IEOPLE of ENGLAND !—lf you desire to know what doctorcraft really is, just look at the "Medical Times and Gazette" of Saturday, Sept. 5, page 250, in which it is proposed by a doctor to put the whole country under a system of syphilisation. We are perfectly astonished 'how any respectable medical journal can devote two of its editorial pages to such an in famous idea; however, se it is, and the public will always be liable to such impositions, until the only t.ao system be adopted, viz., " that the blood is the life, and its impurity the cause of all diseases." Then comes the question as to which is the proper mode of purifying the stream of life, and on that point experience teaches that it can only be effectually accomplished by proper vegetable purgation.

(Cheers.) I am sure nothing can be more gratifying than the sight which you have all witnessed this evening. Some of the pupils who have received the well deserved prasse of your applause, as well as the premium and certificates, are of the most tender age. There was one of 15, another of 14, one or two at 16, and ono as young as 12 ; and that youngest of all, to my astonishment, receives a prize for his progress in the knowledge of social economy. (Hear, and cheers.) It is much too late now to raise any question—though I am, unfortunately, old enough to remember much question being raised upon it —or even to whisper any doubt of the right of the bulk of our fellow countrymen, of all ranks and classes, to receive not only ordinary instruction, but also sound instruction on the subject in which the working classes have the greatest interest of all--I mean political philosophy, the knowledge of social subjects, and the improvement of our laws, in the amendment of which no class has so immediate—l will say immediate—an interest as the working classes - themselves. I do hope and trust, though it is much too far for these good men to go themselves, that I shall meet, when I go in the capacity of president of the congress to be held at Birmingham in the middle of next month on the subject of all the improvements that have taken place, and are about to take place, and are in contemplation, in matters connected with the social interests of the community—what may be called social economy—l hope and trust I shall have the happiness on that occasion of meeting some re presentatives of the classes of our working men in this great town of Manchester. I have said that there are some things less palatable, but more wholesome, than mere congratulations • and there fore T am about to address a few words partly to the working men themselves—those classes from which come the pupils who have been rewarded this evening, and partly to the employers of those classes and the patrons and supporters of these in stitutions. First, with respect to the institutions themselves. It is a good and safe rule that they should not attempt too much. In many p 1 ices at tempting lectures has been a failure. I was not aware until I came here yesterday, and particularly till I heard the report which Mr. Morris has read this evening, to how great an extent lectures bad in this part of the kingdom been of late a failure. But that which is no failure, which requires very much less funds to support it, less trouble and en treaty among the working classes to get them to attend, is the furnishing of good, usefu, and inte resting books for them to read. The plan of the itinerating liberaries has been so successful that in whatever town or village the itinerant library so journs for three or four weeks in the course of its progress there is no other book in demand in that place, so much homage is paid to the judicious se lection of the works which load those boxes of the itinerating library. It is remotely connected with that remark that I should make an observation by way of advice to all the 100 institutions connected in the counties of Lancashire and Cheshire. I would strongly inculcate the absolute necessity of the most careful attention to regular proceedings in point of finance, so as never to have any confusion in the accounts—never auyinaccuracy, eitherin the keeping of them, or the applying of th e fund s , or i n the raising of the funds: and at once to stop, as it is their duty, as well as their interest, when they find that any fund ; is clefs, ient, and not to go on with the expense one month or day beyond the time they can afiard it. I have known so much mischief to arise from the neglect of this rule, which is not only the rule of policy, but of that which is the best policy, the rule of honesty itself—and I am allud ing to no institution whatever in Lancashire, Che shire, or Yorkshire, or the four northern counties, but further to the southward there have been the greatest possible mischiefs arising from the neglect of this rule, and from not remembering, not only generally and vaguely that which all men are very apt to admit, that " honesty is the best policy;" but that the rule ought to be, "Owe no man anything;" and that as soon as you find you cannot go on with out defrauding your Creator of his due, for that is the real meaning of it, it is your duty to stop and wind up, and say, " We find we have no funds for going further." Through the neglect of this plain and obvious rule institutions are about to be given up, not only to the great injury of those who might, had they still been carried on judiciously, fairly, and regularly, have continued to profit by them, but to the great disrepute of the whole system, which the enemies, if any such still there are, of popular in struction are quite sure to lay hold of and turn against us. This last rule which I have urged is applicable to the working classes themselves, but there aro also one or two other remarks which I would fain address to them. There are two courses of conduct of which I won't say that I should rigorously and without any possibility of exception require one to be the rule, but as to which somewhere about a middle course might be taken. We have often heard of two classes of men—one making a pleasure of business and the other proceeding on aperfectly opposite principle, making a business of pleasure. And those classes adopt two different forms of a very old proverb which sets forth that " home is home, be it never so homely." Oue class adopts that form, but the other is rather