In the January number of the Friend for 1859, will be found the narrative of four natives of Lifu, an island of the Loyalty Group in the South Seas. The natives were taken to Ascension, Micronesia, and from thence brought by Capt. Thompson, of the China, to Honolulu, in the autumn of 1858, and taken hence to Rarotonga by Capt. Manchester, of the Morea. A letter just received from Rev. George Gill, of Rarotonga, furnishes the following intelligence: "The four natives brought by Capt. Manchester, duly arrived. They are natives of Lifu. An interesting account of that island and people you will find in the Gems of the Coral Islands.' As soon as our young men heard that there were four Lifuans on board, they were anxious to receive them, and in a day or two, got a pretty comfortable house put up for them on the hittitution premises. We shall feel it a sacred duty to care for them. We shall expect the John Williams here next June, and shall put them in charge of our esteemed captain, who will convey them to their own home. Many thanks to Captain Thompson, of the China, who treated them so generously and christianly. Providence does indeed very often open methods and ways very unexpectedly for us to do good. We have had a mission on Lifu for some years past." The Rev. Mr. Gill visited Lifu in July, 1958, in*company with the Rev. Mr. Stall- ' worthy. They were sent to visitall the mission stations during the cruise of the John Williams. They found laboring upon the island six Samoan and three Rnrotonga teachers, but no European missionaries. In a late letter from the Key. Mr. Howe of Tahiti, we are glad to learn that two English missionaries have just arrived, and will be located on the Island of Lifu. The Case of Plumer, Again. In our last number we stated that the senof Plumer had been commuted for imprisonment for life in the Charlestown State Prison. We also stated that this result had been brought about mainly through Dr. C. F. Winslow's efforts in Plumer's behalf. We have been permitted to read a private letter from Dr. Winslow, received since the issue tence of our last number, and from it we copy as follows: You may perceive that I have been interested to save the life of Plumer, and by the help of God and a large number of mankind have succeeded. I don't believe any man ever lived around whom a darker plot and stranger net work of circumstances have been woven than around that erring but generous fellow. It is my deliberate opinion that no sailor ought to be subject to the severest penalty of the law for engaging in a mutiny, when the discontent is fomented by a cabin officer, and connived at and stimulated by artful intrigues into mutiny and seizure of ship or master, for his own selfish objects. Then again, it is equally my deliberate opinion that no man should be hung on false testimony. Then again, it is my deliberate opinion that one man should not be selected for execution when all in the ship, except three or four, were guilty of the same act and complicated in it. This would be destructive ofall justice and an outrage upon all law. Then again, when a man is not a ringleader and did not do a murder, (as Plumer was not and did not this, 1 knoiv,) he ought not to be selected and hung for it, merely because he was a smart, bright fellow, " 73 \m Serifs, Vol. ill after troubles were over. Then again, even if a young man of twenty-one years was led off by bad counsels of his superiors and promises and bribes tc engage in a plot without intent to take life, and life was taken by others, and not by himself, and all fatal events were unpremeditated by him, and then when called to act of himself and of his own independent will and energy, he saved life and property and protected officers, I say it as my own deliberate conviction, that young man ought to have his errors and offenses forgiven him for his noble afterthoughts and bold courageous conduct and risks to his own lifs, and ought not to be hunted down, &c., dec. But above all, it has seemed to me that it would be most unsafe and disastrous to the safety and lives of officers hereafter for the only humane man in a ship, who dared to risk his life to save officers and foreigners and property, to be executed and sacrificed to the rigor of the law. For if so.what sailor, however humane and anxious to save life, would dare to interpose when he remembered Plumer's fate ? &c., Ace. These are my reasons, and many more, for my great interest in the whole whaling fleet, and for all time to come to be firm as a mountain in this and about this man, who was a complete stranger to me till after his trial and conviction. But I have fought the fight and won the victory through the help of God and my faith in his justice and the goodness of mankind." found in command of the ship We would acknowledge a full file of the British Messenger, published by Peter Drummond, Esq., Stirling, Scotland. Also, a donation of £10 worth of the publications of the Religious Tract Society, London ; a donation of 100 prayer books of the Episcopal Church of United States, from the " Homily and Prayer Society of New York." We would acknowledge a large bundleof books from the Rev. Mr. Armstrong, of Honolulu,for gratuitous distribution among seamen. �THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1859. 