C Damon— Dear Sir: —Among the many noble monuments of private benevolence which our State exhibits, perhaps the noblest is the State Reform School. This institution was established in 1848. Its object was the reformation of juvenile offenders, by taking those who would otherwise be subjected to the degradation of prison discipline, and separating them from vicious influences; teaching them their duty to God and their fellow-beings; preparing them to earn an honest livelihood ; and giving them such an intellectual education as would fit them properly to discharge the common business of life. A wealthy philanthropist, whose name was unknown until his death, who had long seen the necessity for such an institution, having offered to contribute the means for the purchase of the land and the erection of the necessary buildings, the State commenced the work. A beautiful site was selected in the pleasant village of Westboro', on the borders of Chancery Pond, a lovely sheet of water, and commanding a fine view of the country round. A noble building was erected capable of accommodating 300 boys, with the officers. The Police Magistrates were instructed to send to this school boys under 16 years of age, who were convicted of petty crimes, and especially those who seemed to be under no good parental or other discipline, instead of sentencing them to the common prison, which generally made confirmed rogues of them. The experiment was a moat successful one—the boys were placed under a mild, but firm, system of government and discipline, well fed and clothed, well employed and taught, and the beneficial effects were soon plainly perceptible, and, though the State made liberal appropriations for the support of the school, not one-half the boys could be accommodated. In 1850, the Honorable Theodore Lyman died, and it was then ascertained that he was theunknown benefactor and �10 TIE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1859. founder of this noble institution. By his will, he left 850,000, in addition to his former donation of 822,500, to the school. The building was then enlawed to double its former capacity, and now presents a noble front of nearly 400 feet, with a depth of 200 feet, forming a hollow square, which makes the play-ground. The natural beauties of the location are increased by cultivation, and it is one of the most attractive-looking places in the State. A fine farm of 200 acres is attached to the school, where such of the boys who prefer agricultural to mechanical pursuits are employed in working hours. About 600 boys are here fed, clothed, educated and employed, and a large proportion of these carry with them the good habits thus acquired into active life, and become useful men and good citizens, who would, but for its saving influence, have continued depraved and dishonest. Could the means of the commonwealth, or the private charities of the wealthy, be dispensed for a more important or noble purpose ? I visited this flourishing institution a few days since with a party of friends, and was well repaid for the time thus spent. As we approached the edifice by the beautiful road on the borders of the pond, we saw a party of boys in the school uniform enjoying themselves in a sail-bont. On the other side of us another party were at work in the fields. Driving up to tKe principal entrance, we were shown into the reception-room. While waiting here, a police officer came in with a new subject for discipline—a youth of about 12 years—who burst into tears as he parted from his conductor, and followed the chaplain to his new quarters. He evidently felt both home-sick and penitent. Mr. Stan, the Superintendent, soon made his appearance, and under his guidance, we were conducted over the building. I was struck with the perfect order, neatness and apparent system everywhere observable. The dormitories, of which there are two, each containing about 300 beds—the sheets, pillows and counterpanes of sunny whiteness—are well arranged and ventilated. The centers of these large and lofty apartments are occupied by " standee berths," as they are called aboard packets, of three tiers, for the younger boys, the larger ones occupying small rooms, each containing a small iron beadstead, of which there are also three tiers opening out upon a railed iron gallery. These rooms are locked at night, and can be seen from the bed of the teacher, in the center of the apartment. There are eight school-rooms, each containing desks for seventy scholars. The chapel is a very large and neat room, of sufficient capacity to seat all the inmates of the establishment, and the teachers and visitors who come from the village. There are several work-rooms, which are leased to manufacturers ofshoes, chairs, fee., who employ the boys, peying for their labor—one room is devoted to tailoring, and here the clothing of the boys is made up; nearly all the boys appeared cheerful and contented, and all orderly and neat. In one room, the smallest boy were knitting stockings, under the supervision of a good-natured looking damsel, who was patiently explaining to one of them thp mysteries of the art. Here our sympathies, especially those of the fairer and gentler portion of our party, were much excited at the sight of a boy of about eight years, who was sitting in his little chair, with, a newly begun stocking in his hand, sobbing as if his heart was breaking, while the big tears rapidly coursed each other down his woe-begone face ; on enquiry, we learned that he had been sent there that day, and was suffering from home-sickness —that terrible, though not fatal, disease with which children are often afflicted when sent away from home to any school. His offence (which would be a most venial one in the eyes of Hawaiian youth) was an incorrigible propensity for riding or driving horses, which had become so ungovernable that, though often arrested for the offence, he could not resist the temptation of taking possession of any horse or vehicle he saw standing in the street, and having a good ride. This being somewhat inconvient to the owners, especially to physicians, could not be allowed, and all other means having failed, the little jockey was sent to this school, where, under its discipline, he might learn the difference between meum and tuum. If he behaves well he may be rewarded by being put in charge of the school team, which those boys who have deserved the reward, are allowed to drive to the village. An inspection of the dining-room and cooking departments satisfied me that, so far as good living was concerned, the majority of the boys were much better off here than at home. Bread, of snowy whiteness, light and sweet, rice cooked by steam in boilers almost as large as trypots, savory beef and vegetable soup, diffusing a most appetizing odor, gave satisfactory evidence that this was no " Do the boys Hall," but that even the warring apetites of 600 rapidly growing boys, would here be appeased. The laundry department was equally well arranged and conducted. The washing is done by the boys under the direction ofa female "artist," in tubs heated by steam, which is used now in all domestic operations. The building is about being heated by steam and lighted with gas, the works for which are now in progress. The boys are generally sent here for the period of their minority, the trustees however having the right to discharge such as give evidence of thorough reformation, or of binding them out as apprentices. The importance of such an institution as this in a crowded community can hardly be over-estimated. There can be no doubt but that, in the majority of cases, the detection and sentence which has brought the boy un- der its saving influences will prove to be the providential event of his life. A perusal of some of the many letters from boys who have left the school, and those from their parents or employers, will satisfy the most skeptical on this subject. One instance alone that was related to me is worth the whole expense of the establishment. A boy was sent here for robbery, who was an educated English pickpocket, and an adept at his profession. He might have sat for the picture of Dickens' pupil of Fagin in Oliver Twist. He was born and brought up a thief. For a long time after his arrival he seemed incorrigible, and utterly insensible to all good influences around him, giving the officers much trouble, and exerting a pernicious influence over the other boys. But, after his improvement was despaired of, he suddenly determined to reform, and, being a boy of remarkable energy and talent, his progress was wonderfully rapid. He devoted himself to his work and his studies, and won the esteem of all by his good conduct. He has been discharged as fully reformed, and is now laboring to earn money to pay for a college education, employing his evenings in hard study. Though he has repeatedly been offered ample means to complete his education, by gentlemen who have become interested in him, he refuses all pecuniary aid, and is patiently carrying out his noble resolution. That boy will probably become an eminent man, and a most life of virtue and usefulness will be the result of his being sent to this institution, but for which he would, doubtless, have grown up a hardened and desperate villain. The school is divided into four grades— into the third of which each boy is placed on entering. If his conduct is bad, afteradmonition, he is degraded, as a punishment, to the fourth. Il good, he is promoted to the second, and so on to the first. There is also a subdivision of the Ist grade, called the class of " Truth and Honor." These gradesrefer to the moral—not intellectual—standing, and the desire to reach the higher grades, almost renders other punishments unnecessary. Corporeal punishment is only resorted to in the 4th grade, and then only as a last resort. The whole system of government appears to be an admirable one, and the officers of the institution remarkably well-fitted for their duties. The boys become quite interested in the affairs of the establishment—the farm, stock, &c.