HONOLin.r, ji;*.i: «... i°..vr Female Education among Hawaiians. While much has been said and written upon the subject of education at the Sandwich Islands, unless we are greatly mistaken, there is one department which has been lamentably overlooked, especially of late years. The American Board is supporting a school for boys at Hilo, Hawaii, and another at Waiole, Kauai ; the Government is sustaining the Seminary at Lahaiualuna, Maui, and the Royal School at Honolulu ; but all these schools are for males. No schools or seminaries, of corresponding rank, exist for the education of females. They are left to gather a meagre education from the common schools, or those for English, and to schools exclusively private. Is this right ? Is it doing justice to the female portion of the native population ? We do not complain that so much is done lo educate the boys, but we do lament that more is not done to educate the girls of this nation. Is not here to be found a fruitful source of the low state of morals and female virtue among Hawaiians? We would call the attention ofthe guardians of education to this subject. It should have been more carefully discussed at the late meetings of the Missionaries. The Board of Education should take immediate action. Where there is a will there is a way. No wonder the patrons of the "hula" find victims, while the professed friends of the Hawaiian race are doing so little to educate the female portion of the pesrle. We trust that, very soon, we shall be permitted to witness some well-concerted and wise-directed movement upon this subject. Speak out, Advertiser and Polynesian.

The remainder of these publications, comprising the larger part of them, were distributed gratuitously, mostly among seamen in Honolulu, Lahaina and Hilo. It deserves to be remembered that a very small part of these publications have been used for the residents of the town. Nearly all of them have been distributed among seamen and other transient visitors from eight different nations in distant quarters of the globe. It ought not to be expected, therefore, that this infant community, now struggling so hard amid its weakness and want, to lay the first foundations of its own religious and literary institutions, should defray the whole expense of supplying the demands of all these thousands from other lands.

By a Statement in the Friend, of November, 1811, I supposed tbe Holder Borden was wrecked on an island about one degree west of this, and by pmtiug riinlidi'iicc in Capt Poll's correctness, as to locality, I lost three days of time in looking after it. I can safely say that Pell's Island does not exist in this ocean. The forty domesticated ducks Capt. Pell speaks of most have reassumod their roving propensities, as I did n:t see the sign of one on the island. I have understood that Tapt. Pell planted some cocoanuts on the island in 18-1-1; not any sign of thcin exist now in 18,"v, or any vegetation, except coarse grass and a small running vine.

The special uiisi of tins Institution, in cooperation with other dred societies, is to carry tbe Word of God to ry nation and people in its own tongue, that all may Ik- partakers of its blessings. The British and foreign Bible Society may be said to stand at the head of Ibis noble class ofinstitutions. Since its formation, the Scriptures have been translated into one hundred nnd forty-eight languages and dialects, one hundredand twenty-one of which were previously unknown, and twenty-five had e\isied without an alphabet; and more than fertythree million* ofcopies have been circulated amongst not less than six hundred millions of people. The errand of these Societies is one ~f peace and good will to men. Hound, indeed, to universal conquest, the triumph of tnc Bible is not that of arras. Unlike the pi-ogress of earthly conquerors, its onward march is heralded by no confused noise of trampling and prancing of horses, no roar of artillery, no clangor of arms, no groans of ihe wounded and dying, no garments of warriors rolled in blood, but it comes noisleesly, winning its way to Ihs bent. fts triumph is the triumph of love. The Bible is the harbinger of civil and social blessings. Its teachings, received and obeyed, bring joy and g adness into the family, the community, the bisly politic. It makes good husbands and wives, parents and children, brothers and sisters. and friends, Kings and subjects. It is ited to all classes—the high and low, the rich id poor, the learned and tbe unlearned, the King on bis throne and the peasant in his cottage. It oomes with blessings to all. Harkness, before it, brightens into day. Civil and religious despotism flee its approach, for it bears upon its pages the rich treasures of civil and religious liberty. It teaches that rulers must bo just, ruling in the fear of God; and the reciprocal duty of obedience to righteous and just laws, upon the part of the ruled. Of its power to bless and renovate, your Majesty has occuhir demonstration in tbe condition of your own people. Scarcely has a generation passed away since the first glimmering of its beams fell upon these Isles, shrouded in the long night of ages.

We are confident that these remarks will be read with interest, and may lead to further discussion : The Great Engine for Good and The Printing Press. Evil.— opperations on the shores of the North Pacific Ocean ? If this question could he decided for a certainty, would it not be well to mark that period, for the satisfaction of printers, and others that may come after us, before the precise time is lost in the distant past ? If you deem this enquiry of interest enough to do it, please start the question in your paper, or otherways. I am led to this enquiry from the fact that I have before me a small piece of printed paper, headed " Lesson 1," which is the third impression ever struck off on the printing press brought out by the American Missionaries in the brig Thaddeus, and was landed at Honolulu in April, IS2O, but was never set up and put into operation until the afternoon of the "th January, 1839; this was in a thatched house standing a few fathoms from the old mission (frame) house. The old press was not unlike the old one used by Benjamin Franklin when he first worked as prentice. His Excellency, Keimoku, with suine other chiefs nnd people, Mr. Loomis, the printer, (who had just completed setting it up) Rev, Hiram Bingham, two American ship-masters and When did it first commence its myself were present. The Key. Hiram Bing- ham and myself, as far as I know and believe, are the only persons now living that wenpresent. Mr. B. requested Mr. Loomis to set up something to start with, which was done, and, after some little instruction as to the working ofthe press, "Keimoku" struck off" the first impression, Mr. Loomis the second ; and having had some care of receiving the press on board the Thaddeus, in Boston, and in delivering at Honolulu, and knowing, in early life, something of the practical working of the printing press, I was allowed the privilege of striking off this third impression, now before me, on the back of which I endorsed the foregoing facts, and enclosed it in a letter to my wife. On overhauling a file of my old letters a few days since, 1 found this " Lesson 1," the record confirming my memory ofthe interesting events of the 7th January, 1822. This impression is on a paper 4x6 inches, headed " Lesson I"—has twelve lines, of five syllables each line, nnd only two letters to each syllable. This was certainly the first action of the press on the Sandwich Islands, and worthy of record for that fact—and, as far as I know, the first motion of the press on any of the shores of the North Pacific. Ocean. The Chineseand Japanese use the block, and not the press in their printing. Did the Spaniards ever use the press on the shores of the North Pacific ? If so, when did they use it, and what did they use it for ? The press may have found its way to Mexico (city) but 'that is far from the shores of the Pacific.

Captain Potter, of Newport, R. 1., was a wealthy and amiable gentleman, whose family consisted of his wife, who was the paltern of virtue, and DM daughter, who, though very young, exhibited the polished beauty of her mother nnd the vivacity of her lather. As he was nuch experienced m the business of a sea captain, he was offered the command of a vessel, which promised great advantage, and with grout reluctance lefl his amiable wife and child, once more to try his fate nil that element whose composure lines t,, ih,.

With these words be departed. Alas! Mrs. Potter whs doomed to drink deep at ihe fountain of woe. After waiting the period of his expected return, she began to gaze with anxiety upon every sail thnl appeared in view, and eagerly sought every opportunity lo learn from public documents some tidings of her absenl husband, or tbe fate of the ship in which he sailed. But all her efforts were ineffectual; ihe only in. formation thai ever could be, or at least ever way obtained mi the subject, was from an English vessel, which ran thust "Mnj 16, 17{)(>. ipoke with the Ranger, from Newport, Cant.

When she saw others blithe, it only reminded her of her own sadness; while others wen- enjoying the reciprocity of conjugal .society, it pointed h'T to the loneliness of her own heart. While other children were happy in the smiles of their parents, her angelic Mary would climb upon her knee, and, with accents thai nnd a mothers heart, inquire if her father would not return. But month after month wasted away; season after season rolled their tiresome wheels along, until fourteen years had been added to the congregated Centura » of the past, yet no tidings came of Capt. P.; no, not even a probable conjecture cm rning the darkmysteries of his fate. Time, that changes all things, had worn away the acutenesi of Mrs. Potter's grief, which whs far more intense than it would have been had she really wept at his grave and known thnt the lust moments of her husband had been soothed by affection.

For many years the deceased has occupied responsible offices of the Hawaiian Government. He was the bosom friend of the late King, and his constant companion, up to the death of His Majesty. His death occurred on Saturday, July 18th. The time ot tin' funeral has nni been announced. During the brat few days, an epidemic been has generally prevailing throughout our community. It touch resembles the old influenza. Serious fears are expressed that it may prove fatal, in many cases, among the native population. It is particularly severe upon "fast" people, and those of irregular : habits. Donations.—For repairs in Bethel, from Dr. R. W. Wood, $25; from Capt.

The Chaplain would acknowledge, from Mrs. Dominis, for distribution among seamen, valuable files of the Ijmdon Uhistr.nte/i Nfus \m Stria, Vol. u ! In compliance with an appointment from the Hawaiian Missionary Society, I took passage on the Morning Star, May Ist, for the Marquesas Islands. Our winds were easterly, both north and south of the equator, with but one,or two days' exception, till we reached the islands. Beating our way from within two days' sail of Tahiti, with a strong curmost rent against us, we reached Hivaoa, the Group, the Marquesas northwesterly island of on the :jOth of the month. On the Ist of June, we observed the Monthly Concert of Prayer for Missions, near midway between Nuuhiva, Washington and Adams' Islands. Our collection for Missions amounted to $30 50. Still beating our way, and nearing every island of the group, as we passed it, we reached the east end of Hivaoa on the morning of the 4th of June, thirty-four days from Honolulu. Sailing in sight of the island, and the north side of it, the day previous, we had formed a pretty correct idea of the localities of the brethren, in case they were on the island. But whether either of them, except Br. Bicknell, was there, was all uncertain, and where his locality might be, was only a matter of conjecture. As we neared the first bay to the north of the island, we saw what proved to be two or three houses at the head of the bay, five or six miles distant. The old whale-boat was ne*r �tin; 50 lowered in a rough sea, and manned, and with Naroakeha on board, we rowed lor the shore, while the vessel lay off and on. We soon found our boat leaking rapidly, but a bucket and a sailor's boot, plied to the work of bailing, kept it comparatively free. Whore were we going, and with whom were we to meet, occasioned some |est.s anion,' the sailors, that indicated noMnalldegn f trepidation of mind. Midway to the shore we descried a boat approaching us, lilled with bareheaded, naked, tattooed men. whose visage was wild and uncertain in its indications. Approaching them, I enquired tor Kekela they pointed inland. I enquired tor Mr. Bicknell; they pointed to another valley. Their countenances then appeared to assume a milder aspect, and our men began to gain their assurance. 1 induced the natives to return with us to the shore. Compliance seemed cheerful ; and one of them soon proposed to get into our boat, as theirs was the best manned. As we assented, he plunged into the sea, and was soon in our boat, rowing like a hero. (A naked man. with brawny arms, tattooed on every part, and having only a show ot covering.) We approached the shore—there was a high surf on,—our men ; did not understand beach-combing, as they said;—-and our pilot could not well make US understand how to manage; but he did the best he could, and we got ashore not much wet. Before reaching the shore, we found the buildings seen from the vessel to be the tenements of the Papists; and the priests Wem in front, anxiously waiting to welcome a friend and a vessel, which they had long expected. But as Kekela arrived at tin' beach the moment 1 reached land, the warm embrace, the hearty greeting, the expressive silence that we both maintained for some minutes, surrounded as we were by a hun- dred OT a hundredand fifty natives, mostly children, was a sufficient token for the Papists to retire, which they were not slow to improve. We walked towards Kehela's house, which was in a grove of bread-fruit, cocoa-nut, hao, aoelo and banana trees, quite concealed from view. I soon revealed mv immediate errand, and fuund that arrangements had been made to have a general meeting at llanaahi. on Hivaoa, Mr. Bicknell's location. RTUVEOHNSFATUHIVA. TELVA,OINSDT Soon our preparations were made; we hastened to the boat, and dashed through the surf towards our vessel, now invisible, except her top-mast, in the distance. But the scene which our eyes had beheld—nac strange sfioc.kmg—was before the minds of us all, exet'pt Keke,la, to whom such sights had become familiar. We had taken the natives all at unawares, p.ed so we saw them when least on their giuyri, and most like — w'bemselves — After getting through the surf ji fkm:ni>. lv. isr>7 into com|Kiratively still water, and the boat hailed, all was silent save the splash of the oars, and each one indulged his own train ol reflection. By and by one of the seamen said, "Well, such a Sight as that I never saw before." Another said, "That was worth the dollar I gave al the monthly concert." Another still, "Those who ay that Missionaries have done no good, are fools. I low is it possible thai such men can be civilised ? What can induce a civilised man to live among them " Our hoar went on.and before the sun had set we were all sale on board, and urging our Way to Patuhiva. We now felt thai the mist ol uncertainty, that had hung over us, was being dissipated, and our business was assuming a more tangible form. At the dawn of the ne\l day, we were under the lee of Patuhiva, hoping to reach the nnchoMge before sunrise, laud our car :o, and be on our wav back with Missionaries and freight for Hivaoa before dark. But God hail otherwise determined —sunrise and breakfast came, anil we were not up lo the anchorage. Many Fatuhivans came on board.

So we resolved on .spending our Sabbath at Omoa. On Saturday, the work went on of landing tilings for the station, and taking on the goods for the brethren on Hivaoa. It was well understood that Patuhiva was not to lie forsaken by the Missionaries, as God had not forsaken it. We arranged for meetings in Hawaiian, Patuhivan and the English languages, and for the Lord's Supper. At an early hour, Sabbath morning, the natives bpirnn to come around in considerable numbers. All who had broken away from the kapu system, entered the house and tool, seats, perhaps fifteen in all (libel's, who feared the kapus, sat or stood near the side of the house, which was open to the west in all, forty or fifty. We felt it to he a good occasion. The songs of praise, and words of instruction from the text, "(1011 is love," were listened to by many with much apparent interest. We sat down to the Lord's table, men from six different nations of the a»rth, fifteen in all, and called to mind the dying love of Jesus in his sacred ordinances, while the Morning Star, floating in sight, at the distance* of half a mile, spake unequivocally to many hearts ' : : Savior, "Uu earth, into all the and preach my (lospel ye to every creature," was not being wholly disregarded by His people. The day will long 1)0 remembered by many as a good Sabbath in a land where the people perish for lack of vision. On Monday, a meeting of the chiefs and people was called. 11l lULT OF TMI.'KI'. Vr.AKs' LABOR ON FATIIIIIVA. But before leaving this island, let trie say that after more than three years of labor, sell-denial and suffering, God has obviously acknowledged the labors of his servants on Patuhiva. Schools are now desired, adults and children attend them, and some from the thick mists of darkness are feeling after the light Two have been admitted to the church, one ol' whom they hope has yxme thus early to heaven; L)v> attend public worship, of whom ill are daily attendants at school 12 attend school in another place, bill fear to go to public Worship ; 111 children also attend school ; making ill all 45 attendants at sch,ml. Said Abraliania Nakua to me, more than once, " Do not fad to let us have two teachers at this place; the work of tied has coniuieiiced here, a li';ht has been kindled, and it will never go out; do not forsake us," The truth of his remark was obviou- io me. Said another, "The taboo- an 1 growing old." But I must pass that last command of the risen • along. DRUNKEREVEL. We took' an excursion, one mile inland, to drunken revel, or an awkward attempt to imitate drunkenness. The cocoanut-treos are now being tapped in large numbeis, lo tiie total destruction of thi fruit-buds, to prosee a the sap, which, whether fermented or not, makes an intoxicating drink. It is but cure few months since this evil has been introduced into Patuhiva, where foreigners have the whole credit of teaching it. One of a thousand illustrations this, that the vices of civilization are in advance of Christianity. a GENRM AL EETING. Our General Meeting was commenced, in due form, at Hanaahi, June 12th, 1557, at 3 o'clock, P. M„ and regularly organized by choosing a chairman, scribe and business committee. The meeting was continued through eight successive day.-, at this place, not including the Sabbath ; and was then adjourned to Hanatakuua, and closed with a short session, June 2-'ld. But as much as two days of this time was occupied in sorting out and dividing up supplies, which, it is hoped, in future, may be mainly done in Honolulu. The business transactions of the meeting will be woven in with pther things, as they come along: 1. Voted, To welcome Kaukau and wife, as fellow-laborers, to this Missionary held. 2. Voted.

