It is as yet undecided what is the proper legal standing of a foreign sailor on board an American vessel. Consuls and the State Department have fairly " boxed the compass" in their treatment of these men. Sometimes consuls have made no distinction between foreign and native-born seamen ; at other times a foreign sailor stood no chance whatever of fair treatment. At present, we believe that consuls rule that all seamen who ship at a home port are to be treated as good Americans, although they may have been born in Congo, China or Iceland. The State Department and consuls appear to be somewhat in the fog upon the real status of a foreign sailor, when he ships on, board a merchant ship or whaler sailing under the United States flag. In former years we have argued this question at length. {Vide Priend for April Ist, 18G1; Janunry Ist, 1962, and February Ist, 1567.) The only correct doctrine upon this subject v\e believe to be that ol President Jefferson, who remarked : '• That the vessel, being American, shall be evidence that the seamen on board are such." This principle the great jurist Daniel Webster thus enunciated : That in every retru- " larly documented merchant vessel, seamen shall find their protection in the flag which is over them." This is good sound American doctrine, and harmonizes with justice and common sense, but we are sorry that the State Department and United States consuls do not feel at liberty to apply these principles to foreign seamen shipped on board American vessels. The Secretary of the Navy and all naval officers apply these principles to all foreign seamen shipping in the navy. Now why the same principles should not apply to merchant seamen, we fail to see. If there were sufficient American native-born seamen to man our merchant marine, we could see some'plausibility for this treatment of foreign seamen. It is well known that if 65 {(DftStrits, M. 21.

The history of Mr. Brown is a remarkable instance of the force and perseverance of the Yankee character. It is but a few years ago that he landed at Valparaiso from a ship where he had worked as one of the crew, and with nothing but the clothes he hud on, commenced work as a journeyman carpenter. To-day his property is valued at $5,000,000. He has nn interesting family, lives in princely comfort, and stands at the head of social and financial affairs of Chile."

IMihT, 1868. 66 Established. Through the correspondence ol Colonel Spaulding, United States Consul, and Acting Minister Resident,■an important principle has been settled in regard to the rights of American seamen. Knowing howegregiously ■eamen have been wronged in former years through the illegal exactions of United States consuls and the wrong interpretation of United States laws relating to the discharge and shipping of si'tiinen, we shall spread the simple facts before our renders, for the benefit of all concerned. Not only are seamen and shipmasters concerned, but the honor of the United States Government is concerned. Here we would remark that whenever we have known questions to be referred to the Government at Washington, decisions have always been made favorable to the sailor. The Government desires to do the honorable and right thing by the sailor, but the difficulty has been with the consuls. The recent decision of the State Department is so»important, that we shall state the case fully and fairly. When seamen are discharged, the consul requires that three months extra wages shall be deposited with him to defray his hospital expenses, and assist in returning the said seaman to the United States. But if the sailor, while in port, does not require hospital treatment or other aid, then two-thirds of the amount deposited is returned to the sailor, projkk'd he ships on a vessel bound to the UnitewStates or a home port; one-third retained to form a fund to assist in supporting and sending home other seamen when sick and destitute. For many years United States consuls at this port have ruled that one consul was not accountable for what his predecessor had done, and hence a new consul would not refund the two months extra wages when called for by the sailor on shipping for a home port. We have no hesitation in asserting that this money has been withheld in hundreds of in■tancef during the last twenty years. Sailor's Rights Consuls have also ruled that the sailor should not receive his money unless he shipped in some vessel bound direct to a home port. A vessel might sail for the United States via China or some intermediate port, but in that case the consul would not pay over the amount. Some months ago, a sailor discharged at Honolulu in 1866 was about to leave. When discharged he paid $36, or the three months extra wages, into the Consulate. At that time A. Caldwell, Esq., was Consul. Since that date General Smith has officiated as Consul, and he has been succeeded by Consul Spaulding. The sailor had resided in Honolulu, engaged in an honorable employment, but had been at no expense to the Consulate. When about to leave, he calls for the amount due him, *IM. Colonel Spaulding, following the traditional ruling of his predecessors, declines to refund the amount. It wns a case so manifestly in violation of the spirit of what we regarded a fair interpretation of the "Consul's Manual," that we called upon the Consul in the sailor's behalf. The result wns that Colonel Spaulding offered to refer the case to the State Department at Washington. As the sailor was about to sail, he left an order (or the money, which we have received and now hold subject to his direction. Honolulu, March 25th, IS6B. United States Consul. Please pay to Key. S.