—and are often trusted to go of errands. Some that were sent there for larcency are trusted to go alone to town, collect and pay bills, and not a single instance of breach of trust has occurred. The example of Massachusetts is being followed by other States of the Union, and in Lancaster a similar institution for girls has �11 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1859. been established, and is supported by this State. Surely no nobler purpose can engage the attention or employ the means of the wealthy, than that of snatching the young of both sexes from the vortex of crime, into which so many are almost involuntary drawn in crowded cities, and bringing them up under influences that shall fit them for lives of virtue and usefulness. Would that more of those Merchant princes in our cities, who have the means, had also the desire to thus render themselves benefactors of mankind. M. [For the Friend.) What Tobacco will do. We know what liquor will do. Its evils are too appalling to be mistaken. But tobacco has its evils. What lam about to relate is painfully true. Early in 1858, Captain Hayden touched here bringing with him some twelveKingsmill natives, whom he had picked up far at sea. They were lost. They had fled from their native island because of war, and were adrift at sea, in nearly a famished condition. As the Captain could not take them home, and as Ebon was the first island he made after taking the boys on board, he landed them here. They were afraid to come ashore—compulsion almost being necessary—for they knew what fate usually await those thus landed—either killed, or at least enslaved. I believe the Captain mads some small presents of pieces of cloth to them, esas they were in a nude state almost, do not know that he gave them any tobacco. But suffice it to say, the natives had been ashore some few weeks, and all they had on save what was necessary to cover the shame of their nakedness, was seized.by the chief, into whose hands they had fallen. But this chief suspected they still had tobacco, and ordered them to give it up. They asserted their poverty. He still accused them—they r'cially repeated their innocence. Enraged at this, he bade some of his people kill the leading ones. Two fell, and one escaped, and wandering a while in the bushes, was rescued by another chief. Illustrative of this same passion so deadening the feelings that, like many others, it leads to so sad deeds, is the fact of a native who accompanied Captain Moore from this island to Honolulu. On the native's return, not only was he stripped of about all the clothing that was given him, but one petty chief accused him of concealing tobacco. He declared his innocence. Enraged, this petty chief was quite disposed to fight and force him to give up the treasure he was accused of concealing. Perhaps it should be said here, the natives of Ebon are by no means inveterate tobacco smokers, but they are loving it, and the passion is growing upon them. And if supplied with all they want, will be as fond of it as its most devoted lover. In view of such painful facts as these, when once made known, it would seem no one visiting this island would give the article either in trade, or as presents, to a single Love in a Whaleship. It has been very common, but fashionable, for the ladies to spend a few weeks at the Springs or the Seaside in the summer season, for the professed object of improving their health, and their dear papas have to lay aside a few hundred dollars for that purpose every year; while at the same time their mamas have quite another object in view iv their going. But, we will not expose them. In August last, a young lady of this city, of the writer's acquaintance, visited New London, with, no doubt, the desirable object of regaling herself, and enjoying the seabreeze. The time of her proposed absence passed rapidly, and was, no doubt, agreeably spent, yet no tidings were received from her by her friends, until she appeared in person, , of the ship , gallanted by Captain engaged in the whaling service. The Captain is a fine-looking man, affable and desirable company to ak appearances. I will not give the parties names, for I do not wish to be personal. The writer had a curiosity to learn how things had progressed with our fair one, and how she became acquainted with the gallant Captain. And with much impudence I arrived at the following facts, picking up a little here and a little there, until I got the whole story as I suppose. At one time the young lady said—" One evening I received an invitation to attend the She is a very agreeparty of Mrs. W-, able woman, and gave a good party, and I had a pleasant time that evening. 1 had not been there but a few minutes when Captain was introduced. He appeared to be a gentleman in every particular, and proved himself to be an excellent and attentive friend. He invited us all to visit his ship. The next day, in company with his sister, I went on board. It was a new ship, and everything looked clean and tidy. It appeared like a floating palace to ply between Europe and this country in the merchant's service, as I thought. I heard the Captain say at the party, that he would be happy to give any of his friends a passage in his ship. " Well, I thought that I should like to take a trip in her, and visit the Continent, for you know it might improve my health. I must have made some remark during my playful conversation, for the Captain kept me laughing so much that 1 hardly know what I did say. "The next evening again, I found myself and the Captain, and his sister, at the teatable of Mrs. W The next day the Captain had to go to New York on business, and his sister invited me to go with them, and we all three stopped at the St. Nicolas, and we had such a delightful time. O! such amusements." " Well, I do not care, the Captain is a good man." days we returned to New Lon" Inanda few don, one afternoon I again visited the ship, and, being weary, set myself down in the cabin with the Captain. The rest of our company being on deck, the Captain asked me if I would like to take a trip in his ship. I replied that I should if I could have pleasant and agreeable company. The Captain asked me if I did not think he was such. I blushed, and it was reflected on the Captain's face. . . Not a word was said for five minutes, and until he requested an answer. I told him I would give him an answer at Hartford in a few days. " I thought it all over, and come to the conclusion that a trip to England and the Continent would greatly improve my health, and I told the Captain so, in snch a way that he understood it. made preparations for a tour, and one " II asked the Captain how long it would day take him to make a voyage. He said, 'if he had good luck, about two years and a half, for whales are not so easy to be found.' " What, are you engaged in the whaling business." replied the Captain. " Yes," "O, horrid!" said she, " I'll never go in a greasy ship." She refused to see the Captain any more, but, in about ten days afterwards, she received a beautiful box containing the Captain's card and the card of his lady and some wedding cake. He married a very pretty German girl, who had not such a horror of grease.—Hartford Post. The Abundance or the Sea. A tall, noble-looking sea captain arose in the meeting. He said he was from a seaport town in Massachusetts, and away in his distant home we could not well conceive the joy that it gave him to sit by his own fireside, surrounded by his own family, and read the reports of the good work which is going forward in New York and other places. No Christian can read these reports and not have his soul stirred within him ; none could read without praying more, and without trusting in God more; none could read and not feel his soul filled with adoration and wonder at the riches of God's grace in the salvation of thousands on the land and on tho sea. Almost forty years of his life he said he had spent at sea, and his great desire was to see the abundance of the sea converted to Christ. One thing had struck him as a marked feature in this revival. It was the concern everywhere felt for seamen. Wherever he went it was the same. The same in Boston, and New York, and Philadelphia, and Charleston, and New Orleans. Never had there been a revival when so much had been done for the sailor, or when so many men of tha sea had been converted. It is a mistake that seamen are a hardened race. They are not Gospel-hardened as your landsmen are. Speak to them with your heart in your words, and you will find them ready to hear, and very susceptible to religious impressions. They can be easily overcome with kindness. There are no men on the face of the earth that make such good missionaries as the sailors—the men of the sea. He said he was glad to get into a meeting where the voices of seamen had been so often heard, as in the Fulton street prayer-meeting. He related several instances of conviction and conversion among seamen, and spoke of the good which was being accomplished through their instrumentality. Seamen, when converted, make whole-hearted Christians. How short would be the world's conversion, if all our seamen were pious, demoted, exemplary men.—N. Y.

