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.

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.'" A Yankee Boast.—A correspondent furnishes the following report of a conversation which took place in a store in Boslon.

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.

If it is not our privilege our father after the flesh," to call Abraham we do certainly hold to the good old Abrahamic covenant, and regard him among the greatest of ancient worthies. " Information Wanted. Respecting Hoxie Green, who left in 1850 for California, in 1862 or '8 started for home in schooner Penelope, of New London. This vessel was spoken tour days out, but since that time no tidings have been heard from her or her crew. A rumor, however, has reached his friends that he is still living in some port of the Sandwich Islands. He is a bouse carpenter, 61 years of age, and belongs to Westerly, Rhode Island. Respecting Jacob B. Lozieh, aged 25 He left Nantucket on board ship Columbia, Capt. Folger, about four years ago. He was a native of Staten Island. Mr. William Shack, Bark Wavelet, and Josephis Austin. Obituary of a Tahitian. 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!" At the end of a prayer which had been offered up for him, he responded to it in a clear and distinct voice, Amen," and then immediately resigned his soul to his Maker. 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.

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.

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.

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.

More shoals were found In this lagoon than In any we have seen. They are large and numerous—a vessel could hardly remain under way In the nightwithout striking upon them. They are composed of very sharp and hard coral,and we narrowly escaped once in tbe daytime—though we constantly kept a lookout aloft. Leaving our anchorage at 1 P.M., Dec. 8, for the purpose at examining the northwest shores, as usual In getting under way, I placed my son at the wheel. Very soon he desired to leave, saying he felt slok, and that his head felt numb—aura enough, said I, and mine is feeling tbe aame way. I then thought of a beautiful red fish we had eaten for dinner. The unpleasant a-n-sation Increasing, I spoke of It to my officers, and found them troubled In the aame way. A aquall cam* upon us very suddenly while we were wondering at our very strange sensations, which threw the vessel upon her bearing. I had seen it coming, and was taking In sail, but It burst upon us with great fury, tacks, sheets and sails gave way, or we shouldhave fared worse. The rain fell fsst, and we were very near to one nf theseshoals— which side of it we went I could not tell. My tongue I found was In a measure paralyzed, and my officers, as well as myself, staggered about the decks. The squall lasted abouthalf an hour, when we set our crippled sails, and made for a harbor, reaching It before night. It took us all night to get right again from the effects of the fish. 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.

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.

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. Last nightIt blew a heavy galeallnight, bringing us down to itormsalls only. But the voyage seems to be winding up, and I will also wind up this, and I remain yours, most truly, Jxo. W. Knows.

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.

During the few days following his death, every effort was made to recover his body. Those efforts were partially successful. Capt. Clerke remarks, in regard to a bundle that was delivered to him by the natives found in " We it both the hands of Capt. Cook entire, which were well-known from a remarkable scar on one of them, that divided the thumb from the fore finger, the whole length of the metacarpal bone; the skull, but with the scalp separated from it, and the bones that form the face wanting; both arms, the thigh and leg bones, &c. Nothing now remained but to perform the last offices to our great and unfortunate commander. In the afternoon, (Feb. 21, Sunday,) the bones having been put into a coffin, and the service read over them, they were committed to the deep with the usual military honors. What our feelings were on this occasion, I leave the world to conceive." (Sec Cook's Voyages.) It was our privilege to visit Kealakeakua Bay on the anniversary of Cook's buriat. Dull must be the mind that would not on such a spot md on such an anniversary be aroused to deepreflection and solemn meditation ! The contrast between the scenes witnessed Sabbath day, Feb. 21, 1779,and Sabbath day, Feb. 20, 1859, was most striking. Eighty years ago occurred Cook's death and burial. This year, at the same season, in the placid waters of the bay, lay at anchor H. B. M.'s ship Calypso, at mast head flew : HONOLULU, MARCH 5, 1859. the royal standard of his Majesty Kamehameha IV.

He was accustomed, during hie residence in Connecticut, to visit in various parts of the State, and it was during one of these visits that the incident occurred to which there is an allusion in the following extract, copied from a late American Messenger : Washington's Birth Day, Feb. 22p.— Seed Sown bt Obookiau. —A atudent of a western The one hundred and twenty-seventh birth- college, who spent his vacation as a colporteur in Inwrites " I met an elderly lady, to whom I day of Washington appears to have been diana, presented a tract, when she informed me that she bad duly recognized and remembered by the tracts which were given her by Henry Obooklah, of Americans in Honolulu, as appears from the the Sandwich Islands, more than forty years ago, in Connecticut, while he distributing good books. newspaper reports.

Let me narrate to you some of the incidents of our arrival, and some of the incidents which have occurred during our short residence, and some facts of an historical character we have gathered, concerning this people and foreigners. It was on December 5, 1857, in the afternoon of that day, we dropped anchor in the mouth of the channel leading to the lagoon. We sighted the island about 11 o'clock, A. M., and for the six hours' run up to the time of anchoring, we had in sight that beautiful view which a coral island presents —a low, long range of verdure skirting the horizon, with the out-croppings, here and there, of cocoanut trees, some more lofty than others, and in the case of our island accompanied by the bread-fruit tree. The two, indeed, seemed to rival each otherwhich should lift its coronal nearest the heavens—a very suggestive thought, what struggles our redeemed nature should make to rear itself above our depraved one, up even to the heaven of heavens. As we neared the island, and up to the moment of anchoring, our thoughts were busy as to how we should be received by the natives. They—the chiefs residing upon the island at the time of our passage by, down to Apian—had promised protection if we would make here our homes. They assured us that such too would be the feelings of the highest chief, on his return from the north. But the natives of Ebon have been considered treacherous fellows; they have a bad name among seamen. We ourselves Were assured we were throwing away our lives in going to seek a home among them. One captain told us—being asked his views of landing here, snapping his fingers—he would not give that for our heads, should we once get into the power of the people. And another, largely conversant with native character, said the people could not be trusted. Our chief on Ponape urged us to remain with him, if we valued our lives. The king of Strong's Island, learning that Dr. Pierson was about to come here, endeavored to persuade him by no means to take his companion, in which view the Dr. and Mrs. Pierson not agreeing, his highness then suggested he had better leave part of his goods behind; in case ofa repulse or any danger, he could have j»sAething to fall back upon. They thought Rest to follow the advice. With these facts, and others we had gotten by the way—with the decided impression the natives of Ebon at* bore us on, did we ask ourselves what would be our reception ? But on we sailed and anchored, feeling we must go forward as fast as our Master opened the way. It was late in the day when the anchor was let go. The setting sun was bidding us farewell for another day, with his lingering rays. But at this late hour, my associate and self felt a little curiosity to see something of our new home before Monday, and it was suggested, suppose we take the boat and try the natives : we will go ashore and look a little way up into the island, among the rich groves of bread-fruit and cocoanut trees. We went; and no sooner had we landed than our boat was surrounded by natives, and laid hold of and drawn upon the shore, and we were escorted to the residence of the high chief. Before and behind us were numbers of these treacherous fellows. Whither were they alluring us—to some ambush or the house of a friend ? It was the lalter, most evidently, for all along our path one and another native would come running out with what we were pleased to call a " peace-offering "—a well baked bread-fruit. Our visit was pleasant; we saw nothing to excite our fears. As the next day was the Sabbath, it was the wish of all that we might not be visited by the natives ; we wanted to spend the day as much by ourselves as we could. If we suffered natives on board, their idle curiosity would lead them to put themselves where they might not be wanted, or intrude upon scenes to see which could be of no use to them. But could such rude fellows be induced to remainaway from us for twenty-four hours ? With all their lust for blood and plunder, or their desire to trade, a vessel lying right by their side, within a stone's throw of land, one unarmed, and one they could easily master in the darkness of the night) or daylight either, should they attempt it ? If we asked the high chief this favor, had he authority to enforce it? He was told our wishes. He was told we feared and loved Jehovah. He was told we wished not to be visited by a single canoe on the Sabbath. He replied, "No one should do so." The Sabbath dawned. We looked out upon the quiet waters of the lagoon, and up and down the coast, expecting to see canoes from every direction making their way to us ; but, save a few sails gliding about within the reef, for pleasure, evidently viewing us from a distance, not one did we see bearing down towards the Morning Star. The day wore on— we had our religious meetings —we sang and prayed—the melody of our voices mingled with the melody of the breaking waves on shore. We walked the deck, but none were there of natives to molest us. The sun was about sinking to rest, and just then a lone trade. The native was told it was yet Sabbath. He replied, be thought as the sun was about set, the day was gone ; but he left to with his articles of traffic. Surely " this is the Lord's doings; it is marvellous in our eyes," repeated we to ourselves through that day, as we saw how, by some mysterious influence, the rude and, as reported, savage natives of Ebon were both restrained from all violent attacks upon us, and led even to respect our wishes, that not a single canoe should move itself beside our vessel. On Monday morning the natives knew the taboo-emau of Ebon was removed, and from every direction almost, proas and every available craft came sailingtowards us. We were surrounded by them. The native vessels crowded our sides, the natives crowded on deck. Was this a hostile demonstration ? Was the little Morning Star about to suffer the fate a similarly rigged vessel did a few years since, not many stones' throw distant, her crew to be massacred and her hull burnt to the water's edge, or was it only a demonstration of friendship? This large body of canoes and these natives, all wild with excitement, were for peace. We had no reason to fear. The chiefs came to learn the wishes of our captain, and lend a helping hand, had he need of it to enter the lagoon. It was some three or four days after this before Captain Moore decided to enter the lagoon—to do what never before had been done. Was it safe, judicious ? Providence seemed plainly to point that way. Here again our feelings of safety were mingled with those of fear. The passage was narrow, and winding somewhat, with a strong current in the out-flowing of the tide. We were, however, to take the slack of the tide, with hawsers passed out in front, and the bark led through this channel by a hundred hands or more. Would they " gently lead " our beloved vessel, or would they give a bias to hor headings and let her bring up upon the coral banks, and then, in the confusion of the moment, play us a game they of a neighboring island played upon Captain McKenzie ? We made the venture. We safely passed through into the quiet waters within, and here for two weeks was moored the Morning Star, daily crowded by natives, completely in their power. But we were safe. No one that we know of plotted our destruction. We missionaries were engaged in rearing our dwellings and moved into them, and all this time unmolested. Eight months have since passed, and yet nothing worthy serious notice has befallen us—perhaps rather we should say it is quite remarkable we have suffered so little. We fe** 1 often to say, but few missions, at their beginning, have been so prosperous.

When they land upon an island, unless cut off in a short time, they get recruited and with good winds start for home. It is always a rule rigidly observed, not to begin a voyage unless the wind is good and sky fair, or weather which will indicate a good wind for a day or so. The time of starting is usually late in the afternoon, and moonlight night, at least a cloudless sky. The stars, single and in constellations, are their finger-boards, and they read them with great accuracy. They have marked off a large number of star-clusters. It is a matter of no little surprise how accurately they guide themselves from island to island. One would think a coral island would be sufficiently difficult to find by a well navigated ship; but for a proa, guided only by the winds, currents and stars, to start out to sea, expecting to find a low piece of land, which can be seen only ten or twelve miles distant from deck, would be almost a fool-hardy act. But experience makes perfect. As with the old Romans, and Africans, and Britons, and other maritime nations, who long navigated unknown seas, so it is with the roving natives of Ebon and the Kalick.

He traveled from Oahu to countries beyond the heavens, or where they supposed tbe sky to Join theaea. In his route he visitedKilauea, and desired to pay his addresses to Pele. She rejected him with contempt, impolitely calling him "a bog, and the son of a hog." In endeavoring to drive him away, a fierce battle took place. Pele (leu to her house, and her fires were nearly extinguished by great quantities of water, which Kamapuaa poured into the crater; the thirsty family, however, soon drank it op,and finally obtained the mastery over the demi hog, forcing him Into the sea, amidst a shower of fire and atone.. This tale probably originated from an eruption, In which thelava of thevolcano came in coutact with the ocean. Another account statesthatbe conquered Pele, and they were quietly married; in ronsequanre or which no more islands were formed, or extensive eruptions look place.—See Janes' History. �THE FRIEND, MARCH, responded to the ideas arising in the mind when viewing the grand spectacle. We hope, however, by summoning to our aid some of their recorded testimony, to embody such an amount of information as will convey a tolerably correct outline, at least, of the great eruption which has recently occurred on the northwest slope of Mauna Loa, on Hawaii. Pele as First Seen.—The following paragraphs were written by the Rev. L. Lyons, residing at Waimea, Hawaii. The mission premises at Waimea are peculiarly well situated for making distant observations. On Sabbath, Jan. 23d, vulcanic smoke was seen gathering on Manna Loa. In tbe evening the mountain presented a grand yet fearful spectacle. Two streams of fire were issuing from two different sources, and flowing, apparently, in two different directions. The whole region, earth and heaven, were lighted up, and even the interior of our houses received the lurid volcanic light direct from its source. In the morning of the second day, we could discern where the eruptions were. One appeared to be very near the top of the mountain, but its stream and smoke soon after disappeared. The other was on the north side, furtherbelow the top. and was sending out its fires in a north-westerly direction. On the second and third nights, tbe dense smoke and clouds prevented us from having a fair view of Pele's doings; but on the four following nights we had a view—and such a scene! It seemed as though the eye could never weary in gazing at it. The burning crater seemed to be constantly enlarging and throwing up its volumes of liquid fire above the mouth of the crater—l will not venture to say how high—and the fiery stream rolled onward and onward, still adding grandeur and terror as it proceeded, till, on the morning of the 31st, about sunrise, the stream was compelled, though reluctantly, to stop, by meeting the waters of the ocean. Even then its resistless and opposing energy carried it on some distance into the sea. The poor inhabitants of Wainanalii, the name of the village where the fire reached the ocean, were aroused at the midnight hour by the hissing and roaring of the approaching fire, and had but just time to save themselves. Some of the houses of the inland portion of the village were partly surrounded before the inmates were aware of their danger. Wainanalii is near the northern boundary of North Kona, and about twelve or fourteen miles from Kawaihae. It is, of course, all destroyed, and its pleasant little harbor all filled up with lava. The volcanic stream was one mile wide or more in some places, and much less in others. It crossed the Kona rood and interrupted the mail communication. The whole distance of the flow from the crater to the sea is some forty miles." " Pele Spouting.—During a period ofnearly there was a display of intense fiery activity that must have been of surpassing grandeur. Those permitted to behold it were highly favored. An English traveler, Mr. Vaudrey, was encamped near the crater for several days, and saw all that was to be seen. We met him at Kealakeakua, on the evening of his return, February 19. The jets rose one, two, three hundred feet, and, said Mr. V., 1 would not say, but even five hundred "feet!" For several days they,jrere incessant, but gradually died away until they no longer appeared to rise above the crater's rim. Prof. Alexander, in an interesting communication appearing in the Advertiser of February 24th, remarks as fortbws •' As we began to emerge from the woods we had a fine view of the jet playing, at a distance of twenty-five miles, to the height, as we aftertwo weeks after the volcano burst forth, : 18 59. 21 less than thirty, and may exceed fifty square miles.

When lost among the moss of surrounding lava." Mr. Paris's house were open, The descriptions given by Mr. Vaudrey, fully confirm this highly colored picture, sketched by the editor of the Advertiser. Pele Roaring.—Visitors approaching near the active craters are forcibly impressed with the intense activity within, by the deafening sounds which fall upon the ear. Prof. Alexander compares the noise of the flow to " a roar like that of heavy surf." Mr. Vaudrey compared the noise to that of the falls of Niagara, incessant, deep and solemn. Pele Exploding.—During the morning of February 21st, long before we caught a view of either stream or crater, and while at many miles distance, we heard loud explosions, like those of heavy cannon. The sound came booming across the wide plain, and it required no stretch of the fancy to imagine they might have been actual discharges from a fort or man-of-war. On subsequently visiting the lava stream, we readily saw how these explosions were produced. The pent up gasses must find vent, and there was no little danger, if you approached too near the stream, of being " blown up." Pele Flowing.—Lava, when in a liquid state, resembles the molten contents of an iron foundry when in full blast. If a person has ever witnessed the issuing of the melted iron, when the clay or sand is removed from the opening at tbe bottom of a furnace in a foundry, then he may form a tolerably correct idea of lava flowing in a liquid state. It cools very rapidly upon being exposed to the atmosphere, which will account for the surface of the stream soon becoming hard, while a few inches below, the hot lava is flowing at a rate corresponding to the angle of inclination. When lava flows over a precipice, or down a mountainous declivity, the speed is exceedingly rapid, especially when there is heavy pressure in the rear. Upon a level surface the flow is slow, and such as will allow the spectator to approach within a very few feet. The extent of country which has been overspread by this eruption cannot be accurately stated, but it must embrace not the windows of it would blow in and overspread his books and furniture. It has the appearance of finely drawn glass. Visitors at the old crater of Kilauea will not need a description of " Pele's hair." Pele at Night.—The most favorable time for viewing the craters, eruptions and streams, is at night. The appearance from the encampment was that of a distantcity in flames. At times the reflection from the clouds is very bright and exceedingly grand. The light has been seen at sea over fifty miles, and some have asserted as far as one hundred. The view is continually ohanging, according to the activity at the fountain head, and the progress of the various streams through the forests and over the plains. We might add many additional remarks upon the recent eruption and its ever-changing appearances. It is a fruitful topic for discussion, and the scene admits of endless descriptions, A person who has once gazed upon the burning mountain, will never forget the Impression made upon the mind. The present eruption will not want for able pens to portray its wild, bold and terrific features. Party after party have visited the scene of action. We cannot refrain, in concluding our remarks, from expressing our great obligations to' the Captain and wardroom officers of H. B. M's ship Calypso, for their kind hospitality during our late trip to Kealakeakua. It has never before been our privilege to be so comfortable while upon a trip among the islands. Long shall we remember our voy-. aging companions, and the many pleasant incidents connected with the late visit of the Calypso to Hawaii. jy Last Thursday evening, the 3d tart., Proaaawiii W. D.

