J. HILL WILLIAMS. Actuary and Secretary. The following is • report from the surveyor of .tb• Moe of her Majeety'm Works and Public Buildings, explanatory of the estimate d the Gest d eempleting the Exhibition buildings at Kensington/ere, sad rendering them permanently substantial : " THE INTIANATIONLI, EXHIBITION BUILDING, KIIIen1OTON•OONC " Offic• of Works. Jame 19, 1863. "Sir,—ln obedienos to the direetioss of the First Com• mksioner of her Majesty's Works, that I should give him • general outline of the asters of the works comprised is my estimate, sod speeidcatime for the repairs sad re instidemeate of this boildiog. I have the homes/ to submit the following staismeot : "The brick building in Cromwell-reed, mid during the ifshibition in 1862 u a gallery for pictures, is a subetan. tial street:ire. The roof, however, rimidres to be repaired sad the skylights replaced with others of • Amager char rioter glared with sheet glom. It is proposed tato to lay sew wrought door boards over these now exiling. and to render the whole of the gallery fire-proof by the alloy Neu of Fox and Barrett's principle, which has been found efficient, or by the construction of brick arise en iron girders nadir the present door. The re mainder of the buildings us partly permanent and oily temporary is their emeterselites. The iris NOW* and des, , all .- tbs yes trams at Se malls, will mama permanently with some adjustments and modifications. The timbers of the mots, as wall as the skylights, are, with the exception of the roofs over the rive and traesepte, of a temporary characeer, and it is pro. posed to remove them, substituting new timbers with • covering of slate or marine metal. The skylights will be entirely sew, and the glees in them will be of the quality known as the 21 come sheet. The roofs over the nave end transepts will be slated. All the gutters throughout will be Heed with lead ; and the sky light, frames, ridges, and hips, will be covered with lead. The joists and floor boards of the galleries will be removed. and substantial new doors will be substituted. The whole of the ground doors throughout the entire bedding will be removed. A layer of commie 12 Weiss thick will then be laid over she whole surface, and a new door constructed, with new material,. The joists will be of the best fir tim ber ; the sleepers will be of oak, on proper brick wills, built on the concrete platform before described, and the floor boards will he 1t inch thick, planed, and pat together with iron Memos- All the ceilings throughout, except the nave and transept, will be plastered, se will also all the brick walls within the building. A complete system ' of drainage was oonetracted whets the buildings were erected. They will, however, require to be re- paired, and in parts retold. With regard to the domes, it is proposed to build piers of brick- work upon solid concrete foundation, and to construct brick arches, springing from these piers. The lower porticos of the domes will then be filled in with brickwork, covered extereally with lead, and the upper portion will be glazed with thick glass. The ieterior parts of the brickwork, ia eluding the piers and arches, will be plastered. It is not proposed to remove the irousork, but to build it in with the brickwork. AA respects the completion architec turally of the exterior of the building on its three Oise, I propose that the existing outlines should be pre. served, with such an amount of decoration introduced as may °mamma with the purposes to which the building is to be applied. The matenal to be employed will be Port : Led cement, as it seemed to me to be an un exposes to face the building with stone. wpm= the surrounding maenad and buildings are of tie lees explosive material. These are the more important works contemplated by me ; but there are others of a minor description, which ars fully set forth in the specificities and estimate already presented to the first commissioner. The • estimateel have made of these several worksare the result of aisanuemests in detail, and the value I have put upon each pert will be amply sufficient to cover the cost. The warming and ventilating apparatus is an approximate estimate only but I have • confident belief that the sum I have tasted will be sufficient for the purpose. Pena/ " Hum A. Burr.

