MOST liOlt 11UJL.E CANNIBALISM IN' NEW*
ZEALAND.
The Tasmanian Journal (published in Hobart
Town,) of the ‘2lst January last, contains a nar
rative of some truly terrific scenes, related to
the Ivlitor of that paper hy a highly respectable
and intelligent eye-witness, Captain Briggs.
About the middle of last year, Capt. Briggs arri
red in the Dragon, at New Zealand, and found
that a great deal of animosity existed between j
two savage tribes, one of which was commanded
hy a chief called the Marinewie, and the other
by two chiefs called the Rubulloh, and the Hecho.
On Capt. Briggs’ arrival, the two la ter chief- '
t tins “endeavoured (says the Tasmanian Journal)
to induce him to accompany them in an expedi
tion which they had been for some time prepar
ingagamst the Marinewie. Capt. Briggs, liowcv.
or, peremptorily refused to be associated in the
horrid enterprise. Not so the commander of an
other British vessel, which happened to arrive
just then upon a trading voyage. She was a
fine brig of 300 tons, whose name, and that of
the commander, we forbear, for the present, to
insert. The two chiefs agreed with this person,
that his ship should convey them and their people
to the country of the Marinewie, whero the war
was carried on to utter extermination. On the
‘-'2d of Oct. of the last year, the expedition sailed;
there was a fine fleet of war canoes, and two
chiefs, with about one hundred picked warriors,
on hoard the English brig. Capt. Briggs remain
ed at the anchorage, procuring, by the usual
nvans of barter, a cargo for his vessel. On the
11 th of Nov. the expedition returned, having
been entirety successful. The Marinewie had
been taken by surprise, his whole people destroy
ed, except such as fled into the interior, beyond
the reach of pursuit, and himself, his wife, and
his daughter, a beautiful girl of 15 taken prison
crs. The captain of the English vessel stated
that, on their arrival at the Bank’s Harbour,
the Eocho and the Robulloh had caused all their
people to conceal themselves below ; that the
Marinewie sent immediately on board to negoti
ate for the trading, which he of course supposed
was the object of the Englishman’s arrival. The
trade commenced, and the Marinewie, not suspec
ting the fate which awaited him, went himself
on board. After he had been seated in the cabin
a short time, the Heclio and Rohullob jumped
upon him, from their place of concealment, as i
did their people upon all those who had attend
ed him on board, and, seizing him by the hair,
explained to him his situation.
“The scene which followed is too dreadful to
describe. During the night, the Robulloh, the
Ilecho, and their men landed from the ship, and
having succeeded in capturing the wife & daugh
ter of the Marinewie, they sent them on board, &
a work of death ensued, utterly unspeakable or
indescribable, for the horrible cruelties which
were perpetrated. The whole population of the
place who did not escape were killed, except ab
out fifty, reserved to be taken back to bo sacrific
ed at the bloody feast of triumph which awaited
their return. At day light in tire morning, the
victors were actively employed in cutting up,
and preparing for the steam kettle, the dead
bodies of the slaughtered victims of the night.
The crow of the vessel described the horrors
which they witnessed as beyond every- thing
droadtul. The whole of the day was occupied
in salting and packing in baskets heads and bo
dies to be conveyed back.
“ On the 11th November, in the morning, the;
brig having arrived with her cargo of human
flesh, living and dead, at about 11 A. M.
prisoners were landed and ranged, seated on the I
beach ; their conquerors having brought on shore;
in baskets, the salted bodies of the victims of their ;
ferocity. Each basket is of sufficient size to (
hold a human body cut up into pieces ; of these!
there were, according to Capt. Briggs’calcula-j
tion, about one hundred. The war dance then!