Mr. Doane, upon the Mulgrave Islands, and the condition of things upon Ebon, the island now occupied by Messrs. Pierson and Doane. Rev. A. A. Sturges thus writes, under date of Oct. 2d, 1858, at Ronakiti, Ascension : —" We were right glad to see the Morning Star again dawning upon our little island world, it brings us many joyous mementoes of affection from afar over the sea ; how much good these little leaves, breathing love, do us !

Bingham thus writes, under date, Morning Star, off Strong's Island, Aug. 6, 1858:—"In April last, Konoa and myself took a careful census of our island, and ascertained the population to amount to 3,217. From such sources as I have been able to draw, 1 think it safe to estimate the population of the Kingsmill group at 40,000. Surely we have a large field when compared with other portions of Micronesia. During a residence of seven and a half months on Apian, we have seen only a few vessels—four exclusive of the Morning Star,'' Sec., Sec. Rev. Geo. Piekson, of Ebon, thus writes, under date of Dec. 13, 1858: whale ship from Strong's Island. We left our wires and children alone in charge of the bonnes, &c. The captain knew this, and vet when he sent his boat asbore the next day, he had it armed, to prevent Its being attacked by the savages. They landed on our beach, and when the mate came up to our bouses, a few steps from the beach, he was attended by an armed man ns a body guard; and as he walked about over our premises (for neither he or any of the crew went out of sight of our houses) he had a man walk along just ahead of him displaying a large horse-pistol, to keep the natives at bay, and they expressed haste to get back to the vessel. The natives were highly indignant at this want of confidence in them, thinking that the fact of our residing here in safety ten months should be testimony enough as to the safety of life on the inland, at least for a visit of a few minutes ashore." We have also to acknowledge letters from Rev. Messrs. Snow and Gulick. It affords us much delight to read these communications (one of which amounts to 20 pages) from the Micronesian missionaries. There is an air of buoyant and hopeful Christian cheerfulness running through all their letters. They are happy in their toilsome and selfdenying work. We sympathize with them in their "lonely, but not lonesome, position." In our next number we shall furnish our readers with additional extracts. In acknowledging, per Morning Star, a box containing sprouted cocoanuts from Dr. Pieison, at Ebon, we would express our great delight in witnessing the interchange of seeds, plants and slips which is now being carried on between the lovers of botany and science, on the Sandwich Islands and others residing in Micronesia and Marquesas.

Finishing our workhere, we left for Ebon on the 13th Dec., and arrived neat morning ; the trades blowing very strong, with very squally and rainy weather, we could not enter the lagoon, aa there la only one channel, which is vary small,and upon the B.W. part of the group. We left Ebon on the 19th—touched at JVavarlk on'the nth. Had an Interviewwith Iv chief—a fine fellow I aaw at Ebon at our former visit—made him some presenU, and left In half-anhour. Sunday morning the 19th, was surprised at seeing land very near ahead, as none Is shown In my charts In that place -, on coming up with It, found it to be a group of 14 Islands, encircling three sides of a beautllul lagoon, the western part being protected by a reef with a small channel. A canoe came off having two men on board ; I gave them aome presenU, asked the name of thegroup, which la Lai or Rat, and left this little gem, the lagoon of which la about four miles across, and lies In north latitude 00, and east longitude l«o° 29. The canoe brought off aome very fine breadfruit and cocoanuta. Continuing our course, we passed over the assigned position of BcanU Island, In the night, with a bright full moon, and a sharp lookout, but nothing was seen. Next day came up with an island named by the charts Eschscholu Island i at noon we were close In shore, in lat. 11 Silt., long. IM 37 E. oonld see twelve islands lying In east and west directions. We being about the center, stood for a channel three miles In width, between two islands; on getting near, we could see the bottom stretching across—sent a boat to sound, found 11 fathoms, and sailed over, seeing very distinctly tho various colored corals comprising the reef under our koel as we dashed along. After passing this bar, foundourselves in smooth water ; soon after, aaw land in the N.W., and also in iV.E., also a shoal with 10 —thorns water over It—of course I was now convinced that we had entered a spacious lagoon. I counted from aloft 14 la—nds, and the lagoon must Ie twenty miles across at least. We tacked and Stood out, speaking a canoe on our way, with a chief on board, who In—fined us that the name of the group was Big—l. We cleared tbe western extremity at sunset, which is a circular reef. Tola part is vary dangerous, aa all tbe adjoining islets are small and vary low, aome of them having only a few bushes. I noticed on* peculiarity In this group, thebars between the islandsand shoals inside are mora sunken than any we have seen heretofore, with several deep channels Into the lagoon. Tbe canoe followed aa for aome time after we had left tbe lagoon, and only gam ap tha chaae when we made al) sailaway from them. They were extremely anxious to get on board,and I vary much lagiitua that time and the state ofthe weather would not admit of a 111011 stay. They are a very fine race ofpeople.

