Sin,—l have the satisfaction to inform you that the despatches which have been received from her Majesty's Consul at Zanzibar, Mr. Churchill, and the 'Vice Consul, Dr. Kirk, confirm officially the accounts received respecting Dr. Livingstone read before the Royal Geographical Society at their last meeting on the 9th inst., and published in the newspapers on the 10th inst. Through the kindness of Lord Stanley copies of these despatches have been transmitted to the society, and will be laid before their next meeting ou the oth of January, together with the deposi tions of the several natives who were interrogated, all of whom agreed substantially in their state ments. It further appears from the evidence ob. tained that the member of the caravan to whom the white traveller intrusted letters for the English Con sul at Zanzibar wa..; one of the attendants of Burton and Speke when they formerly travelled to this very Lake Tanganyika, up the west side of which we have now every reason to believe Livingstone is proceeding. The bearer of the letters having been detained for purposes of trade was expected at Zanzibar in the course of a month, and then our anxieties will be set at rest. In the meantime, to cheer us up respecting the fate of our great traveller, I cannot do better than quote the following phrase from Mr. Churchill's despatch :—" To all appearances this enterpris ing traveller is Dr. Livingstone and no other." Again, on his part, Dr. Kirk, after naturally weigh ing the testimony, writes—" We are therefore forced to the conclusion that in all probability we have obtained information of Dr. Livingstone." The public ought also to be informed that, ac cording to the route through the African interior pointed out in the written instructions furnished to Livingstone by the Council of the Royal Geographi cal Society, the place where the white traveller has been seen corresponds with the point which Living stone ought to have reached at the time indicated.

The Coroner's inquiry into the circumstances connected with the deatLS of William Clutton, Sarah Hodgkinson, and Minnie Julia Abbott, com menced this morning, before ➢lr. Payne, the coroner for the City of London, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. The jury having viewed the bodies previous to the opening of the inquiry, The Coroner asked whether there were any of the visiting justices of the prison present, and, on being answered in the negative, said he thought some of them ought to have attended, as they were the parties most interested. He then asked if any person attended who could give any information with respect to the construction of the prison. Inspector Potter said there was a gentleman pre sent who c•Juld speak: to that matter. The Coroner said he would take the evidence of that person first. Frederick Hythe Pownall was then called, and said—l am the county surveyor. lam well ac quainted with the construction of the House of Detention. On the side of the prison is Corpora tion-lane, a narrow street, the houses forming the northern side of the lane. It fronts towards the prison, the wall of which at that spot is about 20 feet high inside, and five feet less outside. The houses opposite are much higher than the walls ; base of the wall two bricks and a half, the middle two bricks, and the top a brick and a half. Inside the wall is the exercising yard of the prison, which is about 20ft. square. I visited the spot of the explo sion last Friday evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock, professionally. I found an opening had been blown in the wall, which was about 60 feet at the top, and considerably less at the bottom. I saw enough clearly to convince me that the wall had been blown down from the outside, as the bricks had !alien into the yard inside. It must have required very great force to produce the damage done. The skylights on the roof were altogether blown out, which must have been by the concussion. In fact, the glass was more or less damaged in a great many places. The slating of the roof was very much dis turbed, and several of the doors were sprung. The houses opposite the wall in Corporation-lane were far more damaged than the prison. The bricks which had formed the front of those houses had been blown some distance into the yard. The houses are in fact one mass of ruins; several of the walls which had been left standing had had to be pulled down since the explosion. The windows in the adjoining streets were destroyed to a very great extent, no doubt by the concussion. I should say from all I have seen the explosion must have oc curred very near the lower part of the breach, which opens about 14 or 15 feet. Coroner—ls there any person now who can speak as to the damage done to the houses ? Inspector Potter, of the G division of police, said —At two minutes before 12 o'clock on the Friday I passed down Corporation-row and