In 1/16, an expedition led by Capt. Tuckey was sent out by the English government to ascertain whether the Oongo or Zaire river was not one | { the outlets of the Niger. This officer, whe had been a distinguished by- Grographer, and was the author of a work on Maritime Geography, unhappily perished after an exploration of About two bundred miles, About the same time Major Peddie and Capt.

In 1817, Thomas Edward Bowditch . flicially explorea the country of the Ashantees, a brave and warlike nation, who afterwards, in 1824, defeated the English signally, though a thousand strong, and commanded by Gov. McCarthy, of Cape Coast Castile. Much light was thrown on the interior by Mr. Bowaitch’s work and communica- tions made to him by intelligent Musselmans. He, too, u- fortunately perished on the Gambia, In 1816, M. Moltien, & French traveller, visited Foota Toro, Boudon and Foota Jalia, but failed in croseing tho lofty mountains which di- vide the basins of the Senegal and Niger. The informa- tion he received, however, was valuable in determining he sources of the last named river. In 1832 Major Laing approached them, and saw the summit of the mountains at the foot of which the Niger begins its flow. His enterprise elucidated the geograpby of Timaai, Sooli- mani and Korankoo, In 1823 we firet became acquainted with Capt. Clapper- ton ag an African traveller, Ho had eerved as & midship- man {n the British Navy, and in the war of 1812-15 was taken prisoner at the battle of Lake Erio, having com- mand at the time of the achooner Confidance, Dr. Oud- ney being about to proceed to reside at Bornou, ip Africa, as Consul, Lieutenant Cispperton aud Lioutenant (after- ward Colonel) Denham propcscd to accompany him. Permission being given by Lord Bathurst, the party pro- ceeded to make various journeys from Mourzouk. In one oi them Lake Tohad was discovered, and its waters wore found not to unite with the Egyptian Nile, as had been suspected. Ou their way to tho capital of Kouka, Socea- too, Dr. Ouduey diea. Clapperton reached It in safety, but was not allowed to couiinue bis journey eastward, He returned to Engiand. 80 much importance was at- lached to these renulis that a 6 \d expedition Was or- ganized in 1825, conststing of Capt. Clapperton, Capt. Pearce and Mr. Morrison, for the purpose of penetrating the interior ‘rom the Bight of Benin. The two latter per. ished a short time after leayiug the coast; but the sur. vivor, though he had been 1! himsel!, pursued his way, at- tended by bis eervant, Richard Lander, and pushed on to Katanga, about thirty miles from the Niger, but was not permitted to approach it. He then proceeded north and rescbed Soccatoo, Here be was detalued against bis will by the chieftian Bello, who had iormerly beon bis friend. The disappointment preying on bis mind, he fell il and cied, in 1827, at the village of Conngary, a short distance from the capital. Lander, after mourntully clos. dwg the eycs ol his master, returned to tha coast, aud ibere embarked for Eng’and, it was in 1826, afver a short visit home, that Major Laivg aitempted, at the request of government, to pene- trate to Timbuctvo from Tripoli, which piace he left two Gays ofter his marriege to a lovely woman, the daughter of the British Consul Genera! at that place. Crossing the Gesert, bis caravan was aitacked by robbers, and he re- caived twenty-four wounds in the molee. Yes he perse- vered in bis cxerijons and contyived to rexch Timbuotoo, There be remained a month only, beiag compulled to de. part by an order from the native Sultan. The Governorof ibe place previded bim wih an escort, ashick of the Arabs, to protect him come. c‘stance on his journey: bat he wes barbverously mudered on ie way by his et- terdant, His journals wore lost with him, The next ex pediiion was that of Luchard Laoder (ais second attempt), who, with bie brother John, in March, 3890, landed at Bagrady. They reached Boussa, acd thence descended to the occun by tho Niger, discovering the river Tchadda on their way, end making many oiber yalueb.