LONDON, MONDAY, JAN. 20, 1868.

Very deep and very general will be the satisfac-
tion with which the intelligence of Dr. LIVING-
STONE'S safety will be received in this country.
Notwithstanding the known untrustworthiness of
the Johanna men, the account which they gave of
the murder of the distinguished traveller was so
circumstantial, and the whole affair was so probable,
that there was ground for great anxiety and appre-
hension. No less an authority than Sir SAMUEL
BAKER, whose knowledge of the country and its in-
habitants is extensive and accurate, gave it as his
opinion that Dr. LIVINGSTONE had added another
to the long list of victims who hal given
their lives for the cause of scientific discovery.
Sir BopEtticx MuitcHlsox, though without Sir
SAMUEL BAKER'S personal acquaintance with the
dangers of the country, judged, as the event proves,
with more accuracy. He reminded Dr. LIVING-
STONE'S friends and admirers that the fate of ex-
plorers had often been uncertain, and that at one
time Sir SAMUEL BAKER himself was given up for
lost. The difficulty and uncertainty attending all
the means of,communication in uncivilised countries,
the deficiency of any regular means of transit, and
the solitudes into which the adventurer must pene-
trate, all combine to render his chance of forward-
ing regular news to his friends at a distance very
small indeed. These considerations, while they in-
crease the danger, increase also the probability of the
traveller's
ss-e undoubtedly
in spite of his prolonged silence.
I
übtedly a long while since direct intelli-
genceir:ls
o safety
was received from Dr. LIVINGSTONE, but the
news we publish this day gives us good reason to
hope and believe that we shall yet welcome him
home crowned with fresh laurels, and bringing great
discoveries. The search expedition has returned.
Its principal members arrived yesterday at Ply-
mouth, satisfied that Dr. LIVINGSTONE was not
murdered, as the Johanna men reported. He did
not, it seems, take the route expected from
the Ruvuma River along the north coast
of Lake Nyassa, but from the Ruvuma went
south, round c the south end of Lake Nyassa.
Possibly some intelligence he may have gathered
on the spot induced him to change his route. From
thence he proceeded to the north-west, and was left
pursuing that route, either with the view of ex-
ploring the west coast of Lake Nyassa, and thus
ascertaining how far it extended to the north, and
then proceeding to Lake Tanganyika, or else he
had gone direct for Tanganyika, and thence down
the Nile home. Should the latter supposition be
correct we may soon hear from Dr. LIVINGSTONE
himself. The particulars of his journey, at any
rate, from the information gathered by Mr.
YOUNG and his colleagues there is no more
reason to fear for his safety than there would have
been had the story of the Johanna men never been
circulated. The places mentioned by them—
Marenga, and Maksura—were found on
thelivlk a t asoau,
southern route instead of on the northern.
The search expedition followed Dr. LIVINGSTONE
up to within a few miles of where it was reported
the murder took place. They found that the
doctor and his " boys" were ferried over a marshy
lake by Marenga, but the Johann men, under
MoosA, made a detour round the lake, and returned
the next day to Marenga, saying that they had
deserted LIVINGSTONE and should return to the
coast, because he was leading them into a
country where they would be murdered by the
IMavite. The members of the expedition had inter-
views with the native porters who had carried Dr.
LIVINGSTONE'S luggage five days' journey further to
Pasombe. This news then is of a different character
from that set on foot by the Johanna men, They

were evidently desirous of screening themselves
from blame, having deserted their leader. It is
quite in accordance with what we know of Dr.
LIVINGSTONE'S enterprise and determination that
he should have pushed on regardless of their
treacherous and cowardly conduct. The fidelity of
such attendants is never worth much, as African
travellers have found over and over again. Dr.
LIVINGSTONE is happily no novice in his difficult
and dangerous undertaking. He has passed safely
through a thousand perils, and we may now cheer-
fully hope that under PROVIDENCE his courage and
self-rcliance will be rewarded with full success.

The Fenian news, which for some time past has
been languishing, is now most exciting and inte-
resting. With the exception of the men who
escaped at Manchester the police have been most
fortunate in having captured the chief members of
this movement. The public will learn with especial
interest that it is confidently believed the perpe-
trator of the Clerkenwell outrage has been cap-
tured. If so it will indeed be a great thing, for
such a miscreant is most unfit to be left loose on
society, and one feels naturally indignant
at the thought of the author of so much
misery escaping with impunity, while his
unfortunate victims are feeling the dread-
ful effects of his villainy. On Saturday afternoon
the police at Glasgow found two men on the public
road at Glasgow, and their attention was aroused
by the sound of firing. They.apprehended them,
and communicated with the authorities in London,
supposing them to be Fenians. When the detec-
tives arrived from London it was found, further-
more, that the prisoners had been connected
with the Fenian movement here, and also that
one of them BARIIATT, was the man who
had set fire to the barrel of gunpowder
outside the Clerkenwell prison. Until a few months
ago it seems that these men have been resident in
Glasgow for a year or two. It seems strange that,
having so far escaped detection since the outrage,
they should not have been more circumspect iu
their movements, but a sort of fatality often appears
to attend those who are similarly circumstanced,
and to lead them on to destruction. These pri-
soners are now in London, and therefore the full
particulars concerning them will soon be obtained.
On Saturday evening Bedford-square, Blooms-
bury, was the scene of more Fenian exploits, and
a man was arrested by two detectives, whom they
had kept a sharp look out upon for two or three days
previously. As soon, however, as they signified
their intention of taking him prisoner, he discharged
a revolver at them, but fortunately no injury was
done. He rah off, but they succeeded in following
and securing him. He was brought up at Bow-
street to-day. His conduct, after the police spoke
to him, fully justifies the course they had pursued,
and confirms their suspicions in the most
unequivocal manner. A few years ago
we should have been surprised to learn that the days
were coming when firing in the streets of London
would be an every-day occurrence almost, at any
rate that the account of it would produce no great
wonder. The desperate conduct of all who attach
themselves to this cause of Fenianism is most ex-
traordinary, and it certainly proves that they can
only be dealt with in the most summary style and
in the most determined spirit.

