YoxouaMa, July 21, 1872, It te now more than a year since Admiral Rogers, United States Navy, and Minister Low went to the Corea and came back again without accomplishing the object for which they were sent. It will be re- Membered that it was suggested that the Depart- ment of State in Washington had committed a great error im entrusting this important mission to Mr. Low, for the reason that the Minieter to Japan Would have been a more fit person from his position. It was hinted then that thé Japanese only required a very little Pressure to tuduce them to take the matter fm hand, and to sand a ficet, that should efther €o-operate witn the Awericans or even take the imitiative in the matter of opening the Corea. | At that time no other reasons could be found for the supposed willingness of the Japanese govern- ment to identify itself with a policy of forcing an exclusive nation to open its doors than alryiety to detract the attention of the people from tame affairs, and to give employment to thousands of armed men, who might otherwise cause home dis- turbances, the revolutionary war in Japan having ‘Dut just closed. Nay, it is quite positive that fomething like a proposal to this efect was hinted to the American Minister in Japan. But, as that gentleman had nothing whatever to do with the Corean matter, the suggestion fell to the ground. JAPANESE POLICY. Recent disclosures have given us an ineight into ‘the reasons that caused Japan to be willing, nay, even anxious to take a@ hand in this matter, It is ‘Well known that both China and Japan claim Corea asa tributary government. About two hundred years ago Taico-Sama, the then reigning Tycoon, overran the Corea, and, after destroying several Corean cities, made a treaty with that country, by which the latter engaged themselves to pay a Yearly tribute to Japan. For many years this was enforced—for how many I cannot ray. But certain it is that for the last fifty years at least this obliga- tion on the part of the Coreans has exigted on pa- per only, and no attempt had been made on the part of the Japanese to enforce it, Immediately after the Tycoonate was abolished a Commission was sent by the Mikado’s government to the Coreans, informing them of the change that had taken place and demanding of the Coreans a fulfilment of their treaty obligations, The Japanese ambassadors not only failed to secure ‘the assent of the Corean government to the de- mands of Japan, but they themselves were treated With great disrespect and one of them even was thrown into prison. To the demands of the Japan- cee government the Coreans returned the following characteristic reply—characteristic from the in- nolence of its tone and the perfect assurance that it conveys that the Coreans believe in their ca- pacity to “lick all cregtion.’” THY COREAN LETTER Tuns thus:— We have recelved your letter. and have given it very deep consideration, comparing your despatch with other siespatches.

PAUSING FOR A REPLY. To this very insulting letter no reply has yet heen sent to the Corea. Ido not wonder that the “Japa” would have liked to havea hand in the affair when jt was found that the United States Were going to play a principal part. Ever since the receipt of this document the chagrin of the Japanese government can be imagined. Every recaution was taken to keep the knowledge of the ransaction from the people, But one of the re- sults of the change of base of the Japanese and the adoption by them of foreign customs has been the ment of a Japanese newspaper press. During the last six months Japanese who have had any grievance to complain of, or any suggestions to make upon government, social reform or any other ject, have written letters to the news- papers: angi, although there is as yet no law regulat- ing the press, A singular amount of freedom and liberty of aenan has been tacitly allowed, In fact, bola | h the Pircremeny has been trequently censured, I do not know of a single instance where the newspaper bas been interfered with. This Corean business has just come to light —_—. ® Japanese paper, published in Jeddo. That the letter published is a genuine document I feel convince. How a copy of it came into the jon of the person who publishes it I cannot gay; but ite publication is probably owing, first, to gome diappointed oMicial, or, second, to news- paper enterprise, for it must have required some orate to put it in print. What effect the publicity ven to this matter will have remains to be seen; ut it ssems to me that the Japanese will be forced to do one of two things—cither to go to war with Worea, or to deny the whole thing and put a stop to the freedom of the new-born but vigorous Japanese ‘press. THA MIKADO'S TOUR. The Mikado 1s still on his travels, visiting the dif- ferent portions of his empl: He is expectea to return in about two weeks to formally open the vailway between Yokohama and Jedao, provided ‘that the section between the present terminal point and Jeddo be not blown away by & typhoon, @con- summation reasonably to be expected.