C. Damon Dear Sir:— Although you will douhtless t-f made acquainted with the movement- of the Morning Star from other sources, yet I will give you a sketch in my own way. We arrived at Apian after a pleasant passage of 15 tiny-, ami found Mr. antl Mrs. Bingham In good health, and prospering In their work. We spent a pleasant Sabbath with them, and heard Mr. ft. preach to 150 natives, assembled as usual in a large council bouse. Leaving Apian ou the 19th July, with Mr. and Mrs. Bingham on board, we run over to Tarawa, only five miles from Apian, and spent two days in examining it. Welanded, and had a talkwith the chiefs, who seemed anxious to have missionaries stop with them at once. Leaving, we arrived at Khon on the 25th, finding Rev. Messrs. Piersnn and Doane, with their families, in good health and in great favor with the chiefs and people. Dr. Pierson preached to a housefullSabbath morning at his own residence, and Mr. Doane on board the Morning Star In the afternoon. Taking Dr. P. antl family on hoard, we sailed for Strong's Island Aug. 2d, where we arrived on the 7th. Rev. Mr. Snow and family also we found In good health. Here Mrs. Bingham's health, which for several days had been giving way, failed entirely, and she was removed to Dove Island, Mr. Snow's residence, and a course of typhoid fever followed, prostrating her to a very low state, and fears were entertained that the mission might be deprived of the services of this excellent and devoted lady; but the Lord haa kept her for his work among the people, to whom sheis very strongly attached. The original Intention had been to assemble at Ascension for General Meeting; now. however, It was arranged that Mr. Snow should at once proceed to Ascension Island, proposing to Messrs. Oulick and Sturges to attend at Strong's Island. One strong consideration was to receive the aid of Dr. Oulick In Mrs. B.s case. In addition to that of Dr. Pierson—accordingly we sailed Aug. 11, with Mr. Snow, Mr. Roberts, Mrs. Oulick and family, nnd Mr. Mahoeand wife on board,and arrived at that island on the 18th. finding all well. On the 22d, we left for Strong's Island, arriving back on the 27th. Mrs. B. we found still quite low. General Meeting over, we sailed again for Ascension Sept. 8, touching at McAklll's and Wellington Islands, reaching our port on the 18th—the fourth day after making the island, having calm and unfavorabe winds. Leaving Mr. and Mrs. Roberts at Ascension, we sailed Oot. 6, andarrived the third time at Strong's Island on the 12th. Pound Mrs. Bingham in perfect health, and thatDr. Pierson, with his family, had left for Ebon In the Roscoe. Taking Mr. and Mrs. Bingham on board, we sailed on the 15th forEbon, arriving at that place on the 23d, sailing into the lagoon with a fair wind .md, finding all well, we left on the 28th for Apian, taking Mr. Doane on board. Arrived at Apian Nov. 0. On the 13th,sailed for the Mulgrave Islands, where we arrived the evening ofthe 17th—stood close In shore—at 10 P.M., with _, bright moon, having fine weather, we lay by so near the inowwhite beach that we could hear the shouts of the natives, and even distinctly hear them talking with each other. Tires were lighted, and soon a large canoe was seen sailing toward us. She came alongside, and two men came on board, staying till about midnight, whan we vent them on shore telling them to come off in the morning, which they tailed not to do. We found a fine *hip-rhannel on the north shore of thegroup, and entered the beautiful lagoon in a fresh gale nnd squally weather, on Sunday, Nov. 21, and, after shying about among the coral reefs, 1 discovered from aloft a small cove under a beautiful Island,called by the natives Chabbunwunl. We ran in between the outer reefs and came to anchor, finding it a fine and secure place, which 1 have named Kttrmß Covit. We were all very glad to avail ourselves of its shelter after knocking about outside for several days and nights in stormy weather. Natives soon came off, but, on being told It was Sunday, and desired to return to shore, they readily complied. The average height of the islands of this group does not exceed five feet above high water mark, and they are only a few rods in width—say five minutes walk. They are very beautiful and many of them abound with breadfruit.cocoanuts,pnndanus, and other tree*. The bottom everywhere is coral; at our anchorage, the water was fn ni 10 to 15 fathoms, and 25 fathoms was the deepest found in mld-lagoon. A vessel entering this lagoon must depend entirely upon her weight of metal, as such a thing as holding-ground cannot be found. Our own is very heavy, and the Morning Star has not yet, on this voyage, started an anchor with a propor scopeof cable. The King, chiefs, and people of Milll were very greatly rejoiced at our visit, and wished Mr. Doane to stay with them. They are very anxious to have a missionary among them,and It Is to be hoped their wishes can be compiled with. The King gave in.: a very beautiful island, and said If I would come and live on it, he would have me a nice house built, and give me more land. They related to us some particulars concerning the Globe mutineers,anil showed us where the ship was anchored, which was outside, very close to the shore, iv a very exposed position, although, as Is known, she escaped. Mr. Doane cruisedamong *hevarious islands in a large canoe belonging to the King, accompanied by him, in order to ascertain thenumber of Inhabitant*. He thinks 600 the extent at the time or our visit. The N.K. trades were Just setting In, and we had the wind most of the time very strong, with squally and rainy weather. There are four deep-water channels, all upon the north shores. One of them Is a mile in width. The aouth point of the group is In lat. 5° 58 N., long. 172° 2-30 E. ; IU northern extreme lit. 0° 20 N., long. 171° 4ft X.; In the central part of the lagoon are three small shoals, on which are breakers—no other danger exists. We left Milll or Mulgrave Island on the 20th Nor. for Arrowsmith Island—called Maturo by the natives—and arrived next day sailed close along Its southern shore. About its eastern point the land is broken, and a canoe came out ofa small opening—but soon we found it continuous and unbroken for _4 miles—the reef and chain of islets being to the north. It is a magnificent Island. The ground where Mr. Doane and myself landed is from six to ten feet high. It has elegant forests of breadfruitand nandanus trees. Cocoanuts of course abound bananas also seemed to be plentiful. We walked across the Island to the lagoon-side escorted by 300 to 400 natives—men, women and children. Theyappeared to be filled with wonder and delight. On the shore of the lagoon the sight was most delightful—about twenty large canoes lay upon the beach. We made the chiefs some presents. We left the Island on the evening of Dec. 1 for Bougham's group *, arrived and entered Its lagoon on the next day, anchoring under an island called Imurott, near tbe spot where, five years since, a trading schooner was cut off. Capt. McKemie and all hands, save one, were killed. The one saved Is a native of Manila, and is now with me. The vessel anchored the day before the massacre. The Captain was carried ashore from bis boat on the back of a native, and tbe schooner lay very (dose to shore. A native with a hatchet cot the Captain's head nearly off, which was the signal for those on board to commence the work of death. Many natives being on board, soon all were dead, except the above mentioned.

The island supposed so harebeen discovered by my predecessor last yw can be (band upon the old charts of JVorie, and Is called PriDoessa Island. Tbe south' channel also of the Apian lagoon Is distinctly marked In the rerj excellent charts of the Kingsmill group by Commodore Wilkes. Standing to the north, we passed over the given position of Halcyon Island, and saw nothing. January 8, lat. 31 ° 00 JV., long. 174° 42 X., took a heavy gale from S. W. which brought the packet down to straight Jacket for lo hours; 13th, lat 31 ° 33 JV., long. 174° 30 W., experienced another gale, heavier than the first, from thesouthward—was hove to also In this 10 hours,under a storm trysail 19th,took a third gale, near as hard as both the former, the wind W.jV.W., we scud E.B.E. under close-reefed topsail and storm trysail, and finally reefed foresail for 30 hours, our decks drenched fore and aft; during this gale we had very heavy squalls and much lightning, with a very heavy sea running, but the Packet behaved remarkably well. Our passage thus fur has been a very boisterous one, if I except six days of calm and doldrums. When standing to the north in the trades, they were very strong and very squally, frequentlybringing us down to a closereef, and once furled our foretopsall. Through it all, the JWorning Star has proved herself an able boat In all sorts of weather. In speaking of Arrowsmith Island, I forgot to mention the fact that I found It placed In both my charts (Blunts and Imray's) 12 miles south of Its true position. Its western point lies in lat. 7 16, JV., long. 171° 00 K. In all the lagoons I found high water at fulland change of the moon to take place at halfpast 3, with a rise of fire feet—neap tides not over two feet; their 'seaward shores are boldand steep, having no outstanding -, ° dangers. Upon ourarrival at the Mulgraves, we attempted to enter tbe lagoon by a narrow channel,which we supposed was the only one, and through which a ship cannot pass inward while the trades are blowing—working as near as possible, we anchored upon the coral shelf, awaiting a chance to enter. I knew the tide was running flood at the time, and rising upon tlie shore, but foundit running out of the lagoon at the rate of 3 knots ; this ran fornine hours, and we dragged off theshelf at sunset, leaving the tide running out still knots. This passage Is In part to leeward, and when, afterwards, we found three deep channels to windward,into which the trade-winds were pouring its waters, we didnot wonder at the pouring out to leeward. They have no bananas at Mulgrave, so we left some very nice plants. The people of the Kadack and Ralick chains are great seamen, aa well as navigators, frequentlymaking voyages of hundreds of miles In their frail canoes, with their lumberingoutriggers, the whole or the fastening being but small cord, made of cocoanut husk. Strong's and Ascension Islanders are keepers at home. Wa were at Strong's Island when the death of the King took place. I was present at theburial, and also at theceremonies attending the coronationof the new King. A more perfect scene of heathen mummery can hardly be Imagined. The days af the Strong's Islanders seem to be numbered—-only 800 remain. They are very pleasant and agreeable in their intercourse with strangers, as are also the people of Ebonand Mulgrave's. Tbepeople of the Kingsmill group, on the contrary, are of a rather morose _ turn. We have now been for three days running in a JV.K. gale, under close-reefed sails, and everything and everybody well wet down—-from Lady Faith to the man at the wheel. Tbe qualities of the Morning Star have been well tried on this passage, and I think a more able and well-behaved vessel ol her class in heavy weather, is not yetbuilt. Sunday 23d, 1P.M., 1am happy to say, wehave justraised the land, thecentralpart of Molokai. Wellbuffetedwe have been ever since the last Sabbath.