The Beach-comber's Dream. : — Narrative. —— San Francisco, Oct. 5, 1858. the passengers who leave for New Among York in the steamer for Panama, to-day, is Captain J. N. Knowles, of the clipper ship Wild Wave, which has been missing for several months, and long since given up as h»t, with all on board. As the Captain's story is a very interesting one, I have obtained the particulars from him for your readers. The ship left New York in September last, for San Francisco, where shp arrived on the 14th of January, leaving again in ballast on the 10th February last for Valparaiso. The strong easterly winds which prevailed for some time after starting, forced the vessel considerably to the westward of the usual track of vessels bound for the South American ports. All went well, however, until the night of the 4th of March. Capt. Knowles had taken fair observations daily, and on the night in question supposed himself at least sixteen or eighteen miles from any land. An hour after midnight he discovered brokers upon the Jee bow. The helm was pat hard down, but the ship misstayed, and, while wearing, struck upon a sunken coral reef, and soon fell over pn her side and bilged. A heavy surf broke over the ship, and it became eyident at once thst she must be lost been removed to Norfolk Island. In landing, too, the life-boat was stove and ruined. Of course the unfortunate men were now without a boat of any description, and had no tools with which to construct one. There seemed to be nothing for them to do but possess themselves in patience until next Feoruary or March, when they might hope for succor by the whaling fleet bound up the Pacific. The island abounds in tropical fruits, which, with goats and chickens left by the late settlers, promised an abundant support meantime. So the Captain fitted up a deserted tenement, and made himself comfortable as possible. An old gun-barrel picked up on the island was mounted upon a rude stock so that one man could fire it with a match while it was aimed by another, in this dual fashion the goats were brought down for meat. In walking about the island one day, they found old rusty tools, consisting of a few axes, planes and augers. With these the Captain determined to build a boat to get •way with, and the party proceeded at once to put the plan into execution. Of course it was no small undertaking, for they had no saws, nor rigging, nor iron-work for fastenings. They went into the woods, however, with their axes, hewed a single plank out of each tree, until the whole wns re»adv to put ' . together. In the meantime they found a few nails, and burned a couple of houses to get more. With these and wooden pins, they fastened the vessel, and in about three and a half months, had it ready to launch, a trim looking, though frail schooner, thirty feet in length. From a quantity of condemned ropes picked up on the island, they made oakum to caulk the seams, as well as rigging for the schooner. The sail of the life boat, and some old sail cloth, also picked up t>t Pitcairn's Island, furnished sails for the 'John Adams, as the craft was christened. From a bucket of tar, and several pounds of rosin, found in a deserted tenement, the bottom seams were pa id,and »he rest were paintedwith some refuse white lead from the same source. The hold was three feet deep and nine feet wide, and well decked over. It onlyremained to get a set of colors. These the Captain soon provided, an old shirt furnishing the white stripes and stars, some trimming from the church pulpit the red, and the curtains before the bunk in the house furnished the blue for the field. After being on the island four and a half months the Adams was launched, provision-, ed with jerked goat's meat, chichens, fruits, a few cans of preserved meats, and an abundance of water. Three of the sailors, fearful of the craft, preferred to remain where they were. So Capt. Knowles, his mate, and two men set sail from Pitcairn's on the 3d of July for Tahiti, intending to call in at Oeno Island, where he had left 32 men,. The first night out they encountered a severe gale from the northwest, which lasted three days, forcing them so far eastward, that they could not make Oeno. They bore away accordingly for the Marquesas, 1,300 miles from Pitcairn's, where they arrived safely on the sth of August. Here they found the Uflited States sloop-of-war Vandalia, Commander Sinclair, who immediatly got under weigh for Tahiti, to get wood and water, and proceee} thence to the rescue of the Wild If(ft>e> crew, remaining on Oeno and Pitcairn's. To Tahiti Captain K. and his companions also proceeded. The mate went, with the Vandalia, on her errand of mercy, and Captain Knowles, was carried by the French frigate Eurydice to Honolulu, whence he started for San Francisco on the Bark Yankee, arriving here on the 28th Sept., bringing his colors and his specie with him. He starts for hpme to-day, as already stated, and carries the first news of his ship which has reached the East since last spring. His family, who liye at Cape Cod, have long since given up all hope of ever hearing from him, as he learned from his friends here. He is evidently an intelligent and honorable gentleman, and his misfortunes command the sympathies of the San Francisco merchants and — shippers.

His body was interred on the east side of the lagoon, St. Barholemcw's Bay, coast ofCalifornia. Loss of the Black Warrior.—By the return of the schooner /. D. Carr, we learn with regret the losa of the bark Black Warrior, of this port. The particulars, as we gather them from Captain Brown, who returned in the schooner, are these: The Black Warrior arrived at Bartholomew's Bay from the Arctic Nov. 2d, where Bhe found the tender waiting her arrival and all well on board. On the 28th she and the tender safely entered Frenchman's Lagoon and anchored in 5 1-2 fathoms. The following two weeks the tender was employed cruising about for whales, but with no success. Deo. 20 Capt. Brown concluded to leave the lagoon, and with three boats from the Metropolis, four from the Lark and three from other ships outside, to tow in case of accident, thebark got under way. After passing the bar, it was observed that the strong current was drifting her towards the shore, against a fair breeze and all the boats towing. Her anchors were let go, but the windlass giving out, she payed onto the rocks and commenced thumping where nil attempts to save her were vain. Finding the vessel filling rapidly, efforts were made to save part of her cargo. The bark had on board 300 barrels oil and had received from the tender 400 seal skins, 40 barrels seal oil, and 25 barrels salted fish. Only 90 barrels of oil, and some of the gear and effects of the ship were saved, and are on board the Emerald and Hillman. At daylight on the 21st not a vestige of the bark remained, except the timbers and casks floating about. The officers and crew were divided around among the four ships in the Bay. The Black Warrior was owned at this port, and sailed at on expense of about 810,000, and her cargo was worth perhaps 86,0(XI, on which there is no insurance. Capt. Brown owned one quarter, and the community will sympathize with him in his loss.—Pac. Com. Adv. Information Wanted. Lahaina, Jan. 7, 1859.

The lectures were of a superior order, and delivered in a style evincing ripe scholarship, keen observation and rare oratorical powers. The subject of his lectures was the social and political condition of the South American Republics. In alluding to his visit in Paraguay, he remarked that he had an interview with the Dictator Lopez, the very day that President Buchanan's message arrived, declaring war! Lopez conversed freely upon the subject of the difficulties between his government and the United States, concluding with this remark, referring to President Buchanan, whose message he hMd in his hand, " Let him come, we are ready!" A son of Lopez is at the head of tie naval and military affairs; hence we shal! watch with interest the result of the expedition sent out by the U. S. government, an account of at the sant to which was published in the January number of the Friend. Mr. Collins left Honolulu, a passenger on board the Melita, bound for Japan and the Amoor river. If a favorable opportunity offers, he may return to the United States society. The Washington Tragedy. In all our late American exchanges, both secular and religious, we find much discussion of the most melancholy and disgraceful scenes in Washington connected with the homicide of Key, in the street, by Sickles. Our readers are probably familiar with the facts, for they have been published, over and over, in the papers. Respecting the guilty conduct of such persons as Key and Sickles' wife, the son of Sirach uttered his opinion more than two thousand years ago : " A man that breaketh wedlock * This man shall be punished in the streets of the city, and where he suspected not he shall be taken." 44 Thus shall it go with the wife that leaveth her husband. For, first, she hath disobeyed the law of the Most High ; and, secondly, she hath trespassed against her own husband; and, thirdly, she hath played the whore in adultery. * * * She shall leave her memory to be cursed, and her reproach shall not be blotted out." Ecclesiasticus xxiii. The son of- Sirach remarks -that such persons only fear the eyes of men, forgetting, or not knowing, that " the eyes of the Lord are ten thousand, times brighter than the sun, beholding all the ways of men." In one paper we find that Sickles boasts that all the religious newspapers approve of his conduct in shooting Key. We can hardly think it. He did not kill him in selfdefence, but was goaded onward by revenge. Key may have deserved his fate, but Sickles, although deeply injured, was not the man to execute the law. He may have acted in ac- * * — 25 {(©lb Suits, BW. i». cordance with 41 the laws of honor," but not in accordance with the laws of Him who has declared 4I vengeance is mine." "Better late than never," we hope our readers will say, as they read the April number of the Friend, published the last of May. This is merely reversing the practice of publishers of papers and reviews in the Atlantic States, who print their periodicals in New York to appear in season at San Francisco or the Sandwich Islands! Our readers will notice an obituary of Captain T. Y. Sullivan. We would add, that the Library of the Honolulu Sailor's Home was gathered and sent out by his persevering efforts. It will be a lasting monument to his praise. It is a most excellent collection of books, well adapted to the purpose, and numbers nearly 1000 volumes. The letter of the Rev. Mr. Doane will show that our missionaries are doing something in the way of tracing out the untimely fate of seamen who have been cut off by tho savages of the Kalick Islands. We do not expect to hear ofany more massacres! Better send missionary ships than war vessels among them—Bibles than rum—missionaries than soldiers. The sailor referred to in the letter of the Rev. Mr. Doane, as saved when all others belonging to the vessel under Capt. McKenzie's command were killed, was brought to Honolulu, last January, on board the Morning Star. The vessel cut off, was under British colors.

So says Plutarch. �THE FRIEND, APRIL, 1859. 26 Letter from Rev. E. T. Doane. lOoocluded J Ebon, or Covell's Island, ) I, ISSS. ( Mt Bear "Friend":—Let me say something of the foreign population, which, if it Lull not succeeded in effecting ;\ foothold here, has at least attempted it. It is a matter of fact, no white man has long lived on any of t'tese islands. Some have landed here to superintend oil-making, and thinking to work in and in time secure homes. But I cannot learn that one, for any length of time, has succeeded; nor can I learn that to the white man, as such, any hostility exists, for some for a short time have lived here and have gone off unharmed, tavc perhaps the loss of about all they possessed. But no doubt ihe answer to all this is found in Ihe fact that when such men come ashore they are better clothed certainly than natives from other islands, and these people strongly covet anything new a man possesses ; the chiefs, therefore, will take it by force, if otherwise it is But usually it is the case that a lan who has seen much of the world will ever part with the last shirt he has on his ack, and assume Nature's dress, to please the best of natives ; and no doubt this decision of his, with some expressive acts in which he is not to be subdued, leads to encounters, and of course he in the end falls. The actual killing, then, has no doubt removed some who have here landed and thought to live. But again, while some hive landed, seeing what a wild people this is—not absolutely savage, but hardy ana fighting—chiefs fighting chiefs, and slaves fighting slaves—and nil things looking as though one. might fall at any moment—such (.'fused. have been glad to leave all they had, glad if they could escape. But, again—in the case of one man, at least, and perhaps there may have been many more of the same charac. ter—his oppressive conduct towards the natives, (it is said by them, even shooting some, because they did not work out oil fast enough,) led to his death by murder. Thus, in various ways, these islands have been kept from the influence of such men as usually first reside upon them. The reason may not be altogether known to us, but we cannot but feel that an especial Providence has watched over them, that the Gospel might be the more easily introduced ; because the fact is notorious, that where a native population had for its schoolmasters such men as get away from ships, or who in general terms may be culled " beach-combers," that people have been very hard to win over to the Gospel. Had Ebon, for the last twenty-five years, as Ponape and Strong's Island, been under such teaching, it is quite certain its people could not have been approached ss they have been, and their outward regard won as it has been. If a landing even by the missionary could have been effected, he never could have called the people about him, and had them listen to the Gospel as they have almost upon the first day of his coming among them, while ns yet he but speaks in a stammering manner the message he proclaims. We are willing, at least, to take this solution to the question— 44 Why have these islands, for the seventy-five years since their original discovery, been thus kept in their original state ?" You have had the report of the death of Capt. McKenzie, in the fall of 1802, at Jiluth. Let me give you a few facts, gathered from natives, and a Malay man, one of the crew. This man says the reason alleged by the natives for taking the vessel is, that the captain did not give to the chiefs very liherally of his tobacco ; and for this they planned his destruction. The morning aftet the vessel came to anchor in the Lagoon, the captain took his boat, manned by natives of the islrnd, and went ashore to get some wood cut, taking with him two axes. He had hardly landed ere they fell upon him, striking him down, and leaving his body unburied. At his fall, the shout was given to the large body of natives on the vessel to begin their work. They soon accomplished it, there being, besides the mate, some seven or eight men only. The Malay man spared was aloft, and after being chased awhile by some natives, was saved by a chief claiming him as his boy. He has since been closely watched when ships were about, not being suffered to go on board. On the fall of the mate and men, the vessel was plundered of what the natives thought worth taking, the tobacco especially being seized boxes of it, it is said, were taken and sent to chiefs of different islands. The vessel was then fired. Her hull, it is said, can now be seen beneath the water. The natives talk to us freely of this deed. They have brought me pieces of chain, which they said came from that island, but I suspect they were taken from a vessel cutoff here some two or three months after ; Capt. McKenzte. Let me give you a few facts concerning this last mentioned vessel. The immediate cause of it is said by a native informant to be, that a ship fired upon the natives some three months previous, killing two chiefs and some common people. I have not been able to get any satisfactory explanation why the said vessel should do this; but the deed so exasperated the natives, it was declared the very next vessel which came into their power they would destroy. Accordingly, when the schooner—her name I know not—came along for oil, some three months after, she met with her sad fate. Sho anchored outside the reef. The next morning her decks were crowded by natives, and, at a given signal, they began their bloody work. It is said the captain was cut into two parts, aifji also the mate, thus inflicting double aunishmegt, if possible, for the Chiefs who were killed. Shortly after the vessel was|fired and plundered of all that was thought valuable. The native who informed me said great quantities of money were found. You have published in the Friend of July, 1853, a letter from Dr. Gulick, in which he says Capt. Hussey got from the natives over a thousand* dollars. I have no reason to doubt this, if the expression of a native of abundance can be relied upon. Another incident connected with this vessel may be worth relating. A quantity of powder—a cask full—was also taken. Some natives who had been to Strong's Island, knew its use; so one day, a large party having assembled in a native house to witness the firing of a gun, it did not go off nt first, and the chief taking his pipejo light the powder in the pan, fire was iv some way communicated to the cask, and all were blown up; ten were destroyed, and there were two at least who survived, but whose skins were so badly burned, that to this day they carry the mark with them. I have asked them the cause of it, and they said it was from the burn of powder which they got from one Cnpt. Terry. They have not wished evidently to let the truth be known. We are told by the natives, of a vessel which, some three or four years since, was wrecked upon the most northern island of this chain—Bigini is its native name, and known on charts as one of the Pescadores. Tbe reel is there said to sweep far out into the ocean, and a vessel making for the island would strike that reef, sunken as it is, some four miles from land. The natives say ihe captain made 4l boats," and all hands put to sea. Much plunder was gotten from the wreck. A large black dog, with a brass collar on his neck, is said to be on an island seventy-five miles to the northwest of Ebon. Nothing that I know of has ever been heard of the boats. The flag of the vessel is said to be with a chief on Mille. Are these facts worth anything in illustrating native life on islands ? They are but few. I could largely add to them, but you see how much paper-ground my pen has run over, and what simple thoughts it has traced out. Let me here pause. You have seen, no doubt, a coral island. There is not much to be seen, above water especially. The scenery is uniform, and to one who has resided upon a high volcanic island, with all its undulating surface, its dense perennial forests, its mountains, and their brows wreathed with clouds—its cascades, its chasms, its large choir of feathered songsters—the change to a residence upon our Atoll is great. I do not mean to say we are here destitute of all scenery; it is �, only the uniformity, with its scantiness, of which I speak. If at every turn, however, the same view presents itself, there is so much of quiet beauty in it, you are delighted ; you "drink and drink again" of it; for beauty, which, like gentle music, steals the very center of our being fiet 44 — Untwisting all the Units, that tie The hidden soul of harmony." Nothing, I often feel, can exceed the view, when the winds are almost asleep, ourlagoon presents. Association may add something, not alt. Here it lies, in mid-ocean, as m as a woodland lake, unswept by storm ; its shore of sand, brilliantly white, and sweeping a vast circle, is fringed with the majestic cocoaniit. Out upon its calm bosom is darting here and there the canoe, and beneath its crystal waters the numerous varieties of fish which there swarm, are distinctly seen playing about. But it is here in these waters that the main interest and beauty of a coral island centers. It is in those vast coral groves which lie beneath the green waters, for ages being reared, and reared by such tiny architects! Here their «t marvelousness lies—so vast, so all-enduring, so various in form and color, and yet wrought use the microscope we tbysee an insect This is wonderful.

It is his intention to employ the Richmond in the Atlantic whale-fishery from Fayal, under command of Captain Frank Sylva, of that port. She is to be refitted and provisioned here, and will convey a load of passengers, freight, etc., to Fayal, and there procure a crew and complete her preparations for whaling. Two other vessels are expected here this summer from Floras, to be fitted for the whale-fishery from the Western Islands. One of these vessels is now due here with passengers.

By Holms Read, Author of Christian Brahman, and late Missionary of the American Board in Bombay, India. Part Second. Hartford 1856. : This is a book that points in the right direction. The writer treats the facts and events of history, not as so many isolated and solitary links of a great chain, but as all connected together, being joined one to another. The limits of the work do not allow the author to go extensively into the subject of history in general, but he aims to show, succeeds most admirably in pointing out, le way in which God is overruling the events rhich are transpiring in the political world nd material universe, for the promotion of is great plan in working out the redemption of mankind. Some ten years ago, we recollect to have read the first part of this work. The eighth chapter of the first part, is devoted to the Sandwich Islands, showing or illustrating the Providential events leading to the introduction of Christianity among the aborigines of these islands. 'The thirty-first chapter of the second part, treats of the coral formations of the Pacific, showing how God, in the progressive work of creation, has been gradually preparing islands for the accommodation or habitation of man. These allusions to the books, will indicate their contents and the course of reasoning which theauthor has pursued. It is interesting to notice, among various writers of the past and present day, a leaning to the grand and sublime idea that God's works of creation and providence harmonize with that of Redemption. History and science, so far from really throwing doubt, over Divine revelation, do illustrate Ind We have read these discourses with much delight. We take more interest in reading the past history of that growing State, than in keeping up our acquaintance with current events. The religious and other changes which occurred in California, in 1549, and during the following years, are among the most remarkable and striking in the history of nations. Our interest in those times is deepened from the fact that we were permitted to be an eye-witness of stirring events in the summer of 1849 and winter of 1851. We saw the tents and shanties which sheltered the people—worshiped with them in the school-house and " coun"-room, before they built their noble, spacious and costly church edifices. We shall not soon forget a Sabbath spent in Stockton, when the keeper of a bar-room on the deck of an old hulk, in one of the sloughs, kindly removed his decanters and allowed us to open our Bible upon his counter; neither can we forget our visit at Coloma, Mormon Island, Sacramento and Benicia, before ministers of the gospel had become located in those places. We shall esteem it a favor if any of our ministerial brethren in California will send us 44 Anniversary Discourses," 44 Historical Addresses," or 41 Decade Sermons." Religion in.