The case was duly referred to the State Department, and we are most happy to announce the fact, for the sailor's benefit, and also for the benefit of all other sailors discharged at Honolulu, or ariy other port foreign to the United States, that the Consul has received instructions Jrvm the State Department authorizing him, when the records oftlie Consulate show that money is due to discharged seamen, and tluxl the Government his been credited with the amount so due by any of his predecessors, to pay the same, and cliarge the United States Government t/tsre- with. We would furthermore state that the Consul is not allowed to retain the money, although the ship on board of which the sailor may have shipped may touch at an intermediate port on her voyage or passage to some port in the United States. We would here duly make mention of Colonel Spaulding's courtesy in writing to Washington, and thus causing to lie settled a question of immense importance to nil American seamen. Most sincerely do we hope the State Department at Washington will send a circular to all United States consuls and commercial agents throughout the world, embodying an extract from this recent dispatch to Colonel Spaulding. This decision will form a precedent which, if followed by United States officials, will serve to remedy nn old and most iniquitous abuse, which has resulted in .defrauding the honest sailor out of his just dues. If the money thus unjustly kept back had gone into the United States treasury, it would redeem former consuls of a portion of the odium that must fall upon their official acts. It is well known that in many instances this money has been taken away by the consuls. It is with no pleasure that we make such allusions. We do it, however, that their successors in office may be led to do justly by the sailor, whose interests they are bound to respect and care for. The duty of consuls in regard to seamen is most plain. In the " Consul's Manual" it. is stated, One essential object of the consular appointment is the protection of American mariners— a class of our fellow citizens whose habits ot life require a kind guardianship of their persons and interests in foreign countries." " New Edition of the Hawaiian Bible. Several years ago the preliminary steps were taken for a new and revised edition of the Hawaiian Bible. The Key. li. W. Clarkhas spent two or more years in New York reading and correcting the proof-sheets of the new edition us it bus been printed and electrotyped by the American Bible Society. A partial supply has already been received, nnd more are on the way around Cape Horn. We have examined the book, and find the style of printing and binding all that could be desired. It is a noble work. The American Bible Society have most generously given (he electrotype plates, costing over ten thousand dollars ($10,000.) Hereafter it is to be hoped that Hawaiians will so much prize the Sacred Scriptures that they will pay the expense of printing and binding. The most expensive style will be sold for $12, and the cheapest for 83 per copy. The New Testament is printed separately, and in a style most admirably suited for the use of schools. This edition is accompanied with marginal references. The Bible, complete, has now been printed in the Tahitian, Samoan, Rorotongan, Tongan, Fijian and Hawaiian dialects—all branches of the Polynesian language. Portions of the Bible have also been printed in the Marquesan, New Zealand, Gilbert Island, Marshall Island, Ponapean and Strong's Island languages. To accomplish this enterprise has required an amount of literary and linguistical labor, which can scarcely be appreciated except by those who have spent years in acquiring a foreign language, and additional years in the work of patient translation and revision ; yet all this has been done exclusively by the Puritan missionaries (English nnd American) in the Pacific, besides all their other labors. A Continental Sabbath.—An American clergyman visiting Berlin, says that an American cannot pnss the streets on the Sabbath day without having his religious feelings shocked. Business of all kinds is carried on as on other days in the morning, nnd in the nfternoon the people rush to the theatres, operas, beer-gardens, and other places of amusement.

Neal & Crowinshield, 6 Central street, Boston, that Port Chalmers, N. '/,., has been made a free port for whaling vessels. This place, according to Lippincott, is the port of Dunedin, colony of Otago, on the south-east side ol the middle island, in latitude 42° 53' S., and longitude 170 ° 50' E. The opening of the port to whalers was brought about through the efforts of Mr. George L. Sise, of the firm ol Bates, Sise & Co., who addressed the following letter to the Chamber of Commerce of Dunedin : Dunedin Chamber of Commerce : " ToI the respectfully submit to your judg" would ment the importance of offering inducements to whalers to make Port Chalmers a port of rendezvous.

