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. In a letter dated Au<_r 16, she thus refers to the . — circumstances i If you had known that dear boy, you would have all idea of our loss, in one of his letters while on the (lorn/ Return, he says : Mother, I know that you would like to know how I spend my Sabbaths.'

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.

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. ..

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."

Damon— Dear Sir: In the last number of the Friend, (of September 26th,) we have seen an appeal in behalf of the Friend and Bethel, in which we notice Present debt on Bethel, the sum of $1000 is required to pay debts which have been incurred for these objects. 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>.

I disposed of them" by landing them singly, upon the shores of Mercury Bay, at my first available opportunity. Up to the time of my landing them,,I took great pains to inform every master in wbossj vicinage 1 came, of the atrocity of their character and depredations on board my ship .and almost invariably requested not to land them in ly, as they might again get together on board some one ship and make further trouble. Vet but n little time had elapsed after my landing them before they were taken off and shipped as the best of men by the Harmony, of Honolulu, and the Mary, of lidgartown—but not until after they had made many applications to other vessels, commanded by masters of too much principle to exalt villainy, and of too well balanced faculties of benevolence to give their sympathy to charactci-s SO depraved. Lot me take this occasion to briefly and publicly express my thanks to Capt. Palmer, in the name of ihe community upon which these men are to be thrown, for having declined to take passengers to the islands" when one of these men applied to him. My warmest approbation for the manly views of < 'apt. Babcoek, when he indignantly expelled two of these intruders from the 7f«/t/, and reprimanded the Harmony's officers for their audacity in bringing them there. And also my gratitude for the spirited indignation expressed against the conduct of the upholders of these abandoned mutineers by most of the masters in the adjacent fleet; among which 1 would mention Captains t'ox, Wilcox, Morrison, Tober, Skinner, and others, with whose honest judgment and free s|wken views may I always be arraigned by approved of. while I exult over the condemnation ie waist to inform them what tkepi » : " .

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 at once proceeded to take the irons from Sheppard ami laid him on a chest, the blood running in a stream to theleewant side of the ship. 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. Being sent for, I went into thecabin and found Capt. Newell sluing at the table, apparently very calm and collected.

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.

" When he returned to regimental duty, he continued to attend to the religious and moral wants of his company with conscientious care, and assembled them, as opportunity offered, for religious services. Of course tome were displeased with these non-mili' tary' proceedings—as they were called—and various communications adverse to him were made to the Commander-in-Chief, Lord W. Bentinck, and he was described as a straightlaced Saint, a Dissenter, and, withal, a Baptist. 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. Mr. Collier remarked : of the country has been " Thetoconscience the awful importance and responsiaroused bility which attended the government and direction of 200,000,000 ol human beings.

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.

The Railroad has been in regular and successful operation for more than two years, and its capacity for tho transportation of every description of merchandise, including Oil, Provisions, 4c, has been fully tested. The attention of several Captains of whaleships has recently been turned to the subject of shipping theiroil from Panama to New York durinjr tlit* present season, and the Panama Rail-Road Company litis made arrangements to afford every facility which may be required for the accomplishmentof this important object. A Pier, 450 feet Ion?, has been built in the bay of Panama, to the end of which Freight Cars arc run to receive cargoes from lighters or vessels lying alongside, and deliver the same alongside of vessels at Aspinwall. Vessels of from 200 to 300 tons can lie at thePier with safety, grounding in the mud at low water. The vessels to and from Aspinwall are fast-sailing brigs, be longing to the Rail-Read Company, and the Company Is prepared to receive oil at Panama and deliver It in New York, under through Bill* of Lnffing at the rate of eight cent* per gallon, if received at the Pier, and nine cents per gallon if received In the harbor from ship's tackles, charging for the capacity of the casks, without allowing for wantage. This charge covers every expense from Panama, to New York, in caw the oil is sent through the Superintendent or Commercial Agent ofthe Panama Rail-Road Company, Insurance excepted. Th« freights may l>e made payable on the Isthmus or in New York at the option of the shipper The vessels ofthe Company sail regularly semi-monthly, and the average passages to and from Aspinwnll are about twenty to twenty-five days. The time occupied in creasing the lshmus is four hours. Oil, during its transit across the Isthmus, will be covered with canvas, or conveyed in covered cars, and owners may be assured that every care will \n- taken to prevent leakage.

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!"

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. You might know so much of what it has to teach you, and by it you would become wise unto Salvation. 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.

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.

As the English would say, Jarves is a " clever" writer upon the Fine Arts. While thus reposing upon his acquired Gun* and literary character, and, as his friends and admirers hoped, gathering materials and husbanding strength for a nobler effort, and loftier flight in the sphere of authorship, how bitter the disappointment and deep the mortification experienced, while turning over the pages of his last book, Confessions of an Enquirer." The very title we find fault with, because it does not convey a correct idea of the book or its author. To employ a term, not seldom met in another of Mr. Jarves' work, (Art Hints,) we regard the title a sham. A sincere enquirer after truth is modest, diffident, distrustful, cautious, humble and serious —but not one of these terms will apply to the author of" Confessions of an Enquirer," who writes in a bold, flippant, dogmatic,self-reliant, and.we arequite sorry to add, a scoffing, sceptical and immodest style. No sincere mind," says Mr. Jarves in his Art Hints, "can find pleasure in shams." We arc confident that no sincere mind can find pleasure in this book. The author, in a most trifling and half-sneering style, treats of subjects demanding at least a respectful degree of seriousness. We do not object to a playful and lively style, but it is irhpardonable in an author, who, referring to a brother's death, can speak of his being taken off by croujt-express. We feel some compunctious about noticing this book at all, and should not, if the author's acquired reputation was not calculated to bolster up and give currency to the semi-infidel sentiments with which this book abounds. The writer's bold, vigorous, find out-spoken style, docs not allow him to deal out his skeptical ideas in homeopathic and sugared doses. No one but a skeptic could ever write as Jarves does respecting Heaven, Hell, God, the Devil, and kjndred subjects. What, says one, is Mr. Jarves to be classed among skeptical writers ? Yes, if Jean Jacques RO3seau lielongs to that class, and we do not imagine any well-informed person will class him elsewhere. But Mr. Jarves has written many things even in his Confessions" which indicate that ho believes in Divine Revelation —and so did Rosseau in his Confessions" write many things in praise of Christianity and its Divine Founder. So Christian writer of modern times has written a more splendid eulogium upon Jesus Christ than this very sceptic Rosseau ! The truth is, throughout the book of Jarves, now under consideration, there runs a deep undercurrent of scepticism that, not unfrequently, rise* to the surface. We have heard one thoughtful and intelligent reader pronounce one third of the book infidel, another third Christian, and theremainder indiner- " U'lirn all author litis acquired a world-wide fume, the intimation thut he is about to publish a new book quickens the pulse of the reading public, and refreshes the jaded spirits of editors and reviewers. How gladsome tho report that Prescott, Macaulay or Irving has another volume ready for the press. Writers of less fame arc accounted public benefactors, and their writings are greeted with delight. James Jackson Jarvcs has acquired a literary reputation that gives him a standing among the best and most vigorous writers of the day. Even European critics have quite lavishly extolled some of his works, but especially his History and Art Hints. Multitudes in America regar led him with honest pride as contributing to the literary reputation of their conntry.

But His readers, his it new chapter has now opened ! admirers, his friends, and even hisenemies, are quite taken by surprise at a new development of his character, as a writer. The reader will of course understand that we now refer to his Confessions." Iv 1855,Mr. Jarvespublished his "Art Hints," and about that period his Parisian and Italian Sights" were making their appearance in Harper's Monthly, and have since appeared in book-form. As a work, however, evincing a high order of talent and extensive reading, his Art Hints" takes precedence of nil his other productions.

