A recently published letter of DR.. Livingston, the
African traveller, contains some interesting particu
ars respecting the great River Zambeze, Of which
the kwer course has long been known to the Por.
tusuese, but which rom the length and importance
of its upper course, now beginning to become
known, seems likely to prove the Nile Of south
eastern Africa.
The ports called Barro, CatOnis aud Melumbs are
the real mouths Of the Zambeze, and ought 70 be
explored DR.. Livingston reached the oceN not By
the Zaubeze, but by the QuiIimane, which is an
other river. Where be left he Zsmbeze, i. was
flowing rapidly with width Of three-quarters of a
mile of deep water. II remains so high during FIVE
months of the year that small steamer would scarce
" run aground within 800 miles Of the coast
During the remaining months there is deep chan
mel, rather winding and shifting from year to year.
There is also shifting, reedy island in the chan

him to decline all company. The decision will
hardly be rendered before the end of the term.
