Quarter after quarter, year after year, we find ground for confidence and satisfaction in the The quarter's revenue for the three months just ended was £17,781,925, showing an increase on the corresponding quarter of last year of £318,261. This increase was as usual mainly due to the Cus toms, which produced 2228,000 more in this June quarter than in that of 186 G. The sum total of the quarter's receipts from this profitable source was close upon five millions and a half, and their steady increase speaks well for the general prosperity of the people. In the year ending June 30 the increase is over a million and a quarter, so that in spite of the general grumbling it seems that we have been buying tea, sugar, tobacco, wine and spirits, and other articles of pleazunt luxury, at a greater rate than we have done before. The Excise last June was more than usually profitable, and the quarters im mediately succeeding were also very productive. We must bear this in mind when we find the principal decrease of the quarter coming under this head. The decrease in the quarter from the Excise is £1.16,000, but the year shows an increase of £487,000, so that there is no reason for uneasiness at the temporary diminution The Post-office is certain to be found in the " Increase" division, and it does on at a steady rate of progression w hich is almost marvellous. The quarter give us an increase of £86,000, the twelvemonth of £200,000. It may very fairly be asked by the public whether in face of this large and increasing income the Post-office might not give a little of the benefit to the public by reducing a few of their charges. The " Penny Post" leaves no room for conipttint, but there are many exceptional charges which are vexatious, and many minor points an which the administration of affairs might be improved. The time has cer tainly come when the public may in fairness ask that a portion at least of the large surplus yearly derived from the Post-office may be returned to them indirectly by the improvement of the service itself. The Stamps show an increase of £64,000, and the other items are not noticeable. The sum total of the returns is highly satisfactory, and, unless• the remainder of the financial year grievously disappoints the promise of the first quarter, we may look forward with;confidence to the production of a Budget which shall lighten still further the burdens of the people. Mr. GLADSTONE appeared to full advantage on Saturday, when he presided at the anniversary dinner of the Newspaper Press Fund. The speech which he made in proposing the chief toast of the evening was most interesting, and he fully entored into the spirit of the affair. First of all, the right hon. gentleman was able to congratulate his hearers upon the success which this institution has met with, although it is one of the youngest of our public institutions. In pursuing this theme, Mr. GLAD STONE said tha'., the interests of the public were bound up with those of the press. "We have lived into times when the newspaper is a great social, political, and moral power, one so great that it can not be overlooked by any of. those who would com prehend the character of their country, or the nature of those processes by which the movement of a mighty nation is directed." It seems to follow then, as a matter of course, that those who are in timately connected and associated with this great undertaking are deserving of encouragement, and the purpose of this institution is a laudable one, for it aims at establishing more perfect ties of goodwill and of interest in the members of this profession, and likewise to afford an opportunity to others not exactly connected with them of showing interest and to further its progress and success. It needed not Mr. GLADSTONE'S powerful reasoning to show the advantages of such a society, nor his great eloquence to advocate its cause, but still it is satis factory that he should have done so in many re spects, for there are many who, from ignorance and inattention, are unaware of the nature of these institutions, and they are more likely to be persuaded into recognising merits they have hitherto ignored if their claims are put forward by those who have high standing in society, and and great reputation in the ranks of dis tinguished men. It is meet and honourable, as the Chairman said, for the members of classes to unite together by con tributions that are given by individuals in the day of their prosperity, and which are intended to meet the wants of those who may occasionally fall into want, and thus a chance good is effected ; for not only is individual necessity relieved, but the dignity of the class is preserved, and its independence also. This feeling of independence, as the right hon. gen tleman impressively declared, is one eminently characteristic of English society : it pervades all its classes, and duty and inclination will combine to make a man feel that he must bear his own burden, and not cast it upon the shoulders of his brethren. We think that the members of the profession must be sensible of the manner in which Mr. GLADSTONE stated the requirements of the institution, and we hope that his allusion to those who have passed on from its ranks to more lucrative positions in society will not be unnoticed, as he says in many cases it is a profession of transition. " How many are there among the eminent, the most eminent men of our day and generation, who have passed one stage at least of their lives in the profession of the newspaper reporter. This is not, as the Chairman observed, a profession in which all prizes are generally to be obtained, but it is one beyond which many hope to pass. Those who have passed from it to the highest places in society, literature, and the State, cannot forget the strong ant " undeniable " chitus urged upon thou. People are very prone to overlook what is immedi ately before them, and hence it was not now neces sary for Mr. Gissns-rcilsE to remind his hearers, and through them the I üblic, that one of the