disposed to say "home is homely, be it never so home "—(laughter)—and accordingly wo see not a few instances in the upper as well as the working classes of persons anxious as often as they can to leave their home, either for innocent amusments, or for the tavern, or the alehouse, or the gaming -house. I am very far from saying that I would rigorously interdict all moving from home, all going up and down upon different occasions, in moderation, innocently, prudently ; or from re quiring that men should belong to that class of which there are but few members, who make a plea sure of their business ; on the contrary, I think there is an old proverb which says, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." But our amuse ment should always be subordinate to business, and even instruction itself, the slaking the thirst of knowledge, should be make subordinate to the avocations of necessary work. The first duty of man is to provide for his own independence by his own work, and not either to amuse himself or in dulge in any gratification—not even in that more than innocent, most sacred gratification, of assuag ing his thirst for knowledge, until he has done his day's work, and done that which is his bounden duty as 'well as his highest interest to do, work with his own bands for the provision of himself and his family. (Cheers.) And when I talk of working men—l am myself, and have been all my life a working man—(great cheering)—and as long as I am blessed with health enough to continue, even at my advanced time of life, I shall continue to la bour—(cheers)--and I shall never henceforth, any more than I have done, partake of any relaxation, not even in gratifying my thirst for knowledge, until I have earned the right to do it by having done my day's work. There aro other rules as to which I would allow no compromise, no middle course 'whatever, and they are the maxims which ought to preside over a man's whole employment of his time. The one is to do one thing at a time only ; the next is never to put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day ; and the third, always to finish one thing before you begin another. A very great and mast celebrated man in Holland—De Witt—was once asked how it happened that he got through so much business and of such varied kind, for he was not only a great statesman, and a Mini ster, but also a most eminent mathematician and a literary man ; and his answer was that it was by two rules which ho always observed—to do one thing only at a time, and never to put off till to morrow what he could do to-day. These were his golden rules. I knew a great statesman, now no more, of another country, who used to say, on the "Never to do to-day sorrow." (Laughter.) w o thhaetr you put could i s i p )u r i t n o c ff i p t l i e l l w t a o n , And when I cried out against this as a most hetero dox political deadens he gave me half a dozen in stances in which advantage had occurred from his wasy of pleasantry than no recommenda tion continual procrastination of measures that were pressed upon him. These were certainly the ex ceptions to the rule. I admit that he urged his anything perverse else, and tion of it that he could produce so few inst a nces in its favour. (Hear.) Having detained yon s o l ong , I will not now say much on the great adva n tage of mrat l he t r hi v t a regular habits and of strict attention not merely to what is commonly called honesty, which of course no man doubts it is his bounden duty as well as his highest interestto adhere to, buttoguarding against those irregularities which degenerate into disho nesty, though when first admitted theyseem to have no appearance at all analogous to it. Let me only add one word on the absolute necessity that, as at Carlisle and in other parts of the northern counties, the rule should be for all institutions to be self supporting, as otherwise they could not beyond a very short time be continued at all. I hope you will excuse me for having detained you so long, and perhaps so superfluously, on the present occasion, but I could not do otherwise, when I had the hap piness of finding myself once more among you, than give vent to those feelings which I have of gratification at what has occurred hero this night, and the sight of these intellectual young men carrying off the prizes, and also of making a small return, the only return I could make to you for your kind attention, by, giving utterance to one or two maxims which are always admitted in general terms, but which in practice are very much too often neglected. (Loud cheers.) • The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the noble Lord for presiding on this occasion, which was moved by Mr. Brown, M.P., and seconded by Mr. Cheetham, M.P. D.R. LIVINGSTON ON THE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS OP AFRICA. Yesterday morning Dr. Livingston, the African traveller, met the members of the Chamber of Com merce, Commercial Association, and Cotton Supply Association, at the Town-Hall, Manchester, and had a most warm and hearty reception. There were a number of ladies present. Sir James Watt 4, Mayor of Manchester, presided ; and on the plat form were—Mr. Cheetham M.P., Mr. J. A. Tur ner, M.P., Mr. Hadfield, M.P. r. 11. Ashworth, Mr. E. Ashworth, , Mr. J. C. Barter, and Mr. M. Ross. The MAYOR having introduced Dr. Livingston to the meeting, Mr. H. ASHWORTii presented the following ad dress to the distinguished visitor : "Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures, Manchester, Sept 9. _ _ Sir,—The directors of this chamber beg to assure you of their heartiest welcome to this city. They have contemplated with feelings of the highest satisfaction the labours in which you have been engaged in Africa in promoting the extension of civilisation and of Christi anity, and they siocsrely congratulate you upon the beneficial results of your exertions. " Believing that commerce and industry may be iden tified with civilisation and Christianity, the directors of this chamber are desirous of expressing to you their strong conviction that cotton and other agricultural products which are required in this country, may, with great advantage to the native African, be grown by Lin; to exchange for British manufactures, and by ercourag ing pursuits of productive labour they submit that mis sionary objects may be