How il was possible for a son, a husband, a father, a man, and more than all, a professed believer in Divine revelation, to pen such passages M are profusely scattered over the pages of this book, is somewhat mysterious. We havo tried to view men and principles through Jarves' spectacles, in order to do him justice. No one can read character and principles with mora accuracy than Jarves. lie lias axpraaaad an idea in hi* Art Hints, which will tend, if followed out, to solve the mystery of his present position. "So far as my own observation extends."' remarks Mr. Jarves, respecting American artists, "only the best minds can pro through their ordeal of show, fashion and mannerism, unscathed. Weaker intellects lose the freshness, energy and pure tastes which wero their attributes in America, and adopting the degeneracy of European Art, becoino crude imitators of academic styles, and plagiarists of olden thought." (Page 307.) Substitute Authors for Artists, and the mystery is solved. Has not James Jackson Jarvesshown himself to lie one of the "weaker intellects"? His. long residence in Europe, while it has enabled him to depict Parisian and Italian sights, as seen through American spectacles, has evidently destroyed the freshness, rnergy and pure tastes which wore his attributes " in the earlier years of his authorship. He might not lie willing to confess the fact, but will not truth sustain the assertion that James Jackson Jarves has become the crude imitator of Jean Jacques Rousseau, and a plagiarist of Sterne' Our limits will not allow ns to extend remarks, or trace the comparison, which might readily be done. We perhaps owe our readers an apology for occupying to much space with remarks upon Mr. Jarves ns an author, but we take shelter under our previous admiration lor his |ien, and our present grief that it should be devoted to an unworthy use. In his fame we glo-ried, but of his infamy we are ashamed ; lor to publish such a book, after having acquired a reputation so truly enviable, is unpardonable in an author. All the clover things he may have published, and friendly words uttered, in favor of truth and virtue, cannot atone for the opposite statements set forth *n this volume. " Any persons having newspapers, books and pamphlets, which they are willing to furnish for gratuitous distribution, will please send them to the "Sailors' Home."

D. of one variety is considered sweet and edible by the natives, for which it is more valued than for the contained water and meat. The cocoanut thrives wherever planted on this island, though the most usual localities here, as elsewhere, are along the shores and on the coral islets. The leaves of what I think must be a species of the sago (sagus) are used for thatching. It usually seeks quite moist localities. It stands perfectly erect and spreads its magnificent tuft at the maximum of perhaps 75 feet. The surface of its fruit is broken into lozenge-shaped spaces which are so arranged as to remind one of scale armor. From a slight experiment, it seems probable that sago can be procured from it. A plant very nearly allied to the betel-nut tree (areca catechre), if it be not indeed the genuine plant, is occasionally to be seen. The natives frequently chew the unprepared root, but never combine it with lime and betel leaves, as in the East Indies, and as even on an island so near as Yap. A species of arrowroot (tacca) is scattered plentifully about the island, and might be made a comparatively considerable article of export. It is peculiarly abundant on the Ant Group. The genus ginger (zingebar) has at least one representative here. Its root-stocks have much of the aromatic property peculiar to the genus, and are used by native practitioners for cataplasms. Of the banana (musa) there are many varieties—neither Malabar nor Sumatra can boast of more—fifteen or twenty may be mentioned. The general remarks will readily hold that their fruits are not of the most delicate kinds, though the most of them can be in various ways so prepared as to be very palatable and important articles of diet, and at least two varieties will hold their place among the most luxurious of tropic fruits— specimens of the veritable musa paradisaca ! I cannot certainly determine whether we have the particular plant of the Philipine Islands named musa textiles, but it is interesting that several varieties here found produce a fibre that cannot be distinguished from the Manila hemp. The natives have, from time immemorial, known how to prepare and variously dye this fibre, which they weave into very tasteful and durable belts, that the men wear bound about the body just over the umbelical region, above their cocoanut skirt. One variety, of which little care is taken, produces but abortive fruit, yet compensates for its sterility by furnishing what the natives deem an edible stem, quite tender and sweet, and slightly nutritious. At least one variety of the laurals (lawracese) is found here. It must, from its sensi- �27 THE FRIEND.

APRII, ANCIENT NAVIGATION: Africa circumnavigated 600 years before Christ; or, 2000 veins before America was discovered. In these days of steam and clipper-sailing vessels,when the circumnavigation of the globe is a common occurrence, il is interesting to trace the history of navigation from those early ages when vessels came to anchor every night, and the cautious mariner never lost sight of lant'. The traditionary rumor has been handed down from the days of Herodotus, who has been styled by Cicero, the "Father of History," that Africa had been circumnavigated about 600 years before the Christian era. Herodotus flourished in the fifth or sixth century before Christ. He asserts that " the whole of Lybia (Africa) is surrounded by the sea, except in that particular part which is contiguous to Asia." (Book iv : IL'). The reference is here made to the Isthmus of Suez. He then states that the person who proved this fact was Necho, king of Etrypt. The passage in Herodotus describing this remarkable event in ancient navigation, is the following: When he (Necho) bad desisted from bis attempt to join, by canal, the Nile with the Arabian Gulf, he despatched some vessels under the Phoenicians, with directions to pass by the columns of Hercules, and after penetrating the Northern ocean to return to Egypt. These Phoenicians, taking their course from the Red Sea, entered the Southern ocean; on the approach of autumn they landed in Lybia and planted some corn in in the place where they happened to find themselves ; when this was ripe and they had cut it down, they again departed. Having thus consumed two years, they, in the third, doubled the columns of Hercules (Straits of Gibraltar) and returned to Egypt." Thus it would appear that these Phoenicians, the Yankees of ancient times, instead of sailing out of the Straits of Gibraltar and down the western coast of Africa, (thus pursuing the route taken by the distinguished Portugese navigator, Vasquoz dc Gama, in 1497, who has the honor of first doubling the Cape of Good Hope) started from some port in the Red Sea, and sailed around the Cape from east to west, returning through the " Napolean presented each of his soldiers— most of them Roman Catholics—in the East with a copy of the Diamond Edition of the New Testament, published in London, in the French language, by the British and Foreign Straits of Gibraltar.

In sailing down the Red Sea and through the Mozambique channel, the sun would rise on the left, but, after doubling the Cape, they would have the sun upon their right. Perhaps a better interpretation of the language of Herodotus would be that, to the ancients living in the northern hemisphere when facing the east, the sun would always be on their right to the southward, but when the Phoenician mariners were south of the Line, in the southern hemisphere, the sun would still be on their right, although they faced the westward. A modern historian, (Jrote, of wonderful research and great authority among scholars, warmly advocates the idea that Africa was circumnavigated by the ancient Phtenician mariners. He remarks, ,is follows " There seems good reason for sharing his (Herodotus') belief, although several able critics reject the tale as incredible. The Phoenicians were daring masters of coast navigation, and in going, round Africa they had never to lose sight of land we may presume their vessels were amply stored, so that they could take their own time, mid lay by in bad weather; we may also take lor granted that the reward, consequent upon success, was considerable. For any other mariners then existing, indeed, the undertaking might have been too hard, but it was not for them, and that was the reason why Necho chose them." —Grotc, vol. 111, page :."• 1. We would merely add, that this King Necho is supposed to be the Pharaoh-Necho, referred to in various passages of the2d book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. : ; Do Not Expect too Much, and You Will Not be Disappointed. Almost daily do we meet persons whose minds are full of wrong opinions and foolish prejudices, because they expected too much. Persons arriving here, fresh from Old or NewEngland, bringing with them theirown standard of civilization, refinement and Christianity feel sadly disappointed when they lookaround them and contemplate the striking contrasts which everywhere abound between scenes in Polynesia and other parts of the world. After a few months' residence and more extensive observation, they learn to take juster views and form more correct opinions. Some months since, we met Mrs. wife , from of Captain , Massachusetts. On arriving at the Sandwich Islands, she expressed herself as sadly disappointed. The missionary enterprise was not what she had supposed. The natives were not what the misssionaries had represented in the Herald. We heard her expressions of disappointmant, but having listened to so many who harped upon a similar chord, our nerves were not greatly shocked, or mind quite thrown off" its balance. We inwardly reasoned, it is not strange that persons should feel disappointed, if they have exppcted too �THE FRIEND, APRIL, much; and so the matter was forgotten. sailed for a cruise in the The ship South Pacific, and on its return touched at the Marquesas. There our good lady friend found a state of things so much worse than at the Sandwich Islands, that she was willing to conclude, well, after all, this missionary enterprise is not exactly a failure. At Marquesas she saw some of Melville's interesting sons and daughters of nature, uncontaminated by missionary training! There she saw a few Sandwich Island missionaries, toiling and praying to evangelize those who were ready, if possible, to stealanything they could lay their hands upon, when they visited her husband's ship, and, alas ! they were but too successful, for they even stole a bound volume of the Friend! Among the visitors there was one Natua, a convert, whose character beautifully and strangely contrasted with that of his fellow islanders. He was invited to sit at the cabin table, but no food would he eat until, like the Divine Master, a blessing was implored. The following is the exact English phraseology that the converted Alarquesan employed, and being among those speaking English, the poor man did his best to address God in the languige once spoken by Milton and Bacon " O Great Fadder ! got no fadder, got no modder, got no brodder, got no sister;—make tirst the sea, make first the dry land, make first the moon and stars, make first the trees, then He make man ; and now, Great Fadder, give man his belly full.