S £*yr- ThePanama Rail-Road Company take* this method "f informing those interested in the Whaling busi MJ___J_ir ne»_, of the advantages offered by the Railroad 9tmmtm across the Isthmus of Panama, for the shipment of Oil from the Pacific to theUnited States, v.id for sending outfitsand supplies from theUnited State* to Panama. The Railroad has been in regular and successful operation for more than two years, and Its capacity for the transportation of every description of merchandise, including Oil, Provisions, &c, has been fully tested. The attention of several Captains of whaleships has recently been'turned to the subject of shipping theiroil from Panama to New York during thepresent season, and the Panama Rail-Road Company has made arrangements to afford every facility which may be required for the accomplishment of this Important object. A Pier, 460 feet long, has been built In the bay of Panama, to the end of which Freight Cars are run to receive cargoes from lighters or vessels lying alongside, and deliver the same alongside of vessels at Aspinwall. Vessels of from 200 to 300 tons can lie at the Pier with Bafety, grounding in the mud at low water. The vessels to and from Aspinwall are fast-sailingbrigs, be longing to theRail-Road Company, and the Company Is pre pared to receive oil at Panama and deliver It In New York, under through It 111wof Lading at k the rateofseren cents per gallon, if received at the Pier, and eight cents per gallon if received in the harbor from ship's tackles, charging for the capacity of the casks, without allowing for wantage. For whalebone, one and one-half cents per pound. This charge covers every expense from Panama to New York, in case the oilis sent through the Superintendent or Commercial Agent ofthe Panama Rail-Road Company, Insurance excepted. The freights may be made payable on the Isthmus or in New York at the option of the shipper. The vessels of the Company sail regularly semi-monthly, and the averagepassages to and from Aspinwall are about twenty to twenty-five days. The time occupied In crossing the Ishmus is fourhours. Oil, during its transit across the Isthmus, will be covered with canvas, or conveyed in covered cars, and owners may be assured that every care will be takentoprevent leakage. Severalcargoeshave already been conveyed to New York with out the slightest loss. Oil or other (roods consigned for transportation to the Superintendent ofthe PanamaRail-Road Company, or to William Nrlnon, Commercial Agent ofthe Company at Panama, will bereceived and forwarded with the greatest despatch.

Not only may its commencement be happy, but ilso its days, weeks and months, as they glide away, be happy. To secure this result it will be necessary to heed and obey the commandments and precepts of the Bible. Fail not to read some portion of this sacred volume each day. Become familiar with it? precious truihs.— Make them a lamp unto thy feet and light unto thy path. Read two chapters in the Old Testament and one in the New each weekday, and six in the Old and four in the New each Sabbath, and, at the year's end, you will have read the Old Testament through once and the New through twice during the year. Try it. Make the experiment. Great good may be the result, for we are assured that in keeping of God's commandments there is great reward. "Godliness is profitable unto all things, having the promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come." The unknown friend in the United States who sent us two reams of excellent letter paper, per Syren, has our sincere thanks. If we knew his name and residence we should send back one sheet with one of the very best notes of acknowledgment which it was possible for us to pen. We should not be surprised if this was in some way connected with a standing notice in our columns that sailors are furnished with "pen, ink and paper" gratis, at the Depository in the Sailors' Home. — College. (01* Jwrtfs, Del. )fi. unless he can hi found upon the islands.— Punahou (new spring) must continue to send forth its pure mountain stream ! The noble and generous spring that gushesfrom its soil, sending forth its perennial current to freshen, gladden and fertilize the broad plain, happily typifies that intellectual, moral and spiritual stream which, we trust, may never ceasx; flowing from that collegiate institution so long as our islands remain the cherished and happy abode of human beings. Nature and Providence indicate that at that iavored spot there shall continue to exist a never-failing fountain of learning and science. We are glad to know that the noble men who conduct the world-wide operations of the American Board of Foreign Missions at Boston, take enlarged an<J correct views upon this subject. They see and realize that should the Sandwich Islands be left without a college, university, or such an institution as this seems designed to be, the crowning work of the great Protestant Missionary enterprise in the North Pacific would be incomplete. Every civilized, educated and Christian nation must have an elevated institution of learning, well officered and well endowed. We are hopeful for the future, and sincerely trust that the Rev. W. P. Alexander, who has recently embarked for the eastern States, may succeed in securing funds for an ample endowment, and, if it finally appears necessary, also of selecting a new President. Has Brother Jonathan "Counted the Cost" before Going to War with Paraguay?—Wc think not, either in regard to men or money. More than one has asked, what is the cause of this formidable expedition to South America ? As an answer to this question we refer our readers to an article found in another column, and copied from Harper's Monthly for November. It is there told in a few words. We shall anxiously await tinresult of this warlike expedition. Oahu Clerical Association.—Next meeting The Trustees of this institution were notified, at a lecent meeting, by President Beckwith, that in consequence of the protracted indisposition of his wife, and the decided opinion of her physician that her health would not be permanently improved while residing in a tropical climate, he must resign his situation as President. This announcement has filled the minds of the trustees, students and friends of the institution with much sadness and perplexity. They had been fondly and confidently looking to him as just the man whose abilities and qualifications most eminently fitted him to preside over the infant Seminary, and secure for it that public, sympathy and pecuniary endowment so much needed at the present crisis. As he has, however, intimated that he will not retire for a full twelve month, allowing sufficient time for a successor to be chosen, we cannot but earnestly hope and fervently pray, that the cause of his resignation being happily removed by a kind Providence, he may long remain to perfe:t that system of education which he has so happily inaugurated. It affords us sincere gratification to announce that this important step has not been taken, in consequence of any fears in the President's mind that the institution was prematurely undertaken or would not succeed. He has not intimated a thought in that direction. The Trustees entertain no such views. They are constantly becoming more deeply impressed with the necessity and importance of building up an institution where the foundations have been so auspiciously laid. Its <ndowment must be secured. The rising generation must be educated here, although occasionally individuals may go abroad. Most sadly should we deprecate a retrograde tendency in this enterprise. There must not be one backward step.

For the first time we recently met some Polynesians from this island, but very much unlike the ordinary natives of the Sandwich, Society or Samoan groups. They somewhat resemble persons known among seamen, as black Portuguese. They have the hair of the negro, but still are far from being Africans. Upon inquiry, we learned that they were from the small island of Lifu, one of the Loyalty group, and situated in south lat., 21 ° , and east long. 166 °. These men were brought to Honolulu by Capt. Thompson, of the China, who report* that he found them on Ascension, at the Rev. Mr. Sturges' station. According to the story of the men themselves, the captain of an English brig, the Two Brothers, took them away from their home very much against their will. They say, "he steal us." He took them to Ascension, and there disposed of the men to the Nanakin, and a foreigner, for supplies, including pigs ! Being anxious to return home, and no opportunity offering, through the solicitation of Mr. Sturges, Capt. Thompson took them on board the China, after paying certain claims against them at Ascension. They have been one cruise North, and were discharged here a few days ago by Captain Thompson, with $40 each. Through the kindness of Capt. Manchester, of the Morea, they have been furnished with a gratuitous passage to Roratonga, hoping thatfrom thence they may obtain a passage on board the mis sionary bark John Williams, to Lifu, although this island is some 3000 miles from Roratonga. From Gill's Gems of the Cored Islands, we copy the following facts in regard to Lifu :— " The island is about 80 miles in circumfer- " The chapel was 100 feet long, and 40 wide. Besides being furnished with seats, it had a pulpit, reading desk, doors, and neat Venetian blinds for windows, all of which was the work of the people of Lifu, under the superintendence and assistance of their native Christian teachers." The people had renounced "heathenism, idolatry, war and cannibalism." Some were able to read. About 300 were in a course of Biblical instruction. Writes the first missionary, Paoo, in 1853, "This is a joyful season. The work of God is now advancing—idols, and things the people held sacred in heathenism, are cast away. This a great reward. We have more work than we can do. There are five villages where the people now wish for resident teachers." In 1854, when the new missionaries landed, 3000 natives assembled to give them " a Christian welcome." No Europenn missionaries have ever been stationed upon Lifu. The good accomplished has been through the instrumentality of native missionaries from the Samoan Islands. All honor to these faithful men, and to their English teachers, who educated these Samoans, and prepared them to go 3000 miles from the shores of Roratonga and Aitutaki to preach the Gospel among the savage tribes of Lifu. We are glad to have met these four Lifuan natives. They are the first, and may be the last we shall ever see, from their remote island home. We trust they may reach that home in safety and become efficient laborers in helping their Christian teachers. We shall hope, hereafter, to learn that they have been safely landed upon the shores of Lifu. Arctic Whaling in 1858. ence, and thickly populated. Remarks the Rev.

