We have received from Capt. Ncwcll the following
interesting account of the mutiny on board tho Alice
Frazicr. Although a long story, it is very interesting, and we prefer to give tho captain's versionrather
than condense.
Bahk Alick Frazikr, )
Ochotsk Sea, Aug. 36, I*o7. j
Ma. Editor,—DsUB .Sir :—I take (lie lilicrty of
ranasstbsg the insertion of the following article in the
.Idvcrlixir, concerning the recent mutiny on board
my ship aad the occidental death of its rlnsjnsrtsr.
from the hoi of many wild mid SSWUSUUSstoriss respecting it having got current BSSOSUJ lb* Heel,—from
the general rapiest of many of my BSOSt respectable
brother masters, ami from the farther and greater
consideration of combating llmillllllliim censure ami
sneers upon my conduct which have emanated from
some few sympathizers with the villains, I had felt
myself called upon to imprison, tad subsequently to
abandon upon the BlSt available shore, both from
fears of murderous injury to my officers sad myself,
ami also from a general reqasst from many of the
unaffected part of my crew.
The circumstances of the case are these :—Among
the seamen I had occasion to ship to my vessel last
February, at the port of Valparaiso, were s gang of
live, past of which wer<' the most finished villains 1
have yet had dealings with. The ringleader of the
livehad him at the head of a gang ofburglars and highway robber* at the port of shipment, for sometime before, and by his own account of himself, confirmed
by his gang on board my ship, had lulledseveral persons by premeditation, and ere his death almost constantly carried a slung-shot of one pound weight, accompanied by a keenly sharpened knife which he
swore to use upun the first available occasion, particularly that it should drink my heart's blood in revenge for an offense 1 a in about to relate in connection with his being smuggled on board my ship. This
person was not shipped to my vessel, either upon the
" articles" or by any other method, but got on board
after this manner lieing told by a perfidious shipping master of the port, one I'elcher, that there was
a nice young man in the calaboose, imprisoned tinili-lil only," 1 requested to see the fellow at the Consul's office in the course of making up my complement
of seaiuen. lie was soon brought, when, immediately upon setting my eyes upon him, I informed the
shipping master I would not have such a persou on
board my ship lit any rate, us his entire physiognomy
wore the undeniable expression of a low-minded,
blood-thirsty villain. This I said in the man's presence and hearing, whereupon he was passed out of
the vestibule of the oliice and S young man brought
forward in his room, who was shipped ia his stead,
though merely as a decoy as it subsequently proved,
for the robber, Harry Sheppard, waseventually smuggled on board in his stead. I had ran off on my
course some thirty-six hours before the fellow made
his appearance, and it was not until several days
after that the great atrocity of the fellow's character
began to develop itself. By his own account, and that
learned of him in course of conversation with the
steward and others, 1 concluded to make the best of
it by retaining him on board and treating him according to the merits of his behavior. We soon learned
that, instead of his having been imprisoned for debt,
ho was under sentence to bo whipped to death except
he could depart out of the country within a limited
time, and that, as a short time previous he had
robbed o store of some $1,700, he had bribed the
said Pelchcr to procure his release after the übove
wise.
Having previously found by experience on a recent
occasion that three of my under 0810611, were but
more apologies for disoiplinarians, not having the
faculty of maintaining the common discipline of a
well-ordered ship with old seamen to deal with, with
not even energy sufficient to free themselves from the
grossest insults, I took early opportunity of requesting them to be very guarded in their dealings with
the new seamen, especially with the man Harry and
bis gang.
It is needless to state the many methods and the
rapid grades by which this gang ofscoundrels paved
the way to open mutiny; among which was the
throwing of an insulting letter into my room by tho
ringleader, keeping a pile of bricks at the forecastle
gangway to cast at out of the officers, when he inter-

