 's fate, and agreed that Dr. Kirk's letter was extremely important. Mr. Crawford still refused to entertain any hope. A com munication was also read from Sir Samuel haler, who had hitherto refused to believe in the slightest chance of the great traveller's safety, but who had been led by Dr. Kirk's letter to reverse his opinion, and to agree with the president's views. Sir Samuel also suggested that it would be very desirable if the Egyptian government would send an expedition to Lake Tangauaki from Egypt, which expe dition he thought would meet Dr. Livingstone. Sir Samuel added that he should be glad to join such a glorious expo dition, as hid present inactivity was worse than an African fever. THE LATE DISTURBANcES AT SANDHURST. Yesterday, Colonel C. R. Egerton, deputy-adjutant general at tbo Horse-Guards, attended at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, and, assisted by Colonel Hal lowell, the commandant, made an investigation into the accuracy of the several reports that had been circulated relative to the disturbances at York Town and Black - water a few weeks since. Several wi.nesses were called, and their examination went to show that the various accounts had been greatly exaggerated, and that the so-called "rioting* was after all only a " spree" by a few young gentlemen, the only serious damage having been indicted accidentally. A deputation, consisting of several influential tradesmen of Smthurst, were presentat the court of inquiry, and they said they wished it to be distinctly understood they were in no fear whatever from the behaviour of the cadets, nor were the inhabitants subjected to that " terrorism " which had been laid to their charge. Great interest is felt in Sandhurst as to the result of this inquiry, as it is acknow ledged on every hand that the occurreuces now being in quired into were only the result of a " spree " on the part of fourteen or fifteen of the cadets, in which none of the others took the least part. One young officer, on being told on parade of the alleged disturbances, at once stepped lout of the minks and confessed the part he had played. Colonel Egerton is understood to be ounducting this in quiry for the information of the Duke of C.aubridge, who will, no doubt, should occasion arise, refer to the matter inparliament. PERVERSIoN.—The Rey. Arthur Mayo, V.C., who for the last eighteen months has been assistant curate of St. Peter's, Plymouth, has been recently received into the Roman Communion. He was at the same time re baptized by a different name. Mr. Mayo, who graduated B.A. from Magdalen Hall, at Oxford, in 180, was for. merly a midshipman in the Indian n ,vy, and received the Victoria Crow for distinguished bravery while serving on shore during the mutiny with the Indian Naval Brigade. —Church Opinion.

MANCHESTER COLLIERY BELIEF FUND. Yesterday the committee formed at the Mansion house in the mayoralty of Sir T. Gabriel, for raising a fund for the relief of the widows orphans, and aged parents of the men who perished in the oahunitons colliery accidents at the Oaks pit, near Barnaley, and at Talk, in Stafford shire, held a meeting for the appropriation of tLe money subscribed on the occasion. Sir Thomas Gabriel, the late Lord Mayor, occupied the chair as president of the com mittee. Mr. Gibbs reported to the meeting that the total amount subscribed at the Mansion-house, including in terest, was 24,9591. odd ; that, in addition, 2,8001. hail been subscribed& at Liverpool, and 1,1501. at Halifax. In addition to these, again, Z 9,5281. odd had been collected in , Yorkshire for the relief of the Oaks colliery sufferers, and about 13,500/. for those at Talk. With these facts before them the Mansion-house Committee, with the aid of the local representatives, proceeded to consider and settle a scheme of relief for the widows and families of the sufferers by the Oaks colliery calamity, which had been prepared' from authentic data, and partly upon the basis and ex perience of that of the Hartley colliery, by Mr. W. P. Pattison, an actuary. Previous to the meeting this docu ment had been most carefully scrutinized and sifted, both in the interest of the subscribers and of the sufferers, first by the general committee at the Mansion-house, and afterwards particularly again and again by Sir Thomas Gabriel and Sir Sydney N aterlow, after which ordeal it' underwent examination at the conference yesterday, and was filially adopted, subject to a possible rectification of a few of the items. The investigation lasted upwards of three bout'. The effect of the scrutiny yesterday, and at' previous meetings, was to reduce the original estimate of the actuary, with regard to the Oaks colliery, by a sum of from 7,0001. to 8,0001., which, or some part of which, will go towards a fund for the relief in future of sufferers by any similar calamity. In the case of Talk, the local subscriptions amounted to about 13,5001. , and the local oomm ittee had expended about 1,3001. The committee made a grant of 1,5001. to the authorities at Talk towards their local permanent feed, or rather with I the view to recoup them their actual expenditure and something more in the relief of the sufferers by the cala mity. Originally the Mansion-house Committee, acting upon a suggestion made to them on their formation by Lord Derby, founded on his experience in the administra tion of the Lancashire cotton famine fund, expressly stated in their public advertisements soliciting subscrip tions, that in the event of the public benevolence furnish ing funds more than sufficient to meet the require ments of that particular emergency the balance would be retained in the hands of trustees as the nucleus of any similar subscriptions that should be thought necessary at some future time to raise for the purpose of meeting a like calamity. Both Sir Thomas Gabriel and Mr. Samuel Morley dwelt yesterday upon the wisdom of that precaution, as shown by the event, without which the whole of the Mansion-house fund would have been divisible, pm rata, among the families of the sufferers by; the Oaks and Talk explosions, without reference to the absolute requirements in either case. But now, by the operation of that saving clause, the committee will have a very considerable surplus at their disposal--probably as much as 12,0001. or 14,0001. for the mitigation of distress consequent upon similar accidents, and, as if to confirm still won) the wisdom of that precaution, the Ferndale calamity occurs just at the time when a surplus arises, and remains in the hands of the trustees for disposal. SUICIDE AT A CITY BAWL—Yesterday afternoon, Mr. W. Payne, come er for the City of London, held en inquest at Messrs. Willis, Percival and Co.'s banking-house, No. 76, Lombard-street, on the body of Mr. Charles Brooks Woodcock, aged 46 years. From the evidence of Mr. Alfred Johnson, a clerk in the bank, it appeared that the deceased was second clerk. He was always considered to be somewhat excutric. About a month ago, a new junior clerk being taken, he became very excited, and asked the witness whether the firm were not going to send him away. There were no grounds, however, for any such apprehension. On Saturday last he was very ex cited in his manner, and was so restless that he left his books sad went out to walk on London-bridge. He slept that night as usual at the bank. On Sunday morning, a little after nine o'clock, he sent for a cup of tea, and immediately afterwards he was found by witness lying on the door of his bedroom with a shot through his head, and a pistol by his side near his right hand. He was quite dead. Another pistol, the cap of which had been snapped, was found in the room. Mr. Frederick Woodcock, a solicitor, residing at Gloucester, said that the deceased, who was his cousi n,gotinto pecuninry difficulties a few years ago, and he was so much affected thereby that it was at one time a question whether be should not he put into an asylum. Fie was in debt 5001. His friends assisted him, and be became more calm. His accounts were quite correct so far as the bank was con cerned. Mr. T. Franklin Lloyd, M.R.C.S., 46, Finsbury. circus, said that he wee called in on Sunday morning, and he found the deserted lying dead in a pool of blood near the bedroom window. A pistol bullet bad entered the head in front of the right ear, and had paned out three inches over the left ear. The wound was self-inflicted. f ury returned a verdict of "Suicide while of unsound NEW MAP OF ABYSEINIA.—Nresars.
