Navt.—A shrewd
United Service Journal, says, " Thare ia no
doubt that we, (the English,) have three
powerful rivals in France, Russia, and the
United States; but of these three, the Americana are the moat important ones, on account
of their origin, their courage, and their even
greater activity and enterprise than our
own." The writer then proceeds to show
that our Navy, though numerically inferior
to that of France, and even to that ofRussia,
is intrinsically superior to either, and contains the germ of a great and powerful fleet.
We have the raw material, the workmen, and
a sufficient merchant navy to arm as men of
whenever called on to do so. Our Naa thing of life; it is procreative; that
c French and Russians resembles a
huge and costly machine, which once destroyed, is not easily replaced.—[Aav Paper.

Lahaina Chaplaincy.
Hilo, August 18, 1847.
Mr Dear Sis:—On this sheet I send you an abstract from my Journal of Rain at Hilo,
from August 1, 1846, to July 31, 1847. The amount ofrain for each day is recorded in inches
and thousandths of an inch. The total amount which fell during theyear, you will see to be
133and 7 thousandths cubic inches. Of this, 90,730 fell in the night. The greatest amount
which fell in a day, is 10,466inches. This was on the 21st ofMarch. The greatest quantity
which fell in any one month, was 38,156 inches. This was in March. Taking the year together, it has been the most rainy of any we hare experienced since our residence at the
Islands. Most truly yours.
TITUS COAN.
J. J. Jarves, Eso,., Editor of Polynesian.

cause both on the sea and the land, have

A VALITUDINARIAN'S VALEDICTORY.
To nit highly esteemed and dearly loved Christianfriendi
at the Islands.
It was the Golden Rule, I fear,
Uiirie;!iienusly reversing,
For me to bring among you here
An invalid for nursing;
But ye were all so very kind,
My modesty—dull Quaker—
I fear has slept! while I, resigned,
Had quite f vrgot to wake her!
And so, long days and nights have flown
In rapid alternation,
Till you miy think my visit grown
A downright vitilalimt
Proving in me, forsooih, the art
Of keeping conscience plastic;—

As 'twere, a heavy ocean,
And swells my bosom with a tide,
Of grateful, fond emotion.
Of all your nohle deeds and kind,
Not one unheeded paases;
For oft doth love, though reckoned blind,

A strangers heart to gladden,
May Heaven to your own lips present,
When aught your souls may sadden.
So take ye now my parting hand,
My parting love expressing,

God grant you every blessing;
And cmwn yoar toiling, with success,
Your pathway all made even,
And cheer you while you onward press,
To gain the goal of Heaven.

THE FRIEND.
HONOLULU, OCTOBER 21, 1847.
Arrivals Extraordinary.
For a long season our community ha*
been in doubt what vessels might be expected, or whether any had Bailed from the U.
States for this port. The Minstrel, Doane,
123 days, and Angola, Varnoy, 128 day*,
are unexpected, but welcome, visiters. Both
vessels arrived the same day, having made
remarkably quick passages. The Medora,
Shoot, is reported to have left Boston, May
19th, for this port direct, and has now been
out over 150 days, hence her arrival is hourly expected.
The following extract from a lettter of an
old resident at the Islands, but now living
near Boston, contains some items of public

150 1660 60 100 that under the most favorable points of view,
