Bor.wEit's NOVELS.—At the head of living British novel-
ists, or thereabouts, most persons would place the ex-member
for Lincoln—ti gentleman who received a baronetcy from the
same hands which presented Robert Owen to the Queen.
We plead guilty to having read several of this gentleman's
works, which seem expressly written to show that a man
may commit crimes of the deepest dye, without being a whit
the less amiable, highminded. or even virtuous. His earliest
work, called " Falkland," is the history of an adulterer, the
most noble and generous of mankind, whom circumstances
of a peculiar nature lead to seduce the wife of his friend. A
second, entitled " Paul Clifford," represents another of these
perfect specimens of humanity as the captain of a band of
highwaymen in Berkshire. The contrast in point of morality
between this hero, and the crowd of judges, bishops, and
I ministers of state, who fill up the back ground of the picture,
is most favourable to him ; and in the end he escapes scot-
free to America, where he becomes a pattern of wisdom and
I beneficence to the whole Occidental republic. A third, a
fourth, and a fifth of these novels are occupied in the deline-
ation of different varieties of the attractive murderer. In
" Devereux," a gentleman, outside all amiable, murders his ,
brother's wife, and ends his days as an interesting religious
enthusiast in Italy. " Eugene Aram " (one of the real heroes
in the Newgate Calendar) is held up to sympathy and ad-
miration as a pure-minded intellectualist, habitually noble in
action, feeling, and thought. In " The Disowned," an
eminent philanthropist and great political reformer murders
his chief benefactor by mistake, supposing him to be the
premier. We do not mean that Sir E. L. Bulwer vindicates
these actions of his heroes ; he does no more, of course, than
" praise them with faint blame," and leaves his readers to
conclude that into mistakes such as these, strong delusion
or an overpowering moral necessity is exceedingly apt to
betray the best of inen.—London Times.
CANNIBALISII.—It is well known to those residents who
have had opportunity of witnessing the customs of the abo-
rigines of this district, that the crime of cannibalism is pre-
valent among them. Travellers who merely pass through a
territory are loth to believe this fact, and many have even
denied its existence among the New Zealanders. Not hav-
ing opportunities of witnessing the truth themselves, they '
rashly deny the experience of others, whose evidence is a
great deal more trustworthy. In this district, the blacks do
not make a practice of eating human flesh iu times of peace,
it is true ; nor do they seem to resort to it from want, or
from a depraved appetite. It forms part of the punishment
inflicted upon capital offenders. The English law sentences
a murderer " to be hanged, and his body given for dissec-
tion." The blacks condemn him "to be speared, and his
body to be eaten." The same sentence is put in force against
their leubras. for inconstancy. Several instances have occur-
red lately. Within the last few days we have been informed
two leubras were killed and eaten at the Protector's station,'
near Killembeet; and so shameless were the blacks, or so
convinced were they that there was no harm in doing so, that I
they even offered one of the feet ,
as a tit-bit to the protector
himself, with the assurance that it was merrijig cudjella."
It will also be recollected, that the black who attempted
to murder a shepherd some time ago at Lake Colac, and
was afterwards tried, convicted, and speared by an assembly
of the Barrabool tribe, (of which Mumbowren was one -)
was afterwards eaten by his judges and executioners.—Gee-
long long Advertiser.
