" When he returned to regimental duty, he continued to attend to the religious and moral wants of his company with conscientious care, and assembled them, as opportunity offered, for religious services. Of course tome were displeased with these non-mili' tary' proceedings—as they were called—and various communications adverse to him were made to the Commander-in-Chief, Lord W. Bentinck, and he was described as a straightlaced Saint, a Dissenter, and, withal, a Baptist. Soon after, the adjutancy of the corps became vacant, and Lieutenant Havelock was a candidate for it, and very strenuous efforts were made to prevent his nomination. Mrs. Havelock, who happened to be at Serampore, the regiment being then in the North West, waited on Lord William to solicit the appointment. He said he could not give a reply till the next day. On her calling a second time, he said he had intermediately sent for a«bundle of letters about her husband from Calcutta. They are all hostile to him, but before I read 'them to you I will tell you that I have determined to give the adjutancy to your husband, because he is one of the best officers in Her Majesty's service. I will also show you the reply to these attacks in the return which I ordered, of the state of the company, and I find that there is less drunkenness, less flogging, less imprisonment than in any other;' and then alluding, facetiously, to one of the charges brought against him, said, Go and tell Lieutenant Havelock, with my compliments, that I wish he could make Baptists of the whole army.'" , Bible was not admitted, and the books were uot permitted to contain anything of a religious clmra.-ter. Had they been less fearful of making Christians, they would not have had now to defend themselves against barbarians." , Napier's Opinion of India, 1850.—The army of Bengal, the chief seat of the mutiny, is composed of high caste Brahmins, with their religious dogmas, prejudices and ideas of personal and social superiority. The comparatively tranquil armies of Madras and Bombay are, so to say, of a democratic and less exclusive character. Upon this very subject Sir Charles Napier wrote in 1860:— "The greatest danger in the Indian army is the spirit of caste. In all revolts the Brahmins are the ringleaders." " The system people havehere is to crush the plebeian and to protect the aristocrat who is our mortal enemy. He is our enemy because we take his place; he descends in the social scale, and his head is under our feet. The people if we were to ruin them, are still our friends. On them we must reckon to preserve India.' No one can predict the final result of our conquest; but if we extend our hand to the people, India is ours for centuries to come. Justice, rigorous, severe justice, would work miracles ; it has its basis in the natural desire of men for protection against cruelty, and its foundations are immutable. India would be assured were it thus governed ; but in the the manner we conductourselves there, I am astounded at our keeping it for a single year." In like manner General Jacob denounces the maintenance of caste in the Bengal army, as fomenting mutinous tendencies and bringing in a body of men who care more about their Defense of the India Missionaries. observances of caste prejudices than religious When the mutiny broke out, there were military duty. about their some who were ready to charge the trouble Nena Sahib.—We have read with great upon the missionaries.

That looks as if England were about to do her whole duty to her Empire in the Enst. The Christian principle of that noble, English people has been roused by the discovery of the oft-repeated fact that India has been kept in heathenism by the anti-Christian policy of the Company* and now that the truth has burst upon the public mind, with the roar of the insurrection, the churches of England are rising in their might, demanding an instant change of policy, and preparing to execute on a grand scale the work of evangelizing that benighted land. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel are talking about erecting memorial churches at Delhi and Cawnpore. The Rev. Henry Christopherson, of St. Johns-wood, writes to the London Times to insist that the "memorial" church at Cawnpore should be national, and not erected by an exclusive Society like that for the propagation of the Gospel. The Error in India.—Cardinal Wiseman has been discoursing on India at Salford. On Sunday morning week he made it the theme of a sermon preached at St. John's India." It is necessary that we should read and study past events, and see if we have been governing this nation justly and righteously, as became a Christian people." India's Future. Messrs. Collier and White, the members of Parliament for Plymouth, met their constituents on Monday. The chief topic of observation was, of course, the state of India.

It had been obtained hap-hazard ; it had been used as a digging for the extraction of so much gold ; it had been used to make fortunes, and there had been an immense amount of jobbery and corruption.

