NEW YEAR—1857. to my post, " Fixedmove ou." meanwhile the rolling years Years begin and end ; volume after volume of The Friend is commenced and closed. Ere we seem to be aware of it, a New Year calls upon us to say a few words to our readers, on ship and. shore. Most cordially we wish you a Happy New Year. We now enter upon editorial labors connected with the XlVth volume of The Friend. Perhaps some of our readers may be ready to ask, "Do you still intend advocating the same old-fashioned doctrine of total abstinence ?" We reply, most unquestionably this is our intention, for " honesty is the best policy," and we are most honestly of opinion, that the use of intoxicating liquors is most injurious to the bodies, minds and souls of our fellow-men. Every year's observation strengthens our conviction of the truth of this position. Advancing years may have somewhat cooled the ardor of youth and contact with the world tempered and softened the positive tone which might once have characterized the statement of our views. We see, however, no reason for retiring one iota from the position which we started with many years ago. The only safe principle is " touch not, taste not, handle not." Life seems to us too valuable to be thrown away. As in former years, our aim will be to furnish our readers with useful and entertaining reading, upon a variety of subjects, especially those relating to the welfare and improvement of seamen. It affords us encouragement when we can see one or more of them acting up to their high responsibilities, as KOlo »mts, M. 14. JANUARY 1, 1857. amount of good reading matter; for this purpose we labor to sustain the Home and the Bothel. Judicious efforts are not in vain. For many years and ages have seamen been treated as no class of men ought to be treated. They are suspicious of those who would do them good, and confiding to those who would do them evil. A revolution is not to be brought about in a day, year or generation; but it must and will be eventually accomplished. We are hopeful upon this subject. The abundance of the sea shall yet be converted unto God. So far as our narrow limits will allow, it will still be our aim, from month to month, to keep our readers informed upon the passing .events at home and abroad. We shall try to advocate truth, oppose error, and endeavor to convince our readers that Godliness, with contentment, is great gain. As ever, then, we remain, readers and patrons, your humble servant. ful and joyous. The person must have been a cynic and misanthrope not to have allowed his soul to indulge that morning in grateful expressions of thanksgiving and praise. The services on the occasion referred to, were opened by the Seaman's Chaplain; next followed the sermon, by the Ry. Mr. Turner; and the services were closed by the Rev. Mr. Strong. The sermon of Mr. Turner was an exceedingly appropriate and well-written discourse. The text was taken from the first Epistle of John, 4 16—"God is love." Alter speaking of the principle of genuine love, as an elevated and dignified affection—the sum total of all pure religion, the speaker proceeded to show how God had manifested His love towards the Universe. First, it was seen in our creation; secondly, in our preservation ; thirdly, in the redemption of the treatment of world by Jesus Christ. the subject afforded an excellent opportunity to refer to topics, themes and subjects, naturally associated with Christmas and Thanks- : giving. In other respects we believe the day passed off in a manner not unbecoming the occasion. A Wife's Hint.—“My wife wrote me,” says an officer of a ship, "to be sure and send her The Friend."

She hears, at length, that her son had safely weathered tin' stormy Cape had been delivered from many a tiniiand had entered the calm waters of the Pacific.

Enough to meet this has been received from the children and youth; and the excess, and what is yet on the way to the treasury from the different pajrts of our great country, will be reserved for future repairs, and for the cost of insuring the vessel. The property is held by the Board. It, falls in, however, with the plan of operations in the North Pacific, to place the vessel under the gaum] direction arid control of the Hawaiian Missionary Society, composed mainly of those ministers and laymen residing at the Islands, who once composed the Sandwich Islands Mission. To the disposal of that Society will be committed, also, the funds which the Board, and the Bible and Trait Societies of this country, shall devote to the support and culture of the gospel institutions at those islands;. and it will have, moreover, the entire care of furnishing the native Hawaiian laborers in the Micronesia mission, and of providing for their support. Indeed, since a primary reason for commencing the Micronesia mission was to provide a healthful reactionary influence for the Hawaiian churches, so that they may tl*e sooner reach the point of self-support, it will be the earnest endeavor of the Prudential Committee to make the greatest possible use of all the facilities for prosecuting the missionary work in the Pacific, which the community now forming at the Sandwich Islands can afford. : jy We are happy to learn that several hundred shares (at l-'J cents each) have been taken among foreign children in Honolulu, in the Morning Star.

The following paragraphs are copied from a new book lately published in Philadelphia, and entitled lift in India. This is a book full of graphic, and kfc-likc sketches of scenes, manners and customs &3 they appear in Madras and the vicinity ; but it is not to the book itself thnt we would now call the reader's attention. The first fifty pages of the book relate to the voyage of a merchant-ship from Boston to Madras, having on board n company of American missionaries. This voyage, so far as we gather, was made about the year 1850. As most of our readers arc familiar with sea>diFe, we shall merely copy such extracts as relate to a most happy change which took place in the life and conduct of the shipmaster, whose namo we are unable to learn, while the name of his ship is alike withheld from the reader's knowledge : was so violent, that it was'as much as we could do to hold on to the rail and watch the waves; but in ordinary weather we found a variety of occupations with which pleasantly and profitably to fill up our time. After our morning devotions and breakfast, we turned to our grammers to make a beginning in the languages in which we were to t ach the Hindus. The afternoons were spent in reading, writing, singingand walking; then came ten, evening prayers in our cabin, and a closing walk on deck. " Vet we had one great trial: our voyage went on; days not bo to be recalled were passing; we fell that we were fellow-trav< Hers to eternity with all on board but we wt re permitted to do nothing for the teamen. On Sunday morning one-half of their number— that is, the watch off duty—had the privilege dawned, and with it brighter " But day The wind had abated, and the at i, scenes, ; ofattending worship with us in our cabin, ii they chose to do so. Jjut we were forbidden to invite them to come, or to speak to them at any time, whether the) wt re on duty or oil'duty. Not were we permitted to have services on dock, as h customary in such voyages. Permission for only one of our number to organize a Bible class for them waa refused by the captain, on the ground that it would produce insubordination. ••As we had every reason to belii i ■ that, from'the captain to the cook, not one of the ship's crew feared God, we could not but grieve that the door was thus shut against us.

The hay is about i 800 fathoms broad and 1300 fathoms in length. kcalakeakua. was long celebrated as the residence of the early kings of Hawaii. It was in iis neighborhood also that there existed the famous city of refuge, which afforded an inviolable lanctuary t.. the guilty fugitive who was so favored as to gain its precincts. To it the man-slayer who had broken a tabu, tho thief, and even the murderer, Bed from his incensed pursuers and was secure. Its gates were always open to admit tlte refugee. The celebrity which this port acquired by the visit and murder of Oast Cook, and its being laid down accurately on the early charts, caused it to he visited tnorebj warships and whalemen than the other ports of the group. The village is located on the son-shoreand coin;.rises perhaps a hundred houses. In tlie (arming districts, two to four miles from the village .piite a large number of foreigners reside, some engaged in raising coffee. A number of .young orange groves are under cultivation, which promise in a few years to yield large crops. The best anchorage for ships visiting the bay, is on the north side under a bluff between six and seven hundred feet high, one-third of a mile from the sand bench on the east side, and one-quarter of a mile from the bluff en the north side of thebay. The water is from sixteen to twenty fathoms deep. A ship can lie (hen at all times in peiffeul safety troa wind or see. The north-west part of tlie bay is about forty fathoms deep. Outside of this tlie water is shoaler, being twenty-two fathoms,leaving a basin within whioh fifty or sixty ships can be aooommodatsd here at onetime. M..-t of the ships that visit here, com.' after December and during tlie spring. ('apt. ('inning's has a tank for watering ships that will hold sixteen hundred barrels. The followiiu: articles can he obtained at this port: wood, sweet ixitabies, pumpkins,squashes, melons, cabbages, oranges, from September to February, beef, best quality, mutton, goats, turkeys and fowls, as well as pigs in any quantity ; also, coffee, best quality, besides many kinds of fruits, such as bananas, guavas, papains, cocoanuts, &C. From eighteen to twenty ships usually touch here in the course of a year. The weather is generally good, there arc usually not more than s'u or eight days out of the year that can bo called bad. This port is considered by masters of ships as one of the best places to do work in in the Hawaiian Islands, excepting only Honolulu. BnH Wm * ' ' — ' After a residence there of eleven years ("apt. ('inn- beginning ofthe preaent century, was 955,000, ing's states that he has seen ships lying here during ami in 1861, 2,.'}()5J,000, having increased 17 the worst of weather, bat never saw one in any pel cent, in the proceeding ten years. It is danger. Irish potatoes can be raised within two Stated that then are more Smiths, Joneses, miles ofthebay ofthe finest quality, but no one pays any attention to their culture. For sailing directions, i! the vessel cannot get in at once to the anchorage, keep directly off the bay and close in, snv two Of three miles from the shore. Often times, north of the hay, there Will be a current setting north, and south of the l.ay, s current setting south, so by keeping directly off the bay both currents will be avoided. There is a regular land and Ma breeze, the latter OOUimencing about B A. M., mid lasting until sundown ; the land breeze commences about 8 o'clock I*. 11., and lasts until S o'clock A. M. It Is strongest about day-light, giving ships a ohanos t. get under way after day-light and get a good oiling Before tlie wind changes. Masters "ho wish to anchor their vessels ill tlie bay should keep within three or four miles of the shore, where they will have the strength of tlie land breeze and gel the sea breeze much earlier than it' farther oil. It' ten or twelve miles off shore,they will n..t get the sea breeze until 12 or 1 o'clock, while all the forenoon a line breeze blows near the shore. The sea l.iv.'/o is the strongest about :i I'. M. It usually prevails from about ,\. \\\, but is sometimes West and even S. IV. We usually have about two konae during the winter. The wind never blows with any strength in the bay. In the country they last from twelve to fifteen hours, and do much less damage than mi most other porta of the Islands. A pilot goes off to ships if a signal is made for one, otherwise not. KAWAUIAF, (Pronounced generally Tow-a-high ,) is I small village on the buy of the same name on the western share of Hawaii, with scarcely an object to attract a resident. Excepting a few cocoanut trees which line the water's edge, there is hardly any foliage to be seen in the village or on the hills back of it. It derives its iui|w>rtancc from being the port of the rich and extensive grexing ii|.lands of Waimea —one of tlie finest agricultural districtsi of the islands, which has not yet developed its full resources. Just back of tlie town there exist the ruins of one of those largo heiau's or idol temples. It is the most perfect one now existing on the islands. It was this temple which the young Kaiuehameha 11. on the death of his father, went up to consecrate, accompanied by his priests ; and it was here, in the midst of his revelry that he brought the tabu system to an end. Kawaihae is situated on.the north-east side of (he bay in N. lat 20° 04', and W. long. 156° b'Z. The Browns, Robinsons, and Thompsons in London, than any Other City, exeopting Paris and the Chinese cities, has inhabitants; that there are more servants in London than residents in Vienna; that the shoemakers, publicans. ami dealers in meat and vegetable in London, are more than the population of Berlin, and that marly as many as the of city New there are more last-makers in London than Frankfort has citizens, and more clerks than Boston has inhabitants. An Example.—A member of one of the lirst and wealthiest families in Buenos Ayres, having challenged another man to fight a duel, has been sentenced to three years banishment from the province for the crime, anfi will then only lie allowed to return upon giving bonds of $100,000 not to renew the challenge. HOW A GREAT Man WAS MADE.-he father of John Adams was a wqaahy cobbler, who designed to bring up his sorrTo the same trade, but on setting him to cut the "uppers" for some shoes, John copied the patterns faithfully, embellishing every "upper" with the three-cornered hole by which thepatterns had been hung on the nail. "I saw," said his father, "that 1 couldn't make a shoemaker of him. so I put him to learning V An interesting Relic.—A convex glass has been discovered at Pompeii, supposed to be a magnifying lens, from which it is ii red that the ancients, contrary to the prevailing belief, were aware of this power. It ia difficult to conceive how, without the aid of such lenses, they could have worked the fane gems which the unassisted human eye is unable to read. �14 THE FRIEND. FEBRIARY, ls.it. .

The "Old Bethel" made "New." CONTENTS Far March 31, 18ST. ---------- ------------------------------------- -------- THE HONOLULU, MARCH 31, 1857. LIFE ON KAUAI. Having spent a few days in riding and rambling on the Island of Kauai, there are two or three features in the state of things there which w.e deem not unworthy of notice. The first and most prominent feature, is this, that on Kauai, the people work. This is true of both foreigners and natives. Having visited, in former years, every part of the Sandwich Islands, we feel prepared to speak with confidence upon this subject, that no where have we witnessed such a proportion of the inhabitants actively engaged in manual labors as we have seen upon this island. We landed at Nawiliwili, and saw busy life upon the Lihue Plantation. The plow and hoe were moving with the dawn of the morning. At Koloa, we witnessed the ingathering of the cane crop. On the latter plantation can be mustered one hundred yoke of oxen. The proprietors of the Koloa Plantation not only rely upon the plow to prepare the soil, but they have literally plunged into a swamp or marsh of a thousand acres, and there have undertaken a system of drainage and cultivation, which coald never have been made successful without an immense amount of real, hard work with the hands. No animal can cross the marsh, but man can ! We saw a heavy crop of cane being taken from a portion of this marsh, a temporary railroad being laid down, (between the stacks of cane) and extending one-fourth of a mile towards the center of the marsh. Subsequently to watch the long train of " four-ox" carts, heavily loaded with cane and trudging ofT to the mill, was a most animating sight. At Hanalei. the people work, and work . hands. We visited also Mr. Mcßride and Mr. Charman's dairy establishment. We took a peep too at the butchering establishment of Mr. Allen, where beef, hides, and tallow were in course of preparation for the market. We rode over fields where Grubens and Archer tried tobacco, but now are raising Indian corn. Wherever we went we saw more of work, industry and thrift than we have witnessed elsewhere. In the vicinity of Koloa the natives are busy cultivating sweet potatoes. They are extensively employed on all the plantations which we have referred to, as coolie labor appears to be a failure. One enterprise on the island is specially worthy of notice. We refer to the effort of introducing a stream of water from the mountains to flow over the Lihue plantation. A trench ten miles long (about two-and-ahalffeet wide, and the same deep) has been dug. It has been an immense work; and whether it answers the purpose or not, it shows what labor will accomplish. This summer will test the experiment, and most confidently we hope the enterprise may succeed. Having written so much about the working habits of the Kauaians, no space remains to refer to their schools, their churches, their " literary club," or their generous hospitality. We hope that the good people on that island may not infer that we did not appreciate their kindness and hospitality because we merely pass it over with this passing allusion. While superintending some repairs upon the Bethel, in the early part of February-, we were suddenly compelled to leave for a neighbouring island on account of ill-health. On our return with health re-established, it was with no ordinary feelings of gratitude that we found our congregation worshipping in a buildingre-moddled, and very much improved. The ladies and children came to our aid, rendering most timely assistance. We would main this opportunity to acknowledge the presentation, by the ladies, of a communion table, chairs, sofa and carpet for the pulpit, and a curtain from the children of the Sabbath School. These expressions of kindly sympathy and generous feeling rendered, while we were absent, are doubly prized. C7* The following is a statement of the expenses attending the repairs and alterations of the Bethel : ------------------- Feb. 7—To paid Mr. Vincent's bill for lumber and labor $375 00 •• 10—To paid Mr. Thomas' bill for mason 46 00 work •• 18—To paid Mr. Oilliland's bill for 18160 paints and labor 17 60 •« ]8—To paid for repairing Scraphino 62 80 18—Ito-corcring cushions, &o., &c, '28 26 Sundry expenses ------- " |M9 M We hope to raise a portion of this sum from the seafaring community.

