MEMOIRS AND CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MARQUIS WELLESLEY. By Robert Rouiere Pearce, Esq. 3 Vole. These memoirs, though not arranged in the best manner, nor distinguished by much ability in writing, are, however, of great value, as they embody the prin cipal events in the life of a most distinguished statesman, and furnish many useful letters and documents necessary to form a just estimate of the vast services which the Marquis Wellesley rendered to his country. With the exception of his illustrious brother and the immortal Nelson, it would be difficult to find any one who did so much to raise the character of England, or who achieved such important victories. Mr. Pearce begins from the beginning, and gives ample details of the Wellesley family, its antiquity, and even royal descent, for he traces it to one of the Kings of Ireland, the character of the first Earl of Mornington, father of the Marquis, his groat love for music, and many other circumstances, with which the curiosity of the reader will be much gra tified. Till we read these volumes, we were not aware that the family name was so lately changed as during the administration of Lord Mornington in India, and that when the Duke went out to that part of the world, he was called the Hon. Arthur Wesley. The follow ing brief but interesting letter places the matter beyond doubt, and it is curious to observe that the qualities for which Wellington has been distinguished through his long career, attracted so early the attention of the Mar quis Cornwallis. It is a simple letter of introduction from a former Governor-General of India to Sir John Shore, who preceded the Earl of Mornington in that high station : " Dear Sir—l beg leave to introduce to you Colo nel Wesley, who is Lieut.-Colonel of my regiment ; he is a sensible man and a good officer, and will, I have no doubt, conduct himself in a manner to merit your approbation.—l am, &c.,—CORNIVALLIS." It thus appears that Col. Wesley left for India a consi derable time before the Marquis was appointed Gover nor-General. These memoirs embrace the public life of the Marquis from his first appearance in the Irish House of Lords till his appointment as Lord-Lieutenant of his native country ; but by far the most important part of it relates to his Government in India. At the period of his appointment, the year 1797, the British pos sessions in India were in a most defenceless, and conse quently, dangerous condition. French influence was all powerful at several of the courts of the native princes, and espeeially at Hyderabad and Nizam, as well as throughout the greater part of the Mahratta territory. Tippoo Saib was plotting against England—lie was in constant correspondence with French agents, and even the Government at Paris—he was enlisting French troops into his service, and the Marquis Wellesley (then Lord Mornington) had every reason to believe that is a very short period after his arrival, India would be invaded by a French army, His Lordship, with the usual decision of his family, resolved at onco to defeat a project which involved the fate oflndia ; and India, owing to the parsimonious system lately adopted, was but little fitted for a contest with Tippoo Seib and the other discon tented nabobs, aided by French reinforcements. Welles ley, however,would see no difficulties; he resolved to rouse the sleepy officials appointed by the India House, and announced that nothing short of depriving Tippoo Saib of the power of doing mischief could afford the British Government security against his de signs, as well as those of the French Directory. When the fact was made known to General Harris, then Governor of Madras, it created the utmost con sternation. The bare idea of the renewal of war with Tippoo filled the members of that Government with ap prehensions, and several of them protested in the strongest terms against the proposition to assemble an army on the coast of Coromandel; even the Commander in -Chief, Lord Harris, shrunk at first sight from the enterprise, but, like a good soldier, answered—" On my part, your Lordship may depend on my following your instructions implicitly." Remonstrances, however, were still urged by the timid ; and difficulties for money, and men, and everything, were pointed out ; but the noble Governor-General could see no " lion in the way;" ho saw that victory was within his reach, that the strength of England was equal to the task, and notwithstanding Tippoo's 700 elephants, 6,000 camels, 300,000 fire-locks, 200,000 swords, 2,000 pieces of cannon, and a regular away of 100,000 men, with 40,000 irregular infantry, he