honored him with a title; that he had written

UNITED STATES DISTRICT CouRT-Hoa. GRo s.
BRYAN presiding Judge.-The Libel case OF tho
United States us. the. schooner 4rapeshot was
esumed. Mr CHARLES H. GRoyes, Deputy Col
10 ctor, and Mr.. NEIL, Dr. EDWARD KEcKELEY and
Mr.. JosRpHus WOODRUFF, Custom House hspec-
ors, deposed that they were engaged in tho seizure
storage and sale Of certain segars and rum found
on board Of the schooner Grapeshot in July last.
The articles were taken from the forecastle, and
it was stated at the time that they belonged to the
seamen, and the Captain appealed to the Collector
to release the goods, rs the sailors did not know
that they had violated the Revenue Laws. This
was not done and thesgoods were sold for $3.50.
The District Attorney proposed at this stage to
introduce GEORGE Smith, Captain Of tho Rcbecco
Hurst, to aubstantiate the testimony OF CAMPS
This was objected to by the respondents, and the
objection sustained by the Judge.
Tho case was then closed, but tho counsel for
the defence petitioned Court to be allowed to ro-
produce Mr. BANCROFT and Mr.. BLACK, who, as
experts, could testify to the quality Of the segars.
After some discussion from tho opposite sdo this
was granted, and it WAS stated that tho price in
this market would be s35 per 1000 for the cheaper
and s45 per 1000 for the better brand. The tobac-
co was very light and fimsy, and it would cost
more to import them than they could possibly be
sold for. Baracoa tobacco was Of the most in
ferior character, and was never or seldom i'm
ported, as there was no sale for it, and eargoes
had been shipped to Europe II order to dispose Of

INTERESTING DISCOfEkiES IN Dnh".".
report to the Belgian Minister OF the
Interior by Messrs. Van Beneden and Du-
mont furnishes additional information re-
rarding the curious researches. in the
primcval history of the human family that
now occupy so large portion of the at
tention Of the scientific world. These
gentlemen, who have long been engaged
in the pursuit, have been rewarded by the
discovery of what may be considered
model cave dwelling on the banks OF the
river Lcsse. It is described as well nsnted,
traversed by spring, easy 10 access, al"
its situation most picturesque-in SHOT,
possessing every requisite OF "desiraoie
family mansion" for our troglodytlc an
cestOrS. x,.od
Tho evidences of occupation presented
Ia, Tho cavern are most numerous anu III
nortant. The materials of the various stoho
;mnIemepts found in immense numbers,
fragments of minerals, flints, jet, shark
tooth. &C.. show that the inhabitants mus'
have enioved extended commercial reia-
lions with portions of Europe. Judging
from the quantity of bones found IN the
cavern. the principal food of the cave
dwoIIrrs must have been horse-iiesh, as
tho teeth of more than forty horses were
fnupd. The bones of the water rat, pad
rar hare boar. show that variety In Diet
was studied. The forearm of an elephant
or mammoth found in the same dwelling
is regarded by the discoverer rather as
fetish or idolatrous charm placed IN the
hearth in the same manner as still prac-
ticed by some African nations. Inc
worked nints, in various stages OF manulac-
turc. collected are more than 3o,ooo.
The cave appears to have been abandon
ed SO suddenly that the inhabitants lei,
behind them their tools, ornaments, ana
the remains of their meals. According 10
NJ. Dupont's theory, this must have arisen
from the approach of the sudden lnnnda-
tiop which covered tho whole of Belgium
and northern France, and swept away the
generation of the cave people. lmmc-
diately after they left it, the roof and sides
of the cave fell in, the pieces detached
covering the floor, and thus preserving the
remains from the action of the water undis-
turbed to this day. The writer reconstructs
from the materials at hand, whose evil
dence seems incontrovertlble, striking
picture of the condition and habits of the
early race of men in Belgium-a state that
seems to have prevailed over the greater
part of Europc. The remaining unsettled
nojnt of investigation is the ancestral rela-
