Psoi. .- M THEFKIEND. AUGUST 1, 1860. Our Exchanges. In glancing over our American exchange papers, we are continually reading articles, upon almost every variety of subject, which we would gladly transfer to our columns, if our space would allow. An hundreth part of the items and articles worthy of being copied from the New York Observer, Independent, Courier and Inquirer, Boston Re- corder, Congregationalist, Sailor's Magazine, Republican Standard, and other Atlantic and California papers, regularly received by each mail, would leave us but little room to notice domestic subjects. We mention this fact, that those publishers who honor the Friend with an exchange, may not suppose their favors are not appreciated. The editors of the Medical and Surgical Reporter, a weekly, published in Philadelphia, have our sincere thanks for their journal. Alas, alas, sad is the condition of poor humanity if that journal is a correct mirror of the " ills that flesh is heir to." The reading of this journal ought certainly to have this good effect upon a man enjoying health, he will surely be led to give thanks for a healthy state of his bodily organs. What shall we say to the advice of the old physician who recommended that if you have broken one Jeg, and in setting it the limb is somewhat contracted, then your best course will be to break the other leg! In the language of Shakspeare we exclaim, " Horrible, horrible, most horrible." An old medical work contains the follow- We would acknowledge copies of the Biennial Reports of the Minister of Foreign Relations and the Secretary at War. The former shows that the Hawaiian Kingdom is sustaining the most peaceful relations with foreign nations, and the latter that this nation is not in a condition to go to war with any people. So long as this fortunate state of things remains, we are quite confident no nation will make war upon us. If a dark war cloud should arise, we feel fully persuaded that Mr. Wyllie, who has so successfully steered the helm of state for these many years, will be able still to battle with our foes, and thus put to flight the enemies of this people. A box of steel pens and abundance of foolscap, would be a far better defence than those guns, to cost $2,000, which the Prince Commander-in-Chief asks may he purchased ! We would ask the Secretary at War, if in his candid opinion, a steel pen, wielded by the Minister of Foreign Relations, would not do more execution for this people, than a Paixhan or even Armstrong gun ? 57 \m Situs, M. 37. Hospital at the Sandwich Islands. The laying of the Corner Stone of the most happily. We are not aware that any accident occurred to mar the happy impression which such an event should leave upon the public mind. At the gathering, however, we noticed the absence of the Diplomatic Representatives of some of the Great Nations at the Hawaiian Court, and upon inquiring, learned that it was occasioned by a question of etiquette relating to the relative rank of a King's Ministers and Diplomatic Agents. No possible blame, we are confident, can be attributed to nny person engaged in making the necessary arrangements for the public ceremony, Queen's Hospital passed off and hence we most sincerely regret that at the famous Congress of Vienna, in 1815, when the Potentates of Europe defined the boundaries of empires and discussed the question of official rank, they were not a little more explicit touching the relative rank of a Diplomatic Agent and a King's Minister. In the approaching Congress at St. Peterburgh, we hope this matter may be satisfactorily dispjsed of, together with that of the Sick Man," who presides over the Turkish " Empire.