commenced. It is the most frightful method ofj
rejoicing of which the human mind can convey j
to itself any idea. The warriors entirely nak-j
ed—their long black hair, although malted wi’hi
human gore, yet flowing partially in the wind j
—in the left hand a human head—in the right a
bayonetted musket, held by the middle of the j
barrel. Thus with a song the terrible exprcs-|
sion of which can only be imagined bv being
heard, did they dance round their wretched
victims—every now and then again approaching 1
them with gestures threatening death under itsjj
most horrible form of lingering torture. But |
they did not inflict it. None of them were kill- |
ed.—All were apportioned, among the conquer- :
iag warriors, as slaves, one old man and a *
little boy excepted, who wore sentenced to be
sacrificed to their demon of vengeance. The
feast was then prepared, at which these two
victims were to be killed and eaten. It con
sisted of about one hundred baskets of potatoes,
and a sort «f green vegetable of delicious flav
our, and equal quantities of whale blubber and ‘
human flesh. Ever}' thing being arranged, the
poor old man was brought forth horribly accou
tred for death, having affixed round his neck the
head of his son, whose body formed part of the
infernal banquet then exhibited. Here, for the
first time, to the disgrace of the female character,
: a few women appeared. Some few, wives or
mothers, whose husbands, or whose sons had
been in their turn killed and eaten, approached
the poor old man and plucking the hair of his
head, pricking him with the teeth of some fish or
other animal, inflicted upon him every possible
bodily torture, while the inventions of the de
, moniacal country men were doing their utmost
to agonize his mind. Capt. Briggs, who wit
nessed all this, determined to save this man’s life
and that of the boy, who was also to be sacrific
ed, if such could be done by either force or
! price.
The boy was brought forth to die. A man
had the axe extended over his head, and was ab
-1 out to cleave it in twain, when Captain Briggs,
,at a hazard which maybe easily understood,
I seized him, and by threats and entreaties, the
1 risk of which at such a time, he cannot now con-
I template without shuddering, obtained the life of
the boy altogether, and that of the old man for
the time! The next day he was taken to an
other place, whero his doom was sealed with
every circumstance of horror and atrocity. The
boy still lives. Capt. Briggs paid the ransom of
his life in muskets and gunpowder. He convey,
cd him in safety ;o his ship, and he is now hero,
in Hobart Town, gratefully acknowledging his
obligation to the worthy man who saved him
trom death.
Cleaning* from the Memoirs of Marie Antoinette.
TRANSLATED FOR THE NEW-YORK MIRROR.
The conflagration of the scaffolds intended
for fireworks for the celebration of the marri
age of Louis XVI. is generally known. A
rnidst the distracted multitude pressing on every
side, trampled under the horses’ feet, precipitat
, cd into tho ditches of the Rue Royale and the
square, was a young man, with a girl with
whom he was in love. She was beautiful ; their
attachment had lasted several years ; pecunia
ry causes had delayed their union ; but the fol
lowing day they were to be married. For a
long time the lover, protecting his mispress,
keeping her behind him, covering her with his
own person, sustained her strength and courage.
But the tumult, the cries, the terror, and peril,
every moment increased. “1 am sinking,” she
said; “my strength fails—l can go no further.”
“ There is yet away,” cried the lover, in des
pair ; “ got on my shoulders.” Ho feels that
his advice has been followed, and the hope of
saving her whom he loves, redoubles his ardour
and strength. He resists the most violent con
cussions : with his arms firm!}' extended before
his breast, ho with difficulty forces his way
through the crowd : at length ho clears it. Ar
rived at one of the extremities of the place,
having set down his precious burdien, faltering,
exhausted, fatigued to death, but intoxicated
with joy, he turns round ; it was a different
person ! another, more active, had taken ad
vantage of his recommendation ; hid beloved
was no more!
The empress Maria Theresa was left a wi.
dow at an ago when her beauty was yet strik
inur. She was secretly informed of a scheme
projected by her three principal ministers, to
make themselves agreeable to her ; of a com
pact made between them, that the losers should
not suffer i homselves to bo infected with any
feeling ot jealousy towards him who should bo
fortunate enough to gain his sovereign’s heart;
and they had sworn that the successful one
should bo always the friend and support of the
i other two. The empress, being well assured of
this fact, one day, alter the breaking up of the
council over which she had presided, turned the
conversation upon the subject of women, female
sovereigns, and the duties of their sex and rank ;
and then applying her general reflections o her
self in particular, she told them she hoped to
guard herself all her life against weaknesses of
the heart; but that if ever an irresistible feel
ing should make her alter her resolution, it
should be only in favour of a man proof against
ambition, not engaged in state affairs, accus om
ed and attached onl}' to a private life, and its
calm enjoyments—in a word, if her heart should
betray her, so far as to lead her to love a man
invested with any important office, from the mo
ment he should discover her sentiments, he
should be contented to resign his place and his
influence with the public. This was sufficient:
the three ministers, more ambitious than gal
lant, gave up their projects for ever.
