Ile gave a very needful wnra another panic as to the wher3abouts of the great traveller. The doctor says in this newly-arrived letter that the work he has to do is " only to connect the sources which I have discovered from 500 to 7GO miles south of Speke's and Baker's with their Nile." Sir Roderick, of course, hoped that this attempt would be successful, and that we should soon have the explorer at home with us ; but ho pointed out as a possible, though not probable, contingency "that the waters of the Lake Tanganyika should be found not to flow northwards into the Lake Albert Nyan7a, but to be deflected to the west." In that case Dr. Livingstone would ho led on, would follow the waters to Congo; so that again there would bo no news from him for a time ; again a period of painful suspense would come. It remains with the public not to increase the pain by refusing to accept any but the worst view of the case. TO-NIGHT, In the large loom 3_ , ;(4YPTTAN HALL, Piccadilly.

A DVERTISEMENT..I - Holloway's Pills. —'l he Ready Remedy.—When winter sets in tho human constitution undergoes many trials, from some of which disease will spring, unless the blood repelled from the surface of the body finds organs capable of receiving it, and secretions adapted to consume it. This preservative power is ad mirably displayed by proper doses of Holloway's pills, which relieve the liver, kidneys, and bowels from undue congestion by immediately augmenting their secretions, and so diverting any surplus quantity of blood from a situation where its continued presence must be mishievous. With these pills, and an attentive perusal of thoir accom panying " directions," neither great judgment nor much experience is required to conduct even the delicate through the trying time of winter. All the outward and visible signs go to prove that the Government has ground for apprehending a dis turbance in Ireland. The movements of troops in all directions, show that the - Executive is aptirehen sive of a rebellion, and desirous of providing for the comfort of that very numerous class who wish to bo spared the instructive spectacle of the Government's ability to put down an outbreak. The first battalion of the L'Oth Regiment has arrived at Kingstown. It is reported that the Valorous and three gunboats aro about to be despatched to Ireland, and that the Channel squadron will be ordered to cruise oir the Irish coast.• The Himalaya is expected in a few days with further reinforcements. In some places there will be difficulty in finding room for the troops. This is especially the case at Tipperary and Kanturk. Limerick is, say some, to bo made the headquarters of a cavalry regiment. At Dundalk and other places, precautions similar to those adopted at the time of the last outbreak are being taken. LONGFORD. Notwithstanding all the exertions of the priests, and the appeal made by the Roman Catholic bishop of the district, the agitation in favour of returning Mr. Martin for Longford still goes on. Meetings have just been held both at Longford town and Edge worthstown. At the former place two thousand persons assembled, and the other meeting was like wise well attended. At Edgeworthstown, a Roman Catholic curate seized a g,reen Fenian flag that was displayed, and dragged it in the mud ; but the mob bore the affront with good humour. TILE DERRY ANNIVERSARIES. According to all accounts, we may expect come difficulty in Deny this week and next. In no part of Ireland do things look more threatening. The' Orangemen are exasperated; their leaders are preach ing semi-sedition—quiescent toleration of treason ; the Apprentice Boys are smarting under what they consider to be the injustice of the suppression of many of their public displays. The extreme Pro testants are ready to overflow in anger at any moment. Not that as yet there is much fear of last int,. disturbance ; but fhese temporary outbreaks in Ireland are not things to be overlooked. The Government—the law—prohibits party processions. Tho Orange anniversaries are ono continual public display ot partisanship. It i s s t a t e d th a t th e Apprentice Boys have determined to carry out their usual arrangements this year. The guns pro bably will be taken away ; their hand rifles and 13istols will be demanded, and unless any out break takes place they will most likely be shy in using them. But in other respects the Orangemen have made up their minds to go through their usual programme. The Time:; correspondent goes so far as to say that nothingbut armed authority will stay them. They get wilder at every suggestion of compromise, and are vowing vengeance ana wrath upon all their opponents. Whether to " vindicate the majesty of the