THE -AMBASSADOR FROM PITCAIRNS
ISLAND.
Messrs. Chambers, dEdinburgh, published a small
work about Pitesines Island, which was evidently writ-
ten from information derived i,pout a quarter of • cen-
tury singe. In it as Individual was described as having
landed as a stranger is the island, and who had endeavoured
to supplant John Adams, the patriarchal mutineer, who had
superintended the spiritual and temporal welfare of the
children of the other mutineers. This individual la spoken
of in the work alluded to most disparagingly u n usurp-
ing and illiterate personage. It is singular that this
is evidently the very person who has now arrived
la England, on a mission from the island, and
not only the credentials which he brings from the
bleeders, sad the siesaasetssee that he has been honoured
bass across the Pacific in a Queen's
ItptsVattrestai di despatches by the English admiral
in tho South Sea, prove him to be different from what ho is
represented in the work in question ; but all persons who
' have bad the pleasure of seeing him in Southampton have
pronounced the account to be • false nor. He is evidently
'en intelligent, kind, and openhearted man. To speak to
him you would imagine him a el periatendent of some
manufactory. He appears some such a man es the late
John Williams, the mechanic missionary ot the South Sea.
He landed at Pitcsirn's Island six months before John
Adams died; he therefore knew that very remarkable man,
and succeeded him es schoolmaster, minister of the tioepel,
and physician to one of the meet interesting colonies the
world perhaps ever saw. He describes the present descen-
dants of the mutineers, who form now the third and
fourth generation from t►em, as remarkable for their per-
sonal beauty, and for their evangelical religious principles.
The Sabbath is kept most reverentially. The Christian law
of marriage is scrupulouely observed by them, and the mar-
riage ceremony is nen of great solemnity. Their chief
magistrate is elected on the Ist of January of every year.
All persona, male and female, shove the age of Is vote at
the election. The largest amount of specie that was ever
on the island was 2LO dollars vuue. This was just about
the time when the intercourse first sprung up between
Australia and California. With this sum two large boats
were purchased. The boats, however, which the natives use
ordinarily for fishing are very small, and are carried about
on their shoulders. If they upset, no serious accident
ensue, as the islanders are all admirable swimmers. The
only animals on the island are fowlr, goats, and hogs. The
place is not large enough to rear animals of greater ruagni-
rude. Their agricultural implements are the spade and hoe.
If they could obtain • cession of Norfolk Island, it would
not be long, it is believed, before they would migrate
thither, ma they are anxious to grow wheat and rear her-
bivermas aoimsls. The inhabitants of Pitcairn's Island
are now subject to bilious disorders, which their envoy
thinks is owing to their subsisting so much on the sweet
potato. He has left the Oriental Hotel, Southampton,
■nd proceeded to London.