(Published by Her Majesty's Command.) Published by the American Tract Society, 150 Nassau street, New York. This is a remarkable sermon, and its history is deserving a permanent record. During a trip of Queen Victoria to Scotland, she spent a Sabbath in a country parish, where she heard a good Scottish sermofl. So much pleased was she with the discourse, that she requested a copy for publication. Once published, it has had an immense circulation in Great Britain. Thousands upon thousands of copies have been scattered abroad. It has been republished in the United States, and now appears among the standnrd publications of the American Tract Society. A gentleman lately from South America —the Rev. Mr. Collins—informs us that a young Scotchman in Valparaiso was so much pleased with the sermon, that he procured a beautiful translation of it into Spanish, and has scattered it broad-cast through Chile, having spent $500 in the good work. Most gladly should we give it an insertion inourcolumns, if its length would permit. Our readers, for the present, must be content with the following extracts, but we shall request the Tract Society to send out a large supply for gratuitous circulation. "Not slothful in business ; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord." Rom. xii: 11. — 44 To combine business with religion, to keep up a spirit of serious piety amidst the stir and distraction of a busy and active life, this is one of the most difficult parts of a Christian's trial in this world. It is comparatively easy to be religious in the church, to collect our thoughts and compose our feelings, and enter, with an appearance of propriety and decorum, into the offices of religious worship amidst the quietude of the Sabbath, and within the still and sacred precincts of the house of prayer. But to be religious in the world, to be pious and holy and earnest-minded in the counting-room, the manufactory, the market-place, the field, the farm—to carry out our good and solemn thoughts and feelings into the throng and thoroughfare of daily life, this is the great difficulty of our Christian calling. No man not lost to all moral influence can help feeling his worldly passions calmed, and some measure of seriousness stealing over his mind, when engaged in the performance of the more awful and sacred rites.of religion; but the atmosphere of the domestic circle, the exchange, the street, the city's throng, amidst coarse work and cankering cares and toils, is a very different atmosphere from that of a communion-table. * * * The text speaks as if the most diligent attention to our worldly business were not by any means incompatible with spirituality of mind and serious devotion to the service of God. It seems to imply that religion is not so much a duty, as a something that has to do with all duties ; not a tax to be paid periodically and got rid of at other times, but a ceaseless, all-pervading, inexhaustible tribute to Him who is not only the object of religious worship, but the end of our very life and being. It suggests to us the idea that piety is not for Sundays # # only, but for all days. * 44 Religion is not a perpetual moping over good books; religion is not even prayer, praise, holy ordinances. These are necessary to religion—no man can be religious withous them. But religion, I repeat, is mainly and chiefly the glorifying God amid the duties and trials of the world—the guiding our course amid the adverse winds aud currents of temptation, by the starlight of duty and the compass of Divine truth—the bearing us manfully, wisely, courageously, for the honor of Christ our great Leader in the conflict of life. Away, then, with the notion that ministers and devotees may be religious, but that a religious and holy life is impracticable in the rough and busy world. Nay, rather, believe me, that is the proper scene, the peculiar and appropriate field for religion; the place in which to prove that piety is not a dream of Sundays and solitary hours; that it can bear the light of day; that it can wear well amid the rough jostlings, the hard struggles, the coarse contacts of common life—the place, in one word, to �prove how possible it is for a man to be at once 4 not slothful in business,' and • fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.' * 44 To all, then, who really wish to lead such a life, let me suggest that the first thing to be done, that without which all other efforts are worse than vain, is heartily to devote themselves to God through Christ Jesus. Much as has been said of the infusion of religious principle and motive into our worldly work, there is a preliminary advice of greater importance still—that we be religious. Life comes before growth. The soldier must enlist before he can serve. In vain are all directions how to keep the fire ever burning on the altar, if first it be not kindled. No religion can be genuine, no goodness can be constant or lasting, that springs not, as its primary source, from faith in Jesus Christ. To know Christ as my Savior; to come with all my guilt and weakness to him in whom trembling penitence never fails to find a friend ; to cast myself at his feet in whom all that is sublime "in divine holiness is softened, though not obscured, by all that is beautiful in human tenderness ; and believing in that love stronger than death which, for me and such as me, drained the cup of untold sorrows, and bore without a murmur the bitter curse of sin—to trust my soul for time and eternity into his hands, this is the beginning of true religion. And it is the reverential love with which the believer must ever look to Him to whom he owes so much, that constitutes the mainspring of the religion of daily life. Selfishness may prompt to a formal religion, natural susceptibility may give rise to a fitful one, but for a life of constant fervent piety amid the world's cares snd toils, no motive is sufficient save one—self-devoted love to Christ. * * * * 44 Carry religious principle into common life, and common life will lose its transitoriness. 4 The world passeth away.' • The things that are seen are temporal.' Soon business, with all its cares and anxieties, the whole 4 unprofitable stir and fever of the world,' will be to us a thing of the past. But religion does something better than sigh and muse over the perishableness of earthly things; it finds in them the seed of immortality. No work done for Christ perishes. No action that helps to mould the deathless mind of a saint of God is ever lost. Live for Christ in the world, and you carry out with you into eternity all of the results of the world's business that are worth the keeping. The river of life sweeps on, but the gold grains if held in solution are left behind, deposited in the holy heart. 4 The world passeth away, and'the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.'" * Morals of a Heathen. —If the anecdotes of Plato that have come down to us are authentic, they give him a character that will shame many who enjoy the light and grace of the gospel.

For a long time the necessity of a Public Hospital has been seriously felt in Honolulu. This necessity has been felt by foreigners as well as natives. While.Honolulu, for more than a quarter ot7"a century, has not been without its hospitals for American and British seamen, still thfose have not fully met the necessities of thej public. While many have felt kindly disposed towards the entererecting and sustainprise, the great ing such establishments has been hitherto an Even that, it is now confiden/ny hoped, will be overcome. Our youtjffful King and Queen, taking a faview of the subject, have been pleased to take the initiative steps. His Majesty, rightly imagining that no one could more iafable successfully than himself collect funds for this object, with subscription in hand, and accompanied by his private secretary, goes forth among his people. The subscriptions obtained, as now published, ore the happy results of this effort of His Majesty. Such an effort among his — : : will be preliminary steps taken for organizing a cor- community. poration to manage the funds collected, and Free-will Offerings. for carrying out the undertaking.

Facts in regard to the genuine usefulness of the early missionaries to these islands are coming to light, which proclaim in trumpettones that Hawaiians maybecome Christians. The social position andstanding of these converts may not haye been among the " upper ten," still that is a matter of small account. The time has not arrived for the inhabitants of our globe to hnve their true moral position assigned them in the universe of accountable and intelligent beings. " Many that arc first shall be last, and the last shall be first," declures our Savior. In another portion of our columns will be found an intensely interesting account of a Sandwich Islander taken from a raft in the mid-Indian-Ocean, by the Rev. William Ellis, formerly an English missionary nt these Islands. The residence of Mr. Ellis in Honolulu was from Feb. 4, 1823, to 18th August, 1824. It was during this period that he made the "Tour of Hawaii," an account of which was published, and obtained a wide circulation both in England and the United States. That volume has been out of print for many years, but it is really one of the most interesting works ever published upon the Sandwich Islands. In IS4-1, it was our privilege to make the tour of the same island, and Mr. Ellis' book was our guide, which we found to be most accurate and entertaining, as we rode on horse-back, sailed in canoes, or tramped on foot over the the rough clinkers. In our columns will also be found another brief account of a Sandwich Island sailor, who died in the triumphs of a Christian's faith. He too was cruising far away in the Indian ocean, on a passage from Australia to Calcutta. Read " Bread upon the waters." Such incidents as these speak volumes in favor of the cause of Foreign Missions. They rebuke the sceptic, reprove the lakewarm friends of the cause, and encourage those who are conscientiously laboring to obey the command, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." t Editor's Table. The following publications have been re, ceived at the Friend office. In acknowledging \he same, we would express our thanks to those parties who have forwarded them. If our limits were not so narrow, we should most gladly make quotations for the benefit of our readers: Poverty: —Three essays for the season, by .Charles P. Krauth. Published at Httsburrrh, jPenn,, U. S. A., by W. S. Haven. This is on exceedingly interesting pamphlet of 48 pages, in which the Perpetuity, the Causes npd the Relief of Poverty are ably discussed.

The Work of God in Philadelphia, A. D. 1858; prepared by the Young Men's Christian Association.. It is a pamphlet of 83 pages, giving an account of the great awakening in that city. This is a carefully prepared document, and its general circulation will tlo immense good. That city has been remarkably favored during the gracious outpouring of the Spirit upon the American Zion. The following paragraph alluding to therevival in that city, we copy from a secular paper—the Philadelphia Ledger : "The most noticeable feature of the present religious movement is, that it springs up . River, and other portions of their colonies. The island, dwellings and improvements were tendered as a free gift to the Pitcairners on condition that they removed thither. Favorable as were these terms, some of the people have become dissatisfied. A few days since a whale-ship reported that seventeen had returned to Pitcairn's Island. The officer of the whale-ship who made this statement, had landed upon the island and spent two nights with those who had returned. He reported that about forty more would soon arrive. This will explain allusions to the subject of removal relerred to in the following letter, which we have just received, but dated before the party left Norfolk Island. We regret that a previous letter which he had written has not, as yet, come to hand : Norfolk Island, Dec. 27, 1858. directly among the people themselves.

The former suffers minds, and fits them better to grapple with more, I believe, from want of food to which the cares of the day." they have been accustomed, than a change Pitcairn's and Norfolk Islands. The reading public has been informed of the praiseworthy effort of the British Government to remove the inhabitants of Pitcairn's Island to Norfolk Island. The reason assigned for removal was the very limited amount of arable land upon the island. Pitcairn is a very small island, only four or five miles in circumference. A whale-boat can be rowed around it in one hour. It is high and rocky. Not one half of the actual area is capable of cultivation. The inhabitants had increased to nearly 200 when the removal took place, about two years ago. Norfolk Island is situated in the South Pacific, lat. 29 S., and long. 167° E. It is about four miles long and three wide. Many years ago, it was selected as a Penal Settlement for the most desperate criminals in England or the British Australian colonies. For many years, criminals were sent thi(her. They were there employed in building houses, prisons, a break-water, and every necessary public building or road. The discipline maintained is reported to have been severe. The expense of keeping up the establishment and other reasons induced the British Government to remove all the prisoners to Swan « of climate. I next give youVsome information that I suppose will make yV>u smile, as many humpbacks frequent our waters in calving time. We bought two boat?, lines, Arc.—we named one boat " Who'd ha>e thought it"—and as we have plenty of boilers on the island, we commenced whaling, and-~saved 130 barrels of oil, which I think, as our\yvhaleinen had scarcely ever seen a whale, was pretty good. And I am in hopes, if too many, do not leave for Pitcairn's, we shall do better next season. And now for Pitcairn's. A great many wish to return there, and I suppose if opportunity offers, will go. On the second of this month, two families left, namely, Matthew Young and his wife Margaret, (the widow of Matthew McCoy, who was killed by the discharge of the Bounty's gun) and family of six children—three others remain here (two of them, I believe, mean to return next opportunity),and Moses Young nnd his wife Albina and five children. I expect next April at least twenty more will leave, as an American whaling captain has promised to give them a passage—the family of Thursday, October, Christian and relatives. Those who left went in a brig of 100 tons, belonging to Van Diemcn's Land, called the Mary Ann. The owner engaged to take 60 adults at j£lo per head, and over 80, old and young, engaged to go, but it was such hard parting that the contract was broken, and it was decided that all should remain, and we agreed to give the �owner half the sum for the detention of his vessel, but he not feeling easy at taking this sum without doing something for it, it was concluded that some should go, and the two aforesaid families embarked accordingly. I send you this, perfavor of Capt. Murdock, but as he is not certain of touching at Honolulu before the fall, I do not like to send you any pines at present. I send you a manuscript chart of Norfolk Island, which 1 trust you wtll accept as a token of respect in lieu of a letter, and the first opportunity that offers I will not forget the pines. We have three ships here at present. The Nassau, Minerva, Swain, 1,400 sperm, and Sea Bird, merchantman, 72 ds. from S. Francisco, laden with spars, &c, bound to Sydney. We have had but three deaths since our arrival—one a child by accident, the other a child we did not expect to live when we left Pitcairn's, and the last a young woman, of consumption. I cannot inform you of the number of births, but I believe they are more prolific here than at Pitcairn's—and -the last eight born are all females. I believe we number 212 at present on this island. My kind respects to Mrs. Damon and family; to my kind friend General Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Janion, and all kind friends at Honolulu, not forgetting Mr. Andrew Johnstone. It may happen that I may again see Pitcairn's and have a better opportunity to correspond with you, but if not, Reverend Sir, I shall not forget you, and ever remain Yours sincerely, John Buffett, Senr. Passage of old missionary Packet from Boston to Honolulu. More than thirty years ago the American Board of Missions sent a small packet for the use of the mission, at the Sandwich Islands. She was commanded by James Hnnnewell, Esq., now owner of ships Syren, Polynesia, and other vessels. In a late letter from Mr. Hunnewell, we met with the following paragraphs : " The long passage of ship Syren, (extreme clipper of 1,064 tons register) seven months, has led me to look over my journalof passage out in the schooner Missionary Packet of 39J tons register, which I find was nine months from Boston to Lahaina, where I arrived in October, 1826. During this passage, with my decks but one foot above water, I was compelled to lay to many days with a fair wind, and during the nine months I anchored upwards of thirty times in upwards of twenty different ports and harbors ; in a number of the harbors, I was compelled by stress of weather to return and anchor more than once. " I had 68 days to Rio, where I spent, repairing, 15 days ; thence to the Straits of Le Mair and Cape Horn, 23 do.; off Cape Horn 9 days, and bore away and tried for the Straits of Magellan 9 days; 18 do. in one harbor in Faulkland Islands in June and July, 43 do.; in the Straits of Magellan, 17th July to 21st August, say 35 do.; thence to Valparaiso 11 days, and delayed there one day—l 2do.; thence to Honolulu via Lahaina, 47 do.; at Honolulu ended this memorable passage. and truly yours, " Very respectfully".Tames Hunnkwell." 1859. Americanizing England. Mr. Bright having been accused of an attempt to Americanize England by extending the right of suffrageand introducing other reforms which have their pattern in this country, in a late speech at Manchester he made the following speech : "But I protest against our being shut up to tuke nothing from America but cotton and rice and tobacco. (Laughter and applause.) And, in fact, we do take a good many other things. lam told that my friend, Mr. Piatt, ■ member of a very eminent (inn, has a wonderful machine from America with which to make bricks. We know that the agriculture of this country has been greatly advantaged by the importation of reaping machines from America. (Hear, hear.) We know that these persons who are going about so apprehensive of a revolution have particular reasons to be delighted with America, because they have received from that country the invention of the revolver. (Hear, and laughter.) At this moment in the Government smallarms establishment at Enfield, they have patent machinery for making gun-stocks. They can turn out a gun-stock, I am told, in 22 minutes fit for the barrel. What a dreadful thing to think of it! (Laughter.) And 1 am sure that Mr. Miles, if his protectionist principles have not long ago deserted him, will be horrified that they have actually brought Americans over to show the English how to work them. (Continued laughter.) But there is much more behind. The Times, the Morning Star, the Daily Telegraph, and the leading newspapers in this district, the Manchester Daily Examiner, with, I believe, two or three of the widely circulated London weekly papers, are all printed on machines which were either made in America, or, being made in this country, were made on the American patent. (Hear, hear, and applause.) And further than this, don't you remember that the West Enders, including even ladies, have been subscribing ten guineas apiece to invite a clever farmer from Ohio to show them how to tame a horse? (Great laughter.) You may delight yourself with their charming poets —with Bryant and Whittier, and Longfellow; you may interest and instruct yourself by their great historians—Bancroft and Prescott and Motley. But if you ask how free popular institutions are working among your own countrymen on the American Continent, you are denounced as unpatriotic, and, at any rate, treasonable to the House of Lords. (Hear, hear, and laughter)." Bread Upon the Waters. It has floated back from the Sandwich Isl- ands in a very singular manner, and is found again in the treasury of the American Board. Some months since a letter was received at the Missionary House, from Capt. Wilson, (commander of the ship James Brown,) together with the deed of a piece of land, the gift of a sailor who had been connected with that vessel, and was taken sick soon after the vessel left Australia on a voyage to Calcutta.* The captain furnishes the following interesting narrative : " Three or four days before my arrival at , Legislature of • The title was confirmed to the Board bynotthe of great Connecticut, and the property, which ralue, has b»™ sold. was Thesailor's dying »ijh dying gift *ss made s-ailalt!-. intrinsic »»s gratified ha 35 THE FRIEND, MAT, Calcutta, the sick man sent for me, and taking a key which he always carried around his neck, he requested me to get these papers from his chest. After taking them in his hands, he said : ' I believe I am about to die. I wish you to take these and give them to the Board of Foreign Missions ; fori have no friends or relatives in the world, and they were my friends in my earlier days.' Thinking this rather a singular request for a poor Indian to make, I gleaned from him, at intervals, the following history : That he was a native of the Sandwich Islands, was one of the first converts to Christianity, and came to the United States many years ago with one of the missionaries ; that he resided somewhere in Connecticut, in this missionary's family, for the purpose of getting an education ; that he then ran away, and had been roaming about the world as a sailor and whaler ever since. " After making these statements he swooned away, and was almost lifeless for nearly half an hour. When he rallied a little, I asked him if he had anything to say, or any request to make. He said, Yes, I have ' one. Get me my book, and read me the place I have marked.' It commences When I can read my title clear ' To mansions in the nkies.' : 1 read it to him, and he attempted to sing the same, until he was quite exhausted. After while he rallied again, when I told him I thought he had but a short time to live, and asked him if he was prepared to leave this world and appear before his Maker. He shook his head, and said, ' No, not quite yet.' After remaining quiet for some time, all at once he rallied and exclaimed: 'Joy, joy, joy!' and clapped his hands. I then asked him if he was ready to go, and he replied : Yes, lam ready now. I have seen my Saviour, and he is ready to receive me. lam so happy.' He then requested me to sing the same hymn, but not being a singer myself, I called two or three of the sailors-to sing it to him; which they did, he joining with them with all his strength, clapping his hands and shouting ' Halelujah.' After a little while he said to me, ' O, captain, I am so happy! lam ready to die; but I want to live, one day longer to enjoy my happia ' ness.' " — J. of Miss. John Bull on Yankee Soldiers.—The following tribute to our American naval and military skill, from the London Times, is, I think, worthy of perusal " England may certainly learn something from the administration of the United States. The Americans have an excellent judgment in military and naval affairs, which they handle in a spirit always liberal and generally sagacious* It was so from the very beginning of their history. They never passed through a period of infancy or routine, but took the field—when they did take it—in a fashion at once superior to the old fashioned belligerents. They have the merit of anticipating even the French of the Republic in discarding everything like precedent, and going straight by the shortest cut to the mark before them." : The True Course.—So live with men as if God saw you ; so speak to God as if men heard you. �36 THE FRIEND, MAY, 1859. THE FRIEND, MAY 14, 1850 "An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure" EVbilc cordially advocating the building support of hospitals among natives and igners, and otherwise doing all in «mr power for the sick and suffering, we still feel that, after all, aid is thereby rendered to persons who ought never to be supported by the Many, perhaps a majority of those eking hospital aid and shelter, medi(iine and nursing, have no business there. They have been brought thither by their guilty and imprudence. A cured man is it what he was before his excesses took hint the hospital. The way of the transgresr is hard, and we warn all rlnttfH from ing that way. Let any reasonable man rcfully examine the various causes which : operating t;» bring our fellow beings to isery, suffering and death, and he trill very on learn that it is as highly important to prevent men, if possible, from ruining th ■' health, as to beat them when i-it!; and dis- tiblic.