The examination proved satisfactory, and il was voted that he be baptized and received into the church to-morrow, at the time of the communion. Various oilier items of business acled. were trans- CHRISTAN SABBATH. The Sabbath dawned—a beautiful morning. Venus and Jupiter appeared in great splendor over the dark blue hills, and our Morning Star, snugly anchored in the little egg-shaped harbor of Hanaahi, seemed lo vie with those brilliant stars of light, to tell her tale, not of creation's birth, but of a risen Savior's birth. After breakfast and prayers on board, we saw a few persons coming over a mountain-spur, high as the Bali of Nuiiaim, to the place of meeting. At half-past nine o'clock, we were all on shore, assembled under the shadow of the cocoanut-trecs, on a platform of boards, landed the day before, and spread out for the occasion. There we sang hymns of praise in English and Hawaiian, prayed in Hawaiian and Fatuhivan, (Marquesan,) and preached in Hawaiian, which was interpreted into Fatuhivan, (Marquesan,) one hundred or more being present. After (his, Tohutete, having heard our cove. nam, and having consented to il, was baptized by the name of Dainela Tohutete, into the name of the Holy Trinity—no one disapproving; the heathen themselves saying that he was another man, unlike to them and unlike to his former self. After this we sat down tO the table of.(he Lord, seventeen ill number, from six different nations of the earth, sod celebrated the dying hoe of o ur Lord and Savior. There were at the feast two Marquesans, ten Sandwich Islanders, two Americans, one Englishman, one Dane, and one Norwegian. The Master of the feast also condescended to make one in our midst, ami we felt thai it was good lo be there. After this we returned lo the vessel. aii(lnt half-past two o'clock'convened again, nailer the trees, with a larger congregation than in the morning. The usual exercises of the ordination were performed with decency and propriety all were interested some understood, and others did not, the language, which was partly Hawaiian and partly Patuhivan; and the heathen looked on and wondered. A meeting in English followed the ordination, after which we all reiired.

The native Missionaries, men and women, have been barefoot, most of the time, for two years. Mr. Bicknell would have been reduced to the same necessity, had not ('apt. Wing given him four pairs of shoes, ('apt. W. also gave him beef, pork, biscuit, a hatchet and several knives, which were a great relief. The native Missionaries generally have been destitute ot' these articles. Kekela had hut one decent shirt when we ajrived, and Kuuwealoha was wearing a borrowed one. Their clothes, platet, knives and forks, &C., had to a great extent gone to pay for food and the expense of their voyages between Patuhiva and Hivaoa. To the question, By what name should your Mission be called i lic-phj—For the present let it he called "The Mission to the Marquesas Islands." But they said that the name Nuuhira embraced all the islands, as Hawaii does the Sandwich Islands. To the question, By what Question —Do you think it expedient for you to dwell at separate stations ? liiply (unanimous) —Yes, for the present. Question—What are your reasons for this sentiment? Ilrphi —l. Because we are wanted by the people in many more important places than we can occupy separately. ii. Because we have no fear Irom the people in dwelling alone. :!. Because the land is cm up into deep ravine.-, and it is difficult to pass from one lo the other, except by boats. 1. Because the people of one valley are ashamed to be dependent on the chief of another valley for instruction from his teacher and so a jealousy arises, which would generally injure a teacher's influence. .'). Because we fed that these little lights, lit up in the separate valleys, will !><• more likely lo enlighten, in the end, tht whole mass, than it at the present lime ihey are thrown two or move together into one valley. fi. Because the people of Hivaoa are more friendly, and more disposed to receive and treat Missionaries with kindness, than were those of Patuhiva. We therefore have im fear, so long as we follow faithfully our Master's business. The Missionaries, however, earnestly re. quest that each of the four stations may be reinforced by another Missionary the coining year, and that lour new stations on Hivaoa may be taken. OCHILDFRENMISSIONARIES. The Missionaries expressed great solicitude for their children, two of whom are now three years of age, and who speak only the Nuuhivan dialect, as their parents usually do. They do not wish to send them home to be educated in the Hawaiian, hut in the English language. If the children remain with their parents, who must keep open doors, if they would do any good to the Marquesans, till the age of six years, they will suffer irreparable loss. Who will take them, or pay for their education at the islands ? GENRIAL TEMS. tenure do you hold your lands, building spots, &c?

Question—Would you like to have a part ofyour supplies sent to you in common, and kept in deposit, to he called for as needed ? Rcjtty—No ; let our goods be sent only at the orderof us individually ; but a good boat of eight Ot ten tons, decked over like a raised whale-boat, would be of great use to us in common -nothing else. 1. A letter was read, addressed to the Hawaiian Missionary Society, expressive of the high gratification the Missionaries felt in the visit of the Delegation, embracing a request that another visit of like kind be made them by a Missionary from the Islands, the coining year, 2.

His reference to the Bible and Sabbath plainly indicate that he was a Bible, loving and Sabbath-keeping commander. There is one sentence which we have taken the liberty to print in capital letters. It deserves to be printed in letters of gold, and the sentiment, embodied in the instructions, given to the commander of every man-of-war, merchant vessel and whale ship sailing from the shores of a Christian nation. Quite too long have those engaged in national, commercial and sea-faring pursuits supposed that they were justified in conducting their enterprises upon any other than 'jospel principles. The golden rule should apply to nations as well as to individuals. The spirit of the command, " go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature," is as plainly addressed lo the commander of a man-of-war or a whale ship, as to any Missionary in Polynesia or China.

Ki v S. C. DaMOA — Dear Bra.: —I have a few items for the Friend : it von think them worth publishing, they arc at your service During the second week of this month we had twenty ships in qui harbor, all spermwhalers. The first three came in on the 8th and Bth of September—the last four came in the 5th of October. Such ■ fleet makes our harbor look quite like a port of entry, Strong's .\s I have cruised ahoul the beach, and paddled around the harbor, I have frequently remarked upon the well-behaved and orderly deportment of the sailors; but, by the yelling and hooting we heard some nights, when a little iitjnor had been obtained from ships, I was led to suspect we should see a different state of things had there been a few progshops on the beach. Rut some men will mn away. Our rugged mountains and deep giens look inviting to thern. Thev My they are hadlv used. I have known men to run away. who said they were well used. Some have heen trying it from these ships. One hoat left the other night, with some dozen in it. I fear they will find a watery grave. Strone-'s Island is a had place for runaways. Thev can't stay run Quite a number left one ship; some got sick of it, and came ' hack; others had to lie hunted up, and. showing fight, one of them '„ ot badly mauled by the natives—a rih or two broken, and his life endangered. His fellow-sailors thought they must he revenged on such an act of cruelty, so severe threats were made upon the authorities and the inhabitants, in case one or two of those natives were not given up to lie maimed «r murdered. Two houses were burnt; and hut for the prompt and decisive action on the part of the Captains of the different ships, in getting their men on board before dark, there had heen, probably, much sadder results to he recorded ; it is not improbable there would have been some loss of life. We were surprised to hear from some sources the advice to let the natives of themselves, and settle the diffitake culty with the sailors with cold lead—and the means were put in their hands to do it! What were a little handfull of sickly natives against such a posse of excited and revengeful white men ? Allowing the .number of desperadoes to be but verv small, they could excite, and lead tin to atrocious deeds, men who would be shocked >l their doings at the moment of cool reflection, when it would 1x3 loo late to recall their acts, and the vard-arm s\\in? might be the demand of justice for the B\ KRY foolhardi act ! r 53 TIE I KUAN 11. II I. Y. I take great pleasure, in behalf of my people, and of our Mission, to make grateful mention of the noble and judicious course pursued by some of the Captains, for our protection and safety. Some said there was no need of it, for nothing could be done. But discretion is the better part of valor. TWO houses in ashes, would be a sufficient index for most men to rally lor defense. "Oh. it is only a Kanaka house, and poor at that!" Hut the same principle that burns the Kanaka house, would fire the while man's dwelling. In the latter case, a swing from the gallows would he the forfeit. The more I see and learn ol the depredations and outrages practiced upon the poor, defenseless natives, the less I wonder at their occasional cruelties to shippingand to whites. In time eases out of ten, 1 venture lo say it is revenge for previous Wrongs done them, or it is self-defense. Any depredations niav be made upon a poor Kanaka—his cocoanut trees robbed, bis canoe stolen, his house plundered ; and if he asks for redress, he gets a kick, a cull', or a curse—not by every one, 1 am most happy to say, httl by many—far, lar While 100 many of those who visit them. if one of these poor fellows is caught stealing a shirt, or a knife, or a biscuit, the whole ship is down on him, and if he (rets ashom with his head on, and no bones broken, he may consider himself a lucky chap. Why this inequality of justice >. But the great death-blight with US underlies all this. When the first ship of this fall fleet came into the harbor, Mrs. Snow and I were making the tour of the island. Our first news from it was at daybreak the next morning, of men passing us in post-haste, by ordered a chief, to get women to go on board ship! A few Sabbath evenings alter that, a:. some natives took a sailor on hoard ola bark, they saw four native women on hoard ol her. I would these were all; but we have too good evidence that it is far otherwise. lam thankful that I can say it is not so with all. Is it to he wondered at that our people are gone, and the race ruined ? Rather is it a wonder that any are left ! At the rate of diminishing for the last year, ill less than ten years the sod will cover the last of the Kusian race! Who cares? Who weeps for a lost race '. Surely not the destroyers, except it lw> that there is no longer a work of death for them ! And with such fact.-, what shall we hope for in our efforts to elevate and save the native race in the Pacific ? It is time the difficulties were laid open to the Christian world, and the tnie state of things looked at, face to bee. There is " darkness n]w>ri the face of the deep."

The New York Observer, Independent, Times, Tribune, and other papers, devote long columns to the subject. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher thus alludes to Dr. Bellows : " Without doubt, Dr. Bellows will hereafter give his presence. He is too honest a to recommend a course lo Christian men which he will not himself pursue. Selecting suitable armor-bearers—for instance, the Board of Deacons—we presume that our good friend will be found sitting conspicuously in front of the Stage, a terror to evildoors, and a praise to them that do well. Vtors and actresses will peep out from behind the scenes to know whether to give the lull nr the expurgated play ; whether they are to play to the top or to the bottom of the ethical scale. These reformatory visits to the (heater we shall not make. But our information upon the effects of the theater has been gathered from less pleasant methods— from boys made wild and ungovernable; from clerks made untrustworthy ; from apprentices made discontented and idle ; from young men initiated into vice, and men not young fatally tainted or broken down by causes which, in part, were planted or developed and nourished by the theater."—hideman pendent, May 11. Some of our readers may remember that in the May number of the Friend, we made a few editorial remarks upon this subject. The following reply came from some unknown correspondent; and although ordinarily we allow all anonymous correspondence lo pass unnoticed, still, in this instance, we shall give our correspondent's remarks a conspicuous place.

Damon :—On taking hold of the Friend of this date, the first thing that at- tracted my attention was an extract headed " Charlie Backus and the Missionaries." To say that I was surprised upon reading it, would but poorly express my feelings. Having had the misfortune,to become connected with the theatrical profession, probably I am as well posted relative to the doings of Mr. Backus, in this affair, as any person in Honolulu; and I deem it my duty as a man, (all are not such that bear the human form,) to pronounce the said extract one entire tissue of falsehoods; and from my slight acquaintance with Mr. Backus, I feel satisfied that he never made use of (he language attribttied to THE FRIEND, JDL ¥, 1857. him. Let his faults be what they may, Charlie Backus has a generous heart, as several here can testify to, they having been the recipients of his charity; and so far from his leaving California in the capacity of a " supe" to a theatrical company, I will state he left California with a reputation unequalled as a negro performer, and came here with the best band of negro performers ever organized in California, and with bill one theatrical man ill his company. What success he met with here, I am not prepared to state hut, on his return to this place, I was assured that they made a complete failure in Australia, losing all they had, ami were compelled to part with their jewelry to raise means to take them to California,'// route for which they stopped here, and based the Royal Hawaiian Theater for siv. nights, for which they paid SlOO rent. They performed but one night, and had the theater been crowded to density on that occasion, the receipts would not have ; exceeded MOO. After deducting rent, printing, board, and oilier incidental expense-, 1 feel satisfied that Backus' share of the .Missionary funds would have amounted to precisely what it did—"just nothing at all." In your comments you say that it is not your intention to refute the statement. In this I think you err. There are many persons, charitably disposed, who get their information of men and things from the papers; and if an accusation of this kind is allowed to pass unquestioned, it may be productive of much harm to the poor and needy. I have invariably made it a rule to speak of men and maimers as 1 have found them, and I pledge you my word that I have endeavored to procure work, in any honorable form that would afford me a bare subsistence*; and although probably as rrnnd a mechanic as ever landed here, until of late 1 found it impossible to procure a day's work. When I would ask for employment, the Stereotyped answer was, "Oh, you area theatrical, and it would hurt my business to employ you, as the Missionaries detest all connected with the theater." Thus was I, by the inconsistency of human nature, forced to obtain a livelihood by the very means they abhorred. Too proud to beg, too honest to steal, I have wanted the bare necessaries of life. And can you still wonder "how a man that is a man," can adopt the stage as a means of obtaining a livelihood ? Tell your Christian friends, " to err is human, to forgive divine," and when they see a |>orson who is willing to forsake a calling that is despicable in their eyes, not to turn the cold shoulder to him. I have known several actors in my day that are now bright and shining luminaries in the Christian Church at home. Convinced of their errors, they renounced the profession, and mnny happy hours I have enjoyed in their society. But not wishing to intrude too much on your valuable time for the present, 1 bid you adieu, hoping hereafter the •' Plain Dealer" will state plain facts, and nothing extenuate, or set down aught, in "malice."

The Island of Ponape, probably lirsl seen by civilized voyagers by Quirosa in 1595, but first made known by the Russian Admiral Lutke in 1&J8, is in latfl0 55 N., long 15SS •2") E. It is a member of that long range Once called the j\'e\v Phil ippitlo,-, but IIOW known as the Caroline Islands, after the royal consort of Charles 11. of Spain. It is difficult to say when or how the name " Ascension Island " was given it. It is inhabited by about 5000 copper-colored natives, members of a race that is traced to the East India. Islands, and ihat is probably Ihe progenitor of the Polynesian. The American Hoard of foreign Missions established a Mission upon it in 1852; and it has since then become an important resort for American whale ship--, about forty recruiting there each year. No island of this whole ranee, nor even of Micronesia, (which includes the Kino's Mill, Marshall, Caroline and Ladrone Islands,) unless it be Guam, of the Ladrone Archipelago, has yet been made a point for accurate meteorological observations, which will enhance the value of records on Ponape. The following Meteorological Table, deduced by Mrs. Gulick from her daily observations, extended through a period of three years, will speak for itself of the more important topics connected with climate. It is lo be regretted that the want of necessary appliances has rendered these observations much less extensive through the whole field of meteorology, than we would gladly have made then*. And the present is an appropriate opportunity for making the remark, that Missionaries would be glad to serve the cause of science, in an incidental way, much oftencr than they do, particularly in meteorology, could they')c supplied with those instruments that are much too expensive for them generally to procure. May it not, with due modesty, be suggested to those having the custody of such instruments for the cause of science, that it might lie well to entrust her implements to Missionaries to a much greater extent than is done—if, indeed, it is ;.t all done. Why call up6n' them to prepare scientific "bricks" for the master-workmen, without granting the requisite "straw," particularly when they are more than willing to labor to their utmost ability consistent with the slill higher interests they have in keep1 �It is in place to quote B remark made D) tic Key. Mr. Mills, of the Navigator Islands, from an article in the Sainoan litporter, on "Hurricanes in the South Pacific": "Had Colonel Reid, when he furnished, through Lord Palmerston and the American Minister, Air. Abbot Lawrence, instructions to the various consuls for observing the course ot storms, at the same time forwarded the like directions to the Missionaries of the various Societies, I am sure that a large additional amount of information would have been furnished."

