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.

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.

J[™ -....109 I°9 'O" 109 JJO IJO '" There is either a defect in the laws of the United States in regard lo foreign seamen shipped on board whaleships, or there is a wrong interpretation of those laws. In the application and practical working of those laws, upon a fair estimate, nearly, if not more, than one half of those serving on board American whalcships as. seamen, are thrown outside of the pale of relief in case they are sick and disabled. The laws as now interpreted, do not allow relief to be administered by the consul to foreign seamen shipped in foreign ports to be discharged in foreign ports. Any one acquainted with the character of the crews of whaleships, will readily see that this ruling of the U. S. Consul shuts out all Polynesians (or kanakas,) and a vast number of Portuguese seamen. These two classes, Polynesian and Portuguese, will make up good one half of the seamen on board the sixty or seventy ships touching at Honolulu this fall. We make the statement without fear of contradiction, that the successful prosecution of the American whale fishery in this ocean, is absolutely dependent upon these men— these foreign seamen shipped in foreign ports, and to be discharged in ports foreign to the United States. This whole matter of shipping and discharging seamen attached to American whaleships, has undergone a revolution during the last few years. When whaleships leave New Bedford and other This Number concludes another volume of " The Friend."

These men are however toiling and spending their lives under the American Flag, but without enjoying the relief of American seamen, when sick and disabled. The result is that many seamen are turned away from U. S. Consulate, and compelled to seek relief from the community at large, who should be in the U. S. Hospital. Persons of this description are now in Honolulu. Mrs. Crabb, at the Sailors' Home, and the Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society, of Honolulu, come in to assist the U. S. Government to support sick and disabled seamen. Cases are constantly occurring in Honolulu, wherein the U. S. Government ought to furnish relief, but we are told, according to instructions from Washington, relief cannot be afforded. Now, we say, there is a screw loose somewhere ; " in the mean time the U. S. Government, with a revenue of $500,-000,000, is receiving charitable contributions from the ladies of Honolulu, to keep in a nourishing condition the Whale Fishery, about which there is so much boasting. It would not perhaps be modest on our part to point out to U. S. officials their duty, but we do think, for decency and humanity's sake, they had better write to Washington for new " Perhaps the newly appointed Consul—General Smith—will come with proper instructions. The only justand proper method of disposing of this troublesome and perplexing affair, is simply to protect and relieve all seamen alike who sail under our flag. Not only should the Flag protect but relieve the American and foreigner alike. They toil and endanger their lives together, to enrich our countrymen and extend our country's commerce, hence it is only fair, justand honorable that they should share alike our country's protection and relief. instructions.

It may not, however, be amiss to give you a few hints respecting the first part of your course. If you examine your chart, you will, find put down, not far from the latitude in which you now are, a most dangerous Rock, called the Rock of Intemperance, or Drunkard's Rock. This rock, on which there is a high beacon, is almost white with the bones of poor sailors who have been cast away upon it. You must be careful to give this rock a good berth, for there is a very strong current setting towards it. If you once get into that current, you will find it very difficult getting out again, and will be almost sure to strike and go to pieces. You will often find a parcel of wreckers round this rock, who will try to persuade you that it is not dangerous, arid that there is no current. But take care how you believe them. Their only object is plunder. Not far from this terrible rock, you will find marked a whirlpool, almost equally dangerous, called the .Whirlpool of Bad Company. Indeed, this whirlpool often throws vessels upon the Drunkard's Rock, as it hurries them round. It lies just outside the Gulf of Perdition, and everything which it swallows up is thrown into that Gulf. It is surrounded by several little eddies, which often draw mariners into it before they know where they are. Keep a good look out, then, for these eddies, and steer wide of this whirlpool, for it has swallowed up more sailors than ever the sea did. In fact, it is a complete Hell Gate. Besides this whirlpool and rock, there are several shoals laid down ; n your chart, which I cannot now stay to describe. Indeed, these seas are full of them, which makes sailing here extremely dangerous. If you will be sure to shun them all, and to keep clear of the terrible gulf already mentioned, you must immediately go about, make a signal for a pilot, and steer for the Straits of Repentance, which you will then see right ahead. These Straits, which are very narrow, form the only passage out of the dangerous seas you have been navigating into the great Pacific Ocean, sometimes called the Safe Sea, or Sea of Salvation, on the further shore of which lies your port. It is not very pleasant passing these Straits, and therefore many navigators have tried hard to find another passage. Indeed, some, who pretend to be pilots, will tell you there is another; but they are wrong, for the great Master Pilot himself has declared that every one who does not pass the Straits of Repentance will certainly be lost. As you pass these Straits, the spacious Bay of Faith will begin to open, on the right hand side of which you will see a high hill, called Mount Calvary. On the top of this hill stands a Light House, in the form of a cross, which by night is completely illuminated from top to bottom, and by day sends up a pillar of smoke, like a white cloud. It stands so high, that unless you deviate from the course laid down in your chart, you will never lose sight of it in any succeeding part of your voyage. At the foo#t of this Light House you will find the Pilot I have so often mentioned, waiting for you. You must by 107 all means receive him on board ; for without the winds and thunderbolts in his hand, and him, neither your own exertion, nor all the setting one foot on the sea, and the other on charts and pilots in the world, can preserve the land, while both hind and sea obey his you from fatal shipwreck. word, and tremble at his nod.

