thirty to fifty feet im height, ital of a Snes ye ler this: joliage, sere of green, fruit, and ethers advanced to maturity, appear in mingled beauty. The trunk furmshes beams and rs for houses; the leaves make ‘an excellent thatch, es well ai umbrellas, mats for the floor, and brooms; while the finest fibres can be Woven into fine carpeting. The soysring of the young fruit is very curious, resembling a piece of thick cloth ‘in a conical form, as elose and firm as if it came from the loom. The nuts contain a delicious milk, and a kernel, sweeter than the almond, which, when dried, fur- nishes an abundance of oil, and after the oil is ex- . pressed, the remains feed cattle and poultry, and make a good manure. Arrack, vinegar and sugar are also made from this tree. The shell of the mut furmshes cups, ladles and other domestic uten- ails ; while the husk is of the utmost importance; 3t.i8 manufactured into ropes and cordage of every from the smallest twine to the largest cables, “and which are said to be far more durable than those of hemp. Then, what a blessing is the cocoa mut tree! Before reaching the entrance of the bay, some. twenty miles from land, we descried a fleet of eanoes under sail, managed with a skill that equals the best Whitehall boatmen, and on bearing down, found them to, contain Mandingo Indians, upon fishing excursions. We shipped one canoe with its two Indians, much to the chagrin of the occu- ts of the others, who cept upa furious jabber in their unknown tongue. We afterwards learned that the furious talker was a chief presumptive, which if known at the time, we would have taken him on board. na No pen can describe the exquisite feelings of se- rene delight that possessed the soul upon approach- ing ees islands. The pictures of early youth, so aborated in our toy-books, when the young brain takes the first and most lasting impression, were here spread before us. The solitary island, embo- somed in the blue ocean—the straight, stern and graceful wavy branches of the trees, brought back to ny those by-gone days of innocence and truth, ‘We cast ouranchor near the shore of Campbell’s Island. No men were visible; a knot of women and children were seen half-hiding behind the trees. Four of our party landed, who were re- ceived by,the women and children in ominous si- Tence, which produced some anxiety for personal safety; all fear, however, was dispelled upon the ar- al of Campbell, who, speaking a tew words of English, bade us welcome. He was very attentive, and presented one of the party with a splendid bow and quiver of arrows. Under his guidance, we visited the interior of the houses; Campbell's daughter lay sick of a fever; all the household gods were ranged in due order under the head of her hammock, and upon an altar, in front, the incense of cayenne and balsam wood perpetually ascended. Our good surgeon prescribed for her, much to the gratification of the fither : The women do not possces one single captiy ing charm. Their stature is not over five f heads large and face broad, with a gol! ting of triangle through the nose, huge square shoulders, no waist, all body: their hg , exposed from the knees, are encircled by fanciful bracelets of beads, making deep indentations; one above the ankle, one above and below the calt, and one above the knee. The protrusion of the flesh between these bracelets, produces pity in the minds of the be- holders.” ¥. that even this was te ‘et it was remarked, a far less prejudicial practice, than that which our American dames formerly indulged in, viz: the practice of encircling their lovely waists in whale- Bone compressions—a habit now happily aban- doned by all the fashionable beauties. The men are short and stumpy, not over five feet six inches on the average, thick and square-built, and are capable of enduring great fatigue. Their heads are remarkably large and round. ures rominent, with all the physiognomy of the Jew. hey have a vluralitv of wives, accordinc to their . 2 treo on means. They permit no communication with fo- reigners, and the woman so offending is stoned to death. It is a part of their religious creed to keep their race pure and unadulterated. They profess to have a restorative for the organs of reproduction, the eflect of which, upon one administration, will last for eight years. Our surgeon fortunately ob- tained some of the remedy, which has been pro- nounced part and parcel of the body of the turtle. ‘A question arose as to whether this people be not descendents of one of the lost tribes of Israel? Upon our arrival, Col. Hughes distinctly*tvowed the purpose of his visit, viz: to make a journey overland to the Pacific ; but he was referred to the “old man,” who alone could give a reply. The “old man” was accordingly sent for, and on the third day he made his appearance. In the mean- time, we had ample opportunities of talking with the natives, and some of our conversations eventu- ated to our great amusement. It is difficult to decide whether they are su- premely ignorant or excessively cunning. They are careful in answering questions in regard to their country, and are jealous of all foreigners. ‘They have never submitted to any ‘oreign govern- ment, and, although they are within the bounds of the New Granadian government, they pay no tri- bute wor admit of any allegiance whatever. We fo. some pleasant and amusing acquaintance among the head men, who speak a few words of English, taken up from the crews of vessels from Jamaica and Cesshegenss that occasionally