Our system of indirect taxation is not, in itself, unjust. It has been rendered unjus't in its opera tion by the action of the Money Laws of 1819 and 1844. Of these laws you, sir, are a supporter. You are, therefore, a supporter of that fiscal system which, as you allege, is unmatched in "meanness and cruelty." You may, perhaps, allege that the evil effects of the 'Money Law of 1819 have passed away. These evil effects never can pass away, so long as the level of prices in our markets is kept low by Act of Parliament. Let British prices be determined by unlimited British competition ; but to inflict by law, a low level of prices, is to rob the mass of British producers of their fair measure of reward, and to convert British commerce into gambling of the wildest description. The evils which the p t m , r o o ed n r cu a ica l e l ld c l a l e as b:o s eu e rr s ys o y‘ f lei d at r e h, b tors and of producer s , Money Law of 1819 i n fli cted at the period of its en fionretiligenearsd.j us o tm u e r n s t ki o li f our a ae r e t m e i may increase—our industry may expand to any conceivable extent—but our money laws secure foreigners against any increase in the reward of the British labourer. The results are before us. Every year we give to foreigners more and more. Every year we receive from foreigners less and less. Year by year the mass of exports increases, while the prices paid for these exports lessen. Year by year the relative mass of our imports lessens, while the prices which we pay for these imports increase. In our commercial intercourse with foreigners we now throw away every year a larger sum than is paid by the labourers of England in the form of taxes on consumption. Yet foci, Sir, rejoice in the extension of our foreign trade, conducted as that trade has been ever since the money law of 1819 came into operation on principles ruinous to the labourers of England. You applaud a system which has rendered the industry of England tributary to annuitants and to money dealers at home, and to foreigners in every quarter of the globe. You, who profess to see in the system of Free -trade a con summation of political wisdom uphold a scheme ' which limits prices by law, which decrees that if the wealth of England should be multiplied an hundred-fold, the labourers of England shall never, directly, participate in that wealth, except to the extent which prices limited to a level conforming to gold at £3 17s. 10d. per ounce may allow. La bourers create all values.. Our money laws limit the increasing prices in which increasing values would naturally find expression. Our money I,ws have, decreed that all values, above an d beyond what may be represented by an artificially low level of prices, shall be transferred partly to usurers and to annuitants at home, and Partly to foreigners with whom we have commercial dealings. Our money laws, by denying taxation prices to British producers, have for 40 years doomed the British labourer to increase in toil, and to no share of the national wealth, except that which is not permitted to increase in proportion to the increase of the productive power of England. Our money laws have narrowed the field of productive industry. Our money laws have driven millions of our de- 1 FL E R MISS KAVANAGH'S NEW WORK. S On Saturday, Dec. 3, in 3 vols.,- E V E . Y -- E A It S. By JULIA KAVANAGH, Author of "Nathalle," "Adele," " The Two Si&lies," &c. Hurst and Blackett, Publishers,l3, Great Marlborough-street. (From the Derbyshire Courier) The demonstration of Mr. Bright and the Man chester School of Financial Reformers is fixed for the Ist of December. The .Times had an article on Wednesday on the "impudent fallacies" and "mis chievous untruths" put forth by Mr. Bright in his recent letter on taxation, in which he tells the working classes "that there is something 'essent:ily mean and singuTarly cruel in the way in which the taxation of this country has been and is levied." And he affirms that the great bulk of the indirect taxes is paid by the labourers and working men. The Times states, from th e ca l cu l at i ons of the.Emmomist, t hat of the Customs andlExcise duties " the richer classes for themselves or their ser vants pay about six -tenths," and shows that the desire of the House of Commons for the last 17 years has been to reduce the taxes paid by the working classes while it increased those paid by the upper and middle classes. The Times justly observes .that "the English workman is more vitally interested in the safety and good govern