(Front the London Jllhsnaam.) I:‘.XPI-EDITION TO CENTRAL AFRICA.

Your readers have already been made so uainted with the death of Mr. Richardson in Bornu. which melnnc oly event adds another name to the large numbe of those who have fallen a sacrifice in the cause of African discovery. His venturing on so gigantic ajour- ney as that which he originated, could indeed only be looked at with apprehension b all who know him personally, as he was of feeble constitution; t ough he successfully accomplished his first journey in the northern part of the Sahara. occupying nearly a year, during which he endured considerable hardships and privationn, without apparent injury to his health. His death is ie more to be deplored by his friends, as he wasso near Lake Tna . the end of hisrruinsion. whence he was to return by the direct road to Tri-

I.

As the deceased traveller had little or no part in the scientific interests of the expedition. these will suffer no interruption front his untimely end; Drs. Barth and Overweg will continue their jottrney as before. It is earnestly to be hoped, that they will be permitted to bring their perilous undertaking to an end, and have the good fortune to return to Europe with the results of their extensive and iinportnnt labours. . Full accounts frotn the two lnnt~natned travellers have just arrived in Europe. In these they confirm, your readers know. the tidings ofthe death oftheir companion. and report favourably on their own ltealtlt and progress. Your readers will recollect, tltnt Dr. Barth lind arrived at Kano in February. At this place he remained during that trtoiitlt and the early part of March; and then, I)r. Over- weg not having yct rejoined him. he set out for Kukn, which pl.ico he reached. as you know, on the 2d of April. On his arrival he presented himncl“ at tho S|iiek’s palace as one of the surviving Christians who had coins from England to bring hiiti presents front Her British Majesty. Mr. Richardson had died so suddenly, that he was unable to leave. in his capacity as hand of the expedition, and ofliciul representative of the English Government,»ur:d direc- tions as to the courneto be pursued generally; and liD interpreter and servants had de sired every thing belonging to him with the Vizier of Bornu. )r. Barth was received with great kindness and hospitality by the Sultan. The happiness which he felt in receiv- ing letters and hearing Europe after a lapse of nearly nine months, he says he was unable to describe.

While awaiting the arrival of Dr. Overweg, Dr. Barth mnde pro- parntions for the exploration of 'I‘n:id. and collected information respecting every quarter of Central Africa, with the zeal and inde- fnligability which distinguish this enthusiastic u'nveller,——tltongh the state of scanty provision and disorganization H which he found the whole expedition on his arrival at Kuku were snflicient to have dis- couraged the most one tic. 'I‘ho Vizier of Benin had lent him one hundred dollars. with which he was enabled to pay part of the salary due to Mr. Richardson's servants.

On the 7th of A il, a eourier from Zinder arrived at Ztrltl with the news that Dr. gvcrweg had just returned to the former pltlce. and intended to ,. eooed to Kukn, either direct or by the way of Ksno. Ile had sent on his efi'ects,—belioving Dr. Barth to be there. Should he have been obligedtogo b Kano, let us hope that he will have rejoined his . panion in safety; but since Dr. Barth had left that place. the way from then has become very

.§.anhhn*isashittnl.et.naarideil. On the 23d of Apri , Dr. Overvve not having arrived, Dr. Barth started on an excursion along Lake ' ‘end, as far as Angornn. Dur- ing two days he was half the titne in tho water—-sometitnes up to his horse's back. He visited in that region the Buddumas, a peocple who live on what by Denhnm were described an small is- nn s within the lake, but which tttrn out to be extensive meadow lands, the superficialextent of which is iituclt greater than that of the lake itself. 'l'liis lake is described by Dr. Barth as an immense marsh, of which the only portion lit for navigation, is it deep chan- nel formed by tlto River Shary, which pours ittttitense volumes of water into it.

Dr. Barth has sent a vocabulary of the Duddnmns to the Cheva- lier Bunsen. which it is presumed, will prove of great interest, as being that ofn nation that has preserved its itidcpciido.-ticc froiti the remotest period.

