The Royal Geographical Society.

The meeting of this society. on Monday evening
acquired a painful interest from the expected nar-
ration which had terminated the Baron Von der
Decken's expedition in East Africa, and at an early
period the hall at Burlington House was densely
crowded. On taking the chair the president, Sir
Roderick Murchison, said that a most interesting
paper on the River Purus had been announced for
reading, but in consequence of the still greater in-
terest which attached to the anxious intelligence re-
ceived of the expedition of the Baron Von der
Decken, the particulars of the disaster which had
befallen that gallant nobleman, as far as they were
known, would be brought forward with the view of
eliciting all the suggestions for aid which a discus-
sion would bring forth. The baron's expedition
had been despatz..hed at the cost of a large fortune
to effect an important discovery. He was the first
to ascertain by actual observation the existence of
snow-capped mountains within the equatorial re-
gions, for which exploration he had received the
gold medal of the society. For this second expedi-
tion to the east of Africa he had fitted out two iron
steamers at his own expense, and had them con-
veyed to Zanzibar. The expedition was accom-
panied by an officer of the Austrian navy, Lieut.
Schickh, an artist, nine Europeans, two of Speke's
negroes, and in every way was carefully arranged
and prepared, with every prospect of a successful
end. The object was the ascent of the Juba, a large
river, stated by native reports to have its origin far
in the interior of the continent. The baron's small
steamer was lost at the mouth of the river, but his
large one, the Welf, had proceeded 380 miles up
the stream, the course of which was previously ut-
terly unknown, when the vessel had struck on a
bank, and it became necessary to unload her. While
the baron had gone to the Sultan of the district for
assistance, the party left in charge was attacked by
the natives, and had been compelled to return, leav-
ing the baron in the hands of the Sultan, with a
fate unknown, to seek the aid of the British
consul at Zanzibar, who was present at this meeting,
and they would, therefore, be able to have
the welcome opinion and advice of Col. Playfair.
His deputy there had dispatched one of her Ma-
jesty's ships to render all the assistance possible,
while Lieut. Schickh had returned with a party by
land. The last communication on the subject re-
ceived was a letter from Col. Walker to the secre-
tary, Mr. Bates, detailing an interview with the
Crown Princess of Prussia, and expressing her royal
highness's wish that the society would take the ne-
cessary measures to obtain the assistance of the Go-
vernment in the matter.

