Carter, and written by Mr. Holstein, was really a most creditable performance, evincing much research and literary taste. His subject—the Past, Present and Future of Honolulu. We sincerely regret that our limited space will not allow its publication in the brxend. In an historical point of view, it richly merits publication, and the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural Society could not better appropriate some of their surplus funds than to secure its publication. The following are a few only of the important historical dates leferred to in the lecture : 1768—Transitof Venus, observed by Cook and Ureeo 1778—Jsnuary 18—Oahu discovered. 1700—firatAmerican .hip (C/eanor, Captain Metoalf) vis- Islands. 1703—Visitof Vancouver.

He died in Providence July 27th. This obituary originally appeared in the Providence Journal. We should be most happy to thank the person who forwarded this notice, for it has recalled a train of most interesting reminiscences of officers and seamen attached to the Navy of the United States. Captain Paine we distinctly remember ns having visited Honolulu, as first Lieutenant of the U. S. ship Constitution, in the fall of 1845. Capt. Percival introduced Lt. Paine as Chaplain of the frigate, and we remember to have heard liim referred to by others on board as a most excellent officer and Christian gentleman. The Constitution was detailed for the special service of conveying the Hon. Henry A. Wise and family to Rio Janeiro, ns American Minister to the Brazilian Court. The vessel thence sailed on an independent cruise around the world. Prayer Book.—The Church Journal says: We rejoice to sec that the translation of "our American Prayer Book into Spanish is at length complete and published. The literary work of this Spanish version has been done by the Rev. Angel dc Mora, and with highly satisfactory results, his labors being under the general supervision of the Rev. Or. Hawks." A translation has also been made into the Hawaiian language (English edition) by His Majesty Kamehameha IV. The volume contains about 400 pages. The more good books the better. The people now crave knowledge, and we hope those who are competent will vie with each other in furnishing the Hawaiian people with a pure literature. Dr. Anderson urged this point during his late visit. We have no idea that it will ever be generally adopted by the Protestant portion of the Hawaiians, yet we sinaerely rejoice that the translation has been made. 73 lottStrus, M. 20. R. C. Wyllie, Esq., &c.-We would acknowledge the receipt ola copy of the Ayr Advertiser, from this gentleman, now residing upon his plantation at Princeville, Kauai. This paper contains a long and interesting letter from the Rev. William Ellis, now residing upon Madagascar, respecting the assassination of King Radama 11. We regret our crowded and narrow columns will not allow us to publish the letter. In the note accompanying this paper, Mr. Wyllie remarks, respecting his visit to Honolulu in 1823 or "4 :—" When I called at Honolulu, in my yacht, I met the Rev. Mr. Ellis and wife, and went with them into a native school, where he made the pupils recite the Lord's Prayer in Hawaiian. Among the scholars were grown up men and women, some df them seemingly 30 or 40 years of age. Little thought 1 then that my own fate was to be cast among those neophytes of Christianity!" New Books.—We would call the attention of our readers to the large invoices of new books which arc now being opened at Book Store. There is a great variety —historical, moral and religious. He has also received a large supply of choice stationery and account books. Our sailor friends who have been so successful, could not better invest some of their money when paid off. Lay out your money for useful and entertaining books to beguile the weary hours of a long voyage, Any persons desirous of furnishing seamen with reading matter will please send their package* of papers or books to th* Chaplain's study. Files of " illustrated papers " will always prove very acceptable, including Harpers, etc., etc. Now is the time when we hope our foreign subscribers among seamen will renew their subscriptions.

