LIVINGSTONE'S LAST JOURNEY. TELEGRAMS TO THE WEW YORK HERALD. The following special despatch: to the Heparp has been received from our corre- spondent in the British metropolis: — Lonvon, March 29, 1874, The steamer Malwa arrived off Suez at eleven o'clock on Saturday night, 28th inst., having on board Arthur Laing and Jacob Wainwright in charge of the remains of Doctor Livingstone. “BUILD ME A HUT TO DIE IN.” They report that the great explorer had been ill with chronic dysentery several months. He was well supplied with stores and medicines, but had a presentiment that fhe attack would prove fatal. He rode fora time on a donkey, and was then carried along by men. In this manner he arrived at Miu- lala, beyond Lake Bemba, in the Bisa coun- try.

SIGHING FOR HOME. He spoke much and sadly of his home and family. When he was first seized he told his follow- ers that he intended«to exchange everything for ivory and to give it to them and then push of to Ujiji and Zanzibar and try to reach -Zngland. PRESERVING THE REMAINS. The same day on which his death occurred bis followers held a consultation on the sub- ject of what was best to be done, The Nas- sick boys determined to preserve his remains. ‘Ibey were afraid to inform the Chief of his ‘Agath, and they secretly removed the body to @hother hut, and built a high fence around it fo insure privacy. They then removed the entrails from the body and placed them in a tin box, which they buried inside of the fence, under a large tree. A TABLET AND INSCRIPTION. Jacob Wainwright cut an inscription on the tree in the following words:— nneorentrrerseneee, AORCRLLORELELETLOELEDE DEDEDE DD: DR.

The body was preserved in salt and dried ~under the sun during a space of twelve days.

They then journeyed to Unyanyombe, in about six months, sonding an advance party forward with information addressed to Living- stone's son. This party met Cameron, who, on receipt ‘of the nows, sent back the bales of cloth and the powder which he was taking to Livingstone. The body arrived at Unyanyembe in ten days after the advance party reached there. The whole party rested there during a fortnight. DILLON’S SUICIDE. Messrs. Cameron, Murphy and Dillon were there together, the latter very ill in health, blind and with his mind affected. He com- mitted suicide at Kasakera and was buried there. TO ZANZIBAR. At Unyanyembe Livingstone’s remains were placed in another case of bark—one of smaller size—done up as a bale of merchandise in order to deceive the natives, who objected to the passage of a corpse. ‘They were thus carried to Zanzibar. Livingstone’s clothing, papers ‘and instru- ments accompanied the Lody. FERVENT AND FAITHFUL, When on his sick bed the doctor prayed much. At Muilala he said:—‘“I am going home ; carry my remains to Zanzibar.” LATEST LETTERS. T. R. Webb, Esq., United States Consul at Zanzibar, has. received letters, through Mur- phy, from Livingstone, addressed to Mr. Stanley, which Consul Webb will deliver per- sonally, THE GEOGRAPHICAL NEWS. The only geographical news is as follows: — ‘After Stanley’s departure Dr. Livingstone left Unyanyembe, rounded the south end of Lake Tanganyika, travelled south to Lake Bemba, or Bangweolo, and crossed it south to north. He then journeyed along the east side, returning north through the marshes to Muilala, All his papers were sealed and ad- dressed to the Secretary of State, in charge of Arthur Laing, a British merchant at Zanzibar.

Instead of the blatant style in MATER. wluch this ne aria is sometimes sung, the tenor on this occasion phrased and delivered it wath the Jeeling and mtelli- gence of a true artist.