marvels of our age is to reflect upon the flood of instruction and delight that flows constantly through the newspaper press. From having been the privilege of the educated class the press has now, as Mr. GLADSTONE emphatically reminded the assembly, " become the patrimony of the people." In the most candid manner did the right hon. gentleman express his sense of the special duty which he was discharging, feeling, as he said, that it was especially incumbent upon all whose lot is cast in public life to bear testimony to the debt they owed the press of their country. These also know that through the agency of the press the task of governing is greatly lightened, because the community feel that they com prehend far more than they used to do of the information which otherwise could not easily be obtained. After declaring his conviction that the moral tone of the newspaper prers had improved since it first became a power in this country, Mr. GLADSTONE concluded his speech by an eloquent appeal to his hearers to let fair play be given. " Therefore in recognising the existence of this great 'power, of this new power among 114, let us give it a hearty welcome; do not let it be grudg ingly admitted within the circle of trt institutions and ideas; let us hail it as a new benefit, which, in the progress of affairs and institutions, it has pleased Providence to confer upon mankind. Let us take every fair opportunity of showing that we sympa thise with it, and that we desire to aid it in its work, and let us acknowledge that kindly feeling with which we desire to recognise institutions such as this." This admirable address was received with every mark of genuine approbation, and it reflected honour alike on the speaker, and upon the cause whose interests he so ably advocated, and whose merits he so fully appreciated. Not the least remarkable part of the revelations before the Sheffield Commission is the manner in which the members of the Trades' Unions allowed their money affairs to be conducted. They appear in many instances to have openly countenanced a systematic falsification of the books, passing en tries which were evidently inaccurate, and allow ing the secretaries so wide a latitude that there is good reason to believe some of the BROADHEAD stamp have made a good thing out of their dignity. It is worth noticing how men can be led on step by step to tolerate the most extravagant and unjust proceedings which they would have indignantly denounced if they had been suddenly introduced to them. We know, unfortunately, that murder, arson, and 'robbery were not thought very serious breaches of propr:ety by the extreme Unionists, and it now seems that forgery is another of their accomplishments. It scans that at a meet ing of one of the Unions a question was raised about the sum of £7O which had been invested in the sav ings bank in the name of four persons, and the names of three of them were necessary to get it out. It had been taken out, and one of the persons complained that his name had been forged ! Nothing could be discovered about the money, how it had been got out, or where it had gone, and the meeting apparently receiving some intimation that it was better not to inquire too closely, passed the following resolution : —" That after a great deal of investigation we are of opinion that the £7O was drawn out of the bank for trade purposes, but at the same time we deprecate the manner in which it has been drawn out, and hope in future the committee will be very particular in the mode of doing their business." This is a tolerably mild censure for the offence, and the secretaries or managers of such concerns must have an easy time of it if they may draw out £7O in false names with impunity. If the working men like their hard-earned money to make to itself wings and fly away after this myzterious fashion all well and good ; only we think we should hear a little less about the low rate of wages and the high price of necessaries, unless indeed a Trades' Union be a necessary of life. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. long array of figures, and, unlike tco many con tinental nations, we are accustomed to the esti mates of our financial ministers being within rather than without the mark. This fortunate state of things might, indeed not unreasonably, have been expected to meet with some interrup tion this year, since the last twelve months has been one of continued depression and stagnation of trade. Everywhere there were complaints, and every one in his own private circle must have ample opportunities of realising the truth of such complaints. But wonderful to relate, the Revenue, tables give U 3 little or no indicat:,,,, of the general dulness.

Mr. GLADSTONE created some amuse ment by saying that public men were indebted to those who improved their speeches in Parliament, and also to those who criticised their cause, some times bestowing encouragement that cheered them on in the hour of need and difficulty,and at others by censuring their actions. By this means, as he said, they afforded invaluable assistance, and imparted admirable. His Highness returned about half-past eleven. The Warsaw Journal, although the official organ of the Russian Government, entertains its readers with marvellous and evidently doubtful news from Paris. Although the assassin Berezowski has not even been tried, it says that before the Emperor Alexander left Paris he made. the Emperor Napo leon promise that his life should be spared, and that his punishment should be Lard labour for life at Cayenne. More strange stil, the official Russian paper says that the French people are so enchanted with the Emperor Alexander that the feeling has produced a complete reaction in regard to Poland, and that cries are heard in Paris c,f " Down with the Poles." The indignation is so general that the Polish emigrants dare 'not show themselves any where. So much for the private carresponden.e of Russian papers. • A funeral service has been performed to-day over the remains of M.

