HOUSE OF COMMONS—FranAy. Mr. BROTHERTON gave notice'that, on Thursday next, he would move that henceforth no opposed motion should be brought forward after twelve o'clock, unless there should be 100 members in the house. In reply to a question from Mr. O'Connell, Sir R. PEEL said that the question which had arisen as to the illegality of marriages which had been celebrated by Presbyterian clergymen between Protestants and Presbyte rians had been under the consideration of the government, and it was felt that an immediate remedy was requisite for the immediate evil. A permanent law respecting such marriages would require much consideration ; and it was resolved, therefore, to bring in a bill immediately to legalise such mar riages as had hitherto taken place; and at as early a period as possible afterwards, a bill respecting such marriages in fu merce with all parts of the I " Mr. CURTIS gave notice that on Thursday next be should put a question to the Secretary to the Admiralty relative to the case of Mr. Elton, a midshipman, who had been recently tried by court-martial. If the answer should not be satisfac tory he should then move an address to her majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to remit the sentence passed on Mr. Elton. In reply to a question from Sir John Easthope, Sir R. PEEL said it was not iu the contemplation of the Government to bring in a bill relating to church-rates. Mr. DUNCOMBE asked if it was the intention of the right hon. baronet to bring in a bill to put an end to the whole sale system of bribery to which he believed a vast majority of that house owed their seats. (A laugh.) He had inquired of the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) if he intended to renew his bill of last session on the subject, and understanding that it was not his intention to do so, he wished to ascertain if it was taken up by the Government. Sir R. PEEL said he was surprised to bear that the noble lord had abandoned his bill. It was not the intention of the Government to take this matter up at present. Indeed he felt strongly that, while such important commercial and financial subjects had to be discussed, it would not be well to distract the attention of parliament by bringing less import ant matters under its consideration. (Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. BARONET then said, in reply to a ques tion from Lord John Russell, that he would fully state his proposition respecting the corn-laws on Wednesday next, on which day, as far as he himself was concerned, he was fully prepared to enter upon the discussion ; this, however, might be very inconvenient to others, and if it would better suit the convenience of the members, he would fix the discussion for the Friday or Monday ensuing. It was arranged that the discussion should take place on the Monday. _ _ When LOrd MARCH brought up the report on the address, Mr. O'Connell took occasion to express his alarm at the allusion in the speech to a new system of registration for Ire land, but in all other respects he concurred in the address. The learned gentleman wore his chain of office as Lord Mayor of Dublin. On the motion of Sir H. PEEL a motion of congratulation, to Prince Albert on the birth of a Prince of Wales was agreed Lord STANLEY then moved for leave to bring in two bills, one to amend the act 5 and 6 William IV. for regulating the carriage of passengers in merchant vessels, the other for re gulating the survey and sales of land belonging to the Crown in the Australian colonies and New Zealand. The noble lord said that although there was no colour for the reports which had been in circulation as to its being the intention of the Government to propose an extensive system of emigra tion, yet he had felt it to be his duty to direct his attention to two points respecting emigrants—one to make provision for the security of poorer emigrants against the frauds con stantly practised upon them, the other to remedy the incon venience to capitalist emigrants arising from the constant fluctuation of the system of the sale of lands. The noble lord then entered into various details to show the growing ith portance of these colonies, and the increase of voluntary emi gration to them ; from which it appeared that the number of emigrants in 1838 was from 75,000 to 80,000, while in the first three quarters of 1841 the number reached 106,460. To force emigration beyond this point, he thought would be im- politic, and he thought it would be only advisable to adopt measures to protect the poorer class of emigrants. He should propose some alterations in the existing law, to the extent of providing a larger space for passengers in vessels going to tropical seas, and a larger quantity of water and of provisions than such vessels were now compelled to provide. With re spect to the sale of lands, he confined his bill to the Austra . Tian colonies, because there the Government bad a freer com mand over the land fund than they had in others. Hereto fore the systems under which lands were sold varied from year to year, which gave rise to great disappointments to persons who went out under one set of regulations and found another in operation on their arrival. He proposed to apply the same system to the whole of the Australian colonies by act of Parliament. He