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. Prom the National Intelligencer. 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. From the Railroad Journal. 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. • I _ w 5 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. John L. Sullivan. New. York, July 10, 1832.
