CANNIBAIS.

Joseph Price, Of Wilmington, Del. has ar
rived At Boston III the Sultana, from London.
and furnished our Correspondent with the
following:
He shipped on board the Gen. Gates, Of
Boston, on the 7th Of August, 1921, bound on
sealing voyage, and sailed from Hobart
Town, Van Dlcnan's Land, the 10th. On
the 21st, he with five others, (John Roster,
Of London; James Webster and Mm Raw
son, OF New London; and William Smith and
James West, both Of New York were land
ed on the Coast Of New Zctand, in whale
boat, with q quantity of provisions, where
they remained scaling and procured 350S
SKINS.
On the lth Oct. they were taken by the
natives between iQ and IL O'Clock at night,
who st tlrc to their huts, and consumed all
taalr slns and provisions remaining, not
knowing chclr use tied their hands behind
them, anc thcy were marched to Looking
Glass Bay, q distance Of upwards of $50
mics, during which time they had nothing to
cat bat roasted hsh, which the natives sub
sist upon From thence they were marched
Stndy Bay, upwards OF 200 miles further,
where they found d tribe OF s,rvages, consist
ms u p t"ccn 700 and 500, who took them
before the hinS and Queen, anti shortly at-
ter Roster WAS ordered to be killed. They
ucd hil to Il tree, knocked hn on the head
with clubs, cut Off his head and buried it,
the body w,ts roasted IN a kind Of an oven
under ground, after which it was tcyourcd
~ these cannibals; pant Of which, however.
thc remaining five we're obliged to partake
ot CT starse, not having any thing else offer
ed taem-lhcy were tied to tree and
gu4lcrd by about 30 of the savagcs. The
sreoid day, " eDstcr was Killed, roasted and
deyoarcd; the tArd day Kawson, and the
tnasth day, Smith, both shared the same
fstc. On dcNouiilg the bodies OF these men,
the hands were assigned to the Queen, and
the feet to the King, and his subjects took
care OF the trunk. On the 5th tav it was
understood West was to be killed, but the
tVcni"5 previous heavy squall rose from
the cast, with rain, thunder and lightning,
w!lc! frightened tho sava.,es, they set upa
) Il, and ran away towards the west. Price
ami West united each other and went to-.
wards the beach, where they found tho
whale ooat, (having been brought roundby
the savascs,) sails and oars, ane! without pro
VISIONS or water, embarked and left the isl
and. Alter being at sea three days they
were taken up BY the brig Marguary, Capt.
White, ana landed at Sidney, New South
Wales the lGtn Nov. whence Price obtained
passage to the Isle Of France, thence to Lon
don. West was left sick in the hospital at
Sidney.

tors. This was adopted by vote of rs to
a.. But the senate did not concur. The
President decided that it was not in order to
receive the proposition, and this decision was
supported by vote of the Senate. A resolu-
ton was then introduced in the Assembly,
declaring the opinion of the house that no
unexpected incident, or unforeseen exgence
had occurred, which required immediate
legislation, and the proclamation OF the
Governor, convening the legislature, was an
indiscrcet exercise OF the executive preroga-
tive. This resolution was debated at some
length, al d finally accepted by vote of 60

CURED in the joint resolution of the Senate,
that the two houses will adjourn Immediate
ly, substituting only the words at.fpe O'Clock,
Ills afternoon, for the word immediateiy.
At five o'clock the two houses adjourned

