SPOR7ING. OPINION. MR. DICKENS IN. PHILADELPHIA. England won the Elcho Challenge Shield, indeed, but only by one mark, while Scotchmen carried off the International Trophy by 38 marks. Private Hay won the Irish International Trophy with 66 marks, beating the representatives of Ireland and England by 13 and 21 marks respectively ; and Sergeant Bailie won the St. George's Challenge Vase with the extraordinary score of 27 marks out of a possible &lore of 28. When the memory of all these battles at the butts had bccu revived and the heroes duly honoured, L idy II )pe Grant distri buted the regimental and other prizes won during the year. The first of the corps priz , :s was won by Private the llon. J. Gordon ; but there is a wholesome rule in the regiment that non-ellicients must not take prizes, and as Mr. Gordon had not earned the capita tion grant for his corps the prize fell to Sergt.Nichols, the second to Private Davisou, the third to Ensign Porteous. We have not space for the prize list, which occupies several pages of print, and was read out, with a running fire of comments, by the adju tant of the regiment, Captain Page. In some of the matches there is another wholesome rule, in tended to prevent undue monopoly of prize-taking by leading marksmen, namely, that men who have won £lO, or taken three prizes, cannot take more. Even with this restriction, the same names recurred with what to the unsuccessful probably seemed " a damnable iteration." Private Hay, Sergeant Baillie, Sergeant Michie, Colour-SergeantMalcolm, M.P., Private E. Ross, and Sergeant J. E. Ross were the most frequently called up. Lieutenant Scott headed the list for the subscription prizes at 500 and 600 yards, making 31 marks in five shots, and Sergeant J. A. Ross was first at 200 and 500 yards, with 32 marks. Private E. Ross was first for the " railway prizes," making 16 points in five shots at unknown distances be tween 200 and 300 yards. Private Hill won the chief " recruit prize ;" Private Davison won a drawing room table, presented by Messrs. Atkinson. A challenge cup, given by Lady Elcho, was won by Private E. Ross. What is called the " Celestial Cup," manufactured in China, and presented by Scotchmen resident there, to be held by the company of which any five men make the highest aggregate score in all the open competitions, was won by the F Company, who scored 955. The Lord Elcho Challenge cup was secured by the A Company ; the Hope Grant prizes by Sergeant Michie, Private E. Ross, Private Hay, and Sergeant J. A. Ross, The Wemyss Cup, given by the Earl of Wemyss, was won by Sergeant Michie. The total number of battalion prizes awarded was 105, worth £194 ; the value of the challenge cups won was £250, and of the company prizes £323. Referring to the scanty show of cups, Major Anson defended the practice of taking prizes in money. Volunteers were not always rich; their expenses in qualifying as first-rate shots were considerable ;land he thought the London Scottish were quite right in taking the money, which would perhaps enable them to make holyday in the far north, instead of accumulating a lot of useless plate in their cupboards. When money and cups had both been awarded, Sir hope Grant addressed to the regiment a few words of congratulation upon their present efficiency, and of exhortation to renewed efforts on the drill-ground as well as at the butts. better d States 6blished ut more LUNCHEON BAR, GLASSHOUSE-STREET (One door from Regent-street), CUISINE FRANCAISE, &c. (From the 7 elegraph.) Almost as children at a pantomime look forward to the georgeous transformation scene, and the tumbling in of clown and pantaloon, lo turfmen anticipate the publication of the weights for the great spring handicaps. Curiosity by this time has been amply satisfied, and it is rernarkab!e how nearly the estimates furnished in these columns on Wed nesday agreed with Mr. Topham's calcul aions of chances for the Chester Cup. In the majority of cases the weights were identical, and in no single instance was there any wide disparity of opinion. The racing community were heartily tired of their long reign of dulness, and the issue of the last calen dar was received with the liveliest expressions of relief and welcome. Even billiards were for a period forgotten, and on Thursday the com mon observation current in all metropolitan racing circles was, " Well, what do you think of the weights ?" The Knights of the cue have wound up their season capitally, and the success of Mr. Edward Green in the " crack" match with the eight best players at " the Victoria," was received as an extremely popularly triumph. Maters did not, however, move as smoothly and amicably as could have been desired by the Albert Handicap, and there were several little hitches which it is as well to pass over without comment. But the most en thusiastic billiard-players must have got weary of their " long rest" in racing affairs, and the match table at the Victoria has been ruthlessly removed now that the spring handicaps are brought upon the carpet. Large musters may be looked forward to presently at the clubs, and if the weather keeps open the three-year-olds and the youngsters will soon be submitted to a process of " roughing up."

