MR. ENDERBY JACKSON'S ENTER TAINMENT.

HAIIEY RTCKAKDS' BENEFIT TO-KIGH'I

The performance at the < lity Hall last night was very successful. Mr. Hallam sang more than his usual quantum of songs on account of the absence of Mrs. Mitchell. He was very well received, and deserves every praise forMa exertions. Mi-. Harry JRickanls and Miss Carrie Riokards of course delighted the audience. Sir. Rickards is intensely comic, and never vulgar. His various "makes-up" are superb to a degree. He possesses all t]it> qualifications ol an actor, and in his own particular line is the best comic singer that has appeared here. These entertainments are

now thawing to a close, and only one or two ..^yff-'O* opportunities Avill be accorded the lie of attending them. To-night is » - r >arfc for a farewell benefit of Mr. ItSStttiils, and we hope to see so popular an artiste receive a bumper liouss. A number of fresh songs will be produced from his almost inexhaustible repertoire, and the performance is sure to give every satisfaction. The company open at the Theatre Royal, Thames, on Saturday evening, for a Snort season.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM DR. LIVINGSTONE.

Thk N.Y. Herald has another letter from Dr Livingstone, cabled. from London, and ad dressed to James Gordon Bennett, of which the following is and extract : " 111 trying to make the eastern African slave trade better known to Americans I indulge hopes that .1 am aiding, though in a small degree, the good time coming yet when slavery will, as piracy, be chased from the world. Many have but a faint idea of the evils that trading in slaves inflicts on its victims, and the authors of its atrocities, slaves generally, and especially those on the West Coast, at Zanzibar and elsewhere, are extremely ugly. ] have no prejudice against their color ; in deed, any one who lives long among them forgets that they are black, and feels that they are just fellow men ; but the low, retreating forehead, piignacious jaws, lank heels, and other physical peculiarities com mon among slaves and the West African negroes always awaken some feelings of remorse. 1 would not utter a syllable cal culated to press down either class more deeply in the mire in which it is already sunk, but 1 wish to point out these are not typical Africans, any more than typical Englishmen, and that the natives on nearly all the high lands in the interior of the Con tinent are, as a rule, fair average specimens of humanity. I happened to be present when all the head men of the great chief Msema, who lives west of the south end of Tangyanycka, had come together to make peace Avith certain Arabs who had burned their chief town, and I am certain one could not see more finely formed intellectual heads in any assembly in London or Paris, and the faces and forms corresponded finely with the shape of the heads. Msema himself had lieen a sort of Napoleon for lighting and con quering in his younger days. Many of the women were very pretty, and, like all ladies, would have been much prettier if they had only let themselves alone. Fortunately the dears could not change charming black eyes, beautiful foreheads, nicely rounded limbs, well-shaped forms, and small hands and feet, but must adorn themselves ; and this they do by filing their splendid teeth" to points like cats' teeth. They are not black, but of a warm brown colour. In (Jazembe, the Queen, Maraia Xyombe by name, Mould be esteemed a real beauty either in London, Paris, or New York, and yet she had a small hole through the cartilage near the tip of her fine slightly aquiline nose." The Doctor details the peculiarities of the people, called Itua, and tells of a number of them who were captives, dying of a broken heart. He also tells of a water shed or broad tree covered upland, some seven hundred miles in length, from west to east, with a general altitude of more than five thousand feet above the sea, having mountains standing on it at various points, six and seven thousand feet above the ocean level. On this water shed springs rise, which are well nigh innumerable. These springs join each other and form brooks, which again converge and become rivers, or say, streams of twenty, forty or eighty yards wide, that never dry, and all flow towards the centre of an im mense valley, which he believed to be the Valley of the Nile. In this trough we have at first three large rivers, then all unite in one enormous lacustrine river, the central line of the drainage of Avhich he named Webster Lualaba.

In this great valley there are also live great lakes —one near the upper end called Lake Bemba, but it is not a source of the Nile. No large liver begins in a lake. It is supplied by a river called the Chambesei, and several others which may be considered its sources. Chit it flows a larger river, the Luapula, which forms Lake Moera, and comes out at the great lake river Luluaba to form Lake Komalondo. West of Komalonda, but still in the great valley, lies Lake Lincoln, which he named as a tribute of love to the great and good man of America, whose friendship he enjoyed for some time. The last one of the great rivers he named Bartle Frerea Lufira This falls into the Komolondo, and Lake Lincoln becomes a lacustrine river and joins the central line drainage. Lut lower down all these united form a hfth lake, at which the slaves sent to me intead of men, forced me to my grief to leave as the un known lake. By my reckoning, the chrono meters being all dead, it is five degrees of longitude west of Speke's position at Ujiji °This makes it probable that the great lacustrine river in the valley is the western branch of Betherick's Nile — the Bahar- Ghazal—and not the eastern branch, which Speke, Grant, and Baker believed to be the river of Egypt. If correct, these would make it the Nile. After the Bahar-Ghazal enters the eastern arm, he found that the mighty river left its washing and flowed right away to the North. The two great western arms drain the Lufira and Toname, and running north-east before joining the central line or main streams. He had been told by the natives that the western side of the great valley was high, like the eastern, and as this main stream is reported to go into large reedy lakes it can scarcely be aught else than the western arm of the Nil". But besides all this, in which it is •■■ possible he might be mistaken, there PJ$ 'wo fountains of probably seven huii \ fa riles of water-shed, and giving I'ise to t\TO--vers —the Leambi, or Upper Zambezi, and the Kafne, which flow into Inner Etho pia. Two fountains are also reported to rise in the same quarter, and forming the Lufira and Tomaine, flow to the north. The country abounds in food of all kinds, and the rich soil raises everything planted in great luxuriance. A friend of mine tried rice, and in between three or four months the crop increased one hundred and twenty fold ; three measures of seed yielded 3GO measures. Maize is so abundant that I have seen forty-five loads, each of about sixty pounds weight, given for a single goat. Maize, dura or halcus, sorghum, hannistrim, cassava, sweet potatoes and yams, furnish in no stinted measure farinaceous ingredients for diet. The halm of the ground nuts and a forest tree afford fatty food. Bananas and plantains are in great profusion, as also sugar

