Pavent of a collectiin like White's or that fately on view at Leiwitt’s causes an artis. ‘tic furor. Some of thos interested in native art are displeased that s much patronage should be extended to foreign artists while ‘our own are comparatively neglected. The ‘eure for this evil is, however, in the hands of the artists themselves, Let them ouly de- velop the same capacity,*work with the same devotion to their art within the trne compass of their powess as their rivals, and, though they may not succeed in excluding foreign art from the patronage of our people, they will secure at least such a large share for them- selves as will enable them to regard with equanimity the competition of foreign art.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, Feby 14, 1872. The English expeditionary force commissioned to search for Dr. Livingstone inthe interior of Africa has taken Its deparvure from London, the necessary funds for its support and contingent expenses having been suvscribed since the active initia- ton of the Movement by the Royal Geographical Society, Organization of the English Search Force Livingstone’s Sou, Born in Africa, a Come panion. The English expedition which has just set out from London for Africa in order to commence @ national exploration search for Dr. Livingstone, is under the command of Lieutenant Dawson, of the Roval Navy. Mr. W. Oswell Livingstone, Liv. ingstone’s second son, who was born twenty years since in the neighborhood of Lake Nigaiml, Africa, accompanies the force as a companion and worker, He reached London from Glasgow—where the Lord Provost aided him with a civic cash help to the gen- eral money stock—a short time previous to the flual muster of the men. The Royai Geographical So- ciety afforded a pleasing encouragement to the voy agers, Sir Henry Rawlinson presiding over a full meeting of the body, convened for the purpose, Sir Henry Rawlinson, after taking the chair, said that “a statement would be made by the Secretary, Mr. Markbam, on the subject of the expedition to relieve Dr. Livingstone, He had the pleasure of lu troducing to the meeting Lieutenant Dawson, Royal Navy, who had been selected as leader of the expe- diuon, He had hoped to be-able to introduce to them at the same moment Mr. Oswell Livingstone, the second son of the great traveller, but he was detained in Scotland with a view to attend a meet- ing called by wie Lord vrovost of Glasgow, for the urpose Of raising iuuds in ald of the Livingstone Sxpedition, Mr, Oswell Livingstone would arrive, however, in due time and join the corps,” OFFICIAL EXPOSITION OF THE HOPES AND MEANS OF THE EXPLORERS, Mr. Markham submitted a statement in reference to the expedition, of which the iollowing 1s a sum- mary:—Letters were received trom Livingstone aated at Lake Bangweolo, July 8, 1808, and the lust that have come to hand were dated Ujiji, May 80, 1869, Livingstone announced that the work sull belore him was to collect the lakes he had dis- covered; that he wad intended to explore @ lake to the westward of Tanganyika, in the Manyema coun- try, and thence to compicte lls labors, put Le was sorely in need of men anu supplies, ‘The Arab traders interested i the slave trade were anxious to tiware him, and no one would take charge of his first letters, He menuoned having written tiirty-tour letiers, which had been Jost, ‘This ls the last positive news froin Dr. Livingstone. ‘There was one Arab report in November, 1570, that he was at the town of Man- akoso, with few followers, waiung for supplies and unable to move; but the last certain intelligence Wiil be three years old on the 30tn of next May, e question now 1s, shall this great and novle-hearte man be lett to his latey In January, 1870, the Treas- ury toned a grant of £1,000 to send stores by natives trom Zanzibar through the political agent; bat this method of affording relief failed, and neither letters irom — Living- stone nor prool that he ever received te stores have reached the coast Mr. Staniey, the American HERALD newspaper traveller, has also auempted to pencurate into the taterior, but he was atone time stopped by disturbances at Unyanyembe, it bas thus become clear that if Livingstone 1s to be relieved by the British nation a properly equipped expedition, ably commanded, must be despatched from Engiand todo the work, ‘Ihe Lords of the ‘Treasury nave declined to grant any pecuuiary aid to the expedition which is destined to bring suc- cor w wr Livingstone, who, it