proposed that a certain quantity of land should be submitted to auction every six months at an upset price, below which none should be sold; if any remained unsold, it might be sold at the upset price at any time prior to the ensuing auction. The governor was to have a discietionary power of raising the upset price, but neither he nor her Majesty in Council were to have the power of lowering it; that could only be done by act of Parliament. Many hon. gentlemen thought the land fund should be made applicable to emigration, but he could not go that_length, It was requisite that 4 .. pproop . of it -alrenid lit ,. applied to`defraji di 'surveying ; and the rights of humanity called for a-further sum towards a provision of some kind• fOr the aborigines. lie therefore proposed that one-half of the land fund should be devoted to the purposes of emigration, and as much more as the competent authorities might deem expedient, subject to cer tain specified conditions. He would not then enter into the details further, but had tombserve that the act was confined to the life time of her Majesty, for the present. Sovereign had not the power of disposing of the property of her suc cessors. Lord J. RUSSELL was happy to be able to concur in all the general principles of the measures proposed. The fact that in such a short space of time 106,000 persons had vo luntarily emigrated to Australia, was a clear proof that an extensive system of emigration under the auspices of Govern- went was quite unnecessary Mr. WARD concurred in the general principles of the measure, which recognised nearly all the principles laid down by the emigration committee Mr. V. SMITH asked if the order in council, which ap peared in a recent Gazette, relative to the emigration of Hill Coolies to the Mauritius, was founded on any information beyond what was before the house last session ; and, if so, whether that information would be laid before the house. Mr. ROEBUCK contended that the colonies did not belong to her Majesty as property, but simply as part of her domi nions, and there was therefgre no reason why the bill should be co n fi ne d to t h e life of her present Majesty. He looked upon this bill as an additional clause to our poor law act, and thought that the jobbing which the noble lord was en deavouring to guard against by this bill mi g ht b e b e tt er pro vided aga i nst by leaving the colonies to govern themselves. Sir G. GREY suggested the necessity of extreme caution in fixing the minimum price, for it was too apt to be taken as the value of the land. Mr. S. O'BarEN thought the hill ought to be extended to the Cape of Good Hope and New Brunswick, and indeed to all the colonies of Great Britain. Lord STANLEY said the governor of the Cape was of opi nion that the colony was not in a condition to receive a num ber of emigrants. With respect to the order in council, it was quite true that it was found inexpedient to continue the the prohibition to sending East India labourers to the Mau ritius, and it became requisite in doing away with the prohi bition to provide against the abuses which formerly pre vailed. To allow such emigration to take place, the con current action of three bodies would be necessary ;—first, that of her Majesty by an order in council, then the vote of' m oney by the colony Mauritius.oftheof India in andlastly council. Leave inter vention of the Governor-GeneralLeave was then given to bring in the bills, and the house adjourned. The Queen has been pleased to present the Rev. N.

To a cer tain extent he was as ready to admit it as any man, and he felt the greatest confidence that her Majesty's present advi sers would take every possibletneans of promoting the pros perity of the country. (Loud cheers, and cries of " hear, hear," from the opposition.)

(Hear, hear.) He at the head of the administration liail - given notice of so early a day to bring the important subject of the corn-taws before the house, when it would then be fully and, be trusted, fairly and impartially discussed. (Hear, hear.) The coun try had now an able and talented administration—(hear) -- composed of men who would do their duty fearlessly ; and he felt confident the hopes and expectations of the nation would not be disappointed. Mr. EWART then uttered a few anti-corn-law common Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he did not believe a conservative government would abolish or materially alter the poor-law. What then would be the principles of the government? Why, they would act on the sound policy which had been bequeathed to them by their predecessors. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the corn-laws he must object to a sliding scale, and he trusted the government would propose a mode rate fixed duty. When the right hon. baronet's measure came before the house he would, in the words of Lord Mel bourne, do that justice to the measure of the present govern ment which they, when in opposition, had not done to his. With respect to the excess of our expenditure over our in come, he thought it arose from temporary circumstances, and that we should try to meet it by a modification of our import duties before we resorted to the imposition of new taxes. Sir R. PEEL was glad that the noble lord agreed to the address which had been moved, and indeed the speech had been expressly framed to avoid provoking any collision of opinion. After slightly adverting to the 'state of our foreign relations, and the recent treaty with the court of Teheran, he referred to the United States, and said that a person had been sent out there to endeavour to terminate existing differ ences, thy means other than those which had been hitherto adopted. Such a termination would be for the interests of humanity and civilization, and it was felt that the person who went thither for that purpose should be a person of such con sideration as to have held a seat in her Majesty's councils. The ambassador who had gone had agreed to do so entirely from a sense of public duty, and considering his relation` with the United States, and the respect attached to his name in that country, he was convinced that a more welcome mes senger could not be selected. With respect to the corn laws he had selected the earliest possible day for their dis cussion, and until then he thought it inadvisable to enter upon the subject. At the close of last session he had stated that, daring the recess, the attention of the government should be directed to maturing such measures as they might deem it advisable to bring forward, and now they were fully prepared to redeem the pledge then given. (Cheers.) As soon as sufficient votes in supply had been taken to enable the government to state their views on financial matters, without detriment to the public service, they would at once do so, without waiting for the periOd at which it was usual to bring forward the budget. So far as regarded the conveni ence of the government they were ready at that moment to state their views; but for reasons connected with the public interest they deemed it advisable to postpone them until 1 after taking some votes in supply. (Cheers.) _ . Mr. VIIIIERS soid be would take the sense of the house upon the principle of taxing food at all, at the earliest oppor tunity. THE KING OF PRUSSIA On Thursday the town of Woolwich presented a most animated and interested appearance, as it was understood that his Majesty the King of Prussia was to visit the trcops, aid afterwards to embark for his own land. At 20 minutes past 10 the carriage containing the King of ;fa, Prince Albert, and Duke Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg, escorted by a troop of the 11th Hussars, was observed ap proaching, and the signal being given, the royal standard was hoisted on the flag-staff, and a royal salute announced the arrival of the royal party, who immediately alighted, and to whom several of the officers were introduced. The band of the Royal Artillery played " God save the Queen," and the troops presented arms, on the near approach of the royal visiters to the spot where they were stationed. The exercises of the troops immediately commenced by the Royal Horse Artillery and field batteries marching past at slow and quick time, and firing ; but, owing to the soft ness of the ground, or more probably to an evident anxiety in the countenance of the King of Prussia to embark, the troops did not gallop past or fire so many rounds as on for mer occasions. The Royal Horse Artillery, however, un limbered their guns, and his Majesty went up to them while they sat upon the wheels, and remained with apparent satis faction to witness the guns remounted, as they always are, in an incredibly short space of time. The Royal Horse Artillery were immediately afterwards ordered home, and the field batteries proceeded to the marshes. His Majesty the King of Prussia had been by this time joined by Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington, K.G., G.C.8., and G.C.H., who walked on one side, and the Duke of Cambridge on the other, with his Majesty across the common, and through the south-west gate to the Repo sitory. Doting the progress of the royal and distinguished visiters the immense concourse of spectators who had as sembled bad excellent opportunities of seeing the King of Prussia and Prince Albert, and the grand and brilliant staff present in honour of the occasion. After remaining 'about half an hour in the Repository, the royal party proceeded to the mortar battery, where a few rounds were fired, and on entering the guard mounting parade, were received with the usual honours by the Royal Sappers and Miners, the 15th Regiment, and the Royal Ma rines, drawn up in, line. His Majesty and Prince Albert, with the whole of the staff, then entered the mess-room, where they remained about twenty minutes. On leaving the mess-room, the King entered one of the barracks of the gunners and drivers of the Royal Artillery, and examined their accommodatioc. It was expected that his Majesty would visit the depot adjacent to the hospital, but he entered the royal carriage at the mess-room with Prince Albert and the Duke Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg, and proceeded, escorted by the Life Guards, along the Plumstead-road to the marshes. The crowd following in the direction of the marshes on this occasion was most immense, and one so numerous has seldom been witnessed in Woolwich. Indeed, the attempts of the police to prevent the people from entering at the Marsh-gate, only induced them to break through the hedges, and many most ludicrous scenes were witnessed