ment of England than even any other class," and concludes by telling Mr. Bright that " it is an easy, but a wicked act, in any public man to persuade a credulous multitude that they are unjustly treated in this matter, and to raise a groundless dissatisfac tion for a political purpose." Now while we fully admit that the working man ought to contribute his fair share to the national taxation, and also admit that there has been a decided intention on the part of the Legislature to lessen the burdens of the working classes, we. beg to repeat what we have so often stated, and we think demonstrated, before, ?timely, that the opera tion of our monetary laws goes' throw an unjust proportion of taxation on the producing classes, to the benefit of the consumers. This is the case wheneier the contraction of the currency prevents the producer from obtaining a fair price for his produce, and consequently obliges him to lower unduly the wages of his workmen. At a time of panic this process takes place to such an extent that the producer, the manufacturer, not only can not give reduced wages, but is obliged to cease from giving any wages. lie shuts up his mill or factory, and buys no more labour for a time. What the Wines does not say in reply to Mr. Bright has been mo s t a bly said by Mr. John Bell in a letter which states the argument with logical force and precision, and affords an unanswerable reply to the fallacious misstatements of Mr. Bright. We beg to commend this letter to the attentive consideration of our readers. TO JOHN BRIGHT, ESQ., M.P.

The following is published in the report of the surveyors appointed to examine the Great Eastern steamship at Holyhead, for the purpose of ascer taining whether the contract to fit her for sea had been honestly carried out : GREAT EASTERN STEAMSHIP, HOLYHEAD, Oct. 18. Gentlemen,—ln compliance with your request, we have made a complete survey of the Great Eastern, but, not having had time to prepare our detailed report, we beg to submit the following re marks upon the points referred to in your letter, and some others which we think it important you should brill(' under the consideration of the board. With ref erence" to the intimation that Mr. Russell alleges that his contract is completed, we mark that the hull of the ship, to which our survey has been specially directed (exclusiveof the engines), is not completed either as to the " general scope " or the " details of the contract" as a first-class pas senger ship, such as those of Cunard's line. or the Royal West India Mail Company, and that, in her present state, it would be imprudent to send her to sea on a lengthened voyage. We are unable at present to arrive at a definite opinion as to the cost of the works necessary for the completion of the ship in all respects in accordance with the contract. The amount must be very large. We are unable to state the amount of damages con sequent on the delay in sending her to sea. We may remark generally that, with the excep tion of a few cabins, the accommodations are by no means equal to the requirements of a first-class pas senger steamer, such as Cunard's line or the Royal West India Mail steamers, but are very inferior— materials, workmanship, and furniture. The accommodation for the officers and crew is by no means such as ought to have been provided and is required by the contract. The decks are not tight, and a great deal of in ferior material and workmanship have been used in them. There is no heating apparatus for warming the cabins in winter. There is a considerable amount of work which is absolutely necessary to be performed before the ship can be trusted on a lengthened voyage across the Atlantic, which work would require a considerable time to execute in an efficient manner ; and, even with this done, the ship would riot be what the contract requires her to be; and deficiencies in other respects w )uld be a constant source of expense and annoyance to the company.—We are, gentle men, your obedient servants, GEORGE BAYLEY.

[AnvEßTisEmENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Quinsey, Sore Throat.—With the foggy, damp winter even ings the human throat becomes subject to many diseases, particularly inflammation and ulceration. In quinsey or inflamed throat, Holloway's ointment well rubbed upon the b to o p en boftlhtheecd in hestwanardargalt and round the water, throat and dried , ,afterthose has pa a on rts w hav! derful power in checking the inflammation, and removing all the unpleasantness and danger caused by quinsey.

