INDIA AND THE EAST.
Galle, July 6. Full details have been received respecting Dr Livingstone. Mr Stanley spent four months with him, and obtained his journals for the New York Herald. Dr Livingstone remains two years more, to make further explorations. The search expedition has been broken up, and the membeTS have gone home. Serious charges have been brought against Dr Kirk, the consul at Zanzibar, of obstructing Dr Livingstone. Major Beddome, conservator of forests in Southern India, visits the Australian colonies by thia mail, also Mr and Mrs Bennet, dramatists, after a successful Indian tour. An elephant kraal, in honor of the G-overnor of Ceylon, comes off in August. A daring attack on the British India mail steamer has been made in the Persian Gulf, and £4,000 of treasure carried off, after one fireman had been killed and several of the crew wounded. The robbers are likely to be captured. The dengue fever is prevailing, and is gradually advancing southward to Madras. A great exhibition ia proposed to be held for the East in Calcutta, in 1873, to include the eastern archipelago and Australasia if agreeable.
