And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the Sabbath day. And they that found him gathering slicks, brought him unto Moses und Aaron, and unto all the congregation. And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. And all the congregation brought him without the camp, ami stoned him With stones, so that be died; as the Lord commanded Moses." I lero there is not only a prohibition of all labor on the Sabbath, but actual punishment inf 1ic-tt d when the command was broken. The Sai bath prom Moski to the time ok Christ —Thus fur \vc have seen what the Scripture says of the Sabbath, from the beginning down to tiic time when (he children of Israel were about to enter the promised laud We have seen what the example of God was on its institution what bis precepts and injunctions were, in the moral law, und how they were curried out in practice. Let us now trace the his buy of the people in regard to the Sabbath down to the tune of the S'viour. In the time of Moeeß, the people of Israel were threatened with grievous judgments in case they should depart IVoiiLthe service of God; and among other sins, the breaking of the Sabbath is made prominent. Lev. Ib: j.)—' And I will scatter you among the heathen, and. will dra.v out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, und your cite s waste. Then shall the land enjoy her Sabbaths, an long as it li' th deanlute, and ye he in your enemies' land*, even then shall the land rest and enjoy her Sabaths As long as it belli desolate it shall n st ; because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. The land a!s. shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her Sabbaths while she lieth desolate without tin in." This and other predictions are represented as being fulfilled in the Babylonish cap■<•;: 18, Jl— 'And they tivity: -' Citron. ;mii tit the house ol God, and Inake down the wall of Jerusalem, and destroyed all tin? goodly vessels thereof. Andlbeni that had escaped from the sword carried he [the King ,1 °ltaby|oii| away to Babylon; where they were servants to liim and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Ptrami tofulnlihe ward oft he Lord by the inoulh of Jeremiah, until the bind had enjoyed her Sabbaths; for as long us she lay desolate, she kept her Sabbaths, to fulfil three score and ten years Nehemiah also in correcting the morals if the people in relation to Sabbath keening, refers to the judgments God bad brought noon them in the captivity from which they had just returned. — " ' Neh. 13: 1.3—" In those days saw lin Judali some treading w ine-piesscs on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading; i,s also wine, giapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: anil I certified against them, in the day wherein they sold viluals There dwell men of Tyre also then iv, which brought fish und all manner of ware and sold on the Sabbath unto the children of Judali, and iv Jerusalem. Then 1 contended with llic nobles of Judnh, and said unto tin in, What evil thing is Ibis that ye do, and profane the Sabbath day • Did not youi lathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon the city .' Vet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the Sabbath." Here is a plain admission lint Sabbath breaking was among the sins for which God inflicted punishments upon his people, and that they were in danger of provoking Go<i to inflict slill greater judgments by their perseverance iv this sin. Nehemiah lived near the close of the Old Testament writings. Fzekiel also who prophesied before and during the time the children of Israel were captives, in Babylon, in summing up the story of the continued rebellions of the people, .says: L/.ek. iJO: I 1—" Moreover also I gave llieiu my Sabbaths, to be a sign between vie and them, that they might know that I mil the Lord that sanctify them. Hut the bouse of Israel rebelled against inn in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes and they despised my judgments, ami my Sabbaths they greatly polluted." Also, iv su.Lining up the sins of the people of Jerusalem In his own time, he Bays: Fzek ti'. B—'•Thou bast despised my holy things, and hast pro'aned my Sabbaths."— Again, verse -J.(i—'• Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned my holy tilings: they have put no difference between the li dy and pro ana, neithet have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes fftiM my Bab bathe, and 1 am profaned among them Again, tSr.ek <3: 3<!—'• Moreover, thi* they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same clay, and have profaned my Miiibiiths We have thus seen that throughout the Old Testament the Sabbath is spoken of by God himself ai id his prophets as a holy day; and we have eveiy where seen that a disregard to it was treat' das a great sin. There is but one idea on this subject when ver it is spoken of, and that is, that it is a sin against God." We quote now one or two passages which will show that God especially blessed those who kept the Sabbath.

This indeed,might be dcci ib-d, without particular examination, by reit-reucu to a single declaration of our Savior: / camt not lo desvoy the lute or Ihe prophets. kut tn fulfil The physical nnture of men is the same now that ever it was: if ever il needed lo rest one day in seven, ii does so still. Tito moral nature of man—his relation to Cod and his accountability to him, an also still the same; and ho as much needs one seventh portion of time to fit himself tor eternity as ever he did. Hence the Sa vior says, The Sabbath was made for man — — fA pn ii., that is, for all men equally. It whs made law as they did any other law of the decadesigned us a blearing logue.