Lane, and every thing at the time, including the wall and the houses, was then safe. At a few minutes before four I was at the Clerkenwell Police-station, when I heard the explosion. It is about three quarters of a mile from the prison. It was a very loud report, in fact, it shook the station. As a railway passes beneath the station I despatched men to ascertain the cause In a few minutes after I beard where the disaster had occurred, and I, in company with Superinten _ dent Gurnon, left the station in a cab for the prison On arriving at the wall in Corporation-lane I saw what the last witness has described. Opposite the wall, the front of the house No. 4, Corporation-lane, had been blown out. I saw a female amidst the ruins in an eb.hausted state. She was rescued alive, but soon afterwards the body of a female was taken from beneath the ruins quite dead. I did not know her then, but since the occurrence I have ascertained her name to be ifodgkinson. Her body was very black from burning, and her clothes were covered with mortar. The next house, at the corner of St. James's-court, leading into St. James's-buildings, had been partially blown down ; and to prevent further accident, another portion of it, which was was pulled down by direction of the Government surveyor. The body of the woman Hodgkinson was taken from the ruins of No. 4. I did not see any other bodies found. A Juror—Have you seen the fragments of a barrel ? Witness—Yes. On the following morning I found three small pieces of a barrel in Itosoman street, and a piece --half a stave—was given me by a person who found it on the roof of No. 4, which smelled very strong of paraffine and gunpowder. Coroner—Do you know enough of chemistry to state that? Winess—Yes. The pieces I found in Rosoman street smelled the same. On Sunday a whole stave was found in the ruins that also had the same de scription of smell. The fragments are now at Scot land-yard. They have been sent there for some medical gentleman to examine. A Juror—Can you give- any description of the size of the barrel? Witness—Yes. A cooper, judging from the sizo of the stave, states it to be a 3G gallou barrel. Coroner—Have you any one here who saw tho explosion ? Witness—Yes, sir. Ambrose Sutton, 343 A R, s ,id—About twelve on Friday I was at the corner of St. James's-walk, at the corner in front of the prison gate. I saw the man Allen, who is now in custody, in company with a woman named Ann Justice, who is also in cus tody. The female then left him and went into the prison, where she remained some time. She came out again, and found Allen at the same corner. They stood together for some little time, when an other man joined them—the man Desmond now in custody. All three remained in conversation for some time. Coroner—You did not see where Desmond came from ? Witness—Oh, no. After that another man came up, and only appeared to speak a word or two to them, when he Ilalked down from St. James's-walk to the corner of Short's Buildings, where I was stand ing, and he rolled against me. Ile said, as he did so, " I beg your pardon." He walked four or five yards further on, and then returned, and asked me a trifling question. I told him I could give him no information, as I was quite a stranger. Coroner—But what became of the man ? Witness—lle walked away, but I should not know him again. I afterwards received instructions from Ranger to watch Desmond and the third man. 1 watched Desmond up Rosoman-street to the co r ner of Bowling-green-lane, opposite the end of Corporation-lane. lle crossed into Corporation lane, and I then went to Bowling -green-lane, and there I saw him coming away from a truck which was standing with the handle up, and a barrel was on the pavement near the prison wall. it ap peared as if the barrel had rolled out of the truck. Desmond left there, and made his way towards to Rosoman-street. Coroner —Leaving the truck and the barrel there? Ilri tn ess—Yes ; I followed hi m i nto Short's buildings, where I lost sight of him all at once, as I was looking round to see if the women and Allen were standing where I left them, at the corner of St. James's-walk. They were alone. I turned back towards Corporation-lane to look for Des mond, and when I got half way up Rosoman street the explosion took place, and I was thrown on my back. I got up and ran back and ran into Short's-buildings leading into St. James's Walk, when I saw Justice and Allen running towards Clerkenwell-green. That would be right away from the prison. A person could come down Corpora tion-lane into Rosomou-street, and so into St. James's- walk. I, with Police -constable Ranger, ran after them. I took the woman, and 1 told Ranger to take Allen into custody for being con cerned with others in the explosion. He made no reply. Ranger was taking him to the prison when I saw Desmond running towards me up St. James's walk. I caught hold of him and told him I should take _Litz into enhiody, Paid 1 4 tl4en obtained ag sistance and conveyed both Justice and Desmond to the prison. A juror —Can you describe the barrel ? 