"~ =~ [ PRICE 4D. STAMPED 6E. 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, was lashed alongside o f the Royal embarkation place 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 ship's company, standing on the rail, received Her Majesty with three rounds of cheers. Captain Hartstein received the Royal party at the gangway, and the officers, in full uniform s were grouped on either side. They were Lieut. C. H. Wells, Lieut. E. E. Stone, Lieut. Hunter Davidson, Dr. R. T. Macown and Dr. Otis, Acting Secretary. The following gentlemen were also present : Mr. Croskey, Consul for the United States ; Che valier Vincent Pappalardo, Vice-Consul ; Mr. Harling, Vice-Consul for the United States at Cowes ; Capt. Higgins, commander of the United States mailship, Hermann ; and Mr. Cornelius 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 tile 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 sovereignty, but as a token of love, 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 a map, aid indicated 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 Esquimaux. After completing the inspection of the ship the Royal party retired amid the enthusiastic acclama tions of the spectators. ' Vaughan,. Principal of the Lancashire Independent Col lege, the Revs. T. B: Tidmar, S. Front, Mr. oiney, Dr. Brock,' Dr. Conquest. Err. Archer, and J. Stoughton, It; Cantiffe, and Mr. Bateman, Some of the mem bers of the Baptist, Wesleyan, and Scotch Missionary Societips also joined in this.exp!ession of welelme to the 'distinguished traveller and missionary. On the removal of the cloth, The Csarastax proposed "The Health of Dr. Living ston" as the toast of the evening, and in doing FO eulo gised the import:int services he had rendered to humanity, civilisation, and commerce by the courage he had dig played and the privations he had endured in traversing the central portion' of the African continent from west to east, which had never before been trodden by any Europsan. The toast was drunk with enthusiasm, and Da. LIVWGSTON, in responding to it, gave an interest ing account of some of the principal incidents in his travels, :of the habits and customs of_ the people among whom he sojourned, and'of the physical peculiarities of the country and its production's, and in doing so neces sarily 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 Oren in our impression of yesterday, and again at the meeting held at the Ft eemasons' Tavern yesterday, reported above. He also .explained the extent to which the Bechuana mission, carried on under the auspices of the London Missionary Society, had been successful, and the mode in which it might be made still more so. He expressed his gratification at the cordial weloome afforded him on his temporary return to his native country, but, with cha racteristic modesty, stated that he was not without ap prehension that their kindness might spoil him, and that., after a short stay in England, he meant again to return to the scene of his former pursuits in the unexplored parts of Central Africa, where as yet he had only played the part of a pioneer. He expressed his conviction that the regions he had 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 ment 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 a'ldressed in the course of the evening, by Mr. A. Pellatt, M.P. ; Dr. Tidnian, 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 Moffatt, who, like her husband, has long been an eminent African traveller and missionary. It was originally intended to request her Ma jesty to take luncheon on board, but the idea was subsequently abandoned througli a diffidence as to whether the proceeding would ba quite scion les regles. Btit 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 and the Star-spangled Banner," " The Health of Mr. Cornelius Grinnell," " The future success of the Resolute, and may she ba again employed in prosecuting t'ie search for Sir John Franklin and his comrades." This last sen timent was proposed by Captain Higgins, seconded by Mr. Grinnell, and evoked c3rdial applause. Captain Hartstein was invited by the Queen to dine and to spend the night at Osborne, and all the o ffi cers were invited to visit it the grounds at „ . HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE RESOLUTE. 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 tow s 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 mainhold, while stoampipes, 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 had 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 and 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 had then drifted over the wilderness of waters about 1,200 miles from the spot where she was abandoned. Captain Bud clington 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 Chaered 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 topgallantmast 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 quality, 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, whore 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 of the Senate and Congress, for the purpose of pur chasing the Resolute from the whalers, the Eng_ 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 e sign of restoring her to the Queen in as le as good a condition as she was at the time wh en t h e exigencies of their situation compelled her crew to abandon her. With such completeness and at tention to detail has this work beenperformed that not only has everything found on board been preserved, even to the books in the captain's library, the pictures in his cabin, and some musical B in r s i t t r i u sh m fl en ag ts s h b a e v l o e n b g e i e n n g m t a o nu o f t a h e e t r ur:d in thebßutronoekw oessers, lyn navy yard, to take the place had rotted during the long timewas without a living soul on board. From she stem to stern she has been repainted ; her sails and much of her rigging are entirely new ; the muskets swords, telescopes, - nautical instruments, &c., which she carr i e d have been cleaned and put i n o rder. Nothing has been ov er l oo k e d or neglected that was neces sary to her complete and thorough renovation ; yet, everything that has been cleaned or re paired has with excellent taste on the part of those who superintended the regulations, been restored to its original position. As regards the arrange ment of the furniture and the situation of each particular article, the Queen saw the captain's cabin yesterday in the precise state in which it was when the crew forsook the ship. In fact the ship is—so 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. Lieutenant Pin's musical-box occupies its old place on the top of a " what-not."

