The Mills Of the Gods Grind Slowly.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Attorney- General
Barlow states that the reports that the civil
and criminal suits against Tweed, Sweeney
and others, have been compromised and
abandoned are false. The friends of the
defendants in January last offered to COM
promise by the payment of certain sums,
but Barlow declined to entertain such a
proposition. A hearing on their demurrers
will be had the latter part of September on
the civil suits, and they will probably be
tried before the close of the year, and the
criminal suits will be brought before the
court as soon as there is a Judge on the
bench in whom the public has confidence.
A letter is published to-day from Attorne =
General Barlow, requesting Sheriff Bren-
nan not to arrest Andrew j. Garvey on the
civil process against Tweed, Ingerson and
others.

NEW YORK, Aug. IA correspondent
of an English journal nf Aug. says: "Stan.
ley reached London this morning. During
| a conversation with him tried to ascertain
what the total expenses of his expedition
were. q think may safely put them ovel
at fifty thousand dollars was his answer
| All the bills have not reached me, so thai
| can net form an exact idea, but the tele
| graphing of the two letters Of DIR. Living
stone TO Mr. Bennett cost alone 81 900, ana
those must, of course, be reckoned as al
| item. / was compelled to telegraph
them, for ] pledged my word t.
DR.. Livingstone to deliver his London
letters at the earliest opportunity, and con
sequeDtly London would have had earliel
information had mailed Mr.. Benefits let
ters instead OF telegraphing them Witt
reference to future plans, Stanley said tina
he could as yet say nothing. He did no
deny rumor that he was going next Il
China, but at present was going to rest ant
work in London"
The London Spectator remarks that thu
Livingstone letters are written with Yul
gar POPULARITY foreign to the great travel
ers character. As his letters all suggest
the great traveller, left to himself for tire
years, seeing no white face, believing him
self abandoned, sick, hungry, heartbl oxen
has become liberated in mind, has even
perhaps, sustained some temporary iniur
to his intellectual powers. His discoverie
evidently puzzle Sir 81. Rawfinson, and s
he has forwarded bis diary to his daughte
sealed, with orders that it shall not b
opened till bis return or death.
