3.IONEY NARK _EY AND CITY IVRWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. During the last few days there has been only a limited amount of business transacted in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have been at steady rates, while for coffee, rice, and fruit the transactions have been only for im mediate requirements. An extensive business has been done in saltpetre, and prices have advanced 6d. to Is. per cent. Tallow has been dull, the demand for consumption having considerably fallen on; and few speculative dealings have taken place. P.Y.C. on the spot is now quoted 605., and 60s. for spring delivery. A moderate amount of business was transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices exhibited no alteration. The sales were 8,000 bales. The Tyne has arrived from the Brazils with £3,840 in specie. Money continues plentiful, but an increased demand having been created by the arrangements for the bills which have to be liquidated to-day, the 4th of the month, the market is a shade firmer. There is very little difference between the terms current out of doors and those required at the Bank of England, It cannot be said, however, that any material alteration has taken piece in the condition of the market, although the downward tendency of the rates has received a check by the position of the American exchange, and the possi bility of gold being remitted to the United States, notwithstanding the opinion expressed by well informed correspondents in New York, that any Supplies that may have been sent will speedily return to this country. A,n improvement of 5 per cent. has taken place in the Market for Public Securities to-day, and the tendency is still very favourable, although the transactions have not been numerous. Purchases, however, have been effected partly on account of the Court of Chancery, and Consols are 938 I for money and the 6th inst., for Dee. theyare 94 to 941. The New Threes are firmer at 919 21,-; the Reduced at 9i9 2 ; the New 21 per Cents. at 78 ; India Stock has improved to 225; ditto New Loan is Steady at 1031; ditto 5 per Cent. Rupee Paper is fiat at 96! ; but Exchequer Bills remain at ss. dis. Business in the Foreign Stock Market continues very quiet, but prices are firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 72! to 73! ; ditto New, 57! to 581. Sardinian have improved to 841 ex div. ; Spanish to 50i ; Portuguese to 46 1 1; 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 remarks upon the disposal of the Hope, the report was :adopted, and a dividend of Is. per share at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum was declared. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been limited, and prices have shown rather less firmness in one or two instances. Great Northern have declined 155.; Midland, 55.; and South Eastern, 10s. ; Caledonian and Great Western have improved ss. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 10s. to 15s. The Foreign lines have remained very inactive without 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. SHARE MARKET.-(7HIS DAY.)

He gives an account of the arrival home of the Japanese steamer Candinamarrah, which accompanied the Japanese embassy to San Francisco. The commander of the steamer, accompanied by two gover nors of foreign affairs, had called on Mr. Harris, by order of the Tycoon, to express the thanks of his Majesty for the friendly and cordial welcome with which the officers and men had been received in San Francisco, and particu larly for the repair of the steamer at Mare Island navy yard. The reports of the officers of the Candinamarrah, together with the letters received from the embassy, con taining full accounts of the reception at San Francisco, had produced a lively sensation, especially among the nobles, and it was believed that the most gratifying results would follow, more especially when the embassy should reach home, and give toll accounts of all their experience in the * United States. 116 118 150 155 12i 13 I 4 P 70 72 I iPI THE SUN, LOND6N, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 4, 1860.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron and a Special Jury.) Ho/IN V. LEVER. This was an action of compensation for services rendered and money lent in forming a company called the Galway Line of Mail Packets to North America. The defendant pleaded never indebted. It appeared that the parties had entered into a verbal agreement to form the above company, and the balance sheet showed a balance in favour of the company of assets, £317,550 (value of ship, £27,700; 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. V. 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 ance 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 INTELLIGENCE ( THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-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 a poker a French woman, named Emma Mercier, living at 11, Queen-street, Gnld - Ariu are . Mr. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prosecutrix, who seemed in a weakly state 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 prisoner 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 I " 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. Waterson, 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 pre-, ceeded upstairi, 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 three places. A formidable stick wok here produced belonging 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 hi im first. The question was what was thp nature of the wound. Prisoner said the woman locked him in the room, and he wanted to leave. She 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 his 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 that 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 30s. 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 mouths for it, and his supposition turned out correct, for Mr. Beadon sent him to prison for that term with hard lab Our, the prisoner as he was leaving the deck seeming quite satisfied at the result, and expressing his intention of " doing it on his head."

