" And thrice he slew the slain."

"When Capt. Seddon., the commander of a merchant yes-
eel, was in the Ray of Islands, he had this chief bound with
ropes in his cabin, suspecting him to have stolen an auger that
was missing; but Kos ra-kurra became outrageously indig-
nant at such treatment, and despising his fetters, instantly
broke them in pieces. Ills next step was to knock down the
Captain, altar, Jumping out of the cabin window, he swam to
his canoe, from whence he darted a spear at the ship, and
wounded one of the sailors. Seddons fired at the same in
stant, but fortunately missed him, at which he was afterwards
well pleased, for it appeared. on fm titer inquiry, that his sus-
picions were ill founded, and that this man had not been
guilty of the offence which was imputed to him. Korra.kurra
related the whole circumstance to us himself, accompanying
his nail ation with many gestures expressive of his mode of
escape and being shot at; and in all these he evinced the
same filliOUS impetuosity that lie displayed in the war eabibi.

While off the North Cape, the vessel was visited by
several chiefs in their canoes, who, on being informed
of the purport of the voyage, expressed great satisfac-
tion, and offered to receive any of the Missionaries
among them, and afford them every protection. Of the
people, Mr. Nicholas observes :

" Though I had often seen New Zealanders before I ap-
proached their coast, I never thought it likely they could be
so fine a lace of people as I now found them. In their per-
sons they generally ruse above the middle stature, some were
even six feet and upu arils, and all their limbs were remark-
able for per fect sy linnet ry and great muscular strength. Their
countenances, with few exceptions, were pleasing and intelli•
gent, and had none of those indications of ferocity which the
imagination naturally attributes to cannibals. They displayed,
on the contrary, strong tokens of good 1141 sire and tender
feeling, and I thought I could trace lu many of thLni, some of-
the finest evidences of human sympathy. Though too often
ill•treated by Europeans. they spewed not the least distrust
of coining among us, and I could wish to ascuibe it to any
other cause than lite weir inivulse of eituiubisy."
While the ship lay off Wangerosa, Mr. Marsden and
ethers went on shore for the purpose of having an in-
terview with one of the chiefs named George; this
man, like Duaterra, had served on board some English
whalers, where he doubtless had been given the :Above
name ; but in person as well as manners, he was the
very opposite of his countryman : his o,l,lin:flame was
unsightly, and betrayed a malignant heart ; and his

a numher of passengers on board, intending to touch

George and another new Zealander had agreed to work
their passage lame from Port Jackson ; his story was as
follows :

" It happened, he said, however, that lie WAS taken so ill
hi lose Ii during the vos age, as to be titles ly incapable of doing
his duty : which the Captain slot brlivviitg to be the ease, and

to their tuants and scurrilities, and they persecuted bin:, he
said, in every possible way they could devise.

" Such treatment, it will readily be snpposed, must have

lily. lint a stronger Cilcunistattee than this, louts me to sup.
pose that (ie•orge hail determined on his horrid purpose while
he was vet on board. On their arrival at New Zealand, the
Captain, induced most probably by his suggestions, ran thle
ship into Wiingeroa, a harbour which I believe had never
'whim been entered by any European vesst I, and %%Inch lying
in the very territory of the chief whom he bad so ill-treated,
was recommended, I doubt not, to make his destinetion
evitable. He would not acknowledge to us that lie himself
suggested this harbour to the Captain as the most convenient
place for him to take ill his cargo, though from his evasive
answers I am fully pursnaded lie decoyed him into it.