A translation of the letter from Lieut. Schickh
was then read by Col. Rigby, lately the consul at
Zanzibar. It was addressed to the Hanseatic con-
sul at Zanzibar, and included extracts from the
baron's journal. The extracts commence on Aug.
16, when the expedition had arrived at Hinde, a
stockaded town with two gates, and are then con-
tinued day by day to Sept. 27. We pass on to the
events of the last few days, as being the point of
the most intense interest in the baron's fate. On
the 19th they arrived at Berdera, and the baron
with Lenk inspected the river in the steamer's gig,
the steamer following slowly. At the right bank of
the town they were challenged to stop, but the baron
chose his own anchorage opposite the flats above the
town, groups of inquisitive people remaining on
both banks during the night. On the 20th the baron
landed, and had an interview with the Sultan or
Sheikh Hamadi ben Keri. The information he got
he describes as better than that previously obtained,
although he could not clearly ascertain where the
cataract was. Hostilities existed between the op-
posite town and Gunana, but the people of Bcrdera
were in profound peace. The town is surrounded
by a wall, ruined in many places, with a moat be-
yond it. The people are strict Mahomedans, and
are armed with spears and nicely cut rhinoceros hide
shields. Bows and arrows are seldom seen, and fire-
arms never. On the 21st he went to the town on
the right bank, and found the chief and the inha-
bitants friendly. Arrangements were made for a
hunting party and an excursion to the cataract.
There was a:, report in town that a second steamer
was ascending the river and had already passed
the Wasequa villages. On the 22d the hunting
party came off. On the 23d when he went into the
town he found that Hamadi had given orders that
no provisions should be sold to Europeans. This
affair appears to havebeen somewhat smoothed over,
for on the 24th the baron went on shore again,
when Hamadi came to ask pardon, and, placing his
turban on the ground, offered his hand in recon-
ciliation, which the baron refused, to his great
astonishment. On the 25th the steamer started at
2 p.m. When directly below the rapids, although
going so slowly that the travellers were hardly con-
scious of being in motion, it struck a rock, and im-
mediately afterwards the stern struck on another.
The ship had sprung a leak, and the water was
rushing in under the boiler. After bringing up the
large boat from the island, they commenced to un-
load, and by evening most of the cargo was on shore.
Lenk, Trenn, Kanter, and Binkman slept on shore
with six men and the dogs to guard. On the 27th
the baron enters :—" I must say I think all we can
do will be lost labour, and I give up the Welf. The.
only use we can now make of her is to break her up
and construct a raft. After mature deliberation and
consultation, I have resolved on the following plans.
To-morrow morning early I will go, accompanied
by Lenk and the guide, in my boat to Berdera. If
we should then have authentic news that Livingstone
is in the neighbourhood, I shall once again, with his
aid, try my luck in the Welf. If not Schickh is
ordered to construct a boat with the materials of the
broken up ship. I will send provisions from Berdera
to the rapids, and go on foot to Gunana to see if it
will be worth while to continue our voyage on the
Juba without a steamer. I will then either return
to the rapids, proceed by boat to Zembo and thence
to Mombas, or I will send the people beforehand to
Gunana, and by myself try to reach some other
place from Zembo." Here the baron's entries end ;
and then follows a narrative of the evening after
his departure. On the 28th the baron left at 6
a.m., accompanied by Dr. Lenk, the Brawa chief
Abdio, two guides, Baraka and Kew, the last with
letters and provisions to enable him to return by the
30th, at the latest, from Berdera. He had also four
negroes. On the 28th, 29th, and 30th the party in
charge of the wreck continued to discharge coal and
to work at the leak. On the 30th they had finished
the unloading and had repaired the leak, but the
river had sunk 2ift., so that it would have been
necessary to await a rise of the water in order to
float the steamer. On Sunday, Oct. 1, about half-
past 1, they observed between the trees on the left
bank a great number of negroes. Thinking it was
their expected guide returning, escorted by some
Berdera people with provisions, Lieut. Schickh sent
the boat across with eight men and the serang

(boatswain). The Berdera people told him that
neither guide nor letters from the baron was there,
but that the Sultan of Berdera had sent them to re-
move our effects to the left bank, as we should be
liable to attack. This seemed strange, and instead
of removing the goods the lieutenant ordered their
encampment to be fenced. When the Berdera people
saw this, first three or four, and then a few more,
then many others waded above the Welf, and called
out for the boat, which was to bring over six of
them. A horn was now sounded, and some 20 or 30
negroes with poised spears rushed from the south
side into the camp. All who were on that side were
cut off and slain. Kanter, the engineer, jumped from
his bed and fired two shots before he was massacred.
Brenner, Theis, and Deppe, on the north side of the
camp, kept up a fire and drove back the assailants.
The fight was now variously continued, with some
chances of the boats being captured by the negroes.
Having come to the conclusion that the Sultan of
Berdera on learning of the baron's arrival, the mis-
hap to the ship, and remembering his last interview
with him before the accident, had either murdered
him or kept him prisoner, Lieut. Schickh came to the
determination of collecting his journals and returning
down stream in one of the boats, as it was certain the
least delay would cause the news of the disaster to
precede their voyage, and give rise everywhere to
hindrances and opposition. Independent of their
personal safety, Lieutenant Schickh considered that
the fate of the baron, if he were still alive, depended
on the Sultan's knowledge of their freedom. Any
attempt to ascertain by force his fate was, on ac-
count of the overpowering numbers of the negroes,
impossible. By rowing day and night with a single
pair of cars they managed to reach the mouth of
the Juba on the 7th October. Thence they com-
menced their journey on foot for Riame, but
fortunately after four hours' march they found a
dhow at Cape Bissell, which they hired, and ar-
rived at Lamoo on the 16th, where they got another
dhow which brought them to Zanzibar on the 24th
October. Here he had hoped to find an English or
French man of war, but disappointed in this respect,
Lieutenant Schickh had taken a dhow to Brawa,
and would thence proceed by the caravan road to
obtain intelligence from Berdera. Since then an
English ship of war has been sent, as the president
stated, to aid in the rescue of the baron.
The discussion which followed was, as would
have been expected, very interesting.
Consul Playfair said that from Braba there was a
considerable trade up the river Juba, and that as the
Sumalis were in constant communication with
traders the case was not likely to be so bad for the
baron as had been dreaded. Although many Euro-
peans had fallen into their hands and been kept
prisoners, he did not know of any case of putting
to death. He referred to several cases. He drew
especial attention to the wreck of the St. Abbs,
from London to Bombay, on the island of St.
Joao di Nova. The ship with 26 bands on board
bad subsequently washed over to Mogadocia, where,
from intelligence since received, it was possible they
were still existing.

