On that evening, amid shots and shouts, r hand in hand, and standing beneath the flags of America and Engl: the brave American received the congratutions—the warm congratula- tions—of the British officer; and the British officer, whose sadness and emotion could not be re; Fecetved the generous sympathies of tho intrepid ‘American. My son's last hopes of distinction Vanished. He was informe fa Mr. Stanley that relief had reached Livingstone in Feb- ruary, and that he had stores sufficient for po than four years’ col mpeon: In addition, Mr. Stanley informed him that he had himself received directions from the Doctor to turn back any relief which might possibly be on its way to him, that he only required some medi- cines (which were enumerated in his own hand- writing) and the valuo of which was less than £10, pnd an armed force of fifty men, whose equipment and transmission had been specially confided b; ‘him to Mr. Stanley’s care. These were soon col- lected by Mr. Stanley, in accordance with his prom- {se, many of them being Mr, Stanley’s own guard, but, though selected by Mr. Stanley, they were armed, equipped and paid by the Livingstone Search Expedition, Anxious visit his distin- guished parent, from whom he had been solong sep- Grated, it was arranged at first that this caravan uld be accompanied by Mr. Oswell Livingstone, at he too, on further consideration, felt that it was his duty to return to England, and thus this eeeran, like those which had already reached Inyanyembe in safety, went forward under the con- duct ofan Arab guide. Meanwhile, my son had re- turned to Zanzibar; the stores destined for Livingstone were brought back there and sold; their produce was placed to the credit of the Livingstone Search Expedition, The expedition was n end. Our next letter from my son contains the follow! passage :—“Or course, you can understand that I return to Eng- land a the Pgs man. I never would have re- turned if f had had the slightest pretext for pie. ceeding; and {fi had had private means sufficient for 80 expensive a journey 1 would have gone into Africa on my own hook.” It only remains for me to say that Dr. Kirk, our experienced Consul at Zanzibar, has expressed his approbation of the Judtclous’ conduct of the leaders in withdrawing from an expedition whose objects had thus been completely nopamn plistied + nor can I conclude with- Out quoting an extract from a letter of Sir Henry Rawlinson. the Presidcnt of the Royal Geographical Society, written to me on the 17th of June, after he had received authentic intelligence of Dr. Livingstone’s safety:—‘“Livingstone’s safety,” he Says, “being now assured, and the road being open for the transport of supple Lieutenant jawson would hardly, perhaps, have been justified in undertaking the dimeult and expensive march tothe lake; and your son being still so young, and having shown his mettle, will, no doubt, have many opportunities of distinction in the future.” This ‘was the opinion of Sir Henry Rawlinson after the discovery of Dr. Livingstone, and before nows of his relief hail reached England. Now that he is known, however, to have been not only discovered but relleved, Sir Henry expresses “regret’’ (seo his letter to the 7imes on the ist instant) “that no serious effort was made by the expedition to com- municate personally with him.” hy, let me ask sir Henry, has he upon the Ist of August changed the opinion which he had formed upon the 17th of June? Must the Royal Geographical Society have its victims? But an Irish public shall judge between it and them. And now, sir, on behalf of my eldest son—Licutenant William Henn—a namo hitherto without reproach in Ireland—I have laid before ww readers a short outline of the history of is abortive expedition. He asks them with confidence for their verdict—their verdict for his absent companion as well as for himself, In em- barking in this enterprise he sought for no reward, save the Hea ee of hisown countrymen. He does not believe that they will condemn him be- cause he has lost his Y Litabereerte of deserving it; nay, more, he believes that they will even share his disappointment. Backwardness or want of per- sonal courage—he thinks there is no one by whom her officers could be subjected to so heartless an imputation in England save the editor of tho Times—no journal in Ireland, except one, which could re-echo an accusation so base, Nay, more, he thinks that there are thousands of his country- men, thousands of brave and upright men who, if Lieutenant Dawson and he had pressed forward under the circumstances, would have thought their conduct Lenupd sper) and pernane criminal.