We, the Editor, nnd we, a few passengers, landed on the morning of July 15th on the very spot where Capt. Cook was killed on the 14th of February, 1779. It is a reinurkable place. Although there were weak points in Cook's character, which must forever detract from that hero worship which the world will ever pay to the name of England's great navigator, yet his career, voyages and tragical death render his name immortal. As a navigutor, he stands next to Columbus. His three voyages to the Pacific form an important crisis in modern geographical discoveries. It is just one hundred years this very summer since he sailed on his first voyage. During the following (en years lie prosecuted his discoveries throughout this vast ocean with a zeal, perseverance and success that led to the most astonishing results in science, commerce and foreign missions. He discovered a vast number of islands throughout the South Seas, opened the door for thousands and tens of thousands of European colonists to settle in New Holland, Van Dicman's Land, and subsequently in New Zealand and other places, besides discovering the Hawaiian Islands and exploring the Northwest Coast, and thereby opening up a trade to Americans, Englishmen and Russians. Referring to Cook's surveys of islands, reefs and shoals, we once heard an old sea captain remark, that when Cook put down his stakes, there was no need of addi- " I; Ml. U (il ST. I8« 8. appeared highly appropriate that a suitable monument should be erected to his memory. In former yAirs we have frequently exp**sed this opinion. Hnving heard much said respecting the recent attempt at erecting *aucli a monument, we felt exceedingly anxious to see what had been accomplished. When once seen, we think any beholder would exclaim, "What, that Cook's Monument!" Beport says those who built the same have never been paid, as it was not completed according to contract. Already has it commenced to crumble. Most sincerely do we hope the enterprise will not be abandoned until a suitable and becoming monument shall be erected on the spot. Even :t simple marble slab attached to the bold bluff, or ■ granitepillar with suitable inscriptions, would not be inappropriate. In musing over the singular reluctance which litis been apparently manifest in thus marking the spot, we sometimes have been led to ask,—Could the conduct of Capt. Cook towards the aborigines antl his allowing divine honors to have been paid to himself have had any influence in deterring his countrymen or the British Government from erecting a monument ? There can be no doubt the public mind in England and throughout the civilized world, very soon after the publication of the volumes containing an account of his voyages, settled down upon the conviction or impression that Capt. Cook's moral nnd religious perceptions were low and obtuse. That he suffered himself to be worshiped its a god, there can be no doubt. This fact is clearly patent to the most careless reader of tho narrative ns given by Capt. King after Cook's death. He often refers to the adoration paid to Cook. In one paragraph he represents Cook as " seated between two wooden idols," and in that situation as being approached by the priests offering their sacrifices nnd offerings. In another paragraph he remarks that when Cook landed from his ship, he was preceded by a priest, crying "Oronohos landed," and ordering the people "to prostrate themselves." Such conduct on Cook's part merits the severest reprehension. What appears to be a great weakness on his part, and as manifesting an utter want of common sense, when he desired to obtain wood to burn on board his vessels, he actually demolishes the very temple, or heiau, where he had been worshiped as a god ! As compensation, he only offers two or three hatchets. These were utterly spurned by those heathen priests. Cook, however, did not desist from taking away the wood of the heiau. This fact we do not learn from Cook's voyages, but from Ledyard's journal. The narrative of the melancholy death of Capt. Cook would not be completc without this journal of John Ledyard, tional calculations." Thoughts of this nature are naturally suggested by visiting the spot where he fell. Events of the last century which have transpired in different parts of this great ocean nre all linked wiih the voyages jind discoveries of Capt. Cook, hence he may appropriately be styled the Great Navigator of England. Perhaps the narrative of no modern or even ancient pavigator has been more extensively read during the last century. It has been translated and published in all the modern languages of Europe. The adventures of Robinson Crusoe are not more cntextaining than the voyages and discoveries of Capt. Cook. In reading the writings of subsequent writers upon r.vents and localities in the Pacific, it is astonishing how much they are obliged to acknowledge their indebtedness to Capt. Cook and his coadjutors. Even the very pictures or drawings of harbors, scenery and people presented in modern books may nearly all be traced to Cook's voyages. The volumes of Cook and Ellis' " Polynesian Researches " form the foundation of Polynesian literature and geographical knowledge. Under these circumstances, it has always I lhe American sailor from Connecticut, who was an cyc-wilness ou that occasion, and of (he men ordered by Cook to demolish the heiau. Ledyard's name does not figure in the " voyages" of Cook, but it has become historical, his lift! having been written by the historian Sparks. The original of Ledyard's journal (we were informed by Lady Franklin when lit Honolulu in IStil) is now deposited in the British Museum. This whole subject of Cook's conduct before his dentil nnd the kind treatment which he had experienced from the natives, is worthy ol serious consideration, and goes far towards exonerating then from blame in the premises. In the course of our reading we have met with a letter »f the Poet ('oW|HT, addressed to tin- Rev. John Newton, relating to Cook's dentil, which merits re-piiblicntioii. On the 9th of October, 1784, Cowper writes Newton thus, after reading Cook's voyages : " The rending of those volume* afforded me much amusement, anil I hope some instruction. No observation however forced itself upon me with more violence than one that I could not. help making on lhe death of Capt. Cook. God is a jealous God, and at Owliyhee the poor man was content to bo worshiped. From that moment the remarkable interposition of Providence in his favor wasconverted iiitonii opposition that thwarted till his purposes. He left the scene of his deification, but wns driven back lo it by a most violent storm, in which he suffered mora than in any that had preceded it. When be departed he left his worshipers still infatuated with an idea of his godship, consequently well disposed to serve him. At his return he found them sullen, distrustful und mysterious. A trifling theft wns committed, which, by a blunder of his own in pursuing the thief after the property had been restored, was magnified into nn nffiiir of the last importance. One of their favorite chiefs was killed too by a blunder. In short, nothing but blunderand mistake attended him, till he fell breathless into the water, and then all was smooth again. The world indeed will not take notice, or see that the dispensation bore evident marks of divine displeasure ; but a mind 1 think in any degree spiritual cannot overlook them. We know from truth itself thut the death of Herod was for a similar offense. But Herod wns in no sense a believer in God, nor had enjoyed half the opportunities with which our poor countryman had been favored. It may be urged perhaps that he wns in jest, thnt he meant nothing but his own nmusement, and that of his compnnions. I doubt it. He knows little of the heart who does not know that even in a sensible man it is flattered by every species of exaltation. But be it so, thnt he was in sport: —it was not humane, to say no worse of it, to sport with the ignorance of his friends, to mock their simplicity, to humor nnd acquiesce in their blind credulity. Besides, though a stock or a stone may be worshiped blnmelcss.a baptized man may not. He knows what he does, and by suffering such honors to be paid him, incurs the guilt of sacrilege."

