SAFETY OF DR LIVINGSTONE. The following telegram was received in London on Saturday night by the Fahnouth, Gibraltar, and Malta Telegraph Company :  "Kirk reports from -Zanzibar, Livingstone safe at Unyanyembe. Visited north end of Taganyika. Rivers said to flow into Lake Taganyika. Stanley near the coast with letters. " Goyim/ma." In publishing this news, the Observer remarks "The telegram which conveys the important news of Dr Livingstone's safety cannot be absolutely correct. Taganyika is a huge lake running due north and south. On the north it is—or was supposed to be—bounded by the Mountains of the Moon; on the south it gives birth to several tributaries, of which some lose themselves in fund and swamp; others, after a detour to the west, return in a huge horseshoe, and form the Zambesi. Taganyika is southwest of the Great Victoria Nyanza, and lies between the Equator and lat. 10* towards the Zanzibar coed. That rivers of any magnitude should flow into thetP north end of Taganyika seems to point to a yet farther system of central lakes, Taganyika, on our present maps, being represented as lapping at its north end the south shores of the Mountains of the Moon. But that Livingstone is at Unyanyembe seems hardly probable, Unyanyembe being a district on the western coast, in lat. 20*-25*, and considerably to the south-west of Taganyika. These geographical details are, however, the least important portions of our telegram; and it is quite possible that there may be as many Unyanyembes in Africa as there are Hamptons in England." The following letter from Sir Henry Rawlinson contains additional information :  "Royal Geographical Society, "Burlington Gardens, W. • " Sra,—l have to-day received the following telegram from Lieutenant Dawson at Zanzibar, sent via Bombay, and despatched from that place on June 6: —‘ Nile question appears settled. Underground village next attracts Livingstone's attention. Stores will be forwarded immediately.' This telegram is more than usually obscure, but I infer from it as follows :—Certain news had reached Lieutenant Dawson at Zanzibar from Livingstone (probably from Ujiji). Livingstone had ascertained the drainage question, probably that Taganyika joined Baker's Lake, otherwise he would not have thrned back to tire'-ernder. ground village at Rua, far to the sout4i-west. The intelligence was brought from Zanzibar to Bombay by a vessel sent probably tic.. m the latter place on receipt of news of the hurricane. I infer that Lieutenant •" Dawson, acting under his instractioni, will proceed to the interior to join Livingstone and complete his researches.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant "a RAWI  The Board of Trade Inquiry at Liv loss of the Canard steamer Tripol; suspension of the captain's o.ritaoE In the financial year 187041" th in Great Britain on 1,118,298 £279,573.
