the Atlantic coast we havo bad this season in the United States some of the deepest snows and sharpest spells of freezing weather ever recorded for December. Within the last week or two, in West Virginia and Kentucky, they ‘have also had some fierce thunder storms. Putting all these things together, we conclude ‘that this winter to this point has been a re- markably stormy one around the entire circuit of the globe in the northern section, and that ‘worse, perhaps, remains behind. Whe Herald's African Expedition—A Good a Sensation in FE From « special London despatch, which we publish this morning, our readers will perceive that the intelligence of our African expedition in search of Dr. Livingstone has made a sensa- tion and a good impression in England; that, Her Majesty’s government having refused assistance in behalf of an expedition ia search of the long-absent explorer in the wilds of Africa, the Geographical Society at London now appeals to the British people; that the London Zelegraph declares that the national honor is at stake in’ this matter, and that ‘when we see the private cpterprise of foreigners daring and suffering in @ cause ‘which is our own we should be put to the lush if Englishmen did not come freely for- ‘ward to aid in the projected English expedi- tion.” It appears, further, that a great effort ‘will be made to start this expedition during the present month, ; We hope the movement will be successful, and we think that our explorer’s detailed re- port of the equipment of his caravan and of his journey trom the sea coast to Unyan- yembe, and the general information in his in- teresting letter from that point in regard to Bhe journey still before him, will very mate- rially assist our English colaborers in the equipment of their expedition, and will be of the greutest value as a guide to the expedition itself, It may so turn out, too, that this English expedition, if rapidly pushed forward, will get into the heart of Africa still in season to be of great service to Dr. Livingstone and pur explorer in expediting their return; for, difficult as it is for the hardiest white traveller to get into Africa as far as Lake Tanganyika, ave Know, from the case of Livingstone, that it Is still more difficult to get back trom that point to the coast. In this view, and every consideration in behalf of humanity, science and civilization, we hope that this projected English expedition will be de- ppatched without needless delay. We shall Dave no objection to divide with it the honors f the restoration of Dr. Livingstone to the vilized world; but our Koglish friends must pe active in the matter or they may be too late jo share in the credit of this achievement, Waar of tae Six Hunprep Minions ?— WVarious sumors are afloat concerning the re- ported offer of the Rothschilds to take, in con- pection with Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Co., six hundred millions of the new loan, as it is walled, or the new reduced bonds of the “United Stites. It would be gratifying to now that the Rothschilds were disposed to such « large amount of our securities, and have no doubt they could do so very well and realize a handsome profit. One reportin Wall gatreet bas it that they want one per cent com- wission and a bonus of a year’s interest, which uld, for six hundred millions, amount to over irty millions ofdollars. Extravagant as such proposition may seem, it is in keeping with e grasping cupidity of the Syndicate Treas- ry Riog and with Mr. Boutwell’s way ofdoing usiness. On the otber hand, it is said the bschilds only ask that the interest be made yable in Europe, a measure bighly un- popular with Congress and the public.

The following special despatch to the Heratp bas been received from our corre- spondent in the capital of Great Britain :— Lonnoy, Jan. 6, 1872, The news of the progress of the Hera.p's Livingstone search expedition in Africa has produced an intense sensation in England, The publication of the advices stimulates the movement to organize an English expedi- tion for the same purpose greatly. Her Majesty's government having already refused to aid the project officially, the mem- bers of the Royal Geographical Society now appeal to the British people for assistance, pointing out what has been accomplished by the HERALD as an encouragement, The Telegraph newspaper refers to the snb- ject in a special editorial.