" The ship being now anchored in his own haihowr, the
Captain, lie informed us, seat hint on shore ; having first
stripped him of every thing English he had about him, to the
very clothes he had ou, which were also taken from hum ; so
that lie was received by his countrymen almost in a state of
perfect nudity. To these he instantly related all his hard-
ships, and the inhuman treatment be had received our board.
While enraged at the detail, they unanimously insisted un re-
venge, and nothing short of the (lest: action of the Captain and
the crew, and taking possession of the vessel, could satisfy
their fury. This lie promised to do, and the work of slaugh-
ter was now about to commence, while the devoted v:ctinis
temained unconscious of the ince:Hal project.
" The imprudence and temerity of Captain Thompson as-
sided that vengeance which his miscenduct had roused, and
were now displayed in too evident a manner. Never once
reflecting on the character of the savage, whose favoutite
passion is revenge, and nut considering that his own tyranny
had provoked the most signal retaliation that could be taken
lie had the rashness to leave the *hip unprotected, and taking
a boat's crew vs ith him, piece sled to the shore, whet e a hot de
of ontragions cannibals stood prepared for his destruction.—
The duration of this dreadful tragedy was short. He hail
scarcely lauded, when lie was knocked down and murdered
by Tipponie ; and his sailors, unhappily sharing the same fate,
where all stripped by the barbarians, who immediately ap-
peared dressed in the clothes of their victims, and went on
to the ship to complete the carnage. Ai-saving at the ship
with their revenge unsatiated,and still raging for blood, a
general massacre of the remaining part of the crew, together
with all the passengers on boatel, inimediattely ensiled, and
with the exception of four individnals, neither man, woman,
nor child, of all that had left Port Jackson, escaped the meet
vengeance of their merciless enemies. It was in vain they
sought to conceal themselves; they were soon discovered
with a fatal certainty, and dragged out to suffer the most ex-
, co instating torments. Some of the sailors 'uniting up the rig-
ging, with the hope that when the fury of the savages should
have subsided, their own lives might be spaced, met the same
rate as the rest of their unthrtutiale companions. Coining
down at the request of Tippahee, who had, on that dreadful
naming, come into the harbour Item the bay of Wailers, they
pat themselves under his prof' etion ;aid though the old
chief did all in his power to prevent their being massacred,
his collets were unavailing, and they fell betote Ins eyes, the
last sictims in this last acetic of blood and honor. But here
I am wiling, this was not the last scene. for there was' one
wore at which butnattity will shudder, as wed as the person
who records it. 'these savages, not satisfied with the ven-
geance they had already taken, and true to their character as
cannibals, feasted thentselses on the dead bodies of their
victims, devout Mg the inank t d flesh tilt their inhuman appe-
tites were completely glutted.

