13 JULY 1872, Page 2

The Submarine Telegraph Companies' agent at Aden has tele- graphed

to London to announce Mr. Stanley's arrival on 11th July.. He has with him, it is stated, letters from Dr. Livingetone to the Government and to his personal friends. He found Dr. Living- stone "unwell, but resolute not to return until he had completely finished his work." Of course the letters, when they come, will dis- pose completely of the doubts raised in many minds by the incoher- ence of the Herald's summary of Mr. Stanley's despatches, and by Mr. Stanley's not unnatural desire to invest his success with a kind of mild dramatic interest. He is not bound to have understood precisely all Dr. Livingstone's geographical statements.
