Shortly after Johnson's death his debates were collected and arranged as a supplement to the edition of his works then recently issued by the London booksellers. They were published in 1787 by Stockdale, i n Piccadill with a preface by 'Chalm ers, the author o f "Caledonia." Mr. Wright has pointed out the imperfec tions of this work, which does not contain several of his best compositions, including the debate on Mr. Sandy's motion for the removal of Sir R. Walpole, on the 13th Feb., 1741. Mr. Wright's researches were unfortunately unknown to the editor of Johnson's works, published by Pickering, and Talboys and Wheeler, in 18 . 15, the .10th and 11th volume of which are reprints of Stockdale's edition of the debates. We strongly support the wish expressed by Sylvanus Urban, that the debates may be included in the collecti on ` of J o h nson ' s wor k s , now editing by Mr. P eter "uninghem, in the series of the British classics. A meeting of the iron and coal masters of the Wolverhampton district was held at the Swan Hotel, in that town, on Wednesday afternoon, the purpose being to consider the propriety of reducing the wages of the thin coal and stonemen in that part of the country 3d. per day. A lengthened discussion took place, but no decision was come to, it being resolved to postpone any definite reduction on the subject for a fortnight. It is very likely, however, that the reduction as proposed will be car ried out, although the high price of provisions makes the trade reluctant to adopt a proceeding of that character, especially at this period of the year. But the scale of wages is so thoroughly disproportionate to the price oepig-iron, that it is scarcely possible for the contemplated reduction to be any longer postponed, having in view, too, the measare of a like character which is about to take place in Wales, as referred to under this head last week. At pre sent the contemplated reduction is confined to the district specified, so that the thick coal men in the Oldbury and Stourbridge district will not be af fected by it. The demand for pig iron is said to exhibit increased animation, and mine pigs are quoted at 4/. per ton, but the instances are excep tional, and for a very superior make where that price is obtained, the average being about 3/. 15s. per ton, which, considering the labour scale, and the price of material, is too low to be remunerative. As regards manufactured iron there has been no change this week ' • some of the works continue to be better off for orders than they were a few weeks since ; but, notwithstanding this improvement, the trade is fiat. It is true that there is a fair demand for finished iron genefally for home use, and that the shipping orders are upon the whole good ; but a stimulant is wanted to impart to it as muck ani- ' mation as is desirable. The only prospect of ob taining this at prevent is by reducing prices to the extent of 1/. per ton. This would, no doubt, be followed by large orders from the United States. The high price here has very much checked the American trade for the last eight or nine months ; or not only does it enable the ironmasters there to compete successfully with the trade in this coun try, but it is leading to the extension o f wor k s i n that quarter, which must ultimately have a very serious effect upon the trade here. A reduction of prices will go far to put a stop to this. A declara tion of this nature at the next meeting of the trade would be followed by orders from the States sufficient to secure a greater amount of animation than has prevailed for some time, and prevent prices taking so wide a range as they have done during the last four months. It is pretty generally admitted that 8/. per ton for bars is the best price for all parties ; the manufacturing trades ge nerally do better with a moderate price of that kind, wheieas high prices have a tendency to check various branches, and ironmasters themselves do not in the long run benefit by temporary high prices, such as have occasionally prevailed during the last few years, but which have invariably been succeeded by more than a corresponding amount of depression. The preliminary meeting of the ironmasters will take place on the 24th instant at Wolverhampton. A strong feeling exists as to the desirability o f a re d uc ti on t o th e extent of 1/. per ton ; seve ra l o f th e fi rs t- c l ass ma k ers ar e said to be full o f orders, and consequently opposed to any al teration. In these circumstances, any opinion as to what th e i r resolve is likely to be, must mere specul a ti on. In Scotch pigs there has not been any activity for some t• firm.

