Captain Gay and his baggage were now
Mt on shore, and it wu soon apparent to'
his men that whilst he nursed himself in
the pure climate and pleasant ahadea of
Tahiti, they were to put to sea under the
mete's orders, and after a certain time to
iouch again at the island, and take off their
commander. The vessel was not even al
lowed to go into port, although needing re
pairs, and iu fact unseaworthy ; and as to
healing the sick, selfish Paper Jack thought
only of solacing his own infirmities. The
fury of the ill-fed, reckless, discontented
crew, on discovering the project of their
superiors, passed all bounds. Chips and
Bungs volunteered to head a mutiny, and a
round-robin was drawn up and signed. But
when Wilson, an old acquaintance of Guy'a,
and acting consul in the absence of Mis
sionary Pritchard, came on board, the gal
lant cooper, who derived much of his cour
age from the grog-kid, was cowed and
craven. The grievances brought forward,
amongst others that ol the salt-horse, (a
horse's hoot with the shoe on, so swore the
cook, had been found in the pickle,) were
treated as "trifles and pooh-poohed by the
functionary, *?a minute gentleman with a
viciously pugged nose, and a decidedly thin
pair of leg;s." But if Bungs allowed him
self to be brow-beaten, so did not hia com
rades. Yankee Salem flourished a bowie
knife, and such alarming demonatrations
were made, that the counsellor, as the sai
lors persisted in calling the consul, thought
it wise to beat a retreat. Jermin, now tried
his hand, holding out brilliant prospects ol
a rich cargo of sperm oil, and a pocket full
of dollars for every man on his return to
Sydney. The mutineers were proof alike
againat menace and blan !i?hment, and, at
the secret instigation of Long Ghost and
Typee, resolutely refused to do duty. The
consul, who had promised to return, did
not show ?and at last the mate, having now
but a few invalids and landsmen to work
the ship and keep her off shore, was com
pelled to enter the harbor. The Jolia came
to an anchor within cable's length of the
French frigate, on board which Consul Wil
son repaired to obtain assistance. The
Reine Blanche was to sail in a few days
for Valparasio, and the mutineers expected
to go to with her and be delivered up to a
British man-of-war. Undismayed by this
prospect, they continued stanch in their
contumacy, and presently an armed cntter,
' painted a 1 pirate black' its crew a dark,
grim-looking set, and the officers uncom
monly fierce-looking little Frenchmen,"
conveyed them on board the frigate, where
they were dnly hand-cuffed, and secured by
the ankle to a great iron bar bolted down to
the berth-deck.
On their stubborn refusal p to do duty
they were given lin charge to a fat, good
humored I ahitian, called Captain Bob,
who, at the head of an escort of natives,
conveyed them up the country to a sort of
shed, known as the Calabooza Beretanee or
English jail, used as a prison for refractory
aailors. Thia commences Typee's shore
going adventures, not less pleasant and ori
ginal than hia see-faring ones; although it
?e with some regret that we lose sight of the
vermin-haunted barque, on whose board
such strange and exciting scenes occurred.
Throughout the book, however, fun and
incident abound, and we are consoled for
our separation from poor little Jule, by the
curious insight we obtain into the manners
morals, and condition of the gentle savages!
on whom -an attempted civilization nas
brought far more curses than blessings.
" HoWploMant were the tongs of Toobonai,"
How gladsome and grateful the ruatle of
leaves andI tinkle of rills, snd silver-toned
voices of Tabitian maidens, to the rough
??M?en who had so long been ? cabined,
cribbed, confined," in the Julia's filthy fore
castle ! Not that they were allowed free
range of the Eden or the South Seas. On
board the Reine Blanche their ankles had
been manacled to an iron bar; in the cala
booza, (from the Spenish calabozo, a dun
geon,) they were placed In rude wooden
stocks twenty feet long, constructed for the
particular benefit of refractory mariners.
There they lay, merry men all of a row, fed
upon taro (Indian turnip) and bread-fruit,
and covered up at night with one huge
counterpane of brown lappa, the native
cloth. It was owing to no friendly indul
gence on the part of Guy and the consul,
that their diet was so agreeable and salu
tary. Every morning Ropey came grin
mng into the prison, with a bucket full of
the old worm-eaten biscuit from the Julia
it was a huge treat to the unfortunate cock
ney, thus to be instrumental in the annoy'
fH I .u Lmer Persecul""; and lucky
for him that their limbo'd legs prevented
their rewarding l>m visible exultation oth
erwise than by a shower of maledictions.
They .wore to starve rather than consume
the niageoty provender. Luckily the na
T?* S? Ty di"'erent ^t'mation.
They did not m.nd magg0u,and held Brit
ish biscuit t& be a piquant and delicious
delicacy. So in exchange for their allotted
ration, the mutineers obtained a small quan
tity of vegetable food, and an unlimited
supply of oranges; thanks to which re
freshing regimen, the sick were speedily
restored to health. And after a few days ol
stocks and submissions, jolly old Captair
Bob, who spoke sailor's English, and oh
stinately claimed intimacv with Captair
Cook?whose visit to the island had oc
cm red some yean before his birth?relaxet
his severity, and allowed the captives theii
freedom during the day. They profiled o
this permission u> forage a little, in a quie
way; assisting at pig-killings, and droppint
in at dinner-time upon the wealthier o
their neighbors. Tahitian hospitality ii
boundless, and the more praiseworthy tha