There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at the Tuileries under the presidency of the Emperor. Her Majesty the Empress was present at the Council. The yacht of the Sultan of Turkey entered the roads at Toulon yesterday morning at 7 o'clock, and his Majesty was saluted by the artillery from the forts and the squadron. The Sultan reached Paris this afternoon by the Lyons Railway, and proceeded to the Tuileries with much the same ceremonial as was observed on the late visits of the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia. The Emperor has addressed the following letter to M. Pietri, the Minister of Police :-- " Palace of the Tuileries, June 20, 1867. " My dear Monsieur Pietri,— " The presence at Paris recently of several Sove reigns, and the assemblage of a numerous crowd attracted by the spectacle of the Universal Exhibi tion, presented the opportunity for the service under your orders of exhibiting that it was equal to the important task confided to it. I was able to notice for myself the wisdom of the measures adopted to maintain order upon every point, and I observed with pleasure the zeal and excellent appearance and discipline of your agents. lam desirous to ex press my satisfaction to you, and I beg you to be the interpreter of my feelings to your staff. Re ceive, my dear Monsieur Pietri, the assurance of my sentiments of friendship. "NAPOLEON." In consequence of a depression of opinion among the Spanish Ministers relative to the conversion of the extinguished debt of Spain, the Ministers of State and Marine offered their resignations, which were accepted, and official announcement of the fact was made to the Chambers. A letter from Weimar states that the anniversary of the birth of the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar was celebrated on the 24th of June, with the accus tomed ceremony. His Royal highness is corning to Paris in the early part of July, but will travel incognito. The Grand Duke Alexis, third sou of the Em peror of Russia, has arrived at Odessa, on his way to Sebastopol and Cadiz, from whence he will pro ceed with the Russian squadron on a voyage in the Atlantic ocean. The Empress of Russia was expected at Odessa on her way to the Crimea, where her Majesty intends to pass a portion of the summer. The Moniteur announces that the Emperor, Empress, and the Prince Imperial will arrive to morrow (Monday) afternoon at the Palace of Industry at two o'clnek precisely. On their en trance the orchestra will play the second part of the musical programme of the Ilymn to the Em peror, the new composition of Rossini. A report will then be read respecting the Exhibition by D.I. Rouher, Minister of Finance, Vice-President of the Commission. The next part of the ceremony will be the announcement of the names of the exhibitors to whom prizes ate awarded. 'f he Emperor will himself present the prizes to the suceo±sful exhibi tors from the Throne. 'Their Majesties and the Prince will then descend from the throne, and will pass before the guests from the various nations and before the different groups. The orchestra will then execute the rent:lining portion of the musio. The ceremonial is likely to be one of unprecedented grandeur and interest. Asplendid banquet was given at the Hotel de Ville on Friday evening to the Viceroy of Egypt, at which many diplomatists and fashionables were present, including the Pope's Nuncio and 500 persons who were invited to the grand concert. The arrange ments were much the same as on the occasion of the banquet to the King and Queen of the Belgians. The splendid surtout of table ornaments, manufac tured by Messrs. Christofle and Co., was again dis played. It cannot yet be spared for the Exhibition, although it is very much missed. The Baroness llaussmann, wife of the Prefect of the Seine, received the Viceroy on his arrival, and proceeded with him, arna4n-artn, to the Throne-room. The concert was The preliminary investigation relative to the attempt to murder the Emperor of Russia on the 6th of June is concluded. The Judge d'lnstruc- tion, M. de Gouet, who devoted 20 days to the examination of witnesses or the interrogation of Berezowski has drawn up his report, and the Procureur Imperial Moignon has signed the requisite legal document, according to which the prisoner is to be sent to the Chamber (the Chambre des Mises en Accusation), whose province it will be to decide whether there is sufficient prima facie evi dence to send the prisoner for trial before a jury of the Seine. The former Chamber acts as a sort of giand jury. It is thought in the courts that the Chamber will not be able to give its decision in one day, but at all events the case will