What. Stanley is Doing.

We have received the following import- ant particulars with respect to the move- ments of Mr. 'H. M. Stanley, the African explorer, from a correspondent whose svurces of information are thorougly trust- worthy ;—‘‘About nine menths ago, Mr. Stanley suddenly departed for the east coast of Africa... He afterwards turned up at Zanzibar, in a chartered steamer, but no one ceuld understand with what object the dis- tinguished traveller had gone there, some supposing that they had gone for the pur- pose of ascending one or two small rivers Now, advices haye been received that Stanley sailed from Gibraltar for the west coast of Africa three weeks age, eaving come through the Suez Canal in this chartered steamer, full of carriers. The object of his journey to the east coast is therefore diselosed—namely, to supply the great de- sideratum of carriers, and no doubt he has all the men who accompanied him in his last journey through the heart of Africa. Having left Gibraltar three weeks ago, Stanley’ has now steamed down the west coast of Africa direct to the Congo, with the intention of opening up the mighty river from the west coast. A steamer laden with goods has been despatched from Ant- werp within the last month, under the pat- ronage of the King of the Belgins. This steamer, which will remain at the Congo till Mr, Stanley’s arrival, has on beard two or three steam barges in sections, which confirms the suspicion that it is Stanley’s intention to ascend the Congo, carrying these sections piecemal round the Gellala Falls. We wish him all success. He is doing great work for the opening up of com- merce ; and although the Belgians have taken the lead, we have no fear that our own English merchants will lag behind when the way has opened up. This country is once more dee ly indebted to the King of the Belgians for the energy he has dis- played in connection with an important movement,— Liverpool Post.
