KALOSH INDIANS AT SITICA.—These people dwell in a bong line of rude houses outside the settlement. Their dwellings are shanties on a large scale, with a small entrance, often circular in shape, and a hole in the roof to let the smoke out. The idea of their construction must have been derived from the Russians ; in some cases the very unusual circumstance of the sleeping-rooms being apart from the main chamber was to be observed. The Kaloslies are by no means a prepossessing people, and have a ba I reputation. Their dress is commonly a blanket, at least in summer time; they frequently black their f ices all over, and sometimes paint themselves in red, back, and blue strips and patches. They wear a pin of bone or metal stuck in their lower lip; this is sail to denote maturity; it is at least never worn by the young. They appear to be more than usually lazy natives, probably from the fact that nature has been so kind to them; salmon is abundant, deer and bear meat are to be had for hunting, and the berries are innumerable. Their canoes are much inferior to those of the lower roast, whilst their skin " baidarckes" (kyrscks) are not equal to those of Norton Sound and the Northern coast. Their grave boxes, or tombs, are interesting; they contain only the ashes of the dead. These people invariably burn the deceased. On one of the boxes I saw a number of faces painted, long tresses of human hair depending therefrom. Eacn head represented a victim of the (happily) deceased one's ferocity. In his day he was, doubtless, more esteemed than if he had never harmed a fly. All their graves are much ornamented with carved and painted feces and other devices.—Teavel and Ad. venftinui fie• Prrikri qf elitc49!  On Saturday morning, about five o'clock, a shocking murder was committed at Bucker's Hotel, I, Chris tupher-street, Vinsbury, the victim belt g • female whose name is at present unknown, but is presumed to b • an " unfortunate" who has been in the habit 0! plying her vocation in the City Road. At the hour above-named a police-constable was called to the hotel, and told that one of the porters, of the name of Jacob Spina-, had murdered a female whom he hail brought into the house with him. Spines, who Was very much the worse for liquor, was taken into custody, and on the constable proceeding to the kitchen he found a woman lying just outside the door dead. Her head WS3 fractured and battered in. Her clothes were covered with blood and disarranged, and it was evident that she had struggled severely before she met bar death. The bed clothes we,e also covered with blood. On making a search under the bed a brass candlestick was found, which was bent, and had on it blood and hair. It was plain that the prisoner and the unfortunate woman had been drinking, there being some bottles open that had contained wine. The prisoner was taken to the Old Street Police Station, and there he was charged with feloniously killing a woman unknown. When told the charge he made no reply. The prisoner was examined at the Worship-street Police Court on Saturday, and remanded.
