Recent intelligence is quite astonishing. Not long since, President Lincoln sent for a deputation of colored people to meet him at the White House! This is a new thing in the history of the Republic. But in addition to all other news, President's Proclamation of universal emancipation of the slaves of all Rebels, on the Ist of January, takes us altogether by surprise. Depend upon it, we shall soon hear of an African army ! General Butler has already enlisted several companies of white soldiers, and some that are not quite to white. It is a remarkable and note-worthy fact, that two of the most daring nnd heroic incidents of the war were performed by colored men, and we believe both were slaves. We refer to the re-capture of the schooner, the name of which we have forgot, and the sailing of the steamboat Planter, out of Charleston harbor, by Robert Small and his associates, on the 12th of May. What General, Major, Captain, soldier or sailor, has performed a more daring and successful achievement during the whole war ? By a late paper, we learn that there is a call for 50,000 " contrabands" to proceed to Kansas, to labor upon the Pacific rail-road. Depend upon it, if the slaves are freed, their labor will all be needed within the limits of th« country, and we shall expect to witness a migration of colored people from Canada to trie Southern States. trie {dft Strits, i 81 History of English Preaching in Honolulu. — California mail,a letter was forour care, for the Rev C.

Anderson, Chaplain of the 3d Regiment of California Volunteers, thus writes from Utah, as follows : "Dear brother: It gives me pleasure to communicate to you a new proof of the comforting words, " cast thy bread upon the waters, and thou shalt find it after many days." Some years ago, a German sailor was taken sick on your island, and sent to a hospital, which you was in the habit of visiting. Yesterday, while marching as an enlisted soldier in the 3d Infantry, of California Volunteers, a mule which he was riding caused him to fall before the wheels of one of our heavy commissary wagons, which ran over him, crushing his lungs and breaking some of his ribs. His name is S. A. Myers, and he desires me to send you the following message, which I do in nearly his own language. "Writeto Mr. Andrews, who was and is a missionary in Maui. He is the first man, who ever talked to me about my soul. He first told me to rend my Bible. I was sick in the Hospital, and from morning until night he used to be in the Hospital. He used to talk and pray with me, and read the Bible to me. After I got well, he got me a place as a steward in the Hospital. * 1 want you to tell Mr. Andrews that I thank him for all the kindness he did to me. He was good to me and I thank him for it." The letter contains "much more, in a similar strain. It is gratifying and encouraging to learn, that seed cast at random is springing up, and bearing precious fruit. At the time this letter was written, the soldier was not expected to survive. (ri'RLISHED BY RKO.IK.-T.)

The children of Israel weTc strictly enjoined by their lawgiver, Moses, after this manner " And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in tba wilderness." Oftentimes, Moses at the direction of Jehovah, recalled the minds of the Jews to the dealings of God with them. The principle is a sound one, that it it not only proper, but exceedingly profitable to recall the past events of our lives, and by reflection thereon, endeavor for the future to regulate our conduct, more in accordance with the principles of the Bible and precepts of our Saviour.

The mixed assembly.— representing various nations, nnd embracing both landsman and seamen, is indicative of what the assemblies have always been in Honolulu, which have gathered to listen to the preaching of the gospel. Honolulu has always been, more than any other place in the Pacific, the spot where have centered the representatives of many nationalities. Here the dwellers from the " South Seas" who gaze at night upon the Southern Cross, meet visitors from the cold regions of the North, who gaze upon the Northern Polar Star. Here the European and American meet the representatives from India, China, Japan and other Oriental lands. Our limited foreign community of two thousand, often embraces those speaking fifteen or twenty different languages. It has always been so, since the harbor of Honolulu was discovered, in the 1794, by Capt. Brown, master of the English ship Buttendorth. As I am now referring to events of an historical nature, I would mention the fact, that the*English Burial Service, is traditionally reported to have been read, for the first time, by Capt. Brown, over the remains of the American Shipmaster Capt. Kendrick, who commanded the American sloop Lady Washington. Capt. Kendrick, was accidenta]ly killed, by the wad of a gun fired, as a salute, on board the English ship Butterworth. For convenience, I shall divide the period of forty-two years, during which the gospel has been