must aiways be remembered, is Her Majesty's Consal for the interior of Africa, No ad- verse decision from the Treasury will, however, be allowed to check the necessary preparations, nor to retard them for @ single day. Neariy two hundred persons had volunteered to take part in the expeuition, and the choice of a leader had fallen upon Lieutenant Lewellyn Dawson, R. N., a sclentific seaman, Who possessed most of the quali- fications Which were needed to fill so dificult and trying @ post, and on Whose ability and judgment the Couucit had periect coniidence. Ib was in- tended that he should be accompanied by a second in command, and the Foreign Vilice haa applied to the Admiralty that any naval oficer who acted on ulus expedition should be rated on one of Her Majesty's ships, 80 as to be allowed time and full pay. Mr. We Oswell Livingstoae, Livingstone’s sop, who was born twenty years ago in the neighborhood of Lake N’gami, would also accompany the expedition. It ‘was hoped that Mr. New, @ genileman connected with the Mombas mission, would act as interpreter, aud the party would in all consist of about fifty icked men, besides porters. It would leave Eng- and early in the moatn (Fepruary) in the steamship Abydos, chartered by Messrs. J. Wiseman & Co,, who had generously unuertaken to convey all stores free of charge. Lieutenant Dawson, R. N., leader of the English expedition, Was introduced to the meeting by tue President, and warmly received. He said “he was not at all insensibie to the great dimculties of the expedition with tne duty of leading which he had been encrusted, He could only on that occasion reter to his good intentions—deeds must follow. He knew that the eyes of the whole British public would be on him and on his companions, but they did not need @ consciousness of tiat fact to stimulate their efforts to clear up the mystery as to the fate of Dr, Livingstone or to find out his where- abouts, To the utmost of their power they would carry out the Instructions of the society, and no greater reward couid be given them than that they siiculd be thought to have done the work they had undertaken satisfactorily. He thanked , many friends, residents and travellers in Airica tor the vaiuable hunts they had given him, and trusted, bidity Gou’s help, the expedition would be success- ful. English ints from the Experiences of the New York Herald Explorers. ‘The experiences and special news reports which have been related and furnished by the leader of the New York HeRALD band of explorers in Arica tended vastly to stimulate the British people and the members of the Royal Geographical Society toward the final furtherance of their effort for the search for Livingstone, as may be seen by the facts narrated above. In confirmation of this position, we reproduce the following extracts from a commu: nication—one of many—wilich has been just ad- dressed to the British press on the subject. The writer says:— March 10, 1871, Dr. Kirk had letters from two Arab traders in U)jiji, announcing that Dr, Living- stone Was ata place named Manakoso, in Menaina (Manyema), with Mohammed bin Gharib, during October or November, 1870, “helpless, without means, and with (ew followers." Such was our in- formation regarding the traveller in the beginning of 1871, when the American New York HERALD expedition for his ald was in preparation at Zanzi- bar. Onthe Ist of April, 1871, Mr, Stanley, leader of the HERALD Search corps, ieft Bagamoyo, on the coast, and following @ route some- what to the northward of that taken by Burton, Speke and Grant, arrived at Kivihiva, on the basin of thara, whence he aates bis report, the piain on which the Arab post of Kazeh stands. This is in the centre of the native district of Unyanyembe, more than two-thirds of the way from Zanzibar to Lake Tanganyika, At various points on his journey from the coast to this station (at the Ungerengert river, called Lungerengeri by Speke, Mpwapwa Kuturiand Kubugi, the Rubuga of Speke, not far from Kazeh) Mr. Stanley obtained! tformation about Livingstone from Arab traders, each describing him as “an old man with @ long beard almost white,” but giving such marks of identification, as to leave no doubt as to nis being the real traveller, One tells that he had seen him at Uji in 1870, and that he was then about to go to Marunge jsouth of Tanganyika) and Untema (Stanvema). ‘This shows that Livingstone probably stayed at Ujijt_until the beginning of 1870, Another knew