no better food. He said he wanted to find out the
author of the letter. Ho then sail, all of you who
are willing to work on such provisions, go on tho
other side of the deck. Out of twenty-eight men, but
four signified their satisfaction with the provisions.
The Captain then ordered the mate, Mr. Chose, to
put the others in irons, but when the irons come on
Mek rouutermonded the order, saying to the men
go forward and attend to your duty, and you shall
"have
the usual provisions." Front this time until
five weeks before getting into the Ochotsk we had no
incision to complain of the provisions.
In the meantime, the fifth mate, who was also cooper
of the ship, was in the habit, as we afterwards found
and listening
out. of creeping forward
at the forecastle bulkhead, aad then going aft to the
Captain and retailing us pure earnest whatever was
siid by the crew. Any one who is familiar with
sailors, is well nvvare that there is a great deal of
What is called "blowing" and "gassing" that goes
on in the forecastle, but which is very harmless in
reality. All these idle tales the fifth mate no doubt
greatly exaggerated while relating them to the
Captain, and the consci|uence was that he again got
very bitter against us. especially five of us who were
old sailors, and knowing more about seamanship than
flic fifth mats, came in for a double share of misrepresentation. The provisions were again cut short, and
nothing but beef and (Tread allowed. On the lOthof
June, one of the men named Carroll, went aft to the
Captain, with the kid or beef tub. and asked the
Captain if we were to have no different food than
that? Captain Newell replied "No, d- u you, you
will get no mure." Carroll made no reply, and went
forward. The crew talked the matter over among
tli selves and agreed together that they would
make no disturbance about it then, butth.it when we
got amongst whales we would not work if we had no
belter food. This was overheard and told the Captain,
with how much of exaggeration I cannot say.
On the afternoon of the same day, Capt. Newell
called two of the men to go down into the sail room,
and take two sacks of potatoes, (of which we still had
a good supply on board) from the steerage into the
lower cabin. When there, the door was shut liehind
them, and the Captain, with a revolver in one hand
and a cutlass in the other, said to the men—" I have
been waiting for you a long time—now, 1 hove
got you, go in irons. You did not have spunk
to say soy more. Either go in irons or take a bullet."
The men without attempting any resistance were then
ironed with their hands behind their backs and then
lashed to a chain cable. The ship at this time was
beating through tho ice. After putting the two men
in irons, the Captain went on deck and hove the ship
to, telling .lames Powers, who was at tho wheel, to
put the helm amidships, and go forward. As he
went by the cabin door, the mate called him in, and
the Captain followed, when they put him in irons
and fasti ned liiin with tho others. As they were
ironing him, Powers said " Captain, why am I put in
irons?" The Captain said,""never mind—go in
irons." On Powers repeating the question, the
Captain struck him with his revolver over the head
and knocked him from tho upper to the lower cabin,
where he was fastened with the others.

lloxoui.c, Nov. 'JO, 18'j7.
Mr. Earroa: in your paper of yesterday's date,
I notice a long letter from Captain Newell of the bark
Alice Frazitr, in which he gives his version of the
circumstances attending the death of one of his men
in the Ochotsk Sea, .and the abandonment, of four
others on the desolate shores of Mercury Bay. ilaving been one of the terrible " mutineers" myself, I
will, with your, permission make a plain statement of
the hots as they occurred.
(In the 27th of March hist, the Alict Procter shipped almost an entire crew at Valparaiso, being the
third crew since leaving home in IS-Vl. V7s shipped
with the plain understanding that we were going on
;i sperm whale voyage,but the day after leaving port,
Capt Newell called all hands aft, and told them
that ho was going to the Ochotsk. On some of the
men remarking that they had not shipped to go
North, he said, " I am going where I please. Do
you do your duty, and I will treat you well and give
you plenty to sat and warm clothing." The latter,
we afterwards ascertained, he had not on board. The
crew however were satisfied with what the Captain
said, ami went cheerfully to work, fitting and overhauling the rigging which was in a bud condition
when we joined her. We were well treated and had
good victuals, until a circumstance occurred which
turned the Captain against us.
Some of the men had borrowed books from the
Captain, which, on being returned, were in a soiled
and damaged condition. The man Henry Sheppard
(whose right name was William Gosh, he having
taken the place on the articles of one Sheppard who
had left) was very fond of having books read to him,
though he could neither read nor write himself. On
this occasion he requested the loan of some books, but
was answered very surlily by ('apt. Newell, that there
were no books for him. lie went forward and got
one of the crew, who is still on board of the ship, to
write a letter to the Captain, which, though impudent,
was not at all threatening, and was more for a
"lark" than anything else. This was thrown into
the cabin window during the dog watch from six to
eight.
The next day at dinner, our usual supply of potatoes was stopped, and on inquiring of the mate for
the reason, we were told it was on account of a letter
abusing the Captain, which had been put into the