Men consume too much food a;;d too little pure aiK They take too medicine and too Utile exerci>e." We hold that multitudes die before nature designed they should depart. They ought not to die so soon. While admitting there may be much sickness that cannot he prevented, we do know there is mush that might and ought to be prevented. In order to prevent the need of a hospital, we hope our city authorities will look well to the purity of our city precincts, and a rigid enforcement of those laws for the suppression of drunkenness and licentiousness. Odd Fellows' Celebration. The members of this Association improved the occasion of celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Order in the United States, by laying the Corner Stone of a Hall in Honolulu. If our neighbors of the Commercial and Polynesian had not published # full report of the interesting exercises on that occasion, we should take pleasure in spreading before our readers a similar statement. The attendance at Fort Street Church was very large. The Key. E. Corwin preached an able and well-timed discourse. He drew the lines, or defined the metes and bounds of Odd Fellowship, Masonry, and kindred associations, showing their relationship to the church. So far as we can learn, Odd Fellows have accepted of the position assigned for the present our readers must be content with the following paragraphs from the Sci- their associations, and most certainly, on the part of the church, we are ready to accept of his remarks as defining the church's position. In behalf, then, of Christianity, we thank Bro. Corwin for that day's labor. We think the sermon well calculated to promote good fellowship among neighbors! Our readers will understand our use of the term neighbors. It is of the highest importance that among all benevolent associations there should exist a friendly feeling and kindly sympathy. No one thing will promote a better feeling than for each to keep within its proper sphere, and work within the limits defined by their constitutions. The sermon has been published in both of the papers alluded to. The exercises at the laying of the corner stone were highly appropriate. The address of Mr. Durham we thought peculiarly felicitous and happy. The singing and all the arrangements were highly appropriate, betokening good taste and a right understanding of the way such ceremonies should bo conduct! d. The Hall, when finished, will cost :i 10,000. and be an ornament to the city. We rejoice to witness the laying of a corner stone tj a benevolent institution. En long we hope to witness a similar ceremony connected with the new hospital. Such enterprises are the offspring of noble and generous inipul es, bespeaking a benevolent and Christian people. entific American: " We are having a great many inquiries for sewing machines from various parts of the country, and as we cannot conveniently reply to them all by mail, we have thought it proper to state our opinion in regard to them in this public manner. We have used Wilson's patent, manufactured by the Wheeler & Wilson Manufacturing Company, No. 505 Broadway, and we can say in regard to it, that it is without a rival. It is simple, not easily put out of order when in proper hands, and in point of effectiveness and finish, no other machine stands ahead of it. We state this much in regard to the excellent machine, upon our own responsibility. "The company have made and sold during the last three months, 4700 machines, and are now producing and selling 100 per day. They vary in price from 850 to SlOO, nnd the highest priced ones sell best. In their business there is over 8500,000 invested, and they keep 400 men regularly employed manufacturing; machines. The system pursued is the same ns that adopted in the manufacture of arms, every piece is made to a guage, and consequently the parts of any machine may be transposed with those of another machine of the same size ; or should an accident occur, the broken part can he immediately replaced on application at the office. There is not an establishment in the country where stitching of any kind is required in which the sewing machine is not employed, and there are few private families in which it is not an acknowledged article of furniture." ■■ hIatsCome!

Whilst acknowledging your courtesy I wish to take this first public occasion to express thealmost unspeakable satisfaction with which I have found my efforts successful beyond my hopes. It is due to the subscribers as a body, that I should bear witness to the readiness, not less than the liberality, with which they have met my advances. When you return to your several places, let the fact be made known, that in Honolulu the sick man has a friend in everybody.

I'iikoi dictateil the following sketch of his life, which we translate from the Hac Hawaii. [Comm. *• I was born in the month of lkuwa (January) 1804. at Wnimea, Kattni. I conliuueil to live there until Liholiho came to Kaitni, on the 22cl of July, 18'J'J. There wis great i'eastine on the occasion of the arrival ofLiholiho and the chiefs in his company, on board the vessel called the Okikowali." The feasting took place in a house known as Puilihale." After eating, the King called to Kanmualii,—"Oti, Knuraualii, there is plenty of poi and fish at Kauai; —one thing inly is lacking—tobacco." The chief answered—"Tho tobasOO also is ready." He then culled me, saying, I'iikoi, go and do as I bid you." 1 consented, and a pipe having been lighted, w»i given to me, together with a tobacco box and a pipelighter, and I was directed to take them to Liholiho. Oh, the Heavens, here is the The cliier called out, tobacco, and a servant with it." Then it was that 1 became a pipe-lighter; that was the first, commencement of my going with Liholiho to lite. My rel»tions nnd fiienilH made a great lamentation,but some said, We have M business to Will, for he is given entirely to the King." I thin went round the island of Kauai with the King ami afterwards came to Oahu with him. At Wtlanae, I ran away in order to go with Kanmualii nt Waialua. Ho ordered me to go back, saying tii.it 1 must look to the King for my siihsistance hereafter, nor desert him on any account. I accordingly returned, and continued to live with Liholiho until he went to England, and never wanted for anything to eat, drink or wear. After the King went to England I lived with Kuhalaia, and on his appointment as governor of Kauai, 1 accompanied him thither. After the rebellion of Humehuiiie in 1834, we returned to Oahu, and on the death of Kahnlaia, in 18Jti, the late King sent for me, saying You belonged to Liholiho; why do you not come to live with DM.'" I said I have conic." The late King was considerate in regard to hia servants. Several years later, the King gave me the charge of lands on < biliu. This duty I executed both to the satisfaction of the King nnd somewhat to my own profit. Subsequently, when llaalilio wentto England, I received his duties to perform. About this time I was made a Member of the House of Nobles, nnd soon after, a Member also of tho King's l'rivy Council. I also received from the King a very Important duty—that of superintending the division of lands between the King and the chiefs at Haliimaile. When I undertook this duty, some of the chiefs said that they did not wish for me to divide the lands for them. I made reply to them that if they would not take my division, they must lose all their lands, from Hawaii to Kauai. These were strong words, but I spoke confidently, well knowing that I had ample authority from the King. Icr -<ued to unlivo pleasantly anil happily under tho btil he left us on the 16th December, 180. Under His present Majesty, Kamehameha v., whom God has graciously placed over us, I have enjoyed all my former rights of nobility, and my family and myself have enjoyed the fullest protection. May God preserve the King, and graut him a long and prosperous reign. I have written the foregoing in great weakness, for the purpose of showing my countrymen how 1 io»e to my present rank and position, under the protection of the King, from the humble station of a pipe-ligbter.

Mr. Ellis, is descriptive of a singular and delightful incident which occurred on the homeward voyage after his last visit to Madagascar. Our friend embarked in the England steamer from Mauritius on the lJ3th January, 1857. On the 21st of the same month, after the subsidence of a severe gale, the vessel fell in with a floating raft, and was the providential instrument in saving from a watery grave two individuals, one of them an American Captain and the other a Sandwich Islander ; but the sequel shall be told by Mr. Ellis •' In a few moments I heard the cry A wreck! a wreck!' and hastening to the poop, saw on the larboard bow a small flag or sijrnal of blue cloth, distinct among the tops of the waves, and about two miles off. In a few minutes more I discerned a sort of raft, with two figures, a white man and a man of color, sitting upon it, up to the waist in the sea. " The flag of the England had been hoisted —symbol of help and deliverence—to signal to the castaways that they were seen, and the ship's course was altered. Meanwhile one of the boats was lowered, and manned by five stout, willing hands, was pushed ofT towards the raft. While the oars rattled with each stroke, and the light boat seemed to spring over the waves, with our tall, stout, second officer, Mr. Peters, standing with the steeroar in the stern, every eye on board was stretched towards the same point; thesailors leaning over forecastle and forerigging; the officers and passengers straining over the bulwarks of the poop ; ladies with theirchildren all gazing with the most intense interest as our boat approached theraft. No one moved not a word was uttered even breathing seemed difficult; but when the first man, and then the second—stiff, benumbed, and swollen with the water—had been safely lifted into the boat, the pent-up feeling found utterance in the almost simultaneous exclamation, They are saved !' which was heard from stem to stern along the side of our ship. Some persons near me wept, others seemed ready to faint under emotions of sympathy and : ' : : ' joy- " Our boat was soon alongside, and, swollen, bruised and bleeding, the men were helped over the ship's side into the cabin. Not wishing to add to the pressing crowd, I remained on deck. A few moments afterwards I heard the captain call, Mr. Ellis ! here is a Sand' and speak to him.' I wich Islander. Come went into the cabin, where the two men were sitting on the deck. The white man was the oaptain of a ship which had been upset in the violent gale two days before, when every one on board, twenty-two in number, except the two justrescued, had perished. The islander, a young man, was one ot the crew; and, having made no answer to the questions addressed to him by our humane captain, I had been called down. "The man was sitting on the deck, his head bent down, and his long, black, and dripping hair hanging over his eye* and , 1859. down his face. Looking at him, I said, ' Aroha earohaino, aroha' —salutation, dear friend, affection. The man lifted up his head, swept with his hand his long, black hair to one side of his forehead, and looking earnestly at me, like one to whom consciousness was but just returning, and startled by the sound of his native language, returned my salutation. In answer ton few inquiries, he told me he wns a native of Oahu, the island on which I had at one time resided. He said he was up aloft furling sail, when the ship suddenly went over, and all in an instant were plunged into the deep; that there were other islanders on board, but they soon sank. The doctor of our ship then gave the men a little suitable refreshment, and they were wrapped in flannels and put to bed. Captain .Dundas took the raft, a very fragile affair, and brought it to England, intending to deposit it in the Crystal Palace. "The next day I went down to the berth where the Sandwich Islander was lying, and found him very much revived. After conversing- with him about the wreck, and the loss of all his shipmates, I said, 'God has very mercifully preserved you. You must remember His goodness and pray to Him.' He said, ' I did pray to Him in the night, when I was in the sea. I did pray to God in the morning, when I saw the captain ; I prayed that we might be saved. And God sent away death, and sent your ship, and we are here.' I said, 'I am glad you prayed to God. You must be thankful to God, and serve him, and love Him. You must try to praise God in your future life.' " I then repeated the first two lines of a hymn, among the first ever composed in the language of the Sandwich Islands, when I was a Missionary in that country. The lines are these :— that W. L. Green, Esq., has, with the conMajesty, undertaken the charge of the British Consulate until further advices. We understand, from those who have frequently seen Mr- Nicolas during his illness, that amongst the symptoms of his distressing malady, there never was the faintest indication of that perversion of the moral sentiments which in medical jurisprudence is considered to be one of its most certain diagnostics. On the contrary, their Majesties, the King and Queen, the other members of the Royal Family, the prosperity of these islands, the welfare of the Hawaiian people, the high judicial officers and ministers ol the King, all his personal friends of both sexes, and his physician, were the subjects on which he constantly dwelt, in the most extravagant terms of confidence, affection and generosity. From these and other favorable circumstances, it is hoped that he will recover completely before he reaches Portsmouth.

JULY 18, I*•->!> Marriage. TaShbnedth Takixu the Bible for our guide, it appears, from an examination of the second chapter of the book of Genesis, that God promulgated two great laws for the obedience and observance of the human family. The fust law set apart one-seventh part of time as holy. We do not find that God ever has repealed this law by any subsequent enactment, but has, on numerous occasions, re-enacted and confirmed it, and especially on Mt. Sinai, where, amid thundering* and lightnings, He commanded as follows " Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy," etc. So far as the teachings and example of our Savior bore upan the Sabbath, they reconsecrated oneseventh part of time, redeeming it from Pharisaic desecration and pollution. One-seventh part of time we regard as now belonging to God, and to be sacredly devoted to religious purposes. Aside from motives of a religious nature, we are fully of opinion that the laws of all Christian nations should enforce the proper pubiic observance of the day. The good of society, public morals, the interests of the state, domestic happiness, and private virtue, will all be advanced by the strict observance of the day. The argument for legislative enactments regulating the Sabbath, to our own mind, is clear and unquestionable. While there should be no law of California requiring the lawless and infidel portion of the community to attend Calvary Church, or any other church, there should ba | : forbidding fh 'in assembling in Musical Roll, md disturbing a religious assembly and the public peace. The other great law of Paradise app'rturned to the marriage inftifuun, clearly allowing every man to mirry 0113 woman, anil DO in >re. We do rot da over from cur reading of either the Old or New Testament, that GoJ has ever re, ealc I this law, or that. aI CONTEXTS For Jul.. IS.'iO. IN)!). iw he has ever forbidden any class of men, even the clergy, from marrying. There is no such prohibition upon the Divine Statute Book, neilher any command, to take more than oie wife. Taking the Bible, and the Bible alone, as our rule of faiib and practice, we cannot but regard all those as guilty of trifling with the Word of God, who endeavor to argue away die observance of the Sabbath, or alter in any way the divine law in regard to marriage. The evil consequences of such trifling, will sooner or later appear whenever attempted. Wherever individuals or communities can be brought to "remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy," and sacredly observe all those laws relating to the marriage institution, as indicated in the second chapter of Genesis, there, private virtue, domestic happiness, social order, public peace, and universal prosperity, will as naturally follow, as any natural effect must follow the cause producing it. in"GotaIbvHeuoimt,God." Nothing is more common than when aid is sought in behalf of some son or daughter of suffering, sickness and sorrow, to be repulsed by the reply, " I have given in so many in- stances, and found my charities unacknowledged or ungratefully received, that lam determined to stop giving." This may be very true. Our sinful nature is wont to show itself in the form of ingratitude to both our Heavenly Father and our kind earthly bene- factors. But shall the stream of benevolence cease to flow on this account? Shall the Christian cease to act the Christian's part, because a fellow-sinner is ungrateful ? Such 49 }.o|b Seri N.

But is the Catholic stand-point the right position for correct observation ? Perhaps we might look with more favor upon the doctrine of the celibacy of the clergy, if the Catholic clergy of other lands had always sustained as good a reputation for morals as that enjoyed by the Catholic priests of the Sandwich Islands. Not wishing however to enter into an extensive discussion of this subject, for ourselves, we are quite willinnto fallow a fair interpretation of the Bible upon this point, fully believing with the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews, that "marriage is honorable in all," not excepting the clergy ; and furthermore, we are quite contant to follow the example of St. Peter, the first Pope, (whose orthodoxy our Catholic aeighbors will not dispute,) who* was unquestionably a married man! • �50 TOE FRIEND, JIILV, [CorreipoDdence or the I'riend.] Catholic Teachings among Hawaiians. — Sir: Our Catholic neighbors of the French Mission ore zealously, if not laudably, engaged in publishing a series of Hawaiian Tracts, which are being sown broadcast over the land. They are controversial essays, embracing almost every subject on which they differ from the Protestants. The one now before us, is the third of a series on the " Acts observed in the Church of the Lord," and is entitled, " The celibacy of priests in the Church of the Lord— me ka Virgine ana." Of the meaning of the latter clausv, Ji is one of the mysteries of thechurch. We propose to translate a few brief extracts, to instruct the English reader into what is taught by Holy Church to the native Hawaiians, as well as for his own edification. We would premise that the idea of celibacy in a priest is one of utter indifference to a protestant mind, and is only to be determined by the party concerned, by his own free choice. But to the extracts : On the bottom of thu first page, p. 17 of the series, we read, "0 men of Hawaii, we nowhere read in the writings of the Apostles, that Peter landed at Aritioch with wife and children ; it was never heard that John had a wife and in his going to dwell at Ephesus ; or that ~*au|, with his wife and children landed at''"'li|etus," etc. Such is not the case with your Calvanc missionaries, j We read in the Hawaiian papers, Mr. liannded at Kauai with wife and children ; Mr. M.

Where is the like of this among the Apostles ? " —p. 18. " But this is the plain truth. In reading the writings of the Apostles from beginning to end, there is not one word of a missionary having a wife, or leading about with him a family."—p. 18. in the desire of those Calvanistic ionaries to reconcile their position with that of the Apostles, while taking wives, they have falsely perverted the words of Paul, who says, ' Have we not a right to take a female Bister (vahine taituahine) as have the other Apostles, as the brethren of our Lord, and Cenhas?' 1 Cor., 9: 5." These female sisters of the like charachave ever been in the Church of Rome.