It is evident that professional turfites mean to make up for the two months' holiday they have just been compelled to take, the appearance of the principal spring handicaps having acted as the sig nal for a pretty good muster of talent at the Lon don clubs, whereat Rosicrucian and Pace for the Two Thousand and Derby, and the two crack fillies in the latter race, have been backed for heavy money within the past two or three days. Judg ing from the operations and operators, we shall have some sensation betting between the Marquis of Hastings' and Sir Joseph Ilawley's Derby cracks, the " commissioner" to the latter gentleman having on Saturday taken 4,000 to 600 about Rosicrucian, and 6,000 to 500 about Green Sleeve, and then accommodated a Danebury follower with 1,800 to 300 about Lady Elizabeth. " Six monkeys on the field" is now the order of the day, and the two great guns are fairly equal fa vourites ; nor will the Lady touch 5 to 1 again, I suspect, until after a hard fight. Her friends say she could always give the Earl any amount of weight at home, and that the money put on the latter is thrown away ; but it is impossible to make more than half a stone (equal, of course, t o 10 or nibs.) between their public form, and there is only one opinion as to which should improve the most. a recog and pre ,he vessel her hand, L7 TOOPING HABITS, ROUND SHOULDERS, PIGEON CHESTS. and other Deformities, are prevented and cured by wearing CHANDLER'S IMPROVED HYGIENIC CHEST EXPANDING BEACH, for both sexes of all ages.

PO 4(1 tree ty Pori Or Ow onus. (From the Morning Herald.) To say that the weights for the spring handicaps were received with general satisfaction, would only faintly express the " welcome" accorded to them in all quarters. To the racing public, who began to tire of the monotonous tedium of the short turf vacation, they will afford food for study and busi ness, until the series is inaugurated at Lincoln, and already mysterious whispers are in circulation of good things with at least a stone in hand. The Grand National has taken a decided lead in the game of speculation, and as none of the early fancies have been " crushed" it will undoubtedly prove a merry betting race ; but with many interests doubly and trebly represented the " pea" is certain to take some finding. Two or three important Derby moves were made on Saturday when the " cherry jacket " commissioner accepted 100 to 15 to win £4,000 about Rosicrucian, and also took "twelve monkeys" about Green Sleeve, 6 to 1 to £4OO being laid against Lady Elizabeth. Throughout the week Pace has been in great demand, and no opportunity missed of securing the 1000 to 60 prices, which are no longer procurable ; and another of the Newmar ket division, Suffolk, is very firm at 20 to 1. Cir cumstances favour the idea that Rosicrucian , will be the Kingsclere representative in the Two Thousand, and should he win—as lam sanguine he will with a start—would come a tremendous pot for theDerbh even in the face of Lady Elizabeth. Apparently a genuine commission is being worked in favour of Vale Royal for the Two Thousand, as 20 to 1 has been booked to some money ; but I am loth to see the grounds upon which he bases his claims, and think Formosa to be a far more profitable invest ment. (From the Racing Times.) The weights for most of the Spring Handicaps made their appearance simultaneously in Weatherby's Calendar on Thursday last, and although there are some consider able differences in the estimate formed by the several han dicappers of the capabilities of the animals engaged, there is, on the whole, very lii,tle ground of complaint. I notice, by the way, that Admiral Rous favours my Derby outsider, Speculum, with the top weight as regards three year olds for the Metropolitan Stakes; and in the Lincolnshire Han dicap he alto heads the list of youngsters. It is ridiculous making any selections until the acceptances give me an opportunity of forming an opinion which engagements some of the best horses are likely to NM'. At