At the vestry meeting on Thursday last the rate was refused by a considerable majority. whereupon the acting church warden is a very conciliatory manner =premed hie great unwillingeens to put the pariah to the trouble and annoyance of a poll. and pledged himself that if the °ppm:mote of the rate would refrain from further opposition, no one objecting to the rate should be compelled to pay it. This appeal was cordially supported by the vicar, and eventually it was agreed, on the understanding that the rate, if 111111 k, should be optimal, and that nest }ear an eodeavour should be Maas to raise the necessary funds without having recourse to a rote at all. that po further opposition should be offered. A. pro forma poll was then opened for the purpose of revolt ing Ike decision of the vestry, the opponents of the rate with a few exceptions refraining from voting, is order to allow of the silting of what in all probability will be the last of the church rates at Walthamstow. It re only fair to add that the success of the opposition is mainly due to the able leadership of Ebenezer Clarke, Esq., who at one time stood almost alooe in his resistance to tharete.

On the road leading to Laos dense volume fell, completely cutting up the road, and almost reoderiog it impassable. Strange to say that at Lusa, about six miles detect, only a few slight showers fell, scarcely discolouring the streams in the neighbourhood. Edi Margit Courant. INHUMAN CONDUCT OP A FATHER. shocking Instance of creel parental treatment has just been brought before the Buxton bench of magistrates. A blacksmith named Samuel Vanes. residing at Doveholes, three miles from Buxton, was charged with ill-treating his daughter, a young woman, 22 years of age. Inspector Shaw sta ted that from information received he went to priaooer's house last Thursday. in the front room of which, upstairs (which was is a most filthy state), he found the young woman in a pitiable condition. She was fastened to the bed by a rope, baying her hands also tied together. Rer only attire was a man's shirt, and she presented a very wretched se ller father coming tn. the superintendent ordered gin a :r immediately release her, and having procured a cart, the officer took her to the union workhouse of Chapel-en le Frith. From subsequent information it appears that the poor girl was confined only about a fortnight ego; that she had no medical attendant on the occasion, and since then scarcely the bare necessaries of life, and that her mind had become partly affected. Several witnesses corroborated the fact of her being ill-Seated, and stated that they had fre quently seen Vanes whip his daughter, and that he, in fad, purposely kept a whip to dose ; that on several occasions (the defendant limier locked the outside door) screams were heard by the neighbours, who, on looking through the window, saw him throw several cans of water on the girl, which ran ie a stream outside from under the door. la defence, she prisoner pleaded that his wife was very ill, that he had a large family, and that when he went to his work too was forced to tie Ms daughter up, to keep her out of Meth's! ; that what he dad was for the best, the water having been thrown upon her by the dodoes order. The bench commented severely upon the prisoner's harsh and cruel treatment, and sentenced him to two months' imprisonment OPEL& GLASSIR.—T.

The third annual meeting of this society was held at Willies Rooms yesterday. The Duke of Mau, mamma presided. Mr. D. Boman, one of the hon. secretaries, read the report, which stated that the amount of the grants made to the various districts had been lees than that announced at the manual meeting last year. This fact, which would at twat scarcely seem to aooord with the announced increase of income, WU to be explained partly from the mild cha racter of the weather dunce those months when the poor usually suffered most, and partly from the fact that the society had a smaller balance , by 7091.,. than that with which it commenced its operations in the winter of 1861.82 ; but chiefly from the great increase and opening oat of the local resources of districts, which had in many instances taken place at the instigation, or from the example, of the society. The entire expanses of management, which this year amounted to 273/, were defrayed by the guarantee mm- Edam, and the watacriptioes and donations to the funds were Uwe applied, without any deduction whatever, to the Wild 01 the pout The total donations for the year were 2,0114 ; and the subscriptions, I,MOI. • the grant' to various parishes and distriete being 