resolved to lose not a moment in bringing the affair to an issue. With that view, he began with Nizam ; induced the ruler of that territory to admit, in place of 2,000, 6,000 subsidiary British troops into his pay, and compelled him, by great tact and daring, to disband the whole French corps as soon as the British troops should arrive. Eleven thousand men laid down their arms on promise of pay and future employment, and the French officers com manding thew were delivered up to the British com mander, who sent them, with all their property and arrears of pay, to France. The result of this great negotiation raised the spirits of the officials at Madras; Marquis Wellesley began to be regarded as a man of some ability, and its effects were visible on the rulers of the neighbouring states. Tippoo, however, still held out, and endeavoured, by deceit and lying, to protract the contest till he could be assured of speedy assistance from France. That the Governor-General was determined to anti cipate, and he accordingly gave directions to General Harris to put his army in motion and pursue Tippoo Sultan to his last retreat. In the short space of two morths the war was brought to a close, and a kingdom yielding an annual revenue of more than a million sterling was transferred in full sovereignty to the East India Company. In nearly all his other measures for the better government of India, the Marquis was equally successful, yet the directors and he never acted cor dially together. He had reason also to complain of want of support from the Board of Control, at the head of which was Henry Dundas, afterwards Lord Melville. In a letter to Lord Castlereagh, dated 1805, he states the difficulties he had to contend with in these words:— " The motives of the conduct of my personal enemies at the India-house are sufficiently evident; and my expecta tions from that quarter are rather disappointed by any transient and momentary gleam of justice and reason, which may acideutally appear in the general tumult of personal pre judice and vindictive fury. But from your Lordship I con fidently expect more comprehensive views of policy and early jnstice. Perhaps my long habits of familiar acquaintance with the affairs of this country may render objects clear and distinct to my comprehension, which may require explana tion and illustration for the information •f others. My situation, however, is, under such circumstances, become most painful, and indeed dangerous—exposed to the most severe responsibility and pressed by the constant and urgent necessity of acting for the security of this vast empire, upon the view of local exigencies, with limited means of exertion, with a certainty of the most indefatigable counteraction from the India-house, and with a doubt of timely, effectual, or direct support from the Crown." In adverting to the conduct of the directors he uses different language, and his provocation must have been great, for with this exception he speaks mildly, and generally favourably of almost every person about whom he writes. He appears to have been a man of a most amiable disposition, with a mind totally inaccessible to envy, jealousy, or personal hatred. The following extracts, however, will show that he could resent perse cution, and also that he preferred the interests of his country to the favour of the Lords of Leadenh all-street : " TO LORD VISCOUNT CASTLERF.AGIL " ' Fort William, 18t March, 1804. " ' My dear Lord,— " I request your Lordship to be assured of the deep sense which I entertain of your honourable conduct towards me. It is unnecessary to repeat to your Lordship my utter con temp,t of any opinions which may be entertained by Mr. • and the Court of Directors, or to apprise you that I a.xpect every practicable degree of injustice and base ness frcra; that faction.—l have the honour to be, &c., "' WELLESLEY.' "Lord 'Wellesley speaks in a still higher strain of asperity and anger in fi subsequent part of the same letter (19th of June, 1804):-- '‘ 'Your Lordship may be assured that I entertain a just sense of the sentiments of public and private honour from which your conduct towards; me has proceeded; and that I rely with the most entire confidence upon your Lordship's justice and public spirit to frustrate the vindictive profligacy of the Court of Directors, and to expose to the view of my Sovereign and my country, in the most distinct and per spicuous manner, the motives, principles, conduct, and re sult, of every branch oit' :my administration in India. My sincere and anxious hol to is, that every point of difference between me and the Cc Curt of Directors