Abstract

AFTER we went to press last week, a most cheering telegram was received in this country respecting the fate of Dr. Livingstone, as follows:—“Aden, May 1, 1872.—The Abydos has returned from Zanzibar. She brings news that Dr. Livingstone is safe with Stanley. The news is brought by natives.” It may fairly be hoped that still more authentic intelligence will shortly be received respecting the fate of the great traveller, with respect to whom such anxiety has been manifested in this country. Another despatch speaks also of the destruction of a large portion of the town of Zanzibar by a terrible hurricane on April 15.