supported, while the material comfort and enjoyment of the people of Africa may be rendered commensurate with those reasonable desires which increased intelligence always suggests. "On your return to the arduous 'labours iii which you have been engaged you need not be toll that you are ac companied by the warmest wishes and ?qui wiL - ,bies of your friends, who ardently commend you to the care of a wise Providence, in the firm reliance that your renewed mis sion will be attended with abundant blessings. • "I have the honour to be, on behalf of the directors of this Chamber of Commerce, Sir, your raest obedient servant, " THOMAS BAZLEIT, President. "To the Rev. Dr. Livingston, Sce.'' _ _ Dr. LIVINGSTON, in reply, returned h's warmest thanks for the welcome thus offered hen, and said the approbation of the merchants of Mancheeter afforded a powerful stimulus to the further prosecu tion of his efforts. (Hear.) He agreel with them cordially in the sentiment that the Africans ought to be encouraged to cultivate the raw in aerials of English manufactures ; and he was so fully can• vinced of the elevating tendency of lawful commerce, together with the probable influence which the course specified promised to have on the slave trade and slavery, that he promised to devo the next few years of his life to special efforts in that direction. (Hear, hear, and applause.) A peculiir and rather annoying combination of circumstaficos had placed the great Anglo-American race, on which un doubtedly the hopes of the world for liberty and progress Tested, in a very trying position. Our demands for sugar and cotton were daily in creasing, those demands were at present met in great measure by slave labour ; but the great body of Anglo-Americans would unquestionably prefer to have their wants supplied by free men, and be ventured to hope that the discovery of a new region, well adapted for raising those articles, might be a providential opening for enabling us to escape from our anomalous position. Before attempting to give some idea of this new field for commercial enter prise, it might bementioned that, while he proposed to try to make the Zambesi river a permauent path to the inland region, with a view to the wide diffu sion of civilisation and Christianity, and endeavour ing to link the interests of the African with our own, he had felt that it would not be right in him to do this at the expense of those who contributed their money for purely religious purposes ; but the gentlemen he now addressed, in common with others, had contributed handsomely, in the way of testimonial funds, to relieve his mind from care with respect to his family—(cheers)—and he begged to tender them his very grateful acknowledgments. (Cheers.) Mr. J. CHEETEIA3I 7 M.P., said, all he had to say was to assure the rev. doctor that not only in this great city, but also in the county of Lancaster, so intimately associated with mercantile interests, his labours and discoveries were appreciated as they ought to be by an intelligent community. (Hear.) It was true that, at the present moment, this dis trict was particularly interested in one article of produce which the Doctor assured them might be cultivated in the regions he had traversed, but they did not wish to confine their interest to that specific article. As commercial men, they were desirous to take notice of the whole cultivation of those regions, and as Christians they wished him God speed in the great labour which he had undertaken. (Applause.) It had been suggested that, in order to elicit the information which he Doctor was de sirous of giving them, he should propose to him a series of questions. He had first to ask Dr. Living ston what were the peculiar productions of the dis tricts which he had visited ? _ Dr. LIVINGSTON, Villo;eferred toamap suspended on the platform, said, it would be observed that the country through which the Zambesi flowed was abundantly watered by the numerous rivers which joined it. South of lat. 20 deg. there was a country remarkably destitute of water, where one might travel four full days without obtaining a single drop of water, there being no rivers south of that line ; but the country to the north of it was totally different. While in the south the vegetation was altogether thorny, there being a prodigious num ber of different kinds of thorns, the northern and well-watered country produced a vegetation with out thorns. The majority of tho trees there were evergreens ; many of them had the appearance of laurels and orange trees. In that country there were a great many different kinds of fruits, most of which he believed to be totally unknown to Europeans. He brought home about 25 or 26 different kinds of fruit, some of which were valuable as yielding oil ; and, in the central part of the country. called Lunda, where the seeds were abundant, the fleshy part was eatable, and the oil was used by the natives for anointing their b)dies. Among so great a variety doubtless some must be good for food, though, perhaps, from having been usually pretty hungry, he could not be supposed to be a very good judge. (Laughter.) Nearer to the coast, eastwards, the people cultivated large quantities of cucumbers, and their best salad oil was made from the seeds of cucumbers. Throughout the whole country the ground-nut was cultivated in large quantities—used as food and for oil ; and they had castor oil throughout the country, their only use for it being to anoint their heads and bodies, though it was not a very agreeable unguent. Mr. CIIEETHA.M then inquired as to the dyes known in the country. Dr. LIVINGSTON said, in Angola the natives know of a very great many different dyes, which they were not very willing to make known toEuropeans. The Columba root was largely exported by the Ame ricans as a dye stuff; and grew along the Zambesi. Besides this there was throughout the country in digo—the kind called the silver indigo—with which tho people dyed their clothes, and which grew wild, for it was not at all cultivated. The only exporta tion of it was by the Portuguese who lived at Tete, but it might be exported abundantly. In reference to cotton Dr. LIVINGSTON added, that very large quantities of it were cultivated by the natives, and one small dietriet, between the rivers Conza and Loanda, produced 1,300 cloths annually, of cotton grown by the natives, s pun