Colonel Rigby confirmed the good opinion Con-
sul Playfair entertained of the Sumati, and gave
instances even of their kindly action.

Mr. Crawfurd also made some comments on the
paper.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBING CHILDREN IN THE STREETS.—Ann Smith, a
woman about 40 years of age, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with stealing from the person of Emily Ramster,
about seven years of age, a cloak.
Mrs. Elizabeth Parry, of 23, New Compton-street, said
that on the previous evening as she was going along
Compton-street she saw the prisoner take the cloak from
off a little girl and then send her into a sweetmeat shop.
Directly afterwards the little girl came out of the shop, and
not seeing the prisoner commenced screaming. She (wit-
ness) wen't after the prisoner, who was bolting off as quickly
as she could and stopped her, and made her take from under
her arm the cloak and put it on the child, the prisoner re-
marking at the time that the child had been lost for two
days, and that she was then going to take it home. A few
minutes afterwards the prisoner was given into custody,
she having two or three times attempted to get away, but
had been prevented by a gentleman.
Mrs.Ramster, the mother of the child, and residing at 16,
Old Compton-street, said the cloak was her property, and
her little girl left home a short time before the robbery
wearing it.
The prisoner chose to have the case settled by the ma-
gistrate.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he believed the prisoner to be one of
a mischievous gang of women who went about town rob-
bing children— a gang of the worst of thieves. He should
commit the prisoner for two months with hard labour.
PARISH PROSECUTIOL—Mrs. Rebecca Johnson, an
elderly female, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
keeping disorderly houses at 11 and 12, King-square-court,
Carlisle-street, Soho.
A gentleman from the office of Mr. Allen, of Carlisle-
street, Soho, appeared for the prosecution, on the part of
St. Ann's parish, and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marl-
borough-street, for the prisoner.

Sergeant George Appleton, 26 C, proved that the pri-
soner was the keeper of two brothels at 11 and 12, King-
square Court, and the porson named in the warrant.
Mr. Lewis said the houses had existed undisturbed for
above 100 years.

The prisoner was ordered to find tho usual bail to appear
at the sessions.

THAMES.

SINGULAR AND WANTON OUTRAGE.—Georgo William
Halbut, a pale-faced, emaciated-looking boy, ill clad, and
whose intellect did not appear to be very bright, was
brought before Mr. Paget, charged with the following
wanton outrage.

Henrietta Wade, a respectable young woman, the
daughter of a dressmaker, and living with her mother at
No. 12, Jubilee-street, Stepney, stated at 9 o'clock last
night she was returning to her home, and saw the prisoner
walking very close to her behind in John-street. She be-
came alarmed, and quickened her pace. The prisoner did
the same, and she then stopped to look at some printed
announcements in a general shop at the corner of
Oxford-street and Jubilee-street. The prisoner
stopped at the next shop, looking after her. She
went on again, and the prisoner followed her. All at once
she felt her jacket raised, as if by the wind, and ran to her
home as fast as she could. She asked her landlady if there
was anything wrong with her jacket, who said it was cut
down and divided. She immediately wont after the priso-
ner, and overtook him with a knife in his hand, and close
to a young lady whose does he was about to cut in a simi-
lar manner. She appealed to two gentlemen who were
passing, and they seized the prisoner and gave him into
custody. Her jacket was nearly a new one, and the
amount of damage done to it amounted to 10s.

The prisoner, in a low tone, mumbled out some words,
and said, " Please, sir, I ask you to forgive me this once,
and I'll never do so again."
Mr. Paget— You mean to say you did this ?
The prisoner— Yes, sir, please; I did do it.
Mr. Paget—Cut this young woman's cloak?
The prisoner—Yes, please, sir; I can't tell why I did it.

