CANN1BALs CHAsTIsED.-Panama, Feb. s.
The U. >. sloop-of- war, John Adams, E. B.
Boutwell, commander, arrived at this port
early on Sunday morning from Fejee Islands,
via Valparaiso. The John Adams left this
port in July last, bound to the Fejee Islands,
to inquire into and seek PREPARATION for many
cruelties committed by the natives, and to de-
mand indemnity for the plumber of several
American ships trading and fishing on the Fe-
jean Archipelago. During the cruising of the
John Adams in the Fejee group of islands,
hive sharp engagements took place between
hef crew and the cannibals OF Polynesia
FIVE OF their largest towns were burnt, and
all the houses therein reduced to ashes. An
important treaty was also ratified between
Commander Boutwell, and TUT Vite, or Tho
kamban, the king of Fejee, on behalf Of the
American government.

The House COunmittecs.

An examination of the Committees Of the
House of Representatives at Washington,
shows that Speaker Banks has exercised good
Judgment and great fsirness in their selection.
Indeed It is absolutely refreshing to witness,
for once, proper representation of the free
sentiment of the country on the Congressional
Committees And yet, we can defy even the
most ultra pro-slavery man to find any cause
for complaint with the constitution of them,
on the score Of secttonasism. In fact, the
= present is the frst instance on record, of late
years, when that charge could not validity be
made. Every interest of the country, North,
South, East. and West, is here represent
ed, and by its strongest men. If a due pre-
ponderance is given in favor of the TRENDS OF
freedom, sufficient to ensure proper consld-
eration-of. and favorable report upon all sub
jects bearing upon the slavery question, our
bunker friends cannot but look upon it as
mere act of justice to the majority, to which,
as the majority, they are justly entitled,
If Mr.. Banks had chosen to initiate the
prosciptive course pursued by the opposition,
in the Senate, be might have excluded all of
their most prominent men from important po-
sitions on the Committees, but he has exhib-
tied commendable discretion in appointing
them to places where they can be heard. The
old fogies in the other branch might learn a
wise lesson from his example. If any party
organization in the country was ever really
a unhealthy" It is the Administration, Ne
braska, and South American factions in
Congress. But with iberality characters
tic both of himself and the organization Of
which he is the representative, the new Speak
er assigned the ablest representatives of those
factions, places where the interests and views
Of which they are the embodiment, can be
properly heard. THIS is as it should be. At
the same time, he has taken wise precaution
to secure a majority Of those of his own po-
litical faith upon all the important Commit
tees.
The following table exhibits classification
of the various Committees, according to the
political creed of their members. Those in
the Republican column, include, besides those
who voted for Banks TOR Speaker, Messrs.
Harrison and Moore of Ohio, and Scott and
Dunn Of Indiana, who were elected as Re-
publicans, and win probably vote with them
on most questions. A large portion of those
claimed as South Americans" voted for
Aiken for Speaker, on the last ballot. The
two right hand columns designate the geo.
graphical classification of the Committees =.
