The Temperance Almanac was issued, and more than 2,000,000 of Temperance Recorders were published nnd circulated. The result of the examination of the gaols, poor-houses, &.c., in the state of New York, by Samuel Chapin, Ksq , was also published-, anil extensively circulated. The cause made very great progress during the year, nnd a conviction that nothing but total abstinence from all that can intoxicate, could carry it on much farther, was generally entertained by all who took part in the movement. The sixth anniversary of this society was celebrated in the first presbytcriun church in Albany, on the 3d of February, I8i">, and attended by 10*2 delegates. The conductors of the Recorder, as well as those of the Intelligencer, were now oidered by the executive committee to advocate the principles of total abstinence from all that can intoxicate.— "The whole proceedings of this anniversary showed, that but little more could be done to advance the temperance cause by opposing the use of distilled liquors only." A semi-anual meeting was also held on the 9th of July, in the first presbyterian church of Buffalo, nnd attended by 312 delegates from 22 counties, besides several distinguished gentleman from other states, and a delegation from Canada. At this meeting, the principle of total abstinence from all that can intoxicate, was fully discussed and maintained, only one individual, on the final vote, opposing it. This was a noble triumph in the cause of humanity and religion, and amply repaid for all the exertion that had been put forth in order to secure it. From that day, the question may justly be considered as having been settled, that nothing short of total abstinence can consummate the Notwithstanding temperance enterprise. this, however, "another national convention was held, at Saratoga Springs, on the nth of August, Hi*;, which was attended by !)6 4 delagates from nineteen states of the Union, from Canada, and from Liberia in Africa. The great object of this meeting was to settle the question of a partial, or complete pledge; and more intelligence and moral worth were probably never found in any assembly of equal size. After three days of animated discussion, the principle of total abstinence was fully sustained, it being adopted without a division." It was at this meeting that the American Temperance Union was formed on this principle, which has the seat of its operations in Philadelphia, and is to be regarded as a great national society. From this epitome of the history of this movement in America, it must appear obvious to every one, that the principle of total abstinence from everything that can intoxicate, was not adopted hastily, or without the fullest investigation. It appears too, that it was the result of (he practieul failure of what the moderation principle" to it termed! 1 " remove the evils of intemperance. The ex" quite the most easy for the patient.

Allow him one drink of cider, or one glass of wine, to l>< gin with, and can this be said of him? Certainly not. He must stand firm to his principles of tasting nothing which can intoxicate, both now and forever. Strong beer is worse than cider. Wine is worse than either.

To that question the temperance community would answer—" principally water."

L A ETTER, From the Masi-kr or an American Wiiai.e Ship, to IMS Editor ok iiik Temperance Advocate and Seamen's Friend. Dkar Sir.—The cause in which you have engaged affords a large scope for the most philanthropic feelings, and may your success in the field prove commensurate with your most ardent desires and fondest anticipations. Seamen do stand in need of a faithful friend nnd adviser,) to warn them against the allurements of strong drink, which is so temptingly placed in their way, by those who fatten upon their spoils, and hoard up ill-gotten gold, by administering to the depraved appetites of their fellow-beings.