preached in Honolulu, into four smaller periods, of about ten years each ; the first commences with the preaching of Mr. Bingham, already referred to, and ends with the establishment of the Bethel, in 1833 under the patronage of the American Seamen's Friend Society: the second period, embraces the years from 1833 to 1842, or during the period of the Rev. J. Diell's ministry; the third period embraces those years, from 1842 to 1852, or during the first ten years of my ministry, and while I was the only Protestant clergyman preaching in the English language, in Honolulu. TJte fourth period., embraces the yean, from 18tft to 1862. first Period. This period commences with (he landing of the Missionaries in Honolulu, Seamen's Friend Society. On the 10th. of February, 1830, the Rev. Samuel Whitney, wrote to the Rev. C. P. Mcllvaine, (now Bishop Mcllvaine, of Ohio) corresponding secretary of that Society, requesting, in the name of the Sandwich Island Mission, that a chaplain might be sent to Honolulu. From that communication, I copy as follows:—"At a late meet in j of the Mission I was appointed to write you, as secretary of the A. S. F. Society, and invite your attention to the subject of sending hither a missionary, to labor among that interesting class of men, whose wants have excited your sympathies and call- ed forth your truly benevolent exertions. In all the countries to which our seamen resort, perhaps there is not a place to be found where the labors of your society nro so much needed, as at this port. There are about two hundred English and Americans who reside on the island. From one hundred to one hundred and fifty ships touch here, most of them semi-annually. Their crews are usually from twenty to thirty each, so it is not uncommon that we have more than a thousand sailors here at once." Sailor's Magazine, Dec. 1830. This appeal met with a most favorable reception, and the officers of the Society immediately commenced laying their plans for the permanent establishment of this Chaplaincy. There were many difficulties which it Was necessary to overcome. Honolulu, via Cape Horn, was 18,000 miles from New York—the Society was new and its funds small—and many other obstacles presented In the meantime, the missionaries were so much impressed with the importance of the work, that the Rev. E. W. Clark, and Rev. R. Tinker, were appointed or expected to keep up religious services in the English language. Mr. Andrew Johnstone, a native of Dundee, Scotland, and subsequently resident of the West Indies and the United States, was appointed one of the secular agents of the American Mission, but with the understanding on the part of the Board in Boston, that he should devote a part of his time to visiting among He comseamen, and distributing Bibles. menced his labor* in Honolulu, in I^3l. themselves. G. B. C. Ingraliam. Were this the time and place, 1 could say much in regard to the importance and usefulness of that school, where so many hundreds of both sexes, in Honolulu, have been taught during the last thirty years. I have now alluded to that enterprise, as it grew so naturally out of an effort to benefit seamen, and was really started by one of them. I am now led to speak of the establishment of the Bethel Chapel, in Honolulu, during the, Secoiui Period, embracing the years, from 1833 to 1842. During the year 1832, the A. S. F. Society, established three foreign chaplaincies-one in Havre, France, the second in Canton, China, and the third at Honolulu. The Rev. John Diell, was appointed to this chaplaincy. He sailed with his wife and other missionaries, bound to these islands, from New London, Connecticut, on the 20th of Nov., 1832,and arrived here on the Ist of May, 1833. From the annual report of the SociThe ety, for 1834, 1 quote as follows : chaplain carried out with him a considerable part of the materials for erecting a chapel and dwelling-house. Through the good Providence of God, he was well received by the King and principal chiefs, as well as by the English and American residents, and was immediately furnished with a place of temporary worship, and every facility afforded him for erecting the chapel. The foundation was laid on the 29th of July, and the building was erected on the 22d of last " August." The edifice here described is the one in which we are now assembled. Externally it remains the same, but the internal arrangements are entirely changed. The edifice was dedicated to the worship of God, on Thursday, November 28, 1833, when publicreligious services were commenced, and have been continued with scarcely the omission of a single Sabbath, from that day to this pres- time. From all I can learn respecting the character and success of the Rev. Mr. Diell, he was emphatically the right man, in the " taken great deright place." I have always light in perusing the letters of Mr. Diell, as published in the Sailor's Magazine, and his ent �THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 18 62. articles in the Hawaiian