of torn coats amongst the gentlemen, and the women caught in the hedges by their veils and bonnets, or where their dresses were of slight texture. None of these obstacles, however, deterred the people from pushing forward, and they entered in masses, in defiance of hedges, banks and ditches, and the police. At the time of the firing of the rockets, the only practice carried on, there could not have been less than 50,000 persons in the marshes and adjoining fields. The field batteries were in attendance, and a detachment stationed at General Millar's gun, hut they were not called upon to fire, and the first charges with which the guns had been loaded had to be and fish, it is only known to the Lord Creator." Among the more formidable difficulties-in this country to travellers, there are none more alarming and insuperable than those arising from climate. Imminent dangers arising from the presence of savage men or animals are of a tran sient nature, and capable of being guarded against by vigi lance and strength ; but the secret and devastating operations of a pestilential climate are too subtle and deadly to permit in almost any shape of device for counteraction. The treachery of the tribes of Africa has done little towards de stroying travellers and explorers, compared with the destruc tive and exterminating influences of her noxious clime ; and it is almost solely to this that the slow progress of African discovery is to be attributed. The banks of the Joliba, Quarra, or Niger, seem invisibly sentinelled by an ever-re pelling power. In the ensuing paper a brief recapitulation of all former and modern attempts to discover the source of the Niger, and the misfortunes, failures, and partial successes that have attended upon the travels and investigations of inquirers, will show the absolute fatality attending in some shape or other all expeditions of a similar nature to what has just de spatched homeward its new addition to the catalogue of ca lamities which have already been its precursors. The first notice in history on this point appears in Here dotus, who states, in his " Geograhy of Africa," that some young Nassamonians, a people who dwelt on the borders of the Mediterranean, travelled in a westerly direction from Egypt until they came to a large river full of crocodiles, and flowing towards the rising sun. and they were conducted by the natives to a considerable city situated ou the banks. The difficulty of determining the expression due west at this pe riod of time leaves the passage doubtful. Colonel Leake, however, in a recent letter read by him in the Geological So ciety, considers that they travelled along the Niger, and the city to which they were conducted was Timbuctoo. Strabo speaks little of the Niger, but Pliny largely ; he traces it through Mauritania, but falls into the error of He rodotns, who considers the Nile and Niger one river. Mela was the most reasonable geographer, and coincides as to the general opinion of the source of We Niger, but with proper candour acknowledges that no one knew what became of it, at the centre of the continent. Ptolemy, whose account of the Niger is very vague, closes all that the ancients knew of it. From the Arabians some fuller,accounts of the geography of the country are to be gleaned. Abulfeda and Adrisi knew it until it reached:the Atlantic Ocean, or " Sea of Darkness," and to distinguish it from the Nile, called it the" Nile of the Negroes." The maritime enterprise of the Portuguese led them early into the interior ; but though they obtained a considerable store of information respecting the Niger, they turned it to but little account. In their maps a remarkable circumstance is observable regarding the positiim of Timbuctoo. This city is placed so near the sea as to excite suspicion of its being the same as that on the Niger, and another place called Tambou cane, on the Senegal, is mentioned as answering their Tim- SAILED.—Hope, Sault:, and Loochoo, Wippen, for New Orleans —Hennes, Oliphant, for Buenos Ayres—Joseph Wheeler, Norton, for Barbadoes—Sanders, Bulley, for Constantinople--Trinity Yacht, Maxwell, for Gibraltar—Lord C.

At two o'clock the King of Prussia entered the east gate of the Royal Arsenal, and having inspected the cartridge manu factory, and walked rapidly through some of the other build ings, proceeded to the wharf, accompanied by Prince Albert and the Dukes of Cambridge, Wellington, Buccleuch, &c. His Majesty then embraced the Prince, and having severally taken leave of those about him, entered the state barge pre pared for his reception, in which he was conveyed to the Firebrand. The scene at this moment was an exceedingly striking and beautiful one ; the yards of the steamers were manned, multitudes of people lined the shores, and almost vied with the cannon in the loudness of their acclamations, while the extreme splendour of the uniforms presented a coup cliceil which in this un-military nation at least is seldom witnessed. Prince Albert and his suite left Woolwich for Buckingham Palace about three o'clock, escorted by a troop of Life Guards. ANTI-CORN LAW AGITATION-THE LADIES' CARNIVAL (From the Manchester Courier.) We believe we are not singular in entertaining a very strong distaste, almost amounting to dislike, for bazaars and fancy fairs. We object to