W EIANTESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 17, !KW. world. " The ancients," they said, " have always told us that the world has no end ; but we have been to the end of it. We went rearchicg on with our father, be lieving what the ancients told us to be true ; but all at once the world said to am firdithed— there is no inure of me.' It was all sea in front. He after wards pro ceeded to the east ward, and at length struckthe Zambe:d. That was a very large river ; in fact, the principal river in the country—all the others running into it. Its name, the Zambesi, meant "the river." He attempted to make a path by the Z4mbesi to the sea. The Zambesi was a river navigable for at least 300 miles, and that without a single rapid. In many parts it a: as broader than the Thames at Westminster-bridge. It had been supposed by some that it disappeared tinder the soil and was lost ; but any one who saw it would immediately feel that there was no such thing as losing that river. (Laughter.) It ran from the north to the south, then turned away to the eastward, and pissed through a gorge, cleft, or fissure. It was unlike any other water fall in the world, and be thought the word "trough" would convey a better idea of it than any other. It was about a thousand yards wide at the falls, and it fell over into the trough, which extended from bank to bank. The fissure was made in a hard basaltic rock ; and at the bottom, which was not so wide as the lips of the trough, the river was only about 20 yards broad, but the falls presented the most b-autiful eight he had ever seen in his life. The river afterwards passed for a con•iderable distance along the eastern ridge, going N.N. E., then E., and then S.S.E. down to the sea. He believed this saver %eould be a permanent path into that country. The country itself was extremely fertile, and the climate perfectly healthy. The Makololos lived in that part, end they knew the country well, the Zambesi being their southern line of defence, and the whole of the territory a long way to the north being subjected to them. On the ridge just mentioned he would like to see a mission sta tion placed. He should not expect immeliate fruits from the preaching of the Gospel. He bad seen so ranch that he had now learnt to be patient. Before setting down he would like to mention the labours of others. In passing to the north there was some diffi culty in travelling ; but he did not deny that those who remained at home, and might he occupied, like his father-in-law, Mr. Moffat, in translating the Gospel and labouring in their own village, had a great deal of toil, and not so much pleasure as he (Dr. Livingston) had in sleeping under the vault of heaven and enjoying the free air of the desert. (Laughter.) Mr. Moffat was the only person who saw the project of opening up the country in the north to the eastern or western coast in the same light that he did; when they parted be (Mr. Meat) said to him, " Well, I wish I Could go with you, but I must proceed here with the translation." His father-in-law went afterwards to the Maslikasie country, where tre derived great benefit to his health. Some thought that h s (Dr. Livingston'o) going into the interior of Africa was a mere tempting of Providence. But, with reference to the endeavour to evangelise the interior and the true negro family, he would have the London Mis ionary and other kindred societies act just in the same manner that he himself had done. He saw it to be his duty to go, and he was determined to perform hi. duty, whatever others might say about the matter. As to those who thought his going was a mere tempting of Providence, he could only laugh at them, and say "They are my weak brethren." (Laughter and cheers ) Sir CULLEN EARDLEY then moved, and Mr. T. GUAM BERg, M.P , seconded, the next resolution :—" That this meeting most cheerfully and respectfully presents to the Government of her Majesty the Queen, and to the Government of his Majesty the King of Portugal, its best and warmest thanks for the generous and valuable assiet ante rendered to Dr. Livingston in the prosecution of his extended exploratory travels in the interior of South Africa." The resolution was agreed to nest. dia. The CHAIRMAN here intimated the wish of Dr. Living ston briefly to address the meeting upon the subject of the extinction of the slave trade. Dr. LIVINGSTON then proceeded to say that the re marks he desired to make had been suggested to his mind by what had fallen from a preceding speaker. For a series of years the B-itish Government had spent large sums of money with the view to the re. pression,,or suppression, if possible, of the slave trade. An idea hal sprung up, or rather he suspected a " fib " had been propagated by the slave dealers, though amongst grown up people it was a somewhat difficult thing to trace a fib to its source, that our cruisers on the African coast made the " middle passage " a thousand times worse for the slaves than it other% lee would be. "Now this," exclaimed Dr. Livingston, "is all bosh." Imy self believed it once, and the reasoning was very specious. My brother, when attending a class on political economy in one of the colleges in the United States of America, heard a professor declare that the British Government would promote the slaves more by fitting up convenient ships such as the Peninsular and Oriental Company send out to India, and that it was a totally mistaken idea to suppose that the cruisers could suppress the slave trade. Well, I went to Angola with that very idea in my head; but when I got there I found the slaves have c .mpletely repressed, and the means by which it was repressed were the making the exp ,rtation of slaves much more dan- Lferous to capitalists than even gambling fnr gold. I have seen boys of about 14 years of age sold within a hundred miles of the coast for 12s. a head, whereas if there had been any demand for slaves abroad, and it had been easy to take them out of the country over sea, they would have got perhaps 201. a head for them. Now, if the slave trade had been going on, these slaves would have been taken out of the country ; but no, each was the activity of our cruisers on the coast, that it was dangerous to attempt it. The slaves are, therefore, tran- witted inte the interior and exchanged for ivory. I myself once travelled about a month in the company of three half-bred Portuguese