QUARANTINE.--Extract of a letter from his Majesty's Consul at
Leghorn, dated the 2oth Nov. 1832, addressed to Lord P.almerston :--
" The Board of Health here has fixed 15 instead of 25 days' quaran-
tine on vessels from Great Britain ; and 20 instead of 35 for goods in
the Lazaretto; if it is specified in the bill of health that no conta-
gious disease existed at the port from whence the vessel sailed, nor
within 20 leagues thereof ; the_ quarantine will be reduced to ten day*
for the vessel and crew, and fifteen for the goods." •

the East India Company's December sale of teas commenced at the
India House. The total quantity of the several descriptions of teas
declared for the present quarterly sale was 8,300,0001b5, consisting of
the following descriptions, viz.---1,900,0001bs of Bohea ; 4,900,0001bs
of Congou, Campoe, Pekoe. and Souchong; 1,120,0t01bs of Twan-
kay ; and 300.0001bs of Hyson. As compared with the last sale, the,
present declaration shows a deficiency of loo,ooolbs ; the decrease in
the two first qualities being loo,ooolbs in each, while in Twaukays
there is an increase of 100,0001bs, The sale was well attended through-
out the whole of the day, and the biddings were extninely. animated.
The first breaks of Boheas realised from is llfd to is 111 d per pouud,
which will render them liable only to 96 per cent duty, The prices
obtained during the day average rather higher than those obtained at
the September sale. The sale will not end till the close of next week.
REMINGTON AND STEPHENSON'S BANKRUPTCY,--A meeting of cre-
ditors interested in this bankruptcy against Messrs. Remington and
Stephenson, took.place on Thursday, before Mr. Commissioner Wil-
liams, for the purpose of auditing accounts, and declaring a dividend
on the joint and separate estate. Mr. Abbott, the official assignee,
then stated, that iipon Rowland Stephenson's separate estate, he was
prepared to pay a dividend of ls. in the pound upon the debts which
amounted to £lBO,OOO, and leave a balance of £3,000. It was proposed
that the creditors should have possession of the property in Pitt-place,
and which they would have on payment of a small sum of money.
Debts to a very considerable amount were owin,g from persons who
would pay them by instalments, and which would amount to £26.000.
Other property, when converted into cash, would yield £32,200, and
thus make a further dividend of 3s. in the pound : when that sum was
paid the dividend on Stephenson's estate would amount to 6s. 6d. in
the pound. On the joint estate he had to receive £11,600, which
with £21,800 ready to be divided among the creditors, would yield a
dividend of 6d. in the pound. It was expected that other debts would
be collected to make another dividend of 2s. Bd. in the pound, which,
with 10s. 6d. in the pound already paid, would make the whole divi-
dend on the joint estate amount to 13s. Bd. in the pound. This state-
ment gave very great satisfaction,
MUTINY AT SEA.—The American Vice-consul applied to the sitting
Magistrate, at the Thames Pollee Office, on Tuesday, for advice un-
der the following circumstances :—lt appeared that, during the pas-
sage of the American ship Hercules, from Calcutta to Boston, a seri-
ous mutiny broke out among the crew, and the Captain put into the
Isle of France, where, by the advice of the United States' Consul;
the mutineers were detained for the purpose of being sent home on
the firs; favourable opportunity. The Consul, however, had not
been able to tend ihem home in an America ship, but had them on
board the Lady Macnaughton, East Indianian, bound for England,
which had arrived in 'the Downs, and was expected daily in the
river, The object of his application was to have the mutineers (eight
in number) taken out of the Lady Machnaughten, and confined here,
until some vessel left the port of London for the United States, where
the men would be brought to trial for their offence. Mr. Ballantine
said, he had no power to interfere, as the offence was committed by
Americnn sailors, under American colours, but he recommended the
Vice-consul to apply to the Americhn. Ambassador, who would apply
for assistance to the Home Secretary.

NATIVES OF MADAGASCAR.—The native costume is simple.
The men, who are 'robust. and well-Proportioned, wrap them-
selves in a cloth which they throw like a cloak over their
shoulders, and another that is wound round their waist. These
garments, being very rarely changed or washed, harbour a
great quantity' of vermin, of which.. the -Wearers are so little
ashamed that they make no scruple of Standing in the sun in
the open streets and employing their slaves to rid them of their
annoyance. Their hair is platted in little locks, which are
becoming -in appearance • but as it is the custom to anoint the
head with ox-grease, and 'wear no covering, the heat of the sun
renders the scent
.intolerable. The beard is suffered to grow
on the chin only, being eradicated on the other parts of the
face with
_pincers. The King's guard have now their hair
cropped;, this regulation caused two years ago a revolution
among the woman, who were much distressed at seeing their
husbands deprived of their ornamental locks; but the execu-
tion of seven of these females, with several men who were the
instigators of the disturbance, restored tranquillity. Both men
and women adorn the upper part of their arms and belly with
scars, differing according to taste, and resembling bas-relief.—
Many individuals also pierce their ears and dilate the perfora-
tions so as to admit the three forefingers. Their principal finery
consists in decorating their feet, hands, and neck with chains
of silver, coral, and pieces of money,- from a franc to a piastre
in value, amounting sometimes to. upwards of 200 or 300 francs.
They keep these jewels as their most precious possessions, often
not parting with them even after their death. Children of both
sexes go naked to six or seven years of age, and the slaves aro
Benerally in a state of perfect nudity and diigustingly filthy.—