They immediately sent for the men. In a little while they got me something to eat, which I ate under a tree, as it was much more pleasant than in lhe bouse. The house was covered with white cloth, WBS* small, and intensely hot. The people were glad to see me, nnd sent to another place to announce my arrival. Before night there were twenty-one of them together. It was said that there were as many us forty there sometimes, but they were then scattered, seeking good places for gold, as they are accustomed to do in the summer. 1 did not find them in ns comfortable circumstances ns those nt Vernon. They depend on gold hunting, and do not get much these days. I went out with them to see their manner of working. They got but few grains while I was with them. Some foreigners thought they might have money laid up, but they said they were very poor. I asked them if they did not wish lo return home. They said they had not money to take them home. They evidently do not wish to return to Hawaii, though I know they would be better ofT there than ID California. I lound only one professor of religion among them. There was another who was said to have been a professor when on the Islands. They nre nil in a cold, dead stntc —have no meetings nmong themselves—do not keep up the forms of religion, but live just as do the foreigners ; drink sometimes, but not often to excess. The white men spoke of them as being quiet, inoffensive people, though one of the store-keepers with whom they dealt told me they did not pay their debts punctually as they ought. 1 staid with them until after the Sabbath—preached to them—had a Bible class, ice.

They were living without God in the world, not regarding the concerns of their souls as of much account if they could only pet gold. Gold is theirjjod, ns it is the god of many a white man.

A Southern Hit at the Yankees. The Boston Transcript says: The Peters- burg (Virginia) Index, stirred up by the observation that Samuel Adams had a larger share than Thomas Jefferson in bringing on the Revolution, indulges in the following strain of irony, which has the element of fun in it—an ingredient not often found in Southern outbreaks against the North.

Gesenius' plea for the correctness of the authorized rendering, on the ground that '• it is not incredible that persons oppressed by severe famine should devour even the excrements of animnls," is unworthy of so respectable a lexicographer. He probably felt this, for he proceeds to add, on the authority of Bochart, that the name "dove's dung is applied in the Sbemitisli language to certain vegetable substances." This is the prevailing idea ; nevertheless, no one has hitherto succeeded in indicating what particular vegetable is meant. C. A.