law" and risk a conflict between the populace and the soldiery be the better course, must be a — serious question 'for a Government, several members of which are so much opposed to putting the military against the people. THE ORANGE AND FF.NIAN ALLIANCE. The Orangemen are still profuse in their expres sions of sympathy with the Fenian cause. They hate the Gladstone Government more than they hate murder, arson, and pillage ; and they accordingly aid and abet these crimes in order to annoy the obnoxious Ministry. The Monaghan Grand Lodge, with the approval of the Grand Lodge of Ireland, have pub lished resolutions thanking the Conservative electors of Tipperary for standing aloof at the recent election, "and allowing the Fenians and other opponents of the Government to scout tho Government candidate, and elect men of their choice, thereby expressing disgust at the general conduct of their rule, and the failure of their concessions to the disloyal of the land in bringing peace to Ireland." These resolutions are pretty strong, but they are, nevertheless, obviously defective. There are other deeds with which the Orangemen might express their sympathy—the Clerkenwell outrage, the murder of Scrjeant Brett, besides many more, all of which " expressed disgust at the general conduct" of British rule. But some of these things happened under the Conservative Cl overnmen• THE CONSERVATIVE iy.ADrnsurr IN THE LORDS. The latest report about the Conservative leadership in the House of Lords—(made by the London cor respondent of tho Edinburgh CGurant)—is that the Earl of Derby—the late Lord Stanley—has definitely and finally declined to accept the post. The place was urgently pressed upon him, but he was deaf to the eloquence of his party. lie said ho desired freedom from party trammels, The Conservatives are divided in their opinion of this course. They are anxious to deny that Lord Derby is not in accord with their party ; but they do not know whether to think his independent position will be an advantage to them or not. The question who is to succeed Lord Cairns is still unanswered. Three dukes aro put forward (the party has a weakness for dukes)—Marlborough, Abercorn, and Richmond. Neither of "the three graces" would be more than titular leaders; but each of them belives faithfully in Mr. Disraeli—and that is the great necessity. A LARGE ELECTORAL PROGRAMME. Mr. Labouchere has delivered another speech, in the course of which he made divers advanced pledges. He advocates the Ballot, thinks there ought to be some change in the Game Laws, is in favour of resi dential manhood suffrage, would like drunkenness to be decreased, though he cannot see that the Permis sive Bill would do any good, and holds that " something ought to be done " with the House of Peers. In a former speech Mr. Labouchere explained what this something was—the House of Commons ought to have the power of overruling the Lords by passing a bill twice, or by pronouncing in favour of any measure by a two-thirds majority. Mr. Labou chere believes that the Church in Wales ought to go, because a majority of the Welsh are Dissenters; but the case is different in England. He is not, however, squeamish on this subject. "If it were shewn to him that there was a general wish on the part of the people to do away with the Establishment ho should vote for disestablishment." Mr. Labouchero will advocate a general amnesty for the Fenians after the Land Bill is passed. mit. SAMUELSON, M.P., ON IRISH LAND. The able letter which Mr. Samuelson, M.P. for Banbury, communicated to the Daily News, has been reprinted in the form of a pamphlet. It deserves pe rusal, not only because it is the result of careful study and personal observation, but likewise from its advocating a remedy which has now gone out of favour somewhat—the legalising of the Ulster cus tom. Mr. Samuelson would acknowledge tenant-right; and he thinks that unless the landlord asked for an increase of rent, or demanded possession of the farm, the consequences of the change would never be felt by him. In either of these cases a tenant should have power to require the purchase of his interest by the landlord, and it should be valued generally on the basis of existing rent. The valuers should be bound by as few rules as possible, but they ought in every case to give some compensation for disturbance even where no interest of the tenant appeared to exist. If the arbitrators did not agree, an umpire should be chosen. THE BUDGET SCHEME. More meetings aro being held to protest against Mr. Lowe's scheme for collecting the assessed taxes in advance. At one held in Southwark a " disgust resolution" was passed. More significant still, the meeting, which