MASSACRE OF AaIERICANs AT LApRoNr
lsLANDs.-By The arrival Of the schooner Cd,
Fellow, from he Ladrone Islands, we have re-
ceived an account of the massacre of the captain
and part Of his crew, by the natives Of smal
island known McCOskeli's belonging 10 the
group Of the Ladrones. The particulars y er,
written for US, and subscribed to by Mr.. George
Dawson, who was second officer under comma no
Of Capt. Luce. The occurrence mentioned took
place on the i7lh of Jan. last.
The sperm Whaier Boy, of Warren, r. T., ar
rived of the Island of McCoskeil, and was board
ed by two men IN canoe, who in reply to de
mand for provisions, Informed Capt Luce, mas
ter of he ship, that the island only afforded green
turtle, and that The natives hostile to stran-
gers, advising him not 10 land. Capt L., how
ever, ordered a boat to be got in readiness, and
calling for volunteers, was Joined by four of hi.
crew, and accompanied by one of the strangers,
who were sailors and had been stopping on the
island for two years. lie gave orders TO The first
officer TO send boat for him in the morning. and
pulled ashore. The ship lay off and on, and The
next morning boat was sent for the Captain, in
which was the other stranger, and also two ma
tlves, who had padded off to the ship. On near
ing the shore, the natives assembled on the beach,
refusing to allow the boat to land They were
all armed with spears, and beckuned lheir COM
rdoes 10 JON them from the boat, which they did
1 he sailor resident was then about to follow
when one Of the natives warned him to remain in
The boat They refused to hold any communica-
ton whatever with The crew; aud Mr. Dawson,
who went IN command Of the boat, reioined the
ship and related his adventures Mr. Merry, frs,
officer, then provided the ships crew with arms,
and the boat was again sent ashore under a white
nag. The men lay on their oars within cable :
length Of the beach, where the natives continued
to assemble, armed with spears, and threatening
an attack IT an attempt was made to land. Jo-
seph Percy, the companion Of the sailor who ac-
companied the captain ashore the previous even
ing, endeavorcd 10 gain some particulars from the
natives concerning the fate of the CAPTAIN and
party, but refused all information: and hay
ing stated bis belief to The second officer that they
had been killed by the natives, fire was opened
upon them from the boat The relief party con-
tnued outside the reef until signal from the
ship recalled them. MIR. Merry waited until dark
oft the island, when receiving ildings from the
unfortunate party, he bore off for Ascension
The names of the seamen who landed with
Capt. Luce, were James Mackay. James Swecny,
" iiam Taylor and Edward Rlon. There is no
doubt that the whole party Were massacred bv
the natives, who, perhaps, suspected, from the
absence of their two comrades on boa rd the yes
sci during the night that they had been killed or
detained as prisoners.

MARRIAGE By SALE.-Among the an

cry year, the marriageable females were
assembled, and opposed of at auction to
the highest bidder. The richest citizens
purchased such as pleased them at high
price; and the money thus obtained, was
used 10 portion of those females to
whom nature has been less liberal Of
personal charms. When the beauties
were disposed OF, the auctioneer put up
the homeliest of those who remained,
announcing a premium to the purchas-
er OF each, the bidders were to name a
sum below the given premium, at which
they would be willing to take the maid;
and the bid lowest was declared the
purchaser. By this means every fe-
male was provided for. This custom
originated with Atossa, daughter of Be-
lochus. about 1883, B. C.

The Albany Daily Register con
cludes an article. entitled "Thiriy
days of Pleasure" as follows; ,-.
The American people like to travel
and see sights, but for mere amuse'
meuts they care very little. They
are naturally TOO grave and earnest
to take delight in them. Phlloso'
pliers insist upon the necessity o.
relaxation in order to preserve 9
sound mind in a sound body. Els.
sayists mourn over The lack ol
amusements for the people, say that
we gov sour and morose by our
incessant devotion TO work and bust
ness, and urge that II cheap, innocent
diversions were more generally in.
dulged in, our national temperament
would become more genial and good
morals would be promoted. We
doubt again. Nature can not bt
violated with impuniIy. Our people
may, by culture, be made moral, in
dustrious and frugal, or the reverse
but they are not genial and nevel
were. They are not fond Of cheap
innocent diversions. II they were
they would have them. They will
turn out bv thousands, as in the day:
Of drunken Trinculo and Caliban
10 see every strange, outlandish curl
osily; they will rush in crowds 10 a
horse-race; they find pleasure in
some excitement; but they have
little or nothing in common with a
gay, volatile Partisan, &c whom
amusement is a necessary OF life,
notwithstanding the metropolitan OF
rather cosmopolitan, character oI
New York, with foreign population
that can be numbered by scores oi
thousands, the amusements Of that
city are comparatively very few
The objects OF interest are many,
bnt in amusemenis il is inferior to
any capital of continental Europe.
If all the places in it devoted to
pleasure and relaxation were thrown
open at half or one quarter the pres
ent price, there would probably be a
brief rush TO them; but in a very
short time the number of visitors
would be no greater than before
The difference between Americans
and tbe people of France or conti-
mental Europe generally, is as great
as that which existed between the
Romans and the Greeks. We can
subdue the forest, build cities where
late was a wilderness, construct rail-
roads and canals, can manufacture,
compel nature TO our service, trav-
erse every ocean, can conquer and
give laws, but we can't be amused.
1t is not in our mental constitution.
The effort is irksome to US. We
lack the abandonment necessary TO
enjoy it, and when painfully yielding
TO it. our thoughts are abroad, plan
ming schemes whereon to expend our
untiring energies. Such a people
can accomplish great things. They
can and will change the face OF the
world, bat they will never be happy,
and any effort TO make them so is
labor thrown away.

scarcely half dozen Wing Govern

But though Loco(ocos, chosen by