"North Star."—This vessel, belonging to New London, and commanded by Capt. Fisk, 5 1-2 months out, was wrecked on Bedoubt Island, on the north coast of New Holland, 12th of July, 1857. The island lies in E. long. 119° 30, S. lat. 19 c , but was not properly laid down upon the chart. It is a low, solitary and uninhabited island, about 40 miles from the main land, not exceeding one-and-a-half miles in circumference. The wreck took place in the night, but all hands were saved. The following day Mr. Pratt, Ist officer, went in search of the Vesper, 90 miles off, at Turtle Island. The Vesper took off 840 barrels from the wreck of the North Star, having on board, when she was wrecked, 1060 brls., which had been taken aboutDesolation Island. The North Star became a total wreck. Capt. Fisk and his wife went to the Isle of France, and proceeded thence to the United States via Europe. The crew of the North Star shipped at the Isle of France on board the H. 11. Crapo, which was subsequently capsized off Cape of Good Hope; Capt. Baker and one Sandwich Island native only were picked up, at the expiration of fifty-six hours, by the steamship England, and taken to the Cape of Good Hope. Nothing has been heard from any others of the crew of the H. The late passage of the Excel, from Kauai to Honolulu, having been out thirteen days, shows the danger of inter-island navigation. Our schooners are navigated in the same manner as were the vessels of the ancients, while out of, sight of land all is doubt and uncertainty. The Excel, when she fell in with the brig Victoria, was bound direct for the coast of California ! We have been not a little amused with the sage remark of the Governor of Kauai, who was on board the Excel.

According to their account, the sea once overflowed the whole world, except Mouna Kaa, in Owhyhee, and swept away all the inabitants but one pair, who saved themselves on that mountain, and are the parents of the present race of mankind. Their morais, or places of worship, consist of one large house or temple, with some smaller ones round it, in which are the images of their inferior gods. The tabooed, or consecrated precincts, are marked out by four square posts, which Stand thirty or forty yards from the building. In the inside of the principal house there is u screen or curtain of white cloth, hungiu'rossone end, within which the image ef Etooali is placed. When sacrifices are offered, tho priests and chiefs enter occasionally within this space, going in at one side and out at the other. Although present on one occasion, I did not enter this recess, partly because I was doubtful of the propriety of doing so, and also on account of the difficulty I had in moving myself, and the risk of getting my wounds injured among the crowd. On the outside are placed several images made of wood, as ugly as can be well imagined, having their mouths all stuck round with dog's teeth. Their holidays took place about four times a month, and the ceremonies lasted from sunset, on the day preceding, to sunrise on the following day ; during which no person was permitted to pass the bounds of the morai. This time was spent in prayer, in sacrificing pigs, in eating the sacrifices, and in conversation. I nttended only once, and was not, at that time, sufficiently master of the language to understand the purport of the prayers. The priest continued nearly three hours, in a very solemn manner, during which the most profound silence was observed ; indeed, the smallest noise of any kind, either within the morai or in the neighbourhood, would have been a proof that the deity was offended, and the prayer must have ceased ; a proclamation was, therefore, made by the public crier, whenever the king entered the morai, ordering every animal near it to be confined, otherwise they should be seized and offered up as sacrifices. Those present stood with their arms extended towards heaven for about threequarters of an hour at the beginning of the prayer, and the same length of time at its conclusion. I was not required to perform this part of the ceremony. The number present did not exceed forty, and were all of the higher rank. Women were not permitted to attend on these occasions. Human sacrifices are offered upon their going to war; but nothing of the kind took place during my stay ; unless in the case already mentioned, of the man punished for breaking the taboo, and whose body was exposed before the idol.

MAI, 34 A Peep Abroad. Eajlnnd. The chief item of news in all the English papers, is the marriage of Prince William of Prussia to the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria. The ceremony took place January 25th. The DAronTEn of F..noland.—Englishmen Ml to- ward the Princess as toward the daughter of England, and shared the Queen's joys and anxieties ns if they had been their awn. And well lias the Queen Won this sympathy of her people on this the great domestic occasion of her married life. We kuow that she 'ns lived through a loiter and prosperous reign in a (Hire and well-ordered home ; that she has been a tender and wise, parent to her children ; that Buckingham Palace nursery and school room have been governed with a hand no firm, so wise, so maternal, that they might offer a model for all the homes in the land. And that is what Englishmen most deeply love. Their chief honor is the domestic crown. The purity an.l simplicity of the family life—the virtue, wisdom and motherlinesg of our women—lies very near to the heart of our national greatness ; and as a nation we recognize and honor it supremely in our Queen. And now the virtue and wisdom of years is bearing fruit of blessing, and the Queen has millions who will sympathise as friends in all her maternal cares and joys. No one could have failed to seize this as the characteristic feature of tho assemblage in the parks on Monday last, and to-morrow the crowd which will assemble to witness the embarkation will wear the same aspect. These marriage festivities have shown how deeply the reigning family are rooted in the affections of the people; and this affection, which is the crown of loyalty, is due chiefly to the personal character and domestic virtues of the Queen. There was a great gathering of foreign notables at the wedding; let them learn the secret of how thrones are made secure. The stability of the English throne is a thing by itself in the world. No continental throne can challenge comparison with it.— Chr. Times. The following is the hymn written by Mr. Tennyson, the Poet Laureate, and sung at the marriage of the Princess Royal \ God bless our Prince and Bride, God keep their lands allied, God save the Queen ! Clothe them with righteousness. Crown them with happiness. Them with all blessings bless, God save the Queen ! : Fair fall this hallow'd hour, Farewell, our England's flower, flod save the Queen ! Farewell, fair rose of May, Let both the peoples say, God bless the marriage day, God bless the Queen ! Giving the Whip to a Princess.—An English paper has the following —Among the presents made to the Princess Royal of England, on her late wedding day, was a riding whip, the but of which is formed from a piece of the hoof of a favorite horse, set in gold. It is said the shoe of this golden hoof is formed of diamonds, the nails being represented by fourteen beautiful rubies ; the whole of the bottom of the foot is a mass of small diamonds ; the handle of the whip il formed from one of the horse's bones, most highly polished, around which is twined a serpent in brilliants. : If English editors may head their columns, The Marriage of our Daughter," would it " be improper for Americans to refer to the event as the marriage of " our sister" ? England is surely well known as our Mother Country. Uniting England and France.—A proposal has been made to connect England and France by a tubular railroad bridge across the Straits of Dover, to be of the necessary height to permit the free passage of the largest vessels, and to be supported by towers ribing from the bed of the channel, the top of 18 5 8 each of which to form a lighthouse. The viaduct will be twenty miles in length, and could be traversed in twenty minutes. Another project has been made for effecting the same purpose by means of a tunnel under the Straits, which has received favorable attention from the authorities. The Quickest Passages in the Channel. On Friday night, the 4th inst., the royal mail packet Prince Frederick William ran with the mails from Dover to Calais, against tide, in one hour and twenty-seven minutes, and returned next morning in one hour and twenty minutes.

About thirty persons were arrested, mostly Italians. Death of the Queen of Oude.—The Queen of Oude arrived at Paris recently and took up her abode at the Hotel Lafitte, with a suit of forty or fifty persons. On the following Sunday she died there. It is said that she died of grief. She was attended in her last moments by Dr. Royer, one of the The Government and Hindoo Idolatry.— The Botnbuy Guardian states that " nothing can be more erroneous than the idea which seems to some extent to have got possession of the public mind, that government patronage of Hindoo idolatry is a thing of the past. It exists ; and to an enormous extent. There are no less than 26,589 temples and idols receiving the support of government in the Bombay Presidency alone. This figure is immense. The churches and chapeis, the places of worship of all kinds, in the whole of Great Britain, are less in number than the idolatrous shrines receiving aid from government in the Bombay Presidency. It is not the amount bestowed in aid that expresses Emperor's physicians.