be placed on the list of trials at the, court of Assize either on Saturday, the 13th, or Monday, the 15th of July. During the thunderstorm on Sunday last serious and alarming injury was done to the church of Dance, near Lyons. The lightning struck the spire at the time when the church was very full. A loud and terrible explosion was heard, and from 25 to 30 persons were more or less injured, but no one was killed. The clothes of some were much burnt. A chandelier, some vases, and various articles were broken to pieces. Several yards of woodwork were split into fragments, and large fragments were strewn about in all directions. The Host was driven from its usual place, and was found upon the altar. Portions of the spire were found is the neighbouring fields. On a mountain, near Largentiene, in the depart ment of the Ardeche, the lightning struck a shep herd, who was killed instantly, and also 200 sheep. Another shepherd was struck near the same spot, but he did not receive any material injury. The Memorial Diplomalique contains despatches from Vienna, which state that Ilaidar Effendi, Ambassador from Turkey to the Court of Austria, has notified, officially, to Baron de Beust, that the Porte accepts the principle of the inquiry claimed by the identical note of the guaranteeing powers relative to the affairs of Candia. The mode of inquiry is to be the subject of ulterior delibera tions, which will take place at Paris during the stay of the Sultan and his Minister Fuad The report is revived of the intention to dissolve the Legislative Body in the course of September. The Epoque has received accounts from Spain, according to which the number of armed bands in the vicinity of Madrid has so increased as to excite much consternation. The telegraphic and railway communications have been stopped by them, and the ;Spanish Government is in considerable anxiety on the subject. The same paper asserts that Den mark, for the same reason as France, has demanded the dismantlement of the fortress of Luxembourg and the demolition of the fortifications of Duppel. England it is said supports the demand of Denmark. The Gazette de rAllernagne du Nord publishes the text of a note from Prussia to Denmark, calling on the Danish Government to give a " precise " answer as to the question of the guarantees required by Prussia relative to Germans residing in North Schleswig, and the proportionate part cf the debt of the Duchies to be babe by Denmark. In the garden of the Exhibition, near the machine gallery by the the Ecole Militaire, there is a newly-in vented apparatus for giving motive power to rail way carriages. It is the invention of a Russian, M. Schoubersky, who calls it a mal-ovos. This motive machine is simply a railway carriage, with two large wheels on each side, which do not touch the ground. These two wheels appear to be inde- pendent of those which act upon the rail, but in fact with the aid of •a curious apparatus they are made to impart strong motive power to a train while ascending, and they can also serve as a break to decrease the velocity in descent. This model, after descending a rapid slope, turns back upon it self, and then with great ease drives a carriage up to the summit of a slope. Some persons have talked of restricted means of transport to and from the Exhibition. There are now 8,760 pullic vehicles which carry passengers or articles. Upon the average the number of per sons who daily traverse various. parts of the capital is 200,000. The average number of vehicles which daily circulate along the Boulevard des Italiens is 13,265. The average number of vehicles which cross the Pont de Yena, the principal entrance to the Exhibition, is 940 ; 12,930 traverse the Avenue des Champs Ely sees. The ancient manor and baronial estate, about 2,250 acres, of Castle Combo, near Chippenham, the pro perty of Mr. Poulett Scrope, M.P., on which is some of the most beautiful and romantic scenery in the county of Wilts, and which has been in possession of the Scrope family since the latter part of the 13th century, was on Saturday submitted to public auction, at the Mart, by Messrs. Driver and Co., of Whitehall, and, after a very spirited comp e tition, was purchased by Mr. Lowndes, of Eaton-place, for the sum of £133,000. THE GREAT Loss OF SHIPPING IN THE WHITE SEA.—The Brenda steamer, 2,200 tons register, and the Montezuma steamer, 680 tons, were specially chartered by the Lords of the- Admiralty on Saturday for the White Sea, to rescue the crows of the wrecked vessels reported to be east ashore on the coast of Lapland. The steamers were at once hauled out of Victoria Docks into the river to take in provisions, bedding, and medical comforts at the victuallin department, and were uuder orders to start on their urgent mission early this morning. A naval officer and a doctor will accompany each ship, and ample provisions are made to accommodate 500 men. PAPER BOATS.