DT Bayard Taylor, one of the editors of the New York Tribune, was, on the l2th of January last, at Kharoun, town in Sennaar, situated at the confluence of Blue and White Nile. He is said 10 be the first American that was ever seen so far towards Central Africa. He was in company with a Missionary, who was bound still farther for the interior. The Tribune does not know whether he will return from Khar- toun, or whether his adventurous spirit will lead him to accompany the Missionary on an exploring expedition to the head waters of the Nile.
