Two telegrams have been received this week from Zanzibar, one

announcing that natives have arrived there with news that Mr. Stanley, the agent despatched by the New York Herald to find Dr. Livingstone, has succeeded in his quest. The great traveller is in safety at Ujiji on Lake Tanganyika, and in company with Mr. Stanley. The other raeaaage announces that a tremendous hurricane has swept the island, and destroyed the town and all ships except the Abydos. The losses are estimated at £2,000,000, and 150 ships have perished. Both telegrams require confirma- tion and more details, the hurricane story in particular looking very doubtful. Wind in the East can do anything in the way of destruction, but it cannot create ships, and what should 150 vessels be doing off Zanzibar?
