lows. RNSPONHn OF ADMIRAL POBTBR.
Cent'onan of tho Maryland Assembly :' I take
gr at p caauio lu expressing my thinks, and ihat ot
tbo c tli cor ot t .e Aavul Ackiiorav, tor the honor
yon have conferred on us, and tor the kind greeting
you have yiven um to-day. I should consider mysolf
dehcieut in common ictolluenco it 1 could not find
lanenafe to express what is due D yoa on this occa
sion, i tiMt, tboufrh, that you will tike the wi I tor
the ocod, sndnot oxpoctme to express what I tool
In a very luut tny speech fspreeti-maiiint is not my
vocation, and 1 very ranch lorr that it 1 a'tampted
any extended remarks 1 should subjoot my Bull' to
tbe crltio Bra of the intelligent pent ernun who are
now listening to me who are accustomed daily to
hs'eu to moie oloquout orations.
We have oomo to live amonpst yon, and I trust
that our associations wnl be of the niost agreeable
Character. It it is decided to locato the JNaval Aca
demy permanently at this plr.ee. I am sure, from all
that 1 uave Been and board since I have been here,
and since the Legislature hai been in sc3e!on,that you
will do all in yonr power to ufl jrd us the advantages
we so much require to oiaii this institution what it
should be an honor to the country.
1 hope veu will pas laws to protect the young
midshipmen fiom the temotatlons that bo Jot tuom on
every side. l'her tutnro success in life may d pond
in a ereat me ure on ' ho action ot this Legislature
and the laws it may enact lor their benefit. J he
discipline of tho Maval Academy will provide for
their weliare irslde ot the wain, but th re are cer
tain allnremonti on the outride over whica we have
no control, wbich are beneficial neither to mmhood
nor youth, and tliece can only bo controlled by the
Leg slature.
1 can only say- In conclusion, for myself and in
b'halt of all the oWcera in the Acadomv. that we
shall take great pleasure in receiving the rntimuoi-j
of the Legislature and the otlicerj attached thereto,
at our houses, wheix the latch-string will alvvaa oe
lonnd hanving on the outside, where one and all
wid receive that welcome due to tbe repreientatives
ol this time-honored hlato. a Mat a wiiicii has shown
such a noble example during the licbeuio", and
sow shines lortu as the biigbiest star of the Union.

M. Du Chaillu publishes the following inte-
rtsting letter in the London Times:
To the Editor ot the Timet. sir: as i nna
that tho report of what Mr. J. Crswfurd said in
reference to the small and peculiar tribe of
natives which I met with in the mountains of
Western Eauatoiial Africa, between one deeree
and two degrees south latitude, and about twelve
decrees eaet loncttuae, nus occasioned scepti
cism, 1 now copy from my original note-uooK,
which I have shown to Htr Kodtrick Murchison,
the following details. I further understand from
him that Mr. Craw turd had no intention of dis
paraging the accuracy of my description, but
simply wished to have such an explanation as l
now oiler :
"These little people, termed 'Obonogo,' may
be considered the rtpsies oi ine region, ruey
are of migratory nauits, and ciianse tneir tern-
noraiv shelter tinder trees from one olace to
another. I'hey gain their livelihood by trapping
same, which thev exchange witn tne settled vil
lagers for lood, and, like fcome European gipsies,
if this method fails, they steal and decamp.
While the inhabitant of this mountain region
are lighter in color than those of the sea shore.
these Obonogo are still less dark. They have
only short tuits ot hair upon their heads, and
ere thus strikluglv distinguished lrom the set
tled inhabitants, who wear large turrets oi hair
upon inelr beads, xney nave a wna, anxious.
and timorous expression in their eyes, and
althonch I gave many beads to entice some ot
them to remain, aud was brought to them
stealthily by the natives, all the men, except a
voune adult, disappeared, leaving a lew women
behind. It would appear that my visit alarmed
tbem. lor. althouen l staved a weeit in tne ad-
lacent village, the Obonogo were no more to bs
lieara oi.
"The following aie the measurements I was
enaUed to make:
'The only adult male measured four feet six
inches: but us one of the women reached five
leet one-quarter inch (she being considered ex
traordinaiily tall), I have co doubt that some of
the men are equally tall, and some perhaps
taller. The other women I measured had the
lollowinsr heiybts: Four feet eight inches, four
feet seven and one charter inches, four teet live
leches, and the smallest four tout four and one-
quarter inches. I thought, after looking at the
whole gioup of tho adult women, that their
averese height was troni tour leet Ave inches to
tour leet six inchc. . The smallest woman bad
the largest lieud, viz , one foot ten and one-filth
inches in cireumimcnce, the smallest was one
toot nine iucbes round.
"In the Volume which I propose to -publish
more details repec'tri these little people, with
a short vocabulary of their language, will be
given. I am, sir, vour obedient servant.
"P. B. Du Chaillp.