Franklin appeared at court in the dress of an
American cultivator. His straight unpowder
cd hair, his round hat, his brown cloth coat,
formed a contrast with the laced and embroider
ed coats, and die powdered and perfumed heads
of the courtiers of Versailles. This novelty
turned the enthusiastic heads of the French wo.
men. Elegant entertainments were given to
Dr. Franklin, who to tho reputation of "a natur
al philosopher, added the patriotic virtues which
had invested him with the noble character of an
apostle ol liberty. At one of these entertain
menrs, the most beautiful woman out of three ■
hundred, was selected to place a crown of lau
rels upon the white head of the American philo
sopher, and two kisses upon his cheeks. When
the news ol his death arrived in Paris, in 1790, i
a society of printers met in an apartment of the
Cordeliers convent, to celebrate a funeral festi
val in honor of the American philosopher. His
bust was elevated upon a column in the middle
of t’ne room. Upon the head was placed a ci
i vie crown; below the bust were compositor’s
; cases, a press, and other emblems of the art
i which the sage had cultivated. While one prin
j ter was pronouncing an eulogium upon Frank
■lin, workmen were printing it ; and the speech,
i composed and pulled oil' as fast as uttered, was
copiously distributed among the spectators bro’t
together by this entertainment.
■■
During tho American war, a general officer
in the service of the United States, advanced!
i with a score of men under the English batte-|
tries to reconnoitre their position. His aid-de-f
• camp, struck by a ball, foil at his side# The
. >fficers and orderly dragoons fled precipitately.
> The general, though under the fire of the can
; non, approached the wounded man to see whe
ther he had any signs of life remaining, or whe
. ther any help could be afforded him. Finding
■ the wound had been mortal, he turned his eyes
1 away with emotion, and slowly rejoined the
1 group which hud got out of the reach of the
> pieces. This instance of courage and humani
ty took place at the battle of Monmouth. Gen.
i Clinton, who commanded the English troops,
knew that the Marquis de la Fayette generally
; rode a white horse ; it was upon a white horse
that the general officer, who retired so slowly,
■ was mounted : Clin’on desired the gunners not
to fire. This noble forbearance probably saved
■ M. de la Fayette’s life, for it was he himself.
At that time lie was but twenty-two years of age.

NORTIM AROLIXA GOLD DISCOVERIES.
Among the numerous discoveries of localities
■ of gold in the State of North-Carolina, few have
been more calculated to excite the interest of the
public than the one which has lately been found
in Franklin county, about 48 miles south of the
\ irgiuia boundary line, and within a few miles of
the mail route between Petersburg and Raleigh.
The tract in which it is contained is situated on
a small spring branch, about one mile from its
confluence with Fishing Creek, and comprised in
about twenty acres, including the hilly sides of the
valley; but as the limits of this deposi.e are not
precisely determined, it is probable that it may
be much more extensive. We are led to this con
clusion from the fact that only within a few weeks
since a lump of the ore was ploughed up in an
adjoining field, which yielded upwards of S6O of
! pure gold.
The metal occurs in small particles, mingled j
with the alluvial soil of the valley, iO the depth!
of from two to six feet, and resting upon a s'ra-j
turn of hard silicious rock of a blue color, in!
which no ore has, as yet, been discovered ; but!
it remains doubtful whether the experiments
made upon it have produced a correct analysis :
but several detached rocks found on ihe lull with
in about 200 yards of the mine, have been found
to contain ore.
Fragments of utensils were found embedded*
in the stratum of rock several feet below tile sur
face ot the soil, which have led some to suppose
they were the fragments of earthen bowls which
; might have been used by the aborigines for the
purpose of washing the ore.