74 Sailors should write Home. We cannot find language to express our disapprobation of those seamen who will not, when in port, write to their friends. We should be sorry to see a sailor " seized up" and severely punished, still if he was seized up and his mother stood by to lay on the blows for not writing home, we should not shed many tears. By the last mail we received a letter from the mother of a sailor in the Pacific, in which she earnestly entreats us to look for her absent son, who has not written home for years. These are her words addressed tn us : " Will you be kind enough, when the ship comes in, to give him a few lines which I will put into your letter? If alive or dead, when the ship comes, whatever information you have of him, please send it to me, to ease mij aching heart and worried miml.'' To her son, this is her language : " My dear son, if you only knew the uneasiness and sorrow of mind that yen have caused me, you would have written, if only two or three Words, to say 'lam well' or I am alive,' that would ease my mind so that I would not have thought you had forgotten her who taught you to lisp the name of mother. You have anxious minds, and loving hearts at home." That reamer) may have no possible excuse for not writing home while in port, we would hereby notify all seamen visiting the port of Honolulu, that if they will call at the Depository of the Sailor's Home, they will there be furnished with pen, ink, paper and envelopes, gratis. They will find the Reading Room a convenient place to write. Henceforth we hope no anxious mother will be compelled to ask her roving son if he has forgotten her who taught him to lisp the name of mother ! ' A Hint. We see reported unusually large numbers of native passengers on board schooners returning from the windward islands. Report says they are visiting Honolulu and Lahaina to spend the shipping season. It is not to be supposed that all come for bad purposes, or that all come for good purposes. We do hope that our authorities and " City Fathers" will keep a sharp lookout for the daughters of Hawaii, who are resorting to our seaoorts. Let effectual measures be taken to ■end them back if it be found that they are friendless, or are visiting the large towns for immoral purposes. Let the police visit certain localities. Let every house of ill fame be closed, and made tabu. If native women are found living with persons who are not their husbands, let the law take its course. Much may be done to purify the city.

This declaration of our Savior has been often verified in the history of the preaching of the Gospel. The Gospel meets the case of the chief of sinners. Zaccheus, the publican, and Mary Magdelene, were welcome to partake of all the blessings of tin- Gospel. Strange as it may seem to the unreflecting mind, the most abandoned and profligate often find fewer obstacles in approaching the cross of Christ, than the moral, correct, respectable and those somewhat religious in their turn of mind. The one class see and feel their lost condition, and when the Gospel offer ismade known, they embrace it as the drowning man grasps the rope thrown for his rescue ; while the other, feeling secure and apprehending no present danger, put off, and defer the consideration of the subject to a more convenient season. We have been led to indulge in the foregoing reflections from reading the letter of a correspondent, now an undergraduate in Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. After furnishing some interesting statements, relating to the thorough scholarship and encouraging religious prospects of that oldest of American universities and " pet school" of the old Puritans, he remarks as follows, re- :— specting the late awakening " In Boston the effects of the great revival of 1858 are still apparent. The business men's prayer meetings, at 8 A. M., and noon daily, are well attended and full of interest. But the most wonderful work of the Spirit has been among the vilest and most degraded. One meeting will answer as a sample of the whole. Last evening I went with a friend to a prayer meeting in the northern part of the city. where it was held, was a few months ago, one of the lowest dance halls in the city—a resort for the vilest of both sexes. The Rev. Phineas Stowe, pastor of the Baptist Bethel, noticed the situation of the hall, and judging it a good location for , Tahiti.—We would acknowledge the reception of a newspaper published at Papeete in the Tahitian, English and French languages. It contains an interesting account of a general festival throughout the island in honor of the French Emperor. A private correspondent writes as follows, under date of August 29th : " No public house was allowed to be open during the three days of the fete, between 1 in the afternoon and 8 in the morning, and a heavy fine was attached to the sale of anything to the natives during the hours allowed to be open. The chiefs too in their various districts, fearing that the revival of old customs might also revive old animosities, agreed with their people that any one known to be drunk should be tied up and kept so until the fete was over. The excellent regulations aided much the desires of the thoughtful and sober part of the population, in keeping that excellent order named, and which could hardly have been equaled in any part of the old countries where so many people were congregated together. Raiatea.—The missionary bark John Williams brought out from England the Rev. Geo. Piatt, who had been home on a visit. He has been a missionary in the South Seas for 42 years, yet, writes our correspondent, "he appears to have the stamina of several years labor in him yet." Rarotonga.—The Rev. Mr. Krause, a German, under the patronage of the London Missionary Society, who was formerly stationed at Huahine, is now to be located at Rarotonga. He visited Honolulu two or three years since. Loyalty Island.—Two new English missionaries have been sent out for the Loyalty Islands, where there has hitherto been only native missionaries preaching the Gospel. They will be stationed upon the island of Lefu. Rev. Mr. Creagh (son-in-law of the excellent missionary Buzzacot, formerly of Rarotonga,) occupies the island of More. �TH I FRIEND.