traders, who had eight women with them, whom they were taking into the country to sell for ivory. But even when exchanged for ivory, the price is not at all equal to what might be got by exporting them, if they were only able to do that. (Rear, hear) At Angola, and throughout the whole of Eastern Africa, when you ask about this or that person's circumstances, you hear it constantly said, "Oh, he was rich at the time of the slave trade." (Hear, hear.) The fact is, that there are only three men in all Angola who have any of the riches which they got by the slave trade ; for riches so obtained seem to bring no blessing with them. (Loud cheers.) They do not stop in the family. (Renewed cheers and laughter.) In former times the Jesuits, with their usual foresight, planted fine Mocha coffee at Angola, and the coffee has propagated, it is supposed by birds, all over the country. Several planta tions of it were discovered when I was there. I saw it as far as 300 miles from the coast. Now, the merchants of Angola, finding that they cannot carry on the slave trade as they did formerly, have turned their attention to this coffee, and hence plantation s are readily formed and rapidly increasing. (Cheers ) Indeed it would al most seem as if God had provided these means of giving them riches if they would but leave the ways of sin for legitimate industry. It is thought by some that the wars among the Afrionn tribes are more cruel now than they were when the prisoners were sold as slaves. This I was assured by a slave dealer myself ; but I believe that this story is like the other about the activity of our cruisers having increased the horrors of the Middle Passage. (Hear ) Well, this slave dealer told me that the Marava, who live to the north of the Zambesi river, when they have a war kill all the prisoners ; and "is it not better," he asked, "to export them as slaves! For if we were allowed to export them we could take them away and Christianise them." (Laughter.) But I want to know who began those wars. I have a good deal of acquaint ance with the native tribes in the interior of Africa, and I find that there is never a war amongst them unless it is about cattle. Now, few people are killed in conse quence of wars about cattle. But when there was a slave trade on the coast, and a market for the sale of the prisoners, the people fought fiercely, the one tribe to capture as many prisJners as possible, the other to de fend themselves and children against being taken cap tive, because they knew the result would be to make them slaves. These wars were fomented and continued by the lave trade, and the slave dealers—not the slave euppreesicnists—must therefore take the credit of them to themselves. (Hear, hear.) On the motion of the Rev. Dr. BINNEY, seconded by the Rev. J. BURNETT, the thanks of the meeting were voted by acclamation to the Earl of Shaftesbury for his kind and valuable services in presiding on the occasion. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY briefly acknowledged the compliment, and said he had accepted the proposition to take the chair with very much diffidence, but he had yielded his judgment to those who had assured him that by so doing, though he confessed be could not see how, he would be able to effect some good. (Cheers.) Before we retire (continued the noble earl) allow me to ask your permission to express from the meet ing some mark of respect and affection to a.ladynow sitting in the ball. The wife of our distinguished friend, Dr. Livingston, is present. That lady was born with a distinguished name, which she exchanged for an ther distinguished name. She wrz born a Moffatt, and she became a Livingston. (Cheers.) That lady cheered the early part of our friend's cause, by her spirit, her counsel, and her society. Afterwards, when she reached this country, she passed many years with her children in solitude and anxiety, suffering the greatest fears for the welfare of her husband, and yet enduring all with patience, resignation, and even joy, because she had sur rendered her best feelings and sacrificed her own private enjoyments to the advancement of civilisation, and to the great interests of Christianity. I hope, therefore, you will allow me to express t) that excellent lady the deep respect and affection that we entertain for her and for her children, and that we hope the great name she bears will continue to receive to the la' est generations the gra titude and respect which her husband has earned for it. The meeting then separated. DR .11VINGSTOYS API?ICAN DISCO VERIES. The London Missionary Society gave a public recep tion yesterday at the Freernaoes'-hall to the Rev. Dr. Livingston on his return from South Africa. The hall was crowded by an influential assemblage of the clerical and lay inembe a .1 the society. The chair was t Been by the. Earl of Soafiesbury, and upon the platform wore Sir R. Murchieon, President of the Geographical So ciety ; Sir H. Rewlinson the lion, A. Kinnaird, M.P., Mr. T. Chambers, Sir C. Eardley, Barr., Rev. Dr. Vaughan, President of the Lancashire Independent College ; Rev. Dr. Binney, Rev. Dr. Burnet, &c. The meetieg having been opened by prayer by the Rev. C. Goodheart, Tne noble CHAIRMAN said that after 17 years of la bour, anxiety; and research, a great and good man had returned to his native country in health and safety, bringing with him a harvest of knowledge as the result of his indefatigable perseverance, and an accumulation , 'f facts which, under the blessing of Almighty God, might be turned to the benefit of present and future gene. rations. (Cheers.) . They were now assembled to greet that roan, and to join with him in thanksgiving to Al mighty od that he had returned, and that he had the c , 4irage to persevere in the noble course to which the providence of God had calle him. Dr. Livingston was not only a missionary, but a man of science ; and he eished that those whom he was addressing could have been present at the Geographical Society last night, when Dr. Livingston bad narrated the discoveries he ead made with such minutene-s of detail, accuracy f knowledge, and quic'iness of penetration ti at they w , nld hav e thought he had never been engaged in any other pursuit than the study of geographicalscience. He would upon this subject quote testimony of great value : "You may like to know (writes Mr. T. Maclean, As tronomer Royal) that I have