" May we not hope that if their governments will not be constrained, by a rule of justice and humanity, to make gome more adequate provision for the comfort of their distressed and disabled seamen, they may, at least, be wearied by the importunity of their public agents, and thus be influenced to the measures in question. Who, knowing all the circumstances in the case, would be willing to have a brother, or a child, thrown upon the support which the English and American Governments now provide for their distrasscd subjects in these remote lands ? Do I not exrarcts the feelings ofall who hear mo, in hoping that these governments or their representatives may be induced to take some measures themselves, or allow their representatives to take them, in order to effect so desirablo an object ? And would not the blessing from the bed of many a dying sailor, come upon those who had thus perseveringly made an effort in his behalf." [The other topic to which the Rev. Mr. Diell alluded, was that of a new cemetery]. The only provision made for sick and disabled British and American Seamen, a quarter of a century ago, at Honolulu, was hire the keeper of a' grog-shop to take care of them .' A sailor in health might resort to such a place, but to send him thither when sick and dying, must have seemed rather to hard! The Consuls of England and the United States urged the establishment of Marine Hospitals, but the reply came back, " it is contrary to our policy to establish hospitals in foreign lands, and upon foreign soil." Those governments desired to employ the hospitals of foreign nations. This could not be done in any part of Polynesia, for the native governments never had built hospitals. Under these circumstances, those governments desired to make only temporary provision for their sick seamen. About twenty years ago the subject was deemed of so much importance and public sentiment called so loudly for a change of policy, that the British and American Consuls were authorized to be more liberal and thoughtful upon the matter. On our arrival at the islands, in 1842, we found American seamen provided for in a manner more becoming a great commercial nation. A temporary hospital had been fitted up, and was under the excellent management of Dr. R. W. Wood; at that time, Mr. John Munn was purveyor. British seamen, sickand disabled, were still however provided for upon premises in rear of a grog-shop. On the arrival of General Miller, the British Consul General, in 1844, the subject very soon attracted his attention, and an entire revolution was broughtabout. Being clothed with more ample authority than his predecessor in office, the General selected a spot in Pauoa Valley, as the site for a hospital, which received the name of Little Greenwich. There, British Tars were provided for, in a style that would have made the favored inmete, of Gm. Greenwich complain that to name of Little Britain. The number of insufficient to authorize the maintenance of a separate establishment, of mate." not being late years, British seamen, when sick, have been provided for nt the American Hospital, or by private parties, who were liberally paid for nursing and board. The number of sick and disabled American seamen, discharged at this port, has long compelled the American Government to maintain hospital accommodations, at whatever cost. The same remark applies to the Ports of Lahaina and Hilo. These Hospit-' als have always been under the direct control of the United States Consul. The annual cost of these hospitals has necessarily been exceedingly great, for sometimes the number of inmates at Honolulu and Lahaina has nearly reached one hundred, and some seasons even exceeded that number. To board, nurse, clothe, and provide able medical treatment for so many sick men, has become exceedingly burdensome and expensive. Report says that, the U. S. Hospitals of Honolulu, Lahaina, and Hilo, have cost the sum of over $150,000 per annum, or a sum exceeding the cost of supporting American seamen, when sick, in all other ports of the world. Really, if such is the fact, no one can say that the American Government is niggardly and mean touching the subject of Hospital provision at the Sandwich Islands. The annual expense has become so enormous, that even Un:le Sam's purse has run low, and certain bills have come back protested, because the appropriation of Congress has been exhausted. What shall be done ? Uncle Sam cannot " shut up shop," and turn poor Jack into the street. Oh, no; but he is beginning to ask, "where goes this one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ? Cannot some cheaper method be devised for taking care ofmy sick sailor-boys out there at the Sandwich Islands ?" In order to look into the matter, and report, Commissioner Borden and Commander Hunt have been appointed Commissioners to investigate the affairs of the United States Hospitals at the Sandwich Islands, and they are now engaged in the business. Report says that they are nearly through with the affair at Honolulu, and will soon proceed to Lahaina and Hilo. Touching the matter of good board, nursing, and medical attendance, in these hospitals, we do not imagine they will find much to complain of; but as to the cost, that is quite another matter, and one which the public cannot be supposed to know much about, in as much as the public is not informed what Consuls pay physicians and purveyors, neither are the details of the Consulate published to the world. If Consuls have in times past expended too much, let the President send out those who will be more trustworthy, economical and prudent. If Uncle Sam, who lives at Washington, and cannot be supposed to be as fully acquainted with all parts of the world out-side of America, as some of Brother Jonathan's sons who have roamed abroad, desires a few hint* upon this subject from a member of the universal Yankee Nation, we will furnish them, free gratis, and for nothing: " Hereafter, Uncle Sam, your best', cheapest and most satisfactory course will be, to instruct your Consul at Honolulu, to send your sickand disabled sailorsto the Queen's Hospital. Employ the hospital of this country for your sick sailors, as you do the hospitals of England or France. We are no [longer an uncivilized and barbarous people, destitute of churches, courts, hospitals, prisons, and the other elements of a civilized and christian community. You must know (for you read the New York Observer, Journal of Com- merre, Tribune, Herald, and Boston Recorder,) that a great change has passed over tho_ civil, social and roligious aspect of affairs in this part of the world, during the last few years. We go to meeting on Sunday, work during the week, pay our taxes, go to elections, educate our children, and otherwise conduct as becomes aa civilized General people. We have lately established An account of laying Hospital in Honolulu. rend in our newspapers, the corner stone you may printed in English.

