In sketching our notices of the missionstations, we shall commence with that of Ronokiti, where the' Rev. Mr. Sturges has been laboring since 1852. Caroline Islands. Ronokiti.—This station is upon the island of Ascension. Our letters from the Rev. Mr. Sturges were dated November 14,1861, and August 2d and 4th, 1862. We copy as follows t "November 14th, 1861.—1 hove regularly visited the Shalong station monthly, race the Morning Star left. All is quiet. The chiefs and people have respected the property. Nothing has been disturbed, and I went among them with the greatest pruat Shalong does dencj. The little church well. Jaomautou is one of the noblest of men—he is a christian. It is my purpose to visit them as often as once a month this year, but the journey is a wearing one, and then how little good can be done by a short visit. They much need some one to reside Will not your Christian among them. islanders remember them in their petitions to the Throne of Grace." Editorial Remarks.—The Shalong station is near twenty miles from Ronokiti, and we can testify that it is a most difficult and wearisome journey. In consequence of the tides, it must be performed, partially by night, and the weary voyager is in danger of being left high and dry" upon the coral " flats, several miles from land. Return of the Morning Star.—On the return of the missionary packet, Mrs. Sturges and children returned to Ronokiti, and in view of their return, the Rev. Mr. Sturges thus writes under date of August 2d : " The Morning Star returns and brings to the lone one, the light of home, so we are again a united family; what favored ones we are j how can I be thankful enough for the kindness shown my dear family whilst absent from their home ? How much we have to assure us that we are near by a world offriends ; that we are not out of mind though far away out of sight. " I think your visit to Micronesia must have done you good, as it certainly has us ; and we hope this interest in these lonely islands will continue. hear of the effort of our little " Youto will church put up a house of worship, which they have much needed.

It seems sad to think of these poor peoble being left to go back to darkness. had but few ships in our ports, " Weninehave some in all j they have greatly favored us in bringing news from friends antl the busy world. How hard for you to sympathize with us fully, in our longing to hear from our loved but deeply afflicted country; battles are fought, and the most shameful of all rebellions nearly crushed out before we knew anything of what is going on. Surely these are stirring times! the day is breaking when that curse of all curses, slavery, is soon to be out of the way of the progress of the gospel, then the world will soon be given to the King of Heaven ! 1 have long regarded American slavery as more in the way of the conversion of the world, than heathenism ; let christian nations give themselves to the Lord, and the heathen will soon follow! Oh, the blessing of living in these times, we may hope to see the full dawn of light! Let us nrottse to the full responsibility of our position." Strong's Island. —ln the correspondence of the missionaries, this island is known by the name of Kusaie, which is the native name. It has been occupied as a mission station, by the Rev. G. B. Snow and wife, since 1852. He has now removed to Ebon, one of the Marshall Islands. The number of the inhabitants in December, 1860,was 748. This is not over one-half what it was ten years ago. The decrease is supposed still to be in progress. Considering the small number of the inhabitants, compared with the thousands of the Marshall Islands, Mr. Snow's removal was decided upon. It was exceedingly trying for the missionary to break away from his people, and the little church there gathered. We have several sheets from Mr. Snow, presenting the "lights and shadows'" of missionary life. In referring to his trials among the natives —their instability, ignorance and dark-heartedness, " but this sort of opposition" he remarks, " don't send the cold iron to our hearts as that we are now receiving from another source." Reference is here made to a certain shipmaster, whose conduct is most scandalous and disgraceful. Respecting his course of life, Mr. Snow remarks " Before left, I found that he had taken Capt. a woman from one of the other islands, and had her on board—l don't know how long—but as it was not convenient for him to take her back, he put her ashore here ! And but for Jim Fanning," of Ocean Island, she would "have remained here, and have found a loathsome death ; but the christian world must not know these things, and so I will write something else." Editorial Remarks.—No class of men among the Polynesian Islands is more potent for good or evil, weal or woe, than that of shipmasters and their crews. How far publicity should be given to the real facts is a question upon which there is a difference of opinion among good people. The danger is, that a class will be made to suffer for the sins of individuals, which would not be right, but that sufficient publicity should be : given to the base conduct of the guilty to deter others from trespassing, there can l>e no doubt. There are now no dark corners in Polynesia where the workers of iniquity can hide themselves ! The following extracts from the letters of Mr. Snow will show, that shipmasters and seamen can make the missionaries' heart glad: left, we had another Captain " Before arrival, ship Desdemona, Bates, N. 8., an old acquaintance of ours, that is, he was here in '53 as boatsteerer, and we found in him a christian brother—and he then said, if