NEW SOUTH WALES.

f~

Captain Theeots has been absent from thisi
port, on his late trip, 20 months and eight days,
This old Commander out of Australia has visited,
in that interim, all the islands from the Paliseers
down to New Caledonia. From the Society.
Islands he brings nothing new, as we have later
information. The Fejee Islands have only.
been visited by two ships, with
theexception of
the Calder, since the massacre of Captain 11.0),
son, of the East India ship Hunter, many years
ago. The Calder remained among the Fejees
three weeks, during which time Captain Dillon
experienced the utmost 'attention and kindness.
He brings here one of their chiefs (an admi-
ral), together with Tonga native. The Fe-
jee islands consist of between 200 and 300,
and leaving Christianity 'out of . the scale,
make the nearest approximation to civilizas
tion of any of the South-sea islanders. The
difference in :the odionts of the Tonja and Fejee
natives is not by any means great, as those two
on board the Calder freely converse with, and
understand each other. The native of the Fe-
jees are distinguished from the rest of the myriad''
in the Southern ocean by one circumstance, viz..
the manufacture of earthenware. These islands',
in former years, were noted for the vast cargoes
of sandal wood with which the East India track
was supplied—but, so scarce is that article noire
that Captain Dillon could only procure 301 t
pounds weight. From thence the Calder pro,
ceeded to the new Hebrides, and called at Port
Resolution, in the island of Tana, in which har.,
hour a vessel had not anchored since Captain,
Cook was there. A few of the old natives
mentioned the memorable name of Cook, as
well as those of Mr. Wales and Mr. Foe.
ter. We should have previously stated, that the
Fejeen, on board the Calder, conducted Captain'
Dillon to an island not before visited by Euro-
peans, to which Captain D. gave the appellation
of Joseph Barrallo's Island. Its latitude is 9,01.
39. S. and longitude 178. 26. W. The island
abounds in all . the various 'kinds of tropical,
luxuries and provisions ; and the natives were
well dressed. They had a pistol and some
.
beads amongs them, of a foreign manufactures
which they reported to have obtained from a
vessel that had been wrecked on a low, sandy,
and uninhabited island, only one day's sail
to the leeward of their own, called Toovenah.
All hands were lost ! No other tidings of this
disastrous event could Captain Dillon 'succeed in
gleaning. Some of the must choice and rare
curiosities, the productions of the South-sea
islands, are brought to the •- Colony by this
opportunity. They are well entitled to the
inspection of the curious and the learned.---
In addition to the above, Captain Dillon bee
been kind enough to furnish us with the follow
ing interesting but dismal account :—A few days
prior to the departure of the Calder the
coast of Peru, the American ship Globe, of Nab'.
tucket, .of 250.0 r 300 tons, arrived at Vaina!rir
with only two men and three boys on board ;
having the union down, covered with hew!
blood ! She' was commanded by a Mr. SOliti't
formerly a boat sterer. He stated, that on the
ship's way to the Sandwich Islands, tower°
liingsmell's Group, at uo great distance from.the
north part of this coast, the majority of the crew
mutinied and conspired against the captain and
officers. They entered the unfortunate
coal'
mander's cabin, and without ceremony knocked
out his'brains with an axe. The chief officer wog
next butchered. They then proceeded to the
cabin occupied by the 2d and 3d officers, who were
prepared for resistance, and a dreadful conflict
ensued, but, being overcome by strength, they
also were numbered with the slain—being
thrown overboard while alive, though horribly
wounded. A ruffian, mimed Counstock, then
took charge of the vessel. Two days after these
atrocities, the steward was detected in the act
of loading a pistol—he was taken on deck--3
court was formed by the pirateStlie steward
was condemned to be hung at the foresyard---
and the sentence was immediatety executed.--
The vessel then shaped her course towards King-
smell's Group, where the natives opposed their
landing, upon which many of them were slaughter-
ed. Lord Mulgrave's Rouge, in 5° N. was the
next course steered for. Here they anchored'en"
were kindly received by the natives. The pro
visions and stores were then landed, and tents
erected on the beach from the sailsof the ship.Coun.
stock governed the party on shore, whilst a "In

In distributing the Captain's clothes, they dh-
puted on the beach, when Counstock was eiri
dead by Oliver, who now became the head of the
pirates. 'Oliver and his payty remained on shore

tunny by Mr. Smith, a youth of 17 or 18 yeer4
and 3 boys, to secure the only villain'that remain-
ed on board, cut the cables, and make sail, which
was effected. The vessel readied Valparaiso in
August, after a voyage of three months'
during
which those on board underwent extreme priva.

dispatched to secure Oliver and his party.—'
