ENGLISH NATIONAL HoPE-INDIvIDUAL EFFORT
FOR LIvINGsToNE's RELIEF.

the cause of the personal relief of the African
traveller, or, SHOULD that fail, in behalf Of that

The latest meeting of the Royal Geographic
cal Society was numerously attended. Sir
Bartee Frere, who was In the chair, stated
what steps had been taken by the council with
regard to the search for Livingstone. The
council, he said, chad come to resolution that
the time was now when they should endeavor
to afford assistance to Livingstone, whose
whole history was closely connected
with the society. Two and half
years had elapsed since they had received
any written communication from DR.. Living
stone, and he then described himself in great
want of everything that was requisite for travel
in Africa. The government and the society
took all proper means at that period to for
ward him supplies, and as he had not then
passed beyond the ordinary route of traders
it was thought they would reach him without
difficulty. But, unfortunately, disturbances
broke out among those tribes that interviewed
between Livingstone and the coast, and it was
found impossible to reach him. What evil
dence was there that the great traveller and
fellow countryman was still alive and actively
pursuing the great object of his life? There
had been various rumors about him, but they
all described him as doing things which showed
he was carrying out the plan he laid down be-
fore leaving England. They believed him to
be still alive, with spirit unbroken, and his
hopes still fixed upon the great object of his
life. The reason for the society pressing for
ward this matter now was that small
steamer was about to go through the Suez
Canal to Zanzibar. The council of the society
had appointed subcommittee to receive ap-
pications from national search volunteers.
The response to their call had been most
effectual. They had already received forty
applications-one since they had come into
that room-and he was sure that every day
would bring more. With regard to pecuniary
means the council proffered grant of $500;
and there were many subscriptions"
Mr.. Walter Brodie held that ''as the British
government had spent eight or nine millions
on the rescue of a dozen persons in Abyssinia,