—It begins to be evident that paper has been put to but few of .the uses of which it is capable. The principal demand may continue to be for printing, writing, wrapping, and paper collars, but experi ments now in progress show that papermakers will soon find extensive uses for their product outside of these pre sent principal sources of consumption. It has already been found that paper can be used advantageously for making water-pipes and tanks, and in the construction of frost proof buildings; it is almost certain that it can be made to take the place of leather for machinery bolting, and George A. Waters, of Troy, N ew Y or k, has demon grated that. paper makes the b es t material for shell boats, by constructing one thirty feet long, which weighs only forty pounds, and is in• ev er y respect superior to boats made of wood. It i s q uite thin, lighter than a wooden boat, is rendered impervious to water by a coating of oil and other compounds, and it is asserted that it is more durable, and that it will stand shocks which would destroy a woolen shell. Other ad vantages claimed for it are that it. can be made perfectly air and Nvater tight, and requires no caulking or pitching ; it cannot be split or broken, but if a hole be made ia it by accident, the ILT:oration would be no larger than the s:ze of the ( 4 3ct Piercing it, and could be easily mended ; it will not swell or crack, awl last, but not least, the cAst is much less than a woolen ho Lt . . By next year at least W., shall expect to see - Yale and Harvard discarding their old wooden tubs and rowing the college regatta in shells made of paper, and making tts flinch better time as the paper shells are lighter and inure buoyant than the wooden ones. The day of M‘Kay and Elliot as builders of shell boats' is over ; Waters of Troy is the coming man. A plot of land, &c., situate near Lancaster-gate, Bayswater, purchased by the late lir.

Yesterday the Emperor received the members of the Monetary Coliference, who thanked his Majesty for having placed Prince Napoleon at their head. In the afternoon, at 2.30 p.m., the Emperor re ceived the Lord Mayor and some of the Aldermen of the City of London. The Lord Mayor read an address, in which he referred to the late attempted assassination, and also congratulated his Majesty on the success of the Exhibition. In reply to the ad dress, which was written in English, the Emperor thanked the Lord Mayor and the other members of the deputation in the same language for the cordial step they had taken, and the hearty sentiments they had expressed. The Grand Duchess Marie of Russia has arrived at Trouville, where she purposes passing three weeks.

A letter from Suez of the 12th says :—" The return of the pilgrims from' Mecca by way of this port is now almost entirely terminated. Between the 27th of April and the 6th of June the steamers of the Egyptian Azizich Company conveyed 6,877 of those passengers ; 890 have also arrived by land, and the great caravan of the holy Carpet, consisting of 3,500 pilgrims, and which is arriving by stages, is also ex pected. The mortality has been insignificant, notwithstanding the crowding of the vessels and the exhaustion of the travellers ; no death took place on the Azizich Company's boats during the passage from Djeddah to Suez. Sunstroke, dy sentery, and fatigue made some victims among the pilgrims of the caravan, but there is no need for astonishment at this fact when the length of the journey and the state of misery of the fatalist tra vellers, crossing torrid deserts without tents or other shelter and almost without hread and water, are taken into consideration. The pilgrims by way of sea were, •n their arrival, subjected to a quarantine of obser vation for five days at a few miles from Suez. Notwithstanding the orders which had been given for providing them with food, their number was so great and the means of transport from the town so insufficient that they were without water for two days ; tents had been sent to shelter them from the deadly rays of the sun, but in addition to the difficulty of providing room for so numerous a colony in the midst of the Desert many neglected to take the precautions rendered necessary by the cli mate of the country, to which the Circassians, Anti tolians, and Montenegrins were not accustomed. Ten of them thus lost their lives. In fine, every one admits that the mortality among the pilgrims of the caravans was much inferior to that of pre- ceding years."