cane (the saccharine), the palm toddy, to bacco and range, with all the luxuries of life ; and the villages abound with goats, sheep, hogs, and fowls, while elephants, buffalo and zebras, and the gokos or gorillas, yield to expert hunters plenty of nitroge nous ingredients of human food.

The Sjjdnoj/ Mail says : •' The fame of the Mudgee district for diamonds seems likely to be eclipsed. We were shewn recently a diamond, said to be the largest yet discovered in New South Wales, which was found by Mr. Creed, of the Fish Siver, on a freehold belonging to Peter Lendster. The ground, which is reported to be highly auriferous, was being pros pected'for gold, when at ajdepthof eight feet the diamond was panned out. Other smaller diamonds have sinco been found and the whole district round Osbern is being prospected and taken up. We un derstand that in the creeks lliere is a. large quantity of a black substance which was at first taken for tin, but which has been proved by repeated assays to contain no mineral of commercial value. The aurifer ous metal is underlying the granite, and under a capping of tertiary basalt. W. B. Clarke, Professor Watt, Mr. G. M. Stephen, Mr. Twemlow, and others have examined it, and by all pronounced to be a true diamond" It is an oetohedron, and -weighs ov«r twelve and a half carats. The sum of £'(JSO has been offered for it and refused.

A curious point witli regard to natur alization has just been discovered in con nection with the trial of Scott, convicted of the Egerton Bank robbery. It appears, says the Ballarat correspondent of the Argus, that through some oversight this name of Joseph Brawn, generally called, Brown, a foreigner, who had not become naturalized, was placed on the jury list, and was one of the panel of supposed naturalized subjects summoned for the late trial, Brawn himself appearing in the most happy ignorance that he was doing wrong. The points debated now by those who take any interest in the case are these —The Sheriff issues his pre cept to the police to summon a jury panel of naturalized persons. The police, not doubting that Joseph " Brown" Avas a British subject, as he had been on the jury-roll for years, summoned him as UMial, and he attended, and was sworn in the case illegally, not being natural ized. Scott's friends say his trial was illegal, and that the verdict must be up set. The opposite party say that cannot be the case, as Scott had the right of challange, and should have challenged Brown. Scott's friends reply, that so he would if he had known that Brown was Brawn, and a countryman of Brunn, prin cipal witness against him ; but as the police summoned Brawn as a naturalized subject, it was impossible Scott could have SUS ! pected him to be an alien, as he spoke very good English. Since the matter has been mentioned the police have been making inquiries, and I am told, on good authority, that Brawn is not a naturalized subject, and admits he is not. The matter is likely to be brought before the Supreme Court soon to sec whether it was an illegal trial from the result of which Scott should be set free ; or only a mis-trial, and that he should be tried again by a legally convened jury. The Navigation ov the Navy.—The " Standard" says:— That a hundred and six vessels of her Majesty's navy should have been stranded within the lust eleven yeais; that sixty-five of th3m were declared by authority to have through bad navigation;and that the worth of the national property thus risked exceeded five million sterling, are facts surely worth the impatient attention bestowed on them by the House of Commons on Friday nighr. They involve, however, a question concerning which the highest opinions are at variance, so it. was natural that Parliument should hesitate before putting any definite decision on record. The point, is, whether all the officers of ships should be trained navigating officers. Upon tho face of the matter it would at once suggest itself that tho first assumption was the right one, but there are not wanting arguments in support of the second. The First Lord of the Adinir alfcv, wiih the flippancy which belongs to him, deprecated the statement of the circumstances lest it shonld create alarm with reference to years to conic, but, lie maintained the view we have expressed —that there are few vessels in her Mojesty's navy on board which there are not, officers capable of navigating them, even without the aid of a master. The puble will be glad to believe so much, but there is no reason why it should be blindfolded as to facts or forbidden to inquire how it came to pass that in the course of so short an interval of time more than a hundred of the national fleet were stranded.