(Prom 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 846-55 the average number of deaths was 1,289. To admit 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 soles of weeks from which the average is derived embraces a week in 1847 when the mortality was more than doubled by influenza.

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 from 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 eases. In each of the last three weeks the number of children who died from hooping• c p o o u x. gh has ' been just 41. There were 5 deaths from small pox. This has not averaged more than 5 deaths in a week during the last two mouths ; 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 children, were registered in Lowlen. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 184G•55 the average number was 1,4G1. 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 week in 38 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). Tfr. mean daily temperature was above the average 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 following days, and on Wednesday the excess was 11.3 deg.

LIVINGSTON'S AFRICAN DISCOVERIES. The London Missionary Society gave a public recep tion yesterday at the FreeMasons'-nall to the Rev. Dr. Livingston on his return from South Africa. The hail was crowded by influential assemblage of the clerical • rind lay memo: is ,1 the society. The chair was t tken ny the Earl of Suafteshury, and upon the platform were fir R. Mtirchison, President of the Geographical So eiety ; Sir H. Rewlinson, the Hon, A. Kinneird, M.P., 'air. T. Chambers, M.P., Sir C. Eardley, Barn, Rev. • Dr. Vaughan, President of the Lencashire Independent College ; Rev. Dr. Binney, Rev. Dr. Burnet, &c. The meeting having been opened by prayer by the ' Rev. C. Goodheart, The noble CHAIRMAN said that after 17 years of la hour, anxiety, and research, a great and good man had returned to hie native country in health and safety, winging 'with him a harvest of knowledge as the result 4 his indefatigable perseverance, and an accumulation rt facts which, under the blessing of Almighty God, might be turned to thO benefit of present and future gem. ratione. (Cheers.j , They were now assembled to greet hat man, And .to join with him in thanksgiving to Al nighty God that he bad returhed, and that he had the aiurago to persevere in the noble course to which the erevidenne of God bad called him. Dr. Livingston was riot only a missionary, but a man of science ; and he eishedithat those when) he was addressing could have Teen present at the Geitgrephical Society last night, .vheu Dr. Livingston had- narrated the discoveries he lad made with such minuteness of detail, accuracy ~ f. knowledge, and qUie . itila . ,Qfsuera,tion tlat they would :ere thought he had never been entia;ed..in :any other ourstiit than the study of geographicalscience. Hu would .ipon this subject quote testimony of great value : "You may like to know (writes Mr:T. Maclean, As renewer Royal) that I have received from my friend Dr. Livingston, a complete copy of his Astronomical ob ,erVations for geographical positions, on the track of ene lets perilous, but triumphant journey across :hih continent, from Loande. on the west to Quilimane , nithe'ealt coast. . . . To this highly-gifted man ! geographical science is deeply indebted. The number of inservations is astonishing, when we consider the cliff'. eultiee'he had to encounter. lie observed ,for latitude end longitude at every interesting point, particularly at the confluence of other rivers with the Zambese, the ;endings, the falls, the more important villages, &c. In hod,: lee has opened up, geographically speaking, that, eitherto unknown section of the continent. But he has •one more ; he has graphically described the character of the country and inhabitants ; and, altogether, his col jection of facts would fill a volume of deep interest to deuce, to commerce, and last, not least, to humanity. Let us pray that he may be spared." (dear.) Who would not join in a hearty "Amen" to this prayer? (Ciieers.) Now let him quote from a let rer of Dr. Livingston's : , "I am not so elated (writes this good man) in having performed what has not, to my knowledge, been done , efore, in traversine the continent, because the end of 'hie geographical feat is but the beginning of the mis sionary enterprise. May God grant me life to do some tiore_good.to this poor Africa !" (Oliver'.) Here the missionary element was predemi eant. Dr. Livingston went out, in the character of a minister of the GoSpel, but he possessed what it were to ee wished every missionary could superadd to his other eualifications--a knowledge of the science and practice ,f medicine. He had been sent out by the London Mis sionary Society ; and when they considered bow God ead blesse I that society in the remarkable men Ho had raised up from its