If so, how shall those be regarded who have in any manner l»een accessory in forming intemperate habits in the slightest degree? When an epidemic, is raging, do not the most skilful physicians guard against its approach with the utmost care—and when its mo9t incipient symptoms rtc perceived, administer preventives crn it gains strength and hursts forth in nil its energy, and lays its victims low? I believe it is so; and what a fearful epidemic has intemperance become ; nnd where it lays its blighting; hand, or infuses its unhallowed influence, what an amount ofhuman misery and moral degradationfidlowi in its deadly course! When so many of the ablest pens have of late years been employed in pointing out the various causes which have led poor erring human nature so deeply into this debasing evil, it is hardly possible to add more ; yet when we look around us, and see those whom we delight to honor, whose friendship we prize, still irresolute, and undetermined to take a decided stand in favor of total abstinence from all that will intoxicate, it moves us to make an attempt to try to persuade them to weigh well in their own minds the influence their conduct may have on others. Can there be n healthy state of high moral feeling existing in any community where it is deemed uncourteous not to place wine or other stimulating drinks before a guest at your table s —or if placed before one and is refused from principle, to deem him wanting in courtesy who thus declines to partake? Certainly at this day, when such a great moral revolution has taken place in the minds of men in regard to temperance, wherever such a feeling exists, that community must be considered behind ihe age. The habit of drinking wine may be classed among the incipient approaches to intemperance; and who is there that has seen much of human nature that has not been obliged to acknowledge the force of habit, and has not seen people so deeply "refreshed" at the social board, as to require help to leave it? The only means of safety is to taste not of the poisoned chalice ; for however glittering to the sight or sweet to the palate it may appear, the invisible spirit of evil lurks within, and thrice happy is he who has ever been within its unhallowed influence and has escaped unscathed. No one, I presume, will pretend to deny the fact that some of their friends and acquaintances have fallen into the drunkard's track, and thereby made shipwreck of their brightest hopes, and (>erhaps sunk to a premature grave. Should we see our fellow-creatures upon the brink of a precipice, wi»h but n slip pery foot-hold, and occasionally behold one give way nnd fall over the dangerous brink.—would not our hearts yearn to lend llietn a helping hand to release them from danger; and if we stood on firm ground would not our natures prompt us to place them there too? Too many of our fi'llow-creatures are. nlas! placed upon a fearful precipice, and they tread the slippery paths of indulgence, seemingly quite fearless, till their feel irretrievably slip, and they sink into the gulfof intemperance, from whence nought but an Almighty Power can rescue them. Tee-totallers stand upon firm ground, from whence nothing but indulgence can' remove them ; and while standing firm, let them endeavor by all possible means to win those who are in error, from their unhappy courses, and save them from being engulfed in total ruin. A few years since, I was in Boston, and stopped at what was called one of the first houses in the city. It was not a temperance house however, and various wines were placed on the table, of which I was invited to partake ; but as I did not drink wine or any other liquor, I declined ; and no one appeared to think me uncourteous. One day I was absent at dinner time, being on an excursion to one of the islands in the bay, and my wife was invited to take her seat near the landlady. There were several ladies there, and I had frequently seen them drinking what I supposed to be wine and water; but on my return, my wife informed mc that what 1 supposed to be wine and water was brandy and water ; and that she had been invited to drink with them,but declined. The following day, I saw a young married lady prevailed upon to take a little brandy instead of wine, and being quite unaccustomed to it, appeared very silly under its influence. There, I think I saw the progress of intemperance in what are termed the highest circles in life ; and I have no doubt that any individual who sat at that table would have felt themselves highly aggrieved to have been thought intemperate in the least degree. Accustomed to the daily use of wine, they thought nothing of it, and a habit was formed and an appetite created that required something (December, stronger to appease its unnatural longings. How necessnry il is for us then, to endeavor to brake off all habits that may strengthen with our growth, and both by precept and example prove that we wish well all our fellow-creatures. The cause of temperance is advancing seemingly under the guidance of an Almighty Power; and soon may it arrest all who are in any way accessory to spreading intemperance, and show them the iniquity of their course, and turn them entirely away from their unhallowed pursuits, and enlist them all upon the side of temperance. It is in vain for men to argue at this late hour, that it is necessary to supply men with liquor who are exposed to fatigue and hardships ; for every man who has followed the seas for a number of vcars knows, that it is of no use ; and that many who rank among that humble class, common sailors, would far sooner have something else than rum. All the foremast hands on board of ships, who come under the denomination of tailors, are not old salts, whose habits of dissipation are confirmed beyond the reach of moral suasion ; but many arc young men of estimable character, who have just commenced their sea-faring life, and in a course of few years rise to be masters. To preserve such youths from being drawn away, and occasionally led to visit the haunts of the inebriate, is a noble eflblt; and if the dissemination of your paper! among the fleet will have an influence to that effect, much good will be effected, and the friends of temperance cannot hesitate to assist you. To mark out the course which would be best to pursue to exterminate the evil which has gained such strength as to almost bid defiance to the combined efforts of all the host now enlisted in the temperance cause, would in mc be presumptions; fori feel myself completely inadequate to the task of even portraying in their true colours the evils which have fallen to the lot of suffering humanity through the use of alcoholic drinks. Men of splendid abilities and able pens have painted in the most vivid colours the woes which follow in" the train of intemperate indulgence, and we have statistics of unquestionable authority to show the amount of crime, and sorrow, and pauperism, which can be traced directly to this fountain head ; and still there are men who feel so little compunction at being engaged in the unhallowed traffic, as to sell �1843.)

