ONEI ILIARKIT AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. `,During the last few days there has been only a limited amount of business transacted in the arei,gn and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars ha; re been at steady rates, while for coffee, rice, an fruit the transactions have been only for im- In ediate requirements. An extensive business has lx en done in saltpetre, and prices have advanced i. to ls. per cent. Tallow has been dull, the d( Inland for consumption having considerably fallen of F, and few speculative dealings have taken place. P..'Y.C. on the spot is now quoted 605., and 60s. for apt ing delivery. J 1 moderate amount of business was transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prives exhibited no alteratiou. The sales were 8,00 , 0 bales. The Tyne has arrived from the Brazils with £:3,840 in specie. Money continues plentiful, but an increased dfiman d having been created by the arrangements for the bills which have to be liquidated to-day, the 4th of the month, the market isa shade firmer. There is very little difference between the terms cm/ Tent out of doors and those required at the Ba oil of England. It cannot be said, however, the i t any material alteration has taken piece in the col Idition of the market, although the downward ten ldency of the rates has received a check by the pot ;Won of the American exchange, and the possi biliity of gold being remitted to the United States, notivithstanding the opinion expressed by well info; rmed correspondents in New York, that any sup] dies that may have been sent will speedily return to this country. A.. n improvement of 1 per cent, has taken place in no .e Market for Public Securities to-day, and the ten(( ency is' still very favourable, although the tram iactions have not been numerous. Purchases, how ever, have been effected partly on account of the Court of Chancery, and Consols are 934 I for raon s3y and the 6th inst., for Dee. they are 94 to 941. The .New Threes are firmer at 911 21; the Reduced at 9'1.1 2 ; the New 21 per Cents, at 78; India Stoc :k has improved to 225; ditto New Loan is steady at 1031 ; ditto 5 per Cent, Rupee Paper is tat at 961; but Exchequer Bills remain at ss. dis. 13 usiness in the Foreign Stock Market continues very quiet, but prices are firmer. Turkish 6 per Cent ts. are 721 to 734 ; ditto New, 571 to 581. Sardinian have improved to 841 ex div. ; Spanish to 501- ; Portuguese to 461; and Peruvian 3 per Cents.. to 731. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the African Steamship Company has been held to-day, when, after a short discussion and a few roma rks upon the disposal of the Hope, the report was :adopted, and a dividend of 7s. per share at the r ate of 7 per ceit. per annum was declared. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been limited, and prices have shown rather less Armnetis in one or two instances. Great Northern have declined 155.; Midland, 55.; and South Easter n, 10s. ; Caledonian and Great Western have Unproved ss. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 10s. to 15s. The Foreign lines have remained very inactive Nvithout any material change in values. In the Colonial Market Great Western of Canada have declined 55., and Grand Trunk of Canada im proved ss. East Indian and Great Indian Penin sula realised former rates. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares had undergone no change of importance. ~. RITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

The particulars forwarded on Saturday were, as f ar as they went, correct, but it is lamentable to add that the shocking effects are much greater t han was at first supposed ; for, instead of 120 per ilous having fallen victims, the probability is that at least fifty more are dead, and that the fearful I. ° ll 'will swell to at least 170 names. During yes terday and the last two nights the search in the workings was continued, and cor p ses f oun d an d . nought to the su r f ace num b er i ng w ith th ose brought up on Saturday, about 100. One portion f the workings is now discovered to have fallen cutting off all communication, with 60 or 70 Persons who are beyond. To reach them will, it is feared, occupy a considerable time; but little or no °Z peetation is entertained that one of the party ' W ill be discovered alive. When the explosion 4) cettrred about 200 men and boys were in the pit, ' is _ r Whom only thirty have escaped. Operations are bei ng continued with the utmost vigour. The "overnment inspector is momentarily expected to arrive, and the inquest will be opened as soon as Possible, that the corpses may be buried. Even yet It Would be premature to give currency to the statements made with reference to the cause of the c atastrophe. The pit, however, was known to be s ubject to blowers of gas, and the management were c autious in consequence, On Saturday week one of the workmen was summoned before the county biagistrates in this town for taking the key of a safety-lamp into the pit, and it was deposed to by the overman that two other men were detected 'With nails in their possession, intended, doubtless, t , O be used for opening the safety-lamp s , t o o bt a i n li ghts for smelling. These things show the reck lessness of the men, and point probably to the o rigin of the explosion. The Risca Coal Company is co mposed of Mr. G. Randall Hookey and other gentlemen.