This number closes the minority of the
Friend. On the commencement of a new
volume,' our paper may be said to have attained its majority. A newspaper in these
days of change to live through all the ups
and downs of a fifth of the century, indicates
that it has some of the elements of stability
in its character. We could mention the
names of many scores which have commenced their existence, but very soon died
for the want of adequate support, since
the first number of the Friend was issued,
on the 18th of January, 1843. Reference
to that period calls up many pleasant reminiscences of the past. The changes and
revolutions which have passed over the people of the Hawaiian Islands, and the inhabitants of Polynesia generally, are very great.
It would require more than one volume of
large proportions to record the history of
Polynesia and the Pacific Coasts of America, embraced within the interval between
1843 and 1863, yet the reader of the Friend,
in reviewing its pages, will learn much relating to the history of this period—its commerce—its progress—its people—its civilization—its political and religious changes,
and, in fine, our little sheet will be found a
tolerably correct Monthly Record of Events.
It may seem somewhat remarkable, yet it
is literally true, that when the first number
of the FrimJ was issued, in January, 1843,
1863.

The peculiarity of Father Taylor's preaching, and the success of his labors among seamen, have acquired a world-wide fame. In
reading a little work, published by H. Hoyt,
No. 9, Comhill, Boston, and entitled " The
Organ Grinder," we have met with a few
pages which are worthy of a place in our
columns. The person described in these
pages, was led to visit the Bethel, where the
Rev. Mr. Taylor preaches, and he there witnessed scenes which made a deep and lasting
impression upon his mind.

AntOTiio wandered up and down the
square. He had no object in view. He
cared for nothing except to rid himself of
the anxious thoughts, which, since his last
conversation with his good friend, Mrs. Murray, continually intruded themselves into his
mind.
His guilt as a sinner before God, the danger of living on from day to day, careless and thoughtless of the salvation of
his soul, his ignorance of the way to come
to Christ, rushed with terrible power through
his mind, until he was well nigh distracted.
Unconsciously he had approached the
Bethel chapel, from which, at this moment
issued the sound of many voices, uniting in
a hymn of praise to God. He stood under
the open window and listened—

down on their knees before God, while from
many a poor creature, one hour before careless and thoughtless of his Maker, came
the heart-rending cry, ' God be merciful to
me a sinner.'
" In one part of the common a poor widow
knelt, her hands and eyes upraised, while
from her quivering lips an earnest, oh how
earnest, prayer was heard, God have mercy
on my son.'"
Antonio, who had been leaning forward
with strained eyes and clenched hands, listening to every word of the speaker, sank
back pale and breathless with terror. For a
few moments his heart beat so fiercely that
he could not fix his mind upon the exhortation to immediate repentance, which followed.
He covered his face with his hands and

When he sat down, after the prayer, he
saw that many around him were weeping,
but he no longer wept. His soul was exultant: he longed to sing, to shout, and presently, in a voice broken by emotion, joined
in a hymn which echoed the sentiments of
his heart. The closing lines were these—

He sat down, quite overcome, while a low
respohse came from the desk, " That's a true

It was now a late hour, and the meeting
was about to be closed, when a low voice
was heard from the back seat, and a man

Another of the Knmehamehas has passed
away. It is with emotions of deep sorrow
that we record the death of Alexander Liholiho, who died Monday morning, November
30, at 15 minutes past 9 o'clock. He had
been ill for some days, but no serious fears
were entertained respecting him, until a few
moments before he ceased to breathe. At
the time of his death he was attended by
Her Majesty the Queen, his venerable father, Mr. Wyllie, his physician, and the
household.
The remains of His late Majesty were
laid in state from 10 o'clock, A. M„ until 3
P. M. to-day. An immense crowd of both
foreigners and Hawaiians availed themselves
of the privilege of gazing once more upon
that noble form, now clad for the tomb.

