Extreme interest attaches 70 tho intelligence which
we yesterday enabled to give with regard to the
remarkable march achieved by Lieutenant Cameron
from coast TO coast Of the African Continent Some
time may elapse before the gallant young traveller
reaches England, he intended to wait at Loanda
until opportunity arrived OF despatchng his Zanzi-
bar followers round the Cape their shores; and
his journey did not end at the Portuguese settlement
until the 10th November. 1t will be all the well
come therefore, TO geographers TO know something
least of the which tho explorer has and of
the discoveries which he has been able to effect OF
these very useful foretaste furnished the tele-
graphic summary forwarded by our correspondent
from Madeira