Burns being in church one Sunday, and having some difficulty in procuring a seat, a young lady, who perceived him, kindly made room for him in her own pew. The sermon was on the penalties pronounced in the Scriptures upon sinners, and the preacher quoted several passages to enforce his point, to which the lady seemed particularly attentive and somewhat agitated. Burns, on perceiving this, wrote with a pencil on the leaf of a Bible the following lines: youneed not take the hint, " FairNormaid, Idle text pursue i Twas only sinners that he meant.

FEBEUARY 1, 1838 “MORNING STAR.” Just as our paper was going to press, the Morning Star made ils appearance, and we hasten to make a brief report of her successful cruise among the islands of Micronesia. She has been absent about a few days less than six mouths. During her absence she has visited the following islands : Arrived at Strong's Island Sept. 8, and left on the 15th for Ascension, touching at Duperry's. Arrived at Ascension Sept. 23, and there remained 24 days, visiting the different harbors. Left on the 17th, bringing away the wife of Dr. Guliek and children, together with the Rev. Mr. Doane and family. Touching at Duperry's and Mr. Askill's, and reaching Strong's Island the 28th of October, she proceeded to Covel's, or Boston Island, the most southern of the Ralick group, lying N. lat. 4 ° 34, E. long. 168 ° 45—there it was determined to establish a new Mission Station. She then proceeded to Apian, (or Apia or Charlotte's) where another Station was taken, at which the Rev. H. Bingham is located. Remaining a few days at Apian, until a house was fitted up for Mr. Bingham, she then returned to Covel's Island to locate Messrs. Doane and Pierson, with their families. Although reports had been unfavorable, in regard to tho natives of Covel's Island, representing them fierce and treacherous, yet they were found mild, and extremely desirous of having missionaries located among them. While passing through the Ralick group, a new island was discovered, not found as laid down upon any chart. It was less than two miles in circumference, and contained twentythree inhabitants. Its position was N. lat. 8° 15, E. long. 167° 28. The cruise of the Morning Star has been quite successful, and her return a month earlier than was anticipated. We regret that our limits do not allow us to make a more full report. Information Obtained.—In 1851,or seven years ago, we received a letterfrom Mr. J. F. of New Salem, Mass., making enquiry for bi» son, W. F., who had been absent five years. As customary we advertised for the long-lost son. Greatly to our surprise the last mail brought a letter from him, dated " Portland, Oregon Territory." We hope the boy absenting himself thirteen years from home will take the earliest opportunity to return or communicate with his friends. The Day of Humiliation, October 7th. This day was set apart for solemnreligious services, in all the churches of England, on account of the India troubles. Judging from the tenor of the newspapers, the day was kept in a most becoming manner, and worthy of a Christian people. The London Evening Mail, and Weekly Times, of Oct. 7th and 9th, furnishe reports of one hundred and twenty sermons, preached in various churches on that solemn day. The largest assembly gathered at the Crystal Palace, to listen to Kiel 21:27. Read also the Hook of Daniel and Book of Revelation.

In our reading we have met with the following causes assigned for the rising and mutiny of the Sepoys 1. Injurious influence of missionaries. 2. Want of missionary influence. 3.

" If our limits would allow, we might extend this exhibition of important facts in regard to India. Interests are at stake, which lie vastly deeper than those of the East India Company. Politicians and statesmen may have their schemes to accomplish and their ends to promote, but they should remember that God reigns! Bancroft, the historian, has beautifully expressed the correct idea upon this subject : "It is when the hour of conflict is over, that history comes to a right understanding of the strife, and is ready to exclaim " Lo! God is here, and we knew it not.' At the foot of every page in the annals of nations may be written, 'God reigns.' Events, as they pass away, ' proclaim their Original:' and if you will but listen reverently, you may hear the receding centuries, as they roll into the dim distances of departed time, perpetually chanting 'Te Deum Laudamus,' with all the choral voices of the countless congregation nf the i<je." : �13 News from “Isles of the South.” From letters recently received by the French man-of-war, Alcibiade, we learn several interesting items of intelligence.