A New Steamboat for Use in Navigating the Canals—Description of the Vessel which is Offered to Take the New York Stato Prize. POUGHKEEPSIE, August 22, 1872. Ever since the State of New York passed the law Olfering a premium of $100,000 for the successful application of some motive power ‘other than horses to the propulsion of boats on the Erte Canal, the public has been constantly supplied with reading matter on the subject. The scientific journals, .the daily press, the learned engineer and the natural genius, have advanced their opinions on the subject and method of solving this great problem. Some have told us the only way to accomplish it was to lay cables on the bottom of the canals and tow the boats as is done in Belgium; others to tow by a locomotive on the towpath; still others to have an elevated track ; and there were those who believed the track should be placed on the bottom of the canal and the boat run on wheels. Among the various methods of propulsion by the resist- ance of the water we have paddle wheels of propellers on the bow of the boat and two Imi- tations of fishes’ tails and ducks’ feet. Nearly all the devices, be it said to the credit of the invent- ors, show great ingenuity, but none of them have ved in way successful, True, some have Tun at a vei rate of speed, and to the looker- on might appear to be the very t! it is ‘wanted; but the great “stumbling block” all has been that when the cost of running them has been compared with that by horses it ts found expensive, A STBAMBOAT FOR CANALS. * A boat has — been Sate tt ae Pry Land- jing designe: compet ‘Outred by the State of New York. The boa ine were designed by Mr. William Baxter, entific engineer, of Newark, N. J. The hull of this Fighkill ding canal boat was built by Mr. Samuel Sneeden. e boat Is 90 feet long, 17 feet 9 t ) and has carrying capacity 7,000. bushels or 210 ns ‘of wheat. With @ full cargo her draught of ter is about six feet. The engine is located in pH etern os pe 2 the high a eel ea eg two cylinders, -preasure cylinder being seven inches in diameter and twelve-inch stroke, and the low jure twelve inches in diameter and twelve-inch stroke. The steam is generated Dy a vertical tubular boiler of peculiar construc- tion, to which the cylinders are attached on either the whole forming the most compact and ‘ical power we have ever seen. ‘The power is applied by means of two screw pro- as in the stern of the boat four feet six inches diameter and four feet pitch, attached to the crank and shaft, cach driven by one of the cylinders and together at half stroke to secure uni- formity of motion and to prevent the possibility of getting fast 90 centre.

GOLD DOWN A QUARTER PER CENT. “Cash” Gold Easier and a Wide Fluc- tuation in the Leading Rates. THE GOVERNMENT GOLD SALE. Two Millions Awarded at 114 a 114.08. A Low Currency Balance in the Treasury. Government Bonds Heavy and Lower, Stocks Doll and Steady—Erie Rises Three and Falls Two Per Cent. WALL STREET, } Taunspay, August 22—6 P. M. - On Change to-day wheat was inclined to dulness and flour was heavy. The cotton market was quiet. MONEY FOUR TO SEVEN PER CENT. The money market was active and the rate in call advanced from 4 to 7 per cent. The banks are contracting their loans to the stockbrokers and shipping money to the Western banks. The demand this afternoon was tosome extent arti- ficial, but there is little doubt that many brokers disconnected with the ‘bear’ clique in the stock market were compelled to pay the highest rate to- day, the inquiry being maintained to the close of sidewalk dealings, and 7 per cent being paid up to the last moment. A corresponding firmness is noted in mercantile paper and prime names are quoted at7a9per cent discount, with