but a scanty amount of edibles. Biead

the population of Tahiti at about two hun
dred thousand. By a regular census taken
some four or five yeara ago, it was found to
be only nine thousand !" Diseases of vari
ous kinds, enrtrely of European introduc
tion, and chiefly the result of drunkenness
and debauchery, account for this frightful
decrees0, which must result in the extinc
tion of the aborigines.
? The palm-tree hall grow,
The coral shall spreao,
But man shall cease."
So runsan old Tahitian propecy, soon to be
realized. And if Potnaiee, who is under
forly years of age, proves a long-lived
sovereign, she may chance to find hersell a
queen without subjects'. Concerning her
majesty and her court, Typee isdifluseand
diverting. .This is an age of queens, and
though her dominions be of the smallest,
her people few and feeble, and her preroga
tive wofully clippled, she of Tahiti, has
made sotne noise in the world, and attracted
a fair share of public attention. At one
time, indeed, she was almost as mnch
thought of and talked about as her more
civilized and puissant European sisters. In
France, La Reint Pomaree? was lookfd
upon as a far more interesting person?g?
than Spauish Isabel or Portuguese Maria;
and extraordinary notions were formed as
to the appearance, habits, and attributes ol
her dusky majesty. Distance favored de
lusion, and French imagination ran riot in
conjecture, until the reports of the valiant
Thouars, and his squadron of protection,
dissipated the enchantment, and reduced
Pomaree to her true character, that of a
lazy, dirty, licentious, Polynesian savage,
who'walks about barefoot, drinks spirits,
and hen-pecks her husband. Her real
name is Ainiuta, but she assumed, on as
cended the throne, the royal patron} mc
by which she is best known There were
Caesars in Rome, there are Pomarees in
Tahiti. The name was originally assumed
by the great Otoo, (to be read o( in Cap
tain Cook,) who united the whole island
under one crown. It descended to hi. son,
and then to hia grandson, who came to
the throne an infant, and, dying young,
was succeeded by her present majesty, Po
maree Fahinee I., the first female Pomaree.
This lady has been twice married. Her
first husband was a king's son, but tlfc
. union was ill-assorted, a divorce obtained,
| and she took up with one Tanee, a chief
from the neighboring island of Imeeo.
She leads hiin a doa's lift, And he fconsolee
himseU by getting drunk. In that state, he
now and then violently breaks out, con
temns the royal authority, thrashes his
wife, and smashes the crockery. Captain
Rob gave Typee an account of a burst of
this sort, which occurred about seven years
ago. Stimulated hy the seditious advice
of his boon compahions, and under the
influence of an uuusally large dose of strong
waters, the turbulent king-consort forgot
the respect due to bis wire and sovereign,
mounted his horse, and ran full tilt at the
| royal cavalcade, out (or their afternooti ride

Pomaree, who stood her ground like a man,
and apostrophized her insubordinate spouse
in the choicest Tahitian billingsgate. For
once her eloquence failed of effect. Drag
ged from her house, her petsonal charms
were deteriorated by a severe thumping on
the face. This done, Olhello-Tanee at
tempted to strangle her, and was in a fair
way to succeed, when her loving subjects j
came to her rescue. So heinous a crime
could not be overlooked, and Tanee was
I banished to his native island; but after s
| short time be declared his penitence, made
I amende honorable,and was restored to favor.
He does not very often venture to thwait
the Will of his royal wife, much less to
laise his hand against her sacred person,
but submits with exemplary patience to
her caprices and abuse, and even to the
manual admonitions she not unfiequently
bestows on him.

anc? of a French corvette, and by bribing
the king of the country with a musket and
ammunition, the fugitive* were captured.
But it was more than probable that they
and others would renew the attempt should
opportunity offer ; so there was no alterna
tive but to keep the sea, and hope for bet
ter days and for the convalescence of the
invalids. Two of these died. Neither Bible
nor prayer-book were on board the godless
craft, and like dogs, without form of Chris
tian burial, the dead were launched into
the deep. The situation of the survivors
inspired with considerable uneasiness the
few amongst them capable of reflection.
The captain was ignorant uf navigation; it
was the male who, from the commencement
of the voyage, had kept the ship's reckon
ing, and kept it all to himself. He had
only to get wa-.hed overboard in a gale, or
to u'alk over in a drunken fit, to leave his
shipmates in a fix of the moot unpleasant
description, ignorant of latitude, longitude,
and of everythingelse necessary to be known
to guide the vessel on her course. And as
lo the sperm whales, which Jermin had
promised them in such abundance that they
would only have to strike and take, not a
.single fin showed itself. At last the captain
was reported dying, and the mate took
counsel wiih Long-Ghost, Typee, and oth
ers of the crew, lie would gladly have
continued the cruise, but his wish was
overruled, and ihe whaler's stern was turn
ed towards the Society Islands.
The first glimpse of the peaks of Tahiti
was hailed with transport by the Julia's
weary mariners They had got a notion
that if the captain left the ship, their arti
cles were no longer binding, and they should
be free to follow his example And, at any
rate, ihe sickness on board and the shaky
condition of the barque, guaranteed them,
as they thought, long and blissful leisure
amongst the waving palm-groves and soft
*yed NVuhas of Polynesia. Their arrival
in sight ot Papeetee, the Tuhitian capital,
was welcomed by the boom ot cannon. The
frigate Reinn Blanche, at whnre fore flew
the flag of Admiral Du Petit Thouars, thus !
celebrated the compulsory treaty, concluded
that morning, by which the island was
ceded to the French.