Mr. Knole, of Allogate, Durham, was thus cured, when, from inability to swallow, his life was ds e diseases ar eendangered. totally K dissipatede a ls, enblayrgthede same glands, tre a a tva nd en a t l . l skin Sir,—ln the letter which you recently addressed to Mr. Brierley, you have given expression to opinions which, if sound, affect not your constituents only, but all classes of the community. If unsound, these opinions ought to be denounced by every man who prizes the honour and prosperity of England. In your discourse on taxation, you calumniate (as is your fashion) the whole body of British land owners. Their elder sons, you observe, take the family estates; the younger sons, you assert, live 'on public plunder; therefore (such is your conclu sion) landowners foster every form of public extra vagance. The rich impose taxes, which, as you allege, the poor pay. O ur wh o l e fiscal system is, in your opinion, marked by meanness and cruelty. The Customs' and Excise duties yield £42,000,000 annually. Of that sum the greater portion, you allege, is paid by people without property; while the burdens affecting visible property do not, you contend, exceed £10,000,000 a year. The Income Tax you describe as " hateful and intolerable," but more " intolerable" and more " hateful" still, seems to you our whole system of indirect taxation. The remedy which you propose for this "hateful and intolerable" state of things is the transference of political power from the hands of the middle classes to the hands of the classes who possess no " visible property." If your assertions as to the character of our fiscal system were absolutely true, it by no means seems to follow from your own principles that the remedy which you prescribe would be efficacious in working out a better state of things. In the first place, as the waste of public money has, in your opinion, been becoming more scandalous every year during the last quarter of a century, and as democratic influences have during the whole of that period been acquiring greater force, it is difficult' to understand why the mere extension of demo cratic power shouid be hailed as the infallible cor rective of public extravagance. In the next place, as the rich, according to your theory, use their political power as an instrument for plundering the poor, does not your unfavourable estimate of human nature warrant the conclusion that, after the transference of • political power which your system demands shall be completed, the poor will, necessarily. plunder the rich. If robbery be perpetrated by law, the aim of an honest legislator ought surely to be to put a stop to the system—not merely to change the victims. 4 The assertions, however, which you parade as facts, happen to he widely r emove d from truth. It is not true that the families of British land owners live on public plunder. It is not true that landowners have an interest in promoting wasteful expenditure by Government. It is not true that "visible property" contributes only £10,000,000 towards the £65,000,000 which the English Go vernment levies year by year. Of the £42,000,000 raised annually by means of Excise and Customs' duties, have you attempted to ascertain what proportion is paid, directly, by the rich ? And of the proportion advanced by the labouring classes, have you attempted to ascertain whether any, and what, part is represented in the wages paid by the employers of labour? You, Sir, characterise the income tax as " hate ful and intolerable." Is that tax more intolerable, more hateful, and more unjust than all direct taxa tion may be shown to be? Yet you are understood to be an advocate of direct taxation. Are you, Sir, justified in asserting of excise and customs' duties that they are in themselves " hate ful and intolerable ?" If consumers did in reality pay all taxes on consumption, and if labourers might add to the prices of the articles which they produce, the taxes on consumption which they ad vance while engaged in the business of production —what reasonable objection could any labourer urge against excise and customs' duties ? If all taxes might he thrown on consumers, the pressure of taxation on the labourer would, obviously, be very light. Labourers produce everything. Labourers do not consume everything. Let con sumers be exclusively taxed, and the burden of taxation would not merely rest on the shoulders of the rich; but no class of rich men-could shirk their fair contribution to the Exchequer. Taxes on con sumption, fairly levied, would of course affect the owners of " visible property," like houses and lands. Taxes on consumption, falsely levied, would affect also the owners of property not quite so " visible" —would affect the usurer, the " hard calculator," and the race of rich men who profit by the de pression of productive industry. I have assumed, Sir, that taxes on consumption shall be fairly levied—that the labourer shall, in other words, be enabled to add to the price of the article which ho produced, the indirect taxes which he has advanced - during the process of production. But to the attainment of such a result, the labourer needs the, aid of a peculiar system of currency. Me tallic money, with gold at a low fixed price—or paper money