The Fate of Dr. Livingstone. On the 5th of June, a meeting of the Geographical Society was held at Burlington House, London, Sir R. Murchison in the chair. Among those present were Lord Houghton, the Earl of Sheffield, Sir Thomas Alexander George Finlay, F. R. G. S., read a paper the object of which was to prove, as far as it is possible to do so inferentially, that Dr. Livingstone had reached or was about to enter the southern limits of the basin of the Nile, when the last painful news of him was orwarded from Africa. The Chairman said that before asking gentlemen to express their opinions on the able paper that had just been read, he thought it his duty to introduce to the meeting two gentlemen, one of whom was about to command the search expedition for Dr. Livingtone, that gallant officer and old companion of the Doctor's, Mr. Young; and, the other of whom, Mr. Falkner, was about to accompany the expedition at his own cost. He requested Mr. Young to briefly address the meeting, pointing out the course the expedition was about to take. Mr. Young said that trey intended to leave. England in the Cape steamer, carrying with their boat provisions and goods for barter. On their arrival at the Cape, a man-of-war would take them to the mouth of the Zambezi. They would then procced up the Zambezi to the month of the Shire, and then up the latter river as far as Murchison's Falls. There it would be necessary to take the boat to pieces, and having passed the falls, they would again launch their boat, and they could then proceed by Lake Nyassa to within 50 miles of the place where the negroes stated that Dr. Livingston was illed a statement which, for his part, he did not be lieve. [Applause.] Sir. R. Murchison said that they hoped to know the result of the expedition by Christmas. The Chairman congratulated the meeting on the growing disbelief in the story of the death of his illus trious friend Dr. Livingston. Before the proceedings terminated he wished, at the request of Sir Samuel Baker, to bring before the meeting a scheme proj osed by that gentleman for a full and satisfactory explora tion of the water and bed of the Nile-such a one as would effectually set at rest all the great questions now in dispute. It was to induce the Viceroy of Egyp to declare himself the sovereign of these inland seas. which were very valuable for commercial purposes, to 3nd an army divided into several divisions to assert his claim, and Sir S. Baker added that he would have no objection to becoming commander-in-chief of the expe dition. (Laughter.] Death of a Journalist.