by the women, and woven by the men. In the great valley to the east of Angola the grass was generally so high that, when on his ox, he was obliged to hol d up his hand to keep it out of his eyes. The natives never employed any manure, and the more the ' ground was worked the more fel tile it became. The whole of Angola, if it had been this hands of Eng lishmen, for its size, would have produced much more co tton and sugar than any part of iho Southern States of America. (Hear.) Mr. OHEETHAINI--Then, with reference to hemp and flax ? Dr:' LIVINGSTON said corning down the Zambesi to Tee he found that somehow o • othe: inform tion had got out there that the Times newspaper ad offered a reward of 1,0001. for a fibre propel for making paper, His opin on r; as asked whether . - LORD PROUGHAM AT MANCHESTER. On Tuesday evening the Bight Hon. Lord Brougham attended the annual meeting of the In stitutional Association of Lancashire and Cheshire, at the Mechanics' Institution, Manchester, on the invitation of the committee of management, for the purpose of presenting the prizes awarded to pupils at the late annual examination. His Lordship was accompanied by Sir B. Heywood, Bart., Mr. Cheetham, M.P., Mr. W. Brown, M.P.,. and Mr. Crook, M. P., and was received on entering with loud cheers. His Lordship having taken the chair, Mr. D. MORRIS read the annual report of the in stitution, which stated that 100 literary, mechanics' and mutual improvement societies were in the as n, containing an aggregate of 19,880 male and 2,150 female, exclusive of day scholars. The libraries contain 160,800 volumes, and the evening classes were attended by 8,050 males and 500 fe males. Answers to questions to each institute, as to what were the most attractive features, reported that in 30 it was the reading-room, in 28 the classes, iu 11 the library, in two the lectures, in two the s 7 nging, and in one (the Patricroft) the coffee—only 75 having answered the question. There had been 60 members passed at the annual examination, to whom Lord Brougham now, with the assistance of Dr. Hudson, presented prizes'and certificates. Among them were four young women, one of whom, at Pendleton, had learnt to write in six months, that she might correspond with her husband, a soldier. Lord BROUGHAM, who rose amid great cheering, then said—l am sure that all who are here pre sent will approve what I have just done, though be attempt has been unsuccessful—namely to call upon the excellent member for this county, Mr. W. Brown to express himself what I know he feels, but rather delegates to me the expression of—his great satisfaction at what he has seen and heard this evening. When I name Mr. Brown I name one who has been a most steady and most effective and I will add, a most munificent patron of public edu - cation—(cheers)—not only by the priZes which ho has given —part of those which have just been dis tributed being his gift—but also by that great act of his in the—l won't call it the neighbouring, still less the rival, but the friendly town of Liverpool— (cheers)—a greater act of munificence than which I never have either seen or heard. (Cheers.) Now, when last I had the pleasure of addressing you, not in this building, but in the former residence of the Mechanics' Institution, 22 years ago, I took leave to state that there were some things less palatable, but more wholesome, than mere vague commenda tion and. congratulation—somethings which resem ble certain drugs that are bitter to the taste, but may yet—they do'not always, Heaven knows, pro duct) a good effect ; and one of those things was to find fault where fault ought to be found, at the same time that commendation was given where praise was due. Upon that occasion I certainly had great reason—l won't say to blame, but to ex press my regret at the very small progress among our brethren of the working classes which mechan ics' institutes, apprentice libraries, and establish ments of that most useful, and I. will even add most necessary description, had. then made, and I said that many years before that, and it is now upwards of 35 years since, we who had the first band in es tablishing mechanics' institutions in this country had foundvery great reason to lament the indiffer ence with which at first the working-classes of our fellow subjects received the boon that was held out to them, and the slowness with which, even after years and years had elapsed, they profited by these institutions. 1 am most happy to find that since that year 1835 there has been very great progress made in this country, as well as elsewhere, in ex tending the benefits of such institutions among those classes for whom they were more especially intended. At the time to which I referred, in 1824 1 or 1825, when I took the liberty of issuing an ad dress to tho working classes and their employers, I stated that it was absolutely necessary, in order to induce the former to take kindly to such institu tions, that the management of them should more or less be left in their hands—(hear)—andit was proposed that the rule should be that something like two-thirds or three-fourths, of the committee I of management should consist of the working men themselves. (Hear.) To a certain degree this suc ceeded, but I afterwards found that my friends in Carlisle and in other parts of Cumberlanclbut par ticularly in Carlisle, for there it had its origin, had carried it further. My friend Dr. Elliott, who was, I think, afterwards mayor of the city, and was long an eminent practitioner there, and a warm friend of such institutions—he and his friends there had established as the absolute and peremptory rule that the whole managing committee, without any exception whatever, unless it were sometimes a chairman or vice-chairman, should consist of men living by weekly wages. Not that those men in their committee would anyhow disdain the aid that might be offered them, either by advice or by—l won't say more substantial aid, for good advice may be the most valuable of assistance, but by presents of books, or machinery, or money ; on the contrary, they would most thankfully and respectfully receive such presents, as also any hints and suggestions that might accompany them; but the rule was as I have said, and I should speak of it as the Cum berland rule, because it has been extended to other institutions than those