AFRICAN PRoDUCTs AND DIsCoVERrEs,--
Two arrivals at our port last week from the
western coast of Africa, brought nearly sew
en- thousand bushels Of pea or ground nuts.
1t is said that from fifty to sixty thousand
tons a year are shipped from Africa to this
country and to Great Britain and France
The export Of peanuts and palm oil onl y to
America and Europe represents the annual
value OF at least fifteen millions of dollars
So much for merely two articles of African
produce.
Barth's travels cover Central Africa as far
as to within eight degrees north of the equa-
tor. Livirgstone's researches come to with
in the same distance south. So that there is
still belt of sixteen degrees, with the equa-
tor as a centre, which no white man has yet
visited Lieut.. Burton, celebrated for his
successful visit to Mecca and Medina, is now
travelling in that portion. He hopes to cross
the entire Continent midway between the
routes Of Barth and Livingstone.
Meanwhile, we now know enough to be
sure that we have heretofore known but lit
tie oe Africa or its inhabitants. Both Barth
and Livingstone, the latter especially, prove
the whole immense tracts from the Sahara
on the north, TO the Kalabari Desert on the
south-with breadth of five hundred to two
thousand miles-is a wonderfully fertile and
well watered country, probably not inferior
in natural proluctiveness to the valleys of the
Mississippi and the Rio G-ande, capable Of
yielding all tropical productions and inhabi-
ted by most interesting people, or rather
by group Of races. all Of whom differ ma
terialIy in character from the natives Of the
slave coast, who have hitherto stood as the
types of the population Of Africa. These
revelations are the great significant facts of
modern discovery, and poin. the way to re-
suits exceeded by nothing since the discovery

| RULE FOR WEARING RINGs-For the ben
eft of the 'craft,' as the bachelors say, we
copy the following rule for wearing rings,
for the especial benefit of those ladies who
are DESTROYS of wearing into the affections
of young gallants: - 81. "a
When lady is not engaged, she wears a
ring on her first finger; if engaged, on the
second; K married, on the third and if sho
intends to remain unmarried, she wears the
ring on her fourth finger. This is the rule
laid down in the latest work upon female
proprieties that we have seen, and it appears
to be generally recognized among the sex as
one that should be scrupulously Observed.
There are some young ladies, however, who
appear to take delight in wearing one upon
the first and second finger, ,hus leaving the
admiring spectators in some porpexty how
to classify them. Others wear ring upon
each finger and again, three or four hoops,
sparkling with briiants, may be seen edg-
ing each other on the second-emblemati-
CAL of the number of engagements or tri-
umphs they have achieved during the peri
cd Of their blooming girlhood.

NUMBER 40.
Importation Of Lh,,,,;,s.

The brig f. Drummond arrived at New
York a few days since from Aspinwal, hav-
ing on board flock of Lamas. They are
Of the breed called Auchania," and were
brought from the Cordileras. Seventy -one
of these animals were originally taken on
board, but owing to heavy weather on tho
passage, twenty nine Of them died. A cor
respondent of the Journal of Commerce
gives the following description of tie Lama
The Lama belongs to the group Ruminan-
tia, which is divided into four families, the
camel, giraffe, deer and antelopes, and oxen.
The genus Auchania differs from the camel
in being destitute of humps on the back
The legs are shorter than in the camel. The
neck is long-more vertical. The cars aud
hoofs are long. The toes are separated, or
not united, as in the CAMEL, BY callous
sole. The actual species of this genus belong
to this continent exclusively, where they
represent the carre!s of the Eastern. They
are confined to the mountainous regions Of
South America. The Lama, the most COM
mon Of this species, is as large as stag, and
was known at the time of the conquest Of
Peru by Pizzarro in 1854, and, indeed, was
the only domesticated animal, being for the
inhabitants Of that country what the rein
deer is TO the laplanders. This importation,
we perceive, is speculation, the design be-
ing, no doubt, to introduce them among the
elevated portions of New England, where
sheep and aIpaccas flourish. This animal is
extremely hardy, and is said to breed rap
idly. They will be valuable only for their
WOOL"