2,934/. ; and the balance emaideing, 8121. The Bishop of LONDON, in proposing the adoptioe of the report, said be appeared at the meeting in two oarecities, as president of the old society for the relief of distress, and as bishop of the diocese. In both he felt that he was perfectly in plane in coming there to advocate the new society. With the old society, which was established on somewhat different prim:Mks to this, he was d course must intimately con meted, for it was distinctly one of the institutions of the diocese. It acted entirely through the clergy of the diocese, sod called upon them to organise district visiting societies each ie their own meek, which of °our'e necessarily cm. tested of members of the church of England. Now they, the clergy of the church of England, were perfectly aware that there was a large sphere of activity beyond the members of I their own communion in which they were very thankful to take part ; nor did they weeder it to be a doctrine of the cinch or of Chnetimity that they were in any way what waver to neglect the temporal or spiritual interests of those to whom he referred. (Hear, hear.) He therefore thought there was nothing inconsistent in his being presidsut of the old society, and at the same time anxious to see the pew msociatios which did sot cosaiteits operatioes to the church of Englaol, flourish. Nor bad he any fear that the old society would suffer by being drawn off to the new one. It was a curious hut we known fact, that the more we accus tomed people to give, the more ready they ware to give ; ad the greater number of appeals a man mewered, not only did he receive the greater number, bat the greeter Dumber he was waling to admit upon biz list. (Hear. hem) The resolution was seconded by the Feel of atarsorrni, I and carried unanimously. Lord weAwcurn proposed a vote of support to the society, which was seconded by the Hon CHANDOB Luau, and also adopted. A vote of thanks to the almosen and of of the I society, moved by Lord Bowman', seconded by Mr. It. Brasov Law, was thew carried and a inesilar vote to the chairman concluded the promedinp.

DRAMA. MADAME RISTORI AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Schiller's play of Mary Stuart, which was selected by Modems Hattori for her third appearance last night at Her Majesty's Theatre, is lese calculated than either Medea or Elisabetta, Regina d'lngAilterra, for exhibiting her peen- Lir powers. Though more dramatic than the plays of Walleistein or Piocotorniai, which immediately precede it in the chronology of the poet's writings, it most be regarded rather as a dramatic poem than an acting play. The beauty of its long soliloquies and the reverence felt for the poet wherever the German language is spoken render it still • favourite with German actors, but the almost total want of action in Use development of the play is strongly felt when it is promoted to an English audience in the form of an Italian translation. On the whole, Madame Ristori's pre ferment:* of Maria Stuarda cannot be regarded as a grest triumph, The reception accorded her, as compared with her previous performances, seemed somewhat cold, • fact ren dered the more conspicuous from the circumstance of the house being far more wooded than on either of the plc - vious occasions. Madame Ristori may perhaps justly Mgr. bete some portion of the blame of this result to the bed management of her friends in the front of the curtain, who had failed to provide • single copy of the usual book cor taming the text of the play. English audiences generally cannot be expected to be so familiar with Italian as to be a►together independent of this useful aid. THE ALHAMBRA. One of those half-scientific exhibitions which were so popular at this establishment when it was known as the Panopticou, was iotroduced last night, to vary the singing, dancing, and tumbling, and received with an amount of applause which will doubtless encourage the proprietors is their fresh venture. This new attraction is called " The Fairy Fountain," and is announced u the in , 'Faction of Professor Wheeler. The stage is darkened, and fitted up with a purple back-ground, while in the centre, from a crystal basin, springs an ever.varying fountain rf water which at times seems to disappear through the roc[ of the stage. This fountain is so lighted that it assumes all the prismatic odours, appearing at one moment as a food of liquid gold, and at another tinted with the most delicate hues of mauve and purple. The effect of this truly beauti. fel display was greatly heightened by a wellexecnted chorus sung behind the scenes.

