* 11 lr 1 1 Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce. ' i A NEW BREED OF MEN. In ft former letter, I mentioned to you ' that Col. Ducourct, who has ulrendy penetrated far into Africa, was about to set out on a new and extensive exploration of five years, under the special auspices of the French government, and at the charge of the treasury. The minister of public instruction asked of the Academy 1 of dciences some instructions for him. which were read at the sitting1 of the 20th 1 wef A ?Vi* enmn fimn tlu?. f7(llnnpl ad. ' dressed to the Academy a notice of the i ' race of the Qhilanes inhabiting the into- ! ' rior of Africa, and lenownrd among neigh ' boring tribes as caudulutcd or having 1 tails. The matter is ho curious that I j ] have caused to be translated for you ' what has been published about K bv one 1 of the scientific reporters. Lord Jlfonboddc will not have erred so much in his 1 primitive stock. ? 1 From the Scicntifie Report. There exists a race of men who, according to the report of certain travellers, are ' originally of the kingdom of Gondar, or of others, who nay they inhabit Soudan in the ?South, whoso zoological character i--tics are remarkable: Thev have a tail like appendage formed by the elongation ( of the vertebral column, nnd they are the last link in the humnn race, yhe slave merchants cannot disj os* of them without great difficulty; fo bad is their repu- j tation. The trmts which distingui -h j them are hideous ugliness of face and 1 j figuie, ungovernable tempers and stolid ! intellect. Some of thh race arc to 1 e found afoo, in the Philippine Islands, but , | they were, doubtless, cariied thither by ! > _1 1 TT i ' MIC MJOI; incivrimiuN nwwnci UH^ ukm I J be, v hen a Levantine is looking out for I slaves in theE'ist, he is always warned not to purchase one who has a tail; he is . told?"Of all slaves, this is the least p o- j ^ Stable." This race of men is very far j | behind that of which Founier di e: me 1. \ ^ and which was, some day, to become the ! . type of manly beauty, morally and phys- i ically. " | ( M. Ducouret, who was in Mecca in the 1 | year 1842, saw an individual of the species we have just mentioned, and belonging, he was told, to the breed of Ghihimes in the South. Though it be not the first time we have heard the race of men sooken of. who are furnished with tails, nevertheless (lie fact i* not sufficiently ' common to take away its interest.. We ? will, therefore, enter somewhat inio dotail upon this stranjye organic nmnifrsta- . tion. "I inhabited Mec;ca in 1842,":?nvs M. Ducouret. "and being of'r" ;?f tinhouse of nn Emir with whom 1 was intimate, I spoke to him of the Ohilane rncr, and told him how much the Eu'ope.tns doubted the existence of men with t>?ils, that h to sav. the vertebral column elon gated externally. In order to convince me of the reality of the specie*, the Emi ordered before me one of his slaves c: lied Belial who vns about tJ>Hv years old, ' who lmd a tail, and who belonged to rhi tribe. On surveying t! i? men I was 1 thoroughly convinced. He 8poke Arab- ' ic well, and appeared rather intelligent 1 Hr told me that in his conn' ry, far hevond he Sennar, which he had crossed, thev Bpoke a different language: thi-> for went of practice, he had entirely forgotten: that of his compatiiots, whom he estimated at 311 nr A(\ 000 enmo wni'dtiiinpil f1ir? sun the moon, or stars, o?l e-s, the se?-pent, and the soirees of an immense tit er, in which they immolated their xK'ims? (probably the month of the Nile) tint they nte with delight raw flesh, as Moody as possible, and that they loved human flesh above all things?that, after their battles with the neighl* oing tiil es, they slaughtered and devou-cd their p?i oners without distinction of age or sex, but that the women and childi en were preferable, their flesh being mo.c delicate. Thi Ghilance had become a devout Mns?ul man, nnd line! lived 15 years in the ITolv City. The fondness, the necessity, even for raw fiesh, (i' really was a want with him) did not fail to return upon him; and his master, therefore, hy a precaution, never faij'?d, when his fit was on him, to provide him with an enormous piece of raw mutton, which he consumed ravenously hefo-e every I ody. This de-re for raw flesh f howed i*- elf periodically: sometimes twi^e r week. Heinj? as' ed why he did not try to c.or:ect such a h^hit, he answe e'l frankly. *1 have often , Av'orenmA tl sir\nr>! *tr? T receivod from my father and mothe-.

Having asked . fim toallow me tosre h(r* linked, (or I 1 wished to sketch him) he reisted for a | long time, but finally yielded, on receiv- ? inflr the promise of an entirely new d. ess, , wfcch I' was to send him. llocamo pii- I j vately to my bouse, wheie ho took off the . scanty shirt of coarse blue linen which he I wore.