Would the laws of any one of the II S or of England bear them out in it 5 Rut bt this point he waived The question is one between God and men. The law is plain. Is it right to break it. — It may be said, '"Wo shall get rich sooner by laboring on the Sabbath, because we save a seventh portion of time." That may be, or may not be, as Cod pleases—but would it be right} The rubber, the swindler, the iter, all think they shall get rich eounterf sooner by their practices than by honest labor, but is if right} liul il remains to Uvjfirored that men will get rub sooner by breaking miy of the luws of God, than by keeping them.

Sire— I have the honor to dedicate to Your Majesty the Notes, on these Islands, their population, religion, agriculture, and commerce, written by me, which have been printed in successive numbers of the Friend, beginning on the & first of May last. It is possible that I may have been misinformed on some matters of fact, and that I may have erred in many of my views. All men are liable to mistakes, and to be led away by their own theories or fancies; I may have been so misled, to a degree unknown to myself; if so, others will point out my errors, and truths useful to your Majesty, your Dominions, and your People, may be elicited by their refutation. One only credit I claim, and that is, for the sincerity of my desire to aid in promoting the prosperity of these Islands, and the happiness of their native inhabitants. That it may please the Almighty to permit you long to reign over a religious, sober, virtuous, contented and happy people, is the earnest prayer of, aVJ • Sire, Your Majesty's most Obedient humble servant, ROBERT CRICHTON WYELIE.

My observations under the bead of Oath of Allegiance, pagi 61, have been taken up by Li game n under a latitude of meaning which I d> not think my words conveyed. I meant lo confine my remarks to the case of British subjects taking the oath of allegiance to this or any other foreign government. Notwithstanding ihe argument of Legamen, for whose intentions, learning and talent I have every respect, I cling, on this subject, to the opinion of Loiii Ashburton, as given to the Honorable Daniel Webster, in < — twenty-three " ago of her natural proprietors, she has seen her fertile fields successively a prey to the Persians, the Macedonians, the Romans, the Greeks, the Arabs, the Georgians, and, at length, the race of Tartars distinguished by the name of Ottoman Turks The Mamelukes, purchased as slaves and introduced as soldiers, soon usurped the power and elected a leader If their first establishment was a singular event, their continuance is not less extraordinary. They are replaced by slaves borught from their original country. The system of oppression is methodical. Every thing the traveller sees or hears, reminds him he is in the country of slavery and tyranny." " A more unjust and absurd constitution cannot be devised than that which condemns the natives of a country to perpetual I servitude, under the arbitrary dominion of strangers and slaves, j Yet such has been the stale of Egypt above five hundred years.. Tlie most illustrious sultans of the Baharite and Borgi'e dynasties were themselves promoted from the Tartar and Circassian bandsand the four and twenty Beys, or military chiefs, have ever been succeeded, not by their sons, but by their servants." These are the words of Volney and of Gibbon;—and what did the ancient i prophets foretell' ''7 irtll lay thr land waste, and all that is therein ru the hands of strangers. I the Ijord have spoken it.

Rev. S. C. Damon: Dear sir,— Herewith I send you some statistics of the American Protestant Mission, established on these islands, in which some of your readers may feel an interest. In addition to results staled in the statistics, it may be remaiked that the Government has assumed a more stable character. Written laws have been enacted, by which the people are better secured Iroiu oppressive exactions on the part of their rulers, and encouraged to cultivate industrious and virtuous ha its The security, stability and value of property, has been greatly enhanced Diplomatic ihtercou'se lias been opened with other and greater nations-, some of whom have been phased to acknowledge the independence of the islands, and express an interest in their prosperity. These political improvements are net placed as results of missionary labors in the statistics, In cause oilier causes combined willi ii istsii nm y r Worts have tended to produce thim, and as also being without the pale of direct missionary efforts. Hut although the civil benefits derived from missionary labors may he regardedn ore as incidental than direct, yet s reflecting mind will hardly fail to perceive that they are to n gr< ater or less extent the natural consequence ofthem; and that the introduetinn of the pure and mild precepts ofthe christian religion, and the increased tight ef knowledge, must hire excited an important and we may say an indispensable influence in smeliuratiug tbe political condition of the people. The facts stated abundantly testify. In the deep interest which the missionaries, and the christian community bj uhrra llwyaie sustained, frel in everything, both civil and religions, thai pertains lo the Veil-be ing of the Hawaiian people, labor anil money have been frci ly expendi d, and no other iclurn sought than their morel and physical elevation ia the scale of being—their frw conversion in Christianity. A great change for Ihe better, we thin, has already taken place,—which is, we doubt not, in a great measure, in consequence of the Divine blessing upon tbe efibits that have been made. It is true that society is' Still in a crude stnte, and is susceptible of vast improvement ut it is not the .i>s.i true, that ti.a change through which it has passcJ during �tj. 47 *t\\K 1844.)

