DR. LIVINGSTONE AND 1115 IWUTE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—l have the satisfaction to inform you that
the despatches which have been received from her
Majesty's Consul at Zanzibar, Mr. Churchill, and
the 'Vice Consul, Dr. Kirk, confirm officially the
accounts received respecting Dr. Livingstone read
before the Royal Geographical Society at their last
meeting on the 9th inst., and published in the
newspapers on the 10th inst.

Through the kindness of Lord Stanley copies of
these despatches have been transmitted to the
society, and will be laid before their next meeting
ou the oth of January, together with the deposi-
tions of the several natives who were interrogated,
all of whom agreed substantially in their state-
ments. It further appears from the evidence ob.
tained that the member of the caravan to whom the
white traveller intrusted letters for the English Con-
sul at Zanzibar wa..; one of the attendants of Burton
and Speke when they formerly travelled to this very
Lake Tanganyika, up the west side of which we
have now every reason to believe Livingstone is
proceeding. The bearer of the letters having been
detained for purposes of trade was expected at
Zanzibar in the course of a month, and then our
anxieties will be set at rest.

In the meantime, to cheer us up respecting the
fate of our great traveller, I cannot do better than
quote the following phrase from Mr. Churchill's
despatch :—" To all appearances this enterpris-
ing traveller is Dr. Livingstone and no other."
Again, on his part, Dr. Kirk, after naturally weigh-
ing the testimony, writes—" We are therefore forced
to the conclusion that in all probability we have
obtained information of Dr. Livingstone."

The public ought also to be informed that, ac-
cording to the route through the African interior
pointed out in the written instructions furnished to
Livingstone by the Council of the Royal Geographi-
cal Society, the place where the white traveller has
been seen corresponds with the point which Living-
stone ought to have reached at the time indicated.

" Every mother and housekeeper must often net as
family physician in the numerous illnesses and accidents
that occur among children and servants. For many of
these cases I have used Davis's Pain Killer, and consider
it an indispensable article in the medicine box. In diar-
rhoea, it has been always effectual, while for cuts and
bruises it is invaluable."—New York Eximiner. " Gentle-
men,--I was severely injured last March, by a fall which
bruised and lamed my back. I tried your Pain Killer,
biking it inwardly and applying it outwardly ; and before
I had used ono bottle I found myself a new man. It was
worth its weight in gold to me.—Yours obediently, Josue
GREEN, Temple-street, Bilston, 1859. To P. Davis and
Son, 17, Southampton-row, Holborn (W. 0). " Every
bottle of the genuine has the words PAIN KILLER on
