Here we spent an interesting sabbath, did up our business, held a meeting with the chiefs, took on board the Missionaries at that Island, and the effects of Kekela, Mr. Bicknell and Kauwealoha. who had previously moved to Hivaoa. and, Monday evening, June 8, sailed for Puamau, on Hivaoa, where we anchored the next day at noon.

Here all the Missionaries were collected for a general meeting, which continued eight days. Here we ordained Brother J.

For many years the deceased has occupied responsible offices of the Hawaiian Government. He was the bosom friend of the late King, and his constant companion, up to the death of His Majesty. His death occurred on Saturday, July 18th. The time ot tin' funeral has nni been announced. During the brat few days, an epidemic been has generally prevailing throughout our community. It touch resembles the old influenza. Serious fears are expressed that it may prove fatal, in many cases, among the native population. It is particularly severe upon "fast" people, and those of irregular : habits. Donations.—For repairs in Bethel, from Dr. R. W. Wood, $25; from Capt. Milne, $5; Mrs. Cartwright, $5: and Mr. McGregor, for support of Friend, $5. and Sailor's Home, $5. The Chaplain would acknowledge, from Mrs. Dominis, for distribution among seamen, valuable files of the Ijmdon Uhistr.nte/i Nfus \m Stria, Vol. u ! In compliance with an appointment from the Hawaiian Missionary Society, I took passage on the Morning Star, May Ist, for the Marquesas Islands. Our winds were easterly, both north and south of the equator, with but one,or two days' exception, till we reached the islands. Beating our way from within two days' sail of Tahiti, with a strong curmost rent against us, we reached Hivaoa, the Group, the Marquesas northwesterly island of on the :jOth of the month. On the Ist of June, we observed the Monthly Concert of Prayer for Missions, near midway between Nuuhiva, Washington and Adams' Islands. Our collection for Missions amounted to $30 50. Still beating our way, and nearing every island of the group, as we passed it, we reached the east end of Hivaoa on the morning of the 4th of June, thirty-four days from Honolulu. Sailing in sight of the island, and the north side of it, the day previous, we had formed a pretty correct idea of the localities of the brethren, in case they were on the island. But whether either of them, except Br. Bicknell, was there, was all uncertain, and where his locality might be, was only a matter of conjecture. As we neared the first bay to the north of the island, we saw what proved to be two or three houses at the head of the bay, five or six miles distant. The old whale-boat was ne*r �tin; 50 lowered in a rough sea, and manned, and with Naroakeha on board, we rowed lor the shore, while the vessel lay off and on. We soon found our boat leaking rapidly, but a bucket and a sailor's boot, plied to the work of bailing, kept it comparatively free. Whore were we going, and with whom were we to meet, occasioned some |est.s anion,' the sailors, that indicated noMnalldegn f trepidation of mind. Midway to the shore we descried a boat approaching us, lilled with bareheaded, naked, tattooed men. whose visage was wild and uncertain in its indications. Approaching them, I enquired tor Kekela they pointed inland. I enquired tor Mr. Bicknell; they pointed to another valley. Their countenances then appeared to assume a milder aspect, and our men began to gain their assurance. 1 induced the natives to return with us to the shore. Compliance seemed cheerful ; and one of them soon proposed to get into our boat, as theirs was the best manned. As we assented, he plunged into the sea, and was soon in our boat, rowing like a hero. (A naked man. with brawny arms, tattooed on every part, and having only a show ot covering.) We approached the shore—there was a high surf on,—our men ; did not understand beach-combing, as they said;—-and our pilot could not well make US understand how to manage; but he did the best he could, and we got ashore not much wet. Before reaching the shore, we found the buildings seen from the vessel to be the tenements of the Papists; and the priests Wem in front, anxiously waiting to welcome a friend and a vessel, which they had long expected. But as Kekela arrived at tin' beach the moment 1 reached land, the warm embrace, the hearty greeting, the expressive silence that we both maintained for some minutes, surrounded as we were by a hun- dred OT a hundredand fifty natives, mostly children, was a sufficient token for the Papists to retire, which they were not slow to improve. We walked towards Kehela's house, which was in a grove of bread-fruit, cocoa-nut, hao, aoelo and banana trees, quite concealed from view. I soon revealed mv immediate errand, and fuund that arrangements had been made to have a general meeting at llanaahi. on Hivaoa, Mr. Bicknell's location. RTUVEOHNSFATUHIVA. TELVA,OINSDT Soon our preparations were made; we hastened to the boat, and dashed through the surf towards our vessel, now invisible, except her top-mast, in the distance. But the scene which our eyes had beheld—nac strange sfioc.kmg—was before the minds of us all, exet'pt Keke,la, to whom such sights had become familiar. We had taken the natives all at unawares, p.ed so we saw them when least on their giuyri, and most like — w'bemselves — After getting through the surf ji fkm:ni>. lv. isr>7 into com|Kiratively still water, and the boat hailed, all was silent save the splash of the oars, and each one indulged his own train ol reflection. By and by one of the seamen said, "Well, such a Sight as that I never saw before." Another said, "That was worth the dollar I gave al the monthly concert." Another still, "Those who ay that Missionaries have done no good, are fools. I low is it possible thai such men can be civilised ? What can induce a civilised man to live among them " Our hoar went on.and before the sun had set we were all sale on board, and urging our Way to Patuhiva. We now felt thai the mist ol uncertainty, that had hung over us, was being dissipated, and our business was assuming a more tangible form. At the dawn of the ne\l day, we were under the lee of Patuhiva, hoping to reach the nnchoMge before sunrise, laud our car :o, and be on our wav back with Missionaries and freight for Hivaoa before dark. But God hail otherwise determined —sunrise and breakfast came, anil we were not up lo the anchorage. Many Fatuhivans came on board.