From thence we coasted along its edge in a north-westerly direction. On the Ist of June we were in lat. 60° 40, long. 177° 30 E., the ice still forming a hairier to the North. We now had fresh gales from S.W. to W.S.W., during which the ice gave way, apparently about were much encouraged with the prospects of the mission. A chief man, named Bula, had embraced the Gospel, and had built a " house of God." In 1852, the missionary bark John Williams again visited the island, and 10, a great change had been produced. The savages were beginning to wear clothing. one knot per hour. On the 6th it moderated, and we steered to the North ; saw but few scattering pieces of ice. On the 10th passed Cape Navarin, and found the ice to the eastward making nearly in a line for the entrance of the Straits, curving round to the westward, in about lat. 64°, and thence to the S.W., the open water making a somewhat deep bend into the Bay of Anadir, the ice again joining the land a few miles west of Cape St. Thaddeus. We found several ships beating about in this open space, but finding no egress to the North East or West without entering the ice pack. (The previous year at this date, theKamschatkaand Anadir Seas and Bhering Straits was entirely clear of ice). In speaking one of these vessels we learned that a large number of bowheads had been seen among the ice to the south, nearly abreast of Cape Olnorsky, and that several ships had taken from one to three each. As we had not seen any ourselves, and did not hear of any hereabouts, I supposed there might be open water to the north, and that the whales might be found there earlier than usual, as was the case last year. Accordingly I put the ship into the ice on the 14th, in company with the Hibernia, in lat. 64 s 14, long. 176°. Finding the ice rather heavy after gaining a few miles north-easterly, we moored to a ferae cake and furled everything, in order to protect our copper from damage. On the 16th, unmoored and made some progress easterly, through the lanes of open water. On the 17th brought up again, the wind freshening and the ice quite close, and having moored snugly to a largd cake, from the top of it we filled our tank with thirty barrels of excellent fresh water, although not more than three feet above the surrounding salt water, Saw ten or twelve ships under sail in an open space some distance to the eastward of us. On the 18th, took in our ice anchors and worked through into open -water, some miles from Cape Noss, the other ships in sight getting through about the same time. On the 20th the ice again barred our progress to the North, some twenty miles north of Cape Chaplin. We then worked back by the same path tkrough which we had entered. We next tried to get east towards Sledge Island, a report being current among the fleet of bowheads having been seen in that vicinity the year previous. Failing in this, we were obliged to lay round among the ice until the 27th, the weather mostly foggy. When it cleared up, we had King's Island bearing west 20 miles, the Straits nearly full of ice in that direction, but nearly clear to the N.W. On the 2d of July, were off St. Lawrence Bay; saw four or five bowheads going quick to the north, the first we had seen. On the 6th entered the Arctic; on the 11th made the ice in lat. 69° 15. During the remainder of this month cruised �about in the Arctic and in the Straits; saw but seven or eight scattering whales during the whole time, a considerable portion of it windy or foggy weather, though said to be much better tham the season of '57. On the last of this month I heard that a large number of whales had been seen passing up by Plover Bay and Cape Chaplin, about the 20th, bound into the Straits, moving fast, Although making no stop, several ships succeeded in getting one or more each. They were next seen off King's Island, the first week in August, where a number more were taken. Immediately afterward they appear to have passed up arojnd Cape Lisburne, in the vicinity of which the greatest strike of the season was made, so far as I have heard from those who were fortunate enough to be on the spot at the right time, say the middle and latter parts of August, of which number I was not one, nor in either of the cuts previously mentioned, but simply report from hearsay. During this month we had considerable rugged weather, with a full share of fog, but still sufficient weather suitable for whaling to have taken a good cut of oil, if we could have found the whales, of which we saw several, very shy, however. On the 29th, strong winds from the north; saw several ships bound south; the next four days strong gales from the north. On the 3d of September saw our first show of whales, in any considerable number, for the season, but hard to strike, the land about Point Hope bearing N.N.E. 30 miles distant. Probably they were the same body that had just been harassed further north. I should judge there were 100in sight during the day. On the 4th we saw a goodly number ; also on the morning of the sth saw some, but as it came on to blowand rain, and we had a couple to cut in, did not look after them. The next four days had strong winds and fog ; saw several ships bound out. On the 10th, saw quite a number again, in about the same place; saw a ship take one. On the 12th, 13th and 14th, fine weather; the whales appear to have moved off, as we did not see any. On the 16th, concluded to put off to the south; and now begins a new feature with regard to the winds in this part of the world late in the season. In previous years I had never seen any lack of northerly winds and October to make southing with—in Sept. was agreeable—particugenerally more than ferly in 1852. This year we had strong winds from the north, the three last days of Aug. and Sept—also on the 9th. From the 15th of Sept until the 12th of October, we had a constant succession of sharp southerly jjales, at intervals of from one to three days ■each, giving us a very protracted passage to the swutfa. On the 25th of Sept. we were off Cape East, with eight sails in sight, one of which bad entered the Straits some ten days before, but had been driven back by the constantly recurring southerly gales. The passage through the Fox Islands late in the season is always the source of some anxiety, especially with unsettled weather and frequent gales. A vivid recollection of the fate of the Monongakela and her unfortunate crew coming up with startling distinctness to anyone having those rock-bound shores close under their lee during a violent gale. The 72d passage, as it is called, is generally preferred, being much the widest, and represented as having no race, although in 1853 I found a current setting to the eastward, taking my ship at least 18 miles in that direction during a calm of eight hours continuance. This time I had steered for the most eastern passage. On the sth of Oct. at sun-rise had it bearing S., 45 miles, with strong winds from west, and very hazy weather at 11-30 made the Island of Akoun, three-and-a-half miles distant, the land so completely buried in haze that the surf was in sight almost as soon as the mountain. At 5-30 P. M., got through between Ougamok and Tigolda, nearly calm ; at 7, a breeze from S.W., backing round to S. and S.S.E., and blowing on fast —soon had strong gales, carryingall possible sail to get a good offing, which we had well nigh attained before we were forced to take in to our regular storm-sails. Fortunately these southers, after they become violent, are short-lived, generally breaking suddenly, and hauling round to the W., giving a ship caught on a lee shore an opportunity to head offsuch was the case at thist ime—the gale abating at meridian on the 6th, and hauling round to S.S.W.,and blowing strong from that quarter. On the 9th, had another strong souther —on the 10th and 11th, heavy gales from W.S.W., during the remainder of our passage in we have had very favorable winds and pleasant weather. ; The Paraguay Expedition, The Paraguay Expedition is about to be dispatched. The origin of the difficulty with Paraguay is as follows : In 1852 the United States steamer Water Witch, Lieut. Page, commander, was sent out to make an exploration of the River Plata and its tributaries. The expedition was undertaken and prosecuted with the concurrence of Brazil, the Argentine Confederation and Paraguay—the States bordering upon these waters. Everything proceeded satisfactorily until September, 1854, when a slight difficulty occurred between a Paraguayan citizen and Mr. Hopkins, the American consul at Asuncion, who was also the general agent for an American mercantile company. The Paraguayan Government took up the quarrel, a sharp correspondence ensued, which was ended by the withdrawal of the exequatur of the consul and the suspension of the business of the company, the members of which left the country on board of the American steamer. Shortly afterward President Lopez issued a 3 THE FRIEND, JANUARY, 1859. decree prohibiting foreign vessels of war from navigating the rivers of Paraguay. On the Ist of February of the next year the Water Witch, while ascending the river Parana, which forms the boundary between Paraguay and Corrientes, one of the States of the Argentine Confederation, was fired upon from the Paraguayan fort Itapiru. The man at the wheel was killed, and tho vessel was slightly injured. The steamer was at the time under the command of Lieutenant Jeffers, Lieut. Page and most of the officers being absent on an exploring expedition in another quarter. It was subsequently asserted by Lopez that the Water Witchhad left the "common channel," and was actually within the waters of Paraguay ; and he furnished a chart of the river and the position of the steamer to corroborate the assertion. This chart was altogether erroneous, The steamer was in the channel common to Paraguay and Corrientes, as is shown by accurate charts prepared by the expedition ; and, even had she been in the waters of Paraguay, the fact that she was not properly a vessel of war, but a small steamer engaged in a scientific enterprise, should have exempted herfrom the operation of the decree of Lopez. Reparation having been vainly demanded, the present expedition —the most imposing ever fitted out by our government—has been fitted out. It consists of the following vessels, under command of Commodore W. B. Shubrick : — umcers.