visit to trade. Mr. John Bull, Mr. ‘Tom Campbell, Mr. ‘Tom Bat, Mr. Tim Baggs, Mr. Toby, t, &e., &e., themselves very complaisant in par- taking of the hospitalitics of the Orus. ; In the course of a cross examination made with a view to get some clue to their early history the following question was asked :—‘ Who live: here 400 or 500 years ago?” The reply was, “Tium’s Father.” ‘This reply disturbed the gravity of all who heard it. Now, Tim isa downright ‘ood fellow, and has travelled ; he has been to Falumore, and he knows much of the world ; be- sides, he 1s the eon of the old man, the wise one. On another occasion, a man with the appcar- ance of sixty years was asked how old he was; he replied, 121 years. They keep no note of time, and remark no other object than the full moon. On Sunday morn, April 22, the old man arrived, and, with his grand counsellors, appeared in the cabin of the steamer, which was cleared for a council chamber. The old man possesses the most amiable, intellectual and pleasant physignomy of any of his tribe, and he presided with great dignity. Col. Hughes and suite occupied seats in the Council. The following talk was then held by means of an interpreter :— Cotorr:. Hecnes.—I come from Washington, in Ame- rica. My old man—great chief. chief of twenty millions of Americans—sends me to talk to the old man of Man- ingo’s great tribe. My old man loves the old man of Mandingo, and sends hin his regat Ovo Max.—Old man of Mandingo loves old man of America. Huoo, huoo, buco,” repeated similar to groans by all the council. Cor. Hucnes.—Old man of America has much land, afar off, on the Pacific, too much days to catch em by land ; too much days to catch ‘em by water, round Cape Horn ; wants to make a road nearer—catch ‘em quick ; wants old man to send some faithful Indians, to ereort him over the land, to the Pacific, to let him eee if the land is good for a road. Op Man.—Land not good ; can’t catch ‘em there ; better eatch ‘em by Cape Horn ; no make a road in Mandingo country—God Almighty get vexed. “Huoo, huoo, buco, huoo,”’ repeated in groans by the Indians. Cou, He Onn Max “ Huoo, huoo, huoo,” responded again the Indians, and the Council broke up Previous to the interview with the old man, Col. Hughes had satisfied himself of the character of the harbors, of the coast, and of, the rivers, and had already pronounced them unfit for his purpose —the deep waters presenting no convenient anechor- age, and the rivers having but two to three feet depth of wa ‘Thus ended the expedition to the Mandingo Bay. We weighed anchor at 10 0’clock, and, taking Mr. John Bull as pilot, discharged him, with a certs r, two hours after. Durini our stay at the island, upon the earnest entreaty oF the several chiefs, the party bestowed their naines upon several of the youth: ‘A son of @ chief, Thomas Campbell, was named Colonel Geerge W. Hughes ‘A son of a chief. Tim Bates, man, was named Wim. Norris. A son of @ chief, John Bull, was named William H. Sidell. A son of a chief, Tom Bat, was named Dr. M. B.

A son of a chief, Qualovinkla, Orus, And another promising youth was called Brother Jonathan, being a son of John Bull The above names have been carefully preserved by the respective recipients, and they will here- alter be known only by those names. On Mon- day, 23d April, we arrived at Chagtes, and pro- eceded up the fiver to Gorgona, well pleased with our remarkable voyage to a country #0 little known, and thankful for the civilities and good cheer shown us by Captain Tucker, of the Oras. 1¥8.—Will you allow us to go across ? ai nd grandson of the old as named Steamboat NEWS FROM THE PAPERS. ‘We have reevived the Panama Star, published at Pa- ams, of the 8th, 16th, and 224 uit., from which we make the following extracts, as indicative of the way tn which the American emigrants are getting on:— (From the Panama Star, 8th April.) Govennairxt Atp.—Our attention has been called, by a gentleman now in the city, to the importanee of our home government placing more of her national vessels on the Pacific. The question was mooted in the States during the late session of Congress, and warmly advo. eated in influential quarters, whether a number of our maval verrels could not be profitably employed on thia eonst, in the jon of commerce, and expeeially in she trankport of ronan ie to California, Oregon, &e Mow many are lying idle jo our ports, and rotting om the stocks, their officers ut , and making no re- turn to the gevernment or This isa senestion, however. distinct from the power of government to employ its vessels in commercial traf- fic. That is another branch of the question, and one on which we confess ourselves just now not posted up Of the benefits that would publicly and individually result from such an enterprise, there can be no question; and if the power is vested in the Secretary of the Navy ko to act, or if Congress shonid a resolution so au- thorizing him, it would result in more profitable em- ployment of some of our war steamers than they could now in any way be appropriated. At all events, whatever objections might be justly urged against thus employing our naval vessels, it oor- tainly would be appropriating our store- ships, that are despatched to the ports on this coast, to legitimate service, after discharging their cargoes, to touch at this point, and assume the character of pas- senger vessels, for the benefit of a valuable portion of American population, embarked in the laudable enter- prise of peopling our new