From the foregoing extracts, and much Doubtless every man possesses the right to more of the same sort untranslated, we derive exercise his own religious opinions; and to a the following doctrines of the true Apostolic religious mind the motive to observe the SabChurch : bath as a divine law is sufficiently strong . : .. �TIIE without the sanctions of penal statutes. I am no friend to religious intolerance. No man is accountable to his fellows for his religious opinions. He may neglect every mode of religious worship, if he please, and legislators cannot interfere, so long as he disturbs not others in the exercise of their religious acts. I go further, and maintain that the law of the Sabbath enjoins no positive act of religious worship whatever; it simply commands the sanctification of the day by abstaining from labor, except acts of necessity nnd mercy. The law of the Sabbath, as given to Moses, and explained by our Savior in his answer to the Pharisees, is one of a moral code, designtiS to be perpetual; and it is mainly in view of the question as one of a moral nature, that I would argue the validity of the Sabbath law, and the duty of legislatures to give it their sanction. 1. All are assumed to agree that the other nine laws of this moral code remain in their full force in Christian communities, and will so continue to the end of time. No part of the New Testament has annulled, even by implication, the law of the Sabbath, except to transfer it to the first day of the week as a Christian Sabbath. Christ came not to do away the law, but to fulfill it. To do a work of necessity or mercy on that day, was by Him the fulfillment of a duty, although requiring labor. But the injunction to abstain from worldly labor on that day, has never been relaxed by the divine authority. As in the Jewish economy, so under the Christian dispensation, the custom of assembling on the day has been observed in all ages of the church. 2. TAis law is declarative of the Divine wisdom. The bodies of both men and beasts require the recuperative benefit of stated days of cessation from labor. Without this rest, the body soon loses its vigor and elasticity. It has been ascertained that the system can endure more fatigue without injury, and accomplish more labor, in six days, by enjoying the seventh as a period of rest, than can be achieved by the same power through a continuous work of seven days in the week, withoutthe Sabbath. Man, therefore, is no loser in the observance of the command, but the gainer in every view. Those Christian communities who strictly observe What more gladsome light than that of Sabbath morn to the laborer? Where is the gloom that shrouds the quiet of the Sabbath to the man emerging from the crowded cares of the previous six days ? What other protection to the over-worked servant or animal is more humane? How unjust, then, how utterly reckless are the bitter attacks made upon the law of the Sabbath as the work of gloomy fanatics! 4. This law is the great charter of freedom to the oppressed. On*one day in seven the authority of the task-msster over the sinews and muscles of his oppressed servants is relaxed, and they are suffered to go free. Repeal the law, or cease to enforce it, how long will it be before liberty and freedom will be trodden under foot by the heel of despotism ? In the despotisms of the earth the Sabbath is profaned as a day of labor or pleasure. This law is the bulwark of civil and religious liberty. 5. The observance of the Sabbath constitutes the grand di.stinctio?i between a Heathen and a Christian community. As creatures of God, and destined to render up our account to him in the great day, there is a moral sublimity in the idea of a day set apart from worldly cares to worship the Creator of angels and men, and to recognize our relation and duties to the Judge and Savior of all. The heathen woild enjoys no such high privileges; there no Sabbaths call them to rest and worship. This is their misery, but our high distinction as Christians. If for want of this they persist in ignorance, shall we lightly esteem this inestimable gift to men ? Amidst the bustle and cares of life, men are apt to forget the great truth that there is a future world to which they are hastening. We need a season, every week, to remind us of an hereafter. What more appropriate than the Sabbath for this purpose? While we remit our strength for the labors of the ensuing week, our time can be no better employed than to meet our friends and neighbors in the house of worship, and listen to the truths relating to our future existence. Remove the Sabbath, or allow it to be devoted to secular labor or boisterous pleasures, and the only barrier to the return of a semi-barbarism is broken down. We need no further legislation than to ignore a Christian Sabbath, and a return to heathenism (in such a land as this) is rapid and sure, with all its appalling sequents. What the law of God enjoins as a moral duty, is proper for human tribunals to enforce, and that in strict accordance with the law of liberty in religious worship. No disaster to any country can be greater than the consequent evil influences aroused in the commu- this requirement to abstain from Sabbath labor, have always been most favored in wealth and intelligence. 3. The observance of the Sabbath as a day of rest, is in accordance with the highest happiness of man. It is no arbitrary law to enslave the mind under a rigorous despotism, and to deprive men of the freedom of enjoyment. What more welcome boon to nity by annulling the rest of the Sabbath.

Striking Confirmation of Scripture.— One of the most interesting of the monuments of ancient Rome is the triumphal arch, erected to commemorate the conquest of Jerusalem by Titus, who, after the destruction of the temple, made n triumphal inarch to Rome, bringing with him a long train of captive Jews and the spoils, among which were the sacred vessels of the temple. This procession is represented in the beautiful arch, which thus furnishes an illustration of the Bible nowhere else to be found, these being the only representations that exist of the sacred vessels, the table of the shew-bread, the golden candlestick with its seven branches, and the silver trumpets used by the priests to proclaim, the year of Jubilee. The Roman senate and people little thought, when erecting this monument to a deified emperor, that they were erecting a monument to the true God in the verification of prophecy and divine history. Not one of the Jews at Rome—of whom there are about six thousand—will even to this day, pass under the arch of Titus, although it spans one of the thoroughfares of the city ; they shun it as a memorial of a subjugation of their nation, which has never yet been retrieved, and regard it with aversion. Seed Sown at a Venture.—Rev. W. Robinson, a Baptist missionary in India, says : can tell you of a church, the origin of which may be traced to the leaving of a New Testament at a shop in a village. The missionary wished to give away the New Testament, but no one would have it; the Scrip-' tures were not sought after then as they are now ; so he laid it in a shop, and left it there for any one who might come to the shop, and wish for it. The shopkeeper could have torn it up, but he did not. After a time, a few hours I believe, two or three men cartie to this shop and saw the book ; they opened it, read it, and liked it, and took it away with them. The result was, that several persons from that village were eventually baptized— the men who took the Testament, and their wives. I know the men and their wives too; and the church that sprang up from this little incident is as palpable to the senses as any ether church. Come to Calcutta, cross the river to a little village called Homrah, and there you may see, assembled in a very neat little chapel, the very church in question."— Bible Advocate. In Cincinnati, a few days since, a man fell head-foremast through a hatchway in the warehouse, striking a barrel of lard and burying himself to the depth of two feet, leaving his legs sticking up in the air.

Just Austrian troops, amounting to about half a million, arc swarming on the plains of Lombnrdy and the eastern borders of Sardinia. French troops, coming in on the west and south, are joining the Sardinians in immense numbers. Russia on the north, sympathising and in alliance with the latter, is holding its neighboring German Suites in check, and ready, if need be, to baptize Vienna herself, with a Russian name, in Austrian blood. Austria professedly struggles for her rights in Italy and national honor; while her opponents contend for Italian rights and freedom from an intolerable despotism.

Away from his native land, the American sailor learns that the women of the Union have pledged their country's honor to purchase the Homo and Tomb of Washington, and straightway, with the enthusiasm and unfeigned chivalry of his nature, he sends them a substantial token of his sympathy in their noble work, and shows that he too glories in honoring ihe �54 THE FRIEND, JULY, 1859. ; green spots in my memory.

Now, I want to you a faint idea of one of the meetings held see that man—(looking at us again), I want on board of the receiving ship North Carolina, to see him—I want to argue with him. I lying at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which, want to ask him some questions. 1 want to through the kindness of the chaplain, the know if there aint no God, who it was that Rev. Mr. Stewart, I was permitted to attend took care of me for the last forty years I've in company with Geo. H. Stuart and Peter been aboard a ship? I want to argue with Simons, Esqs., of this city. I have nttended that man. I want to know who watched during the last six months many precious, over poor Jack in the hurricane; who stood soul-refreshing meetings in this city, that are by him in the squall—who brought him out "The Abundance of the Sea." the ' among the breakers ? There aint no God! I know there is a God—cause I've seen his power on the_sea, and felt it here in my heart. 1 like to tee that man as says there's no God, and argue with him. 1 know there's a God, because when I found out I was a great sinner, I was afear'd to go to bed least I might die nfore morning, and I felt if I did I would be lost, and I told my wife, who was n Christian woman, and who prayed for me, and she used to tow me to meeting, but I didn't find peace there. Then she towed me to see a minister, but 1 didn't get peace there. I praved —God be merciful to me a sinner; he did have mercy. The scales fell off my eyes —I'm resting on Jesus, now. It isn't what I do—but what Christ has done that's given me peace, and I tell you what shipmates, this old heart's ]iappy now, and I'll be happier when it leaves this old hulk and goes up yonder to be with Jesus for ever—shipmates, there is a God." His appeal to his fellow-sailors was of the most touching character—tears were streaming down that old weather-beaten face—truly a skeptic would have stood a poor chance of convicing that honest old tar—that there was no God. Toward the close of the meeting, Mr. Stuart invited every man of them that had an intelligent hope in Christ, that believed they were born again—to come forward and give us the right hand of Christian fellowship. You should have witnessed that scene. About seventy in number came forward and grasped our bands (and in u manner I felt for some hours after). Brother S. asked them to name their country as they passed along. I come from England said one—a Hibernian exclaimed the second—l'm frae Scotland, said a son of the land o' cakes—l'm from Maine—l'm from South Carolina—l'm from Sweden—from Norway—from Wales—from Germany—and one raid, I'm from Lapland. Brother Simons could stand it no longer, so he started the hymn From Greenland's icy mountains, "From India's coral strands," Aco. That was indeed a union meeting—there were ten or twelve nu;ions represented. The Jack that wanted to see the man as said there was no God, and argue with him, saw him and found in him a brother,and a brother and a traveler bound to the same port. But I had nearly forgotten one that takes a deep interest in this work ; when I entered that meeting—seated by a capstan in the midst of those rough-looking sailors, was one that had been reared in the lap of luxury— whose position gives her an entrance into the highest society—a lady, the wife of ihe commander—sat there, and by her presence and influence, has been the means of doing much — good. Inebriate Assylum.—We are to have, by Legislative aid, an Inebriate Assylum in our state—at Binghamton—and, by a sort of poetical justice, one-tenth of the money paid by liquor-dealers for licenses is to be appropriated to its construction and maintenance. This will not in practice, amount to much; but the connection here acknowledged between dramselling and drunkenness is one which too many are apt to forget.—Tribune.

Owing to calms and very unfnvornblo winds, we did not reach Fatuhirn until the evening of the Ud at June, too late to anchor. We entered Omoa Hay next d ly and lound were the people in a stale of war, if butchering defenseless women and children while they arc asleep can he called war. We found thnton the day preceding our arrival, eighty warriors proceedetl in ten canoes from Omoa to llanavavi Hay. landed in the night, attacked one house, killing two men and two women. One of ihe men fled from the house with his infant daughter in his anus, hut was shot down, beheaded, and the little one. two years old, taken captive. The mother made her escape, making unavailing moans and rries fur her lost child. The four beads were taken offnnd, together with the infant, taken to Omoa in triumph —the heroes deeming it most prudent to decamp before the sleepers had become sufficiently awakened to attack in their turn. One of the heads, that of a woman, was seen by our people at Hivaoa, salted down in a tub, which was carried to Hivaoa as a trophy. The fate of the little one was dreadful. Its eyes were drawn open and filled with sand, a hag approached as if to kiss it, hut sent her teeth into its cheeks, just under the eyes! Just as we were entering the bay. she was carried up to a mount close to our anchorage, and there, in n cocoanut grove which is consecrated to their god, she was strangled nnd left in a silting posture, propped up with stones. I asked a native why they did it; he said, "O givee devil, so devil help when fight." I asked one of the leading men, who enjoys the reputation of being a great warrior, (and by the way the same that shot the woman whose head was salted,) if we could have permission to visit the above named cocoanut grove; he said, " 0 nn. got gote up there," meaning a god. They sai I none who were defiled by eating with women could go there. I noticed that this man had been shot through the wrist on some former occision, and that he was not at all proud of his wound, but endeavored to conceal it. I told him the next ball might strike in a better place and finish him, but he thought not. In a conversation with some of these warriors, I observed, that soon they would nil be dead, that the next generation would know better, that their wars and tabus would, with them- �58 THE FRIEND, 1 I ii I ST selves, all go by the board ; they said yes, we know all that, but at present we must tight the Typees, who nre always trying to kill us. We left Omoa on Monday morning, June 6th, with both mis-ii'if families on board.ami anchored nextday m llanatitopi Bay. Hivaoa, where we heard of the lrs< oi ship Ttcilight, sperm whaler, of Now Bedford, at llananianti Hay, about eight iiuhs west of us. She was wrecked on the evening of the 11th, and was seven mouths out—had two hundred barrels sperm nnd forty barrels blackball oil on bonrd. I also found that Mr. Bickneil was nt the wreck rendering what assistance he could in preventing the natives Irom robbing the vessel. He tame on board the next day and inhumed mc il at Capt. Hathaway had sent a boat to Nnuliiva, and desired assistance. I determimd to dispatch my work as quickly as possible and proceed to Hanamanu. Mr. H. Mated alto that the natives were troublesome, and that the ship's company were constantly under arms. We removed to Hauntakua Bay on the 10th, and had finished our work tin re, when .Mr. Bickneil cam'- on board late on Saturday, (we had intended to have spent the Sabbath there,) and said he bad received information that the natives wire planning an attack upon the works of Capt. Hathaway, ami were actually concentrating in large numbers. We -feared Capt. H. might he taken unawares, so we sailed early next morning anil arrived at noon, finding all well. Mr. Bickneil accompanied us, The boat had returned from Nuuliiva without assistance, which was the time for the natives to strike. Our arrival however upset all their plans. I commenced taking on board the goods saved from the wreck at once. We had all on board on the 15th, and sailed from Hanamanu Bay before dawn on the 16th, proceeding to Hanaabi,and landing the goods for Mr. Bickneil the same day. We next proceeded to Puamau. and on Saturday evening had all the goods for that station on shore. We spent a very pleasant Sabbath with the missionaries, attending a very interesting meeting of the natives at Kekela's meeting-hnusc, and on Monday. 20th, sailed for Fatuhivu with all on board, amounting now to sixty-three persons. We finished our work at that island and sailed for Uesolution Bay for the purpose of landing Rev. L. Kaiwi and family. Left that place for Tahiti on Thursday, 2'id, and arrived at Tahiti Tuesday evening, 2Sth, where the crew of the Twilight were landed. It was my intention to have left Tahiti next day, but stormy weather set in, which effectually shut us in until the morning of the 4th of July, when the weather cleared, and we towed out at sunrise. The French storeship Indefatigable was nt Tahiti, all ready for sea, bound to New Caledonia, but waiting for a mail, which arrived from Chile on the 3d, bringing news of war between France and Austria. In the national brigantine Railleur, the Governor and his staff left Tahiti for New Caledonia April 25, taking all the French forces except 100 troops and a large proportion of officers. All have also been removed from the Marquesas, except the French flag and the missionaries. The latter we found in want of provisions and supplied them. Tahiti is the most magnificent island I ever , 1859. saw. The harbor in which we lay, Papeete, is one of the most beautiful in the wide world. I was there thirty five years since, when nil the houses and nearly all the people were native ; now, on arriving off the harbor, very large, beautiful nnd costly dwellings nnd stores are seen skirting nlmost the entire harbor. The broom road, which encircles the whole island, is very good for horses, and the most of it for carriages. Our passengers were perfectly delighted with Tahiti. Tl.i re are some very beautiful spots among the Marquesas. Puamau is one of the finest nnd pleasantest, the scenery of which was considered delightful by Messrs. Vaudrey antl Fnesach. The bay is spacious and easy of access, with near a square mile of good anchorage for the largest ships. The lays however on the norih coast of Hivaoa, although they may be considered safe during the prevalence of the trade winds, are yet all open to the north and westward. A ground swell constantly rolls in, increasing as it near* the shorts, causing a vessel to ride very uneasily at anchor, and throwing a heavy surf upon thi' beach. Much caution is required in leaving some of these bays, as the tides run across the heads with considerable strength—the winds generally fitful and bofllingiiear the heads, which are very high. llaifck:ri is the best on this account, as the heads arc low, am! the trade blows regularly. Puamau is also safe 111 this respect. Hanaalii is the worst on the coast, being small, the surrounding land very high, the wind coming from all directions at nearly the same time. Resolution Bay, at Tahuata, I think, also cannot he highly recommended, as it is very frequently disturbed by strong squalls, ami has ve,v deep water; we anchored in twentyone fathoms. It is not uncommon for ships to start their anchors and drag out of this bay, as I have witnessed. July 6th we had a moderate gale from the north, and matte little progress. It hauled next day I" N. Iv, anil finally to E., for a couple ol days, when it hauled to N. E. and remained until we arrived to rat. 5 deg. S., when it again hauled to li. We crossed the line on Wednesday, 13th, in long. MSI deg. III! mm. W., being ciirrented W. full thirty miles on that day. After passing into north latitude, the wind changed to Iv S. E., with fine weather. On the 15th, lat. 6 deg. 85 mm. N., long. 117 deg. 46 mm. W., found wo had entered a strong easterly current, which had set us in the twenty-four hours thirty-five miles due east, the exact spot where we found the easterly set, calm and variable wind*, on our passage south. The trad" also, whirh had been blowing finely from E. S. E., failed us nt this point, the wind hauling to the smith, with squally and rainy weather, occasionally calm. We remained in the doldrums until the 19th, (being currented eastward thirty miles each day.) when we were in lat. 9 deg. 45 N., nnd took the trades fresh from N. E„ and made Hawaii Saturday morning, 23d, at sunrise. Very respectfully, Jno. VV. Brown.

Dear Sir.:—Thinking an account of the loss of the whaleship Twilight, of New Bedford, might be interesting to your readers, I know of no better way in which 1 can employ myself, than in giving you the particulars of her loss. She was commanded by Capt. Sylvester Hathaway, and was about seven months from home; we had seen sperm whales three times, and had taken 200 bbls. of sperm, and 40 bbls. of blnekfish. On the 2Sth of May, we came to anchor in the Bay ol Hanamanu, Dominica Island, one of the Marquesas group, to recruit ship. After lying there five days, havinggot all the supplies we could, we started from the bay on the evening of the 2nd ofJune, with a light breeze blowing directly out of the hay, when the wind suddenly hauled around to northeast nnd struck us aback. We immediately braced around and lowered two boats to tow, but the ship being very sharp aft, and a heavy swell rolling in at the time, she gathered Sternway almost immediately; which was no sooner perceived, than we let go our larboard anchor; but it did not hold her, lor she struck in a k\v momenta after we let it go. We then ran out two hedges, one weighing 1000 lbs., the other 125 lbs., and tried to kedge her off, but owing to her heavy surging, she parted both lines. As our only resource now waa the anchors, we hove up the larboard anchor, placed it on a raft made of empty casks and towed it out as far as we could, let it go, and began to heave; but the anchor came home as fast as we hove. Tho ship was now striking very heavy, and had considerable water in her hold. Finding nil attempts to save the ship useless, the captain called the officers together and consulted with them, and came to the conclusion to cut away her masts, in order to save some of the cargo. As soon as it was daylight, we lowered the boats and commenced sending ashore what few things we could save. The moment the ship struck, the natives rushed aboard and stole everything they could lay their hands on. While we were trying to stive the ship, we rould do nothing to prevent them ; but when we found that we could not save her, we turned our attention to saving what we could of the cargo. We finally drove them all off, and commenced sending ashore what few things we could save. Over the things we landed, we were obliged to place a guard, and even then the natives contrived to steal a great many things. As soon as we could, we got some sails ashore and made a tent, and placed all the things in it as fast as they came ashore. On the 4th of June, we were very agreeably surprised at receiving a visit from the Rev. J. Bickneil, as we were not aware there was any white missionary residing on the island. I assure you that his presence amongst us cheered and revived our drooping spirits considerably. He came prepared to assist us in building a house ; but as we had just finished one, we did not require his assistance. But there was not one of the ship's company who did not feel just as grateful to him as though we had required his assistance; and I feel assured, that I may safely return him the sincere thanks of the whole ship's company, for the kindness which he extended to us during our stay on the island.

