THE AFRICAN EXPEDITION.

Mr. Laird, who was associated with Lander in bis ex-
pedition to the Niger, and has just returned to England in
the Columbine, brings with bim accounts from Lander,
then at Atta, to the 21st of July last. The following, as
regards Lander, is the substance of his information. His
trip up the river from the mouth of the Nun (in a canoe)
occupied him thirty-two days. He met Mr. Laird and
Lieut. Allen, who had imagined he was either dead or
bad returned to England, descending the river with the
steamer on their way back to the coast. This was on
the 12th of July. Lander immediately arranged that
Mr. Laird should return to the coast in the
Quorru, and send back to him some part of the cargo
from the Columbine; while, with the iron steamer, be
would himself push on to Rahbah and Boussa. He seems
determined further to distinguish himself- by discovery,
and by the establishment of a commercial intercourse with
the natives, in which be bad confident hopes of being
successful. Mr. Laird, during his sojourn in Africa,
suffered greatly from fever. For several months he was
confined to a miserable hut, till some of bis bones had
actually penetrated the skin. Linder expected to be in
England by Christmas, so that his return may daily be
looked for.