'Society,' he broad enough, but strip us distinctions makes ' of our artificial robes, and we are all one and equally naked and equally exposed to the keen blasts of want and torments of disease.' Read that speech. The King reasons like a Puritan preacher of Now England. Let me say to you, Uncle Sam, that some of Brother Jonathan's sons are among the Trustees of the Queen's Hospital. They have freely given their money for as its erection, and you may be sure it will be well manage as any similar institution in Boston, New York, or Washington. It was not got up as a money-making concern, but from motives of pure philanthropy. If you, or any member of your family, desire additional information respecting the Queen's Hospital, as a fit, proper and suitable place for American seamen, when sick, I will refer you to your Commissioner, Mr. Borden, the Missionaries, or, if you'll drop a line to the Editor of the Friend, he will reply, by the sailing of next mail-packet for San Francisco."

The Brethren responded— " Amen—So mote It be—Amen." The ceremony of laying the Corner Stone was then closed by again giving the Public Grand Honors of Masonry. His Majesty now rose and delivered the following address in English : The Queen's Hospital, established for tho relief and comfort of the indigent sick, has already taken its place among the prominent institutions of our country. Founded, as it mainly was, by individual charity, its existence bears honorable evidence to the feeling with which this community regards the necessities of its humblermembers at the time when they are least able to express their wants. Contributions towards the support of a hospital,are declarations ofkindness aforethought, and of a long sighted policy oflove toward those who need other hands than their own, to smooth theirrestless pillows. The means at our disposal are not drawn forth by the sight of any particular case that shocks and haunts us. We do not offer up our alms as a prayer to God, that He will save us personally from such anguish as we see before us, but quietly and with unshaken nerves we provide against misery that needs must be, though we see nothing of it. In a word, there was nothing spasmodic or fitful in the feeling which prompted those who assisted in the establishment of the Queen's Hospital. What their hearts suggested, their judgment recommended, and they acted because they knew what sufferings, so far as human fore-knowledgo can calculate, are in store. To alleviate these latter, —these miseries that are to be—was their end and aim, though they even who assisted to afford the relief, before that relief could be administered, had themselves passed beyond the pale of this world's suffering ; and, let me ask, whatnobler legacy could man devise than to be virtually oil into the wounded flesh when his own Souring ash has gone beyond the physician's skill, and turned to dust and ashes? Writhing in the agonies of dissolution, such a benefactor to his race might smile to think that some being unknown to him might find one hour'srespite from pain, or even escape a premature death, involving perhaps the death of many others' hopes, by means of prescient sympathy on his part. On an occasion such as this, it becomes me, the Sovereign of these Islands, to express, in the name of my people, the sense of gratitude with which the liberalityand fellow-feeling of those who helped to establish the Queen's Hospital have filled their hearts and mine. Ignorant as some of them are, and still more or less possessed of prejudices which they have inherited, they may fail, for the present, fully to appreciate the service that you have rendered tbem ; but I feel assured that the time will soon arrive when those prejudices will cease to exist. Already we see passing away the misgivings of those who doubted that a hospital would ever be resorted to by pure Hawaiian*. The trial has been made, and it has succeeded, not perhaps to a wish, but beyond our expectations. Therefore it is, that in the name of the Hawaiian people, of humanity, and of that char ity which levels all ranks and sets all distinction at naught, I tender my hearty thanks to those who have assisted in this enterprise. In the name of the wretched and miserable, I thank you. In the name of the otherwise sleepless, I pray you may be at ease, and in the name of the dying, who die more painlessly for what you have dons, I desire from the bottom of my heart, that long years of happiness may be in store for yen. But let me remind you that so long as sickness shall exist, there will be a duty fapessd upon us. Charities, like taxes for the tsasnrawiwealth, have to be met from time to time. There is no commuting for a given sum, »nd claiming exemption �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1860. 60 for all time to come. You give according to your means for the time being.