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron and a Special Jury.: IRVIN V. LEVER. This was an action of compensation for services rendered and money lent in forming a company caned the Galway Line of Mail Packets to North America. The defendant pleaded never indebted. It a; peared that the parties had entered into a verbal agreement to form the above company, and the balance sheet showed a balanoe in favour of the company of assets, £317,550 (value of ship, £227,700; Mr. Lever's interest in the company, valued at £279,856, and £10,000), and the plaintiff claimed an adequate remuneration for his services in forming the company according to agreement. The case was resumed this morning, and the counsel for the plaintiff, without going before the jury, elected to be nonsuited. The plaintiff was nonsuited accordingly. PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell and a Special Jury.) DENT. Y. DENISON. The question at issue in this case was, whether or not a will, admitted to have been executed by the late Mr. Frederick William Dent, the celebrated watch and chronometer maker, of 61, Strand, was cancelled, the plaintiff, who is the mother of the testator, alleging that it was destroyed by his direction. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., having finished his address for Mr. Denison, called that gentleman into the witness box, and examined him at great length as to his acquaint mice and friendship with the late Mr. Dent. Dr. Partridge, the surgeon of Spring-gardens, who had attended Mr. Dent in his last illness, was under examina tion when we went to press. The case will not conclude to-day. POLICE INTELLIG EIV CE-( THIS DAY MARLBOROUUH-STREET. MURDEROUS AFFRAY.—Henry Lennox, clerk, a tall, powerful young man, who gave his address, 66, Mount Pleasant, Lime-street, Liverpool, was charged before Mr. Beadon with violently assaulting with tepoker a French woman, named Emma Mercier, living at 11, Queen-street, Golden-square. Mr. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prosecutrix, who seemed in a weakly slate and to have received serious injury. The prosecutrix said the prisoner came to her house, said he was a rich man, who had no money with him, but that he would give her a half-crown. She told him to leave, when he shut the door, and seizing the poker struck her on the head with it and also kicked and threw her on a sofa, breaking it in doing so. She tried to get out of the room but could not, the ptisoner having injured the lock. He tried to get out of the window, but could not, and a con stable coming in found him singing. She felt very ill, but had not been to a medical man. Mary Ann Barclay, living at the same house as the pro secutrix, proved going up to her on hearing cries of " Mur der ! " but the room door was fastened, and when she did get in she found the prisoner with a poker in his hand, and the prosecutrix was bleeding from the head. IVaterson, 144 C, said that hearing cries of " Murder " that morning he went to the house, 11, Queen-street. At the door he found a female, who said, " Oh, policeman, come upstairs, there's a man killing a woman." He pro ceeded upstairs, and there found the prosecutrix bleeding from a wound in the head lying on the sofa. The prisoner had nothing in his hand at the time. A female came up stairs and said that the prisoner had struck the prosecutrix on the head with a poker. The prisoner said he wanted to get out of the house but could not. By the prisoner --The poker was hot, and your hand was burnt in 1 hree places. A formidable stick was here produced belmaging to the prisoner, found on the floor of the room. Mr. Beadon said one thing was perfectly clear. The man was found with a hot poker in his hand, and it was most probable the woman had taken it out of the fire, and the prisoner caught hold of it, the assault being made on him first. The question was what was the nature of the wound. Prisoner said the woman locked him in the room, and he wanted to leave. Sho threw his hat in the fire. He ham mered at the door, but no one came. She seized the poker, and it was in trying to get it from her that bis hand was burnt. They had a desperate struggle. He went to the door to try to get out, when she rushed at him again, and another struggle took place. The blow on, her head was caused by his warding off a blow, and she then rubbed the blood over her face and cried " Murder." The constable then came and he was taken into custody. Evidence having been given thLt the wound was caused by something like a poker, Mr. Beadon, believing there was some truth in prisoner's statement, fined him 405., or a month's imprisonment. RIGHT IN HIS RECKONlNG.—Frederick Hamilton, a young man, described as a copper plate maker, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing an Inverness cape of the value of 305. from the shop, and the property of Mr. Wm. Foster Smith, hosier, &c., 8, Coventry-street. The prisoner was seen by Gordon, 336 A, to take the cape from the prosecutor's doorway and make off, but being pursued into Whitcomb-street, was caught by the constable with the cape, bearing a large shop ticket on it, in his pos session. On being brought back the prisoner said he supposed he should get 6 months for it, and his supposition turned out correct, for Mr. Beadon sent him to prison for that term with hard labour, the prisoner as ho was leaving the deck seeming quite satisfied at the result, and expressing his intention of " doing it on his head." THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. THAMES. AN IMPUDENT THlEF.