received from my friend Dr. Livingston, a complete copy_ of hie Astronomical oh nervations for geogrephical positions, on the track of his late - perilous, but triumphant journey across this continent, from Loauda on the west to Quilimatte o n the east coast. . . . To this highly-gifted man geographical science is deeply indebted The number of observations is astonishing, when we consider the diffi culties he had to encounter. He observed for latitude and longitude at every interesting point, particularly at the confluence of other rivers with the Zembese, the heading., the falls, the more important villages, &c. Iu short, he has opened up, geographically speaking, that hitherto unknown section of the continent. But he has done more ; he has graphically described the character of the country and inhabitants ; and, altogether,, his col lection of facts would fill a volume of deep interest to science, to commerce, and last, not least, to humanity. Let us pray that he may be spared." ((leer.) Wit , would not join in a hearty "Amen" to this prayer ? (Cheers.) Now let him quote from a let ter of Dr. Livingston's : "I am not so elated (writes this good man) in having performed what has not, to my knowledge, been done before, in traversing the continent, because the end of the geographical feat is but the beginning of the mis sionary enterprise. May God grant me life to do some more good to this poor Africa !" (Cheers.) Here the missionary element was predomi nant. Dr. Livingston went out in the character of a minister of the Gospel, but he possessed what it were o tie wished every missionary could superadd to his other qualifications —a knowledge , 1 the science and practice of medicine. He had been sent out by the London Mis sionary Society ; and when they considered how God had bles,tel that society in the remarkable men He had raised up from its ranks—Mi ne, Medhurst, Morrison, ‘Villiatne, and now Livingston, with many others living and dead, whose names were inscribed in the. Book of Life—it was impossible not to respect and love that society, and not to feel thankfulness to Almighty God that He had put it into the hearts of men to found and cherish such an institution. (Cheers.) Dr. Livingston's discoveries could not fail to carry enlarged commerce and civilisation into the regions be had visited, and it might be hoped that .commerce would teed to make man so valuable in those central regions that the slave trade might be in time altogether extinguished. He was very much struck by an anecdote related by Dr. Livingston last night. He was once in danger from a hostile tribe of natives, and when he showed them his white skin, not the akin of his face, which he understood was at the time as black as a coal, but the skin of his arms and chest—the natives said, "Oh, we know who you are ; you belong to the tribe who love the black man." (Cheers.) That, to his mind, was a.more glorious title for this empire than to be styled " Mistress of Kingdoms," or " Queen of the Ocean," or aey ether title. that the Herald's College could invent ; and much he wished that wile , . Dr. Livingston returned he might be considered the representative of the British empire, or rather that the British empire might be con sidered his representative its expressing these feelings. Dr. Livingston bad not - achieved 'so may remarkable discoveries, and conferred so much benefit upon the na tives tribes of the interior, without exposing himself to many sufferings and dangers. "He has had (says the statement published at the Cape in October, 1856) 31 attacks of fever, and has been seven times in danger of his life from the natives of the country he has passed through. Similar privations, dif ficultiee, and dangers probably await him on his return ; but with self-sacrificing Christian heroism, and a depen dence on Divine aid, he is willing to encounter them all, and to work still in this poor trodden-down country." Well, then (Raid the noble chairman in conclusion), what better thing than to welcome such a man to the shores of our country! What better than to receive him with thanksgiving and rejoicings that he is spared to refresh us with his presence, and give us strength to future exertions ? What season more appropriate than this, when at every hearth, and in every congregation of worshippers, the name of Christ will be honoured with more than ordinary devotion ? What season, I say, more appropriate than this to receive a man whose life and labours have been in humble, hearty, and willing obedi ence to the prayer of the angels themselves from Heaven, " Glory to Ged in the highest ; on earth peace, good will towards met. ? (Loud cheers.) The Rev. Dr. VAUGHAN, President of the Lancashire College, moved the following resolution : " That this meeting presents its most cordial congratu lations to the Rev. David Livingston, LL.D., on his safe arrival in his native country after an absence of 16 years, occupied in missionary labours and travels in South Africa. It entertains the highest admiration of that Christian be nevolence, courage, and 'perseverance, by which he was animated and sustained throughout his extended and peril ous journeys in those hitherto unexplored regions; and the meeting hereby devoutly acknowledges the merciful providence of God by which Dr. Livingston was befriended and preserved amid the manifold dangers and gigantic dif ficulties of his noble enterprise, and by which his self denying and indefatigable efforts to open a channel for the introduction of Christianity, with its unnumbered bless ings, to the uuenlightened millions of South Africa, have been crowned with the happiest success." The resolution was seconded by the Hon. A. KIN. y ihe resolution he h a d t o p. pe, c ; i s e rs d o u N n s a a n i i d m t o h u a s t l propose united the sentiments of every man of scienc e WA S IR it D. R. and m with those entertained by the whole Christian world. It was as follows : "That this meeting presents to Dr. Livingston the sin cere expression of it , admiration and gratitude for the dis tiuguished advantages secured to geographical t and kindred sciences by his important discoveries in South Africa, and it cherishes the earnest hope that his disinterested l a bour s may hereafter secure to th e n a tive tribes of that vast con tinent the blessings of knowledge, civilisation, and com merce." The Geographical Society had been