KAAHUMANU.
KAMEH DYNASTY.
Fully believing that many of our readers
will be anxious, at this peculiar crisis in the
history of the Hawaiian Kingdom, to learn
something respecting the successive sovereigns who have been elevated to the throne,
since the Sandwich Islands were known to
the civiliied world, we have prepared the
following brief historic sketches:
|was
born in tho year 1753, or twenty-five years
beforothc islands were discovered by Capt. Cook,
'(1778.) At this period these islands were subdivided into several petty kingdoms. The best
authorities assert that Kamehamoha descended
from the line of the Kings of Maui, although he
was tho reputed son of Koouu, a half brother of
Kulaniopuu, king of Hawaii. This king died at
Kau, Hawaii, in April, 1782, after a reign of
thirty years, and left his kingdom jointly to a son
Kiwaloa, and his reputed nephew, Kamehameha.
Kamehuiueha Ist had several wives, but Kaaliumanu and Keopuolani wore regarded as
special favorites. Jarves remarks that " Kamohamcha consorted with Kaahumanu from
affection, and with Keopuolani from policy."
According to tho policy of the times, the children
of the latter, however, and not of the former,
became heirs to tho throne. The name of
Keopuolani is especially worthy of mention, as
sho was the mother of Kamehameha II and 111.
Sho wus the mother of eleven children, but only
three grew up to mature years, viz, the two
mentioned above and a sister, Nuhieunena.
Much might bo written regarding the internal
and foreign policy of the kingdom, as managed
by Kamehameha I. Both written documents
and oral tradition represent him as a most remarkablo man, eminently gifted by nature.—Ho
has been styled tho " Napoleon of the Pacific."
It most certainly indicated powers of a high order
that bo should succeed in both conquoring the
islands, and ruling them happily for near twenty
years after they were conquered. Ho must have
been a great general and good ruler. In a mollified souse, he doubtless merits the appellation
sometimes givon, "the good" Kamehameha.
Ho died on tho Bth of May, 1819, at Kailua,
Hawaii, and was succeeded by his son Liholiho,
under tho title of
KiuiirliiilHl-lm 11.
This royal personage was born on the island of
Hawaii, in the year 1797. At the ago of twelve
years ho was invested with royal honors by his
illustrious father, for the purpose of securing the
succession, and rendering tho Kumebaiuchu dynasty established. Ero long be imbibed the
strango freak of visiting England, but why or
whoreforo, no particular reason could be assigned,
except that ho desired to see foreign lands, and
sailor-Hko roam abroad.—ln Oetobcr, 1823, a

poet, commanding 11. B. M. frigate " Blonde.''

His Majesty—late deceased—was born Feb. 9,
1834. Ho is the son of His Excellency Kekuanaoa, the present governor of Oohu, and Kinau,
whose official title was Kashumanu 11.
His
majesty was adopted when a child by his predecessor, and this act of adoption was subsequently
confirmed by the Hawaiian Legislature, lie obtained his rank as a high chief from his mother,
Kinau, who was related in the most intimate
manner to the Kuinoliumeha dynasty. She was
the daughter of Kamehurachu I. by Kalakua,
who is better knofin as lloapiliwahina, late Governess of Alaui.—Kinau being the daughter of
Kamehamcliu I. mude her the half sißter of both

in England, she married Governor Kckuanaoa.
He ascended tho throne when about twenty-one
years of age. Ho was educated at the Royal
School, in Honolulu, under the charge of Mr.
and Mrs. Cooke. He wus married Juno 19th,
1850, to Her Majesty, who now mourns his
death. Tho Prince of Hawaii, whose muoh lamented death occurred in August, 1862, lived
four years to gladden the hearts of his Royal parents. At the time of his death, H. M. Kamehameha IV., had reigned a few days short of

This distinguished personage, who has
now succeeded to the throne of the Hawaiian Kingdom, was an older brother of his late
Majesty. He was born December 11, IS3O,
and has now nearly completed his thirtyfourth year. He was educated at the same
school with his brother. They were ever
associated together during much of their
eventful lives. Together they visited the
United States, England and Frailer. His
Majesty has lor many years occupied important offices of trust, but that of Minister
ofthe Interior is that which he liss discharged since the death of His Excellency John

Mr. Sumner's Great Speech.
On the 10th of September, Mr. Senator
delivered a speech before an imaudience
convened at Cooper Instimense
tute, New York. His subject was : 'Our
Foreign Relations." He fully discussed the
Law of Intervention, with its applicability to
France and England. The ability of the
speech may be inferred from the fact that it
attracted the attention of the British Ministry
as soon as it was published in England. We
have read this speech with great pleasure, and
recommend its perusal to our readers. It is
worth more than a great battle terminating victoriously ! The following paragraph will
show that he handles slavery and the rebellion " without mittens" :

In a letter addressed by President Lincoln
" Mass Convention of Unconditional
Union Men of Illinois," we find the following rather quaint allusion to the exploits of
the Navy, in the opening of the Mississippi:
" The signs look better. The Father of
Waters again goes unvexed to the sea;
thanks to the great Northwest for it. Nor
yet wholly to them. Three hundred miles
up they met New England, Empire, Keystone, and Jersey, hewing their way right
and left. The sunny South, too, in more
colors than one, also lent a hand. On the
spot, their part of the history was jotted
down in black and white. The job was a
greaj national one, and let none be banned
who bore an honorable part in it. While
those who have cleared the great river may
well be proud, even that is not all. It is
hard to say that anything has been more
bravely and well done than at Antietam,
Murfreesboro, Gettysburg, and on many
fields of lesser note. Nor must Uncle Sam's
web feet be forgotten. At all the watery
margins they have been present; not only on
the deep sea, the broad bay, aßd the rapid
river, but also up the narrow, muddy bayou;
and wherever the ground was a little damp
they have been and made their tracks.
Thanks to all for the great Republic, for the
principle it lives by and keeps alive—for
man's vast future —thanks to all."