BARBAROUS MURDER OF REV. D. H. WHEELER. We are pained by the recent intelligence of the shocking murder of the Rev. D. H. Wheeler, formerly Chaplain of the American Seamen's Friend Society, at Valparaiso, Chili; afterwards for two years at Aspinwall New Grenada ; and, at the time of his death, an Agent of the American Bible Society in Nicaragua. He was sent out, in July last, for the purpose of circulating the Scriptures in that country. Notwithstanding the disturbed and dangerous state of alliiirs there, in consequence of Walker's operations, he had prosecuted his work with energy and sun-ess ; had made the acquaintance of Padre Vigil, Grand-Vicar of the State of Nicaragua, and with his concurrence, and even recommendation of the books to his people, had somewhat extensively circulated the Word of God among a people eager to receive it. Near the middle of Octolior the army opposed to Walker began to approach Grenada, when he marched out with his hordes of followers to Massaya, some twenty miles distant met the enemy, and in a severe battle muted them. While he was absent, and left defenceless, a fragment of the enemy's army, with a number of outlaws who had united with it, rushed into the city plundering everywhere as they went. They came to the house of Mr. Lawless, a merchant long resident there, with whom Mr. Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson, and a young daughter resided. With great violence they seized the three men, carried them to the rest of their party in another part of the city, and in cold blood shot them all, for no other reason, probably, than because they were supposed to belong to the hated race of filibusters. Soon Walker's hordes hurried back to Grenada, when the enemy fled. The three friends—Messrs. Wheeler and Ferguson, and Mr. Lawless, whom they had left behind, and who had taken no part in the war, were soon found pierced through with balls and bayonets. Great, indeed, was the grief felt, for they were all highly beloved. The event is one of deep sorrow. Mr. Wheeler was a rare specimen of Christian self-denial, and disinterested devotion to his Maker's cause, never avoiding fields of danger, plain and out-spoken in his rebukes of sin, sometimes thereby making enemies of the wordly-wise. His death is a great loss to the Church, she has few more devoted sons. He was a native of Connecticut, but for some years a resident in the State of Indiana, where his bereaved family, a widow and several children, now reside. He was a preacher in the Methodist connection. We learn with pleasure that the Board of Managers of the American Bible Society, on hearing of his untimely death, passed nuitnble Morning Star. —At a late meeting of the resolutions of respect for his memory, and voted an appropriation to his family thus Directors of the Hawaiian Missionary Socisuddenly deprived of their head and means ety, it was unanimously decided, that on tho of support.

Roofing. —All housekeepers and house owners, at the Sandwich Islands, know how immensely important it is to have tight and lasting roofs. It is a subject deserving of special consideration, observation and experiment. A good shingle roof, if it lasts ten or fifteen years, is considered quite durable. It is important to enquire whether painting roofs in this climate is of any use. Some maintain that it docs no good, and others hold the opposite opinion. The following fact may be worth considering. The missionhouse, occupied hy Mrs. Whitney, at, Waimea, Kauai, was built in 18:17 ST 8, or aliout 30 years ago. The roof has never been reut'iveil. The shingles were good American pine, and shaved. Mr. Whitney painted the roof, when new, with a preparation ma.le acmrrflrrg to the following recipe "One measure of tint1-and, two nioasui-es of wood ashes well sifted, three of slacked lime ground up "in oil. First coat thin, second as thick as can lieput on with a paint brush." : " " ChristmaIsland. The interest which has la-en excited in the above island by the loss of the bark J.

" ChrMuias Island was discovered by the oelebrated circumnavigator ('apt. Cook. 26th Dec, 1777, but he gives no account of hating explored it: and merely slates tho sii|iposilion that it might be 00 milts in circumference. I have no reason to doubt that, the island hai much increased in size since its discovers—lieing of coralline formation; which may account for my finding it mure than 30 miles round. In Unpublished necount of ('apt.

My observations are the result of 1.7) dilferent sights, and by means of a chronometer that I have every reason to lielievo a good one, by which I made the e.tst point, of Christinas Island to lie in lat. l v Iti' N. anil long. lo7u 10' W. Bandy Island I found to lain lat. 1° ">7' N. and long. 157° 41' W., which agrees within three miles of Capt Cook's observations. With respect to the island itself,—it is little else than a sand bank, bounded by a coral reef, which make! on" about half a cable's length from the shore, and surrounds the island wilh the exception of the S. \V. point; where the surf makes to the lieach. There is very safe anchorage for ships on the west side; thero Capt. Cook anchored. The soundings art- from 10 to III) fathoms; but I should consider 20 fathoms to be the best position. This would be opposite the northern entrance of the lagoon, into which there are two passages, having Sandy Island in tho center. The southern passage however is considerably tho largest, aud the water is much tleeper than by the northern entrance. The lagoon is tilled with numerous shoals or shallow patches, and finally terminates in small lakes surrounded with sand. Some of these have become nearly dry, anil left quantities of salt in them. I found others, where the water was much Salter than any sea water. In some, tho water rises and falls with the tide outside; from which it is manilest it must ooze in and out frtnn under the land. In others, we found quantities of fish resembling the herring, but somewhat larger. There arc many sea-birds of different kinds inhabiting the island. Their eggs afforded me many a delicious repast; antl are so very plentiful, that I have seen 2,000 laying on the grountl within the space of one square acre. The land is extremely low, and composed entirely of sand with only a few bushes and small trees. In my opinion, it could not be seen from a ship more than 10 miles. The N. X side of the island tbrins a very deep bay; and it is quite necessary that all masters of vessels who intend to touch there should •be aware that such a bay exists. It was owing in a great measure to the want of this information, that I was so unfortunate as to be wrecked on its coast in Oct. 1830. Jly no means is it advisable to get embayed at this place, as there is generally a current setting straight into the hay: which, although not strong, is " " " " 21 TIE PI lEN ft, KllC I, 185 7. suflicient to drive any vessel on shore. It is subject also to almost constant heavy surfs, being completely exposed to tht swell from the N. E. trade winds.. During my residence, I have boon for six weeks waiting to go out in nty boat; anil oven when I did venture, it was at a great risk, as I seldom passed through the surf without being turned over. The winds commonly blow from I'.. N. K. to K. S. X.; but during the rainy season, we frequently had squalls from N. and N. N. W. I observisl the wet weather to oommonoe ".Unit the middle of February and it continued nearly without intermission to the time we finally left the island on the 2.1.1 .May last. With respect to currents. I will only remark, that close to the shore they vary; for on the south side of the island, I have sometimes known it to set strong to the eastward. Approach within one mile, and there is usually I think little or none either way. There is always however more or less to tho westward at I or 6 miles distance from shore; and also a strong easterly current setting ilowu upon the east point of tin- land. "On the western parts there arc some scattering groups of ciK-oanut trees; the whole number of trees may be aliout -Jllili). On the west point, or rather on the paint which forms tho southern entrance to the lagoon, there is a grove of these trees having the names of several whale ships carved upon them. These ships must from timo to time have sent their boats on whore to procure cocoaiiuts. I could not find any fresh water, though we dug in several places, and in one instance to the depth of 'J feet; but invariably came to salt water. Had we not succeeded in saving a quantity from the wreck. We must all have perished. For tho first four months of our residence we hail only two small showers; after that the rain fell in great abundance." " " India.—The Protestant missionaries of Bengal, appealing to the missionary societies in Europe and America to send more missionaries to India, state that the Presidency of Bengal, with '15,1(10,000 inhabitants, has 103 missionaries; Agra, with 30,250,000, has 60 missionaries; Bombay, with 10,000,000, has 33 missionaries; Madras, with 27,280,000, has IS2 missionaries; the Punjab, Scinde, and Niigpore, with 11,950,000, have 8 missionaries; while Hyderabad, Oude, and other states, with 42,136,000 inhabitants, have not missionary: total population 166,776,000, with 356 missionaries. In the three chief it presidency towns, Calcutta, Madras, and Bom- bay, there are 70 missionaries; while in many districts there is only one missionary for a million and a half. The northern and eastern districts of Bengal contain millions of people who never hear the gospel; and there are other states, with fifty millions more, equally destitute. Singular Circumstance—Last Tuesday both wires of the House Telegraph Line to New York were broken at the same time, between this city and Providence, yet the line worked well, and their business was transmitted without interruption. The lower wire broke first, and one end crossed the upper wire. Shortly after the upper wire was broken, and the ends crossed the lower wire, thus making a good circuit, though both wires were broken. Such a combination seldom occurs, and is worthy of note as a curiosity in telegraphing.—Boston Times.

The shape of the harbor ami clntnnel eontriitos. Its geographical position in relation to is such as to offer as much wharf facilities as any the old and t:cw world tends unavoidably to make it harbor of its area in the world. The reefs on both uch. sides are easy of improvemeutandwith extent enough The population of Honolulu is somewhat fltictuattg ; during the fall and winter season it is as high of themselves for a first class city. There are five good wharves, at which vessels of s 10,000 or 12,000, caused by the influx of seamen 1600tons can discharge or take in cargo. These and also natives from the other islands of the group. wharves furnish about six hundred feet wharfage At other seasons of the year il may be as low as 7,0t)0 front. The government are now constructing new to 8,000. There are four ship chandlery stores, about piers, and it is probable that, before the end of twenty importing houses, anil from fifty to sixty retwelve months, one thousand feet of additional whar- tail stores, twelve hotels, nine or ten physicians, and five printing offices. There are six church edifices, fage will be ready for use. This port is so easy of access, that any sailing some of them very substantial specimens of archidirections for it are almost superfluous. The trade tecture, and capable of accommodating each from arc numerous, wind blows over the islands about nine months of the 300 to 8,000 persons. The schools year, from March to November ; during the winter both for the .native and foreign children, antl it is months the South and West winds prevail, and bring generally thought, by those most capable of judging, in Honolulu for a thorusually a great quantity of rain. These months arc that the advantages afforded to generally stormy, and during them it is unsafe to anch- ough education are equal those of New England, or in the roads. Most of the marine disasters occur- excepting only her universities and colleges. Aside from these elements of material prosperity, ring about the islands are in December, January and February. When the trade wind prevails vessels there are gathered together in Honolulu many facilishould approach the islands and run along to the ties for real intellectual and social enjoympnts ; also inirth'ard of Hawaii, Maui and Molokai, distant many other diversions, said to be enjoyments, which from the land say fifteen or twenty miles, and are not so intellectual. We have a college of physi<>,reu,b ,b, channel between Molokai and cian., an incorporated college for student*, delight- ' foMnt ftilly located at Punahou ; our postal arrangements with the old world are complete antl correspondence is carried on with all parts of the world regularly and without confusion. There are three weekly and two monthly journals printed here iv both the Hawaiian anil English languages. They are conducted with more or less ability, with a high or low moral tone, according to the editorial caliber and the intellectual and moral wants of their respective supporters. We avoid drawing comparisons between this harbor and any of the other harbors of the Hawaiian group. Commerce, with its true instincts, always alights upon the best and converts it into a metropolis. This harbor is an exemplification of the assertion not to be disputed by those interested in the prosperity of the kingdom, and we think it would be well for till to lend their good will to make it the center of that wiilecoinmercefor which it is so favorably situated antl thereby benefit themselves in a wise way. Before closing our remarks on the harbor of Honolulu, perhaps we ought to allude to its wants. A i.ii.iiT-iinisK ought to be erected forthwith at tho entrance of the harbor. The necessities of our commerce demand this improvement. The fearful disasters and losses near and al the mouth of the harbor for the hist few years, and all for the want of one, call loudly f.n-'sii.h a safeguard. Aside from tho losses which it would be the means of preventing, it would lie the greatest :ic.-iiiniii...l iti.m to vessels in enabling them to cotne in and go out at all times, night or day. Thus saving " time, which is money," or will lie as the " star of empire" approaches our meridian, We believe a proper light-house might be built by private parties, and that ships visiting this poti would consent willingly to be taxed here as well as elsewhere, for this kind of insurance of sal'eguardy and that the amount of tax so levied would be atari; or quite sufficient to Indues private parties to erect one without delay. But a Want much move felt is a ni'irinc railway f..r repairing ship. Wt art surprised that no attempt to .-.instruct a railway has ever been carriedout here. The statistics which we publish to-day show the arrival of a large number of vessels, one-fifth of which .■..nie int.. titis port for repairs. Tlie present mode of repairing vetntls is very expensive, while the repairing of the hull of large sli-ainers at. this port is almost impracticable tit present. W*t are ttill 111 that the Cost of a substantial railway for the present wants of our commerce will not exceed $26,000. And it would be a fortune to tiny person or company who undertook it with practical knowledge of the subject. But the length to which our article has run compels as to stop hare We slull however recur to the subject and furnish some figures to show the necessity of a railway.— Pacific Commercial Jl,lcertiser. The End of a Fuddling Club.—A celebrated drinking club, in the west of Scotland, which had formerly great influence at the local flection, is broken up. Two of its members were sent to a lunatic assylum ; one jumped from a window and killed himself; one walked or fell into the» water at night iintl wits drowned; one was found dead in a public-house ; one died of delirium tremens ; upwards of ten became bankrupt; four died ere they had lived half their days. One who w.ts a bailie when connected with the club, is at present keeping a low public-house. Such arc a few facts well known to those living in the locality.—Liverpool Albion. Sensible and Conclusive.—A prominent Virginian having recently been challenged to fight a duel, gave the following among other reasons for declining: "Your life could not be the value of a pin's point to me, and I am sure I should derive no comfort from making your wife a widow, or your children father- less; therefore I have no desire to take it: while my own life is not only of value to me, but indispensible to the happiness and support of my family, and I hope to make it useful to my country;. therefore I am not disposed to place it at your disposal." �23 TDK FRIEND. .11 ART 11.