There are under the charge of the Board 27 missions, 121 stations, and 101 out-stations ; and, including native helpers, 897 missionaries, of whom 373 were sent from this country. At their eight printing establishments 45,489,346 pages were printed the past year; making the whole number from the beginning 1,080,481,083 pages. There are 138 churches, with 27,740 members, of whom 1,522 were added during the year. There are 6 seminaries, with 348 pupils, 17 boarding-schools with 544 pupils, and 619 free schools, including 312 supported by the Hawaiian government, with 16,128 pupils. Five missionaries died during the year, and 19 new missionaries were sent out. The total receipts during the year were 330,818 48, and the expenditures $353,-849 93 ; leaving a deficiency, with the debt of the previous year, of $40,870 87.

English Christmas and New England Thanksgiving. In the sermon of the Rev. Mr. Arthy, chaplain of H. B. M.'s ship Calypso, at the Bethel, on Christmas morning, he described the manner of observing Christmas in England, pointing out the happy influence which it exerted upon the people. It was the occanion, of all others, when children and grandchildren gathered round the old homestead. Full play was given to the kindly feelings of our natures, parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren meeting and rejoicing together. No doubt every Englishman and Englishwoman felt that it was pleasant, even in imagination, to live over again the joyous season of Christmas, and perhaps wondered how their American cousins could be so prejudiced that they should not make :is much of Christmas. listening to the Rev. Mr. Arthy'sre;B, the thought arose in our mind, and in of others, surely the preacher could not have chosen more apt and appropriate language to have described a genuine New England Thanksgiving. The two occasions are observed precisely alike at home and around the domestic hearth, where the old and the young, the venerable and the youthful gather to exchange their warm congratulations and friendly greetings. Then, too, the public services of the sanctuary are not altogether dissimilar. They may differ in form, but not Ii in spirit. With all deference to " the Powers that be" and Rulers of the Kingdom, we do sincerely hope that when another year rolls around, should we be favored with a Royal Proclamation, calling upon the people to be thankful, the 25th of December will be the day set apart for the purpose. We may be mistaken, but, from our point of observation, the blending of the two days will have the most happy effect upon all classes. Let the descendants of Cavaliers and Roundheads, Churchmen and Puritans meet as brethren in this remote part of the world; both rejoice that a Savior was born, and both are thankful when our beloved King can thus open his Royal Proclamation: " Whereas the blessings of Divine Providence have been bountifully showered Upon our people throughout the present year."

Another volume of Bancroft has made its appearance. Well can we remember when volume Ist appeared, more than twenty years ago, if we mistake not it was in 1534 or '35. Its style and tone indicated that a mnsterhand had taken up the historic pen. As volume after volume have been issued from Little, Brown &c Co.'s excellent publishing and printing house, at Boston, they have gladdened the hearts of ull lovers of history, and especially American history. Now we are favored with volume VII., and are informed that two more are forthcoming. May the life of the historian be spared to complete this groat national undertaking. The present volume embraces that deeply interesting and exciting period of American history just prior to the Declaration of Independence. The last chapters narrate the Battle of Bunker Hill. No part, however, of the work is more interesting than those chapters relating to the debates upon the American Colonial Question in the British Parliament. The "old thirteen" had friends in Parliament, and among the people of England. It is soul-in- O! where shall be my resting-place When life'sdull scenes aro o'er ?

" There were giants in those days." We do not profess to be a reviewer, but could not withhold n few passing remarks. Christmas Tree.—The Christmas tree can be traced to the land of Luther. How long it there flourished in the forests of Germany, before Luther's day, we cannot stop now to enquire. A sprig was brought to the Sandwich Islands a few years ago, and it appears to have found a genial climate and a fruitful soil. It is really wonderful how it flourishes. Like Jonah's gourd, " which came up in a night and perished in a night," the Christmas-tree makes n great display of fruit on the first night of its growth. Mrs. Dominis, with her wonted skill for flowergrowing and tree-planting, produced a Christmas-tree that was much admired, especially by the juveniles, who gathered under its shadow and plucked its ripe fruit ready to drop into their hands, marked and labelled. How much Santa Claus had to do in the wonderful production we cannot say, but he appeared very much at home on the occasion, and seemed to know by name all the little folks that were dancing and kiting about like so many fairies. We congratulate the children of Honolulu that they enjoy so many pleasant gatherings, and we would thank Mrs. Dominis for her expense, trouble and labor to make the young people happy. The shipmaster who has kindly forwarded a narrative of hislate northern cruise, has our thanks, and if he would have consented, our readers should have known his Rappers among Whalemen. Occasionally meeting persons among our seafaring acquaintances, who are believers in the absurd opinions of the Rappers, we commend the following fact to their consideration, copied from a late paper: "The hardest rap the spirits have received for some time is the very inconsiderate arrival home in New Bedford hist week of a young man who was believed to have been lost in the wrecked bark Wade ten years ago. For a long while his afflicted 'governor' has been conversing with him in the spirit land—the last message, through a medium, being to the fact that 'he was among the saints, and a crown of glory was awaiting his father.'"

