The Union Company's steam-ship Roman from
the Cape of Good Hope, September 13, St. Helena,

The Basuto war was being continued at the
Cape. No fresh attack had been made upon
Thaba Bosigo by the Free State troops. The
Boers, however, reported that they had
achieved the following successes. Mosbesh, think-
ing that the Boers would not again attack Thaba
Bosigo, advised Letsea to send all his cattle to the
mountain and its neighbourhood. Letess did so, and
the Boers, in great force, attacked the herds
and flocks as they were crossing the valley at the
back of the mountain. Some of the stock were
captured, but the Basutos succeeded in driving the
bulk up the mountain ; 25,000 cattle and 8,000
horses were thus huddled on the top of a mountain
not a mile in length and not half a mile in breadth.
The Boers placed their camps around the moun-
tain to prevent the cattle escaping. This had
caused frightful mortality among the stook; thou-
sands had diet of thirst and starvation. The stench
was horrible. Basuto women and children had
crowded into the Boers' camp.
had sued for peace. The terms offered
by the Free State government were for the 13aautos
to give up Thaba Bosigo, with the munitions of
war, all land on this side of the Caledon, pay
30,000 cattle and 60,000 sheep as compensation for
thefts, 15,000 cattle and horses for theme of
the war, and permit a special magistra to reside
on the mountain, to superintend hioshesh.

DR LIVINGSTONE IN BOMBAY.

(From the Bombay Timer, Sept. 15).
Among the passengers from England who ar-
rived in the P. & 0. Co.'s steamer Banana on the 11th tact.
was Dr. Livingstorie, the otiebrated African traveller. The
doctor is about to same in another exploring expedition
into the interior of Africa, and has come to Bombay
for the purpose of making some preliminary peeper.
Won,. The scene of his explorations will be that tract
of territory extending between the region which he has
already explored and that discovered by Chetah) lipalui He
will commence his travels by following the coerce of
the river lirmuna, which is in about tea degrees south
latitude—towards the north to Lek. Nyasa, and then
towards the south to the Tenganyike. Dr. ngstone
has already explored the Rovnma for about 150 miles ; bat
from that point towards the west the country is totally un-

known.
The object of the doctor's expedition is partly to
open up the country for the purposes of 0011 i.
mere% and pertly to carry out the wiahes of the
Omgraphioal Society of London by exploring the water-
shed of Zambeel and the distal* visited by Captain
Spate. This latter object pommies great interest is the
estimation of the geographers at hems, and they ere
desirous of emertaining whether the lakes dionevered by
Speka, Orant, and Baker are not supplied by water Sowing
still fluther from the south than from any sources yet
discovered.
The party composing the expedition will be • small one,
and in 511 probability will be composed almost entirely of
natives. It is net unlikely, indeed, that the doctor may
select a few of the satires of this country to accompany
him, but this will be determined by circumstances. It is
expected that the party will start about the end of Or
tuber.
Dr. Livingstone bad an interview with his Excellency
the Governor of Bombay, end although the nature al it has
of course not transpired, yet there is little doubt that
every facility will be offend to the doctor to carry oat his
project to a successful issue. The doctor, who is the guest
of B. L. Tracey, Esq., proceeds to Novick in the course of
• day or two, and afterwards to Poonah, where he will stay
for some time.