Morse : Dear Sir:—At a literary and social festival last evening, in honbr of the Birthday of Washington, 1 related the following anecdote: During the war of our revolution, Benjamin West, the great American painter, was residing in London, and on familiar terms witn his Majesty George 111. Mr. West was in the palace painting the king's portrait, when a messenger came and delivered to the king a copy of the American Declaration of Independence. The king read it, and then remarked : " Well, if they can be happier under the form of government they havechosen than under mine, I shall be happy." Doubts were expressed as to the correctness of the statement, and as I relied for my authority on another who had told me that Benjamin West related to you this remark of George 111. in London, I take the liberty of asking you if the report is correct ? I will be obliged to you for an answer to this interrogatory, with any additional particulars that may verify or disprove the incident. Truly yours, S. Irenxus Prime. REPLY OF PROF. MORSE. New York, February 24, 1858. Dear Sir :—ln answer to your question in your note of yesterday, I would say that you are perfectly correct in your statement, as related to me by Mr. West himself, about the year 1813, in London. The circumstances of his relating to me this incident were briefly these : I called upon him at his house in Newman street, one morning, and in conformity with the order given to his servant Robert, always to admit us, (alluding to Mr. Leslie and myself,) even if he was engaged in his private studio. As I entered, a half-length portrait of George 111. stood before me upon an easel, and Mr. West was sitting with his back toward me copying from it upon canvas. My name having been mentioned to him, he did not turn, but pointing with the pencil he had in his hand to the portrait from which he was copying, said: see that picture, Mr. Morse ?'' " Do yousir," I said, " I perceive it is the " Yes,of the king." portrait "Well," said Mr. West, "the king was sitting to me for that portrait when the box containing the American Declaration of Independence was handed him."

MAY 1 , 1858. ANCIENT NAVIGATION AGAIN. An Attempt to Circumnavigate AfricaUnsuc es ful—Sargas oSea. In our last isssue we furnished our readers an account of the successful circumnavigation of the continent of Africa, about 600 years before Christ, or 2000 earlier than the same thing was done by the Poituguese navigators. This was by no means the only attempt which was made to accomplish this great undertaking. Ancient historians have recorded an attempt made by one Achscmcnid Satasfes. This man was condemned to death for the crime of violating the daughter of a Persian nobleman, Zophyrus. The mother of the criminal begged that he might be condemned to something "worse than death.'' The criminal's death-sentence was then commuted by Xerxes, for the circumnavigation of Africa! An expedition was fitted out from Egypt by Satasfes, says the historian Strabo, and sailing through the Straits of Gibraltar, steered to the South. After being absent for several months, returned and reported that he continued his voyage "until his vessel stuck fpst, and could move on no larther." His story, however, was not believed by Xerxes, and he was executed because the condition was not complied with upon which his sentence had been changed. It was, we would add, a common idea among the ancients that the Atlantic Ocean was not navigable beyond a certain distance on account of "earth, sea and air, in which you could neither walk nor sail." Plato represents the sea without the pillars of Hercules, or the Straits of Gibraltar as impenetrable and unfitfor navigation, in consequence of the large admixture of earth, mud, or vegetable matter which had arisen from the disruption of the great island or continent Atlantis ! One idea was that the sea became too salt for navigation, and another that outside the ocean there was a vast region of shallows, and large quantities of sea-weed, while wild beasts inhabited this boggy region ! Similar ideas were current even down to the days of Columbus, who has the honor of not only first discovering a new world, but of pushing his way through the Saragossa Sea—that immense region of the ocean covered with sea-weed, growing so thick and adhering so firmly together that it requires a good breeze to drive a vessel through it! Lieut. Maury, in his highly interesting and instructive work, the Physical Geography of the Sea, thus describes the Sargasso Sea : "Midway the Atlantic, in the triangular MAT, 1858. space between the Azores, Canaries, and the Cape dc Verde Islands, is the Saragasso Sea. Covering an area equal in extent to the Mississippi Valley, it is so thickly matted over with Gulf weeds, (fucus natatis) that the speed of vessels through it is often much retarded. When the companions of Columbus saw it, they thought it marked the limits of navigation, and became alarmed. To the eye, at a little distance, it seems substantial enough to walk upon. Patches of the weed are always to be seen floating along the outer edge of the Gulf Stream. Now, if bits of cork, or chaff, or any floating substance, be put into a basin, and a circular motion be given to the water, all the light substances will be found crowding together near the center of the pool, where there is the least motion. Just such a basin is the Atlantic Ocean to the Gull Stream ; and the Sargasso Sea is the centre of the whirl. Columbus first found this weedy sea in his voyage of discovery ; there it has remained to this day, moving up and down, and changing its position like the calms of Cancer, according to the seasons, the storms and the winds. Exact observations ns to its limits and their range, extending back for fifty years, assure us that its mean position has not been altered since that time." It is by no means unreasonable to suppose that ancient navigators may have sailed outward bound until their vessel stuck fast! If so, the ancient ideas respecting the unknown regions of the Atlantic being made i:p of shallows and mud, may have been well ble energies in evangelizing the world, and in the meantime those remaining at home, doing all in their power to sustain those going abroad. There is no manner of doubt, if five hundred good and able ministers of the gospel were taken from England and Scotland, and one-half that number from America, and stationed in India and China, it would be a blessing to all those countries. We are not sure but a little wholesome persecution would have a good influence. Because P.iul made havoc of the church, "therefore they that were scattered abroad, went everywhere preaching the word."—Acts viii.4. Remote as our locality may be from London, Oxford, Edinburgh, New York, Boston, Andover and Princeton, we fancy we could make out a tolerably long list of noble, able, efficient and talented divines imd ministers, including a few theological professors and religious editors, whose removal to distant heathen lands would confer great blessings upon the people among whom they were sent, and we do imagine their absence would not .prove very injurious to the communities from which they should be removed.

The lines have sometimes two strands, and sometimes three, and are much stronger than those of hemp. They drag these lines after their canoes, and in this manner take bonettas, dolphins and albicores. For the hooks of their own manufacture bait is not required, the mother-of-pearl shank serving the same end. When wire hooks are used, they wrap a piece of white cloth round them. The nets in which they take the flyingfish are made of twine of the same material. They are about a hundred yards in length, by three or four yards in breadth, and havo a large bag in the center, They are set like herring-nets, with the upper edge floated by buoys of light wood, whilst the lower edge is kept under water by weights of lead or iron. In order to prevent the fish from flying over, branches of trees are laid all along the head-line. When properly extended, a canoe at each end of the net gradually advances, forming it into a circle, into which the fish are driven by,a number of canoes, who fill up the open side, and beat the surface violently wiih branches. When the canoes at each end of the net meet, they gradually take it in, contracting the circle till the fish are forced into the bag in the center. In this manner prodigious numbers are taken. I have known them return after a day's fishing, with ten or twelve canoes deeply loaded. Sometimes the net is so full they cannot take it on board, and are obliged to drag it after them to the shore. They have a singular method of catching fish by poison. This is done by means of an herb like heath, stripped of its bark and bruised; with this they dive to the bottom, and place it beneath the stones, where the fish lie. The poison is so powerful, that in a short time they sicken and come up to the surface. When taken they are instantly gutted, in order that the poison in their stomach may not affect the quality of the fish. The occupiers or proprietors of land are entitled to the privilege of fishing upon their own shores as far as the tallest man in the island can wade at low water, and they may exercise that right at all seasons ; but beyond that the sea is tabooed, except at two periods in the year of six weeks each, during which unlimited fishing is allowed ; at these times it is the general employment of the natives, and they cure enough to serve them through the tabooed season. In every article of their manufacture these islanders display an extraordinary degree of and ingenuity, considering the simplicity of the tools with which they work. The tool in most general use is a kind of tomahawk, or adze, called toe; it was formerly made of hard polished ston», but is now universally made of iron. To form it, they lash a thin plate of iron, from one to four inches broad, and five or six long, to a branch which has a piece of the stem atttched to it. Plane irons are much in request for this purpose; but the toe is frequently made of an old hoop. This, with a piece of coral for a file, is almost the only tool used in the construction neatness �THE IRILMI. MAI, oftheirbouses.canoesand implements of wood. The circular wooden dishes, containing from half a pint to five or six gallons, are formed with these simple tools, and are as neatly made as if they had been turned in a lathe. It is astonishing how soon they acquire the useful arts from their visitors. Many of the natives are employed as carpenters, coopers, blacksmiths and tailors, and do their work as perfectly as Europeans. [To be continued.] MARINE JOURNAL. PORT OF HONOLULU, S.I.