Protestant Missionaries (English) are making good progress among the natives on the Isle of Pines. They have also gained a permanent footing at Erromango, the spot where Williams was killed, in 1839. Mr. John Barf (sou of the old missionary by that name, at Huahine) has visited England with his family, and returned in the missionary bark John Williams, is about opening a seminary at Tahaa—one of the Society islands—for the purpose of training native pastors. “Music hath Charms to Sooth the savage breast.” During During the late trip of the Morning Star, the fact has been made manifest as noon-day that the dark-minded inhabitants of Polynesia are quick to distinguish between those who traverse ihe ocean burning with lust, and those who go to preach among them the Gospel. Hereafter, when the report is spread abroad that a trading vessel has been seized and the crew cut off, for the credit of white men concerned, an inquiry had better never be instituted, why was it done ? or what was the cause ? We blush for humanity when facts are told us respecting the doings of men from professedly Christian lands. We hope those traversing the ocean will fully understand this fact, that the world is very differently constituted from what it was a few years ago. It now has no dark corners ! The light of public opinion may now be brought to bear upon the remotest spots upon the globe ! News from the remotest parts of the Pacific may, in a few days, be published in the newspapers of London and New York. O, ye, who would make soldiers, scholars, philosophers and scientific men of the heathen, before Christianizing them, we commend to your careful perusal Cardinal Wiseman's remarks, found in another column. Please read what a Catholic considers " the error in India." Protestants think the same —and because they have thought so, some have denounced them as fanatics. The wouldbe-wise men, and political schemers of this world are obliged to learn some truths by terribly dear-bought experience. The infidels and Athiests ofFrance once voted the Sabbath out of existence, and bowed before ,the goddess of Reason, but after they had butchered one another for a few years, a wiser and less infidel generation was glad to allow in theory, at least, that it was best to restore the Sabbath to the people. Thus wrote the poet, and the truth of the sentiment was happily verified during the late cruise of the Morning Star. On approaching a savage island, the inhabitants came off in large numbers singing and chanting their wild songs, and otherwise demonstrating that they were Nature's untutored sons and daughters. The deck of the vessel was filled with natives. While these wild scenes were going forward, Mrs. Snow, Mrs. Bingham and Mrs. Gulick seated on the On the arrival of the Morning Star quarter deck, commenced singing at Covel's Island, inhabited by savages,it was is a happy land, discovered that they had in safe keeping let" There Far, far away," &c. ters for Dr. Pierson, which had been forThe effect was instantaneous and most pleaswarded by whaleship Norman, from Honoing.

CAMPBELL'S RESIDENCE ON OAHU, 1809-1810. [Coutlnucdl During the time I resided with Dsvif, Terremytee, the king's brother, died. His body lay in state for a few days, in the morai; and was afterwards buried, according to custom, in a secret manner. The public mourning that took place on this occasion was of so extraordinary a nature, that, had I not been an eye-witness, I could not have given credit to it. The natives cut off their hair, and went about completely naked. Many of them, particularly the women, disfigured themselves by knocking out their front teeth, and branding their faces with red hot stones, and the small end of calabashes, which they held burning to their faces till a circular mark was produced; whilst, at the same time, a general, I believe I may say an universal, public prostitution of the women took place. The queens and the widow of the deceased alone exempted. When the captain of a ship that lay in the harbor remonstrated with the king upon these disgraceful scenes, he answered that such was the law, and he could not prevent them. About this time an immense water-spout broke in the harbor. It was first observed in the south, about noon. The day was fine, with a clear atmosphere, and nearly calm. When I saw it first, it appeared about the thickness of a ship's mast, reaching from the sea to a heavy dark cloud that hung immediately over it. It approached slowly, the cloud gradually increasing in size. When it came near, we could observe the water ascending in a spiral direction, and the sea round its base boiling up in great agitation. At this time it seemed about the thickness of a hogshead. The tide was fortunately out; and upon crossing the reef, about an hour after its first appearance, the column broke, and such a mass of water fell, that the sea in the harbor was raised at least three feet upon the beach. No squall was experienced, nor did any rain fall. Hundreds of dead fish were picked up upon the reef, and along shore after it broke. I have seen several water-spouts at sea, and one that was nearly on board the ship in which I was, but none of them at all equal in magnitude to this. The natives quitted their houses, and fled with the utmost precipitation in a direction opposite to that in which it approached. I was informed, that a few years before, one had broken on the north side 0 f the island, by which a number of houses were washed away and many people drowned. In the month of November, the king was pleased to grant me about sixty acres of land, situated upon the Wymummee, or Pearlwater, an inlet of the sea about twelve miles to the west of Hanaroora. I immediately removed thither; and it being Macaheite time, during which canoes are tabooed, I was carried on men's shoulders. We passed by foot-paths, winding through an extensive and fertile plain, the whole of which is in the highest state of cultivation. Every stream was carefully embanked, to supply water for the taro beds. Where there was no water, the land was under crops of yams and sweet potatoes. The roads and numerous houses are shaded by cocoa-nut trees, nnd the sides �14 IHE llilLMl. lEBKU..KY. 1858. of the mountains covered with wood to a other people never do it so well as he could is open to the south one-half of the compass, and there being no channel, ships are obliged great height We- halted two or three times, himself.

