ANOTHER EXPEDITION TO EXPLORE THE NIGER.--
We understand that it is in contemplation to fit out
another Admiralty expedition to explore the source of
the Niger, with the view of promoting civilisation in
Africa and opening up new sources of commerce. It is
held that the present is a fitting opportunity for another
expedition to the Niger, inasmuch as the mortality on
the coast of Africa has f late very much decreased.

DEPARTURE OF THE SYDNEY STEAMER FOR AUSTRALIA.
—On Saturday the Royal Australian Mail Steam-packet
Company's screw steam-ship Sydney took her departure
from the East India Docks, and proceeded down the
river, on her way to Australia. From some awkward
matter or other, in wending her course through the
Galleons Reach, above Woolwich, she caught the ground.
Fortunately, however, the tide was flowing, and she
came off unhurt, it is said. She brought up at Graves-
end to receive the mails, and at daybreak yesterday_
morning sailed direct for her destination (Sydney and
Adelaide), without calling in at any port clown Channel.
She had a number of passengers, and a full crgy of
oda.