may be fully ex plained to Parliament ; and to the public. Nor can your Lordship and Mr. Add tington, by any act of friendship, afford me a protection so grateful to my feelings, or so ad vantageous to my char& tter, as by a full disclosure to Par liament of every act or my administration, and of every proceeding of the Court. of Directors, since I have had the - misfortune to be subjecto . d to the ignominious tyranny of I.eadenhall-street. lam induced to hope that I shall be en abled to relinquish the %service of my honourable employers in the month of January or February next. Your Lordship, I however, may be assured, that as no symptoms of tardy re znorse displayed by the ) , lonourable Court, in consequence of ,my recent success in Ind] a, will vary my present estimation of the faith and honour of my very worthy and approved good masters, or protract my continuance in India for one hour beyond the limits p rescribed by the public interests, so n o additional outrage , i nj ur y , or insult, which can issue from the most loathsome den of the India-house, will accelerate nay departure, while the public safety shall appear to require pay aid in this arduous station.'" The rest of the work is occupied chiefly with details On the assistance which the Marquis in Parliament gave 'to his brother while commanding in the Peninsula, his a d a inistration of Ireland, and a brief account of his latt4 ‘r days. • superstition; and, without any arrogant:boasting, we may indeed regard the deeds accomplished in our own genera tion as a great and almost incontrovertible argument in favour of the ultimate perfectability of mankind ; —this of course always premising, that there be no vast and un foreseen recoil, either moral or natural. A portrait of Sir John F. W. Herschcll is the frontispiece, and a sketch of Mount Hecla forms an appropriate vignette— that gigantic volcano having been in a state of eruption during September and October last. There is not one single page in the " Year Book of Facts" but what con veys some kind of useful or singular information to the mind; in addition to which the style in which it is em bodied is at once popular and concise. Per se the volume is of much value; in connexion with the more vo luminous works of a !scientific character, published during the past twelve months, the present will prove most admirable as a text-book. - - COUNT JULIAN; a Romance of Spanish History By W. Gilmore Simms. The author of this fiction has been already introduced to the novel readers of Great Britain, through reprints of some of his most successful productions. Among these, " The Yemassee," " The Kinsmen," &c., identified him as not the least gifted of American novelists, while they tended much to extend his popularity. In the pre sent work, " Count Julian," the spirited proprietor of the Novel Newspaper, brings an original, that is to say, a hitherto unpublished romance, from the pen of Mr. Simms, into his clever serial, of which it forms Part LXXXI. As to giving a summary of the plot, or even a mention of the catastrophe—we consider such a course as the most ungrateful one a reviewer can adopt, destroying as it does the main allurement of the work under consideration—namely, its interest. We shall therefore content ourselves with saying that " Count Julian" is a somewhat fascinating, but also a somewhat cumbrous story. A few actual occurrences form its skeleton—imagination does the rest ; and this fact is throughout too perceptible. The incidents are visionary —singularly visionary. Some of the characters are too repulsive— tinctured with a Sue-like villainy that de stroys their probability : of this cast is the Archbishop Oppas, the like of whom never existed except in a morbid fancy like that of Mr. Simms. We may par ticularize the description of the battle-scene as the most powerfully wrought in the volume. The dust, and the blood, and the yells, and the steam of the conflict envelope the reader during its perusal. There are glimpses, too —dainty ones and delicate—of the greenwood, with its surging tree-tops and Os solemn army of grey trunks and trailing boughs. Nor is there a lack of love passages, of trysts, and troth and plighted hearts ; the belle passionne in the hands of Mr. Simms resembling in some measure the golden key :of the Calendar in the Arabian story—leading on to many episodes of other and darker passions—revenge, and hatred, and envy, and scorn, and malice. The text upon which the entire fiction is fabricated is the " glorious fault," ambition. As another illustration of that so-called crime, " Count Julian" has an almost perplexing interest.