'Witness—No, I did not take much notice of it. Police-constable George Ranger, 109 G, said-1 was on duty on Friday under the prison at 10 minutes past 12, when the prisons r Allen came to ;the gate and liked whether :my one was admitted to see Caey. The wit ness told him " No." He went away and stood opposite the prison-gate. At half-past 11 the fmnale prisoner, Justice, came to the prison-gate and asked to see Casey. The warder let her in, and asked her whether she was any relation to Casey, to which she replied " Yes, his aunt." About half-pest 12 she left. About this time my attenti an was called by Mr. Worth to Allen. At one o'clock another woman called, Burke's sister ; I w-atched her. At 10 minutes to 3 I returned to the. prison where I saw Justice standing at the corner •of St. James's walk in company with Allen. I I.nocked at the prison-gate and asked for the address given by the woman named Justice. I got it and made the re mark that it was curious these people should be hanging about. At 10 minutes past three I missed Allen from where he had been standing with Jus tice, and after that I saw Desmond talking to Jus tice. At half-past 3 I saw Allen again coming out of Strutton's yard, opposite St. James's-walk, in company with another man, who is not yet in custody. At this time Alien was talking with Justice. I told Sutton to watch the two men. At 10 minutes before 4 I was at the prison gate, when I heardlthe explosion When Allen and the other man came out of Strat ton's-yard Desmond left and joined the other man not in custody. I saw them both then go towards Rosomond-street. After the explosion I ran to Sutton and asked to where the two had gone, when I saw Allen and Justice running down St. James's walk towards Clerkenwell-green. I knocked Allen down. (Signs of applause.) The Coroner—We must have no such demonstra tions as those iu a court of justice. Examination of witness continued—l told him I should charge him. As I was looking round I saw Desmond run down St. James's-walk, and I told Sutton to follow him. He did so, and he was se cured. When we got them inside the prison Allen said, I have been sent here by Inspector Brennan. At the time the men were taken into custody both wore black hats. On the first day of the examina tion at Bow-street on Saturday I noticed Desmond wore a white " A Juror—You saw nothing of the truck ? Witness—No, nothing. John Goldsmith, 264 G, said—On Friday I was on special duty outside the house of Detention at about a quarter past three. I was standing oppo site the front entrance of the prison. I saw two men and a woman—Allen, Desmond, and Justice— talking together. Seeing they were strangers tome I watched them. They stood conversing together for about five or six minutes. Allen then left and walked up Strutton's-yard. After he had been gone about 10 minutes he returned to the corner of St. James's-walk in company with another man not yet in custody. The four conversed together for about five minutes, when Desmond and the man not in custody left the other two and walked down Short's-buildings in the direction of Corporation lane. I then watched Allen and Justice, and in about ten minutes after that I heard the explosion. I then ran to the prison and asked if it was in the inside, and on being told that it was not, I ran up St. James's-walk towards Clerkenwell-green, and after that saw Allen and Justice both secured. As we were taking them to the prison I saw Desmond running up St. James's-walk, and he was after wards apprehended. A Juror—Did you see anything of the truck. Witness—No, sir. Inspector Thompson—l was at the House of Detention on Friday about 3 o'clock. As I went in I saw Allen, Desmond, and Justice near the pri son. Burke and Casey were at that time confined in the House of Detention on a charge of treason felony. As I was le.tving the prison 1 received a communication front Sutton and Ranger. On coming out of the prison I saw Allen and Jus tice— the second man had gone away. As I left the prison I got into a cab and drove up Roso mond-street, which passes the end of Corporation lane. On arriving within 20 yards of the spot I saw the second man and another run out of Cor poration-lane. cross Rosomoud-street, and go down Bowling-green-lane. On reaching Bowling grecn-lane I looked out of the cab, but could see nothing of the two, but I saw a fourth man leave the publichouse at the corner and join a fifth. After passing Corporation-lane I looked back and saw those two persons moving away. The Coroner I The fourth and fifth men ? Witness—Yes. The cab had proceeded about 50 yards down Rosamond-street when the explo sion took place. I passed out and ran back. Coroner—Did you see anything of it ? Witness—No, sir ; but I