the busi- ness in the vicinity of8 per cent. Foreign exchange was weak and rates declined fally one-quarter per cent, closing nominally at 108% for prime bankers’ sixty days sterling, and 1095¢ for sight bills. HEAVY FAILURE IN LONDON. It will be seen by our cable advices that a well- known mercantile firm in London, the Messrs. Gledstanes & Co., have failed, with liabilities re- ported at ten millions of dollars, A decline in con- sols is attributed to the announcement on ’Change and possibly the reaction and fall in Erie shares are due to the samo cause. GOLD “orr”—114% A 113%. The gold market was weak on the discovery of a less extended “short” interest and the price aftera feverish fluctuation declined from 11434 lo 1134. In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 5 percent for carrying to 3-64 for borrowing. The former Tate was made late in tho day, and reflects the more active demand for money. The closing sales were at 113%. THE GOVERNMENT SALE OF GOLD. The offer of the government to sell two millions $5,793,000, at prices ranging from 113 to 114.08. The two millions was awarded at 114 114.08. The Sub- Treasury paid out $153,000 on account of interest and $10,000 on account of redeemed five-twenties. The Treasury balances are reported as follows:- Currency, $5,700,000; coin, $72,800,000, The out- standing coin certificates are $30,300,000. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as fol- lows:—Gold cicared, $64,696,000; gold balances, $4,458,000; currency balances, $5,082,101. The European steamer took out $20,009, silver, GOVERNMENTS HEAVY. The more active demand for money and the weaker tendency of the gold market late in the day operated unfavorably on the government list, and contributed to a further depression of prices, al- though the changes were not important, and barely exceeded a fraction of 44 a 14 percent. The follow- ing were the final quotations:—United States cur- rency sixes, 113 a 113%; do. do., 1881, registered, 115 @ 11534; do. do., coupon, 117a 11734; do. five- twentles, registered, May and November, 115% a 11534; do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 115% a 11534; do. o., 1864, do, do., 11534a 11544; do. do., 1865, do. do., 115g a 116; do, do., 1867, registered, January and July, 11444 a 114%; do. do., 1865, coupon, do., 114.4 a 11434; do. do., 1867, do. do., 114% a 115; do. do., 1868, do. do., 114% @ 114%; do. ten-forties, registered, 108% 010944 ; do. do., coupon, 112'4 a 11234; do. fives of 1881, registered, 112 a 112‘; do. do. do., coupon, 112 @ 112%. SOUTHERN SECURITIES NEAVY. The Southern list was quiet and dull, with, strictly speaking, a heavy tone and less firmness. The Tennessees and new South Carolinas were a trifle lower and the others fairly steady. The fol- lowing were the latest price: ‘Tennessee sixes, old, 73% a 74; do., new, 73% @ 74; Virginia sixes, old, 463, @ 52; do., new, 50% bid; do., cunsols, 5014 a 61%; do., deferred certificates, 15 bid; Georgia sixes, 70 a 78; do. sevens, 87 a 90; North Carolina sixes, old, 3334 @ 343g; do., new, 20 a 22; do., special tax, 16; South Carolina sixes, old, 50a 65; do0., new, January and July, 27 a 2734; Missouri sixes, 935 a 93%; do., Hannibal and St. Joseph, 915; @ 925¢; Louisiana sixes, new, 54; do., levee, 50 a 60.

The activity in money made only a feeble impression upon prices, the result quite disappointing the operators for a decline. The chief feature was Erie, which opened at plump 52)4 as against 49%—the closing quotation the evening previous—the sudden jump being due to an ad- vance of corresponding extent in the London mar- ket, which, owing tothe difference in longitude, was well into the afternoon when our Stock Ex- change opened for business.