The Treasurer's report was read and accepted. From the Secretary's report it appeared that the Society had existed 17 years, had raised $62(15, distributed 6290 Bibles and 3728 Testaments, in nine different languages. During the past year, 562 Bibles and 223 Testaments. The following officers were elected for the coming year: Judge Andrews, Pretident. G. M. R)bert»on and G. P. Judd, Vice Pretidtnti. 8. C.

Sermons.—The Annual Sermon in behalf of the Hawaiian Missionary Society was preached at the Fort Street Church, Sabbath afternoon, May 23d, by Rev. L. Andrews. We intended to have published a lull abstract of the admirable discourse, but learn that the Society intend publishing the srrmon in full. The Annual Sermon in behalf of the Bible Society was preached Sabbath evening, May 30, at the Methodist Chapel, by Rev. W. P. Alexander. The Sermon in behalf of the Tract Society will be preached by the Rev. B. W. Parker. With this number we conclude the republication of "Campbell's Residence on Oahu, 1809-10." From the frequent remarks which these articles have elicited, we infer that they have been read with much interest by many of our readers. The book from which these chaptars have been copied is exceedingly rare. The sketch of the character of Kaniehnmeha I, in this number, is worthy of perusal. Hereafter we intend publishing additional paragraphs from "rare and old authors,*' now in our possession, and relating to the early history of these islands. We regret that our crowded columns do not allow the publication of a full report of the interesting revival intelligence received by the last United States mail. Up to the latest dates there was no abatement of interest. Ttie general tenor ofall the papers indicate that the awakening is deepening and spreading. We cannot refrain from urging our riders to peruse these newspaperrept.rts with careful attention and true candor. These reports furnish a most interesting and important chapter in the world's history. We refer our readers to the Commercial and Polynesian for full reports of speeches and addresses at the Palace, called forth by the birth of the Prince Royal, the presentation of the new Commissioner, &c. Success to the guano enterprise at Jarvis Island. 41 {(01b Sfrics, t)ol. 15. NOTES OF A VOYAGE TO THE MARQUESAS ISLANDS, ON BOARD OF TBI BRIO "MORNING STAR "—BY RIV. ARTEXAS BIbUOP. I.—Outward Passage. We left Honolulu on the 16th of March, ISSB, in the brig Morning Star, Cnpt. Johnson, Master, and A. G. Thurston, Mate. My fellow passengers were, Rev. J. Bicknell, with the Hawaiian teachers, L. Kuaihelani and L. Kaiwi, with their wives. For the first ten days we encountered S. E. gales, which drove us to the westward of the usual course. We crossed the line on the 29ih of March, in lon. 132* W., nearly two degrees west of Capt. Moore's track last year. But easterly breezes prevailing, we crossed his track in hit. 10° S. and 150° W. lon., near Caroline Island. From this point we commenced beating to the eastward, and for three weeks we were progressing slowly towards the Marquesas, 600 miles east of us, against a head wind and a strong westerly current. We traversed the Southern Ocean, back and forth, from the Bth to the 13th degrees, sailing about 150 miles per day, and making from 20 to 40 miles as an average day's work on our course. Although the winds of this part of the ocean are called the " S. E. Trades," yet they blow nearly the year round from a quarter varying but a point or two either way from the east. Consequently, they have not the cooling and refreshing power of our northern " Trades." This has been the usual route of our vessels hitherto in sailing to the Marquesas Islands. But it remains a question whether a shorther route might not be found by way of the northern variables to get the easting, and then down to the islands through the " Trades " with a free wind. The first land we sighted was Nilkahiva, and on the morning of the 21st April, 36 days from Honolulu, we made Hivaoa. II.-Arrival. Here we were detained two daya, lying off and on, to receive the families of the Hivaoa missionaries on board; viz: the families of Kauwealoha and Kaukau from Hanakekuua, and of Kekcla from Puamau. On Friday �THE FRIEND, JUNE, 185 8. 42 afternoon we stood out tn the N. E. to get to the windward of the island. The night was ttormy, wi h riin squalls. In the morning we were enabled to proceed on our way, and lay our course for Futuhiva. We arrived off Oomoa, near the roadstead, a little after dark, too late to venture in to the anchorage that evening; so we passed by to the south of the island and lay off, waiting for daylight. In the morning we took a pilot on board, und dropped nnchor about 10 A. M., abreast of the Missionary Station. This was on Sat# urday, the 24th of April, and 39 days from Honolulu. I.-LandReception. iCagonrdial I removed on shore with the Missionaries, where we were most kindly received by the Rev. J. Kaiwi and wife. I took up my retilence in the house of Mr. Bicknell, and took my meals at the long table set by Kaiwi, and furnished by the people of Oomoa. The arrival of the Morning Star was to them a great event, giving a consequence to their valley and to the Missionaries that called forth a liberality never before exerted by that people. On every side were greetings and expressions ofcordial welcome which | I had never expected to witness. Hogs, breadfruit, cocoanuts and bananas were brought in, more than all the Missionaries and their families could possibly consume. The surplus was sent off to the vessel, and we were all supplied in the greatest profusion. IV.—Examination of Candidates Missionaries, the 6 native church members, and 4 or 5 strangers from the Morning Star. In the course of my remarks, during the ordinance, I took occasion to say that the Mar-' quesan Mission had great occasion to be thankful to God for the good measure of success already obtained at the station where they had labored the longest. That, during the five years of their operations at Oomoa, they had raised up a little Christian community, who had forsaken their heathenish practices, and professed to believe in Jehovah ; that most of these, were learning to read, and attended religious meetings more or less regularly. That out of this number, 7 had already been received to the church, one of whom had died. I added, further, that it was five years after the arrival of Mr. Bingham and his associates at Honolulu, before the first converts were received to church membership, and that the number then received did not exceed the number now in the church of Oomoa. They had, therefore, every reason to feel confident that, if faithful in their labor of love for these heathens, God would prosper their work as He prospered us in the Hawaiian Islands. At the afternoon service, Kuaihelani was ordained to the ministry. Kaiwi read the Scriptures, Kauwealoha preached the ordination sermon, Keke'.a offered the ordaining prayer, I gave the charge, and Mr. Bicknell the right hand of fellowship. The occasion for ChurchMembership. was a novel one to the people of the place, who looked on with much interest. The Mission assembled in the evening to examine some candidates for church membership. Five persons presented themselves for the purpose. They were examined on their personal experience, their ideas of the true God, and what they thought concerning their heathen gods, on their belief in Jesus Christ as the Savior of sinners, and their ideas of Christian duties. They were accepted by the brethren, and a resolution passed to receive them the next day. V.—Examination of Kuaihelani for Ordination. We nfterwards proceeded to examine Lota Kuaihelani, in reference to his qualifications for the work of the Gospel Ministry. After a very satisfactory examination, the Missionaries voted to proceed to his ordin tion the next day, appointing the services of the afternoon for that purpose. VI.-SabE th xercises. The congregation on the Sabbath consisted of about 100 persons. But this is more than the usual number on ordinary occasions. After the sermon of the morning, the five candidates were received by the Pastor, Rev. J. W. Kaiwi, and, at his particular request, I baptized them. We then proceeded to the celebration of the Lord's Supper, at which were the 15 neither subjection nor real want, and why should he not be satisfied with himself ? VI.-Marquesn Warrior. He is a warrior, too, and this seems to be his delight. He spends all he possesses in the purchase of guns ar| d ammunition. Not the modern percussion lock—this he dislikes; but the good, old-fashioned flint-lock is his choice, with bayonet and cartouchebox. In order to make the greatest noise, and strike terror into his enemies, he loads it with a double or triple charge of powder, and on this he rams down an enormous slug. But lest mischief should occur to himself in its discharge, he crouches behind some wall or tree, out of sight, points his weapon, shuts his eyes, averts his face, and pulls away. The discharge gives hitn an enormous kick in the shoulder, turning the muzzle away from the object covered, and goes off with a tremendous roar, and with little damage to any but himself. He never faces his enemy in open battle, but lurks in his path and waylays him. It matteis little to him whether it be some unsuspecting man, woman or child of the opposite party in search of. food. If the latter, it is so much the le«s danger to himself. He falls upon him, kills him, and cutting off his head, he returns home with it in triumph, makes a feast to his atua, to whom he presents the skull publicly, and claims the honor of a " brave." Such is the manner of their warfare. They never take prisoners alive, unless to be a sacrifice to their god, when they feast upon their flesh. tIX.-AMoavrqeuL rsinn abor. VI.to-ChndP ief eople. 1 had been two days on shore, and became Such is the Marquesan. A noble fellow much interested in the people. They are in in his appearance, with much good nature, the lowest state of barbarism. Their roads, sprightly in his manners and icind to his their dwellings, their costume, and their manners, evince this. Their houses, thrugh embowered beneath the greenest forest shade, are of the rudest construction. The roofs, thatched with breadfruit leaves, are tolerably tight. The walls consist of upright bamboos, leaving an opening between each pole; the floors of rough stones, without mats or other furniture, except the wooden trays in which is kept their food. Their dress consists of the tapa girdle and kihei; their ornaments, a bunch of feathers or human hair on each ankle, and a small, curiously carved sea-shell in each ear. Their bodies are hideously tattooed from head to foot, their hair tied up into a high knot above the crown of the head. A fine, athletic form, but besmeared with turmeric and cocoanut oil, giving their skin a yellow tinge, and sending forth a peculair odor, offensive to the nostrils of strangers, but highly agreeable to themselves. About the waist is worn a girdle, carrying a sailor.s sheath-knife. Thus equipped, with a fan in his hand, the lord of creation walks forth with a stately step, as proud and selfsatisfied as if he held the reality. Ha knows friends, with more vivacity than the Hawaiian, but wholly averse to any labor but what is necessary to cook his food, despising subjection to the authority of any one, and indignant at being called a servant even of his chief. The Missionaries cannot hire the people to work, and have to employ strangers for that purpose. These are usually sailors or Polynesians, who have left ships touching at the islands. Tabus. aXn.-Supderstion These Marquesans are the subjects of many absurd superstitions and foolish tabus, that enter into their every-day acts of life, are a great hindrance to their improvement, and preventing themselves from doing many necessary things. They are offended when any of these superstitions are ridiculed, and will defend them with much zeal. But it is observable that all these peculiarities cease at once when they become under the influence of Christian principles. For this reason, I advised the Missionaries not to make these peculiar customs a prominent topic in their preaching, but to preach Christ crucified for sinners, as the great and only salvation. �THE FRIEND, 43 JUNE, 1858. together with the moral duties inculcated in Kuaihelani was Kindly received by the resi- hand oT cultivation is scarcely known.