convertible into metallic money of the kind indicated—will not secure justice to the British labourer. Metallic money is the money of the world at large. The money ( f the world can only be made to express those values, which form the basis of the system of commerce carried on by various divisions of the world. The money of the world is not capable of representing the taxation, or other social necessities, of particular communities. Each nation, therefore, needs a peculiar system of currency—a system of currency which, by permit ting taxes pressing on the labourer to be added to prices, may secure to the labourer a fair share of the wealth which he creates. Taxation Money would shield the producing classes from every form of fiscal oppression. You may, perhaps, ask what is meant by taxa tion-money ? Taxation-money would be money issued by Government, subject (so far as amount is concerned), to the control of Parliament. With that money, Government would effect its annual disbursements. In that money Government would receive its taxes. That money would constitute a legal tender in the discharge of private obligations. In that money, the price of gold and silver would rise and fall, as the prices of all other commodities would rise and fall, in obedience to the law of sup ply and demand. Taxation -money would be the English labourer's safeguard, for which taxation-money prices would rise in direct proportion to the increase of taxation, and in direct proportion Llio to the increase of na tional wealth. The enhanced prices would keep the balance even between producers and consumers —between the debtor and creditor classes of society. Nor would these enhanced prices affect injuriously our foreign trade. Quite the reverse. Our foreign trade would be fairly regulated by metallic values ; and these would be undisturbed by the use, in this Although only six months have elapsed since the accession of Francis 11. to the throne of the Two Sicilies, the character of the King's Government has already acquired a positive and well-marked character. All the virtues with which the world was willing to credit the young monarch have been repudiated, ell the , hopes generously built on the trying and instructive circumstances of his accession have been proved vain at the outset of his career. Francis is as abject in superstition, as suspicious and mean in oppression, as Ferdinand. If there is any difference, perhaps it is in favour of the old tyrant, whose domestic policy had at least the merit of frankness, a quality which, as we are about to show, is not inherited by his weak successor. An impression has become general that the condition of persons who were obnoxious to the Government of the Two Sicilies on account of their political opi nions heti been sensibly improved by the accession of the new King. As our readers are aware, the number of political prisoners in Naples far ex ceeds the accommodation of the State prisons. To supply this defect, the Government has adopted a vast system of internentent, under which a man is compelled to reside as an exile in some part of the kingdom where he has no connection or pursuits, and from which he may not remove. This class of per sons is numbered by tens of thousands, and its mem bers are to be found everywhere. They are a source of great inconvenience to .the Government, which cannot easily rid • itself of men against whom nothing can be alleged but that they - are politically suspected. On the 16th of June last King Francis granted what was styled an amnesty, under which it was hoped that the attendibili, as prisoners of this class are called, would be restored to their homes, their friends, and their civil avoca-, tipns. But the decree of amnesty was followed at an interval of only t wo d a y s b y a circular addressed by M. Canella, Director of Police, to the Intendants of the several districts of the monarchy, in which they were required to observe the following rules : ‘, 1. Whenever political attendibili shall apply for travel ling passes to Naples and other places, you must persuade them not to insist upon obtaining these passes in conside ration of the dangers to which they expose themselves on the part of the Government. " 2. In case they shall persist, and invoke the recent de cree of the 16th inst. (the amnesty), you must previously inform mo of it without the least delay. "3. - Whenever in virtue of the said 'decree they shall demand certificates for the purpose of undergoing public examinations or of obtaining licenses to practise in any profession or art, or for sny other purpose whatever, or whenever the weakness of the municipality shall have per mitted them to be proposed as candidates for communal offices, you must always act in concert with me, so that none of those documents or acts of nomination are ever to be granted without my authorisation previously given. Should any one of the attendibili think of going abroad, you must immediately inform him that it will be very diffi cult for him to raturn home, and in ease he shall nersisi in his resolution you must instantly send word . of it to this Ministry and to that of Foreign . Affairs. For this purpose,_ when sending any ordinary d ocumen t s re l at i ve t o demands for passports