Probably this name was chosen from viewing the broad table lands of Hawaii. We learn these facts from a communication recently published in the Hawaiian Gazette, and written to His Majesty's Foreign Minister, by the Governor of Guam, or by an officer of the Spanish Government at Madrid, Spain, who was ordered by the Spanish Government to search the archives of the Colonial department and ascertain all that could be found out upon the subject. The name of the discoverer was Juan Gaetano, or Gaytan. What however appears most strange to us, is the fact that during those two hundred and twenty-three years, these islands should not have been repeatedly visited by Spanish galleons, freighted with treasure and passing from Acapulco, in Mexico, to the East Indie?. Table Hands. Hawaiian Seamen on Board American four hundred Hawaiians shipped on board American whale ships. This year the number will not probably be less. We do not well see how the whaling fleet could be fitted out unless there was this heavy draft upon the natives of these Islands. With due regard to His Majesty's native subjects, we cannot see how his officers can allow Hawaiian* thus to ship in American vessels. According to the U. S. Laws, as interpreted by U. S. Consuls at these islands, these Hawaiian seamen are not entitled to support and relief, should they be taken sick on board, and the Captain be compelled to touch and discharge them at Hongkong, Sydney, Tahiti, or any port where there is The Rev.

We can supply a few more shipmasters with good reading for a long voyage, and perhaps from the perusal of the Friend, they may obtain hints about good whaling grounds, or sunken rocks, or dangerous shoals, or adverse currents, or hidden reefs, or low islands. Not long since one shipmaster remarked, a hint obtained from the Frietui, kept his vessel from being wrecked on Christmas Island. Hawaiian Islands Discovered 1555.— So the vexed question appears to be now definitely settled, that Capt.

Ship Vmulerliill. The music was vocal and instrumental, and said by those who heard it to be very fine. The pieces sung were mostly familiar American and English aire, but none were better perlormed than the stirring songs of the late war. When informed that the setenaders were native Hawaiian, the officers could hardly believe that such mimic and good English pronunciation were possible from them. One of the sailors belonging to the ship has handed in the following, composed after the serenade: Our Sercundc. List! oh list! my island friends, To you my lays I'll tune, Who sweetly sang to us last night, Beneath the midnight moon.