thas the white man had gone to Mau- tema, out had met with a bad accident, and would return to Ujiji when he had recovered. A third told that Livingstone’s men had deserted him. Others confirmed the fact that he had gone across the jake early in 1870, and that he had accompanied an Arab caravan to Lake Maniema—a much larger water than Tanganyika. A caravan from Ukonogo (probably In the Manyema country) brougut the news that he was dead. At Kazeh Mr, Stanley learned that Dr. Livingstone is on the road to Ujijt from Lake Maniema, which ties fifteen caraps=- 100 to 160 miles south-south West from the westerd shore of Tanganyika. Tne Lake Maniema, west of Ugubba (Ugubba of Burton), with this location, falls into the position assigned by Livin stone’s letters of ists to ke = Ulenge—"a lake with any — iglands’—and = thus — it 13 probable that these are one and the same lake, From Wiese American HERALD reports it seems clear that Or, Livingstone crossed the Lake Tanganyika, and f,roceeded to Manyema in the be- ginning of 1870," probably in May, When the dry season beging, remained tn the heighoorhogd of Man vema in an apparently destitute coudition a betore’ July, 1871, when Mr. Stanley heard at K: that ? Was on bis way back to Ujijl Mr. Stame ley inte.wed to advance towards Ujiji with supplies to meet Levi coming from the west, and ox- pected to atrive there in August, 1871, but unfor tunately at tae moment when he was about to pro- ceed fighting broke out between the Arabs and the natives a days’ journey westward of Kaze, and Mr. Stanley was abandoned by the Arabs; four of his men were Killed, and he himself, weak and iil from fever, barely escaped with his life. This informa tion, received at Zanzibar in mber, 1871, 8 the latest which has been forwarded to England. SNOW BIRD AND PIGEON SHOOTING. CHALLENGE OF BOGARDCS, ELKHarr, Ill, Fev, 5, 1872.

It sar- prises me that any of them got out of bounds with- Out being marked “dead birds.” 1don't think ho can kill eighty out of one hundred, and If will fur. nish the birds, 1 wili also make @ match with Mr, Ward, aud give him $250 for expenses, to shoet at 100 snow birds, to come off at Lincoln, Ill, for a stake of $1,000 a side, and I will turnish all the pirds; or ft will meet him balf way, say at Detroit, and he can name tie birds; Mf snow birds, he to furnish them and I will pay for half. Or if he will shoot me at Detroit at pigeons, 100 single and fifty douvle birds, he can name his own load of shot, and 1 will give him sixteen dead birds on the double rises and twenty dead birds on the single rises; the stakes to be $1,000 a side, and the match to come off any time within two or three months.

H, BOGARDUS, Champion oi America, {From the Sportsman, Jan. 2d.} LEEDS ROYAL PARK, WOODHOUSE. Messrs. J. Wootfoot and Co.’s Monster Pigeon Shooting Handicap, which was commenced on Mon- day, was brought to @ satisfactory conctusion on Wednesday, although rain fell heavily during the tnree days.’ The handicap proved a great success, the enclosure being well attenaed, The euterpris- ing caterers gave £70 to be shot for, namely, £40, £15, £10 and £5, at 11 birds each, with 1% oz. of shot, handicapped from 16 to 21 yards rise, and 60 fall, Thirty-one contested on the first day, which number was augmented by an addition of 61 com- petitors on the second day to the extraordinary number of 82, who rel 21s. each entrance, the largest number ever brought together in Yorkshire. The birds on the first day were good, out on the secoud day they were very reluctant to leave the trap. Betting ruled from even to 3 to 1 on the gun, according to the qualitication of the shooters, In consequence Of the large number of contestants and aarkness setting in, twelve killed 10 each and agreed to divide the £70 among them, There was @ large muster of sportsmen at Mr, Warner's, the Weish Harp, Hendon, Jan. 26, on which occasion @ match that has for some time past been creating @ considerable amount of interest 12 sporting circles Was brought to issue, The con- testants were Mr. Stevens and Mr. J. Tame, both well-known sportsmen, the former laying £50 to £40, at 26 yards rise, £0 birds each. At the tenth roun Mr. Tame was in advance by two birds, and holding his own to the end, ultimately won a capital match by four birds, Killing forty-one out of fifty, to his opponent's thirty-seven out of a similar number, Appended 1s tne full score:— Marcu, for £90, at flity birds each, 25 yards rise, tive traps, &c.