In this case Mr. Sergeant Shoe anu Mr. Pearson ap peared on behalf of the plantiff, and the Solicitor- Ger eral and several others counsel for the Bank of England. The allegation of the plaintiff was, that she held certain stock in the Bank of England, on which she had received various dividends from time to time, or rather that her husband, who died in 1838, bad received them, and that she subsequently had received dividends in the years 1839, 1840, and 1841; but that when she applied, after the latter period, to sell out her stock, she was told that her stock had been sold out in January, 1839. This she positively denied, and therefore took an action for the recovery of 373/. 195., as the amount which she alleged still remained in the hands of the Bank belonging to her. She also alleged that she applied for an in spection of the books of the Bank, but was refused. The Sommost GENERAL, on behalf of the defendants, said he would prove by competent witnesses that on the 23d January, 1839, the plaintiff had sold out her stock, and that her account was closed then, and that therefore she had misinstructed her counsel. The plaintiff sued in forma pauperis, and therefore would incur no expense if the action went against her. She complained of having been refused access to certain books ; but that was done in order to - prevent fraud, and was the practice of the Bank ; but all the books to which it was neces sary she should have access were offered her. A question of identity might arise ; but it would almost be impossible for clerks to identify all the parties who transfer stock, for the number was enormous during the year—there were nearly 300,000 stock-holders, and millions were transferred every year ; and therefore a mark of identity was put in the book and on the warrant at the time of transfer. That warrant would be pro- duced, and so would Mr. Oxley, who had identified the plaintiff. He had been dismissed from the Bank, but not owing to this transaction. He (the Salicitor- General) would now proceed to call his witnesses. The first witness called was Mr. G. F. Clerk, sworn—l am the principal clerk in the New Three and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities office. Pro duces a copy of the late Samuel Foster's account, and a copy of the transfer of stock in 1838 to his wife, and William Oxley was the person who identified the par ties ; Mr. Oxley had up to that time been a clerk in the office for 37 years ; he was dismissed in June, IP4I. Produces the book, showinn , the sales of stock in January, 1339, to plaintiff,' and witnessed by Oxley. Upon that occasion a lady came to me, who stated she was Mrs. Foster, and that Mr. Oxley had sold her stock and paid her a greater amount of interest than the Bank paid, but that she had lost all her money; she made the same statement to the chief accountant, and appeared to be in great distress. Cross-examined—Mr. Oxley had access to all the transfer books, and he could show other books like the transfer books, if he chose, to an illiterate person, like the plaintiff; he was dismissed for having absented him self. I have understood that his accounts with other parties were not found to be correct. Re-examined—There are two witnesses to the plain tiff's signature to the transfer, which is the:practice when the signature is a mark. _ _ Mr. Ripon, one of the witnesses, corroborated the above. In July, 1841, the plaintiff came to the Bank and said Mr. Oxley had sold her stock. Cross-examined—Could not say that the party who came in 1841, and who signed the book in 1839, were the same party. Re-examined—The numbers who come to transfer is ♦ery great. Mr. Durat—Was present at the transfer and wit nessed it ; does not know the plaintiff personally. Mr. Oxley, examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I was 37 years a clerk in tke Bank of England. I knew plaintiff's husband two or three years, and herself also for fire or six years ; she attended on my mother. I remember Mr. Foster's death, it took place in July, 1838. Plaintiff took out administration. De ceased was possessed of stock in the Bank at the time of his death. Plaintiff sold 100/. of the stock to pay the expense of the administration. I identified her on that occasion. I also identified her upon other occa sions of transfer of two sums of 201. each, and of the 2001. to herself. She afterwards applied for the balance of 1151., and it was transferred, and I identified them. In about two months after she came to me and brought me between 30/. and 60/., with which I purchased stock for her. She complained of the low rate of interest she was receiving, and I said I could procure her higher in terest. She came on the 13th January, 1839, to me to the Bank, for the purpose of selling out her stock, and the transfer book now before me was placed before her, and she put her mark upon it, and' Hannah Foster " was written across it by another clerk, and:l identified her. A person named 111'Neill, a stockjobber, was the party who purchased upon that occasion. DPNeill paid the money. After this I paid the plaintiff 101. interest half yearly. I made her four suoh payments up to January, 1841. I left the Bank in June, 1841. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant SnEE—I am not aware that she was an illiterate petfon. I believe she could read. I withdrew from the Bank in 1841, and went to Canada. I went without informing the Bank. I lived at Chelsea before I went to Canada, with my wife and children, and I left them there. You may call it ab sconding if you please. I left because I was in embar rassed circumstances. A Mrs. Hanby had an:account at the Bank. She had 7001. stock, and I got it. I did not pay it to her. I did not attest her identity, but my broker did it. Did he know her by any other way than by your telling him ?—I don't know. I gave her no security for her money. How long was that before you absconded ?—About four or five years. I gave Mrs. Foster no security, nor did I tell her how it was to be invested. The transaction took place at her own apartments, and there was no person present- Well if you will have it, I told her I would procure her that interest for her. It was under stood between us that her money would be secure. I was insolvent at that time. I did not owe more than about 2,0001. at the time.