The result of this comparison is stated above, and we are fully prepared to prove the truthfulness of the statement by an appeal to facts. There are few Christian cities or countries where the number of sittings in the various churches will more nearly correspond with the number of the inhabitants; where a larger proportion of the people can read and write ; where the children are more generally gathered in Sabbath and week-day schools; where the Sabbath is more generally observed ; where places of public amusements nnd drinking are more effectually closed upon the Sabbath ; where in all the business and social intercourse of life, the various races dwell together in more harmony ; where every man's house is more essentially his castle ; where the inhabitants ofall classes are better protected in their persons and rights; where there exists a better type of Christian civilization ; where there is less of the sectarian spirit; where a man is more respected, because he is a man, and behaving himself as a man and gentleman, will be respected, from whatever part of the world he may have come, or whatever may be his calling. Now is it right and proper to brand such a community with opprobious epithets? If the Ritualistic party of the English Church wish to establish a Bishopric in Honolulu, let them do so, but in doing so, let them not call us hard names. If the abettors of this undertaking incline persistently to ignore what American Christians have done through their missionaries on these islands, let them do so ; but in the name of all that is good, honorable and Christian, let the Prelates of the English Church refrain from speaking of the native inhabitants of these islands 89 and the foreign population as " heathens," " the refuse of civilization who mingled with them." Cruise of H. B. M.'s Ship Rosario.—By way of Sydney, we learn that H. B. M.'s ship Rosario has visited the scene of the murder of Bishop Patteson and the Rev. J. Atkin, and has exacted retribution, by burning villages and blowing natives to pieces. The friends of the mission as well as of humanity and civilization, deeply regret this as not only a useless but cruel step, and one unworthy of the British flag. It is well known that the massacre was the result of cruelties practiced by kidnapping vessels,and the reprisals by the iiosario's crew will merely ensure the slaughter of the next boat's crew of white men who may venture near the Swallow Islands. Discredit is cast in "#Olll6 quarters upon the account given of the teprisals by the Sydney papers; but it is difficult to believe that such circumstantial narratives as we have received should be without foundation.

THE FRIEND. APRIL 1, 1872. A Sketch of the Gambier Isles. At the south-eastern extremity of the archipelago of Tuamotu lie the Gambier Isles, forming a small state under the protection of the French. The regent lives at Mangiivera, the largest of these isles. France assumed the guardianship in 1845, and established conditions fot the government. In 1867, the time of the recall of M. Hyppolite from Tahiti, nearly all foreigners left these islands, and iheir departure was gladly witnessed by the native government, which, freed from all restraint, could monopolize the trade in pearls and oblige the people to buy their necessaries of them. This political isolation stopped commerce and delayed the progress of civilization to such a degree that the value of silver was not commonly known. It also brought about disease by preventing the people from obtaining any variety in their food. The French have put a stop to this, and the natives have been compelled to adopt these laws : Commerce shall be free. Every one can exercise his own choice in religion and education. Quarrels shall be settled by the French tribunal. All corporal punishment shall be abolished. So now the isles are frefe to all. The climate is well tempered, and the seasons quite strongly marked. The songs and dances common to other tribes are unknown here. Foreigners are greeted with evident marks of dissatisfaction by them, yet they are unmolested. If the Catholic Mission will use its influence to support the authority of the French government, much improvement may be looked for. The great thing necessary is to teach them to work. The soil is not very fertile, and most of the land is surrounded by high mountains, while in the valleys grow cocoanuts, oranges, bananas and the breadfruit. This latter forms when fermented the principal food. The taro is rarely found. The pandanus tree abounds, especially upon the old coral reefs. The soil in many places seems peculiarly adapted to the cultivation of cotton and coffee. The harbor abounds in fish, yet the natives do not catch many. Their natural indolence and want of foresight prevent their taking pains to obtain fish and animal food for themselves, and they suffer from it. Most of their time is spent in obtaining the pearl oyster, and every year they procure fifty tons of nacre ; yet the beds are becoming exhausted from lack of care. The race is fast fading away, and very few of either sex attain old age. The women are decreasing faster than the men. Education is nre, yet quite a number taught by the mission speak French. The boys' school at Mangavera has about 100 pupils from 6 to 12 years of age, and the girls', a little out of the city, numbers 60 pupils, from 8 to 13 years old. They are taught to work as well as to read, and ihe schools arc having a good Spite of the low condition of the natives, there are some pretty residences, and the cathedral, adorned with nacre, is very handsome. Seen from the sea, the chief city, Kikitea, presents a beautiful aspect, and only the pleasant part of the place is seen. It is to be hoped that commercial relations may soon be established between these islands and Tahiti, thus stimulating the natives to a desire of trade and elevating Ihem.