territories. Let this matter be considered and acted on in the States. A Southern poet, who cannot raise funds enough to get to the gold diggings, thus pours out his full soul im glowing strains:— as an elephant, trunk and travel; And away in Californ 1'd soon be scratching gravel,’ Communicated. It is a matter of the greatest, suprise to us, that among some fifteen hundred intelligent Americans, unpored of almost every class of citizens—merchants, wyers, physicians, mechanics. and not a few editors— who at’ home have been considered, and justly. too, men of intellect, shrewdness and tact, men acquainte: with every variety of business—that no means have as yet been adopted caleulated to fix the relation which commercially does exist. aud which should particularly here be kept in view, between the owners of vessels and those who have to pay their money for freight and pas- sage. It must be perfactly clear to the mind of every ian, that while the owners of property in ships, sent to this port because they are aware that the demand will warrant the adventure, have a right to ask any price for passage or freight to Sun Francisco that they may believe themselves capable of obtaining, yet it is equally true that the passengers themselves have some- thing tosay in the matter—and those who pay the money, who have caused the demand, and upon whose fit the vessels must depend, cither for a fuir and rea- sonable remuneration, or a loss of time and money, can themselves reduce, to a just standard, the tariff of prices, But if the true freighters, we may almost say the controllers of the vessels, (the passengers.) them- felves, have no system of unanimity. but continue to bid against each other, the inevitable result will be to increase enormously the rates, in the way which we shall presently explain, While the passengers are hus raising prices by bidding against themselves, a ich opportunity is presented to a few industrious, hardworking and enorgetic men, we doubt not, to step in, and by industriously giving publicity to the rumors of the immense number of persons ed can- i awaiting passage, by professing, with feign dor, a belief that no vessels can or will a supply the demand, and by continually strivi cite the apprehensions of men not so well informed as themselves as to the fact that the demand will produce the requisite supply—by keeping back the trath, well known to themselves, that vessels sufficient to carry every man off the Isthmus are already on their way here, they are enabled to line their own pockets well with the money of men now poorly able to feed their avaricious maws. Acase in point:—The British brig “Two Friends’ arrived here a few days since, consigned to a respecta- ble merchant in this place; hardly had she anchored, when she was boarded and chartered for the high price .000, of which $5,700 must be paid for forfeiture of her charter party; yet, from the anxiety and uncer- tainty among the ‘emigrants here, above referred to. the contracting parties were enabled to fill her up at the exorbitant rate of $250 for a steerage and $350 for a cabin passage. Had this feverish excitement not been actively fostered ; had the passengers beon true to themselves, this same vessel would have been chartered on such terms as to have cnabled her to sail, taking the same number of passengers, at the moderate rate of $150 each. With these facts before thom, we carnestly trust that all true Americans will as one man arise—and while they will cheerfully pay not only fair, but highly remu- nerative prices for passage te San Francisco, thev wi at once put down the nefarious practices and extortions of all who show themselves disposed to take udyan- tuge of their apparont uccceritics, Heatrn o tHe Crrv.—We are advised by old resi- dents that the health of the city is as good as usual; if such is the fact, there are few towns of this size in the States that can boast of a better bill of health, Since our last, four vessels have arrived in port, and we are glad to announce three more in sight, of numbers known to be on their way. Proclamation of the Governor of Panama :— Tomas Hunnena, Governor of the Province of Pana- ma, considering— Ist, That recently many transient persons have in- troduced the practice of discharging frearmsamong the population of this city and its suburbs, at all hours of the day and night ; 2d, That this practice is dangerous under all aspects, and that a case has occurred where a ball discharged from a rifle struck within the distance of haifa yard of an individual ; 3d, That it {s the duty of the Governor to protect the persons of the citizens whose safety is threatened by these extemporancous discharges of firearms ; 4th, That as it is probibited by article 77th of the 2d law, 3d part, 1st_ treaty of the New Granadian Recopi- lation, that in the imbabited parts there shall be no shops, stores, or other edifices with powder or other explosive combustibles, greater necessity exists to pro- hibit the discharge of firearms, inasmuch as they are voluntary acts of individuals; whilo the shops, stores, or other ‘edifices for the deposit of powder, &c., can offer no danger, inasmuch av they are carefully pre- served: I do, therefore, in the exercise of the powers in- vested in me by the articles 4th and 35th of the Ist law, 2d part, Ist treaty of the New Granadian Re- copilation, DECREE, Art. 1, The discharge of firearms within this city or its suburbs, with or without balla, at any hour of the day or night, is strictly prohibited.

