MISCELLANEOUS.
Pleasant Island. At. 2 P. M. on thn 1st
February, made 1'Ioasant Island this island
was passed by Cant Feares in the vear 1739!
upon his authority, Horsburgh places it in
tai. xu nun. a., ion. Iu7 deg. 10 minutes K.
from Greenwich. As 1 neared thc land seve
ral canoes came alongside; there were about
eight or ten natives in each; they brought
with them for sale a few very small fowls,
seme cocoa-nuts, and two or three straw hats ;
thc latter they had been tauirht to make bv
v 3 "J
the Europeans these articles they were ex
ceedingly anxious to barter lor trinkets, beads
pipes and tobacco; thc latter were most in
demand; they all appeared tiuitc adepts in
the art of bargaining. The men are about
the middle size, well but not robustly made,
of a dark copper color, with a very smooth,
sleek skin, they had no beard, hair black and
straight; they have no affinity to the Papuan
race, uui are evidently, lrorn their high cheek
bones and errcgular cast of features. Mala
yan race; and from what 1 saw of the natives
at tne island ot Ascension, one of the L aro
linas, North Pacific. I am of opinion that thev
are both sprung from the same origin. Four
of the women came alongside' and if they
were a sample, thev may be considered ra
ther good looking, havinir a verv fine ex-
pression, black eyes shaded by a beautiful
long aarK lasri, features regular, figure good,
rather inclined to be stout, thev appeared na
turally graceful and easy in their manner;
tneir aress consisted ol a piece ot native cloth
round the waist; the men wore the maro
the usual dress amonff nearly all the Polv-
j - j
nesian islands; it is made of several tiers of
dried crass, about eighteen inches lone.
strung together, and fastened round their
waist.
Both sexes appeared to be mild and tracta
ble in tlieir manner, but much addicted to
pilfering: we detected several in tho attemnt:
- y
when threatened they did not denv the crime.
or consider the expected punishment uniust.
These natives, unlike prototypes on the island
oi Ascension in tins respect, have no tradition
of their origin, or the manner their forefa
thers first came on the island; they have no
in a future state; they appear, however, to
have some slight idea of an evil spirit.
When hovc-tooirthe island, an European
came on board, who stated himself to be
George Lovctt, a deserter from the London
whaler Oflley. He brought ofTa list of thc
whalers, with their success, that had recent
ly touched there.
This island and many others in thc Pacific,
arc infested by. Europeans, who arc either
runaway convicts, expirees, or deserters
from whaler, and are for the most part men
of the very Worst description, who it appears
prefer living a precarious life of indolence
and case with the unenlightened savage,
rather than submit to the restraint of the sal
utary laws of civilized society; they live in
a manner easily to be imagined from men of
this class, without either law, religion or e
ducation to control them w ith an unlimited
quantity of ardent spirits, which they obtain
from distilling thc toddy that exudes from the
cocoa-nut tree; this spirit is not verv palata
ble, but it serves, to use their own exprcs-
sion, to "tickle tne brain." When under the
influence of intoxication the most atrocious
crimes are committed by these miscreants,
who must, both by their pernicious example
and advice, do much iniurv to this naturally
mild and well disposed race of men, and will
retard considerable the great work of civili
zation and Christianity, whenever these bles
sings are uU'cml them by thc servant of God.
These fiends frequently urge the different
tribes to war and deeds'of blood, in ordor to
participate in the spoils of the vanquished.
It was notorious, more especially among
the Sydney whalers, who occasionally call at
4 11 1 , t
mis island, ana tne fact was 1 believe, not
unknown 10 me government autnonties in
Sydney, that there were several runaway.
uuuuiy-coiivicieu icions, wno nau cut out a
whale boat, and made their escape from thc
penai settlement ol XNorJoIlc Island, and were
living in this place for several years. It ap
pears there were four of these villains at first;
two of them subsequently left in an American
whalers, either to carry their pernicious in
fluence to some of thc adjacent islands, or
proceeded to America; the remaining two
were well known by thc names of Paddy and
Jones. Thc former died of dysentery some
time since, and Lovctt gives the following
account of the latter, who appears to have
been a most desperate and depraved char
acter. Lovctt obtained his information from
the natives who were present at the time,
and I have since been confirmed of its truth
by the testimony of a master of a whaler who
touched at this island shortly aftev the event
nil.. . '
auuueu to iook place.
