LIVINGSTONE'S FAMILY.
From the London Post, June 1e.

From the London Post, June 49,
Last evening, at q meeting OF the Royal Geo.
graphical Society," Sir Bartle Frere having gone to
Cambridge to take an honorary degree, the chair
was taken by Sir Henry Rawlinson, who, before
proceeding to the papers OF the evening said the
meeting would like to hear what the government
would do as regarded the family of the late DR..
Livingstone. Sir Bartle Frere had already In
formed the society that the pension OF 220O per
annum would be continued to the family and that
an application had been made to the governments
urging also grant OF money. The amount
recommended by the deputatiOn had been f10, 900
Ell, 900, but the government, taking all the CIR
cumstances into consideration. had thought that
justice would be done by granting sum Of e., OO0
and Parliament would be asked to vote this
amount. The government had also undertaken to
pay all arrears to the followers and servants OF the
Doctor. About 81, 900 had been due in this way
when his followers reached Zanzibar, and the
Consul there drew Tor that amount on the ROYAL
Geographical Society. The council, Though feeling
the greatest interest IN and honor for DIT. Living
stone, did not think they we're fairly liable Tor
these debts, and Her Maesty's government had
taken the whole upon themselves, so that now all
pecuniary matters between the late Dr. Living
stone and the geographical Society had been salts

UP THE HUDSON.

As early as seven O'Clock yesterday morning the
various steamboat landings on the broad wharves
OF the Hudson were alive with humanity, who,
anxious for breath of fresh air, gladly awaited
themselves of an excursion trip up the river one
OF the many little parks villas that lie lnvit-
ingly on either the New York or New Jersey shore.
Up the Hudson, and within sight OF the Battery,
during the veloDg day, so far as mortal eye could
reach, the sails and banners OF boats and barges
came to view, indeed. more excursion parties
passed up the Hudson River from New York and
Harlem yesterday than have been noted during
the present summer. The day was sufficiently
hot to provoke several profane observations, and
great the rush Tor fresh ar that the steam
boats plying TO and fro on the Huds IN were
almost insufficient to supply the de-
mands of travel. Those who could
not AFFORD 1t and those VINO could, but who did
not choose to go on an excursion five or fifty miles
up the river, pleased themselves by visiting
places more contiguous to New York, and the
sequence was the erryboaJs connecting the city
and the Jersey shore and Long Island were
crowded almost TO excess during the greater por-
ton OF the day. trip up the Hudson just is
to some persons the very essence OF happiness.
Certain it IS that great many thousands OF the
honest citizens OF New York seemed to think 50

day for Shadyside, Pleasant Valley and Fort Lee;
and from hai.past seven A. NJ. to three 7. Nj.

river, landing at groves ana picturesque places
between the city and Newburg. PROBABLY the
