unite those advantages as an elegant sterlin-
tatory, which Tobacco, combined with other in-
gredients, is capable of producing. The common
Scotch snuff is not only destitute of fine flavor
but is universally allowed to be injurious to the
head and stomach, and sooner or later affects the
transparency and color of the skin. The coarse
black snufi's, instead of clearing and stimulating
the olfactory nerves, serve hot to obstruct and
deaden them : and in process of titne, by stop-
ping the passages, has an evident effect upon the
speech. The Vo./atz‘1'c /lromatic Snzzfl will, by ex-
perience, be found not liable to these objections-—-
its flavor is fragrant and delightful-—the effect
pleasing and salutary---it opens and purges the
head——sensibly stimulates the spirits, and re-
moves that drowsiness which on some occasions
will prevail in spite of our utmost efforts to baffle
ll.
essential service to those who are troubled with
long,dull_, nervous head-aches, and will be found
far superior for this purpose to the- Cephalic snuff.
In cases of catarth or what is commonly called a
cold in the head, a pinch or two taken at night
on going to bed will, by moistening the mucus,
effectually remove all obstructions before morn-
ing. All those troubled with the hypochondria
or vapors, will find in this chemical preparation a
complete antidote. All sedentary and studious
persons (:1 either sex will find by its occasional
use, a cheap and cheering relief from that lassi-
tude which invariably accompanies a long sitting
or much reading. This snuff is well stopt in a
handsome square bottle made expressly for the
purpose, and which will be found to unite all the
advantages of a snuff Box.

V ., SOUTI-I SEA ISLANDS.
_Cln looking over our files of the London Ob-
se-rjver, our attention was drawn to a statement of
some interesting particulars, respecting an Euro-
pean of the name of I/Vilsan, who now acts as an
independent sovereign in one of these Islands.-—
It appears that an English vessel, named the Con-
cord, which had been fitted out by a mercantile
house in London, for a voyage of three years, to '
the South Seas, after having touched at Valpara-
iso in l8l8, made sail for New Zealand.
Nat. Advocate.
‘ Approacliinga small cluster of Islands which
had-not been discovered by former navigators.
they observed several. large canoes coming off
with the symbols of peace. The chief being ad-
milled upon deck, presented to the captain a piece
of paper which be regarded Willi enthusiasm.—
The curiosity of the captain and crew were much
excited by the appearance of European writing
paper, delivered by ‘one ofthe natives of an island
which they supposed no civilized persons had be-
fore visited. He opened it, and read the following
words written in English :--
‘ Let the navigator who reads this, on no ac-
r:uI.int._dt‘0p anchor near the two islands, west of
the island with the bay. Steer for the East point
ofthe small island, with a low beach, stand for the
bay, and you will meet a pilot. I will come off
and conduct you safe in. AN ENGL1sHMAN.’
The courses and soundings to the harbor were
-laid down {ind other information necessary to nav-
igate the ship to the island recommended. It al-
so directed the captain to fire a gun when he wish-
ed to get rid ofthe natives. The chief would not
consent to quit this precious scrap of paper, which
he considered some attribute of rliviuity. The
captain, therefore, with due sole-mnity, returned
it to his hands having first made the clerk of the
ship taken copy. This unexpected communica-
tion intluccd the Concortl’s officers to run for the
island. They first fired a gun over the heads of
the natives and in a few seconds the chiefand his
followers were overboard, swimming for their
canoes, in which they paddled off.
The ship running upon the course directed,
soon discovered a man in a canoe, endeavor-ing to
weather the point of the small island, but again
lost sight of him. They did not find the pilot
mentioned in the letter, and consequently did not
attcm pt to c§[)ll)l‘6 the entrance to the bay or bar-
bor that night. '1 be next morning at day break,
the watch were surprised by hearing at man along
issuing this, the second and last Class, together
with the laudable purpose for which the grant
was made, they confidently hope uill induce the
public to patronize this.