In classifying the trading vessels, I have arranged them according to the port or country toor from which they proceeded, as the most natural way of showing the countries or places with which the Sandwich Islands have mercantile relations. The reader, therefore, is not to suppose that the vessels which appear as to or from Mexico, Peru, Tahiti, Ice, bore tho flag ofor belonged to those countries. The vessels put down as American trading vessels, are only those which appear to have come direct from the United States; besides them, a majority of all the other trading vessels were under the Amorican flag. 'i. The facility of communication between the Sum! wich Islands and the countries and porta with « liiili they trade, is shown by the following averages of p.lanugos : 3 vessels from Acapulco, averaged 35 days 20 vessels from Boston, averaged 163 days t vessels from Bonin Islands, averaged 47 days, I vessel from Bodega arrived in 15 days 31 vessels from China, averaged 60 days 40 days 1 vessel from Cobij i arrived HI • 37 yes. from n. w.

How nil, when but a child, I've roamed Among the tomb-stones grny. And marked the records ol Ihe dead, Whose ashes round me luy. Here stood a splcndol monument. Erected o'er the irreit, Wlio. nil unconscious, stool henealh. Nor cared for earthly stale. While there lire simple Itc.-id-stonc marked The peasant of the soil. Whose bones amidst bis father's dust Reposed from 'earthly toil. Here lay the young, and there the old. In one unnumbered hran: Who. till the Resurrection Day, The Earth bulb charge to keep. While viewing o'er Ihe various tbron; Of Adam's fniu'lv there. My heart, though young, would ponder doep. And something Ray, "prepare!" Although since then I've n-andei'd far O'or seas, and mountains high. That inward voice hslb ne'er been hushed. "Prepare,for thou must die!" Q. M. R.

When the number of seamen in port is few, then there is no objection lo residents being sealed on the left hand side. It requires, we are satisfied, but a little of the true spirit of conciliation and the love ofaccommodation, to seat alfsuch as love the worship of God. We desire seimen to ever bear in mind that the chapel was built for them, and that the chaplain has received a commission to preach to them the gospel of Jesus Christ; and we wish residents fully to understand that they are cordially and freely invited to take seals in that chapel up n the Subhuth, until they are provided with some other more convenient place for public worship.

From what we can learn, llie manlier of ships must Bxceed two hundred. Many of these bars ihcady trrived at the Islands, and oro able lo repoit that no ceident has occurred to the injury of lifo or limb of any erson onboard. It dues really apj ear that whalemen, ofall, are called upon to abound w ii h thanksgiving God for his continually preserving, goodness and " Ko»t little noise in going mar bo turned round nnd round in half the: that a foreign boat occupies. itime nnd space They arc of different sizes; the smallest are about threo tons, and the largest about twenty-five, carrying two small boats on her deck, and a crew of twelve men, of light dialt of water and good length. On the bow is a crooked piece of timber, supported by a slnncheon, which serves as a rest for the harpoon when not wanted; it enables Ihe harpooner to stretch well over the bow, and In see the fish as they pass below the boat. this position they are struck, for the weight ofthe harpoon prevents its being thrown any distance. Abaft the mainmast the deck is rounded so as to form the roof of tho cabin; on its top the whole line is coiled. The harpoon has only one barb, and about fifteen inches from the point of the iron it is made with a socket; above which, an eye is wrought, with a cord attached to the iron, to which the whale line is fastened, and stopped slack along tho wooden shaft, so that when the fish is struck, the iron and 87 the line tightens, the shaft draws out, and leaves less chance of the iron cutting out) or loosing its hold ofthe skin ofthe fish-. The whale line is made of native hemp, and is about 60 or 70 fathoms long, and from 4 to 6 inches in circumference, according to live size of the boat. Great length of line is not' required by them* for there'is shoal writer all along the const for many milesi to seaward. One end of the line is. fastened round the mainmast, the remainder is coiled away on the top of the house, and carried forward to the harpoon in the bow, where it is made fast, leaving a few fathoms slack of line. Tho boats come out of tho different harbors at daylight, and spread tlicimjclves soon all along the coast. As soon as a fish is seen blowing, Ihey go in chase. If. fortunate enough to get it fast, tho sails are lowered, the bight.of the line got aft, the rtiddor unshipped, nnd the boat allowed to tow stern foremost. The rest of the flei I seeing the sail lowered, come op to assist; and as the fish now keeps pretty much on the surface in its struggle to get away, ihov soon manage to fasten eight or ten harpoons into it, and in a couple of hours or so it is dead from wounds and the loss of blood. They always strike the fish a little behind, the blowhole, on the top ofthe back. When the fish is dead, it is lashed alongside one or two of the boats to float it, and to allow tho others to make their lines fast to the tail, and tow it on shore. It is sutprisin*; that the boats are not stove in, or completely destroyed, from their manner of taking the fish, i.e. sailing right over it and then striking it; bul from the cool way in which the Chinese manage the whole affair, I havno doubt that personal accidents occur more seldom than with our fishermen. Their greatest dnnger is when two or three whale, are struck t» gether in the same place, ami swim round und over each other, so as ti» foul tho lines. The boats are then drawi. against each other and over the fish, and run great risk of being soon swamped nnd Move in pieces. In one instance of this sort that fell under my observation, they had three of their boats swamped, but managed to clear the lines, and kill the fish in a most dexterous-manner; after which, some of tho spare boats returned and towed the damaged bouts on shore. They had no Ititicen in their boats, nor in fact any other weapon except the harpoons, which they refused to sell ut any price. All tho boats bnd pat! i of the whale's flesh salted, which they uncias provisions. They refused to give an; account of what use they made of the fish, and in general were not disposed to be ver civil to strangers, which might ari;e frtr.t jealosy, or a fear of our interfering with their fishery. The fish are, 1 believe, what whalers call tho right whule, and were calculated hy those on boaid to yield on an. average 50 barrel, of oil each. �88 THE TUIENB.