of Carlisle, and with the most perfect success. I have made inquiries as to the present state of that question to which I am now referring, the question of these institu tions being found to benefit not merely . the middle classes and the upper classes of society, as in too many places they have been found to do. Not that I complain of their giving that bene fit ; quite the contrary, for the more instruction and education are promoted among those classes, so much the better; but my complaint was, and our complaint at that time generally was, that the be nefit was confined to those classes, and did. not reach our humbler follow-citizens. I have made in quiries as to the present state of the casein Carlisle. I find that the mechanics' institution founded iu 1837, 20 years ago, before this rule was established, has an excellent library, and excellent room, and 500 members, of whom only 25 are working men. Then comes 1848, when this rule was first intro ducer], and another institution was established, which has 250 members, of whom 224 aro men sup porting themselves by weekly wages, only 6 of the whole number being other than working men. They h a a li v b e ray a r library of 1,200 volumes. In 1849 another institutiou was established, with a reading-room and of 1,000 volumes. Here there are 150 members, all of whom receive weekly wages. And there are oilier institutions—one of '7O members, another . of 90, an o th er o f 36 , ano th er o f 30, an d an other of 12, maki ng a lt oget h er, w i t h th e 25 i n th e original mechanics' institution of 1837, about 640 working men in th e c it y o f C ar li s l e. A s i m il ar re suit has taken place in my own immediate neigh bourhood of Penrith, and other places in that part of the Fouotry, and it has extended very much into the neighbouring counties of Northumberland and Durham. But in the instance of Carlisle alone 640 working men attending al mos t every even i ng i n the week a reading room, and benefiting by the excel lent libraries—that number, in a population of 30,000 gives a proportion which, if it were equalled in the town where I have now the happiness of ad dressing you, would be answered by 8,000 or 9,000 working men. But lam sorry to say thi s i s b y no means tne proportion in Manchester, for I believe the number is not much above 2,000 in this town. In the other towns in your district, such as Stock port and Bolton, and others which are connected with the association whose i prizes we hav e thi s evening presented to the pupils, there is, i n propor tion to the number of inhabitants, a considerably greater number of working men titan there are in Manchester itself ; but that is always the case with very large towns. But that very great progress is making in all branches of education there cannot be the least doubt, and one circum stance which I have heard with the greatest satis faction proves it more than any other. It is that within the last 10 or 12 years those admirable in stitutions the Sunday schools are no longer re• stricted to more instruction on the Lord's day, but instruct their pupils on the week days also, so that hundreds, and I hope very soon wo shall sty the report was true. The only answer he could give was that if the Times bad said it the 10001. was certain if they could only get the proper fibre. He then advised them to got some of the fibres they had in abundance, which might be used in the ma nufacture of paper. They brought a kind of aloe, and another soft fibrous sub Stance found round the roots of the wild date Arm Neither of these would be good for the purpose; but they likewise brought another termed " buaze," which he had known simply, as used fox making threads to string beads upon. In other parts the sinews of animals were used for that purpose ; but this root was quite as strong, and when one attempted to break it it felt as ifs it would 'cut the finger. He brought home some of it, and presented it to Pye Brothers, in Lombard-street, who put it through their new process fur treating such fibres, and they gave it as their opiuiou, after consulting one of the first manu facturers in Leeds, that the fibre was finer and stronger than flax, and it was worth between 501. and 601. a ton. This plant was probably not known to botanists at all. It was said to grow abundantly on the north bank of the Zambesi, but was never cultivated. The north bank was mu3h more fer tile than the south bank. Mr. CHEETIII3r.—YOII have alluded to cotton on the west coast ; is any grown on the east ? Dr. LIVINGSTON said it grew abundantly on the west, and that was far -the best field for cotton. On the - east it was cultivated a little, but it was not so good. It clung to the seed, and an iron' roller had to be - used to separate it. The quantity. grown on the east side was very much smaller than that on the west side, but the natives had.. never been induced to cultivate cotton ; they had' tever been offered anything for it, and they only cultivated a little to make clothes for them- 1 selves. He believed if they had a market they would cultivate largely, for wherever they had the opportunity of selling anything they immediately began to collect it. There was a trade between Loando and Brazil in wax, which was necessary for the churches in Brazil. This trade had been deve loped in Angola and in the central country of Lunde as they passed through the dense forests, he and: his party observed that the natives had placed hives every few hundred yards between the trees, and seemed to collect every ounce of wax. The Portuguese gave a very good price for it in Aegela. The country abounded in honey, and the travellers were called by the honey bird three or four times a day. It invited persons to follow it and take the honey ; and his (Dr. Livingston's) mon got a good deal of it. This had never been made an article of export. Some of his men en deavoured, without success, to sell their wax at ' Tete. If they had a market he believed the na tives would cultivate articles of produce with eagernes. (Hear.) When he travelled in that cen tral country, endeavouring to find a path to the sea, he found the natives wore equally anxious t o get to the SIA, to have traffic with the white men. It was a Fong way from Tete, and by the time he got there all his goods were expended, but the chief fitted him. oir, with 15 oxen and