A true Bill for Murder Against O Ponnell. Lonbon, Oct, 15, The Recorder of the Central Criminal Court, yesterday, charging the Grand Juay in regard to the case of O'Donnell, said

the prosecution claimed that the pris- oner committed deliberate murder of the worst kind, because the victim

has aided the law, whilst under the protec- tion of the Crown, and was killed out of revenge. The sworn jury returned a true bill for murder against O’ Donnell. The grand jury will not return an indictment against O'Donnell until Wednesday. Gen. Roger A. Pryor, O'Donnell’s American counsel, ac- companied the other counsel im court to- day, when it was arranged that a motion to postpone the trial will be heard on Wednes- day, after the indictment of the prisoner will be presented.

— Stenley in Africa. . A LETTER FROM THE EXPLORER TELLING a NEW DISCOVERIES,

A letter from Henry M. Stanley, dated at Stanley Pool, Oongo River, July 14th, | has been received by a personal friend cf | his in Boston, Mass. With regard to his | sudden departure from Europe, Mr. Stanley | explains the cause as being a sensational | and exaggerated telegram that was printed in the English papers to the effect that one of the stations had been attacked and the chief of the expedition badly wounded. The chief, who was heartily disliked, he found had been shot in the farm, but no station had been attacked. It seems that the station was partially broken up by the per- sonal ambition of the younger men of the party, each of whom desired to succeed the chief. Mr. Stanley thinks that the station can be supplied with native help. The number of steamers and boats has been in- creased, and altogether he considers every- thing most encouraging. At Leopeldville there are two missions,jthe Baptist and the Livingstoné Congo missions, and already their buildings present quite an imposing appearance. Mr. Stanley says;—

“Since | arrived on the Congo last De- cember | have been up as far as the Equa- tor and have established two more stations, and, besides discovering another lake (Mantumba), have explored for a distance of a hundred miles or thereabout the river known on my map as the Ikelembu, but which is really the Malunda. It is not as large as I stated in my book, but is a stream of the size of the Arkansas, and is deep, broad and very navigable. The big stream, which, I expect, must drain the largest part | of the south Congo basin, must be higher | up. Having become better acquainted with the country | am really strick with the dense population of the equatorial part of the basin, which, if it was uniform through- out, would give 49,000,000. The number of products and the character of the people are likewise remarkable. The gums, rubber, ivory, camphor, wood, and a host of other things would repay transportation, even by the very expensive mode at present in use. The people are born traders, and are, for Africans, very enterprising and in- dustrious.”

Mr Stanley tellg of his mecjation be- tween two tribes which were at war, and which, when peace was brought about by his efforts, elected him ‘Father and mother of their country,” a distinction which he also received from another tribe. Mr. Stanley says he enjoys the most robust health, and, in fact, is as strong as ever.