he ever had the command of a vessel, he should hoist the Bethel flag ; and, true to his word, we found that the Bethel flag was run up every Sabbath. As might be expected, we enjoyed his visit with us exceedingly. He had been deeply nfflicted in the loss of his wife, since he lelt home, " a wife who was all the world to him," as he expressed it. He is a man of strong feelings, young and ardent—his first voyage master. One of the Sabbaths he was with us, we received fifteen to our church. A day not soon to be forgotten in the religious history of poor Kusaie. We have received five others since. So that now we have quite a religious community about us. But most of this has been reported to your islands before this by Brother Doane. I want to say before 1 go any farther, that we"most sincerely and devoutly thank you for your generous donation of latest papers, by Capt. Lubbers, bark German. You can hardly understand how eagerly we devoured all the war-news. That was our latest intelligence, except a couple of Sydney papers by a passing vessel, sent to us by the mate through one of our natives. Though an April paper, it had next to nothing in it from the States. They were expecting we would have trouble with England upon the sea. O that such a disaster may never fall upon England or the States. How we do long to hear from the world. But we are too busy in getting ready for Ebon, to have any time to be impatient, even if the Morning Star is delayed into July. I am fearing that we shall be recalled. Our earnest prayer is against it. Not but that it would be pleasant enough to see the world and its people again, home and friends once more, but what will become of our dear Micronesia? Who will come to supply our lack of service ? Ah no, we are not to be recalled, till we are called to a higher service, I trust. But who is coming to make us a visit this year ? We of Dove Island shall not object to seeing brother Damon here again, provided he gets wind-bound, and has to stay a fortnight instead of a week. I feel sorry that we did not make more of your visit with us, that I had not taken more pains to have gone about the island a little, and Jet you see more of my people. But you know how precious every minute of our time was to us, and the weather was not inviting for lengthy excursions, as you may remember. But your visit let me tell you again, did us a deal ot good. And your Morning Star papers, I can but hope, will awaken a deep and abiding interest ir all our mission. " Aug. 28, 1862.—And (he Morning Star �lias come and almost gone. She reached us July 18, A. M., the same P. M., myself and family went on board, encountering a smart squall while in the boat. The next Tuesday (22nd,) we were at Ronokiti harbor. A touching- meeting was our arrival at Ponape. Mr. Sturges to meet his wife and family, after a year's separation. Mr. Doane to learn that he was next to meet his dear wife and a part, at least, of his family in Heaven. Few hearts would have been tin moved to have seen the bereaved brother as 1 announced the painful intelligence. He fell into my arms und poured out his first trrief in a flood of weeping. Those only who have received such intelligence can understand the feelings, or measure the grief. Some will think it strange, perhaps, that he hardly expected to hearofMrs. Doane's death, but you will learn of his feelings from his own |>en, or from his lips, if he visits Honolulu this year. In two weeks we were plowing our way back to Kusaie, which we reached the following Thursday, being drifted much of the way back by an easterly current, culms, calms, calms. Happy and thankful you may be assured we were to find all things safe, and the little church doing well. We put a test to the honesty of our people, that but few might have stood. As we had to leave in a great hurry for Ponape, we left our dinner table just as we got up from it, dishes and all on it, our doors all open— king, chiefs, and common people in and about the house, closets and cook-house all open, and as yet we have not found anything missing! I cannot think it well that we did just as we did in leaving things so exposed. But it certainly speaks well for our people that they kept thqir trust so well. And the more so as our house was kept open three evenings in a week for prayer-meetings in our large room or hall. Certainly a great moral change has come over that people. What like the Gospel to make a people honest, and tfood citizens? It might have been pleasant to you to have sat with us and our little church the following Sabbath, at the table of our dying Lord, for the last time. It was our joy to receive three others into church fellowship that Sabbath, making thirty-two in all. There are still others who are in a hopeful way. But O, how they need a pastor, or teacher. We can hardly hope to find them all running well, should we ever be permitted to return to see them again. Though now they are like children of the Highest, so far as we can now rend them. 1 do hope that your parishioners may not put -.tumbling blocks in the way oftheir progress, 1 can but hope they may, many of them, try to encourage them in the ways of well-doing, and if possible, help them in the way of clothing, by purchasing such things as they may lie able to raise, if the chiefs do not interfere." Marshall Islands. The only mission-station in this group of islands is upon the island of Ebon Covell's or Boston. Ebon is the native inline. It is the most southerly island of the group. All the islands of this jjroup are low coral formations, but owing in the amount of rain, (hey are well wooded, and covered with foliage.