This first class clipper ship, Captain Johnson, left San Francisco, bound for China, with 175 Chinese passengers, on the 10th September, and when five days out was discovered to be on fire. Everything was done which the circumstances would permit for extinguishing the flames, but they spread so rapidly that in a few moments it was clearly manifest that the vessel must burn, and the passengers must betake themselves to their Most providentially, at this critical moment, the British ship Achilles, bound for Sydney, loaded with wheat, sailed within a short distance of the burning vessel. Arrangements were immediately made for the transfer of the passengers and treasure. In the language of C. C. Harris, Esq., a pasboats for safety. senger on board the Mastiff, the result is thus stated : "It is rare, if not indeed unprecedented, that in such a scene as that above sketched so few casualties occur. The loss of but one life, and that from a cause entirely independent of any one except himself, and the fact that no accident happened to the boats either in leaving the burning, or coming alongside the sailing ship, is quite remarkable." The passengers and crew of the Mastiff were all received on board the Achilles, and treated in the most hospitable and generous manner. Nearly all the treasure, amounting to over $SO,OOO, was also saved. Passengers and treasure were brought in safety to Honolulu. A Court of Admiralty awarded the ship Achilles $7,500 as salvage, and said vessel has already sailed for Sydney. It was surely the high privilege of the Captain and crew of that vessel to render acts of humanity that will be long remembered. We learn that the Chinese passengers rescued from the Mastiff have already engaged their passage for China per American ship Eliza d* Ella. Among the passengers on board the ill-fated H.

Addresses.—Most associations when desirous of a public address, look abroad for some talented speaker, but the Dashaways have no occasion to go out of their own order for s]>eakers. Since the publication of our last number, Messrs. Ingraham, McDulfee and Woodman have delivered addresses. The address of Capt. McDuffee was repeated by special request, and portions of it have been published in the Polynesian. We understand that another member of the Society will deliver an address next Saturday evening. We bespeak for Mr. Irwin a full house, for we are fully confident he will present something worthy of the attention of the public. We shall be glad to see a good representation of shipmasters, officers and seamen. The following are the officers of the Society: A. Potter, President. i\. K'Goi.s, Vice-President. G. W. Mills. Secretary. Capt. Oat, Treasurer. The Hesperian—For August, hasbeen received. This is a monthly publication, edited by Mrs. P. Day, of San Francisco. Each number contains the protrait of some pioneer on the Pacific coast. The number now lying upon our table we have read with much delight. We hope this periodical will be well sustained, for in a few years the amount of historical information gathered up by its industrious editor will be exceedingly valuable. The September number will contain the portrait of our fellow townsman, Captain John Paty, now commanding the Fra/tres Palmer. Captain Paty's portrait should be accompanied by an engraving of the old Don Quixotte, which he commanded for so many years upon the coast of California and trading between the coast and the islands. Through the kindness of Capt. Neil of the Lewis, we are most happy to acknowledge the reception of three packages of books in the languages of the natives of the South Seas. This supply embraces Bibles, Pilgrim's Progress, hymn books, &c,, fee,, for distribution among the natives of the South Seas who visit Honolulu on board American whale ships. This supply is very opportune, and was forwarded by the Key. George Gill of Rarotonga. We would also acknowledge a copy of " Gems from the Coral Islands," in two volumes. This work embraces a most complete account of the islands in the South Seas. We prize the book exceedingly. In our last we noticed No. 1 of the Pacific Expositor. Nos. 2 and 3 have been received. We are pleased with their contents. Their reading will lead to a careful perusal of the Bible and love for its truths. We are glad to learn that Dr. Scott finds that the Expositor takes well among the people of California. May it become a " permanent institution" on the Pacific coast. Some months ago ourattention was arrested by reading the short, pithy and sensible paragraphs going the rounds of the newspapers, and copied from Hall's Health Journal, published in New York. We have recently received The Fireside Monthly, edited by the same Dr. Hall. This is a fine publication, full of articles upon such subjects as we cannot know too much about. It contains many useful hints about every-day matters; and if a young man or woman should read its pages from month to month, they will learn what becomes a sensible gentlemen or well-bred lady.