"Charlie Backus" and the Missionaries. Everybody knows "Charlie Backus," the inimitable delineator of Shakesperean characters—Charlie went to California, and there was suddenly seized with a desire to "go west." A theatrical company was just embarking for the Sandwich Islands, who kindly " took Charlie in" as a sort of " supe" to the concern, but, the first night of the opening proved Charlie was the star" of the troupe. He could so well imitate" Forrest, Booth, and other eminent actors, that the American population of Honolulu filled the theatre to see this counterpart to their old favorites. Among thisclass of "lovers of the drama" were the Missionaries, who nocked to the principal seats night after night at three dollars a ticket. Charlie felt honored and "spread himself." He drew tremendously and drew upon the Missionary Fund so largely, that he was enabled not only to return to California a "star" but returned to his country flush with funds. We saw him at the St. Nicholas in this city a few days since, and he assured us that the identical contributions collected in the several churches in aid of the " Sandwich Islands Mission" he had there and then in his pocket; and he could vouch that a portion at least of this pious fund had been properly appropriated. The above paragraph we copy from the 4th, in Cleaveland, Ohio. " Everybody knows" that the Sandwich Islands Missionaries have been unjustly charged with much that is wrong— hut this is really a new charge. If we supposed the editors publishing this charge really believed what they wrote, or supposed their readers would credit such ridiculous charges, then we would undertake their refutation. Although we shall make no attempt to refute the jocose assertions, still a passing remark may not be out of place : 1. The editors of that paper seem really to enjoy a thrust at the Sandwich Islands missionaries. We have not forgotten their re- Plain*-Dealer, published Feb. view of "Typee," and their publication of certain private letters written from Honolulu —neither have we forgotten how the ofliciousness of those editors in publishing said letters, involved their correspondent in a series of partial denials, which were anything hut pleasant and agreeable. 2. The editors of the Plain-Dealer seem to be highly sensitive upon the subject of missionary funds, and the Banner of their appropriation. We would suggest that those editors, and persons sympathizing with them send out a delegation for the purpose of inquiring into the matter. On their arrival in Honolulu we assure them that every facility shall be extended to them for prosecuting their inquiries. They shall have the result of our fifteen years observation. We will visit with them the native schools and churches, and furnish correct statistical information. For once, let us have a correct report! 3. In mentioning the many distinguished characteristics of Mr. " Charlie Backus," we think it should have been stated that, as an imitator of negroes he particularly excelled, if any reliance can he placed upon the placards about the streets. If ever Mr. Backus acquired a large amount of funds as an imitator of African minstrelsy, we think that he deserved the reward, for it must have been exceedingly unpleasant and disagreeable for a gentlemen of Mr. Backus' talents to have "corked" his face night after night, and appeared in the capacity of a negro, before either "a company of missionaries," or of gentlemen and ladies in any part of the world. How " a man that is a man," can stoop to such mimicry is quite unaccountable ! We fondly hope we may yet hear that Mr. Backus, the inimitable imitator of Shakspeare, Forrest, Booth, and other eminentactors, has been led to devote his talents to the cause of Him, "'who spake as never man spake," and who " went about doing good." .4. It seldom has been our fortune to meet any Cleaveland people in these ends of the earth, but strange as the coincidence may seem, it is no less true, that on the very same day that we took from the Post-office the newspaper containing the above extracts, a citizen of Cleaveland, lately an attache of the Circus, visited our study and desired a loan of money. Not being disinclined to assist a 25 \m M. v* stranger in friendless circumstances, we provided for him at the Sailors' Home, and by applying to the U. S. Consul, obtained for him a free passage to .San Francisco en route to Cleaveland. We hope he will report himself to the editors of the Plain-Dealer. 5. We would suggest that the editors of the Plain-Dealer send a copy of their paper of Feb. 4th, to London, to the conductor of the Westminster Review, for the writer of a labored article in a late number of that Review denouncing the whole missionary enterprise, has based his arguments and built up his theory, quoting some authorities not a whit more trustworthy than the charge that the Sandwich Islands Missionaries flocked to the theatre night after night at three dollars a ticket. 6. We thank the editors of the Plain-Dealer for their plain-dealing with missionaries, upon the supposition of their attending the theatre, and the very same censure will apply with equal force to all professing Christians here and elsewhere. It is no place for those who profess to have renounced the world. We know very well that some serious-minded people think it no harm to attend for once, or when some favorite star, like " Charlie Backus," makes his appearance ; but taking the opinion of the editors of the Plain-Dealer as the view of the world upon this subiet, it is quite manifest that the church-member ought never to venture within the precincts , of the theater. theatre was, from the very first, " The The favorite haunt of evil, though honest men, Borne very honest, wise and worthy men, Maintained it might be turned to good account ; And so perhaps it might, but never was. From first to last it was an evil place ; And now such things were acted there, as made The devils blush ; and from the neighborhood. Angels and holy men, trembling, retired." The natives of the Sandwich Islands have applied a name to the theatre which corresponds to the view entertained of the same by the English poet, whose lines we have just quoted. They have denominated the theatre Diabolo,"—house of the devil! " Hale But we are writing quite too long a chapter upon these rather playful remarks of the editors of the Plain-Dealer relating to his friend " Charlie Backus," but the truth is, we, editors, have no more right to tell the million what it not true, than we have to tell an untruth to Mr. John Smith. �26 THK FRIEND. APRIL. Us*,. IAN NCIDENT. During the last lew years it has been our privilege to have become acquainted with, at least, three persons who were once connected the theatre who have afforded most lible evidence of having met with that nge of mind spoken of by our Saviour in the third chapter of tin Qotfd of John. Some ten years ago, a young man connected with one of the theatres in I'hiladrlphiu, Incoming dissatisfied mill uneasy, sought repose for his troubled mind in the life of a sailor. He was mi Englishman by birth, and had received in early life a good education. Our Eh acquaintance commenced when he sought for books to beguile the wea/y hours of a life ;>t sea. He visited Honolulu aeven] times, and we had frequent opportunities of seeing and convening With him. On his return in autumn of 1847,(if we are nut mistaken) to our great surprise, we learned that an entire change hail taken place in all liis newt upon religious subjects. Among the books which had fallen into his handi waa one entitled Baxter's Call to the Umoonmrted. The reading of that admirable little book hadeffectually aroused his attention to seek tor the pearl of great price. Being a person whose thoughts would frequently assume a poericol form, he wrote a few lines entitled, " Fnrewfl! t" the north-west const" for it was off that coast that the ship in which he sailed had been cruising. From this rft'n. sion we copy the following lines ■ Farewell thuucolli Uml, wiiti thy in-uni: u.- ! Far, tar from tliy haMttti g - cherish the pleasing thought that, if still alive, he may lie traveling the " path of the just which shineih more and more unto the perfect day." Before patting, in 1847 or '48, he gave us another poetical scrap, containing the following seiit:ment, which might appropriately be addressed to a minister of the Gospel, who was inclined to ask who hath bettered our report?" " Flint not, but spank tn sinners hardtMird— 'toll tlieiii of atoning Wood— Slmw than bow they may In- pardoned, - I'hrottgu the glorious Lam>> ot tio>i. ** Unfurl the glorious Gospel hunnnr— IV;.it- tin: lilefiiiinr iths's display ; Live then in h faithful iniitiiior— l'oint tn Heaven, and hid the way." Another Incident; or, Conversion of Thorpe, the Actor. BY REV. G. B. C. CHEEVER. We copy the following paragraphl from a work of Cheever, entitled Lectttrmm the life, Genua and Insanity of Cowper. The period in English history, to which these passages refer, is about the year 17*'''-'. We are confident the following narrative respecting the conversion of a stage-actor will be read with interest. The instances are not rare, wherein persona who have commenced their career upon the stage have ended it in the pudpit: "The characteristics of this era of the Holy Spirit's power in England can not he better conveyed than by the relation of some of the new extraordinary cases of conversion through the preaching of Whitefield, Komaine, Wesley and others.

The retribution in that passage he felt was for himself, and its terrors, glared upon him in array against his own soul, and out of that rapid and overwhelming conviction he preached. The truths of guilt, death, eternity, and the judgment to come, were never proclaimed in gloomier aspect, for there was no mixture of grace with then. Yet be frequently afterward declared that if ever in his life he preached by the assistance of the Spirit of Uod, it was at that time. The whole subject WM revealed before him, the necessity of repentance, the threatened perdition of the soul, the terrors of the second death ; and he preached to his companions, guilty,reprobate, and dying, as himself reprobate anil dying. His fervor and fire increased as he went on, sad the sympathetic gloom of his audience deepened the convictions on his own soul, and the sentences fell from his lips with such intense and burning imagery, and such point, pungency, ami power of language, that, as he afterward related, it seemed to him as if his own Iwiir would stand ere. t with terror at their awfulness.

Thorpe instantly withdrew from the company without uttering a word, and, it is needless in say, never returned to mat society; but, after a season of the deepest distress and conflict, passed into the full light of the Gospel, and at length became a most successful preacher of its grace." STILL ANOTHER INCIDENT. BYENOLA. "Night had thrown her dark mantle over earth and sea. The heart of the great citywas stilled and scarcely a pulsation beat.— The brilliantly lighted halls were now enshrouded in gloom, and the sound of revelry and mirth had ceased. All seemed wrapt in silent slumlier save one—'the eye thatslumbereth not.' " The night wore on. The grey dawn in the east began to fade the bright stars from night's quiet sky, and the purple tints of morning tinged the horizon gloriously. One, who had attracted a multitude of worshippers at the shrine of youth, genius and beauty, left her couch that the morn's pure air and gentle influences might fan her fevered brow and chase disquietude and sadness away. She left the crowded city walk for a more retired point, and passed on till suddenly a sound fell upon her ear; a cottage door was partly open—t'was the hour for morning prayer. An aged sire was reading a portion from the "old fashioned bible," and then began the hymn of praise—the first words of which that fell upon her ear were these— �"There for DM the Bsrlsnr Stead*, Shows his wounds unci spreads his hands, God is love—l asms-I M, ■iisie, asses sad totes bw stiil."

The strain went on— " 1 have long withstood his grace, Long provoked him to his fice, Would not hearken to hit culi", Grieved hiiu by » thousand falls.' Tho voice of prayer succeeded praise.— Each sentence seemed a pointed arrow, as if aimed at a heart already pierced. With slowly retreating steps she turned to seek her home. The busy hum of city life now fell upon her ear but seemed unheard. Amid the great splendor of her beautiful home she sought to forget the soul struggle within. An hour passed. The stage managers of the city of B desired her presence below. With throbbing heart she obeyed the summons. She must appear that evening by special request, in a favorite character.

The purpose of those chief in authority, to abandon, as far n.i piacticable, in the discipline of the siiip, the iron rule, and, in place of the "cat" and the "colt," the kick and the' curse, to substitute a treatment less degrading to man and more befitting him as a moral atrent and an intelligent being, has lieen tarried out. Thus far the experiment has been successful, anil we have a cheerful, obedient, active and efficient crew, We are also demonstrating the feet, by experience, that the crew can be content and happy without having served to them the ration of grog furnished by Government. Knowing that two-thirds of all the evil and misery lo which sailors, as a class, are subject, both at sea and on shore, arises from the use of strong drink, 1, early after the commencement ot our cruise, made eitons, by private argument as well ;ts by public addresses, to demonstrate the magnitude of the evils arising from intemperance, and to persuade all to follow the example of those who had stopped drawing rum.

The consequence is. we shall enter port without the name of an individual on the grog list, with the universal admission that the ship's company, to say the least, are content and happy without the rum as they were with it, and certainly more quiet and orderly. In the course of my cunvass on the subject, I had not only many interesting, but many amusing conversations and arguments with various individuals. Before yielding, therewas a great struggle in the minds of some half a dozen old topers—old men-of-warsmen, perfect sea-dogs, who, for half a century, have drank their grog as regularly asthe roll of the drum announcing its readiness was heard, and felt that they could not live without it.

But the old man soon joined the rest of his shipmates in the resolution to banish the grog tub. He has now gone a long time without his rum, and, in place of dying from the want of it, as he said he should, came up to me yesterday, looking hale and hearty, and, with a bright smile and speaking eye, said, , I wouldn't have believed it, "Mr. S but it's true.

See it : divine Master among the heathen. These ladies take this method of expressing the interest they feel in the new and beautiful vessel under your charge, and their approbation of the conduct of thousands of beloved children in this land and in the United States, who have purchased her, paid for her, and fitted her out for this most noble of all services. It is not the costliness of the gift, nor its elegance that constitutes its value, but the sentiment it conveys by its silent and significant emblems. Wherever it may wave at your masthead, let it proclaim to all that this beautiful craft plows the main, not for commerce, not for conquest, not for discovery, but for the extension ofthe light and love, peaceand good will to all the Polynesian families. And should any dark-minded Islander ever inquire of you, " What mean these hieroglyphics, what means that central star and that flying dove ?" you can tell them the one means light and the other love, shed abroad in the hearts of men through the Son and the Spirit of God, and thus men are saved. " Light antl Love" is our motto. These are what the benighted races of Polynesia need, and what the Morning Star is intended to carry to them. The hands that wrought this beautiful banner were moved by hearts that feel only love and good will for all for whose welfare this vessel sails the ocean; and, need I add, that the same sentiments pervade the hearts of this entire mass of dear children here present to-day, whether of the native race, the white or the mixed, who are here as part owners of the vessel, and whose fixed attention shows how deeply they are interested. Their young and tender hearts also glow to-day with kindly feeling towards our common brotherhood of the Polynesian races. Accept, then, sir, this banner, from the ladies of Honolulu, and wherever the winds and the waves, in the Providence of God, may carry you, let it proclaim " peace on earth and good will towards men." May the day star from on high soon arise on STAR GATHERING. cause of our Believing that many of our readers will be interested in a full report of the proceedings connected with the presentation of a Banner to the Morning Star, by the ladies and children of Honolulu, we publish the addresses delivered upon the occasion. A very large assemblage, numbering two or three thousand, gathered, at four o'clock, P. M., April 29th, on Market Wharf and in the streets adjacent. The Morning Star was moored to the wharf, and so situated as to be in full viewof the crowd. Her Majesty, the Queen, occupied a conspicuous position upon the stairs of the market. She was attended by Prince Lot, Mr. Wyllie and Dr. Rooke. We regret the absence of His Majesty from the Islands, for we are confident, had he been in town, he would have honored the occasion by his presence. The exercises on the occasion took place agreeably to the programme, found in another portion of our columns. Immediately after the Banner was presented, and before Capt. Moore had finished his reply, the numerous audience gave cheer upon cheer, as the signal was seen floating from the masthead. Foreigners and natives, old and young, all joined in the "hurrah !" We do not say the ladies joined, but we should be far from asserting that they did not! The Banner is about twenty feet long and twelve feet wide. The star is directly under the center of the word " morning." The dove is placed in the lower corner on the right hand. The ground work is of white bunting, and the emblems of sky-blue. All the Sabbath Schools of the city were numerously represented, and they marched there, floating in the blue of heaven—" peace and good will!" The olive leaf has appeared above the dark, heaving waters, and the prisoners of hope are stretching forth their hands in joyful recognition of this token of emancipation. It is well. We join with you in thanks to our God, and hope the Islands of the Sea will soon join with us in ascribing all praise, and honor, and blessing to Him who has wrought this great salvation, and under whose wings we have come to trust. Let your blessings follow us as we go hence, and, as your eyes follow the receding form of the Morning Star till it sinks behind the wave, may its beams shoot up in bright corruscations, evidencing a more glorious appearing, till time shall be no more. Substance of Hon. John Ii's Remarks. Children and Good People :—The Morning Star has at last arrived ; she lies in her beauty and fitness for her work. She is not like other vessels. They sail the, ocean for different objects; some to trade, some to fight, some to seek new countries. Not so the Morning Star. You and the children in America have purchased her and fitted her out to carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to nations in this ocean, who are yet as dark, and degraded, and wretched as we once were. That is the work of this vessel, and if any persons on earth ought to engage heartily in this work, it is me—it is you, children. How do we come to see such a spectacle here to-day ? Where were we once ? Ah ! we saw nothing like this in the days of our heathenism. Now, we not only have the Gospel of Jesus, but we have to spare ! We can afford to send it to other lands yet in darkness. Our men and our women are going off" to communicate to others the blessings we have received. Let us not, then, tire in this work; let us rather increase, more and more. We have received much, let us do much. And, you, children, will soon be men and women, and I hope some of you may by-and-by go forth to the �south or west, and labor for Christ among the heathen. If so, happy shall you be; happy shall we all be to see it. The time may come when some of you, moved by compassion for the heathen, may sail in this same Morning Star, to carry the Gospel to some heathen land. If so, blessed shall we be, and blessed shall be our children. sC, . RS.byAedvr.Damon. Ladies, Gentlemen and Children, —As 1 glance my eyes over this immense concourse I regret that I consented to speak on this occasion. If the audience, however, will indulge me for a brief moment, I will add but a few words to the apt and appropriate remarks which have already been uttered ; short speeches have been the order of the day, and mine shall not prove tho exception. We are a company of favored spectators to-day. We are privileged to behold a vessel, the sight of which was denied to the good people of New York city, though many of them desired it! Probably, one hundred thousand children in the United States have contributed to fit her out. How few of those many thousands ever saw, or ever will see the beautiful craft we are now ga/ing upon, with her ensign hoisted, signals set, and streamers flying. There she rests upon the bosom of our quiet harbor, like the wearied sea-fowl with folded wings, after a long flight. But is she weary? No! like the youthful sailor, buoyant, hopeful and adventurous, she is ready for another trip, though not a week in port. That little vessel, my friends, is one of the golden links in that chain of Christian love, binding us, isolated in our position, to the good of other lands, and the unevangclized islands of Polynesia; but in a special manner uniting our children with the children of America. Hawaii and America are more closely joined than ever before. The rising generation of both nations have joined hands and cast their " dimes" into the same treasury. They are stockholders in the same enterprise. It is a good omen for the future. Some years ago, the children of missionloving old England, contributed their pennies to build and fit out the John Williams and the John Wesley for cruising among " the isles of the South." I rejoice that American and Hawaiian children have followed their praiseworthy example, causing a Morning Star to arise upon the islands of the North Pacific. Long may this Star remain above the horizon! Long may its bright beams, glancing abroad, gladden our mission stations in distant Micronesiaand Marquesas ! Long may its mild rays be reflected in the smooth waters of the Pacific ! I doubt not all gathered on this deeply interesting and joyful occasion, will unite in breathing forth the wish expressed in the beautiful language of the gifted Cowper: earnest " Heaven epeed the canvas, gallantly unfurled To furnish and accommodate a world ; Soft airs and gentle hcavings of the wave Impel the ship, whose errand is to save. To succour wasted regions, and replace The smile of joy and hope, in sorrow's face. Let nothing adverse, nothing unforeseen. Impede the bark that ploughs tho deep serene ; Charged with a freight transcending in its worth, The gems of India, Nature's rarest birth, That flies like Gabriel on the Lord's commands, A herald of God's love, to pagan lands." Address of Rev. H. Bingham, Jr. Just as the exercises were about to clo.e, a call was made, in the crowd, for Mr. Bingham to address the audience. As he hesitated a moment, the call was repeated: "Binama! Binama!" "Bingham! Bingham !" Thus unexpectedly called out, he delivered the following address : It gives me pleasure to stand here before you, upon this, my native soil. It gives me pleasure to stand here before my countrymen, and especially under circumstances like the present. I have always been proud to have licen a Hawaiian, but never more so than I am to-day, when I behold such expressions of interest in the Missionary Ship. It has been a pleasure to me to have been the first Missionary to sail in her from the United Suites, and I have been much gratified to have met the first Hawaiian Missionary whom the Morning Star shall bear from these shores to other Islands of Polynesia, and this day I have been much gratified to look upon him, as he stood before his countrymen, to receive from his pastor his final charge. But while we have thus met, under cir- cumstances of so great interest, I desire to urge upon you that you guard against allowing this interest to die away in outward expression. We may stand in danger of being influenced too much by the impulse of the moment. Interest in the cause of Christ, to be accepted, must be constant. If such interests be cherished among God's people, then it matters not whether we, individually, live or die; it matters not whether the Morning Star be soon wrecked upon the reefs of Micronesia. The Kingdom of Christ will still advance. So far from God's people being discouraged, the means for another vessel would be forthcoming. But, let us trust that this little ship, which so gracefully floats before us, may long be spared to plow the majestic Pacific, on its errands of mercy to the benighted of Polynesia ; and, when I shall have gone forth to islands far distant in the west, may she bring me glad tidings that on these shores Christ's Kingdom is still advancing, his cause still loved, and the prayers of his children still offered for our success, their faith still strong. I would it were in my power to address in their own tongue, these thousands before me. Then would I call to mind what God hath wrought among them. To them the light of the Gospel has been brought, and as they have received freely, let them give freely— " Freely ye have received, freely give." Go forth then with the news of salvation—yon cannot all go. Give then freely of your sympathies, your prayers, your means. Live for Christ. This vast assembly will meet again—no more on earth—but at the judgment seat of Christ we shall all appear, both old and young, both great and small.