consisted of tradesmen and artisans, pledged itself to vote for Colonel Beresford at the approaching election, and a committee was straight way formed to aid the Conservative cause. OFFICIAL BUSINESS HABITS. An article in the Produce Markets' Review contains some facts which shew that if there is one branch of the administration in which the spirit of circumlocu tion more especially lurks, it is the Customs' depart ment. The expenditure of time and money in this official region is outrageous. If an English shipper intends to export, for instance, a small quan tity of goods to Australia, his clerks are obliged to fill up no less than 38 forms printed at the public expense, before the goods can be put on board ship. "It will hardly be credited," we are told, " that the collective length of the papers required for a single shipment, however small, is 29 feet 21 inches, and their breadth 28 feet 2 inches." Every particular respecting the shipment is repeated in this mass of costly documents some dozens of times. Mr. Lowe and his colleagues know that round about processes are expensive. Hero is work for their economical enemies; and, if report speaks correctly, they are about to avail themselves of it. TIIE DERBY MEMORIAL. The preliminaries for a public statue to the Earl of Derby make much better progress than did those for the club memorial. Already a very fair com mittee list has been published. Of course Mr. Disraeli is a member of it, and Mr. Gathorne Hardy, Sir Stafford Northcote, and Sir John Pakington. Lord Cairns's name, how ever, does not appear. The Earl of Maims bury takes his place. Thcre only Que_daliet-rhe EASTERN TURKESTAN. At the same meeting of the Geographical Society, high eulogies were paid to Mr. George Hayward, who has been travelling in Turkestan. The task that gentleman has accomplished was a most difficult one. The land he explored is supposed to be closed to travel lers. The penalty for a foreigner found committing the crime of making astronomical observations is death. Yet Mr. Hayward has gone through Turkestan ; has surveyed largo tracts of it; has scaled its mountains, and settled the question of its latitude and longitude. What ho has discovered and done will probably lead to a great development of commerce both with Rus sia and our own country. He has disclosed how marvellously the late Alexander von Humboldt was correct in his theories when he had no means of testing the facts. The author 'of " Uonnos".has set down in his map of ContralAsialhe line of the Knott Snell Mountains, as a distinct chain of hills from the Himalayas. Mr. Hayward has shown him to be wonderfully correct. Sir Roderick Murchison, commenting upon this fact, expressed himself highly, delighted that his old friends "sagacity "—for WO hardly know what else to call it—had been proved . trustworthy. Sir Henry . Ilawlinson thanked the traveller for helping to dissipate the vague suspicions which exist in the English mind as to the advance of Russia upon Tlindoostan. _ TITE . HEAD-MASTERSIIIP OF RUGBY, In a long letter to the Times on the head-master ship of Rugby School, ono statement is made which deserves the most serious consideration on the part of the school trustees. It is stated that twenty out of the twenty-one assistant-masters have taken the extreme step of memorialising the trustees for an inquiry, with a view to the reconsideration of the appointment. The memorial has not yet been made public, but its chief allegation is understood to be that in the contest for Rugby an unusual employment was made by Mr. Hayman of testimonials received on former occasions —unusual, in that express permission for their re-employment for the Rugby contest had not been received from their authors, for that beyond a correct statement of the dates no intimation was given in respect of what contest (if any) they were originally written. Now the government of Rugby School is peculiarly " constitutional.' The Head Master does not act alone, but calls his assis tants together to have their opinion upon any change of rule, or to decide points of dehcacy. Twenty masters--men noted for their love of the school, for their loyalty to Dr. Temple—now break out into in subordination. The trustees of the school should not overlook this most important fact THE CLSDKENWELL EXPLOSI3ti. The second anniversary of the diabolical attempt to rescue Colonel Burke from the Clerkenwell lions° of Correction has been marked by a pleasing cere mony. Mr. Willcocks, the churchwarden, presided over a meeting of the Relief Committee at the Clerk enwell Vestry-hall, and congratulated them that by . the efforts of the press and the .committee £10,075 was raised and expended