U X -U.. -J-L Dr. Iliiiiprwl one nnl flic hourcc1 of the Mile. From Iht Jjondon Sptttator. Tbo despatch in which Dr. Lavinstone le criheR his discoveries an to tho truo sources f tho Nile Htatup hi in nn one of the greatest explorers who ever lived, will probably com pel us to reviHO nil geographies of Africa cx ppt rtolemy'R fancy Ptolemy instructing Bir It. MnrchiHon in his own subject! ami will certainly modify profoundly tho popular conception as to the interior of Africa, but they will hardly exoite as much interest as tha littlo postscript telling tho Foreign Secretary of a raco in South Central Africa called tho Kna, who dwell in excavated caves, some of them thirty miles long, and lit to contain a diatrict when besieged; who have ' 'picture" or "writings" of Homo kind, and who hnvo eyes "whoso outer Angle slopes inward," a curious statement, which may mean only that tho Ituft have Japanese eyes, or may by pos sibility mean that theso Troglodytes have ac quired from their mode of life somo physical peculiarity. Tho statement is far too vague for any real discussion, but it excites tbo ima gination far more than greater discoveries, appealing as it does to an impression which has cropped out in all Ages, that men might conceivably bo found differing greatly in physique from tho human standard, au im pression ns yet supported by no evidence whatever of any importance, for Mr. Gib son's man urang was in all probability a lumis natural. Let us turn to the Nile. Nearly three years ngo, nine Johanna men, who had accom panied Dr. Liviugstono on his journey to de termine the Nilotic water-shed, appeared at Zanzibar with tho news of tho great explorers death. Tho story which they told was so . well concocted, and tho evidence they ad duced bo very conclusive, that Dr. Kirk's sagacity was for once at fault, and Living stone's former companion fully believed thut his quondam leader had been brutally mur dered in Central Africa. With tho details of this mendaciouw story tho world is now familiar. Mr. Young's search expedition re lieved the public anxiety, and, subsequently, news from Dr. Livingstone himself continued our hopes of his safety. This intelligence came from Bemba, and was dated February, 1NG7; since it was received nothing has boon, until within tho last few days, known of the Doctor's whereabouts. Again the anxiety of the public has been aroused, the hope deterred gradually gave way to despair, and but few believed that the intrepid traveller was not devl. .Sir It od trick Murchison steadily refused his countenance to this fear, and by a number of letters to tho public press, suggesting from time to time certain hypothoses to accouut for his friend's prolonged nilonco, sought to dissipate the doubts and to sustain the hooos of all who felt an interest in tho traveller's welfare, but as month after month rolled by, tho confidence of tho public visibly les sened, until the number of those who ro.illy believed in Livingstone's safety had bioniise Hinhll indeed. Suddenly, however, a telagruui was received stating that Dr. Livingstone had been heard of, and that he was not only alivo and well, but had found what ho believed to be the sources of tho Kile. The news thus flashed home to us from India has boon veri fied. No wonder that Sir .Roderick Murchison and tho Iloyal Geographical Society were jubilant on Mouday last; for not only hal extracts from Dr. Livingstone's letters been sent 'from Zanzibar by Dr. Kirk, but while the meeting was in progress Lord Clarendon sent tho full despatch which he had received from tho Consul-explorer him self. This despatch, to say nothing of tho letters, cleared up ull doubts, and tho won derful sagacity of Sir Roderick Murchison again received tho testimony of proof. Nothing, probably, in tho history of geogra phical enterprise was over regarded with more sincere satisfaction by tho whole nation than this conclusive intelligence relative to the safety of tho greatest of our explorers. But our delight at the prospect of seeing Dr. Livingstone again in the tlesh must not be allowed to overshadow the intense interest attaching to his discoveries. Although in July, 1808 the date of his last despatch Dr. Livingstone had not even seen Lako Tangan yika, and of course could not positively testify that the lake drained into the Nile, he had yet found sufficient evidence, to say nothing of native information, to justify the opinion that not only Tanganyika, but a series of more southerly lakes, contribute their quota of waters to tho "river of Egypt." If this opinion should prove to be correct, he will have solved the great problem of modern geography, and established f bis claim to a place in tho t t foremost rank of geographer of all agtis. to have been something real, and Defoo's f imagination will bo regarded as having been strangely propnetic. in order to appreciate what Dr. Livingstone has done, or is doing, it must bo clearly understood what ho was sont to accomplish. Tho dispute between Captain Burton and Captain Speko relativo to tho drainage of Lake Tanganyika could not bo settled except by porsonal investigation. Bur ton believed that this lake flowed into thj Nile, but in such a case Speke's Victoria N'yan.a would not bo the ultimate source of the river. The latter therefore maintained, with rather ingenious logic, that tho Tangan yika drained southwards, probably into tho Nyassa, and thence into the Zambezi. More over, when Burton and Spoke wei'6 on tho 7 lake its altitude waa fixed by them at IS It i feet, and if tbig wore correct, it would bo im possible, bupposiug other observations to be correct also, for tho Kilo to receive the waters of tbe Tanganyika. Baker mado tho elevation of tho Albert N yanza to be i.'0 feet, and aa bis observations were carefully tested on his return to Englaud their accuracy may be relied on. But Speke's thermometer wit h which his observations were tuken road 14 deg. instead of 214 dog. when brought