FATE OF DR. LIVIAGSTONE.  The Secretary of the Admiralty forwarded the following for publication : " Commodore Ehflyer, in a letter dated at Bombay, the 13th of March laet, reports that her Majesty's! ship Wasp had returned to Zanzibar, from Quilos, whiz Mr. Seward, her Majesty's Acting Political Resident at Zanzibar, and states that the information which that officer had boon able to obtain respecting the reported death of Dr. Livingstone was chiefly of a confirmatory nature." Admiralty, April 5, 1867. _ . . . .  The Time's' of India Of the 1311 of Mareh states that the intelligence reoeived from Zanzibar now leaves no doubt of the death of Dr. Livingstone. The statement of an Arab, named Moose, one of the heroic traveller's most trusty followers, who, with a few others of the expedition, returned to the East Afriosn Coat in December, confirms the news that their leader wee murdered. It would appear that Dr. Livingetone had crossed Lake Nyasaa about the middle of Sep.-ember last, and had advanced a few stages beyond its western shores, when he encountered a horde of savages of the Mafite tribe. He was marching, as usual, ahead of his party, having nine or 10 personal attendants, principally beys from Nassick, immediately behind him. The savages are said to have set upon them without any provocation, and with very little warning Dr. Livingstone's men fired, and before the smoke of their muskets had cleared away their leader had fallen beneath the stroke of a battle-axe, and his men speedily shared the same fate. Moose, who witnessed the encounter and the death-blow of his master from behind a neighbouring tree, immediately retreated, and, meeting the rest of the party, they fled into the deep forest, and eventually made their way back to Lake Nyassa, whence they returned to the coast with • caravan. When the DOWD of Dr. Livingstone's sad death reached Zanzibar, the English and other European Consuls lowered their flags, an example which was followed by all the ships in the harbour, as well as by the &titan. It may be worth while to remark that Dr. Livingstone him. self had a strong presentiment that he would never return from the expedition which has terminated thus disestromily; and this presentiment he frequently expressed to the officers of her Majesty's ship Penguin, who were the last Europeans he saw before starting for the interior.  We And the following in the Times of India of March 14—a day later than the one above quoted:— We are very glad to learn, from later news received from Zanzibar, that there is a possibility of the apparently circumstantial account of Dr. Livingstone's death, as narrated by his follower Moosa, and published in our issue of yesterday, turning out to be incorrect. It appears that Dr. Seaward, the Acting Political Agent at Zanzibar, on bearing the report that Dr. Livingstone had been murdered, made inquiries among the traders of Keelwa Koinga (Quiloa) who had just crossed from Nyassa ; and from what they knew, or perhaps from their knowing nothing of the reported death of the traveller, that gentleman is inclined to entertain the opinion that the story of Moose and his companions was merely trumped up to account for their desertion of their master. In the abeence of all the details promised by the next mail, we are sorry that we cannot attach great weight to Dr. Seaward's opinion; but it is sufficient, in the meantime, to keep alive the hope that Dr. Livingstone may yet return to give to the world his valuable diecoveriee, and to reap the reward of his philanthropio labours. I The following is Dr. Seaward's letter to the Bombay Government :  "To