M, MASON, No. | Chambers street CONNOLLY'S CASE, Tho Attorney Goneral to Move in It Very Shortly—Promise of Lively Times This Fall—Impossibility of a Trial in tho Case of the Voucher Thicver—Will Con- molly Return ? There were rumors yesterday afternoon around the District Attorney's ofico that tho Attorney General had sent to Mr. Garvin, signifying his in- tention of ‘aking up the case of the late Comptrol- ler, Richard B. Connolly, at an early day. This will, of course, be on the criminal charges against him in which he has given bail in $50,000, In tho civil sult his bailis $500,000, having been reduced from $1,000,000, which it was originally. The Dis- trict Attorney, however, is in profound ignorance of the whereabouts of Mr. Connolly. It was: last said that he was in the “Isle of Man,’! but if he was there at one time it is very certain HE HAS LEFT, His relatives, those mainly who have gone his bail, say that at any time he 1s called upon for trial he will appear and surrender himself, This is all the District Attorney knows, for he himself has made the most strenuous exertions to find out where he is at present residing. This was from no direct interest in his own cases, but from the fact that he is a material witness in the case of the Me thieves, Baulch and Haggerty, who are at present OUT ON BAIL, and who, from the present look of things, will doubtless never be tried. District Attorney Garvin has pevioualy endeav- ored, during the past six months, to bring this case to trial, though he has felt that it would be time lost unless Mr. R. B. Connolly were present as Q witness. To secure his attendance Mr. Garvin has sent warrants and subpoenas all over the coun- try against Mr. Connolly, but the utmost endea- vors have been of no avail in finding him. This ts one reason why many people believe, in spite of the assertions of his relatives, that the ex-Comp- troller will never reap pent here. In the trial of Baulch and Hagerty Mr. Connolly and the servant girl, who saw the vouchers burned, are the princl- pal witnesses, without whom aconviction is con- sidered impossible. Mr. Connolly, unwilling to re- turn, and THE GREAT DOUBT which exists as to the reappearance of the girl, will then always prevent a trial of the case. Mr. Gar- vin has crib 4 been lavish of promises that he could put his hand on the girl when wanted and produce her to give her testimony. Mr. Garvin in this, however, has probably fallen into error, ‘The girl remained here for some time after the facts of the cage came out, and when it would have been quite possible to bring it to trial. But as public iaterest relaxed she appears to have been spirited away, 80 that now itis doubtful if ever she could be Induced to return, The bringing up of the crim. inal indictments against Mr. Connolly by General Rarlow (who it will be remembered requested that they be left with him) now revives the question of his return, and whether if he docs return Baulch ind Hagerty will be dealt with as Mr. Garvin a has 50 OFTEN PROMISED. Sheriff Brennan has no further interest in the cases. When the Court accepted the sureties as to the dail his responsibility ceased in the matter, The only man amongst the city criminals in whom he feels the slightest interest is Woodward, who has i Pf 80 carefully out of the way, however, that it has been impossible to effect hia arrest. In case Connolly's case is called on during the coming term it is very probable those against Mr. Tweed may nannnnnle mere in which case.there will be lively times this a FOSTER'S FATE. His Case To Be Finally Decided Upon by the Court of Appeals in October—The Novel Question in Law Upon Which His Life Depends. The case of the carhook murderer, which seems to have been forgotten during the more recent and still more sensational Stokes trial, has obtained a new impetus from the announcement that the final and decisive stage will be reached in Oetober be- fore the Court of Appeals sitting in Albany. It will be remembered that Foster’s last appearance tn public was before the General Term of the Supreme Court, when there} were three Judges silting, who refused his plea for a new trial. Jt was then taken to the highest Conrt. District Attorney Sullivan stated to a reporter yes- terday that the Court will not for a moment con- sider the merits of the case. Foster's hope, there- fore, that the Court may reverse the verdict of the jury in so far that it decided it @ case of murder in the first degree, though the counsel on the other side strongly contended that there was clearly no remeditation, will be deceived. The only question he Court will feel called upon to consider will be the exception of Foster's counsel to that point in the charge of oxsuege lardozo to the jury in which he refused to say that striking with a dangerous n (a carhook) with intent to injure, but