to foreign countries, you must state not merely the quality of the attendibili, but also every co relative circumstance. "4. It remains expressly understood that all the decisions concerning the arrest, removal, burial, and all other police measures, remain in full force as affecting those who are compromised by their words or acts since 1848 and 1849. These measures remain equally in force against those who compromised themselves in 1848 and 1849, measures that were ordained by special regulations, and which will be dictated in future by a spirit of precaution. " You continue to be Monsieur l'lntendant, personally responsible for the least deviation froxn this regulation. You will be duly informed of the changes and energetic measures you will be directed to'enforco in accordance with the will and the orders of your superior." The amnesty, which expresses the gracions intentions of the Monarch, was intended for the European public; but the lot of the political pri soners was to be effectively fixed by this circular. We here see the Government extending one hand to offer a gift, and raising the other to threaten those who might be inclined to accept it. There is n.)t one point in which the amnesty seems to improve the condition of the atlendibili in respect of which the_ circular does not most completely nullify its provisions. The history of a kingdom governed on principles so purely personal as is that of Naples can supply but little instruction ; accordingly, in the absence of wars and revolu tions, we snail employ in more promising fields much of the attention we formerly devoted to the Two Sicilies; but we could not withhold from the public this last trait of Bourbon rule at Naples.— Daily News. DEATH OF THE CITY SWORDBEARER.— Mr. C. W. Hick, formerly a leading member of the Court of Common C.uncil, and for the last quarter of a century swordbearer to the city, died on Sunday at his residence, Acre-lane, Brixton, at the ripe old age of 94, of pleurisy. The Lord Mayor has appointed as his successor, pre tom., Mr. H. W. Sewell, who for some years past has discharged the active duties of the office. (Fiom the 2Yazcs) Were anything wanted to give a fresh impetus to the " rifle fever," it would be an attempt by the authorities to administer a cooling draught, out of regard to the feelings of our too sensitive neigh bour. Let it be officially announced that the Em peror of the French made a point of our disarming, by land and by sea, and let orders to that effect be sent down to our dockyards, our recruiting sta tions, and our LOrd Lieutenants, and the only result would be that every man in England fit to be intrusted with firearms would be enrolled in a rifle club before Easter next. There would also be a change of Ministry the first week in February.' It is not that people expect anything, or really fear anything. We are in no immediate apprehension when we bolt and bar our house doors. Our school boys practise the noble art of self-defence, and give one another hard knocks, all in play, and without a thought of serious quarrelling. Indeed, while we enjoy greater security than other nations, we be stow as much superfluous trouble for peace and quiet as the Dutch do for cleanliness. We main tain a policeman, at the cost of near X5O a year, in almost every village, in order that we may be quite sure of seeing eventually on our table every indivi dual of the interesting family of ducklings now waddling about our farmyards. Confidence with us is a national'luxury, and we care not what we pay for it. - That is the whole secret of the prepa rations which,:like the slow and gentle undulations on the surface of- a pool, are spreading to every hamlet in this isle. Day by day the pressure is increasing, and not only country gentlemen want ing to do something more than hunt foxes and shoot pheasants ; not only fast young men, but stout yeomen and fathers of families, are summoned to a regular evening drill. Agricultural meetings, once perverted into Protectionist demonstrations, now call to arms, and no recruiting sergeant could de his work better than the members for agricultural counties. Slowly have we come to this state of things, and slowly shall we leave it, if we do so in our time. The people who frequent a provincial town-hall or Market table don't rashly give up a notion they have once imbibed. They are very apt to suspect mischief when they hear advice con trary to their prejudices,. and at this moment any Minister who told us that all other nations were disarming, and that therefore we ought to follow their example, would only fan the new flame. Should any such proposition' be made, in good or evil part, it would be sufficient to paint to the enthusiastic orators and hearers at Taunton for example. These people don't excite themselies in a hurry. They are not the men who demand to be led to Paris, and many of them would probably ap preciate the discomfort of a journey to London at this time of the year. Yet they have only to be told on respectable authority that England has been threatened or insulted, and they commit themselves to do anything they may be asked to do. The yeomanry will go out for an extra month ; and the others, if no longer light horsemen,. will meet an