in early life, was supercargo of a vessel trading to the East. His captain being asked,
on one occasion, at Manila, how he had contrived to find his way, in the face of a N.

every one of whom could take and work a

Bowditch sat, " as modest as a maid, saying

that there was more knowledge of naviga"on board that ship, than there was in all

—John B. Marsh, son of Rev. Leonard
Marsh, living South, was conscripted into
the rebel army. Being a Union man, he deserted, but was captured and shot at Vicksburg recently. Before being taken from prison, he left the following note with a fellow
prisoner lately returned : Kind friend—lf
you ever reach our happy "lines, please have
this put in the Northern papers, that my
father, Rev. Leonard Marsh, who lives in
Maine, may know what has become of me,
and what I was shot for. It was for defending my noble country. I love her, and am
willing to die for her. Tell my parents I
am also happy in the Lord. My future is bright. I hope to see you when I
pass out to die. John B. Marsh." When
Marsh was placed on his coffin, he took off
his hat and cried, " Three cheers for the old
flag and the Union ;" then swung his hat
and shouted, " Hurrah ! Hurrah ! Hurrah !"
and fell pierced by a dozen bullets.

The Baron was told by the proprietor and

The Amateur Musical performers gave
n concert on Friday evening, 27th ult.,
at Fort Street Church, which was numerously attended. We never saw the house
more densely filled. The music, both vocal
and instrumental, was executed in the very
highest style.
We shall venture to make a remark, which
perhaps we had better withhold, and yet we
will not. We do wish our Amateur performers, in the musical line, would furnish
the community with one concert, embracing
a few simple ballads, allowing the audience
to hear each word distinctly enunciated, and
that too in the English language. It was
our privilege for once to listen to Jenny
Lind, the Swedish Nightingale, in the Treifiont Temple, Boston, and never shall we
forget the peculiar style, in which she sang
"John Anderson," ice.
She enunciated
every word clearly and distinctly. That
simple ballad was the piece of all others
which called forth applause. Now, Honolulu may well be proud of its superior musical performers. We have some whose performances are of the very highest order, but
for popular effect, if their singing was more
simple and less artistic and operatic, we
are convinced very many in the community
would be better pleased. We should not
have presumed to make this suggestion unless some, far better able to judge in these
matters, had expressed the same opinion,
and some of these are connected with the
Musical Society. We ore inclined to think
that even the President, Dr. Hoffmann, would
not be disinclined to see the experiment
tried. Should it be ventured upon, we are
ronfident the community will come forward
and liberally patronize the effort.

The 28th of November was observed ns a
National holyday, being the 20th Anniversary of Hawaiian Independence, or ol the
signing of the Joint Treaty guaranteeing the
Hawaiian Independence, by the Great Powers of England and France. The customary
salutes were fired at 12 M., and all places
were closed.
In the evening there was a reception at
the Palace, agreeable to public notice. It
was the first time the Palace had been thus
opened since the much lamented death of
the Prince of Hawaii. The sickness of His
Majesty prevented him from appearing upon
the occasion, and the duty of presiding fell
upon Her Majesty the Queen, but, alas, how
little did she, or any of the gay and brilliant
assemblage on that occasion, imagine that
the Palace walls would so soon be hung in
mourning for His Majesty Kamehameha IV.

Our time, at their several stations, was necessarily short, but I had tbe opportunity of seeing their
schools, and of addressing the people, and spent two
Sabbaths in tbe group of Islands. We touched at
each of the stations—and taking on board the Missionaries, went to Oomoa, on the Island of Fatuhiva,
tbe place designated for the Annual Meeting of the
Mission.
The meeting was commenced on Monday, October
19th, ami continued by adjournment until the'JlM.
Various topics connected with the spread of the Gospel were introduced and carefully discussed. Among
tbe subjects claiming the attention of the meeting,
was that of the abandonment of the Mission, and the
return of the Missionaries to thexe Islands. The
reasons for and against the measure were carefully
considered, and the unanimous decision was, that
the field must not be given up. Not one member of
the Mission wished to leave the work and return toll
Hawaii.
I have prepared a report of the Missionary work
in those Islands for the last seventeen months, wbicb
I hope to present at the next monthly meeting of the
Board.
You will regret to hear that the small pox is prevailing at the Island of Nuubiva, and that fears were
entertained that it would spread throughout the
B. W. Parker.
Yours, truly,