—(Laughter.) When I paid the plaintiff the interest I used to make her put a mark in a small book. She did this four times before I ab sconded. Ro-examined—A person receiving a dividend signs a book aad a warrant. To the COURT—I returned from Canada in 1842. To Mr. Sergeant SLIEE—I have not been to see Mrs. Foster since. Mr. Smee—l am chief accountant in the Bank of England. I recollect Mrs. Foster coming to my office and stating that she had lost all her stock. I found that her stock had been properly transferred, and told her that the Bank could afford her no relief. I do not re collect anything of a memorial. Cross-examined—l don't recollect that I said I could not show the books unless the Bank got a release. I don't recollect that the gentleman now pointed out to mo in Court called upon me for that purpose. I don't re collect an attorney applying to me for the purpose. You don't recollect anything ? I don't.—(Laughter.) Do you recollect Mr. Oxley?—l do.—(Laughter.) I never saw him since his return from Canada until this day. Mr. Bockett, clerk in the Bank, paid the dividend to the party whose name appeared on the warrant. ilerethecaa s ee n lo n szd Mr. Sergeant having ques tionplied, lay in a very narrow compass.o and said the His Loansuir briefly summ r e e d the satisfaction mantioonfwtahs, whether it had been proved to jury that the plaintiff had transferred her stock, and that e she was aware of it ? No doubt the jury should' regard the evidence of the witness Oxley with great suspicion ; but they should also consider whether they had evidence sufficient without that of Oxley to convince them that this transfer had been made. And here he should ob serve that it would be just as well for the Bank, in all such transactions, to afford the fullest information pos sible to all parties making such applications. The jury retired, and in about half an hour returned into Court with a verdict for the defendant. NIBB V. HERBERT. This was an action for the recovery of 2061„ duo by a promissory note.

THE YEAR BOOK OF FACTS. 1846. I I n an age so remarkable and prolific in discoveries and irsvention, there existed a necessity for some annual digest; of those discoveries and those inventions which b a d p timed successfully through the ordeal of the closest .xami nation. This little volume is the very precise thing requisite ; and its editor, tutored in the rather difficult olhca ho had to fill 11 some years' experience, has core, Riled the " Book of I acts" for IEI6 with more than use 2al sagacity. Formerly the curious among readers were feasted with the idle marvels of black magic, r act chiromancy, and diablerie, and astrology, and dem analogy, and the like superstitions phantasies ; now, ho , vever, they are treated in a manner singularly different.. Prodigies in natural philosophy and the in scrutabl m ysteries of science are unfolded to them in a guise V ie :most startling, and yet the most seductive ; and in ;,his way the wcaders of mere fact are infinitely more r j etoni l shing than the vagaries of fancy.

The Ticket Act has become, in the opinion of both manufacturers and workmen, a dead letter. The silk glove trade has felt the approach of spring, and in some quarters there is a want of hands , . The bobbin net trade, on the contrary, though we are nearly (in w hat was formerly) the busy month of March, is, if anything, worse and more stagnant than ever. —Nottingham Review.

TUE COUNTESS OF LUXBOURG.-A few months ago, Count Leon, the reputed son of Napoleon by the Countess of Luxbokrg, brought an action against that lady for an an nual provision, and ehe and her present husband, after setting up as a defence, that the Count was not the son of the Countess, were con demned to pay him 6,000 f. a year, the Court having judged that the documents produced by the Count established the fact of his being the son of the Countess. Notice of appeal against this decision was immediately given, but it has not yet been heard. The Count had also brought an action against the same parties, claiming the right to an inscription on the Grand Livre of 22,000 f. a year settled upon the Countess when he was only two years of age, and which he declares was intended to be kis property as capital, although the Countess was to enjoy the income dnring his minority. In this suit he was defeated, and gave notice of appeal, which was heard on Monday by the Cour Royale. The defence set up was, that when tho 22,000 f. a year were settled upon the Countess, the illustrious person who had caused it to be made intended it solely for her use, having re solved to provide otherwise for his son, to whom he gave property when he came of age, !reducing 36,000 f. a year, which he had since dissipated ; and also left him by will a portion of a sum of four mil lions of francs, which fact, although the intentions of the testator had not been - ireallsed, the amount in question, consisting of claims Which could not be enforced, proved that the Count was regarded as well provided for, without reference to the amount given to the Countess de Luabourg. The Court decided according to this view of the case, and confirmed the sentence of the lower tribunal. Count Leon was tn. Court, and, front his striking resemblance to the late Emperor, attracted universal notice.—Ga/ignani.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there were six public sales of Bengal Sugar, comprising 6,093 bags of the white descrip tions of, which the principal part conaisisted, only in part sold, and the rates taken were in some cases rather undo - those previously quoted, but the brown and yellow all found buyers at full prices. PoneiGN.—Since our last report none has been submitted I to public competition, although some parcels of Brazil and Havannah have arrived. Holders decidedly have more con - iidence, and prices being moderate a material increase in the demand, it is expected, will shortly take place. COFFEE.—To-day there was little desire shown to operate in Mocha Coffee, and 530 bales at auction were only in part sold at rather lower rates, COCOA.—British Plantation has been purchased with more freedom this week. but holders have been compelled to ac cept previous reduced rates. TEA.—Although the consumption continues satisfactory„ still an improvement has taken place in the value of black or green Tea; which is to be principally attributed to the large stock at this port. Srices.—This afternoon Black Pepper was more sought after, and 300 bags of Sumatra at auction were sold at full rates. 36 bags of Nutmegs in the shell wire taken in at is 3d for bold.

