She said in passing, A good word for me." Yes, " Mrs. P., a good word for you and all the good women, who accompany their husbands on long voyages. We have now in port, or expected, the following shipmasters, who are accompanied with their wives—Capt. Woods, "Ceylon;" Capt. Geerkin, "A. J. Pope;" Capt. Jernegan, " Thos. Dickason ;" Capt. Raynor, " Reindeer ;" Capt. Soule, " St. George ;" Capt. Fish, "Eliza Adams ;" Capt. Davis, " Navy;" Capt. Heppingstone, " Hae Hawaii;" Capt. Kelly, "Gayhead ;" Capt. Robinson, "Active;" Capt. Rose, "Trident;" Capt. Landers, " Chas. W. Morgan ;" Capt. Capper, "Isabella," (an English merchant ship.) The presence of so many excellent women among our seafaring community exerts an influence for good beyond what words can adequately express. If favored with the gift of the Divine " afflatus," which is absolutely necessary for writing poetry, we should certainly go off in an effusion over these good ladies ! They accompany their husbands to the extreme line of northern navigation —up to the icy barrier! Some years ago when one of the English exploring ships wintered in the In our last issue, in referring to the arrival of Mr. Wilson, as Vice Consul, we remarked respecting the capture of the Florida, by the Wachusett, that " the deed was no doubt executed in violation of international law," &c. We have since examined the matter more minutely, and learn that the Brazilian authorities had repeatedly allowed Confederate pirate vessels to capture American shipping within their waters, which alters the question materially. Under the circumstances, Mr. Wilson felt that he was called to advise the capture of the pirate by the Wachusett, even in the harbor of Bahia. Fortunately, it was as successful as it was a bold and plucky dash at the pirate which was lying under the guns of the fort; but if it had not been so successful, what the consequences would have been, we leave our readers to imagine. 97 {©ft Series, gal. 25. Passengers for China and Siam.—lt is now becoming quite common for travelers and missionaries, bound to China, from the Eastern States, to cross the Pacific from San Francisco to Hongkong. In consequence of this arrangement, it affords us an opportunity for becoming acquainted with many of them. In former years, Rev. Dr. Dean and family, Rev. Mr. Chilcott (who has since died,) Rev. Mr. Crawford, and Mrs. Hepburn have passed this way. During the last month the Rev. Dr. House and wife, bound touched at Honolulu. Dr. MacGowan, formerly a Baptist Missionary in China, but now Agent for a Telegraphic Company, also came this way. When the China steamers commence their regular trips, it is quite certain that all Americans bound to China will come this way, and it may confidently be expected that some European travelers will take jhis route. to Siam, Thomas P. Manning.—This Copperhead sailor, who piloted the Shenandoah among the Yankee whalers in the Arctic, is now skulking about San Francisco. The police are upon his track, and some enraged and suffering whalemen are hoping to catch him, and give him such a lesson as he will not soon forget. Manning actually accomplished something that will render his name infamous, but did not thousands of Copperheads try to do the same and utterly failed. We have some respect for Southern soldiers and Southern people who fought with a bravery worthy of a better cause," but for those Copperheads at the North, who acted the part of traitors—like Manning—we have no respect. They wished and tried to do something equally infamous, and because they did not succeed is to be attributed to the patriotism and loyalty of the soldiers and friends of the Union cause. Late reports from the United States indicate that the Union cause is still in the ascendant. What an age for Manias.—The Postage Stamps mania, appears to be now raging " most fearfully. A friend in Boston, sends us an order (to fill out of Hawaiian P. O. Stamps,) from Egypt. The newspaper mania is rife. We have an order, for a variety of newspapers, from Springfield, Mass. Only a few days since, a young lady en route for China, touched at Honolulu, having the autograph mania!

About 04 P. they were seated quietly by their evening lamp, thinking, pe.haps, that their friends might have done something, had they only thought of it in time, two of their parishioners, a lady and gentleman, dropped in, and after congratulating them on their 25th wedding anniversary, told them it would be well to prepare for their friends, provided any should call In during the eveniDg, andf requested the privilege of taking possession o their dining-room; where very soon after, might have been seen a crowd of fair ones, with smiling faces and nimble hands, busy as a swarm of bees, preparing a supper table that would have graced a royal least. A stream of good things—cakes, a letter " conserves, meats, fruits and flowors in endless variety —flowed in from, no one seemed to know where, and yet in almost exhaustless supply. Friends and strangers continued to congregate in numbers till the rooms were overcrowded,and the parsonage was really too strait to accommodate them. At half-past seven the door of the, tabooed apartment was thrown open, and tbe crowd, led by Mr. CoBWDf, pastor of the Fort Street Church, and Chief Justice ALU*, entered the suppor room. Here, on a table spread out alone, were the silver presents, consisting of knives, forks, spoons, cream and milk dishes, butter and cheese knives, napkin-rings, _c.,„c.,and in tbe center of tbe table a silver cake dish, piled full with bright silver half dollars, in all about six hundred pieces. The silver ware is valued ut about live hundred dollars, and the money about three hundred more. On another long dining table was spread the generous repast prepared by unknown friends, of which, after a most touching invocation from Mr. Corwin, the host, hostess and guests were invited to partake. In tbe contor of the table was a rich boquet presented by the Misses Montgomery, which was conceded by all to be the most elegant ornament of tho kind ever seen here at a supper. Some of the roses measured four and five inches in diameter. There were several other boquets presented worthy of Rev. special note. Alter an hour or so spent at supper, the happy couple, who had reached the silver point in life's journey," were called into the supper room, and formally presented with the silver presents by Dr. J. Mott Smith, and afterwards addressed by Rev.