Hrogo, Japan, July 17, 1872. The United States ship Colorado left Yokohama on the morning of tite 12th, at seven o’clock, and arrived here Sunday the 14th inst., about two o'clock P. M. She had hight head winds but smooth seas, and steamed all the waydown. On the night of the 18th she came near going high and dry on the rocks though she had all the broad Pacific at her dis- posal, in which to keep away from them, It seems that the navigator, not knowing on which side of a buoy & go, was stcering such a course as would soon have piled the old Colorado high and dry on the rocks, beyond all hope of salva- tion. The alarm having been duly given by the officer of the deck, the Captain had her course changed just in time to save her. If Mr. Robeson wishes to see the Colorado safe_ fiosee again, he will do well to order her home as soon a8 possible. She has already cost the govern- ment nearly $10,900 im consequence of going on the rocks, through mxkward, bungling navigation. There is no telling Low soon she may be a total loss. JAPANESE ENGINEERS PUZTEED—“'St0P HER! STOP HER!” Soon after she anchored rather sp amusing affair occurred, A little steamer came i from Osaka, run by Japanese engineers. It seems that they had entirely forgotten how to “stop her” or “back her’’ by reversing the engines—that is if they had ever known how to do either properly. This being the case, she proved under their management a regular runaway steamer, and hke an unruly steed that takes the bit in his teeth, kept right on, in spite of all efforts to stop her, till she was stranded high and dry on the beach, where she still remains. Forelgn engineers were quite elated over the result, because the Japs only ® short time before had jasisted on taking the management of this steamer away from European engineers and placing it under the control of in- corprrcas Japanese, whose bungling mismanage- ment of machinery ts attended with frequent ex- Plosions in these waters, AN AMERIOAN CONSUL IN DANGER. The news of an affair of rather more serious na- ture was recorded on board next day. A telegram was received from Osaka saying that the American Consul at Kiobe, Mr. Turner, had broken his leg in Kioto and required medical aid immediately in Oraka, having been brought there after the acci- dent. The steam launch was soon ready, and Dr. C. J. 8. Wells was soon in her and on the way to Osaka to aid the wounded Consul. Various were the surmises as to the cauae of the accident. Finally allagreed in the supposition that he must have fallen from his horse in an excursion to Lake Biwa. It was not till Dr. Wells returned next day that the facts were ascertained. 1t seems that & party, consisting of Colonel Shepherd, Consul General at Yokohama and Chargé d'Amuires during Mr. De Long’s absence; Mr. Turuier and Mr. Senter, erent of the Pacific Mall Company, had gone from. Kioto to Lake Biwa, and soon after their arrival Messrs. Senter and Turner had gone out for a walk, leaving Colonel Shepherd in the tea house at which they had stopped. Becoming fatigued they stopped at another tea nouse and were quietly taking a cup of the gentle stimulant that cheers, but not ine- briates, when suddenly a crowd of drunken Japs broke into the room where they were sitting and commenced an attack on them with clubs and sticks. Being unarmed and unattended by a guard they retreated in haste; but as they ran one of the pursuers thrust his stick between Mr. Turner's legs and eeppee him so that he fell and broke the bone of his thigh. Mr. Senter being a man of great mus- cular strength immediately picked up his falien friend and bore him off safely from his enemies. The Japs still pursuing, the Americans took refuge in another tea house. The pursuers, probably blinded by the sakt they had been drinking #0 Profusely, did not see this dodge, and they re- mained there safe till a messenger could be de- spatched to Colonel Shepherd for assistance. Mr. ner was then conveyed on a stretcher, borne on the shoulders of Japanese, to Osaka, and the elena sent thence for medical aid as above stated. The next day Mr. Turner was brought down to Kiobe in a Japanese boat towed by the Colorado's steam Jaunch, and conveyed to his room inthe Hiogo Hotel, where he 18 now attended by Dr. Harrison, who came out in the Stonewall, and Dr, Wells, of the Colorado, His thigh not having been Set soon after it was broken, coe have not been abie to do so since. He is said to be doing well, though he is forbidden by Iris physicians to see visitors for several days, and is said to be rather nervous and uncomfortable, as might be expected, as the thermometer has been from ba to ninety ever