REPORT
COfEoxmecuiSotveaHiolnrfm'slS
ue ociety.
Just three years have elapsed since an
American sailor, the son of a Quaker,residing
in New York, deposited the nun of fifty
cents for the purpose of building a Sailors'
Home in Honolulu. This was the first donation for the object, which has since called
forth so many donations and enlisted so much
sympathy. In depositing the money, he remarked, with a tearful eye and much earnestness, do, for mercy's sake, build a. Sailors'
Home in Honolulu, and here is my donation.
He saw and felt the need of such an establishment in this city. Previously there had
been much discussion and fruitless efforts,
but the time had come for action and labor,
which should result in some definite plan of
operation.
Assembled upon the third anniversary of
the organization of the Honolulu Sailors'
"
Home Society," the Executive Committee
would offer the following report relating to
the Society's proceedings during the past
twelve months.

tins establishment nuhei than
places as are furnished for
them elsewhere. The effect however of the
Home in Honolulu, is similar to the effect of
Homes in other cities and ports. The effect
is gradually to elevate the character and rei.pectability ofother hoarding houses. In this
way seamen are benefitted who never visit the
establishment. We could mention houses in
Honolulu quite comfortably fitted up for seamen, but such places did nor exist previous to
the establishment and opening of the Home.
As years roll away we expert to witness a
gradual improvement in all the other houses.
If the keepers of sailor boarding houses had
always done riq-ht and treated seamen as they
should, there would have been no necessity
for calling upon the benevolent public to build
and support " Homes." but as that necessity
does exist.it is gratifying to witness a willingDen on the part of a generousand benevolent
public to come forward and build for the acof seamen "Homes" vicing
th the better class of hotels.

the Board, there has always been great
inimity and cordiality in planning and
SCUting the various schemes deemed neeesy for raising funds and expending the
same. It is confidently believed that the
plans and efforts of the Trustees have met
withthecordial approval of both landsmen and
seamen, it now remains for the Trustees to
appeal for a sufficient amount of funds to pay
off' the debt upon the Home. Our Treasurer
has informed us that tho debt at present, is a
rising $800—an amount which may
try be easily paid off, with a little of the
rt which has already been put forth in this
good cause. It is hoped something may be
done this evening, and more before the shipping season closes.
The Executive Committee feel that they
would be doing injustice to Mr. and Mrs.
Thrum, Managers ol the Home, unless the
most honorable testimony was borne to their
conscientious and honorable fidelity to the
best interests of the institution. To them
belongs the honor of commanding and navigating the " craft," when she was once ready
for sea, and the success of the institution thus
far has essentially depended upon their careful and watchful management.

in general terms, the reasons which lead the respective parties to desire a separation.
Whereupon, the Council unanimously resolved,
that the documents and verbal statements laid before
them were of such a character as to show satisfactorily to their minds that the further continuance of
the relationship now subsisting lietween the parties
could not be productive of good to either pastor or
people, nor tend to the up-building of the cause and
Kingdom of our Lord and Savior ; and that, therefore, the pastoral relation of Mr. Strong to the Fort
Street Church, is, in acconlancc with their mutual
desire, declared to be dissolved.
In coming to this determination, the Council, deeply
sympathizing with both pastor and people, cannot forbear to express their heartfelt regret at being
called upon to put an end to so important a connection, after the lapse of so brief a period from the time
of its formation, and under circumstances of a nature
to call forth feelings of Christian sorrow.
The Council take pleasure in recommending Mr.
Strong to their Christian brethren, wherever he may
be led to sojourn, as an able and evangelical minister of the flospel.