hour or two a-week or a-day for drill or rifle exer cise. We wait here for numbers, authority, and example ; but, when we once have them, we go on, and are not easily called back. It is true that the state of English society offers many obstacles in the way of a general armament ; but they are only ob stacles, and will be surmounted. It is not a pleasant thing to be a special constable when the foe is a mob, with the certainty of brickbats, and a fair chance of something worse ; yet there never is the least difficulty in obtaining any number of special constables, be the emergency ever so sudden or ever so serious. Our domestic habits and our mutual jealousies do not prevent political co-operation on the largest scale. They have not prevented a sys tem of social organisation to be found only in this country. They did not prevent the formation of a militia in evei.y market town at the beginning of the century, and they will not p reven t a repetition of that process on any scale that public opinion may now think required. It will be observed that nobody flatters our rural patriots. They are not told they can fight without drill, or break a square of infantry as easily as they could a dry fence. But they are told they may have to fight for their homes, and that, in the event of a successful landing, they may have to retreat a hundred miles or so, seeing all their homesteads given to the flames, and county after county converted into deserts. They are loft to conclude that we should have rather a hard time of it, and that England would have to pay a large price for her safety. All this is far from pleasant to men long habituated to regular meals, quiet sleep, good attendance, dry roofs, and ,no other foe than pilferers and small vermin. These people may be ready to meet a more terrible foe face to face, if necessary, but they would rather be spared. It is not in their line. Were it au affair of fists, or of hard riding, they would feel it all fair ; but it is not fair to be suddenly matched with men who have made soldering their business all their lives. So they would rather it did not come to this. They expect the navy to advance in proportion to the growth of our internal defences. Paradox as it may seem, the more we prepare ourselves to meet an invader on our own shores the less should we permit him to land. Preparation itself provokes. All this talk of rifles is unavoidably the hurling back of a menace, and therefore a menace itself. These things provoke one another. Neither side can or will sit still till the other does, and that in reality, not pretence. As for a common disarmament, if such a thing has been proposed, it could only be as a figure of speech, with no serious meaning. But the other day France had not armed, and would not arm,. and then suddenly poured 200,000 men across her frontier, and drove Austria out of Lombardy in a few days' march. France, of course, is now as unarmed as she was then, and that cannot mean much. There can, indeed, be no common terms between a country which lays the whole of its population under the conscription and another which trusts wholly to volunteers. Our army and navy are both volunteer ser vices, got together and kept together with im mense difficulty and by high pay. Once laid aside they arc RS good as thrown away, and cannot be replaced. It has been shown over and over again that were every regiment disbanded and every ship put out of commission, France could summon a new army of trained soldiers and a navy of good sailors in a fortnight, if need be. For her to disarm is only to give her men a furlough, and save herself their pay. Our soldiers and sailors would have flown away to every corner of the land and every shore in the world, beyond the reach of recall. It is the system of France to provide against the evils of disarmament, and to reduce it to a mere name. She' has a reserve of soldiers and sailors, good enough at least to make an army and a navy for any emer g ency , and that reserve she has always within call. We have no such system. Disarmament with us is a serious reality. It is equivalent to burning the ship and casting away the sword altogether, instcd of merely turning it into a pruninghook for the time. No such pro position has bean made, to the best of our belief, and none such will be made. The bare sugges tion is little more that a jest. We are twitted for our Channel fleet and our rifle corps. It is evident, however, that the latter have no desire to cross the Channel; and it is not in regard to that alternative that France can object to them. The Almanach de Gotha for 1860, which has just appeared, does not take any notice of the changes made in Italy by the last war, with the exception of Lombardy. The reason apparently is nothing is yet officially decided'on. Lombardy no longer stands under the head of Austria, neither does it find a place in the article relative to Pied mont. Nothing is changed in the Almanach in the Roman States, nor in the Duchies of Tuscany, Parma, and Modena; the Marquis Taney de Nerli remains designated as the re presentative of the Grand Duke Ferdinand IV. The Almanach is evidently waiting until the Congress shall have definitively decided on the reorganisation of Central Italy.

