PEDITION.—The Livingstone Search and Relief Committee of the Royal Geo/raphical Society have issued a second report, in which they state the final judgment at which they have arrived on Lieutenant Dawson's conduct in command of the late expedition. After considering that gentleman's report, and his answers to a number of written questions sent to him by the committee, they have come to the conolusion that Lieutenant Dawson was not justified in breaking up the expedition on the grounds stated by him, and they express their disapprobation of his conduct in so doing. They further consider "that, as the responsibility of breaking up the expedition on the 3rd of May rests entirely with Lieutenant Dawson, they are not required to express an opinion on the oonduct subsequent to that date of the subordinate members of the original party who acted at Zanzibar unties no official obligations. With regard, however, to. the Rev. Mr New, who was engaged by Lieutenant Dawson at Zanzibar, they feel bound to say that, having heard from him a full explanation of the Circumstances under which he acted, they acquit him of all blame, and place it on record that he has in no way forfeited their confidence."  LADY Fassmatr.—Lady Franklin, it appears, has received notice to quit her house at Benisngton-gore, and a letter appeared in the Times of Thursday, signed " One of the Public," expressing indignation and, 'among other matters, spoke of Lady Franklin's " straitened means." Lady Franklin has in consequence written the letter which follows :—" I am deeply touched by the sympathy of your correspondent in my behalf, knowing as I read it expres3es the feelings of many whose affectionate solicitude must be the pride and joy of my remaining years. But I beg your permission to clear up one point on which there may be misapprehension. My income, secured to me for life upon entailed property, is sufficient for my principal wants and very quiet style of living, and I desire to acknowledge gratefully the fact that when three years ago I reeived an addition to it whieh,.as in duty bound, I represented to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, they conferred upon me, nevertheless, the boon of confirming ray Admiral's widow's pension. The low rent and peculiar chatacter of the modest home I am now summoned to quit, permit me the otherwise unattainable advantage to my health of spending the worst months of the year in warm climates, from which I return only the more eagerly to a home on which I have spent all I could spa-e to make it habitable and convenient. But the indulgence sought for me must be founded rather upon consideration for my increasing infirmities than upon the exigencies of a poverty from which I am happily preserved."