THE SOURCE OF THE Nil. CAPTAINS SPIME AND GRANT BEFORE THE ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. Yesterday evening a special meeting of the Royal Geographical Society was held at Burlington-house, to welcome Captains Spoke and Grant on their return from their thende in the interior of Africa, issuing in the dis covery of the true source of the Nile. Nine o'clock was the hoar appointed for the mastics' ; bat when the doors were comeed about eight o'clock, the room, which is very spasious, was in • few minutes densely filled, and the heat arising frees overcrowding was throughout very inconvenient. A pest neenberof ladies were present. The chair was taken at a quartet to nine, instead of nine, as previously arranged, by Sir Roderick Murchison. Captains &sake end Grant had the unmet diffieuity in forcing their way to the platform. Os kaisg meognised they were greeted with hearty and re. iterated thews. They were accompanied by two negro boys whom they bed brought from the interior of Africa, belong ing to a nation from which Captain Spoke said he bad re ceived eminence without which he could never have suc ceeded in hie object. Amongst those present were Sir Leopold iirClintoek, lady Franklin, Sir George Clerk, Sir A. K Waugh, Sir Henry James, Lord A. Churchill, 11. P., Admiral Murray, Admiral Oollineon, the Chevalier Du Prat, Coloael Lynch, Sir W. Veerpe, Air P. Illehelien, Sir T. Pithiest* Lord de Maguire, M. Du Chaffin, Sir E. Peel, MP:rata lit - Manes, M.P., Mr. Layard, LP., Mr. Grapes, M.P., Ald. 13•10O101111, M.P., Colonel Sykes, M.P. Sir Roman= Mumonson, president of the society, in kr troduoing Captains Spoke and Grant, mid—Before I call os Capt. Spoke to read his communication on the Nile I mast ' acquaint my associates with the deep interest which our' patron the Queen and our vioo-patron the Prime of Walla take in this peat dip:every. Whee I meetly waited upon the Queen at the building of the haematite:id Exhibition, sling with other Royal Commissioners, her Majesty was *seed to corerratzdate me most graciously opal this great geographical feat, and I feel certain, from the kind and emphatic manner in which her Majesty expressed herself the first time in which the Queen had appeared after her sad bereavement, that she is truly proud in the reflection that two of her own pliant Indian officers should have succeeded in doing what the people of every European nation have failed to accomplish. Theo, as to our nos. patron, the Prince of Walea, I know that his royal high. rooozho is himself a great traveller, and who loves our would have been here this evening bad sot a very Wind engagement prevented him ; but arrangements have, l I am happy to say, been made by which his royal high. nem will hear, tomorrow night, a lecture from Captain Spoke at the Royal Institution. Whilst our own • royal family recogemes the importance of this great ' I discovery, the King of Deily haa taken the lead ' amongst foreign soveregne in the expression of his desire to commemorate this great discovery, and has directed two gold medals to be struck in honour of our heroes of the Nile. One of them, or that which is destined for the leader, has arrived, and has on it the inscription, " Honor a Nilo." I must here add that the letter of the Italian minister, the Marquis d'Aceglio, which aocompaniea this appropriate is ward, such such an elegant and wont) composition that it is worthy of the country which reared a Columbus. The chairman read a letter from the Marquis d'Azeglio exprees iog the admiration of the King of Italy for the gallant explorers, and 0000luded by saying, As the French Geo graphical Society (like our own society) gave a gold medal to Captain Spoke, for his original diacovery of the great lake, he, in grateful remembrance of that act, named a chan nel at the head of the Victoria Nyanca after the Emperor Napoleon, who will, I doubt not, duly appreciate the honour of having bad his name affixed to such an important feature in the haartof Africa, and by such a distinguished British geographer. I now call on Captain Spoke to read his com. municatioe. Captain Sears then came forward, and after a most enthusiastic reception read a paper on "The Nile sod its Tributaries." After stating that the facts he was about to communicate were the result of two journeys into the inte rior, and intimating that the lake Nyanza was the real source of the Nile, be said—Had I been all aloes on the first expe dition I should have settled the Nile in 1859, by travelling from Unganyambe