Our correspondent adds the following respecting some of those seamen who have professed to have become religious men during the late revival in New York : "We have aboard about twenty or more converts of Mr. Jones of New York, (Chaplain in the Mariner's Church,) who ire really very good men, and they have services every night in the cock-pit. The Captain Ims allowed them that privilege." ThD e ashaways. A cold bath or a tumbler of ice water is very refreshing in a warm nnd sultry dogday of August, but not half so refreshing as the reports of the well sustained meetings of the Dashaw lys. They are held every Saturday evening at the Bethel Vestry, and are well attended. The present number of members is more than fifty. The growth of this Association is one ol the most encouraging features in the prospects of our city. Too long have the hard working mechanics, the carpenters, the masons, and the tailors, been accustomed to spend their earnings ut the dram shop. The scores which some of these men have run up are frightful. Many have spent more than SoOO per annum for strong drink, and others all they could earn. Most nobly have they came forward and pledged their names and honor that they will put an end to such proceedings. The actual saving of money, however, is but a small portion of the real gain to individuals, families and the community. If the community would bear the recital, we could relate a story of rum's doings in Honolulu that would make humanity weep. Alas for the noble, the generous, the free-hearted, the talented, that have gone down to an untimely grave, and still they go! O ye, who are sporting with the tempter, beware, or you will add your names to the ignoble list of rum victims Arise, and add your names to the noble list of Dashaways! ! �61 THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1859.

On the 4lh of June and ihe day following, near 300,000 soldiers fought desperately upon the banks of the Ticino. Both Austriansand French claim the victory. Many thousands were killed. The French have gained a position upon the opposite side of the Ticino. The very latest dates state that they were about to enter Milan. The great struggle appears to have just commenced. Germany will join the Austrian*, England will remain neutral, if possible. HDaoewkintsh,fWashi the ngtonian Dashaway. Just one year ago died the leader of theold Washingtonian temperance movement. The following truthful and eloquent tribute to his memory is from the pen of the distinguished writer, L. M. Sargent, Esq. :— The career of this good and eminently useful man terminated on the 26th day of August last. By his unwearied and consistent efforts for seventeen years, an incalculable amount of good has been wrought in the cause ol temperance and humanity. A higher order of talent, a superior education, and a more elevated social position would have availed him less than the condition and circumstances from which he emerged, to become what he has been, for the period of seventeen years —the unwavering and indefatigable advocate of the temperance cause. As tamed elephants are employed, in the East, to catch and convert the wild ones, so drunkards, who have really reformed, are the most effective agents to operate upon those who have not. The physician is the most acceptable, who, we believe, has a clear comprehension of our case ; and the more so, if he has ever had a severe touch of the same malady himself. In 1&10, Mr. Hawkins was a consummate drunkard. His reformation was complete, and his consistency beyond all • question. He was a man of clear head, aud an honest heart; and his influence, among the intemperate, was great; the seals of his effective ministration weie numerous. Well, this good man is no more. If he had been a man of wealth, the first question, on 'Change, would be—•• what did hcleavef" Now, our readers will perceive, what a miserable manager he was, when we tell them that be invested the little treasure that he had in a stock, which, we fear, is not at a premium in the market—he invested it in heaven. But he left a widow and a daughter —that daughter, Hannah Hawkins, who was, under God, the author and finisher of her poor father's reformation, and the history of whose filial deration is before the temperance world, an imperishable recoid. He lelt them dependent. His thought, his time, his care, Ins efforts, he gave to the cause of temperance. His relormation, his peace of mind, his rest in heaven—for drunkards, we are told, cannot enter there—he owed to this more than Grecian daughter. What a debt ! Can H ever be paid ? A portion of it may. Who, in some sense, is not a beneficiary of this public benefactor ? The drunkard, reformed by his exertions, owes the exact value, whatever it may be, of his moral resurrection. And every brand, snatched from the burning, the conversion of every drunken pauper, into a sober, working citizen, confers an obligation upon the whole community. lisnh issionary. Let froEmnagM THE MURDERER OF THE MISSIONARY JOHN WILLIAMS. We copy the following paragraphs from a letter written by the Key. George Gill, dated Karotonga, ISth December, ISoS: " I notice a paragraph in the Frivivl of September, ISSB, respecting the man who murdered the never-to-be-forgotten Williams, copied from my brother's work 'Gems from the Coral Islands,' *CC. As the John Williams, missionary bark, has just landed me in the midst of my family anil duties here after an absence of four and a half months, during which time, in company with the Key. Geo. Stall worthy, of Samoa, I visited Erromanga and all our stations in Western Polynesia, you may be gratified with a few notes, addenda, respecting that memorable spot. The Key. G. N. Gordon of the Nova Scotia Mission, began his labors there, I think, in June, 1557, and reports that the work of God is making a little favorable progress, notwithstanding wars from without and wars from within. Up to the present time there has been much fighting on Enomanga, especially about Dillon's Bay, although not many have been killed. The reason that then itives kill few in their wars, is on account of the large fortified caves which they have on the island, and into which they betake themselves when pursued by their enemies. " The chiefs about Dillon's Bay are bad men, nnd fond of fighting. Of late, however, one of them has began to attend daily instruction. It was hoped that Kauiau, sometimes called Rariani, the chief who killed Williams, was at one time favorably disposed to attend to the advice nnd counsel of the teachers ; but he is still a painted savage, going about in a state of nudity, thirsting for the blood of his fellows, and iscontin ually in a fighting attitude with all his part) He is but seldom seen about the missio premises. After Mr. Gordon landed there the native teachers were so located as t secure a greater extent of influence am labor. Alter three months diligent labor, Mr G.s congregation would number twenty these would attend with considerable regu lurity to the means of Christian instruction •• At Bunliill stution the native teachers have been sadly disappointed in their expectations, for up to a recent date but few would attend to their counsels and instructions. They are however upon the whole cheered with tokens of advancement rather than retrogression. Throughout the New Hebrides Group and Loyalty Group many circumstances conspire to urge us to press forward and enter and take possession in the name of our Lord and Master, but the men are not to be found who are willing to join Claims of other countries, in the work. China, India nnd Africa, seem just now to absorb all the philanthropy of our churches at home, so we must trust to native agency, and the more earnestly seek God's blessing upon all our labors. " By the first opportunity I will forward you a few more Knrotongan Bibles and publications. I send this via Tahiti and hope it will reach you early. — " Yours faithfully, Geo. Gill." The Use ok Spirits in the Indian Army. The Bombay correspondent of The Morning Post says: " While speaking of spirits, it brings to mind an order just issued by the Governor-General, preventing the sale of spirituous liquors to British troops marching through the Northwest Provinces. It has been ruled by his Lordship that every place for the sale of spirits on the line of march shall be closed while a regiment or detachment of soldiers is passing by or encamped in its vicinity. Such shops to be closed during the passage or period of encampment of troops, nnd compensation at certain prescribed rates is to be made to the retailers for los.-es thus sustained by them. This is a wholesale regulation, nnd if carried out in its integrity will be the means ol saving many a soldier's life. The income of the Pope is said to be Of this, $600,000 are appropriated to his private affairs, $2,192,000 to $8,000,000. pay interest, $2,700,000 to support the array and police, $600,000 to support prisons, and $24,000 to schools. Had we a voice in the councils of His Holiness, we would recommend an exchange of prison and school appropriations. $600,000 for schools would, in a few years, render $24,000 for prisons quite sufficient. �TI.E FRIEND, AUGUST, 1859. 62 .. teach, they pray, ami devote themselves to all Or Our attention has been called to the followso ingby a in Dashaway," and inserted at his reAr.' thej sr.xid works wrong r i 'In Tin: Editor nt ran FortciD,— Sr: —May I St as us fill ta quest.

Our Currency.—The Chamber of Commerce has nmlertakcn to regulate the currency of the kingdom. The gentlemen belonging to that honorable Board are large dealers, nnd seldom perhaps handle coin of less vnlne than $5 or SJO pieces. The present position of the currency question may suit those gentlemen, but it dons lint suit the people who deal in small change. A correspondent in the last PiWyatlils. writing from Hawaii, says: "Give us plenty of sin.ill change, and the gold will take care of itself," So soy the people. The demand is for small coin. The demands of the New Cialc—l'ost Office laws and Markets—absolutely demand that something shall lie done to biiug the dime" and half-dime" into circulation. They nro row scarce as snow-tl ikes in summer, ."'o they will continue, all reasoning to the contrary, until " rials" and " half-rials" are put upon a par with "dimes" and " h'nlf'-diines." Pass this resolution in the Chamber, nnd very soon thero will be a speedy stampede of those smooth-faced, ugly-looking and antiquated old .Spanish coin.

SEPTEMBER 3, 1850. New Publication. I, No. I—lter. W. A. The Pacific Scott, D. V., Editor —Published in San Francisco, by G. W. Stevens. Expositor—Vol. This is a new Monthly. The July number has been received, and we shall be most happy to place it upon our exchange list. The design of the publication may be gathered from the following paragraphs, copied from the Prospectus : " The Pacific Expositor is to be devoted to the exposition of God'sWord, and the preaching of the Gospel, according to the standards of our Church. We wish to do by the press for our fellow men, just what wo do for Calvary Congregation every Sabbath ; that is, to expound, explain and preach to them the Word of the Living God. * * * The .Editor and Publisher do not propose to make money by the work. They desire only such aid from their fellow citizens as will cover the expenses of publication. Not one dollar of the subscriptions will be appropriated to the Editor's private use. All that is subscribed beyond the actual cost, will be spent in extending the circulation of the work among our miners, cattle-drivers, farmers, sailors and travelers. The Expositor will be issued every month, at three dollars per annum." Most cordially we welcome a fellow laborer, who is starting in a career very similar to that we entered upon nearly seventeen years ago, when we invited the public to sustain the Friend. We know something of the " FTHE RIEND toil connected with the publication of u Monthly while (sustaining the duties and responsibilities of a gospel minister. We would fondly hope the projector of this enterprise may meet with success ..iresponding to his enlarged views. The power of the press is mighty for weal or woe to the community. < Lei tiic peeks speak in trumpet tones in favor of truth, piety, the Sabbath, and every good cause. Dr. Scott has already shown ability as an expounder of the Bible. His " Wedge of Gold" and " The Giant Judge" arc highly creditable efforts. Some months ago a friend in San Francisco sent us the "Giant Judge," and we have read it with much delight. The design and execution of the several publications of Dr. Scott which have fallen in our way, evidently evince reading and study, together with this admirable idea, that the Bible shall be its own interpreter. Now, if a publication can be made to spread out before the reading public the real meaning of both the Old and New Testaments, its usefulness will be very great; it will foster Bible reading in the community. Wherever the Expositor is circulated, there will spring up a desire to read those parts of the Scriptures which arc dwelt upon in its pages. In perusing Dr. Scott's publications, such as his " Daniel," " Giant Judge," " Wedge of Gold," &c, we have observed that in reeling off his thread of discourse, he displays considerable skill in twisting the threads of other writers with this own. This is not altogether objectionable in a good expository piece of composition. It may be necessary, but there is this danger, when the pen moves rapidly, the thread may kink. If newspaper reports can be relied upon, such a kink has occurred in his last publication, " The Bible and Politics." The report grates upon the car, that Dr. Scott has denounced King James' translation of the Bible as a sectarian book, and on that account should not be read in the common schools of California. This is the kink to which we allude, but we are 65 {(Olb iemts, Vol. IB glad to see lhat certain writers in the Pacific, including Dr. Anderson and a layman, (reported to be a distinguished lawyer, Mr. Height, of San Francisco,) have undertaken to unwind or untwist this kink of Dr. Scott. From our reading of their articles, we think that success will crown their efforts ; hence wo sin.ll !"ipe to sec no leaves of the •' Bible and Politics" stitched a.r.ontr the pages of the Monthly Pacific Expositor. If they should be, we fear their pcrsusal would essentially damage the publication among all good old school Presbyterians and Prostestants generally, although they might gratify those who sympathise with the Roman Catholics in their views of common school 4-. Queen's Hospital.—This institution is now in successful operation under the efficient management of Dr. Hillebrand. The building occupied as a temporary hospital is admirably suited to the purpose. Over one hundred patients have received medical advice and treatment from the dispensary, and there arc averaging ten boarding inmates. The usefulness of the institution is already apparent and will become more so, as months and years pass away. Mr. Brewster's School.—Schools abound in Honolulu, but more arc still needed. That under the charge of Mr. Brewster, commenced under good auspices, and is gradually increasing in numbers. We confidently hope it may grow into an institution to vie with the one at Punahou, or most certainly answer the purpose of fitting pupils for Oahu College. Let the teacher have a fair trial. In a late paper, we notice that the insurance companies and merchants of New York, have contributed $5,000 for refitting the Sailor's Home in that city! We hope the merchants of Honolulu, and other friends of our Sailor's Home, will contribute as many hundreds to put ours in good repair, and cover it with one or more coats of paint. �THE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER, 1859. 66 caring for them, and acting the "good Samaritan" generally in their behalf; and graduThe Dashaways. ally finding out tho necessity for the step, The Dashaways of San Francisco—Have have now leased a building and established a 44 your readers heard anything about them ? home for inebriates," where the victims of They are making a great stir, and promising strong drink, both male and female, are cared to do much good.

They drew up resolutions to this effect, and then, in order to have a look at them when sober, and also to jicrsuade their fellow firemen to join them, bExetfroaAcdhsemthe they adjourned till another evening.

Then others besides firemen joined them, and then public meetings were held, and the whole community were invited to join in the movement. They soon began to convert their numbers by hundreds, and now by thojsands. Of course, the liquor sellers were " taken aback" by this sudden move. One of them, who had been the principal purveyor of liquor to the fire company among whom the reform originated, soon had to note a diminution of receipts in his till, of not less than fourteen dollars a day ; and now, I cannot doubt that at least five hundred dollars are saved every day to sober men, that was formerly spent in grog shops. But these poison dealers consoled themselves to each other with the assurance that when the six months were over, these fellows would drink more than ever before. But they were doomed to disappointment. When the time had expired, nearly all that signed (he first pledge renewed it for another six months, and multitudes more joined them. So the hope of these manslayers has perished. The Dashaways do not promise not to sell, buy, give away or manufacture ardent spirits, but just not to drink it. Of course, this singleness of object enables (hem to gather in the more of those who need reform, and spread their power the more rapidly. The short time for which they pledge themselves has the same tendency. These men arc doing good in another way. They are trying to save drunkards who are past being saved by the pledge. They have been in the habit of picking up drunken men from the streets, carrying them to their rooms, which, I trust, as it is " my lirst appearance" in the capacity of a temperencc lecturer, you will indulgently receive, and overlook the errors in style, which more or less hang around maiden attempts at any labor. Fellow Dashaways!—We have arrived at last to the dignity of an " Institution," that mythical word, which to the ears of a free and enlightened citizen of Great Yankecdom, is suggestive of something bearing all the elements of success, and possessed of a vitality which nothing but our own folly can destroy. We are 57 strong, numbering a few more, after only one month's existence, than the "Honolulu Rifles," besides having enrolled in our ranks also, some of the gentler sex, whom the cruel mandates of stem war forbid the opposition Company for the integrity and safeguard of the kingdom, to admit. Our duty, soldiers of the Dashaways, is of a different nature ; it is to protect each other by sympathy and encouragement in a war for self-preservation against a foe which most of us were almost willing to lay down arms to, and acknowledge ourselves beaten. Thanks, then, Mr. President, to the worthy Decemvirs, the Original Ten, who shaky as they were from the effects of the libations to the success and continuation ofthe Ge-rateand the Gellorious Fourth of July '69, (long may she wave,) had nerve enough left after such sacrifices, to sign the application to your worthy self, who wished to lie surrounded by that classical numlier of supporters, before throwing the bass drum overboard, and taking the lead of the Forlorn Hope. I sincerely hope, Mr. President, Mr. Vice President and Secretary, that the " Sacred Screed" has been carefully preserved, and laid away 41 in lavender" in the archives of the Order. I shall not, this evening, enter into a statistical account of the quantity of Rum, Wine, Brandy, Gin, Okolehao, Eau dc Cologne, Oregon Cider, or Painkiller, drank on these Islands, in the United States, in Europe or the rest of the world. As my daily occupation, being that of a professional figurer, I know that figures sometimes can be made, if they are hard enough driven into a corner, to do as young women are said to do—fib a little, or as a drunken statistician once audibly remarked to a friend as he was reeling home : " Hie, Hie, I say, Bill! they say figures won't lie, but here's a figger, that can't stand anyhow," and suiting the action to the word, dropped. The Custom House returns made up by the Collector General of Customs, with greatcare and official skill, will sufficiently show the consumption of foreign liquors which pay duty—and it is certainly not a duty of mine to speak of that sold which does not pay into the coffers of Government, its specific tax. It is, however, a fair subject of inquiry, on the part of the drinking man, to know what quantity of the Real Article he drinks, and what of spurious, when he throws down his quarter for his.fid. He would feel himself entitled to do it at his butchers, his bakers, or his candlestick makers," why not at his liquor merchants ? But the truth is, lam afraid he swallows his dram without scruples, nnd leaves it to the startling developments of those curious in the exploration of hidden things, to show up the compounds. " The advantages derived from following the dictates of our Pledge are apparent to the most determined of our railcrs. The vender of intoxicating beverages himself, turns his assistant at mixing julips, cobblers, and "id oinnc" gin-us, quickly from his bar, should he imbibe beyond measure of the fascinating compounds. 4l He is a smart fellow, pity he drinks," is heard by us every day, as applied to sonic one, or the other, of our acquaintances, and if that acquaintance is of such a social position that it will not do to say it openly for fear of getting " picked up," it is whispered and hinted. Some undoubtedly get wrongly accused, for we all know that a red nose don't always mark out a " drinkinger" no more than it does a good potato ; or blue nose a Nova Scotian, but in the majority of instances, the " I say wife, is the milk tied up in anything, or lying about loose"— a evidences are conspicuous. It is a well-settled axiom,—Trust your business to any one but a drunkard. His honesty may be unimpeachable, but in unguarded moments he may betray the clue to a master scheme, upon the successful carrying out of which the financial prosperity of a future life may depend. The I love thee, " of mine," is Cassio, but never more be officer familiar to every reader of Shakspeare. In conclusion, Mr. President, 1 have only to say, I trust our institution will prosper. I believe my name is entered for the shortest term on the roll, but having already broken two or three, or three or four temperance pledges, and they say a nameless place is paved with broken good resolutions, but with no more than I have made to knock off" drinking, I thought I would try it until after my birth-day, which happened to be four months from the date of signing. If the Queen of England should not die in the meantime, and the Prince of Wales ascend the throne, and the loyal Britons celebrate his birth-day, which is the same as mine, who am one of the independent sovereign Peeps," I may be able to get through, but " �THE FRIEND, SEI»TE M B E R you know the flesh is weak. One month of trial has been of such benefit to me, I may be prevailed upon, Mr. President, "as I feel so nicely, to do it again," and I sincerely trust that the whole of the members can reiterate the same remark. We must remember that it is the portion of humanity to err, 'tis an attribute of divinity to forgive—and let us look upon the brother that has strayed with ft feeling nearer akin to sorrow and pity, than scorn and contempt. None of us stand so firm but we may perchance fall. To the outsiders I would say, in a different tone from that of a political or trade opponent, "If you are not of us, you can't help being with us," lor what true man of you is there that can look at the majority of the names on that Pledge of temporal self-abstinence from drink, and wish to see one re- moved. The skillful mechanic and theaged clerk— the youth just grappling with life'sduties and the venerable grand parents about leaving them—all, by their sign-manual, bear witness to what they believe to be the integrity and worthiness of our cause. If you cannot help us, seek not to crush us. Ridicule is feared by many sensitive minds more than the most outrageous abuse. And if, itt some unguarded moment, relying upon your strength, you may be tempted to pass over the narrow limit which, in drinking, divides moderation from excess, you may meet the first cheering words from a member of our order, to win you back your lost self-respect. To the Lady Members of theOrdcrl would remark, that although it did not at first enter the minds of the formers of the Society that it would be encouraged by their personal example, yet had they but thought a moment, they would have known that the sex whom the disciple has praised as being the last at the cross and the first at the sepulcher, could not be absent from a society formed for the practice of the greatest and holiest of the Christian virtues, " Self-denial." The Dashaway must become the Teetotaller. The following truthful remarks of Charles Lamb, beautifully expressed, were quoted by Mr. Ingols in his Address before the Dashaways. Lamb, one of the most charming essayists in the English language, the 'Gentle Elia,' fond of puns and punch, and a good deal addicted to both, thus writes, and you will take notice he was much in want of a Dashaway alongside him : " Yea, but (methinks I hear somebody object) if sobriety be that fine thing you would have us to understand, if the comforts of a cool brain are to be preferred to that state of heated excitement which you describe and deplore, what hinders in your own instance that you do not return to those habits from which you would induce others never to swerve ? If the blessing be worth preserving, is it not worth recovering ? Recovering ! Oh, if a wish could transport me back to those days of youth, when a draught ftom the next clear spring could slake my heats, which summer suns and youthful exercise had power to stir up in the blood, how glad , would I return to thee, pure element, the drink of children, and of child-like holy hermit. In my dreams, I can sometimes fancy thy cool refreshment purling over my burning tongue. But my muring stomach rejects it. That which refreshes innocence only makes me sick and faint. But is there no middle way between total abstinence and tho excess which kills you ? For your sake, reader, and that you may never attain to my experience, with pain I must utter the dreadful truth that there is none, none that I can find. In my stage of habit (I speak not of habits less confirmed— for some of them, I believe the vice to be most prudential—) in the stage which I have reached, to stop short of that measure, which is sufficient to draw on torpor and sleep, the benumbing apoplectic sleep of the drunkard, is to have taken none at all. The pain of the self-denial is all one. And what that is, I had rather the reader should believe on my credit than know from his own trial. He will come to know it whenevtt he shall arrive at that state in which, paradoxical as it may appear, Reason sliatl only visit him through Intoxication ; for it is a fearful truth, that the intellectual faculties, by repented acts of intemperance, may be driven from their orderly sphere of action, theirclear daylight ministeries, until they shall be brought at last to depend, for the faint manifestations of their departing energies, upon the returning periods of the fatal madness, to which they owe their devastation. The drinking man is never less himself than during his sober intervals." 185 9 . 67 adventure, it is, under Providence, the great agent of civilization ; and I feel it my duty to add that everywhere in Asia and Africa, among the Caffrcs in Natal, on the continent of India, among the forests of Ceylon, and over the vast expanse of China, the testimony to the zeal and success of our countrymen as missionaries of truth is earnest and concurrent. I heard it everywhere and from high authority. Their praises greeted me when, after the dreariness of a long voyage, I put my foot ashore at the Cape of Good Hope, and when, nearly two years afterwards, I bade farewell to Eastern lands, my last delightful duty was to visit and for myself see the largest missionary school in Egypt, kept and admirably administered by an American—a Phildelphia woman (Miss Dale) —at Alexandria." Would it not do well to have the Day of our American Thanksgiving so arranged that all our missionaries, in every part of tho world, should be able to celebrate it as an American Festival ? The concert of prayer is now observed in many churches all the iworld over. The Concert of Thanksgiving would be more impressive, because more universal. Such a festival, acknowledging the God of the Bible as the Supreme Ruler of the destinies of our Great Republic, and setting apart the day as one of happy rejoicing and thankfulness for our individual and national blessings, would be an impressive spectacle to the people of every land and language. Let the last Thursday in November be agreed upon as the Day of American Thanksgiving in all the States of our Union, and the world would have a new epoch of American Missionaries and Thanksgiving hope, a new pledge of peace, and a new and Day. brighter ray from the torch of Liberty than The Hon.