the same time there is no great objection apparent to me why one may not point to two or throe animals engaged in these races which look formidable on paper, because I believe many a time the pen of owners has erased nominations without due consideration, which animals would have won their engagements afterwards in a canter. Cne not able instance of this kind was Virago, who did not accept for the Chester Cup through a fit of spleen of the owner, although it was notorious afterwards that this wonderful filly would have won in a; canter—a pretty good proof of which washer winning the City and Suburban and Metro politan Handicaps (run the same day), and the Great Northern Handicap, all previous to the great race alluded to, for which her penalties would only have been 101 b. extra. The first great handicap of the year is at Lincoln, and amongst the seventy-nine nominations are some of the fastest herses of the day. Volunteer heads the lot with 9st on his back, which ought to give him a great chance of winning, but the two I most fancy are 11oLEsxtx and AINSLIE, although Bumbnt is very well in, considering the easy style in which she won the Trial Handicap at Manchester this year, and I think she ought to have had five pound s more on her back in consequence of that performance. A lot of the steeplechase horses for the Grand National at Liverpool are lightly handicapped, but I should fancy those persons who invest on FAN and SURNEY will most likely have both an acceptance and a good race for their money. I am only taking a cursory glance of the weights, and until the acceptances come out must decline saying anything relative to the two great Epsom Handicaps. Of those horses which are weighted for the Great Northamp ton Stakes, and are also engaged in the Chester Cup, seve ral appear to be more favourably considered at the former place. Amongst them, although the Northampton weights commence 81b. heavier, Christmas Carol, Neroli, Nidderdale, Proserpine, Settleholder, Purveyor, The Mariner, &c., are more leniently treated than by Mr. 'Popham, whilst that gentleman has let in Stradbroke and Paul Jones on more favourable term!, and my impression is he might very well have put an extra five pounds on Treasure Trove's back, as Gst 9lb is a very light impost for the winner of the Lincolnshire and Metropolitan Han dicaps only two years ago. Those animals which appear to me best in for Chester Cup are Viridis, Feodor, Trea sure Trove, Weather Star, and Paul Jones. However, as the acceptances will then have been made, I . purposo dis cussing the different handicaps more fully in your next week's paper. [ADVERTISENENT.]-ITOllOWay'S Ointment and Pills. Insufficient clothing and exposure to damp and cold pro duce many diseases of the skin, and greatly aggravate the sufferings of the delicate and scrofulous. The utmost relief is obtainable in such cases by using Holloway's re medies. The ointment applied to the part affected restrains all insidious inflammations, while it soothes, cleans, and renders healthy any ulcerations or sores which have de stroyed the skin and show little disposition to heal. This ointment purifies the blood, renders the local circulation vigorous, and represses excessive irritation. Holloway's pills are particularly serviceable in all strumous disorders, because they strengthen the stomach, improve the diges tion, excite a proper action in the liver, and act 8.9 altera. tires and aperients. On the 121 inst. Mr. Charles Dickens gave one of his readings in Philad e lphi a . The follo w i n g de scription is by a correspondent in the New York Tribune of January 14th :—" N o li terar y man ex - i cept Thackery ever had such a welcome from Phila delphia as Charles Dickens received last night at Concert Hall. The selling of the tickets two weeks ago almost amounted to ',a disturbance of the peace. Five hundred peopl e i n li ne stan di ng f rom m id n i g ht till noon poorly represented the general desire to hear the great novelist on his first night. I can not see that it was Dickens's fault that every body wanted to hear him, or Dolby's that Concert Hall could only hold 1,500 of the 15,000 who wanted to get in ; but all this grumbling and dis satisfaction melted away before the charm of the name of Charles Dickens, before the smiles of plea sure and mirth which the memory of his works evoked. Everywhere that I looked in the crowded hall I saw some one not unknown to fame ; some one representing either the intelligence or the beauty, the wealth, or the fashion of Philadelphi a . It was an audience which, in the words of Sergeant Buzfuz, I might declare