Abstract
A REUTER'S telegram from Aden, of March 23, states that the steamer Calcutta arrived there from Zanzibar on the previous day with the body of the late Dr. Livingstone. We fear this must be regarded as final, and as shutting out any further hope; we can only now do all possible honour to those remains which the doctor's faithful servants have so religiously preserved. A letter recently received from Zanzibar, by Mr. R. A. Laing, states that the body, after having been exposed to the sun for a month to dry, and then packed in a hollowed tree, was wrapped round with cloth, and the natives carrying it supposed it a bale of cloth, or kaniki.
