The newly Discovered Lake in Africa.

A paper was recently read before the geo
graphical society of London, giving an account
of the discovery of the Lake Ngam in South
ern Africa, by the Rev. David Livingston, ac-
complained by Messrs, Murray and Oswel. Mr..
Livingston, with his friends, started on the lst
of June last from Kolobang, % deg. S. lat and
26 deg. E. long South Africa, to penetrate the
desert in search of the lake.
This desert has hitherto presented an nsur-
mountable barrier to Europeans: and party of
Griquas even last year, at two different points,
made many and preserving efforts in vain to
cross it. When Sekomo, the Cermanguto chief
learned the intention of Mr. Livingston to pen
citrate through the region beyond him, he order
ed his men to drive the Bushmen and Bakali-
har from the route, in order to deprive the par
ty of their assistance in search for water AZ
ter a perseverng march of about 800 miles. the
party at length struck on magnificent river
on the 4th of July; and following along the
banks of this nearly 800 miles more, reached
the Batasama, on the Lake Ngumi, in the begin
ming of August-The Bakoha or Bayere. are
totally distinct race from the Beclmanas, and
are much darker than the latter. OF 800 words
collected by Mr.. Livingston, only 81 appeared
to resemble the Sitchuana "We greatly ad-
mired," said Mr.. Livingston, ''the frank, manly
bearing of the inland sailors; paddle along their
river and lake in canoes followed out Of the
trunks of immense trees, take fish in nets made
of a weed Astounding on the banks, and kill hip
popotami with harpoon attached to ropes" The
banks were beautiful in the extreme, in some
parts resembling the Clyde. They were COW
cred with gigantic trees, many OF them quite
new. Two or three measured in circumferen-
ce seventy-six feet. The higher the party as
cended the river the broader it became, until it
measured 100 yards in breadth between the
wide belt of reeds lining the sides. The water
was clear as crystal, softand cold. The Youga
is reported to communicate not only with the
lake, but also with other large rivers coming
from the north.-One remarkable feature of the
river is, its periodical rise and fall During
the short time the party remained, it rose nearly
three feet in height and this, too, il the dry sea-
son. This rise is evidently not caused by rain,
the water being SO pure; and besides the purity
increased as the party ascended towards its juno
ton with Tamunakle, from which river it re-
eeives large supply. With the periodical rise
of the rivers, large shoals of fish descend The
latitude of the lake at its northeast extremity
is 20 deg. 20 Sec the longitude is supposed
by Mr.. Livingston to be about "a deg. east. It
gradually widens out from the mouth of the
Youga into firth about fifteen miles across.
and towards the southwest presents large hor-
lion of water.
