Dr. LIVINGSTONE.

The Suez Mail brings the cheering mtelii.gt.nce that. Dp Livingstone was safe with the ' New York Herald's' special commissioner. The following particulars regarding the expedition led by Mr Stanley, the gentleman in question, are from one of thelastisaues of Colburn's New Monthly Magazine :

In the beginning of 1871, the A meri--can expedition for Dr. Livingstone's aid was in preparation at Zanzibar. Mr. Stanley, the chief of that expedition, left Baga-moyo, on the coast, an the Ist April, 187 L, and following a route so me wh at- to the no rth ward of that taken by Burton, Speke, and Grant, arrived at on the basin of Thara. This is the same plaiin as that on which the Arab post of .Kazeh stands, and it lies in the centre of the native district, of Unyanyembe, more than-two-third* of the way from Zanzibar to Lake Tanganyika, an 1 henee Mr. St.mley dated this report. Mr. Stanley appears, however-, to : have .obtainedinformation about Livingstone, or some other white man, from Arab traders at various points of his journey from the coast to this station, both on the Ungerengeri river, (vailed jLungerengeri by Sr>eke, at Mpwapwa, Kusu'i, and Kubuga, Rubuga of Speke, not far from Kazeh. These traders described him as as old man, with a long beard almost white, which description has led some to question the identity,'but the traders also gave other marks of identification which leave little doubt that Livingstone was meant. A year or two of such a climate, with no means would effect a change in the appearance of any man. One of these A rab traders says that he had seen him at Ujiji in 1870, and that he was then about to go to Mairungu, south of tanganyika and ITntemi (Manyema?), which shows that Livingstone probably stayed at Ujiji until the beginning of 1870. Another knew that the white mkii had gone to Mantema (Manyema), but said that he had met with a bad accident, and would return to "Ujiji when he had recovered a third said that Livingstone's men had deserted him. Others confirmed the fact that he had gone across the lake early in 1870, and that he had accompanied an Arab caravan to lake Manyema, ft much larger water than Tanganyika. Unfortunately, there is superadded to all this, that x caravan from TTkonogo, which is presumed to be in the Manyema country, brought the news that, he was dead. This sad view, of the subject would; taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration, and the long time that has elapsed since direct intelligence from the great t ra ler h i msel fh as been received, appear, however desponding,, to be a vtry likely one ; but, luckily, Mj\ Stanley reports having heard at Kazeh that Livingstone was on the road from Lake Manyema to Ujiji, the said