Spectator, of which he wasa leading editor. Very frequently have I met shipmasters and seamen, who were personally acquainted with him. From them, as well ns from his missionary brethren, I have became intimately acquainted with the character of my predecessor. He was a very acceptable preacher, and most His whole soul kind hearted man. was in his work, yet in its discharge he was not permitted to labor but a few years. His health became so much impaired, in the autumn of 1839, that he was compelled to relinquish preaching. As it did not essentially improve during the following months, he embarked for China, on the 11th of April, 1839, having made arrangements with the Rev. Mr. Tinker to officiate, during his absence. Mr. Diell's health continuing to decline, he pursued his voyage around the world, returning to Honolulu, in June, 1810. Here he remained for ;i few months and embarked, with his wife and children, for the United States, in December, but died at sea, January 18, 1841, arid his mortal remains were consigned to the deep, there to rest until the voice of the Arch-angel's trump shall summon " the sea to give up its dead." You will pardon me for dwelling thus long, in sketching the history of English preaching, previous to my arrival. Third period. This period embraces the first half of my ministry in Honolulu. I would thus divide my ministry, because during this period, as I have remarked I was the sole Protestant clergyman here, with the exception of a few months during the year 1848, when the Rev. T. Dwight Hunt, preached most acceptably to a congregation of foreign residents, worshipping in the Sharity School house. The friends of the enterprise then failed in organizing a second religious society, in consequence of the very large emigration from Honolulu to California. Under the peculiar circumstances of that movement, Mr. Hunt left for San Francisco, where his services were immediately secured as chaplain,—being the first Protestant clergyman in that city, and as, is well known, he subsequently became pastor of the congregational church, now presided over by the Rev. Mr. Lacy. It was my privilege to enter upon my official duties, in this city at a most interesting era in the history of the Hawaiian nation and of commerce in the Pacific. At that time, this nation was struggling to assume an honorable position una standing among the civilized and christian nations of the earth. During my passage from New York to Honolulu, agents accredited by this Government, had left to secure a recognition of this nation, by the great powers of America, England and France. It was a period of threat excitement. Just before my arrival a naval commander of France had made demands upon the King and chiefs, which were very humiliating but to the house of the French nation, restitution has been made, and only a few weeks after my arrival I saw the Hawaiian flag lowered and the British flag hoisted upon all government buildings, forts and vessels. While I entertained my own views upon those political changes and revolutions, yet I never allowed myself to make any of them form topics of discourse from lire pulpit.

We congratulate the friends of Episcopacy, upon the arrival of Bishop Staly and two other clerical Missionaries from England It has appeared strange to many, that Engglisli Missionaries should never have conic hither, the Rev. William Ellis being the only one, who has hitherto labored upon the islands. He remained here but a short period, and closed his term of labor near forty years ago. The reason why the London Missionary Society, (which has sent missionaries to the Society Islands,) has never sent any to the Sandwich Islands has been this, that between the American Board of Missions and the London Missionary Society there was this understanding, that the Americans should occupy islands North of the line, and the English, the "South Seas." Now, the present Mission comes at the invitation of His Majesty and foreign residents in Honolulu, and under the auspices ofthe " Church Missionary Society" and the old "Propagation Society," both Societies contributing for its support. The members of this Mission find many things on their arrival to encourage them in their work The Royal Family and many of the foreign residents are much interested in their success. The Methodist Chapel affords good accommodations, as a temporary place, for holding Divine Service. We earnestly pray that the Mission may enjoy a prosperous career, and bo instrumental in imparting n deeper spiritual earnestness to the churches and organizations already existing, as well as be theagency which the Holy Spirit shall employ to awaken, renew, sanctifyand prepare many souls for those " mansions not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."

I appreciate now, aa I have ever done, your kindness, sympathy, and aid. Allow me to congratulate you on the arrival of a Bishop and other clergj bum of the Church of England, under whose ministry you are now placed.

