THE NEW NIGER EXPEDITION.—It Will be remem-
bered, that about two years since Capt. Beecroft and Dr.
King left Liverpool in the steamer Ethiope, on another
experimental trial to open commerce with Central Africa.
Letters have been received from those gentlemen by a
Dutch ship which arrived in the Channel, dated Fernando
Po, Nov. 9. announcing the return to that island from the
Niger six days previously. The vessel had been upon
that river for a period of three months and a half. Unhap-
pily, in consequence of deaths, feuds, and wars amongst
the chiefs, the aspect of matters in the interior had been
found materially altered, and Rabbah, the largest and
most flourishing town on the river, in 1840, is now de-
serted and in ruins. Owing to this disordered state of
things the mission had not been so successful cotnmer-
daily as was expected, though not less so than Dr. King
had anticipated under such circumstances.