The Glencoe, of San Francisco, was cut off at Ebon, in 1852, and the Sea Nymph, ol the same port, was cut ofT, at another island of the group, in December of the same year. Other vessels have there been cut ofr and the crews murdered. When the mission was establish- and when even two vessels had been attacked, and one destroyed by tfcis once savage people. We feel now the lost sailor, drifting about on the "•a, will, if here he touches, find a friendly people and home. Within the past year or two, and on an island of our group, but only two hundred miles distant, a lost boat and her crew were all cut off. There were on that dark island no men of God to bring light to the people. O may the time soon oonie when all the Marshall Islands shall be blessed with the light of the gospel. Your's truly, E. T. Doane. Let any one read the foregoing letter and ed, the chiefs solemnly promised to abandon their murderous practices. The mission on contrast the state of tr%ps there described this island has been exceedingly prosperous, considering the small number of missionary laborers. At present, there are upon Ebon two American missionaries, Messrs. Doane and Snow, and two Hawaiian missionaries. We have received several letters from Mr. Doane, and shall lay before our readers the one bearing date of Sept. 9th : in September, 1862, with the state of the same island in 1852, when the very spot where the mission is located was the scene of the Glencoe massacre, and we think he cannot but acknowledge that the mission has done good. We visited that island in June, 1861, and can bear our testimony to the reality of the change. Even upon the principle of worldly policy, and for the benefit of commerce, missions to the islands of Polynesia should be vigorously prosecuted. So far from advocating the policy of recalling missionaries, more should be sent, and that immediately. But how shall this re- Ebon, September 'Jth, 1862.

Defeated thus, they eventually took refuge on Apaiang, saying that they would die at the grave of the father of their king ; doubtless, hoping thus to receive mercy at his hands.

From this letter we copy the following paragraphs, which present a vivid picture of the unsettled state ol these islands, and of the critical position lie :" : bloodless prize. "In 1860, Te Kourapi, the king of Tarawa, put to death a high chief, of whose influence and power he was jealous. The party of the murdered man fled to Apaiang where they found friends and home, though materially increasing the population. "About the beginning of the present year, Ten-Roua a brother-in-law of Te Kourapi, contrary lo the expressed wishes of the latter, took under his patronage two agents from an oil-trader, not belonging to the firm of Smith, Randell & Fairclough, Upon the arrival of Capt. Fairclough at Tarawa the latter part of January, Ten Bona, fearing an attack from the king, fled with his party to Apaiang, being accompanied by the two agents, and on the Ist of February his fleet appeared off our island, and were permitted to land in peace at the south end. Civil commotions in Maraki, drove off some people from that island, and they also found a refuge upon Apaiang. To provide for so many new comers, began at length to seem burdensome to our ppople. Not long after the arrival of Ten Roua, Nei-Ariri, the sister of our king Te-Kaira, an influential land-holder on Tarnwa, came over with her party. So also did Te Marcra, thefather of two young men who had married two of our king's daughters. All these Tarawan parties seemed dissatisfied with their present king, and even eager to be restored to their homes by Te Kaica. The office of arbitrator was accepted by him, and for weeks great preparations was made all over the island. On the 29th of March, he set sail with the greater portion of his fleet for the north end of Tarawa, a part having preceded him by a day. They landed without opposition, men, women and children—almost the entire population of our island—hauled their proas up on the beach along n distance of nearly two miles. The proas numbered some 325, including both great and small. Two cannon attached to the fleet were landed—temporary booths were erected for multitudes who could find no other shelter, and the work of devastation commenced. Young cocnartut trees were ruthlessly cut down—the older ones stripped of their fruit—also the pandanus trees and the taro-patches. Slowly they advanced southward toward the capital, devastating almost everything in their progress —in some places, setting fire to forests of fruit trees. The king of Tarawa was deserted by a large portion of his people —the remainder despairing, fled, almost taking their king with them by force* who wished to remain to die, fighting for the land of his fathers. After reaching the western extremity of the Kaiea. " During our absence at the west, one of his men had been put to death upon this island at the order of our king as an emissary. On the 26th of August, Mr. Mahoo paid a visit to Kanoa and Auwai, accompanied by three natives, in a small boat. They arrived in the evening, and during the next forenoon, a mob assembled about Kanon's premises, bent on the death of one of the natives. They broke down his fence, made some attempt to enter the cook-house where the young men were concealed in a barrel. Konoa stripping off his own coat and laying open his shirt, begged the savages with cries and tears to kill him first. The mob eventually dispersed at the order of the king, and Mahoe was glad to beat a retreat on the morrow, doubtless glad to escape a possible repetition, of the shameful outrage. At present, there is no intercourse between the natives of the two islands.