Page 82. I. Several chapters in Mr. Hopkins' book, tting to the earlier history of the islands, i very entertaining and written in a lively le. The reader however must be on his guard, and not place too much reliance upon the author's dates and statements. He asserts, for example, upon page 160, that, Nahienaena born in 1816, and sister of Kamehameha 111., is now Premier of the kingdom, under the name of the Princess Victoria! The truth is, Nahienaena, died more than twenty years ago. Now, on page 271, our author correctly states that, Victoria, sister to the present King is Premier ! But on the same page Mr. Hopkins, asserts that Victoria's third brother, is Governor of one of the islands, whereas, he died many years ago ! We could easily point out many similar mistakes. He speaks on page 211, of Dr. Judd, as a minister of the gospel. We are aware that the Doctor has filled many offices, but now learn for the first time that he has been minister of the gospel!— We were amused with the author's allusion to Mr. Jarves, on page 124. He is spoken of as " a candid and industrious historian, but an American citizen/ Now, whether there is anything incompatable in Mr. Hopkins' mind, between " a candid historian," and an " American citizen," we do not know, but his language would certainly convey that idea. Of late some few American citizens have written histories of tolerable ability, viz., Prescott, Bancroft, Motley and others. Mr. Wyllie, seems to be in the estimation of Mr. Hopkins, the "main spoke" in the government wheel, or to employ Mr. Hopkins' own language, " the keystone of the governmental arch," page 268. Now if the King's foreign minister does really occupy so important a position, we beg of him, not to resign his office, or to speak in more courtly style, " throw up his portfolio" and retire to Princeville, as consequences the most disastrous might follow! The keystone gone, " stand from under." It appears to us, utterly unaccountable, how Mr. Hopkins could have allowed himself to have inserted on page 242, that wood-cut of the Rev. William Richards. He remarks upon a fly leaf, that it is " a sketch fretn memory by the author." Was there ever anything more absurd, than for Mr. Hopkins to insert this engraving ! He had met Mr. Richards, in 1844 or '5, and now seventeen years afterwards, he undertakes to sketch his likeness from memory! From our vivid recollection of Mr. Richards' fea- chapter XXIV, he speaks of " missionary achivement and failure." He seems tolerably well '• read up," before commencing to write his book. The works of Ellis, Dibble, and numerous missionary reports lie upon this table, to which he makes frequent allusion. As he contrasts the state of the Hawaiian nation in 1820 with thatof 1860, he is compelled to record much to the credit of the band of " Bostonians who landed in Hawaii." "To the honor of the missionaries be it said, that their little Augustinian ness to Mr, Richards' memory, whose char- band bravely labored on ; encountered with acter and deeds have become historical, it patience intellectual and other obstacles; merits no slur or tarnish from any member of and made themselves masters of a difficult the Hopkins' family of London.

In contrast with such lanauthor came to Honolulu, and now for Mr. guage, which seems reluctantly recorded, Manly Hopkins to caricature the friend of let the reader peruse the following : " Relithat brother, is an outrage upon all the rules gion as taught by the American Missionaries of good breeding !

In sketching our notices of the missionstations, we shall commence with that of Ronokiti, where the' Rev. Mr. Sturges has been laboring since 1852. Caroline Islands. Ronokiti.—This station is upon the island of Ascension. Our letters from the Rev. Mr. Sturges were dated November 14,1861, and August 2d and 4th, 1862. We copy as follows t "November 14th, 1861.—1 hove regularly visited the Shalong station monthly, race the Morning Star left. All is quiet. The chiefs and people have respected the property. Nothing has been disturbed, and I went among them with the greatest pruat Shalong does dencj. The little church well. Jaomautou is one of the noblest of men—he is a christian. It is my purpose to visit them as often as once a month this year, but the journey is a wearing one, and then how little good can be done by a short visit. They much need some one to reside Will not your Christian among them. islanders remember them in their petitions to the Throne of Grace." Editorial Remarks.—The Shalong station is near twenty miles from Ronokiti, and we can testify that it is a most difficult and wearisome journey. In consequence of the tides, it must be performed, partially by night, and the weary voyager is in danger of being left high and dry" upon the coral " flats, several miles from land. Return of the Morning Star.—On the return of the missionary packet, Mrs. Sturges and children returned to Ronokiti, and in view of their return, the Rev. Mr. Sturges thus writes under date of August 2d : " The Morning Star returns and brings to the lone one, the light of home, so we are again a united family; what favored ones we are j how can I be thankful enough for the kindness shown my dear family whilst absent from their home ? How much we have to assure us that we are near by a world offriends ; that we are not out of mind though far away out of sight. " I think your visit to Micronesia must have done you good, as it certainly has us ; and we hope this interest in these lonely islands will continue. hear of the effort of our little " Youto will church put up a house of worship, which they have much needed. Next time you visit us we shall hope to Invite you to a more civilized pulpit. There has been but little of special interest"among us during the past year—our congregation has a little increased in number and Interest, these have been taken into our church, and several others are giving pretty good evidence of being interested In good things. It seems sad to think of these poor peoble being left to go back to darkness. had but few ships in our ports, " Weninehave some in all j they have greatly favored us in bringing news from friends antl the busy world. How hard for you to sympathize with us fully, in our longing to hear from our loved but deeply afflicted country; battles are fought, and the most shameful of all rebellions nearly crushed out before we knew anything of what is going on. Surely these are stirring times! the day is breaking when that curse of all curses, slavery, is soon to be out of the way of the progress of the gospel, then the world will soon be given to the King of Heaven ! 