Dr. Tithe, of Chiswick, had lONIC gr. Ruck on the 9th and
the lath instant sod on Saturday last. Considered him to
be sow of perfectly sound mind. Had no doubt that his
malady had been mania from drinking. Obviously the best
course to take with a pot ient who had delusions arising from
abuse of intoxicating liquors would he to investigate those
delusions, and endeavour to satisfy bite that they ware
groundless. It was impossible to tell mania from drinking
from any other sort of mania, without knowing the history
of the ease ; but if it had been secertaised to be maniac polio,
it was better not to confine the person in an asylum,'
Re-esammed—At the first interview Mr. Ruck said he
had been jealous of hie Wergild he gave revers' iniimia for
it. He said his wife had last year withdrawn from matri-
monial intercourse, and had threatened, if he intrigued
with other worsen, to revenge herself with ether men.
Considered that Mr. Rook's delusions had gene, because his
feetiments seemed to bare undergone a change. It was the
way in which he had spoken of his former delusions that sa-
tisfied witness.

Tlil LIVINGSTOAT

Her Majesty's steamer Hermes, Captain Gordon,
which wee despatched from Simon's Bay some time ago to
accompany the Livingstone expedition to the month of the
Zambezi River, has returned. She arrived in Algae Bay
on the Bth ult., and has brought intelligence from Dr.
Livingstone and the members of hie exploring expedition.
Dr. Livingstone, In a private letter, dated Zambezi River,
Jane 26, 1858, addremed to Sir George Grey, states that
the expedition bad safely reached the Zambesi, and having
parted company with the Pearl, were about to proceed to
Tete in the small steam-launch Ma Robert. Some difficulty
was experienced in obtaining an entrance for the Pearl into
the main stream of the Zambezi. Dr. Livingstone says :
"We firet attempted the branch which wee &seethed
by Lieutenant Hoaktna as the most southern and
most navigable branch, and though it did not lead us into
the Zambezi, we found some sixty or seventy miles of
navigable river After searching for some time
at the bar of Luabo—which Mr. Skead sounded in the
Hermes' cutter—we hard to find a passage ; but trying, by
the advice of Captain Gordon, the river Konen., the bar
of which, also, Mr. need sounded, we entered, and soon
reached the main stream. . . . . We then let the Pearl
go on her voyage to Ceylon, and trust to getting up to Tete
by the Ma Robert. We have had no fever yet. Captain
Bsdingfield has bad hard week of it, but he, too, mahatma
wen ; and we all look fererard with MMus* be raseMeg with
my Makololo, who are still at Tete, though several have died
doh* their stay, by small-pox. We shall leave our heavy
lasgap at Senn"

A member al es expedition, writing from the Zambesi