Emma Halbut, mother of the prisoner, said her son was
generally at home at 7 o'clock in the evening, and she was
very much alarmed at his absence last night. He was 17
years of age, and employed by Mr. Musack, cork merchant,
in Trinity-terrace, Tower-hill. The boy had been often
afflicted with illness. She did not believe he would do
such a thing as that he was charged with.
Mr. Paget—Ho admits he did do it. He has been guilty
of a most wanton and malicious outrage. I doubt whether
I ought not to send him to prison for two months without
the option of paying a fine.
The prisoner—Please, sir, forgive me.

Mr. Paget—No. I shall not, indeed. Women must t e
prctected against such outrages as these. I fine the pri-
soner £3, and 10s. in addition for the damage, or one
month's imprisonment and hard labour.

MRS. WINDHA3I.—The following letter appears
in a contemporary :—" Sir,—My attention bas been
drawn to a paragraph which appeared in your paper to the
effect that General Windham compelled me to grant my late
husband an annuity. As that statement is not a correct
representation of the facts, I trust, in common fairness, you
will permit mo to state what did actually occur. When I
purchased my late husband's life interest in February, 1864,
which I was advised to do by my solicitors and the trustees
to my marriage settlement in order to save the property, I
immediately settled upon him an annuity of £5OO a year, to
be increased to £l,OOO a year in October, 1869, so that he
might have a certain income for his life. This was an en-
tirely voluntary act on my part, and entered into without
any intervention, either direct or indirect, of General
Windham. I take this opportunity of adding, with refer-
ence to the latter part of General Windham's letter to you
of the Bth inst., that if my late husband falsely swore that
my boy was not his son, it was by the advice and at the in-
stigation of members of the legal profession.—l have the
honour to be, sir, yours, &c., ANN AGNES WINDHAM, 3A,
Upper Westbourne-terrace, Paddington, Feb. 10."

HER MAJESTY•

OSBORNE, Tuesday.

Her Majesty drove out in a carriage and four
yesterday afternoon, with her Royal Highness Prin-
cess Beatrice.

The Dowager Duchess of Athole, the Hon. Caro-
line Cavendish, and Colonel the Hon. D. de Ros
were in attendance.

Princess Hohenlohe and Princess Hermann of
Hohenlohe also took a drive.

The first name of the infant Prince Leiningen,
christened at Osborne on Saturday, is Emich, not

Enrich.

The Prince and Princess of Wales.
The Prince and Princess of Wales visited Mr.

Theed's studio yesterday..

The Prince of Wales went to the house of Lords
in the afternoon.
The Prince and Princess of Wales dined with
her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge at
St. James's Palace in the evening.

-v-

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge
was honoured by the presence of their Royal Highnesses
the Prince and Princess of Wales at dinner last evening, at
her Royal Highness's apartments in St. James's Palace.
The Prince and Princess of Wales were attended by the
Countess of Macclesfield and Major Teesdale. His Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge was present, attended by
Colonel the Hon. James Macdonald. The party also in-
cluded the Earl and Countess of Westmorland, Lord and
Lady Cecilia Bingham, Dr. Quin, and Lady Geraldine
Somerset and Colonel Home Purves, in waiting on her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. A small circle
assembled after dinner.

Drury-Lane.

-4.

Last night the play of " The Stranger" was again
performed at this theatre, Mr. Phelps sustaining
the gloomy part of The Stranger, and Mrs. Herman
Vezin that of Mrs. Haller. Judging from the
crowded state of the theatre the much-criticised
play seemed to have lost none of the interest that
for years it has held on the sympathies of the
tender-hearted. As usual the injuries of the
wronged husband and the woes of the repentant
wife drew forth tears in abundance from the majo-
rity of the audience. The careful manner in which
Mr. Phelps sustains his part is so well and widely
known that we need but say that the representation
of last evening was wanting in none of those artistic
touches which have rendered it a favourite with a
great number of playgoers. Mrs. Vezin's Mrs.
Haller was all that was expected—the tender and
subdued portions of the character being the most
successful. Mr. Belmore's Peter and Mr. Barrett's
Solomon deserve to be spoken of in complimentary
terms. The play is to be repeated alternately with
the " Jealous Wife" during the week. The great
pantomime of " King Pippin" continues as attrac-
tive as it was on the first week of its production.

