" -Aq distinguished party OF four Fe.jee Is!!-
.anders have recently arrived in this country.
They were In 81. Joseph, NO., lew Gays ago,
but, owing 10 the cold weather, their proprie-
tor, (for the visit seems TO be speculation,)
removed them TO :he, South for the winter.
They are said to bs specimens Of the genuine
cannibals of the Feejee Islands. although one
G ofthem, Princess 0barah, has become Chris
,ianized, speaks Epglish, and has given up an
t1fop0phagy as q pursuit. "Ths distinguished
yfsitors,n says tsei st. Joseph Herald, ''were

Princess obaSah, q lat, mulberry female OF
.abont twenty-five years, the granddaughter
oi the Emperor of two hundred thousand peo-

The horrors Of the first reports Of the re-
cent butchery Of students at Havana are in
tensifed BY the descriptions which come by
mail. The offence for which the volunteers
compelled such bloody reparation was the
breaking of the glass that covers the niche
of CasiaDon's tomb, and the destruction Of
piants Over ov1ie the graSe Of Guzman ell Buero by
party of thoughtsss boys freed irc.'. ::ssc -e-
straints of medical lecture. There was not
even a pretence of trial. The victims were
chosen by lot, one out Of every five, and 1t is
established that three out of the eight
had mot been in the cemetery. The
oldest OF these youths was not over
eighteen. The 'thirfy-one not sentenced
to death by lot were condemned to the
chain gang for periods varying nom two to
ten years; and the sentences of these latter
we're carried into such immediate execution
that they appeared with their hair cut short,
In oonvicts' dress, and guarded by armed vol.
unteers at the murdering of their classmates,
which they were forced to witness. They are
now slowly dying under the severity OF their
punishment. The father Of one of the vic
tins was shot and wounded for the crime oi
elasping the corpse OF bis son with tears, and
the mothers Of two have.become demented
through grief. 1t is evident that the condi.
tion of Havana cannot be made much worse.
The houses are closed, only mourning is worn,
no ladies' are seen at the opera, and murders
in the streets number many each day.