Ido not envy the man who would wish (if such u thing were possible) to pay at one inxuilmeYit all the cUiiire of humanity. There is something wholesoinu in being called upon from time to time to acknowledge, however strong our own health may he, and however prosperous our fortunes, that, after all, the destitute and the sick are our brothers aud sisters—our lot happier for the time being, but our liability to want and suffering the same. This it is that makes us human, and members of the human family. Society makes distinctions bro-td enough, but strip us of our artificial robes, and we are one and all equally naked and equally exposed to the keen winds of want and the torments of disease. I trust, therefore, and indeed 1 feel confident, that you will continue your support to this praiseworthy institution. Since the hospital was established in the month of August last year, some fifteen hundred different cases have been treated. The proportion of deaths has been small, and no doubt some even of those deaths might have been prevented had the patients made earlier application for relief. As the institution becomes better known the sick will doubtless resort to it while their maladies are in the incipient stages and therefore more susceptible of cure. Already however, you have enough to be proud of. Already you have decreased the average of suffering, if only in a slight degree. Even now you may say that, underDivine Providenoe, you have been instrumental in saving human life. There are persons moving among us, some perhaps here present, who but for your charity would never have lived to see this duy. But it were needless for me to detain you upon this theme. Your own hearts that prompted you to assist while the scheme was still an experiment, will teach \ou to rejoice, and to further exert your benevolence, now thut your aspirations are crowned with success ; particularly, will you rejoice on this day which sees us met together to lay the corner stone of a solid building, which to yourselves will be an earnest of the permanency of the labor of love to which you have lent yourselves, while to a future generation, it will be a monument to your memory, which will proclaim you for many years to come to have been, in your generation, benefactors of the human race. The above noble and truly beatiful sentiments, such Royal acknowledgement for himself and his people, fell like dew on the hearts of his hearers,and will be recorded on high, where the only distinction, between the King and the peasant, will be the goodness of heart that guided them here. So deeply moved, so hushed in rapt nttention. were the audience, that one might have heard the fall of a feather; and ore the sound n Imost had died away, one gentleman (J. T.

Damon gave the closing benediction, and the affair was over, the Corner Stone (one of white sand stone from Wnianae) laid, and the building is now progressing, a monument of the public liberality of this community and of the thoughtful love for their people of his Majesty the King and his noble hearted Queen, after whom it is called.