So nearly certain did it, for some months, appear that this fiery deluge would roll over our fair Eden, that many, probably most of the people, laid their plans and concerted measures to escape with such property as could be removed. It is also a fact that, under these threatening dangers, prayer was offered without ceasing by the church at Hilo, both in private and public. We also know that multitudes of God's people in other parts of the islands and in other lands, did not cease to lift up their prayers and cries to God for our deliverance. A day of solemn fasting and prayer was also observed by the people of Hilo, both by na| fives and foreigners, and few even of the un| lielieving class, exhibited the least disrespect the occasion. Most seemed impressed i for with the propriety and solemnity of the act. And still another fact remains On the 13th of February, 18i6, six months from the commencement of the flow, and when the lowest point of the stream was sea, and when, to all i within six miles of the ! human appearance, the action from the sumjmit crater to the terminus of the flow was j unabated, suddenly and unexpectedly the fiejry river ceased to flow longitudinally, and from that day to the present it has made no advance towards the coast. This was marvellous, because the great feeder, or summit crater was in full blast, and because the unmeasured floods of igneous minerals were The lava stream is estimated at seventy poured down the mountain for nine months miles in length, with a probable average .after the above date, lighting up our forests breadth of two miles, and a depth varying with a lurid glare anil furnishing a scene of from ten to three hundred feet.

We would merely remark, that it is customary for a portion of the daily sessions of the association to be occupied in reading essays, the topics having been assigned the previous year. The following was prepared and read by the Rev. T. Coan, of Hi- lo, whose situation enabled him to carefully observe the volcanic phononiena on Hawaii : Is IT PROPER TO HOLD lIP THE IHKA HKI-ORE THE HaWAIIANS THAT THE LAVA-FLOW TOwards Hilo ceased in answer to pray- er I Instead of giving a categorical answer to this question we propose to inquire L What are the facts in the case '. 11. What does the Bible teach us to believe on the subject of prayer ? 111. What are some of the scriptural examples in answer to prayer ? TV. What have been the doctrines and example of the Christian chur-hes on this •subject ? Y. Would any other teaching be according to the Inspired Word, or honorable to : Gad? I. Let us look at facts : On the 11th of August, 1855, a great volcanic eruption commenced on Mauna Loa. For fifteen months this great furnace continued to disgorge its floods of molten minerals with an energy not a little startling. If we take into account the amount of incandescent matter discharged, the length, breadth and depth of the stream, and the time of its continuance, this eruption has no parallel in the history of volcanic phenomona with which we are acquainted. . — : �1857 local calamity? And, when a State or EmTo the Centurion Christ said: As thou believed so be it done unto thee." pire is in distreiss, when appalling judgments " According to your faith so be it unto threaten, when dark clouds of wrath over" hang and a fiery horizon encircles it, has not you." " I have never said to the seed at Jacob, the proclamation often gene forth from the seek ye me in vain." "All things are possible to him that be- lieveth." "He will hear the prayer of ihe humble, and not despise their prayer." To the woman of Canaan : " O, woman, great is thy faith ; be it unto thee even as thou wilt." Texts of the same import might be greatly inultipled ; but those cited are sufficient. 111. Sonic of the Scriptural examples of answer to prayer. These are very numerous. I select a few only : First, take the case of Jacob, wrestling with God for deliverance from Esau Gen. xxxn ; and the result: Gen. xxxm. See, also, the prayers of Moses, in Egypt, at the Red Sea and in the wilderness. How strikingly and promptly they were answered. The prayers,-also, of Gideon, of Hannah, of Samuel, of David and of Solomon are in point. But the prayers of Elijah and Elisha are among the most striking in the Old Testament. The prayers, also, of Hezekiah, of Josiah, of Asa and of Jehosaphnt, when threatened with invasion, and when in deep distress, were promptly answered. So, also, were the prayers of Job, of Daniel and his friends, and of Ezra in camp at Ahava. In the New Testament we also find the same facts thickly studding those glorious pages. The leper, the Centurion, Janus, the blind man, the Syro-Phoenccian woman, the prayers of the church for Peter in prison, of Paul and Silas in the dungeon, and many other of a like character, all show that our God is a prayer-answering God, and that we may always trust Him with all confidence, not only for spiritual but also for all necessary temporal good. He is as truly the God of the material as of the spiritual universe, and He who listens to thesong of seraphim and cherubim, hears also the young ravens when they cry, gives meat to the young lions when they roar, watches the the nest of the sparrow and numbers the hairs of his saints. IV. We now ask what have been the doctrine and the practice of the Christian church on this subject? It is a historical fact, that in all ages, from the days of Christ to the present time, the devout and evangelical portion of this church have believed and taught the doctrine of a special, superintending and controling Providence in all the affairs of the universe, the minute as well as the vast; the complicated and occult as well as the simple and plain. To prove this I might cite confessions, declarations, prayers, sermons, lectures, and uncounted tomes of theology. But the fact is so obvious that I will not impose such a task on your time and patience. And if we look at the example of Christians, we find the same great fact prominent in all ages of the church. What has bee* more common than special, private, social and public prayers for a sick friend, a minister, a ruler, etc. ? And how often have particular churches or sections of country been called to fast and pray for the averting ol some : throne and the altar, calling upon all, the high and the low, to fast and pray and sit in sackcloth. War, famine, pestilence, drought, earthquake, tempest, and other public calamities, have all been considered by the pious as so many trumps of God, calling on his people to enter into their chambers, to shut their doors about them, and to humble themselves before Him whose wrath clothes the heavens in sackcloth and makes the pillars of the earth tremble. Why was England on her knees before the great Arbiter of Nations at the approach of the falsely called " Invincible Armada ?" And why did Jehovah thunder upon that infernal fleet, and scatter and break that armament with a tempest in his wmth ? And why ditl President Taylor proclaim a last throughout the American Republic when the cholera hovered, like an angel of death, over all that land t And when that messenger of wrath, the small pox, invaded the little, quiet and healthful kingdom of Hawaii, why did His Majesty, Kaniehameha 111., call upon his people to fast and pray and humble themselves before the God in whose hand our breath is ? Can there be any connection between prayer and the object desired ? How can prayer crystalize melted rocks; turn the current of nn incandescent river; hush the tempest; cause the heavens to give rain ; clothe the bronzed and burning earth with verdure; still the raging ocean ; scatter a marshaled host of warriors ; neutralize a deadly malaria ; move the hearts of monarchs on the throne and of monsters in the deep; control the motions of the heavenly orbs, or affect the wheels of universal nature? These are questions we cannot answer. The modus operandi—the how is with God. The fact is proclaimed in the Bible, published in all history, preached throughout Christendom and confessed in all prayers. " All things whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive"—even to the uprooting of mountains and casting them into the sea, and to the arresting of the sun in his career through the heavens. He chains the tempest, He holds the thunder. He sweeps the skies upon his storm car, He raises and hushes the ocean wave, and all this in answer to the prayer of the humble and contrite. Y. One more point remains, viz Would any other teaching be according to the inspired Word or honorable to God ? " Call upon Me,'' says God, " in the day of trouble. 1 will hear thee and thou shalt glorify Me." : David savs, in the ifcid Psalms, "Our fathers trusted in Thee and Thou didst deliver them. They cried unto Theeand were delivered. They trusted in Thee and were not confounded." Again, he says, " The King shall joy in thy strength, O Lord ! and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice ! Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips." It has been the character of Bible saints, not only to pray but to expect the blessing asked for ; and not only to look for and expect the desired favor, but to know and thankfully acknowledge, it when received. 35 THE FRIEND. MAY, And more—to feel and say that it came from Cod in answer to prayer. Such has been the simple faith of multitudes of the saints. Without sophistry, speculation, phyItiMiphy or doubt, they have received the fact on the promise of Cod and on the testimony of observation and experience. And is there any other way in which we can expound the Bible, or give evidence that we believe it, or honor that Cod whose Word is yea and amen and who has not said to the seed of Jacob seek ye Me in vain ? When Moses prayed that the awful thunders of Egypt might cease, that the successive plagues which fell on Pharaoh might be suspended, that the beleagurod tribes at the Red Sea might be delivered, that Amalek might be discomfited, that the offerings of Koran and Dothan might not be accepted, or that the rebels in the wilderness might not be consumed by the fire of Cod's jealousy—did he hesitate to believe that Cod granted the very petitions he asked ? or was he slow or timid in recording the facts to the honor of a holy and faithful Cod t Did be say to the multitudes around him and to an infidel world, there may or there may not have been an "immediate connection between those prayers and the results which followed ? Would this have honored Cod ? Would this have been biblical ? Would it have been the language of a bold, yet simple and childlike faith ?

Theview from theanchorage is one of the most picturesque in the world, Towering mountains, covered with woods, cascades, ravines and the Wuiule river, with one of the richest valleys in our group, all mingle together in making it a scene of unusual beauty. I lie trade of the port is now very limited and is confined to u few coasting vessels, which supply the wants of the nativesund thecoffee plantations. Whale shins seldom visit the port now. The steamer Witt Point aaed to make this one of her stopping place* in her trips around the estabIsland, and a profitable trade was being lished by her at the time of her hiss. The two largest coH'ce plantation*on the islands are located here, producing annually 150,000 to 200,000 lb*, of cone*, [a the neighborhood of the port sevral thousand head Ol cattle run wild, and in firmer years considerable quantities ofbeef were packed here, but owing to the poor and Irregular facilities for sending it to market, it bus been cn..i-clv broken np. [tWS* in this harbor in the year 1824, thirtythree years ago, that the Royal Hawaiian brig Cleopatra's Bargr, ''Tho Pride of Hawaii," was wrecked, the circumstance* attending which it may not be amiss to relate here. The wreck is supposed to have occurred solely through the incompetency or negligence of the master, a foreign.r. After the natives had brought on shore from the wreck, the spars, rigging and other article*, they attempted to haul up the brig itself. This furnished one of the best, specimens of physical force ever witno*»od among them. — .

The multitude quietly listening some six or eight minutes, at a particular turn or passage in the song indicating the order to march, rose together, and as the song continued with increasing volubility and force, slowly moved forward in silence ; and all leaning from the shore, strained their huge ropes, tugging together to heave up the vessel.

HONOLin.r, ji;*.i: «... i°..vr Female Education among Hawaiians. While much has been said and written upon the subject of education at the Sandwich Islands, unless we are greatly mistaken, there is one department which has been lamentably overlooked, especially of late years. The American Board is supporting a school for boys at Hilo, Hawaii, and another at Waiole, Kauai ; the Government is sustaining the Seminary at Lahaiualuna, Maui, and the Royal School at Honolulu ; but all these schools are for males. No schools or seminaries, of corresponding rank, exist for the education of females. They are left to gather a meagre education from the common schools, or those for English, and to schools exclusively private. Is this right ? Is it doing justice to the female portion of the native population ? We do not complain that so much is done lo educate the boys, but we do lament that more is not done to educate the girls of this nation. Is not here to be found a fruitful source of the low state of morals and female virtue among Hawaiians? We would call the attention ofthe guardians of education to this subject. It should have been more carefully discussed at the late meetings of the Missionaries. The Board of Education should take immediate action. Where there is a will there is a way. No wonder the patrons of the "hula" find victims, while the professed friends of the Hawaiian race are doing so little to educate the female portion of the pesrle. We trust that, very soon, we shall be permitted to witness some well-concerted and wise-directed movement upon this subject. Speak out, Advertiser and Polynesian.

It deserves to be remembered that a very small part of these publications have been used for the residents of the town. Nearly all of them have been distributed among seamen and other transient visitors from eight different nations in distant quarters of the globe. It ought not to be expected, therefore, that this infant community, now struggling so hard amid its weakness and want, to lay the first foundations of its own religious and literary institutions, should defray the whole expense of supplying the demands of all these thousands from other lands.

It is an honored member of the greal linnof benevolent societies, whose object is to give the pel to the whole race of man. The special uiisi of tins Institution, in cooperation with other dred societies, is to carry tbe Word of God to ry nation and people in its own tongue, that all may Ik- partakers of its blessings. The British and foreign Bible Society may be said to stand at the head of Ibis noble class ofinstitutions. Since its formation, the Scriptures have been translated into one hundred nnd forty-eight languages and dialects, one hundredand twenty-one of which were previously unknown, and twenty-five had e\isied without an alphabet; and more than fertythree million* ofcopies have been circulated amongst not less than six hundred millions of people. The errand of these Societies is one ~f peace and good will to men. Hound, indeed, to universal conquest, the triumph of tnc Bible is not that of arras. Unlike the pi-ogress of earthly conquerors, its onward march is heralded by no confused noise of trampling and prancing of horses, no roar of artillery, no clangor of arms, no groans of ihe wounded and dying, no garments of warriors rolled in blood, but it comes noisleesly, winning its way to Ihs bent. fts triumph is the triumph of love. The Bible is the harbinger of civil and social blessings. Its teachings, received and obeyed, bring joy and g adness into the family, the community, the bisly politic. It makes good husbands and wives, parents and children, brothers and sisters. and friends, Kings and subjects. It is ited to all classes—the high and low, the rich id poor, the learned and tbe unlearned, the King on bis throne and the peasant in his cottage. It oomes with blessings to all. Harkness, before it, brightens into day. Civil and religious despotism flee its approach, for it bears upon its pages the rich treasures of civil and religious liberty. It teaches that rulers must bo just, ruling in the fear of God; and the reciprocal duty of obedience to righteous and just laws, upon the part of the ruled. Of its power to bless and renovate, your Majesty has occuhir demonstration in tbe condition of your own people. Scarcely has a generation passed away since the first glimmering of its beams fell upon these Isles, shrouded in the long night of ages.

We are confident that these remarks will be read with interest, and may lead to further discussion : The Great Engine for Good and The Printing Press. Evil.— opperations on the shores of the North Pacific Ocean ? If this question could he decided for a certainty, would it not be well to mark that period, for the satisfaction of printers, and others that may come after us, before the precise time is lost in the distant past ? If you deem this enquiry of interest enough to do it, please start the question in your paper, or otherways. I am led to this enquiry from the fact that I have before me a small piece of printed paper, headed " Lesson 1," which is the third impression ever struck off on the printing press brought out by the American Missionaries in the brig Thaddeus, and was landed at Honolulu in April, IS2O, but was never set up and put into operation until the afternoon of the "th January, 1839; this was in a thatched house standing a few fathoms from the old mission (frame) house. The old press was not unlike the old one used by Benjamin Franklin when he first worked as prentice. His Excellency, Keimoku, with suine other chiefs nnd people, Mr. Loomis, the printer, (who had just completed setting it up) Rev, Hiram Bingham, two American ship-masters and When did it first commence its myself were present. The Key. Hiram Bing- ham and myself, as far as I know and believe, are the only persons now living that wenpresent. Mr. B. requested Mr. Loomis to set up something to start with, which was done, and, after some little instruction as to the working ofthe press, "Keimoku" struck off" the first impression, Mr. Loomis the second ; and having had some care of receiving the press on board the Thaddeus, in Boston, and in delivering at Honolulu, and knowing, in early life, something of the practical working of the printing press, I was allowed the privilege of striking off this third impression, now before me, on the back of which I endorsed the foregoing facts, and enclosed it in a letter to my wife. On overhauling a file of my old letters a few days since, 1 found this " Lesson 1," the record confirming my memory ofthe interesting events of the 7th January, 1822. This impression is on a paper 4x6 inches, headed " Lesson I"—has twelve lines, of five syllables each line, nnd only two letters to each syllable. This was certainly the first action of the press on the Sandwich Islands, and worthy of record for that fact—and, as far as I know, the first motion of the press on any of the shores of the North Pacific. Ocean. The Chineseand Japanese use the block, and not the press in their printing. Did the Spaniards ever use the press on the shores of the North Pacific ? If so, when did they use it, and what did they use it for ? The press may have found its way to Mexico (city) but 'that is far from the shores of the Pacific.