¢ observa tions, Lancer joined another expedition in 1832, Uited out by ® Liverpool company, to explore the Niger, in two email tieamers aod « tailing veseel. Mr. Hugh Laird, one of the projco'ors, went out with i, apd was also ac- compacicd by Lieut, Alles, of tho navy. In October, 1602, the voasela reaoned the outlet of the river, and soon atier they began to aicend tbe cilmate destroyed twenty of their number. Tho trayollere turned off into the Tehadca, which they found a majestic river, and in hopes uf opening a proMtablo trade ai Furdah, Mr. Laird vished the rolere of the country to ¢xplain his purposes, Barely escaping with bia life, Mr. Laird rejoined his Companions, and returned to Eogland quite satiated with bis adventures, though over alturwards in favor of ex- plorations, After bis departure Lander anda Mr. Uid- | feid attempted to proceed up the river, if poesibie, to the Jake cf that uame, but were compelled to return for want of provisions, They then went up the Niger to Bebdba, a town with forty thoutasd inhabitacte, Here en altempt to trade was [oiled by the negro monarch, who charged bie visivers with catirg Diack men in thelr own country, dyeitg red cloth with their blood, and with bein; jo; Of ignoract fools, ¥50 did sot know the great Alab. The vopegers pat back, and while preparing pro- virions for another voyage up the river, Lauder was shot im w ekirmish with the people of Byarmman, and died of his woutds. Mr. Cidfield then returned to England, In 3840 agether oxpediiion in ibe seme dircetion enilod from Engiand, but it pro 4 po important reaulis, In 1842 Capt, Allem, promoted for former services, made tome ciscoverics in Western Africa, but of not much |, terest, In 1645 3. Dicmern aod Kraft, te tater a Iaiesiouary, eXplored the icterior of Afri lew degroes touth of the Equator. Ever #ince this period exploration has been going ov with inereasing succes, hough as yet the resulw deen communicoted ebielly ia ories reports to and tclevtisc jourrals, rather than in prepared volumes with mape and ‘listrations, We owe to the careful at. tention paid to the subject by Mr. Augustus Petormenn, of Loxcon, much of ihe information we have bad the last few yeare from Atrican travelic:s. In 1848 8 was, wo believe, that Dr. Barthe, Dr. Over beg and Mr. James Richards ited om thelr tour of observation. Dr. Overbeg diet 1852, but tbe sur @ vors continued {Deir Jabors from dierent points of tne const. Dr. Sarthe’s residence for « year at Timbactoo, his researches in Soudan, Livtako and Gurma, ult tracing of the Kowars and its wibuterice, and bus unexpected meeting with a fellow traveller, ir Vogel, would f!! vo lomes with interesting details, Ii is Dr. Barthe who also first made Acamana known jo os, after having «x plored Bornou and Mandera, Dr, Vogel undertook the exemination of the country between Lake Toted and Nabia, the vest piatena between Loango and the mountain ebaine and the empire of Soudan. Mr. Richardson, who started {rom Tumis to erter O:ntral Africa, died bofore sccomplishing bis iutended journey. The expedition of we sieamer Pieiad, in 1854, under the direction of Dr. Baikie, of the royal navy, may be considered in some respects the most aumirabic of all. This vesse! necenied the Tohad¢a 260 miles beyoud the point retonedt in 1842 by Captain Alien and Mr. ViaGeld. it was ascortained that the river was pavigabie up to Yota, the capital of AComana, and acourste surveys of the country were of fected. Not a single life was lost by disease or socident. jo the names we Baye recounted we mum now add ‘hat of Dr, David Livingston, the ¢isooverer of Lake m\, sharing that honor, however, with Captain Os- wold, Thie rema:keblo man has cow passed seventeen yeart as a miesionary and traveller im Africa, trained to the work in part by bis father in law, the Rev, Mr. Mowatt, who was stationed at Lattakoo a# long ago a 1821, ander the auspices of the London Missionary So uty In 1849 Captain Oswald came ovt from England to join bim in an exploring tour, and it was in Jaly of that your they discovered the Joculity of [ake Ngami, which had 80 long exeiied the curiosity and balled tho eflorts of travellers, They were obliged to turm back, however, through the opposition of the oatives, from other intend