canoes, and 27 men, and soot presents of butt?r and fat to the chiefs in Leando. The men went all the way to Loando without hope or wages, though he after wards paid them. While there they worked and collected all they could to take back to their own country of articles from the white mon's country, where everything beautiful came from ; and though, owing continual detentions, sometimes by his . own fever and sometimes that of his Men, they re turned as poor as they set out, they were received with the greatest kindness, becans) they had opened up the path. The people had no idea that sugar could be got from the sugar-cane, although the sugar-cane abounded in their country, and when he told them of it the chief asked him to make seine. He (Dr. Livingston) explained that it could only be done by a machine. Then, asked the chief, would he Urine , him a machine from his own country 1 He explained that he was a poor man, and it required something con siderable to purchase one. The chief replied, " Why the whole of the ivory of the country is yours, and if you leave any of it it is your fault." (Laughter.) The chief (rive him a commission to the east coast, and fitted him out well a second time, all in the hope of having intercourse with the white men. (Hear.) Mr. CIIEETHA3I—Can you give us any informa tion as to the cereals ? Dr. LIVINGSTON said wheat had never been tried in the central country. The Portuguese came to Angola to make a little money, and to go back to Portugal, and they devoted themselves entirely to the trade in ivory and beeswax. The country produced beautiful wheat, and he saw it growin g on the high lands with ears the length of his hand. The high land produced it without irrigation, and it might be grown there to almost any extent. It was quite remarkable that the Portuguese (Vd not cultivate it, because they paid the Americans handsomely for all the flour and biscuits they con sumed, and he found they had Irish butter from Cork. The east side of the country also produced wheat. The Zambesi overflowed large tracts of country annually, like the Nile. The Portuguese had bee=n in the habit of cultivating the wheat on that side of the country ; all it required was that a slave woman with a little hoe should make a hole in the ground, drop a few seeds in, and push back the soil with her foot. In four months there was a crop of beautiful wheat. This simple operation answered all the purposes of our subsoiling, plough inc,, draining, liming, and manuring. The higher they b went up the better the wheat was. At Zumbo the grain was twice the size it was at Tete, where it was rather small. it had never been tried in the high lands in the interior. The country ascended eastward from the west coast to a height of 5,000 feet above the sea ; then it descended into the central valley, where the rivers on both sides con tributed to the Zambesi in the middle, and this river flowed from north to south, leaving the valley by a fissure or creek in the ridge of thirty miles long, which formed the most beauti ful sight he bad seen in Africa. There were two ridges on th it side of the valley, one of 5,000 feet. The bottom of the valley and the coasts wore very unhealthy, but the high lands were very healthy. The central hollow. contained herbage excessively rank. The healthy ridges were remark ably well adapted for the production of grain. The natives cultivated a kind of millet, often called Caffre corn ; another kind of millet, somewhat larger, and likewise our own millet. Mr: CHEETHANI.—Did you find any sheep or goats' wool ? - Dr. LIVINGSTON thought the only wool he had seen was on the heads of the people. (Laughter.) The sheep there had hair instead of wool, and the men's heads had wool instead of hair. (Applause mad laughter.) However, inland from Benguela, there was a long stretch of cold elevated country, where the sheep actually had wool, and cattle flourished remarkably well. Mr. CHEETIIAM—What did you see of metallic) produce ? Dr. LIVINGSTON said, throughout the country there appeared to be plenty of knives, axes, and hoes, and no it the sea there were igneous rocks shot up, with fine iron ore. Tho Portuguese Government employed the natives in working iron. At Kasembi a good deal of malachite was found. lie had "not seen copper ore in its proper place. A number of the native hoes had le2en made into an Enfield rifle for him (Dr. Livingston) at Birming ham, the maker pronouncing the metal very good, resembling, but not equal to, Swedish or Russian iron. It abounded along the Zambesi. Iu reply to subsequent inquiries, Dr. LIVING STON said there were extensive tracts of forest land. There were nine seams of coal. lle examined one near Tete, which was about 68 inches iu diameter ; the coal having been tilted to the surfac e b y vol canic action. Lieut. Hoskins, who had command real China, t h had of of one of the gunboats now given his opinion that the bar the Zambesi was no impedime nt to commercial pur gaotntehe to poses, as there were 22 fee t of water u p on it ; a nd though the river was rather tortuous he would n o t hesitate to take up a steamer of the same capacity as his gunb)at. The river was at the flood during four or live months of the year. Mr. CHEETIIA3I.—What article, as a medium of co mmerce, could the natives best cultivate at the present moment ? Dr. LIVINGSTON believed cotton would be the beat end that they wou ld cultivate were assured ured of a market. Now t for theytct begin m, w that they had abundan ce o f l and they did * not feel the necessity of improved cultivation. He de scribed the feeling of the natives as strongly in favour of the English, whom they contrasted fa vourably with Borg and Portuouese. In the west the population was very much Milder in character than in the east ; the possession of a single cannon was quite to )ugh to overawe a whole district. As to the effect of the climate on the English constitu ion, the nioA important point he had ascertained was that there were two healthy ridges in the country. The Portuguese authorities had treated him with the greatest kindness, and appeared to regard his label - lA.B.as favourable to the extension of their commerce. In Angola skilled labour was t be had for 4d. a-day, field labour for 2d., and he • _ , ) 7(-7 //~ 1W S PAPER ...."'", ~..LF ...... I*.l ~:11 ti : %'-,_..), 'i : , •`'.