no idle spectators of Dr. Livingston's discoveries, and had endeavoured to honour bite, not only for the marvellous travels he had accomplished and his seientific qualifications, but also for his moral worth. (Cheers.) Col. Sir H. RAWLINSON, in seconding the resolution, reminded the meeting bow greatly indebted geographical science had ever been to the Christian world. Indeed all the great discoveries in Asia and Africa had been made by Christian missionari s. (Cheers.) The revolution was put and carried. On the CHAIRMAN calling upon Dr. Livingston to address them, The Rev. Dr. LIVINGSTON then rose to address the meeting, and was received with loud and long-continued cheers. He said the very kind expressions with which he had been greeted by the chairman and the different speakers quite oppressed him, because , while he wi s h e d to receive th e i r ex pressions with proper gratitude, be felt pretty strongly that he did not deserve them. He felt himself to be in what he believed they called a dilemma (Laughter.) His reception there pat him in mind of an anecdote of something that occurred when George the Fourth went to Scotland. Scotland had not been visit e d b e f ore b y a king for a great length of time, and when George the Fourth went there the people almost went mad about him. A father held up his child above the heads of the crowd, thinking, per haps th a t h e would never Fee a king again, and said to him, " Do you see him ? do you see him ?" " Why," replied the child, he is only a man—he is only a man, " (Laughter.) He suspected that those who had listened to the kind expressiong which had been used toward s hi mself, on see i ng h i s person. and hearing his speech, would be inclined to say, " Why , after all, be is only a man." He laboured under the dis advantage of having spoken a native African language for the last 16 y ears, During that time he did not study the English tongue, and he forgot much of its phrase ology, , .and he no w f e l t more inclined to speak the Afri canidiom than the English. They must kindly bear with him. It was very difficult to convey an accurate idea, by any language whatever, of a foreign country. In Africa he found it exc ee di ngly difficult toconvey an idea of what England was to the native inhabitants. Although ffe spoke their language pretty well, and could describe to them anything belonging to Af r i ca, it was impossible for him to describe to them intelligibly what England was or what a machine was. He would d e f y any one to convey to a native African an idea of a machine. And now those who honoured his with their presence occupied a somewhat similar position to that of the natives of Africa. They could form but a mint idea of what Africa really was, and of what missionary labour really was. There was very little of this excitement there. They (the missionaries) were called enthusiasts, lie con fessed that he was an enthusiast. But his enthusiasm required hard work to sustain it—(hear)—one bad to go through a great deal to keep up the enthusiasm. The missionary cause suffered a little from this—that much more was expected than could be given. It was ex pected that when the gospel was preached to the heathen they would listen to it, and either believe er reject it. But the fact was that those to whom the gospel was preached immediately began to judge the missionaries by their own motives. They imagined that with all this fair speaking there was something behind, some - Other end in view which would be discovered by and bye. The missionaries mist labour to do good to their bodies ; they must endeavour to promote their temporal advantage, in order thereby to acquire a good name, and convey the idea that they were really naxiono to promote their welfare; and then, and hen only, would tee Africans become attentive to the concern, of their souls. The native Africans were very slow in the emotions of their minds—they were not at all eke the South Sea Islanders. One never heard er a whole tribe of people in Africa at once embracing the gospel, as had been the case in the South Sea Islands. The habits of the two kinds of people were t 'tally different. The idea entertained by some Christians at home, that the Afrie tea would become converted all at once, had sometimes reminded hi m of an expression of the African chieftain Sicheli. When Sicheli first perceived that he was anxious that his people should believe the gospel, he said to him, "Do you realty imagine that these people will over believe toe gosp e l if I don't beat then f" (Laugh ter.) He (Dr. Livingston) replied that conversion c mid not come by means of the rod. " Well, you don't know these people," said Sieheli ; " I see you want them t o b e lieve, but th e y never will believe unless I take the satn buk and beat them." (La -ghter.) In like manner, it would ahnoit appear that many Christians in this coun try fancied that it was possible to beat belief, as it were, into the African races. As most of them, perhaps, were a ware, he remained with Sicheli for a number of years, and, when the - missionary - station wee de stroyed by an attack of the Boers ' ,while he w as go i ng north to explore th e new country, he saw plainly what would follow. For years !he minds of the people bad been distracted by fears of an attack. He saw that this attack would actually come, and therefore prepared to leave and-go north • but bet! re going he sent hi s f am il y to England. He found ' that the Boers had attacked the tribe and carried off a great number of the children ant p undered his house of everything it contained. (Hear.) " Oh;" said the rev. doctor, "I do not wish to make a pitiful wail before you ; for this relieved me entirely of all concern for w hat was behind." (Laughter.) Lord Shaftes bury mentioned the high estimation in wuich the name of the English nation wa, heldabrord. lie would here give an illustration of the estimation in which the name of her Majesty was held in Africa at tne time of which he was speaking. He met Sieben near Krooinen, and asked him where he was ging. Hs said, "I am going to Queen Vic toria." He enoeavoured to dissuade nim from setting out —telling him that he would have no one to interpret for " Well," said he, "if I do go to the Queen will she not listen t!me ?" He replied that he believed she would do so. "Teen," said be, "I'll go ;" and he went a thousand miles down to the Cape