The reasons why these debts had been incurred were fully stated. In view of these
facts, an appeal for $1000 was made.
The following letter, which has been received, will show the impression which has
been made upon some minds, and if others
are similarly impressed, we shall be enabled
to carry forward these enterprises unembarrassed.
Honolulu, October, 1857.
Rev. S. C. Damon— Dear Sir: In the
last number of the Friend, (of September
26th,) we have seen an appeal in behalf of
the Friend and Bethel, in which we notice
Present debt on Bethel,
the sum of $1000 is required to pay debts
which have been incurred for these objects.
We are confident that the expenditures which
have been made, have all been made judiciously, and with no other design than that
of benefiting seamen, that class of men to
■whom not only Honolulu, but also many
other cities, are indebted for their prosperity.
We have long been acquainted with you,
and have seen your unwearied endeavors to
promote their welfare, both spiritually and
temporally—laboring with them both night
and day, visiting them in their afflictions,
comforting the sorrowing, and endeavoring
to lead them in those ways wnich are full of
peace. We would desire, however, in some
more substantial way than that of words, to
express our gratitude to you, and our appreciation of your labors, and we therefore beg
of you to accept from us, in behalf of the
Friend and Bethel, the following subscrip-
tions, and with our best wishes for your happiness, and trusting that you may be long
spared to labor in the field where Providence
has placed you, we remain your devoted
friends,

On motion of A. Bates, Esq., the Society
voted to award a silver cup to the master,
silver medals to the officers, and bronze
medals to the crew of the Hawaiian vessel
taking the most oil next season, according to
licr tonnage.
On leaving the church, there chanced to
lull into our hands a programme, on the back
of which we found the following memorandum "It is amid such scenes as these that
the sailor feels himself a man again."—Signed Taylor." Now Mr. Sailor-man, we welcome you to scenes social, scenes domestic,
scenes holy—and we hope you will always
find a goodly company seeking your good.

A Prudent and Thoughtful Sailor.
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. It is the heaven-bom principle of faith,
the same as sustained a Noah, a Abraham, a
Daniel, and a myriad of God's faithful servants.

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.

the groin and passed up into Ihe lungs. After the deed was doneone ofthem exclaimed,
I am now satisfied.' The steamers Uta/i/n

HONOLULU, KEPTKMHEK M, l« r»7.
Honolulu Sailors' Home.
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.

lery, is said to have blown up the other magzines, himself perishing with them.
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. The
idewalk MM not wide enough for two persons to pass, and the street was deep in filth.
Both stopped, and a moment's awkward pause
ensued. Suddenly the American, taking a
silver rouble from his pocket, shook it in his
closed hands, and cried out
Crown or

Crown ! guessed the Grand Duke.
Your highness has won.' aaid the American,
looking at the rouble, and stepping intasjhc
mud. His cutanea* in saving his dignity,

had gazed sufficiently long upon the same
heading to our sheet, we have procured the
new and beautiful heading which is now
presented. It was designed and engraved by
Mr. George Howland, wood-engraver, 229
Broadway, New York.
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

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.

The Judge and the Preacher.
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."

He was second mate of that ship, and proved

The Seamen's Chaplain desires to call the

When a seafaring man makes a donation

long as this debt remained small, and the

felt inclined to make a special appeal for

very undesirable and unpleasant, but absolutely necessary under certain circumstances!
These are the simple facts, in point:

Thus it appeam that the Friend requires
8503 36, and the Bethel 8579 91, to place
them free from debt. 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

Dkatii ol an Old Kksiukmt.—Advices by the last
mail report the death of our former townsman, Stephen Reynolds. Hi came to Honolulu about the
year ltt'jn, and resided here till 1866. He leaves two
daughters in the United State*, and a son in California. His property ten years since amounted to a
large sum, but owing to bad debts and other causes,
but little remains ut it. He owned, at the time of his
death, a line farm in Massachusetts, and his property here amounts to tour or five thousand dollars.
In California the sum of thirty to forty thousand dollars is due to his estate, hut its recovery is considered questionable. Many of our residents will remember him and his old .store, which stood a little
north of the Sailors' Home, but now torn down. For
mauy years, or from 1830 to 18">0, lie was one of the
most active hnsiness men in Honolulu, and took
much

an embankment for a road everything connected with the whole island,
that I shall but slightly allude to it, though
it has the considerable merit of having been
the first published notice of these structures.
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

" 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

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

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

when much more numerous, and when united

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. As has been already remark-

Sailing of the "Morning Star" for
Micronesia.
This vessel left on the evening of the 7th
in; taut for a trip among the island ol Mn mnesiu. News has already been received from
Kauai, that she touched at Koloa and Waimea, where the natives generously supplied
her with all the fresh recruits she would
need before reaching Strong's Island.
Heforc leaving, religions exercises were
held at the wharf. Prayer was offered in
Hawaiian by the Rev. L. Smith. Remarks
were made by the Ivcv. H. Bingham, jour.,
the substance of which will be found below.
Prayer was oflTerctl in English by Rev. B.
W. Clark—then followed the singing of the
missionary hymn :

into the joy of their Lord. I bid you all a
kind farewell !
It is expected that the Morning Star will
lie absent from seven to eight mouths. 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.
The Rev. 1'. J. Oulick sailed as a delegate
of the Hawaiian Missionary Society. His
son, Capt. (). Ciulick, went as rid mate.