In Ireland also the authorities have been busy,
as some notable arrests have been made. GEORGE
FRANCIS TRAIN was arrested in Queenstown on some
charge of Fenian conspiracy. The sentiments which
he entertains towards this country are well known
to be of a hostile nature, and if he takes up Fenian-
ism, it is high time that some check should be put
to his proceedings. At the same time two others
were taken, a commercial traveller, and a merchant
of Bostm. The reputed editor of the Irishman, Dr.
WATERS, has been arrested under the Lord-Lieute-
naut's warrant and placed in Kilmainhana Gaol.
He took a prominent part in the funeral procession
at Dublin. A most daring act was performed
in this city, for a Fenian proclamation was
actually posted in front of the Mansion-house. It
was not at first noticed by the police, b►lt when
attention was drawn to it: in consequence of the
crowds that had collected in the vicinity, it was of
course removed. This extraordinary proceeding
shows chiefly the defiant spirit which animates
these characters, and the utter lawlessness of their
conduct. Their great object appears to be to ex-
hibit their untiring hostility to all constituted
authority, and their determination to exult
in their power to set the law at defi-
ance. The principal object of the inflated
address thus posted was to proclaim that the Irish-
men of America were united, and that the Irishmen
of England had better follow their example if they
wished to succeed in their attempts at liberty.
A court-martial has been held on Sergeant
MAGUIRE of the 72d Highlanders, on the charge of
complicity with the Fenians. The result is not yet
known, but the evidence was much against him. It
is indeed astonishing to see how this mischievous
conspiracy has spread in all directions and penetrated
into quarters where it could not have been sup-
posed to find an entrance. After all these striking
instances of the dangerous character of Fenianism,
it is satisfactory to find that the Special Constable
movement is progressing most favourably, and
during the past week it has been carried on with
unflagging zeal and spirit. The chief thing to
notice in connection with this affair is that the
movement is not confined to any particular class.
The greatest preponderance is given to the
working part of the community, but that
follows as a matter of course when the same spirit
animates the different sections of society. This is
very pleasing intelligence indeed ; so litttle can we
estimate the character or measure the strength of
the Fenian movement that a sudden call may be
made upon any parish in London, and it is espe-
cially important that all should be in readiness if the
emergency arise. The numerous captures that
have been made are most encouraging, for it is
useless to expect that Fenianism can be put down
effectually until its leaders are rendered harmless.
A decisive step must be put to their proceedings,
or else their manoeuvres and machinations may
again perplex us when the uninitiated may fancy
that all danger is over.

It is somewhat mortifying to find, after all the
long and costly preparations for the expedition to
Abyssinia, that we have, as usual, to lament over a
whole catalogue of mistakes and omissions. So far
as the main business of the expedition is concerned
all promises well. The people, instead of offering
any formidable resistance, vie with each other in
proffers of friendship and assistance. The KING
caa hardly keep his army together, and is confronted
by a powerful band of ,rebels, independently of the
foreign invaders. The captives, according to the
last intelligence received from them, were
well, and looking anxiously for their deli-
verers. The climate is by no means so
bad nor the access to the country so diffi-
cult as was feared. Water and food are ob-
tainable, and the health of the troops continues
good. The entrance to Abyssinia presents no more
difficulties than might be expected from a hilly
country, and all obstacles can be surmounted by a
little energy and patience. On the road to Senafe

the path upon the hills suddenly narrows and then
ascends with great abruptness, so that it was a
tedious matter to get the commissariat mules up,
especially as the attendant sepoys were almost too
lazy to pick one up if it fell. Still all these are minor
matters, and there is nothing formidable about
the Abyssinian Expedition so far but the misman-
agement which invariably attends British exploits
of the kind. The mules are dying at Annesley Bay
by the hundred, partly from disease, and partly
also from want of care and from want of water.
With all the preparation there is a lack of con-
densers, and the muleteers have been so badly cared
for that they have deserted in large numbers. They,
too, have suffered from want of water, which a
little care might have procured, and have suf -
fered, too, for want of warm clothing, which
was promised to them before starting.
One mule driver actually died of cold
at Senafe, while at Annesley they are suffering from
the thirst produced by excessive heat. Again one
European regiment is kept waiting at Annesley
for warm clothes, and the combination of Snider
rifles with Enfield ammunition is another of the
official blunders. Tents are lacking for the labourers,
and should the rainy season mac on the omission
would prove a very serious one. Surely our autho-
rities at home and at Bombay might manage things
a little better. Some blunders may be excusable in
time of war, but such a host of omissions when no
actual fighting was going on are altogether un-
pardonable.