So we resolved on .spending our Sabbath at Omoa. On Saturday, the work went on of landing tilings for the station, and taking on the goods for the brethren on Hivaoa. It was well understood that Patuhiva was not to lie forsaken by the Missionaries, as God had not forsaken it. We arranged for meetings in Hawaiian, Patuhivan and the English languages, and for the Lord's Supper. At an early hour, Sabbath morning, the natives bpirnn to come around in considerable numbers. All who had broken away from the kapu system, entered the house and tool, seats, perhaps fifteen in all (libel's, who feared the kapus, sat or stood near the side of the house, which was open to the west in all, forty or fifty. We felt it to he a good occasion. The songs of praise, and words of instruction from the text, "(1011 is love," were listened to by many with much apparent interest. We sat down to the Lord's table, men from six different nations of the a»rth, fifteen in all, and called to mind the dying love of Jesus in his sacred ordinances, while the Morning Star, floating in sight, at the distance* of half a mile, spake unequivocally to many hearts ' : : Savior, "Uu earth, into all the and preach my (lospel ye to every creature," was not being wholly disregarded by His people. The day will long 1)0 remembered by many as a good Sabbath in a land where the people perish for lack of vision. On Monday, a meeting of the chiefs and people was called. 11l lULT OF TMI.'KI'. Vr.AKs' LABOR ON FATIIIIIVA. But before leaving this island, let trie say that after more than three years of labor, sell-denial and suffering, God has obviously acknowledged the labors of his servants on Patuhiva. Schools are now desired, adults and children attend them, and some from the thick mists of darkness are feeling after the light Two have been admitted to the church, one ol' whom they hope has yxme thus early to heaven; L)v> attend public worship, of whom ill are daily attendants at school 12 attend school in another place, bill fear to go to public Worship ; 111 children also attend school ; making ill all 45 attendants at sch,ml.

