as Catholic Missions converted many : but these, like the Ceylonese. in accepting chris-

g tianit , have never altogether csst ofi‘ the slit

use of idolatry. To this day, the gods of Iontelttma have their followers amuog oven the mass-going Indians--just as in Spain itself. for many a long year, more than one noble who knelt at the " adorable sea-ifics” was Jew in blood or Mshometae by dcent.

Amid much recounted of the Aatecf that is to- mantic and equivocal. we may gather a few lead- ing facts which will hardly bear disputing. A- mong others it would seem that there is some- where located a tribe of this sinular people, living in isolation, admitting no stranger among

' , an never marrying out of particular families. no consequence of this latter custom is a degeneracy of race ; and one fashion adopted In carts" arked cases of degeneracy is that, when individuals are of unusually minute stature, the are received into the family of gods, and are In subjects of worship.

Such is said to have been the condition of the two Astcc Lili utions now exhibited at the Hanover-square coma. Their ages may be‘ the boy's thirteen, the girl’s ten- They weigh about two and twenty pounds, are really Liliputiaiis, have heads not larger than that of an infant a day or two old, with large, brilliant, and restless eyem. Their s_rrnsare rather beyond the usual length. and thctrlegs are somewhat ricketty," caused by the pttsittotninto which they had been earl y put—— thst of Mexican idols, seated on the calves of tlsetrown legs-4 position into which they natu- rally fall when seated by themselves on the ground. They have superb black curling hair, and are copper~coIored.—'l‘lie have no speech c the’ own, but they repeat words readily though im feetly.

he most striking trait connected with them is the total disregard which each has for the other.-There is something painful in.it. They notice every individual in the room, play with all camera, and are delighted if visitors will draw figures for them, or lend them a pencil that they may attempt the feat themselves. But all inter- course of one withlthe other seems to be non-exis- tent: they neither look at, smile at, or make signs between themselves. Each asses the other as if

y were mutually invisible; and yet, without much trouble, we induced little "Batti” to kiss “ Maximo,” who received the salute iinpassively. aetf nothing more than the wind was kissing his cheek, and be glided on his way unconscious or careless of the nymph who sooth to say, seemed as little conscious as himself.

These singular creatures are exciting immense sttsntion—sn attention which will be increased ten-fold when the impatient philosophers and the wealthy admirers of phenomena have sstiated their curiosity at five shillings or half a crown each, and the price of admission is reduced to the. c suflicient shilling. Then the " owners" of Aatec Lilliputisns will probably reap as rich a harvest as did the irer of our an- cient friend " General Tom Thumb.

HASZARD’8 GAZETTE Wednesday, August 24, 1853.

The Editor of the Royal Gazette says " our ntteution hits been directed to the second para- graph of u. communication, headed On dits Ex- traordinary," which appears in the last. issue of the Royal Gazette; " and we regret to find that an attempt has been made to implicate the Government in its publication."

We were itmon those who directed the st- bciition of the pubic to this shameless attempt to injure the charscter of is worthy man, whose only fsult in the eyes of Mr. Whelsn and his particular associates is, that he is an indefpen-

ent clliocr, fearless in the dieclinrge 0 his duty. Now we positively deny that any nttempt whntever has been made “ to implicate the Go- vernment." 'l‘he sole person implicated is the

.ueen’s Printer, but we most certainly think

that the Government willbe implicated if it 9°“

suffore its servant, the mechanic in its cmplo , to attack the character of men hi ofiice, o a much suplerior do and of reel responsibility. In the ot er co ouies with the introduction of Responsible Government, the Government Ga- zette has been reduced and most propcrl , to be the medium of communicating ursly ru- ment informat.ion—publicstion of the Acts of Assembly and such advertisements us must by law be t. icre inserted. Wh is it not so here? The Government, it seems ave nothing to do with what is inserted in the Royal Gazette, but what is stated to be so by express authority! This is precisely the thing we complain of. The Government ought to haven control over it. It is the pepcr of the Government, or r-other of the public, for it pays for it,nnd pretty roundly too, as appears by the public acuunts. And here is the misfortune we labour undcr, of hav- ing it servant whose duties are altogether me- clisnical, sittiii as one of our masters, and making that which should be the organ of pub- lic information, it vehicle for rivate slander and abuse of every body that one not exactly coincide in opinion with Mr. George (‘olea whose mintott we do not hesitate to say.