We were in S. lat. 28 ° 2 and Lon 157 ■ , when it was decided to come here. I think we were then about 3000 miles from Honolulu, and 2600 from Sydney. We could not go anywhere for want of wind, from the 3d of February until the night of the 6th, when we got the east trades, and got on well until the night of the 9th. We had a heavy thunder storm and rain. It continued until the next day, and from that time the wind continued favorable until we landed in this harbor, 2d of March; we remained at anchor until the 7th." From another letter, written by Mrs. Whitjney, and dated April 3d, we copy as follows : M Here we are, just landed on the opposite aide of the Bay, preparatory to being The John Williams Nobly Freighted. We copy the following from a letter re- cently received from the Rev. Mr. Howe, Missionary of the London Miss. Society at few vessels have gone home " Probably with such treasures as the John Willaden liams bears this voyage. The Rev. Geo. Turner, of Samoa, has a prepared copy of the entire Scriptures in that language, with marginal references, to put through the press. The Rev.'Geo. Gill has a prepared copy for a second edition, to which will be added marginal references in the Rarotongan, and the Rev. A. Chisholm is taking home a prepared copy for a third edition, wiih marginal references for Tahiti. And the Rev. J. Inglis, of Anaitum, New Hebrides, is taking home the New Testament, to be printed in that language." A very curious Numismatic discovery, in the shape of a coin of the Emperor Gslba, has been recently made in the County of Limerick, near Manister. The coin was deep in the ground, and must have lain there many years, How it got there was a question for the antiquaries. It bears on the obverse a spirited Ajfflief of the Emperor's burly bust, the representations we have of exactly him in tfc)e works on coins, and on the reverse the figure of Liberty, with the word "Libertas." Several words are erased. The CS is quite plain and perfect. �61 fHE FRIEND,AUGUST, I Ml. Correspondence of the Friend The Friend—"Mother's Paper." Honolulu, July 5, 1860. Dear Sir :—Some twelve months since, thinking what I could tend home ns an acceptable present to an aged mother, I ordered you to forward to her a copy of your little paper. In wiiting to her subsequently, I never mentioned that I had done this, nor was I ever advised, until my letters from an old New-England fireside, received the last mail from the United States, that she had received any of the numbers. Permit me now, to acknowledge your attention to my request, and quote from the letter of advice the following, which, although complimentary, I trust you will receive in good part, for it is rarely that a prophet receives honor in his own country: " The papers you send us from Honolulu are duly received, but you appear to be such a terrible set of wranglers, in your Pacific Islands, we hardly know which to believe, the Polynesian or the Advertiser. What naughty things you must be doing, to judge by what the Advertiser informs us—and what nice people the Government folks are, if we can trust to the Polynesian. Mother never reads these papers, but when Father brings all the papers home, she asks for the Friend, and we never get it until she is done reading it. We have, therefore, given it the name of ' Mother's Paper,' and by that affectionate title it is called by us all." With the simple narrative of a fact, which, Mr. Editor, you know is a good deal like a jackass, a rather stubborn arrangement, and requesting that you will keep me. on your list as a perpetual subscriber, believe me not only your sincere friend, but a gratified " Elder Son." [Sy We commend this letter of an " Elder Son" to the careful perusal of our readers. We hope others may be thereby encouraged to subscribe 'for our paper, and we shall be most happy to furnish the same regularly to their Mothers, or Sisters or Friends.—Ed. Friend.] Letter from Rev. E. P. Roberts, at Ascension. Ponape, March, 10th, 1860. Rev. S. C. Damon : Dear Bro.—One ship, the Magnolia, and one brig, are in Ponotik harbor at the present time. The ship goes directly to New Zealand, but the brig goes to Ebon, and thence, I think, to Oahu. I have written you several times this winter, but since writing I have received a package of the Friend, which will be faithfully distributed. I have very much needed gome such reading to distribute among seamen the past season. Sailors often inquire for reading matter, and I about as often rob my private library to supply them. It hardly need be told you, that a sailor will read something, either good or bad, if he cun read at all. One sailor, an " old salt," told me he had some papers he had read over and over many times. 