ed explorations. In 185) ibe two friends recommenced | their journey, starting for the country of Sebitcane, a native chief of sor Oharacter, whose protection and favor were ceswable in the further protecution of thelr purpoees. They visited the rivers Sesheke and the | Yoga, and reached the grem river Zember', which empties into the Mozambique channel, aad which he trated sobsequent y fore long distance. A letter to hie brother, @ clergy man, reviding to Plympton, Masseacho. gets, dated in the above mentioned year, recording rome of bis journeys, i* preserved tp the |i alletin of the Ameri oan Gergraphical Society. Since bis return to Engiand be bas very fully ¢xpiained to ite suvaus the results ot bis observation and experience, and as they have foand thetr way into tho newspapers, noed not be now repeat. ed, The recent travels of Andersson, the Swole tolake Nato) Rave attracted much attention; but on the whole, , fe ‘with the Onevalier Maury, who, ina Inte address to th: French Geographical Society om the subjec: of the pro- gress of geographic rolence im the year 1865, remarks of Andersen’s work, ‘Nous cussions aime a trouver des de terminations geogr: phiques plus prdcises dans sa rela:ion.”” Africa is now ® very acttve scene of explorctions with Christisn missionaries. The French are at work among the Bechuanas, The Americans are penctrating by the Gaboon river near the Equaton and are in Natal, in the Pangue country, and above Mendi, om the western coast. The English are working into the interior from Sierra Leone and at Natal. The c»lonists of Algeria are also endeavoring, if possible, to open # direc! trade with those tribes, whom they have so far overcome, and whom they now wish to gain over by civility and ap- peals to thelr interests, We learn from a late number of the Bombay Times, that Capt. Barton and Lieut. Speke have left Zanvibar, to make explorations in the interior. They are to be absent two years, and will joined on their route by Dr. Sieinhauser, who will leaye Aden for the purpose, Their object is to escertain ihe existence of the great lake or lakes supposed to exist im the interior of Africa, near and south of the Equator to the twentienth parallel. These travellers are in hopes of meeting the great expedition now on its way up the Nile, to which wo have already alluded, and are forti- fed in their expectations of mecting large bodies of water, from the fact ofsuch being alluded to by Piolemy, and their being traditic nary accounts of them extant in the East. Capt, Barton thinks they wil! be found to be the sources of the Nile, They may also be of the great river Zambizi, explored by Dr. livingston, who seems to thnk it has its crigin where the Nile also has. Theso gentlemen intend to be absent for a twelve month, and then return to Zan- zibar for frezh supplies and to take a new departure. It ts asserted by some geographers, that a considerable number of lakes ¢xist on jhe East Coast of Africa, in which mary rivers from the table lands terminate. The woll known salt lake Assal, twenty-five miles west of Tadjurra, is one of them, five hundred and seventy foet below the level of the ocean. Another is the lake Niassi, its lower extremity being crossed by the tenth paralie! south latituae, and several hundred miles in length, which, according to Mr. Somerville, from whom we quote this paragraph, is the fountain head, probably, of the White Nile, It is as yet but little known, We might add to this imperfect sketch—tfor it is not in- tended to be anythicg more than one—some bricf outlines of explorations by individuals in various parts of Africa, of whom we cccasionally hear through (he foreign bulletins, but there is pot cnuough known of their proceedings—to warrantas yet apy opinion of the value of their labors. What is to be the future condition of Africa cannot be foreseen. Civilization and commerce have for hundreds of years been a} work to reciaim it from barbarism. Whatever evidence there exists of even a partial success seems to be iimiled to the places where iho whites have coloz les and stations, and contro! the natives by the force of seperior power and intellect.