1 have long regarded American slavery as more in the way of the conversion of the world, than heathenism ; let christian nations give themselves to the Lord, and the heathen will soon follow! Oh, the blessing of living in these times, we may hope to see the full dawn of light! Let us nrottse to the full responsibility of our position." Strong's Island. —ln the correspondence of the missionaries, this island is known by the name of Kusaie, which is the native name. It has been occupied as a mission station, by the Rev. G. B. Snow and wife, since 1852. He has now removed to Ebon, one of the Marshall Islands. The number of the inhabitants in December, 1860,was 748. This is not over one-half what it was ten years ago. The decrease is supposed still to be in progress. Considering the small number of the inhabitants, compared with the thousands of the Marshall Islands, Mr. Snow's removal was decided upon. It was exceedingly trying for the missionary to break away from his people, and the little church there gathered. We have several sheets from Mr. Snow, presenting the "lights and shadows'" of missionary life. In referring to his trials among the natives —their instability, ignorance and dark-heartedness, " but this sort of opposition" he remarks, " don't send the cold iron to our hearts as that we are now receiving from another source." Reference is here made to a certain shipmaster, whose conduct is most scandalous and disgraceful. Respecting his course of life, Mr. Snow remarks " Before left, I found that he had taken Capt. a woman from one of the other islands, and had her on board—l don't know how long—but as it was not convenient for him to take her back, he put her ashore here ! And but for Jim Fanning," of Ocean Island, she would "have remained here, and have found a loathsome death ; but the christian world must not know these things, and so I will write something else." Editorial Remarks.—No class of men among the Polynesian Islands is more potent for good or evil, weal or woe, than that of shipmasters and their crews. How far publicity should be given to the real facts is a question upon which there is a difference of opinion among good people. The danger is, that a class will be made to suffer for the sins of individuals, which would not be right, but that sufficient publicity should be : given to the base conduct of the guilty to deter others from trespassing, there can l>e no doubt. There are now no dark corners in Polynesia where the workers of iniquity can hide themselves ! The following extracts from the letters of Mr. Snow will show, that shipmasters and seamen can make the missionaries' heart glad: left, we had another Captain " Before arrival, ship Desdemona, Bates, N. 8., an old acquaintance of ours, that is, he was here in '53 as boatsteerer, and we found in him a christian brother—and he then said, if he ever had the command of a vessel, he should hoist the Bethel flag ; and, true to his word, we found that the Bethel flag was run up every Sabbath. As might be expected, we enjoyed his visit with us exceedingly. He had been deeply nfflicted in the loss of his wife, since he lelt home, " a wife who was all the world to him," as he expressed it. He is a man of strong feelings, young and ardent—his first voyage master. One of the Sabbaths he was with us, we received fifteen to our church. A day not soon to be forgotten in the religious history of poor Kusaie. We have received five others since. So that now we have quite a religious community about us. But most of this has been reported to your islands before this by Brother Doane. I want to say before 1 go any farther, that we"most sincerely and devoutly thank you for your generous donation of latest papers, by Capt. Lubbers, bark German. You can hardly understand how eagerly we devoured all the war-news. That was our latest intelligence, except a couple of Sydney papers by a passing vessel, sent to us by the mate through one of our natives. Though an April paper, it had next to nothing in it from the States. They were expecting we would have trouble with England upon the sea. O that such a disaster may never fall upon England or the States. How we do long to hear from the world. But we are too busy in getting ready for Ebon, to have any time to be impatient, even if the Morning Star is delayed into July. I am fearing that we shall be recalled. Our earnest prayer is against it. Not but that it would be pleasant enough to see the world and its people again, home and friends once more, but what will become of our dear Micronesia? Who will come to supply our lack of service ? Ah no, we are not to be recalled, till we are called to a higher service, I trust. But who is coming to make us a visit this year ? We of Dove Island shall not object to seeing brother Damon here again, provided he gets wind-bound, and has to stay a fortnight instead of a week. I feel sorry that we did not make more of your visit with us, that I had not taken more pains to have gone about the island a little, and Jet you see more of my people. But you know how precious every minute of our time was to us, and the weather was not inviting for lengthy excursions, as you may remember. But your visit let me tell you again, did us a deal ot good. And your Morning Star papers, I can but hope, will awaken a deep and abiding interest ir all our mission. " Aug. 28, 1862.