TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.


LONDON, May 90, 1872.
The following special despatch concerning
the safety Of DR.. Livingstone was received to-
day at the Bureau of the New YORK HERALD
here from the resident HERALD correspondent
1t Zanzibar. It was telegraphed direct from
Alden, having reached there by the regular
mail steamer from Zanzibar:-
THE GLORIOUS CONFIRMATION.
have just received the following detailed
confirmation Of the rumor which formerly
reached here, and which I sent on to you, that
Stanley had found Livingstone, and that the
two explorers were together at Ujiji.
THE CHANNEL By WHICH THE TIDNas CAME.
Seyd ben Maid, one of the wealthiest and
most powerful Arab chieftains at Ujiji, left that
town on the 18th Of January and arrived at
Unyanyembe the halfway station on the
regular and shortest caravan route between
'Ujiji and the coast, on the 9th Of February.
THE 'AMERICAN GENTLEMAN AT UJIJI.
Upon his arrival he announced to Sheikh
ben Nasib an important chief Of that place,
we'll known in Zanzibar owing to his being
engaged largely in commerce with that place,
that the american gentleman" Stanley the
HERALD correspondent, had reached Ujiji
about fifty days before, and had been already
staying there month when he (Majid) had
left there.
sTANLEY's ROUTE.
Stanley had been compelled, he further sta
ted, to get to Ujiji by very circuitous route,
as the regular caravan route had been rendered
impossible on account Of native war among
the local chieftains; and it had been only by
good luck and perseverance that Stanley had
managed to get through OF all.
LIVINGSTONE AMONG THE LAKES.
AT the time Of SANKEY'S arrival Livingstone
had temporarily left Ujiji on an exploring
expedition into the neighboring country, and
had established his camp at Myemba, which
Is twenty days march from Ujiji, and about
midway between the Lakes Of Tanganyika and
Victoria Nyanza.
This agrees exactly with our prediction OF
the time of the first arrival at Bombay, two
years ago, Of the news of Livingstone having
safely reached Ujiji, that the great traveller
would probably spend considerable time in
exploring the chain Of huge interior lakes
which we now know exist in this part Of
Africa.-ED. HERALD
MEETING OF LIVINGSTONE AND STANLEY
Before seyd ben Maid, however, had left
Utji Livingstone had returned from this ex-
petition, and had met and welcomed Stanley,
and the two white men had taken up their
residence together.
BY COURIER TO THE COAST
sheikh ben Nasib, to whom seyd ben Maid
communicated this intelligence in pursuance
Of request which had been previously made
TO him to at once send to his brother, Abdal-
lab ben Nash, merchant in Zanzibar, any
news that he might hear of Livingstone OF
Stanley despatched his trusty slave, So eed,
three days afterwards-that is, as soon as the
necessary preparations for the journey could
be made-with these welcome and authentic
tidings to the coast.
ARRIVAL AT ZANZIBAR.
The slave Sa'eod left Unyanyembe on Feb.