We are not aware how longsince this discov
cry was made, but great credit is due to the ex
ertions of two enterprising gentlemen, (the
Messrs. Plummer,) who have rented the land of
Mr. Porter, the proprietor, for a certain term,
under a contract that they should incur all the
incidental expenses of the mining, and allow him
one ihird ot the proceeds. The lessees com
menced their labors early daring the last sum.
rnor, and have the mine at this time in active and
profitable operation, with a prospect of being
richly rewarded for their enterprise. Although
they undertook it under the moat unfavorable
auspices, and employed but rude machinery at
first; the product was, nevertheless, said to have
been about five or six thousand dollars for the
first mon’h—the number of persons employed
being about 32 men, and 2or 3 boys. More re
cently, however, the average amount per hand
is said to exceed sl2 per day.
If results like these have been produced with
such limited means, we may be said to have re
alized a new EJ Dorado in North America, and
it would be surprising to calculate the revenue
that might accrue from an improvement in those
means which are now used in collecting the ore,
. ihe amount gathered depends upon the quanti
ty of earth washed per day, which must necessa
rily be limited, on account of the inconsiderable
supply of water furnished by the small stream
above mentioned, which is only sufficient to keep
two cradles (or ore-washers) in operation at one
time.
It is probable that much more profitable re
sults than these might he obtained by the intro
duction of proper machinery, which, it is pie
sumed, will be resorted to.
W ithin a few months past a very extensive
bed of ore has been discovered on the estate of
Mr. Martin, about 20 miles below the former,
on the main branch of Fishing Creek. Though
not rich as the one we have described, yet being
of greater extent, and affording greater facilities
for washing the ore, it is probable that it may
prove advantageous.
We have heard of several other localities of
gold in the neighborhood of this region, but they
have, not proved so productive as the one in
question, and are generally abandoned after
working them for a short time. The proprietor
ot this, Mr. Porter, is a plain, worthy citizen,
who has spent all his life between the humble
occupations of shoe-making and delving the un
fertile surface of his soil, unconscious that it con
tained within its bosom, sands ofPactolean rich-!
ness. Os him a characteristic anecdote is re-1
latcd. When the old man was presented with
his share of the first month’s profits, he is said:
to have exclaimed with great bon hornmie and!
simplicity, “ Well, now ! I have all my life worn
• shoes made on one last ; but now, I shall be a-;
ble to have a last *o fit each toot.” This is one'
ofthe best illustrations of the old adage, “ ne
sutor ultra crepidam” that we have heard, and
j verifies the saying, that “after all, wealth is I
( hut a relative thing, since he that has little and.
wants less, is richer than he that has much and!
wants more; therefore, should our incomes be;
ever like our shoes—if too small they will galii
and pinch us, but if too large they will cause us
to stumble and to trip.”
From the Charleston Southern Patriot.
M e take pleasure in laying before our readers!
the following statement of the progress alreadvi
!made towards the completion of the Rail Road!
between this city and Hamburg, and feel much!
gratified to observe, that the whole work will most!
prooably be completed by the frst January next, j
The Rail Road. —'The is team Cars travel dai-'
i ly, twice regularly, and an extra trip, if pas-1
I sengers offer, to Summerville, 21£ miles— be
lyond which the work progresses rapidly.
'! The mile beyond Summerville is nearly com. ■
pleted, and ready for travelling ; the next mile is
now capping and railing, with a force of 38 men,
including carpenters ; beyond that the succeed
ing mile is all capped, and about half the rails on,
with all the timber ready : tho next two miles are
: wholly finished. The distance thence to the
; Cypress Swamp, miles, being mostly on
sleepers, has all the ground sills, and cross pieces
: down, and but about five days work of piling to
join the Cypress contract, which, however for
midable it has hitherto appeared, is now piled
throughout, and the capping and railing going
on briskly. The next 3£ miles will be finished
in about 4 weeks ; the Four Hole Swamp is pil
ed through, and the Carpenter’s work going on
rapidly : five miles thence upwards are finished
and ironed ; the succeeding 9 miles want but ab
;ou! 1000 ft. of rails to be completed : & the next
I Contracts, to the Edisto arc in a state which will
I render their completion certain by the 10th of
September. On all these Contracts, the hands,
jas they finish below, are sent up, so as to ex
pedite the work. The whole is under Contract
I to persons belonging to the State, and mostly re
isiding on the line, employing a force of near
900 hands, independent of horses and teams
employed by the Contractors, The Bridge a
crossthe Edis-o, which is 95 miles from town, has
all the abutments piled, and the timber has been
ready since Jan. lasi—it is to be 90 feet span,
and supported by one arch; the Carpenter’s
work of which is now going on. The first 4
miles beyond the Edisto are now ready for the
iron: and the ten miles in succession thence are
j rapidly progressing. These, with the next 50
j miles, are under contract to Messrs. Gray, who
j have on the same, with their Sub-contractors, a
j very large force, anti a Steam Mill, togetiier with
’numerous Saw Mills, propelled by waterpower.