The formal business Of electing scene new-Mem bers having been gone through, The CHAIRMAN called on the Secretary to read the letters from Dr. Livingstone. The SECRETARY said the communications rela tive to the Livingstone expedition were so volumi nous, that it would not be possible to read a quarter of them. He should, therefore, confine himself to readisg the most important of them. The first letter he should read was addressed by Dr. Living stone to the Earl of Malmesbury. The first letter he read stated, that after the alarm created by their arrival had subsided, they landed, leaving . the vessel in command cf the quartermaster, stokers, and a chief named Chibisa, and with Dr. Kirk and -13 Makololo advanced on foot; until they had dis covered a magnificent inland lake, called Shirwa which had no outlet, and is separated from the lake Nynagesi (probably the Nyassa Nyanja, or Uniamesi, which is believed to extend pretty well up to the equator) by a tongue of land only five or six miles broad, and as he ascended the southern end of the Shirwa is not more than 30 miles distant from a branch of the navigable Shire, Thb course pursued was chiefly north, and along the banks of the Shire. They ascended the country, and as they did so their route became very tortuous, as they had to go from — one chiefs village to another, and the formalities occupied in c onv i nc i ng t h ose great little men that they were not a company of marau ders took up considerable time. Chibisa was the only chief that did not deem it necessary to call his people together and arm them before giving an audience, and his influence was of great service to • them. His progress was so sloW that after travel. ling for a fortnight they were not more than 40 miles in a straight line from the ships. He crossed the spur of a mountain called Dzomba and &tuba. On the south side they got a distant view of a part of Lake Shirwa, at the feet of a range of high mountains at the east. On the 18th of April lie reached the shores of the lake,, and fbund many streams flowing into, it, but' the ,natives knew of no outlet. The adjacent country was well watered, and several streams flow into it, and form the Tolornbe and - Zombane, which flow into the lake. The water is bitter, but drinkable, and abounds in fish, and the country abounds in alligators and hippopotami. The height of the lake Chibisa was 2,000 feet above the level of the sea. Dzomba, was over 6,000 feet high, and the spur he crossed on the south was 3,400 feet above the ship. The whole district was well, though not densely populated with the Mang e*, who inhabit the banks of the river Shire from Morambola up to Chibisa's place, but they occupy the eastern bank only and the adjacent mountains beyond that point. The western bank above Chibisa is peopled by the Maravi. None of this tribe are to be met with near Shirwa, so that it would be improper to identity them with the Lake Maravi of the maps. The Portuguese do not even pretend to know Shirwa, but, after the first Euro pean had traversed this vast continent, the Portu guese Minister claimed the honour for two black men who were trading to that part of the country, but'it was in the memory of a lady now living at Zette that those two black men came thither dressed and armed like the people of Louda, but proceeded no further than there. They thus failed by about 4,000 miles of what was claimed for them. Dr. Livingstone had made inquiry everywhere to ascer tain aether the country had ever been visited by white people before, and everywhere he was an swered in the negative. In this he was confirmed by the fact that the Portuguese dare not enter far up the Riser Shire for fear of being attacked by the natives. The Mang Anja were a brave people, and repelled an expedition the Portuguese had sent up the country before it had got thirty miles. The traders would not venture up it, because some who had tried it had been robbed by ,the native tribes, so that -the interior was not known to the Portuguese. The country everywhere appeared fer tile even on the sides of rocks and mountains. The grass grew high, and cotton was cultivated in large quantities, and the further he went the crop ap peared to be of greater importance. The women alone appeared to be well clothed with the pro duce of the country, the men appearing to be con tent with goatskins and a cloth made of the bark of trees. Every one of the natives spins and weaves cotton. Even chiefs may be seen witk