an enlightened, a high-minded, a right feeling, a dispassionate, a conscientious, a sympathising, a contemplative, and a poetical jury to judge Charles Dickens without fear or favour. Charles Dickens stepped upon the stage. His book in his hand, his bouquet in his coat—but I will not describe to the readers of the Tribune the face and form many of them know so well. Mr. Dickens was received coldly. Philadelphia never takes anything for granted. She is nothing if /tot criti cal, and if William Penn were to come back most of us would cut the old Quaker dead ; and here was an Englishman, a man who had pulled us to pieces and tweaked the national nose by writing Martin Chuzzlewit' and American Notes;' a man who had broken our bread and tasted our salt, and then made fun of us for putting our knives in our mouths. Philadelphia would not sta nd any bigod nonsense from him. So, when the dapper Mr. Dickens stepped out so smilingly . , he must have felt as if he had stumbled by mistake into a bath of ice cold water. The stony British star' Tennyson talks of is nothing to the glaring look with which Philadelphia freezes a man's blood. But did Dickens mind it? Not he. ' Marley was dead to begin with,' said Mr. Dickens, and he went straight at his work. It was good work. Yet Philadelphia held out as long as she could, not only resolved never to give in to a Britisher, but also feeling a real disappointment in the man. The first smile came in when Bob Crat chit warmed him self With a candle, but before Scrooge had got through with the first ghost the laughter was uni versal and uproarious. The Christmas dinner of the Cratchits was a tremendous success, as was Scrooge's Niece by marriage. There was a young lady in white fur and blue ribbons, name unknown to the writer, upon whose sympathies Mr. Dickens played as if she had been a piano. A deaf man could have followed his story by looking at her face. The goose convulsed her. The pudding threw her into hysterics ; and when the story came to the sad death of Tiny Tim, my little, little child,' tears were streaming down her cheeks. This young lady was as good as Mr. Dickens, and all the more at tractive because she couldn't help it. Then as a joke began to be dimly foreseen, it was great to see the faint smile dawning on long lines of faces, grow ing brighter and brighter till it passed from sight and sound, and thundered to the roof in vast and inextinguishable laughter." The Public Ledger, describing the outburst of enthusiasm caused by Mr. Dickens's visit, says it is " a state of popular excitement, that, taken in all its phases, is without a parallel on our side of the ocean." Mr. Dickens gives his second reading this evening; and on the 16th and 17th he reads at Brooklyn, at Henry "Ward Beeither's Plymouth Church. The sale of seats for the Brooklyn read ings was characterised by the usual excitement, many people staying out all night to get the first choice, and 5,000 tickets being disposed of between 9 o'clock and noon. Early in February M r . Di c k ens gives four readings in 'Washington, where the price of seats is fixed at five dollars each. In the leading cities of the west he is also announced, and his pre sent intention is to return to England in the Cuba on the 22 d of April. LONDON SCOT 7 ISH RIFLE VOLUNTEERS. The winter inspection and presentation of prizes I won by members of this corps took place in West minster Hall on Saturday evening. About 400 rank and file were under arms, and the hall was well filled with spectators. The honorary Colonel, Lieutenant-General Sir Hope Grant, G.C.8., was present at the inspection, the Volunteers being under the command of Major Anson, V.C. Unfortunately the Lieutenant-Colonel, Lord Elcho, who is now on the Continent with LadyElcho,was unable to at tend, but he sent a telegram, which was read in the hall, expressing regret for his absence, wishing the London Scottish a prosperous new year, and stating his conviction that, if ever they were called on to do service, they would be found a reality, and no sham. After the inspection Sir Hope and Lady Grant, with other ladies, having taken their seats on the dais placed upon the steps at the western end of the hall, Major Anson addressed the corps, re gretting the absence of Lord and Lady Elcho, and reviewing at some length the doings of the London Scottish during the past year. The effective strength of the corps on December 1, 1867, was 512, as com pared with 616 at the same date in 1866. This falling off, however, is apparent rather than real, and is due to the fact that during the year there has been a transfer of 106 members