" — :— �68 THE FRIEND, SEP T E■ THE FRIEND. SEPTEMBER 3, 1859 The Case of Plumer. During the last few months the papers of New England have been discussing the case of Plumer, tried for the murder of the Captain of the whale ship Junior off New Holland. The trial was long and supposed to be satisfactory, so far as the public and justice were concerned. For some reason, not fully made public, the most extraordinarily strenuous exertions were made for his benefit. A rumor was reported that he went under an assumed name, and was really connected with some of the first families of Boston. This statement has been denied. The jury brought in however a verdict of guilty, and he was sentenced to be hung. The day of his execution was appointed. At this stage of proceedings, Dr. C. F. Winslow, formerly of Lahaina, became interested in Planner's behalf. He has produced a remarkable change in public sentiment. Tcnol the jury have been induced to sign a petition for Plumer's pardon, while some twenty thousand and more have also petitioned the President of the United States in Plumer's favor. The papers do not publish the evidence upon which the community has been induced to believe that Plumer was innocent of the murder with which he was charged. The following we copy from the Massachusetts Spy, published at Worcester The announcement of the commutation of "Plumer's sentence, from death to imprisonment for life, was received in the community with general satisfaction. When the announcement was made to Plumer, who was at the time conferring with Dr. C. F. Winslow, relative to his affairs after his death, his eyes filled with tears of joy as he thanked his friend for bringing him such tidings, and for the exertions he and others had made in his behalf. The report was confirmed by the arrival of a special messenger from the Attorney General's office at Washington, with the announcement that the President had been induced by the petitions and the facts which had been presented to him to commute the sentence to imprisonment for life ! Mr. John A. Andrew, who visited Washington to present the petitions and the facts, and Dr. C. F. Winslow, who has taken a deep interest in the matter from its commencement, deserve credit for the success which has rewarded their efforts. Plumer has issued a card to the public, expressing his thanks to all the friends and editors of public journals who have been active in his behalf—to the signers of petitions in his favor— to many friends at Washington, to the members of the Cabinet, and especially to the President of the United States, and assuring them that his future conduct will show that interest has not been felt or mercy shown to a bad or unworthy man.

If he did not, and no old Roman ever visited our shores, how could an old Roman coin have been brought hither ? This is the question. A gentleman has handed over to us a copper Roman coin, and no mistake, saying it was picked up in a by-street of Honolulu ! How shall its presence be accounted for? When the Austrians fled from Milan they left the treasure-chest behind, and when Lord Cornwallis was captured at Yorktown, the 41 English sovereigns" fell into the hands of Washington ; but how came an old Roman copper coin in Honolulu ? Estimating its value according to the fabulous prices paid recently in London for old coin, its value must be invaluable: " A great sale of old coins, by auction, has recently taken place in London, and enormous prices were obtained. Three AngloSaxon pennies of different types were sold in one lot for $150! Pennies of Alfred's time sold for from $50 to $S0 each, and one halfpenny of great rarity brought more than a hundred dollars! A good penny of Henry the Third, of the highest rarity, sold for upwards of $600. Among the coins s(ruck for America may be mentioned the Lord Baltimore penny, said to be unique, $362; a New England half-penny, $75; the fifty shilling piece of Oliver Cromwell, $225; good five Killing pieces of Charles 11., $146."

The more improbable the story, the more interesting it is to the listeners. We were much amused with a tale of this kind which was related by an old native a few weeks since, during a short voyage in an island schooner. The story teller said that many years ago, before the accession of the Kamchamohas, the islands of Kauai, Niihau and Nihoa, were one, under the name of Niihau; and Oahu and Molokai were also united under tho name of the former island—the distance between the two being, at that time, several days sail. On one eventful day, however, two fishermen were busily engaged in their avocation, the one on the shore of VVaianac, on the western extremity of Oahu, and the other on the rocks of Koloa, in Niihau —now Kauai. Unfortunately, there was a strong current. The hooks were carried out to sea and be| came entangled together in the middle of the channel; and when the fishermen endeavored to haul in their lines, the two islands, unable to withstand the strain, parted from their moorings. Kauai broke off, first from Nihoa, and afterwards from Niihau, Oahu sepaj rated from Molokai, and the two main bodies approached each other. At length the lines broke, and the islands came to a stand still in their present positions. Some days elapsed before the kings of the two islands discovered the cause of these great changes. At length, being informed of the facts, they ordered the two fishermen to swim out into the channel and dive down after the hooks. Their commands were fulfilled. The hooks were recovered. And wonder} ful to relate there were found upon each hook, specimens of every kind of fish in the sea—from the whole down to the shrimp.—P. C. Adv.

One beautiful Sunday forenoon, I was walking the quarter-deck of a line thip running down the north-east trades. William Thornton, an old weather beaten sailor, was at the wheel, and I could hear him occasionally humming theair of "Black-eyed Susan," when my back was towards him. He was an excellent helmsman, and kept the ship to her course true as the needle to the pole. Although it is still, as it was then, contrary to rule to enter into conversation with the man at tho wheel, yet observing William smile, and raise-his hat upon "nine hairs," 1 asked him sympathetically—" What are you About my thinking about, William ?" sweetheart, sir." " Are you going to get married again when you return '." I was never married, sir, nor never will lit4, if I should live a thousand years, yet have a sweetheart. It's just forty years this day since I saw her, and 1 never saw her but once. But what interest can you have in an old salt's silly love dreams?" "Go ahead, William, tell me about this sweetheart." I'm in love myself, nnd can sympathize with " " you." 41 Well, sir, it is just forty years this day since I strolled into one of the big churches in Broadway, and was invited to a seat in a grand pew by an elderly gentleman. There were two young ladies with him. One of them, the moment our eyes met, said, as plainly as eyes could speak, ' I'm glad to see you again.' I was sure I had seen her lie- I) , SEPTEMBER, 1859. fore, 1 felt that we were old playmates, but for the soul of me I could not tell where. I could hardly take my eyes oil'her, she looked so good. When the services commenced she put a prayer-book in my hand and pointed to the ' lesson for the day,' but 1 looked more at her than I did at the lesson. I was young then, sir, and good-looking, too, and had as much self-conceit as most young men ; but the more I looked at that sweet girl the less I thought of myself. When the services were over I followed her to the door of the carriage, and could not help saying, as the gentleman handed her in, God bless you, my sweet angel,' nnd, to my surprise, instead of being oilended, she replied, ' Thank you, sir, and may He bless you too.' The gei.tleman raised his hat to me and smiled. 'Good-bye, Jack,' he said, ' good luck to you.' It was the voice of l sailor; he was, no doubt, a retired sea-captain. Both the ladies, though I had neglected one entirely, bowed to me out of the carriage window. In a moment they were gone, and I never saw them from that day to this, yet from that day to this I have truly loved that sweet girl." 44 Did you ever try to lind-who she was I" I inquired. 44 No, sir, what was the use ? I felt myself a poor, ignorant sailor, hardly able to write my own name, and 1 was not silly enough to think that such a lovely girl would care anything about me. Thinking about her took all the self-conceit out of me." " But you said you thought you had seen her before ; how was that 44 It was only in a dream, sir. 1 never saw her before. Now, as I'm growing old, 1 have been thinking seriously about trying to be good, that I may meet her in heaven. Every Sunday for forty years, has the scene in that church been before me, and every time I think upon my sweet girl, she looks more lovely than before. I could never think of marrying, with her imago ever present in my mind. Do you think, sir, it is possible for an old sinner like me to be good enough to go to heaven ?" ' . not, William ?" " Why why. About eight years " 1 tell you for that 1 saw I ago dreamed I left the sea, my dear angel go to heaven, and tried to be good. I worked along shore with riggers and stevedores, and had over two thousand dollars, that I saved, so I got along very comfortably. I joined the church, and thought I had got religion, when a rascally fellow cheated me out of lifty dollars. I was so mad, that I gave the fellow an awful hiding, and before he could set the law-dogs on me, I was at sea again. I think now that I did very wrong, but I'm so hard-hearted that I can't, in my soul, forgive the fellow, even to this day. " My sweet angel tells me in my dreams that I must forgive him, and that if I wish to join her, I must be good." He said much more, but the above affords a glance at his inner life, and shows the purity of his soul. It must not be thought that he was a whining old fool; on the contrary, he was a man of dauntless courage, bold even to recklessness, and quick to resent an insult. No men are thrown more upon their natural resources for mental food than seamen. For weeks, and even months, sky and water are their only companions ; and on long voyages, when they have watch and watch, their labor is very light. It is then their minds dwell upon the pleasant scenes of the past, and make the dross of earth appear divine. Bill Thornton's case is not singular. Almost every sailor has some beauteouslovedream, and hence the reason why so few of them marry.

A Wandering Printer.—Karl Ungling, journeyman printer, died at Detroit a few days ago, after wandering over a lame portion of the world. He was banished from Baden, ia Germany, for participating in the revolution of IS4B. He reached the United States just in time to volunteer in the Mexican war, and was wounded and disfigured for life at the battle of Buena Vista. After the war he traveled from Maine to Louisiana, and to the frontiers of civilization, as a journeyman printer; commenced the first German paper ever published in San Francisco, subsequently joined a theatrical company in Cincinnati, and was everywhere known as a scholar, poet, musician, and wit. He never remained long enough in one place to call it his home, but wherever lie went he left friends who admired his extraordinary talents and his characteristic vagaries. He could spin a yarn, write a poem, make a speech, sing a song, bring a melody from a guitar, or tip a glass of lagar beer with uneijualed spirit and cosmopolitan elegance. a The Abbot and the Pope.—At the conof St. Laurent, about a mile out of Rome, there is a privileged altar, that is to say, every mass said at this altar has the privilege of drawing one soul completely out of purgatory. It consequently enjoys a great reputation, and is much sought after by the faithful. One day the abbot found his convent 6,000 in arrear, that is, he had received payment for 0,000 masses at a crown each. vent �THE FRIEND, more than had been said. He repaired to Gregory XVI., and begged him since he was omnipotent,to grant that a single man should draw the whole 6,000 souls out of purgatory. The pope considered a while, then wrote a rescript to the desired effect. The abbot embraced the feet of the holy father, expressed his gratitude, and was about to retire, when Gregory called him back, saying, " A mass of 6,000 crowns; such a mass is lit for a pope; I will say it myself;" nnd in verity the following morning he repaired to the convert of St. Laurent, performed the mass, and the abbot had to hand him over the (5,000 piastres, equal to about one thousand two hundred pounds.

In the January number of the Friend for 1859, will be found the narrative of four natives of Lifu, an island of the Loyalty Group in the South Seas. The natives were taken to Ascension, Micronesia, and from thence brought by Capt. Thompson, of the China, to Honolulu, in the autumn of 1858, and taken hence to Rarotonga by Capt. Manchester, of the Morea. A letter just received from Rev. George Gill, of Rarotonga, furnishes the following intelligence: "The four natives brought by Capt. Manchester, duly arrived. They are natives of Lifu. An interesting account of that island and people you will find in the Gems of the Coral Islands.' As soon as our young men heard that there were four Lifuans on board, they were anxious to receive them, and in a day or two, got a pretty comfortable house put up for them on the hittitution premises. We shall feel it a sacred duty to care for them. We shall expect the John Williams here next June, and shall put them in charge of our esteemed captain, who will convey them to their own home. Many thanks to Captain Thompson, of the China, who treated them so generously and christianly. Providence does indeed very often open methods and ways very unexpectedly for us to do good. We have had a mission on Lifu for some years past." The Rev. Mr. Gill visited Lifu in July, 1958, in*company with the Rev. Mr. Stall- ' worthy. They were sent to visitall the mission stations during the cruise of the John Williams. They found laboring upon the island six Samoan and three Rnrotonga teachers, but no European missionaries. In a late letter from the Key. Mr. Howe of Tahiti, we are glad to learn that two English missionaries have just arrived, and will be located on the Island of Lifu. The Case of Plumer, Again. In our last number we stated that the senof Plumer had been commuted for imprisonment for life in the Charlestown State Prison. We also stated that this result had been brought about mainly through Dr. C. F. Winslow's efforts in Plumer's behalf. We have been permitted to read a private letter from Dr. Winslow, received since the issue tence of our last number, and from it we copy as follows: You may perceive that I have been interested to save the life of Plumer, and by the help of God and a large number of mankind have succeeded. I don't believe any man ever lived around whom a darker plot and stranger net work of circumstances have been woven than around that erring but generous fellow. It is my deliberate opinion that no sailor ought to be subject to the severest penalty of the law for engaging in a mutiny, when the discontent is fomented by a cabin officer, and connived at and stimulated by artful intrigues into mutiny and seizure of ship or master, for his own selfish objects. Then again, it is equally my deliberate opinion that no man should be hung on false testimony. Then again, it is my deliberate opinion that one man should not be selected for execution when all in the ship, except three or four, were guilty of the same act and complicated in it. This would be destructive ofall justice and an outrage upon all law. Then again, when a man is not a ringleader and did not do a murder, (as Plumer was not and did not this, 1 knoiv,) he ought not to be selected and hung for it, merely because he was a smart, bright fellow, " 73 \m Serifs, Vol. ill after troubles were over. Then again, even if a young man of twenty-one years was led off by bad counsels of his superiors and promises and bribes tc engage in a plot without intent to take life, and life was taken by others, and not by himself, and all fatal events were unpremeditated by him, and then when called to act of himself and of his own independent will and energy, he saved life and property and protected officers, I say it as my own deliberate conviction, that young man ought to have his errors and offenses forgiven him for his noble afterthoughts and bold courageous conduct and risks to his own lifs, and ought not to be hunted down, &c., dec. But above all, it has seemed to me that it would be most unsafe and disastrous to the safety and lives of officers hereafter for the only humane man in a ship, who dared to risk his life to save officers and foreigners and property, to be executed and sacrificed to the rigor of the law. For if so.what sailor, however humane and anxious to save life, would dare to interpose when he remembered Plumer's fate ? &c., Ace. These are my reasons, and many more, for my great interest in the whole whaling fleet, and for all time to come to be firm as a mountain in this and about this man, who was a complete stranger to me till after his trial and conviction. But I have fought the fight and won the victory through the help of God and my faith in his justice and the goodness of mankind." found in command of the ship We would acknowledge a full file of the British Messenger, published by Peter Drummond, Esq., Stirling, Scotland. Also, a donation of £10 worth of the publications of the Religious Tract Society, London ; a donation of 100 prayer books of the Episcopal Church of United States, from the " Homily and Prayer Society of New York." We would acknowledge a large bundleof books from the Rev. Mr. Armstrong, of Honolulu,for gratuitous distribution among seamen. �THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1859. 74 Sailors should write Home. We cannot find language to express our disapprobation of those seamen who will not, when in port, write to their friends. We should be sorry to see a sailor " seized up" and severely punished, still if he was seized up and his mother stood by to lay on the blows for not writing home, we should not shed many tears. By the last mail we received a letter from the mother of a sailor in the Pacific, in which she earnestly entreats us to look for her absent son, who has not written home for years. These are her words addressed tn us : " Will you be kind enough, when the ship comes in, to give him a few lines which I will put into your letter? If alive or dead, when the ship comes, whatever information you have of him, please send it to me, to ease mij aching heart and worried miml.'' To her son, this is her language : " My dear son, if you only knew the uneasiness and sorrow of mind that yen have caused me, you would have written, if only two or three Words, to say 'lam well' or I am alive,' that would ease my mind so that I would not have thought you had forgotten her who taught you to lisp the name of mother. You have anxious minds, and loving hearts at home." That reamer) may have no possible excuse for not writing home while in port, we would hereby notify all seamen visiting the port of Honolulu, that if they will call at the Depository of the Sailor's Home, they will there be furnished with pen, ink, paper and envelopes, gratis. They will find the Reading Room a convenient place to write. Henceforth we hope no anxious mother will be compelled to ask her roving son if he has forgotten her who taught him to lisp the name of mother ! ' A Hint. We see reported unusually large numbers of native passengers on board schooners returning from the windward islands. Report says they are visiting Honolulu and Lahaina to spend the shipping season. It is not to be supposed that all come for bad purposes, or that all come for good purposes. We do hope that our authorities and " City Fathers" will keep a sharp lookout for the daughters of Hawaii, who are resorting to our seaoorts. Let effectual measures be taken to ■end them back if it be found that they are friendless, or are visiting the large towns for immoral purposes. Let the police visit certain localities. Let every house of ill fame be closed, and made tabu. If native women are found living with persons who are not their husbands, let the law take its course. Much may be done to purify the city.