them chiefly because they induce women to throw aside, for a time, those precious attributes of their sex, by which alone they can command, or have any right to command, respect. We may be very sure that when they exchange that graceful modesty and winning gen tleness (which constitute their best prerogative to the affec tionate loyalty and esteem of the opposite sex—their stoutest panoply against the approaches of insult and violence) for the duplicity, the cunning, and the selfish rivalry which pass current in the outer world, their nature receives a taint which time will scarcely efface. It is in domestic life alone that woman appears in all her majesty and power. In the open glare of the world she sinks to a helpless dependance upon man. In the retirement of home, she plays the part which nature designed for her, and her virtues make her all but omnipotent. Amongst the vanities and follies of the world, ostentatiously sharing in them,—she becomes an object of rude contemplation, and delegates the most sacred of her privileges. " Hine pugnat pudicitia, illinc"—pooh ! pooh ! —let us simply say, vice and folly have it all their own way. The influence which such public exhibitions as bazaars and fancy fairs exercise upon females in the higher walks of life, even when charity (?) is their ostensible end, is sufficiently objectionable. But when we descend a step lower, and con template their effects upon the female portion of the middle classes, who ought to be engaged in the affairs of their households;—when we consider that hours, and days, and weeks, which ought to be devoted to domestic usefulness (no inconsiderable part of domestic virtue I), are expended on the tinsel frippery of a bazaar; when we reflect further, that the proceeds of this ill-spent time are to be devoted to the furtherance of political and factious ends; and, above all, when we find females drawn from the bosoms of their families, to be publicly ogled by giddy and licentious crowds for a shilling a-piece—to do the work of vulgar and conten tious hucksters—and to play the part of factious and heated partisans (a part in which even men appear to a disadvan tage),—when we see the rules of decent society grossly vio lated, we are filled with indignation. Such proceedings are only not characteristic of the most abandoned state of soci ety, because they are veiled with hypocrisy ; they are not only unbecoming in the extreme, but absolutely disreputable; and—but no matter : if the husbands and fathers and, brothers of these ladies are content to incur so heavy a re sponsibility, and to hazard so much odium from all whose opinions are worth caring about, it is, we admit, no affair of ours. We can only say that we should instinctively shrink from the position in which they have voluntarily placed themselves. _ _ Possibly it may be thought that we are treating this matter somewhat too gravely ; and we are free to confess that if the incidents that have distinguished the " bazaar" are kept !n in view, we are quite open to such an objection. A more absurd affair, we verily believe, has seldom been presented to the public. The first ludicrous scene, as we are told, occur red on Saturday night, when the various stalls were appor tioned to the fair occupants. This, we understand, had well nigh given occasion for a battle-royal, much after the fashion of shch things as occasionally exemplified by " Sally Scrubbs" and' her wash-house coterie. Mrs. Somebody (we have the name) was going to be put off with a very ineli g ible stall, where " nobody could see her ;" whereupon the said Mrs. Somebody got into a" flust," and " kicked up," what is vul garly called " a row." The plan of drawing lots was re s orted to, but still Mrs. Somebody a position did n't mend ; ergo, Mrs. Somebody was for turning her back upon the whole concern ;—Mr. Somebody should withdraw his support, his subscription, and the high sanction of his name,—aud the thing should go to the dogs its own way—which it would be sure to do ! The mal-are was about a public ball. Some of the " ribs" of the dissenting teachers were for (hibernice) " slackening the lace" for a frisk, but the straight-laced would not hear of it, and—the ball was upset ? Not so ! The frisky ladies were determined to have their own ends (as what Liberal " rib" is not ?) and, accordingly, entered into an arrangement to let the theatre, for a night, to the "Young Men's Anti-Monopoly Association," for the recognised pur poses of a ball ! Skipping from the preliminaries to the bazaar itself, it is impossible to pass over the humours of the " post-office," the which young ladies (how witty and cunning they become all at once, when emancipated from the thraldom of mamma's apron-string and the terrors of the rod !) converted into a " conveniency " for communicating their pent-up senti ments to " agreeable younz men." Then amongst the attractions of the stalls we find offered for sale (oh ye nymphs !) several stray hairs from Sir Thomas Potter's head, dignified with the name of " locks of hair," and—according to the description—enclosed in " perforated card cases, with glass box, embroidered;" ditto Mr. T. M. Gibson; ditto the Rev. Joseph Brotherton ; ditto Dr. Bowring; ditto John Brooks ; ditto Ebenezer Elliot ; ditto George Thompson ; ditto the Rev.