—And (he Morning Star �lias come and almost gone. She reached us July 18, A. M., the same P. M., myself and family went on board, encountering a smart squall while in the boat. The next Tuesday (22nd,) we were at Ronokiti harbor. A touching- meeting was our arrival at Ponape. Mr. Sturges to meet his wife and family, after a year's separation. Mr. Doane to learn that he was next to meet his dear wife and a part, at least, of his family in Heaven. Few hearts would have been tin moved to have seen the bereaved brother as 1 announced the painful intelligence. He fell into my arms und poured out his first trrief in a flood of weeping. Those only who have received such intelligence can understand the feelings, or measure the grief. Some will think it strange, perhaps, that he hardly expected to hearofMrs. Doane's death, but you will learn of his feelings from his own |>en, or from his lips, if he visits Honolulu this year. In two weeks we were plowing our way back to Kusaie, which we reached the following Thursday, being drifted much of the way back by an easterly current, culms, calms, calms. Happy and thankful you may be assured we were to find all things safe, and the little church doing well. We put a test to the honesty of our people, that but few might have stood. As we had to leave in a great hurry for Ponape, we left our dinner table just as we got up from it, dishes and all on it, our doors all open— king, chiefs, and common people in and about the house, closets and cook-house all open, and as yet we have not found anything missing! I cannot think it well that we did just as we did in leaving things so exposed. But it certainly speaks well for our people that they kept thqir trust so well. And the more so as our house was kept open three evenings in a week for prayer-meetings in our large room or hall. Certainly a great moral change has come over that people. What like the Gospel to make a people honest, and tfood citizens? It might have been pleasant to you to have sat with us and our little church the following Sabbath, at the table of our dying Lord, for the last time. It was our joy to receive three others into church fellowship that Sabbath, making thirty-two in all. There are still others who are in a hopeful way. But O, how they need a pastor, or teacher. We can hardly hope to find them all running well, should we ever be permitted to return to see them again. Though now they are like children of the Highest, so far as we can now rend them. 1 do hope that your parishioners may not put -.tumbling blocks in the way oftheir progress, 1 can but hope they may, many of them, try to encourage them in the ways of well-doing, and if possible, help them in the way of clothing, by purchasing such things as they may lie able to raise, if the chiefs do not interfere." Marshall Islands. The only mission-station in this group of islands is upon the island of Ebon Covell's or Boston. Ebon is the native inline. It is the most southerly island of the group. All the islands of this jjroup are low coral formations, but owing in the amount of rain, (hey are well wooded, and covered with foliage. A niiv 91 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1862. sion has been established upon Ebon since 1857. The inhabitants of these islands were formerly very savage, and have cut off the crews of several vessels. The Glencoe, of San Francisco, was cut off at Ebon, in 1852, and the Sea Nymph, ol the same port, was cut ofT, at another island of the group, in December of the same year. Other vessels have there been cut ofr and the crews murdered. When the mission was establish- and when even two vessels had been attacked, and one destroyed by tfcis once savage people. We feel now the lost sailor, drifting about on the "•a, will, if here he touches, find a friendly people and home. Within the past year or two, and on an island of our group, but only two hundred miles distant, a lost boat and her crew were all cut off. There were on that dark island no men of God to bring light to the people. O may the time soon oonie when all the Marshall Islands shall be blessed with the light of the gospel. Your's truly, E. T.

From this letter we copy the following paragraphs, which present a vivid picture of the unsettled state ol these islands, and of the critical position lie :" : bloodless prize. "In 1860, Te Kourapi, the king of Tarawa, put to death a high chief, of whose influence and power he was jealous. The party of the murdered man fled to Apaiang where they found friends and home, though materially increasing the population. "About the beginning of the present year, Ten-Roua a brother-in-law of Te Kourapi, contrary lo the expressed wishes of the latter, took under his patronage two agents from an oil-trader, not belonging to the firm of Smith, Randell & Fairclough, Upon the arrival of Capt. Fairclough at Tarawa the latter part of January, Ten Bona, fearing an attack from the king, fled with his party to Apaiang, being accompanied by the two agents, and on the Ist of February his fleet appeared off our island, and were permitted to land in peace at the south end. Civil commotions in Maraki, drove off some people from that island, and they also found a refuge upon Apaiang. To provide for so many new comers, began at length to seem burdensome to our ppople. Not long after the arrival of Ten Roua, Nei-Ariri, the sister of our king Te-Kaira, an influential land-holder on Tarnwa, came over with her party. So also did Te Marcra, thefather of two young men who had married two of our king's daughters. All these Tarawan parties seemed dissatisfied with their present king, and even eager to be restored to their homes by Te Kaica. The office of arbitrator was accepted by him, and for weeks great preparations was made all over the island. On the 29th of March, he set sail with the greater portion of his fleet for the north end of Tarawa, a part having preceded him by a day. They landed without opposition, men, women and children—almost the entire population of our island—hauled their proas up on the beach along n distance of nearly two miles. The proas numbered some 325, including both great and small. Two cannon attached to the fleet were landed—temporary booths were erected for multitudes who could find no other shelter, and the work of devastation commenced. Young