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. A
chapter on love contains the following story:
A Chinese who had been deeply disappointed in marriage ami bad grievously suffered through women in luanv other ways
retired with his infant sou to the peak of a
mountain mn. c in Kwekhoo, to a spot quite
inaccessible to tin' little footed Chinese
women. 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

It will be recollected by our readers, that
the Missionary Packet, Morning Star, left
this port tor the Marquesas Islands. May Ist,
to visit the Missionaries laboring under the
patronage of 'he Hawaiian Missionary Society. The Rev. J. S. Emerson and the Hon.
Mr. Nnmakaha were sent out as Delegates.
The Rev. Mr. Kaukau and wife were sent as
Missionaries, and .1. E. Chamberlain, Esq.,
went as passenger. The vessel returned on
the 11th ilist. The following extracts are
copied from the Rev. J. S. Emerson's report
to the Directors of the H. M. Society, which
was read at a public meeting, gathered at the
Fort Street Church, Sabbath evening, July
12th at which time remarks were also made
by Mr. James IJicknell. who has been laboring', during the last four years, upon the Marquesas Islands.

It becomes our painful duty to announce
tin- death of another of the High duels of
the Sandwich Islands. 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.

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;

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.

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

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

hearts. The wind left us, and our vessel
did not get to anchor till near sunset, and it

possibly sail for Hivaoa. lint to sail away
from a heathen place, and take from them the
only light they enjoy, on the last day of the
week', ilid not suit our views of duty. 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,

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

to me, more than once,

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,

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.

of the ordination were performed with decency and propriety all were interested
some understood, and others did not, the

partly Patuhivan; and the heathen looked
on and wondered. A meeting in English

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 ?

that another visit of like kind be made them

The golden rule should apply to nations as

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

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

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." We need the "spirit of God lo
move upon the face of the waters."

there be Light! "

By late American papers, we learn that
theatrical affairs are freely discussed in consequence of a lecture by Dr. Bellows, a Unitarian clergyman of New York City, who
has come out very warmly in defense of the
Theater. 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. The communication is imbued with an air of despondency that bespeaks anything but an argument in favor of
the theater. Should any theatrical company

Honolulu, May Ist, 1857.
Me. 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 ¥,

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."
Yours, respectfully.

BY L. H. BULKS, M. D.
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. Abbot Lawrence, instructions
to the various consuls for observing the course
ot storms, at the same time forwarded the like
directions to the Missionaries of the various
Societies, I am sure that a large additional
amount of information would have been furnished."

were made from a locality such as would always be SOUghi for a residence, and will

JULY, 185 7.
iiii; iiiinii,
It inn) be remarked that the severer class
of gales are comparatively unknown here.
The typhoons of the China seas, and even of
the seas north of the Ladrones, about the Bonin Islands, almost never extend to this island. 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.

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.

these publications, comprising the larger part
of them, were distributed gratuitously, mostly
among seamen in Honolulu, Lahaina and
Hilo.
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. The work belongs
not merely to us but to all Christendom, and
ought not to be thrown entirely on our hands.

By a Statement in the Friend, of November, 1811,
I supposed tbe Holder Borden was wrecked on an

lost three days of time in looking after it. I can
safely say that Pell's Island does not exist in this

his Society is not altogether unknown to your
jesty. 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.

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

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

Sea Captain's Return.
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

Previous io bis departure, he took ■ gold

it on his own, saying, •• should this not return on the same bund, you may res! assured
that 1 am among the uncoffined dead of die
ocean." 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

Newport, Cant. Potter, muster, in fe degrees

of Mrs. Potter. 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

to alarm.
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

with the propriety and solemnity of the act.

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.

