TUESDAY, March 1S.-A great crowd

both cases was that a governors certificate
and the seal of the state gave the holders

have been elected from the state at large,

the present Unyambezi sultan of I'm

berry. The able found with these men
ten tusks of ivory which they plundered
from an Arab caravan, and were spying

q gang Of robbers upon him. This end
ed in the abbe killing the men and
taking the ivory TO Unyanyembe. After
this party of the Church Missionary
society-apparently under Mr.. Stokes
came up, but having discovered that the
chief, Myungu, was plundering, they
took the road by Ituvu, and thereby
avoided him. Another church mission
ary party, seemingly under Mr.. Penrose,
fell into his hands, and was attacked
near lake or pool of water, where the
trees gave cover to the enemy. Mr..
Penrose was killed, and also sixty.two Of
his men, chiefly Unysnwezi porters, but
including ten Zanxibarians. Mr.. PEN.
rose is said to have fought bravely,
holding the robbers in check - long q
his cartridges lasted, killing sixteen with
his own hand before he fell. Everything
was lost; and few days after the empty

sixty.three dead bodies wero counted,
including that of Z white man, supposed
to be Mr., Penrose.