A S lie proposed, on going back, to di,tribute coi,t9n seeds among all the chiefs on the banks of the iiver, and endeavour to give the impression that all the produced would be purchased. The beginning must necessarily be small and not profitable, but he thought if the natives could be engaged in law ful commerce it would put au end to the slave trade in all that central region.. (Cheers.) Mr. J. A. TURNER, M.P:,.exiireseil, on behalf of the commercial community, their thanks to Dr. Livingston for his visit, and for the interesting de- ' tails into which he had entered at this meeting. He moved : ~ ~- ~~~ "That this meeting desires to express their warmest thanks to Dr. Livingstonforthheisivniispitorttoan/ecleanocfhehsitserd,it6e. record their appreciation of coveries, their high sense of his noble exertions for the extension of knowledge, as well as his self-devotion in again seeking to visit those hitherto unexplored countries with a view to their civilisation by the aid of Christi anity and eel:amerce ; that, feeling a deep interest in the self-denying labours of Dr. Livingston, this meeting ear nestly requests Her Majesty's Government will place at kis disposal a steamboat, duly appointed and capable of ascending the navigable portion of the Zambesi, with such further accommodation in the boats and otherwise as may be deemed sufficient for the expiration of its tributaries, and for obtaining and retainf friendly re lations with thr natives of that interesting region ; and the public bodies now assembled pledge themselves to use their utmost exertions for the promotion of these ob jects; that this meeting desires to impress on her Majes ty's Government their.earnest desire that the aid of. the Portuguese Government should be specially reque;sted towards facilitating in every possible manner the further researches of .

Turner, M.P., and Mr. T. Bazley." He expressed a strong hope that the government would afford the same aid in exploring the Zim besi as they had to the - Niger" expeditions. Tho object was of national importance, and it was hardly reasonable that all should' be left to' private ekertion, or private mercantile capital, to developo a country in which much would have to be dune before commercial operations could be fairly entered upon. . _ Mr. G. lIA.DFIELD, M.P., in seconding the reso lution, pointed to the facts detailed by Dr. Living ston,,as showing how little this great commercial country had yet drawn upon the resource's of the world. We were complaining of a want of cotton and silk, and other products, and yet what an in exhaustible world .he great Giver of all seemed to have bestowed if we only made a right use of it. The motion was carried with applause. Dr. LIVINGSTON wished briefly to express his sense of the great kindness Lord Clarendon had alrealy shown him, and especially by the interest he took in his safety while in Africa. Mr. EDMUND ASHAVOItTII moved a vote of thanks to the mayor for presiding. Mr. J. CIIEETIIAM, M.P., in seconding the mo tion contrasted the importance of the di scover i to be male in Africa to this country with wh et could have resulted by the discovery of the North- West Passage, on which such vast sums had been expended. From a conversation he had had with a person recently connected with the exploration of the interior of Australia he gathered that the cen tre of that great continent could sever sustain a population, but, from what Dr. Livingston had seen, it appeared that the interior of Africa in some places was well watered, and capable of supplying products of vast importance to the commerce and happiness of the rest of the world. (Hear.) The motion was carried, and the meeting then separated. Dr. Livingston was to address a meeting in the evening on the missionary prospects in Africa. CRYSTAL PALACE HORTICULTURAL FETE. The second exhibition in the Crystitl Palace, for the present season, of flowers, plant, fruits, &0., commenced yesterday, and will be continued this day and to-mor row. Unfortunately, the weather was not very propitious in the early part of the day, and in consequence the fete lacked the interest and success which always wait upon numbers. The attendance at the Palace was small com pared with what has been experienced on former occa sions of a similar kind ; but, nevertheless, there was a tolerable gathering of the better class of citizens, and it was observed that, in spite of the heavy showers which fell occasionally, and the oppressive damp with which the atmosphere was charged, there was a c Insi derable predominance of the fair sex. The same cause which kept thousands of persons back from the prevented those who were present front enjoying the open air attraction of the place, for so saturated were the walks and lawns with moisture that to walk about the grounds was a pastime too ridiculous to be practised. All were compelled, therefore, to pass the time within