MISFORTUNES AND FAILURES OF EXPEDI- I TIONS TO THE NIGER, FROM THE EARLIEST TO TUE -PRES' 1 TIME (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) 1 tracts and countries which form the e area of Interior Africa, though centuries have gone Arabs, Portuguese, and English have en deavoured to-penetrate into their circuits, vet it is astonish ing how little at the present day is known to satisfy the in mind. All that we know may be almost contained lallarn or learned priest of Of the undisco by, and Roman quirint in the description,,, the Sultan Bello, - who, When Clapperton as swered, that " of the great river, we knOw r nor of any one who has seen it. It rushes and precipitates itself through the country from left to right, and contains many islands inhabited by fishermen, herdsmen, husband- As to the variety of its animals, birds, ed him, an , t its 'sourc yen, and settlers buctoo. The source of the Niger, however, as well as it course, re mained in obsurity till English geography and travellers took the field. With Great Britian, a new era in the progress of African geography commenced; and in 1788 a number of wealthy and philanthropic individuals formed themselves into a society for the express purpose of promoting discovery in that country. Mr. John Ledyard was the first person despatched under the auspices of the " African AsSociation" upon the mission: he had already been round the world with Captain Cook, and had undergone hardships and privations in a journey through Russia, which, as the exploits of a single traveller, stand un rivalled. In June, 1788, he departed and reached Cairo in the month of August following—when becoming impatient and vexed by the delay of the caravan with which he was to have travelled, his anxious mind sunk under disappointment, and death quickly terminated his career. His instructions were, to have penetrated into Africa by way of Egypt, and to traverse the continent in the latitude of the Niger. Mr. Lucas was the next wlip went to explore the Niger. The journey of this traveller is remarkable for the additions he contributed to African geography, but he did not penetrate further than to the south of Mesurata, five days' journey from Tripoli. In his account of the Fezzan merchants, who crossed the Niger at a ferry two miles south of Cassena, may propably be discerned the ferry of Comie, below Boossa. Major Houghton, on the part of the African Association, next undertook the task. Travelling as far as Jarra, he was plundered and deserted by the Moors who accompanied him, and he died, after several days' wandering, from hunger and exhaustion. Mungo Park, in 1795, next took up this hazardous enter prise. The terrible sufferings that Park underwent are related in his own journal. In his first journey he nearly fell a prey. Having encountered all the horrors of the rainy season, and being worn down with fatigue, his health had, at different times, been seriously affected. But soon after his arrival at Kamalia ' lie fell into a severe and dangerous fit 'of sickness, by which he was closely confined for upwards of a month. His life was preserved by the hospitality and be nevolence of Karfa Taura, a negro, who received him into his house, and attended'him with the kindest solicitude. In Park's second expedition, arranged with the Secretary for Colonial Affairs, the plan was to send him with a detach ment of soldiers, and a few seamen and carpenters, to con struct vessels for the navigation of the Niger. With these thirty-five soldiers, their lieutenant, and the others, he ar rived at the wished-for point, ready to embark on the Niger, but the rains destroyed his men with a fatal rapidity. He lost the whole of his companions, except Lieutenant Martyn and three soldiers, of whom one was in a state of mental de rangement. The death of his friend and brother-in-law, Mr. Anderson, affected him most deeply. "No event," says he, " ever threw the smallest gloom over my mind, till I laid Mr. Anderson in the gravel I then felt myself as it were left a second Lime lonely and friendless amidst the wilds of Africa." Of this melancholy affair, he writes to Lord Camden thus —" Your lordship will recollect that I always spoke of the rainy season with horror, as being extremely fatal to Euro peans; and our journey from the Gambia to the Niger will furnish a melancholy proof of it. We had no contest with the natives, nor were any of us killed by wild animals, or any other accident ; and yet, I am sorry to say, that of 44 Europeans who left the Gambia in perfect health, five only are at present alive." Dated Sandansing, Nov. 17, 1805. At this most trying moment , however, his habitual con stancy did not forsake him. Though about to embark on a vast and unknown river, through the midst of savage nations, and a long succession of rapids and extracts, this voyage, one of the most formidable ever attempted, was to be undertaken by him in a crazy and ill-appointed vessel, which, principally by his own labour, he had constructed of two old patched and worn-out canoes, manned only by a few negroes and four Europeans. From Sandansing, Park embarked with the intention of descending the river to its mouth ; but, on reaching Boossa, was attacked by the natives and killed, after having previ ously suffered imprisonment more than three months. The strong determination of Park to persevere in his de sign of tracing the course of the river to its termination, is thus expressed in one of his letters from thi s p l ace: — " Though all the Europeans who are with me shall die, and