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.

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.

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.

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.

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. When asked his opinion, he sagely remarked, " we have made a mistake that is certain, now let us go back to Kauai!" The “Winslow.”—We regret to announce the loss of this whaleship on the night of the lSth of March. She was standing off and on, and is reported to have struck upon the reef about 8 o'clock in the evening. The day previous she was reported as leaking, and a survey was called. She has become a total wreck, and been sold for $600. The wreck occurred near the spot where the Charles Drew was lost some years ago. The “Young Hero.”—This vessel was burnt at Lahaina on Sunday night, March 14th. She was about two-and-a-half years from home, having taken between 300 and 400 barrels. The vessel was nearly new, and reported to have been in good condition, although not successful on the present voyH. Crapo. age.

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.
