THE LAST NILE DISCOVERY.

Baying during the last few days met with many
persons who have said that they are unable to form a clear
conceptive of the relations of the two vast equatorial
Africa& lakes—the Victoria of Spoke mod the Albert of
Baker—to each other and to the Nile, air Roderick Mau
chison offers the following explanation :—"Let the in-
quirer cumuli this map ocotalned la Spoke* Doak, sad he
will me at a glum, how the tacosery of Baker has arab-
stantially confirmed the views of his distinguished prede-
cessor. Speke places the Data Nsige (now the Albert) on
his map as a greet sheet of water- of widish he had
heard, and into which the Nils, from the point where
he was obliged to quit it, descended by rapids, and thee
re-imbued • little to the berth .so flow to tiodokoro.'
strongly did he believe, from the desoriptios of the native.,
that such would be found to be the sass that be incited his
friend Baker to eodeavout to ascertain Om facts. Now,
is every essential point the researches of Behar have sea-
firmed the accuracy of the views of Spoke as maids the

THE CHEISTILN Emits or ELICTIONELEING.
On kiusday evening, previous to his vermin at flimsy
Chapel, the Rev. NOWIIIIIII Hall delivered a eh, rt address in
reference to the pestling elections. Ho said that a Chris-
tian stews piety should be exhibited, not is his withdraw-
ins from public and political ditties, but is his *plight ea-

Neither would be intimidate or bribe others, directly or