The typhoons of the China seas, and even of the seas north of the Ladrones, about the Bonin Islands, almost never extend to this island. Yet, once, during the youth of a few of the very oldest inhabitants now living, a desolating wind swept over the island, so tearing up the bread-fruit trees—the principal reliance for food—that an awful famine ensued, and large numbers died. It would seem possible that this was a cyclone. And il is very interesting that a similar gale produced similar results on Strong's Island, five degree* east of Ponape, and that, too, in the memory of the very oldest inhabitants. May not this have been the very same erratic cyclone that swept Ponape < Of the weather Without being able to give accurate udornetric figures, the observations recorded regarding the general character of the days exhibit the fact that there is much humidity, though nothing excessive. Situated just on the southern confines of the northeast trades, and under the northern edge of the cloud /one that hovers over the equatorial regions between the two trade wind zones of the north and south hemispheres, the island is constantly exposed to precipitations from above. Before the trade winds reach the island, they have made their passage over thousands of miles of ocean, ami have become saturated with moisture ; so that, as soon as they impinge on the central elevations of our island, some of which are 2,5.",8 feet in height, the clouds are arrested and showers fall ; and, as the island is but little more than fifteen miles in diameter, tlicy readily pass over them and water the lee no less than the windward slopes. And again, during the summer, while the trades have receded northwards, we are, ever and anon, shaded by the equatorial clouds, which pour their contents most bounteously; yet we are constantly so near the northern boundery of this zone, that we do not experience its severer, its protracted and unpleasant pouring rains of weeks and months. The humidity is consequently more equably distributed through the year than in most tropic regions ; yet we speak of the summer as the season most rainy, if not as the " rainy season." It must be remarked, however, that the last yea**, 1856, during which the trades were very faint through all their usual months, and were quite intrusive through all the months during which they usually absent themselves, was the most dry remembered by the oldest inhabitants. Of the electric phenomena, I can only report that thunder is rare and lightning still rarer. Thunder was heard only twentyeight days in three years, and lightning seen only eight days. So very seldom does lightning prove destructive, that the natives have never suspected its agency, but attribute the results to a direct visitation from their Am, or Spirits, the only gods they reverence. : �.

Where these peculiar ruins are found, the distance from the land to the encircling reef is not halfa mile. Coral flats, slightly higher than low water mark, occupy the whole space. Sonic of the islets are regular parallelograms, fifty feet and upwards in length others are very irregularly trilateral, quadrilateral, or polylatcral, covering, in some instances, several acres. They are so arranged in relation to each other that canal-like apace! intervene, mi an avenge perhaps twelve feet wide, through which the title ebbs and flows. At the junction ol canals or streets from tlillerent directions, they often widen out to many along the shore. In several of the excessively rocky parts, as on the eastern slopes of the Jckoits Island, large bodies of stone are piled up in every imaginable arrangement, forming long walks, embankments, solid squares, and irregular enclosures. 2. Scattered over every portion of the island, with the possible exception of only the mountainous central peaks, arc walls arranged in squares or parallelograms, sometimes a wall within a wall, and often enclosing a pile of well laid stone, in which a small vault may generally be found. These squares arc of every size, from two or three yards to ten or fifteen rods. The walls are of all heights, sometimes scarcely more than a continuous line of stones, and at times five or six feet high, and in one noted case (that shall lie particularly described in connection with the next class of structures) they arc more than twenty feet in height The materials are principally irregular basaltic rocks, occasionally basaltic prisms intermixed, and oft times coral stones fill up the interstices. In some few instances an outer wall encloses an inner. If the walls be of any height an entrance, four or five feet in width, is almost always to he found very near the center of one of the aides. And when there is a double wall, a passage in the enclosed wall exactly corresponds to that in the outer. In many cases near the center of the enclosed space, rather to the side farthest from the entrance, and sometimes quite in one of the remote corners, an apparently solid square of stones will be found, from three to six feet high, and from twelve to fifteen feet in length and breadth, in which is a rude vault about six feet long, three to six feet broad, anil from three to five feet deep. Long, broad stones from the roof of the vault, and often, immediately before the entrance through the the outer wall, an obsolete opening into the vault will be seen, which has been carefully filled up in a way that shows it was done after the original walls of the vault were built. It is sometimes impossible to find a vault in (his central square, yet not often. An entrance to the vault can usually be effected with comparative ease from the top, though that is most palpably not ihe original intent. Human bones, far advanced in decomposition, arc not (infrequently to be found in these vaults, with ornaments, such as were no doubt once used by the inhabitants, and that are much like (hose still valued by the natives not only of Ponape, hut of most Micronesian islands both to the east and west. 3. In one locality on the eastern shore of Ponape, at the mouth of the Metalaniin harbor, on the coral flats between the encircling reef and land, a number of artificial islets are so arranged over the space of perhaps a square half mile, that the appearance is such as the submerged foundations of a modern city with no superstructures might present. These arc the ruins" first discovered by a sailor named O'Connell, in a small volume cntided his " Adventures," and spoken of in Hale's Keporton Ethnography and Philology, connected with the U. S. Ex. Ex. So much of the irreconcilably and egregiously incorrect is mixed with O'Connell's narrative, not " only regarding the ruins, but concerning ; yards. The unvarying structure of these islets is an outer edging or facing of basaltic rocks, chiefly prisms, while tin- whole enclosed area is filled up with closely parked coral stone, to the level of the top of the basaltic wall, which is one, two, or three feet above high water mark. In hut very few cases is this skeleton of the islets crumbled. On several of the islets there are walls of the same structure as thus'- before described, forming enclosures, both with and without central vaults. This whole assemblage of isk ts is now overgrown with vegetation. Some of the larger islets are occupied by bread fruit and cocoanul tiers; the rest, together with lan;.. portions of the canals, are enshrouded with the mangrove. Till within the memory of tome living in 1862, the whole of this locality was densely populated, with the exception of the most sacred spots, and no mangroves were allowed in intrude. A lew inhabitants are still to be found there. On one ol the islets, named Pankalera, where some of the must Important religious ceremonies of the tribe arc several times a year performed, a sort of paved way, laid with broad stones, some of them having a peculiar central depression, leads to a spot peculiarly sacred, over which a small shod is erected. Near by are several low walls, forming more or less decided squares, at different points of which religious ceremonies are, at stated seasons performed. There are ■even! other sacred islets where ceremonies are at times celebrated, and where low walls or pavements can be .seen li\- thus., who ilarc venture in. In the canals, at several different places, are stones of peculiar shapes, one of which is called a turtle, one an ear nrnimeiit, one a wooden trough, and one an instrument for pounding food, all of which are connected with mythological tales. I will not more particularly notice any of the islets, save that one named Nantoaj, the most singular and astonishing one of the whole number, from the structures erected upon it. It was the structures on this islet alone that were briefly and accurately described by the Rev. Mr. Clark, and for the first time delineated by Mr. J. T. Gulick, in the Friend of Dec. 17, 1852, Honolulu, Sandwich Islands. I copy a description of them, written by Mr. J. T. Gulick, October, 1852, and ultimately laid before the American Geographical Society : " They present a front of 160 feet, and arc over 150 feet in length, from cast to west, occupying a little islet about an acre in exThe foundation platform, which consists of coral stones with a basaltic facing, rises about eight feet above low water mark. On the west side, the walls, which are about 20 feet high, are placed back from the edge of the foundation works, leaving a platform 15 feet wide ; hut on each of the other sides tent. the face of the wall corresponds with the buttress, presenting a perpendicular front 128 feet above the water Except on the front, or western end, the walls are not only overtopped by large trees, but are even buried in the green foliage of ferns and hushes and long hanging vines. They appear (Hike perfect, except in one place on (he north side, where, for the space of a rod or two, the wall has given way on the inside, though the outer face is perfect, ami also on the north side western entrance. A broken place in the platform on the front side affords an easy ascent, and an entrance 15 feet in width opens through the walls to the structures within. " At this place we entered antl spent two hours or more in exploring the vaults, measuring the walls ami securing specimens of the prismatic formations, which are almost the only kind of stone found in the walls. Many of the prisms arc over ten feet in length, having live, six and seven sides— the live-siiled ones being the most abundant. One that we measured was eighteen feet in length ami about two feet in diameter, having six sitles. hi constructing the walls, the Stones of one tier have been laid parallel with the line of the wall, anil those of the next transversely. The smallest prisms were three or lour inches in diameter. "Within the outer bulwarks is another enclosure, with 75 feet front and 95 feet depth. It has a foundation platform of its own, on which its walls ami the main central vault are built This platform ia 8 feet above the main foundation on which the outer walls stand, and „ 100 feet broad by 127, which leaves a walk around the enclosure 20 feet wide on the eastern side, and 12 feet above the platform, which leaves the top but a foot or two lower than that of the outer walls. "The lower part of the outer wall is IS feet thick on the west side, and 11 on the " Other sides; but at a height corresponding with that of the foundation of the inner eniliiMiiv, the wall is narrowed, leaving a walk 8 feet wide around the- inner side. Above this, the walls are 10 feet thick in front, ami 0 on the other sides. Besides the wide entrance on (he west side, there is a little passage about 5 feet wide and 4 high through the wall on the south, and a similar one on the north side. The inner walls are built on the same plan as the outer ones—the lower part being ten feet thick, and the upper but five. They arc however finished differently at the top, for the last two or three courses of stones, jut beyond the face of the wall forming a. cornice about 2 feet wide on the outer side. The entrance is on the west side, directly in front of the first one, and of about the same width. In the center is a pile of stone-work 12 paces square at the bottom, and 8 or 9 feet in height. Two surrounding platforms, each a yard in width, divide the ascent to the top into three steps. The top is about 24 feet square. Within (his structure is a vault; " �and on the west sitlc, directly in front of the gateway, there seems to have once been i door-way leading into it, which i„ now strongly blocked up. A narrow entrance has however been opened at the top through which we descended, and found ourselves in a dark cell 8 feet deep, and 11 by 10 in length ami breadth. The only light that reached us entered through the cracks between the long prisms that are laid across over head. The foreigners told us that coral a once formed a pavement on the floor ■oflone the vtull, hut within 10 or 15 years they have been torn up by captain! searching for relics. They say that in WIS ('apt. Chus. Collin, of the ship Ohio, Nantucket, and Capt E. B. Shimian, of the Marcus, Fairhaven, visited the vaults together, and took from it several human bones of gigantic Si/''. " We entered two other vaults, which were outside of the inner walls in the foundation platform, ami not marked by any building above —one on the north, the other cm the south side. We were told that Air. Dudoit, who is now on the Sandwich Islands, took two silver crucifixes from the vault on the south side. Besides the vaults we entered there is one outside of the inner wall, on the east side. We were told of ten others, but their existence is very problematical." It is only necessary to add to the above description that about the islet, on its seaward, noi'th-easterii, aspects, are several low enclosing walls, one without the other at varying distances, the outermost of which is distant from the islet, perhaps (100 feet, and runs so close to the edge of the Hals that a vessel might almost ride alongside of it. TBI BUILDERS or Tlir.SE STRUCTURES. I unhesitatingly acquiesce in the opinion of the Key. fir. Clark, of the Sandwich Islands, and of Mr. Hale, of the United Slates Exploring Expedition, that none but an uncivilized race ofpeople built thesevarious structures on Ponape. The idea that buccaneers, or Spaniards of any character, erected any part of them is the result of a pure exercise of an undisciplined imagination. It is palpable that the race who built any portion of these structures, built the whole; if Spaniards built any, they built all. And more, if Spaniards built any of these Ponape wonders, they also built all those that are to be found on probably every "high" island of Micronesia those certainly on Kusaia (Ualau, or Strong's Island), on Yap, andeven onTinian. Whatever may be reported in print by Capt. Fisher (as found in tin: Annual of Scientific Discovery ol 1553, quoted from the Vineyard Gazette), and verbally by others, of a splendid 'modern "city" in ruins on Tinian, of the Ladrone Islands, we must, till their reports are very much more fully confirmed, continue to deem those structures nearly allied in character and origin to all that have yet been discovered in Micronesia, evidently the handiwork of a numerous, active, architectural, but uncivilized race. Even D'Urville, in his description of the ruins on Strong's Island, utters not a suspicion that civilised talents were — /. l» (. tN T, 185 7. portion of the centuries they have more or [c a actively navigated these seas. How differenl they would have been from anything we find on Ascension Island, need not more than be alluded to. The silvei crucifixes and Spanish dollars found ill one of the vaults at Nantoaj, with a pair of silver dividers, and a brass cannon, found long since on the south side of the island ; together with the tradition that a boat's crew once landed there with shins (probably coats of mail) BO thick that the only mode of killing them was to pierce their eyes, only prove that Spaniards, or people like them, have been here. It is now three centuries since the Spaniards discovered (iuani. It immediately became their "halfway house" between their South American colonies and East Indian possessions. For more than two centuries they traversed the seas most actively,andQuerosaprobably disCOVi red this very island in 1595. It would have been passing Strange bad none of them ever stranded on this island, mid so brought the few relics found. But again, it seems to me as certain i it it was the ancestors of the present race, as that it was not Spaniards, who built these Ponapean structures. The present, race are fully competent to everything found, and arc most intimately connected with them by traditions and religious customs. Why then multiply causes, when the one most palpable, and immediately before us ia more than sufficient? But it is objected (1), that the present race is not competent —that the inhabitants are too lew. too indolent, and have no capacity or talent for such labors. That they are at present too few and feeble is undoubted. They now number on this island about 5000. Yet three years since there were not far from 10,000; and twenty years since there were probably 20,000 or 25,000; and a century since, it is probable, from traditions, that their numbers were even still greater. They are now divided into live tribes, but it is certain from well-expressed tradition, that this is but a modern division. That they are too indolent is equally true at the present time. But they were not always thus. The depressingand enervating influences of toliacco, and ruin and foreign disease, take the life out of every people, and palpably doing so to this people year by year. There is the most positive evidence that in other departments of labor, the degeneracy of this people is even more marked are most than in that of building with stone. Their canoes and houses, and various utensils of past times if now seen, would scarce be supposed to be formed by the present race. That the present inhabitants have no talent or taste for laying stone is quite a mistake. They lay stone most admirably. The foundations of their houses to this day are of stone. They are of course laid by the eye, yet the angles are square, and the faces plumb when any care is exercised. They are, most emphatically, to this day, a stonelaying people, perhaps even as much so as the inhabitants of Strong's Island, who, at least till very recently, rebuild the walls demanded for their erection. about a chiefs house on the death of any Hut it will be sufficient to confine our at- member of his family. tention to the ruins on Ponape alone. We Two large buildings have been erected on well know the general character of structures this island within three years that serve Spaniards would have erected during any much to correct the notion that this people, 59 TII X ¥Itl X N l>, when much more numerous, and when united iiniler one head, could not have built even the moat enormous of the structures now bund of ancient dates. One was a building 60 feet long, by 40 wide, on a solid stone foundation four feet high, erected by the Nanakin of the Kiti tribe. The other was also a private residence built by the then King of the Mctalanim tribe in the northern limits of his tribe. It has a double foundation ; the first is a solid platform of stone 100 feet by .'lO, and eight feet high. The second foundation is a second solid platform, built on tod of the first, itO feet long, 20 feet wide, and S feet high. The followingextract from Key.Mr. Doane's journal, while natives were engaged in laying a Ponape foundation of his house on Jckoits is testimony exactly to the point. " 1 was not a little interested with the earnestness with which they worked. Surely, if there were fifteen or twenty thousand natives on the island, they could accomplish any piece of work they undertook. The way in which i specially the stones, very large ones, were laid bold of and brought to the place, suggested to my mind a sullicient explanation of the structure of the large ruins on this island. Supposing at some past time the population may have been 20,000, and this large number controlled by religious zeal, and powerful, ambitious chiefs, I think, fr om the way natives to-day took hold of the large stones requiring five or six men to carry one, the work on these ruins can readily be accounted lor. All that is needed is some powerful will to command." Says the Rev. Mr. Sturgess in the Journal of Missions, August, 1856: "Some have supposed these walls were for defence, and that they were the work of a more civilized people than now live here. 1 see no necessity for either, as the whole would seem to be of use in the religious rites of the present natives; and there is nothing about them requiring any more skill than is found among this people. The only wonderful thing is, that so much labor should have been performed without machinery." It is also objected (2), that this people have no knowledge of the builders of these structures, have, no traditions concerning them, and that they have nothing whatever to connect them with the ruins themselves. This objection is founded on as total misapprehensions as the first. They have many a tradition concerning them. They unhesitatingly say the "Ani" built them, and Hale most correctly conjectures that " when the natives say these structures were raised by 'hand,' or 'animau' (spirits), they may be merely referring them to their ancestors, the actual builders." They not only " may be," but most certainly are. It is true that some of their " ani," or spirits, are self-existent; but the great mass, antl those that receive the most immediate worship, are but deceased ancestors, and every person of every age and grade, immediately after death, even before burial, is termed an ani. I will reserve to another paper a detailed notice of some of the most interesting of these traditions. There are not howeveronly traditions connected with these ruins, but a large number, if not all, of the stated religious ceremonies are connected with them, and are performed in or by them.