VOLUX ME V. With the new year, we commence the fiifteenth volume of the Friend. It is the policy of many newspaper-publishers to alter, change, and (if their means will allow) enlarge the dimensions of their sheet, from year to year. Our plan has been to make as few changes as possible, but maintain the even tenor of our ways, furnishing our readers such an amount of useful and entertaining matter, as the state of our finances would allow. With the close of the year we rejoice to find the Friend out of debt! Would that all its readers could say as much! The generous response to our appeal enables us to announce this favorable state of our finances. All contributors have our sincere thanks, and our seafaring readers may rest assured that, in return, we shall scatter our little sheet broadcast over the ocean. Thinking it may not be uninteresting to some of our readers, we propose, during this year, to publish a series of articles upon Hawaiian Tfcse sketches, for the most the history of this people part, will previous to lIR, or the arrival of the missionaries. Since that period the history is full, but prior to that date comparatively little, is known, except what may be learned from the pages of Cook and Vancouver. We commence with " Campbell's residence on Oahu," 1809-1810. This is an old and rare volume, and the copy in our possession is the only one we have ever met with. Extmcts from other writers will appear in successive numbers of our paper. Re-OpoanihguC f ollege. We rejoice to announce that this institution will be again opened on Wednesday, the 13th inst. The return of President Beckwith, and his report, inspire the friends of the institution with the confident assurance that the ultimate success of the enterprise is morally certain. Although the financial difficulties at present existing in the United States, prevented the completion of the endowment, still the way is prepared for its future prosecution. In the mean time, the American Board of Commissioners assume the support of the institution. The new appointment of Mr. Dc Witt Alexander as a Professor in the College, meets with general favor. He is remembered as a promising, youthful student, and, while connected with. Vale College, acquired a most enviable reputation as a young man of ripe scholarship. His arrival' is anticipated by the next California vessel. Every friend of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the cause of learning and education must earnestly wish for the success of Oahu College. Its influence will be electing and ennobling upon our youth and the community. With the close of the year terminates "the engagement of Mr. Bicknell as Colporteur, under the patronage of the Hawaiian Tract Society. At a late meeting of the Society, he read an interesting repot of his labors. Having been brought into close contact with him, in efforts to do good among seamen, it affords us great pleasure to speak of his modest and unwearied labors to benefit his fellow-men. We understand that he is making arrangements to return to Marquesas and resume his self-denying labors among that people, whenever an opportunity occurs. The MjuTn of the Morniim Star, on or before /fie Ist of March, will probably afford the first opportunity. Mr. Bicknell has been publishing h small reading book in the Mar- \m Srits, M 15. quesan dialect, and has now in press the Gospel of John, which will be completed before his departure. "Nothing Venture, Nothing Have”— is an old saying, but occasionally verified in a remarkable manner. We recently saw n fine specimen of this year's crop of sugar from the Lihue plantation. It was beautiful, and the first fruits of a large crop. If ever a company of agriculturists deserved a fine crop as the reward of their labors and expenditure, it is surely the owners of that plantation. When it seemed as if failure was certain, on account of the want of rain, the idea was conceived of irrigation, and that by digging a trench eight or nine miles in length, I over country requiring many angles and curvitures ; but "nothing venture, nothing have" was the only principle that would work. It seemed to be the last hook to hang a hope upon." We are glad the hook did not give way ! The irrigation enterprise has succeeded beyond all expectation. Trre crop noubeing taken off, at present prices, will prove ample remuneration for the thousands expended in trenching. The success of the plantation depends almost entirely upon irrigation. Most heartily we congratulate the proprietors, but especially Messrs. Marshall " &Rfte. . We would call the attention of sailors advertisement respecting a Sailor's Home in San. Francisco. That a " Home " was needed there, is manifest from an account of the treatment of sailors, found in another part of our columns. We have often heaid sailors from San Francisco relate accounts of similar treatment. It is gratifying to lemm that the « Home " in San Francisco is well patronized.