Rica.—Holders of Bengal have been unable to obtain better prices, although the supply at market is small ; there . has, however, been a good business transacted privately. SALTPETRE.—Rough is still attracting attention, and by private treaty several parcels of Calcutta have been disposed of at stiffer rates. TALLOW.—This afternoon at public sale 660 casks of New South Wales Tallow were offered, and chiefly sold, but at rather lower rates. C?lr-s.—This afternoon the market was abundantly supplied with Southern rates of hernOil, the quantity brought to public sal, amounting to 250 tun s s s ; w th i e os c p hi e e r f t p n a n rt . sold, but at a decline; onprevi VEGETATION AND ZOOLOGY or THE OREGON.

At As toria, near the mouth of the Columbia, there are dense growths of forest trees, which attain to an enormous size; a fir measured 46 feet in circumferenc e at lo feet from the earth: the length of its trunk beforo giving` off a branch was 153, and its whole length not less there, 300 feet. Another tree of the same species, on thki• banks of the Unquam river, is 57 feet in girth of trunk, and 216 feet in length below its branches. Prime sound' pines from 200 to 280 feet in height, and from 20 to 40-. feet in circumference, are by no means uncommon. The woods which principally flourish are black ash t hazel, dogwood, c h erry , ma p e l, sycamor e, fir, white and, red cedar, cotton wood, white and swamp oak, willows, walnuts, and an unudergrowth of aromatic shrubs.' creepers, and clambering vines, with all the varieties of berries, goose, straw, whortle, black, with cranberries; raspberries, and currants. These forests are not with-- out their large proportion of wild game, with which the country sufficiently aboundv-stags, deer, bears, blacti.. and grizzly, ashata, foxes, wolves, racoons, rabbit?, beavers, sea and river otters, musk rats, &c. A fewk panthers still prowl about, and the beautiful antelope ranges over the hills. " All the attitudes and move ments of this graceful animal," says Mr. Irving, "are graceful and picturesque, and it is altogether as fit a sub- ject for the fanciful uses of the poet as the oft-suns gazelle of the East." In the middle section of Oregon' the buffalo is found. Of the feathered tribe, the tenants of theso regions, aro the swan, wild goose, and brant, duck, pelican, heron, and gull, snipe, curlew, vulture, crow, raven, magpie, woodpecker, pigeon, partridge, pheasant, grouse, and singing birds without number. There are few reptiles of any description. The rivers abound with fish, if we may rely on the accounts given by tho " member of the Oregon legislature." The fisheries of the country are very great, and foremost, amongst all the varieties which they produce is the un rivalled salmon. It would be impossible to estimate the numbers of this excellent fish annually taken in the Co lumbia and its tributaries, but they have been set down at 10,000 barrels a year, which number I do not think by any means too large. All the salmon caught here are taken by the Indians, and sold to the whites at about ten cents eac,h and frequently less. One Indian will take about twenty on an average per day. There are several other kinds of fish in the bays, rivers, anti creeks of the territory, of which a species of cod and the sturgeon are the most important. The latter are large fish, and afford great sport in a leisure hour to take them with the hook and line. Of shell-fish we have the crab, clams, mussels, and a small description of. oyster, In regard to the products of the field, the agri cultural parts of Oregon, or those of the first section, yield wheat, it is said, from twenty to forty bushels to the acre, and that of superior quality. Indian corn and sweet potatoes do not thrive. Oats, peas, tomatoes, gar den vegetables, Irish potatoes, and turnips, have suc ceeded to advantage. Apples, peechos, cheerier, plums, pears, melons, &c., may be yielded. An abundant growth of grass favours the raising of cattle; the wap• patoo, a peculiar root growing there, being profitable for fattening hoge.