After visiting Strong's Island, and Ascension, it is somewhat uncertain what her cruise may be, but the probability is, that she will visit llogolen Island, to the westward, and returning, cruise among the Mulgmve Islands, to the eastward—thence visit Strong's Island, and Ascension, take ln-r departure for Honolulu, leaving on Ol about January 1, 1958, and arriving on or about March 1st.

He trained the boy to worship the gods ami stand up in awe and abhorrence ol the devils, but never mentioned women to him and always descended the mountain alone to buy food. At length, however, the infirmities ofage compelled him to take the young man with him to carry the heavy bag of rice. As they were leaving the market town together, the son evidently stopped short, and pointing to three approaching objects cried— Father what are these thing* I Look' ! look! what are they ?' The lather answered with a peremptory order—'Turn away your head, they are devils!' The son ill some alarm turned away, noticing that the evil things were gazing at him from behind their fans. He walked to the mountain lop in silence, ate no supper, and from that day lost bis appetite ami was afflicted with melancholy.

While others were shedding tears, and natives wailing because about to part for a season with their teacher, I was happy, experiencing no cares, no sorrows, but stationed myself at the stern of the vessel, where I was soon busily engaged in fishing. I had little idea of what was before me as to what would be my course of life. I have no reason to believe that I then exercised a hopeful faith in Christ, and I went forth with no definite object in view—the general idea that I was "going to America" was the absorbing theme.

Through the artistic skill of Mr. Stangenwald, photographist, of Honolulu, and Mr. Howland, wood engraver, of New York, we present our readers with a most admirable view of the " Home." A comparison of the engraving with the original, abundantly shows artists, in their respective departts, need no commendation from us to make known their ability. We hope seamen will thereby be attracted to make trial of the establishment when discharged from their ships, or ashore on liberty. Since the last season, the house has been thoroughly refitted and improved. The sleeping apartments have been well ventilated, and a large baggage-room built. More than a thousand dollars has been expended in rendering the establishment more complete. Sleeping accommodations have been increased one-half. A large Library has been furnished for the Reading Room. A Book and Tract Depository is sustained by the Bible and Tract Societies. A Shipping Office has been also added, where application from captains, requiring seamen, will be punctually attended to. We will merely add, in conclusion, that the 'trustee?, aided by Mr. and Mrs. Thrum, Managers, have done all in their power, and with the means at their disposal, to render the establishment worthy of the patronage of officers and seamen visiting Honolulu. Now, Mr. Bailor-man, as you look at the " Home," or as you may enjoy its benefits, we desire you will regard it as an honest expression of tin' kindly interest which its tthe . founders and contributors take in your welfare and happiness, in time and eternity. A home may it prove to you while here, and lead you to seek an everlasting home hereafter. bered amongst the advantages of this institution.

The mutineers at once set up a king in the person of the son of the late Mogul Emperor, and we have no certain news of what has transpired since. The most active measures arc of course being taken to suppress this revolt, and it is satisfactory to know, from latest intelligence, that the garrison at Agra and of the neigh- boring stations remain stanch. The Commander-in-Chief is moving down from Umballa with a strong European force, while a cordon of troops of the Gwalior, Bhurtpore, and Putteeallah contingents is being drawn around Delhi, to prevent the escape of the mutineers, who will doubtless meet with a ■needy and righteous retribution. The conduct of some of the native regiments stands out in most pleasing contrast with that of these' scoundrels. Nowhere in India does liner material for an army exist than in Ben- gal, and it has been the vicious system of pampering and coaxing alone that has led to hese lamentable issues. An outbreak has also occurred at Ferozepore, hut we are ignorant as yet of the particulars. It had, however, been suppressed. The opportune return of our European forces from the Golf, enabled us to dispatch without lauding Her Majesty's 64th and 78th Regiments to Calcutta some days ago, and the troop of Madras Horse Artillery, which was waiting here for transports to convey it to Madras. The force left Bombay a week ago by the steamers Assayo and Queen Victoria, and the transports Baby Castle, Avalanche and Kingstown. In addition to these troops the Ist Fuseliers have been dispatched up the Indus, so that the good conduct of our native army, and the perfect confidence we have in its discipline and loyalty, have enabled us to dispatch a force of 4000 Europeans to the Bengal side in the last ten days. .Madras also is readily furnishing its contingent, and within a month the European army of Bengal will be strengthened by an increase of 10,000 or 12,000 men from the other presidencies. An American "Tossing Up" with the Grand Duke Constantlne.—Bayard Taylor relates the following anecdote in a recent letter " Last summer an American, who was on a visit to St. Petersburg, happening to be walking in one of the narrow streets of that capital one muddy day, when he suddenly the Grand Duke Constantlne.

Steam vs. Sailing Vessels.—The impression is becoming settled that steam vessels will ultimately sutiersede sailing vessels, except upon very long voyages. The carrying trade upon the Atlantic is performed, more and more, by steam. The New York shipowners entertain serious fears that their first class clippers*may not find full employment. English steamers are now very extensively engaged in carrying passengers, as will appear from the following statistics, taken from the New York papers Steam vessels from foreign polls, with passengers, lauded at Castle Garden, New York, from January 1, 1856, to July 1, 1857—under the British (lag, 35; Hamburg flag, 11; Belgian flag, 7; United States flag, 2; Bremen flag, 1; French flag, 1 ; total, 57. : French Contracts for Negroes.—The French Government haveentered into a contract with a Marseilles house for the supply of 10,000 Africans to Guadaloupe and Martinique. The contract was, it seems, signed by the French Minisfers of Marine and Finance, on the one part, and MM. Regis, of Marseilles, on the other part, on the l.'lth day of March lasl. It stipulates that the latter nre, within three years, or if possible within less time, to transport 5000 blacks to Guadaloupe, and as many to Martinique, there to work under an engagement for ten years, at the wages of 12 francs 50 centimes a month, out of which each negro so imported has to pay, at the rate of two francs a month, the cost of his trunsport from Africa, which is estimated at 300 francs. MM. Regis undertakes to employ in this service large steam vessels, capable ol containing 800 passengers, and for each adult immigrant, male or female, they are to receive 500 francs, or j£2o sterling. One of these steamers has, we are assured, already sailed. Good Laws for Shipboard.—ln reading Dr. Kane's late work upon Arctic Explorations, we find the following brief summary of the laws to be observed on shipboard : ol our little party belonged to the U. S. " Tenand Navy; were attached to my command by orders from the Department; the others were shipped by me for the cruise, and at salaries entirely disproportioned to their services all were volunteers.

Once upon a time, it matters not how long ago, or where, but once upon a time, we were conversing with a certain Judge, upon the subject of preaching the Gospel. Said the Judge, « If I was a preacher, I should wish to own my own church, and have my salary secured to me, then let the people ioine and hear me preach, and I should be able to lot them know the truth, without fear or favor." Ah, what nice times those would be for preachers ! How unlike the present! Then, what fearless preachers would supply the pulpits of the land ! Seldom, however, has a preacher ever owned his own church, or stood perfectly independent of his people in the way of support. We have beard and read of some few such instances, but they have been exceedingly rare. They have been the exception. Such a system would not work well, Metier send out twelve penniless apostles, to proclaim the Gisjm'l through the Roman Empire, than twelve rich preachers, able to command the resources of an English bishopric ! It may be well to make the Judge an indeptndent, hut not the preacher! Some preachers style themselves independent; but this by no means refers to their pecuniary position. The laborer, we have high authority for asserting, is worthy of his hire! "If we have sown unto you spiritual things," writ.-; St. I'anl to the Corinthians, -is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal tilings " We have been led to indulge in these remarks because many suppose that preachera are not so fearless and independent in the pulpit, as they Would !«• if they Were less dependent upon their people for support. Now, we lake an entirely different view of the matter. It is not the rich parson who preaches with the fearlessness; and faithfulness of I'aulor Peter. Riches never added to a preachers real power. If you would make the preacher bold and out-spoken, give him neither riches nor poverty; but let him feel that he is one with his people. If they are prosperous, let him share in their prosperity ; and if they are called to suffer adversity, then their Pastor will he ready to share their lot. The preacher should not seek the indijHiidrnce rightly conceded to the Judge upon the Bench, but aim to go forth as his Sovereign's ambassador! Then we are ambassadors for Christ; "as though God did beseech you by us, we pray you, in Christ's stead, Be ye reconciled to God."

He essayed to call for help, but the salt water in his throat prevented, and the coughing, and sputtering, and struggling of the poor fellow was such, that neither the second officer nor Peter Petersen could restrain their risible muscles, but burst out into a laugh which ran:' merrily through the ship, and was the means of bringing Jonathan to his senses—though not before the watch below, as well as the remainder of the watch on deck, roused by the dreadful cry of "a man overboard," hail rushed to the scene of action in time to enjoy the joke.

So long as this debt remained small, and the im|K>rtnnce of building and furnishing the Home seemed BO great, the Chaplain has not felt inclined to make a special appeal for funds.

The Chaplain would appeal for, at least, 81000, to carry forward these enterprises. In regard to the importance of these objects, we will not add a word, for both have been for many years before the public. In regard to the economy practiced in managing these objects, it is believed money is not wasted—at any rate, accountbooks are always open to public inspection. It has been suggested that the " hat" should be passed for the Bethel, as is the practice in other parts of the world. The Chaplain would remark, that said practice having never lieen introduced at the Islands, he prefers, at; heretofore, to re| v upon voluntary donations. Having never, in vain, made an appeal for nds to carry forward these and other benevent enterprises, the Chaplain fervently hopes the necessity nnd reasonableness of present appeal will so fafcommend it to c benevolent :nnnnp seamen and l:iiiri«men.

Some two years ago, a young man left his home in Western Pennsylvania, and ere the parents could overtake him, he had shipped on hoard an American whaleship bound to the Pacific. They followed him to New Bedford, but the vessel had sailed. Letters were forwarded. They reached him, and he wrote home. Those parents fondly hoped he would return. When the vessel left Honolulu, a year ago lasi March, it appears be endeavored to make his escape on a board, but the almost certain probability is that he never reached the shore. No farther trace of the unfortunate young man can he ascertained, hut his anxious and afflicted parents, like one of old, almost "refuse to he comforted." Letters an I daguerreotypes have come to hand, ill the hope he might he identified, hut all in vain. We do hope this may prove a sober and solemn warning to seamen never to trifle with a parent's heart, or recklessly endanger their own lives, This young man. however, did one thing that imparts groat comfort to those afflicted parents ke wrote to them. In one letter he spoke of his efforts to instruct his shipmates. What comfort thai ietter now affords to that almost distracted mother.

Here is a pledge or promise ol God, that the Jewish people shall not he lost. They are scattered abroad, hut not lost or forgotten. They have wandered among all nations, Inn they do not linda home among the nations. They look to Canaan or Palestine as their home. It would seem that the " Wandering Jew " ever maintained such a position that at any moment he might pull up and "start away" for the promised land I In the countries whither he wanders, he does not manifest a desire to become a land-owner and tiller of the soil, because then he would acquire a fixed habitation and permanent dwelling-place. "The present existence of the Jews," an eloquent writer has beautifully remarked, "is perhaps the chief sign of the times in which we live. Their very being is a miracle. Like their bush on Mount I lurch, they have survived amid the flames of incessant persecution. The names of Athenian, Roman, Theban, Spartan, live in the records of the past only ; their existence is. registered on their tombstones hut the.Jew walks every street; speaks and dwells in every capital; transacts the world's business on every exchange. ' * They are reft indeed of their Urim and Tliuminim, the Mitre, and (he Glory, and the Altar, and the overbading Cherubim, and the Temple of Jerusalem—their joy—but they themselves remain, distinct and incapable of amalgamation with the tribes and kindred of the earth. Like streams from some fountain whose waters are of strange and characteristic flavor, they have rolled along the successive centuries of time, without blending with contemporaneous or even, opposing flood.:.