EDITOR'S TABLE. lllinil Preacher of Maul. is This a reprint of seven pages from the at Home," for August, being an Hours " article prepared for that sterling Monthly, by the Rev. Dr. Anderson. It appears that the venerable Secretary is preparing a series of sketches of Hawaiian worthies. Kapiolani appeared some months ago, which is now followed by Bartirneus. As a basis for this article, the writer has found the memoirs prepared by the Rev. Messrs. Bingham and Green of great service: Bartirneus, the I AS A PAGAN. Kapiolani belonged to the ruling class, but Bartirneus, of whom some account is now to be given, was from the lowest order of Hawaiian society. Yet he became a scarcely less distinguished trophy of divine grace. He was born on East Maui, about the year 1755. * * * "* * When the American mission reached Kailua in 1820, he was there in the king's train, playing the buffoon for the amusement of the queen and chiefs, and thus he obtained the means of subsistence. It is not probable that he knew anything of the missionaries at that time. The royal family removed to Honolulu early in 1821, and the blind dancer made part of their wild and noisy train. There he suffered from illness, destitution, and neglect, and in his distress was visited by John Honolii4 one of the Christian islanders brought by the mission from America, who spoke to him of the Great Physician. This interested him, and as soon as he could walk he went with Honolii to hear the preaching of the missionaries. The impression he made on them was that of extreme degradation and wretchedness. His diminutive frame bowed by sickness, his scanty covering of bark-cloth, only a narrow strip around his waist and a piece thrown over his shoulders, his meagre face, his ruined eyes, his long blnck beard, his feeble, swarthy limbs, and his dark soul—all made him a most pitiable object. # both in this and in that of The darkness, pollution, and chaotic state of society, was the reason, though perhaps that should have been a motive for receiving those little ones earlier into the fold. But Puaaiki's expression of desire to be united with the people of God in the spring of 1825,could not be any longer resisted, and he was carefully examined by Mr. Richards, as to his Christian knowledge and belief, and the evidences of a work of grace in his heart. The following is a translation of a portion of his replies. " Why do you ask to be admitted to the church ? " " Becauso I love Jesus Christ, and I love you the missionaries, and desire to dwell in the fold of Christ, and join with you in eating the holy bread, and drinking the holy wine." is the holy bread ? " " What is body of Christ, which he gave It the " to save sinners." we then eat the body of Chrift ? " " Do No ; we eat the bread which represents his body ; and as we eat bread that our bodies may not die, so our souls love Jesus Christ and receive him for their Saviour, that may not die." is the holy wine ? " " What blood of Christ, which was " It is the poured out on Calvary, in the land of Judea, to save us sinners." drink the blood of Christ ? " " Do webutthen the wine represents his blood, ; No " just as the holy bread represents his body, and all those who go to Christ and trust in him, will have their sins washed away in his blood, and their souls saved forever in heaven." " Why do you think it more suitable for you to join the church than others ?" " Perhaps it is not. If it is not proper, you must tell me ; but I do greatly desire to dwell in the fold ofChrist." " Who do you think are proper persons to be received into the church " Those who have repented of their sins, and have new hearts ? " is a new heart ?

The one I have now is In March, governor, died in the following November, but Messrs Richards and Stewart, missionaries, who had arrived a few months previously, then became his religious guides. In the summer of 1824, an insurrection occurred on the island of Kauai, the most northern of the group, which was soon suppressed; but it was followed by a sort of insurrectionary effort on the part of a heathen party on Maui, to revive some of the old idolatrous rites. Puaaiki and his associates, then known as " the praying ones," earnestly opposed this; and being called together by the missionaries, and instructed and encouraged, the blind convert was requested to lead in prayer. very bad. It is unbelieving and inclined to evil. But it is not like the one I formerly had. Yes, I think I have a new heart." These answers are given as a sample. Mr. Richards declares the questions to have been all new to him, and that he answered them from his knowledge, and not from having committed any catechism. On the tenth of July, 1825, Puaaiki was admitted into the church at Lahaina, and received the name of Batimea Lalana. The name Lalana (Lendon) was added at his own suggestion, in accordance with a Hawaiian custom ofnoting events.

