Dr. F. R. Heath, in a paper on "Per- uvian Antiquities," describes a strange people living iu a town called Eten, in seven deg, south 'latitude, and about two miles from sea. They number about 4,000, and they speak, besides the Spanish, a language which some of the recently brought over Chinese la. borers understand, but there is no other similarity between the two peoples. They intermarry uncles and nieces, brothers and sisters,nephews and aunts, that is promiseuouiy, and with no ap- parent curse of consanguinity; but they will not I ormit an intermarriage into their number, or with the outsi le wor•1.1. They have laws, customs and drese of their ow11, and live by braiding hats and mats, and weaving cloths. They will give no account of the place whence they Dame, or of the time they settled at Eten.