The art of spiritual computation is not governed by the same principles and rules which guide our speculations concerning earthly objects. Toe value of gold, silver, merchandise, food, raiment, land and ho'tses, is easily regulated by custom, convenience or necessity. Even the more capricious and imaginary worth of a picture, medal or statue, may be reduced to a system tic rule. Crowns and sceptres have had their a ju Iged valuation, and kingdoms have been bought and sold for sums of money. But who can fix the adequate price to a human soul ? " What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul ? or, what shall a man give in exchange for his soul ?" The principles of ordinary arithmetic all fail here, and we are constrained to tay that He alone who paid the ransom for sinners, and made the souls of men His purchased possession, can comprehend and solve the arduous question. They are indeed bought with a price ; but are not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

Sandal-wood, pearl*, nnd mother-o f-pearl shells, are also the produce of these islands, and are frequently purchased for the China market. It is probable that the Russians will, in future, deiive from hence the principal supplies of provisions for their settlements on the Fox Islands and North-west Coast of America, and even Kamscatka. With the Island of Atooi the natives carry on a considerable trade. The inhabitants of Wahoo excel in making taper or cloth, whilst those of Atooi excel in canoes, paddles and spears, and they very often make exchanges in these articles. Owing to the number of ships that are constantly touching at these islands, provisions are by no means cheap. A pig is estimated by its length; the largest size, called poanana, or fathom-pig, measures that length from the snout to the rump, and is valued at two axes ; a junk of the thickst part of the sea horse tooth, five or six inches long, a yard and a half of blue cloth, or five dol- lars. Those that measure from the elbow to the opposite hand, are valued at one axe, or about half the price of the larger size. A sheep or goat may be had for a smaller piece of ivory; a muro or a pair of fowls for a knife, a pair of scissors, or small mirror. From their earliest years, the natives spend m'tch oftheir spare time in the water, and constant practice renders them so dexterous that they seem as much at their ease in that element as on land ; they often swim several miles off to ships, sometimes resting upon a plank shaped like an anchor stock, and paddling with their hands, but more frequently without any assistance whatever. Although sharks are numerous in these seas, I never heard of any accident from them, which I attribute to the dexterity with which they avoid their attacks. Throwing the top shoots of the sugar-cane at each other, and catching them in their flight, is a favorite amusement, the practice of which tends to render them very expert in the use of the spear. Dancing, wrestling, and foot-races are also common amusements, particularly at Macaheite time. The dances are principally performed by women, who form themselves into solid squares, ten or twelve each way, and keep time to the sound of the drum, accompanied �46 THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1858. by a song, in which they all join. In dancing they seldom move their feet, but throw themselves into a variety of attitudes, sometimes all squatting, and at other times springing up at the same instant. A man in front with strings of shells on his ankles and wrists, with which he marks time, a< ts as fugleman. On these occasions the women display all their finery, particularly in European clothes, if they are so fortunate as to possess my. They received great applause from the spectators, who frequently burst into immodfra.e fits of laughter at particular parts of the song. They have a game somewhat resembling draughts, but more complicated. It is played upon a board about twenty-two inches by fourteen, painted black, with white spots, on which the men are placed ; these consist of black and white pebbles, eighteen upon each side, and the game is won by the capture of th- adversary's pieces. Tamaahmaah excels at this game. I have seen him sit for hours playinsr with his chiefs, giving an occasional smile, but without uttering a word. I could not play, but William Moxcley, who understood it well, told me that he had seen none who could beat the queen, preserved the bones of her father, wrapped up in a piece of cloth. When she slept in her own house they were r laced by her side ; in her absence they were placed on a feather-bed she had received from the captain of a ship, nnd which was only used for this purpose. When I asked her the reason of this singular custom, she replied, "it was because she loved her father so dearly." When the King goes to war, I understand that every man capable of bearing arms must follow his chief; for which purpose they are all trained from their youth to the use of arms. 1 saw nothing like a regular armed force, except a guard of about fifty men, who constantly did duty at the king's residence. There were aboui twenty of them on guard daily, but the only sentry which they posted was at t c powder magazine. All night he regularly called out every hour, "All's well." They were armed with muskets and bayonets, but had no uniform ; their cartridgeboxes, which were made by the king's workmen, are of wood, about thirteen inches long, rounded to the shape of the body, and covered with hide. I have seen those guards at their exercise ; king. rapidity, and not precision, seemed to be their The game of draughts is now introduced, great object. The men stood at extended order, and fired as fast as they could, beating and the natives play it uncommonly well.