cocnartut trees were ruthlessly cut down—the older ones stripped of their fruit—also the pandanus trees and the taro-patches. Slowly they advanced southward toward the capital, devastating almost everything in their progress —in some places, setting fire to forests of fruit trees. The king of Tarawa was deserted by a large portion of his people —the remainder despairing, fled, almost taking their king with them by force* who wished to remain to die, fighting for the land of his fathers. After reaching the western extremity of the Kaiea. " During our absence at the west, one of his men had been put to death upon this island at the order of our king as an emissary. On the 26th of August, Mr. Mahoo paid a visit to Kanoa and Auwai, accompanied by three natives, in a small boat. They arrived in the evening, and during the next forenoon, a mob assembled about Kanon's premises, bent on the death of one of the natives. They broke down his fence, made some attempt to enter the cook-house where the young men were concealed in a barrel. Konoa stripping off his own coat and laying open his shirt, begged the savages with cries and tears to kill him first. The mob eventually dispersed at the order of the king, and Mahoe was glad to beat a retreat on the morrow, doubtless glad to escape a possible repetition, of the shameful outrage. At present, there is no intercourse between the natives of the two islands. Kanoa and Aumai have recently visited our brethercu on Tarawa, and they have visited us since our arrival, and returned to-day, in safety we trust, with a fair wind to their wives and children."

We are gathered to celebrate our eighth anniversary, as a society, organized for the improvement of"the social, moral, and religious condition of seamen resorting to this port, by the establishment and maintenance of a Home of good character." Our Savior declares that " the tree is known by his fruit." We are willing that the principle asserted in this saying of Christ should be applied to the Sailors' Home enterprise in Honolulu. The fruit which has been produced upon this tree is good, and always has been good. Speaking negatively, no one can rise up and say, that he has been injured by the Home. It is an institution that surely has never done anyone any harm, but speaking positively, it has done an immense amount of good. It has entirely revolutionized the whole system of sailors' boarding-houses in Honolulu. It has afforded a temporary home to many hundreds of young men, during their short stay in Honolulu. It has been a centre, (including its reading room, depository, and boarding department,) where seamen have resorted and found those who are disposed to treat them with fairness, honesty, and ku-idness. The trustees have always been exceedingly fortunate in securing the services of an efficient matron to preside over the boarding department. Mrs. Thrum and Mrs. Oat have even done all that could be done by persons in their peculiarly perplexing, trying, and responsible situations. Their toils and labors merit a far higher remuneration than the trustees have ever been able to offer. During the period of Mrs Thrum's management, 1,400 boarders were connected with the establishment, and since February, 1861, when Mrs. Oat succeeded to the office of matron, 422 boarders have been inmates of the Home. The testimony of the boarders has uniformly been in favor of the establishment. It has been with no little difficulty that the Home has been sustained, during the last two or three years, owing to the great falling off in the shipping of the port. It is well known, that the principal object for building the Home was for the benefit of whalemen; but since 1854, when the project was started, the whaling fleet has fallen off from two hundred and fifty ships to twenty or thirty. Even more than this has been the falling off in the number of American and European seamen discharged at Honolulu. To a person not intimately acquainted with the numbers and character of seumen visiting Honolulu, it would hardly be credited that, to a great extent, American whaleships are now manned, not by Americans, but by Sandwich Islanders, South Sea Islanders, Spaniards from Guam and South Amer. ica, and Portuguese. On board of some American whaleships, there is scarcely an American before the msst. The poor "catches" for several years have tended to drive young American seamen out of the business; hence for some years there has been a constant drain upon the fleet, and the young men returned to the United States, and thousands of those who have formerly been pursuing the whale fishery in the South Pacific are now fighting the battles of their country on American soil. Report says, that New London hns a thousand men in the war, and a majority of those were doubtless in the whale fishery a few months ago. The same is true of New Bedford, Sag Harbor, and Nantucket. While whalemen are diminishing in numbers in Honolulu, merchant seamen are increasing. Under these circumstances, let no friend of the Sailor's Home be discouraged or imagine that the institution is now useless—by no means. Perhaps there are as many boarders now connected with the Home, in proportion to the number in port, as there were in 1856 and '57. We are decidedly of opinion that, so long as Honolulu remains a port, where even the present amount of shipping resorts, the Home should be sustained. The goods, people of Honolulu, we are confident, feel right upon this subject, and would spurn the idea of allowing the Home to go down. That should not be. No benevolent institution has ever paid better, to speak in the cant phraseolojy of the day. It now pays, although the dividend is not so large. By this, we are far from intimating that the Sailors' Home is, as yet, a self-supporting institution, but it approaches as nearly to that point as similar institutions in England and America, where the friends of seamen support " Homes" at an immense cost. The physical, moral and religious benefits infi- REVIEW. Noeth AnisicA—Uj Anthony Trollops, author of "The West Indies ami the Spanish Main," and several Novels.

