to the climate and no liquors excepting tea made
with bad water, do not think we shall have alto

Nov 15.-There has been general feeling OF nnea-
siness here owing to Sir Garnet Wolseley's having
had slight attack of fever Happily however, ho is
improving, and will it is hoped be able to resume
work in few days. Any serious illness upon the
part of the General would be grievous blow to the
expedition. He is at present upon the Simoom hos

however, is an exception to this rule, for we
had heavy rain just before daylight ,!and there
is now a cool, pleasant breeze. In short time we
shall have cold, dry wind which comes over the
desert where it leaves its moisture behind it, but
picks up 80 large quantity Of fine dust that the air

wind for it dries up and cracks their skin, and even
causes bleeding at the nose and is not infreQuenty

Nothing of interest has occurred during the last
three days. except that the King andiChief OF Cape

able bodied men are liable to service either as fight

up sort of decree to this effect which. although
not prehaps strictly legal document. Is justiii-

steps which are doubt strong, but which are ab-
soutely necessary. The police were accordingly at
work all yesterday selling every abe-boded man
and taking him to the Castle, where, in the after
noon they were loaded and sent up country under an
escort. The town all day in uprOar the police
pushed their search into the down doors

official papers from the police officer, and although
this did not exempt them from being seized for few

LONDON. Thursday, Jan. I, 1874.
The investigation into the Vile du Havre disaster

lack of judgment in steering both vessels
A deposition was read from the man who was on
the lookout board the steamship, declaring that
he saw no lights on the Loeb Earn until after the
collision occurred. He also says the Loeb Earn did
not alter her course at all.
The carpenters apprentice of the Loeb Earn re-
terated the story that the mate of the latter vessel
threatened to fire upon the Frenchmen because of
thor rofuaal to aid in tho rescue of their comrades
He also testified to the dryncss of Capt. Surmonts
clothing when he came on board the ship.