It is a singular but noteworthy fact that laborer! are now going forth from China, to cultivate the sugarcane in Havana, Mauritius, Sandwich Islands, and many other parts of the tropics ; to load the guano vessels at the Chincha islands ; to dig in the mines of California and Australia ; and to labor as domestics in many other parts of the world. They are a thrifty and industrious people, but intensely wedded to their ancient customs. They are a people essentially idolatrous in their religious opinions and by no means inclined to change their views and opinions upon religious subjects. Any one professing to be well-read and acquainted with the human race, but ignores the Chinese, —their habits and influence— shows that he is but partially posted up in regard to one of the most remarkable people on our globe. The book now before us appears to be exactly the one which ought to go into general circulation. It is quite impossible to treat this people justly and fairly unless their customs and habits are duly considered and carefully pondered. This is a book for the judge, the planter, the Missionary and Editor, on the Sandwich Islands, to read. The Chinese are already here and thousands more are destined to come hither. We doubt not many hundreds of little children born in China, and now picking tea-leaves or living on the rivers of China, will find their graves on Hawaiian shores. At a lute Monthly Concert at Fort Street Church, as well as on other occasions, we have heard remarks indi- cating that it was most discouraging to labor for the enlightenment of the Chinese. Our Missionaries in China have also found it no easy matter to teach the Chinese the tenets of the Christian's faith, but yet they are not discouraged. We think our readers will be interested in the following paragraphs :— The first Protestant Mission at Fuhchau was established by a missionary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in January, 1847. The Mission has averaged three or four tamilies since its commencement. In April, 1856, occurred the first baptism of a Chinaman at this city in connection with Protestant Missions. In May, 1857, a brick church, called the Church of the Savior," built on the main street in the southern suburbs, and about " The English Church Missionary Society established a mission at Fuhchau in the spring of 1850. It has met with many reverses, and has not averaged two families. Its members have always resided within the city on Black Rock Hill. It has two large chapels, located on South and Back Streets, two of the most important streets in the city. It employs two or three native helpers, and has ten or fifteen baptized Chinese under its care and instruction. Many of the small chapels, and some of the large church buildings, in connection two members were received into the first with these three Missions, whether in the church formed. During the next two years city, or in the suburbs, or at the country twenty-three persons were baptized. Be- stations, are opened daily for preaching in tweeeti 1853 and 185S a small boarding Chinese. All who please to come in are school, I. c, a school where the pupils were welcomed.