Dr. llarth has also sent home at various times, a great nutnbcr of itnportniit itineraries.

MYS'l‘l’.RlOUS Dl".A’l‘lI OI’ A LADY.

An invr.-stig:ition. which did not tnrmin.-rte till nearly one o'clock on Sztturdn titorning, was opened mi I"rid:iy ztftcrnoun. before Mr. \V:ikt-ly. tit: C(|I'(\llt'.l‘, and ti jury of ltoitsizliuldvr.-4 of .\lary-le-lmnc. at tho lltill';ilo‘s IIt!:llI 'I‘:tvcrn, Ni-iv-rotitl, as tn the circuttistutico-s cotitieclctl with tho death of .\Its. .\l:ir_v l'.|i7.:tbotli Kelly, aged 70, tin iiitlepeuilunt lady of large lill‘lll‘.Ic, residing at No. 9, .\'o1Iiugltnm- terrace, Ilo-.;ctit‘s-park. The proceedings, from the rumours :ttl.i.tt on tliusubjcct, littd excited great interest. being alleged that the deceased had died itt ll very tiiysterious and auspicious niuuuor. leaving property to the value of .L'3l).000, whicli was claimed by Captain I’i‘L-iierick Corner (Into oftlio Indian army) as the nllogr-il sort of the tli.-ccttsud lrtdy, who bud never been married, and who had a will in his pocket, stated to have made by the deceased, leav- ing the whole ofthe deceased lndy‘s property to him. The regis- trar had refused to register the tlt::Illl, and hence the inquest. The jury having viewed the body of the deceased, which lay at Ilt‘I' residence. Margaret Liddcll, a servant. was first exaniincd, and stated, that alto found deceased in lit-r bod in it state of lllsell.-'tlrilll_v in which condition she lay for several hours and then died. Captain Corner, doceused‘s son, was aware of her condition, but tto medi- cal man was sent for. She could not in any way account for de- censed'n death. Believed slio had left rt deal of property. ’I'|io coroner, after hearingthin evidence, consulted with the jury, niid resolved to adjourn the inquiry till nino o'clock the name evening, for a pas! morleui examination of the body, which was entrusted to Mr. Gilham, the head surgeon of Murylebone Infirmary. On the re-nenentbliug of the jury, Ctiptnin Frederick Corner was examined. He said he was the son of the deceased lady. who was seventy years of age. She had been sickly several times, but always lu-id an abhorronco of doctors. and would never have medical advice until about four moiitlin since, when it friend of his prescribed for her. The natne of lils friend. was Dr. Frith, of New-cross, Dept- ford. Ila prescribed sortie pills for her. but she only took two or three, and positively refused to take any ttioro. Ile repeatedly l'ItI- vised the deceased to have advice, and so did the servant, but with- out effect.

By the Coroner : The deceased had made It will five years since, in which she had lefl all her property, which was considerable to him. He had that will in his possession now and had lind it ever since it was made, live ears ago. On the Coroner asking the captain why, when he ound his parent so near death, he had not sent fora medical man, he replied-As l'| dutiful son he did not feel justified in going beyond the wish of a parent, and therefore he sent for no one.

Anne Meredith, ti cbarwomnn, stated she was employed at de- cenned‘e house. She had never seen deceased until within three minutes of her death, when she was called to look at her. She knew the family throu h the kindness of Captain Corner to her late husband some time be ore his death. Always understood the cup- tairt to be the son ofthe ’eceased lady, but could in no way account for the death of Mrs. Kelly.

Mr. Gilliam, head as eon of Murylebone Infirrnnry, was then examined, and deposed t at he had made tl port siorteni examina- tion. He found the brain, lungs, intestines, and liver perfectly healthy. The stomach appeared nearly empty, and he could not detected any evidence of poison. The esrt ivnn rather fatty, but the ventricles were all healthy.