ranks—Mine, Medhurst, Morrison, Williams, and now Livingston, with matey others living and dead, whose names were inscribed in the Book of nife e --it .was Impossible not to respect and love that elciety, and not to feel thankfulness to Almighty 1 - .3-.od . thht He 'had pet it into the hearts of men to :nund and cherish such an institution. (Cheers.) Dr. Livingston's discoveries could not fail to carry enlarged commerce and civilisation into the regions be bad visited, and it might be hoped that commerce ,eould.tend to make man so valuable in those central regions that the slave trade might be in tines altogether extineuiehed. He was very muc h s t ruc k b y an an ecd o t e related by Dr. Livingston last night. He was once in danger from a hostile tribe of natives, and when he ,bowed them his white skin, not the skin of his face, which he understood was at the time as black as a coal, bet the - skin of his arms and chest—the natives said, " On, we know who you are ; you belong to the tribe who love the black man." (Cheers.) That, to his mind, vas a more glorious title fr,r this empire than to he styled " Mistress of Kingdoms," or " Queen of the Ocean," or a ny ether title that the Herald's College could invent ; and- much he wished that when Dr. Livingston returned lie plight be considered the representative of the British empire, or raillei. Mali the British empire might be coo eider ed his representative be expressing these feelings. Dr. Livingston had not achieved 'so may remarkable discoveries, and conferred so much benefit upon the na tives tribes of the interior, without exposing himself to many'.offerings and dangers. " lie has had (says the statement published at the C,. pc in- October, 1856) 31 attacks of fever, and has been even times in danger of his life from the natives of the cenntry 'he has passed through; Similar privations, dif ecultie,., 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 (said 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 thankegivin'g 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 Crud in the highest ; on earth peace, good will towards men ? "(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 is his native country after an absence of 1G years, occupied in missionary labours and travels in South Africa. It entertains the highest admiration of that Christian be nevolence, courage, and persev erance , b y w hi c h h e 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 unenlightened millions of South Africa, have been crowned with the happiest success." The resolution was seconded by the Hon. A. Km. NAIRD, SirR and passed unanimously. R. MURCHISON said that the resolution he had to propose united the sentiments of every man of science with thoie 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 die tinguished advantages secured to geographical and kindred sciences by his important discoveries in South Africa, and it cherishes the earnest hope that his disinterested labours may hereafter secure to the relive tribes of that vast con tinent the blessings of knowledge, civilisation, and cam merce." The Geographical Society had been no idle spectators of Dr. Livingston's discoveries, and had endeavoured to honour bins, not only fur the marvellous travels he had accomplished and his scientific quali6cations, but also for his moni worth. (Cheers.) - Col, Sir H. RAWLINBON, in seconding the resolution,. reminded the meeting how 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 resolution 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 be had been greeted by the chairman and the different speakers, quite oppressed him, because, while ho wished to receive their expressions with proper gratitude, he felt pretty strongly that ho did not deserve them. He felt himself to be in what he believed they called a dilemma (Laughter.) His reception there put him in mind of an anecdote of something that occurred when George the Fourth went to Scotland. Scotland bad not neon visited before by 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 that he would never see a king again, and said to him, " Do you see him ? do you see him ?" " Why," replied the child, lie is only a man—he is only a man." tLaughter.) He suspected that those who had Listened to the kind expressions which had been used t iwards himself, on seeing. his person, and hearing his speech, would be inclined to say, " Why, after all, he is only a m an. " He laboured under the dis advantage of having spo k en a native African language for the laQt 16 years. During that time he did not study the English tongue, and he forgot much of its phrase• ology, and he now felt more inclined to speak the Afri can idiom than the English. They must kindly bear with him. It was very difficult to convey an accurate idea, by any language whatever of a for e i gn country. In Africa he found it exceedingly difficult to convey an idea