though I myself were half-dead, I would still persevere ; and if I could not succeed in the object of my jou rne y, I wou ld at last-die in the Niger." H. Hornemann, a German traveller, was sent out by the association, but he contributed little to the knowledge on the Niger. At the same time, and by the same parties, another German, M. Roeutzen, set out, but he is supposed to have been murdered by his servant, a man of suspicious character. The next person who is supposed to have visited Timbuc too was an American seaman, named Adams, but his narra tive throws no additional light on the course of the Niger. In 1816 Captain Tuckey, of the Royal Navy, with an ex pedition under his direction, was sent out to penetrate into Africa by the river Congou, and so to arrive at the Niger. The fate of this expedition was the counterpart of its follow ers ; 280 miles from the coast was the extent of its progress, and the question was as far as ever from being decided. At the same time, another party, consisting of 100 men, were placed under the direction cf Major Peddie, to reach the Niger by Park's route from the Gambia ; this party ascended the river Nunez, but were equally unfortunate with the Con- you expedition. Captain Clapperton's expedition was disastrous at its very outset. Himself, Captain Pearce, and Dr. Morrison, had the imprudence to sleep in the open air for two successive nights, on the swampy and unwholesome coast, by which they were all attacked with fever, and the two latter fell vic tims in the course of a fortnight, leaving Clapperton to pro ceed alone. Clapperton, accompanied by Lander, visited Boossa, the place of Park's death. He had imbibed a strong aversion to descending the Niger, and made no secret of it to Lander. His firm conviction was, that whoever attempted to go down this river would fall by the attacks of the natives. Clapperton crossed the river at Comiex, below Boossa, and arrived soon after at Socatoo. The successful progress of Clapperton through the interior thus far is well known; but, sad to say, the first lesson that ought to have been taught him by his two friends was Quite disregarded. He lay in a damp spot in the open air, and his disease becoming aggravated, he exclaimed, " Richard , I feel myself dying." He then delivered his papers to Lander, with directions for his guidance, and,shortly after died. M. Lacaille's safety, who, inspired by the premium pro posed by the Freneh-Soeiety of Geograp . 1, less -sincevne trated to Timbuctoo, and thence to Morocco, appears to have been insured by his following the example of Hornemann and Burckhardt, in assuming the character of a Mahometan. Major Laing was another victim to these expeditions; and he met with a more tragical fate than any of his predecessors. The bigotry and rapacity of the Moors first put him in peril of his life. Laing was first surprised in the desert by a party of Tuaricks, who plundered him and left him for dead, hav ing inflicted twenty-four sabre w ounds on him, from which he almost miraculously recovered. At Timbuctoo he found a kindly reception from the Sheik Boubokar, so long as he had power to protect him, but the fortune of war had thrown this city into the hands of another chief, to whom Boubokar was obliged to act viceroy, and who despatched him an order which compelled him to send off Major Laing as expelled from the country. The good old chief accordingly put Major Laing under the charge of Barbooski, an Arab chief, who undertook to conduct him in. safety as far as Aravian ; but hat traitor on finding M a j or Laing completely in his power , murdered him, and took possession of his property. The spirit of intolerance displayed by some of the African tribes is not, however, unrelieved by instances of genuine pity. Once, when Lander was lying at the foot of a tree, almost expiring with fatigue and thirst, he implored nume rous passengers for a drop of water, but they said to each other, " He is a Kaffer—lethiin die. Yet there was found at last a good Samaritan, who, amid the reproaches of his countrymen, relieved a suffering fellow-mortal. The Lander expedition is of too recent date to need our entering into particulars. The mournful assassination of Richard Lander was coupled with strange circumstances, " white man will never reach Eboe this time," was an excla mation that greeted his ears from King Jack, a relative of King Roy, and one of the heartless and sullen chiefs who ruled over the marsh country on the banks of the Brass River, uttered while his eyes sparkled with malignity. The subsequent ambuscades of the natives lower down the river, and the murderous discharges of musquetry while the boats were pushing off, fully showed the meaning of the threat, and, from the effects of the musket-wound he received, Lan der died on his arrival at Fernando Po. The last expedition, the lamentable accounts of which have just reached us, adds to these records of fatality perhaps a more frightful instance than any that have preceded it. In former cases, a single and valuable life has been sacrificed, or in cases where numbers constituted the expedition, the largest average of lives sacrificed was in the second expedi tion under Park ; but when souls, exceeding more than half a hundred, have been rashly hazarded and sacrificed, as in the present case, it is to be feared that so appalling an in stance will, from its alarming nature, be the strongest pre ventive, both on the minds of individuals and the feeling of this or future govern9nts, towards attempting a similar un dertaking.