IftftS. 74 A New England Ship-Master. The Rev. Or. Todd, in hi* " Hints Young Men," furnishes the following parti.'ulsrs respecting a ship-master, whoso attain mcnts in the languages und literature were exceedingly reniarkHble. He was born in New England, but sailed out of New York, i and had followed tho seafaring life from the i age of ten years. He was acquainted not only with the popular languages of modern Europe—the French, German, Spanish, Danish and Dutch—but also Latin, Greek aud Hebrew. He once held a debute on four different nvenings, in the city of Rotterdam, in the French and German languages with a learned Jew, respecting the Divinity of the New Testament, and of Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah. He read the Old Te lament in Hebrew and the New Tastes incut in Greek. The Jewish professor conleased that the American ship-master had a bctto" knowledge of the Jewish rites and the laws ol Moses than any Jew in Rotterdam. He was once asked what induced linn to take up the study of the (.reek and Hebrew. This wns his reply " When my mind was seriously impressed with the import nice and sublimity of the Christian religion, hut my knowledge and delight in tin: science of astronomy made mo a skeptic us to its reality and divinity, contrary to nil the internal evidence that forced itself upon my soul, in the conviction of sin or joy of redemption. My mind wns continually crowded with the skeptical fancy—it is impossible that God should take upon himself the likeness of human flesh to make an atonement for such a contemptible pebble as this—the most inferior of all the planets except the nvon —when He is the Adorable Creator of innumerable worlds, that excel in glory and magnitude our sun. 1 doubted all Interpretations ami external evidences of every kind. I was resolved to attempt the study of the Greek language. I surmounted it* difficulties', to my peace and satisfaction. Then I grappled with the Hebrew, ns for life and death, until I understood it sufficiently to remove all my doubts and establish my mind in the fullest confidence in the Divine mission of Him. who emphatically claims the appellation of Christ—the Son of God and Savior of the world." As our readers on ship-board peruse the foregoing sketch of on' who once followed iho sea, we hope they may lie encouraged to follow his example, and improve nil their sparo moments in study and reading. Some years ago a highly respected ship-master, visiting the port of Honolulu, informed us that in early lift his education had been much neglected, but he was resolved to make amends and improve his mind. As he whs about starting upon his voyages to the Pacific, he purchased the entire scries of Harper's Family Library, numbering over one hundred volumes, and read them all through during the voyage. '1 bus he became a man of extensive general information, and a most agreaebU companion in conversation.

The number of rebel soldiers drawn up in line, when the surrender took place, wns about 4,000. In addition to this number there was about 1,500 sick and wounded ; the wounded numbered aboui 500.

Proposal to Dig Up Shakespeare's Honks.—There is a hot and violent contro- versy going on just now in literary and dramatic circles about the propriety ot moving Sbakcs|>enre'B bones. Next year, in April, it is proposed to celebrate the bicentenary of the poet's birth, and it is urged ihnt this would be a fitting ocension to make a solemn ceremony of digging up his mortal remains, in order that his posterity might satisfy themselves about his stature, the shape of his bead, and so forth. The objectors, on the other hand, profess to be shocked at the bare idea, and declare that they will have no hand in the proceeding, which might bring down upon their heads the curse which Shakespoire himself pronounced upon any one who should venture to disturb his hones. It is argued again that Shakespeare never ordered that inscription to be put upon his tomb, but that ii was merely a hack inscription of the sextons aud stone-cutter* of the period. What is to be the end of the matter I do not know ; but I think they had better let Shakespeare lie.— Lon. Cor. of Alxrdcen Free Press.

They look like a set of lingers on the extremity of a lever, not unlike the arm, and by a series of flexible joints it runs over the sheep, guided by the hand. It worked admirably, shearing three sheep where only one could be sheared by a man; it never cuts the hide of the patient and unresisting animal, who is always " dumb before her shearers."— Ex. paper. The Pen of Heaven. The day grows yet more solemn. Its solemnity reaches its highest point, and culminates in the momentous issue of Judgment. It is God's day of settlement with a wofld that has had n long credit. It is the winding up of this earth's bankrupt estate and ench man's individual interest. It is the closing of an open account that has been running on ever since the fall. It is the day when tbe balance is struck, and our late is heaven or hell ; and what invests my text with solemn and sublime importance is this, thnt by the manner in which we have walked in these statutes, nnd kept these judgments and done them, shall our destiny be determined. The most common action of life ; its every day, every hour, is invested with a solemn grandeur, when we think how they extend their issues into eternity. Our hands are now sowing seed for the great harvest. We shall meet again all we are doing and have done. The graves shall give up their dead, and from the tombs of oblivion the past shall give up all that it holds in keeping, to be witness for or witness against us. 0 think of that, and in yonder hall of the inquisition sec what its effect on us should be.