the Palace itself, and those to whom the ordinary ob jects there were so familiar as to have lost the charm of novelty found ample sources of enjoyment iu the horti• cultural treat spread out before them. The exhibition was in many respects an excellent one, but even if it had been otherwise the company would assuredly have enjoyed it, for to those who are doomed at this season of the year to endure the din and dust of the metropolis there are few things more pleasant or 'Snore thoroughly appreciated than a flower show. The show, which conaistod of flowers, fruits, plants, and vegetables, was laid out in the nave of the building, so that ample space was afforded for all to witness it with comfort. On entering from the main staircase the visitor's eye is first drawn towards it by a magnificent collection of specimens of the lilium lancifolium, which cover that end of the tables, and which produce a very fine effect. These aro followed up by a beautiful display of asters—these again by a range of meg nificent hollyhocks—then dahlias of the most bril liant colours, then roses, and so on, the interest of the visitors being sustained to the last. But to be more particular, we shall endeavour to specify some the pro minent points of the show. There is _a tolerably good collection of stove and greenhouse plants in fl These show an improvement, as compared with the same class of plants exhibited last year, and prove what may , be done in the way of encouragement for teir culti vation. The first prize for this class was Mined by Mr. B. Peed, gardener to Mr. Trad well, of St. John's lodge, Norwood. The show of variegated plants is very fine ; indeed, considering the period of the year to which we have advanced, this may be regarded as ono of the most attractive features of the ex hibition, though, probably, it may not appear so to casual visitors. There is a fair supply of plants remark able for fine foliage, and also of exotic orchids. The latter are deemed by judges to be exceedingly good for the season. The first priz3 for these was gained by Mr. Whoolley, gardener to Mr. B. Kerr, of Ches hunt. Ferns, both British and emetics, and plenti ful and good, this plant becoming every year more and more a favourite with the public. Some beautiful specimens of lycopodiums are Exhibited, the first prize for these having been gainei by Messrs. Parkes and Williams, of Holloway. Fusohias are very numerous. So also are the specimens of that fine flower, the sal menes, which show a decided improvement as compared with last year. The show of balsams and coxcombs is very beautiful, and we have already referred to the ex cellent effect produced by the lilium lancifolium, The first prize for the latter was awarded to Mr. James Cut bush,has nurseryman, Highgate. Of the cut flowers those most deserving of notice are the asters (German and French) and the dahlias. Some of the former have been greatly admired, both fur colour and form, though pro bably the dahlias, many of which are remarkahle for There beauty, a r e a tie () the exh o greatest itore of 5 favouriteso dahlias witheach h otfh one e m i e l i a o s n s and of these Mr. Charles Turner, of Slough, has carried areoff t3hoe exhibitors, first ri z e of For w hio another m r. class G ea or George e24dahliasHolmes, o o r g o i fancy the y .d a hfirstlobiffee dahlias , nt r fh i go z ear e i . :fi erhds T i tob e hyp e There prize. .s . a s e ry magnificentm a , Abingdon ; and for French asters by Norwich,collection b a HTT The e r Bn first e e r t , t e or prize dr Slough, gz ee foo fr The show of fruit is even superior to that of the peaches, and nectarines are shown flowers, and for obvious reasons much more tempting Grapes, pineapples , Messrs.

Apples and pears numerous, are plentiful, and of first-rate quality ; 2,44 it is not un worthy of being no t e d that there appears on the fruit table one solitary dish of strawberries from Birmingham. Among the rarer kinds of fruit exhibited there is a dish of mangoes furnished by Mr. Scott, gardener to Sir G. Staunton, of Lee-park, and some person unknown has added a small dish of pomegranates. As a whole the exhibition of fruit is admirable, an d throughout the whole of y es t er d ay attracte d muc h notice. There is a table set apart for amateurs and cottagera, and it is worthy of notice t • that the latter have in some i stances rivalled the professional gardeners , particularly in fuchsias and the different clas ses of ferns. The pro. duce of their kitchen-gardens also shows very creditably. The weather, as already stated, prevented the com pany from enjoying th e mselves in the grounds, but a ll be h a ppy and joyous within. Throughout th e seemedcaytheto band of the Coldstream Guards, in addition to l the permanent band of the Crystal Palace Company, played f avo urite airs, and, towards eveni ng espec i ally, drew around them large and admiring audiences.
