They have been sent out by philanthropic mer chants of Liverpool and, London to as cend the Bouth bank of the river to a point above the first rapids, where they are to establish an industrial Christian mission. Such enterprises, Mr Bushnell adds, will prepare the way for the extension of commerce and steam navigation upon the vast interior rivers of Ethiopia, and the de velopment of her valuable natural resources.
