The trade between this coetntry and the Northern States and Nuts of South America hao been most successfully pro vided foe; one gr eat want, however, has yet to be supplied —there remain the trade o. the West Indies still requiring accommodation, and the enormous trade of the Southern States totally without provision. The reduction in the duties on Sugar, and its present high price, and the stimulus to be given to the growth of cotton, must tend to increase the trade of the W est Indies , and thus necessitate increased Banking facilities. It is true that the war has deranged and cramped the business operations of the Southern States, but a trade of such enormous extent could not possibly be suppressed ; and accordingly, the commercial statistics of the West Indian Islands, which lie contiguous to the American coast, show that a great portion of the trade (Atha Southern States has been transferred to them. • It is a fact that Havannah, St. Thomas, Nassau, Ber muda, and other ports, are now transacting the most ex• tensive business ; their harbours are crowded with shipping, and yet they are without any increased business acc inmu datioc, and in some cases do not possess any banking facilities at all. For instance, Nassau and Bermuda possess but one Bank, the operations of wilted are very limited ; whilst the paucity of banking accommoda tion at Havannah and St. Thomas is well known ; and yet the imports and exports of these ports to and from the United Kingdom amount annually to about eight millions sterling. The Peninsular, West Indian, and Southern Bank (Limited) is formed chiefly for the purpose of supplying this deficiency of banking accommodation. It is proposed to commence business immediately at St. Thomas, Bermuda, Nassau, and Liverpool, in which places a very large and profitable business may be effected. In Nassau alone great amounts in Bills are sold in the market at premiums as remittances to this country. As compara tively no provision is made for this the Bank could not fail to realise a great profit in Exchanges alone. The commercial importance of the Isthmus of Panama to our trade with Australia, New Zealand, California, &c., and the development to be given to the Northern States of South America, have suggested the propriety of providing in the Articles of Association for power to open branches or agencies at Panama, Granada, Venezuela, Guayana, &c., should such appear to the Directors desirable. Negociations are now pending through which the most powerful support is anticipated in the above places, Whatever may be the duration of the present American war, it must sooner or later end, when immediate advan• tags would be taken of peace to extend the Bank, with its established machinery, into the Southern States, where, with the connection already formed by its operations in the surrounding Istands, it is fair to presume it would become the Bank of the South ; and when it is remembered that the Southern States of America, in one article export alone, gave employment to one-third of the manufacturing popula tion of England, it is impossible to overstate the prospects of a Bank commencing business there with the advantages of a large capital and an already formed connection. One tf the principal objects of the Bank thus being the ultimate establishment of Branches in the large cities and towns of the Southern States, to provide banking accommo dation for the immense trade with Europe certain to follow the termination of the war, powers are included in the Articles of Association for the establishment of Agencies in such of the capitals of Europe as may have close business relations with America ; and arrangements have already been concluded with influential continental societies, by which the r ank secures the co 'operation of eminent capi talists in France, Italy, and the Mediterranean Penin sulas. The operations of the Bank will be limited by the Articles of Association to a legitimate Financial Business only, and will consist of the negotiation of bills of exchange—buying or selling on different parts of Europe—receiving money on deposit, discounting commercial bilis, collecting bills, advancing on such bills, or produce, and on other available securities, and all other ordinary banking, financial, or ex change business. The Directors retain the right of reserving 5,000 shares for foreign or continental issue, should they deem it desir• able.