down to tho coast agtin, aud Mr. Fiudlay h w always argued that 1)) feet should ba added to the altitudo at wbkh Optaiu Seko flxed the lako. This would give it an elovatiou of 284 feot; and as Kir Samuel Baker hud shown tho Albert N'yauzu to bo but 70 feet, tho Tanganyika would bo 121 feot higher than the Nilotic reservoir, and the physical difficulty which seemed to intervene be tween it and tho Nile would thus be removed. Dr. Livingstone was directed to settle this inestion, to ascertain the altitude of the 'i'annnyil and the direction of it drainage, and to determine tLo nature of tho whole water-shed of this part of Africa. How much ho had done lovumlH thin in July of lust year, tho interesting despatch to lord Claren don, which was read before the Geojjr.ipUical Society on Monday evening, clearly slio'.vs, rmd there seems to bo Utile do.ibfc that during the sixteen months th t have elapsed since he wrote, he has completed tho groat work which he undertook. At the time of writing his despatoh Dr. Livin jjoone had not reached the Tanganyika, but, hvhad found a chain of lakes to tho south whicf drained towards the north, and, as ho believed, through the Tanganyika into tho Nile. These lakes are fed byniiMerous rivers of considerable ni.o,, and should they prove to be the head-waters of the Nile, we must look for the oiiri'CH of the mighty riwr nt least t(K) miles south of the most southerly point of the Victoria N'yan.a. Tho river Cbanihesu seems to connect those lakes with each other and with the Tanganyika, an 1 tho whole volume of wa!er whicli they contain in all probability linds ilH way into the Nile. We must wait for further information before we can say positively that theso lakes and rivers are within the basin of tho Nile, but there is every probability that the opinions which havo been expressed in favor of this hypothesis will soon be voriticd. Meanwhile we cannot ul feci extremely interested in tho descriptions which Dr. Livingstone gives of the places whieh ho has visited, and which prove that in tho region now opened up for the first time there aro spots as beautiful and as blessed by nature as anything that we can imagine. Speaking of Lake Litmbn, one of tho chain which ho has discovered, Dr. Livingstone tells us that "it lies in a hollow, with precipitous sides 2000 feet down; it is extremely beautiful, sides, top, nud bottom being covered with trees and other vegetation. Elephants, buffaloes, and antelopes feed on tho steep slopes, while hip popotami, crocodiles, and lish swarm in tho waters. Guns being unknown, tho elephants, unless sometimes deceived into a pitfall, have it all their own way. It is as perfect a natural paradise as Xenophon could have desired. On two rocky islands men till tho land, rear goats and catch fish: the villages ashore aro embowered in tho palm-oil palms of tho West Coast of Africa." Livingstone's present journey has only confirmed what was brought to light in his previous travels, viz.: That instead of tho interior of Africa being a sandy desert, as was formerly thonght, it is really rich in vegetation, and studded with lakes. But there is another fact which Dr. Living stone has discovered in connection with Lake Licmba, and which goes far towards out weighing all others in importance. Tho alti tude of this lako the Doctor ascertained to be UrMO feet, thus showing that Spoke's observa tions were incorrect, aud that Mr. Findlay was probably right in saying Spoke had made a mistake of about 1000 feet in his calcula tions. But wo must wait uutil Dr. Living stone comes home for tho detailed informa tion which will enable geographers to pro nounce their final judgment on the Nilo ques tion. If tho great explorer traces the lake system which he has" discovered into the Tanganyika, aud should find, on arriving at Ujiji, the stores and medicines sent there for his use, he will proceed to the northern end of the lako, and perhaps follow its iifllueiit. Sir Bodcrick Murchison thinks ho will return to Zanzibar after having ascertained tho direction of the drainage of the Tanganyika, but Captain Sherard Osboru considers that he will probably follow the onllet, and see for himself whether it Jlows into the Albert N'yanza, and thence into the Nilo. In the latter case, Dr. Livingtone would, in all like lihood, meet Sir Samuel Baker, and the result of this meeting would be to clear up the great mystery which, for centuries, has shrouded the he ad-waters of tho Nilo. MEN-01MVAK. Home Bl HIitpH that nre Jiiillilinu for John Hull The keel of one of tho typical first-class British war ships of the future has just been laid at Portsmouth. She bears tho suggestive titlo of tho Devastation, and along with her consort the Thunderer, to be shortly com menced, will take precedence of all tho exist ing grades in the British navy. Her length is 26.1 feet, her extreme breadth 2 feet, mean draft 20 feet, and tons burden 44M, old measurement. She is to bo worked by two engines of 800 horso power, and her esti mated speed is setdownat 12 knots por hour. Sho will beablotocarrylCOO tonsof coal, suffi cient for a three weeks' cruise. Sho is to bo constructed on the gonuino turret principle, without any attempt to unite, by the addition of masts and sails, the characteristics of two distinct varieties of fighting ships. Being, then, neither adapted for a cruiser or a guard ship, sho is simply a floating battery of enor mous power. She will curry two turrets, and on each will bo mounted two thirty-ton guns, capublo of throwing shot of six hundred pouuds weight. Her sides aro to bo composed of teak and iron of nearly three feet in thick ness, constituting an armor plating which is intended to make her tho most impenetrable ship of any navy, while her armament is claimed as the heaviest yet attempted. Owing to tho nbseuco of any work aloft, a crow of two hundred and fifty men will, it is said, bo sufficient to work her. She is to cost $1,4.10, 000 in gold.