since the accident happened. CHINA. ae Damages by the Late Floods In and Around Ticntsin—Agricultural Losses and Great Suffering of the People— Dead Bodies Floated in the River— Rights of Foreigners. Fatal Consequences of the Late Floods. The late floods with which we have been visited have done no particular damage to foreign houses here in Tientsin. The rains found out the weak places on the roofs of houses and go-downs, and the water from below came through the cellars to the height of about two feet—otherwise little damage was done. About Tientsin the plain on both sides the river 1s still covered with water, but it is subsiding—most likely by evaporation—for hereabouts nothing has becn done which should have been done in the way of drainage. Li’ Hung Chang, the British Minister tells us, 1s an energetic man; but If go, in these quiet, peaceable times, he has not shown much energy about Tientsin. The plain around us admits of easy drainage into the Peiho, and the land now under water for so long would, If drained, have produced most excellent crops, as other flooded landsin the neighborhood have done; the cultivation of these lands would nave given employment to many hundreds and the produce of these lands would have been suMicient to feed many thousands, but the country all round the city and settlement—where we must regard druinage in a sanitary point of view—renains under water, and the consequences are how, a8 were to be ex- pected, peoplo half-starved and half-clothed and unsheltered during the inclement winter, They are now said to be dying at the rate of upwards of one hundred every day in and about the cit: nd ten to twelve of these poor people are being buried in a trunk at one time without coffins, Several bodies may, it 1s said, be seen almost dally floating down the river, During winter the poor people get only about two-thirds to three-fourths of thelr normal allow- ance of food from the mandarins. A good deal of clothing was Kent up from the south—but littie compared to what was required by those who had lost their all, Most of the foreign residents have generously subscribed considerable sams, which several of the villages around Tientsin, and were most thankfully received by the poor people, On ry visiting the city one day a poor men asked me if prewiere were going to do anything to as sistthem.

The Heat in Brooklyn ‘was severely felt on all sides yesterday, many per sons declaring it to be the warmest of the season. Several horses fell in their traces, the railroad companies being sufferers to a considerable extent. Cases of coup de soliel were reported by the police | as follows :— } Thomas Vandervoort, twenty-five years of age, | residing at 07 Fleet place, while at work on the Wallabout ‘Basin, was sunstruck. Hopes are entertained of his recovery. George Wood, forty-eight years of age, veterinary surgeon, residing at 359 Warren street, was pros- trated by the heat in Smith street. He was con- veyed by the Third precinct police to the Long Island College Hospital. Last Week's Death Record. ‘There were 324 deaths last week, an increase of v1 over the previous week and of 76 over the cor responding week of laat year. Of those who died last week 69 were men, 44 women, 106 boys and 115 | girls, The principal diseases were cholera jnfan- tum, 67; consumption, 31; disease of brain, 28; marasmus, 33; diarrhoea, 13; smallpox, 9; puerperal fever, 2; typhoid fever, 8; cerebro-spinal meninges 5; pneumonia, 10, There were 8 more deaths from | smallpox and 5 more from eerebro spinal meningttis | than during the previous week. e nativities of the deceased were as follows:—United States, 230; Treland, 48; Germany, 21; England, 11; Scotland, 1; Nova Scotia, 1; Canada, 1 and Sweden, 2, As usual, the greatest mortaltty prevailed in the Sixteenth ward (Dutchtown), where 40 deaths occurred, and the least in the Third ana Fourth wards, in each of which there was but one death, The Four Hundred Doar Robbery. The counsel for John O'Connor, atias John Smith, arrested on suspicion of being an “accesséry be- fore the fact” in the robbery of the office of Blees & Co., corner of Bridge and John streets, of $400, on Saturday night last, moved the discharge of the prisoner before Judge McCue, in the City Court, yesterday morning. The ground taken for the mo- tion was, that no good reason existed for suppos- ing that he was an accomplice of the ruffians who prea the roll of money from the cashier's desk n the office of the sewing machine factory, and it ‘Was unjust to detain him, without examination be- fore a magistrate, in the cells of the station house. The Court ordered that the prisoner be