Oa the eQd of December, the vessel reached the
pisoe of her destination, the Bay of Islands.
" We landed at the opening of a narrow valley, through
witich a small meandering stream foetid its way to
She sea, the hilts on each side were very steep, in some places
almost perpendicular, and covered, as I befhie observed,
with fern and trees. On the tali eta hill that tole to • the left
emus with a rugged ascent, and overlooking the harbone, was
built the town of Kangehoo, now the residence of Duaterra,
and lively that of Tippahee, whose melancholy fate I 'shall
hereafter it tee • occasion (a notice. Ae01111(1 this town (if it
play be so called) were several plantations of potatoes, coome.
flu, anti other vegetables, and the cultivation had such an ap-
pearance of neatness and regularity, that a person not se.
qstaiuted with the character of the natives, could never sup-
pose it was the work of uncivilised barbarians. Each plan-
tation wits carefully fenced in, and Itangiug down from the
sides of steep hills, :night remind Oile of instances of similar
ieidnetry which are related of the Chinese.
"On the shore we found collected a number of the native',
men,. women, and children, whose countenances and manner
indicated very plainly the pleasure we afforded them by our
visit. Sir. Marsieu's name was familiar in their mouths, and
Ihey crowded roiled hint with strong marks of affeetionate
steward. Oa the arrival of the boats with the cattle, they ap-
peared perfectly bewildered with alll3l einem, and not know-
ing what to conclude respecting styli extraordinary looking
animals. Cows or horses they had never seen befot e, and.
diverted,now from every thing else, they reaartleti them as stu-
pendous prodigies. However, their astonishment was soon
turned to alarm and confusion; for one of the rows that was
Aviltl and itnelanageable, hieing impatient of restraint, rushed
in emang them, and caused such violent terror through the
whole assemblage, that imagining some preteritatiiral monster'
had been let loose to destroy them, they all immediately betook.
themselves to flight.
" But this cause of their panic being removed, they did not
hesitate to return, and Mr. N141.1(11.'1, momiting the horse. rode
yip and down the beach, exciting their wonder in a tenfold
degree. To see a snail seated on the bark of such an anima,
they thought the strangest thing in nature, and following
him with staring eyes, they believed at the moment that he
awes more than mortal. Though Duaterra, on Ills return
from his former visit to Port Jackson, had described to his
countrymen the nature and use of the horse, his account ap-
peared to them so preposterous. that it only excited their
Haviug no name in his language for this • al,
he thought that rorraailer, their term for a dog, would be the
best designation lie (meld adopt ; but as they could not cis
vate their ideas of it to the same height as 111.4 desetiptiiin,
they believed slot a single word he said. On telling them that
he hail seen large co ?adders carry men and icemen ahem in
land canoes, (meaning marriages,) they would pet their fined s
to their ears to prevent themselves from listening to him, and
desire bins very indignantly not to tell AO many hies. A few
af thew, however. mote curious than the rest, to prove his
veracity, woold mount the hacks of their pigs, saying they
.mast be more fit for the perpose of riding than the eurrarldra ;
endeavouring to Ratio's them about in the style of Euro-
pean horsemanship, they quickly tumbled into the dirt, and
became quite as incredulous as their sceptical companions.
This was, therefore, a day of triumph to pnatterra, as It
afforded twat an opportunity of convincing them by ocular
tiemoitstrathei of the troth of his statement. The cattle, on
being landed, were all in a thriving condition, except the
cow belonging to Shunglii, which appeared in a lacy- weak
mute.
Ditatterra, ha.ing got all the property on shore, was now
ready to conduct us to his town, which standing, as I mei:-
toned on the summit of a steep hill, rendered the approach
to it a work of some labour and fatigue. The plantations on
•the bill, which appeared to such advantage at a distance. ins.
proved still more on a nearer view of. them, and every thing
bespoke not only the neatness, but even the good taste of the
miltivutors. Not a weed was to be seen, and the palling,
which was ineenions though simple, gave an effect to the
enclosure that was peculiarly stikisig. Before we reached
the top, w e could perceive that the town was a fortress of
very great stveligth, coosidering the rude mode of warfare
pursued in this island. It WWI almost emeompaseed with a
deep and wide trench, on the inner side of which was formed
a breast work of long stakes stuck in the ground at a short
distance trots eadt othea, and so compactly firm as to be ca.
pable of resisting for a lung time the most impetuous attacks
of its undisciplined ass..ilants. Passing this fortification, we

The hales ot: our way to Ditaterra's residence, which stood

was an excellent c intrivance for a writing desk. At a short
dlatancein front of it were Jong planks supported like forms
for the European& to sit upon, and every thing was in a state
of preparation for the ensuing day, when, for the first time,
the voice of Revealed Religion was to be publicly raised in
New Zealand.

