MR. BELZONI:

The name and memory of Mr. BEIZONt are engrave".
in characters ai lasting as that pyramid whose entrance-
.his sagacity discovered. Another has tints been added to-
the list of those whose loss we have so justly deplore;
—BURCKHARDT, Itwine. BowDicu, 11F.t.zoNr—:4;1 in
whom the greatest reliance had been place S, :kilt' front
:whose exertions the happiest succes3 had been augute,l,
in consequence of their zeal, their intrepidity, and their
science. Nothing could have prnmiied more fairly that
the art angements which had been made by BsLzoNt oa
leaving Cape Coast for Benin. Everybody on that stozio:v
was his friend, and aided his views in every respect.

Captain FILMORE, who had rendered BEl.7.Ast such
essential service on. his art ival at. Cape Coast, and Wl°,
is just returned from Mika, spoke of BELzosr in t;:e
highest terms of admiration, and anticipated his ul-
timate success, in conjunction with other ft iend.:,
a concurrence of fortunate events which seemed to tiniJ,
in preparing the way for him ; but it has please) rlie ^
VIDENCK to dispose otherwhe of the event, and we mt.:7t
bend with. resignation lO•the DIVINE gill; and here we
cannot but lament the fatal impediments which were
thrown in the way of this enterpri,ing traveller, wheh
he had surmounted the chief obstacles, and was pie-
paring to quit Fez, and to join the caravan from Td!i-
let to Timbuctoo.

The ready and continual communication whicl, no•.•r
known to exist between Fez and Timbuctoo, proves
that, with the advantage BEr.zoNt possessed, he r•ug':t,
in all probability, have reached thdt capital in satety.
BELZONI has, however, the merit of shewiug that 5,.16
a route is practicable, and we believe it will be found
the only practicable one ; since, after the sad and me-
lancholy instance of BELZONI, few will be found hanly
enough to expose their constitution to the fatal eff-ects of
the malaria along the coast and neighboui hood of Benin.
There is reason to believe that BELZONI kept jeuroals
of all his proceedings, from the time of his first arrival
at Tangier, in April, 1823, to his departure from Tetne-
riffe, in September last, and there is reason to believe
tirtt he continued these journals to the period of !Ili.
dissolution.
