FRIDAY mDaNaaa, OCTOBER 40, 1850.

According to the Foreign Quarterly Review, thu
testimony Of Mr.. Salt, traveller Of much ce
Iebrity. and whose veracity has never been call
ed in question. is directly contrary to the story
of Douville. "Mf, S. states that while roaming
along the banks Of the Tacazze, with party Of
Abyssinnians they amused themselves with fir.
ing down at the hippopota,ni. which, though re,
peatedly struck on the head and elsewhere, yet
sustained no injury from the balls.
AS a specimen Of the prowess of our author,
while travelling as private gentleman, in Afri-
ca, and to show that he enacted more wonders
than common men are capable of performing, we
may extract the following account OF a fray which
he represents as having occurred near the village
of tribe called Ocuendessa, or The Actires. -
about one hundred and fifty miles to the cas-! Of
Mutamba. An attack was made upon his escort,
or train, and thus does Ire relate the issue We
leave our readers to decide whether the narration
does not smack OF the miraculous:--
"Xeepins near me the men Of Mari. whom
daily drilled IN the manuel exercise, ordered
fifty of my porters, r.! who were armed with
muskess, TO fire, At the FIRST discharge a score
of the enemv were stretched on the ground, cry
ing dreadfnly; the remainder, exasperated, then
rushed upon my camp. with clubs and axes in
their bands. lreceived them with Inv men of
Rehi, and wounded great numder My other
negroes. armed with knives or axes. fell upon
the rest with such fury that they obliged them TO
scamper off My people. who had time to re,
load their muskets, made a second discharge up
on the fuglives. Fify-two prisoners remained
with me, many Of whom were wounded.
"A to the wounded Of the enemy, left them
on the field of battle, and carried of thirty seven
women and children. Vol. ii. PIP. S4l.
Such is the enlargement, to say the least, Of
the author upon whom the Sncietc de Geograph-
lie of Paris chooses to conier its honors. We
suspect. however that neither these, nor the fact
of his being as he jisclcses in his title page,