There was in consequence a considerable amount of excitement at that famousmarket, MARRIAGE OF DRULEEP SING.—The A'emandria correspondent of the Times of India gives the fol■ lowing account of the marriage of Dhuleep Sing, which took place at the British Consulate, Alexandria, on the 7th June, In the presence of a very few witnesses :—" The young lady who has now become Maharaneee is the daughter of an European merchant here. Her mother is an Abyssinian. She is between 15 and 16 years of age, of a slight but graceful figure, interesting rather than hand some, not tall, and in complexion lighter than her husband. She is a Christian, and was educated in the American Pres• byterian Mission School at Cairo; and it was during a chance visit there, while on his way out to India, that the prince. first saw his future bride, who was engaged as in structress in the school. Dhuleep Sing wore at the wed ding European costume, excepting a red Tarboosh. The bride's dress was also European, of white moire antique, a fichu point d 'Afengon short lace sleeves, orange blossoms in her dark hair, with, of course, the asnal gauze veil. She wore but a few jewels ; a necklace of fine pearls, and a bracelet set with diamones were her only ornaments. The I for.aula of civil marriage at her Britannic Majesty's con sulates in the Levant is very brief. Both parties declare that they know no lawful impediment to their union; then they declare that they mutually accept each other as hus band and wile, and the civil service is over. This formula Was P"noanced by the prince in Ecglish ; the bride, in a low but musical voice, read it in Arabic (that being the only language with which she is acquainted), and'thus gamba Muller" became tie " Maharanee." She showed much self-possession through it all. A religious ceremony w h at; performed by one of the American ministers at t h e horse of the bride's father; and the newly-married pair re tired to the prince's house at ltaneleh, a few miles from A'exandria. They will leave soon for England." :RoyaL GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION,--MR, AND MRS.

Half-a.year's further retention of office—undis puted and unconditional—is the reward accorded to her Majesty's Ministers for—well, frankly now, For What P So far as we can understand—for three things. And those three things as different the one from the other as they aro each and all of them, as Ministerial achievements, absolutely nn• deniable. Firstly, then—in regard to the Home Policy of England—for doing—Nothing ! Secondly, and very conspicuously, indeed, achieved as this Ministerial feat has been under the observation of the whole wide world—secondly, we say, in regard to the Foreign Policy of Eng land—by contriving with wonderful skill, after the fashion of Bottom the Weaver, to induce the British Lion for once to roar like any sucking dove Thirdly and finally—" the third" here, in truth, " being the charm," or, to express the fact yet more plainly, this ttiird being, quite indisputably, a "clincher"—thirdly, we say, and finally, Minis ters have just now won their reward by according to the House of Commons a reprieve ! Obtaining in return—from the Reprieved House—upon the reciprocity principle, as a sort of a qua pro quo—a welcome reprieve also for themselves. Voila tout ! Ile.e, in those three all-sufficient reasons, the whole secret is fairly out—and Minis ters still in ! They retain office for another half■ year, undisputedly and unconditionally they retain it—For not giving the coup de grace to the Mori bund Parliament ! For (wonderful to tell !) in ducing the British Lion (of all animals in the world !) for once—under the marvellous influence of that Political Van Amburgh, Earl .lEtussELL—to roar, as we have already expressed it in the words of BOTTOM the Weaver (Earl RUSS E LL'S, prototype, otherwise crede Lord DERBY !)—to roar you like any sucking dove I Ministers, more over, retaining office thus, for half-a-year longer as the especial reward of merit for doing—nothing ! As for the foreign policy of the Cabinet—well, the egregious failure of that espe cially and from beginning to end, is a fact long and. long ago perfectly notorious, It is printed in only too legible characters upon the ample folio pages of a weary succession of blue books. It has been proclaimed only too audibly in the one Great Debate of this recent session— and proclaimed there, not by any means alone, from the side of the Conservative Opposition I The gametic irony, nay, more than that, the openly ex• pressed condemnation of the Foreign Policy of the Government, coming more plainly than from the lips of any one of the Tory members, from those of the so-called Liberal Independents sitting on the Government side of the House immediately below the gangway ! Although but one of those Liberal Independents, it is true, proved himself afterwards consistent alike in his irony and in his condemna tion (Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, to wit) by abstaining altogether from taking any part at all in the ultimate delivery of the Verdict of the House of Commons by means of the Division. It was especially and distinctly of the Foreign Policy of Ministers, as that Foreign Policy had even then become apparent, that