An arras hangs beside him, and behind it he hears n pen running along the pages. The truth flashes on him. Behind that screen a scribe sits committing to the fatal page every word he says, and he shall meet it all again on the day of trial. Ah ! how solemn to think that there is such a pen going, in heaven, and entering on the books of judgment all we say or wish, all we think or do. Would to God we heard it —everywhere, and always heard it! What a check ! what a stimulus! Are we about to sin, how strong a curb ; if slow to duty, how sharp a spur. What a motive to pray for the blood that blots out a guilty past, and far such grace, as in time to come shall enable us to walk in God's Statutes, to keep his judgments and to do them.

From a letter of our fellow-townsman, Dr. Wood, dated San Francisco Sept. 20, we copy as follows: •' I was absent, soon after my arrival, two weeks on a trip to Washoe—and churches and clergymen are amongst the last things you will sec or hear »l in making such a journey. I was gratified to find, however, four churches in Virginia City, or Washoe —three Protestant and one Catholic—situated fifty or sixty miles east of the Sierra Nev>da, about 12000 feel below the summit, on the slope of a mountain ridge, about six thousand feet in height in a desert country, with not a sign of vegetation, except wild sage,—an unsightly dwarf shrub, —within a compass of fifty miles, which is as far as the eye can reach. The city which had not the apology for a house four years ago. now contains a population of fifteen thousand, (some say SfJ.OnQ, others 2. >,000.) inhabitants, mostly mule adults, with streets lined with the iron fronts of brick blocks, and thronged with team*, omnibusses and car- r riages, which, if the streets were wider, would remind one of Broadway, New York. The appraised value of the paying mines, I was told, is 875,000 000, which exceeds by twenty millions the assessment of the city of San Francisco. Besides the paying mines there are 308 mines within the precincts of the city which have not yet declared dividends.

By the a-rivnl of this vessel we have rereived information from nil the mission stations in Micronesia. We are glitd to learn that among the people of the Gilbert or Kingsmill islands there are indications of an upward tendency. A few years ago tobacco was the only article of trade, in exchange for coconnut oil. Now they inquire for cloth, hatchets, saws, boards, and other articles. This may seem a small matter in the estimation of some of our readers, but we can assure them it marks an important crisis in the history of those islanders. The ivi■ Mr. Bingham and his Hawaiian associates are the only missionaries among the thirty or forty thousand inhabitants. v. AI'AIANC AM) TAItAWA. Under date of May 9th, Mr. Bingham writes as follows " We are enjoying our usual health, having returned only two days before the arrival of the Morning Star from a \isii of nearly twenty dnys on Tarawa. Mahoc and family we brought with us on nur return to spend a few days on our island. Apaiang. 1 spent some days with him in makings preaching tour through Tarawa. We traveled about 60 miles, and met with more than 1,300 of the people. " In March, Mrs. B. accompanied me on a tour of Apaiang. We spent twelve nights among the people, and met with about 1,000 hearers. I expect to go over the ground again with Brother Mahoe. "The tmnslation of the New Testament has reached Ist of Corinthians. We hope to resume the won; soon. If favored, shall hope to complete the work in three or four years." : EBON, MARSHALL ISLANDS. From this island, the Rev. G. B. Snow thus writes under date of July 24th. He had just returned from a visit to Strong's Island on board the Morning Star. "Our visit to them will ever be a very green spot in the past. Truly God is blessing that poor people. The second-hand garments that our Honolulu friends sent them proved very timely, and very acceptable. They passed u very unanimous vote of thanks to those friends who so kindly thought of their poverty. The death of the King of Kusaie, or Strong's Island, was a solemn and instructive providence. lam glad to report that one of the two ships did not want a supply of women tor the cabin, the steerage and forecastle.