We shall * �THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, I Bft 6. 100 use only the former of the two names, giving it the English form, Bartirneus. » # # # HIS PROMINENT CHARACTERISTICS. * The character of Barti«ieus shines out so clearly in the foregoing narrative, that little more need be said. His calling to be a preacher was evidently of God. He had original endowments for that service. There has been already some reference to the strength of his memory, and to his eloquence. An illustration of both is given by Mr. Clark, writing from Wailuku soon after his decease. " In January last, I met him at protracted meeting in this place, and was then more rior in appearance when sitting, but when he rises to speak, he looks well, stands erect, gesticulates with freedom, and pours forth, as he becomes animated, words in torrents. He is perfectly familiar with the former, as well as the present, religion, customs, modes of thinking, anil in fact the whole history of the islanders, which enables him often to draw comparisons, make allusions, and direct appeals, with a power which no foreigner will ever possess." Mr. Clark thinks him more distinguished for his humility even than for his eloquence. "Among all the graces which shone in him in such beautiful proportion, humility was the most conspicuous. Although much noticed by chiefs and missionaries, as well as those of his own rank, and occasionally receiving tokens of respect even from a far distant land, he was always the same. He sought the lowest place, and always exhibited the same modest demeanor, and appeared in the same humble garb. His prayer was, ' Lord be merciful to me a sinner.' This was the more remarkable, as it was in strong contrast to the natural character of the Hawaiians. Although he labored for some time as a licensed preacher of the gospel, he probably never took his station in the pulpit while addressing an audience. He preferred a more humble position." What shall we think of the capabilities of a race which produces such a man, and of the power of the gospel, when we trace the history of this Blind Preacher? And what value shall we place upon the results of the gospel on these islands, and upon the mission which justly reckons such results as among the fruits of its labors ? He died Feb. 21, 1844.

Dr. Rockwell of Brooklyn, May 20th, 1866, on the occasion of the death of Mr. Warren Rockwell, Esq., who was an elder of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Rockwell spent the greater part of his life at Hudson, New York, and was highly respected in that region. It was our privilege to have enjoyed his hospitality in the spring of 1837 at his residence, in Hudson. He was a native of East Windsor, Ct., and reckoned among his ancestors, many of eminent worth and the genuine Puritan stamp. The family was of Norman descent, and came from Northumberland, England.

He was called upon to preach at an evening meeting. His heart was glowing with love for souls. The overwhelming destruction of the impenitent seemed to be pressing with great weight upon his mind ; and this he took for the subject of his discourse at the evening meeting. He chose for the foundation of his remarks, Jer. iv. 13. " Behold he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind." The anger of the Lord against the wicked, and the terrible overthrow of all his enemies, were portrayed in most vivid colors. He seized upon the terrific image of a whirlwind or tornado as an emblem of the ruin which God would bring upon his enemies. This image he presented in all itsmajestic and awful aspects, enforcing his remarks with such passages as Ps. lviii. 9: He shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath ; " Prov. i. 27: And your destruction cometh as a whirlwind;" lsa. xl. 24 "And the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble ; " Jer. xxx. 23 " Behold the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind ; it shall fall witii pain upon the head of the wicked;" Hosea viii. 7 : " For they have sown the wind, and they shallreap the whirlwind ;" Nahum i. 3, Zech. vii. 14, and other pssages in which the same image is presented —always quoting chapter and verse. I was surprised to find that this image is so often used by the sacred writers. And how this blind man, never having used a Concordance or a Reference Bible in his life, could, on the spur of the moment, refer to all those texts, was quite a mystery. But his mind was stored with the precious treasure, and in such order that he always had it at command. Never have 1 been so forcibly imLieutenant of Marine*—Sack.

Mr. Ingraham's Monument.—It will be remembered by some of our readers, that we reported more than one year ago, a subscription having been taken up among the pupils of the late teacher of the Honolulu Free School, for a monument. We arc happy to report that the monument arrived by the Ceylon, and has been duly erected over his grave. We would remark, that no one had more to do in collecting the funds to purchase this monument than young Davis, whose death is referred to in another portion of our columns. Seamen desirous of writing to their friends, will find " pen, ink and paper " at the Sailors' Home, by calling upon Mr. Dunscombe, who has charge of the Reading Room and Depository.

The Authorship of "Ecce Homo."— There is a legend floating about London that the publiser invited 16 persons to dinner to meet trie author of Ecce Homo, who returned home no wiser than they came. But how much more curious a banquet might be given if all those to whom the book has been ascribed were invited to meet each other! The dinner party would include, among others, the most celebrated of Roman Catholic divines, the most learned of Roman Catholic laymen, we know not how many Nonconformist ministers, three Essayists and Reviewers, an Archbishop of York, innumerable young Fellows of Colleges, a Republican professor, a female novelist, a leading journalist, an Irish historian, a Scottish duke, a Master of Trinity, a dean of Westminister, an Attorney-General, a poet laureate, a Chancellor of the Exchequer, a High Church Vice-Chancellor, a law stationer, a chemist, an unknown sea captain, and the Emperor of the French.