All Prizes subject to the usual deduction of

% a rope overboard, anti pick me u', .’ The chief
§ mate supposed one of the crew was ox-e'rboard,
I and instantly called the captain, but before any
. orders could be given, :1 strange white man, wear-
ing the dress ofthe natives, was upon deck; at
the same moment he darted upon the captain,
threw his arms around him and exclaimed, ‘ thank
God, l have at ‘last seen a countryman.’ The
first transport of théztman having subsided, be de-
clared himsclfthe writer of the letter sent out by
the Cliicf. He added, ‘I came out to pilot you ;
my canoe was swampt, and I was obliged to swim
‘to the rocks five miles to the windward ofthe
point. I remained there until the tvr-.'.ttlicl' grew
tnotlerate, and three hours since I swam for the
ship.’ This er-nraortlinary person \\"c‘.5 soon rc-
lresltt.-,l with grog, and having again (:Xpt‘tr'$‘5Ctl
his gralittnle to heaven for once more bringiitg
him to cun'.'r:rse with linglislimcii, entered upon
' a statcnient of the retnarkable circumstanrcs
which had brought him to the situation in which
he was now plttCt'(l. He said that his name was
‘Wilson, anti that having with four others, ran a-
way with the boat of the Olive Branch, aship of
490 tons, at ()tabt.-ite, where they had touched for
pr0't'isi0l‘:'.~;, they were driven by the current to the
casttvartl. After being five (lays at sea, they
landed upon the Island which they had warned
the Concord not to approach. They had no soon-
cr set foot on shore than the natives rushed upon
lllclil and killed his companions. 'While they de-
fended themselves he ran along the shore, and
getting into a canoe, pushed off to sea. It was
night, and the next morning he found the canoe
on the shore of another island to the easttvard.'--
He at first saw no savages, and flattered himself
that it was uninhabited. He laid down to rest,
and about an lmui-iaftcir he awoke and found him-
self surrounded by savages, several of \v hom look-
ed upon him with terror and astonishment. The
chief, after making strange gestures, gate a sig-
nal, and they all fell down to worship. Tliey
considered him, as he afterwards understood, a su-
pernatural being that had come from the skies.——-
They supplied his wants, made him their chief,
and gave him a wife, by whom he had three chil-
dren. lle a«:quircr.l a knowledge of their lan-
guage, civilized them, and instructed them in the
history of l:‘.uropc-ans, their manners and customs.
He was acknowledged Jiiiig of the island, and as-
sumed among his subjects the solo rule. lie
gave. the chief the letter, which was presented to
the captain of the Concord, telling him it would
bring every big canoe with Europeans to the Isl-
and. The chief on that account honored it as a
charm or talisman. VVilsoll pretended that he
had no desire to leave the Island, and told the cap-
tain of-the Concord that he need not fear losing
his men, as he would order every man to be put
to death who might run away and seek refuge a-
mong the natives. The Concord was taken into
a line bay, where the crew met with kind treat-
ment from the llLlilVt,iS, who supplied them with
hogs, water, and bread fruit in abundance. Not-
withstanding the promise of V‘/ilson, not to stiffer
:bc men to desert from the ship, four men ran a.
way and could not be found. It was thought that
the real object of this petty sovereign was to en-
tice all the men he could to remain on the island,
and the Concord, to save the rest of her crew
made a hasty departure.’
The above narrative was made by one ofthe
mates of the ship, who arrived in England a few
months since. This account, if true, is an in-
stance of savage cruelty ; but the manners of the
natives of the Friendly islands, and the general
conduct of the South Sea Islanders, is mild and
. amiable, compared with the violence and barbar-
ities committed by what are termed enlightened
Europeans, carrying on war and conitnerce in thfi
same part of the world.

[The following interesting account of two Chiefs,
natives ofthe Sandwich Islands, who were sto-
len from their country and their i-'.indrc(l by the
crew of an American ship, and al'Lerwa,rtls car-
ried to Enghtnd and cast upon the clia'rities_ol'
the benevolent for tnair.tenanc-:, is furnish_e.d to
the public by the Lord Mayor of London, .-who
received it from their own months. The cir-
cumstances of their case, and the simple narra-
tive of their sufferings, have excited much feel-
ing among all who have become acquainted
with their history ; one gentleman gave 20!.