You will be sorry to learn of the loss of Aca's house by fire on the 3d instant. He lost most of his effects, and I lost my little printing press. What shall we do ? I can hardly afford to replace it myself. Such an article, ora little larger than mine, say the size o( Brother Bingham's, would be very efficient in our missionary work. Perhaps you and Brother Doune may devise some expedient to get us another. I will contribute flO lo start with. • as Your visit to Kusaie is not forgotten by the people there. They do not soon forgot those who are kind to them." In referring lo tho mission to Ebon, we would stale that tic Rev. E. T. Doane. who has labored so efficiently ot that island, left Honolulu for the Atlantic Stntes by the last trip of the Yankee. We hnve received a letter from him dated Brooklyn. California, under datt: of August 31st. He thus writes " On ■arriving I found my old associate, Dr. Pierson, nnd I am now with him, and shall hope to spend a week or so here. At his request, I hold over one steamer. As you may surmise, this being again on the soil of our I'atherland is a pleasant thing. * * * * Are you yet in possession of anything from Micronesia? I long to hear Irom Brother Snow and others. How my heart goes back to my Kbon home—the ilea rest, the sweetest spot to me in all the wide world." Thus the missionary's henrt yearns towards the poor people among whom he has labored, whose language he has reduced to a written form, and whose children he has taught to rend, and some ol whom he has welcomed to the privileges of Christ's Church. : I'ONAI'K, OR, ASCENSION. We have also received a letter from the Rev. Mr. Sturges, who is still usefully employed among the people at the Ronokiki station. His people had taken steps to send a missionary from among their own number to McAsgill's Island, but we are sorry to learn that the people of that island are so sivage and opposed, that Captain Geiett did not think it prudent to leave him. It was on this island that an American by the name of Higgins, belonging; to Brewster, Mass., was killed in tbe autumn of 1861, and now no foreigners are living there. The death of this man is supposed to have been plotted by the chief, in order to obtain said Higgins' money, amounting to over 81.000. Two whale ships have since touched there an I sold goods, and obtained the money in exchange. Visit to Vicksburg. We have been permitted the privilege of reading a long journal of a cruise up and down the Mississippi by our old fellow townsman, J. E. Chamberlain, Esq. During the month of July, and since the surrender, he visited tbe city of Vicksburg. We think our readers will be interested in the perusal of so much of this journal as relates to that noted stronghold of rebeldom. At four o'clock, July 18th, we were rounding to under the stern of tho �hip. The last hours were full of excitement —going below the smoke stacks of the Cincinnati—then discovering battery after battery—our boys covering every hill, occupying every position with tents, and bayonets Then came tbe city, not so badly used up as I expected. From a distance, such was my impression. Sixty steamers were on the Vicksburg side, and nearly ns many on the other. A glorious sight, in which one particular steamer sent more glad thrills, for under the stars and stripes hung the rebel rag. The Louisville, worth $80,000, had just been taken up Red River,also the small stern-wheel boot Elmira, which had forty hogsheads of sugar, valued at $5,000, on board.