Captain Potter, of Newport, R. 1., was a wealthy and amiable gentleman, whose family consisted of his wife, who was the paltern of virtue, and DM daughter, who, though very young, exhibited the polished beauty of her mother nnd the vivacity of her lather. As he was nuch experienced m the business of a sea captain, he was offered the command of a vessel, which promised great advantage, and with grout reluctance lefl his amiable wife and child, once more to try his fate nil that element whose composure lines t,, ih,.

With these words be departed. Alas! Mrs. Potter whs doomed to drink deep at ihe fountain of woe. After waiting the period of his expected return, she began to gaze with anxiety upon every sail thnl appeared in view, and eagerly sought every opportunity lo learn from public documents some tidings of her absenl husband, or tbe fate of the ship in which he sailed. But all her efforts were ineffectual; ihe only in. formation thai ever could be, or at least ever way obtained mi the subject, was from an English vessel, which ran thust "Mnj 16, 17{)(>. ipoke with the Ranger, from Newport, Cant.

When she saw others blithe, it only reminded her of her own sadness; while others wen- enjoying the reciprocity of conjugal .society, it pointed h'T to the loneliness of her own heart. While other children were happy in the smiles of their parents, her angelic Mary would climb upon her knee, and, with accents thai nnd a mothers heart, inquire if her father would not return. But month after month wasted away; season after season rolled their tiresome wheels along, until fourteen years had been added to the congregated Centura » of the past, yet no tidings came of Capt. P.; no, not even a probable conjecture cm rning the darkmysteries of his fate. Time, that changes all things, had worn away the acutenesi of Mrs. Potter's grief, which whs far more intense than it would have been had she really wept at his grave and known thnt the lust moments of her husband had been soothed by affection.

Here all the Missionaries were collected for a general meeting, which continued eight days. Here we ordained Brother J. Karri and received to the church Tohutete, the first hopeful convert on the Island, and administered the Lord's Supper in a grove of cocoanut trees, people from six nations participating in the ordinance, and many heathen witnessing the scene. In this harbor our anchor-chain parted, while the captain was on shore, but the alarm soon echoed round the bay. and an- interest. ; The spirit of the Lord is obviously moving on the minds uf the people, and the brethren feel encouraged in their work.

For many years the deceased has occupied responsible offices of the Hawaiian Government. He was the bosom friend of the late King, and his constant companion, up to the death of His Majesty. His death occurred on Saturday, July 18th. The time ot tin' funeral has nni been announced. During the brat few days, an epidemic been has generally prevailing throughout our community. It touch resembles the old influenza. Serious fears are expressed that it may prove fatal, in many cases, among the native population. It is particularly severe upon "fast" people, and those of irregular : habits. Donations.—For repairs in Bethel, from Dr. R. W. Wood, $25; from Capt. Milne, $5; Mrs. Cartwright, $5: and Mr. McGregor, for support of Friend, $5. and Sailor's Home, $5. The Chaplain would acknowledge, from Mrs. Dominis, for distribution among seamen, valuable files of the Ijmdon Uhistr.nte/i Nfus \m Stria, Vol. u ! In compliance with an appointment from the Hawaiian Missionary Society, I took passage on the Morning Star, May Ist, for the Marquesas Islands. Our winds were easterly, both north and south of the equator, with but one,or two days' exception, till we reached the islands. Beating our way from within two days' sail of Tahiti, with a strong curmost rent against us, we reached Hivaoa, the Group, the Marquesas northwesterly island of on the :jOth of the month. On the Ist of June, we observed the Monthly Concert of Prayer for Missions, near midway between Nuuhiva, Washington and Adams' Islands. Our collection for Missions amounted to $30 50. Still beating our way, and nearing every island of the group, as we passed it, we reached the east end of Hivaoa on the morning of the 4th of June, thirty-four days from Honolulu. Sailing in sight of the island, and the north side of it, the day previous, we had formed a pretty correct idea of the localities of the brethren, in case they were on the island. But whether either of them, except Br. Bicknell, was there, was all uncertain, and where his locality might be, was only a matter of conjecture. As we neared the first bay to the north of the island, we saw what proved to be two or three houses at the head of the bay, five or six miles distant. The old whale-boat was ne*r �tin; 50 lowered in a rough sea, and manned, and with Naroakeha on board, we rowed lor the shore, while the vessel lay off and on. We soon found our boat leaking rapidly, but a bucket and a sailor's boot, plied to the work of bailing, kept it comparatively free. Whore were we going, and with whom were we to meet, occasioned some |est.s anion,' the sailors, that indicated noMnalldegn f trepidation of mind. Midway to the shore we descried a boat approaching us, lilled with bareheaded, naked, tattooed men. whose visage was wild and uncertain in its indications. Approaching them, I enquired tor Kekela they pointed inland. I enquired tor Mr. Bicknell; they pointed to another valley. Their countenances then appeared to assume a milder aspect, and our men began to gain their assurance. 1 induced the natives to return with us to the shore. Compliance seemed cheerful ; and one of them soon proposed to get into our boat, as theirs was the best manned. As we assented, he plunged into the sea, and was soon in our boat, rowing like a hero. (A naked man. with brawny arms, tattooed on every part, and having only a show ot covering.) We approached the shore—there was a high surf on,—our men ; did not understand beach-combing, as they said;—-and our pilot could not well make US understand how to manage; but he did the best he could, and we got ashore not much wet. Before reaching the shore, we found the buildings seen from the vessel to be the tenements of the Papists; and the priests Wem in front, anxiously waiting to welcome a friend and a vessel, which they had long expected. But as Kekela arrived at tin' beach the moment 1 reached land, the warm embrace, the hearty greeting, the expressive silence that we both maintained for some minutes, surrounded as we were by a hun- dred OT a hundredand fifty natives, mostly children, was a sufficient token for the Papists to retire, which they were not slow to improve. We walked towards Kehela's house, which was in a grove of bread-fruit, cocoa-nut, hao, aoelo and banana trees, quite concealed from view. I soon revealed mv immediate errand, and fuund that arrangements had been made to have a general meeting at llanaahi. on Hivaoa, Mr. Bicknell's location. RTUVEOHNSFATUHIVA. TELVA,OINSDT Soon our preparations were made; we hastened to the boat, and dashed through the surf towards our vessel, now invisible, except her top-mast, in the distance. But the scene which our eyes had beheld—nac strange sfioc.kmg—was before the minds of us all, exet'pt Keke,la, to whom such sights had become familiar. We had taken the natives all at unawares, p.ed so we saw them when least on their giuyri, and most like — w'bemselves — After getting through the surf ji fkm:ni>. lv. isr>7 into com|Kiratively still water, and the boat hailed, all was silent save the splash of the oars, and each one indulged his own train ol reflection. By and by one of the seamen said, "Well, such a Sight as that I never saw before." Another said, "That was worth the dollar I gave al the monthly concert." Another still, "Those who ay that Missionaries have done no good, are fools. I low is it possible thai such men can be civilised ? What can induce a civilised man to live among them " Our hoar went on.and before the sun had set we were all sale on board, and urging our Way to Patuhiva. We now felt thai the mist ol uncertainty, that had hung over us, was being dissipated, and our business was assuming a more tangible form. At the dawn of the ne\l day, we were under the lee of Patuhiva, hoping to reach the nnchoMge before sunrise, laud our car :o, and be on our wav back with Missionaries and freight for Hivaoa before dark. But God hail otherwise determined —sunrise and breakfast came, anil we were not up lo the anchorage. Many Fatuhivans came on board.

So we resolved on .spending our Sabbath at Omoa. On Saturday, the work went on of landing tilings for the station, and taking on the goods for the brethren on Hivaoa. It was well understood that Patuhiva was not to lie forsaken by the Missionaries, as God had not forsaken it. We arranged for meetings in Hawaiian, Patuhivan and the English languages, and for the Lord's Supper. At an early hour, Sabbath morning, the natives bpirnn to come around in considerable numbers. All who had broken away from the kapu system, entered the house and tool, seats, perhaps fifteen in all (libel's, who feared the kapus, sat or stood near the side of the house, which was open to the west in all, forty or fifty. We felt it to he a good occasion. The songs of praise, and words of instruction from the text, "(1011 is love," were listened to by many with much apparent interest. We sat down to the Lord's table, men from six different nations of the a»rth, fifteen in all, and called to mind the dying love of Jesus in his sacred ordinances, while the Morning Star, floating in sight, at the distance* of half a mile, spake unequivocally to many hearts ' : : Savior, "Uu earth, into all the and preach my (lospel ye to every creature," was not being wholly disregarded by His people. The day will long 1)0 remembered by many as a good Sabbath in a land where the people perish for lack of vision. On Monday, a meeting of the chiefs and people was called. 11l lULT OF TMI.'KI'. Vr.AKs' LABOR ON FATIIIIIVA. But before leaving this island, let trie say that after more than three years of labor, sell-denial and suffering, God has obviously acknowledged the labors of his servants on Patuhiva. Schools are now desired, adults and children attend them, and some from the thick mists of darkness are feeling after the light Two have been admitted to the church, one ol' whom they hope has yxme thus early to heaven; L)v> attend public worship, of whom ill are daily attendants at school 12 attend school in another place, bill fear to go to public Worship ; 111 children also attend school ; making ill all 45 attendants at sch,ml. Said Abraliania Nakua to me, more than once, " Do not fad to let us have two teachers at this place; the work of tied has coniuieiiced here, a li';ht has been kindled, and it will never go out; do not forsake us," The truth of his remark was obviou- io me. Said another, "The taboo- an 1 growing old." But I must pass that last command of the risen • along. DRUNKEREVEL. We took' an excursion, one mile inland, to drunken revel, or an awkward attempt to imitate drunkenness. The cocoanut-treos are now being tapped in large numbeis, lo tiie total destruction of thi fruit-buds, to prosee a the sap, which, whether fermented or not, makes an intoxicating drink. It is but cure few months since this evil has been introduced into Patuhiva, where foreigners have the whole credit of teaching it. One of a thousand illustrations this, that the vices of civilization are in advance of Christianity. a GENRM AL EETING. Our General Meeting was commenced, in due form, at Hanaahi, June 12th, 1557, at 3 o'clock, P. M„ and regularly organized by choosing a chairman, scribe and business committee. The meeting was continued through eight successive day.-, at this place, not including the Sabbath ; and was then adjourned to Hanatakuua, and closed with a short session, June 2-'ld. But as much as two days of this time was occupied in sorting out and dividing up supplies, which, it is hoped, in future, may be mainly done in Honolulu. The business transactions of the meeting will be woven in with pther things, as they come along: 1. Voted, To welcome Kaukau and wife, as fellow-laborers, to this Missionary held. 2. Voted.

(In Saturday morning, Voted, That Bro. J. Kaivi be examined .is to his qualifications for the office of a Gospel minister. The examination occupied aboul one hour, and was judged satisfactory by a unanimous vole ; and the afternoon of the next day, Sabbath, was agreed on as the time lor the ordination. ",. Voted, That the Lord's Supper be cc]r. bra ted to-morrow morning. X Voted, That Tolllltele, the chief of |he place, who has for nearly a year given evidence lo Mr. Bicknell of being a converted man, should be examined for admittance to the Second Church of Christ in the Marquesail Islands, viz., tiie Church in Hivaoa. The examination proved satisfactory, and il was voted that he be baptized and received into the church to-morrow, at the time of the communion. Various oilier items of business acled. were trans- CHRISTAN SABBATH. The Sabbath dawned—a beautiful morning. Venus and Jupiter appeared in great splendor over the dark blue hills, and our Morning Star, snugly anchored in the little egg-shaped harbor of Hanaahi, seemed lo vie with those brilliant stars of light, to tell her tale, not of creation's birth, but of a risen Savior's birth. After breakfast and prayers on board, we saw a few persons coming over a mountain-spur, high as the Bali of Nuiiaim, to the place of meeting. At half-past nine o'clock, we were all on shore, assembled under the shadow of the cocoanut-trecs, on a platform of boards, landed the day before, and spread out for the occasion. There we sang hymns of praise in English and Hawaiian, prayed in Hawaiian and Fatuhivan, (Marquesan,) and preached in Hawaiian, which was interpreted into Fatuhivan, (Marquesan,) one hundred or more being present. After (his, Tohutete, having heard our cove. nam, and having consented to il, was baptized by the name of Dainela Tohutete, into the name of the Holy Trinity—no one disapproving; the heathen themselves saying that he was another man, unlike to them and unlike to his former self. After this we sat down tO the table of.(he Lord, seventeen ill number, from six different nations of the earth, sod celebrated the dying hoe of o ur Lord and Savior. There were at the feast two Marquesans, ten Sandwich Islanders, two Americans, one Englishman, one Dane, and one Norwegian. The Master of the feast also condescended to make one in our midst, ami we felt thai it was good lo be there. After this we returned lo the vessel. aii(lnt half-past two o'clock'convened again, nailer the trees, with a larger congregation than in the morning. The usual exercises of the ordination were performed with decency and propriety all were interested some understood, and others did not, the language, which was partly Hawaiian and partly Patuhivan; and the heathen looked on and wondered. A meeting in English followed the ordination, after which we all reiired. Monday, 15th, Was pent in rendu reI ports of labors, Arc. and answering questions put directly to the Missionaries from which questions the following facts were elicited. : ; ; FACTSELICITED. The Missionaries have all been without salt, except a little obtained from a captain, thai remained undissolved in pork barrels. The native Missionaries, men and women, have been barefoot, most of the time, for two years. Mr. Bicknell would have been reduced to the same necessity, had not ('apt. Wing given him four pairs of shoes, ('apt. W. also gave him beef, pork, biscuit, a hatchet and several knives, which were a great relief. The native Missionaries generally have been destitute ot' these articles. Kekela had hut one decent shirt when we ajrived, and Kuuwealoha was wearing a borrowed one. Their clothes, platet, knives and forks, &C., had to a great extent gone to pay for food and the expense of their voyages between Patuhiva and Hivaoa. To the question, By what name should your Mission be called i lic-phj—For the present let it he called "The Mission to the Marquesas Islands." But they said that the name Nuuhira embraced all the islands, as Hawaii does the Sandwich Islands. To the question, By what Question —Do you think it expedient for you to dwell at separate stations ? liiply (unanimous) —Yes, for the present. Question—What are your reasons for this sentiment? Ilrphi —l. Because we are wanted by the people in many more important places than we can occupy separately. ii. Because we have no fear Irom the people in dwelling alone. :!. Because the land is cm up into deep ravine.-, and it is difficult to pass from one lo the other, except by boats. 1. Because the people of one valley are ashamed to be dependent on the chief of another valley for instruction from his teacher and so a jealousy arises, which would generally injure a teacher's influence. .'). Because we fed that these little lights, lit up in the separate valleys, will !><• more likely lo enlighten, in the end, tht whole mass, than it at the present lime ihey are thrown two or move together into one valley. fi. Because the people of Hivaoa are more friendly, and more disposed to receive and treat Missionaries with kindness, than were those of Patuhiva. We therefore have im fear, so long as we follow faithfully our Master's business. The Missionaries, however, earnestly re. quest that each of the four stations may be reinforced by another Missionary the coining year, and that lour new stations on Hivaoa may be taken. OCHILDFRENMISSIONARIES. The Missionaries expressed great solicitude for their children, two of whom are now three years of age, and who speak only the Nuuhivan dialect, as their parents usually do. They do not wish to send them home to be educated in the Hawaiian, hut in the English language. If the children remain with their parents, who must keep open doors, if they would do any good to the Marquesans, till the age of six years, they will suffer irreparable loss. Who will take them, or pay for their education at the islands ? GENRIAL TEMS. tenure do you hold your lands, building spots, &c? Ilipli) —We hold them under the chiefs, who invited us to come and live with them. Most of these chiefs slaked out our lands, and told us that they were lo be ours forever, hut we choose lo !"• regarded as tenant! at will for the present. Question—Would you like to have a part ofyour supplies sent to you in common, and kept in deposit, to he called for as needed ? Rcjtty—No ; let our goods be sent only at the orderof us individually ; but a good boat of eight Ot ten tons, decked over like a raised whale-boat, would be of great use to us in common -nothing else. 1. A letter was read, addressed to the Hawaiian Missionary Society, expressive of the high gratification the Missionaries felt in the visit of the Delegation, embracing a request that another visit of like kind be made them by a Missionary from the Islands, the coining year, 2. Qucstmn—What do you think about the Missionaries that Mill* went after, coining to labor with you ? Resolved, We shall rejoice to sec the Missionaries that Mills went after—viz., tier. Mr. Seymour and Dr. Coxhead—and welcome them into our labors for the Lord.