should know two of the men I saw—viz., the second and fourth. A Juror—l heard witness say he had a know ledge of what was going on. Now, sir, don't you think something ought to have been communicated to theauthorities ? Coroner—Such was done; the Governor was in formed of the matter. Witness-1 was acting under the directions of the Commissioners of Police in everything that was done. Communications were made. John Bird said—On Friday afternoon at balf past three I observed a truck being drawn up Cor poration-lane in the direction from Bowling-green lane. It was being drawn by two men. 1 saw them turn the truck partly round, and then I saw the barrel on the pavement. It seemed to me as if it had fallen out of the truck. One of the men caught hold of it and turned one end of it to the pri son wall and the other to the houses. They took either a tarpauling or matting from the truck and covered it over the barrel. And then one man ',vent away with the truck towards Bowling green-lane, where I lost sight of it. There was a a gentleman standing on the pavement at the same time, but quite away from the people who drew the truck. He stood about five or seven yards from the barrel. He crossed the road opposite the barrel to the, houses side of the way. He then recrossed from the houses to the barrel, and looked at the head of it as if he was:searching for a name or num ber on it. He then took something from his pocket and lit it ; he then drew the tarpauling over the head of the barrel and then went away towards St. James's—buildings. Coroner—What did he do with the light ? Witness—He put it to the head of the barrel. Coroner—Was that before he drew the tarpauling over it ? Witness—Yes. Coroner—Which end did he put the light to ? IVitneas—The end next the wall. I was talking to a woman, a customer of mine, when she, seeing what was being done, said, " For God's sake, what's that man a-doing, we shall all be blown up." I told a constable of what I had seen going on about the barrel, and ho walked in the direction I have indicated very leisurely. Coroner—Should you know the man who put the light to the barrel if you saw him again? Witness—Yes. I should if I saw him in the same clothes he wore on Friday. Coroner—Have you seen the men in custody ? Witness—Yes ; but neither of them is that per son. Coroner—Did you see the man put the light to the barrel ? Witness—Yes; I was told he went twice to the barrel, but I don't know that. It was about five minutes after I saw the man put the light to the barrel that I heard the report. Mrs. Mary Jarvis—l have a great objection to my address being published further than that it is in Skinner-street. I had occasion to be in the di rection of Corporation-lane on Friday after noon, about four o'clock, where I saw a barrel near the prison wall. It was partiy covered over. As I got near it I noticed a piece of twisted paper placed in the head of the barrel nearest the houses. I also saw two men, one at the corner of St. James's-place, and the other near the barrel, I saw the man near the vv. -rel take something from his pocket and light it- lie put the light to the paper sticking out or the barrel. I then went up St. James's plOce, thinking it would not be safe to go t the barrel, as I saw the light on it. I went to tie top of St. James's-place as fast as I could, whE re the two men overtook me, and then I heard the ,explinsion. The men ran very fast in the direc tion of llosamon-street, and turned to the left. I saw TlO more of them again. A Juror—Should you know the men again ? WAness—Yes, certainly. c , )roner—Have you seen the two men in custody at Bori - -street? Witne,zs—No. At the soggestion of the Coroner the vritness was talzen to see Allen and Desmond. Elizabeth Parr—l live in Corporation-lane. In the afternoon of Friday, a little after three, I went up to the second floor window to see the prisoners out exercising in the yard of the prison. They were not out, and then I went to the street door, where Mr. Bird came up to serve me with the milk. This would be about ten minutes to four. I saw the barrel at that time lying against the wall of the prison. Four men came across from St. James's-buildings. They lifted up the cover and put a light under it. I suppose it did not light —at least so I suppose— for I went upstairs, opened the window, and on looking out I saw the same man running across the road with a light in his hand like a com mon lucifer, and set a light to something on the barrel which burnt like fireworks, and then I be came insensible. I neither heard nor saw anything of the explosion. I became, I suppose insensible through fright. I saw a second man standing at the end of the lane. That is all I know of the matter. llenry Abbott—l live at 5, Corporation-lane. The child, Minnie Julia- Abbott, is my daughter. She was seven years of age. I know nothing as to how her death was occasioned. Thomas