It appears that on thc 15th of October,
1811, eleven Europeans were deliberately
murdered by the monster Jones, in tho fol
lowing manner: ho invited them all to visit
him to pcrtake of a feast and when he had cot
nis yictims intoxicated with thc island spirit,
he gave them food in which he had nrn.
viously mixed poison; this proved fatal to
seven the remaining four having refused to
eat, he watched his opportunity and shot
them. Most of these men are supposed to
have been deserters from thn Yi.ll.i.lr
Sydney whaler. The only cause which in
stigated the monster to this wholsalo murder
was jealousy, he being fearful that some of
these unfortunate men might supersede him
iir his influence with the natives, over whom
he had hitherto unlimited control. To re
move suspicion from himself he endeavored
to make it appear that the deed had been
perpetrated by some of the natives, which
they indignantly denied, and in consequence
withdrew their countenance from him, and
he was subsequently compelled to leave the
island.
On my passage down to China. I went on
board the ship William Gillies, from Macao.
and learnt from her that Jones had arrived
there from Guam, nnd was anxious to shin
far England. Jones was personally known
to some of the Gillies' crew.
It is to be feared that these horrible scenes
of bloodshed and depravity are of frequent
occurrence among thc Polynesian Isles, more
especially to tho westward, where no effort
has been made to introduce civilization and
Christianity. In many of these places tho
Europeans are very numerous; on tho island
of Ascension, which I visited 1841. there
were upwards of sixty, and will doubtless.

"Tin: JIest joke or the season. Mr.
Urownson in thc last Democratic Review
concluded a scries of profoundly studied ar
ticles on the Origin of Government, which
we place among the ablest and most valua
ble political essays that have ever appeared
in this country. Put in thc midst of general
clearness and strength, Mr. Brownson some
times undertakes to define what is undefina
blc, and to grasp in logical formula what is
far too subtle to be caught by the coarse
meshes of human language. He defines
Humanity thus:
Weare to bear in mind that thc genus
Humanity what we call human nature is
no logical abstraction, but a real existence,
independent of individuals. This is only say-
nig mai, iiuiiiuiiuy is Iiuinuilll V. A Ilia set
tled, we may proceed a step further. Hu
manity in this generic sense, is causative,
active, creative. This is affirmed in affirm
ing that humanity is a reality. Our notion
of reality is our notion of being or substance,
or something that is. Put our notion of
something that is that is to say, of being or
substance, is precisely our notion of cause
or causative force."
Thc editor of the Wilkcsbarrc (Pa.) far
mer quizzes the philosopher in tho follow
ingrich strain which if Mr. Prownson him
self can read without thc healthful enjoyment
of a hearty laugh, he is graver than we are.
"We are to bear in mind that tho genus
of humbug, what we call natural humbug, is
no logical abstraction, but has a real exist
ence as much as a shad, and in some sort in
dependent of fodder and friends just after
being elected to a fat office, though never
actually separable from individuals before
election. This is only saying that humbug
is still humbug, any way you choose to fix it.
This part of the weather being settled, wo
will venture a step or two further. Humbug,
in this pepper and ginger sense, is causative
of gammon, active as thc greased end of
perpetual motion, creative of promises and
pancakes. This is both sworn to and affirm
ed in affirming that humbug is a member of
tho regular army. Our notion of being a
member of thc regular army is our faith in
factions and faith is the substance of things
not seen. Put our notion of something that
is, is our notion of a jackass, for a jackass
is and not only is, that is to say is; but a
jackass, physically considered, conveys pre
cisely our notion of cause, kicking, and
causative force, and exists independent of
individuals, so docs a meeting house.