of what England was to the nati ve i n h a bi tants. Although he spoke their language pretty well, and could describe to them anything belonging to Africa, it was impossible for him to describe to them intelligibly what England was or what a machine was. He would defy any one to convey to a native African an idea of a machine. And now those who honoured him with their presence occupied a somewhat similar position to that of the natives of Africa. They could form but a faint 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. Ile con fessed that he was an enthusiast. But his enthusia sm required hard work to sustain it—(hear)---one had 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 or 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, sa -no other end in view which would be discovered by and bye. The missionaries must 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 an dons to promote their welfare ; and then, and then only, would tee Africans beceme attentive to the concerns of their souls. Tile native Africans were very slow in the emotions of their minds—they were not at all like the South Sea Islanders. One never heard o a whole tribe of people in Africa at once embreeing the gospel, as had been the case in the South Sea Islands. The habits of the two kinds of people were, t ttally different. The idea entertained by sonic Christians at home, that the Africans would become converted all at once, had emustimes reminded hicu of an expression of the African chieftain Sicheli. When Sicheli first perceivel that he was anxious that his people should believe the gospel, he said to him, "Do you really imagine that these people will ever believe the gospel if I don't beat them ?" (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 Sicheli ; " I see you want them to be lieve, but they never will believe unless I take the mum, buk and beat them." (Laughter.) In like manner, it would almost appear that rnanyClarietietes 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 aware, he remained with Sicheli for a number of years, and, when the missionary station wee de stroyed by aa attack of the Boers, while he was going north to explore the sic'w country, he saw plainly shat would follow. For years the minds of the people had been distracted by fears of an attack. He saw that this attack would actually come, and therefore prepared to leave and go north ; but before going ho sent his family to England. He found that the Boers had attacked the tribe and carried off a great number of the children and Vundered 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 what was behind." (Laughter.) Lord Shaftes bury mentioned the high estimation in which the name of the English nation vva iaeldabrozd. lie would here give an illustration of the estimation in which the name of her Majesty was held in Africa at the time of which he was speaking. He met Sicheli near Krootnen, and asked him where he was g,:ing. He said, "I aria going to Queen Vic toria." He taleeavoured t dissuade him from setting out —telling him that he would have no one to interpret for him. " 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. "Tsen," said he, "I'll go ;" and he wont a thousand miles down to the Cape with the view of going to England, and was obliged to return because he could not obtain a passage. This showed the high esti mation in which the English Queen and the justice of the English nation were held by the natives of Africa. (Cheers.) On proceeding to the north he went first among the people who were celled the lalakololo. Teem) were Beehuanas. They lived in former times in what was called the Basuta country, and were driven to the north by the Miskabeli. These people (the Mak,,1410) opened she path, and he (Dr. Livingston) followed in their footsteps many years after. A large Fortiou of the land in the interior was then, and was still, in their bands, including all the territory in the neighbourhood of the Zambesi. The Boers had determined that ne 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 is the interior should be opened. When they shut 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 directors 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. (Cheere.) He would here remark that the directors had always treated him with the greatest kindness. Sometimes in Africa he had heard dis ant grurablings. Such things were peculiar to the English people. The English were very fond of grumbling ; they were knotin all over the world as delighting iu having a grumble. (Laughter.) Now, how e u'er others might grumble again: t the directors of the London Missionary Society, he must nay they had always supported him aec,rding to their ability ; they were always Kind to him, and he tied never haul a single word of difference with them daring the last sixteen years. Well, as he was remarking, he proceeded to the north, and