NOTES AND COMMENTS.

TnE expedition headed by Mr H. M. Stan ley for tho ro'.ief of Dr. Emm Boy, one of the Egyptian Governors, who, like Gordon, has been cut off in Equatorial Africa, is now preparing to start. A rumour

has boon circulated that the expedi tion is ronilered unnecessary by Btnin Boy's epcapo, but this report Mr;Stnn loy discredits. Tho last advices from the beleaguered doctor wero roceived' by Dr Kobert \V\J?olkin, of Edinburgh,* who Bout from Emm Bey, dated Wadelai, July 7th, ISS6. Notwithstanding the cheerful tone of Emm BeyV letter, Dr. Felkin quotes certaiD facta to chow that he is . iv a really critical position. In his letter E.-min Bey pays:—"From my last letters you will.learn that I have come to the de- ~, termination to hold out here with my people. Thiß resolution has been greatly strengthened by the letters which I received from Mr Macfcay a few days . ago. The new King of Uganda ban begun his career with the murder of . Hannington. and has further deter- * mined that his policy against Europeans shall be hostile. In conetquence of this, 1... : immediately wroti- to Sir Jobn Kirk and ■ ' I tlie Government at Cairo informing them of my position, and also of mv resolution to hold my province. I have certainly some glim moriiigs of hope that, "as Egypt) appears to be unable to sopd us aid, Eng land may at some future day take advantage of the position in which- we find ourselves to remain true to her: former traditions of a humanitarian and! , civili3ing nussion. I have rcaliy very little- "■ nows to tell you ; the only new trial which * God ha 3 seen fit to bring upon us has been an extensive epidemic ot smallpox, which has cost us many lives, because the people would not allow vaccination ta be carried out. I am glad to be able to tell you that the. province is in complete safety and order. It is true that the Baris gave us some little trouble, but I was Boon able to reiuduce order in their district. Since I last wrote - you all the stations are busily employed in agricultural work, and at each one'con siderable cotton plantations are doing, well. This is all the more impor tant for us, as it enableß ■ us, to ■ a certain extent, to cover our nakednees. I have also introduced the shoemaker's art, and you would be surprised to see the.pro gress we nave made. We can make our own soap, and we have at last enough meat and grain, so that we have enough to keep life going; such, luxuries, however, as sugar, r &c,of course wejbaveno'tseenformany a Ion); day. 1 forgot to say that we are growing. the most splendid tobacco ! Personally I am only in want of books and fine shot,, arsenic, soda, &c, to enable me to continue the preparation of zoological specimens. On the 18th of May I sent off a full copy of my journal to ■ your sister. I hope it may arrive safely. Please - send me newspapers and books; write to me soon ; and believe me to be yours most sincerely."

A pamphlet was published at the end of last > ear, which skives tho respective values o{ British and liish pro uce exported to British pofsehsions, aud ot the imports to the United Kingdom from those possessions, during the yearn 1874 and 18S4. The diagrams which illuetrato the valuta aru by Sir John Coode, KC.M:G., C.E. They show thuc the exjorta to British possessions for the ten years reached neaily £80,000,000, or some £10,000,000 more than the aggregate ex ports in 1874. To foreign countries the ex ports for the same period decreased from £167,000,000 in 1874 to £152.000,000 in 1884. Trude with Bricish India brought the exports from £24,000,000 in 1874 to £30,500,000 ten jeara later. To Aua iralia the exports were valued at over £14,000,000 in 1874 aud at £19,500,000 a decade later. Exports to Canada tho>v a decrease of near'y £1,000.000, viz., £9,000,000-in 1874 and £8,000,000 in 1834. • Other British colonies present a decrease of £3 000,000 on a total export in 1874 of £22,000,000 In the diagram repre senting the value of produce exported during the came decade to each Briiish colony, Australia's trade towers far and away above that of any other depend ency, Canada being a very.poor second, aud >'ew Zealand an inferior third The exports to the latter colony for the decade show a falliDg-off from £4,500,000 to £2,500,000. As regards the imports of the United Kingdom, the totals are as follows : -British India— 1874, £31,000,000 ; ISB4, £34,£00,000. Aub tralia, 1874, £14.500,000 ; 1884, £22,000,000, Canada, 1574, £11,250,000 ; 18S4, £10,300,000. other British colonies, 1874, £24,000,000 ; 1884, £28,000,000. Imports from Australia and Canada very greatiy exceed those from any other depend ency ; Australia, aa in the exports, being the largest contributor, with a total of £22,000,000 in 1884, aa against £14,500,000 in 1874. The value of goods imported from Canada de creased during the decade from £11,300,000 to £10,300,000. The value of, goods im-: ported from all other British possessions shows a gradual increase, except in the cases of the West India Islands, Canada, Ceylon, arid, Nat»}, ■