—Dennis Driscoll, an Irish coal whipper, aged 22, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with stealing a pair of boots, value 125., the property of Joseph Field, potman at the Star public-house in Shore ditch, The prosecutor said that on the 15th of October last he saw the prisoner leaving the pot-house at the back of the Star with a pair of boots under his coat. He immediately pursued the prisoner, and called out to him, " You have stolen my boots." The prisoner continued running, and owing to the foggy state of the weather he soon lost sight of him. The boots were nearly new ones, and coat 12s. Wm. Bartholomew, a police-constable No. 100 K, said ho met with the prisoner last night and took him into custody. The prisoner was wanted for another robbery, —for stealing a watch. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had been in custody before. The Prisoner.—Yes, that was for an assault. Roche.—For something worse than that. Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner if he would plead now or be sent for trial, 221 The Prisoner.—Settle it now. Mr. Yardley.—Do you plead guilty or not guilty. Prisoner.—Guilty. I stole tho boots, sir, from the pot house. Mr. Yardley.—You are a most impudent thief. You are wanted for another robbery, but I shall not punish you for that. I sentence you to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two calendar months. TRIG DAYS AIARRETS. HAY MARKETS.

MESON JONES " 01V GARIBALDI AND ITALY." Last evening, the large room of the Manchester Free-trade Hall was filled with a crowded audience to hear Mr. Mason Jones, who has just returned from Naples, deliver, for the first time in England an oration on " Garibaldi and Italy." The address occupied fully two hours; and, although Mr. Jones had occasionally to refresh his memory by a glance at his "notes," the interest of the audience never flagged. The day before Mr. Jones left Naples, Garibaldi desired him to express to Eng. lishmen his deep and abiding gratitude, not only for their material aid, but far more for the moral sympathy he had received from them in the great struggle in which he had been engaged. Garibaldi said he owed to England a debt of gratitude which he could never repay, but which he would never forget; and if Italy ever became one and united, England might reckon upon her as an ally, though her alliance might not prove so expensive as that of some of which she could boast. (Ap plause.) Mr. Jones gave a rapid outline of Gari baldi's life, social and political, from his birth to the revolution in Rome, in 1848 ; and then graphi cally sketched the leading incidents of Garibaldi's progress in liberating Sicily and part of Italy. The first thing that struck him in Garibaldi's character was the union of good with great qualities. It was the morale of the man that most impressed him, and that was the secret of the immense influence he exercised, and of the ardent attachment which was shown towards him by the Italian people. He was gentle as a lamb, confiding as a girl, tender as a woman, simple as a child, brave as a lion. But Garibaldi was not without his faults. As a military man he lacked the genius of organisation. Wherever he (Mr. Jones) went in Naples, he was struck with the want of order, respect, and discipline. Everybody went everywhere; no one knew his position ; and the duties of nobody were sharply defined. There was no regular commissariat ; the material of war was wanting for the army, although all the stores and a rsena l s i n Naples bursting with supplies. They had n o guns f or the gunners, and no gunners !Cr the guns. There were two regiments of cavalry in Naples, only thoy had no horses—(laughter)--- and yet there were thousands of horses in the stables or the corrupt nobility, who had fled from fear of the revolution. So exalted, however, Were Garibaldi's notions of honour that he would not take one of them. Mr. Songs gave a harrowing description of the torments endured by prisoners in the dungeons of Naples (many of which he had inspected with the correspondent of the 'limes); and remarked that no language could possibly exaggerate the horrible charucter of these places. The Neapolitans, he considered, were thoroughly degraded by a Jong course of tyranny and misgovernment. With a few exceptions, they were all rogues, liars, thieves, and cowards. The city of Naples, with the finest hay and the loveliest scenery in the world, was the filthiest den h e w as ever i n . The inhabitants dwelt in dirt; it was necessary to their life—the breath of th e i r nostr il s . Th e i r on l y redeeming feature was that they honoured and loved Garibaldi, which was enthusiastically cheered. In the course of the oration Mr. Jones remarked that he found it impossible to say all he wished in one evening, and therefore he should continue his subject on that night week.