Under these circumstances, the Trustees of the Honolulu Sailors' Home are resolved to keep the flag of the Home still flying. In closing this report, the Committee can not but bear testimony to the friendly feeling still alive in the community in behalf of the "Home." This feeling has thus been mani- Our first notice of this book was very brief. It merits a more extended review. The family-name of its author is familiar to all readers of American literature. His mother achieved a notoriety about thirty years ago, by writing a book upon the " Domestic manners of the Americans," which aroused the indignation of Brother Jonathan, and led the world to infer that there was something of truth in the hara raps which Mrs. Trollopc laid on. On the first page of the book lying before us, the son refers to his mother's book, and assumes a little too much, we think, when he remarks " All that she told was worth telling, and the telling, if done successfully, was sure to produce a good result. I am satisfied that it did so." This is rather cool, and we are a little surprised, that a man of Mr. Trollope's literary tastes should have found anything to glory over, in reviewing that book of his mother, which was more remarkable for its vulgar satire, and coarse portraiture of the Americans, than for any real talent at correct observation, or-just criticism. The son avoids telling his readers about his mother's disappointed hopes, and her unsuccessful schemes at Cincinnati, or how much her irritation and chagrin at not being admitted into good society had to do with her taking up the satirical pen and lashing the upstart Republicans. If Mrs. : ' Trollope's " Turkish Bazaar" at Cincinnati had been a success, she would have written a very different book, if she had written at all. If we remember aright, her book was published about the year 1832. A generation has since passed away, and now the son visits America to execute a plarfknnounccd in the very first sentence of his rook : " It hasbeen the ambition of my literary life to write a book about the United States, and I had made up my mind to visit the country with this object, before the intestine troubles of the United States Government had commenced." He has now written this book and a copy lies before us. Upon the whole, in our opinion, he has executed the task, which was "the ambition of his literary life," in a manner more satisfactory than could reasonably have been expected at the present time, while there it so much bitter and acrimonious feeling in active ebulition on both sides of the Atlantic. Unless we are much mistaken in our estimate of the book, it will operate like oil upon the troubled waters.

It could not be expected that an Englishman could travel through the country, and not meet with inconveniences which would call forth an-occasional growl. The mud of Cairo an<f*Washington was doubtless very bad. The off-hand independence of servants and porters at hotels would, of course, offend a traveler whose ideas have been formed after a European standard ! Yet Mr. Trollope lias the good sense to admit that an Irishman is a far better man for expatriating himself across the water, and breathing the free, wholesome, and invigorating air of America. Read the following from page HOO, "The Irishman, when he expatriates himself to one of those American states, loses much of that affectionate, confiding, master-worshipping nature which makes him ,o good a fellow when at home. But he becomes more of a man. He assumes a dignity which he has never known before. He learns to regard his labor as his own property. That which he earns, he takes without thanks, but he desires to take no more than he earns," See. We honestly confess that we are surprised at some of the admissions which our author makes in favor of America, in comparison with his own country. He really clinches the nail which Mr. G. F. Train has been hammering at in the Debating Clubs of London. We will illustrate this remark by referring, ffet, to the matter of education and religion, dWcussed in Chapter XIX. Read the following: " The one matter in which, as far as my judgment goes, the people of the United States have excelled us Englishmen, so as to justify them in taking to themselves praise, which we cannot take to ourselves, or refuse to them, is in the matter of education. In saying this, I do not think that 1 am proclaiming anything disgraceful to England, though 1 am proclaiming much that is creditable to America," &c.

The reading of Mr. Trollope's book, we think, will lead the reader to arrive at this conclusion. The time is coming, when Englishmen and the world will understand Americans and American institutions, better than they do at the present crisis in their national troubles, and we thank Mr. Trollope for visiting America just at this present time, and leaving his opinions upon record.