Said another, "The taboo- an 1 growing old." But I must pass that last command of the risen • along. DRUNKEREVEL. We took' an excursion, one mile inland, to drunken revel, or an awkward attempt to imitate drunkenness. The cocoanut-treos are now being tapped in large numbeis, lo tiie total destruction of thi fruit-buds, to prosee a the sap, which, whether fermented or not, makes an intoxicating drink. It is but cure few months since this evil has been introduced into Patuhiva, where foreigners have the whole credit of teaching it. One of a thousand illustrations this, that the vices of civilization are in advance of Christianity. a GENRM AL EETING. Our General Meeting was commenced, in due form, at Hanaahi, June 12th, 1557, at 3 o'clock, P. M„ and regularly organized by choosing a chairman, scribe and business committee. The meeting was continued through eight successive day.-, at this place, not including the Sabbath ; and was then adjourned to Hanatakuua, and closed with a short session, June 2-'ld. But as much as two days of this time was occupied in sorting out and dividing up supplies, which, it is hoped, in future, may be mainly done in Honolulu. The business transactions of the meeting will be woven in with pther things, as they come along: 1. Voted, To welcome Kaukau and wife, as fellow-laborers, to this Missionary held. 2. Voted. To approve of Kuaihelani's re- �51 THE FRIEND, J I IV, IBJ lo the Sandwich Islands, for reasons specified by himself. 3.

(In Saturday morning, Voted, That Bro. J. Kaivi be examined .is to his qualifications for the office of a Gospel minister. The examination occupied aboul one hour, and was judged satisfactory by a unanimous vole ; and the afternoon of the next day, Sabbath, was agreed on as the time lor the ordination. ",. Voted, That the Lord's Supper be cc]r. bra ted to-morrow morning. X Voted, That Tolllltele, the chief of |he place, who has for nearly a year given evidence lo Mr. Bicknell of being a converted man, should be examined for admittance to the Second Church of Christ in the Marquesail Islands, viz., tiie Church in Hivaoa. The examination proved satisfactory, and il was voted that he be baptized and received into the church to-morrow, at the time of the communion. Various oilier items of business acled. were trans- CHRISTAN SABBATH. The Sabbath dawned—a beautiful morning. Venus and Jupiter appeared in great splendor over the dark blue hills, and our Morning Star, snugly anchored in the little egg-shaped harbor of Hanaahi, seemed lo vie with those brilliant stars of light, to tell her tale, not of creation's birth, but of a risen Savior's birth. After breakfast and prayers on board, we saw a few persons coming over a mountain-spur, high as the Bali of Nuiiaim, to the place of meeting. At half-past nine o'clock, we were all on shore, assembled under the shadow of the cocoanut-trecs, on a platform of boards, landed the day before, and spread out for the occasion. There we sang hymns of praise in English and Hawaiian, prayed in Hawaiian and Fatuhivan, (Marquesan,) and preached in Hawaiian, which was interpreted into Fatuhivan, (Marquesan,) one hundred or more being present. After (his, Tohutete, having heard our cove. nam, and having consented to il, was baptized by the name of Dainela Tohutete, into the name of the Holy Trinity—no one disapproving; the heathen themselves saying that he was another man, unlike to them and unlike to his former self. After this we sat down tO the table of.