taken be- fore Police Justice Walsh to-day, in order that he may be tried, and if guilty held to await the action of the Grand Jury. The ’Longshoremen’s Strike. The ‘Iongshoremen are still at variance with their late employers of Olmstead’s elevators, situated at the Atlantic dock, Brooklyn. How long the trouble will lant it is impossibie.to state. As it now stands it is a source of much annvyance to the police and non-society men who have taken the places of the were distributed by the fereigners personally at | Tefractory shovellers of grain ot the elevators, Notwithstanding the clubbing admftnlstered the strikers by the guardians of the peace on Furman street on Wednesday evening, the idlers were out lurking about the docks, yesterday, and threaten- ing to punish the laborers when they could get a chance todo so, Captain McConnell, of the Second Precinct, and a goodly detachment of men, were on deck, however, to prevent the infliction of injury upon the workmen on the elevators, No as- sanit was made by the strikers, owing to the guard in question. The dificulty, according to the state- ment of the authorities, arose out of the dissatis- faction created among the ‘longshoremen by two agitators, the President and Vice President of the Association of Longshoremen, who were employed by Olmstead & Co. These men made a demand for $3 60 per day. Their demand was acceded to, They then said they would not work more than eight hours per day. This wish was also complicd with. But the turbulent and dictatorial spirit was rampant, and the employers, finding the manner of the leaders intolerable, discharged them, The en- tire force left with the officers of their society. Outsiders were engaged to fill their places, and the strikers are “out in the cold.” Demolishing a Williamsburg Liquor Saloon. Yesterday afternoon three young men, who have not heretofore been placed on the criminal cal- endar, entered the liquor saloon of henry Sunder- mann, junction of Broadway and Division avenue, Williamsburg, and after indulging freely in drinks not only refused to pay for them, but threatened to kill the bartender, Peter Behrens, for making the demand. The bartender, who eee to be a reso- lute young fellow, continued to demand the amonnt due—only thirty-five cents—when one of the “roasters” seized the ice pitcher and hurled it at his head. The pitcher struck him over the right ear, inflicting an abrasion of some extent and drawing some blood. Beh- rens then went for the cowardly trio with @ club, and clubbed them so energetically that Bey, deemed it prudent to make @ hasty retreat, their heads showing oe of the just pun- ishment that they had received. On reaching the sidewalk the “bummers’’ amused themselves by hurling paving stones and brickbats through the windows of the saloon, making & complete wreck of the place. While this was going on the police of the Fifth precinct received intelligence of the riot, and, hastening to the scene, they secured two of the rioters and had them locked up. The names of the prisoners are George Vale and Edward Valentine, youn men who evidently intend to emulate the ad deeds of the Wythe avenue gang, of which Patsey Cullen and Red pio are the shining lights. Their companion escaped A JEALOUS WIFE'S REVENGE, Mrs, Mary McEntee, living at 13 Orchard street, hes had reason lately, she thinks, to donbt the fidelity of her husband, The consequence was that she formed herself Into a “vigilance committee” to watch and waylay the aforesaid supposed delinquent spouse, She watched his exits and entrances, and more especially the part he played when away from his home. On Wednesday afternoon she followed him along the Bowery for an hour or more, andturned with him down Broome street, Mr. MoEntee, his wife alleges, entered the premises 316 Broome street, and she stood on the opposite side of the way awaiting developments. She saw two oung women come out and go towards the Bowery. Then Mrs. McEntee boldly went forward toexplore the hidden mysteries of the mansion, She rang the beil; she waited its answer, Mrs. Burckhardt, the lady who occupies the premises, came to the door, and, in response to Mrs, McEntee’s excited and indignant inquiries, told her that she knew nothing about her or her husband, nor did she want to know anything. Mrs. McEntee grew more excited and Mra, Burckhardt likewise. The result was an_ encounter, in which, according to Mrs. McEntce's state- ment, sho was thrown to the sidewalk and sustained several severe Injuries, Mrs, McEntee prccares a warrant for the arrest of Mra, Burck- ardt, and both ladics appeared before Judge Shandicy, at Essex Market Court, yesterday.