We passed the foot of Mouna-kaa, one of the highest mountains in the world. The sides are extremely steep, and although situated within the tropics, the summit is perpetually covered with snow; a narrow tract of level ground lies between the base of the mountain and the sea, terminating in high ; presenting at a distance a most On a nearer approach, Vwe could observe numerous patches of owj Bated land, and the lower parts of the mountain covered with wood. Farther to the west, the plains are of greater extent, the country well wooded, and in a high state of cultivation; with many villages and houses presenting every appearance of a numerous and industrious population. Mouna-roa, one of the mountains in the interior, is a volcano; a few years before this time a violent eruption took place, when it sent forth a stream of lava which ran into the sea. Isaac Davfc, with whom I afterwards resided, and who had gone in a canoe to witness it, informed me that where the lava joined the sea, the heat was so intense that he could not approach nearer than fifty yards. We did not see any flame or smoke issuing from the crater. We made sail in the evening, and reached • <8J Thk foregoing title-page fully indicates the content* of the book, from which the following paragraphs are copied. The date of the publication, (1819), shows that that volume was printed and circulated prior to the arrival of the first company of missionaries at these islands, in 1820. The book contains much valuable information respecting the condition of the Sandwich Islanders fifty years ago.

Maccallum informed me that it was very fertile ; that provisions were abundant, and much cheaper than at either Owyhee or Wahoo. We weighed on the morning of the 29th, and passing between the islandfcof Morokai and Ranai, reached the harbor ojTlanaroom, on the south side of Wahoo, the same evening. A number of natives came off, as usual, the moment the ship hove in sight. King Tamaahmaah was in a large double canoe; on his coming alongside, he sent his interpreter on board to announce his arrival. The captain immediately went to the gangway to receive his majesty, and shook hands with him when he came upon deck. He was, on this occasion, dressed as a European, in a blue coat and gray pantaloons. Immediately on his coming aboard, the king entered into earnest conversation with the captain. Amongst other questions, he asked whether the ship was English or American. Being informed that she was Russian, he answered " Meitei, meitei," or, very good. A handsome scarlet cloak, edged and ornamented with ermine, was presented to him from the governor .of the Aleutian Islands. After trying it on, he gave it to his attendants to be taken on shore. I never saw him use it afterwards. In other canoes came Tamena, one of his queens, Crymakoo, his brother-in-law, and other chiefs of inferior rank. My appearance attracted the notice, and excited the compassion of the queen; and finding it was my intention to remain upon the islands, she invited me to take up my residence in her house. I gladly availed myself of this offer, at which she expressed much pleasure; it being a great object of ambition amongst the higher ranks to have white people to reside with them. When the ship was brought to anchor, she sent mc ashore in one of her canoes. Captain Hapemeister recommended me at the same time to the notice of the King, by informing him, that I could not only make and repair the sails of his vessels, but also weave the cloth of which they were made. The king assured him that I should be treated with the utmost kindness. It will be seen in the sequel how well he performed his promise. Upon landing I was much struck with the beauty and fertility of the country, so different from the barrenness of the Fox islands. The village of Hanaroora, which consists of several hundred houses, is well shaded with large cocoa-nut trees. The king's residence, built close upon the shore, and surrounded by a pallisade upon the land side, was distinguished by the British tokdfend a battery of sixteen carriage guns, IBknging to his this time lay ship , the Lilly Bird, unrigged in the harbor. This palace consisted merely of a range of huts, viz.: the king's eating-house, his sleeping-house, the queen's house, a store, powder-magazine, and guardhouse, with a few huts for the attendants, all constructed after the fashion of the country. At a short distance were two extensive