—Manchester Guardian. [This talented orator lectures on Thursday even ing, on the same subject, at St. James's Hall, Piccadilly.] THE REV. C. H. SPURGEON'S TABERNACLE. Last night a tea meeting was held in the large school-room of Islington Chapel, Upper-street, Islington, in aid of the fund for erecting the Metropolitan Tabernacle at Newington, for the congregation of the Rcv. C. H. Spurgeon. The attendance was very large. After tea had been disposed of the meeting adjourned to the chapel, where the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon presided. After devotional exercises, The Rev. CHAIRMAN, in addressing the assembly, remarked that their present meeting was only one of a considerable number which were about to be held. For the benefit of those who were not ac quainted with their movements he (Mr. Spurgeon) would tell them that they had for some time past been building a large structure which would hold upwards of 6,000 persons. It was not easy for him to give them an idea of its size, but suffice it to say that it was twice as large as Exeter Hall, and one third larger than the Surrey Music Hall. Many might say why build it so large ? In answer to this he would say that it was a growing conviction in the minds of many of his congregation that it would not be large enough. Seeing that they had 1,600 members of the church they could pretty well guess what the congregation was. Their present number of members more than filled their chapels. Their conversions also were more numerous than at any previous period ; they were going on at the rate of 300 every year. M a ny m i g ht ask . also, " Why have it opened free of debt?" In answer to this he would say because he had said it must be so, and he did not like to draw back. Their chapel would stand for generations as a representative chapel of Dissenters, and therefore he would not like it to be said, " that is all very well, but they had to borrow the money, and they are still in debt." If. therefore, he could get his friends to pay for it now, they would have no burden. But let them not ima gine that because they subscribed now they would not have to do so hereafter, because they would be most mightily mistaken. Other things would occupy their attention, which if they were in debt they would not be able to perform. They were all aware that he had undertaken to prepare a few young men for the ministry. But he hoped when their chapel was paid for to raise his present num ber to 100. He believed he had a call in this matter. He aimed not to bring out scholars but rough thunder men that could preach and be under. stood. He had often felt that there was a lack of these men—men who suited the people and spoke to them in their own language. The sum they originally wanted was £30,000 ; 124,000 of this had been subscribed, so that £6,000 was now all they wanted. This amount they were desirous of raising by the end of March, about which time they intended to open. He intended to be a beggar that night—a beggar as bold as br&ss. It was a matter that would only occur once in his life, and he therefore felt like the man who said when ho was doomed to be hanged, " It's only once, and 1 would like it done thoroughly well." The meeting was then addressed by the Rev. B. G. Thallis, Joseph Payne, Esq., the Rev. H. G. Ingram, &c., and after a liberal collection the Doxo logy concluded the proceedings. REVIV L 111BEI'MG AT _EXETER-lIALL On Sunday evening ameeting of an extraordi nary character was held in Exeter-hell. It had been announced by means of advertisements and placards that Exeter-hall would be opened on that night for a service to be conducted by three lay men, Mr. Reginald Radcliffe, Mr. Richard Weaver (formerly a prizefighter), and Mr. William Carter. The promise was kept, and at 6 o'clock the doors were thrown open. In less than a quarter of an hour the spacious building was densely packed, and it was deemed advisable at once to close the outer gates. The proceedings were opened by prayer, in the course of which the Almighty was earnestly implored to stretch down his arm from Heaven over London for the purpose of converting it, and espe cially for the purpose of checking Popery, priestcraft, Puseyism, and devilism, Mr. Carter read portions of the 6th chapter of St. Mark's Gospel, and in the course of a very energetic description of the efficacy of redemption assured his hearers that it was not to be secured by lifting up a poor rotten cross or miserable cru cifixes—nor in going to church with fine steeples, or listening to a lot of fellows with white night; gowns on. All these were miserable delusions What was wanted was real conversion, the classes in London who wanted it most beintgwwoernkt ing men, 98 out of every 100 of whom never to a place of worship at all, and the u nconverted nobility, many of whom were canting humbugs. Mr. Weaver followed, and from the . excitement arose it was which prevailed immediately he evi dent that he was the principala object of attraction. Er hymn to the tune of He commenced by " The King of the Csai.nn.ngnibna-1 Islands," in a very loud up the chorus • the words tone, the auditory taking He then took for being, " Still I have,n_ Union. Herein is love," &c., from St, his text the w ords, John's First Epistle. He called upon