On that'deep rc taring shore, Frequent pearls of beauly lie, ?Where the passion waves of yore Fiercely beat and monnted high : Sorrows that are sorrows still ?

Through tho golden mist of years ; Death, to those who trust iu good. Vin di oates his hardest blow; Ohl we would not lt'wo could Wake the sleep of long ago.

DU CHAIIXU, author of Explorations in tquatoriai Africa. With Map and Illustrations. New York: D. Appleton & Co., Broad? way, 1867. An the previous volume of the author has excit? ed a great deal of discussion in scientific and lit? erary circles, we will give a brief sketch of his life before we examine his new book. M. on CHAILLU was born in Paris, in 1832. He came to the. United States when quite a boy. From bis earliest youth he was devoted to studies of geog? raphy and natural history, and retained in vivid freshness, the dream, present, we believe, with almost every boy, of visiting, in after life, foreign lands and desert wilds. In October, 1855, at the age of twenty-three, he left New York on his first journey of exploration to Western Africa. With the enthusiasm natural to youth, he selected for the'scene of his labors a region where he had rea? son to supposVno white mau had preceded him. He travelled in tho immediate vicinity of the equa * tor, a distance bf some four hundred to five hun? dred miles. Travelling in those parts is attended with all but insuperable difficulties ; there being no beasts of borden whatever. The fall of rain there is at a rate entirely unknown in this part of the world ; according to our traveller's measure? ment two hundred and twenty-five inches in the twelve months ; the thermometer not unfrequently reaching lt? degrees. With such meteorological conditions we .need not say that the country is "sickly." M. uv CHAILLU had repeated attacks of African fever, and his strong constitution alone enabled him to brave such terrible hindrances to hm enterprise. He waa all the while surrounded exclusively by natives, not having been able to in? duce ? single white man to accompany him. Classical readers may remember that in the Periplus, or voyage of HANNO, the Carthagenian, written more than two thousand years ago, he makes allusion to the animal known as the gorilla. "On the third day," he says, "we came to a bay called the Hom of the South. In the recess was an island like the first, having a lake, and in this there was another island full of wild men. But ninon the greater part of them were women, with hairy bodies, whom the interpreters called goril? las. ? * * But pursuing them, we wore not able to take the men; they all escaped from us by their great agility, being cremnobales, that is to Bay, climbing precipitous rocks and tro es, and de? fending themselves oy throwing stones at us. Wo took' three women, who bit and tore those who caught them, and were unwilling to follow. Wo were obliged, therefore, to kill them, and take their skins off, which skins were brought to Car? thage, for we did not navigate farther, provisions becoming scarce." '.? It waa the perusal of these traditions, coupled with, the reports current among the negroes of the coast, that led iL nu CHAILLU to venture upon this danger ons journey into the interior. The dis? coveries which he made then amply rewarded him for he perils which he encountered. In ornitho? logy he added upwards of sixty new species to tho existing classifications, and to that of quadrupeds more than thirty, among which were three new varieties of apea. On getting to the headwaters : of the Ntam bonnay, abo ut five thousand feet above the level of the sea, he made his first acquaintance with" the gorilla. We cannot do better than to give the account of the meeting in his own words: , . Suddenly, as wo were creeping along in a silence which made a heavy breath seem loud and dis? tinct, the woods were at once filled with the tremendous barking roar of the gorilla. Then the underbrush swayed rapidly just ahead, and presently* before ns stood an immense male gorilla. He had gone through the jungle on his all-fours, bat when he saw our party he erected himself and look od os boldly in the face. He stood abbat a dozen yards from ns, and was a sight I think I shall never forget. Nearly six feet high (he proved -four in:hes shorter), with immense body,' huge chest, and great muscular arms, with fiercely glaring large, deep gray eyes, ands hollian expression of face, which seemed to me some nightmare vision; thus stood before us this king of the'African forest. He was not afraid of us. He stood there and beat his breast with his huge fists, till it resounded, like an immense bass drum, ; which is their mode of offering defiance, meantime giving vent to roar after roar. ;. ; This monster M. DU CHA?LXO shot, and the body when measured proved to be five feet eight inches in height, sixty-two inches round the chest, and nine feet from the extremity of one outstretched arm to thc other. He subsequently killed on this trip, twenty-one of these creatures, the measure? ment of ;one of which proved to be larger than that vre have just given. The skins and skeletons were brought to this country, and were exhibited for a short time in New York and Boston. Strange to say, they elicited bat very little interest, except among a few of our scientific men. They were then taken to England, where they created a great sensation, and M. DO CHATJULU became one of the lio^sof the day. This difference of appreciation of the importance of these discoveries in the two coun? tries ca? only be accounted for hythe publication of his first book, " Adventures in Equatorial Afri? ca," which made its appearance shortly after his arrival in London. ' Even in England and in Germany there wero persons not disposed to accept them as facts, and violent controversies followed in regard to them. Men-of high scientific reputation, however, such as Professor OWEN, Sir RODERICK MUBCB?SON, and