Until I hear more of him or see the Jong-alsent old man face to face I bid you a fare- well; but, wherever he fs, be sure I shail not give ‘up the chase. If allve you shall hear what he has to say; if dead I will find and bring his bones to you.” \ ish Firat Hopes from the Herald Enterprise, The following communication was published in Yondon a short time since on the subject of Living- stone's probable whereabouts and the prospect of the HeRap search in quest of him:— “The glad tidings of Livingstone contained in the gw York HeraLp has long ere this cheered the warts of tae of his friends with hope.of again seeing him.

This is an announcement ofthe complete success of the most remarkable newspaper enterprise ever projected, so remark- able, in fact, that many persons have looked upon it with scepticism, scarcely believing that private enterprise could be so daring when the learned societies and even the government of Great Britain held back from any attempt to seek out the lost explorer in the perilous regions of benighted Africa, Mr. Stanley, the leader of the Hananp expedition, according to the account published to-day, left Zanzibar on the 1st of April, 1871. Dr. Livingstone then had been in Africa some six years, and had for tong intervals been wholly lost to the knowledge of the world, His life aud safety were often despaired of, and so mysterious appeared hia stay among the savages of Africa that the belief became general that he had lost his bearings or wag restrained of his Hberty. When the last rumor of his whereabouts was received before the HERALD expedition set out, he was represented, on information from Arab traders in Ujiji, to be at Manakoso, in Menama, in a destitute condition. Following such Information as he could pick up among the natives Mr, Stanley sought from point to point for the mysterious white man who waa looked upon with 80 much awe by the simple blacks. ‘The latest information regarding the progress of the search was sent by way of Zanzibar in Septem- ber, until the present triumphant announcement, which comes by way of Bombay, that the most dai ing and most generous undertaking of modern jour- nalism has been crowned with perfect success, ou all, my dear VINGSTONK.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. LONDON, May 2, 1872. Advices from Zanzibar to the 1thof April have been received. * The island had been visited by a terrible hurri- cane, One hundred and fifty vessels of all classes were sunk or stranded on the coast. The town of Zanzibar was very badly damaged, and the loss was estimated at $10,000,000. Some of the accounts received from Bombay state that the storm raged during a whole day and night, and that nearly one-half of the entire property on the island was destroyed, that hundreds of houses were uprooted from their foundations and dashed in pieces by the violence of the wind, and that many of the inhabitants are believed to have been crushed to death by the falling dwellings, The sea rose to a great height, and in some places encroached upon the land to such an extent as to compel the people to recede further into the inte- rior for safety. THE I86AND OF ZANZIBAR. The Island of Zanzibar is situated on the east coast of Africa, The town of the same name lies in 60 deg. 27 min. 7 sec. south; longitude 39 deg. 23min. east. The island is forty miles long and fifteen miles in breadth. It is the metropolis of the Imaum of Muscat’s possessions on the east coast. Its population is about two hundred thousand, made up of Arabs, Sowily Africans and negrosiaves. The town has a considerable trade with Arabia and the ports of the Red Sea. Like all the islands on the east coast of Africa, Zanzibar is of coral forma- tion and comparatively low; consequently it is often seriously damaged by the action of the waves. AN INDIAN MASSACRE.