in giving temporary assistance to sufferers, and in making provision for those permanently injured. The Relief Committee was formed on the very night of the outrage, and the efforts of the Rev. R. Maguire, Vicar of Clerkenwell, and Mr. Paget, the vestry clerk, who acted as secretary, contributed materially to its success. As a testimony to their services, the committee at this second anniversary presented Mr. Maguire with an engrossed memorial and a silver salver, and Mr. Paget with a similar testimonial and £lOO. These testimonials were raised by special subscriptions. STARVATION. The latest East-London starvation case is a shocking. example of the failure of our poor-relief system to reach the really destitute. An inquest has been held by the Middlesex Coroner on the body of a man 02 years of age, who was admitted the other day to the Whitechapel workhouse, and died immediately afterwards. A short time before his death he asserted that ho had not tasted food for eight days. Whether this statement was exactly correct or not, the statement of the workhouse surgeon left no doubt as to the cause of death. The in testines were quite white and transparent. Thorn was not a particle of fat in the whole body. Tho blood was poor and thin, and there was very little of it. This medical man further testified that the starved wretch when alive had an " earthy smell," and he likewise informed the coroner that "when you are in the habit of coming in contact with starving people vou know the smell, and get used to it." In spite of all our charitable efforts it seems, then, that starved people are so common that the parish doctors know their special earthy smell and get used to it. AUSTRALIAN MEAT. A correspondent of the Standard declares that the Australian meat experiment, after all that has been said, is a success. The crowd of purchasers is so g reat as to spew that whatever prejudice may have existed in the minds of the poorer classes against the meat has been dissipated. "It is a new thing in England to get a good dinner for threepence, and that the dinner is both good and sufficient I have proved. by personal experience. The soup especially is. excel lent, and I have often paid one shilling for a much wo rse plateful than is supplied for one penny. The stew is both savoury, and succulent, and the n uggets' of meat wholesome if not very tasty; the whole forming an ample dinner for a hungry man." The writer, as is usual, males the suggestion that tho Government should import this meat for the benefit of the poor. If it be really good, the experi ment of using Australian meat for poor-law purposes might be worth consideration, for, of cours e , muc h larger quantities could be distributed. MARCH OF REFINEMENT IN ST. PANCRAS. It is gratifying to be able to announce that the St.l Pancras guardians are making great progress. They have held a meeting which surpassed all its predeces sors in uproar and indecency, and considering what fine performances the guardians have achieved in Lst times, this is no slight praise. On Monday the ard met to elect seven persons to serve on the Board of Management of the Central London Sick Asylum District. There are two partiest in the parish—the old guardians, who are in favour' of treating the sick properly, and the new guardians,. who are " the party of prooress," and desire to ad- - vance civilisation by killing prop sick paupers with all 5. possible speed. Between these sects a tremendous , uproar arose. Every conceivable topic was employed, as a medium for abusing the ex-officio guardians, who' had come to help the old party. Mr. Watkins, the " Reformers" leader, and a man who, accordiog to his own account, " knows wot's wet," accused the old guardians of malice, perjury, lying. They ought to be swept off the face of the earth." Another gentleman hinted at hobnobbing (we beg his pardon, 'obnobbing) with numes—a delicate and refined allusion to the indignation caused by the; arbitrary dismissal of a nurse for giving evidence . at an inquest. " Snake in the grass," " lying raga bondage," " Jacks-in-the box," may be cited as mild. specimens of the epithets employed. At one time the frenzy became so incoherent that a complete hour passed without any business whatever being done. But there is a limit to all things, even to abuse. The enemies of just treatment to sick paupers made motion after motion for the sole purpose of delaying business, until, utterly exhausted, they accepted a compromise. All this time the needy were waiting for relief. Having no occupation for their empty stomachs, they doubtless employed their minds in listening to the intellectual displays of ho;* superiors. . 10,000 PRESENTS, from 2s.