"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 ?
And when Joshua, in prayer to God, said,
stand thou still on Gibeon, and thou
Sun,
"
Moon in the Valley of Ajalon," would it have
honored God in the eyes of an unbelieving
world to have said, like a philosopher, "The.
physical laws of nature are uniform and unalterable ; therefore the idea that the sun
rested in its course is an illusion, unphilosophical and impossible." When Hannah prayed
for an heir to be consecrated to the Lord ;
when Samuel prayed for a storm of thunder
and lightening in the timeof wheat harvest;
when David entreated that God would turn
the counsel of Ahitophel to foolishness;
when Elijah entreated that the heavens might
be shut for three years and six months; when
he again asked that they might be opened,
and the burning eaith refreshed with rain;
when he prayed for fire to fall on the Captain and his fifty, or upon the sacrifice at
Carmel; when Elisha besought the Lord to
smite the Syrian army at Dothan with
blindness; when Hezekiah and Isaiah and
the sackcloth clad elders of Israel fasted,
and wept and prayed that God would save
Jerusalem from the wrath of Sennacherib;
when Hezekiah afterwards prayed that the
shadow might go back ten degrees on the
dial of Ahaz ; when Asa and Jehosophat en*
treated to be delivered from the overwhelming hosts that were arrayed against them;
when Jonah cried to God out of the belly of
hell; when Daniel prayed in the lions' den;
when he wrestled for the return of the captive Jews ; when Shadrach and his companions cried to God in a burning furnace;
when Ezra, encamped with the returning
captives at Ahava, proclaimed a fast and
besought God for protection from the robbers
on the way to Judea, because he had told
the king that the hand of his God was upon
all those for good who sought him, while his
power and his wrath were against all who
forsook him, and while he was ashamed to

island, and during the prevalence of the trade
wind affords good anchorage for vessels of all
chisses. It is exposed only to the north-west
winds, which however rarely blow here ; and
even in the strongest west and north-west gales,
Buaall vessels with good ground tackle can lie
safely under the la* of tho reef, opposite the
mouth of the river. 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. The brig felt their power—rolled up
slowly towards the snore, upon her keel, till her
side came firnilv against the rock, and there instantly stopped hut the immense team moved
on unchecked ; and the mainmast broke and fell
with its shrouds, being taken oil' by the cables
drawn by unaided muscular stri-iurtfi. The hull
instantly rolled back to her former place, and
was considered irrecoverable, The interest of the
scene was much heightened by the fact that a
large man by the name of Kill, who had aserinl'Ml

when the hull began to move, was descending
when the mast broke, and was seen to cniiiednwii
suddenly and simultaneously with it in its fall.
Strong apprehension* were felt on shore that he
was killed amidst the ruins. Numbers hastened
from the shore to the wreck, to sec the effect* of
their pull and to look after Kin. He was found
amusing himself swimming about on the seaward
side iif the wreck, where he hud opportunely

you would consult your peace of mind, you
would discard your gloomy Calvanism and
embrace it." "True," says the plain Christian addressed, " it seems to be very charitable ; but is it true ? Suppose I should trust
in it, is there any way of rectifying my mistake, if in the other world I should find it to
be erroneous ? I feel no disposition to hazard

THE FRIEND,
HONOLULU, APRIL 30, 1857.
"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.

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

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.

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.

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?"

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

conscience was aroused, as it sometimes is,
suddenly and unexpectedly, and always will
be when God sets our sins before us in the
light of His countenance. 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. Ii was as a blast from the
lake burning with fire ami brimstone. Yet
no man interrupted him, for be felt and saw,
from the solemnity of his manner, what an
overwhelming impression there was upon
him, and, though their astonishment deepened
into angry and awful gloom beneath the lurid
glare of bis addrjess, yet they sat spell-bound,
listening and gazing at him, and when he
descended from the table a profound silence
reigned in the whole circle,and not one word
concerning the wager was uttered. 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."
Depths of incivy ciin there bo,
"Mercy
still reserved tto me?
CM my God Hin wrnth forliear,
.Me, the chief of sinners spare?"
She listened. Was it the simple strain of
music that held the soul spell-bound >. or was
it the mere words that fell front their sacred
lips ? She could not tell. 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

heart she obeyed the summons.

The purpose of those chief in authority,

place of the "cat" and the "colt," the kick
and the' curse, to substitute a treatment less

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. In securing so desirable an
object, I have had the warm support of those
in authority whose influence would 1* likely

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

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

conquest, not for discovery, but for the extension ofthe light and love, peaceand good will

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

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.