from the effec tive list to the list of honorary members. Most of these have done good service in the past, but being from various causes no longer able to remain effi cients they have been very properly shifted to the honorary list, though with a nominal sacrifice to the effective strength, which, in making this allowance, remains about the same as it was last year. The " efficients" in 1867 were 402, against 338 in the previous year, and of these efficients 260 earned 1 -305. for the corps, against 205 in 1866. This is a satisfactory test of vitality and progress, and we find further that the percentage of effi ciency has increased from 46.39 per cent. in 1865 to 78.51 per cent. in 1867. Major Anson, then, had good reason for congratulating the corps that they, at all events, had done what they could to preserve the reality of volunteering. In answering certain criticisms, well meant, but hardly well founded, recently passed upon the value of the Volunteer force, Major Anson pointed out that the Volunteers could not have a separate orga nisation of the civil departments necessary for a field force. In c.ise of invasion the Volunteers would be brigaded with the regular army, and must be served, therefore, by the existing Commissariat, Transport, and Medical Departments. If those departments were not sufficiently expansive or not properly efficient, the Volunteers were not to blame, and he strongly repudiated the notion that the Volunteer force was nothing better than a sham. The list of their rifle matches in 1867 is honourable to the London Scottish, though even the famous marksmen whom they can send to the butts were not always victorious. Thus the 19th Middlesex ..and beat them in March by 1,235 marks to 1,220 ; Major Anson hoped that the victory did the to heMtihde dlesex men as much good a s the defeat did Scotchmen. In April the lauttee they followed f t o h l e lo S w t. ed G u eo p rg th e i s s corps by 116 marks; in June victory by beating the marksmen of the South Middle sex and the 2d Administrative Battalion of Middle sex Rifle Volunteers; but pride had a fall in July, for in a match of 20 on each side with the Ist ad ministrative battalion of a Staffordshire corps, they were handsomely whipped by 54 marks. Then ( came the wEßlcoit 6 el the corps at Wimbledon t who TWENTY-TWO SAILORS PICKED UP AT SEA.— Last Saturday afternoon the barque Britannia, Captain Greig, bound from the west coast of Africa for Liverpool, put into Holyhead, having on board twenty two men, being the master, Capt. Ferguson, and crew of the ship Ghazeepore, from Akyab, laden with rice for Liverpool. On Monday afternoon, at 4 p.m., the Britan nia, whilst 40 miles south of Cork, came up to the Gha zeepore, which was totally dismasted two days pre viously, and was in a leaky and sinking condition. The crew were put on board the Britannia with considerable difficulty. The Ghazeepore was 140 days trom Akyab. The crew on being landed at Holyhead proceeded on to Liverpool. RIOT AT PRAGUE.—An anti-German manifesta tion occurred in the capital of Bohemia on the 21st. M. Herbst had visited the city, and the German party gave him a dinner. Thereupon the Czechs mustered in great numbers outside the hotel, hissed, sang the Slavic songs, and shouted, "Slava! Slava !" "Hurrah for the Czar !'' Dr. Ringer, the Slavic champion, vainly tried to quiet them. The gendarmes were hooted. and the life of one, who was thrown from his horse, seemed in danger. At length a body of infantry appeared, but it was only when they came on with bayonets at the charge that the crowd gave way. Subsequently a fresh band of rioters broke the windows of the German theatre and sacked a café. Soldiers again marched, but the mob offered no resist ance. A battery was held in readiness, and strong pa trols moved about all night. THE MEMORIAL TO DR. JELF. —The Bishop of Lon don has consented to preside at a meeting of professors, past and present students, and others of King's Col lege, on Friday next, for the purpose of promoting a memorial to Dr. Jeff, who is about resigning the Principalship. . THE LONDON IRISH ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN.—Mr. Digby Seymour states that the result of the appeal he made last week to loyal Irishmen has been most assur ing and successful. Since then, he adds, a very great number of Irishmen of all classes, but principally of the working class, have added their names, with the voucher of their residences, to the loyal address to the Queen. I have during the week received numerous letters of the most gratifying character—some from the superintendents or managers of large mercantile concerns, requiring more sheets of the address to satisfy the voluntarily expressed desire of Irishmen on their premises to record their names ; some from bodies of Irishmen requesting me to forward the address for their signatures, some from employers of Irish labour or from Irish labourers themselves, thanking me for adopting a course which has in frequent instances restored mutual confidence, or checked a rising uneasiness ; many from persons prevented by sickness or other sufficient cause from per sonally signing the address, but asking me to at tach their names, and often enclosing a list of neigh - bours and friends, with a similar authority on their behalf ; all (except a few miserable anonymous pro ductions, full of vulgar insult or ruffianly menace) testifying to the good the work is doing, and encourag ing me to persevere it. lam happy to add that many who have hitherto declined to sign now frankly own that they view the proceeding in a different light, and acknowledge the benefit which the humbler classes of their countrymen must derive from the facilities afforded them of enrolling themselves with a hand of . loyal men who, loving their country, love their good Queen too ; who, resolving to obtain justice for Ire land, will seek it only by constitutional means ; re spectfully, earnestly, I once more implore my fellow countrymen to come forward and sign this Address." THE BISHOP OF MANCHESTER AND, TUE WORKING CLASSES. —On Saturday the Bishop of Manchester delivered an address at a special service on the occa sion of the rearing of St. Matthew's Church, Hyde road. At the close of the address, the main subject of which was the conversion of St. Paul, the bishop said he wished to say a few words to working men, of whom a large number were present. They were placed in awful times. The dreadful wickedness which travelled under the name of Fe . nisrn ought to be repudiated with disgust, loathing, r n.nt. The neglect t l i a dindio•nation by every honest and right-mind . ed so of public worship, the fearful i mmorality pe and intoxica tion which were so widely sp read, o ught for their own and their wives' and children's sakes to be openly and practically repudiated by them. But he had, further, to warn them as regarded their material prosperity. If it was true, he feared it was, that foreign competition was likely to interfere very seriously with our international trade_ ; if it was w true e that wood work, carpentry, and other things brought from foreig n countries at a lower price than they could be produced here, it was time for English workmen to be careful and look to their own. Efforts were being made to extend educa tion. tie took no part in the late confe'rence, not because he was not deeply interested in those efforts, but because, holding a seat in the highest chamber of the Legislature, he might be called upon to express an opinion hereafter. He appealed to any one who had watched his career whether he had ever been in different to the cause of education. He could look btrek to a long period in which his heart's fondest desire had been to see every person educated, self respecting, and God-fearing among his fellow-citizens and fellow -countrymen. They should themselves, in looking at the - real interest of their wives and children, be cultivating their minds by instruc tion, elevating their souls by piety, and leading them in the paths that lead to God ; and to show that they really appreciated the dignity of the British workman. He believed there was no one more respectable, more truly honourable, or whom any honest man could more completely take to his heart. As a fellow-worker, in his sphere with them, he commended tlieso o,oughts 04 0 ,W OWN Miliciggin. The proceedings at gie meeting ol RWal Geo phical Society held on Monday were unusually attractive, owing to the fact that an official report and a detailed narrative of Mr. Young's expedition to Africa in search of Dr. Livingstone were presented to the members. The whole credit of the search, as well as its successful issue, must be ascribed to the intrepid warrant officer who proposed, planned, and carried out the journey, the results of which he has had the privilege of personally presenting. From the first, be lieving that the statement of the Johanna men in reference to the fate of Livingstone was not to be relied on, they being notorious cowards and liars, Mr. Young was unable to rest until he had tested the value of his conviction. So thoroughly has he done this, that none but those who refuse to accept any proof except that of their own actual eyesight can yet