INQUEST THIS DAY. This morning, Mr. William Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, held an inquiry at Horsemonger lane, Borough, respecting the suicide of Mary Eliza beth itowbotham, aged 47 years, the wife of a pro fessional vocalist well known in London. The evidence given went to show that the de ceased had for many years resided in the above-mentioned locality, but, on account of her in ten )perate habits was separated from her husband, and afterwards carried on a newspaper and stationery business, but the greater part of the profits from v.hich, as well as the money alloWed by Tier husband, she spent to procure drink. She had for some time been in a very desponding state of mind, and on the 17th inst. swallowed a quantity of oxalic acid. She was conveyed to the above gaol, where she remained until she expired from the effects of the poison. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased destroyed her own life by taking oxalic acid, being at the time in a state of unsound mind, produced by excessive drinking of ardent spirits. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE WORKS OF THE MID LAICD BAILWAT. —On Friday an inquest was held at the University College Hospital on the body of Thomas Lawton, aged 37 years, who was killed instantaneously at the Kentish Town Works of the Midland Railway, by the giving way of a crano at which ho was working. A verdict of Accidental Death was returned. " The hopes raised by the news which we pub on !he 15th of May of th: rumoured safety of Dr. Livingstone have speedily been dispelled, and there can no longer be any doubt that he was killed by a savage of the Mafito tribe. The narrative of the Sepoy belonging to the Marine Battalion (21st Native Infantry) who formed one of the doctor's escort, and who arrived from Zanzibar in the Gazelle on the 14th of May, turns out to be altogether inaccurate; and, substantially, the tale told by Moosa is proved correct. " The Nadir Shah, a vessel of war belonging to the Sultan of Zanzibar, at present used as a trader, reached Bombay on the 15th of May in cargo ; and from information we obtained on board we are en abled to give a more detailed account of the circum stances in connection with the melancholy story of the doctor's fate than bas yet been published. The Nadir Shah left Zanzibar on the forenoon of the 28th of March, so that the news she brings is nearly a month later than that brought by the Gazelle, and three days later than the last despatch received from Zanzibar by the Bombay Govern meut.. "Dr. Livingstone took his departure from Zan zibar in March, 1866, and was conveyed in her Majesty's ship Penguin to Pinganeh, at the mouth of the Rovuma river. The expedition consisted of Dr. Livingstone and 35 men, 10 of whom were natives of Johanna, one of the Comoro Islands, 13 Africans, and 12 sepoys of the Bombay Marine Battalion. It was thought by Dr. Livingtone that these Africans would be of kervice to him on his journey into the interior. The Africans were formerly slaves, who had been liberated and edu cated in the Bombay Presidency. There was no other European in the party except the doctor him self. The beasts taken were—six camels, four buffaloes, from Bombay, five asses, and two mules, and among the baggage there were forage, gunpowder, &c. The Penguin started from Zan zibar on the 19th of March, 1866, and the men in the doctor's train and the beas:s were taken from Zanzibar in a large dhow, which was towed by the Penguin. In three days the Penguin arrived off the Ruvuma river, but, owing to the strong current the dhow could not be got into the mouth of the stream. The expedition then made for Miukindany Bay, about 30 miles northward of Cape Delgoa, where Dr. Livingstone and his party were success fully landed .on the 28th of March. " The - Johanna men, who had been engaged for the doctor's service by Mr. Sundley, the English Consul at Johanna, were considered preferable for the service to Zanzibar men. On the march into the interior the Sepoys seem to have suffered much, and Dr. Livingstone thought it necessary to leave them on the rout4to enable them to return to Zanzibar. In returning they had but little to eat, and ran great risk. of starving. One by one, all the Sepoys fell ill, and the sickness that attacked the havildar was fatal, as he died of dysentery. None of the 12 Sepoys who started with the doctor reached Ny- assa, and those who survived returned to Zanzibar iii August or September. lu October last the Johanna men made their appearance in Zanzibar, and presented themselves before Dr. Seward, the British Consul, when for the first time the intelli- gence was received of the disaster which had be fallen Dr. Livingstone. From the accounts of these Johanna men it would seem that the ex pedition reached Lake Nyassa in safety and crossed the lake. They pushed on westward, and in the course of some time reached Goo many, a fishing village on a river. This would appear to have been on the second or third week in August last. The people of Goomany warned Dr. Living- stone that the Mafites, a wandering predatory tribe, were out on a plundering expedition, and that it would not be safe to continue the journey. But the dangers thus presented to view were not sufficient to deter a man who had braved so many before; and, treating the warnings as but of slight moment, he crossed the river in canoes the