The wind had veered more to the westward, and the Dolly was sailing with the boom over the starboard beam. Had she been close-hanled a capsize would have been inevitable. It was very lively on deck for a few moments. The Jib, which had been outrigged over the port bow With the boat hook, so as to sail wing and wing, was taken in with the greatest expedition. The principal reason for this movement Was that the head of the jib, fastening over the top of the mainmast, renders it impossible totake in the maimsail until the Xb is removed, The crews was anxious to be prepared for worse weather, It soon became impossible to any longer carry sail, and, getting forward on his knees, with one powerful effort the crew wrenched the mainmast | out of the deck, threw up the boom, pulled down the topmast and twisted the whole—masts, sprit, boom and. 4ail—into a roll, After a few moments spent in heading the Dolly out of the trough of the waves, the sail was lashed under the deck on the port side, the apron was bent on and the craft BEGAN THE JOURNEY UNDER PADDLE over the long, green billows. The Dolly was now near the middle of the lake, Turning anxiously around, the crew could not see the boat of the uide, and several moments of suspense passed be- fore his craft was seen rising from a hollow of the sea. There were three long rollers between the two boats, and the birch bark disappeared almost ga suddenly asit rose. The instant was sufficient to satisfy both crews that all was safe, and the ide could be seen working onward with a will. inthe course of twenty minutes he was within hailing distance. Thus the jonmey continued until nine o'clock, when the splash of the breakers on the shore could be heard above the whistling of the wind, ‘The low int of land, which converts an arm of the lake Into a bay, muchas Green Bay is separated from Lake Michigan, was soon seen off on the starboard bow, and the boat’s course altered a little to the north of east. The sea was still running in WAVES MORE THAN TWELVE FEET HIGH when the Dolly entered the bay. The bay runs down towards the southeast, and is skirted with a hard-wood forest on the eastern shore and by reeds on the western bank, The long headland soon gave sufficient protection from the waves to render the journey more comfortable. The poor guide was thoroughly soaked, and there was fully a half barrel of water in bis boat, which he proceeded to bail out the instant smooth water was reached. A house was seen across the bay on the eastern bank. It stood back trom the water, among the trees, and might not have been discovered had it not been for the smoke which is- sued from the chimney. The bay is nearly two miles in widthat that point; but the ‘prospects of obtaining provisions at once made the crew of the Dolly oblivious to the prospects of another rough pull, and the landing was at length made on the shore m considerable surf. As on all other occa- sions where a landing was to be made on the beach, when the wind was high, tne crew had to spring into the water up to his middle and carry the canoe ashore. Words cannot describe the re- lef experienced by the crew as A TALI, GRAY-HEADED WHITE MAN, greatly bronzed by exposure, emerged trom the log house and came towards the shore, To our as- tonishment he saluted us in Chippewa. The guide, having arrived the crew was enabled to converse with him. He spoke neither French nor English, He invited ile tired canoeists to his house, where we saw HIS INDIAN WIFE busily engaged in the preparation of the mid-day meal, Inthe Indian country very little is known about the civilized mode of dining at regular hours, They seldom rise before nine o'clock, and have as many meals as they have provisions between that time and the hour of retiring, In fact itis next to impossible to visit a Chippewa lodge any hour during the day when a pot will not be found simmering over the fire and some fish or wild rice cooking, They have not acquired a French taste sufficiently acute to discriminate between welldone and rare cooked meats, thirty years ago, having crossed from the Superior region, He left his native land more than ten years before, since which time he had never re- ceived one word of information from his friends or relatives. He had come Into the upper coun- try asa trader, married asquaw, settled down upon a tract of land and subsisted by agriculture and fishing. He had forgotten his native tongue, adopted THE LANGUAGE OF