with the view of going to En; and, and was obliged to return because he could not obtain a passage. This showed the high eeti matioti in which the English Queen and the justice of the English nation were held by the natives of Africa. (Cheers.), On proc3eding to the north he went first among the people who were settled the Makololo. These Were Bechuanas. They lived in hauler times in what was called the Basuta country, and were driven to the north by the Makabeli. These people (the Makololo) opened the path, and he (Dr. Livingston) followed in their footsteps many years after. A large portion of the land in the interior was then, and was still, in their hands, including all the territory in the neighbourhood of the Zambesi. The Boers had determined that no English man should penetrate, if they could help it, northwards. because they wished all the trade to remain in their own hands ; but he, on the contrary, determined that the country in the interior should be opened. When they s out one he determined to open another, and, as it turned out, he had opened up two paths into the interior of the African continent. The airectors of the London Missionary Society said that as he knew more of the state of the country, and of what was necessary for it, than they did, they would give him a free commission to endeavour to open up a path for the spread of the gos pel. (Cheers.) He would here remark that tee directors had always treated him with the greatest kindness. Sometimes in Africa he had beard dis ant grumelings. Such things were peculiar to the English people. The English were very fond of grumbling; they were knoNx all over the world as delighting iu having a grumble. (Laughter.) Now, hoe suer others tnight!grumble agaiust the directors of the London Missionary Society, be mutt say they had always supported him according to their ability ; they were always kind to him, and he had never had a single word of difference with them during the last sixteen years. Well, as he was rental king, he proceeded to the north, and he would shortly describe what he met with. They had all heard of " Alm's burning eands." That expression was quite correct, so far as the country south of 20 degrees was concerned. _Tee south was dry, and the populetion comearatively small. But when they got beyond 20 degrees they came to a totally different country and a totally different people. 'Dee people were the true negro famity, and their country was the country from which we once derived our slaves, and iruin which the Brazilians and the Cubans stilt obtained theirs. Iu the whole of the centre of this country he found the people exceedingly civil and kind, but there was a fringe of population round about which always prevented com merce from entering into the interior. The Africans in tne interior were load of commerce. Tnis he learut from the eager manner in which they out red into his project of forming a path. His object in that project was to promote commerce and Coristianisation ; and, the natives were immediately delighted with the idea of having a path to the sea, by means of which they might trade with the white men. He did not wish it to be understood that they had any desire for the gospel. Sometimes people imagined, when they heard the natives spoken of as being willing to receive white men, that they were willing to receive Christianity. Every one of these tribes in the central portion of the country would be de lighted at the presence of a white man, regardieg it as a sort of protection to them. A missionary was in their opinion a thing that was not to be killed—(laughter).-- they were delighted to have him amongst them, but not because they wished to know the gospel—that desire came after, when they bad become acquainted with his character. A wonderful effect was produced upon those who went down with him to Loanda to see the ships of war. As they were passing through the villages en their way to the coast they were told that the white man was going to wheedle them on board the ships, and that when they came there they would be fattened and eaten. They partly believed this. He said to them, " Well, if you like to believe that, you can go back ; Lat when did you ever hear of an English man having a slave, or buying or selling one ?" "No, truly,” they said ; but still their suspicions were net entirely removed. When he took them on board the ships of war, and all the sailors gave them bread and meat and talked to them, though they could not under stated a word of what they said to cacti other—(laughter) —they were extremely delighted. Every suspicion then vanished. They afterwards treated him in the kindest manner—they almost worshipped him. If he handed them anything they would go down on their knees to receive it until he told them not to do so, and simply from seeing tee power of the English, they believed that the religion of those who were able to make such things as they had beheld must be true. On returning to the country of Sicheli he found it so well watered that it was impossible to five a waggon path. Some of the difficulties w!,ich he had to encounter were meationed by one of the gentlemen had ad dressed the meeting. These he should not enter into. He was inclined to keep all these stories until he had got into his dotage—(laughter —and when he became garrulous, he would relate them to his chi dren. (Laughter). At present he had not a single note of triumph, and he felt a sort of oppression when he thought of what was to be done. ilo knew that there was to be hard work in the future, as there had been in • the past. (Hear.) It was not by grand meetings, flue speechifying, and much excitement, that anything great was to be. done ; it was by hard working, wording in quiet, working under a sense of God's presence every where, and working without an expectation of seeing the fruits. The part of the interior of which he had last spoken was so full of rivers that he never had occasion to carry water fora single day ; whereas in the south, and when he went in search of the Lake Ngami with Mr. Oswald, they wanted water for four days, and only found it in wells. The country was well peopled, being the slave producing country. The people were remarkably free from disease, and were very prolific. About 20 years ago the small pox and the measles visited them, and a great many of them died ; but they had never come since. There