CANNIBALISM.

Captain Sir Edward Brlcher in his book Just pub
lished on voyages round the world states in reference
to the Fejee islands:
Cannibalism, to frightful degree, still prevails
amongst this people, and, as it would seem, almost
as one of their highest enjoyments, The victims of
this ferocious slaughter regularly pre- pared be-
ing baked packed, and distributed in portions to the
various towns which furnished warriors, according
to their exploits, and they were Toasted on with de-
gree of savage barbarity nearly incredible They
imagine that they increase in bravery by eating their
valorous enemy. Garingaria is a noted cannibaI,
and it is asserted that he killed one OF his wives and
eat her. This he denied, and accounted for her
death (Which took place violently by his order) on
other grounds. He did not attempt denial of his
acts at Banga, nor did Phillips. These occurrences
are of late date ! am told they threw one or more
of the heads (Which they did not ea) into the mis-
sionary's compound. The population of the Fejees
are very tall far above the height of any other ma
ton have seen. Of five men assembled in my tent,
none were under six feet two inches 1t was rather
an awkward subject to tax Garingaria within his
own house, and solely attended by bis own depen-
dent our interpreter; but he took it very quietly,
and observed that he cared not for human flesh un-
less 1t was that of his enemy, and taken in battle
When he used this expression, could not help think
ing his lips were alphabetically in motion, and that
had better not make myself too hostile. therefore
bid him good evening.

NpErESDENcE-The people of the United States

One OF them agreed to act cuprlt, the second as

THE GLOBE AND THE CLAY WINGS.


Blair, of the Globe, omits no opportunity to
speak favorabIy Of the Clay Wings, and in his pa
per of yesterday openly expresses his preference
of them to Mr. Tyler and his friends. This is
precisely what might be expected from politi-
cal maniac, or from the .personal friend and
connection by marriage" of Mr.. Clay. All the
violence and recklessness OF the Clay leaders
are forgotten; their attempts to force a Bank
upon the People and to drive the President by
means OF political destruction 10 CO operate
with them-their Distribution law, to give
away the public money which was to be OBJ
tanned by taxation, at time when the Treasu-
ny was empty-these are all sunk in oblivion,
and the men who moved Heaven and Earth to
accomplish these results are openly and shame
lessly applauded by newspaper protesting De-
,nocracy, while the fearless Executive who re-
sisted these wild and unconstitutional mea-
su'es-whc braced himself against the wrath,
denunciatons, threats and abuse Of these lead !.
ers-he is daily denounced as unworthy the
confidence of Democrats!
Either Blair is engaged in deep scheme to
promote Mr. Clay's election, or he is laboring
ordinary character. He would seem determined
to keep his rarity in a minority. He denounces
those who voted against Mr. Van Buren, in
lS40 as beng "weak and Observation-Disclosures
by log cabins and hard cider abandoning their
principles for the sake Of coon skins and songs!
and he would have nothing to do with them.
And yet these same ''weak and ignoranr' men
have votes; and those votes are necessary 10
the election of Democratic President; unless.
indeed, by some new coalition" that result is
10 be effected without the votes of the People |!
1 1t is favorite saying with Blair and his few
associates Of the press, that great wrong was
done in 1910, by the defeat of Mr.. Van Buren,,
and that it should be repaired through the same
individual. In other words, :hey insist that the
People shall humble themselves before these
three-tailed Bashaws, and acknowledge their
error. They are unwilling to increase the
chances of success to Democratic principles, by
removing every unnecessary obstacle, but they
insist that the error shall be corrected-not in
the way the People themselves may choose
but in the way that Messrs. Blair and Richie
may think proper TO direct And in this arro-
giant tone and dctatorial language, they seek to
obtain The support Of independent freemen
Really, have these men any conception of the
rights and duties of an American citizen Do
they suppose he is to be dragooned into the sup
port of their candidate by their violence They
will find themselves mistaken.

1t is truly remarked in the New York Atlas, that
every body encounters difficulties and trials 10 their
early struggles for fame and fortune-some very So
we're ones. The weak-hesrted are sure 10 miss the
goal Of their ambilion--the perseyerng almost sure
10 attain it, There have been few men of eminence
who have not been in the greatest difficulties but they
tainted not.
Some years ago, two gentlemen met on bright
bracing morning Their appetites were sharp as
the weather, Neither of them had b. eakfasted and
though Of them was OF very poetic tempera-
ment, there at that time no subject SO sweet as
coffee and ros--the things for which he was yearn-
ing.
LEND me shilling, said he to his companion, and
/ will stand the breakfast
shilling but shilling to administer to the
wants Of these gentlemen, and TO keep them from the
pangs of hunger! But their pockets were gultlcss
OF the possession Of any of the coin of the realm
but there's man set up in coffee house some time
ago. We can get, breakfast there. It's mile of,
though
They made nothing of the distance and in the
course of time, arrived at the coffee house.
Two cups OF hot coffee and two hot rolls said the
last speaker.
II was brought-but as soon as it was placed on the
table the money was demanded.
. charge it to me, MIR. -
Never give credit No trust chalked over the
counter, growled the fellow and the coffee and hot
rolls which had been placed under the noses of the
hungry gentlemen we're removed.
What's 10 be done p cried one. They pondered
moment, and then the coffee house keepers patron
said
DO you write song, and I'll set it to music
The poet wrote verse, and the musician set it to
music while his friend was composing the second.
The two now started to Walkers music store in
Soho Square, London, and offered for sale the pro-
duction.
Play it over said the publisher
The musician played and sang it,
I'll give you guinea for it,
Il was readily TAKEN and the two went back toll
coffee house, RECALLED themselves heartily and gave
the ungrateful proprietor lecture which would have
been death TO sensitive man, but which was, Of
course, lost upon him.
The one is now the most popular singer of the age,
and the other is one OF the editors Of the London
Morning Chronicle.

HE lNcLIsH LAW OF DrvoRcE-The working Of
thIs law VIII be best understood by the following
letter addressed by sufferer to the Times. A few
years since, having family Of three children, nv

The Ecclesiastical Court for divorce, not conceyng

me woman, however, was base enough, (incted
partly, suppose, by her paramount and partly by a
hungry lawyer,) to oppose the suit, solely for the
purpose of wrngIng alimony out of me, who at that
Tune had an income Of 900 year only, and was left
with three children on my hands This claim of ali
mony the Court allowed to the extent of Gao wear
although the woman was then living in open adultery
with her seducer. Well, then, after the proceedings
had been pending year, obtained divorce The
expenses of these proceedings have brought me ac-
tualy on the verge Of prison. in which / shall to
all appearance, be incarcera'ed in a few days All
this, miserable as it is, would have submitted To