store-houses, built of stone, which contained the European articles belonging to the king. I was conducted to the house occupied by �the two queens. It consisted of one large apartment, spread with mats; at one end of which the attendants of both sexes slept, and at the other the queens occasionallay slept when the king was in the morai. They and their attendants always eat here, and Tamena wished me to join them ; but as I had been informed by Crymakoo, that if I did so, I should not be allowed to eat with men, I resolved to decline her offer. The Neva remained in the harbor three months, during which time I ate my victuals on board. At the end of that period, having completed a cargo of provisions.consisting of salted pork and dried taroroot, she sailed for Kodiakand Kamschatka. I was then invited by the king to take my meals in his eating-house, and at the same time he desired a young American, of the name of William Moxely, a native ofNorfork in Virginia, who understood thelanguage, to eat along with me, to act as my interperter. The king's mode of life was very simple; he breakfasted at eight, dined at noon, and suppered at sunset. His principal chiefs being always about his person, there were generally twenty or thirty persons present; after being seated upon mats spread on the floor, at dinner a dish of poi, or taro pudding, was set before each of them, which they ate with their fingers, instead of spoons. This fare, with salt fish and consecrated pork from the morai, formed the whole of the repast, no other food being permitted in the king's house. A plate, knife and fork, with boiled potatoes, were, however, always set down before Moxely and me, by his majesty's orders. He concluded his meal by drinking half a glass of rum ; but the bottle was immediately sent away, the liquor being tabooed, or interdicted to his guests. The breakfast and supper consistediC fish and sweet potatoes. to the king's person, to his The house, and even to his food, formed a remarkable contrast to the simplicity of his mode of Iving. Whenever he passed, his subjects were obliged to uncover theirheads and shoulders. The same ceremony took place upon their entering, or even passing his residence; and every house which he entered was ever after honored with the same marks of respect. Once, when employed in the house of Issac Davis, making a loom for the king, I observed him passing, and being ignorant of this custom, requested him to enter and observe my progress ; but he declined doing so, informing me of the consequence. He, therefore, seated himself at the door, till I brought out mywork for his inspection. When his food was carrying from the cooking-house, every person within hearing of the call N.oho, or sit down, given by the bearers, was obliged to uncover himself, and squat down on his bßMis. This ceremav was particularly inconvenient when the water used in the king's house was carried past; there being none of a good quality near Hanaroora, it was necessary to bring it from the mountains, a distance offive miles. The calabash carriers were obliged, when any person appeared in sight, to call out Noho. They, however, ran past as quick as they could, not to detainhis majesty's subjects in so unpleasant an attitude. White people were not required to pay JANUARY, 1855. 3 IRE FRIEND, these honors, though scrupulously exacted from the natives. Tamaahmaah was most attentive in performing the duties of religion, and constantly attended the morai on the taboo days, which took place about four times eachmonth. The ceremonies lasted one day and two nights ; during which time no person was permitted to pass the bounds of the morai. ,^««W When the king was absent on sions, I did not experience the Hn as at other times ; theattendants becaß Jary remiss in providing my dinner, andiwas sometimes obliged to go without it altogether. I accompanied the king once to the morai; but not relishing the confinement, and being unwilling to make complaints, I removed, about the beginning of May, to the house of Isaac Davis, a Welshman, who had been about twenty years upon the island, and remained with him till the king gave me a grant of land about six months afterwards. Mr. Davis arrived at the Sandwich Islands as mate of a small American schooner. The captain, a very young man, having incautiously permitted the natives to go on board, without any restriction, a chief, of the name of Tamahmotoo, observing