to Uganda, with an - Indian merchant. Mum Mizuri, who was prepared to go there; but my proposal having been negatived by the chief of the expedition who was sick at the time and tired of tl» journey, I returned to England, aad to my roof ible delight the very fine day that I arrived here I found in Sir Roderick lmpey Murchison a warm advocate and proposer to the Royal Geographical Society to complete what I had begun ; for, as might be imagined, I could not rest satisfied until the world accepted my own views. happily now verified by indisputable means, actual inspection and astrooosnical obiervations, that the Victoria Nyanza is the great reservoir of the Nile. Suffice it now to say, chat after returning to Unyambe (the old point), 5 degrees sou th of the lake, is 1851 I struck upon a new route which I imagined, from the unsophisticated defi nitions of the ivory merchants, would lead me to a creek on the left bank of the Nyanza, situated oa the south frontier of Karagwe. Geographical definitions were here again found wanting, for instead of the creek of the greet lake appearing, a new lake was found, called the Lucre (Lo-of Una* which it appeared fcemerly contained • large quantity of water, but now fast drying up. Its bead lies in Urundi, and circles round the south and east flanks of Kamm., in the form of a mountain valley. It is subsequently drained by the Kitanguls river into the Nyanza, but not in sufficient quantity to make any sensible impression on the perennial contents of the Nyanza's basin. It is to the west and north of Karsgwe that time lake re ceive' its greater terrestrial supplies of water through the medium of the Kitangole river, which, - in addition to the aforesaid Luero, drains off the superfluous waters of many rivers and lakes, a. the Akensara, in Urundi ; the Lothar°, which is the mooed of a chain with Akenzars ; the Ingest, an accumulation lying between Kis hakha and Karagwe • and the little Wiixiennere. which in Kampf e lies below the capital oa its north • west areas?. None of these lakes are lamer than puddles in companion with the Great Victoria Hyaena ,• but still the Kilauea,* river, after receiving all their contributions, is • noble river low sunk like a huge canal, about eighty yards across, with a velocity of about four miles an hour, which appears equal to the Nile itself, when it issues from the lake by the Ripon falls. The question now naturally suggests itself, what forms these lakes—whence originate their waters? It is simply this. The Moun tains of the Moon in which they lie, encircling the northern end of the Tanganiika Lake, a exposed to the influence of the rainy zone, when I oh: served in 1862 no leas than 235 days out of the year wee more or less wet days. Mashoode, in the Adds, portion of the Uganda, is the first place where in the second expeditioo I obtained a view of the Victoria lake, called in this more northern country Luero (White) (Lo-011, Lots (Dead) Nzige (Locust) inconsequence of the reported fact that flights of lo custs, endeavouring to cross these waters. have dropped from fatigue unable to accomplish so extended a journey on the wing, and perishing on the lake have been found dead in dense masses by the boatmen. But like the word Nyasa, it is also applied to the Nile and its tributaries, confounding all inquiry. For instance , the Waganda, who know of the Nile and the little Luto-Nzide a semi lake-river tributary to it, flanking the northern bo undary of Unpin, on being Questioned as to the extent of the dead locusts, say, Uganda, conjoined with Uogoro, is au bleed so that a man may walk for months and never me the end of it." The whole is likewise called Nyanza there, for, as might be expected in countries where no literature is known, and there is no knowledge but what suite the actual requirement; of do mestic life, the people are satisfied with local names. Home there is the greatest difficulty of endeavouring to put toge ther the information, though you can gain more ty quee• hoeing the natives than the Arabs—for whilst the former regard a river as flowing from head to mouth, the Arab invariably says it goes from mouth to head. In a southerly direction the Waganda boatmen go as far as the island Ulcers's, where I saw on my first journey to Muanzarat the southern extremity of the lake, and to the eastward beyond the escape of the Nile to the north-eastern comer of the Victoria lake, where, by a strait., I had gone across to another lake in quest of salt—the Baring* of Dr. Krapf, which, from the