the Earl of DERBY, a the very commencement of the session, pronounced sententiously and alliteratively that it wae, from first to last, definable only as an ex• traordinary combination of " meddle and mud dle." Not alone, however, was the Con servative Chieftain's happy phrase, when so speak ing,applicable to the Foreign Policy of Her MAJESTY'S Government. Of the whole complex fabric of their policy—Domestic as well as Foreign —we mi g h t say, as truthfully as STEPHEN BLACKPOOL used t o say i n " Hard Times"—especi ally hard times to him, as they are now (let us sug gest by way of example) to Danes and to Reformers! —as STEPHEN BLACKPOOL used to say in if Hard Times," things in general, and of everything _ in particular —so now quite as truthfully might we say, not of the Foreign policy alone but of the whole Policy, Home as well as Foreign, of her MAJESTY'S Government—" It's aw a muddle !" Bet, so far as Ministers themselves are concerned, it is evidently a' muddle after all that (unwell . . It answers their purpose at least—by keeping them in effice—if it answers nobody else's. If, let us say for instance, it in no way answers, as it certainly does not, the purpose, the very comprehensible purpose of those amongst us English who care very much—for the rational furtherance and develop ment (not hushing up and shelving) of the prin.• ciples of Reform—for the energctic progress of a recognisable aad appreciable system of Legialation —for the Honour of this country ! That Honour that used to be cared for at one time (say in the days of the great Earl of CHATHAM) but apparently won't pay just now ! Now, when England's sceptre is lengthening out into the semblance of a yard measure, and the globe borne in the left hand of the Sovereign, is held there no longer as a lordly symbol of power, but as a mere sordid test as a metal weight ready to be thrown into our huckstering scales as a practical something weighing so much avoir dupois ! Yes, all this, no doubt, as a transforma tion of things here, in England, may be very mean and very paltry —may be what we in our national vain glory have been accustomed to talk of hitherto as " un•Eaglish"—bat—we repeat, it evidently, in spite of all our objections, somehow or another answers. It answers the purpose of the House of Commons, and it answers the purpose of Her Majesty's Govern ment. They mutually accord to each other, as we have intimated, a snug little comfortable reprieve. Perish all that old-fashioned miserable rubbish about the Honour of England, and so forth—all that wretched trumpery that has cost us so much both of gild and treasures in the maintenance of it, in the 'vindication of it, against every possible antagonist, even against that mightiest of all antagonists, that greater than CESAR, and ALEXANDER, and CHARLEMAGNE, the Great NAPOLEON I Rather than that—says the Ministry, and Ditto to the ignoble cry says the House of Commons—. rather than any farther bosh about the Honour of England—let us see, henceforth, in regard to any questions—Will it Pay ? Is it—whatever the ques tion before us may be—ls it one that is likely to affect—not that stuff and nonsense, Oar Hon our but—Our Pockets, Our Balance at the Bankers, Our Own Sense of Ease, Oar Own Ideas of Respectability. Hearing this, seeing this, mus ing over this—the cry of our very heart and conscience seems to be instinctively, 0, for One Hour of the Earl of Chatham ! The result of the trial at Guildford of the engine driver and stoker far manslaughter in the recent accident at Egham has given general satisfaction. Tae public are not to be deceived by so palpable a pretext as the implied culpable negligence of the driver, whose real fault, if any, lay in the too faithful discharge of the company's reprehensible instructions. In the "good old times" such a mode of extricating themselves from a difficulty might have succeeded, but those days are past, and public opinion will no more saEction the unjust imprisonment of an engine-driver to shield a rail way company than it will the murder of an Ad miral to save an Administration. As the case at present stands the company have not improved matters by the evidence produced at the late trial. It would have been far better to have made a virtue of nteassity and admitted that the arre.ngemento for the traffic were farlty, rather than have eb stinately maintained that they were sufficient for public safety in the face of what had actually taken place. As it was, three witnesses, on cross-exami netion, were compelled to contradict their own statements, and Mr. Sergeant BALLANTINE elicited some startling disclosures, which produced much laughter by their absurdity, although the conse quences were too serious for merriment. In the examination of Mr. STRAPP, the resident engineer, tbat gentleman admitted that the practice of run. ning engine-tenders first or backwards was objectionable, and that there being no turntable at Ascot the practice was unavoidable. He owned further that telegraphic notice was not given of the starting and arrival of the trains, which he consi dered unnecessary for public safety, although it was practised in the case of Royal trains. In fact, said Sergeant BALLANTINE, you use the telegraph when you particularly