TT\ KHFRIETND,IOCBKH The Sunday in France. Abbe Mullois, chaplain to the Empress of France, in a recent discourse on the Sunday observed that the neglect of rest on auestion, ie Sabbath day, according to the commandment, brought on premature old age ; .and added these suggestive thoughts: "Who, in these days of money-seeking, cares for the old ? Who would employ wenk arms, when young and strong ones are demanding their turn ? Old age at fifty was one of the features of the day, one ever recurring to his notice in his intercourse with the poor. Public and private charities were insufficient to keep from want the thousands who on the ground could no longer find employment." Thus, the experiment of a godless holiday Sunday, instead of a restful, refreshing holy Sabbath day. proves a confessed failure. The human constitution was not framed for perpetual exertion or dissipation. If not wound up weekly, it runs down and wears out. " Old age at fifty is one of the features of the day," says Eugenie's chaplain. What a feature! What a commentary on the homeless, Sabbathless, godless lite of Paris and France ! What a warning for Sabbath keeping nations! We have known that the Catholic dignitaries of France were alarmed at the tendencies of the prevailing anti-Sunday regime, and trust it may not be too late to stay its fearful power. All the Bishops have sent out pastorals on the subject, nnd societies for the better observance of Sunday have been framed in most of the towns. The only paper in the world specially devoted to the l'Observateur dv DiSunday question, manche," is published in Paris. But whether the Sabbath can ever be restored to its just position, so long as equal or superior authority is given to festivals of mere human appointment, may well be doubted. One thing is certain, the temporal and eternal interests of men and nations are identified with the Christian Sabbath. It was "made for man"; the mnn who neglects or despises it unmakes himself.—N. Y. journal of Com. •' appeared, descending this dangerous headland, and, reaching the water, dashed precipitately in the sea. howling dreadfully, having swam out close to our boat, thpy then turned towards the shore, keeping a little distance ahead of us, indicating that we were to follow them. 'Our singular pilots seemed to understand the danger of our position, and we did not dare to deviate from the course they were leading us. without a loud howl being uttered by them. At last we arrived in a large natural creek. where a safe landing was effected. No other similar creek was to be seen, which caused us all to wonder at the sagacity displayed by however, soon these dumb animals. No doubt our preservation wns, in a great measure, attributable to these noble dogs. An alarm having been raised, a rope was let down by a pulley, and we were all taken up the cliff, which is one hundred and fifty feet in height. We were shortly after enabled to reach the lighthouse, where every attention was paid to us. The Mother Molds the Man.—When I lived among the Choctaw Indians, says one, I held a consultation with one of their chiefs, respecting the successive stages of their progress in the arts of civilized life ; and, among other things he informed me that at their start they made a great mistake —they only sent boys to school. These boys came home intelligent men, but they married uneducated and uncivilized wives; and the uniform result was, the children were all like their mothers. The father soon lost all interest both in wife and children. " And now," said he, '• if we would educate but one class of our children, we should choose the girls; for when they become mothers they educate their sons." This is the point, and it is true. No nation can become fully enlightened when mofhprs are not in a good degree qualified to discharge the duties of the home-work of education. — Church or England and Methodists.

Strange Dissolution of the Hudson's Bay Company.—The North Pole has been private transfer. Tbe " International Financial Society" purchased all the rights and territories of the Hudson's Bay Company for £1.500.000. being at the rate of £300 for every share worth £200, the price to be paid on the Ist of July. The bargain is creditable to the well-known astuteness of Mr. Edward Ellice, so long the dictator of the selling associntion, but if its legality is not questionable it ought to be. Who ever heard of a kingdom sold by private arrangement? The Hudson's Bay Company hold sold by sovereign rights over vast territories, and one would imagine, could no more sell than the Queen could sell her prerogative. Imagine the East India Company selling India, or, to come nearer home, tie Hudson's Bay Company selling their rights" to the French Credit Mobil er! The transfer ought, at least, to be discussed in Parliament.—Spectator, June 20. " Queer.—The chief item of evidence relied upon to disprove the Mosaic date of the origin of the race, has been the flint arrowheads found in the drift of certain geological formations. We are not aware that Christian scholars have been much troubled by these claims ; but a curious statement is now made by the London Athenaeum, going to show that the whole matter was a discreditable trick. Heretofore it has been assumed that the remains of human origin were really what they purported to be. But now, according to the Athenaeum, one of the British inquirers into the matter " u said to have been struck with the suspicious appearance of one of the flint heaps. The axes appeared to have been artificially ttained ; nnd on being placed in water they looked as if all the the color would brush away. The general circumstances are said to have impressed the English geologists with a strong feeling of uncertainty."—Christian Intelligencer. A Recompense.—A New Orleans correspondent of the Boston Recorder attended a flag presentation at the High School in the former city, (New Orleans,) not long since. One part, he says, was quite interesting and significant. Miss Sarah Miller, a young lady of the school, at the opening of the rebellion, was set the following copy in her writing book: '• Confederate States of Amer- ica—Beauregard." She would not write it, but instead wrote underneath, " United States of America—Washington." For this she was made the scorn and ridicule of the whole school, and put on the stage witS a badge of degradation on her. Yesterday, the writer adds, she was selected to present our noble flag to the school, which sh* did in a beautiful speech, overflowing with pat- riotism. . �THE I■k I h | ti. C. J. 11.