information pined through the natives, In called a salt lake, most likely bonanza there were salt bleeds in it, which I deduced from time fact, that op • former omission, when the Arabs first spoke to me of the little Luta Nage, they described it as • salt lake belonging to the great Nyanza, yet not belonging to it, when further pressed on the sub ject, as the great Nyanza's waters were perfectly pure and sweet, the Arabs, like Dr. Krapf, merely narrating what they beard. As salt islands were visited by the natives in consequence of that mineral, the surrounding waters were naturally considered sweet by them, dispossessed as they were of those connecting links which included the whole area of ground under consideration within the limits of the drainage system of the Nile. The Arabs, it Is now very clear, bad beard of everything io con nexion with the Nile, but from not being conversant with the science of physical geography were unable to counect all they had gleaned in detached fragments with it. Dr. Krapf further tells us eta river treoding from the Snow Mountain Komi& towards the Nile. If such is the case, it must be a feeder to the Bering, whose waters pas off by the Anna river IMO the Nile ; for the whole onintry an the eastern side of the Vietoeia Nyana is said by the Arabs who have traversed it for ivory to be covered by low rolling hills, intersected cooly by small streams and mullahs from its southern point in Enanza to the Strait, which is situated on the Equator, the north branch of the Victoria Nyanza. Turning now again to Mashoodor and promeding north aloes the bending coast of the Nyaima, which is situated on the Equator, the lake is constantly in view. The land above the lake is beautiful, eon posed of low sand stooe hills meted down by small streams, th e effect of coo stant rain; greased over by gigantic gram except wherethe [Stamped, id. Additiemi.), numerous vegetable' have supplanted it by oultimike• or in dells where mighty trees, tall and straight as the blue gums of Australia, usurp the right of vegetative. Bat though beautiful, travelling is there no sinecure. The bed of the Nyanza has shrunk from its original dimen sion, as we saw in the case of the Urigi lake, sad the moorlands immediatel y surrounding are covered with • network of large rush drams with boggy bottoms, as much as one to every mile, even counting from the Kitan le, which of Wolf was obviously at one period a mash loner stream than et the present day, when the old bed was on the level of the present surface of the water, and its breadth was double that which now exists. The mountains of the Neon are wearing down, and me is Africa erring over the equator, although the configuration of the lead appeared much the memo, but increased in beauty, the drain age Eyeless was found, the opposite country showing we woe on the Dothan slopes of Africa. One stream, the Nwo. moor, of moderate dimensions, is said to arias in the lake flowing north, and joining the Nile in the kingdom of Unger°, where its sane is changed to Kau. Further a another stream, Luajorri, followed its example ; and then, still further on from the centre of the lake's northern coast issued the parent stream of the Nile, felling over rocks of igneous diameter 12 feet high, wish* all the natives and all the Arabs de signate by the simple name " Stones ; " but which I have done myself the loom to christen " Ripon Falls," after his lordship, who was the president of the Royal phial Society when the expedition was set on foot, amps of the Nyasa' waters, situated 20 miles ninth of the eq ua tor, is thornily one actually ins acted, owing to the harbarous restriction placed on strangers by the . 5 2 , 2 L vp.d., in the supposed misters°. P ..y.. net, as twisire saw the fuse linsi at halt the Y e a l ta km a the Area riven, and crossed the LEtl ii mid way be tween its serape and junction. Now down the Nile, from.the Ripoa Fella, the river bisects the and stone, continued hills which extend into Ueorga, above the coast line of the lake, and rushes down with mountain torrent beauty. Tins, hawing passed these bails of so pest extent, it trended through long 1/114, MOM like a lake than a river, where in Ungar* it wee increased by the cootribetreas of the Rafe sad Luirjerri, and rationed in its Devisable form to the Karuma Falls, in Chopi, when again the land dropping suddenly to the westward, we saw the river rushing on With boisterous liveliness, but could not follow it owing to • war which lay ou the track. It was, indeed, • pitr, for