The only employment I ever saw Tamena, the queen, engaged in, was making these kites. A theatre was erected under the direction of James Beattie, king's block-maker, who had been at one time on the stage in England. The scenes representing a castle and a forest, were constructed of different colored pieces of taper, cut out and pasted together. I was present on one occasion, at the performance of "Oscar and Malvina." This piece was originally a pantomime, but here it had words written for it by Beattie. The part of Malvina was performed by the wife of Isaac Davis. As her knowledge of the English language was very limited, extending only to the words yes and no, her speeches were confined to these monosyllables. She, however, acted her part with great applause. The Fingalian heroes were represented by natives clothed in Highland garb, also made out of taper, and armed with muskets. The audience did not seem to understand the play well, but were greatly delighted with the afterpiece, representing a naval engagement. The ships were armed with bamboo cannon, and each of them fired a broadside, by means of a train of thread dipped in saltpetre, which communicated with each gun, after which one of.the vessels blew up. Unfortunately the explosion set fire to the forest and had nearly consumed the theatre. The ceremonies that took place upon the death of a chief have been already described. The bodies of the dead are always disposed of secretly, and I never could learn where they were interred. My patroness, the The natives of these islands have been accused of being cannibals ; but as far as I could judge, either from my own observation or from the inquiries I made, I believe the accusation to be perfectly destitute of foundation. Isaac Davis, who had the best means of knowing, having resided there more than twenty years, and who had been present and borne a share in all their wars, declared to me most pointedly, that " it was all a lie; that there never had been cannibals there since they were islands." From a perusal of the foregoing paces, it will be seen thnt these islanders have acquired many of the useful arts, and are making rapid progress towards civilization. Much must be ascribed, no doubt, to their natural ingenuity and unwearied industry; but great part of the merit must also be ascribed to the unceasing exertions of Tamaahmaah, whose enlarged mind has enabled him to appreciate the advantages resulting from an intercourse with Europeans, and he has prosecuted that object with the utmost eagerness. The unfortunate death of Captain Cook, and the frequent murders committed by the natives on navigators, particularly in Wnhoo, in which Lieutenant Hengist, and Mr. Gooch, astronomer of the Dmdalus, Messrs. Brown and Gordon, masters of the ships Jackal! and Prince Lie 800, lost their lives, gave such ideas of the savage nature of the inhabitants, that for many years few ships would venture to touch at these islands. But since Tamaahmaah has established his power, he has regulated his conduct by such strict rules of justice, that strangers find themselves as safe in his port as in those of any civilized nation. Although always anxious to induce white people to remain, he gives no encouragement to desertion, nor does he ever attempt to detain those who wish to depart. In 1809,the king seemed about fifty years of uge ; he is a siout, well-made man! rather darker in complexion than the natives usually are, and wains two of his front teeth. The expression of his countenance is agreeable, and he is mild and ufftble in his manners, and possesses great warmth of fe< ling; for I have seen him shed tears upon the departure of those to whom he was attached, and has the art of attaching others to himself. Although a conquerer, he is extremely popular among his subjects; and not without reat>on, for since he attained the supreme power, they have enjoyid repose and prosperity. He has amassed a considerable treasure in dollars, and possesses a large stock of European articles of every description, particularly arms and ammunition ; these he has acquired by trading with the ships that call at the islands. He understands perfectly well how to make a bargam, but is unjustly accused of wishing to overreach in his dealings. I never knew of his taking any undue advantages; on the contrary, he is distinguished for upright and honorable conduct in all his transactions. War, not commerce, seems to be his principal motive informing so extensive a navy. Being at peace, his fleet was laid up in ordinary during the whole time of my stay. When he chooses to fit it out, he will find no difficulty in manning his vessels. Independently of the number of white people he has constantly about him, and who are almost all sailors, he will find, even among his own subjects, many good sailors. He encourages them to make voyages in the ships that are constantly touching at the islands, and many of them have been as far is China, the Northwest Coast of America, and even the United States. In a very short nme they become useful hands, and continue so as long as they remain in warm climates; but they are not capable of standing the effects of cold. During my stay the building of the navy was suspended, the king's workmen being employed in erecting a house in the European style, for his residence in Hanaroora. When I came away, the walls were as high as the top of the first story. His family consisted of the two queens, who are sisters, and a young girl, the daughter of a chief, destined to the same rank. He had two sons alive, one about fifteen, and the other about ten years of age, and a daughter, born when I was upon the island. The queen was delivered about midnight, and the event was instantly announced by a salute of sixteen guns, being a round of the battery in front of the house. I was informed by Isaac Davis, that his eldest son had been put to death by his orders in consequence of criminal connexion with one of his wives. This took place before he fixed his residence at Wahoo. His mode of life has already been described. He sometimes dressed himself in the European fashion, but more frequently laid aside his clothes, a: d gave them to an attendant, contenting himself with the m ro. Another attendant carried a fan, made of feathers, for the purpose of brushing away the flies, whilst a third carried his spit-box, which was set round with human teeth, and had �47 THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1858. belonged, as I was told, to several of his pre- ADVERTISEMENTS.

It is said that he was at one time strongly addicted to the use of ardent spirits; but that, finding the evil consequences of the practice, he had resolution enough to abandon it. I never saw him pass the bounds 01 the strictest temperance. His queen, Tamena, had not the same resolution ; and although, when he was present, she durst not exceed, she generally availed herself of his absence in the morai to indulge her propensity for liquor, and seldom stopped short of intoxication.

The coachman of the Bishop was a frequent hearer of Bunyan. and the Bishop hud told him that whenever, in riding out of town, he should chance to meet Mr. Bunyan, he wished to see and sp?ak with him. One day as John was driving his lordship in a portion of the suburbs sufficiently retired for the Bishop to gratify his curiosity, Bunyan was seen plodding his way on foot, with his bundle under his iirm, going to preach somewhere in the outskirts. " Your grace,"' said John, "here comes Mr. Bunyan." "Ah," said the Bishop, * hold up the horses when you overtake him, anil let me speak to him."

"Well, your grace," replied Hunvan, "it is allowed, I believe, by all, that Timothy wasa bishop of the primitive church, and Paul, as all agree, was a traveling preacher. It occurs to me that this may have been designed, in future days, to teach that in primitive times the bishops were accustomed to wait upon the traveling preachers ; whereas, in our day, the bishops ride in their coaches, and the traveling preachers, like Paul, are minded to go afoot.'" -- room. 6-tf Honolulu, May, 1857.

Editorial Reminiscence. If former tourists had not described every nook and corner of the Sandwich Islands, we should feel disposed to scribble a few paragraphs relating to our recent trip to Maui, but particularly Wailuku and Makawao. Those two places are so located that they are perpetually looking each other in the face. Makawao, abiding in mists, looks down upon Wailuku, reposing under its broad and cloudy canopy. At Makawao it rains almost daily, but at Wailuku but seldom, during the summer months. The former, with all its rain and moisture, has no streams or rivulets, but the latter, without rain, supports one of the finest rivers upon the islands, well adapted to water power. The farmers at Wailuku succumb to the indigo, while at Makawao but a few plants only have appeared. At the former spot the herds of horses and cattle fare hard, while at the latter they fatten upon Spanish clover; and, strange as it may appear, such is the moisture in and upon the grass, that horses and cattle go for months without once visiting a stream of water for drink. Wailuku is admirably situated for irrigation, and eventually we hope may become a perfect garden. Makawao, as an agricultural district, has many advantages over most parts of the islands. It was exceedingly pleasant and invigorating to ride along cane-fields well fenced and well tilled, and through wheat fields alive with the busy reapers and their attendants gathering the wheat into stacks, to protect it from the rain and get it ready for the threshing and winnowing machines. To see all this done by Hawaiians, rendered the sight doubly pleasant. Wheat growing appears to suit the natives, and we hope every locality will be pointed out to them where wheat will grow. The success of the sugar estates at Makawao, this year, is most gratifying. With capital and good management, success may be confidently expected ; but with capital to any amount, and poer management, ruin is certain. Those undertaking the sugar business hereafter, ought surely to profit by past experience or want of experience. A person visiting either place during the month of June, will not fail to prize the increasing supply of peaches. Most fortunately we hit the season exactly, and the kindness of friends in placing so many at our disposal, will be long and gratefully remembered. If you desire strawberries, they are to be found growing abundantly above Makawao, upon the lava-covered sides of Haleakala. Other fruits abound in that region, such as oheloes and pohas. It is worth a visit to Maui to obtain a good look at Haleakala, for this one mountain forms the whole of East Maui. We ascended to its summit in 1847, and do not care again to toil up its rugged steeps ; but the view from the top will richly reward the traveler for all his efforts to ascend.—[See Friend, August, 1847.] Other good views are to be obtained beside that from the summit. A spectator at Wailuku, looking across the plain, and upon that lofty dome-shaped mountain, in a clear and cloudless morning, will obtain an idea of vastness and grandeur deeply impressive. Let, however, the sun arise, clouds gather and overspread portions of its sides, then with sunshine and shade alternating, an idea of great beauty and loveliness will be suggested, and long linger an agreeable tenant of the memory.

