LORD EBRINGTON.

The public will learn with regret the affliction 'that
has befallen the noble lord in the course of investiga-
tions made in the cause of suffering humanity. Having
in connection with the late severe mortality of the army
had his attention called to the deplorable condition of
many of the military hospitals at home, even of those
in the metropolis, he determined to bee and examine
them himself with the view of bringing them under the
consideration of the Legislature, upon a motion of which
he had given notice. He visited several of them and
conversed with many of the suffering soldiers. In com-
miseration of the patients he prolonged his stay in one
foul ward where anumber were afflicted with ophthalmia.
Shortly after this visit he was himself attacked with
purulent ophthalmia of the rnobt virulent and agonising
character in both eyes. For a lung time there was immi-
nent danger of the entire loss of sight. By the unre-
mitting attention and skill of Mr. White Cooper the
use of one of the injured eyes has been preserved, but
on Saturday for the relief and safety of that one, it was
found necessary by him, with the sanction and in the
presence of Sir Benjamin Brodie, to perform an opera-
tion for the removal of a tumour, by which his lord-
ship, after very prolonged suffering, is permanently de-
prived of the use of the other eye. He and his family
may be consoled by the assurance that the suffering and
the permanent injury and disfigurement sustained in
such a cause will everywhere excite strong sympathy.

INTELLIGENCO OF DR. LIVINGSTON,
THE AFRICAN TRAVELI.EIi.

The Secretary of the Admiralty begs to transmit for
insertion in The &cm the accompanying copy of a des-
patch received from Commodore Trotter, at the Cape of
Good Hope, containing intelligence of Dr. Livingston,
the African traveller.
Admiralty, July 27, 1856.

Lord PALMERSTON—though we certainly didh
imagine it—turns out after all to be that long
talked of phenomenon in the shape of a " forked
radish," that long-desired, long-expected, much-
aspiring, more achieving, and most remarkable el
all extraordinary personages, The Coming Man.

it. The Coming Man has Come, actually Come,
at last. More than this, he has been in the
midst of us years and years (we don't care to
reckon how many, any more than we should feel
disposed to calculate the number of grey hairs
and wrinkles upon a Cupid fallen into " the sere
and yellow leaf ")—he has been, it seems, in the
very midst of us all this long while without our
knowing it—Le Voici ! Milord PALMERSTON !

present, in the person of Lord PALMERSTON. For
surely no one but the Coming Man could by pos-
sibility be what the Times this morning distinctly
declares Lord PALMERSTON to be, viz., " The
Right Man in the Right Place !" Never, we
undertake to assert most positively, never was
adulation more gross, or (because so gross) more
revolting than that addressed to the Prime

"No. 47. "Casior,Sirrion's Bay, May 26, 1856.
" Sir,—ln reference to my letter to you of the 10th of
January last, No. 10, reporting, for the informabion of
the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that C roa-
wander Nolloth, of her Majesty's ship Frolic, had not
succeeded in gaining any intelligence of the African
traveller, Dr. Livingston, during his late visit to Genii-
mama, I have now the honour to acquaint you that the
brigantine Dart, which arrived hers yesterday, having
been ordered to call at Guillimaine to make further in-
quiries, has succeeded in ascertaining that this gentle-
man reached Tette, the furthest inland station of the
Portuguese in Eastern Africa, on the 2d March last, in
good health ; and I enclose a copy of a letter, dated
March 3, at Tette, from Dr. Livingston, addressed to
the commander of any English vessel of war at Guilli-
maine, forwarding some scientific papers for her Ma-
jesty's astronomer at the Cape, which were received on
the 4th inst. by the officer in command of the Dare,
when at that port.
" On the death of Mr. M'Clune, Mr. Warr, master's
assistant, the only remaining executive officer besides
the gunner, being very ill of fever, and not acquainted
with the exact orders under which Mr. M'Clune had
been acting, and being ignorant, therefore, of the discre-
tionary orders which I had given to that officer in regard
to waiting for Dr. Livingston, and knowing that the
Dart had already delayed sevea weeks longer than under
ordinary circumstances would have been justifiable, did
not prolong his stay so long as be might have done,
which is much to be regretted, as Dr. Livingstone was
BO near at hand.

"I have, &c.,
" IT. D. TROTTER, Commodore."

"Tette, March 3,185 g.

"Sir,—You will confer a great favour if, in the event
of your ship going to the Cape, you take charge of the
accompanying packet of letters for Mr. M‘Lear, the As-
tronomer Royal there. Should you have no intention of
proceeding there soon, be so kind 11,1 to give directions
that it may go by the first safe opportunity. I arrived
here, the furthest inland station of the Portuguese in
E ',stern Africa, yesterday morning, having conic across
the Continent from Angola. Am in good health, but
pretty well tired out, from marching for some time past
over a very rough stony country. Our cattle
killed by the fly called isetse ; and not possessing any
goods to buy a canoe we had to rough it. A few days'
rest will set me all to rights again ; and I shall then
leave for Guillimaine. The Portuguese here are very
kind ; indeed I have found them so everywhere, and if
I could only be sure of my family receiving early intelli-
gence of my welfare, I should rest a short time in
peace.
" Hoping you will excuse the liberty I have presumed
to take in thus addressing you. " I have, &c.
(Signed) " DAVID LIVINGSTON."