Young--I live at 5, Corporation-lane. I saw the whole of the matter connected with the barrel. I was standing at the door at the time the deceased child was near me. She asked me what was being done. I told her I didn't know, and then 1 looked on a little longer. The barrel was opposite No. 2 house. I saw a man take a match from his pocket, strike it, and then put it to the squib, which was sticking from the barrel. It did not go off, and then a man threw him a box of lucifers, out of which he took one, and then lit the blue paper of the squib, immediately it began to work the man run away. A policeman then ran towards me, but the explosion took place, and all became confusion. I got my wife and mother out of the ruins, and then I ran back and got out the child. Coroner—How far was the policeman off the bar rel when it exploded ? Witness—Not far. Just past my place. Coroner—Did the policeman see the men run away after they had lit the Lorre], or did he run after the men or to save himself ? Witne: , s—l should say to save himself. Eliza Clutton—The deceased man is my husband. He was a brass-finisher, and 47 years of age. lle was found dead in the timber-yard, just opposite where the explosion took place. I had seen him in good health and strength but 10 minutes before. Mrs. Edith Bright—l reside at 41, Whiskin street. Sarah Ann llodgkinson is my sister. I saw nothing of the explosion. _ _ _ Mr. M‘Lean, house-surgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hospital—The three bodies lying in the dead-house all came by their deaths from one cause—bruises caused by bricks and burns by explosive matter. The ribs of the man were stove in. The woman had died from a wound under the ear, which divided the carotid artery. The child's death was occa sioned by a punctured wound near the collar bone. At this point the inquiry was adjourned until Friday morning. TATTERSALL'S-LAST EVENING. TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS.

The Russian Ambassador at Paris has been granted leave of alosonce; and it has been understood that the step is connected with the position taken by his Go vernment on tho Conference question. After having ap peared at first rather undecided, Russia has unmistakably. joined the dissidents, and the informal retirement of her representative for a time is construed to imply that there is no important business for him to transact in Paris just now. BABY-FAIIIIING IN SCOTLAND.—The very ques tionable practice of baby-farming, to which public attention has lately been directed, in consequence of disclosures made at certain recent inquests, appears to have become a regular institution in the Scottish metropolis as well as is London. In an Edinburgh paper of Monday last the fol lowing advertisements appear in the columns devoted to servants in want of situations :—" Child to bring up wanted by a respectable married woman. Home comfort able." "Child wanted to adopt by highly respectable married couple. Terms, £3O. Good home." " Child wanted to adopt by a married couple in the country. Home comfort able. State terms." " Child wanted to wet nurse or adopt by a respectable married woman. Terms moderate." Now, we cannot say that anything wrong is intended in any of these four proposals. The advertisers may all be "highly-respectable" married people, with comfortable homes, and that peculiar cranial development which, ac cording to Dr. Spurzheim and George Combo, denotes excessive love of children. But we have no guarantee on this head; and as "poor humanity" is very weak when exposed to great temptation, it would be well for the babies who are to bo dealt with in this questionable manner if some system of careful registration and supervision were devised by which the chance of perpetrating such dark deeds as aro now more than suspected could be effectually prevented.— London Scotsman. VALUE OF PROPERTY IN WESTMINSTER.—At the Guildhall, Westminster, in a compensation case yesterday , "Milos and Company v. the Metropolitan District Rail way," which occupied the day, some evidence was given as to the value of property at Westminster and the contem plated demolition of houses in King-street and Parliament st eat for further improvements. The claimants aro wholesale hosiers, &c., in the Broadway, supplying prisons and institutions by contract. Mr. Milns had been obliged to remove from Bridge-street in 1861 on account of the ap proach to Westminster-bridge, and had got his present premises at £BO a year, which the surveyor described as " absurdly low," and they put the rental at £ l .BO Similar premises were not to be obtained at Westminster and every house pulled down increased the value of busi ness property in tho locality. On one side nearly £6,000 was asked, and on the other side £9OO was put for ward as ample compensation. The ; jury awarded £l,BOO The Hon. Mr. Denman and the Hon. Mr. Thesiger were for the claimants; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Bidder for the company. THE DUCHY OF SAXE-COBURG.