his hearers not to believe that the great scheme of human re demption was moonshine and humbug; but, on t h e contrary, it was able to encircle and convert the greatest blackguard in London. There were many ungodly persons in that hall who wanted shaking over hell for five or six minutes, anti if that would not convert them nothing would. As the speaker warmed with his subject he danced up and down the platform and shouted hell and damnation with a vigour which was perfectly appalling. Every now and then he denounced the unconverted, then appealed to them to come to Christ, and in the roughest language, and with the most violent ges ticulation, called upon those who believed that Christ had power to save to hold up their hands. About three-fourths of the audience did so ; the " contrary " was not put. During the proceedings several young women, whose feelings were operated upon, fainted and were carried out. Mr. Weaver afterwards sang another hymn, " I've a father in a promised land, to a lively air. Throughout the evening the audience were kept in the highest state of excitement, and at the close of the public service a meeting of a quieter kind was held for the recep tion of the unconverted. THE PRUSSIAN POLICE. An extraordinary prosecution is now going on in Berlin, of which the following account will be in teresting :-- The Court of Appeal of Berlin has just given its decision in a - ease that has excited an unusual degree of interest, not only in Prussia, but through out Germany. A director of the Berlin police, M. Stieber, having been charged with official miscon duct and abuse of his functions, the lower Court de cided that the evidence adduced was insufficient; and on this ground of defective proofs of the several heads of the accusation the case against M. Stieber was dismissed. He was not fully acquitted, but the charges were held as " not proven." Against this decision the prosecution appealed to the Senat of the Criminal Court, and the investigation was renewed before this higher tribunal. The Procureur du Roi, M. Schwarck, conducted the prosecution officially, and his address to the Court contained a series of revelations of the despotism and corruption of the Police Adminis tration in Berlin that have caused an extraordinary sensation in that capital. It is not that the public are surprised by the allegations —that the police was all-powerful, and that its power was abused by its agents and officers, was too well known before ; but such an exposure of the system has never yet been made on high official authority. In support of the special charges against M. Stieber, the Public Prosecutor asserts that the Prussian Police Department has for several years sys tematically set itself above the law : that it has arrested illegally and arbitrarily, imprisoned, and detained in confinement any person it pleased, and for indefinite periods of time; and that individuals so arrested, without having any formal charge brought against them, after the lapse of weeks or months, have been r e l ease d w ith ou t judicial inquiry. In some cases persons politically suspected, after having been thus arrested and imprisoned, have been expelled from the Prussian territory without even a semblance of a trial. it is stated also, that is Berlin the police have frequently interfered in the most imperious manner between the opposing parties in questions of debt, and, by threats of various kinds, have compelled them to offer or accept terms of settlement that caused them serious pecuniary loss and damage. In short, the picture of the Prussian police, drawn by this official pencil, is that of an imperimn in inzperio, continually overriding the written law, vexatiously meddle. some, irresponsible and tyrannical. The specific facts that, in th e case o f M. Stieber, support the more general allegations are as follow:—The Pub lic Prosecutor states that when he was appointed to his office in 1853, he found the law relating to free dom of the person (part of the constitution as settled in 1850) had become a dead letter, He endeavoured to enforce on the Police Department some degree of observance of that law by demanding that, in the case of any arrest, the party should be brought before a Juge d'lnstruction within the term legally fixed. Conferences were held between the judicial and the police authorities en this subject, but they led to nothing. In the course of the discussions M. Stieber, representing both the opinion and prac tice of the police, said the enactment of 1850 was an absurd and stupid law, and that the 24 hours it appointed as the time within which a prisoner must be charged, in the first instance, before a magistrate, was much too brief, and therefore the whole law must be set aside ; and this the Police Department has always done. The defective evi dence, however, has compelled the Court of Appeal to confirm the first decision, and the case is dis missed. But the statements of the Public Prosecu tor have aroused so much public indication that the Government has been obliged to act extra judicially, and a Ministerial order has deprived M. Stieber of all his functions. Baron Charles Dupin has just concluded the last volume of the proceedings of the French commission on the industry of nations. This important work is published by the order •f the Emperor Napoleon. The volume just pub lished treats of the productive forces of the East. It con tains interesting details on Russia in Asia, China, and Japan. The seventhvolume of M. Frangois Victor Hugo's translation of Shakspeare has just been published at Paris, under the separate title " Les Amants Tragiques." It con tains " Anthony and Cleopatra" and " Romeo and Juliet," and, to the last-named play, an introduction, by M. Victor Hugo, in which Italy, rising from the tomb, is compared to the heroine. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE MURDER AT TORRYBURN.—The tragic event took place in a public house in the village, occupied by the father of the deceased. INlTann had been drinking there during the evening, and having, after some time, shown signs of being considerably the worse for what he had had, more drink was refused him, although ho asked repeatedly for it. The deceased, who was sitting by the fireside, then advised M'Cann not to ask for any more, as he thought ho had had enough. ikl`Cann then raised his gun, and, taking aim at Debbie, said, " If you say another word, you b—, I'll shoot you;" to which Dobbie replied, " I think you'll no do that." No sooner had the words passed his mouth than the gun went off, its contents lodging in the abdomen, and causing so large a wound that a porticos of the intestines protruded. The unfortunate man lingered on for about three hours, and is stated to have repeatedly said, " M'Cann has mur dered me ; you must see him apprehended." M'Cann, as v as stated, was apprehended the same night, and now lies in Dunfermline jail,"—Caledonian Mercury. DR. LIVIN G S TONE. The following letter has just been received by the liishop of Oxford from Dr. Livingstone : " Senna, April 7.. "My Lea . d. Bishop.—By a letter from the Bishop of South Africa lately learned with great satis faction that a ,beginning had been made of a great work for the interior of this country. I am extremely glad and thankful to hear that the Universities intend to send forth, as in the olden time, missionaries to seek to win to the faith of Christ the heathen of Africa. The Bishop's letter was found among some fragments of a lost mail bag- which floated some seven miles west of the spot where they were launched, and I presume to think that a letter from your lordship on a subject in which you take such a special interest may be among the things which have perished. " By my letter respecting the opening made into the Highland Lake region from the Shire you will have seen that simultaneously with your prayerful. movement at home our steps have been directed to a field which presents a really glorious prospect. for the mission. By the Shire you get easily past. the unfriendly border tribes, and then the ridge which rises on the east to a height of 8,000 feet affords variations of climate within a few miles of each other. The region bathed by the lakes is pre eminently a cotton-producing one, and, as far as we can learn from Burton and Speke, the people possess the same comparative mildness of disposi tion as I observed generally prevailing away from the seacoast. Thvre are difficulties no doubt,—an unreduced language, and people quite ignorant of the motives of missionaries, with all the evils of its being the slave market. But your University men are believed to possess genuine English pluck and will, no dotibt, rejoice to preach Christ's Gospel beyond other men's line of thhigs. View ing the field in all its bearings, it seems worthy of the universities and of the English Church, and. • • bearing in mind and heart Him who promised, " Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world," there is not the shadow of a doubt but that her mission will become a double blessing— to our own over-crowded home population and to the victims of slavery and the slave trade through out the world. Let the Church of England only enter upon this great work with a will, and nations and tribes will bless her to the latest generations. The late Dr. Phillips, of the Cape, told me that missionaries always did most good by doing things in their own way. lam fully convinced that your way of sending a Bishop with your mission is an admirable one. The field is all your own. I think that the Church is called upon to put forth her best energies, and endeavour to repay somewhat the wrongs we have done to Africa. " The French have a strong desire to enter before us. A Senor Cruz, the great agent of the French emigration from this coast, lately returned from Bourbon with a sugar-mill and coffee-cleaning machine, sugar canes of superior quality and coffee seed, and two Frenchmen to work the machines. Both, however, soon perished of fever. The Por tuguese hate us and our objects, partly because of our religion, but chiefly because we suppress the, slave trade. They desire the French to come and establish their authority over the slaves. At present Portuguese slave rule is mild, because the slave can so easily flee to independent tribes. If the French slave system were established here, slave-hunting would go on until the country was deeopulated. Even for the incipient plantation of Cruz there is slave-hunting among the very people we lately visited at Sheba and Negassa. The mission will