Abstract
OUR readers are no doubt familiar through the daily press with all that has transpired during the past week in reference to the all-absorbing topic of the late Dr. Livingstone and the home-bringing of his remains. The coffin containing these arrived at Southampton yesterday morning, and was received by the Corporation, Livingstone's family and friends, the President and fellows of the Royal Geographical Society, and many others, with all solemnity and with every mark of genuine respect. The body of the great explorer was accompanied to the station by a long and distinguished procession, and was conveyed in a special train to London, to be buried in Westminster Abbey on Saturday at 1 P.M.
