of thtt village made him pay abo.
value of the article stolen. No other case of theft
occurred. No dues were demanded, and only one-
fine—a very just one—was levied. Attempts have
been made to make the Arabs pay, but they have
always been resisted. So much has been said about
Arab proselytism that it was with interest inquiries
were made about their success in converting the
Makonde to the Mohammedan faith. Here, as
elsewhere, no attempts to teach had been made.
Some Arabs asserted that it would be useless, for
the Makonde had no idea of a Deity. On making
inquiries about the guts copal digging, I was shown
a tree from which the gum was actually dropping,
but they do not dig under the trees at present living.
They choose the vicinity in the belief that near to
the modern trees those which yielded what is now
considered fossil gum must have grown. Here they
dig, and, said the spokesman, ' the first and second
days we may labour in vain, but God may give it
us after that.' To this acknowledgment of a Deity
all responded, It is as He wills it.' The experi-
ment with the buffaloes and tsetse has not been
satisfactory ; one buffalo and two camels died. Had
we not been in the tsetse country I would have as-
cribed this to overwork and bruises received onboard
the dhow which brought them from Zanzibar. These
broke out with large ulcers. The symptoms were
not those I have observed in oxen and horses.
When stung by gadflies blood of the arterial colour
flows from the point. This may be the effect of the
tsetse, for when an ox known to be bitten was killed
its blood was all of the arterial hue. I had but four
buffaloes for the experiments, and as yet, as three
remain, I remain in doubt. Hoping that this short
sketch, which I write in haste, for an Arab, who is
passing down to the coast, may be approved, I

The Projected Reform Demonstration.

A deputation from the committee entrusted with
the carrying out of the arrangements of the proposed
trade reform demonstration waited on the Home
Secretary yesterday afternoon, on the subject of
appointing special constables for that occasion. The
deputation consisted of Messrs. G. Potter, H. Hart--
well, J.Coffey, Jenkins, and Bryan. Sir R. Mayne
was present at the interview.

; Mr. G. POTTER explained that a few weeks ago
the committee asked Sir R. Mayne if he would faci-
litate them in the progress of the demonstration,
and in the keeping away of roughs and such like
characters, who infested gatherings in every large
town. Wishing the demonstration to be a peaceable
one, they asked him for the assistance of the police
to protect them from the characters to whom he had
referred, who would not form part of the procession,
but Sir R. Mayne refused to interfere in the matter.
They had therefore come to him (Mr. Walpole) to
ask whether he would allow the swearing in, or ar-
range for the swearingin, of 1,000 of the artisans of
London, who were willing to come forward and act
in that capacity on the day of the proposed demon-
stration. They did not apprehend that anything
would occur calling for their interference during the
day, but it was possible that some disturbance might
take place in returning from the demonstration in
the evening. The committee did not yet know where
the demonstration would be held. They had had an
offer from the Government of a place which they
did not approve, and which he hoped they would not
be obliged to have recourse to ; but he trusted they
would be able to secure a place of meeting before
the appointed day.

Mr. JENKINS said the committee were assured the
working men would behave in an orderly manner.
Mr. HARTWELL remarked that the police had given
every assistance to those who had the management
of the reform demonstrations in the provinces.
Sir R. MAYNE said the request that was made
to him was that he should keep one side of the
street clear for the procession. That, he told them, ha
could not do, but added that he would do every-
thing in his power to preserve the peace of the me-

tropolis.
Mr. WALPOLE called the attention of the deputa-
tion to the Act of Parliament on the subject, which
provided for the appointment of special constables,
on information being made to any two justices of
the peace, on the oath of one credible witness, that
any tumult, riot, or felony ha 1 taken place or might
reasonably be apprehended, such justices being of
opinion that the ordinary oflic.trs appointed for the
preservation of the peace were not sufficient for that
purpose. It was not therefore in his power either to
withhold or grant the appointment of special con-
stables. He did not suppose they wished him to
assume that they were under an apprehension that
tumult, riot, or felony would take place.
Mr. POTTER pointed out the sort of protection
that was wanted. While the demonstrations were
being held in the summer, bands of men, not con-
nected with reformers, formed themselves into bodies,
broke windows, and committed other acts which
were imputed to those who had taken part in the
processions. They apprehended that something of
that kind would again occur, and they wished to
swear in special constables, so that they might put
an end to it and free themselves from the stigma of
disorderly proceedings, but they did not want to go
before a magistrate and swear that a riot or a tumult
would take place.
Mr. WALPOLE did not see, from the information
laid before him, that either Mr. Potter or any one
riot, tumult, or felony. (h ear, hear, f _rokintthe