MR. MASON JOIVES "ON GARIBALDI AND ITALT." Last evening, the large room of the Manchester Tree-trade Hall was filled with a crowded audience to hear Mr. Mason Jones, who has just retutned 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 I 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 arsenals in Naples bursting with supplies. They had no guns for the gunners, and no gunners for the guns. There were two regiments of cavalry in Naples, only they 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. Jones 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 Times); and remarked that no language could possibly exaggerate the horrible character of these places. The Neapolitans, he considered, were thoroughly degraded by a long course of tyranny and misgovernment. With a few exceptions, they were all rogues, liars, thieves, and cowards. The city of Naples, with the finest bay and the loveliest scenery in the world, was the filthiest den he was ever in. The inhabitants dwelt in dirt; it was necessary to their life—the breath of their nostrils. Their only 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 6to 1 agst Dundee (taken and offered) 100 to 7 agst Big Ben (offered) 20 to 1 agst KlArikoff (off -25 to 1t f) 20 to 1 agst Kettledrum 1000 to 15 agst East Stanley (offered) 1000 to 15 agst Knight of the Thistle (off) it impossible to say all he wished in one evening, and therefore he should continue his subject on that night week.—Manchester Guardian.

Last night a tea meeting was held in the large school-room of Islington Chapel, Upper•street, Islington, in aid of the fund fur erecting the Metropolitan Tabernacle at Newington, for the congregation of the Rev. C. 11. 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 ? Iu 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. Many might 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 be 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 130,000; £24,000 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 brass. It was a matter that would only occur once in his life, and he therefore felt like the man who said when he 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. [ngram, &c., and after a liberal collection the Doxo ,ogy concluded the proceedings. BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

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 case that has excited an unusual degree of interest, not only in Prussia, but through. out Germany. A director of the Berlin police, Al. 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. Schwarek, 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 filet 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 befort ; 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 released without judicial ip qu iry. 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 in 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 the case of M. Stieber, support the more general allegations are as follow :—The Pub- ljc 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 den4anding that, in the case of any arrest, the party should be brought before a Jug e d'lnstruction within the term legally , fixed. Conerences were held between the judicial and the police authorities on 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 of 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 seventh volume 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. Spring flowers are already making their appear ance. We (Chelnzsford Chronicle) have before us a little bouquet of primroses and daises, gathered in the garden of Miss Fitch, of Moulsham ; and a few days ago we saw a bunch of ♦iolets ricked in the neighbourhood. Advices from Vigo state that the Osborne had arrived there on the 27th ult. to take in coal, after a very rough passage. In the Bay of Biscay, on the 25th, the Victoria and Albert and the Osborne encountered a terrific gale with a very heavy sea. Both ships were obliged to heave to, but as the weather moderated the Victoria and Albert, with the Empress of Austria on board, kept her course for Madeira, while the Osborne, with the imperial suite, was obliged to put into Vigo. The Osborne had received a good deal of damage, but would be ready to start for Madeira on the 28th. SCENE AT THE MOUTH OF THE TYNE.—SHIELDS Monday.— Since yesterday at noon the inhabitants of this seaport and the other seaport towns cn the north-east coast have been kept in the greatest excitement by the arrival of a large fleet of light vessels off their harbours in a strong south-east gale. A fearful sea has been breaking across the bar of the Tyne since yesterday morning, and the spec tacle presented by the immense numbei of vessels rushing one after the other towards the port and dashing in upon the rolling seas on the bar has been exceedingly exciting. Above 200 sail of light vessels have reached the Tyne, and as the harbour of Shields and the docks were crowded with laden vessels before the arrival of this fleet, they are now almost filled; and in the immense concourse of shipping, the accumulation of a fortnight's foul weather, an idea may be formed of the enormous trade of the north-east ports. Of course, with such a mass of shipping crowding into the port, great confusion has prevailed in the harbour all night, and some damage has been done. This morning between 6 and 7 o'clock the Juno, of Southampton, in attempting to take the bar, was driven on the rocks at Tynemouth. The morning was too dark to allow the lifeboats to approach the vessel in the positions lie was in with safety, though two of them, fully manned, were out. The crew of the vessel, however, were rescued by means of the rocket service, under the charge of the Coastguard. Several vessels have had narrow escapes from destruction since daylight this morn ing, but by admirable seamanship they have, fortunately, all been got safe into port. The wind is still blowing hard, and the sea is breaking furiously on the coast. Incleed,we ar e experiencing very bad weather. The London, Lei th, and other steamships are' again detained in port. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE MURDER A TORRYBURN.—The tragic event took p lace in a public- T house in the village, occupied by the father of t he d eceased. M'Cann had been drinking thero during the evenmg, and having, after some time, shown signs of being considerably the worse for what he had had, more d.rink was refused him, although he asked repeatedly for it.. The,deceased, t w o h a o st w i a b s r sainttying more,by th as e fi b re s I h d s e u , g th ht en h ad " advised hadM Ceannonu notg . M'Cann then raised his gun, and, taking aim at Debbie, to which Bobbie replied, " I think you'll no do that." No said, " If you say another word, you b----, I'll shoot you 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 por tion of the intestines protruded. The unfortunate man lingered on for about three hours, and is stated to have r e p eatedly said, " M'Cann has mur dered me; you must see him apprehendFd." M'Cann, as w a s stated, was appreh ended the same ni g ht, and now Ho in Dunfermline jail,".—Calft(onto Jltrcury, THAMES, AN IMPUDENT T HlEF.—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, pctman at the Star public-house in Shore ditch. Tho prosecutor said that on the 15th of October last lie 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 cost 12s. Wm. Bartholomew, a police-constable No. 100 K, said he 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, The Prisoner.—Settle it now. Mr. Yardley.--Do you plead guilty or not guilty. Prisoner.—Guilty. I stole the boots, sir, from the poi 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. 7111 IS DAY'S MARE ETS. HAY MARKETS.

