Some OF our scientific and literary men have
been acting very small part with respect to the

first they were apparently annoyed at finding that
that notable feat should have been accomplished by
one outside OF their charmed circle and especially
that the honor should have fallen upon an American
Even parties connected with our Royal Geographic
cal Society must needs express their doubts, forget
full OF the fact that their Search Expedition has
played a most ignobe part ana that the sooner
they square accounts with the public in that
matter the better for the reputation of all con-
cerned. The authenticity OF DR.. LivingstOne's
letters was first called in question, and
then nsinuations were thrown ont rs to whether
the great traveller had been ever reached. The de-
famatory process had attained such dimensions
that the heads of the Foreign Once and the son Of
Dr. Livingstone had to be appealed to by Mr. STAN
ley, seeing that he was reported to have brought
letters to them from the Doctor. Lord Granville
stated that he had inquired into the matter and
the Foreign ONCE, and MI Wylde, Of the Consular
and Slave Trade Department, had received de-
spatches from DR.. Livingstone, and that they had
not the slightest doubt as to the genuineness OF
these papers, which were published on Tues
day last. Mr.. Oswell Livingstone also bore testi.
mOny to having received, through Mr.. Stanley,
the diary OF his father duly signed and sealed, with
written instructions on the outside; and it appears

AS was only to be expected from the generous ma
ture of Foreign Secretary, Lord Granville took
occasion to pay well-merited compliment to the
able and adventurous American. When in Paris
last week Mr.. Stanley was entertained at grand
banquet by the American residents. Mr.. Washburne,
the American Minister, presided, and addresses

to the toast OF his health, Mr. Stanley said that 1t

"Here he added, ais Ct 600; when 1t is spent take
another thousand. and then another, and another
still. Don't keep strict account, but find Living
stone" He also described his interview with Dr..
Kirk, the English Consul at Zanzibar. He spoke in
very severe terms OF Dr. Kirk. That gentleman
had Afforded DIR. Livingstone no succor whatever,
and had spoken, when he saw him at Zanzibar, in
n diScouraging and Indifferent tone about the
prospect OF finding him. Mr.: Charles Austin, an
hasty censure OF Dr. Kirk. Mr.. Stanley reached
London the I'd inst. and has been quite lionized
since his arrival. He has received numerous invi-
tations fr0m our most eminent men, and Lady
Franklin has invited him to visit her. He has
brought home with him an African boy of ten years
OF age who has become favorite with the ladies.
Mr. Stanley Is described as a low-szed, thick-set,
young-looking man. Sir II. Rawinson and Herr
Kiepert, Berlin geOgrapher OF eminence, have
published letters impugning the statements as
cribed to Dr. Livingstone in his second letter about
the Nile and the watershed of Central Africa as
containing geographical blunders A short time
will we have no doubt, set at rest all difficulties in