It deserves to be printed in letters of gold, and the sentiment, embodied in the instructions, given to the commander of every man-of-war, merchant vessel and whale ship sailing from the shores of a Christian nation. Quite too long have those engaged in national, commercial and sea-faring pursuits supposed that they were justified in conducting their enterprises upon any other than 'jospel principles. The golden rule should apply to nations as well as to individuals. The spirit of the command, " go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature," is as plainly addressed lo the commander of a man-of-war or a whale ship, as to any Missionary in Polynesia or China.

DaMOA — Dear Bra.: —I have a few items for the Friend : it von think them worth publishing, they arc at your service During the second week of this month we had twenty ships in qui harbor, all spermwhalers. The first three came in on the 8th and Bth of September—the last four came in the 5th of October. Such ■ fleet makes our harbor look quite like a port of entry, Strong's .\s I have cruised ahoul the beach, and paddled around the harbor, I have frequently remarked upon the well-behaved and orderly deportment of the sailors; but, by the yelling and hooting we heard some nights, when a little iitjnor had been obtained from ships, I was led to suspect we should see a different state of things had there been a few progshops on the beach. Rut some men will mn away. Our rugged mountains and deep giens look inviting to thern. Thev My they are hadlv used. I have known men to run away. who said they were well used. Some have heen trying it from these ships. One hoat left the other night, with some dozen in it. I fear they will find a watery grave. Strone-'s Island is a had place for runaways. Thev can't stay run Quite a number left one ship; some got sick of it, and came ' hack; others had to lie hunted up, and. showing fight, one of them '„ ot badly mauled by the natives—a rih or two broken, and his life endangered. His fellow-sailors thought they must he revenged on such an act of cruelty, so severe threats were made upon the authorities and the inhabitants, in case one or two of those natives were not given up to lie maimed «r murdered. Two houses were burnt; and hut for the prompt and decisive action on the part of the Captains of the different ships, in getting their men on board before dark, there had heen, probably, much sadder results to he recorded ; it is not improbable there would have been some loss of life. We were surprised to hear from some sources the advice to let the natives of themselves, and settle the diffitake culty with the sailors with cold lead—and the means were put in their hands to do it! What were a little handfull of sickly natives against such a posse of excited and revengeful white men ? Allowing the .number of desperadoes to be but verv small, they could excite, and lead tin to atrocious deeds, men who would be shocked >l their doings at the moment of cool reflection, when it would 1x3 loo late to recall their acts, and the vard-arm s\\in? might be the demand of justice for the B\ KRY foolhardi act ! r 53 TIE I KUAN 11. II I. Y. I take great pleasure, in behalf of my people, and of our Mission, to make grateful mention of the noble and judicious course pursued by some of the Captains, for our protection and safety. Some said there was no need of it, for nothing could be done. But discretion is the better part of valor. TWO houses in ashes, would be a sufficient index for most men to rally lor defense. "Oh. it is only a Kanaka house, and poor at that!" Hut the same principle that burns the Kanaka house, would fire the while man's dwelling. In the latter case, a swing from the gallows would he the forfeit. The more I see and learn ol the depredations and outrages practiced upon the poor, defenseless natives, the less I wonder at their occasional cruelties to shippingand to whites. In time eases out of ten, 1 venture lo say it is revenge for previous Wrongs done them, or it is self-defense. Any depredations niav be made upon a poor Kanaka—his cocoanut trees robbed, bis canoe stolen, his house plundered ; and if he asks for redress, he gets a kick, a cull', or a curse—not by every one, 1 am most happy to say, httl by many—far, lar While 100 many of those who visit them. if one of these poor fellows is caught stealing a shirt, or a knife, or a biscuit, the whole ship is down on him, and if he (rets ashom with his head on, and no bones broken, he may consider himself a lucky chap. Why this inequality of justice >. But the great death-blight with US underlies all this. When the first ship of this fall fleet came into the harbor, Mrs. Snow and I were making the tour of the island. Our first news from it was at daybreak the next morning, of men passing us in post-haste, by ordered a chief, to get women to go on board ship! A few Sabbath evenings alter that, a:. some natives took a sailor on hoard ola bark, they saw four native women on hoard ol her. I would these were all; but we have too good evidence that it is far otherwise. lam thankful that I can say it is not so with all. Is it to he wondered at that our people are gone, and the race ruined ? Rather is it a wonder that any are left ! At the rate of diminishing for the last year, ill less than ten years the sod will cover the last of the Kusian race! Who cares? Who weeps for a lost race '. Surely not the destroyers, except it lw> that there is no longer a work of death for them ! And with such fact.-, what shall we hope for in our efforts to elevate and save the native race in the Pacific ? It is time the difficulties were laid open to the Christian world, and the tnie state of things looked at, face to bee. There is " darkness n]w>ri the face of the deep."

The New York Observer, Independent, Times, Tribune, and other papers, devote long columns to the subject. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher thus alludes to Dr. Bellows : " Without doubt, Dr. Bellows will hereafter give his presence. He is too honest a to recommend a course lo Christian men which he will not himself pursue. Selecting suitable armor-bearers—for instance, the Board of Deacons—we presume that our good friend will be found sitting conspicuously in front of the Stage, a terror to evildoors, and a praise to them that do well. Vtors and actresses will peep out from behind the scenes to know whether to give the lull nr the expurgated play ; whether they are to play to the top or to the bottom of the ethical scale. These reformatory visits to the (heater we shall not make. But our information upon the effects of the theater has been gathered from less pleasant methods— from boys made wild and ungovernable; from clerks made untrustworthy ; from apprentices made discontented and idle ; from young men initiated into vice, and men not young fatally tainted or broken down by causes which, in part, were planted or developed and nourished by the theater."—hideman pendent, May 11. Some of our readers may remember that in the May number of the Friend, we made a few editorial remarks upon this subject. The following reply came from some unknown correspondent; and although ordinarily we allow all anonymous correspondence lo pass unnoticed, still, in this instance, we shall give our correspondent's remarks a conspicuous place.

Damon :—On taking hold of the Friend of this date, the first thing that at- tracted my attention was an extract headed " Charlie Backus and the Missionaries." To say that I was surprised upon reading it, would but poorly express my feelings. Having had the misfortune,to become connected with the theatrical profession, probably I am as well posted relative to the doings of Mr. Backus, in this affair, as any person in Honolulu; and I deem it my duty as a man, (all are not such that bear the human form,) to pronounce the said extract one entire tissue of falsehoods; and from my slight acquaintance with Mr. Backus, I feel satisfied that he never made use of (he language attribttied to THE FRIEND, JDL ¥, 1857. him. Let his faults be what they may, Charlie Backus has a generous heart, as several here can testify to, they having been the recipients of his charity; and so far from his leaving California in the capacity of a " supe" to a theatrical company, I will state he left California with a reputation unequalled as a negro performer, and came here with the best band of negro performers ever organized in California, and with bill one theatrical man ill his company. What success he met with here, I am not prepared to state hut, on his return to this place, I was assured that they made a complete failure in Australia, losing all they had, ami were compelled to part with their jewelry to raise means to take them to California,'// route for which they stopped here, and based the Royal Hawaiian Theater for siv. nights, for which they paid SlOO rent. They performed but one night, and had the theater been crowded to density on that occasion, the receipts would not have ; exceeded MOO. After deducting rent, printing, board, and oilier incidental expense-, 1 feel satisfied that Backus' share of the .Missionary funds would have amounted to precisely what it did—"just nothing at all." In your comments you say that it is not your intention to refute the statement. In this I think you err. There are many persons, charitably disposed, who get their information of men and things from the papers; and if an accusation of this kind is allowed to pass unquestioned, it may be productive of much harm to the poor and needy. I have invariably made it a rule to speak of men and maimers as 1 have found them, and I pledge you my word that I have endeavored to procure work, in any honorable form that would afford me a bare subsistence*; and although probably as rrnnd a mechanic as ever landed here, until of late 1 found it impossible to procure a day's work. When I would ask for employment, the Stereotyped answer was, "Oh, you area theatrical, and it would hurt my business to employ you, as the Missionaries detest all connected with the theater." Thus was I, by the inconsistency of human nature, forced to obtain a livelihood by the very means they abhorred. Too proud to beg, too honest to steal, I have wanted the bare necessaries of life. And can you still wonder "how a man that is a man," can adopt the stage as a means of obtaining a livelihood ? Tell your Christian friends, " to err is human, to forgive divine," and when they see a |>orson who is willing to forsake a calling that is despicable in their eyes, not to turn the cold shoulder to him. I have known several actors in my day that are now bright and shining luminaries in the Christian Church at home. Convinced of their errors, they renounced the profession, and mnny happy hours I have enjoyed in their society. But not wishing to intrude too much on your valuable time for the present, 1 bid you adieu, hoping hereafter the •' Plain Dealer" will state plain facts, and nothing extenuate, or set down aught, in "malice."

The Island of Ponape, probably lirsl seen by civilized voyagers by Quirosa in 1595, but first made known by the Russian Admiral Lutke in 1&J8, is in latfl0 55 N., long 15SS •2") E. It is a member of that long range Once called the j\'e\v Phil ippitlo,-, but IIOW known as the Caroline Islands, after the royal consort of Charles 11. of Spain. It is difficult to say when or how the name " Ascension Island " was given it. It is inhabited by about 5000 copper-colored natives, members of a race that is traced to the East India. Islands, and ihat is probably Ihe progenitor of the Polynesian. The American Hoard of foreign Missions established a Mission upon it in 1852; and it has since then become an important resort for American whale ship--, about forty recruiting there each year. No island of this whole ranee, nor even of Micronesia, (which includes the Kino's Mill, Marshall, Caroline and Ladrone Islands,) unless it be Guam, of the Ladrone Archipelago, has yet been made a point for accurate meteorological observations, which will enhance the value of records on Ponape. The following Meteorological Table, deduced by Mrs. Gulick from her daily observations, extended through a period of three years, will speak for itself of the more important topics connected with climate. It is lo be regretted that the want of necessary appliances has rendered these observations much less extensive through the whole field of meteorology, than we would gladly have made then*. And the present is an appropriate opportunity for making the remark, that Missionaries would be glad to serve the cause of science, in an incidental way, much oftencr than they do, particularly in meteorology, could they')c supplied with those instruments that are much too expensive for them generally to procure. May it not, with due modesty, be suggested to those having the custody of such instruments for the cause of science, that it might lie well to entrust her implements to Missionaries to a much greater extent than is done—if, indeed, it is ;.t all done. Why call up6n' them to prepare scientific "bricks" for the master-workmen, without granting the requisite "straw," particularly when they are more than willing to labor to their utmost ability consistent with the slill higher interests they have in keep1 �It is in place to quote B remark made D) tic Key. Mr. Mills, of the Navigator Islands, from an article in the Sainoan litporter, on "Hurricanes in the South Pacific": "Had Colonel Reid, when he furnished, through Lord Palmerston and the American Minister, Air.

Yet, once, during the youth of a few of the very oldest inhabitants now living, a desolating wind swept over the island, so tearing up the bread-fruit trees—the principal reliance for food—that an awful famine ensued, and large numbers died. It would seem possible that this was a cyclone. And il is very interesting that a similar gale produced similar results on Strong's Island, five degree* east of Ponape, and that, too, in the memory of the very oldest inhabitants. May not this have been the very same erratic cyclone that swept Ponape < Of the weather Without being able to give accurate udornetric figures, the observations recorded regarding the general character of the days exhibit the fact that there is much humidity, though nothing excessive. Situated just on the southern confines of the northeast trades, and under the northern edge of the cloud /one that hovers over the equatorial regions between the two trade wind zones of the north and south hemispheres, the island is constantly exposed to precipitations from above. Before the trade winds reach the island, they have made their passage over thousands of miles of ocean, ami have become saturated with moisture ; so that, as soon as they impinge on the central elevations of our island, some of which are 2,5.",8 feet in height, the clouds are arrested and showers fall ; and, as the island is but little more than fifteen miles in diameter, tlicy readily pass over them and water the lee no less than the windward slopes. And again, during the summer, while the trades have receded northwards, we are, ever and anon, shaded by the equatorial clouds, which pour their contents most bounteously; yet we are constantly so near the northern boundery of this zone, that we do not experience its severer, its protracted and unpleasant pouring rains of weeks and months. The humidity is consequently more equably distributed through the year than in most tropic regions ; yet we speak of the summer as the season most rainy, if not as the " rainy season." It must be remarked, however, that the last yea**, 1856, during which the trades were very faint through all their usual months, and were quite intrusive through all the months during which they usually absent themselves, was the most dry remembered by the oldest inhabitants. Of the electric phenomena, I can only report that thunder is rare and lightning still rarer. Thunder was heard only twentyeight days in three years, and lightning seen only eight days. So very seldom does lightning prove destructive, that the natives have never suspected its agency, but attribute the results to a direct visitation from their Am, or Spirits, the only gods they reverence. : �.