desire to save people's lives, but not otherwise. Mr GODSON, the traffic manager, ad mitted that instructions had been given to the ser vants of the company which the arrangements 01 traffic rendered the fulfilment of impossible. Plats layers were stationed along the line with directions to show the danger signal (a red flag) for five minutes after every train had passed, and then the caution signal (a green flag) for five minutes more, and after ton minutes 'had elapsed the all right signal (a white flag). According to this arrange ment, had the ordinary rule of the company been followed, the accident would not have happened. The drivers of trains are strictly ordered to stop at once when they see the danger signal; but on the day of the accident, when extra care and precaution should have been taken, this rule was set aside, and the engine drivers were ordered not to stop when they saw the red flag, but to go on with caution. Of what use, then, was the green flag ? Now, although the red flag was to be shown f o r fi ve m i nu t es —i . e ., w hil e there was danger, and the regulations implied that ten minutes should intervene between the trains, they were started at irregular intervals of five minutes, in fact as fast as they were filled, so that the danger signal was constantly flying. It was t h e o ld story of the cry of "Wolf," for when th e actua l d anger was at hand there was no meana of imparting infor mation to the driver. This was one of the causes of the accident, and Mr. GODSON was so hard pressed by Sergeant BALLANTINE that he was actually forced to admit the startling inference drawn by the learned gentleman regarding the special rule as to stoppage, as combined with the construction that the red signal was not to be taken as meaning 'stop.' " He asked, sarcastically, when the conjoint effect of the special regulations was not merely this, that the second train would run into the previous one a little lees violently than it other. wise would and kill and wound a smaller number of persons. Well might Justice WILLES inquire with surprise, if the witness was serious in his ad mission, and although the witness said he was not, he gave no explanation. The real cause of the accident, however, was not in the signals, though that was probably more by luck than management. In the present instance nobody seems to have tried to stop the second train, though had they wished to do so we do not see how it could have been done. The danger signal was up, but the driver had orders not to obey it. The actual cause was the culpable , nay, almost insane act of starting one train, with orders to stop at Egham, and another train, five minutes afterwards, with orders not to stop there, informing neither driver of the orders given to the other. In our opinion the coroner's jury were wrong in, their verdict of manslaughter ag4inst the driver of the train. It should rather have been one of premeditated homicide against the parties who gave such orders, the probable consequences of which were so evident. Mr. Justice WILLES made some very eensible remarks upon the liability of railway companies, and the advisability of enacting some law to render them responsible for avoidable acci dents. In the present case the catastrophe was courted. Why was the danger signal suspended? Surely there are more colours than red, green, and white. If an extra signal was required, the com pany would have found it cheaper to have purchased a few hundred blu3 or yellow flags than to pay the thousands of pounds compensation which this acci dent has entailed upon them. how many more lives must be sacrificed before a Government regu lation compels the adoption of sufficient break power ? The driver saw the danger in time to have stopped his train had he had the means of commu nication with the guards or they with him, and more powerful breaks. In all probability the recent disaster at Margate might hive likewise been pre vented. Another Conservative triumph at Exeter has just been recorded to swell the .ong list of the Minis terial reverses, and this election at Exeter may fairly be considered in the light of a great party triumph, inasmuch as there vere great efforts made to return the Liberal candidate. It must be a great mortification to the latter and his friends, and the Government cannot but fee/, if they will not ac knowledge, the strong proofs so often afforded to them by the issues of these elections. It is true that it is too late for any detriment to accrue to the Government policy this year, and whether an opponent or, a supporter comes in no perceptible difference will be felt. for some months. The cer tainty of this fact will, doubtless, take off the edge of the disappointment, but not the lees it is a great blow to the losers. It is a sure proof to all who attentively consider the state of parties, that gradually but surely the Ministerial strength is being sapped, and that no power can long with stand such deteriorating influences. It is all very fine for the Government adherents to be constantly dinning into one's ears at any great crisis, that d there is a defeat of Ministers they will appeal to the country. This sounds very grand to the uninitiated, and doubtless some members who prefer conve nience to