A sailor who visited Honolulu a few months since, thus writes us from Madison county, N. V., under date of August 23 : " I came home in the same ship that 1 was in at Honolulu, Young Vlurn.ij. VVc did not touch at Oahu, hut Lahaina, or I should have called and paid yon for the books you gave me. We arrived in New Bedford, April 7th, 1557. I cleared on the voyage $200, so I concluded to stay at home with my Friends, and not go tn sea again, You know something of a sailor's heart ; so now I will come to the ease |n hand. I have thanks (o oiler lor a revival of religion in my heart when I was in Honolulu. The love of (>od, which I hail professed, had grown cold, hut while attending meetings at the Bethel, it was revived." 11 is cheering to learn that there are those among seamen who are steady, saving, and inclined to serious things. Would that the number was greatly increased ! If sailors now visiting Honolulu, squander their hardearned money, associate with the vicious and corrupt, the fault is their own. They have no one (n blame hut themselves, ilow pleasant and gratifying il would he to see all seamen prudently saving tlnir money, to take to their friends, or expending ii in a manner which would contribute to their happiness and respectability. Sailors, think over ibis matter! ASailor's Hope in Christ. Some months ago we met a seafaring man who had weathered many storms, cruised in all seas, and tried in various [daces to obtain happiness, hut at last, after many months of reading and reflection, and no help but his Bible, and good hooks, concluded to seek the Lord as his portion, and take Christ's yoke. This man thus writes us from Callao:— "My dear friend, there are many temptations and trials on hoard ship, bin the Lord holds me up. I shall never he able to thank Him enough lor what He has done for me, for I shudder when I look hack and see what I have been, and wonder the Lord spared me no long. 1 would not one tip my hope in Christ if 1 could lie the King of England, and have all the world under my control, for what should.) he profited to gain the whole world and lose my soul. No! away with all the world, and I will hold fast to my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, for He is my only hope, my Rock and Ily Salvation, and In Him will I trust, and Him only do I desire to serve while I live. That is my prayer •every day." Such a calm and settled purpose to adhere to the right way, bespeaks the power of an inward principle, the very same as that sustaining, animating, and cheering the good of all ages. It is the heaven-bom principle of faith, the same as sustained a Noah, a Abraham, a Daniel, and a myriad of God's faithful servants. The scoffer may scout, the infidel the trifler laugh, and the hypocrite de- ' Ksr, but "Wisdom i*> justified of her children." « B X It. .. ISS Only one Bible on Board. inenec A sailor writing us un account of the death of a native of the Sandwich Islands. incidentally remarks, that only one Bible was found on shipboard "Thursday. Sept., 21.—The sick kanaka died last night, so silent and tranquil whilst I was reading in my hunk, that I was not aware of it until (hey were carrying him Ml deck. It was not expected. He did not appear to sudor much pain In his sickness. He was a little sore in his breast ami hack, and complained of cold just before he died. Ills cheeks were hollow, and his hinlV oiiiaelaled to that of a child's. It was laid on the |r\ works overnight, and ibis morning committed to the sailor's grave. I read (by request of the Captain) part of a chapter of Si. Paul's Epistles on the, resurrection of the dead. There was one Bible on the hark, which yon gave a hoat-stecrvr lasl fall. Mine, which you presented to me two seasons ago, I gave to a young man on the I/iinnset r, supposing that he would require it more than I, and I did not like to ask yon for another." JO We hope no sailor will leave port without buying or allowing us to give him a : Bible. The Little Friend and the Great Independent.— "The Honolulu Friend, a little double-sllCCl newspaper, about the si/c ola even-by-nine jiane of glass, but always one of the mosi welcome of our exchanges, gives an encouraging account of tract distribution in the Sandwich Islands, through the agency of the Hawaiian Tract Society." rr7* We copy the above from a late NewYork Independent, a threat double-sheet newspaper, about the size ofn seven-by-nine counterpane of cotton, but always one of the most welcome of our exchanges, which gives u discouraging account of tract distribution in the Southern States, through the agency ol the American Tract Society. A Promise Well Kept.— Forty years ago mother stood on ihe green hills of \ erinont, holding h\ the righl hand a son sixteen years old, mad with love of tin- sea. And. as she stood by he gate en a sunny morning, she said "Edwin, they tell for I never saw the ocein —that the great temptation of the seaman's life is drink. Promise me, before you quit your mother's hand, that you will never drink." gave her the promise, and went the broad globe over—Calcutta, tie- Mediterranean, San Francisco, the Cape ol Good Hope, the North Pole ami the South —I never sawß glass filled with sparklingliquor that my mother's form by the garden, on tie- »rrcn hill side of Vermont, did not rise before me and to-day, at sixty, my lips are innocent of the taste of liipior." If the young man commencing a seafaring life could be induced to make and keep such a promise, how confidently he might look forward to advancement, promotion, success and wealth. We would especially commend a consideration of this matter, to several young men now in the port of Honolulu, and rifdy. Take a right stand. Touch howl! not, tusic not, the intoxicating Saccess in life depends upon it. f,ook tround, anil heboid the ninny wrecks lying scattered along the reefs of intemperance anil upon ihe shoals of drunkenness! There are seamen mom io the port of Honolulu, before the roai t, and there they itnisl remain, but for the He grading, debasing, ruining and destroying vice of intemperance. Beware,, young man, of the first step in the road to ruin, infamy and .shame. Kindness Rmembered. has never been privilege to meet more than one of the English Missionaries scattered throughout "the Isles of the South," hut We would most cordially thank them, one anil all, for theit —It our oft-repeated .acts of kindness to American seamen avoyagers. The names of Koyle, Bussecott, Thompson, and others, are familiar names in icir hearing, Many a sailor and passenger to and from the United,States,ha had Ins heart cheered and refreshed, and the monotony of a long and tedious voyage relieved, by the kindness of these Mission families. The remembrance of one of lhe.se incidents is thus referred to, in the following extract, copied from a letter dated off Gape Horn, February H>, 1857, lan which has pet come to hand, ll was written by a pai lengei on hoard the ship Lewis. " We stopped at Aitutaki to recruit, where made the acquaintance of Mr. rloyle and Ifamily, ami spent a most agreeable day. On leaving, Mrs. Rovle made me a present of a bag of pin (arrow-root) anil B basket of flowers. To the Captain she gave a pitcher ol milk, We laid In lots ol bananas, pineapple.-, oranges, pumpkins, Sec., and went on our Way rejoicing. I was much pleased with the appearance of the bouses on the island, budl of coral, ami whitewashed inside,andoutside They look substantial and comfortable." a : I I : Assassination of a British Minister.The CallttO correspondent of the Panama Sim-inn!. Herald, under date of August 12, gives ihe following [larticnlars : " News has jusl been sent from Luna that Mr. Sullivan, the British Minister, was assassinated by six Peruvians, li is supposed that he was murdered for the British interference in the matter ofthe Tumbet and l/x>. The Vixen has gone to I'aita in search of Admiral Bruce. "I have just received tbe particulars of the affair: Mr. Sullivan was dining alone, when six men, masked, entered and lired three shots, one of which is fatal, having entered the groin and passed up into Ihe lungs. After the deed was doneone ofthem exclaimed, I am now satisfied.' The steamers Uta/i/n Tumbes are going south to bring back Gen. Castilla, and probably some troops."

We are confident that the expenditures which have been made, have all been made judiciously, and with no other design than that of benefiting seamen, that class of men to ■whom not only Honolulu, but also many other cities, are indebted for their prosperity. We have long been acquainted with you, and have seen your unwearied endeavors to promote their welfare, both spiritually and temporally—laboring with them both night and day, visiting them in their afflictions, comforting the sorrowing, and endeavoring to lead them in those ways wnich are full of peace. We would desire, however, in some more substantial way than that of words, to express our gratitude to you, and our appreciation of your labors, and we therefore beg of you to accept from us, in behalf of the Friend and Bethel, the following subscrip- tions, and with our best wishes for your happiness, and trusting that you may be long spared to labor in the field where Providence has placed you, we remain your devoted friends, - - - - -" -' - - Thomas Spenoer, W.

Bahk Alick Frazikr, ) Ochotsk Sea, Aug. 36, I*o7. j Ma. Editor,—DsUB .Sir :—I take (lie lilicrty of ranasstbsg the insertion of the following article in the .Idvcrlixir, concerning the recent mutiny on board my ship aad the occidental death of its rlnsjnsrtsr. from the hoi of many wild mid SSWUSUUSstoriss respecting it having got current BSSOSUJ lb* Heel,—from the general rapiest of many of my BSOSt respectable brother masters, ami from the farther and greater consideration of combating llmillllllliim censure ami sneers upon my conduct which have emanated from some few sympathizers with the villains, I had felt myself called upon to imprison, tad subsequently to abandon upon the BlSt available shore, both from fears of murderous injury to my officers sad myself, ami also from a general reqasst from many of the unaffected part of my crew. The circumstances of the case are these :—Among the seamen I had occasion to ship to my vessel last February, at the port of Valparaiso, were s gang of live, past of which wer<' the most finished villains 1 have yet had dealings with. The ringleader of the livehad him at the head of a gang ofburglars and highway robber* at the port of shipment, for sometime before, and by his own account of himself, confirmed by his gang on board my ship, had lulledseveral persons by premeditation, and ere his death almost constantly carried a slung-shot of one pound weight, accompanied by a keenly sharpened knife which he swore to use upun the first available occasion, particularly that it should drink my heart's blood in revenge for an offense 1 a in about to relate in connection with his being smuggled on board my ship. This person was not shipped to my vessel, either upon the " articles" or by any other method, but got on board after this manner lieing told by a perfidious shipping master of the port, one I'elcher, that there was a nice young man in the calaboose, imprisoned tinili-lil only," 1 requested to see the fellow at the Consul's office in the course of making up my complement of seaiuen. lie was soon brought, when, immediately upon setting my eyes upon him, I informed the shipping master I would not have such a persou on board my ship lit any rate, us his entire physiognomy wore the undeniable expression of a low-minded, blood-thirsty villain. This I said in the man's presence and hearing, whereupon he was passed out of the vestibule of the oliice and S young man brought forward in his room, who was shipped ia his stead, though merely as a decoy as it subsequently proved, for the robber, Harry Sheppard, waseventually smuggled on board in his stead. I had ran off on my course some thirty-six hours before the fellow made his appearance, and it was not until several days after that the great atrocity of the fellow's character began to develop itself. By his own account, and that learned of him in course of conversation with the steward and others, 1 concluded to make the best of it by retaining him on board and treating him according to the merits of his behavior. We soon learned that, instead of his having been imprisoned for debt, ho was under sentence to bo whipped to death except he could depart out of the country within a limited time, and that, as a short time previous he had robbed o store of some $1,700, he had bribed the said Pelchcr to procure his release after the übove wise. Having previously found by experience on a recent occasion that three of my under 0810611, were but more apologies for disoiplinarians, not having the faculty of maintaining the common discipline of a well-ordered ship with old seamen to deal with, with not even energy sufficient to free themselves from the grossest insults, I took early opportunity of requesting them to be very guarded in their dealings with the new seamen, especially with the man Harry and bis gang. It is needless to state the many methods and the rapid grades by which this gang ofscoundrels paved the way to open mutiny; among which was the throwing of an insulting letter into my room by tho ringleader, keeping a pile of bricks at the forecastle gangway to cast at out of the officers, when he inter- : " I■ It 11; N l>.

He said he wanted to find out the author of the letter. Ho then sail, all of you who are willing to work on such provisions, go on tho other side of the deck. Out of twenty-eight men, but four signified their satisfaction with the provisions. The Captain then ordered the mate, Mr. Chose, to put the others in irons, but when the irons come on Mek rouutermonded the order, saying to the men go forward and attend to your duty, and you shall "have the usual provisions." Front this time until five weeks before getting into the Ochotsk we had no incision to complain of the provisions. In the meantime, the fifth mate, who was also cooper of the ship, was in the habit, as we afterwards found and listening out. of creeping forward at the forecastle bulkhead, aad then going aft to the Captain and retailing us pure earnest whatever was siid by the crew. Any one who is familiar with sailors, is well nvvare that there is a great deal of What is called "blowing" and "gassing" that goes on in the forecastle, but which is very harmless in reality. All these idle tales the fifth mate no doubt greatly exaggerated while relating them to the Captain, and the consci|uence was that he again got very bitter against us. especially five of us who were old sailors, and knowing more about seamanship than flic fifth mats, came in for a double share of misrepresentation. The provisions were again cut short, and nothing but beef and (Tread allowed. On the lOthof June, one of the men named Carroll, went aft to the Captain, with the kid or beef tub. and asked the Captain if we were to have no different food than that? Captain Newell replied "No, d- u you, you will get no mure." Carroll made no reply, and went forward. The crew talked the matter over among tli selves and agreed together that they would make no disturbance about it then, butth.it when we got amongst whales we would not work if we had no belter food. This was overheard and told the Captain, with how much of exaggeration I cannot say. On the afternoon of the same day, Capt. Newell called two of the men to go down into the sail room, and take two sacks of potatoes, (of which we still had a good supply on board) from the steerage into the lower cabin. When there, the door was shut liehind them, and the Captain, with a revolver in one hand and a cutlass in the other, said to the men—" I have been waiting for you a long time—now, 1 hove got you, go in irons. You did not have spunk to say soy more. Either go in irons or take a bullet." The men without attempting any resistance were then ironed with their hands behind their backs and then lashed to a chain cable. The ship at this time was beating through tho ice. After putting the two men in irons, the Captain went on deck and hove the ship to, telling .lames Powers, who was at tho wheel, to put the helm amidships, and go forward. As he went by the cabin door, the mate called him in, and the Captain followed, when they put him in irons and fasti ned liiin with tho others. As they were ironing him, Powers said " Captain, why am I put in irons?" The Captain said,""never mind—go in irons." On Powers repeating the question, the Captain struck him with his revolver over the head and knocked him from tho upper to the lower cabin, where he was fastened with the others. unprincipled cabin window accuser.

Respectfully yours, 0. M. Nkwii.i., Master of bark JlUct Frazitr. I lloxoui.c, Nov. 'JO, 18'j7. Mr. Earroa: in your paper of yesterday's date, I notice a long letter from Captain Newell of the bark Alice Frazitr, in which he gives his version of the circumstances attending the death of one of his men in the Ochotsk Sea, .and the abandonment, of four others on the desolate shores of Mercury Bay. ilaving been one of the terrible " mutineers" myself, I will, with your, permission make a plain statement of the hots as they occurred. (In the 27th of March hist, the Alict Procter shipped almost an entire crew at Valparaiso, being the third crew since leaving home in IS-Vl. V7s shipped with the plain understanding that we were going on ;i sperm whale voyage,but the day after leaving port, Capt Newell called all hands aft, and told them that ho was going to the Ochotsk. On some of the men remarking that they had not shipped to go North, he said, " I am going where I please. Do you do your duty, and I will treat you well and give you plenty to sat and warm clothing." The latter, we afterwards ascertained, he had not on board. The crew however were satisfied with what the Captain said, ami went cheerfully to work, fitting and overhauling the rigging which was in a bud condition when we joined her. We were well treated and had good victuals, until a circumstance occurred which turned the Captain against us. Some of the men had borrowed books from the Captain, which, on being returned, were in a soiled and damaged condition. The man Henry Sheppard (whose right name was William Gosh, he having taken the place on the articles of one Sheppard who had left) was very fond of having books read to him, though he could neither read nor write himself. On this occasion he requested the loan of some books, but was answered very surlily by ('apt. Newell, that there were no books for him. lie went forward and got one of the crew, who is still on board of the ship, to write a letter to the Captain, which, though impudent, was not at all threatening, and was more for a "lark" than anything else. This was thrown into the cabin window during the dog watch from six to eight. The next day at dinner, our usual supply of potatoes was stopped, and on inquiring of the mate for the reason, we were told it was on account of a letter abusing the Captain, which had been put into the I'luv tlun sent the steward for Shcppunl, who was forward. 11. coining into (ha cabin waa put in iron* withoutauy (Amble or resistance When lie.

The mate remarked to theCaptain —" lie will never siM-ak again." When the Captain said "there is one that one, and more, ami then we can manage thereat." I was was sick at the time with rheumatism.

Just three years have elapsed since an American sailor, the son of a Quaker,residing in New York, deposited the nun of fifty cents for the purpose of building a Sailors' Home in Honolulu. This was the first donation for the object, which has since called forth so many donations and enlisted so much sympathy. In depositing the money, he remarked, with a tearful eye and much earnestness, do, for mercy's sake, build a. Sailors' Home in Honolulu, and here is my donation. He saw and felt the need of such an establishment in this city. Previously there had been much discussion and fruitless efforts, but the time had come for action and labor, which should result in some definite plan of operation. Assembled upon the third anniversary of the organization of the Honolulu Sailors' " Home Society," the Executive Committee would offer the following report relating to the Society's proceedings during the past twelve months. pu thp second anniversary of the Society, IS.) 7 . the Home had been opened for a few weeks, furnished bedding and money tor furnishm;' and the somewhat hazardous experiment was each a room in the Home, and tiie names of being made whether success would crown the those towns were duly placed over the doors of efforts of the friends of the enterprise or fail- certain rooms.

The effect however of the Home in Honolulu, is similar to the effect of Homes in other cities and ports. The effect is gradually to elevate the character and rei.pectability ofother hoarding houses. In this way seamen are benefitted who never visit the establishment. We could mention houses in Honolulu quite comfortably fitted up for seamen, but such places did nor exist previous to the establishment and opening of the Home. As years roll away we expert to witness a gradual improvement in all the other houses. If the keepers of sailor boarding houses had always done riq-ht and treated seamen as they should, there would have been no necessity for calling upon the benevolent public to build and support " Homes." but as that necessity does exist.it is gratifying to witness a willingDen on the part of a generousand benevolent public to come forward and build for the acof seamen "Homes" vicing th the better class of hotels.

Among the Trustees at the meetings the Board, there has always been great inimity and cordiality in planning and SCUting the various schemes deemed neeesy for raising funds and expending the same. It is confidently believed that the plans and efforts of the Trustees have met withthecordial approval of both landsmen and seamen, it now remains for the Trustees to appeal for a sufficient amount of funds to pay off' the debt upon the Home. Our Treasurer has informed us that tho debt at present, is a rising $800—an amount which may try be easily paid off, with a little of the rt which has already been put forth in this good cause. It is hoped something may be done this evening, and more before the shipping season closes. The Executive Committee feel that they would be doing injustice to Mr. and Mrs. Thrum, Managers ol the Home, unless the most honorable testimony was borne to their conscientious and honorable fidelity to the best interests of the institution. To them belongs the honor of commanding and navigating the " craft," when she was once ready for sea, and the success of the institution thus far has essentially depended upon their careful and watchful management.