this, planned her capture. For which purpose a numberof natives, under various pretences, crowded into the vessel, and, upon a signal being given, threw the whole crew, five in number, into the sea. Davis, being an excellent swimmer, laid hold of one of the canoes, from which, however, he was beat off by paddles. He swam to another, where the natives also attempted to beat him off; but being a stout, athletic man, he was able to keep his hold. Having no arms, they attempted to put him to death, by holding him under the water, and beating him with their paddles; and also endeavored to strangle him, by placing his neck across one of the beams of the canoe, and trampling upon him. But by this time the rest of the crew having been, destroyed, and the schooner taken possessidri df, they relented, and ceased to torment him any farther. He was carried ashore blind, and almost lifeless, and it was eighteen months before he recovered his sight. He told me, that, before this time, he had never believed in the existence of God, and had led a very sinful life; that, upon the near prospect of death, the idea of his offencesfilled him with terror; and that he tried to repeat the Lord's Prayer, and felt himself strengthened after doing so. treated with much greater confidence than any of the native chiefs. Davis had extensive grants of land on several of the islands. Upon Wahoo alone he had estates on which were four or five hundred people, who cultivated the land, and paid him a rent in kind. These were exempted from the taxes paid by the other chiefs for their lands; but Davis frequently made the king presents of feather cloaks, and other valuable articles. He was married to a native woman, by whom he had no children. By a former wife he had three, two of whom were left under the charge of Mr. Young of Owhyhee. His house was distinguished from those of the natives only by the addition of a shed in front to keep off the sun; within, it was spread with mats, but had no furniture, except two benches to sit upon. He lived very much like the natives, and had acquired such a taste for poe, that he preferred it to any other food. We had, however, at all timea, abundance of pork, goat's flesh, and mutton, and frequently beef sent by Young from Owhyhee, and in the mornings and evenings we had tea. His wealth, consisting of mats, feathers and cloth, the produce of the island, and a large assortment of European articles, which he had acquired by trading with the ships that touched here ; these were contained in a large storehouse, built of stone, adjoining his dwelling. My first employment was to overhaul the sails of the king's vessels, and to repair such as were out of order. After working two or three months at this, he desired me to make island. These two constantly attached themselves to Tamaahmaah ; and, from their knowledge of fire-arms, proved of essential service in the expeditions in which he conquered Mowee, Morotoi and Wahoo. • They were rewarded, by being raised to the rank of chiefs, and received extensive grants of land.

We have received from Capt. Whiteside, of the whaleahlp Condor, toe fallowing account of the accident which occurred to that vessel during thepast season. The Condor is now undergoing repairs at this port i The ship Condor, commanded by Capt.'Whiteside, was cruising, early in Jum-, among the floating ii-« in the Ocbotak Sea. On theBth of that month, when about 14miles from Sugar Loaf Island, It was discovered that the ship had sprang a leak, and that Uwhold waa fullof water to a lerel witii the lower deck The pumps wen iaunediaativ manned, and sail made for the shelter of Feliitoff harbor, the wind blowing a violent galefrom the northeast. In spite of the utmost exertion the water gained on the pumps, and we found It necessary to bale from bath hatches. In the mean time, we aanartalned that her starboard bow waa badly stove by the ice, aad, by wedging in qullta, an canvas and oakum, the leak waa gradually stopped. At the expiration of IT hours, having gamed the shelterwe sought, we anchored. The craw were unremitting in their exertional and, after 30 hours ofconstant labor, the hold was numciently treed from water to makeit prudent to proceed to Aran, which port we reached In about 8 days. On examination it was (bund that thestarboard bow had been stove for about 7 feet in lengthand S feet In width, which waa repaired by fitting In plank aad nailing heavy boards over all.