Such would be the feelings of the natural man, but nothing like this is allowed. The Lord's ways are not as man's ways. As they valued Avor and their own peace, they not only to be patient under are their hardships, but to do what good they could to their oppressors. The same course in substance is prescribed by the apostles to christians under the bloody Nero. Can there then remain o shadow of doubt as to what the Lord would have those do who come to these shores from christian land*? This is the topic on which I propose to address you this evening, viz: the duties exhorte<s OF MKA, WHOCOMK FHOM CHRISTIAN LANDS 11, 18 H. 9 HONOLULU, quirement? The term " pence" is oae of wide and general signification in the scripture!; it means not only a tranquil state of society, free from war and disturbance, but prosperity in geueral. It is the same there- fore as though we were required lo seek the good, the prosperity, the general welfare of the people among whom we dwell. Let it be our aim not merely/to dwell among them peaceably, but to do them good by such means as are placed in our power. To he more specific, we are required by the word of God, I. To exercise a hearty good will towards the native inhabitants: in other words, to be tJo'ir cordial and substantial friends, and to cherish a disposition to do them good. This does not imply that we are bound to approve of the state of society around us, nor of the policy pursutd by the government : the Jews in Babylon were not required to do either of these; for the people around them were idolaters, and tho rulers were unfeeling despots; but with all a people's faults, we can and ought to exercise good feelings towards them; if we do not, it is idle to talk of seeking their welfare. Will a man seek the peace ofthe city while in his heart he feels no interest in its welfure, or perhaps wishes its ruin? The divine law is applicable hero which runs thus: " Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself." Is it asked,** who* my neighbor?" I answer, every member of the human family, of whatever color or condition, whether a friend or an enemy, is your neighbor; and ofcourse every native on the Sandwich Islands, high or low; and there is one debt which we all owe them, and that is "love." "Owe no man any thing but to Without this, wholeyer love one another we may attempt to do, or boast of having done, it is all sounding brass and tinkling cymbal." Here is the great prominent ex■.iKctice of Christianity, wherein it casts all false religions into the shade; it is a religion oflove; cordial, deep, sincere love. "Peace on earth, and good will towards meu»" was the description given of it by the angels themselves, on the plains of Bethlehem, when its divine author first appeared in our world—good-will not only to friends but to enemies. Were every native on the Sandwich Islands our enemy, it would still be our duty to be his friend, and to try to do him good. Neither does gospel charity confine itself to those who are worthy, decent and respectable; like a sweet angel of mercy it visits the abode* of poverty, filth and wretchedness; it goes to the house of mourn ing and affliction, and then passes on to tee PEACE."

He concluded by passing a warm Eulogium on the character of Father Mathew, whom he described as the greatest philanthropist that ever existed. On Wednesday Fattier Mathew again administered the pledge to many persons. Soldiers, sailors, mechanics and their wives and children, professional men, and several ladies and gentlemen, were among those who took it during the day.— There were upwards of 60,000 persons on the ground. ot people assembled in tin- Commercial Koad East, to greet Father Mathew, the advocate of temperance, who undertook to administer the pledge At ten o'clock, Father Mathew faced a metropolitan auditory for the firsl time He was received with loud cheers, particularly by his countrymen, who assembled in groat numbers.