In coming to this determination, the Council, deeply sympathizing with both pastor and people, cannot forbear to express their heartfelt regret at being called upon to put an end to so important a connection, after the lapse of so brief a period from the time of its formation, and under circumstances of a nature to call forth feelings of Christian sorrow. The Council take pleasure in recommending Mr. Strong to their Christian brethren, wherever he may be led to sojourn, as an able and evangelical minister of the flospel. A. BISHOP, Moderator. F C.

VOLUX ME V. With the new year, we commence the fiifteenth volume of the Friend. It is the policy of many newspaper-publishers to alter, change, and (if their means will allow) enlarge the dimensions of their sheet, from year to year. Our plan has been to make as few changes as possible, but maintain the even tenor of our ways, furnishing our readers such an amount of useful and entertaining matter, as the state of our finances would allow. With the close of the year we rejoice to find the Friend out of debt! Would that all its readers could say as much! The generous response to our appeal enables us to announce this favorable state of our finances. All contributors have our sincere thanks, and our seafaring readers may rest assured that, in return, we shall scatter our little sheet broadcast over the ocean. Thinking it may not be uninteresting to some of our readers, we propose, during this year, to publish a series of articles upon Hawaiian Tfcse sketches, for the most the history of this people part, will previous to lIR, or the arrival of the missionaries. Since that period the history is full, but prior to that date comparatively little, is known, except what may be learned from the pages of Cook and Vancouver. We commence with " Campbell's residence on Oahu," 1809-1810. This is an old and rare volume, and the copy in our possession is the only one we have ever met with. Extmcts from other writers will appear in successive numbers of our paper. Re-OpoanihguC f ollege. We rejoice to announce that this institution will be again opened on Wednesday, the 13th inst. The return of President Beckwith, and his report, inspire the friends of the institution with the confident assurance that the ultimate success of the enterprise is morally certain. Although the financial difficulties at present existing in the United States, prevented the completion of the endowment, still the way is prepared for its future prosecution. In the mean time, the American Board of Commissioners assume the support of the institution. The new appointment of Mr. Dc Witt Alexander as a Professor in the College, meets with general favor. He is remembered as a promising, youthful student, and, while connected with. Vale College, acquired a most enviable reputation as a young man of ripe scholarship. His arrival' is anticipated by the next California vessel. Every friend of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the cause of learning and education must earnestly wish for the success of Oahu College. Its influence will be electing and ennobling upon our youth and the community. With the close of the year terminates "the engagement of Mr. Bicknell as Colporteur, under the patronage of the Hawaiian Tract Society. At a late meeting of the Society, he read an interesting repot of his labors. Having been brought into close contact with him, in efforts to do good among seamen, it affords us great pleasure to speak of his modest and unwearied labors to benefit his fellow-men. We understand that he is making arrangements to return to Marquesas and resume his self-denying labors among that people, whenever an opportunity occurs. The MjuTn of the Morniim Star, on or before /fie Ist of March, will probably afford the first opportunity. Mr. Bicknell has been publishing h small reading book in the Mar- \m Srits, M 15. quesan dialect, and has now in press the Gospel of John, which will be completed before his departure. "Nothing Venture, Nothing Have”— is an old saying, but occasionally verified in a remarkable manner. We recently saw n fine specimen of this year's crop of sugar from the Lihue plantation. It was beautiful, and the first fruits of a large crop. If ever a company of agriculturists deserved a fine crop as the reward of their labors and expenditure, it is surely the owners of that plantation. When it seemed as if failure was certain, on account of the want of rain, the idea was conceived of irrigation, and that by digging a trench eight or nine miles in length, I over country requiring many angles and curvitures ; but "nothing venture, nothing have" was the only principle that would work. It seemed to be the last hook to hang a hope upon." We are glad the hook did not give way ! The irrigation enterprise has succeeded beyond all expectation. Trre crop noubeing taken off, at present prices, will prove ample remuneration for the thousands expended in trenching. The success of the plantation depends almost entirely upon irrigation. Most heartily we congratulate the proprietors, but especially Messrs. Marshall " &Rfte. . We would call the attention of sailors advertisement respecting a Sailor's Home in San. Francisco. That a " Home " was needed there, is manifest from an account of the treatment of sailors, found in another part of our columns. We have often heaid sailors from San Francisco relate accounts of similar treatment. It is gratifying to lemm that the « Home " in San Francisco is well patronized. Success to the enterprise. to the Prof. George E. Beckwith, of the Sandwich Islands, received the honorary degree of A.

We passed the foot of Mouna-kaa, one of the highest mountains in the world. The sides are extremely steep, and although situated within the tropics, the summit is perpetually covered with snow; a narrow tract of level ground lies between the base of the mountain and the sea, terminating in high ; presenting at a distance a most On a nearer approach, Vwe could observe numerous patches of owj Bated land, and the lower parts of the mountain covered with wood. Farther to the west, the plains are of greater extent, the country well wooded, and in a high state of cultivation; with many villages and houses presenting every appearance of a numerous and industrious population. Mouna-roa, one of the mountains in the interior, is a volcano; a few years before this time a violent eruption took place, when it sent forth a stream of lava which ran into the sea. Isaac Davfc, with whom I afterwards resided, and who had gone in a canoe to witness it, informed me that where the lava joined the sea, the heat was so intense that he could not approach nearer than fifty yards. We did not see any flame or smoke issuing from the crater. We made sail in the evening, and reached • <8J Thk foregoing title-page fully indicates the content* of the book, from which the following paragraphs are copied. The date of the publication, (1819), shows that that volume was printed and circulated prior to the arrival of the first company of missionaries at these islands, in 1820. The book contains much valuable information respecting the condition of the Sandwich Islanders fifty years ago. This information is interesting, from the fact that the author resided for a period ofthirteen the following day. months on the island of Oahu, and most of Mowee Whilst running along the southeast side of that period in Honolulu. the island, several canoes came off with reThe author of the book is distinctlyremem- freshments.

Maccallum informed me that it was very fertile ; that provisions were abundant, and much cheaper than at either Owyhee or Wahoo. We weighed on the morning of the 29th, and passing between the islandfcof Morokai and Ranai, reached the harbor ojTlanaroom, on the south side of Wahoo, the same evening. A number of natives came off, as usual, the moment the ship hove in sight. King Tamaahmaah was in a large double canoe; on his coming alongside, he sent his interpreter on board to announce his arrival. The captain immediately went to the gangway to receive his majesty, and shook hands with him when he came upon deck. He was, on this occasion, dressed as a European, in a blue coat and gray pantaloons. Immediately on his coming aboard, the king entered into earnest conversation with the captain. Amongst other questions, he asked whether the ship was English or American. Being informed that she was Russian, he answered " Meitei, meitei," or, very good. A handsome scarlet cloak, edged and ornamented with ermine, was presented to him from the governor .of the Aleutian Islands. After trying it on, he gave it to his attendants to be taken on shore. I never saw him use it afterwards. In other canoes came Tamena, one of his queens, Crymakoo, his brother-in-law, and other chiefs of inferior rank. My appearance attracted the notice, and excited the compassion of the queen; and finding it was my intention to remain upon the islands, she invited me to take up my residence in her house. I gladly availed myself of this offer, at which she expressed much pleasure; it being a great object of ambition amongst the higher ranks to have white people to reside with them. When the ship was brought to anchor, she sent mc ashore in one of her canoes. Captain Hapemeister recommended me at the same time to the notice of the King, by informing him, that I could not only make and repair the sails of his vessels, but also weave the cloth of which they were made. The king assured him that I should be treated with the utmost kindness. It will be seen in the sequel how well he performed his promise. Upon landing I was much struck with the beauty and fertility of the country, so different from the barrenness of the Fox islands. The village of Hanaroora, which consists of several hundred houses, is well shaded with large cocoa-nut trees. The king's residence, built close upon the shore, and surrounded by a pallisade upon the land side, was distinguished by the British tokdfend a battery of sixteen carriage guns, IBknging to his this time lay ship , the Lilly Bird, unrigged in the harbor. This palace consisted merely of a range of huts, viz.: the king's eating-house, his sleeping-house, the queen's house, a store, powder-magazine, and guardhouse, with a few huts for the attendants, all constructed after the fashion of the country. At a short distance were two extensive store-houses, built of stone, which contained the European articles belonging to the king. I was conducted to the house occupied by �the two queens. It consisted of one large apartment, spread with mats; at one end of which the attendants of both sexes slept, and at the other the queens occasionallay slept when the king was in the morai. They and their attendants always eat here, and Tamena wished me to join them ; but as I had been informed by Crymakoo, that if I did so, I should not be allowed to eat with men, I resolved to decline her offer. The Neva remained in the harbor three months, during which time I ate my victuals on board. At the end of that period, having completed a cargo of provisions.consisting of salted pork and dried taroroot, she sailed for Kodiakand Kamschatka. I was then invited by the king to take my meals in his eating-house, and at the same time he desired a young American, of the name of William Moxely, a native ofNorfork in Virginia, who understood thelanguage, to eat along with me, to act as my interperter. The king's mode of life was very simple; he breakfasted at eight, dined at noon, and suppered at sunset. His principal chiefs being always about his person, there were generally twenty or thirty persons present; after being seated upon mats spread on the floor, at dinner a dish of poi, or taro pudding, was set before each of them, which they ate with their fingers, instead of spoons. This fare, with salt fish and consecrated pork from the morai, formed the whole of the repast, no other food being permitted in the king's house. A plate, knife and fork, with boiled potatoes, were, however, always set down before Moxely and me, by his majesty's orders. He concluded his meal by drinking half a glass of rum ; but the bottle was immediately sent away, the liquor being tabooed, or interdicted to his guests. The breakfast and supper consistediC fish and sweet potatoes. to the king's person, to his The house, and even to his food, formed a remarkable contrast to the simplicity of his mode of Iving. Whenever he passed, his subjects were obliged to uncover theirheads and shoulders. The same ceremony took place upon their entering, or even passing his residence; and every house which he entered was ever after honored with the same marks of respect. Once, when employed in the house of Issac Davis, making a loom for the king, I observed him passing, and being ignorant of this custom, requested him to enter and observe my progress ; but he declined doing so, informing me of the consequence. He, therefore, seated himself at the door, till I brought out mywork for his inspection. When his food was carrying from the cooking-house, every person within hearing of the call N.oho, or sit down, given by the bearers, was obliged to uncover himself, and squat down on his bßMis. This ceremav was particularly inconvenient when the water used in the king's house was carried past; there being none of a good quality near Hanaroora, it was necessary to bring it from the mountains, a distance offive miles. The calabash carriers were obliged, when any person appeared in sight, to call out Noho. They, however, ran past as quick as they could, not to detainhis majesty's subjects in so unpleasant an attitude. White people were not required to pay JANUARY, 1855. 3 IRE FRIEND, these honors, though scrupulously exacted from the natives. Tamaahmaah was most attentive in performing the duties of religion, and constantly attended the morai on the taboo days, which took place about four times eachmonth. The ceremonies lasted one day and two nights ; during which time no person was permitted to pass the bounds of the morai. ,^««W When the king was absent on sions, I did not experience the Hn as at other times ; theattendants becaß Jary remiss in providing my dinner, andiwas sometimes obliged to go without it altogether. I accompanied the king once to the morai; but not relishing the confinement, and being unwilling to make complaints, I removed, about the beginning of May, to the house of Isaac Davis, a Welshman, who had been about twenty years upon the island, and remained with him till the king gave me a grant of land about six months afterwards. Mr. Davis arrived at the Sandwich Islands as mate of a small American schooner. The captain, a very young man, having incautiously permitted the natives to go on board, without any restriction, a chief, of the name of Tamahmotoo, observing this, planned her capture. For which purpose a numberof natives, under various pretences, crowded into the vessel, and, upon a signal being given, threw the whole crew, five in number, into the sea. Davis, being an excellent swimmer, laid hold of one of the canoes, from which, however, he was beat off by paddles. He swam to another, where the natives also attempted to beat him off; but being a stout, athletic man, he was able to keep his hold. Having no arms, they attempted to put him to death, by holding him under the water, and beating him with their paddles; and also endeavored to strangle him, by placing his neck across one of the beams of the canoe, and trampling upon him. But by this time the rest of the crew having been, destroyed, and the schooner taken possessidri df, they relented, and ceased to torment him any farther. He was carried ashore blind, and almost lifeless, and it was eighteen months before he recovered his sight. He told me, that, before this time, he had never believed in the existence of God, and had led a very sinful life; that, upon the near prospect of death, the idea of his offencesfilled him with terror; and that he tried to repeat the Lord's Prayer, and felt himself strengthened after doing so. treated with much greater confidence than any of the native chiefs. Davis had extensive grants of land on several of the islands. Upon Wahoo alone he had estates on which were four or five hundred people, who cultivated the land, and paid him a rent in kind. These were exempted from the taxes paid by the other chiefs for their lands; but Davis frequently made the king presents of feather cloaks, and other valuable articles. He was married to a native woman, by whom he had no children. By a former wife he had three, two of whom were left under the charge of Mr. Young of Owhyhee. His house was distinguished from those of the natives only by the addition of a shed in front to keep off the sun; within, it was spread with mats, but had no furniture, except two benches to sit upon. He lived very much like the natives, and had acquired such a taste for poe, that he preferred it to any other food. We had, however, at all timea, abundance of pork, goat's flesh, and mutton, and frequently beef sent by Young from Owhyhee, and in the mornings and evenings we had tea. His wealth, consisting of mats, feathers and cloth, the produce of the island, and a large assortment of European articles, which he had acquired by trading with the ships that touched here ; these were contained in a large storehouse, built of stone, adjoining his dwelling. My first employment was to overhaul the sails of the king's vessels, and to repair such as were out of order. After working two or three months at this, he desired me to make island. These two constantly attached themselves to Tamaahmaah ; and, from their knowledge of fire-arms, proved of essential service in the expeditions in which he conquered Mowee, Morotoi and Wahoo. • They were rewarded, by being raised to the rank of chiefs, and received extensive grants of land. When Tamaahmaah removed to Wahoo, Davis accompanied him, and he left Young asgovernorofOwhyhee. These two healwav* The making of the loom, from want of assistance, and want of practice, proved a very tedious job. I succeeded tolesably well at last; and having procured a supply of thread, spun by the women from the fibres of the plant of which their fishing lines are made, I began my operations; After working a small piece, I took it to the long as a specimen. He approved of it in every respsetaxcept breadth, which was only about half a iyard, saying, he wished it mads wide snotigb some canvas. Having informed him that a loom was necessary, he ordered Boyd, his principal carpenter, to make one. This, however, Boyd by declined, from an illiberal many of the white people, that the natives should be taught nothing that would render them independent of strangers. He told the king he did not know how to make looms; upon which I undertook to make one myself; although, by so doing, I incurred the displeasure of many of my countrymen. Davis had a native servant called worked as a tailor, and was a very hsJdy fellow. This man showed much anxiety to pbserve how I proceeded; but his master told me by no means to allow him, as he was so quick he would soon learn to make a loom himself. When I said I had no wish to makeit a secret, he replied, that if the natives could weave cloth, and supply themselves, ships would Tamaahmaah, who was at a distant part have no encouragement to call at the islands. qf*the island, was extremely indignant at Another instance of this narrow way of thinkTamahmotoo when he heard of this outrage. ing occurred, when a brother of the queen's, fie took the vessel from him for the pur- whose name I do not remember, but who was pose of restoring her to her owners, and usually called by the white people, John showed the utmostkindness to Davis.