The much talked of match between Messrs, H. Tennent and W. M, Sadleir was decided at the Ama- teur Athletic Club Grounds, Lillie Bridge, on Tues- day lasi. Since the days wnen Colonel Astley, Cap- tain Macneil, Captain Jett Sharp and Mr. Chadwick ran their matches there has heen nothing approach- ing the present one in general interest among the “swells.” Kach candidate had a host of partisans, hauling from two celebrated W End cluvs, ‘The challenge originated from Mr. Hector ‘Tennent, the winner, Who 18 brother to the well-known spriat runners, Messrs. W. M. and J. P, Tennent, the tor- mer of whom won the amateur championship mn 1503, and the latter the Oxtord and Cambridge 100 yards in the same year, So he clearly comes of a speedy family, and the resuitof the race and his general form naturally gives rise to the question, “Which was the bestof three?! Mr, Sadieir has recently been successful in two matches, against Sir Charles Nugent and Sir Charles Legard, but he showed on the present occasion very different form to what he did then, being a much improved man. Mr. Sadler's friends made no secret of the fact that he was no wonder, bul a good, fair man, capable of doing a shade better than 103 seconds, Which they justly, though on whe present occasion unfortunately, con- sidered quite good enough to back agalnst a novice, On the other hand, Mr, Tenneat’s friends vowed he would do 10'4 seconds, and Win easily, @ confession which was received with some distrust by their op- ponents, who could not believe in a gentleman, who, it Was understood, had never run velore but on one occasion, doing ‘bithand what professionals try years lo achieve; but the result proved that no real mistake Was made In the tral, lor without the assisianee of the strong wind at the back of we runners the time would have been the halt second; as It Was, It Was two yards quicker, as taken by our \ epresentative with a marking chronograph by Benson. The betung up to the eve of the match had been level monev and @ shade of odds on Mr. Sadleir, but during the half huur prior to the start Mr. Tennent was @ decided favorite, 2 tot betng freely offered oa him, but this in a measure was due to the fact of those who had no money on previous to the day, being all followers of Mr, Ten- nent; Mr, Sadieir’s irienas a4 a rule having executed thelr commissions over night and some days prior to the race, When he was favorite, but any bets as to who started favorite are unquestionably won vy those who backed Mr. Tennent. All the prelimina- ries having been arranged the men went tothe mark, whence Mr. W. M. Chinnery despatched Lhem at the first attempt to an excellent start. Mr, Sadieir, who was by far the quicker into his run- ning, atonce took the lead, and came along av a great pace, about a yard in trontof Mr, Tennent, both being helped by the wind, In this order they ran unui the begluning of the paliugs, when Mr. Tennent began to close up the gap, was level at seventy yards, and, gradually drawing away, won by two yards, Time, 102-5s, Mr. sadielr easing somewhat in the just three strides. Mr. J. G. Chambers and Mr. A. J. Wukinson (both of Cam- bridge University Athletic Club) acted as judges. ‘The attendance on the ground was estimated at 1,500 persons, including many well kuown faces on the turf, pigeon shooting, &c, The winner, who was in excellent condition, was trained by Perry, of Kensington, and Mr. Sadieir, whose condition ‘was absolutely fauictless, by D.