conscience may be influenced by it, but in the abstract it cannot be said that any gain would result. It is not possible for the Government to change the whols tone and temper of the conati• luencies throughout the country by their having Lecourse to a dissolution, and the opinion of the public at large is pretty well manifested by the decision of these elections. There can be no doubt that if Lord PALMERSTON had put his threat into execution and dissoivtd Parliament this year, he would have had a very large majority against him. It is a satisfaction to think this, at all events, and to rest a.;ured that, however the ad- verse influences brnught to bear have compro- wised the expression of opinion in the House of Commons, they who sent forth those represents• Lives would have had them act quite otherwise. This fact is sufficiently proved by the circum stance that in many cases a Conservative is elected where only Liberals have before held the seat, which is a double victory to one and a double defeat to the other. Lord COURTENAY expressed himself as strongly opposed to the foreign policy of the Government, end this was doubtless his best chance of success, This will not be the last time that the avowal of such a conviction will be re corded at elections. Oft and again will it be found that the unwise and unbefitting course pur. ,ued by the Ministers has been as ruinous to iteir own prosperity and popularity as inimicai to the intereets of their country and prejudicial to its reputation. Lord COURTENAY truly observed that the " result of the foreign policy of the Go- vernment had been to leave the country without o single ally in Eurcpe. It appeared to him they had bullied the weak and truckled to the strong." This is an epitome of their course. It is only too true that to such a degree of degradation have we sunk. Indeed, so distressing is it to contemplate the position that England now holds, and so perverted is the influence which she should exercise, that a patriotic politician must contem plate the state of affairs with deep regret and heart felt vexation. Beyond and above the considera• Lions of party, there is the question of the welfare of the country, which it should ever be the common objeot of all shades of politicians to secure. The internal ar rangements of Es nation may be modified and changed without any great difference being made apparent, but it is otherwise in external affairs. When the proper influence of a country like ours is lessened or lost, it is very difficult to retrieve the position, and make up for past deficiencies. Thus it cannot be said that under the present aspect of affairs there is much cause for congratulations, or rejoicings in any political event or election result. The only consolation is, that if the opinions of the country are roused, if the feeling is against the truculent course We have lately been compelled to pursue, a reaction may take place. It is something to reflect upon, that at no public meeting, or no p;aco where a public mani festation of opinion is made, do we find anyone advocating the cause of the Ministers, or giving credit to their foreign policy. This feeling will not die away, as they or their supporters may imagine more and more, the time wears on, and exposes, —on the contrary, the sentiment will deepen as sad effects and ruinous consequences of the policy of Earl RUSSELL. When peace has been finally see declared, and the u n f or t un ate Kingdom of Denmark has been torn t o pi eces , n o less by pacificatory in. novations than by war like oppressions, then the people of this c ountr y will eee tNhvehetrnuththeiny its full the enormity and f a t a l ev id enc e. spoliation, and thi n k o f the sacrifice, they must condemn the course our Government has tak en . The effects will be that the Ministers will lose every election that is taken separately, whil e all their influence and all their misrepresentations will not avert their overwhelming defeat at a gene ral appeal to the country. Mr. COLERIDGE appears to have thought discretion the better part of valour, for he does not seem to have said anything in favour of the foreign policy of the Government. This was very wise, as it could have availed hi m nothing to attempt the advocacy of such a course of failure, The eo-called Liberals who wish to serve in the ranks of the Miniaterialists will find that they have no easy task before them for some time to come. Indeed, it will be very difficult to say on what grounds they can rest their claim for support, and in what manner they can make out that they are likely to do service to their constituents if they are returned. As for Reform, that is out of the question, and, as the once vaunted foreign policy, that is a reproach throughout the world. It is not easy to define the future at any time, and just now it is especially complicated ; but, at all events, any defeat of the Ministers at elections is some gain. It affords the shadow of a hope that the day may not be far distant when their long abuse of power will be over, and when the people of England may be. hold a happier state of things than can ever appear under their unwise and mischievous policy, TIM SUN, LONDO', FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 5, 1864.