THE BROKEN IIEARTED.

(mortal: n. PRBNTICI.

I hve seen the infant sinking down, like a stricken flower. to the grave—the strong man fiercely breathing out his soul u n the field of baltle—-the miserable convict standing upon the ace old, with a deep ctrse quivering upon his lips-—I have viewed death in all his fomiu of darkness and vengeance with it tenrlenn eye—but I never could look on woman, young and lovely woman, fading away from the earth in beautiful and uncomplninirtg melancholy, without feel- ing thevery fountains of life turned to tears and dust. Death is always teriible, but when a fornt of angel beauty is passing away to tliosilent land of the sleepers. the heart feels that something lovely in the universe is ceasing from existence, and broods, with n sense of utter desolation over the lonely thoughts that come up like apectres from the grave to haunt our niitlniglit musings.

Two years ago I took up my residence for a few weeks in a coun- try villago in the eastern part of New England. Soon after my ar- rival, I became acquainted with it lovely girl, apparently about seventeen years of age. She had lost the idol of her pure lienrt'n purest love, arid the shadows of deep and holy memories were nestling like the wing of death upon her bro\v. I first met her in the presence of the mirthful. She was indeed a creature to be worehippcd—licr brow was gnrlnnded with the young year's sweet- est fIewers—and she moved through the crowd with such rt floating rind unearthly grace, that the bewildered gazer altnost looked to ma her fade into the air. like the creation of seine pleasant dream. She seemed cheerful rind even gay; yet, I saw that her guiety was but the tnockcry of her feelings. She smiled, btit there was some- thing in her smile, which told that its mournful beauty was but the bright reflection ofn tear--and her eye-lids, at times, closed heavily down, as if struggling to repress the title of agony that was burrit- ing from her henrt‘s secret iirn. She looked as if she could have left the scene of festivity and gone out beneath the quiet stars. and ltiid her foreltetitl down upon the fresh green earth, and ured out her stricken soul, gush utter gush, till it mingled with tliii eternal futtnltiln of life and purity. Days and weeks passed on, and that sweet girl gave me her confidence, and I became to her as a bra- tlicr. She was twisting away by disease. The smile upon her lip was f.iintcr, the purple veins upon her cheek grew visible. .-tud tlio cadence of her voice became daily more weak and tremitlous. On a quiet evening in the depth of June, I watiderod out ti little distance in ths opeti air. It was then she told tne the tale of her passion. and the blight that had come down like mildew upon her life. Love had been a portion of her existence. Its tendrils had been twined around her heart in her earliest years. and, when they were rent away. they left it wound which flowed till all the springs of her soul was blood. “ Inm passing away,“ said she, “ and it should be so. 'l‘ho winds have gone over my life, and the bright buds of hope, and the sweet blossoms of pan- sion are scattered down, and lie ivitbercd in the dust. or rotting away upon the chill waters of memory. And yet I cannot go down among the tombs without a tear. It is hard to take leave of the friends who love me—it is very hard to bid farewell to those dear scenes, which, from day to day, have sought the colour of my life, and nympathised with my jo n and sorrows. That little grave, where I have so often ntraye with in hurled love. and where u‘; tiisseeeveii now, the sweet. tong] 9] _ s voice come ntealin uronn me, till the whale air becomes one i%nsfiHfi5mm'W that pensive star which we used to watch in its early rising, and on which my fancy can still picture his form looking down upon me, beckoning me to his own bright home; every flower, and tree. and rtvulet on which the memory of our early love has set its undying seal, have become dear to me. and I cannot, without it sigh, close my eyes upon tltern for ever." I have lately heard that the bean- tiful girl of whom I have spoken is dead. 'l'lie close of her life was calm as the falling ofn quiet strc:tin—" gcntlo as the sinking of the bronze that lingers for it time I|rt)ll'ltI rt bed of withered roses, utid tlicu (IIDS an if it were from very swcr-tneii.s."