LATEST FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

Extract Of letter receiued, fron boston,
dated GuAvAouIL, April 20, 1924.
"All eyes are looking anNiousy to the
South. Boliver is the only hope OF Column
bia. He is now concentrating his forces i'll
IIuaras and is daily increasing his numbers
from this place and Panama. In May.
he will have at his disposition an army OF
10000 or perhaps $4,000 men. Every pre-.
paration is making to insure the success OF
the present campaign. 1t is astonishing, it
is wonderful, to see what Bolivar IS dong
with his limited means. His soldiers are well
clothed and fed, and an abundance OF arms
provided ;-good order and displine pervade
throughout the army The two armies VIII
meet in June when the future destiny OF
the country will be determined. II the
Patriots are successful commerce will IN
crease and flourish, and the country viii adj
vance in civilization and refinement; but II
on the contrary the Spani,lrds are successful,
the country will again be devoted to slavery
and foreign residents will be compelled to
leave the country, for the old Spanish system
would undoubtedly again be established.
For my own part, have every confidence
in Bolivar, although every thing wears an
alarming aspect. The Spaniards IN Peru
have heretofore been successful because they
have never met IN enemy that made any
stand. The Colombans are Injured to hard
ship and naturally brave men most OF the
officers commanding, have been Injured to
service, and there is every reason to hope
that the cause will yet be prosperous"

Snentation Of spirits, &c. formed i'll the re-
gion of the stomach, Of a similar nature with
that discovered III empty vessels which had
contained strong spirits, or in mines, which
sometimes takes fire on contact with the ig-
ncous element; and from the phosphorc and
Gampheric nature of numerous juices which
abound in the human body, particularly in
fat subjects The fiery evaporations which
exhale from the settling of spirits in the tM-
MICA rHlosa of the stomach, and other adj
pose fat membranes, ,,with which those spirits
engender fumes of a camphorated quality,
which in sleep are augmented by full rcspi-
ration, and are put in stronger motion and
more apt to take fire.
The insulated and in part concealed facts
which have attended all those instances, eX-
cept the one at Warsaw, will not afford a suf-
ticioncy Of evidence to arrive at the exact
cause, to enable us to ascribc it to any def
mite circumstance, except those general ones
previously enumerated. Therefore, The mo$l
zve can do, is to caution zciM enhhQsis, al
people, particularly the fat, short-ncckod
and the aged, from the indulgence of that
habit, which has been i'll every instance except
one, the Italian one, the certain precursor tt
this lamentable catastrophe ;-refrain from
ircbriety, and the use of ardent spirits il
particular, when, it seems, the effect may
be avoided.

fered the steam to so down, which had wei,
nigh cost the patient her life. At one of
these times she was so far gone, on the arr;,,
val of the doctor, that there was no life re-
naming, except in one foot; but immediate.
ly upon administering No. 6. and raising tbe
steam, life was restored to the rest of her
body, and finally accomplished her cure ae
above stated.
On his cross examination, the doctor stated
he had no license to practice, under the an
thorty of this state or OF any other state, but
he had license to practise under the 20
vernmcnt OF the u. States, and he thereupon
produced copy OF the patent and license
from Thompson, authorizing him to prac-
tisc under the same. The doctor said he
had never studied with any licensed physi-
clan, but he had learned the business from
patent doctor at Passamaquodty, who
told him he obtained his information from an
other in New Hampshire. Physicians prac-
tising under the state authority had some
times been called in to consult with the docto,
in critical cases and in one case in particu
lar, physician of Geneva had been called
in who did not treat him civilly and in con-
sequence of that the doctor cut his COMPANY
and would have nothing to do with him.
Two physicians of the standing order.
were called as witnesses, but as neither of
them were acquainted with the steam prac-
tice or knew any thing Of the rare properties
of No 6, as Il medicine, they supposed the
practice of the defendant haI injured the pa
tient.
The Judge who tried the cause must be .
great stickler for state rights for in his
charge to the jury he minated his opinion
pretty strongly tina. 4 patent from the Uni
ted States could not make Il good physician
of a man who had never seen medical book
and moreover that it would not even au
thorisc the defendants to practice in viola
tion of the laws Of this state. And although
the Judge admitted that the decision Of the
United States Court rendered the use Of
steam free so far as relates to the propellinr
OF boats, yet he seems to think that decision
could not be extended to case like the pre-
sent. And as the patent under which the de-
PENDANTS claimed did not expressly authorize
them to practice upon the high pressure
principle it would Especially after the re-
cent disaster at New York; be unwise and
improper for the courts to sanction such
practice.
And the jury found verdict for the plain
tiff for S22o damages.