Earl Stanhope said that Father the summer grass, are found, after the lapse I, 1814, Vol. 11. of a few years, to have exercised a great and abiding influence. Six hundred and fiftyeight individuals, selected amidst all the clamour, excitement and expense of a popular election, to represent the intelligence, public spirit and virtue of the nation, sit together for six months, devoting, on an average, six hoars nightly to the salvation of the country, and, at'the end of the time, no single measure has been passed, or law enacted, for which, by the boldest stretch of imagination, any man, woman or child in the British dominions can be supposed to he the better. For a period of five or six years tfys nation is kept in a state of painful and feverish excitement, to know whether a set of men called Whigs, who haunt a club called Brooke's, or a set of men called Tories, who congregate at the Carlton, shall win the great game of political pitch and toss, and toss, and enjoy the pitch of devoting themselves to the service of an ungrateful country, for an adequate consideration. At length the political mountain brings forth a new Premier, who talks as big as if the regeneration of the country was a mere joke to a practitioner of such profound ability, and lo! a twelvemonth is scarcely elapsed, before he is found out by everybody to be a more ridiculous mouse than any of his predecessors. In the mean time, while these great eventful changes are slowly evolving themselves, a parish priest in Cork, the lowly minister of an un-pensioned, un-established, and halfproscribed religion, finding his heart burn within him at the scenes of squalid misery sonsequent on intemperance, which be ii daily and hourly compelled .to witness, bethinks himself whether it may not be possible to check the inroads of this destructive monster drunkenness, by his own humble unaided efforts. From this little seed, cast noiselessly on the bosom of the great universe, and watered there by silent influences from Heaven, springs up in due course of time a mighty tree. An immense practical influence is exercised on millions of human beings. In Ireland alone, 5,000,000 of a population who five years ago appeared to be hopelessly addicted to habits of reckless and degrading intemperance, have been reclaimed, and are now leagued together under the solemn sanction of a religious vow, in associations of mutual defence against the common enemy Five millions of the most miserable and abject population on the face of the civilized world, have been raised in the scale of being, first by renouncing habits which degraded th»m to a level with the brute; and secondly, by being taught to exercise self-denial and restraint, and to associate together for a worthy object.

To all who have any considerable acquaintance with the Hawaiian churches, the name of Bartiineus must be familiar; and those who knew him best, most deeply lament his loss. The death of this extraordinary man occurred on the 17thof September, 1843, at Wailuku, Maui. In that neighborhood he had been laboring as a preacher of the gospel for several years past, with great acceptance to the people and good success. The place of his birth was Waikapu, a pleasant village adjacent to Wailuku; and as nearly as can be now ascertained, he was born about the year 1785. When an infant, his mother had formed the deliberate purpose of putting him to death. His grave was actually dug, and the little harmless babe about to be thrust into it, by the hand of his own mother, when he was unexpectedly rescued by the hand of a relative. How true it is that the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty! The good old man did not very often refer to this scene, but occasionally in his public addresses he would allude to it with thrilling effect, as illustrating the doctrine of a particular providence. Bartimeus was a man below the ordinary stature of natives, and his bodily appearance was very unprepossessing, except when he arose to speak, and became animated; he then appeared extremely well. his diminutive stature, his beard was long, jet black and frizzling, and owing to the meanness of his apearance when a young man, he became the butt of his untutored companions. Owing to his remarkable skill in the native hula," a dunce, he attracted the the attention of Kamamahe, (the wife of Rihoriho, Kamehameha II.,) who died in England, and was taken into her train as a sort of buffoon. His sole business was to make merriment for the queen and her favorites, and his reward was food and ana By means of this latter, he often became intoxicated, and would lie for days together wallowing in tilth like a beast. On the arrival of the first missionaries, he accompanied the chiefs from Hawaii to Oahu, where he heard for the first time the words of eternal life. "The sound of salvation" at once caught his ear. His attendance on the means of grace became constant. Says one of the first missionaries, " he was always at the house of God, and always at the preacher's feet.'' As tight broke in upon his mind, his wholt " (February, character began to change; child-like sim- to the last. In short, he was eminently a plicity, meekness, humility and devotion holy man.

She sailed on the loth of Nov., 1842, having os passengers the Bishop of the Sandwich Islands, seven missionaries, and wicked. days. seven mechanics, and ten nuns. ' All told,' were 42 peisons on board. One nun died on the passage to the island of St. Catharines, S. A., and was buried when the vessel arrived in port. During their detention at that islnnd, a native Sandwich Islander died, who had been educated in France, and was returning to his native land. The Jose Maria left St. Catharines on the '23d of February, and was spoken a k\v days at sea, hut otherwise she has not since been hcnrd from.