Where these peculiar ruins are found, the distance from the land to the encircling reef is not halfa mile. Coral flats, slightly higher than low water mark, occupy the whole space. Sonic of the islets are regular parallelograms, fifty feet and upwards in length others are very irregularly trilateral, quadrilateral, or polylatcral, covering, in some instances, several acres. They are so arranged in relation to each other that canal-like apace! intervene, mi an avenge perhaps twelve feet wide, through which the title ebbs and flows. At the junction ol canals or streets from tlillerent directions, they often widen out to many along the shore. In several of the excessively rocky parts, as on the eastern slopes of the Jckoits Island, large bodies of stone are piled up in every imaginable arrangement, forming long walks, embankments, solid squares, and irregular enclosures. 2. Scattered over every portion of the island, with the possible exception of only the mountainous central peaks, arc walls arranged in squares or parallelograms, sometimes a wall within a wall, and often enclosing a pile of well laid stone, in which a small vault may generally be found. These squares arc of every size, from two or three yards to ten or fifteen rods. The walls are of all heights, sometimes scarcely more than a continuous line of stones, and at times five or six feet high, and in one noted case (that shall lie particularly described in connection with the next class of structures) they arc more than twenty feet in height The materials are principally irregular basaltic rocks, occasionally basaltic prisms intermixed, and oft times coral stones fill up the interstices. In some few instances an outer wall encloses an inner. If the walls be of any height an entrance, four or five feet in width, is almost always to he found very near the center of one of the aides. And when there is a double wall, a passage in the enclosed wall exactly corresponds to that in the outer. In many cases near the center of the enclosed space, rather to the side farthest from the entrance, and sometimes quite in one of the remote corners, an apparently solid square of stones will be found, from three to six feet high, and from twelve to fifteen feet in length and breadth, in which is a rude vault about six feet long, three to six feet broad, anil from three to five feet deep. Long, broad stones from the roof of the vault, and often, immediately before the entrance through the the outer wall, an obsolete opening into the vault will be seen, which has been carefully filled up in a way that shows it was done after the original walls of the vault were built. It is sometimes impossible to find a vault in (his central square, yet not often. An entrance to the vault can usually be effected with comparative ease from the top, though that is most palpably not ihe original intent. Human bones, far advanced in decomposition, arc not (infrequently to be found in these vaults, with ornaments, such as were no doubt once used by the inhabitants, and that are much like (hose still valued by the natives not only of Ponape, hut of most Micronesian islands both to the east and west. 3. In one locality on the eastern shore of Ponape, at the mouth of the Metalaniin harbor, on the coral flats between the encircling reef and land, a number of artificial islets are so arranged over the space of perhaps a square half mile, that the appearance is such as the submerged foundations of a modern city with no superstructures might present. These arc the ruins" first discovered by a sailor named O'Connell, in a small volume cntided his " Adventures," and spoken of in Hale's Keporton Ethnography and Philology, connected with the U. S. Ex. Ex. So much of the irreconcilably and egregiously incorrect is mixed with O'Connell's narrative, not " only regarding the ruins, but concerning ; yards. The unvarying structure of these islets is an outer edging or facing of basaltic rocks, chiefly prisms, while tin- whole enclosed area is filled up with closely parked coral stone, to the level of the top of the basaltic wall, which is one, two, or three feet above high water mark. In hut very few cases is this skeleton of the islets crumbled. On several of the islets there are walls of the same structure as thus'- before described, forming enclosures, both with and without central vaults. This whole assemblage of isk ts is now overgrown with vegetation. Some of the larger islets are occupied by bread fruit and cocoanul tiers; the rest, together with lan;.. portions of the canals, are enshrouded with the mangrove. Till within the memory of tome living in 1862, the whole of this locality was densely populated, with the exception of the most sacred spots, and no mangroves were allowed in intrude. A lew inhabitants are still to be found there. On one ol the islets, named Pankalera, where some of the must Important religious ceremonies of the tribe arc several times a year performed, a sort of paved way, laid with broad stones, some of them having a peculiar central depression, leads to a spot peculiarly sacred, over which a small shod is erected. Near by are several low walls, forming more or less decided squares, at different points of which religious ceremonies are, at stated seasons performed. There are ■even! other sacred islets where ceremonies are at times celebrated, and where low walls or pavements can be .seen li\- thus., who ilarc venture in. In the canals, at several different places, are stones of peculiar shapes, one of which is called a turtle, one an ear nrnimeiit, one a wooden trough, and one an instrument for pounding food, all of which are connected with mythological tales. I will not more particularly notice any of the islets, save that one named Nantoaj, the most singular and astonishing one of the whole number, from the structures erected upon it. It was the structures on this islet alone that were briefly and accurately described by the Rev. Mr. Clark, and for the first time delineated by Mr. J. T. Gulick, in the Friend of Dec. 17, 1852, Honolulu, Sandwich Islands. I copy a description of them, written by Mr. J. T. Gulick, October, 1852, and ultimately laid before the American Geographical Society : " They present a front of 160 feet, and arc over 150 feet in length, from cast to west, occupying a little islet about an acre in exThe foundation platform, which consists of coral stones with a basaltic facing, rises about eight feet above low water mark. On the west side, the walls, which are about 20 feet high, are placed back from the edge of the foundation works, leaving a platform 15 feet wide ; hut on each of the other sides tent. the face of the wall corresponds with the buttress, presenting a perpendicular front 128 feet above the water Except on the front, or western end, the walls are not only overtopped by large trees, but are even buried in the green foliage of ferns and hushes and long hanging vines. They appear (Hike perfect, except in one place on (he north side, where, for the space of a rod or two, the wall has given way on the inside, though the outer face is perfect, ami also on the north side western entrance. A broken place in the platform on the front side affords an easy ascent, and an entrance 15 feet in width opens through the walls to the structures within. " At this place we entered antl spent two hours or more in exploring the vaults, measuring the walls ami securing specimens of the prismatic formations, which are almost the only kind of stone found in the walls. Many of the prisms arc over ten feet in length, having live, six and seven sides— the live-siiled ones being the most abundant. One that we measured was eighteen feet in length ami about two feet in diameter, having six sitles. hi constructing the walls, the Stones of one tier have been laid parallel with the line of the wall, anil those of the next transversely. The smallest prisms were three or lour inches in diameter. "Within the outer bulwarks is another enclosure, with 75 feet front and 95 feet depth. It has a foundation platform of its own, on which its walls ami the main central vault are built This platform ia 8 feet above the main foundation on which the outer walls stand, and „ 100 feet broad by 127, which leaves a walk around the enclosure 20 feet wide on the eastern side, and 12 feet above the platform, which leaves the top but a foot or two lower than that of the outer walls. "The lower part of the outer wall is IS feet thick on the west side, and 11 on the " Other sides; but at a height corresponding with that of the foundation of the inner eniliiMiiv, the wall is narrowed, leaving a walk 8 feet wide around the- inner side. Above this, the walls are 10 feet thick in front, ami 0 on the other sides. Besides the wide entrance on (he west side, there is a little passage about 5 feet wide and 4 high through the wall on the south, and a similar one on the north side. The inner walls are built on the same plan as the outer ones—the lower part being ten feet thick, and the upper but five. They arc however finished differently at the top, for the last two or three courses of stones, jut beyond the face of the wall forming a. cornice about 2 feet wide on the outer side. The entrance is on the west side, directly in front of the first one, and of about the same width. In the center is a pile of stone-work 12 paces square at the bottom, and 8 or 9 feet in height. Two surrounding platforms, each a yard in width, divide the ascent to the top into three steps. The top is about 24 feet square. Within (his structure is a vault; " �and on the west sitlc, directly in front of the gateway, there seems to have once been i door-way leading into it, which i„ now strongly blocked up. A narrow entrance has however been opened at the top through which we descended, and found ourselves in a dark cell 8 feet deep, and 11 by 10 in length ami breadth. The only light that reached us entered through the cracks between the long prisms that are laid across over head. The foreigners told us that coral a once formed a pavement on the floor ■oflone the vtull, hut within 10 or 15 years they have been torn up by captain! searching for relics. They say that in WIS ('apt. Chus. Collin, of the ship Ohio, Nantucket, and Capt E. B. Shimian, of the Marcus, Fairhaven, visited the vaults together, and took from it several human bones of gigantic Si/''. " We entered two other vaults, which were outside of the inner walls in the foundation platform, ami not marked by any building above —one on the north, the other cm the south side. We were told that Air. Dudoit, who is now on the Sandwich Islands, took two silver crucifixes from the vault on the south side. Besides the vaults we entered there is one outside of the inner wall, on the east side. We were told of ten others, but their existence is very problematical." It is only necessary to add to the above description that about the islet, on its seaward, noi'th-easterii, aspects, are several low enclosing walls, one without the other at varying distances, the outermost of which is distant from the islet, perhaps (100 feet, and runs so close to the edge of the Hals that a vessel might almost ride alongside of it. TBI BUILDERS or Tlir.SE STRUCTURES. I unhesitatingly acquiesce in the opinion of the Key. fir. Clark, of the Sandwich Islands, and of Mr. Hale, of the United Slates Exploring Expedition, that none but an uncivilized race ofpeople built thesevarious structures on Ponape. The idea that buccaneers, or Spaniards of any character, erected any part of them is the result of a pure exercise of an undisciplined imagination. It is palpable that the race who built any portion of these structures, built the whole; if Spaniards built any, they built all. And more, if Spaniards built any of these Ponape wonders, they also built all those that are to be found on probably every "high" island of Micronesia those certainly on Kusaia (Ualau, or Strong's Island), on Yap, andeven onTinian. Whatever may be reported in print by Capt. Fisher (as found in tin: Annual of Scientific Discovery ol 1553, quoted from the Vineyard Gazette), and verbally by others, of a splendid 'modern "city" in ruins on Tinian, of the Ladrone Islands, we must, till their reports are very much more fully confirmed, continue to deem those structures nearly allied in character and origin to all that have yet been discovered in Micronesia, evidently the handiwork of a numerous, active, architectural, but uncivilized race. Even D'Urville, in his description of the ruins on Strong's Island, utters not a suspicion that civilised talents were — /. l» (. tN T, 185 7. portion of the centuries they have more or [c a actively navigated these seas. How differenl they would have been from anything we find on Ascension Island, need not more than be alluded to. The silvei crucifixes and Spanish dollars found ill one of the vaults at Nantoaj, with a pair of silver dividers, and a brass cannon, found long since on the south side of the island ; together with the tradition that a boat's crew once landed there with shins (probably coats of mail) BO thick that the only mode of killing them was to pierce their eyes, only prove that Spaniards, or people like them, have been here. It is now three centuries since the Spaniards discovered (iuani. It immediately became their "halfway house" between their South American colonies and East Indian possessions. For more than two centuries they traversed the seas most actively,andQuerosaprobably disCOVi red this very island in 1595. It would have been passing Strange bad none of them ever stranded on this island, mid so brought the few relics found. But again, it seems to me as certain i it it was the ancestors of the present race, as that it was not Spaniards, who built these Ponapean structures. The present, race are fully competent to everything found, and arc most intimately connected with them by traditions and religious customs. Why then multiply causes, when the one most palpable, and immediately before us ia more than sufficient? But it is objected (1), that the present race is not competent —that the inhabitants are too lew. too indolent, and have no capacity or talent for such labors. That they are at present too few and feeble is undoubted. They now number on this island about 5000. Yet three years since there were not far from 10,000; and twenty years since there were probably 20,000 or 25,000; and a century since, it is probable, from traditions, that their numbers were even still greater. They are now divided into live tribes, but it is certain from well-expressed tradition, that this is but a modern division. That they are too indolent is equally true at the present time. But they were not always thus. The depressingand enervating influences of toliacco, and ruin and foreign disease, take the life out of every people, and palpably doing so to this people year by year. There is the most positive evidence that in other departments of labor, the degeneracy of this people is even more marked are most than in that of building with stone. Their canoes and houses, and various utensils of past times if now seen, would scarce be supposed to be formed by the present race. That the present inhabitants have no talent or taste for laying stone is quite a mistake. They lay stone most admirably. The foundations of their houses to this day are of stone. They are of course laid by the eye, yet the angles are square, and the faces plumb when any care is exercised. They are, most emphatically, to this day, a stonelaying people, perhaps even as much so as the inhabitants of Strong's Island, who, at least till very recently, rebuild the walls demanded for their erection. about a chiefs house on the death of any Hut it will be sufficient to confine our at- member of his family. tention to the ruins on Ponape alone. We Two large buildings have been erected on well know the general character of structures this island within three years that serve Spaniards would have erected during any much to correct the notion that this people, 59 TII X ¥Itl X N l>, when much more numerous, and when united iiniler one head, could not have built even the moat enormous of the structures now bund of ancient dates. One was a building 60 feet long, by 40 wide, on a solid stone foundation four feet high, erected by the Nanakin of the Kiti tribe. The other was also a private residence built by the then King of the Mctalanim tribe in the northern limits of his tribe. It has a double foundation ; the first is a solid platform of stone 100 feet by .'lO, and eight feet high. The second foundation is a second solid platform, built on tod of the first, itO feet long, 20 feet wide, and S feet high. The followingextract from Key.Mr. Doane's journal, while natives were engaged in laying a Ponape foundation of his house on Jckoits is testimony exactly to the point. " 1 was not a little interested with the earnestness with which they worked. Surely, if there were fifteen or twenty thousand natives on the island, they could accomplish any piece of work they undertook. The way in which i specially the stones, very large ones, were laid bold of and brought to the place, suggested to my mind a sullicient explanation of the structure of the large ruins on this island. Supposing at some past time the population may have been 20,000, and this large number controlled by religious zeal, and powerful, ambitious chiefs, I think, fr om the way natives to-day took hold of the large stones requiring five or six men to carry one, the work on these ruins can readily be accounted lor. All that is needed is some powerful will to command." Says the Rev. Mr. Sturgess in the Journal of Missions, August, 1856: "Some have supposed these walls were for defence, and that they were the work of a more civilized people than now live here. 1 see no necessity for either, as the whole would seem to be of use in the religious rites of the present natives; and there is nothing about them requiring any more skill than is found among this people. The only wonderful thing is, that so much labor should have been performed without machinery." It is also objected (2), that this people have no knowledge of the builders of these structures, have, no traditions concerning them, and that they have nothing whatever to connect them with the ruins themselves. This objection is founded on as total misapprehensions as the first. They have many a tradition concerning them. They unhesitatingly say the "Ani" built them, and Hale most correctly conjectures that " when the natives say these structures were raised by 'hand,' or 'animau' (spirits), they may be merely referring them to their ancestors, the actual builders." They not only " may be," but most certainly are. It is true that some of their " ani," or spirits, are self-existent; but the great mass, antl those that receive the most immediate worship, are but deceased ancestors, and every person of every age and grade, immediately after death, even before burial, is termed an ani. I will reserve to another paper a detailed notice of some of the most interesting of these traditions. There are not howeveronly traditions connected with these ruins, but a large number, if not all, of the stated religious ceremonies are connected with them, and are performed in or by them.

After visiting Strong's Island, and Ascension, it is somewhat uncertain what her cruise may be, but the probability is, that she will visit llogolen Island, to the westward, and returning, cruise among the Mulgmve Islands, to the eastward—thence visit Strong's Island, and Ascension, take ln-r departure for Honolulu, leaving on Ol about January 1, 1958, and arriving on or about March 1st.

Several native passengers, and among them Love in China.-Meadows'history of the Chinese and their rebellions, lately published in London, is the most philosophic work which has yet appeared on the Chinese.

He trained the boy to worship the gods ami stand up in awe and abhorrence ol the devils, but never mentioned women to him and always descended the mountain alone to buy food. At length, however, the infirmities ofage compelled him to take the young man with him to carry the heavy bag of rice. As they were leaving the market town together, the son evidently stopped short, and pointing to three approaching objects cried— Father what are these thing* I Look' ! look! what are they ?' The lather answered with a peremptory order—'Turn away your head, they are devils!' The son ill some alarm turned away, noticing that the evil things were gazing at him from behind their fans. He walked to the mountain lop in silence, ate no supper, and from that day lost bis appetite ami was afflicted with melancholy. For some time his anxious and puzzled parent could not get no satisfactory answer to his inquiries ; but at length the young man burst out crying with inexplicable pain a printer, employed by the Missionary —'Oh, father, that tallest devil—that tallest Society. devil—father.' ■ . .

While others were shedding tears, and natives wailing because about to part for a season with their teacher, I was happy, experiencing no cares, no sorrows, but stationed myself at the stern of the vessel, where I was soon busily engaged in fishing. I had little idea of what was before me as to what would be my course of life. I have no reason to believe that I then exercised a hopeful faith in Christ, and I went forth with no definite object in view—the general idea that I was "going to America" was the absorbing theme. By the grace of God, my later years have been devoted to preparation for the service of Christ.

Through the artistic skill of Mr. Stangenwald, photographist, of Honolulu, and Mr. Howland, wood engraver, of New York, we present our readers with a most admirable view of the " Home." A comparison of the engraving with the original, abundantly shows artists, in their respective departts, need no commendation from us to make known their ability. We hope seamen will thereby be attracted to make trial of the establishment when discharged from their ships, or ashore on liberty. Since the last season, the house has been thoroughly refitted and improved. The sleeping apartments have been well ventilated, and a large baggage-room built. More than a thousand dollars has been expended in rendering the establishment more complete. Sleeping accommodations have been increased one-half. A large Library has been furnished for the Reading Room. A Book and Tract Depository is sustained by the Bible and Tract Societies. A Shipping Office has been also added, where application from captains, requiring seamen, will be punctually attended to. We will merely add, in conclusion, that the 'trustee?, aided by Mr. and Mrs. Thrum, Managers, have done all in their power, and with the means at their disposal, to render the establishment worthy of the patronage of officers and seamen visiting Honolulu. Now, Mr. Bailor-man, as you look at the " Home," or as you may enjoy its benefits, we desire you will regard it as an honest expression of tin' kindly interest which its tthe . founders and contributors take in your welfare and happiness, in time and eternity. A home may it prove to you while here, and lead you to seek an everlasting home hereafter. bered amongst the advantages of this institution.