This historical fact is one of no little importance, and should be well understood. It was a war against which the English people most solemnly protested. It was with the utmost difficulty that soldiers could be enlisted in England proper. Several army and naval officers threw up their commissions rather than proceed to America, or be considered as opposed to the colonies. We frankly confess that our love for old England never was greater than when rising from the perusal of this volume of American history. CIRCULAR. To the Pastors of the Hawaiian Churches: The Directors of the H. Miss. Society have requested their Secretary to call upon the pastors, elders, deacons and agents of tho Hawaiian churches to forward their missionary funds, monthly contributions, &c, to Mr. S. N. Castle, Treasurer, at their earliest convenience. Rev. J. Kekela has visited all our churches during the year, and expluined the nature, character, success and prospects of the Marquesan Mission. He writes me that he wishes the Directors to send out two more missionaries and their wives by the next trip of the Morning Star. But this we cannot do unless the churches are prompt and liberal in their donations. The Morning Star is nearly due, and it is thought advisable to dispatch her early to the Marquesas, so that shemay return before our general meeting in May next. There are now only about ($400) four 'hundred dollars in the treasury ; but to meet our probable liabilities weshall need' ($4,000) four thousand dollars. It is the privilege as well as the duty of every church on the Sandwich Islands to contribute liberally for the support of the Marquesas Mission. Please lay this subject before your church and people, and may we not hope for a prompt, liberal, eolden reply to this call for pecuniary aid? 1858. L. SMITH, n Honolulu, Dec. 18, Cor. Sec. P.

Died, on Friday evening last, December 3d, at his residence, in Honolulu, Mr. Cook, (commonly called Kuke,) aged seventy-seven years, having been a resident of these Islands for upwards of thirty-two years. He was born at Huahine, one of the Society Islands, in the year 1781. His parents' name was Taouiarii, but they being in some way connected with the family of King Pomare Vairaatoa, (the father of the present Queen) that King gave him the name of Cook, in honor of the celebrated navigator. It appears that when very young he became religious, and has always been looked upon as a missionary. He was a great favorite of King Pomare, and an intimate friend of the Rev. Mr. Barff, who, in several of his letters has spoken of him in the highest terms of praise. In the year 1826, Kalaimoku, then the High Chief of these Islands, requested King Pomare and his Chiefs to Bend hither a native Missionary, and Mr. Cook was selected for that purpose, and arrived here ih the following year. In the year 1849, his late Majesty Kamehameha in. appolntesl Mr. Cook as his Chaplain, whioh office he held till his Majesty's death. There are many persons now residing on these Inlands, who can testily to his faithfulness as a laborer in the vineyard of the Lord. A few minutes previous to his death, he was asked how he felt. He calmly replied, '• Well!—I am only waiting for the Lord to call me—l am ready!"

He has left at Ihe Society Islands a sister and an only Bon, for whom he has well provided, and in this city two daughters and three grand-children. Poly. " — New Treaty with Japan.—A correspondent of the Boston Herald, writing from the steam frigate Mississippi, at Hakodadi, says: I presume that before this reaches you. you will have received the intelligence that our Consul, Mr. Harris, has succeeded in completing his new treaty with the Japan Government, and that it has been signed by the Emperor and sent to our Government by CommodoreTatnall. Mr. Harris has labored hard to bring about this grand result, and ia deserving the congratulations of the whole Amerioan people. By this new treaty the port of Simoda, of no account to us, will be closed, and the beautiful harbor of Lanagua, only twelve miles from the city of Jeddo, is to be opened to us for oommerce, &c. After the treaty is ratified, that portion will be the residence of Air. Harris. It is a beautiful harbor, easy of ncoess at atl times of the year, well protected from all storms, snd is not like that of Simoda, surrounded at its extremes by sunken rocks. It is also oapable of containing a large number of ships, while that of Simoda is not large enough to allow more than three or four ships to ride at anchor at the same sime. Its proximity to the Court of Jeddo will also make It convenient for Mr. Harris. The Japanese Government has decided to send an Ambassador to Washington in March next, on the condition that our Government will convey him and his suite to Panama in a government ship tn route for the United States. I learn that Mr. Harris and Comnv dore Tatnall assured the authorities of Jeddo that it would be gratifying to the United States Gov. ernmrnt and its people to comply with this request, at-d that the return mail would no doubt bring orders to that effect. Sunday, August Ist, was an interesting one at Simoda. At 10 o'clock, a. v., all the boats of the Powhatan and of this ship were seen pulling to the landing near the Consul's residence, one mile from Simoda proper, filled with officers and men, among whom were Commodore Tatnall, Capt. Nicholson, and the Rev. Mr. Wood, Chaplain of the Powhatan. This large party, numbering four hundred, proceeded to the consul's residence for the purpose of attending divine worship of Almighty God on Japanese soil. Here, on the very soil from which the decree has gone forth for centuries to the world, that if the Almighty God himself, or man, or the devil should dare to Btep foot on Japanese soil to preach the religion of the Most High, they should pay the forfeit of their lives; here it was that, on the Ist day of August, 1868, four hundred Amerioan officers and seamen worshipped the true God wilbout being molested. Rev. Mr. Wood gave his text from Ist Thessalonians, chapter 1, verses 9 and 10, and hymns 107 and 118 from the Episcopal Common Prayer-book were sung with much effect by the choir of the Powhatan. The discourse was listened to for an hour with the utmost silence by the American hearers, while a vast crowd of Japanese gathered around the building to watch our movements. The Young Men's Christian Association of New Orleans, performed a noble work during the prevalence of the yellow fever. Soon after the epidemic began to rage, they divided the city into sections, assigning to each a visiting committee, advertised for nurses, established infirmaries, and, in short, engaged heartily and systematically in relieving the suffering. In less than a month, more than 1,000 applicants received their aid.

The Railroad has been In regular and successful operation for more than two years, and Its capacity for the transportation of every description of merchandise, Including till, Provisions, kc, has been fully tested. The attention of several Captains of whaleships has recently lieen turned to the subject of shipping their oil from Panama to New York during the present season, and the Panama Rail-Road Company haa made arrangements to afford every facility which may be required for the accomplishment of this Importantobject. A Pier, 460 feet long, has been bnllt In the bay of Panama, to the end of which Freight Cars arerun to receive cargoes from lighters or vessels lying alongside, and deliver the same alongside or vessels at Asplnwall. Vessels of from 200 to 800 tons can lie at thePier with safety,grounding in the mud at low water. The vessels to and from Aspinwall are fast-sailing brigs, be longing to theRail-Road Company, and the Company la pre pared to receive oil at Panama and deliver It In New York, under through Bills of Lading at, the rate of seven cents per gallon, If received at the Pier, and eight cents per gallon If received In the harbor from ship's tackles, charging for the capacity of the casks, without allowing for wantage. For whalebone, one and one-half cents per pound. This charge covers every expense from Panama to New York, in case the oilIs sent through the Superintendent or Commercial Agent of thePanama Kail-Road Company, Insurance excepted. The freights may be made payable on the Isthmus or In New York at the option of the shipper. The vessels of the Company sail regularly semi-monthly, and the averagepassages to and from Aspinwall are about twenty to twenty-five days. The time occupied 111 crossing theIshmus is four hours. Oil, during its transit acmes theIsthmus, will be covered with canvas, or conveyed in covered cars, and osroevs may be assured that every care will be taken to prevent leakage. Several cargoes have already been conveyed to New York with out the slightest loss. Oil or other goods consigned for transportation to the Superintendent ofthe Panama Rail-Road Company, or to William Nel son. Commercial Agent ofthe Company at Panama, will be received and forwarded with the greatest despatch. XT Frederic L.