Soon after, the adjutancy of the corps became vacant, and Lieutenant Havelock was a candidate for it, and very strenuous efforts were made to prevent his nomination. Mrs. Havelock, who happened to be at Serampore, the regiment being then in the North West, waited on Lord William to solicit the appointment. He said he could not give a reply till the next day. On her calling a second time, he said he had intermediately sent for a«bundle of letters about her husband from Calcutta. They are all hostile to him, but before I read 'them to you I will tell you that I have determined to give the adjutancy to your husband, because he is one of the best officers in Her Majesty's service. I will also show you the reply to these attacks in the return which I ordered, of the state of the company, and I find that there is less drunkenness, less flogging, less imprisonment than in any other;' and then alluding, facetiously, to one of the charges brought against him, said, Go and tell Lieutenant Havelock, with my compliments, that I wish he could make Baptists of the whole army.'" , Bible was not admitted, and the books were uot permitted to contain anything of a religious clmra.-ter. Had they been less fearful of making Christians, they would not have had now to defend themselves against barbarians." , Napier's Opinion of India, 1850.—The army of Bengal, the chief seat of the mutiny, is composed of high caste Brahmins, with their religious dogmas, prejudices and ideas of personal and social superiority. The comparatively tranquil armies of Madras and Bombay are, so to say, of a democratic and less exclusive character. Upon this very subject Sir Charles Napier wrote in 1860:— "The greatest danger in the Indian army is the spirit of caste. In all revolts the Brahmins are the ringleaders." " The system people havehere is to crush the plebeian and to protect the aristocrat who is our mortal enemy. He is our enemy because we take his place; he descends in the social scale, and his head is under our feet. The people if we were to ruin them, are still our friends. On them we must reckon to preserve India.' No one can predict the final result of our conquest; but if we extend our hand to the people, India is ours for centuries to come. Justice, rigorous, severe justice, would work miracles ; it has its basis in the natural desire of men for protection against cruelty, and its foundations are immutable. India would be assured were it thus governed ; but in the the manner we conductourselves there, I am astounded at our keeping it for a single year." In like manner General Jacob denounces the maintenance of caste in the Bengal army, as fomenting mutinous tendencies and bringing in a body of men who care more about their Defense of the India Missionaries. observances of caste prejudices than religious When the mutiny broke out, there were military duty. about their some who were ready to charge the trouble Nena Sahib.—We have read with great upon the missionaries.

That looks as if England were about to do her whole duty to her Empire in the Enst. The Christian principle of that noble, English people has been roused by the discovery of the oft-repeated fact that India has been kept in heathenism by the anti-Christian policy of the Company* and now that the truth has burst upon the public mind, with the roar of the insurrection, the churches of England are rising in their might, demanding an instant change of policy, and preparing to execute on a grand scale the work of evangelizing that benighted land. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel are talking about erecting memorial churches at Delhi and Cawnpore. The Rev. Henry Christopherson, of St. Johns-wood, writes to the London Times to insist that the "memorial" church at Cawnpore should be national, and not erected by an exclusive Society like that for the propagation of the Gospel. The Error in India.—Cardinal Wiseman has been discoursing on India at Salford. On Sunday morning week he made it the theme of a sermon preached at St. John's India." It is necessary that we should read and study past events, and see if we have been governing this nation justly and righteously, as became a Christian people." India's Future. Messrs. Collier and White, the members of Parliament for Plymouth, met their constituents on Monday. The chief topic of observation was, of course, the state of India.

It had been obtained hap-hazard ; it had been used as a digging for the extraction of so much gold ; it had been used to make fortunes, and there had been an immense amount of jobbery and corruption.

Burns being in church one Sunday, and having some difficulty in procuring a seat, a young lady, who perceived him, kindly made room for him in her own pew. The sermon was on the penalties pronounced in the Scriptures upon sinners, and the preacher quoted several passages to enforce his point, to which the lady seemed particularly attentive and somewhat agitated. Burns, on perceiving this, wrote with a pencil on the leaf of a Bible the following lines: youneed not take the hint, " FairNormaid, Idle text pursue i Twas only sinners that he meant.

FEBEUARY 1, 1838 “MORNING STAR.” Just as our paper was going to press, the Morning Star made ils appearance, and we hasten to make a brief report of her successful cruise among the islands of Micronesia. She has been absent about a few days less than six mouths. During her absence she has visited the following islands : Arrived at Strong's Island Sept. 8, and left on the 15th for Ascension, touching at Duperry's. Arrived at Ascension Sept. 23, and there remained 24 days, visiting the different harbors. Left on the 17th, bringing away the wife of Dr. Guliek and children, together with the Rev. Mr. Doane and family. Touching at Duperry's and Mr. Askill's, and reaching Strong's Island the 28th of October, she proceeded to Covel's, or Boston Island, the most southern of the Ralick group, lying N. lat. 4 ° 34, E. long. 168 ° 45—there it was determined to establish a new Mission Station. She then proceeded to Apian, (or Apia or Charlotte's) where another Station was taken, at which the Rev. H. Bingham is located. Remaining a few days at Apian, until a house was fitted up for Mr. Bingham, she then returned to Covel's Island to locate Messrs. Doane and Pierson, with their families. Although reports had been unfavorable, in regard to tho natives of Covel's Island, representing them fierce and treacherous, yet they were found mild, and extremely desirous of having missionaries located among them. While passing through the Ralick group, a new island was discovered, not found as laid down upon any chart. It was less than two miles in circumference, and contained twentythree inhabitants. Its position was N. lat. 8° 15, E. long. 167° 28. The cruise of the Morning Star has been quite successful, and her return a month earlier than was anticipated. We regret that our limits do not allow us to make a more full report. Information Obtained.—In 1851,or seven years ago, we received a letterfrom Mr. J. F. of New Salem, Mass., making enquiry for bi» son, W. F., who had been absent five years. As customary we advertised for the long-lost son. Greatly to our surprise the last mail brought a letter from him, dated " Portland, Oregon Territory." We hope the boy absenting himself thirteen years from home will take the earliest opportunity to return or communicate with his friends. The Day of Humiliation, October 7th. This day was set apart for solemnreligious services, in all the churches of England, on account of the India troubles. Judging from the tenor of the newspapers, the day was kept in a most becoming manner, and worthy of a Christian people. The London Evening Mail, and Weekly Times, of Oct. 7th and 9th, furnishe reports of one hundred and twenty sermons, preached in various churches on that solemn day. The largest assembly gathered at the Crystal Palace, to listen to Kiel 21:27. Read also the Hook of Daniel and Book of Revelation.

" If our limits would allow, we might extend this exhibition of important facts in regard to India. Interests are at stake, which lie vastly deeper than those of the East India Company. Politicians and statesmen may have their schemes to accomplish and their ends to promote, but they should remember that God reigns! Bancroft, the historian, has beautifully expressed the correct idea upon this subject : "It is when the hour of conflict is over, that history comes to a right understanding of the strife, and is ready to exclaim " Lo! God is here, and we knew it not.' At the foot of every page in the annals of nations may be written, 'God reigns.' Events, as they pass away, ' proclaim their Original:' and if you will but listen reverently, you may hear the receding centuries, as they roll into the dim distances of departed time, perpetually chanting 'Te Deum Laudamus,' with all the choral voices of the countless congregation nf the i<je." : �13 News from “Isles of the South.” From letters recently received by the French man-of-war, Alcibiade, we learn several interesting items of intelligence.

Hereafter, when the report is spread abroad that a trading vessel has been seized and the crew cut off, for the credit of white men concerned, an inquiry had better never be instituted, why was it done ? or what was the cause ? We blush for humanity when facts are told us respecting the doings of men from professedly Christian lands. We hope those traversing the ocean will fully understand this fact, that the world is very differently constituted from what it was a few years ago. It now has no dark corners ! The light of public opinion may now be brought to bear upon the remotest spots upon the globe ! News from the remotest parts of the Pacific may, in a few days, be published in the newspapers of London and New York. O, ye, who would make soldiers, scholars, philosophers and scientific men of the heathen, before Christianizing them, we commend to your careful perusal Cardinal Wiseman's remarks, found in another column. Please read what a Catholic considers " the error in India." Protestants think the same —and because they have thought so, some have denounced them as fanatics. The wouldbe-wise men, and political schemers of this world are obliged to learn some truths by terribly dear-bought experience. The infidels and Athiests ofFrance once voted the Sabbath out of existence, and bowed before ,the goddess of Reason, but after they had butchered one another for a few years, a wiser and less infidel generation was glad to allow in theory, at least, that it was best to restore the Sabbath to the people. Thus wrote the poet, and the truth of the sentiment was happily verified during the late cruise of the Morning Star. On approaching a savage island, the inhabitants came off in large numbers singing and chanting their wild songs, and otherwise demonstrating that they were Nature's untutored sons and daughters. The deck of the vessel was filled with natives. While these wild scenes were going forward, Mrs. Snow, Mrs. Bingham and Mrs. Gulick seated on the On the arrival of the Morning Star quarter deck, commenced singing at Covel's Island, inhabited by savages,it was is a happy land, discovered that they had in safe keeping let" There Far, far away," &c. ters for Dr. Pierson, which had been forThe effect was instantaneous and most pleaswarded by whaleship Norman, from Honoing.

CAMPBELL'S RESIDENCE ON OAHU, 1809-1810. [Coutlnucdl During the time I resided with Dsvif, Terremytee, the king's brother, died. His body lay in state for a few days, in the morai; and was afterwards buried, according to custom, in a secret manner. The public mourning that took place on this occasion was of so extraordinary a nature, that, had I not been an eye-witness, I could not have given credit to it. The natives cut off their hair, and went about completely naked. Many of them, particularly the women, disfigured themselves by knocking out their front teeth, and branding their faces with red hot stones, and the small end of calabashes, which they held burning to their faces till a circular mark was produced; whilst, at the same time, a general, I believe I may say an universal, public prostitution of the women took place. The queens and the widow of the deceased alone exempted. When the captain of a ship that lay in the harbor remonstrated with the king upon these disgraceful scenes, he answered that such was the law, and he could not prevent them. About this time an immense water-spout broke in the harbor. It was first observed in the south, about noon. The day was fine, with a clear atmosphere, and nearly calm. When I saw it first, it appeared about the thickness of a ship's mast, reaching from the sea to a heavy dark cloud that hung immediately over it. It approached slowly, the cloud gradually increasing in size. When it came near, we could observe the water ascending in a spiral direction, and the sea round its base boiling up in great agitation. At this time it seemed about the thickness of a hogshead. The tide was fortunately out; and upon crossing the reef, about an hour after its first appearance, the column broke, and such a mass of water fell, that the sea in the harbor was raised at least three feet upon the beach. No squall was experienced, nor did any rain fall. Hundreds of dead fish were picked up upon the reef, and along shore after it broke. I have seen several water-spouts at sea, and one that was nearly on board the ship in which I was, but none of them at all equal in magnitude to this. The natives quitted their houses, and fled with the utmost precipitation in a direction opposite to that in which it approached. I was informed, that a few years before, one had broken on the north side 0 f the island, by which a number of houses were washed away and many people drowned. In the month of November, the king was pleased to grant me about sixty acres of land, situated upon the Wymummee, or Pearlwater, an inlet of the sea about twelve miles to the west of Hanaroora. I immediately removed thither; and it being Macaheite time, during which canoes are tabooed, I was carried on men's shoulders. We passed by foot-paths, winding through an extensive and fertile plain, the whole of which is in the highest state of cultivation. Every stream was carefully embanked, to supply water for the taro beds. Where there was no water, the land was under crops of yams and sweet potatoes. The roads and numerous houses are shaded by cocoa-nut trees, nnd the sides �14 IHE llilLMl. lEBKU..KY. 1858. of the mountains covered with wood to a other people never do it so well as he could is open to the south one-half of the compass, and there being no channel, ships are obliged great height We- halted two or three times, himself.

A new, strange and unlooked-for chapter is just now opening in the history of this little vessel of world-wide fame. It will be easy to state the simple facts as they now appear, but not so easy to make known the causes, or predict the results. The vessel returned a few days since from a most successful cruise among the Microuesian Islands, under the command of Captain Moore, who has been her commander ever since she sailed from Boston. On her arrival, arrangements were immediately commenced to fit her out for her second trip to Marquesas. Her freight was partly on board. She was to have sailed last week, and doubtless would have now been on ber voyage, but for the long prevalence of southerly and contrary winds, which have detained several other vessels in port. While thus hanging, as it were, by her hawser, and awaiting the order to cast off," a mail arrives from the United States, bringing positive and peremptory orders for her commander to resign and proceed immediately to Boston, and for the vessel to be detained until a new commander shall be sent out, the agents here not being allowed any discretionary power in the premises. The proper course, in such cases, is of course to follow the old sea-going maxim, ■' Obey orders, if you break owners." Events so unlocked for and surprising, at first rather bewilder the mind. The removal of a commander is an uncommon event, but even that would not have appeared so strange if Captain Moore had acquired a doubtful reputation, or was regarded in this quarter of the world as incompetent to discharge the responsible duties of a shipmaster ; whereas the very reverse is the fact, and he now enjoys a reputation which any shipmaster might envy. He has shown himself an able,careful, intelligent and most trustworthy oommander, most admirably suited and qualified for the peculiarly trying, perplexing, delicate and responsible position which " he has been called to occupy tor the last fifteen months, but from which he is now suddenly set aside. Before finishing our remarks, we shall endeavor to ■how that these are not mere assertions. As yet the public has not been informed in regard to tbe cause or causes, and of course we have no remarks to make thereon. We know not what rumors or reports may have reached the ears of the Prudential Committee, or what documents and letters may haTe been transmitted thither, hence we shall only write about what we know to be facts. Captain Moore arrived at the islands in April of last year, as the world has been informed. Sinoe that time he has commanded the Morning Star on one trip to the Marquesas and another to Micronesia. On her return from the Marquesas, in July, tbe Directors of the Hawaiian Missionary Society were highly pleased with the ability which Captain Moore had displayed. The Directors* (some of whom are gentlemen eminently qualified to judge in such mat* ters) passed a vote of approval of Captain Moore's conduct as a oommander. The vessel soon sailed for Micronesia, and, after an absence of six months, returned, having made one of the most interesting, important and successful cruises in the annals of Missions to Polynesia. During these two trips, the anchor of the Morning Star has been dropped nearly thirty different times—six at Marquesas, fifteen at Micronesia, and six or seven times in different ports of the Sandwich Islands. In a majority of these places, Captain Moore was an entire stranger to tbe navigation, and was obliged to be his own pilot. While the vessel was cruising in Micronesia, a new island waa discovered by Captain Moore, and its position ascertained ,- the lagoon at Covel's Island was surveyed, and the vessel anchored where no foreign vessel ever before entered ; at Apia, where Wilkes asserts there is but one passage into the lagoon, tbe Morning Star entered at one passage and left at During these various cruises, Captain another. Moore has kept a minute journal, noting down with j care incidents and facts observed with the eye of a careful and intelligent navigator—winds and curj rents are described—islands, reefs and shoals ascertamed and compared with former explorers—manners and habits of the inhabitants observed. It was our privilege to hear Captain Moore's Journal read, on his first arrival from Micronesia, and it is merely justice to say that it reflected the highest credit upon him as a navigator. It was accompanied with seven- I ' I are among those gentlemen belonging to the * Theoffollowing Directors i Associate JusticeRobertson, of the Supreme Board Court -, Dr. Judd Mr. Ooodale.

IS teen sketches of harbors, reefit, islands and lagoons. Portions, at least, of thin journal we shall hope to sew published. In retiring from the command of the Morning Star, it must be highly gratifying to Capt. Moore that he leaves her in complete trim and " shipshape" order. His ollicersand crew have uniformly given him a good name and pronounced him an excellent seaman, dipt. Oulick, who is the part owner of two vessels running among the islands, and who sailed in the Morning Star as 2d mate during her late cruise, bears the most unequivocal testimony respecting Capt. Moore's abilities as a oommander. The Rev. P. J. Oulick, late Delegate to Micronesia, who was a passenger to and fro, unites in the testimony of his son. Before closing our remarks, it becomes us to say a few words respecting the difficulty and perplexity of commanding a vessel with so many owners," and conveying American and Hawaiian Missionaries, together with their goods. We are bold to assert that. in this respect Captain Moore is a model oaptain! We would merely add, that we hope no insurance office will ever incur rißks upon the Morning Star with a less competeut Master, or the Prudential Committee of the American Board make choice of a less modest, reliable, efficient and trustworthy Commander.