There is very little demand for Tobacco, and the safes this week do not exceed 100 hhds., of which a few were for Ireland and a small lot for Scotland. The entire sales last month amounted to 1150 hhds., of which 586 were for export, 277 for Ireland, and remainder to the trade. Prices are maintained. On Wednesday and Thursday we had a , decidedly better demand for Cotton, causing transactions to the amount of 5000 on the former and 4500 on the latter day, inclusive of 1500 for export. To-day the demand is not Bo great , yet the tone of the market is firm and healthy ; prices having of the two an upward tendency. The business is estimated at 3500 bales, The week's sales amount to 29,710 bales, in cluding 3000 for export, and 2500 on' speculation account. Prices of all kinds without any material alteration. COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY 5. Our market has had a very animated appearance to-day ; con sumers, exporters, and speculators, all purchasing freely at the full prices of yesterday, making about id advance on business done early in the week ; altogether we should say that 6000 bales have changed bands, and the market closes with firmness. COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY 7. The general and good demand noticed on Saturday have been maintained throughout to-day by the consumers, who has pur chased to the extent of ROO bales at last week's prices, in some instances on rather easier terms, owing to the circumstance of the improved demand having caused many holders to show their stocks, who would otherwise have kept back. The market is healthy and COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT. In the early part of the week the demand from the trade was moderate. and, with a good assortment of American offering, the the market was rather heavy; but during the last few days Ex porters and Spinners have come forward freely, which has given more confidence to holders, and with decidedly a better feeling, prices of American and Suratlre now steady at the prices current last Friday. For Brazil and Egyptian, however, the enquiry con tinues limited, and no improvement whatever has taken place. 2500 American have been taken on speculation, and 1 ono American, soo La Guayra, 130 Maranham, and 100 Surat for export. There have forwarded into the country unsold during the last month 1660 American, 220 Pernarn, 20 Baliai and 400• Surat. There are declared for auction on Friday next 750 Sea Island, 100 Stained, 700 Carthagena and 330 Peruvian ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 28th ult. to the 3rd instant, inclusive. Prices paid imrc tin the week.lThisWk. SALES OF TOE WEEK IRTS ithisyeal SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, FRB. 4 Notwithstanding the small number of Cattle here to-day the Beef trade was in a sluggish state; yet no variation was noticed !n the currencies obtained on. Monday last, the primest Scots selling at 4s 8d per sib. From Scotland we received 200 Scots, by -teamers. Very few Sheep were brought forward. while the de. nand for them was slow, at late rates. Scarcely any Calves were offered, owing to which the sale for them was brisk, at an advance of from 2d to 4d per 81b. Pigs moved off freely at full prices. Mulch Cows were held at from to £2l lOs each. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 4 Of English Wheat there is little left over from Monday, and that consists of inferior qualities, prices may be considered the same as on that day : of free Foreign there has been a pretty good sale during the week for cor.sumption, and of bonded there are buyers at reduced rates, but holders will not give way. Barley, Pease, and Beans are a dull sale, but not cheaper, and the Oat tree continues flat. The discussion of the Corn Laws, and the probability of less restrictive measures being introduced, has not produced any sensation here, but parties are waiting quietly the result of Sir Robert Peel's determination on Wednesday next. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEn. 7 Since this day se'nnight; the transactions in Butter have been to a m)st trivial amount, and a serious decline in price having taken place in London, the trade here is in a most unsatisfactory state. It is pretty generally supposed, that if Sir Robert Peel should suc ceed, by the soundness and genuine liberality of his measures, in stifling the agitation of the humbugging Anti-Corn law league,— matters will be speedily ameliorated with us ;—and the expose of Wednesday evening next is consequently looked for by the trade with the most intense anxiety.

With the exception of a fair supply of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland, the arrivals of British produce continue very limited, and from abroad we have to notice only one cargo of 1200 qrs. Mediterranean Wheat reported since Tuesday last. Though the transactions in free Wheat and Flour, within the last:ltwo days, have not extended beyond a moderate amount, and altogether for immediate consumption, the steadiness of the trade mentioned in our last, has conti nued, and in the sales made, our quotatons there stated have been fully supported : in other articles nothing of mo ment has been done. The announcement of Sir Robert Peel to bring before Parliament the consideration of the Corn Laws next week. appears to have produced a check to all extensive business at our Corn Exchange to-day: waiting the discussion of this question, buyers have again acted with caution, and the purchasers of wheat have been to • a very limited extent : on the other hand holders have been far from pressing sales; and the late currency for all descriptions of this grain, therefore, remains unvaried. Flour, also, has been restricted to a merely retail demand on the terms last noted. . • . . Having very little Malting - Barley at hand, such is Is. per qr. dearer, and grinding. .samples are more saleable at former prices.- , -Malt and Pease, dull lmt not cheaper.— Beans, with rather more inquiry, fully suppot their previous value. Oats, in the absence of country demand, were in very slow request, and barely maintained our last quotations, and oat meal, with the exception of a few speculative sales, met very little notice, without any material change in prices. The only transactions reported in bond, comprise part of a cargo of Ancona Wheat at 7s. per 701bs. and about 900 barrels of 'States Flour at 275. 6d. to 28s. per barrel.
