evidence of his "moral support" in tim mission of Sir
Moses Montefiore. There was another distinguishing fea-
ture of this mission. It was undertaken by a. man who was
not a diplomatist. Perhaps it might have been partly
owing to the fact that Sir Idcses I'dontefiore was not a
diplomatist that his mission was so eminently successful;
because, not being a diplomatist, he was able to devotes
himself solely to the work be had in hand.

IMr. GOSCHEN, M.P., propbsed—" That this meeting,
bearing in mind the gracious reception accorded by his Ma-
jesty the Emperor of Morocco to the representations of Sir
Moses Montefiore, wishes to record its high appreciation of
the desire shown by that enlightened sovereign to extend
his protection and to insure justice to all classes of his cub-
jects,'without reference to religious creed; and that this
meeting would be gratified if her Majesty's Secretary of
State for Foreign AC airs would communicate this resolu-
tion to the Emperor of Morocco, through the British Con-
sul-General at Morocco." (Hear, hear.) Tho Emperor of
Morocco had taught the world at largo a most valuable
lesson respecting the value of civil and religious liberty.
(Hear, hear.) He (the hon. gentleman) trusted that some
of those Governments which still refused to make any con-
cession in this respect would follow the example which had,
been set them by the Emperor. (Cheers.)
Professor J. WALEY seconded the motion.
Mr. A. COHENS proposed, and Mr. HENRY ISAACS
seconded—" That this meeting contemplates with deep
oatisfaction the social and political equality now happily
enjoyed by all the subjects of his Majesty, feeling proud
and gratified in remarking how the example thus set has
contributed to induce other countries to adopt the same
beneficent principles."

The above resolutions were all carried unanimously.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the meeting.

Royal Geographical Society.

At the meeting of this society on Monday cvon:ng—Sir
R. Murchison in the chair—the subject of the feazibility of
colonising the northern districts of Queensland was brought
under consideration, by the reading, in the first instance, of
a paper by Mr. J. Arthur Scott, describing an overland ex-
pedition from Port Denison to Rockingham Bay, and after-
wards by communications on the proposed new settlement
at Cape York by Sir G. Bowen, the present Governor of
Queensland. The expedition in which Mr Scott was en-
gaged occupied from the beginning of April to the middle of
June last year. He' traversed the mountainous ridge that
extends along the eastern coast of Queensland, and presents
a steep escarpment on the eastern side, which is C.

serious

obstacle to communicationbetwoen the coast and the interior,
as there are only three or four openings in a range of up-
wards of 1,000 miles through which communications can be
made. The expedition came within sight of Rockingham
Bay, which was about seven miles distant, but a close jungle
on the sides of a gorge in the rocks I,oooft. deep effectually
stopped farther progress, as no path could be made except
by cutting through, and the supply of provisions falling
short, and the exhaustion of the party from fatigue, pre-
vented them from making that attempt. Mr. Scott described
the general aspect of the country to be fertile and well
watered, an immense track of table land, at an elevation of
about 2000 ft., being well adapted for pasturage. He came
to a beautiful waterfall that fell over rocks from a height of
5001 t., and he heard the sound of a much larger waterfall,