This declaration of our Savior has been often verified in the history of the preaching of the Gospel. The Gospel meets the case of the chief of sinners. Zaccheus, the publican, and Mary Magdelene, were welcome to partake of all the blessings of tin- Gospel. Strange as it may seem to the unreflecting mind, the most abandoned and profligate often find fewer obstacles in approaching the cross of Christ, than the moral, correct, respectable and those somewhat religious in their turn of mind. The one class see and feel their lost condition, and when the Gospel offer ismade known, they embrace it as the drowning man grasps the rope thrown for his rescue ; while the other, feeling secure and apprehending no present danger, put off, and defer the consideration of the subject to a more convenient season. We have been led to indulge in the foregoing reflections from reading the letter of a correspondent, now an undergraduate in Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. After furnishing some interesting statements, relating to the thorough scholarship and encouraging religious prospects of that oldest of American universities and " pet school" of the old Puritans, he remarks as follows, re- :— specting the late awakening " In Boston the effects of the great revival of 1858 are still apparent. The business men's prayer meetings, at 8 A. M., and noon daily, are well attended and full of interest. But the most wonderful work of the Spirit has been among the vilest and most degraded. One meeting will answer as a sample of the whole. Last evening I went with a friend to a prayer meeting in the northern part of the city. where it was held, was a few months ago, one of the lowest dance halls in the city—a resort for the vilest of both sexes. The Rev. Phineas Stowe, pastor of the Baptist Bethel, noticed the situation of the hall, and judging it a good location for , Tahiti.—We would acknowledge the reception of a newspaper published at Papeete in the Tahitian, English and French languages. It contains an interesting account of a general festival throughout the island in honor of the French Emperor. A private correspondent writes as follows, under date of August 29th : " No public house was allowed to be open during the three days of the fete, between 1 in the afternoon and 8 in the morning, and a heavy fine was attached to the sale of anything to the natives during the hours allowed to be open. The chiefs too in their various districts, fearing that the revival of old customs might also revive old animosities, agreed with their people that any one known to be drunk should be tied up and kept so until the fete was over. The excellent regulations aided much the desires of the thoughtful and sober part of the population, in keeping that excellent order named, and which could hardly have been equaled in any part of the old countries where so many people were congregated together. Raiatea.—The missionary bark John Williams brought out from England the Rev. Geo. Piatt, who had been home on a visit. He has been a missionary in the South Seas for 42 years, yet, writes our correspondent, "he appears to have the stamina of several years labor in him yet." Rarotonga.—The Rev. Mr. Krause, a German, under the patronage of the London Missionary Society, who was formerly stationed at Huahine, is now to be located at Rarotonga. He visited Honolulu two or three years since. Loyalty Island.—Two new English missionaries have been sent out for the Loyalty Islands, where there has hitherto been only native missionaries preaching the Gospel. They will be stationed upon the island of Lefu. Rev. Mr. Creagh (son-in-law of the excellent missionary Buzzacot, formerly of Rarotonga,) occupies the island of More. �TH I FRIEND.

This first class clipper ship, Captain Johnson, left San Francisco, bound for China, with 175 Chinese passengers, on the 10th September, and when five days out was discovered to be on fire. Everything was done which the circumstances would permit for extinguishing the flames, but they spread so rapidly that in a few moments it was clearly manifest that the vessel must burn, and the passengers must betake themselves to their Most providentially, at this critical moment, the British ship Achilles, bound for Sydney, loaded with wheat, sailed within a short distance of the burning vessel. Arrangements were immediately made for the transfer of the passengers and treasure. In the language of C. C. Harris, Esq., a pasboats for safety. senger on board the Mastiff, the result is thus stated : "It is rare, if not indeed unprecedented, that in such a scene as that above sketched so few casualties occur. The loss of but one life, and that from a cause entirely independent of any one except himself, and the fact that no accident happened to the boats either in leaving the burning, or coming alongside the sailing ship, is quite remarkable." The passengers and crew of the Mastiff were all received on board the Achilles, and treated in the most hospitable and generous manner. Nearly all the treasure, amounting to over $SO,OOO, was also saved. Passengers and treasure were brought in safety to Honolulu. A Court of Admiralty awarded the ship Achilles $7,500 as salvage, and said vessel has already sailed for Sydney. It was surely the high privilege of the Captain and crew of that vessel to render acts of humanity that will be long remembered. We learn that the Chinese passengers rescued from the Mastiff have already engaged their passage for China per American ship Eliza d* Ella. Among the passengers on board the ill-fated H.

Addresses.—Most associations when desirous of a public address, look abroad for some talented speaker, but the Dashaways have no occasion to go out of their own order for s]>eakers. Since the publication of our last number, Messrs. Ingraham, McDulfee and Woodman have delivered addresses. The address of Capt. McDuffee was repeated by special request, and portions of it have been published in the Polynesian. We understand that another member of the Society will deliver an address next Saturday evening. We bespeak for Mr. Irwin a full house, for we are fully confident he will present something worthy of the attention of the public. We shall be glad to see a good representation of shipmasters, officers and seamen. The following are the officers of the Society: A. Potter, President. i\. K'Goi.s, Vice-President. G. W. Mills. Secretary. Capt. Oat, Treasurer. The Hesperian—For August, hasbeen received. This is a monthly publication, edited by Mrs. P. Day, of San Francisco. Each number contains the protrait of some pioneer on the Pacific coast. The number now lying upon our table we have read with much delight. We hope this periodical will be well sustained, for in a few years the amount of historical information gathered up by its industrious editor will be exceedingly valuable. The September number will contain the portrait of our fellow townsman, Captain John Paty, now commanding the Fra/tres Palmer. Captain Paty's portrait should be accompanied by an engraving of the old Don Quixotte, which he commanded for so many years upon the coast of California and trading between the coast and the islands. Through the kindness of Capt. Neil of the Lewis, we are most happy to acknowledge the reception of three packages of books in the languages of the natives of the South Seas. This supply embraces Bibles, Pilgrim's Progress, hymn books, &c,, fee,, for distribution among the natives of the South Seas who visit Honolulu on board American whale ships. This supply is very opportune, and was forwarded by the Key. George Gill of Rarotonga. We would also acknowledge a copy of " Gems from the Coral Islands," in two volumes. This work embraces a most complete account of the islands in the South Seas. We prize the book exceedingly. In our last we noticed No. 1 of the Pacific Expositor. Nos. 2 and 3 have been received. We are pleased with their contents. Their reading will lead to a careful perusal of the Bible and love for its truths. We are glad to learn that Dr. Scott finds that the Expositor takes well among the people of California. May it become a " permanent institution" on the Pacific coast. Some months ago ourattention was arrested by reading the short, pithy and sensible paragraphs going the rounds of the newspapers, and copied from Hall's Health Journal, published in New York. We have recently received The Fireside Monthly, edited by the same Dr. Hall. This is a fine publication, full of articles upon such subjects as we cannot know too much about. It contains many useful hints about every-day matters; and if a young man or woman should read its pages from month to month, they will learn what becomes a sensible gentlemen or well-bred lady.

It is a book full of briars and vipers. As for the Hebrew, those who learn it immediately become Jews." This, we have reason to believe, was the sentiment of the fifteenth century at Rome. In the commencement of the sixteenth century, when the Vulgate was placed between the Hebrew text and the Greek text in the famous Bible of Alcala, Cardinal Ximenes said that it was Christ betwixt the two thieves. I have nothing to say as to the Cardinal's consistency ia permitting the Hebrew and the Greek to appear in that famous polyglot when he regarded them as thieves (catrones); neither do I know with how much less favor he would regard a heretic than a thief; but I think that Heretics" was not far out of the way when he said that " the Greek is a heretical language at Rome." " Ai.io.uis. Italian War Ended.—While the public were expecting to hear of new engagements in Italy between the allied armies and the Austrians, after the terrible battle of Solferino, news arrived that an armistice had been concluded between the two Emperors, which was soon followed by a " treaty of peace," signed at Villafranca, July 11. An Italian confederation is to be formed under the hot.o- Paris. The principal English journals censure the terms of peace, considering that the war has been waged to no practical purpose. Balloons in War.—In order to improve all advantages an expedient was adopted, which is not new indeed, but which appears now under quite dilfercnt circumstances. The brothers Goddard, of aeronautic repute, who came out some time ago provided with their best apparatus, made on a recent afternoon their first experiment at Castelnedolo. One of them made an ascent in a -mall bnlloon to explore the position of the enemy beyond the China. Having first mounted on the campanile to take the bearings, and make himself somewhat acquainted with the country, he entered his little skiff, and went up in the air with a regularity which, according to those who saw the ascent, showed he was master of his eccentric conveyance. He rose to a height of from 500 to 700 yards, stopped for a minute or so, and then descended again with as much regularity as he had shown in ascending. As you remember, under Napoleon I. attempts were made to acquire information of the enemy's position by these means; but, in the then state of aeronautic experience, not much could be made of these means. Now, aeronauts pretend to have succeeded in regulating the movements of their balloons with tolerableaccuracy, and certainly the many successful ascents seem proof of a certain proficiency.

Prom that narrative wo glean the following summary of facts, which we are confident will he read with interest by many of our readers The John Williams sailed on her first voyage from England in 1844. She has made nine voyages. She is tho largest missionary vessel in the Pacific—probably in the world ; and the work assigned her is greater, even beyond the excess of her tonnage, than that of almost any other vessel engaged in the same work. For, first, she starts from England,and every third or fourth year returns thither. On her outward voyage, she is generally quite lull of passengers, her own stores, supplies lor the missionaries and teachers, paper and other printing and binding materials, and Bibles and other books. On her return voyage, she takes to England, for education, between twenty and thirty chiidren of the missionaries, with perhaps two or three missionaries and their wives, whom sickness, the care of tho children on the voyage, and other reasons, compel to proceed homo. She also conveys many hundred pounds value, in cash or island produce, the proceeds of the sales of books, and voluntary contributions in aid of the Society's funds. Secondly, on entering the Pacific, the John Williams calls at some colonial ports, particularly Sydney, where she prepares for her cruise among the islands, and takes on board any goods the missionaries may have ordered from that market. That port then becomes the center of her movements, and before again leaving the Pacific for Europe, she returns there for repairs, recruits, and supplies for the missions, either once or twice, according as her absence form England is for three or four years. Thirdly, her main circuit in the Pacific, which extends from Sydney to Tahiti, is very considerable. And fourthly, her deviations from the regular line of her circuit, in conveying and visiting our missionories and teachers are very : i, OCTOBER, 1859. eral of them three times. Seven islands not actually visited by her, receive large benefits from her. The aggregate population of these forty-four islands is about 100,000, in which total 20,000 heathen are included. Twenty. thn i- missionaries labor in those islands, the extreme stations occupied by them being 3,000 miles apart. Forty Karotongan and Suvnoan missionary teachers are stationed in what are to them foreign lands, .">()() miles, and some of them more than "000 miles, from their homes, Must nf those missionaries and teachers have wives and children, The salety, health, comfort and usefulness of all those parties is intimately dependent on the John Williams. Those laborers are aided by inure than 300 li'uehers, who are regularly appointed to the caro of villages or districts in their native islands nr groups. One result of the operations of these various laborers is the formation of churches, in which .-in- gathered an aggregate of about 7000 members. One glory of the Jo/tn Williams is, that she knows no sectional distinctions in the great work in which she is employed, Aid as far as possible all who "love outLord Jesus Christ in sincerity" in their efforts to diffuse the Gospel, is her motto, Her missionaries belong to various denominations, and four ofthe above number are not connected with the London Missionary Society. Eight other islands were formerly visited by the John Williams or the Camden, or by missionary agents sustained by those vessels; on two nl which converts were made, and the light of truth still shines. It should be remembered, that the visits of the John 117/- : I'm/us are not mere calls or explorations wherever she touches she leaves some substantial benefit, in the form of teachers or missionaries, supplies for the support of such agents, or books or other materials adapted to enlighten the people and to promote tho efficiency of the mission. At every place her boats are lowered, and during'each year she easts anchor from fifteen to twenty times. The vigilance and care of her captain and officers, and the attention and tabor of her cn-w, are in constant requisition. Intercourse with tribes so various, many of them degraded and cruel, though possessing features of interest, calls lor much tact and prudence on the part ol those on board) tests their powers of forbearance, and sometimes exposes them to dangers. Many prayers ascend to God from England, the Australian Colonies, and the islands, for the safety of the vessel and all on hoard of her, as well as for the success of her mission; and the fact that, though for fourteen years she has been employed generally in thn ailing her way among the islands of the Pacific, and though she has been in great danger ol total wreck, and several times last aground, no serious injury has been sustained by her, or by any on board, may properly be regarded as an answer to those prayers, and as a remarkable display of the care exercised over her by Divine Providence. : A OusVaXJIBU Plavkk.—Tho following paragraph, copied from mi eastern paper, will be interesting to Captain Silva was nn old ninny of our readers. whafeman, well kaown In this part of Hie world.— : He lelt Honolulu Inst fill mi n liuiaeaeid cruise 'I'lie shin Atlantic which ha* been fating at Hew Bedford since lur arrival on the attth .lime, tor a pretended whaling voyage, lot which has been buspetted of not being exactly in that line of Hitinrtfj wuson Thundav laet taken in ehargi by United States officers, upon iiiliii-iiiiitioii lodged in Huston, by parties residing in New York. The Atlantic, which Ion! been in the stream lor several days, finishing lending and taking in water, cleared for the Indian Ocean, was towed to the Lower harbor and was to proceed to sea that morning, having waited, as it has been teen, for tome passenger! who were bound to l-'aynl, where the ship was to touch. Ker officers and crew were nil on board* The Atlantic is a snip of G.l.i tons, was built in 1886,and is owned by hcrcouiiiiuiidcr, t'apt. Francis ,1.

Maciet, master and owner of the ship Comoro, brougbt to this port from Huston, and now titling lur a whaling voyage, Tin- Atlantic was formerly a whaler from New London, but Ims lately been engaged in tbe nierobaat service out of New York. Oapt Bilva was formerly master of ship Oov. Troup, of New Bedford. The matter remains in " abeyance* From the N. I>. Stand trd we ham that the Allontir waesupposed to have been purchased, together with the ship Comoro, in behalf of a Havana firm, I'er the slave trade. She was to be discharged immediately, in order that she might be searched. The FieldBT.-wtoaAhgrlanepr correspondent, writing from Brescia on 24th June, reports a fact which has not hitherto transpired, concerning the Beientifio appliance of electricity to war purposes. It would appeal that tho remarkable precision and unity of the French evolutions were accomplished by a quite novel sort of flying aide-de-camp. From each corps, once in a position, a horseman rode oil' to the next division, unrolling on his rapid course, a light wire, which no time was lost in adapting to a Geld apparatus ; and the process was repeated all alone; the French line of twulvo miles. Hence ilie movement of the whole army waa known and regulated like clock-work, " from dawn to dewy eve." on that decisive day. Tills arrangement had been planned in I'aris, and a supply of gutta perclia-coverod metal thread forwarded with secrecy and dispatch. It haß done its work, and the patent may now bo disclosed. Portable galvanism bents portable gas. It was already known to both armies that a special telegraphic corps operated in the rear of the Allies, and laid wire as fast as an advance was nude. M. Lair is the chief engineer, and the first Frenchman who entered Novara, while the Auttrians were scarce yet out of it, was IM. Uantbier, of that staff, who set up his box and telegraphed the details of the retreating corps at the moment they were outside the gates. Lonato, Montechiaro and Castiglione were in instant communication with Brescia and Milan when evacuated by the foe on 23d Jam. Naval.—Honolulu has been, this year, an unusually long time without a man-of-war in port. Now, however, the charm is broken, and as tho busy sousou ha* commenced, we may expect, tieforo long, to see the flags of several war vessels flying in our harbor. Recently His French Imperial Majesty's corvette Coin-luittinv arrived, nuil a salute of twentyone cannon, given and returned, reminded the Honolulu people of old times.