The Giornale di .Roma of the 27th July contains the following :- 1 "The Holy Father has just paid a visit to the town of Albano, near Castel Gandolfo. One of the canons of the cathedral delivered a congratulatory address in Latin, to which the Holy Father replied in the same language. The inhabitants of the town gave his Holiness a most enthusiastic reception. The band of the French regiment executed brilliant symphonies on the occasion. All the balconies were decked out with flags, and the people eagerly solicited the apostolic benediction, which was given. From the cathedral, the Pope went to the palace inhabited by the royal family of Naples, where his Holiness had a long conversation with the Neapoli tan Princes. The Sovereign Pontiff also visited the Queen Dowager of Naples and the Infanta of Portu gal. In the chapel of the palace where the latter resides, the Pope admitted the persons present to the honour of kissing his foot. His Holiness after wards returned to Castel-Gandolfo." FRANCE.

Sundries Dr. Livingstone's Exp editfcns The .Poona Observer, of June 21, contains an account of a visit paid on the preceding day to the Free Church Institution in Pooona by Dr. Living stone, who was at the time the guest of his Excel lency the Governor of Bombay, at Daporee. We take the following from its columns : —" Dr. Living stone arri;•ed at eleven o'clock, accompanied by Ca - itain Leith, and was received by Mr. Gardiner, the missionaries, Major Candy, Mr. Ross, Presby terian chaplain, several cfficers and other gentle men. Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Gardiner, and several ladies were alsopresent. Dr. Livingstone examined come of the classes, and afterwards the young men to the number of some hundreds. Mr. Mitchell in troduced the illustrious traveller as one with whose fame they were familiar, and whose well-known work they had seen. Of course another book of equal interest would be expected in some months' time (this remark caused some merriment), and it would give them an additional interest in it to have seen the distinguished author among them, and heard him speak to them. In reply to a request from Mr. Mitchell, that he would give his opinion as to the prospects of South Africa in regard to its future civilisation and trade, Dr. Livingstone stated that those prospects were not nearly so bright now as they had been when he arrived with the expedition at the mouth of the Zambesi river in 1858. They had procured the assistance and countenance of the Portuguese Go vernment, and an order to its subordinates to give them every aid• and support. The harbour was a remarkably fine one, and everything promised well when they made their first expedition up the river. They found the neighbouring country thickly peopled, and some caution was required to avoid any demonstration, lest they should be attacked from the banks with the arrows of the natives, who knew no Europeans but the Portuguese, and were ❑ot disposed from what they knew of them to give strangers a very friendly reception. When they came down, however, they found that these hostile feelings had disappeared, and that they were well received. The expedition was sent out by the Eng lish universities, and accompanied by the excellent and devoted Bishop Mackenzie, who was so regard less of his own comfort that there is little doubt he lost his life thereby. The Portuguese had long carefully excluded all other Europeans from the country; he himself had obtained access to it on a former occasion by entering it from the south and coming down the river, when they could not for very shame compel him to go back. This was in 1856, and on his return two years later the expedi tion was allowed without difficulty to enter the country, as just stated. On akcending the river several cataracts were encountered, which Dr. Livingstone had not seen when be came down. O❑ this account they took the direction of the Shire river, and ascended the beautiful valley of that name. It contained a thick population, flourishing villages, and fine cultivation. Above was an eie• vated plateau some thousand feet ebove the sea, which strongly resembled the Deccan, except that it was covered with trees and grass, and which, like the valley, contained a large population. But about that time the Portuguese sold a quantity of firearms and ammunition to one of the tribes, to be paid for in slaves. The tribe, thus armed, swept the whole neighbouring country like a scourge, killing the men in the villages, and carrying off women and children into slavery. This produced a terrible famine, in which large numbers of the survivors perished, and the fine valley of the Shire was transformed literally into a valley of bones. Whole