BY L.H.GULICK, M.D. There are only three specimens ol indigenous mammalia : 1. A small dog, not more than eighteen inches in height and proportionate length. Its hair is long and sleek, its ears short and erect. The posterior hairs of the tail as it curves upwards are peculiarly long, which gives it a quite bushy appearance. It is a sprightly, but unintellectual variety, worth little save as a companion and as food for a degraded race of humans, and as furnishing retreat for the lice their masters deem such a luxury. 2. Rats. The variety here found is a peculiarly disgusting specimen, and is very numerously represented. They are very des- tructive in gardens,rooting up the seeds of all leguminous plants, and even devouring young chickens, and attacking setting hens. 3. Bats. The natives distinguish two varieties, a large and a small; but lam not satisfied that the cause of difference is anything but age. The largest individuals will measure eighteen inches from tip to tip. Whales and porpoises are comparatively numerous in the surrounding seas. Of Birds there are twenty nine or thirty species. They are distributed probably in the following proportions among the different orders as classified by Swainson. 1. Of the Rapacious birds, one species, a small owl. 2. Of the Perchers, fourteen or fifteen species. The notched-bills (Dentirostrial) number 11 or 12 species. I do not know of any conicbilled, nor any suctorial birds. There are two swallow-like birds, a kingfisher, and a nightjar, and one climber, a, small parrot. 3. Of the swimmers, there are six species— one that may be a sea-duck, the rest gulls, one of which is the tropic-bird (phaeton). 4. Of the waders, one plover, one sandpiper. 5. Of the gallinaceous birds, two pigeons, the ptilinopus cyenovireus and the carophaga oceanica, ana a small, partially domesticted, fowl. The numberof individual Reptiles is great, though confined to a few species. At least two species of turtle are found in our waters, the green turtle and the hawk-billed turtle. They visit the uninhabited ant group to deposit their eggs. The. so-called tortoise-shell forms an export of some value. There are several species of lizards, and these constitute the main body of the island reptilia. We have one variety of what I suppose may be an iguana, and also a species of gecko. I need scarcely remark that the varieties of fishes are very numerous—and more than this I will not attempt to report. A freshwater eel is an object of great veneration and fear. A species of harmless shark is very abundant. A large stingray (probably a trygon) frequents the coral flats, and is the occasion of much fear to wading fishermen. Insects are somewhat numerous, but are probably distributed through a comparatively small number of genera. Cockroaches and dragon flies are the largest insects we have. One species of small white ant is a source of some trouble. There are six or more kinds of true ants, that are not of the most intrusive and destructive kinds. The cosmopolitan horse-flies and fleas are found, but are not troublesomely numerous. Mosquitoes are bred by myriads in our swamps. Of the arachuida I can only say that a few varieties of spiders are found, one only however of any importance, whose feet, when expanded, cover a space of three inches diameter ; and that a small scorpion is occasionally seen, but is not at all feared. The cbustacea are a very interesting portion of our animated kingdom. We have a large delicious crawfish, and a great number of marine crabs, one of which is truly gigantic, its claws being often each ten inches in length, and the longest diameter of its carapace seven inches. A small crab burrows by myriads in the sandy shores, over which the tides ebb and flow. There are several kinds of land crabs. The species of hermit crabs (pagurians), in particular, must be numerous. They are the most interested spectators of our conchological cabinets. In our open houses and rude cases they have free access to our shells, and may almost any time be heard rattlingaround among them. They bring their worn-out habitations, and deposit them in exchange for some of our finest specimens. On a moon-light night they may often befound congregated by scores in our unfloored outhouses. On the neighboring low group of Ant, there is found what I think must be a species of birgus, said to climb cocoanut trees and husk the nuts. Large crabs burrow in clayey soils, and may sometimes even be heard scrambling in our houses. They form delicious morsels. I know of but one kind of fresh-water shrimp. The mollusca are numerous, and attractive, but it is little I can, as yet, report concerning them. Without having done more than induce the natives to collect for me, I have on my shelves about one hundred species. A small squid is enten by the natives. One species of nautilus is drifted on shore always in a mutilated condition. The natives suppose it to be a fallen star! Of the gasteropoda, Edwards order Posobranchiata, I am able to recognize the following genera, besides which there are several, that, with my present knowledge and appliances I cannot determine :—Stromb (strombus); several species of scorpion-shell (pteroceras); frog-shell (re- nella); triton ; spindle-shell (fusus); augershell (terabra); dog-whelk (nassa); at least two species of helmet-shell (cassis); three or four of the tun (dolicem); harp-shell; olive or riceshell; eight or ten species of cones (conus); several ofmitre-shell (mitra); fifteen or twenty of cowries (cyprea), among which are orange cowry, the map cowry, and the money cowry, that have been taken to the East India markets ; ovulum ; sigaretus ; cerithium; nerite (nerita); trochus; and ear-shell (haliotis). lam surprised that as yet I have discovered but six or seven of the terrestrial pulmoufera. Of the conchifera or bivalves, I have fifteen or twenty varieties. Of the hadiata I only know that our waters are alive with them. Twelve or fifteen species of the biche dc mer (holuthuria) are found, though the varieties most valued in China ore comparatively scarce. Biche dc mer has several times been cured here by foreigners for the Hongkong market. Ascension Island, Pacific Ocean, ) September —, 1857. \ Rev. Mb. Damon— Dear Sir .-—lt is now five years since our mission company first arrived on this island. In our missionary work we have nothing seriously to discourage ; on the contrary, very much to encourage. The natives pay us increasing attention and respect. Many of them feel, and readily acknowledge we are their friends, which is a great step gained. There is a gradually increasing number who receive our religious instructions with attention and interest. Several chiefs are willing to be considered in some respects on the Christian side, though, in truth, we have no good evidences that any of them are true Christians. We have as much labor as we can well perform on Sabbaths, traveling about to meet our many small congregations. Since the first of January we have printed thirty-two small pages of " First Lessons and Hymns" in Ponapean, and a number of our pupils have read the whole. The total of our printing amounts to about 8000 pages. We have, in the Metalanim tribe, about a hundred scholars who are learning to read and write. Several can already write almost everything they attempt in their own language. Strangers coming here may not be able yet to see much change, but we, who are constantly here, feel the great bog of heathenism is being filled up beneath us, though the process has not even reached thevisible surface. It may be sometime before we can report anything wonderful or glorious, but by scriptural patience and by a proper enlisting of Him who alone has all power, that day will yet come. We estimnte the native population at about 5000. The foreign residents, independent ofmissionaries, vary from 25 to 30. I have no sympathy with many of their �habits and methods, yet whatever character Ascension Island whites may in past years have had, it is but simple justice for me to say that the most of these pilots and traders deal as fairly for ships as men in like positions in most parts of the world. Though our efforts at enlightening the natives, and the consequent effects it has in teaching the natives to trade for themselves with ships tends to interfere with the monopoly the white men have for long years enjoyed, several of them are willing to have us teach their own wives and dependents. In the Kiti tribe ships may now, if they choose, trade directly with the natives, and this is also fast becoming true in the Metalanim tribe. As fast as this is effected the true interests of natives, and foreigners and ships will be subserved. It may not be amiss to state that wood now «>ells for from six to ten pounds of tobacco a whale-boat load or cord ; that is, from $1 50 to $2 50, for tobacco can now be readily purchased every shipping season at 25 cents a pound. Yams stand at the uniform price of six pounds a barrel, which is equivalent to SI 50 cash. There is no charge for water, though some one usually, if not always, takes the job of filling the casks, for which there is a slight charge. The other recruits for ships are about as in other years. Pigs and fowls are scarce. Wood and water and pigeons plenty ; and pretty good yams are plenty in the early part of the season, or if too many ships do not call for them. Bananas are usually abundant. Pine apples are now comparatively numerous, especially in the northern summer when they ripen. Pawpaws are very numerous, and very fine both ripe and green, as a fruit and as a vegetable. Fish can sometimes be procured in considerable quantities. Deserters will generally be secured if the ship can delay two or three days, even if they escape into other tribes. The bounty for securing deserters should not, and need not, exceed $10, or at the utmost $15, though some captains have very unnecessarily offered as high as $200.* The weather and lee tribes (Metalanim and Kiti) furnish about equally good and cheap recruits. In the lee tribe one chief alone receives presents; in the weather tribe, which is sometimes a little bothersome, though if a captain be uniformly friendly and straightforward, there is no great trouble. Ships are equally safe from depredations in either tribe, though a captain, here, as elsewhere, must be properly watchful. No more, perhaps not so many, accidents have happened in the least commodious "Middle Harbor" (Ponatik) than in any other. The charge for pilotage is twenty dollars. It may interest some to hear that the orange, tamarind, shaddock and coffee are being successfully introduced, and will, ere long, become plenty. lam happy to acknowledge several large seed-cocoanuts from St. David's Island, by Captain Akin. Nutmeg seeds from Captains Akin and J. L. Smith have lost their vitality, and will not grow, to my great sorrow, for Ascension Island might readily rival "the Spice Islands!"

THE FRIEND, MARCH, sea and land, and many weary days and months will have to go by before you can come to see us all at Chester Creek and dear Rockdale, but in one minute you can feel yourself near to God by praying io Him, and we can feel ourselves near to Him in the same way; and thus, by prayer, and in God who holds us every one in the hollow of His hand, we can always be near each other. Strive then to pray very frequently, at least a short prayer, to God every morning and evening to keep you from evil, and to guide you into everything thatis good. I hope, my dear boy, that you have a Bible. Howl wish that you would spend many on hour of the long twenty-eight months you spoke of in your letter, in reading that blessed book.

Perhaps far more would you learn than if you were in your old home now coming Sunday after Sunday to school, but never thinking seriously of your great privileges and opportunities. We would have been very glad to have seen you on Saturday last, which was the 4th of July, with your old school-mates at the celebration we had in the woods back of the parsonage. The children and people enjoyed themselves very much, and it turned out a happy day for us all. Ido hope God will bless you and keep you ever under His protection, and bring you back to Rockdale a wise and good man. And whatever changes may take place between this and then, may you find us all endeavoring to please God, and to do good, or to hear of us taken to a better world than this.

Honolulu The undersigned have been authorized by the Trustees to make an appeal for funds to pay off the debts of the Institution. Thus far, their efforts have been attended with the most gratifying success. The Trustees, before making this appeal, have contributed I nearly $500 to meet the present demand. Below will be found a statement of the. finances of the Home. At a late meeting of the Board of Trustees a resolution was unanimously passed approving of Mr. and Mrs. Thrum as managers of j the Home. They have secured the confi- , I dence of tbe community. In making this appeal, the Trustees desire it to be distinctly understood that the full amount of all liability has been incurred for good and substantial improvements. The Trustees, by first "putting their hands in their own pockets," before appealing to the desire to evince their entire concommunity, i | fidence in the success, usefulness and importI ance of the Institution. For the Trustees to have paid oft'the entire debt, withoutallowing j the benevolent, elsewhere, to have enjoyed the privilege of contributing their share in the good undertaking would have have hardly modest, to say the least! , seemed I Subscriptions will be most thankfully received, and duly acknowledged.

We are also happy to learn that children connected with the Native Sabbath Schools design purchasing another boat, to be called the " Araai." Both boats are much needed to facilitate the interests of the Marquesan mission.

At a late meeting of the Directors of the Hawaiian Missionary Society, a committee was chosen to procure a vessel to convey the missionaries and their goods to Marquesas, inasmuch as there is much doubt whether it will be possible, under present prospects, to employ the Morning Star for that purpose before she is required to proceed to the westward. If a suitable vessel could be chartered, the Directors would immediately invite Capt. Moore to take command. • HawinOldenburg Hawi n AmericanHwain American s-LAO.

We would call the attention of our readers to the valuable Tables published in the present issue of our paper. It is exceedingly gratifying to learn that the whaling business is increasing from this port. Unless some unforeseen accident attend the fleet during the coming season, other vessels will be, unquestionably, added. We would call the attention of our benevolent readers to the appeal made by the Trustees of the Sailors' Home. It is highly desirable to pay off the existing debt, and hereafter keep the institution entirely free from debt. The example of the Trustees to take the lead in the matter must surely commend the cause to all right-minded and candid persons. The Library of the Sailors' Home has Note.—ln'the Exports of 1866, the Collector does been properly arranged and labelled.

" matter and There is now in course of construction, at the Southwark Iron Works, a small steamship, built of iron upon a new principle, which thebuilders believe; will accomplish an average speed of 26 to 80 miles an hour. The invention, for which a patent has been obtained, is intended to be applied to special transit vessels only, and is not suitable to river steamers, or other vessels intended to be used where the water is shallow or the channels uncertain. Should the expectations of the builders be realised, a vessel built and fitted in tbe manner proposed, can mains the voyage from Liverpool to New York in five days, or from Liverpool to Melbourne in forty days. The novelty of the invention consists, for the most part, in constructing tbe vessels so that the centre of gravity is plaoed below tbe water line. This is effected by constructing a chamber called a well" all along the bottom of the vessel, in which the machinery, coals and stores can be deposited. As it is not proposed that the vessels shall carry cargo, the cenetr of gravity will become a suspended instead of a supported body; and it is believed that this peculiar formation will decrease the arena of resistance to the water. The sides of the vessel rise perpendicularly from the well; and although the appearance of the vessel at present is anything but graceful, the patentee is of opinion that her form is constructed so as to secure the greatest amount of speed compatible with safety. The trial vessel, which will be ready for launching in a few days, is of sixty tone burthen, and when fitted with her engines and stores, will weigh only 140 tons. She is formed of plate Iron, one-eighth of an inch thick with angle irons an inch and half thick, and ribs fifteen inches apart. The inventor proposes to take her to New York, when finished. There can be no doubt that light iron steamers, without cargo and driven by high pressure engines, can attain very great speed m passing through water, but it would be premature to assert that the vessel now building, will realise all the anticipations which thnshuilders have formed of her powers.

I do not recollect having seen any were many hundreds of cattle running wild, who knew more than the letters of the aland several in a domestic state. The king phabet. 1809-1810. had introduced the breed into Wahoo; and at the time I was there he had a herd of nine or ten upon the north side of the island. Sheep and goats are already very numerous. Several had large flocks of them. The queen had one, consisting of about one hundred and fifty ; and Manina had several hundreds on the island in Pearl individuals River. The king had five horses, of which he was very fond, and used frequently to go out on horseback. I was informed there were still more at Owhyhee. The cattle lately introduced are pastured upon the hills, and those parts of the country not under cultivation, the fences not being sufficient to confine them. The hogs are kept in pens, and fed on taro leaves, sugarcanes, and garbage. The chiels are the proprietors of the soil, and let the land in small farms to the lower class, who pay them a rent in kind, generally pigs, cloth, or mats, at four terms in the year. At one time during my stay, there were nearly sixty white people upon VVahoo alone; but the number was constantly varying, and was considerably diminished before my departure. Although the great majority had been left by American vessels, not above onethird of them belonged to that nation ; the rest were almost all English, and of these six or eight were convicts, who had made their escape from New South Wales. Many inducements are held out to sailois to remain here. If they conduct themselves with propriety, they rank as chiefs and are entitled to all the privileges of the order ; at all events, they are certain of being maintained by some of the chiefs, who are always anxious to have white people about them. The king has a considerable number in his service, chiefly carpenters, joiners, masons, blacksmiths, and bricklayers; these he rewards liberally with grants of land. Some of these people are sober and industrious; but this is far from being their general character; on the contrary, many of them are idle and dissolute, getting drunk whenever an opportunity presents itself. They have introduced distillation into the island; and the evil consequences, both to the natives and whites, are incalculable. It is no uncommon sight to see a party of them broach a small cask of spirits, and sit drinking for days till they see it out. There are, however, a few exceptions to this. William Davis, a Welshman, who resided with Isaac Davis, used to rise every morning at five, and go to his fields, where he commonly remained till the same hour in the evening. This singularity puzzled the natives not a little; but they accounted for it, by supposing that he had been one of their own countrymen, who had gone to Caheite, or England, after hia death, and had now come back to his native land. There were no missiojaaries upon the island during the time I Umained in it, at which I was often much surprised. �THE FRIEND, MARINE JOURNAL. MARCH. , 1858.