he-Would shortlyeduscribe what he met with. They had all heard of "Afric's burning sands." That expre,sion was quite correct, so far as the country south of 20 degrees was concerned. Tee south was dry, and the population comparatively small. But when they got beyond 20 degrees they came to a totally different country and a totally different people. The people were the tree negro family, and-their country was the country from which we once derived our slaves, and iroin which the - Brazilians and the Cubans still obtained theirs. la the whole of the centre of this country lie found the people exceedingly civil and kind, but there was a fringe of population round about which always prevented com merce from entering leto the interior. The Africans in the interior were iond of commerce. This he learnt from the eager manner in which they cut red into his pie ject of forming a path. His object in that project was to promote commerce and Curistianisation ; and the natives were immediately delighted with the idea or having a path to the sea, by means of which they ruig'at 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 Caristiabity. Every one of these tribes in the central portion of the country would be de lighted at the presence of a white mho, 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 nut because they wished to know the gospel—that desire came after, when they :63 , 1 become acquainted with his character. A wonderful effect was produced upon those who went down with him to Luanda to see the ships of war. As ithey were passing through the villages on their way to the coast they were told that the white man was going to wheedle them on board the ship=, and t bat when they'catne there they would be fattened and eateec. They partly believed this. He said to them, " Well, if you like to believe that, you can go back ; Inc 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 not entirely removed. When he took them on board the ships of war, and all tie e sailors gave them bread and meat and talked to them,. though they could not under stand a word of what they said to each 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 w ould go down on their knees to receive it until he told them not to do so, and simply from seeing tae power of the English, they believed that the religion of those evLes were able to make such things as they had beheld must be true. On returning to the country of Sicheli Ise found it so well watered that it was impossible to have a waggon path. Some of the difficulties which he had to encounter re mentioned by one of the gentlemen wh, had ad dressed the meeting. These he should nut enter into. He wag inclihed to keep all these stories until he had got into hits dotage—(laughter—and when he became garrulous, he would relate them to his chil 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. He knew that there was to be bard 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 wasto be done ; it was by hard working, working 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 feu of rivers that he never had occasion to carry water for a single day ; whereas in the south, and when he went in search of the Lake Ngatni with Mr. Oswald, they wanted water for four days, and only fuuad it in wells. The country was well peopled, being the slave producing country. The people were remarkably free from disease, nod 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 coins since. There was no consumption, no scro fula, no hydrophobia, and here was not much madness, though cases did somertitnes ocean Manydiseases which prevailed in England were quite unknown among the negro family. Notwithstanding all the wars and ail the kidnapping they wee° 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 uhe estimation in which the ladles were held amongst them than by anything else in the country. They were often made chieftains. It a divorce happened is was generally thse woman who divorced the math and she took the children away with her. If a young man married a yo ang woman residing in another %Wage, he was obliged to have his own village and 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 don the Zambe s i river particalarly, he observed that this arrangement was at tended with consideeable toil and trouble. If a man were consult my wife." (A. laugh.)

(Another laugh.) Feeling greatly surmised 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 be came down from the north with his men all his goods allhehirdewartchnetsd wthiteholVivatkfeoeloolor country, the been epetepoepnlecied before supplied . reward. His men were delighted with the journey to the coact, saying that they bad been to the end of the world. as that end of i lieving i one tli more ol eeededi That vi in the the Z make " The ancients," they said, " have always told the world has no end ; but we iniveibeed.to the, t.