villages were found without people ; it was impossible to walk half a mile without seeing a skeleton lying by the way ; and you might open the door of a hut and find skeletons inside—some. times two side by side, with a little skeleton be tween them. On another expedition they ascended the main stream of the Z Ambesi, passing 35 miles of rapids, and reached Lake Nyassa, which was 270 miles long and silty or seventy wide. Above it was a range of hills, which proved, when they had ' ascended it, to be another plateau or table land nearly 4,000 feet high, extending for many miles, and tilled with villages and cultivation. The government was et the patriarchal fort:, each village being entirely independent under its own head man or chief. They had no central govern ment, and each chief had to be negotiated with separately. In one respect there was a great contrast to this country, for there were slaves in every village chained up and working for their masters. They were inhabitants of other villages, who had been kidnapped and brought into captivity. They were held by a collar round the neck, to which a long stick was attached, and they were thus secured for the night, or when made to travel pushed along by the proprietor, who held the other end of the stick and followed. Many of the slaves were quite little children, whose parents pro bably had been killed, for Dr. Livingstone, who seemed good naturedly desirous to satisfy the curi osity of those present, stated that the cultivation by the African natives was very good, though it was entirely carried on with hoes. They were very indus trious, and whole families worked in their gardens, which were often very large; men, women, and children all together, an infant in addition being sometimes seen deposited under a hedge. They grew beans of all kinds, pumpkins, maize, and rice, but nut wheat nor grain. Cotton they grew, spun, and wove themselves. They had no trade, except occa sionally in tobacco, or any idea of money, and they had to carry with them on the expedition a large quantity of calico, glass beads, and brass wire, for purposes of trade ; and here also they were liable to disappointment, for if the glass beads were not of the kind in fashion among the ladies of the village you were done—they would not be taken on any ac- count. They had no ides of letters, nor ever acquired any. Reading appeared to them a sort of witchcraft; and they often amused themselves with the chiefs by writing a word in large letters and sticking it up, when one by one the members of the expedition would whisper it, without any previous consulta tion, into the ear of the chief, who felt an ever new surprise at the accomplishment. The people on the coasts were of the negro type, but with much variety of head and feature, and it must by no means be supposed that they all resembled the negroes outside the tobacconists' shops in England. As a rule they all had what we should call rather fiat noses. They, however, considered the noses of the Europeans coo sharp, and he (Dr. Livingstone) was not prepared to say wt ich opinion was right. He thought that by establishing a permanent British settlement, by gradually opening trade among them, and the introduction of mis sions, their condition might be improved ; but the occurr ences h e had descr ib e d Laic for the present done much to hinder any measures of the sort. Dr. Livingstone then took leave o f hi s nat i ve h earers with the African salutation, which our reporter greatly regrets he has forgotten, but which the Doctor said be presumed they hade om m f a o z u thatn to B Bombay , b a would y understand whn ro o b e e e e d a j u n s: h fr eolaba and back, though he obtainedie was ve alwaysrylittle attention when he sp oke English, remarkably we ll understood when ho expreesec himself in the African language—provided he did so with sufficient emphasis.

TUITRY. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were very moderate, but most samples were received in excellent con dition. Both for red and white qualities, the trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on the stands The amount of business transacted in all descriptions was small, at barely late rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at aboui stationary prices. _ Barley —the supply of which, on sale, was moderate for the time of year —was steady at late quotations. Malt changed hands to a moderate extent, at previous rates. The supply of oats on sale was large, yet the demand ruled somewhat active, at full prices. Beans and peas ruled firm, and were quite as dear as on Monday. The flour trade was quiet, on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WIZER. Wheat. Barley, Malt. Oats. Flour.