Professor- ALLMAN, of Edinburgh, manfully stood by M. DU CHAILLU, and maintained by incontrover? tible geological and anatomical analogies the pro? bable correctness of his statements. A few disco? veries subsequently made by Captain BUBTON and other travellers on the same section of the African coast served to corroborate their truthfulness. But not satisfied that there should remains particle of doubt on facts so important, M. DE CHAILLU prepared himself for a second journey of exploration. The better to qualify himself for it, he applied himself to the study of astronomy, and also made himself acquainted with the manage? ment of photographic instruments. After three years thus spent, part being passed in tho United States, and part in England, for the advantages of the British Museum, he left London for the coast of Africa on the 6th of August, 18G3. There being np commercial intercourse with tho point for which lie was bound, the Fernand Voz, which hes ono hundred and ten miles to tho south of the equator, be had to specially freight a vessel for tho expe? dition. In disembarking on the coast he met with a disaster in the upsetting of a canoe, by which ho lost all his chronometers and other valuablo scien? tific instruments. By this accident the object of his Journey was delayed fer upwards of oight months, daring which he waited for the arrival from England of another set of instruments, which had to oe dispatched to him by a vessel again char? tered for the purpose. It is but right to add that in those two expeditions M. DU CHAILLU received no aid from any quarter. Thoy wero undertaken at his individual expense, and whatever advantage may have accrued from them to the interests of science he is entitled to the solo credit of. The volume before us now gives us tho results of this second journey. Among those who have attacked the accuracy of M. D? Chaillu's former publication, is Mr. W. Win? wood Reade, a nephew of Charles Reade, tho novelist This gentleman, in the interval between the two journeys of M. Du Chaillu, m ado a visit to Equatorial Africa, w'th the express purpose, as it appears, of de termini ug for himself tho veracity of M. Du Chailla's accounts of the gorilla, a? well as of other remarkable statements. Mr. Reade has lately published in the "Galaxy" some caustic strictures upon the subject of the gorilla, and also with regard to'tho extent of Do Chailla's travels toto the interior. Even he, however, admits tho ocrrectness of the statements of our traveller in other particulars. M. nu CHAILLU, in the present work, from better information, frankly admits some errors in his former account, with reference to geographical questions, and the habits of tho gorilla, but stout? ly maintains the general accuracy of his earlier statements. One of tho most extraordinary of these-that respecting the harp composed of vege? table fibre-has been confirmed beyond thc possi? bility of doubt or cavil. Upon the whole, we do not seo any reason to doubt the general accuracy and houeety of M. DU CHAILLU'S statements. Mr. READE'S strictures aro based mainly upon information derived from tho natives, whom he admits to bo false and unreliable. If, as he charges, they lied to AT. DU CHAILLU, it is just us reasonable, to believe that they lied te Mr. READE. Some allowance may of course be made for tho natural tendency of tho travoller to oxnggorale, aud for the imperfections of second-hand informa? tion. But, after all those allowances, enough re? mains to mako M. Du Chaillu's adventures among thc most interesting of all the records of modem travel. After a lifo of such constant adventuro and poril it is but natural that ho should desire repose. Ha accordingly returns to the United States with the intention of permanently settling hore A courso of lectures, says the Herald, from M. DD CDAILLU would form a worthy eoqucl to thoso of Professor AGASSIZ, could ho bc induced to emerge from tho retirement which ho seems to covet. In England his lectures wcro extremely popular, being delivered in a lively conversational stylo, and illustrated by interesting drawings and diagrams. Li appearance M. DD CHAILLD is below the mid? dle height, of slight build and with a stoop in the shoulders. His French origin exhibits itself in his features, a::d also betrays itself in his accent. He has a restless, nervous manner, brought on, no doubt, by his constant watchfulness in thc jungle, a clear penetrating eye, and a Drank cordiality of expression. Ho speaks of this country as thu laud of bis choice, and has some idea of sot cling out We3t. For a large part of the facts in thc above sketch of M. DU CHAILLU we are indebted to tho Mew ?ork Herald. The volume beforo us is profusely il? lustrated, and altogether as interesting a book of travels as could weil fail into the bauds of either enthusiastic school boy or older and more sober inquirer after ethnographic knowledge.

Our factors have found it moro difficult to monago business than ever bet?re, and our buyers, with their best laid plans for profits, hove met with sad disappointment. Though now that there is a reasonable hope that the threatenings of war tn Europe are over, we look for a reaction in p?l? ete, and a remunerativo trade to manufactories. Though while wo have this hope for better trade, wedonotlOok for very high prices, and would suggest, that as the de? mand will warrant it, it would bo beet to realize by the sale of cotton now on hand, to the end that the money eo locked up might bo put in circulation, and m a great degree relieve tho pressing necessities of tho planting community. Tho wea thor has been again favorable, and prospects are cheering, only marred by want of supplies, and which circumstance is much more extensivo than many suppose. Mobile Market.

Under these circumstances tho sales were quite limited, aggregating at thc close barely 1400 bales, eight brokers participating in tho business.