The mutineers at once set up a king in the person of the son of the late Mogul Emperor, and we have no certain news of what has transpired since. The most active measures arc of course being taken to suppress this revolt, and it is satisfactory to know, from latest intelligence, that the garrison at Agra and of the neigh- boring stations remain stanch. The Commander-in-Chief is moving down from Umballa with a strong European force, while a cordon of troops of the Gwalior, Bhurtpore, and Putteeallah contingents is being drawn around Delhi, to prevent the escape of the mutineers, who will doubtless meet with a ■needy and righteous retribution. The conduct of some of the native regiments stands out in most pleasing contrast with that of these' scoundrels. Nowhere in India does liner material for an army exist than in Ben- gal, and it has been the vicious system of pampering and coaxing alone that has led to hese lamentable issues. An outbreak has also occurred at Ferozepore, hut we are ignorant as yet of the particulars. It had, however, been suppressed. The opportune return of our European forces from the Golf, enabled us to dispatch without lauding Her Majesty's 64th and 78th Regiments to Calcutta some days ago, and the troop of Madras Horse Artillery, which was waiting here for transports to convey it to Madras. The force left Bombay a week ago by the steamers Assayo and Queen Victoria, and the transports Baby Castle, Avalanche and Kingstown. In addition to these troops the Ist Fuseliers have been dispatched up the Indus, so that the good conduct of our native army, and the perfect confidence we have in its discipline and loyalty, have enabled us to dispatch a force of 4000 Europeans to the Bengal side in the last ten days. .Madras also is readily furnishing its contingent, and within a month the European army of Bengal will be strengthened by an increase of 10,000 or 12,000 men from the other presidencies. An American "Tossing Up" with the Grand Duke Constantlne.—Bayard Taylor relates the following anecdote in a recent letter " Last summer an American, who was on a visit to St. Petersburg, happening to be walking in one of the narrow streets of that capital one muddy day, when he suddenly the Grand Duke Constantlne.

Steam vs. Sailing Vessels.—The impression is becoming settled that steam vessels will ultimately sutiersede sailing vessels, except upon very long voyages. The carrying trade upon the Atlantic is performed, more and more, by steam. The New York shipowners entertain serious fears that their first class clippers*may not find full employment. English steamers are now very extensively engaged in carrying passengers, as will appear from the following statistics, taken from the New York papers Steam vessels from foreign polls, with passengers, lauded at Castle Garden, New York, from January 1, 1856, to July 1, 1857—under the British (lag, 35; Hamburg flag, 11; Belgian flag, 7; United States flag, 2; Bremen flag, 1; French flag, 1 ; total, 57. : French Contracts for Negroes.—The French Government haveentered into a contract with a Marseilles house for the supply of 10,000 Africans to Guadaloupe and Martinique. The contract was, it seems, signed by the French Minisfers of Marine and Finance, on the one part, and MM. Regis, of Marseilles, on the other part, on the l.'lth day of March lasl. It stipulates that the latter nre, within three years, or if possible within less time, to transport 5000 blacks to Guadaloupe, and as many to Martinique, there to work under an engagement for ten years, at the wages of 12 francs 50 centimes a month, out of which each negro so imported has to pay, at the rate of two francs a month, the cost of his trunsport from Africa, which is estimated at 300 francs. MM. Regis undertakes to employ in this service large steam vessels, capable ol containing 800 passengers, and for each adult immigrant, male or female, they are to receive 500 francs, or j£2o sterling. One of these steamers has, we are assured, already sailed. Good Laws for Shipboard.—ln reading Dr. Kane's late work upon Arctic Explorations, we find the following brief summary of the laws to be observed on shipboard : ol our little party belonged to the U. S.

Once upon a time, it matters not how long ago, or where, but once upon a time, we were conversing with a certain Judge, upon the subject of preaching the Gospel. Said the Judge, « If I was a preacher, I should wish to own my own church, and have my salary secured to me, then let the people ioine and hear me preach, and I should be able to lot them know the truth, without fear or favor." Ah, what nice times those would be for preachers ! How unlike the present! Then, what fearless preachers would supply the pulpits of the land ! Seldom, however, has a preacher ever owned his own church, or stood perfectly independent of his people in the way of support. We have beard and read of some few such instances, but they have been exceedingly rare. They have been the exception. Such a system would not work well, Metier send out twelve penniless apostles, to proclaim the Gisjm'l through the Roman Empire, than twelve rich preachers, able to command the resources of an English bishopric ! It may be well to make the Judge an indeptndent, hut not the preacher! Some preachers style themselves independent; but this by no means refers to their pecuniary position. The laborer, we have high authority for asserting, is worthy of his hire! "If we have sown unto you spiritual things," writ.-; St. I'anl to the Corinthians, -is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal tilings " We have been led to indulge in these remarks because many suppose that preachera are not so fearless and independent in the pulpit, as they Would !«• if they Were less dependent upon their people for support. Now, we lake an entirely different view of the matter. It is not the rich parson who preaches with the fearlessness; and faithfulness of I'aulor Peter. Riches never added to a preachers real power. If you would make the preacher bold and out-spoken, give him neither riches nor poverty; but let him feel that he is one with his people. If they are prosperous, let him share in their prosperity ; and if they are called to suffer adversity, then their Pastor will he ready to share their lot. The preacher should not seek the indijHiidrnce rightly conceded to the Judge upon the Bench, but aim to go forth as his Sovereign's ambassador! Then we are ambassadors for Christ; "as though God did beseech you by us, we pray you, in Christ's stead, Be ye reconciled to God."

When he was before the mast, he loved to steal a nap on deck during his watch, especially when it was not his lookout—and many a sweet sleep litis lie enjoyed seated on the body of the windlass, well wrapped in his monkey-jacket, and his head reposing on the bitts.

It was a cold but clear moonlight night, in the month of November, as the ship Mtmdricardo was dashing along, with the wind a-beam, on soundings, offthe entrance to the British Channel. The starboard watch had the lirst watch that night—and Mr. Spunyarn gave the men strict orders to keep a good look-out. But, about seven bells, much to his surprise and indignation, he became This was ail enacted in less time than it ran lie described, and the whole thing was so admirably managed, that poor Doolittle actually believed that he had fallen overboard while asleep on the bowsprit, and lieing a good swimmer, he "struck out" on the deck, as if for dear life, and looked like an overgrown frog trying to swim in a basin of water. He essayed to call for help, but the salt water in his throat prevented, and the coughing, and sputtering, and struggling of the poor fellow was such, that neither the second officer nor Peter Petersen could restrain their risible muscles, but burst out into a laugh which ran:' merrily through the ship, and was the means of bringing Jonathan to his senses—though not before the watch below, as well as the remainder of the watch on deck, roused by the dreadful cry of "a man overboard," hail rushed to the scene of action in time to enjoy the joke. Jonathan Doolittle was cured of sleeping on deck', aud was ever afterwards vigilant when entrusted with the look-out.—Sealers' Magazine.

So long as this debt remained small, and the im|K>rtnnce of building and furnishing the Home seemed BO great, the Chaplain has not felt inclined to make a special appeal for funds. Pleading for money, is something' very undesirable and unpleasant, but absolutely necessary under certain circumstances!

The Chaplain would appeal for, at least, 81000, to carry forward these enterprises. In regard to the importance of these objects, we will not add a word, for both have been for many years before the public. In regard to the economy practiced in managing these objects, it is believed money is not wasted—at any rate, accountbooks are always open to public inspection. It has been suggested that the " hat" should be passed for the Bethel, as is the practice in other parts of the world. The Chaplain would remark, that said practice having never lieen introduced at the Islands, he prefers, at; heretofore, to re| v upon voluntary donations. Having never, in vain, made an appeal for nds to carry forward these and other benevent enterprises, the Chaplain fervently hopes the necessity nnd reasonableness of present appeal will so fafcommend it to c benevolent :nnnnp seamen and l:iiiri«men.

Some two years ago, a young man left his home in Western Pennsylvania, and ere the parents could overtake him, he had shipped on hoard an American whaleship bound to the Pacific. They followed him to New Bedford, but the vessel had sailed. Letters were forwarded. They reached him, and he wrote home. Those parents fondly hoped he would return. When the vessel left Honolulu, a year ago lasi March, it appears be endeavored to make his escape on a board, but the almost certain probability is that he never reached the shore. No farther trace of the unfortunate young man can he ascertained, hut his anxious and afflicted parents, like one of old, almost "refuse to he comforted." Letters an I daguerreotypes have come to hand, ill the hope he might he identified, hut all in vain. We do hope this may prove a sober and solemn warning to seamen never to trifle with a parent's heart, or recklessly endanger their own lives, This young man. however, did one thing that imparts groat comfort to those afflicted parents ke wrote to them. In one letter he spoke of his efforts to instruct his shipmates. What comfort thai ietter now affords to that almost distracted mother. In a letter dated Au<_r 16, she thus refers to the . — circumstances i If you had known that dear boy, you would have all idea of our loss, in one of his letters while on the (lorn/ Return, he says : Mother, I know that you would like to know how I spend my Sabbaths.'

Here is a pledge or promise ol God, that the Jewish people shall not he lost. They are scattered abroad, hut not lost or forgotten. They have wandered among all nations, Inn they do not linda home among the nations. They look to Canaan or Palestine as their home. It would seem that the " Wandering Jew " ever maintained such a position that at any moment he might pull up and "start away" for the promised land I In the countries whither he wanders, he does not manifest a desire to become a land-owner and tiller of the soil, because then he would acquire a fixed habitation and permanent dwelling-place. "The present existence of the Jews," an eloquent writer has beautifully remarked, "is perhaps the chief sign of the times in which we live. Their very being is a miracle. Like their bush on Mount I lurch, they have survived amid the flames of incessant persecution.

A sailor who visited Honolulu a few months since, thus writes us from Madison county, N. V., under date of August 23 : " I came home in the same ship that 1 was in at Honolulu, Young Vlurn.ij. VVc did not touch at Oahu, hut Lahaina, or I should have called and paid yon for the books you gave me. We arrived in New Bedford, April 7th, 1557. I cleared on the voyage $200, so I concluded to stay at home with my Friends, and not go tn sea again, You know something of a sailor's heart ; so now I will come to the ease |n hand. I have thanks (o oiler lor a revival of religion in my heart when I was in Honolulu. The love of (>od, which I hail professed, had grown cold, hut while attending meetings at the Bethel, it was revived." 11 is cheering to learn that there are those among seamen who are steady, saving, and inclined to serious things. Would that the number was greatly increased ! If sailors now visiting Honolulu, squander their hardearned money, associate with the vicious and corrupt, the fault is their own. They have no one (n blame hut themselves, ilow pleasant and gratifying il would he to see all seamen prudently saving tlnir money, to take to their friends, or expending ii in a manner which would contribute to their happiness and respectability. Sailors, think over ibis matter! ASailor's Hope in Christ. Some months ago we met a seafaring man who had weathered many storms, cruised in all seas, and tried in various [daces to obtain happiness, hut at last, after many months of reading and reflection, and no help but his Bible, and good hooks, concluded to seek the Lord as his portion, and take Christ's yoke. This man thus writes us from Callao:— "My dear friend, there are many temptations and trials on hoard ship, bin the Lord holds me up. I shall never he able to thank Him enough lor what He has done for me, for I shudder when I look hack and see what I have been, and wonder the Lord spared me no long. 1 would not one tip my hope in Christ if 1 could lie the King of England, and have all the world under my control, for what should.) he profited to gain the whole world and lose my soul. No! away with all the world, and I will hold fast to my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, for He is my only hope, my Rock and Ily Salvation, and In Him will I trust, and Him only do I desire to serve while I live. That is my prayer •every day." Such a calm and settled purpose to adhere to the right way, bespeaks the power of an inward principle, the very same as that sustaining, animating, and cheering the good of all ages.

ISS Only one Bible on Board. inenec A sailor writing us un account of the death of a native of the Sandwich Islands. incidentally remarks, that only one Bible was found on shipboard "Thursday. Sept., 21.—The sick kanaka died last night, so silent and tranquil whilst I was reading in my hunk, that I was not aware of it until (hey were carrying him Ml deck. It was not expected. He did not appear to sudor much pain In his sickness. He was a little sore in his breast ami hack, and complained of cold just before he died. Ills cheeks were hollow, and his hinlV oiiiaelaled to that of a child's. It was laid on the |r\ works overnight, and ibis morning committed to the sailor's grave. I read (by request of the Captain) part of a chapter of Si. Paul's Epistles on the, resurrection of the dead. There was one Bible on the hark, which yon gave a hoat-stecrvr lasl fall. Mine, which you presented to me two seasons ago, I gave to a young man on the I/iinnset r, supposing that he would require it more than I, and I did not like to ask yon for another." JO We hope no sailor will leave port without buying or allowing us to give him a : Bible. The Little Friend and the Great Independent.— "The Honolulu Friend, a little double-sllCCl newspaper, about the si/c ola even-by-nine jiane of glass, but always one of the mosi welcome of our exchanges, gives an encouraging account of tract distribution in the Sandwich Islands, through the agency of the Hawaiian Tract Society." rr7* We copy the above from a late NewYork Independent, a threat double-sheet newspaper, about the size ofn seven-by-nine counterpane of cotton, but always one of the most welcome of our exchanges, which gives u discouraging account of tract distribution in the Southern States, through the agency ol the American Tract Society. A Promise Well Kept.— Forty years ago mother stood on ihe green hills of \ erinont, holding h\ the righl hand a son sixteen years old, mad with love of tin- sea. And. as she stood by he gate en a sunny morning, she said "Edwin, they tell for I never saw the ocein —that the great temptation of the seaman's life is drink. Promise me, before you quit your mother's hand, that you will never drink." gave her the promise, and went the broad globe over—Calcutta, tie- Mediterranean, San Francisco, the Cape ol Good Hope, the North Pole ami the South —I never sawß glass filled with sparklingliquor that my mother's form by the garden, on tie- »rrcn hill side of Vermont, did not rise before me and to-day, at sixty, my lips are innocent of the taste of liipior." If the young man commencing a seafaring life could be induced to make and keep such a promise, how confidently he might look forward to advancement, promotion, success and wealth. We would especially commend a consideration of this matter, to several young men now in the port of Honolulu, and rifdy. Take a right stand. Touch howl! not, tusic not, the intoxicating Saccess in life depends upon it. f,ook tround, anil heboid the ninny wrecks lying scattered along the reefs of intemperance anil upon ihe shoals of drunkenness! There are seamen mom io the port of Honolulu, before the roai t, and there they itnisl remain, but for the He grading, debasing, ruining and destroying vice of intemperance. Beware,, young man, of the first step in the road to ruin, infamy and .shame. Kindness Rmembered. has never been privilege to meet more than one of the English Missionaries scattered throughout "the Isles of the South," hut We would most cordially thank them, one anil all, for theit —It our oft-repeated .acts of kindness to American seamen avoyagers. The names of Koyle, Bussecott, Thompson, and others, are familiar names in icir hearing, Many a sailor and passenger to and from the United,States,ha had Ins heart cheered and refreshed, and the monotony of a long and tedious voyage relieved, by the kindness of these Mission families. The remembrance of one of lhe.se incidents is thus referred to, in the following extract, copied from a letter dated off Gape Horn, February H>, 1857, lan which has pet come to hand, ll was written by a pai lengei on hoard the ship Lewis. " We stopped at Aitutaki to recruit, where made the acquaintance of Mr. rloyle and Ifamily, ami spent a most agreeable day. On leaving, Mrs. Rovle made me a present of a bag of pin (arrow-root) anil B basket of flowers. To the Captain she gave a pitcher ol milk, We laid In lots ol bananas, pineapple.-, oranges, pumpkins, Sec., and went on our Way rejoicing. I was much pleased with the appearance of the bouses on the island, budl of coral, ami whitewashed inside,andoutside They look substantial and comfortable." a : I I : Assassination of a British Minister.The CallttO correspondent of the Panama Sim-inn!. Herald, under date of August 12, gives ihe following [larticnlars : " News has jusl been sent from Luna that Mr. Sullivan, the British Minister, was assassinated by six Peruvians, li is supposed that he was murdered for the British interference in the matter ofthe Tumbet and l/x>. The Vixen has gone to I'aita in search of Admiral Bruce. "I have just received tbe particulars of the affair: Mr. Sullivan was dining alone, when six men, masked, entered and lired three shots, one of which is fatal, having entered the groin and passed up into Ihe lungs. After the deed was doneone ofthem exclaimed, I am now satisfied.' The steamers Uta/i/n Tumbes are going south to bring back Gen. Castilla, and probably some troops."