Probably " Heretics" was thinking at the time of the statement of Sismondi, Historic dcs Fraiicais, XVI: " A new language, said a monk from the pulpit, has been discovered, which is called the Greek. It must be carefully avoided. This language is the mother of all heresies. I see in the hands of many a book written in that tongue; it is called the New Testament. It is a book full of briars and vipers. As for the Hebrew, those who learn it immediately become Jews." This, we have reason to believe, was the sentiment of the fifteenth century at Rome. In the commencement of the sixteenth century, when the Vulgate was placed between the Hebrew text and the Greek text in the famous Bible of Alcala, Cardinal Ximenes said that it was Christ betwixt the two thieves. I have nothing to say as to the Cardinal's consistency ia permitting the Hebrew and the Greek to appear in that famous polyglot when he regarded them as thieves (catrones); neither do I know with how much less favor he would regard a heretic than a thief; but I think that Heretics" was not far out of the way when he said that " the Greek is a heretical language at Rome." " Ai.io.uis. Italian War Ended.—While the public were expecting to hear of new engagements in Italy between the allied armies and the Austrians, after the terrible battle of Solferino, news arrived that an armistice had been concluded between the two Emperors, which was soon followed by a " treaty of peace," signed at Villafranca, July 11. An Italian confederation is to be formed under the hot.o- Paris. The principal English journals censure the terms of peace, considering that the war has been waged to no practical purpose. Balloons in War.—In order to improve all advantages an expedient was adopted, which is not new indeed, but which appears now under quite dilfercnt circumstances. The brothers Goddard, of aeronautic repute, who came out some time ago provided with their best apparatus, made on a recent afternoon their first experiment at Castelnedolo. One of them made an ascent in a -mall bnlloon to explore the position of the enemy beyond the China. Having first mounted on the campanile to take the bearings, and make himself somewhat acquainted with the country, he entered his little skiff, and went up in the air with a regularity which, according to those who saw the ascent, showed he was master of his eccentric conveyance. He rose to a height of from 500 to 700 yards, stopped for a minute or so, and then descended again with as much regularity as he had shown in ascending. As you remember, under Napoleon I. attempts were made to acquire information of the enemy's position by these means; but, in the then state of aeronautic experience, not much could be made of these means. Now, aeronauts pretend to have succeeded in regulating the movements of their balloons with tolerableaccuracy, and certainly the many successful ascents seem proof of a certain proficiency.

Prom that narrative wo glean the following summary of facts, which we are confident will he read with interest by many of our readers The John Williams sailed on her first voyage from England in 1844. She has made nine voyages. She is tho largest missionary vessel in the Pacific—probably in the world ; and the work assigned her is greater, even beyond the excess of her tonnage, than that of almost any other vessel engaged in the same work. For, first, she starts from England,and every third or fourth year returns thither. On her outward voyage, she is generally quite lull of passengers, her own stores, supplies lor the missionaries and teachers, paper and other printing and binding materials, and Bibles and other books. On her return voyage, she takes to England, for education, between twenty and thirty chiidren of the missionaries, with perhaps two or three missionaries and their wives, whom sickness, the care of tho children on the voyage, and other reasons, compel to proceed homo. She also conveys many hundred pounds value, in cash or island produce, the proceeds of the sales of books, and voluntary contributions in aid of the Society's funds. Secondly, on entering the Pacific, the John Williams calls at some colonial ports, particularly Sydney, where she prepares for her cruise among the islands, and takes on board any goods the missionaries may have ordered from that market. That port then becomes the center of her movements, and before again leaving the Pacific for Europe, she returns there for repairs, recruits, and supplies for the missions, either once or twice, according as her absence form England is for three or four years. Thirdly, her main circuit in the Pacific, which extends from Sydney to Tahiti, is very considerable. And fourthly, her deviations from the regular line of her circuit, in conveying and visiting our missionories and teachers are very : i, OCTOBER, 1859. eral of them three times. Seven islands not actually visited by her, receive large benefits from her. The aggregate population of these forty-four islands is about 100,000, in which total 20,000 heathen are included. Twenty. thn i- missionaries labor in those islands, the extreme stations occupied by them being 3,000 miles apart. Forty Karotongan and Suvnoan missionary teachers are stationed in what are to them foreign lands, .">()() miles, and some of them more than "000 miles, from their homes, Must nf those missionaries and teachers have wives and children, The salety, health, comfort and usefulness of all those parties is intimately dependent on the John Williams. Those laborers are aided by inure than 300 li'uehers, who are regularly appointed to the caro of villages or districts in their native islands nr groups. One result of the operations of these various laborers is the formation of churches, in which .