CANNIBAL EXPERIENCES.—treat battles are very
numerous, a fortnight never clams without one. My in-
formant said " He could not rightly tell what they fought
for—he did not think they knew themselves—they could
not he at peace." In these fights, between two and three
hundred will engage on either aide; the scene of the battle
ie usually laid in the woods, aad the combatants dodge to
end fro among the trees. None like to finite, themselves
fully, the whiz of a bullet immediately frightens them, and
causes them to drop upon the ground. In comet-pieties of
till this caution, the contests ere often prolonged over from
one to three days, and it rarely happens that more than four
or five are killed cn either side. They sometimes, but
seldom, come to close quarters, when they fight with their
muskets clubbed. As soon as a few men are killed, the
losing side withdraws, the victims are then conveyed to their
village by the conquerors, the fancy" parts of their bodies
are devoted to the gods, the rest is cooked and eaten by the
men. The warriors do not appear to have much sense of
honour; fur the strong tribes constantly make war upon
the weak, and two or three tribes new lied then suspend
their own quarrels to make more effective war upon a
fourth. In misequenco of this spirit, many tribes are now
almost exterminated, and do nit include more than twenty
or thirty men. All the people speak one language, so that
en union might be easily effected if the temper of the people
changed.—Diesenee " llousehord Words."
LONDON ANTIQUITIES.—The small but interesting
collection of antiquities, reamed by the late Edward Bedford
price, Egg.. F.S.A.. was yesterday dispo ed of by auction by
Messrs. Puttiek and Simpson, of Piccadilly. The collection
consisted chiefly of objects found in the progress of demo-
litions and excavations which have taken place in the City
of London, and presented mat.), examples of pottery,
utensils, and metal work, illustrative of the manners and
habits of our ancestors, and of the state of the useful arts
in their time. It is matter of considerable regret that
such a collection should not Lave been purchased entire,
or a judicious selection made from it for the City of Lon-
