The Interior Of A frica.--Becroft, daring and
intelligent English voyager, has years ago dissipa

ert waste He has shown that it is accessible to
navigation and trade that the climate is healthy
as that Of the tropics generally; that there are re-
gonS of beautiful and fertile country, atlording OPP
portunities for legitimate commerce ofndefnite eX-
tension. This adventurous traveller explored the
river Niger within forty miles of Timbuotoo. He
has thrown light on thousands of miles ofrichly fer
tile and wooded country, watered by that great
stream and upon the ivory, vegetable tallow, pep
pers, indigo, cotton wool palm oil, dye woods, tim
Der woods, skins, and great variety OF produce,
which inv tie the trade. To carry on this trade in
the vessels which navigate the river, it is necessary
to have black crews The London Spectator re-
marks, OF course the free blacks educated in the
West India trade will become useful wolk men in
penetrating the native land of their race We must
depend, at least for generations to come, on the
black race to supply the bulk of the crews" For
our own part we do not see why our own country
should not compete with Britain for the rich trade
of Africa. Nor do we know any more efficient
method OF competition than the proposed line Of
steamers.