THE WAR CLOUD. Great Activity in the Navy Department. The War Ships Wyoming, Worcester, Pow- hatan, and the Iron-Clads Canonicus and Mahopac Being Got Ready for Immediate Service, Secretary Robeson and the Spanish Navy in Cuban Waters, The Chief Engineers to Inspect and Report on the Coast and Harbor Defences. Rumor of Cubans Firing at an American Vessel. WASHINGTON, Jan, 6, 1872, The Navy Depurtment Ordering Repairs and Kqvipments to All the War Vessels Secretary Robeson Looking to Cuba—Ir: Clads and the North Atlantic Fieet to Be Pressed Into Service. One woul! be led to belleve from the sober con- versation of the heads of departments that the unusual activity at the Navy Department is only oceastoned by routine matters, The Secretary of the Navy, !n explanation of the orders relative to the monitors Canonicus, at Philadelphia, and Ma. hopac, atthe Washington Navy Yard, says they are merely ordered imto commission to relieve other vessels mow on stations—only this and notbing more, When asked what particular service the lubberly monitors could do, he remarked that all of them needed overhauling in order to keep them from rusting out, He 1s authority for the statement that not a word has been heard from Captain Potter, commanding the Shawmut, and the denial creaited to thts source concerning the peace- ful exit of the Florida from St. Thomas has not reached the Navy Department, When asked what use there would be in sending mon- itors into Cuban waters when every Spanish officer from Admiral Polo down looked upon them with contempt, he said, ‘They may have occasion to change their minds before long.’’ Yet every- thing is peaceful and the American eagle has not discerned the silent and secret workings of the Navy Department. The Spanish naval officers are not alone in their opinion of our navy. The best Raval oMcera im the service agree in the main with Admiral Polo's views, Our supe- riority consists in the personnel of the navy rather than in the number of our guns, The Spanish navy in Uuban waters to-day exceeds in the number of guns carried by all the available vessels of the American navy over two hundred. During the coming week the Worcester, of sixteen guns; Wyo- ming, of six guns, and the Powhatan, of seventeen guns, together with the monitors Canontcus and Mahopac, will be ready to proceed to Cuban waters. ‘The Canandaigua, of ten guns, will be ready for inspection by the middle of the month, The Troquois, of six guns, now at New York, can be ready for sea, with extra force at the New York Navy Yard, in less than thirty days, and the Hartford in sixty days. The Powhatan and the Frotic, also a sidewheel sloop, carrying the same battery, will ace as tenders to the ironciads. ‘Tney are to be ready for sea by Thuraday next. The service on these vessels 1s exceedingly distateful to most officers, A number who have been detailed have asked for other service, but Secretary Robeson will make no change. Very un- favorable comment is made on Admiral Lee, the Flag OMicer of the Nortn Atlantic Squadron, who has been at home ever since the Grand Duke Alexis arrived, It wili be remembered that his fagshtp, the Severn, was orderea to New York to meet the Russian Prince and arrivec there early in Septem- ber. Naval officers declare that they should re- gard the sending of Captain Davenport, with the Congress to do the important duty of bringing out the Hornet, when the Admirai himself shonid have been entrusted with its execution, as @ snub direct to that officer. The utmost activity prevails at the Washington Navy Yard, The mechanics and laborers are being put on in relays, and thus working two days in one, The greatest care is betng taken in fitting the Maho- pac and Frolic, both vessels being provided through- out with new equipments, and the very best of their class. Arilficers long employed at the yard state that no vessels have ever been sent from this ship- yard as thoroughly prepared for sea as these. THE HARBORS AND COAST DEVENCKS TO BE IMMEDI- * ATELY INSPROTED, Generais J. G. Barnard, Quincy A. Gilmore, H. G, Wright, Z. B. Tower and George W, Cullum, com- poring the Engineer Board on Fortincations, were summoned to this city by telegragh on Thursday from New York and reached here yesterday. Gen- eral Abbot, Chief pf the Experimental Torpedo Service at Willett’s Point, was also ordered to re- pair to Washington, The Board held a long confer- ence yesterday under the presidency of General flumphreys, Chief of the Corps of Engineers, and separated for the purpose of personally inspecting the sea coast defences on the Atlantic and the Gulf, and reporting what is necessary to be done to put them in immediate readiness for service, Tne capability of the harbors defended by the forts for further defence by obstructions and torpedoes is also to be ascertained by these distinguished en- gineers, and it is expected that a further appro- priatioa for the torpedo service will ve asked for from Congress at once. The Austrian torpedo sys- tem is the favorite with our officers, and an exten- sive knowledge of this new arm of defence has already been acquired by observation in Europe, correspondence with European governments and experiments conducted at Willeti’s Pomt by the battalion of engineers. RUMOR THAT AN AMERICAN VESSEL WAS FIRED INTO FROM MORRO CASTLE, HAVANA, An improbable story was circulated to-day to the effect that one of our vessels had been fired into from Morro Castle, Havana. It caused some ex- citement, but no information has been received in any quarter up to onc o'clock to-day showing that anything had taken piace there to warrant such a rumor. Gentiemen in high official positions there say there 18 no cause whatever to excite alarm in the public mind relative to Spain, as the prepara- tions of the mavy are only in the usual course of business, Activity in the Philadeiphian Navy Yard—Re- pelring the Iren-C! {From the Philadelphia Ledger, Jan. 6.] Matters ure quite brisk now at the Navy Yard. ‘The force of men lave been increased by an addi- tion of about three hundred, and all are actively employed in fitting out for sea tne two large wooden vessels, Powhatan and Richmond, which have been undergoing repairs for some time past, aod wsiso in refitting and repairing the Jron-clads recently ordered by the gov- ernment to be got ready for sea.

Carter and General Mudgett, Sergeant-at-Arms, to produce in Court the bodies of taree mewhbers of the Legisia- ture alleged to be forcibly detained and deprived of their liberties. Judge Dibble granted ail the pro- cesses asked for by the Warmothites, and ordered the writs to be issued and served, THE ORDER OF THE COURT RESIST ‘They were placed in the hands of a sheru!, who atvempted to serve them this afternoon; but was relused admittance to the hail where the Cartertics were in session. The Court therefore applied to the Governor for military force to enforce the order of the Court. About five o’clock, when these iacts be- came known, an immense crowd rapidly assembled around the hall of the Carterites, on Royal street, between Canal and Custom House streets. About the same hour a battalion of infantry wud company of Metropoittan police with fixed bayo- nets, ail under command of Colonel Squires, moved from the State House down Canal street, turning into Custom House street at the old levee, out of Custom House street nearly to Koyal street, where where they were hooted. ‘Ins movement prodoved iniense excitement.