These, of course, vary with t h e dif ferent trades ; but the aver age reduction u p on ittheis tawsohaigdh as advances is per i s abo c u e t n n ; for g as t u bi ng ; et the former rate is about the mark. On the part of the factors there is much complaint of the amount of inconvenience and labour which fluctuations of this kind entail upon them. With respect to the future of the cop per trade, the most reliable authorities out of the smelters circle incline to the opinion that there will be no further advance in the price at present —one purpose, that of checking speculation, haying teen A man named Herbel was on Saturday brought before the Court of Assizes of the Seine, on a charge of making use of seditious expressions against the Emperor, and was condemned to a month's imprisonment, 2dof. fine, and the costs. A pretty girl, 17 years of age, named Cherel, was on Saturday tried by the Tribunal of Correc tional Police for robbery, and her mother and five other females were tried f or rece i v i ng h er b ooty. The circumstances were rather singular : —The girl was in the service of a dressmaker named Deliot, and one day she was sent on an errand, with orders to be back in an hour and a half ; but she did not return for three hours, and then she arrived in a cab, with a bottle of wine under each arm, and quite intoxicated ; she then pulled out a portemon naie filled with gold, and stating that she had found it, said that she would give each of her fellow workers lf. But the mistress, snatching it from her, remarked that lf. was not enough, and she gave a piece of 20f. to each of the females, and kept one for herself ; afar which she returned the purse, then containing 280 f. to the girl, and the latter took it to her mother, who received it without scruple, and with its contents paid debts, and made purchases. It subsequently turned out that the girl, instead of going on the errand on which the mistress had sent her, had gone to the lodgings of a Polish gentleman, named Imaglowski, who had requested her to visit him, and after stop ping with him some time, stole the purse, a pocket handkerchief, and two bracelets. The girl, in her defence, said that the Pole had given her the porte monnaie ; her mother, mistress, and the other ac cused alleged that they had really believed that she had found the money, and that they did not know that it was considered a robbery to appropriate money found. The Tribunal condemned the girl to a year's imprisonment ; her mother and mistress to four months', and each of the others to one month of the same punishment. A young and pretty woman, named Levesque, wife of a shirtmaker, was on Saturday tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police for adultery, with a captain in the army, who is now in Algeria. It appeared from the evidence that the captain, after paying her some attention, and after writing verses in her honour, succeeded in seducing her, and carried on an adulterous connexion with her for some time. The husband, learning after awhile his dishonour, made repeated attempts to catch the guilty couple in flagrante delicto, but in vain. At length the captain got tired of the woman, and de termined to break off with her ; but she having conceived a passion for him could not bear the idea of separation, and in spite of his prohibitions went constantly to his lodgings. The Ecaptain or- dered that she should be refused admission, but she waited for him in the street, followed him to cafes and restaurants, and slipped into his lodgings behind soldiers or other persons who visited him. He at last became so exasperated that one thy he literally kicked her out of doors, but in spite of all his brutality and humiliations the woman con tinued to cling to him. Finding that he had no other means of escaping from her, he got permis sion to exchange into a regiment serving in Algeria. The woman denied the truth of the charges against her, but the tribunal sentenced her to three months' imprisonment. Count LAVRADIO, who asked permission to address the meeting in the French language, expressed the pleasure be shculd have in discharging the agreeable duty im posed on him. Dr. Livingsto❑ had braved the greatest dangers and had exposed himself to the greatest priva tions in the endeavour to render services to science, and to spread the blessings of religion, morality, and civilisa tion in a country hitherto unknown and unvisited by Euroiseans. (Cheers.) The SECRETARY then read extracts from three letters written to the society by Dr. Livingston from different points in his travels—the first dated from Linyanti, on the river Chobe, in the interior, describing the country to the north ; the second from the Zambesi river, and the third from Quillirnane, in the Indian Ocean. The course taken by Dr. Livingston was traced by red lines upon large maps which hung upon the wants. Starting from the wes'ern coast of Africa, the red line follows the River Coanza in an east-rly direction until it reaches the river Kasye, which runs from south to north until it reaches Lake Diloto, a considerable expanse of water in the centre of the continent. Another river, the Lea,rnbye, continues the great chain of water comtnunicafion towards the south until within a short distance of Lake Ngami, when the river makes a sudden turn to the east and tumbles over the falls of Lakal, the most picturesque scene in Africa. Tae river afterwards makes a sudden bend, and flows in a northerly direction. It afterwards runs east again, and takes the name of Zambesi, passing through the towns of Tete and Sena, until it empties itself into the Mozunbique Channel at the town of Quil limane, and in the adjacent Delta. _ PORT'S MOUTH, DEC. 15. Last evening the acting Port Admiral (Commodore Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8.) received ac intimation from Osborne that her Majesty would inspect the Resolute on Tuesday, if she could be conveniently moved to C ,, wes Harbour for the purpose. Sir Thomas immediately communicated with the United States' Vice• Consul at this port, and M. Pappalaido forthwith telegraphed the intelligence to the American Minieer. Fortunately Captain Harstein, of the Resolute, happened to be at the Minister's table at the time the telegraphic despatch arrived, and he consequently returned to Portsmouth by 11 o'clock this