It is now upwards of four years since in telligence reached Europe of the discovery "of snowy mountains in Eastern Africa The discovery was in itself so remarkable, that the report, appearing as :t did in rath er an unscientific dress, did not at first gain universal credence. It was, however, sub sequently confirmed by repeated j'larnoys in that region. It need scarcely be added, that the mountains here alluded to are Kilimanjaro and Kenia, discovered by the (missionaries- Rebmann and Crapf, station ed at Rabbia Ernpia. near Mombus. Kil imanjaro lies in about 3 1 J2 degrees south latitude and 37 degrees east longitude, and about 160 geographical miles wcs:-i.onli-w est from Moinbas; and is an isolated, very conspicuous peak, somewhat like Mount Ararat probably connected, on its western side wiih the table land of Inner Africa. The missionaries have become acquainted with its eastern, southern a;.d northern aspects; whereas the other peak. .Mount Kenia, has been seen only from the south at a distance of six days' journey or about SO geographical miles. It lies in about 1 degree south latitude and 38 1-2 degrees east longitude. Whether it forms an isolated peak, similar to Kilimanjaro, or is connncted with other mountains in the north, remained unknown to Dr. Krapf. Though the existence of snow in the tropical regions of Eastern Africa is a fea ture of great geographical interest, that re gion would even without snow, be still of the same geographical and commercial importance. Of the vast-unknown interior of Africa, the portion immediately to the west of the snowy mountains under consi deration is probably the most interesting, us comprising the heads of the Nile and other large rivers, the famous Mountains of the Moon, and, in short the very nucleous of those geographical phenomena which, from the days of the builders of the Pyra mids down to the present time, have been questions of exciting intcrest--as little solved now as in the age of Ptolemy. Travellers endeavoring to penetrate from Abyssinia or from Nubia up the ZVilc, from Lake Tschad, or the western coasts, have found insurmountable obstacles It has been either the great distance, the nature of the climate, or the character of the in habitants, which offered those obstacles. Even that fearless and successful traveller, Dr. Barth, found his means insufficient to undertake the journey towards that region ; for'to him the chief and almost only diffi culty was. to force his way beyond the border territory of the Pagans, who consi der those coming from the neighboring Mahommedan States as their bitterest ene mies and this required a greater number of persons than were at his disposal. The coast of Zanzibar offers, indeed, the most accessible and advantageous points to reach that interesting region A jour ney to Mouul Kilimanjaro is alone worthy the highest ambition of any explorer. Such a journey can scarcely be called more than a pleasant trip in these da-s of rapid loco motion, and is not beyond the means of private persona. It reduces itself into two portions from Southampton via Aden to Mombas, and from Mombas a further dis tance equal to that from London to the mountains of Wales. Mombas is easily reathed, with little outlay, and in a short space of time. From Mombas, Kiliman jaro many be reached in eight or ten days without any unusual danger or great exer tion. Surely, if the missionaries have trav elled that distance repeatedly, armed with nothing but "an umbrella," professional travellers, well eqnipprd, may very easily accomplish the same feat ; and when it is considered, as Sir Roderick Murchison has declared, '-that the adventurous traveller who shall first lay down the true position of these equatorial snow mountains will be jusily considered among the greatest bene factors of this age to geographical science," it must be a matter of surprise that no one has yet come forward to undertake the journej', were it but to gain the laurels so readily and temptingly offered. Thechar .actcr of the inhabitants seems far more fa vorable in their conduct to travellers than in other parts of Africa : and as to the cli male'from the experience of the missionaries it must be exceedingly favorable. When approaching towards Kilimanjaro, the fine bracing air recalled to the missionaries that of Switzerland ; and Krapf mentions that of the climate of Usambara, a country near the sea, where another missionary station was in progress of being founded, was fine as that of Shoa. Indeed, the sojourn of the missionaries in Mombas (now upwards of six years) seems to have been connected with less difficulty than their previous travels in Abyssinia and Shoa ; than which there is no other part of tropical Africa which has of late been visited by so many explorers the namber of European trav ellers in Abyssinia within forty years being no less than forty two. The immense fields opened out by the missionaries to the west of Mombas is worthy the attention alike cf the scientific man bent on geogra phical discovery, and of the ordinary tour ist thirstingor novel adventure. The Ima um of Muscat, under whose dominion are the coasts of Jftanzibar, is very kind to Eu ropeans, and particularly to the English. In fine, such a joorney as proposed would be of the highest interest and importance, whether to borrow the words of Dr. Beke, who has so much exerted himself in this cause 'as concerns the solution of a geo graphical problem wliich has in all ages been deemed worthv of the attention of princes not less than of philosophers, or whether as regards the opening of a por tion of Africa which enjoys a climate" of a character directly opposite to that of the unhealthy regious on the western ; coast, and which is inhabited by millions of i'Our fellow creatures who appear to be far more fitted to receive the blessings of Christian civilzation than those hi most other parts of that vast continent 7 London Antkmerttr. A young lady, at breakfast, usUed a gen tleman to hand fur the '-fieri Irnii." pointing to a plate off eggs. The gentleman sugges ted "Shanghai b( rries," a a moie laslidious term.

Smith has for many years devotedhis whole attention lo the treatment ot Privaiei'om pluims, in all their varied and complicated forms. His great success in those long standing and diffi cult cases, such as were niuiiv considered incur able, is sufficient to commend him to the public as worthy of the extensive ptronuge he has received. Within the lat eight years, Dr. S. has treated more than 29,500 eases of Private Complaints, in their different forms and stages; a practice which no doubt exceeds that of atl other physician now ad vertising in Baltimore, and not a single esse' is known ventre his directions were strictly followed, and medicines taken at reasonable time, without effecting a radical and permanent cure ; therefore, persons afflicted with diseases of the above nature, 'no in liter how difficult or long standing the case may be," would do well to cull un Dr. Smith ,at his office. No, 16, South Frederick Suand if noifice tually relieved no remuneration will be required for his services. His medicines are tree lrom Mercury and all mineral poisons ; put up in a neat and com pact form, and may be taken in a public or piivate house, or while travelling, without exposure or hin drance from business and except incases of vio ent inflammation, no change of diet is necessary. STRIC i'U RES. Dr. Smith has disioveicd a new methud by which he can cure the worst form of stricture and that without pain or inconvenience to the patient.