! Their work is in a very advanceds ate, and from
.the perusal of several repor s of recent da r e,
I: there is a very great probability of the whole be
lling completed by the Ist of January next. On
i the 35 miles nearest An is a, a force equal to
j j 520 m: n were employed on he 2ist inst. and|
{accessions making daily to the laborers: on the
iother 35 miles 400 men are employed. The
I work of the inclined plane will all be so far com.
j pleted by the Ist of January, as to be ready for i
| the machinery, winch is now in progress of con
'istruction.
A largo number of axles made of faggotted i
iron, arc now waiting transportation from New
i; \ ork, together with wheels • and there are as i
! many preparing at Eason Dotterek’s, as
j their works can finish.
The receipts from passengers have for the last
13 weeks, averaged S2OO per week, independent
ol the conveyance of iron and other materials for
the use of the Company.

Notice of a new form of Steam Boat for shallow and
rapid rivers.
Hitherto Steam power >a navigation has been
applied principally to large vessels on tide waters
and lakes, but now it begins to be employed on;
small rapid rivers. Mr. Thomas Blanchard, well!
known as a practical mechanician, has invented!
a new form of Steamboat for this purpose. 1 lis'■
method of building the hull permits the wheel]
to be placed at the stem, where it acts morel
(effectually ban at the sides, but in such manner!
I that the hull is made peculiarly strong and stiff'
jby means of a frame of vertical axles on ihe ex
tremities of which tiie wheel is hung. The two
i cylinders are placed in a horizontal position, at
I the sides, co-operating. The frames also sus
jtain the Boilers. The whole fabric is thus firm,
Strong and light.
j The first and second boat ran on Connecticut
i River between Hartford and Springfield, in
I which passage she ascends Enfield falls, where
tne perpendicular descent is above 30 feet in 3
miles, and in one place there is a full of at once 3
feet in a short distance.
The fulls here are indeed considerable enough
to have occasioned the construction of a Canal
around them, but Blanchard’s Steamboat passes
up the rapid half an hour sooner than a Steambo
at that goes through the Canal. She runs from
Hartford toSpringfieldia4 hours, about 32 miles;
and runs down in two hours.
_ Since this has been in operation, one on the
Kennebec has been built, to run from Gardiner
to Watervillc, up difficult rapids, and passed
through between tho piers of Augusta bridge
I (while the great freshet was subsiding this spring)
|in the presence ot thousands who were assem
bled to witness ihe struggle.

But the most interesting instance is that of the
Alleghany, ns relates tn the trade of New. York
direct with the valley of the Ohio and Mississippi;
and as relates to the proposed Railroad from this
city to the Lake, touching on the head of naviga
tion on tho Alleghany at Hamilton.
This kind of boat might indeed vie with any
other on any route. The same arrangements
relate to a small or a large Steamboat. This
has however the peculiarity of a* better impusle,
and better adaptation to shallow waters. Blan
chard’s Boat, and his appartus for lifting and!
pushing forward over shoals by the power of
steam, will apply to many ofour rivers.
By an arrangemen with the Inventor of this
improvement, Companies desirous of its use will
make their application to the subscriber.

the public generally, that this hotel, with an extensive
range of stables, are now finished in the best style for
jthe reception oi those who will honor the proprietors
with their company. This establishment stands on the
site ot the old City Hotel on Broad-street, and in point of
commodiousness, with the many recent improvements
(such as bells numbered and corresponding with each
room, Ac. &.c.) renders it superior to any in the South

the Bteam.boat Wharf and to the point of active business
in the City. It, is customary with proprietors in giving
such information to the public, to extol and render as con
spicuously as possible their establishment. However,
ot their own services and the general accommodation
they shall say nothing, leaving them to speak for them
selves. It is due their friends to say, that no personal
exertions or expense shall be spared to render their visi