"'Phis day; which was inspatimitly anticipated, soon arriv
ed ;and was rendered doubly sacred by being the sabbath,
and also the anniversary of that day which gave birth to the
Divine Redeemer of mankind. The missionaries, with their
families and all the crew, except the captain, who remained
on board to take charge of the ship, went on altore.at an early
hour; and.the orderly deportment even of the sailors, who
were generally so heedless of religious observances, bespoke
the peCilliar solemnity of the oreadon. • As soon as we had
landed, Kerta-korra dremap all his Men and marched.dieun
rank and tile into the enclosure, where the whole population
of Itangeltoo had assembled in expectation of our arrival.
The chiefs were dressed in their 'regimentals, nOh their
swords by their sides, anti keeping their people in good order,
awaited, with becoming silence, the commencement of the
service. Whenwe were all seated, Mr. Marsden, dressed in
his surplice, ascended the place deSigned for liiin,whieh was
covered over with blaek Moth mandfactured in the country,
and began in a solemn and impressiste manner the service for
the day. The natives being ranged in a circle at a conveni-
ent distance within the enclosure, were directed by Komi-
kerra, with the flourish of a cane Which he held in his hand,
to rise and sit down as we slid ; and he was not more exact
in giving the signal than they were In attending to it. If lie
saw any of them inclined to talk, he tapped them on the head
with his cane, and iirneediately enjoined silence ; Let he had
seldom ouy occasion to employ it in this way, as they behav•
ed in general with much mote regularity than could 1w expect.
ed from such auditors. When the clergyman had finished
the morning service, he addressed himself to his rude c.ai
gregation, through the medium of Dui terra, explaining to
them the great impoitance of %hat they had heard, which was
the doctrine of the only true God, whom they should be all
anxious to know and worship;. and should therefore take all
the pains in their power to nudes stand the religion that Vla•
to be introduced among. them. Daaterra was ready eisosigh
to net as interpreter in the coma iiiii 'cation of these "
;"' hull to several importunate questions from lois
comitrvoien, regarding the minute particulars of the sin.jret,
he male Ho ether reply, titan that they would be fully AC-
yusiuled with them at a future time."

The primary objects to be now attended to, were
the construction of dwellings for the Missionaries ; in
these they were zealously insisted by the natives; -and
before Mr. Marsden quitted the island, they had esta-
blished themselves in a manner which offered the fair-
est prospect of their ultimately accomplishing the great
work which they had thus begun. One circumstance,
-indeed occurred which clouded this fair prospect ; their
friend and protector, Duaterra, fell sick, a short tune
previous to the vesiei's finally quitting dm island : and,
as was subsevently learnt, expired five days after
her sailing.

INCLEDOSI.

The New York Papers of the 27th of October, give the
following account of a tumult which took place at 'the rhea-
ire there, on one of the nights of Inclesion's performance
The Re,;; acs' Opera was the ruiertataa.t•Nl alt

New York audience, nut even the popularity of Mr. Incle,ktu

masks of disapprobation which were fondly heard from all

passing a leisure hour isi some other place far less innocently. '
When, therefore, a piece is presented which militates hi the
most important of those particulars, it reflects credit .on t►e
audience, that they bestow unequivocal marks of their dis-
approbation, such as they testified on Monday cycniug.
After sentence had tints been passed ou the play, and im-
mediately before Mr. Incledun began his new song, the Ma-
nager spoke to Mr. Incledon, of his own accord, before ady
clamour had coinnieuced, and asked hint, since so respectable
a house had been disappointed in the play, as was evident,
whether it would lint be in his power to give them their
fa-
vourite " flack ey'd Susan." Mr. Incletlon, in answer, I.
pressed the greatest wish to do so, but assured him that he
was so exhausted by the efforts he had gone through, that
he telt it to he entirely out of his power to du it with justice
either to the:unlit:nee or himself. It was therefue giveaup,
and Mr. Incleilon soon left the house. Theo commenced a
scene of noise and uproar, calling for the 'stoic song, although
not announced in the bills; which coutintied without inter.
ruptiou during the after piece, not a syllablde of which was
heard. Mr. Simpson the acting manager, came forward after
the farce began, and told the audience, as a reason why their
demands could not be complied with, that Mr. Incledon had s.
left the house, and it lie had not, that he was rendered ince-
bar of giving the song they wished to hear., This was, how-
ever, disregarded. Aster the C.:mutter had continued lung,
and when it appeared to thtt•aten a sea ions riot, :mil apple-
hensiolis were entertained of the consequences, application
was made to the civil anthill ity for assistanee, in cam It
should be tit eessary. In consequence some watchmen were
soon introthired into the house, but Mr. Price met tits in at
the head of the first stairs, anti enjidned them strictly not to
meddle t% ith any one withaut orders. On being assured
reedy from Justice Hopson that their presence w.as not ne-
cessary, and tieing requested 10 delwt9, airy 111,t4.4.1144t:t1, ,