1 am sorry to say that they were papers not as good as the Friend. The Friend is often called for, and I lend my copy. 1 wish I was able to pay for 20 copies for our whaling fleet. I consider it an excellent paper for seamen. Now and then a bound volume might be sold. You may send me n few bound volumes to sell, and I will of course be responsible to you for them. Portuguese books and bibles are wanted ; also English books; we have English bibles and testaments in supply. We have just made a visit to our good Kittie friends, and are very thankful for the privilege of making a journey now and then, even if it be by perils of land and sea. At our last visit, Mr. Sturges read to us a letter he had received from a Mr. Lasee, (Lacy ?) who and his wife were wrecked on Raten Island. It was one of the most thrilling narratives I ever heard. As he is intending to send you the letter, I forbear furtherremarks. The letter shows that there is enough of reality in this world of Providence to interest, instruct and satisfy every faculty of the soul, without any pampering with dreams and fancies of the intellect. Would that men would deal in realities as rational, accountable beings ; and that such writers as Mrs. Stowe would lend a hand, on the side of truth, and not of fiction. March, 30.—Since writing the above, a brig from Sydney, loaded with coal, for Shanghai, has entered Ponotik harbor, and is expecting to leave to-morrow. I shall send this by her, in hopes that it may reach you Japanese and American Physicians. An interesting interview occurred, a few days since, between Dr. Hills, ant of the Columbus (O.) Lunatic Asylum and the physicians to the Japanese Embassy. The followinc colloquy took place: Dr. Hill—How many insane persona have you in Japan ? Very few. Have you separate hospitals for them We have four hospitals in Jeddo for the tick, with separate wards for the insane. Do you use force or violence in their management ? We do not, but have strong rooms and guards. Do you ever bleed insane patients 1 Never. Are idiots and lunatics kept in the same hospitals ? They are, but in different wards; we have but few—not more than twenty in all; there may be s une in private hospitals. How many sick do you average in your hospitals? From five to eight hundred, but all poor. Here the Japanese doctors became interrogators, and inquired : Have you many insane ? Dr. Hill—We have three hundred in my hospital. How many of these are insane? All. This reply astonished the inquisitors, who raised their hands, and looked at each other. What medicines do you use / Wines, qui- ' nine and other stimulants. Have you hospitals for dumb and blind ? Yes. but separate. Have you medical gardens ? None of importance. The Japanese here remarked that they would like to get the seed of our plants of every description for the imperial gardens of Jeddo, and they were informed these would be furnished them by the National Agricultural Society. They were also told that they would have nn opportunity to inspect the Asylum of the Insane before leaving Washington, which appeared to gratify ihem very much.— Med.and Surg.

In the course of the two months I have spent upon these islands, it*hns been sny good fortune to be the guest of many of the mission families, and to become more or less acquainted with nearly all of them. And, beside fidelity in the discharge of their duties to the natives, I can truly say that in point of intelligence and general information, of solicitude and painstaking for the liberal education of their children, and of zeal for the acquirement of information of every sort, it would be difficult to find their superiors among the most favored families at home. I have seen in their houses collections of minerals, shells, plants, flowers, which must be valuable to science, and the missionaries have often preserved the best, sometimes the only records ofthe volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and other phenomena and metereological observations. Besides having given, as I have said, to the native langnage an alphabet, grammar, dictionary,and literature, they have done nearly all that has been done to preserve the national traditions, legends, and poetry. But for the Missionaries, it is my firm belief that the Hawaiian would never have been a written language; there would have beefh few or no trustworthy early records, historical or scientific; the traditions would have perished; the native government would havebeen overborne by foreign influences, and the interesting, intelligent, gentle native race would have sunk into insignificance, and perhaps into servitude to the dominant whites. A Mate Learning a Better Way.—The following extract from a letter will explain itself. Can any one read it and then ask "Is it of any use to labor for the conversion of sailors ?" It was written by the Ist officer of a large ship who left this port a few months since on his first voyage after his conversion. "Of my own experience I could say much, for the Lord has dealt with me very kindly. Many captains think it very necessary, to have a mate who can take care of the men,' which means flogging' them. I cannot tell you how thankful I am that the Lord has taught m3abetter way. I find that the law of love works far better than the law of brute force and hard words. Oh how sweet to have an arm of power and love to lean upon in every moment of danger and temptation. As the evenings come round for your meetings 1 feel strengthened by knowing that sailors are remembered in prayer. If Christians only knew the force of those bad influences that surround sailors in port, and what even the worst of them sometimes think and feel when at sea away from these temptations, they would have more sympathy for them when on shore. Should the Lord spare me to return, I hope through grace to be able to give a good account of myself and of the crew."— Portland Mirror.