It had been suppotd by some that it disappeared underthe soil and was 1 : t ; but any one who saw it would immediately feel tliat there wiis no such thing as losing that river. (Laughter.) It ran from the north to the south, then 1 turne away to the eastward, and passed through a gorge cleft, or fissure. It was unlike any other water. fall in; the world, and be thought the word "trough' Vfout about into The I convey a better idea of it than any other.

The river afterwards passed for a considerable di:4w and t vroult ce along the eastern ridge, going N.N.E., then E., ten S.S.E. down to the sea. He believed this river be a permanent path into that country. The country itself was extremely fertile, and the climate perfebtly healthy. The Makoicilds lived in that part, and iiiey 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 immediate fruits from the preaching of the Gospel. He had seen so much that ho had now learnt to he patient. Before setting down he would like to mention the labours of others. In passing to the north there was some diffi cult) , in travelling ; but he did not deny that those who remained at home, and might be cccupied, like his father-in-law, Mr. Moffat, in translating the Gospel and labouring in theirown 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 he (Mr. Moffat) 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 he derived great benefit to his health. Some thought that la's (Dr. Livingston's) 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 sionary 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 his duty, whatever others might say about the matter. As to those who thought his going was a mere tempting of Providence, he could only lauj,h at them, and say "They are my weak brethren." (Laughter and cheers.) Sir CULLEN EARDLEY then moved, and Mr. T. CHAM BERS, M.P., seconded, the next resolution :—" That this meeting moat cheerfully and respectfully presents to the Government of her Majesty the Queen, and to the Government of his Majesty the King of Portugal, its hest and warmest thanks for the generous and valuable assist ance rendered to Dr. Livingston in the prosecution of his extended exploratory travels in the interior of South Africa." The resolution was agreed to non. dis. 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 Lis mind by what had fallen from a preceding speaker. For a series of years the British Government had spent large Burns of money with the view to the re pression, or suppression, if possib'e, of tke slave trade. An idea had sprung up, or rather he suspected a " fib " had beea propagated by the slave dealers, though amongst grown sip people it was a sornewhat 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 others ice would be. "Now this," exclaimed Dr. Livingston, "is all bosh." I my self believed it once, and the reasoning was very specious. My brother, when attending a clase on political economy in one of the colleges in the United States of America, heard a profssor declare that the British Government would promote the slaves more by tittiug 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 completely repressed, and the means by which it was repressed were the making the exportation of slaves much more dan gerous to capitalists than even gambling for gold. I have seen boys of about 14 years of age sold within a hunered miles of the coast for 12s. a head, whereas if there had been any demand for slaves abroad, and it had been east) , to tape 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, such was the activity of our cruisers on the coast, that it was dangerous to attempt it. The slaves are, therefore, tran-mitted into the interior and exchanged for ivury. 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. (Hear, hear.) At Angola, and throughout the whole of Eastern Africa, when you ask about this or that person's circumstances, on hear it constantly said, "Ob, 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 thew. (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 plantations 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 Atria in 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 these 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. Bat 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 prisoners 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 suppressicnists—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 bow, 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 lady now of T h o a u t r la d d r y s t n wa g s u i n s n h r e n d f s wr i i t i e t t i hn n da g , dp i i n srt.i n t L h g e ihviis b nhg a e l sd l t . ohna, T mi h se e ,pwr n w hs in i c f n e ht she exchanged for an ther distinguished name. S he was born a Moffatt, and she became a Livingston. (Cheers.) That lady cheered the early part of our xriend'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. DINNER TO 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 -1 recognition of his eminent public services iu exploring regions of Central Africa 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. Chamber:4, M.P., Mr. S. Morley, Mr, Alderman Wire, the Rev, Dr. ;r4 J
