Ugg SUM

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1868.

So great and so general is the interest felt in all
that concerns our distinguished Afric‘n explorer
that it is no wonder the intimation that letters from

Dr. LLVINGSTONE himself were to be read at the

meeting of the Geographical Societ) on Monday
should have crowded the hall of Burlington House.
A few months back and the prophecy that suda
would have been the case would have been received
with incredulity; but although the despondency
and. alarm which then chequered all our feelings

with respect to Dr. LIVINGSTONE'S expedition
has happily been removed, the interest in bis
proceedings has been, if possible, heightened
by it. Sir RODERICK MURCHISON, who presided
over the meeting, must have especially rejoiced on
the auspicious occasion. lie has throughout kept
up his hopes for the safety of his old friend and
associate, but the certainty that he is alive and
prospering in his toilsome and dangerous expedition
is far more satisfactory than the best-founded
belief. In opening the proceedings, Sir R. MUR
CHISON congratulated the society on the success of
the Abyssinian expedition, as well as on the safety
of Dr. LIVINGSTONE, and he expressed an earnest
hope that the illustrious traveller would soon
bring his illustrious labours to a happy end.
The Secretary then proceeded to read a letter from
Dr. LIVINGSTONE, dated Bemba, February 2, 18137.

It had been sent by a party of black Arab slave
traders from Bagamayo, near Zanzibar, who had
penetrated for the first time to Zemba, coming by
a shorter way than the Europeans. These traders at
first refused to stay more than half a day, and con-
sequently Dr. LIVINGSTONE was compelled to hurry
over his despatch to Lord CLARENDON, but he sub-
sequently persuaded them to wait an hour or two
more, which bas enabled him to give a somewhat
fuller account of his proceedings. He could not,
he says, have gone round the northern end of Lake
Nyassa, because the Johanna men would have fled
at the first sight of danger, as in fact they did fly
on hearing a report of the acts of the Alazitu at the
southern extremity. Had he got them past the lake
he believes they might have been faithful to him,
but be did not much deplore their loss, as they
were inveterate thieves. Of course he was un-
aware of the consternation the wretched MOOSA
and his crew had occasioned among his friends, and
indeed throughout all England, by their fabrica-
tions. We find by letters of a later date from Dr.
KIRK that the Sultan of Johanna has been ad-
dressed respecting the conduct of these men, and
that they will probably be punished for it. The
intense fear of the tribes of one another has been
one of Dr. LIVINGSTONE'S chief difficulties
throughout. - Thus, when he left the shores of the
lake he endeavoured to ascend Kirk's Range,
but the people below were so much afraid
of those above that it was a long while
before he could get his loads carried-up. Another
obstacle is the fear of all connected with the slave
trade for the name of anything English. Dr.
LIVINGSTONE intended to cross at the middle of
the lake, but all the Arabs at the crossing station
fled as soon as they heard that the English were
coming, and the owners of two dhows on the lake
kept them out of sight for fear they should be burnt
as slavers. We have to thank this fear for some of
the delay in hearing from the travellers. He had
written some letters in hopes of meeting with an
Arab slave trader, but they all " skedaddled" as
soon as they heard that the English were coining.
‘Ve get this letter at last through a party of slave
traders whom LIVINGSTONE had perhaps encoun-
tered accidentally.
Dr. LIVINGSTONE gives au interesting account of
his adventures, and adds some information-re-
specting the people, which shows they are not all
so degraded and ignorant as was believed. Some
of their towns are of considerable extent—the town