Born Rascat.—On Wednesday, a fine pistol, one of Colt’s small revolvers, was stolen from the counter of Johnston’s auction room, where it had been left for sale, A reward of $50 has been offered for the property and thief. Johnston didn’t suppore that the pistol would “go off” so readily; but whers there is such a demand for rascals as there is hero, there must be a corresponding demand for pistols, The association for the relicf of the sick and desti- tute Americans, will give a second eutertainment in aid of its funds, on Wednesday evening, 18th inst., at 8 o'clock, at the American Hotel. Mr. A. ©, Bradford has consented to lecture on the state of learning from the fall of Rome before the Goths, in the 5th century, to the fall of Constantino- ple before the Turks, in the 15th century. A musical entertainment will be provided, consisting of several favorite glees and melodies, by an amateur club. ‘The committee urge upon their fellow countrymen the necessity of effort to establish a sufficient fund to provide for the wants of the sick and destitute, so many of whom are now unfortunately here ; and espe cially to sustain the hospital which has been estab- lished for their convenience by this association. The committee have decided to make no specific charge for admission, but each person entering will be called upon to contribute seootding to his ability, at the door. Seats will be reserved for ladies.

The father and two sons had pitched their tent there, where they provided refreshments to emigrants, as a means of Titing without expense, while kept on the isthmus. The father and elder brother had left the tent on business, we understand, and on their return, on Wednesday morning, found the wounded man lying insensible, his head shockingly bruised, and a trunk broken open and rifled. There was money in another trunk, we are advised, but the villain or villains did not. open it ; so they perpetrated their crime for a small recompense, The young man was carried into the city on a litter the following morning. This, and the robberies taking place every ho 8 or two, date the beginning of a series of crimes on the isthmus, we doubt mot, which will rank in atrocity with any in the calendar, People cannot be too cautious now and henceforth. Bown Ronseares.—A gentleman from New York, named Bird, lad his trunk opened by a false key, and $47 stolen therefrom, while absent a short time from on Monday last, A lot of money inanother trunk was left—because it was not found. «has a shrewd suspicion who the villain is, A few days since be had his Panama hat stolen from the same quarte Mr. Seouten/of Indiana, who went to bed Be: with his pantaloons on, in the pocket of whieh he had $170 in gold, got wi in the morking and found himself, his pantaloons and pocket all there, bat the gold, was absent. ‘Tho robbery, perpetrated under such clreame stances, must have been the triumph of professional genius A Cunsesity.—The greatest enriosity among the tives, sinee the water-cart hus become a common aight, isa fine American horsegsixteenfhands hi roportioned, which a gentleman brought over from .ouisiana and succeeded in getting to the city on Tuesday last.

The scramble for the minor offices of the Balti- more custom house and post offiee 13 much strong- er than that for the upper grade of offices was pre- vious to the appointments; and every man who held tickets at a ward window, or carned a trans- pareney during the past four years, considers him- self as having an undeniable claim for, an office. 1 presume that there will be a general sweep made in the custom house, but I doubt whether much in this line will be done in the post office. Mr. Mad- dux haying been kept in, himself by several de- mocratic postmasters, will feel himself in rather an awkward position if called on to remove his old associates, especially if they are good officers.

An aflray occurred this morning, in Southwark, between two young fellows, which had nearly re- sulted in fatal consequences. ‘The scene occurred in a house directly in the rear of the church of St. Phillip de Neri, kept by Mrs. Davis, with whom four young girls boarded. Among the visiters at the house were Hiram S. Rich, known there as Mr. Smith, and Samuel Linton, a returned volun- teer. These two gallants were jealous of the girls, and last night they had a scuffle together, in which Rich came off second best. They both met at the same house this morning, Rich having prepared himself for an encounter, with a heavy cane and a loaded pistol. They quarrelled, of course, and Rich split his cane by striking Linton over the head; the latter ran down into the cellar, and arming himself with a poker, returned and renewed the battle, inflicting severe wounds upon the head of his rival, who calling out enough, Lin- ton desisted, and Rich seated himself on a settee on one side of the room. He drew out his pastel, and pointing it at Linton, while one of the girls was hexite him endeavoring to prevent him from using it, he blazed away, the charge passing between her arm and bedy, and entered Linton’s leg. Rich was arrested, and held to bail to answer the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. Linton is so much hurt that it 1s considered dangerous to movehim. .