-in- gathered an aggregate of about 7000 members. One glory of the Jo/tn Williams is, that she knows no sectional distinctions in the great work in which she is employed, Aid as far as possible all who "love outLord Jesus Christ in sincerity" in their efforts to diffuse the Gospel, is her motto, Her missionaries belong to various denominations, and four ofthe above number are not connected with the London Missionary Society. Eight other islands were formerly visited by the John Williams or the Camden, or by missionary agents sustained by those vessels; on two nl which converts were made, and the light of truth still shines. It should be remembered, that the visits of the John 117/- : I'm/us are not mere calls or explorations wherever she touches she leaves some substantial benefit, in the form of teachers or missionaries, supplies for the support of such agents, or books or other materials adapted to enlighten the people and to promote tho efficiency of the mission. At every place her boats are lowered, and during'each year she easts anchor from fifteen to twenty times. The vigilance and care of her captain and officers, and the attention and tabor of her cn-w, are in constant requisition. Intercourse with tribes so various, many of them degraded and cruel, though possessing features of interest, calls lor much tact and prudence on the part ol those on board) tests their powers of forbearance, and sometimes exposes them to dangers. Many prayers ascend to God from England, the Australian Colonies, and the islands, for the safety of the vessel and all on hoard of her, as well as for the success of her mission; and the fact that, though for fourteen years she has been employed generally in thn ailing her way among the islands of the Pacific, and though she has been in great danger ol total wreck, and several times last aground, no serious injury has been sustained by her, or by any on board, may properly be regarded as an answer to those prayers, and as a remarkable display of the care exercised over her by Divine Providence. : A OusVaXJIBU Plavkk.—Tho following paragraph, copied from mi eastern paper, will be interesting to Captain Silva was nn old ninny of our readers. whafeman, well kaown In this part of Hie world.— : He lelt Honolulu Inst fill mi n liuiaeaeid cruise 'I'lie shin Atlantic which ha* been fating at Hew Bedford since lur arrival on the attth .lime, tor a pretended whaling voyage, lot which has been buspetted of not being exactly in that line of Hitinrtfj wuson Thundav laet taken in ehargi by United States officers, upon iiiliii-iiiiitioii lodged in Huston, by parties residing in New York. The Atlantic, which Ion! been in the stream lor several days, finishing lending and taking in water, cleared for the Indian Ocean, was towed to the Lower harbor and was to proceed to sea that morning, having waited, as it has been teen, for tome passenger! who were bound to l-'aynl, where the ship was to touch. Ker officers and crew were nil on board* The Atlantic is a snip of G.l.i tons, was built in 1886,and is owned by hcrcouiiiiuiidcr, t'apt. Francis ,1.

Maciet, master and owner of the ship Comoro, brougbt to this port from Huston, and now titling lur a whaling voyage, Tin- Atlantic was formerly a whaler from New London, but Ims lately been engaged in tbe nierobaat service out of New York. Oapt Bilva was formerly master of ship Oov. Troup, of New Bedford. The matter remains in " abeyance* From the N. I>. Stand trd we ham that the Allontir waesupposed to have been purchased, together with the ship Comoro, in behalf of a Havana firm, I'er the slave trade. She was to be discharged immediately, in order that she might be searched. The FieldBT.-wtoaAhgrlanepr correspondent, writing from Brescia on 24th June, reports a fact which has not hitherto transpired, concerning the Beientifio appliance of electricity to war purposes. It would appeal that tho remarkable precision and unity of the French evolutions were accomplished by a quite novel sort of flying aide-de-camp. From each corps, once in a position, a horseman rode oil' to the next division, unrolling on his rapid course, a light wire, which no time was lost in adapting to a Geld apparatus ; and the process was repeated all alone; the French line of twulvo miles. Hence ilie movement of the whole army waa known and regulated like clock-work, " from dawn to dewy eve." on that decisive day. Tills arrangement had been planned in I'aris, and a supply of gutta perclia-coverod metal thread forwarded with secrecy and dispatch. It haß done its work, and the patent may now bo disclosed. Portable galvanism bents portable gas. It was already known to both armies that a special telegraphic corps operated in the rear of the Allies, and laid wire as fast as an advance was nude. M. Lair is the chief engineer, and the first Frenchman who entered Novara, while the Auttrians were scarce yet out of it, was IM. Uantbier, of that staff, who set up his box and telegraphed the details of the retreating corps at the moment they were outside the gates. Lonato, Montechiaro and Castiglione were in instant communication with Brescia and Milan when evacuated by the foe on 23d Jam. Naval.—Honolulu has been, this year, an unusually long time without a man-of-war in port. Now, however, the charm is broken, and as tho busy sousou ha* commenced, we may expect, tieforo long, to see the flags of several war vessels flying in our harbor. Recently His French Imperial Majesty's corvette Coin-luittinv arrived, nuil a salute of twentyone cannon, given and returned, reminded the Honolulu people of old times.
