The steamship Moravian, Captain Acton,
from Liverpool, at 3 o'clock on the afternoon
Of the 7th, via Londonderry on the evening of
the Sth inst, arrived at Portland at i o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
THE DEATH OF DR.. LIVINGSTONE.
A report had reached the English Consul at
Zanzibar that DR.. Livingstone, the celebrated
African explorer and half of his party, had
been murdered by the Caifres. The report
rests on the authority of nine native atten-
dants who escaped. The attack was sudden,
but the Doctor had time to Overpower those
facing him, but was cut down from behind,
while endeavoring to reload his revolver.
THE ARMY OF THB POPE.
The effective strength of the Pontifical army,
which on the 9Th January was IL, lSS, had risen
on the 18th of February to Il, 1856. Four corps
have increased considerably - the French
Legion, the Zouaves, the French Chasseurs,
and the auxiliaries. The legion has received
533 recruits, and at present numbers 1922
men, one-hali being at Rome and the other at
Civita Vecchia. The Zouaves have risen from
1853 to 1917, of whom 1902 are in Rome and
215 at Viterbo. A third battalion is said to
going to be formed. The foreign Chasseurs
were only 1856; they are now 1922; 240 only
are in Rome; the rest are disseminated among
the provinces where brigandage prevails.
Finally the auxliaries, a sort of National
Guard especially established for the repres-
sion of brigandage have been raised from 500
to 500. They are divided into squadrons.
Every man receives If. SOC. day when on
service, and is armed and equipped by the
military administration.
THE TURKISH TREASURY.
The want of money in the Turkish Treasury
is so great that something bold must be at
tempted to provide for the engagements of the
coming month, the commencement of the
Turkish financial year. The deficit of the
year is as yet not ascertained, but it is esti-
mated that if everythingi is taken into account,
including the repayment of the late temporary
advances, which come within the category of
expenditure to be provided for, there will be
between 93,000,0 900 and "a, 100000 deficit.
This on an income under ETA, 900 600 is GER
! tainly startling, and the prospects of the
country are such that it is but reasonable to
look for great additional requirements in the
ensuing year.
If the secularization of the mortmain por-
tion of the VacOuf (Mosque property is
| adopted, the Porte will have fresh security
for raising new and large loan. Whether
| this will succeed is somewhat doubtful, but
one thing is certain, the loan-contracting sys-
tenn cannot go on much longer. The internal
condition of the empire is going from bad to
worse, local taxation is grievously increased
and increasing, and the abuses of administra-
tion are greater than ever they were. To the
conversion of the Vacouf, the great brik of the
landed property of the empire, here is a
formidable opposition from the trge fanatical
section of the Mussulmen, WI even now look
with very dissatisfied aspect at the turn affairs
are taking.

Discovery OF Seven Bone Caves.

recent bulletin of the Royal Academy OF
Belgium contains an account OF the exploration
of seven caverns at Furfooz, in the province OF
Namur, in which beds of clay and gravel, mixed
with bones of animals some being of species
now extinct-were discovered. The most re.
markable bed IS one of yellow clay, which con-
tains angular blocks of Limestone mingled with
bones of men and animals, and remains of inn
plements and articles of domestic use. No date
is assigned IoT these relics, Dut tney are sag q
Mr.. Dupont who explored the caves in COM
pany with MIR. Van Beneden, is of opinion that
the former occupants were contemporaries of
certain species OF animals which are now found
in the polar regions only, or on the sumrnits of
high mountains, and that the traces of handl-
work indicate state of civilization less ad-
vanced than that OF the stone age, as exhibited
nv the specimens discovered in Denmark and
Switzerland. Traces of parallel state of civil.
zation exist in the caves in the south of France,
of which Mr.. Lartet and the late Henry Christy
have given an interesting account, now in
course OF publication, with copious Illustrations

A BIRD SHow-At the annual bird show at
the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, on the 9th ult.,
nearly one thousand one hundred specimens
were exhibited, including jackdaw, all white;
an almost equally singular specimen of the
hedge-sparrow genus, all white, and an Aus
tralian magpie, which has tenor voice, that,
with little musical culture, might be turned
to profit as an exhibition.