with- out intent to kill, was murder in the second degree. This is anew point which has never been raised in a trial for murder, and on the decision of the Court of Appeals ag to whether that part of the charge was strict law or not hang all Foster’s chances for lite. Judge Ingraham, in his opinion on this point at the General Term, said that such a decision would prevent @ man ever being hanged in this State again, as any murderer might say that when he fired OG. tol with fatal effect he did not mean to kill, but simply to canse a wound. Should this point be sustained in October by the Court of A) eals Foster will probably be hanged some time in foveiber, and nothing could save him but the Gov- ernor’s interference. , Otherwise he would be granted a new trial, and very possibly adjudged guilty of 9 lesser crime than murder in the first de- gree. a8 the general sentiment is that premedita- lon did not enter in his case. SUIOIDE OF A GERMAN CARPENTER, His Unsaceessfal Ambition—Found Dead in a Chair, with Pistol in His Hand and a Balict Hole in His Head. At half-past two o'clock yesterday afternoon the inmates of the house No. 73 Third street were 8 HONORS TO ADMIRAL COBURG. His Reception Yesterday by Admiral Rowas at the Navy Yard. A Visit by the Princes of Coburg to the Fourth and Sixth Ward Police Stations—Inspeo- tion of an Engine House and the Performances of the Horses, Prince Augustus Coburg, Admiral in the Braziiias NuVy and President of the Admiralty Board in coun Wy, was afoot early yesterday morning, after w'titing a few despatches for Rio Janeiro by tho mail Which leaves this port to-day, he set ou® for the Navy Yard, which he reached at eleven o'clock, His rat proceeding was to call upon Ad- miral Rowan, who received his visitor with that genial courtesy for which he 1s so proverbiat- A general tour of inspection waa then takem over the whole of the yard, which appeared to im- terest the Prince very highly. Admiral Rowan showed tact in not wearying his visitor by dwelling too much on matters of detail, knowing that the Brazilian Admiral had visited every naval station of any magnitude in Europe. A NEW INVENTION, Admiral Rowan explained the workings ef Wheeler's patent new wheel for steering and pre- pelling a vessel simultaneously. Visits were then paid to the Lyceum torpedo boats, machine shops, foundry and ordnance department, and a fying visit of inspection was paid to the Hartford, now preparing for sea, and also to several vessels on the stocks, including the tron-clad monitor Colossus, & SALUTR OF SEVENTEEN GUNS. At noon precisely, as the two Admirals wore walking together in the Navy Yard, a salute of seventeen gums was fired from Cobb Wharf, and the Brazilian standard was hoisted on the Vermont. Admiral Rowan, as soon as he heard the boot of the first gun, turned round and sald :— ae “Admiral, I have the honer to salute you." Prince Augustug, in & few well-chosen words, acknowledged the compliment. Subsequently the Prince lunched at the Admiral’s realdence, and then returned to New York to keep an a} ntment with the Brazilian Minister, at four o'clock, at the Brevoort House. Upon his return there he found his brother, Prince Philip, hard at work at letter- writing, having been so engaged the whole day. THE DIPLOMATIO RECEPTIOZ. At four o’clock tho Minister of Graztl to this country, Dom A. P. de Carvalho Borges, Extraordt- nary Envoy and Minister Plenipotentiary, paid his a to Prince Augustus and his brother Prince Philip. The Minister was followed by Mr. Fleury, Secretary of the Brazilian Legation at Washington; Mr. Aguar, Brazilian Consul in this city for ty years, ‘with his two sons, Messrs. Louls and Albe! Aguar; Captain Francisco Saro di Freitas, of the Brazitian Navy; Mr, Ludeman, Brazilian Vico-Con- sul, and several othors of note, including Mr. John Jacob Astor, who served with Count de Paris om General McClellan's staff during our late war, and several wealthy Brazilian merchants, resident tm this city. The recoption was perfectly informal and was marked by great cordial{ty on both sides, VISITING POLIOK STATIONS, Last evening the Princes, having expressed & desire to pay a visit toone or more of the police stations and fire stations, were taken by the writer down to the Fourth ward police station, to sce the manner in which New York deals with her criminat population. Entering the station Sergeant Brookes, the hero of many a talented arrest, was found im- mersed in his books. On being told there was noth- ing criminal in the visit, the worthy sergeant arose from his chair and kindly volunteered to escort the party around the building. The first visit, as being the most interesting, was paid to the cells, with their grim Iron gates. After the jailer with his large bunch of keys had opened the outside door, a din, as it were FROM THE CENTRE