Others more cautious, forebore to test its pioperties in this way, not knowing but they might prove to be as dangerous as those of the Lethean Stream or the Dead Sea. Many speculations were agitated to ascertain the origin of this unlooked for phenomenon. Some thought the sea had suddenly forced a passage thiough what was once an active volcano, and that henceforth lhe old crater was to send forth water instead of fire. Others agiiin, believed the water had been gradually accumulating iv the fissures nnd cavities of the mountain, during the last tweny years, and had at length united in one vast body. But no me could certainly tell. Conjecture wns rile. At length iv the afternoon, several gentlemen, in whose judgement the utmost confidence could be reposed, mounted horse, nnd proceeded to the place, determined to examine with their own senses this new ''linn," whose sudden appearance among us laid disturbed in so remarkable a degree tho tranquility of our quiet town. They went prepared to take its soundings, and also to ascertain its exact temperature. On arrivi ig at the designated spot, they found a small dark pool, and into it the lead was i .iiiifiliiitrly cast, which found bottom at the surprising depth of six inches! The water wns so muddy that it was not thought advisable to make use of the thermometer. It was now recollected that a great deal of ruin had recently fallen, and here the marvel ended!!

On the in lining ..f the I "th inst., a brisk report wns in circulation through our good town of Honolulu, that nn immense body of water had burst through the suiface of Foil Hill, and spread itself out upon its summit in the form ofa lake, it was stated I lint the water around the borders of said lake wns cold, but that in the centre it was uul; and thai its depth wus eight Inthums. The excited natives were soon flocking in crowds to the scenes of wonder. It was judged that not less than 1,500 made the pilgrimage in the course of the forenoon; many of whom brought away calabashes full of the water. Some ofthe curious pro- otherwise have brought out in some editorial scribbling. Tbe origin of lhe deep sensation which pervaded this community, for a few hours, the reader cannot gather from the foregoing remarks. Upon the most undoubted authority, it may be stated, that a native woman, having been troubled in her sleep for jnany nights in succession, at length announced that a fountain was about to break forth on Fort, alias Punch Bowl, Hill. Tn test the truth of her dream, she ascended the hill, when lo! a fountain was to be seen. The report spread like an electric shock among the natives, and some of the foreigners, it seems, had their curiosity much excited. Her Hawaiian ladyship, (whoever she may be,) may, in truth, exclaim with Byron— " I had a dream—which »as not all a dream."

Among the rest, the chief was on hoard the ship, and very pressing in his solicitations to the captain to go on shore, an invitation which the latter transferred to me, having heard me express a wish to that effect; but conditionally, that 1 should go in a canoe, as be was not willing to venture a boat. I necepted the condition without hesitation, and first provided myself with a few heads of tobacco, and making the chief, who had a. tolerable smattering of English, understand that I must return to the ship by sundown, I embarked along with himself, hia son, and another native, in the canoe he had come off" in. As soon as we were clear of the ship, they hoisted the sail, and I had now an opportunity of testing the power of the canoe, and the skill of the people, as it was blowing fresh, and we had to work directly in the wind's eye. We made only three tacks in reaching the land, but the continual sprays had completely drenched me through, long before we got there. On reaching the land, the chief took me by the hand, and led me through a crowd of curious and gazing natives, to Ins house, where he pointed to a seat on some mats. A crowd soon gathered round, and made me tho su'»jectof a very animated discussion, in which, as among more civilized people, the ladies were the principal taUcrs. Their remarks, whatever they might be, were at all events made in the most perfect good humor, their bright eyes flashing with pleasure, and their countenances being lit up with smiles Those nearest me took mv hand and examined it, and on my unbottoning my shirt sleeve, they turned it up and made their comments on my white skin with a degree of surprise I should not have expected them to manifest, as from their possessing a few words of English, it was evident I was not the first white man they had seen, though I think it likely not many had been on shore here, and thus perhaps »oine of my n'tw friends might not nave seen an European before. My dress also was the object of a strict and searching scrutiny, the shoes appearing to excite the greatest share of surprize and admiration. I took one of them off*, and gave it to one nf my nearest neighbors, who passed it among the rest, and in a few minutesit was returned to my foot. When I thought I had sufficiently satisfied their curiosity in these respects, I rose to satisfy my own by a walk more inland. I found the houses very numerous, but they consist of a roof only, having no side-walls, but merely the posts which support the roof, which is elevated at its lower edge about three nnd a half or four feet only from the ground; but they were ren �34 •nw, tftifcttt).