morning, when he proceeded immediately to the dockyard to have an interview with Sir Thomas Maitland, who had a steamer ready to take him out to the Resolute, which soon afterwards was towed down to Cowes harb our , w h ere s h e rema ins awaiting the Queen s visit. Dr. LIVINGSTONE, being called upon by the president, said that south of the 20th degree of south latitude the country was arid and contained very few rivers, but to the north of that line the country was well watered, and very unlike what the centre of Africa was popularly re presented to be. The country which he had traversed, indeed, was covered with a network of waters, many of which were large and deep, and never dried up. The natives belonged to the true negro family, having a good deal of very woolly hair, and being darker than the Be chuanas. They held their women in high estimation, and many of them became chiefs. If a man were asked to go anywhere or to agree to any arrangement he said, " I must go home and ask my wife." If she said " No," there was no pos s ibilit y o f getting him to move. Women sat in their councils, and while a Bechuana swore by his father, these negroes swore by their mother. Dr. Living ston related several amusing instances to show the high estimation in which these tribes held their women. He believed they deserved it, and he and his men had always been kindly treated by the "fair" sex. The country in most parts abounded with elephants, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, and other game, and he had shot three new an telopes not yet known in England. He had found it unnecessary to burden himself with provisions in tra vallinff, for the an i ma l s di d not seem to k now a gun , an d would stand within bow-shot of his weapon. In the inte rior the people were kind to him, but be could not say they improved as he apr reached the confines of civilisation. The English name had penetrated a long way into the interior, and the English were known as " the tribe that likes the black man." Domestic slavery existed, but the exportation of slaves was very effectually re pressed. Ngami was not a deep lake, but was what was left of a large lake which existed before the fissure was made near the Lakai falls, which allowed a free course to the Zambesi. The PRESIDENT asked what articles of commerce not hitherto known to British merchants were likely to be opened up to the British trader Dr. LIVINGSTON said the new articles of commerce he had found in the course of his travels were chiefly fibrous subslances, some of them excessively strong, and one resembling flax, which were found in large quantities on the north bank of the Zambesi. The sugar cane also grew abundantly, though the natives had no idea of the use of sugar ; and indigo grew wild all over the coun try. There were acres of it near the village of Tete ; it COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburo.) IN RE REDPATH. The Court proceeded to hear objections to proofs, and on one of a bill for medical attendance. His Honour thought that it ought not to be admitted until the bankrupt had had an opportunity of examicing it.

The whol e of the vale which lies between Carnarvon shire and Denbighshire, was one vast lake, and all com munication between the two counties was cut off. Several of the streets in Llanwrst were totally impas sible, and on Sunday the chapels were unapproachable, and remained empty during the day. A few people a ttempted to go tu 'S t. Mary's Church, but had to be convdyed through the water in cars. Houses were deluged to the depth of many feet, and great losses in furniture and other property sustained. A hatter ' s establishmen was flooded, the hats floating in every direction. One old man awoke from sleep to find himself sailing in his bed, f o ll owed by a large water ing. The contents of two surgeries were destroyed. So great was the fury of, the tempest that the founda tions of Plas 1E614, the residence of M.

TIIE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of The San : SIR, —An extract from the United Service Gazette, pub lished in The Sun of to-day, informs your readers that Captain Paterson, of the whaler Pacific, has in his posses. sion three copper bolts and a galvanised iron rod, which he bartered from the Esquimaux at Ponds-bay this pa s t summer, and which are supposed to have formed a part of the ships abandoned in the ice by Sir E. Belcher in 1854. It would be an interesting and important fact to know if these bolts and the rod of iron bear the Go. vernment mark or broad arrow. The mention by another whaling captain, that the Esquimaux had sledges made of hard wood, br.red with treenail holes, bears somewhat on my statement, that the natives who had seen a portion of Sir John Franklin's party had not fallen in with his ships. In 1846-7 the natives of Repulse and Polly bays had abundance of sledges exactly similar to those noticed above, made both of oak and pine, the wood of which, they said, had been obtained from a ship left many years before by white men near Nee - chel-le or Nei-telli, a place often named by Sir John Ross in his "Narrative," and close to where he left his vessel in 1832. This wood was evidently a part of his vessel (the Victory), as it was too thin to have formed the planking of a ship like the Fury, abandoned at or on Fury-beach in 1825 In 1854 the Esquimaux I met with in the same loca lities sin 184-7 had very few wood sledges, and these were extremely old and much worn, Some of the sledges were made of bone, but the majority were of musk-ox skin, folded up on a little wet mass or mud, in the form of a sledge-runner, and then frozen. These last are never used when the Esquimaux can get wood, as in the spring (at which season the natives travel most) they are thawed and put o u t of shape by the heat of the mid-day sun. In 1847 wood was not i n great demand by the natives, b because they had au ample supply for all their wants ; ut in 1854 - , a small piece, sufficient for a spear handle, was valued more highly than a large d..gger. The conclusion I came to was, that, if Franklin's ships, or one of them, had b een f ound by the Esquimaux, they would have been eq ua ll y well supplied with wood in 1854, as they were iu 1847, if not better. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, London JOHN RAE. , December 15.