was no consumption, no scro fula, no hydrophobia, and here was not much madness, though cases did sometimes occur. Many diseases which prevailed in England were quite unknown among the negro family. Notwithstanding all the wars and all the kidnapping they were still a numerous race ; and he had no doubt, from his observations, that they were as much preserved for purposes of mercy as were God's ancient people, the Jews. (Hear, hear.) He was more astonished by the estimation in which the ladies were held amongst them than by anything else in the country. They were often made chieftains. It a divorce happened is was generally the woman who divorced the man, and she took the children away with her. If a young man married a young woman residing in another village,. he was obliged to leave his own village aqd go and live with his wife and his mother-in-law—(a laugh) —whom he had to supply with wood, which was often only obtainable at a great distance. In coming down the Zambe,i river paracuiarly, he observed that this arraugement was at tended with considerable toil and trouble. If a man were asked to do a piece of a work, his reply would be, after learning how much he was to get for it--" I will go and consult my wife." (A laugh.) It she consented, the work would be done ; but it she did not, nothing would induce the husband to perform it. (Another laugh.) Feeling greatly surprised at this, he asked the Portu guese traders if they had observed the same thing, and was told that it had always been the case. When ho came down from the north with his men all his goods having been expended belore he reached the Makololo country, the people supplied all his wants without fee or reward. His Men were delighted with the journey to the Feast, saying that they had been t o t h e end o f the DINNER Ti DR. LIVINGSTON. Yesterday evening the members of the London Mis sionary Society entertained Dr. Livingston at dinner at the Milton Club, Ludgate-hill, as a token of welcome to his native country, and in recognition of his eminent public services in exploring regions of Central Afriea heretofore unknown. The chair was taken by Mr. Alderman Challis, and among the. company present, in number upwards of 100, and embracing the leading members of the Nonconformist body in the metropolis, were Mr. A. Pellatt, M.P., Mr. T. Chambers, Mr. S. Morley, Mr. Alderman Wire, the Rev, Dr. [PRICE 4D. STAMPED 51-1. Vaughan, Principal of the Lancashire Independent Cot. lege, the Reve. T. Binney, Dr. Tidwan, S. Prout, Mr. Brock, Dr. Conquest. Dr. Archer, and J. Stoughton Mr. R. Cunliffe, and NIL Bateman, Some of the mem bars of the Baptist, Wesleyan, and Scotch Missionary Societies also joined in this expression of welcome to the distinguished traveller and missionary. On the removal of the cloth, The CuaraatArr proposed "The Health of Dr. Living ston" as the toast of the evening, and in doing so eulo- gised the important services he had rendered to humanity, civili.ation, and commerce by the conrage he bad die p'ayed and the privations he had endured in traversine• the central portion of the African continent from west to east, which had never before been trodden by any European. The toast was drunk with enthusiasm, and DR. LIVINGSTON, in responding to it, gave an interest ing account of some of the principal incidents in hip travels, of the habits and customs of the people among whom he sojourned, and of the phy-ical peculiarities of the country and its productions, and in doing so neoe-• eerily repeated many of the statements made by him at the meeting of the Royal Geographical Society on the preceding evening, of which a brief summary was given in our itnpre-ision of yesterday, and again at the meeting held at the Fr eernasons'Tavern yesterd reported ab He also explained the extent to which the Bechuana mission, carried on under the auspices of the London Missi , nary Society, had been successful, and the mode in whice it might be made still more so. He expressed his gratification at the cordial welcome afforded him on his temporary return to his native country, but, with cita racterietic modesty, Mated that he was not withuut: ap prehension that their kindness might speil bim, and that, after a short stay is England, he meant again to return k to the scene of his former pursuits in the unexplored parts of Central Africa, where a' yet he had only played the part of a pioneer. He expressed his cmviction that. the regions he bad traversed would ultimately be of the highest importance to England in furnishing supplies of raw material of various useful and valuable kinds. He also adverted to the humanity of the English Govern. rnent in their endeavours to put down the African slave trade, and expressed a hope that they would now turn their attention to the development of the resources of the country. The meeting was also addressed in the course of the evening, by Mr. A. Pellatt, M.P. ; Dr. Tidman, one of the secretaries of the London Missionary Society ; Mr. Bateman, the Rev. Mr. Trestrail, the Rev. George Osborne, Dr. Archer, and other gentlemen. Additional interest was given to the festival by the ap pearance of Mrs. Livingston in the room, after the removal of the cloth. She is a daughter of the Rev. Robert M-fl4tt, who, like her husband, has long been an eminent African traveller and missionary. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE te S LUTE. Yesterday morning the Queen and Prince Albert inspected the discovery-bark Resolute, which is now lying off Cowes in the Medina water ; but be fore narrating the circumstances of the Royal visit it may not be inappropriate, as this is peculiarly the age of "antecedents," to glance at the past history of that remarkable craft, and to present in a consecutive form some facts respecting her which are not generally known, and others which, though they have already been published, are too interest ing to suffer by repetition. Her Majesty's bark Resolute formed one of Sir Edward Belcher's squadron of discovery, and in May, 1853, was sent, under the command of Capt. Kellett, R.N., to the Polar Seas in search of Sir John Franklin and for scientific purposes. She was—or, since her deliverance enables us to speak of her as of a ship restored to life, let us rather say she is—a stout square-built vessel of 500 tour. She is double decked and double planked through out, in order to withstand the pressure