More About DIR. Livingstone.
The Medical Gazette and Times says
II. A. Churchill, Esq G. B., her Maesty's
Consul and Political Agent at Zanzibar, has just
arrived in this country on medical certificate. We
are happy to hear that Mr.. Churchill speaks with
confidence of the safety of DIR. Livingstone, from
whom he has had letters of date more recent
than that of his reported murder. 1t is Mr..
Churchills opinion that DR.. Livingstone, having
| heard of the discovery of the northern portion
of Lake Albert Nyanza by Sir s. Baker, has
directed his route in search of the southern
boundary of that lake, and that in the course of
1 few months it is probable that further news
will be heard from DR.. Livingstone himself.
Death of Lady Duff Gordon.
The London Telegraph, in noticing the death
of this celebrated woman, says
Lady Duff Gordon was born with the dover
of talent and fine taste. Her mother was Mrs.
Austin, whose writings are so well known; and
by the maternal line she inherited also the intel
lectual powers of the Taylors of Norwich. Peo-
pie say with perhaps little truth nowadays,
4 that few persons write a book, but none write
only one" Lady Gordon was certainly an eX
ample of the continuity of authorship; for her
works might fill a whole shelf in a library, and
what is more, they would be constantly taken
down with never-decreasing delight in the purity
4 of their English and the solid value of their mat
ter. She was a mere child when she translated
Niebuhr's "Greek Legends" after which there
came from her unwearying pen in rapid success
giers,n an admirable and useful abridgment of
4 Feuerbach's Criminal Trials" translation of
Ranke's "History of Prussia, another transla-
ton from the French of NJ. Leon de Waillys
'Stella and Vanessa," followed by the 'Village
Doctor" from the original of the Countess
dArbouville. She gave her English readers,
mOrever, another volume of Ranke, his ''Ferdi-
nand and MaXimiiap," and she published, in
1854, Moltke's Russian Campaigns of 1S2S-29
upon the Danube"
. Important as some of these labors undoubtedly
were, however, the deceased lady became most.
/ widely known through her Letters from the
Cape" published in 1864; and the Letters from
Egypt" to which country her failing health had
/ lately banished her. These last made her name
familiar in every intelligent hOuschold-describ-
1 ing, as they did, the comparatively novel and
picturesque life of an English lady among the
Fellaheen of the Lower Nile. Under sentence
of death as she was her gallant and energetic
nature extracted much happiness out of her
exile and that same 'atterglow OF Egypt"
which famous artist has painted with so
much tenderness and beauty, seemed to lrradlate
/ the closing years of her life.
COpts Amenans, Fellahcen, and all the motley
peoples of the river, spoke of her with puzzled
affection and referred their Quarrels to her
whenever they could. There was a serious pro-
position made once, we believe, to appoint her
Cadi or judge and the Moiahs themselves hesi-
tated to maintain that there could be any region
of Mohammed's Paradise te which so Just and
wise woman albeit n katfir, might not, by the
grace of Allah the Compassionate finally attain.
Her kindness, her courage, and her unprejudiced
sympathy established her in the hearts of these
Nilotic dwellers; and she truly saw great
deal of the sorrow, well as of the simple
pleasures, attending life in Egypt. She wit
Il messed at different times an insurrection,
plague, a murrain, and, worse than any of these
things, the cruel conscriptions for labor or mill
/ tary service which disgrace the Egyptian rule
and impoverish its subjects. She was always,
4 TO the extent of her power, on the side OF the
poor peasants, of whom she spoke well both in
her "Letters, and in conversation with those
ga tnI hnr tl,nir NynNrn n
4 and down the river. Many hut upon its bank
will be saddened by the news that lei Sitti" is
no more.
Protest of the T@ry urc cSraI Hl Against the Irish
The following is the protest which was en-
#tered against the third reading of the Irish
Church bill-
Dissentent /. Because this bill, for the first
Itime since the foundation of the British mon
arch introduces, so far as Ireland is concerned,
" the principle, unrecOgniZed in any other cOun-
Htry in Europe, of entire severance of the
State from the support of any and every form of
#religious worship.
q Because the adoption of this principle with
Sregard to Ireland cannot but give great encour-
6agement to the designs of those who desire its
" Extension to every part OF the United Kingdom.
3. Because it is a violent stretch of the power
H of Parliament to resume Il grant made by itself
Il in perpetuity; still more to cOniscate property
"a held by long prescription, and by title inde
pendent of Parliament.
"a 4. Because If this principle be well founded as
fegards private property, it is still more so with
Gregard to that which has been solemnly set
apart for the purposes of religion and the SER
Hgice of Almighty God.
s. 5. Because the legislation attempted in this
bill tends to shake confidence in all property,
II tand especially that which rests upon a Parlia-
& nentary title, heretofore considered as the most
unassailable of all.
6. Because it is impossible to place church,
n disestablished and disendowed, and bound
81 together only by the tie of voluntary assoca-
tion, on footing of equality with the perfect
W organization of the Church of Rome, whereby,
# Especially in Ireland, the laity are made com
&pletey subseryient to the priesthood, the priests
she bishops, and the bishops themselves are
subject to the uncontrolled authority of foreign
X potentate.
z. Because this bill will be felt as a grievous
= Injustice by the Protestants of Ireland who
Through their Irish Parliament, surrendered their
~ political independence by treaty, the funda-
mental condition of which was the greater Sc
AZ curity of the Protestant establishment.
6. Because, while this measure will tend to
4 ALLEVIATE those who have hitherto been the firm
est supporters of the British throne and British
cOnnecton, SO far from concilatng much less
N|satisfying, it will only stimulate to fresh de-
+ mands that large portion of the Roman Catholic
population Of Ireland which looks forward to
q Interior and very different objects. and, above
all, to ultimate emancipation from the control
of the British Legislature.
W The protest was signed by AZ members of the
House of Lords.