THE FOREST, and was in every respect on a par with the more civilized Indians. From him we obtained, by repre- senting our distressed condition, a small piece of pork, some sugar and some dry bread. For this we were very pede and paid liberally, The wind having subsided somewhat the Doliy Was iaunched after dinner and the voyage con- tinued for three miles down the river, until the waters of this beautiful little sheet of water were seen. Near this point two canoes, loaded with Sugar, bound for Brainerd, were overtaken, One Of the canoes had three Indlans on board, and tie third was, after considerable parieying, induced to help the guide in the bireh bark, He demanded and was promised $1 60 per day. The Indians were taking the sugar to Brainerd to exchange for whis- key, a small keg in each boat being carried for the purpose of bringing back the precious fluld. With. out exception an Indian wil! sell himself, body and soul, for whiskey. We soon left the other Indians behind, and, landing on the eastern shore of Litue Lake Winnipe; went into camp.

SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. Marrying in Haste and Repenting at Leisure. Before Judge Barrett. In May, 1860, Augustus A. Kellin, asea captain’ formed the acquaintance, as alieged, of Susan Keene ata sailor boarding house in Peck stip and married her. It was amarriage after very brief acquaint- ance, and, like many similar marriages, 1s now the Subject of litigation in the courts. The case came up on @ motion to set aside a writ of ne exeat. The stories on both sides are widely different. She claims that he abandoned her and took ag his com- oe on shipboard a young woman of disreputa- ble character, Upon the charge of abandonment she had him arrested and taken before Judge | Hogan, who compelled nim to give $5 a weck alimony and furnish surety for its payment for a year, The year expiring, he refused to make any further payments to her, and, therefore, she had him again arrested and placed in Ludiow street jall, where he now is and has been for the past six weeks. On his part. it is alleged that his wife’s habits were of such gross character that he could not live with her. He further says that through her representations she procured his charge as captain of the vessel on which he waa employed, and the young lady sailing with him is stated to be his sister. Voluminous affidavits were read on both sides, directly contradictory of each other, as to the habits and character of the parties tothe suit, and some of the statements are too gross for publication, Decisions.

Hoffman, an unsophisticated German, ar- rived in this city Wednesday afternoon from New Haven. Some time during the evening he met a girl of the town named Emma Davis, and was in- duced to accompany her to @ room in Amity street. While inthe house Hoffman charges the female took $20in money from hfs wallet and re- fused to return it. She was arrestad by Detective Henderson, of the Fifteenth precinct, and yester- day morning fully committed for trial. Hoffman having no permanent location in this city, he was committed to the House of Detention to ensure his attendance to appear and prosecute the female, BURGLARY IN TWENTY-NINTH STREET, About three o’clock yesterday morning, as Officer O'Halloran was proceeding down Twenty-ninth street, he saw two young men having a till under their arms and evidently endeavoring to get away from him. He gave chase and pursued them as far the river, when the two jumped overboard, after dropping the till on the dock. The ofMcer pulled his revolver and threatened to shoot incase they did not surrender themselves. One of them, named William Maher, aged seventeen, of 539 West Thir- tieth street, seized hold of the dock and held out his hand to the oficer, who safely landed him on terra firma, The other swam down the river and made his escape. It was subsequently ascertained that they had entered the lager beer saloon of Adain Freese, at 540 West Twenty-ninth street, by crawling through the faniight over the front door, and appropriated the till, containing $10 in cur- rency. Maher was arraigned at court yesterday morning, and, upon complaint of Mr. Freese, com- mitted to answer a charge of burglary. BURGLARY IN TWENTIETH STREET. On the night of the 8th inst. burglars effected an entrance to the house 428 West Twentieth strect, the occupants of which are in the country. After ransacking tie house and packing up what articles