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 dqvilism. 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 c hurch with fine steeple, or listening to a lot of f ellows with white night gowns on. All these were miserable dehlusiotwn o g What was wanted was r eal conversion,. work classes in London who wan ted it most being e vwent ing men, 98 out of every 100 o fw t h h o emunnconverted to a place of worship at all, and canting humbugs. nobility, many of whom the excitement Mr. Weaver followed, and he efrreom he arose it was evi which prevailed immediinaci pr.ng p Y al object of attraction. dent that he was the . 1 a hymn to the tune of He commenced by sin n g ibal Islands," in a very loud " The King of the Can. ts.king up the chorus ; the words tone, the auditory e,,no Union."

He called upon his hearers n ot to belie ve that t he great scheme of human re contraiwa moonshine and humbug ; but, on the ry, it was able to encircle and convert the 1 greatest blackguard in London. There were many ungodly persons in that hall who wanted shaking over hell for five or six minutes. and 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. Durin g the proceedings_ several young women , wh ose feelin g s were operated upon, fainted and were carried out. Mr, Weav er afterwards sang anoth er hymn, " I've a f a ther i the promised land , " to a livel y air. Throughout evening the audience were ke p t in the highest state of excitement, and at t he close of thle_o p.u r bli_ a meeting of a quieter kind was he d t c service the neep Lion of the unconverted. DR. LIVIIVGSTON.E. The following letter has just been received by the Bishop of Oxford from Dr. Livingstone : " Senna, April 7. "My Lord Bishop.—By a letter from the Bishcp of South Africa I 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 v. ill 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 preeminently 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. There 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 doubt, rejoice to preach Christ's Gospel beyond other men's line of things. 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 anti to the victims of slavery and the slave trade.through out the world. Let the Church of Engla,Kl 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 e bff ee _:a`i' eaning machine, sugar canes of superior quality, 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 deiopulated. 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 Sechle. lam going up to the Makololo eountryto return my native friends home. " Affectionately yours, "D. LIVINGSTONE." FATAL G UNDO TVDER EXPLOSION. An alarming explosion of gunpowder took place at Norwich on Saturday evening in the shop of Mr. R. Marrison, gunsmith, Sze. Orford-place, Or ford. hill. It appears that on Sze., 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. Morrison went out to speak to Mr. Franklin, the occupier of the adjoining premises, leaving in his own shop a youth 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, &c., 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 quail 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 most severely, the shop front being bl o wn in, and the d ama g e 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 pro , party the human beings in the shattered buildings did not remain unhurt. The house in which the explosion took pla ce was discovered immediately a f terwa rds to be on fire, but the Norwi c h Fi re Brigade, und er the direction of Mr. Hitchman, the flames obtained from the promptly on the spot, an d a were subdued in hydrants chief yo odaracnsoutnspseitnai y b t l ho e e , w e of swaterterree t, being the about a quarter of an hour. As soon as this result was obtained an active search was commenced for the boy Harrison, who was missing,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. :Harrison himself, who, as before stated, was in the shop of Mr. Franklin at the time the buried with hisaccident 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 ;the ceiling of this apaitment 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 wa s removed to Norfolk_ and Norwich Hospital , wher e she remained hop u to thou h pes yesterday in a critical con dition, alg are entertained of her recovery. The poor women had her two children in the house with her, an.d one being quite an infant was in bed.
