Tripoli we learn, that that enterprising traveller, Mr. LAING,
left that capital on the 18th July, with a large caravan destined
for Timbuctoo. The time occupied in travelling the distance is
about 100 days, so that by this time he is far on his Ivy
ce-
lebrated city. It is not haiprobable that, descending the Niger
from Timbuctoo, as is his object, he may meet, on the territo-
ries of the Sultan of SockatoO, his countryman and , fellow-
traveller, Major . Clapperton, ascending the river from the
Bight of Benin. Both will reach the points from whence they
commence their researches regarding the middle 'course
and termination of that celebrated stream at the close
of the rainy season ;- and. Major Laing, in particular'
will reach Timbuctoo at a period of the year when, allowing a
few weeks for refreshment and repose after the fatigues under-
gone in the passage of the Great Desart, he will be able to start
with the commencement of the dry season, to follow out the
ulterior objects of his journey.—(Glasgow Courier.)