ey, could conveniently get away with they made thelr way to the roof. They proceeded along the roofs of the adjoining houses to that of Mr. £. M. Luther, No, 832, whose family are also in the coun- try. There they forced open the scuttle ing up three satin dresses, two silk dresses and a music box in a sheet, carried them to the house they had first entered and deposited them in the basement, after which they locked — the basement door and went away. Some of the neighbors, surmising a burglary had been committed on the house 428, visited the Sixteenth precinet station house and made known their suspicions, Detective Perkins, upon visiting the house, found matters as described above. The property was removed to the station house to await further developments, Wednesday alter- noon three young men, who were recognized as the partics scen going in and coming out of the house on the sth instant, were seen loitering about the neighborhood. Detective Perkins and OMcer Connor arrested them and escorted them to the station house, where they gave thei names and resifences as follows:—James_ Rellly, twenty-eight ye Poink ho home; John Kelly, twenty-one, of 2 Divisio | Six, of 71 Canal street, Upon being presented at ; Court yesterday morning they were held for ex- | amination, RAID ON AN ALLEGED DISORDERLY HOUSE.

Rice Henn, father of Liewtenant Henn, one of the officers in command of the English expedition to search for Dr. Livingstone, makes the following ex- planations in regard to the failure of the Royal Geographical Society's venture into Africa :— Ag there have been injurious, perhaps I might éven call them calwnnious, representations tn English press with respect to the motives which have induced the leaders of the Livingstone Search Expedition to desist from their enterprise aa soon ae they became aware that the object for which it had been undertaken was completely accom- plished—mistepregentations and calumnies which an Irish conservative newspaper has not been ashamed to repeat—I will ask you to permit me on behalf of my son, Lieutenant Wiliam Henn, R. N., to place the history of this expedition before his own countrymen. If they find a verdict against him upon the evidence Be will bow to the decision of his country; but if, om the other hand, they shalt of opinton that Ms conduct ‘has been not only faultless but commendable, and that he- and his companion (from whom he not only will not separate himself, but whom he believes in, and in wh friendship and intimacy he has found @ re- ward for his otherwise unrewarded labor) had no option but to act as they have acted—no other ope as conscientious men, appointed for the dis- charge of particular duties, and entrusted with lives and property which were not their own—I will then ask them to throw their shiela over the repu- tation of these young officers, and not to suffer them without protest to be made the scapegoat of the anger and jealousy of the Times: a 2 England's long apathy in behalf of her distinguished traveller is now patent to the civilized world; jeal- ousy, in that the great honor belongs to a foreigner of having performed gratuitously what it was her own imperative duty to perform, but a duty which she so long neglected that her own performance of it had become at last impossible. And now, sir, let me call your attention to the facts. . In Januar: last the Royal Geographical Society 0 England invited voluntcers | take the command of an expedition i ni | Eastern Africa in search of Dr. id who had not been heard of in Europe since M 1809. To thelr credit (bo it sald) upwards of four hundred men tendered themselves to the Society in answer to its invttation, from which nymber two were selected, Lieutenant Dawson, R. N., and my son—Licutenant Dawson being an officer of high reputation in the surveying branch of the ser- vice, and being at that time actually employed in the ‘Hydrograp! ical Department of the navy. And here it is well to mention that Licatenant Dawson, having thus volunteered for this most arduous ser- vice—a service of national interest—one involvin, reat risk not only to healtn, but to life, and whic! | traveller, having joined t | don in it was calculated would last for three years at the | shortest, was at once placed upon half pay, and both he and my son—the latter being then a half vomicer—were informed by the Admiralty that the Pe, -4 of their absence from England would be Ses \ from their sea-going time.

