TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Will you be good enough to inform the
public that arrangements have been made with the
Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company
for the immediate repair of the injury done to the
Atlantic cable of 1866 ?

A vessel will be speedily depatehed, and will leave
the Thames within ten days from this date ; and, as
the point of injury is known to be within two miles
of the land at Heart's Content, as now confirmed
by Mr. Willoughby Smith, sent to Valentia for the
purpose of verifying the previous tests, there is no
reason to doubt that by the 15th of next month the
cable will be restored to its former perfect condi-
tion.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.,
CHARLES E. STEWART,
Chairman Anglo-American Telelegraph
Company.

THE BURIAL OF DR. LIVINGTSONE.

The following is an extract of a letter, dated
Johanna, Feb. 23, received by the late mail, which
places the fate of the unfortunate celebrated tra-
veller, Dr. Livingstone, beyond a doubt :—" You
have heard long before you get this that Dr. Living-
stone was killed. The Johanuamen whom I engaged
last March to accompany Dr. Livingstone into
Africa arrived at Zanzibar last December, and were
sent here by the consul. I have received an account
of their journey, and of the attack of the savages
on the Doctor's party, in which he was killed. The
only witness of his death states that about noon
they were travelling over a large plain—the Doctor
and nine Africans were ahead. Suddenly he heard
the Africans cry out, Ma.vela! Mavela !' lie ran
on and saw a number of men rushing on the Doctor
and the Africans. Three made for the Doctor, who
shot two, but was cut down himself by the third.
Moosa, the narrator of this sad event, fired his gun
and ran back to his countrymen, and they escaped
into the grass and bushes. At dusk they returned
to the spot where Dr. Livingstone was attacked,
and found his body, the bodies of the two Mavelas
whom he shot, also the bodies of four of the Afri-
cans. They buried the Doctor, and then set off as
fast as they could go on their return to the coast;
and after escaping two or three times from bands of
Mavelas, reached Rulloa on the coast. Unless some
of the Africans survive and reach Zanzibar, which
is very improbable, this is all that ever will be known
of the fate of Dr. Livingstone. The Mavelas, who
have come from the South in considerable numbers,
are killing the unfortunate negroes, who have
neither courage nor the means of defending them-
selves."

A new RACE GLASS, very appropriately named
"The New Derby RACO Glass," has this season been in-
troduced to the Sporting World. It is a binocular of high
power, good field and definition, and is equally service-
able for all out-door uses. The maker is CALLAGHAN, 23a,
New Bond-street; and the price, including sling case, is
oos. Our country friends should remit a post-office order,
and become possessors of so excellent an instrument.
A YOUNG WOMAN ACCIDENTALLY SHOT AT
STRATHMIGLO.—On Thursday a lad named George Fernie,
employed at the bleachfield, was amusing himself during
nis breakfast hour in his father's house with a gun. Eliza-
beth Reid happening to be calling on his mother at the
time, and when seated and engaged in converse, the gun
accidentally went off, the contents lodging in the head of
the unfortunate young woman. Death was almost install-
taneous.—Pundee Advertiser.

LA DVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Pills.—Wrongs made
Right.— Every day that any bodily suffering is permitted
to continue renders it more certain to become chronic or
dangerous. Holloway's purifying, cooling, and strength-
ening pills are well adapted for any irregularity of the
human body, and should be taken when the stomach is
disordered, the liver deranged, the kidneys inactive, the
bowels torpid, or the crown muddled. With this medicine
every invalid can cure himself, and those who are weak
and infirm through• imperfect indigestion may wake them-
selves stout and strong by Holloway's excellent pills ; a
few doses of them usually mitigate the most painful symp-
toms caused by undigested food, from which they tho-
roughly free the alimentary canal, and completely restore
ite natural power and action.