(he Lord, seventeen ill number, from six different nations of the earth, sod celebrated the dying hoe of o ur Lord and Savior. There were at the feast two Marquesans, ten Sandwich Islanders, two Americans, one Englishman, one Dane, and one Norwegian. The Master of the feast also condescended to make one in our midst, ami we felt thai it was good lo be there. After this we returned lo the vessel. aii(lnt half-past two o'clock'convened again, nailer the trees, with a larger congregation than in the morning. The usual exercises of the ordination were performed with decency and propriety all were interested some understood, and others did not, the language, which was partly Hawaiian and partly Patuhivan; and the heathen looked on and wondered. A meeting in English followed the ordination, after which we all reiired. Monday, 15th, Was pent in rendu reI ports of labors, Arc. and answering questions put directly to the Missionaries from which questions the following facts were elicited. : ; ; FACTSELICITED. The Missionaries have all been without salt, except a little obtained from a captain, thai remained undissolved in pork barrels. The native Missionaries, men and women, have been barefoot, most of the time, for two years. Mr. Bicknell would have been reduced to the same necessity, had not ('apt. Wing given him four pairs of shoes, ('apt. W. also gave him beef, pork, biscuit, a hatchet and several knives, which were a great relief. The native Missionaries generally have been destitute ot' these articles. Kekela had hut one decent shirt when we ajrived, and Kuuwealoha was wearing a borrowed one. Their clothes, platet, knives and forks, &C., had to a great extent gone to pay for food and the expense of their voyages between Patuhiva and Hivaoa. To the question, By what name should your Mission be called i lic-phj—For the present let it he called "The Mission to the Marquesas Islands." But they said that the name Nuuhira embraced all the islands, as Hawaii does the Sandwich Islands. To the question, By what Question —Do you think it expedient for you to dwell at separate stations ? liiply (unanimous) —Yes, for the present. Question—What are your reasons for this sentiment? Ilrphi —l. Because we are wanted by the people in many more important places than we can occupy separately. ii. Because we have no fear Irom the people in dwelling alone. :!. Because the land is cm up into deep ravine.-, and it is difficult to pass from one lo the other, except by boats. 1. Because the people of one valley are ashamed to be dependent on the chief of another valley for instruction from his teacher and so a jealousy arises, which would generally injure a teacher's influence. .'). Because we fed that these little lights, lit up in the separate valleys, will !><• more likely lo enlighten, in the end, tht whole mass, than it at the present lime ihey are thrown two or move together into one valley. fi. Because the people of Hivaoa are more friendly, and more disposed to receive and treat Missionaries with kindness, than were those of Patuhiva. We therefore have im fear, so long as we follow faithfully our Master's business. The Missionaries, however, earnestly re. quest that each of the four stations may be reinforced by another Missionary the coining year, and that lour new stations on Hivaoa may be taken. OCHILDFRENMISSIONARIES. The Missionaries expressed great solicitude for their children, two of whom are now three years of age, and who speak only the Nuuhivan dialect, as their parents usually do. They do not wish to send them home to be educated in the Hawaiian, hut in the English language. If the children remain with their parents, who must keep open doors, if they would do any good to the Marquesans, till the age of six years, they will suffer irreparable loss. Who will take them, or pay for their education at the islands ? GENRIAL TEMS. tenure do you hold your lands, building spots, &c?