hold the opinion that Livingstone was murdered as al le,-;ed. It is now demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that the great explorer had safely passed the spot where it Wa3 asserted his career had been violently arrested by the assassin's hand. The story pro mulgated by the Johanna men was that the doctor was killed and buried near the south-western course of Lake Nyassa, which, with its sister Lake Shirwa, lies on the east coast over against the Mozambique Channel. To reach this point, therefore, by doing which the truth or falsehood of the Johanna men's tale could be at once established, Mr. Young and the little expedition under his command set sail from Southampton, carrying with them a steel boat, specially designed by the above named officer, on the Bth of June. The steel boat, which has done such goodly service, was so constructed that with the greatest ease it could be taken to pieces and packed, either on board ship or carried across country, and re-fitted when its services were re quired for navigation. Pursuing his way up the Zambesi, a river which leads by the Shire to the Lake Nyassa, Mr. Young reached Shupanga on the 2nd of August. At this point a man less bold and determined might have paused to consider the advisability of proceeding, for tidings were rife of fierce wars that were raging up the country. The only effect these stories had on him, however, was to cause him somewhat to deviate from his proposedcourse by sailing a little higher up the Zambesi from the Shire's mouth to Sam, which place V 'reached on the 6th, having then with him, in addition to.the little baud he had taken from England, a boat'ilTsiw of 22 nagroes, who contracted to stick by him to the last, and who certainly did so, but in a future period of the journey made themselves great nuisances, being utterly useless when wanted. The channel of the Shire, which may be called the highway of the route, was entered by a cross stream from Senna, and after a delay caused by the absence of a sufficient wind, and a forced march of ninety miles performed in the space of four days, Chibisa was made on the 17th. Two days were given to inquiries here, and friendly relations were established with the chief of the tribe whose name has been given to the place. At the moment the expedition arrived, rumours that the Mavite and Mazite were in the vicinity, and in a warlike attitude, spread, terror amongst the Mukololo. This unquiet condition of the country exposed Mr. Young to some annoyance, an army of blacks, supposing him to be an enemy, endeavouring to stay his course. This little difficulty surmounted, by judicious conversation and the promise of future presents, Mr. Young, leaving the Ajavas behind him, reached Lake Nyassa, out of the eastern bay of which runs the Shire. On the 6th of Sep- tember two villages were found at this point, and here it was that the scent became very strong. The Johannamen had affirmed in the most determined manner that at one of these villages—Marenga—Livingstone was buried. Of his inquiries in the village of Maponda, on the other side, the journal kept by the- warrant officer con tains some most interesting and important particulars. He had an interview with a native who had been employed by the traveller to carry his goods at a date anterior to that at which it was stated he was killed. Other natives proved having seen Livingstone at the same time. Piece after piece of evidence was forthcoming to establish the fact that a year before the arrival of the expedition he had passed from Makata, after staying in the neielbour hood for three weeks, in perfect safety. One entry in Mr. Young's diary is to the effect that a native not only was able accurately to describe the doctor's own appearance, but also that of the dog which ac companied him. This dog, whose name was Jitani, had a peculiarity of tail which was known to all who had made his acquaintance. This the native spoke of, describing- the animal as a " dog with two tails." To fur ther test the accuracy of his information, Mr. Young took one of the men to the boat and showed him a " breech. loader" and another gun. The man immediately stated that the person of whom he spoke was possessed of similar articles. A Prayer-book, with Livingstone's name, and a scarf, given to an old woman, were produced for Mr. Young's inspec tion. He also found amongst the natives some Seidlitz powders and other medicines, some of which he has brought back with him. Added to all the above testi mony was the assurance of the chief at Marenga that he had tidings of the traveller for a whole month after lie left in the northward path. The Johanna men, it must be borne in mind, had returned through the village after two days' march with Livingstone. After spending twenty days in visiting the vicinities of Lake Nyassa, Mr. Young left on the 20th of September, assured that Livingstone had gone forward northward on his journey in safety. • THE YORKSHIRE VOLUNTEERS.