Mr. Oswell ~aat and ason of the gi. je expedition, it left Lon- ebruary, without one hour’s unnecessary delay, and it reaches! the island of Zanzibar on the 1¢th of March. Its instructions were precise—to search for Dr. Livingstone; when found, to relieve him; in case of his death to endeavor to obtain possession of his papers, and in that event to ac- quire as much geographical information as pos- sible; and lastly, to take advice from Dr. Kirk, our experienced Consul at Zanzibar, and to consult with him when opportunity offered. The expedition, asl have said, left England on the oth of February. Heu mens ceca hominum! Will it be believed that on that very day Stanley, the American, was in Unyanyembe in com- pany with Dr. Livingstone, telling him the story of Louts Napolcon’s deposition, and that the Doctor, 80 far from being in need of relief, had then in his possession ample stores, suilicient for four years’ consumption? However, “where ignorance ib bliss ‘tis folly to be wise.”’ So the expedition went on—an especie which not only never mentioned Stanley in its ei which believed him to be & mnyth, and which had even grave doubts as to the existence of the Doctor! Well, it reached Zanzibar on St. Patrick’s Day, and lost no time in purchas- ing stores and making preparations for its vast uney into the interior, and, all preperations ing at length completed, it leit Zanzibar for Bagomero on the 27th of April. One Dubtin paper, its regret wud astonishment that all this precious timc should have been wasted at Zanzibar, and that America should have thus been enabled to anticipate kigiand. Zanzibar was the Capua where England’s courage and activity had melted away! But then the ecitor has never heard of the rainy season in Africa, and ‘t only did not know (what was known to every on? else) that Stanley and Livingstone had been companioa3 since November (for Livingstone was discovered in November, although English relief did not reach him. untll February), but of course it took for granted that the stores which were with difficulty collected in six weeks, and which were to be carried on the backs of 100 porters, had all been bronzht from Lon- don in Lieutenant Dawson's portmanteau. SuMce it to say that the expedition could not have lett Zanzibar one moment eariler than it did. It left on the 27th of April, and on the following day it reached. Bagomoyo, on the African continent, having pre- viously attached to it a misstonary of the name of New, who, from his long residence in Africa, was Well acquainted with the habits and language of its eople, and would, it was thought, have been useful in the search. What follows is best narrated in a letter written by my son from Zanzibar, when the expedition had returned there from Uagomoyo, on receiving the important intelligence which this let- ter contained—a letter which I may, perhaps, be pardoned for publishing in extenso, as it 1s an Invol- untary refatation of the charges made against its writer of want of courage and energy in the prose- cution of his task: iN’S LETTER TO HIS FATHER. stone, a sedical Penal LIEUTENANT Hi LivinGsToxe SEaRoH Exruprrioy BRITISH CONSULATE, ZANZIBAR, May 6, 1872, My Dearest FATHER—Before you receive this My will probably have heard that Dr. Livingstone ‘aa been found by the American expedition. In my last letter I told you that reports to that effect had been circulated here, but as no letters wore received they were [ papebt discredited. How- ever, now there is no possible doubt, as I myselt have seen a letter from Stanley, and have also ex- amined his three men who brought it down with them. Stanley himself is about twenty days’ march from the coast, and Dr, Livingstone is at Unyanyem- be yer Noes stores, as he contemplates remaininy in Africa for another five years. When I first hear: this news I was on the coast at Bagomoyo, waiting for the start, and I need hardly tefl you how Ciclo tla I felt, for the main object of the expedition was forestalled. I returned here, and @ council was held as what our future movements should be. After mature consider- ation Dawson came to the conclusion, as the Search part of the expedition was at an end, and as we could not possibly get to the country he was so anxious to survey, and which was the chief reason for his taking command of the expedition, that it was useless for him to continue, as he was losing so much time and Bay, which he could not afford to fo1 do. He has therefore resigned his command, and am now leader of the relief expedition.