OF PANDEMONIUM, waa heard. The cause of the tumult was an old woman of the well-known name of McCarthy, who had been locked up for intoxication. The woman's blasphemy in der Oe her Maker, her obscenity and horrible expletives as the party passed by caused Prince Augustus to remark that in all his Ife and in all his travela he had never heard such fearful language. Ledving the old harridan to her reflections and amid her foulest curses the party left the prison. “THE POOR TRAVELLERS.” Ascending a flight of stairs in the yard the Se ers’ department was reached. In spite of daily washing and scrubbing these lodging quarters emit @ nauseating stench when tenanted on a hot Sum- mer's night, and it was only by power of will that the party penetrated into them. The first one vis- ited was the women's, where a dozen of them were seen, some with degraded faces, but still beart the redeeming ire of having known better anc happler ese Others were there on whose brows was indelibly stamped the impress of vice. Old women were there, too, the sands of whose life were apparently nearly all run out, and for whom ‘A PAUPER’S GRAVE AT HART'S ISLAND will in all probability soon be dug. All the women were squatted on the floor, No benches were fixed in the immense beds, which run from one end to another ofthe dormitory. The Princes said that they could imagine what the men’s quarters would. be after seeing the women’ id posor dingy Te- men bo berlin pee Here nt cakes, tee found again, st leeply enga; in preparing accounts; but he kinaly consented Dekpiaie the mystery of the telegraph te them—how by sending three or four numerals the equivalent of ten or a dozen words could be sent, and he then read to them a number of questions frequently used in the poltes service, such as, “Have you arrested a mar by the name of ” “Have yon @ lost girl ?’* &c., &c. Thanking the Sergeant for his courtesy ie party withdrew, and made their way down to t SIXTH WARD POLICE STATION, where the Deodands, as they are entitled, or collec- tion of knives, pistols and slugshots, wire ladders, used by burglars, skeleton keys, jimmics, Ku Klux badges, were examined by them at length, and the history of manya deed of human butchery con- nected with the knives and pistols before them was nd pin by Sergeant Walsh. A visit was then pal id to Captain Kennedy's handsome room, with its large gallery of well-known politicians, princt- ally collected by the late Police Superintendent jourdan, who formerly occupied the room while captain of the Sixth. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. Along visit was next paid to engine house No. 7 and the hook and ladder poreneey situated at the corner of Chambers and Centre streets. After ad- miring the well known No. 7 engine the foreman sounded an alarm, and within thirteen seconds two of the horses had rushed out of their stalls an@ | wero harnessed in the hook and ladder truck. Prince Augustus, who took the time with watch, declared it to be one of the most interesting ts he had ever witnessed in his life.

Coroner Schirmer yesterday inquired into the cause of death of the following persons:— August Lampe, of 588 Water street, who fell out of a window on the 14th instant and died of bis in- juries. John McCauley, a driver on Avenue C Raflroad line, who fell over the dashboard of his car (No. 20), on nie street, the wheels ing over him and Inflicting ia en from which he died. John Erned, who died at Bellevue Hospital, having been run over by car 99 of the First Avenue line om the 2ist instant. Margaret Cosgrove, of No. 220 Ninth avenue, who ‘was supposed to have been killed by her husband. The post-mortem made by Dr. Cushman shows that she dicd of natural causes, and the husband was released from custody. Everett Hobart, aged seventeen years, of No. 500 Fifth avenue, ie evidence showed that, while bathing in the Parmetto River at Truro, Massa- chusetts, a few days ago, he was accidentully drowned. Moritz Smolensky, @ child, of No. 61 Norfolk street, on the 7th of August was run over by car No. 5 of the Cross-Town and Canal street line, an® died on Wednesday. Coroner Schirmer held the inquest, and a verdict of accidental death was startled by hearing the report of @ pistol in a bedroom on the second floor, occupied by John Stgmuller. Proceeding to the room, they found the door securely fastened, and wero unable tareceive any response from the occupant. Fearing alt was not right, they despatched a mea senger. to the Seventeenth precinct station house, corner of First avenue and Fifth street, who in- formed the sergeaat in command what had occur red. Officer Howell was sent toinvestigate tne case, and upon arriving at the house burst the door in. A horrid sight was Hresented them as Stigwul- ler sat bolt upright in a chair dead, his eyes wide epen, apparently staring at them.