Dr. Christie's Galvanic Rings and Mag
netic. Fluid.
'HIS remarkable invention, which bas received
the almost universal approbation of the medical
profession ol Great Britain, compri.es an entirely
now application of Galvanism, as a remedial agent
by means of which the ordinary Galvanic Batteries
Electric and Magnetic Machines, Sic. are entirely,
dispensed with, and the mysterious power of Outran
istn applied without sny of the objections which are
inseparable from the general mode now in use.
- The Galvanic Rings have been uesd with entire
success in all cases ?f rheumatism, acute or chronic,
applying to the bead, face, or limbe ; gout, tic-dolo
reux, toothache, bronchitis, vertigo, nervous or aick
headache, indigestion, paralysis, palsy, epilepsy, fits,
cramp, palpitation of the heart, apoplexy, stidrieis of
the joiuts, spinal complaints, lumbago, neuralgia,
nervous tremors, dincincss of the head, pains in the
chest and side, general debility, deficiency of ner
vous and physical energy, and all nervous disorders.
In caees of confirmed dyspepsia, which H simply a
nervous derangement of the digestive organs, tl.ey
have been been found eoually successful. Their ex
traordinary effects upon the system must be witnessed
to be be belived, and as a ceitaio preventive for the
preceding complaints tiiey are eijuS.'lj recommended.
The rings are of different prices, being made of all
sixes, and of various ornamental patterns, and can
be worn by the most delicate female without the
slightest inconvenience.' In fact, the senj&tion is ri
her agreeable than otherwise.
The Galvanic Belts, B*ackj,it8, B anuu,Gah
tkbs, Necklaces, <Stc. <fcc. These artistes are
adapted to the waist, arms, wrists, limbs, ankles, or
any part of the body with perfect convenience. The
Galvanic Necklaces are used with greater benefit in
cases of bronchitis or affections of the throat gener
ally ; also, in cases of ntrvous deafness; and with
almost uniform bucccss as a preventive for appoplexy,
opilcptic fits, and similar comphints.
Christie's Magnetic Fluid is Used in connexion
with the Galvanic Ringe, and 111 their awdifteations.
This composition has beeu pronounced by the
French Chemists to be one of the most extraordi.
nary discoveries of modern science. Full explana
tions and directions accompany it. The combined
inventions are in every way perfectly harmless ; they
are at prices within reach of all, and the discoverer
only requests a fair trial, as a test of their surprising
efficacy and permanent benefit.
Chhistik's Galvanic Sthe.vsthknin-o Pla?
tehs,?These articles form another valuable applica
tion of the mysterious influence of Galvanism. They
are an important adjunct to the genuine Galvanic
R ings and their loodifications, acting upon the same
principle, but having the advantage of Mnrs local im
plication- They are confidently recomended as a
valuable addition in the speedy r.uro of rheumatism,
acutc or chronic; in nil nervous complaints, and as a
positive remedy in cnscs of pain and weakness in the
chest or back, pain in the side, in asthmatic affection",
and in weaknoss or opprebsion of the pulmonary or
gans. In spinal complaints their effects are ol the
most decided character, and they have often been
used with complete success. They are also of the
greatest advantage in pains and weakness ef the
breast, and are highly recommended for many of'
those complaints to which female* are especially li
able. As an effectual means for strengthening the
system when ilebilituted with disease and other cau
ses, as a certain aid ill constitutional weakness, as
a preventive for colds, and in all allectiou* of the
chest generally, the Galvanic Strengthening Plas
ters will be found of great and permanent advan
tage.
(?j* CAUTION. The celebrity and success of
iheso articles have caused them to be counterfeited
by unprincipled person?. Dr. Christie cautions the
public against spurious imitations. He has but one
authorised agency in each city of the Union, where
ibw genuine articles can be procured. The only
?gents for Washington are?

The widespread fame of these splendid peri

praise. As literary organs, they stand far in ad

marked by a dignity, candor, ana forbearance, not
often found iu works of a party character.
They cmbrace the views of the three mat

" Blackwood" and the " London Quarterly" are
Tory, the "Edinburgh Review" Whig, and the
"Westminster," Radical. The "North British
Review" is of a more Religious east, and has for
its editors Sir David Brewster and Dr. Hanna, son