require a steamer drawing about 8 feet to serve as a home till preparations are made. Having lost my despatches, I do not know whether Govern ment will give me another ; it would be at the ser vice of the mission. I send home Mr. Rae, our engineer, to superintend a second for the lakes. This we shall build whether we get one from the Government or not. It is to be made capable of being unscrewed and carried past the cataracts. It will give security to settlers, without firing a shot, and will promote the extinction of the slave trade by lawful commerce more than several ships on the ocean. My brother, Mr. Charles Livingstone, will take charge of trade for a time. I rejoice that Miss Coutts has come nobly for ward and aided the Bishop to establish an institu tion for the sons of the chief—sorry it was not in existence when I was with Seehle. lam going up to the Makololo country to return my native friends home. " Affectionately yours, "D. LIVIN GSTONE," LiTAL GUNPOW - DER EXPLOSION. An alarming explosion of gunpowder took place at Norwich on Saturday evening in the shop of Mr. R. Marrison, gunsmith, &c., Orford-place, Or ford bill. It appears that on Saturday Mr. Mar rison, who has been a resident in Norwich for many years, placed behind the counter of his shop 401 b. of gunpowder and a quantity of fireworks and ball cartridges. He has not been in the habit of keep ing such a quantity of powder in his shop, but Saturday being market-day at Norwich brings with it a larger demand for." villanous saltpetre" than any other period of the week. Everything pro ceeded as usual during the day, and shortly before 7 p.m. Mr. Marrison went out to speak to Mr. Franklin, the occupier of the adjoining premises, leaving in his own shop a 3 outh about 12 years of age, named Harrison. He had not been absent more than three minutes when a terrible explosion took place, the whole 401 b. of powder having by some means at present unexplained become ignited. The results of the explosion were most serious, the shop and house of Mr. Marrison being reduced to a complete wreck, and the stock of guns, &e., to a mass of almost useless rubbish. The shop of Mr. Franklin, who has carried on business as a photo grapher, printseller, &c., was almost as seriously injured, the windows being blown out and the stock rendered valueless. The next shop, occupied by Mr. Boston, a pawnbroker, did not wholly escape, the party wall being slightly injured, and a great quan tity of glass broken. The same remark applies to the Napier Tavern, on the other side of Mr Marri son's shop, while the premises directly opposite occu pied by Mr. Kemp, a saddler, suffered mostseverely, the shop front being bl ow n in, and the damage extending to a bac parlour, while singularly enough, one of the canisters which exploded came down one of the chimneys. The windows of the Bell Hotel, close by, were also broken to some extent. Of course, amid so much demolition of immediately pro perty the human being s in the shattered buil dings did not remain unhur t. The house in which the afterwards explosion took t u place be u n wasfire but discovered h t e Norwich Fire Brigade, under the direction of Mr. Hitchman, the s upply of water being obt a i ne d fro chief constab le, were p rom p tl y on the spot, and a good m the hydrants in the street, the flames were subdued in As soon as this result a w b a o s u u t b a t a q i u n a e r d t e a r n of a e a t v h e o s u e r a . reh was commenced for the boy Harrison, who was miming, and after about an hour his body was found in the debris at the rear of the shop. The poor lad was quite dead and his clothing was burnt off his charred and dis figured remains. Mr. Marrison himself, who, as before stat e d, was in the shop of Mr. Franklin at the time the accident d occurre , was for some time buried 'with his neighbour beneath a mass of rub bish, and the nervous system of both sustained, of course, a severe shock, Mr. Franklin especially appearing completely stupified when extricated. A married sister of Franklin's, Mrs. Dady, was at the moment when the accident happened in a room over his shop, extending partly over Marrison's pre mises sthe ceiling of this apai tment was blown away the room gutted, and the unfortunate woman much injured, being fearfully burnt about the arms and upper part of her body. She was removed to Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, where she remained up to yesterday in a critical condition, although hopes are entertained of her recovery. The poor woman had her two children in the house. with her, and one being quite an infant was in bed. Both these children were gallantly rescued by a sailor named Robert Crabtree, who with heroic courage forced his way up to them and threw both down into the street, where they were safely caught by some of the bystanders. Mrs. ]Vlarrison was in the parlour at the rear of her husband's shop, with Miss Woodward, a visitor; but both were extricated from the ruins without being seriously hurt, althoughss Woodward was slightly burnt. The ruined houses were shored up under the directio n 3li Barry, city surveyor, so as to prevent the of Al r.

The origin of the disaster remains an unex plained mystery, the only person who could have thrown any light upon it having perished.