hut 60 miles from where we stopped, by common report, the Little Lots of Nsige, which I had taken so much trouble in tracing down lest:owes from the Lana Yestes,with Remelt islands in it,joined the Nile. The old river was oast met with in the Nadi gauntry, due north of the Kamm Falls, where it still bore the unmistakeable character of the Nile--long fiats, long rapids The soothers half in the Nadi was • flat extending, we believe, to the junction of the Little Lain Norm northern, a rapid extending down to the navigable Nile— that is to say the Nibs which is oarigeble ; its entrance largest during the period of Its flood, and here itis the Anna River, of which you bar bawd, draining from the north-neat corner of tho Victoria Lake jam on—ia the rainy Name an important feeder, but when low ford able. The rest of the Nile, considering it is navigated yearly, ought to be well known ; but it is not so, as no one bee yet taken the trouble to place nilonseters in the various brunches, by which we migbt know Use perm alai amount of water drained by each in every year, and for want of which, it appears to me, who have soon them all In the dry season the best time for judging their mire degrees and magnitude--gnat misconceptions have taken place. To these benches, then, more particu larly. I would draw attention, noticing only that the Nile— White River as it is called—in in southern bearings carries the pelm with it in all instanced of its branching, though this has been so °flea denied, especially at the junction of the Blue River. The lint great affluent, which is indeed the only one worthy of remark, on the left of the Nile, is the Blur el Gaol. It loins on with the appearance of • diminutive lake at • sharp elbow of the Nile, without any visible stream of its own, whilst the great river winds round with considerable velocity, carrying, as I have aid, the palm with it. The second affludat in order of position, which with all the others is se the right of the Nile, is the Gents river, swirling with considerable stream and graceful bend into the permit NI.. Its magnitude and general are like that of a first-class canal. inferior toile a l&t= e rirer, though not much so, and may equal in quan tity of flood one third of the Nile at its past of junction. It is navigable to a great distance south, but where it comes from so an knows. It cannot be • mountain river, as we find it full with meets floating on its surface, so in the Nile, evidently showing that both trunk and branch are subjected to the same effects of sleggelb Saes and rapids. Indeed its cbaracter suggests the pos sibility of its emanating from the Victoria Nyanza, and most likely it is fad to • considerable extent by minor branches from the rest eastern mountain chain. The third advent is the Southern Sobat river, also full and navigable. In breadth it is plater than a. Goats, but lees in rapidity : so that in their pereunial contents they are much the same. Unfortunately the Northern Sobat was passed without our knowledge, which being also navigable would obviously make the Upper Sobat— that is to may, the Sobs& above the Delta—of far greater magnitude than the Gera& ; unless. indeed, the three riven be one river still further south, when in combi astir, the commensal would have to be drawn with the Nile alone, which, doubtless, it would very nearly equal ; for the Nile, with its additions, has certainly doubled its importance considered as it win soon above entering the Bahr-el-Gbazar. The Blue River, so long assumed to be Me Nile. oily because its pe rennial powers were never tested, appears, as it is, a moun tain stream emanating in • country between the rainy WOO, but, subjected to the influence of tropical raise anddrotights, at one time full and mighty, sad at another so shallow thin it is fordable. The supposition ' therefore, that it was the Nile roust of itself appear absu rd, for its waters, unas sisted during the droughty season, would have been ab sorbed long before they reached the sea ; but apart from this, at the mouth of the Blue River the Nile runs a sluice in its wonted course, whilst the Blue, conforming with the Gera& and Sobat, blends on with it, describing a graceful sweep. The Albers, which is the last, is in all re spects like the Blue, only smaller. With one more remark I will conclude. In the heat of the dry season the White above the Blue is freely navigated, owing to the great as amino of the Carats and Sobat Rivets ; but below the Blue and Albers the sea-sand banks obstruct free passage.