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

There is a total absence of the heartless feelmg manifested by some vv ho have gone forth on exploring expeditions, and who speak of the ignorant and degraded as "poor devils," utterly incapable ol appreciating the gospel message ! His reference to the Bible and Sabbath plainly indicate that he was a Bible, loving and Sabbath-keeping commander. There is one sentence which we have taken the liberty to print in capital letters. It deserves to be printed in letters of gold, and the sentiment, embodied in the instructions, given to the commander of every man-of-war, merchant vessel and whale ship sailing from the shores of a Christian nation. Quite too long have those engaged in national, commercial and sea-faring pursuits supposed that they were justified in conducting their enterprises upon any other than 'jospel principles. The golden rule should apply to nations as well as to individuals. The spirit of the command, " go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature," is as plainly addressed lo the commander of a man-of-war or a whale ship, as to any Missionary in Polynesia or China. The truth is, some people have eyes and see not, ears and hear not, minds and Understand not ! Whale Fish Island, (Bay of Disco.)

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

The New York Observer, Independent, Times, Tribune, and other papers, devote long columns to the subject. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher thus alludes to Dr. Bellows : " Without doubt, Dr. Bellows will hereafter give his presence. He is too honest a to recommend a course lo Christian men which he will not himself pursue. Selecting suitable armor-bearers—for instance, the Board of Deacons—we presume that our good friend will be found sitting conspicuously in front of the Stage, a terror to evildoors, and a praise to them that do well. Vtors and actresses will peep out from behind the scenes to know whether to give the lull nr the expurgated play ; whether they are to play to the top or to the bottom of the ethical scale. These reformatory visits to the (heater we shall not make. But our information upon the effects of the theater has been gathered from less pleasant methods— from boys made wild and ungovernable; from clerks made untrustworthy ; from apprentices made discontented and idle ; from young men initiated into vice, and men not young fatally tainted or broken down by causes which, in part, were planted or developed and nourished by the theater."—hideman pendent, May 11. Some of our readers may remember that in the May number of the Friend, we made a few editorial remarks upon this subject. The following reply came from some unknown correspondent; and although ordinarily we allow all anonymous correspondence lo pass unnoticed, still, in this instance, we shall give our correspondent's remarks a conspicuous place. The communication is imbued with an air of despondency that bespeaks anything but an argument in favor of the theater. Should any theatrical company he laying their plans to make the Islands a a visit, this letter may effectually open their eyes to the sad prospects before them ! Honolulu, May Ist, 1857. Me. Damon :—On taking hold of the Friend of this date, the first thing that at- tracted my attention was an extract headed " Charlie Backus and the Missionaries." To say that I was surprised upon reading it, would but poorly express my feelings. Having had the misfortune,to become connected with the theatrical profession, probably I am as well posted relative to the doings of Mr. Backus, in this affair, as any person in Honolulu; and I deem it my duty as a man, (all are not such that bear the human form,) to pronounce the said extract one entire tissue of falsehoods; and from my slight acquaintance with Mr. Backus, I feel satisfied that he never made use of (he language attribttied to THE FRIEND, JDL ¥, 1857. him. Let his faults be what they may, Charlie Backus has a generous heart, as several here can testify to, they having been the recipients of his charity; and so far from his leaving California in the capacity of a " supe" to a theatrical company, I will state he left California with a reputation unequalled as a negro performer, and came here with the best band of negro performers ever organized in California, and with bill one theatrical man ill his company. What success he met with here, I am not prepared to state hut, on his return to this place, I was assured that they made a complete failure in Australia, losing all they had, ami were compelled to part with their jewelry to raise means to take them to California,'// route for which they stopped here, and based the Royal Hawaiian Theater for siv. nights, for which they paid SlOO rent. They performed but one night, and had the theater been crowded to density on that occasion, the receipts would not have ; exceeded MOO. After deducting rent, printing, board, and oilier incidental expense-, 1 feel satisfied that Backus' share of the .Missionary funds would have amounted to precisely what it did—"just nothing at all." In your comments you say that it is not your intention to refute the statement. In this I think you err. There are many persons, charitably disposed, who get their information of men and things from the papers; and if an accusation of this kind is allowed to pass unquestioned, it may be productive of much harm to the poor and needy. I have invariably made it a rule to speak of men and maimers as 1 have found them, and I pledge you my word that I have endeavored to procure work, in any honorable form that would afford me a bare subsistence*; and although probably as rrnnd a mechanic as ever landed here, until of late 1 found it impossible to procure a day's work. When I would ask for employment, the Stereotyped answer was, "Oh, you area theatrical, and it would hurt my business to employ you, as the Missionaries detest all connected with the theater." Thus was I, by the inconsistency of human nature, forced to obtain a livelihood by the very means they abhorred. Too proud to beg, too honest to steal, I have wanted the bare necessaries of life. And can you still wonder "how a man that is a man," can adopt the stage as a means of obtaining a livelihood ? Tell your Christian friends, " to err is human, to forgive divine," and when they see a |>orson who is willing to forsake a calling that is despicable in their eyes, not to turn the cold shoulder to him. I have known several actors in my day that are now bright and shining luminaries in the Christian Church at home. Convinced of their errors, they renounced the profession, and mnny happy hours I have enjoyed in their society. But not wishing to intrude too much on your valuable time for the present, 1 bid you adieu, hoping hereafter the •' Plain Dealer" will state plain facts, and nothing extenuate, or set down aught, in "malice."

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

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