— Translation by Prof. Checkering from the French newspaper published at Tahiti. result. tT* In recording the death of Mr. Conant, we are reminded of that of his only son, which occurred on board the United States ship Powhatan in 1867. We received from the chaplain of the ship the following letter, which bears such honorable testimony to the character of the young man, that we publish it. He had served for several years in the United States navy, and during the rebellion was on board a blockading vessel off the Southern coast. We would merely add that through the kind offices of E. Perkins, Esq., former American Consul at Lahaina, Mr. Conant received over 8200, the amount due his son at the time of his death. U. S. Flagship ' 4 Powhatan," ) Callao, May 27, 1867. Rev. S. C. Damon— My Dear Friend: Very strange are the ways of Providence. I have recently written to you asking your good offices in obtaining a Bible in Hawaiian for James Conant. Last Thursday, the 23d, he fell from the fore-yard to the deck, and survived the fall only two or three hours. The men were unbending the foresail. It was caught in some way, and Conant was pushing it, when it suddenly gave way and precipitated him to the deck. He was respectably buried on" shore in the foreign cemetery. I write to you of this sad occurrence, so that, if you have not yet sent the Bible, you may retain it, and that you may put a notice of the death in your paper, in order that it may thus come lo the knowledge of his friends. I gave you before the name of the island from which he came. I understood him to say that his father was an American. 1 am happy to add that ho was one of our best men, very highly esteemed by all, and the testimony of his shipmates is also that he was a religious man. He was a Bible reader, and an attendant on our prayermeetings and Bible class. You will be pleased to hear that there is a marked increase of religious interest on board. There is an increasing number of the men who are striving to follow the Lord. Most sincerely your brother in Christ, Donald McLakkn. i — By the next mail after the departure of Judge Hartwell, we received a copy of the Natick Bulletin, announcing the death of his father. When in the United States in 1869, it was our privilege to visit tbe early home of the Judge, which was one of many beautiful homes in the immediate vicinity of the spot where Elliot the Apostle to the Indians, first gathered the natives of the forest to preach among them the gospel. We copy as follows : 41 Our community has been startled by the announcement of the sudden death of otedman Hartwell, Esq., which occurred on Wednesday at about 5 o'clock, P. M. He was 71 years and 10 months old. His disease was congestion of the lungs. Mr. Hartwell was one of the oldest residents of this town, a man of lhe strictest integrity, and one in whom the town has entrusted much of its local management, lie having filled the various offices with rare ability, always taking a decided interest in all improvements, and counseling every measure tending to the public good. He has represented the town in the General Court. The deceased is the father of General Alfred S. Hartwell, who served with distinction in the late war, and is now an Associate Judge of the Supreme. Court of the Sandwich Islands; also General Charles Hartwell, now a Captain and Brevet Lieutenant Colonel in the regular army now serving on the frontier. His wisdom will be missed in our counsels, and the citizens will feel that in his demise they have met with an irreparable loss." The following tribute to Dr. B. Seemann we copy from a late number of Trubner's Oriental Record, published in London. We distinctlyrecall the visit of Dr. Seemann, nearly twenty years ago, to Honolulu, when attached to one of the British vessels of war in search of Sir John Franklin. At that time he was a most enthusiastic naturalist, and it appears that he has made natural history the study of his life, and had acquired a world-wide fame : 14 Obituary.—Dr. Berthold Seemann was born at Hanover in the year 1825.

Edited by a member of tbe Y. M. 0. A. ing to prove Heathens and the Refuse of Civilization. Our friends of the Church of England have lately consecrated a bishop for missionary work in our community, for which promised blessing we tender our hearty thanks. The " eloquent and impressive sermon " of the worthy Dean, who officiated on the occasion, the reporter tells us, " riveted the attention of the congregation." We should rather think it did ! Referring eloquently to the martyrdom of Bishop Patteson, "the dead Evangelist of Polynesia," the Dean tenderly spoke of the approaching departure of Bishop Willis to encounter the dangers :i iui hardships of another portion of heatheniloin—the Hawaiian Islands; of the painful rending of family ties, of the tearing away the devoted pastor from the flock he had gathered, to expose him to caprices of the heathens and refuse of civilization within the Diocese of Honolulu. Truly, the gallant Bishop must have felt his soul grow big within him as he listened, and have obtained new and startling views of the full heroism of his own plans. Doubtless his heart yearned more strongly than ever for the pious navvies of the Chatham dockyards and the peaceful, though unheralded, walks on the banks of the quiet Thames, But he stood the test and held to his self-denying resolve with unshaken firmness. Tbe entirely unfounded impressions which the conscientious Dean allowed himself to give in regard to the condition of our community doubtless has its compensations. Besides the missionary stimulus it must have been to Bishop Willis, it may be something to us in the way of salutary discipline. Our pride is beyond anything the most of us dream of. Witness the valiant rush to the newspaper " front " to defend ourselves from an uncomplimentary but careless and nonmalicious utterance of an innocent and probably useful old English clergyman on the other «ide of the world. Our atmosphere is thick .with sarcasm and indignant asseveration. AH parties, ecclesiastic and politic, ere united in the common cause of mutual vindicatiou. It is true that the language that speaks of us as heathens and the refuse of civilization is, to say the least, inappropriate and extfiedoe. But it is probable that it would not require much search to find a good many " heathens " in our midst as well as a few of the "dregs," for which we may be more or less responsible ; and straightforward effort Ip reduce the number would do much 16 remove the necessity of our try- the YouCMnhgerisntH Aa’ocf onolulu.