RETIREMENT OF LORD KINGSDOWN.—It is un-
derstood that Lord Kingsdown will not sit again at tho
Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. His lordship
will, however, continue to sit on appeals in the House of
Lords.

THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE has certainly had
enough to amuse him of late in regard successively to
Bunkers—Bugs—and Burglars : in the three recent cases,
that is, of Fitzgerald v. Northcote, Campbell v. Lord
Wenlock, and to-day (see a full report in another column)
Walker v. Milner.

BAD SPEAKERS.—The two representatives of
constituencies, I remember, who were the worst
speakers I ever heard when sober, were the Into Sir Wm.
Guise, M.P. for Gloucestershire, and Col. 'Webb, the mem-
ber for the city. The former, in an after-dinner speech,
expressed his satisfaction at having his health proposed
"by so respectable an individual " as his 'Royal Highness
the Duke of Gloucester ; and the latter, in a low pot-house,
during his canvass, assured half-a-dozen sweeps and tinkers
that "his feelings overcame him in having the onerous re-
sponsibility of addressing so respectable an assembly." The
assembly grinned, and one of them cried " Walkor."—The

Michael L. Sullivan, of Champaign county,
Illinois, has the largest farm in the world. It contains
70,000 acres, 23,000 acres of which are under fence and in
active cultivation. Much of the work is done by machi-
nery. He drives his posts by horse power, cultivates his
corn by machinery, ditches, sows, and plants by machi-
nery—so that all his labourers can ride and perform their
duties. Mr. Sullivan gives employment to 200 farm hands,
200 horsos, and a large number of oxen.—New York paper.
SMUGGLING FROM CANADA TO THE STATES.—A
few weeks ago one R. Cottrell, who resides in this State
within a few miles of the Canadian frontier, took his two
sons over the line, purchased winter suits of clothing for
himself and them, and then i eturned home. Cottrell made
no secret of what he had done ; he spoke of it as what
everybody does; it was well known, and it reached the oars
of the United States Marshal. The result of his knowing
was unfortunate for Cottrell, who has just been arraigned
before Judge Smalley in the Circuit Court for smuggling.
The judge held that there had been an evasion of the
revenue laws ; but taking into consideration the apparent
honesty of Cottrell in acknowledging the affair, and con-
sidering also that the law had not hitherto been generally
known, he let him off with now paying the customs duties
and the costs, amounting to $l4O, which is more than the
cost of the clothes.—New York Times.

Yesterday at the Mansion House a young mall
named Robert Gibson was brought up charged with
forgery with intent to defraud the bank of England. Ile
went to Messrs. Peppercorn and Price, stockbrokers, and
requested them to make out a power of attorney for the
transfer of £l2O Consols from the name of Mr. Samuel
Dixon. This was done, and the document was forwarded
to an address given, and returned bearing a signature of
Samuel Dixon, properly witnessed. Notice of the transfer
was given at the Bank, and the authorities there, as is
usual with them in similar cases, made inquiries as to the
authenticity of the power of attorney. These inquiries led
to the discovery of the intended fraud. Mr. Dixon had
never signed the document. Gibson was committed for
trial.

During the past twelve months the Institution has sent
37 lifeboats to the coasts, and the total expense during
the same period on its 160 lifeboat establishments
has amounted to £26,723 14s. sd. The National Lifeboat
Institution has become ono of the most important bonov
lent societies in our land, and contributes to the saving
every year of about 700 shipwrecked persons ; and coil"!
a history of all these noble lifeboat services be written, it
would probably contain more golden deeds than has ever
0
been culled from any other records. It is therefore to
hoped that all who recognise the sacredness of human li
will deem it a duty and even a privilege to help forwar'd
the lifeboat work—a work which has hitherto boon mani-
festly blessed by Providence, and which has brought relief
to many thousands of anon who to-day, in its absence,o .
stead of living useful members of the community, Iv.
have been engulfed in mid-ocean by the tempest, audtheir
wives and children have become widows and orphans,