next morning, with his baggage and train of followers, in safety. Pre viously to this time the whole of the baggage animals had perished on the journey from the want of water ; and• on reaching the further side of the river the baggage had to be carried by the doctor's men, Being a fast walker, Dr. Livingstone kept some dis tance in advance of the baggage-encumbered men ; and Moosa only, or Moosa, and a few others of the party, kept up with him. The march had continued some distance when Dr. Livingstone saw three armed men ahead, and thereupon he called out to Moosa, " The Mafites are out, after all," or some such words as those ; and these seem to have been the last he uttered. The three Mafites were armed with bows and arrows and other weapons, and they imme diately commenced hostilities. Evidently the men must have closed on the doctor, when, finding matters desperate, he drew his revolver and shot two of his assailants, but while thus dispos ing of the two the third managed to get behind Dr. Livingstone, and with one blow from an axe clove in his head. The wound was mortal, but the assassin quickly met his own doom, for a bullet from Moosa's musket passed through his body, and the murderer fell dead beside his victim. Moosa states that the doctor died instantly, and that find ing the Mafites were out he ran back to the baggage party and told them that their master had been killed. The baggage was hastily abandoned, and the Johanna men, Moosa, and the rest of the party sought safety by a hasty flight, which, according to Moosa's story, they continued until sunset, when they reached a secure hiding-place in the jungle. They held a. consultation, and it is alleged that Moosa prevailed on them to go back and look after the body of their late master, and that on 'regaining the place where the murder had been per petrated they found Dr. Livingtone's body lying there. The doctor's watch had been carried away, together with his clothes, the only article that re mained on the body being the trousers. Moosa and the men who had accompanied him scratched' a hole in the ground just deep enough to bury the body in, and there left in a far remote and un known spot the remains of the self-denying and noble man who, all too soon for his country and for the cause of civilisation, but nos too soon for him to have earned an enduring fame, found his end at the hand of an ignoble savage. The corpses of the three Mafites were lying on the spot where they had fallen ; but no attention was paid to them by Moosa, who on searching could find no memento of his late master to bring with him to Zanzibar. In making their way to the coast great hardships were experienced by Moosa and the other survivors of the party, who were in such a starving condition that they had t o li ve upon th e b err i es they could gather by th e way until they fell in with an Arab caravan, which entertained them kindly. They were . thus enabled to reach Keelwah, in the territory of the Sultan of Zanzibar. They were here provided with clothes and necessaries and -cut on to Zanzibar, at which place they reported all the circumstances to‘Dr. Seward, by whom they were closely examined. Dr. Kirk, of Zanzibar, an old asso:liate, of Livingstone, also questioned them carefully, and found that their statement of the country through which they alleged they had passed correctly answered to the leading features of the wilds through which Dr. Livingstone had intended to track his way. "The Johanna men were taken to Johanna, and carefully interrogated by the Sultan or Rajah, as well as by Mr. Sundley, and there answers tallied with Moosa's narrative. The Johanna men asked Mr. Sundley to pay them . the nine months' wages due to them for their services with the expedition, and, as they were entitled to what they demanded, the money was paid to them. Some of the men who went away with the expedition, and who were not accounted for as having died, were still missing. " On the 26th of December Dr. Seward left Zanzibar in Ur Majesty's ship Wasp, and proceeded to Keelwah, but he was unable to obtain any fresh information or to gather additional details." * Including New Zealand Bonde, £500,000 lII.—An Account showing the Revenue and other Receipts of the Quarter ended Juno 30, 1867, the appli cation of the same, and the Charge of the Consolidated Fund for the said Quarter, together with the surplus or deficiency upon such charge : Surplus Balance beyond the charge of the Con solidated Fund, for the Quarter ended Match 31, 1867, viz. : Great Britain .

Paget, for the day, and under his direction the yachts were started at 11.50, wind about W.N.W. The Buccaneer was round first, but immediately afterwards a man fell over board from her rigging, and was immediately saved by Lord de Ros, the vice -commodore's, cutter. The Octo roon was the second. The Dione was absent. The Sa tanella and Vampire started side by side, the. Queen being absent. Just below Tilbury the Vampire and Satanella ran by the Octoroon, One on either side, and after that they kept in front of her. The Buccaneer held her lead until she got to leeward, and then the Vampire, bringing down a nice wind with her, went away from all the others, the Buccaneer heading the Octoroon. The wind had veered to the eastward, and had first fallen upon the Buccaneer, and, as the others came to it, they broke off, and the Vampire first went about.