We hope the effort may be long sustained, and eventually grow into a flourishing church and society. We would merely add, that Wailuku isjust the place to suit boys during a summer vacation. Its strenms, its herds, its shade,, its fruits, render the place a sort of boy's Eden. One thought more and our random remarks are ended. It was pleasant, go where we might, we were sure to meet old sea-faring acquaintances, some of whom we had welcomed when they first landed upon the islands. Having formerly tried to befriend them, it was exceedingly pleasant to witness a willingness to reciprocate kindness, aftermany days. Ho, for Fraser River! By reference to our previous volumes, we find that just ten years have rolled away since the rush commenced fox California. The present rush for Fraser Riverreminds us of those early California times. Judging from our San Francisco exchanges, we should infer the gold mania raged with great power. Reports from the new mining districts indicate a re-enactment of the same sad scenes which characterized California a few years ago. The San Francisco Herald intimates that famine is likely to prevail at the diggings ; if so, the suffering of the approaching winter will be great. If a little editorial advice would persuade some of our readers to " let well enough alone," we should be disposed to indulge in that strain ; but we are confident that no advice that we could give, would make the least impression upon minds gold-mad. If you will go, reader, hurry off, and, gold or no gold, be ready to return before the fall rains and winter frosts commence, or the chances are that your bod-, ies will become food for the bears and wolves of the wild regions along Fraser River. �50 THE Fltinii.

Some months ago, the benefits and importance of a Savings Bank were discussed in our columns, but the matter was dropped, principally because the Finance Department of the Kingdom was destitute of an officer specially devoted to its management. The Government organ has announced that the Finance Department is now to be presided over by the Hon. D. L. Gregg, late tJ. S. Commissioner. We do hope the subject of a Savings Bank will not escape his attention. The sphere and bearings of such an institution upon the community, must appear manifest to his mind. We consider the usefulness and healthy influence of Savings Banks as fully settled. Other civilized countries have established such institutions, and why may we not have one in Honolulu? We believe the Government might thereby, at �THE FRIEND, JULY, 1858. ten, perhaps eight per cent., per annum, ob- tain all the money it requires without paying twelve and eighteen per cent. It might require time to introduce the system and secure confidence in deposites, but respecting ultimate success, we entertain no manner of doubt. As to the details of such an institution, we have nothing to say. What we desire is simply this—that there shall be some institution established on the Sandwich Islands, where King and people, foreigner and sailor, professional man and mechanic, father and child, may deposit the funds which have !>een saved, and feel that they are safe. We copy the following items from our exchanges. Savings Banks.—The first Saving Bank was established in England in 1804, through the philanthropic efforts of Mrs. Elizabeth, of Tottenham, and from that time Savings Banks grew rapidly in public favor. They were first established in the United States in Philadelphia in 181(5, in Boston in 1817,and in New York in 1819. The Savings Banks in the State of New York now hold on deposit over 841,000.000, paying over $2,000,000 interest to depositors the last year. The total number of depositors was 203,804, the average deposit $203, being the savings of those whose support depends mainly on their daily individual labor. The Dime Savings Bank in Baltimore, appears to have demonstrated the practicability of such institutions, and shows how large results flow from small causes. It appears from their annual report that the amount deposited during the financial year justclosed, was $90,503 47, making a total of $177,668 74. Of this there has been drawnby depositors, $67,729 90, leaving on hand $109,968 84. This exhibits an increase during the year of $22,773 57, notwithstanding the pressure of the times has evidently caused the withdrawal of so large an amount as nearly $68,000. The increase of depositors during the year has been 300, making in all at the present time, 3,657. Funeral Sermon, S' D AT THE BURIAL OF THE CREW OF JOHN MILTON"—BY REV. S. L. MER28, 1858, AT EAST HAMP- FF.BRUARY ,ONG ISLAND, N. Y. Our readers have been informed of the terrible wreck of the John Milton, off the east end of Long Island. With her commander, Captain Harding, many of our readers were acquainted. It seems but yesterday since he left Honolulu as master of a full ship, bound homeward. The sermon, indicated by the above title, has been forwarded by an old acquaintance residing near the spot where the fatal catastrophe occurred. From its contents, we learn that the John Milton was a new ship, having made a successful voyage to San Francisco, returning via Peru, to obtain a freight of guano, touched at Hampton Roads, and proceeded thence to her port of destina- 51 tion ; but when offLong Island, was wrecked, Sermon before the Haw.

Then I believed in Christ, and was able to kneel before Him and pray to Him. Then He became the friend of my soul, whom I learned to consult in all things, as I had formerly consulted my conscience. Christ recognized the power of example when He instructed, commissioned and sent out his disciples. He taught, too, by his own example—"leaving us an example, that we should walk in his steps." The apostles appealed to their own example as an unanswerable argument to the truth of the religion they taught—" Ye are our witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you, giving no offence in anything." The writings of the apostles abound with exhortations to Christians to shine by the example of a blameless, consist? nr, holy life— Walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, without offence, filled with the fruits of righteousness. See that ye walk circumspectly, that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world, that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men." Christian example, then, is the light which should constantly go out from the church and shine on the dark world. 2. The Church is to shine on the world by " the truths which it teaches. 3.

(For the Friend.) Book-Keeping by Double Entry. Sitting, a few days since, in a merchant's store, my ear casually caught from a neighboring counting-room, a few earnest words from a principal to a clerk, on the importance of careful book-keeping. My mind, however, being somewhat given to such vagaries, betook itself to a meditation upon a kind of book-keeping not often I fear touched upon in either counting-room or parlor conversa- tion. I found myself reflecting upon the way in which each act of each human being, from childhood to decay, tells either on the character of the soul itself, or on the external world, whether of matter, animals or men— thus entering itself in the great Book of Nature—writing its own record more faithfully than any in counting-house day-books, in such sort that every impulse, down to the unlooked feeling or unspoken thought, is there as though " graven with an iron pen and lead, in the rock forever;"—forming a record as enduring as the universe, or as the Infinite Mind of which that universe is the "Word." And yet, faithful as it is, this is not the only record of each soul's transactions, for in each also is a faculty of memory, and nowhere but in the heathen mythology (and there rather as wished for than believed in) is there a Lethe. As faithfully as the external world, and as enduringly as the soul itself, does Memory hold her record of the past; and assiduously as we may deceive ourselves, she ever and anon makes us aware thatthere can be no tampering with her entries. So, in the Book of Nature and the Book of Memory, does each life doublyrecord itself, for its own retrospection and for the views of others. Not an iota is or can be lost, nor can the records be concealed. The universe declares the one, and to the other the supreme court of conscience has ever free access, and may at any moment startle us from our dream of rest, by pointing to some page that perchance we fancied lost beneath thedust of years, and sternly asking, " Was that right ?" " That which was spoken to the ear in closets"— that which the soul whispered to itself in the secresy of its own councils—must " be proclaimed upon the house tops," and we ourselves cannot avoid passing judgment on its moral character. If it be true that for each, these infallible and everlasting records do exist, (and that it is true, quiet meditation on well known facts would seem sufficient to convince any one,) is it not worth while for each to ask himself, what spirit of life will be revealed by the opening of those books in his case ? Will they show fair and honest and honorable transactions, the natural expression of a spirit of love, peace and good will ? or will they suggest only a self-seeking spirit which, when seen by the soul itself, in its moral deformity and littleness, will force it to call upon the rocks and the hills to fall upon it, and hide it from its own more crushing sense of shame and misery ? Surely it is worth while, when we so carefully inspect the records of our pecuniary affairs, also to keep an eye upon the character of those which mark down not only our dollars and cents, but our hearts and lives.

It was a native vision similar to that of Eliphaz the Temanite. Job. 4: 12-17. An image was before his eyes, there was silence, and he heard a voice saying, ' To-morrow, before the going down of the sun, the richest man in town shall die.' The dreamer, believing himself to be designated, watched with intense fear the declining sun on the appointed day. At length the orb sank below the horizon, and the bell began to toll.