—The Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha has withdrawn the proposal which he had presented to the Diets of the Duchies to unite their territories under a single Government. This last resole tion has been decided on by the duke in consequence of the present moment not appearing altogether opportune for the change. SUDDEN DEATH IN THE HUNTING FIELD.—On Monday forenoon the Brighton harriers met at the fourth milestone from Brighton on the London-road. The hunters took the field in the direction of Pangdean, and during a halt near that village Mr. H. P. Tamplin, of Brighton, who was taking part in the sport, got off his horse and was conversing with one of the whips and other bystanders. Whilst criticising a horse standing near, Mr. Tamplin sud denly reeled and fell forward, dying almost immediately. The sport was at once stopped and medical aid summoned, but to no avail. Mr. Tamplin occupied a prominent posi tion amongst the residents of Brighton, and was much re spected. He served the office of high constable prior to the incorporation of the borough. ACCIDENT WITH LORD MIDDLETON'S HOUNDS. — On Friday the meet was at Heslerton, and a numerous field assembled. Mr. Robinson, of York, lost a valuable hunter. Ho was ridden by Mr. John Bower, and in fencing fell and was staked. A veterinary surgeon was among the field, who forthwith cut the horse's threat, The bunter cost £209 only a few days op. 7'HE OUTRAGE AT THE HOUSE OF DETENTION. - ~-_ _ FURTHER EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONERS. The following appeared in our latest edition of yester day : During the whole of the early part of the day th e greatest excitement prevailed in Bow-street in Con sequence of its becoming known that a further examination of the prisoners, charged with the wilful murder of the three persons whon deaths were occasioned by the explosion of gunpowder nt the wall of the House of Detention on Friday last, would take place. The entrance and the passages leading to the police court were strongly guarded by a large body of constables, each of whom was armed with a cut, lass, and a strong force, also fully armed, was sta tioned at .eil.her end of Bow -street to prevent the crowd impeding or at all interfering with the pri, soners as they were conveyed from the cells of ti je , station house to the court on the opposite sich.l of the way. At two o'clock information was forwarded to the authorities that an attempt was to be made to throw some explosive materials into the police court during the examination of the prisoners, in order that they might, during the confusion such a circumstance would create, effect their escape, and so much at tention was paid to the report that Inspector Sil verton was directed to see that all parts o! the court; were safely and sufficiently guarded. At twenty minutes past three o'clock Timothy Desmond, Jeremiah Allen, and Ann Justice, were placed in the dock. The woman Justice appeared to be suffering from severe illness, to such an ex.% tent that she was quite unable to stand. Mr. Poland attended on the part of the Croce to prosecute. Mr. Superintendent Durkin, before the exami nation commenced, handed in a medical certificate s which Sir Thomas Ilenry read. Mr. Poland—Sir, I am instructed by the solici tors of the Treasury to appear here to conduct the charge against the prisoners, but as I have only been recently instructed, and as inquiries of conp.a_ derable importance are still pending, it will be my duty to ask you for a further remand. There are witnesses who, unfortunately, are now conhned to the hospital in consequence of injuries they have received, and there are other and various rea;sons why the case should stand over. Amongst o'4:liers have here a medical certificate to the effect that the woman at the bar, Ann Justice, is exceedingly un well, and that it is desirable, in order that she may obtain medical treatment, that she should not be detained here to-day for any lengthened period, and therefore I have to ask that the prisoners be again remanded, on which occasion I shall be able to lay further and more important evidence before you. Sir T. Henry—That is a very reasonable request, and I shall at once formally remand all the pri soners. As the prisoners were being removed from the dock, Allen (addressing the magistrate) said—l beg your pardon, sir. With your permission, I should just like to put a question to these persons. Sir T. Henry—You cannot examine the other prisoners. Allen—lt's only one question I wish to put. Sir T. henry—You had better defer what you have to say until another occasion. Allen—O, very well, then, I will. The prisoners were then remanded. The following are the official lists of the sufferers in the hospitals : ST. BART HOLOME W'S. COLSTON WARD.