of ice, and she carries two brass guns—six-pounders. Her buil ders, havingregard to the comfort of her officers and crew in the Arctic Seas, fitted her with an inge nious heating apparatus, the furnace of which is in serted in the malnhold, while steampipes, running fore and aft through the body of the vessel, main tained an agreeable temperature even when the thermometer had fallen much below zero. When she left the Government dockyard she was liberally provided with everything requisite for her perilous voyage, and, both as regards structure and equip ment, was admirably adapted for the service in which she was to be engaged. Owing to her pecu liar build she is necessarily a dull sailer, but she is a very strong ship, and What the Americans call "a good safe seaboat." Notwithstanding, how ever, the care bestowed on her construction, she was not fated to fulfil the purposes for which she was designed. She was frozen in among the ice bergs in latitude 77 deg. N., and in the month of May, 1854, her officers and crew finally abandoned her, leaving their effects on board. She bad re mained in the icebergs 16 months, when a large portion of the ice in which she was embedded be coming detached from the mass by a thaw, it floated off with her, leaving her at the mercy of wind ani wave, and hurrying her out to remote seas, where, in latitude 66 deg. 30 min., and longitude 64 deg., she was found in the month of September, 1855, by the American whaler George Henry, commanded by Captain Buddington. She bad then drifted over the wilderness of waters about 1,200 miles from the spot where she was abandoned. Captain Bud dingtoll and a part of his crew approached her over the ice and took up their quarters within her. They found a " death-like silence and a dread repose," for, except themselves, there was not a living creature on board. In the words of Dr. Macown, the surgeon of the ship, who has written a pretty poem on the subject— " Her wooden walls were tenantless, No more the busy throng Cheered the lone decks through Arctic nights With music and with song. The bold and gallant crew had fled That once she gladly bore, In search of Franklin and his men From Albion's happy shore." The ship was found not to have sustained any very material damage. The ropes, indeed, were hard, and inflexible as chains; the rigging was stiff, and crackled at the touch ; the tanks in the hold had burst, the iron work was rusted, the paint was discoloured with bilge-water, and the topmast and topgallantrnast were shattered, but the hull had escaped unscathed, and the ship was not hurt in any vital part. There were three or four feet of water in the hold, but she had not sprung a leak. The cordage was coiled in neat little circles on the deck, after the fashion of English seamen, and the sails were frozen to such stiffness as to resemble sheets of tin. Several thousand pounds of gun powder were found on board, somewhat deteriorated in qiiality, yet good enough for such purposes as firing salutes. Some of the scientific instruments were injured by exposure and rust ; but others were in excellent condition. For a year and four months no human foot had trod the deck of that phantom ship, yet, amid those savage solitudes, where man there was none, and might never be, the pilot's wheel made a stern proclamation, for around it were inscribed in letters of brass the im mortal words " England expects that every man will do his duty." If for " man" had been printed the word " seal" or " whale," the sentiment might have had a mere practical significance. Capt. Bud dington remained on board till the thaw set in, and then, when the ice began to soften, he shaped his course to New London, Connecticut, where he arrived in Dec., 1855. The Resolute was removed without delay to New York, and what follows is so honourable to the American Government, and speaks so highly for their courtesy towards this country, that, though it has been often published, it may well be repeated, for it should be univer sally known throughout England. A sum of $40,000 was appropriated, with the concurrence o f the Senate and Congress, for the purpose of pur chasing the Resolute from the whalers, the En g . lish Government having waived all claim to her ; and it was determined that she should be repaired and re-fitted with the utmost care, with the de sign of restoring her to the Queen in as least as good a condition as she was at the time when the exigencies of their situation compelled het' crew to abandon her. With such completeness and at tention to detail has this work been performet. l that not only has everything been preserved, even to the bookfso.und on board library, the pictures in his cabin,otltein the captain's ' and some musical instruments belonging to British flags have been manufactured lyn navy yard, to take the r officers, but new p]ace o f i n th t ohseeßwrohtith had rotted during the long time she was without a been repainted ; her nautical instruments, are entirely now ; Bailsrnm stern to stern she has t h e and much of her rigging her r muskets, swords, teleacopes, & c ., has been t o been cleaned and put in perfect order. Nothing which she carried have overlooked or neglected that was neces sarycomplete and thorough renovation ; yet, everything that has been cleaned or re paired ha s w i t h excellent taste on th e part od those who superintended the regulations, been re satored to its original position. As regards the arrange ment of the furniture and the situation of each particular article, the Queen saw the caetain's cabin yesterday in the precise state in which. it was when the crew forsook the ship. In fact ill to h hip to express it—a floating Pompeii, and every thing comes to light just as it was left. "Captain Kellett's epaulettes are lying in a tin-box on the table.