We are gathered to celebrate our eighth anniversary, as a society, organized for the improvement of"the social, moral, and religious condition of seamen resorting to this port, by the establishment and maintenance of a Home of good character." Our Savior declares that " the tree is known by his fruit." We are willing that the principle asserted in this saying of Christ should be applied to the Sailors' Home enterprise in Honolulu. The fruit which has been produced upon this tree is good, and always has been good. Speaking negatively, no one can rise up and say, that he has been injured by the Home. It is an institution that surely has never done anyone any harm, but speaking positively, it has done an immense amount of good. It has entirely revolutionized the whole system of sailors' boarding-houses in Honolulu. It has afforded a temporary home to many hundreds of young men, during their short stay in Honolulu. It has been a centre, (including its reading room, depository, and boarding department,) where seamen have resorted and found those who are disposed to treat them with fairness, honesty, and ku-idness. The trustees have always been exceedingly fortunate in securing the services of an efficient matron to preside over the boarding department. Mrs. Thrum and Mrs. Oat have even done all that could be done by persons in their peculiarly perplexing, trying, and responsible situations. Their toils and labors merit a far higher remuneration than the trustees have ever been able to offer. During the period of Mrs Thrum's management, 1,400 boarders were connected with the establishment, and since February, 1861, when Mrs. Oat succeeded to the office of matron, 422 boarders have been inmates of the Home. The testimony of the boarders has uniformly been in favor of the establishment. It has been with no little difficulty that the Home has been sustained, during the last two or three years, owing to the great falling off in the shipping of the port. It is well known, that the principal object for building the Home was for the benefit of whalemen; but since 1854, when the project was started, the whaling fleet has fallen off from two hundred and fifty ships to twenty or thirty. Even more than this has been the falling off in the number of American and European seamen discharged at Honolulu. To a person not intimately acquainted with the numbers and character of seumen visiting Honolulu, it would hardly be credited that, to a great extent, American whaleships are now manned, not by Americans, but by Sandwich Islanders, South Sea Islanders, Spaniards from Guam and South Amer. ica, and Portuguese. On board of some American whaleships, there is scarcely an American before the msst. The poor "catches" for several years have tended to drive young American seamen out of the business; hence for some years there has been a constant drain upon the fleet, and the young men returned to the United States, and thousands of those who have formerly been pursuing the whale fishery in the South Pacific are now fighting the battles of their country on American soil. Report says, that New London hns a thousand men in the war, and a majority of those were doubtless in the whale fishery a few months ago. The same is true of New Bedford, Sag Harbor, and Nantucket. While whalemen are diminishing in numbers in Honolulu, merchant seamen are increasing. Under these circumstances, let no friend of the Sailor's Home be discouraged or imagine that the institution is now useless—by no means. Perhaps there are as many boarders now connected with the Home, in proportion to the number in port, as there were in 1856 and '57. We are decidedly of opinion that, so long as Honolulu remains a port, where even the present amount of shipping resorts, the Home should be sustained. The goods, people of Honolulu, we are confident, feel right upon this subject, and would spurn the idea of allowing the Home to go down. That should not be. No benevolent institution has ever paid better, to speak in the cant phraseolojy of the day. It now pays, although the dividend is not so large. By this, we are far from intimating that the Sailors' Home is, as yet, a self-supporting institution, but it approaches as nearly to that point as similar institutions in England and America, where the friends of seamen support " Homes" at an immense cost. The physical, moral and religious benefits infi- REVIEW. Noeth AnisicA—Uj Anthony Trollops, author of "The West Indies ami the Spanish Main," and several Novels.

