Sir, I have received your despatch, No. 8, of the 12th ult., stating that measures have been taken for-the purpose of raising a subscription in the United States for the relief of the destitute Irish poor. And I have to instruct you to take every opportunity of saying how grateful Her Majesty's Government, und the British nation at large, feel for this kind and honorable manifestation of sympathy by the citizens of the United States for the sufferings of the Irish people. It might, indeed, have been expected, that a generous and high-minded nation would deeply commiserate the sufferings which an awful visitation of Providence has inflicted upon so large a population, descended from the same ancestors as themselves. But the Rctivc and energetic assistance which the people of the United States are thus affording to the poor Irish, while it reflects the highest honor upon our transatlantic brethren, must tend to draw closer, and to render stronger nnd more lasting, those ties of friendship and mutual esteem, which Her Majesty's Government trusts, will long continue to exist between the two great branches ofthe Anglo-Saxon family— separated, indeed from each other by geographical position, but united together by common interests, to which every succeeding year must add increasing extension and force.

HONOLULU, Vol. 6.] The Poet's Corner. • For the Friend. OF MISERIES ALCOHOL. BYHAULTAUT. JOHN Y Touch not that sparkling glass, my friend, There's poison in its beam; 'Twill like a serpent, sting at last, However bright it seem. Think not thou'lt lose by tastingnot, In this thy loss is gain; Place but that foe within thy mouth 'Twill steal away thy brain. Tis like tbe harlot's heartless smile That beams but to destroy, Twill mar thy prospects, bruise thy heart And canker all thy joy. There's ruin, murder, 'neath its brim, Although it smiles full well, 'Tis a dire curse to those that drink 'Tis beverage of hell. I could whisper in thine ear Full many a dreadful tale; Or I could scenes of horror show Would turn thy features pale. Come, turn thy steps with me, my friend; I'll unfold to thy view And show thee many a direful scene, But no more dire than true. Behold within the asylum's walls Yon wretched maniac lie— Hear his heart-rending sighs and groans, List to his bitter cry. Behold him on yon bed of straw, Bound with an iron chain. Know Alcohol laid him raving there, And never taste again. Come to yon prison's gloomy cell And see upon the ground Yon pale, emaciated wretch With heavy iron bound. He dwelt in joy and comfort once, With every virtue fraught— 'Till in an evil, tempting hour He drank the poisonous draught. Then all his virtues, one by one, Did quickly droop and die, Unheeded passed the sufferer's moan And hunger's piercing cry. He quarrelled with a faithful friend, Then drank again once more; Beneath Rum's influence he fell And murdered ere 'twas o'er. Look at his now deserted home, His broken hearted wife, Driven to madness by his woe A maniac for life I Behold yon lovely, prattling child, Once his supreme delight; How ruined by that demon, Rom, Hi* sun will set io night. APRIL 1, 1848. Add unto this a numerous list Of broken-hetrted wives, Of ruined children doomed to spend In misery their lives, Vet all thy skill will fail to tell To thee, the thousandth part Of ruin, misery and woe, Caused by this monster's dart. Behold yon trim and gallant ship, How graceful she doth ride; Mark well how neat her canvas Sts, How swift she stems the tide. Behold her now, she's clear from land, Her crew are all called aft— With his own hand the captain pours For each the poisonous draught. 25 [No. 4. from Britanny. I was pleased with the appearance of the crew generally, however, and particularly with the foreigners. They were both stout and able-bodied, and were particularly active and attentive to orders. The passage commenced auspiciously and promised to be a speedy one, as we took a fine, steady, westerly wind soon after we left soundings. To my great sorrow and uneasiness, I soon discovered a change in the con- duct of the two foreigners. They became insolent to the mates and appeared frequently to be under the influence of liquor; and had evidently an undue influence over the rest of the men. Their intemperance soon became intolerable, and as it was evident they had liquor on board with them, I determined on searching the forcastle, and The alluring taste incites to more, Forward each seaman goes, depriving them of it.