The Queen, accompanied by Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, left Osborne at a quarter past ten o'clock, and drove to the ship in an open carriage drawn by four grey ponies. The Resolute, dressed in her colours, w as l as h ed alongside of the Royal embarkation race at Trinity wharf. The English and American flags were flying at the peak, and as soon as the Queen set her foot on the deck the Royal standard was hoisted at the main. The Retribution fired a salute, the boats' crews "tossed" their oars, and the ahip's company, standing on the rail, received Her Majesty with three rounds of cheers. Captain Rutstein received the Royal party at the gangway, and the officers, in full uniform, were grouped on either side. They were Lieut. C. H. Wells, Lieut. E. E Stone, Lieut. Hunter navidson, Dr. R. T. Macown and Dr. Otis, Acting Secretary. The following gentlemen were also present : Mr. Croskoy, Consul for the United States ; Che valier Vincent Pappalardo, Vice -Consul ; Mr. darling, Vice-Consul for the United States at Cowes ; Capt. Higgins, commander of the United States mailship, Hermann ; and Mr. C orne li us Grinnell, son of Mr. Henry Grinnell, of New York, the projector of the American Arctic expedition. All were presented to the Queen by Capt. Hart stein, who then addressed her Majesty in the fol lowing words :—" Allow me to welcome your Majesty on board the Resolute, and, in obedience to the will of my countrymen and of the President of the United States, to restore her to you, not only as an evidence of a friendly feeling to your antrereigtrty, but as a token of love s admiration, and respect to your Majesty personally." The Queen seemed touched by the manly simpli city of this frank and sailor-like address, and replied with a gracious smile, " I thank you, sir." The Royal party then went over the ship and examined her with manifest interest. Captain Hartstein traced her course on • map, mad indica:ed the most important discoveries of the American Arctic expeditions. In the course of conversation Prince Albert observed that Lady Franklin was very anxious for another expedition, to which Captain Hartstein replied that he was not surprised that she should be so, for he thought it very pos sible that Franklin or some of his comrades might still be alive among the E'quimaux After completing the inspection of the ship the Itr , yal party retired amid the enthusiastic acclama tions of the spectators. It was originally intended to request her Ma jesty to take luncheon on board. but the idea was subsequently abandoned through a diffidence as to whether the proceeding would be quite selon les regles. But after the withdrawal of the Royal party there was an elegant dejeuner in the wardroom, at which the following toasts and sentiments were given among others :—" The Queen and the Royal Family," " The President of the United States," " The Union Jack mad the Star-spangled Banner," " The Health of Mr. Cornelius Grinnell,.'?: ‘ The future success of the Resolute, and may she be again employed in prosecuting the search for Sir John Franklin and his comrades." This last sen timent was proposed by Captain Higgins, seconded by Mr. Grinnell, and evoked cordial applause. Captain Hartstein was invited by the Queen to dine and to spend the night at Osborne, and all the officers were invited to visit the grounds at Osborne, a privilege of which they availed them e elves at 3 &clock. The Resolute returns to Portsmouth this morn ing at half-past 10 o'clock, and goes into dock. . HB.LTH OF LONDON DURING TITS WEEK. (Prowl the Report of the Registrar-General,) The total number of deaths registered in the week that ended last Saturday is 1,243, and exhibits a decrease on the number for the preceding week, which was 1,318. The mean temperature, which had been 41 deg. in Nov., fell to nearly 35 deg. in the first week of this month, and rose again last week to 51.3 deg. In the ten weeks corresponding with the last week of the years 1846.55 the average number of deaths was 1,289. To aumit of comparison with the deaths of last week, which occurred in an increased population, the average should be raised by a tenth part, and in this case it becomes 1,418. A difference of 175 is thus obtained in favour of the pi esent return ; but it should be observed that the series of weeks from which the average is derived embraces a week in 1847 when the mortality was more thin•drriibled by influenza. Of the 1,243 persons whose deaths were registered last week, 666 were males, 577 were females. Of the whole number, 569 had not completed their 20th year, an d of these 241 died under one year, 177 died at the age 20-40 years, 203 in the period 40-60, 238 at 60.80 and 56 at a mere advanced age, of whom 8 • were nonagenarians. The oldest was a widow of 97 years, who was burnt by her clothes taking fire, and died at the London Hospital The deaths from diseases of the respiratory organs, which in the previous week were 368, declined last week to 287. The deaths fr,m bronchitis declined in the two weeks from 194 to 159 ; those by pneumonia from 125 to 88. In the same period phtbisis or consumption was fatal in 164 and 130 cases. In each of the last three voeks the number of children who died from hooping cough has been just 41. There were 5 deaths from small pox. This complait.t has not averaged more than 5 deaths in a .eek during the last two months ; and in the greater part of the present year there has been un usual immunity from its attacks, or at least from their fatal consequences. Last week the births of 890 boys and 821 girls, in all 1,711 chadre: , , were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1846.55 the average number was 1,461. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.219 in. The lowest, reading occurred at noon on Saturday, and was 28.73 in. ; and the highest was 29.98 in., on the even ing of the same day. The mean temperature of the week was 51.3 deg., which is 10.6 deg. above the average of the same ,eek in 38 years (as determined by Mr. Glaiiher). The mean daily temperature was above the .verage on every day. On Sunday it was 56 deg., which is 15 deg. above the average. It was nearly as much above the average on the two followingd hhe a i y g s, 6. a s: n dt d eemg o . n ., Wednesday the excess was 11.3 deg. The perature in the week occurred on Sun da y , and was 5.89 deg. ; the lowest was 416 deg., and occurred ou Satur. day. The mean dew-point temperature was 46.2 and the difference between this and the mean air tempe rature was 5.1 deg. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 47 deg. The temperature of the water cuntinued to increase almost to the end of the week. The wind blew almost invariably from the south west till Saturday afternoon, when it changed to north west. There was rain on every d ay, and the total amount, nearly half of which fell on Friday, was 0.78 i i . Squalls of wind and rain were frequent. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.