Under these circumstances, the Trustees of the Honolulu Sailors' Home are resolved to keep the flag of the Home still flying. In closing this report, the Committee can not but bear testimony to the friendly feeling still alive in the community in behalf of the "Home." This feeling has thus been mani- Our first notice of this book was very brief. It merits a more extended review. The family-name of its author is familiar to all readers of American literature. His mother achieved a notoriety about thirty years ago, by writing a book upon the " Domestic manners of the Americans," which aroused the indignation of Brother Jonathan, and led the world to infer that there was something of truth in the hara raps which Mrs. Trollopc laid on. On the first page of the book lying before us, the son refers to his mother's book, and assumes a little too much, we think, when he remarks " All that she told was worth telling, and the telling, if done successfully, was sure to produce a good result. I am satisfied that it did so." This is rather cool, and we are a little surprised, that a man of Mr. Trollope's literary tastes should have found anything to glory over, in reviewing that book of his mother, which was more remarkable for its vulgar satire, and coarse portraiture of the Americans, than for any real talent at correct observation, or-just criticism. The son avoids telling his readers about his mother's disappointed hopes, and her unsuccessful schemes at Cincinnati, or how much her irritation and chagrin at not being admitted into good society had to do with her taking up the satirical pen and lashing the upstart Republicans. If Mrs. : ' Trollope's " Turkish Bazaar" at Cincinnati had been a success, she would have written a very different book, if she had written at all. If we remember aright, her book was published about the year 1832. A generation has since passed away, and now the son visits America to execute a plarfknnounccd in the very first sentence of his rook : " It hasbeen the ambition of my literary life to write a book about the United States, and I had made up my mind to visit the country with this object, before the intestine troubles of the United States Government had commenced." He has now written this book and a copy lies before us. Upon the whole, in our opinion, he has executed the task, which was "the ambition of his literary life," in a manner more satisfactory than could reasonably have been expected at the present time, while there it so much bitter and acrimonious feeling in active ebulition on both sides of the Atlantic. Unless we are much mistaken in our estimate of the book, it will operate like oil upon the troubled waters. Let a secession Englishman, and a thorough-going Lincoln Republican read this book, end our word for it they will be better friends after than before the perusal of the fested : book.

He hits off some of the peculiarities of the American people in a good-natured manner, which nobody can reasonably complain of. He is justly severe upon our mewspaper-press. Some hints about post-office regulations and rail-roads, might be followed, and an improvement made. It could not be expected that an Englishman could travel through the country, and not meet with inconveniences which would call forth an-occasional growl. The mud of Cairo an<f*Washington was doubtless very bad. The off-hand independence of servants and porters at hotels would, of course, offend a traveler whose ideas have been formed after a European standard ! Yet Mr. Trollope lias the good sense to admit that an Irishman is a far better man for expatriating himself across the water, and breathing the free, wholesome, and invigorating air of America. Read the following from page HOO, "The Irishman, when he expatriates himself to one of those American states, loses much of that affectionate, confiding, master-worshipping nature which makes him ,o good a fellow when at home. But he becomes more of a man. He assumes a dignity which he has never known before. He learns to regard his labor as his own property. That which he earns, he takes without thanks, but he desires to take no more than he earns," See. We honestly confess that we are surprised at some of the admissions which our author makes in favor of America, in comparison with his own country. He really clinches the nail which Mr. G. F. Train has been hammering at in the Debating Clubs of London. We will illustrate this remark by referring, ffet, to the matter of education and religion, dWcussed in Chapter XIX. Read the following: " The one matter in which, as far as my judgment goes, the people of the United States have excelled us Englishmen, so as to justify them in taking to themselves praise, which we cannot take to ourselves, or refuse to them, is in the matter of education. In saying this, I do not think that 1 am proclaiming anything disgraceful to England, though 1 am proclaiming much that is creditable to America," &c. This is an important Such admissions surprise us. not refrain from expressing our * �95 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1862. pecting the rights of others, demanding that others shall respect hers. The reading of Mr. Trollope's book, we think, will lead the reader to arrive at this conclusion. The time is coming, when Englishmen and the world will understand Americans and American institutions, better than they do at the present crisis in their national troubles, and we thank Mr. Trollope for visiting America just at this present time, and leaving his opinions upon record.