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
let us live that me may meet, with joy, our
Blessed Master.

A Heroic Woman.—A correspondent furnishes a fact in regard to the noble conduct
of a woman that deserves honorable mention.
The clipper ship Neptune's Car, Capt. Jacob,
Patten, sailed from New York for San Francisco about the 29th of July last. Ths captain on the passage, waa attacked with brain
fever and subsequent blindness. The chief
mate having been deposed from duty previous
to the captain's illness, and the second mate,
being incompetent to navigate the vessel, the
captain's wife, who happened providentially
to be on board, and who had been taught
navigation by her husband, took charge of the
ship, and brought it safely into port.—Boston

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

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 :

We hope to raise a portion of this sum

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.

hearing of his untimely death, passed nuitnble

�It is a source of sincere rejoicing to
every Christian heart, that a degree of seriousness at present prevails among the foreign
population in Honolulu. For several weeks
meetings have been held every evening at
the Methodist chapel. Members of the other
churches participate in this gatherings.
These indications of good will Ih- matter of
devout thanksgiving to every .solar and
serious-minded person who reflects upon the
proneness of man to defer attention to the
must important of all subjects—the salvation
of the soul. It is a time for all most attentively to bring their minds to a thoughtful
consideration of their true condition and
standing as rational, in-countable, and immortal beings. Every reader, we hope, will give
the article in our columns, entitled "Come
and Rest," a careful ami candid perusal.
"Ka Hae Hawaii."—We rejoice to see
this paper improved and enlarged, with a
handsome vignette Indicating the former and
present state of civilization upon the Sandwich Islands. As we have before remarked,
so we still say, tho Hawaiian! are deserving
of a far better newspaper than they have
hitherto bad. We hope those engaged in
publishing the Hoc will meet with ample encouragement to make it a tirst-rate paper.
Book
of
Forms
and
Bookkeeping.—This
is ■ new' hook, in the Hawaiian language,
written by a native, J. \V. 11. Kauwahi, Esq.
It is said to be a most valuable hook. Tinauthor has been at work upon it two and
more years. We ho|x' it will meet with a
rapid sale. This is, we believe, the first book
written and published by a native of the Sandwich Islands. It is a work of 215 pages,
12mo.
Drowned.—Capt. Loper, of the ship Sarah
caf, informs us that his cook, Robert Poul,of Long Island, jumped overlioard and
is drowned on tlie night of the 29th of
irch, while the ship was lying ofT and on
jut twelve miles from Diamond Head. He
no here last fall in tho ship Pampero,
in California, and here shipped on board
l Sarali Sheaf. Tito report is that months
) he gave indications
of insanity—but

Absence from town compels us to
issue our March number on the 31st instead
of the Ist of the month.
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. C Fremont, induces
us to publish the following account of it written by
C:t|it. Geo, Beaton, who was wrecked then- in lite
English whole ship Briton in 1888, and who remained on the island wilh his crew seven months bof.n-i- Boding an opportunity to leave it. The account
will bo found in full in the Hawaiian Spectator for
April 1838, I'tpl. Johnson of the bark J. ('. Fremont thinks that lite island is larger than any published account makes it. ('apt. I'lt-nson'e account
would make it about thirty miles long. ('apt. Johnson says that the southern passage into the lagoon,
though he did nut sound it, is deep enough for a luge
ship to enter and anchor Inside. Instead of 2000
cocoanut trees, there arc now not more titan 206 Boat*
tared over dilferent parts of the island. The J. C.
Fremont was wrecked in the north part of the bayou
the easterly side of the island, where the liritun tad
a number of other vessels hate beta lost in the bust
few years.—/'. ('. .././V, rtiter.
" 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. ('.we hay.- tin- latitude
and longitude of Sandy Island, the s|Kit where he
anchored, which is on the west Ride; he made this
island to li- in l v .">*' N. let and 167" :)8' W. long.
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

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.
Tribute to American Science.—At at
meeting in the Academy of Science at
Paris, a member, while analyzing some bottles of water brought from the Dead sea,
declared that Commander Lynch's expedition
had thrown more light on the climate and
topography of that region than any other,

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

five printing offices. There are six church edifices,

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

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."