a spindle and a bag, which serves for a distaff. There were two varieties of cotton he noticed grown in this country. One was a woolley kind, and the other was from imported seed, yielding a cotton that ren dered it unnecessary to furnish the people with American seed. A point in its culture worth Rotice wte.:, that the time of planting had been selected so that the plants remained in the ground during the winter, and five months after sowing they came to maturity, before the rains began- and insects came to damage the crop. The natives had no domestic animals but sheep, but large game was plentiful among the Maravi, west of the Shire. Their weapons'were bows and poisoned arrows with iron heads, and every native carried a knife. There were also some rude attempts to make a pistol. Almost every village had a forge for smelting black magnetic iron ore, and many implements were made of it, but all very rude in their form and shape. The letters further gave minute details of the domesCe life of the inhabitants, whom they described as strictly honourable in their bargains, and that if wo were to purchase land of them our right to it would be respected by all. They then referred to the ,navigation of the Mozambique river, which Dr. Livingstone contended was of the utmost importance in a commercial. point of view to this country. The letters were received with much satisfaction, and after some discussion on the nature of the country and the advantages we might derive from our commerce with it, the meeting adjourned. HORRIBLE MURDER. A murder of a most frightful character has been committed at a house situate 13, King's Head•court, Finsbury-market. The fo'llossing particulars have been ascertained in relation to the same :—At the house in question there residedin a first pair front room a man named James Moore, and a woman, believed to be his wife, with a child about two and a half years' of age. Some months since Moore was charged at the Man sion-house with assaulting a female by biting her in the hand, and for that offence was sentenced to imprisonment, but during his incarceration betrayed symptoms of insanity, and was removed to Milcs's madhouse, in Hoxton. Last Friday the room in King's Head-court was taken by Moore, and yes terday morning, about seven o'clock, Mr. Turner, the landlord, heard quarrelling and noise between his lodgers. Nothing however transpired during the day to warrant the suspicion of any particular violence having been committed, but in the after noon Moore, who had, it was believed, been out for hours, called Mr. Turner to the room, when a most horrifying sight presented itself. A woman in a perfectly nude state, excepting some slight article thrown across her loins, lay flat on her back on the boards of the room, and near her on one side placed upright in a white hand-basin was her head, while on the other side, equally as near, sat a child quite satisfied apparently with the position of itself and mother. A long wound was seen on the woman's abdomen, and a pail in one corner of the room contained a quantity of blood, with wearing apparel. The floor had apparently been washed up, "for smeared marks, and the presence of water were manifest. Moore disclaimed all know ledge of this frightful scene, protesting with appa rent truthfulness that he had made the discovery on returning home just previously. At that moment there was strong ground for denying this, as he nppeared perfectly clear of blood stains and had on a clean shirt. Mr. Turner, however, left the house with him and reached the Worship-street Police court just at the conclusion of the day's business; there he met on the threshold Mr. Rattegan, the office-keeper, to whom he mentioned the dreadful occurrence, at the same time alluding to Moore, then standing by his side perfectly composed, as his lodger. Mr. Rattegan, on hearing the relation instantly took both men within the office, and marks of blood were discernible upon the trousers of Moore. A few. minutes after this the house where the victim lay was in the possession of the . police, while Haynes, warrant officer of the G .sien, conveyed the supposed murderer t 3 the station-house i . n Old-street. Moore by trade an umbrella-maker, and has two children besides that mentioned, but 'they were away from home. Among the articles found by the police in the room was a fin box, on the lid of which was sketched a gallows with two men hanging. It 13 believed Moore escaped flora the asylum.