Yourself will go with like, and come away when you please.—approve your jokos,assent to your propositions, and in short, he in every way agreeable, if you only learn and practice the true art of being really on goodterms with yourself." This, however, is not so easy as many imagine, who do not oiien try the experiment. Yourself, when it catches you in company with no other person, is apt to be a severe critic on your faults and Ibibics; and when you are censured by yourself, it is generally the severest and most intolerable species of reproof. It is on this account that you are often afraid of yourself, und seek any associates, no matter how inferior, whose hold chit iv ly keep yourself from playing the censor. Yourself is likewise a jealous friend: if neglected and slighted.it becomes a bore," and to be left for even a short time " by yourself" is then regarded as actually a cruel penance, us many find when youth, health, or wealth, have departed. How important is it.then to kno.v thyself, to cultivate thyself, to respect thyself, to love thyself warmly but rationally. It is a most excellent rule to avoid gross familiarity, even where a connexion is most intimate. Tho human heart is so constituted as to love respect. It would indeed he unnatural in very intimate friends to behave to each other with stillness; but there is a delicacy of manner, and a flattering deference, which tends to preserve that degree of esteem which is necessary to support affection, and which is lost in contempt when a too great familiarity is allowed. An habitual politeness of manners will prevent even indifference from degenerating into hatred. It will refine, exalt, and perpetuate affection. Integrity is a great and commendable virtue—a man of integrity is a true man, a bold man and a steady man. He is to be trusted anil relied upon. No bribes can corrupt him, no-tear daunt him. His word is slow iv coming, but sure. He shines brightest in the fire, and his friend hears of hint most wlien he most needs him. His courage grows with danger, and conquers opposition by constancy. As he cannot lie flattered or frightened into that he dislikes, so he hatesffattery and temporising In others, lie runs with truth and not with the times—with right and not with might ; his rule is straight—soon seen, but seldom followed. " " 103 TUE 1? HI END. A good creature of God.—The Rev. Thomas P. Hunt, the drunkard's friend, used to tell a good story of a young bragging opponent of the temperance cause, who thought lie could put it all dnwn by quoting scripture. One very cold night he staid at the house of a good lady, who was a warm friend of the temperance cause; but. amid a circle of yiiung friends he bore triumphantly the palm as an anti temperance hern, by showing from scripture that every creature of God was good, and to be received with thanksgiving. When the hour of retirement came, the good lady introduced him into a very cold chamber, where stood a bed covO!" he ex, ered with large cakes of ice. claimed, you are not going to put me under blankets of ice!"

We also find that the Commercial Agent, Mr. Hooper, culled upon the, Governor, who, by custom, if not by law, sits ns Judge pf appeals, to propose a jury according to the right he considered he had accorded to him, by the King's speech and the precedent's at Lahaina —that the Governor pleaded ignorance of any such right, and referred Mr Hooper to Dr. Judd, whose directions the Governor had been in the habit of obeying—that the, Commercial Agent did call upon Dr. Judd at his ollice, and Dr. Judd not only made n objections to tho course proposed by Mr. Hooper, but even assisted him in forming a jury, he (Dr. Judd) objecting to some of the names in the list, which Mr. Hooper had previously drawn > out.

Brown wrote a letter to Dr. Judd on the 30th of August, wording it in such a manner, as to appear ignorant himself thut Dr. Judd had been applied to, previously, for his interference in the matter, and affording him (to use Mr. Brown's words) "an excellent opportunity of withdrawing from the untenable position he had taken." To this letter a reply is made by Dr. Judd, upholding the course of the Governor, upon the sole around, that there is no existing treaty with the Lnitcd States, nnd saying that if Mr. Brown desires to claim diplomatically the privilege demanded," he (Dr. Judd) "desires time to vindicate the ground assumed by the Governor of Oahu."