to be expended for the relief of tllcll‘ necessi-
ties. The earnest desire manifested by, them
to become acquainted with the arts and man-
ners of civilized life give to the christian phi-
lanthropist great hopes that. in time, they will
become essential instruments in aiding the
cause of christianity and civilization, which
has already begun to diffuse its principles in
some ofthelslands of the Pacif1c._l
‘ The American vessel by which they had been
taken while on their fishing excursion had lost
several men, and took possession ofthc ln'diar.s
with a view of supplying the deficiency. Vilhen
first the natives saw the vessel approach, they
pulled towards shore, but the crew fired upon
them, and soon compelled them to stop tbeit
course. Upon being dragged on boarll. the cap-
tain, who had thus taken prisoners five individu-
als, of whom four were chiefs. seemed i.1lTL;ClCd at
their sorrow, which they vented in bowling and
floods of tears, prorrzised them ten dollars a moon
during the time they remained with him, and as-
sured them he would land them at Valparaiso,
from whence they might return in a b'outh-Sea-
man. This captain made some atonement for
the violence with which he had at first treated
them in firing upon them, and though he sent
them aloft with the crew, they were not worked
beyond their wish. Boose-oh-H00 soon I. rned
to steer, and Tuana did duty before the mast.-—
They can both climb aloft with extraordinary a-
gility, and as soon as they became reconciled to
what they supposed would be but temporary ab-
sence from their mothers, they exhibited proofs
of talent and industry,- which surprised those with
whom they began to be familiar. They had not
been many moons at sea when the ship was taken
by a Spanish privateer in the Gulph of California,
and carried into San Josef, on landing at which
place they were treated with the greatest severi-
ty. VVith eyes full of tears, the two unfortunate
natives of Owyhcc speak ofthe murder oftheir
brothers by the Spaniards,who, without the slight-
est provocation,butchered'lhem uith their knives.
'.l'wo of the Americans were despatched in the
same manner. The prisoners were most of them
sent to work in the mines, but the three natives
who remained after the slaughter, hid tnemsc.lvt:s
among the bushes, in the way to the place of pun-
ishment,and many days suhsisted upon fish which
they caught in the lakes. One of them at last
found a canoe, and the warriors say he /zaddled
/zomc to O‘ZU_l//11.6’, avoyagc of several months. The
warriors were ul'u:rv.'ards overtal~:en by a band of
the Spaniards, and conveyed to at silver mine,
where they were compelled to dig for ore night
and day, with others who had been so dreadfully
unfortunate as to fall into the hands of an enemy
familiar with scenes of blood, and in the habit of
rnaking the existence of their captives a curse.
The governor ofthe mine, after some experiment
of their abilities, thought he could make their ser-
vices more valuable in the depths of the water
than in those of the earth, and sent them to the
town for the purpose of having them tried at pearl
diving, an employment at which the natives of
the Sandwich Isles are expert beyond European
conception. In speaking of the conduct of the
Spaniards towards them, they raise their hands
and eyes, and repeat a few sounds several times,
the translation of which is ‘ plenty ofwork, plen-
ty of work, plenty of work I and flog, flog, flog E’
‘tVhcn they were in the town, one of our South-
Sea Whalers touched at St. Josef, and applied for
hands. The crew of the ship hearing that some
Indians were there, and that they were treated
with great severity, requested that the captain
would demand them of the governor. Wlwa being
in no condition to refuse, reluctantly complied.-—
The captain promised to land them at Valparaiso,
but he died upon reaching the Gulf of California,
and the mate took the command. Wlien the ves-
sel lay some leagues oh” Valparaiso, the crew were
impatient to get home to Eng-lantl; and it was
decided by a majority of votes, that they should
proceed hoineward without delay, as they calcu-
lated upon the probability that the lndians could,
in this country, obtain the means of returning to
Owyhee. The owners of the vessel, in London,
upon hearing the case of the poor strangers, were
of opinion, that they had no claim, and according-
ly they were thrown upon the town ; but by the
favor of I’rovidence, they fell within the observ-
ation of two benevolent individuals whose names
we have recorded. Both of tilt: Indians are ex-
tremely inquisitive, and have expressed an anx-
ious (lcsire to learn to read and write’ our lan-
guage. One of these offered a young gentleman,
who was writing in the Justice-room, his two sis-
ters as wives, if he would only teach himto write,
and accompany him to Owyhet: for the purpose
ofteaching all his countrymen the same accom-
pllshment. Pigs. and Sl'it':c'{), and oxen, he said,

that the natives never devour human flesh, ex-
cept when agitated by a vindictive spirit, which
that sort of food is, they say, calculated to allay.