—In the West Riding, out of a total enrolled force of 6,512, the effectives number 5,436 ; in the North Riding 1,684 were enrolled, and 1,292 are effectives ; and in the East Riding 627 are effectives in a total of 885. Lord Westbury has been asked to take his seat at the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, where the arrears of cases are very considerable. His lordship is to arrive in London on the 3rd of February for that purpose. The council of the Aeronautical Society have decided upon holding an exhibition in London of objects connected with aeronautical science, in the month of June. Arrangements have been made for the exhibition to be held at the Crystal Palace. By the last China mail Mr. Whompoa, the hospitable Chinese merchant at Singapore, sent £5O to the Royal Naval Scripture Readers' Society. This is the third donation of a like amount bestowed by this kind-hearted and charitable Chinaman on royal naval associations. We have to record the death of Caroline Eliza beth, wife of Mr. H. Hussey Vivian, M.P., who died on Saturday last, at Park Wem, after a lingering illness. The lamented lady, who *as in her 33th year, was the only daughter of Sir Montague J. Cholmeley, Bart., M.P. Mr. A. M. Skinner, Q.C., judge of the Wolver hampton County Court, lately remarked, in the course of the hearing of a case, that the working classes had driven the trade from the country by their strikes. He shud dered to think of the trade of Old England being given to foreigners. The first attempt to desecrate churchyards by the erection of memorial crosses in honour of the men executed at Manchester has been promptly put down by the Irish constabulary. A cross was put up in the graveyard of Rathowen by, as the Weekly News states, the Roman Catholic inhabitants ; but it was immediately pulled down and cut to pieces by a constable, while an officer and some members of the forca stood by to protect him. The magistrates of Limerick have fined a sub constable £4 for making a false arrest of a respect a bl e farmer, on the pretence that he was a suspicious character. The sub-inspector i n char g e of the p olice p art y pressed the p improperly. It is the o n l y i nstance of any alleged misconduct on the part o f th e constabulary during a r d s c a c c u t e ti d n f e eling it his duty to punisli th e man who s all the. period that extraordinary powers have been en trusted to them, and great - temptations offered to indulge personal feelings if they entertained them. FRA.UDS IN BANKRUPTCY. —The wholesale City tea-dealers have instituted a prosecution, under the Bank ruptcy Act of 1861, against certain recent bankrupts who have been obtaining goods to a large amount, no less than £2.000, fradulently. The 221st of the Act makes it an offence for any trader within three months of the filing of his petition to have obtained any goods upon credit, other wise than in the bond fide transactions of his regular trade or business. The two persons accused, Messrs. Hannah and Patterson, have, it is alleged, carried on a systematic scheme of fraud in contravention of this clause. The case has been partly heard at the Mansion House, and the pri• soners remanded. A ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP ON FEMALE ATTIRE. —The Rev. Dr. Goss, Roman Catholic Bishop of Liver pool, has followed the example set by his Holiness the Pope in censuring the extravagant style of attire adopted by the fair sex of the present day. Ladies, said the bishop, were accustomed to have a large ball stuck on the backs of their heads, formed of the hair of deceased per sons generally. Now, "dead hair" did not preserve its colour, and one had only to look at the first lady they met to detect the difference between the real and the sham article. His own attention was first called to the abomi nations by noticing the difference of colour they exhibited; but such was the fondness of the ladies for these shams that he could quite believe the account he had read in a French paper (while travelling from Vichy to Paris) of a French lady who flew into a violent rage when a man, seeing her chignon had been set in a flame by a spark from a railway engine, had torn it off her head, and con sickraielY qiinsiahed the conalmatible DAN qt Wee hair.