—Survey of the Oregon Territory. THE FATE OF MUNGO PARK. At the Geographical Society's meeting, London, last week, a letter from Mr. Duncan was read, dated Cape Coast, Oct. 4, 1845. Mr. Duncan states, that though the King of Ashantee had refused him permission to pass through his dominions, lie had been enabled to penetrate into the interior by another route. Being at Whyddah he had ingratiate(t, himself into the favour o f S en h or D on F ranc i sco d e S uza , a Portuguese slave-dealer, who had been established there be tween 40 and 50 years, and whose influence with the King of Dahomey was paramount. This gentleman obtained foe Mr. Duncan an invitation from the King to visit him, and a promise of his protection. lie accordingly prepared suitable presents for the King and his cabareers, and started on the 6th June. Having arrived on the 10th, he presented himself to the King in his Life Guard uniform, and was most graci-, ously received. At the King's desire he went through the sword exercise at gallop, which greatly atonislied and interested the monarch, who in return, next day, showed him a review of 6,000 female troops, whose arms, accoutre ments, and performance, the traveller says, were truly surprising. Mr. Duncan remained at Abomey, the capital of Dahomey, until the 17th, when the King, having had the road cleared for him for more than a hundred miles, gave him an escort of a hundred men, and permission to travel over any part of his dominions he pleased. Every where the traveller found provisions in abundance, all ready provided for him, and ready cooked. Mr. • Duncan having been informed of the existence, in the interior, of persons who could give him information respecting Mungo Park, proceeded to a large town, named Adofoodia. in thirteen degrees six minutes north, and one degree three minutes east. Here was a large market, with articjes from the Mediterranean, and others from Bornon. At this place he found a fine-looking Bornouese, who spoke Spaniqb t ' and who told him he had been twenty-one years a slave ht.. Bahia, to the firm of Busby and Johnson, of Liverpool. Ile , also met a Tripoli merchant he had seen at Eggs, when oik the Niger expedition. Amali Fatuma was, it appears, the/ principal cause of Park's death. Having complained to the, King or chief of Yaouri that Park had discharged him with out paying him his full wages, Park was interrogated upon' ) the subject, and, of course, indignantly denied the charge: . whereupon an attempt was made to detain the cano e s which was at the time moored to the bank with a piece of rope. Park, said Mr. Duncan's informant , cut off they hand of one of the people attempting to detain the canoes thiswasthe. Thecomme old priest,ncemento ras fthe Te atfr s a o y w w h e ic e, h a en fu ele r d th ig, Park's death states that, about four years ago, a white man from Con . stantinople came in search of Park's papers; that he, the. priest, saw the person purchase, at a high price, a long tint tube, with large sheets of paper in it; b T utth b a o t ok afte r t purchase, the King declared the price too little, and made a.:t fresh demand upon the apoor very s m re e o rnc long were tneirt.mec carried Trihedis to priest Bgescrouti ad: been pears, were distributed into different hand s ; many were s lcunecranw, s ;y it whd was s inone o league times ts obl t i o g r b u w p hen a r n e dteh more o e ld yth as remained twenty t a b r u et c u too rn ,. whichHe rece, h i e ii ac d e lPul o ecreiabt ex ge m edaschnaontsolaarrt fo geas r g A oo d d o s f , oodia, and famed only as a, gr in consequence of th e fa ill« ties for transport afforded by thirt -six tributary strearisq, wAhdoicfhoodeniater3stihn D ig e ' d yira o gu nt t e of Timbuctoo.