"The lino* lire fallen unto me in pleasantplaces; yea, I have ■ goodly heritage."—l'sai.m xvi: 6. Among the oracular and prophetic sayings of Napoleon, while a prisoner on St. Helena, I have met with the following remarkable utterance : " Ere the close of the nineteenth century America will be convulsed by one of the greatest revolutions the world ever witnessed. Should it succeed, her powerand prestige are lost; but should the government maintain her supremacy, she will be on a firmer basis than ever. The theory of a republican form of government will be established, and she can defy the combined powers of the world." This language was uttered fifty years ago, by one whose prescience in regard to the political affairs of Europe has often been verified; but that he should have been able to have divined the future of America with such accuracy is very remarkable. We are now assembled in obedience to the invitation of the Chief Magistrate of America, after she has experienced and" successfully passed through what may be styled in Napoleonic language, one of the greatest revolutions the world ever witnessed." In view of the successful termination of that mighty convulsion and civil commotion, most surely Americans at home and abroad are most solemnly bound to observe an annual day of public and national Thanksgiving so long as the Republic shall last, and the flag of the Union be seen among the nations of the earth. The appointment of this day for rendering thanks to God, indicates that, as a nation, the Americans have, through their Chief Magistrate, wiped off the reproach that God's Providence was not recognized in our national councils. A most beautiful and simple method has been adopted for acknowledging our dependence. On our national coins, hereafter the motto will be found, In God we trust." Although 1 stand not to-day upon American soil, yet with the feelings of a loyal and patriotic citizen of the Republic, I would speak in the name of every true American, and say, in the language of David, are fallen unto me in pleasant " The lines places ; yea, 1 have a goodly heritage." I have selected as a theme of discourse on " " �iii 2 this occasion, The American's itage WORTHY OF AN ANNUAL goodly i; her- THANKSGIVING. A heritage implies ancestors. The American may look back to those of whom he may be justly proud. " The glory of children," snith the wise man, "are their fathers." The fathers ofthe North American Republic were men who made the most ample provision that a goodly heritage should be the portion of the American citizen through all coining time. Even before the foundations of our national independence were laid by the actors in the scenes of the Revolution of '76, their nncestors contributed their share so to shape coming events, that a noble inheritance should descend to their children and their children's children. The planting of the American Colonies by the chosen men of England in the seventeenth century, is one of the marked providences in American annals. Our poet Longfellow quaintly expresses this idea : "God liuil silteil three kingdoms fo find wheat for this planting, Then had sifted the wheat, as the living seed of a nation ; So say the chroniclers old. and such the faith of the people.'' The goodly heritage of Americans in the nineteenth century, is the natural ripening harvest of the seed sown in the seventeenth. The Republic of America, or the American Union, is the natural growth of certain fixed principles ofcivil a"hd religious liberty. When writers, politicians or statesmen take any other view of the nation, they are doomed to learn, sooner or laler, that they have made a glaring mistake or great blunder. Hence the falsity of the views and opinions expressed by so many European writers and statesmen during the late rebellion. They did not understand the genius and character of the government of America. The recent correspondence between Earl Russell and the historian Mr. Bancroft, sets forth this point in the clearest lighi. It has been proved true, beyond all questioning, that something stronger than a " rope of sand " bound the Union together. When the hour of peril and the Ship of State seemed ready— plunging through seas ofanarchy and trouble, revolution and civil war—to dash upon the rock of disunion, then there was a glorious uprising of the people, and they rallied to the defense of the government. The people's army took the field, and their sailors manned the fleet, firmly resolved that the contest should not cease until, in the language of one of the poets of the war, it might be said, came, " The good ship Union's voyage is o'er. At anchor sale she swings, And loud and clear with Open on cheer. Her joyous welcome rings Oneflag, one land, one heart, mm /uiiwi, One nation, evermore.'' : !:ly do I acknowledge myself among ber of those who deem it eminently g and proper for American citizens, and abroad, to observe an annual rjving to Almighty God for having that glorious Union of thirty-six nd nine Territories to be preserved, that not only the welfare of Ameriintimately associated and connected preservation of that Union, but milDther lands hare much occasion to lat " the theory of a republican form nment " has been established, and i r 11; \i> . i\ \ i \ \\\ that now, in the language words, of the exile of St. is§ the prophetic Helena, America or "can defy the combined powers of the world." I do not quote these words of Napoleon in the way of vain boasting, but as expressive of the tact that our country's libcrtiesare now established upon a firm basis. As Americans, we have a siable and firm government, for which it is becoming to be truly thankful. Strength of the (.<mnunnit Scvcrel} To-led.

The crowning act of President Lincoln-; administration was his Emancipation Proclamation, and for that grateful acknowledgments should be rendered on each recurring annual Thanksgiving so long as the Republic of America shall continue an independent nation. It was, to be sure, a goodly heritage which the early colonists and the fathers of the Republic had bequeathed to the present generation, but that heritage was encumbered by a heavy mortgage. It was not a mortgage held by the Rothschilds or any rich banker, but it was a mortgage held by the poor and enslaved African for unpaid wages. It was not a claim which could be paid off with greenbacks, or,the gold of California. It was a claim which the noble statesmen of the Revolution and the fathen of the Republic had acknowledged. The African held in his hand the mortgage with their endorsement. As a private citizen, George Washington acknowledged and paid his portion of the just claim, by his will emancipating his own slaves ; but he did not do this as President of the United States. Thomas Jefferson, too, acknowledged the claim when he declared, " I tremble for my country when I reflect that there is a just God." The copatriots of Washington and Jefferson acknowledged the claim as just, but still they did not take the necessary steps for liquidating the same. As years rolled away this claim increased in magnitude. The interest was more than annually compounded. The time was approaching when foreclosure must take place. The spirit of the age, humanity and Christianity, urjjed a settlement. There was, of course, a powerful resistance, and hence arose the " irrepressible conflict." There was one, and only one, right method of paying the debt or liquidating the claim, but this was refused on the part of the debtors. As God's armed host, demanding payment, one million of soldiers marched to the tune of " John Brown." A continent resounded with their heavy tramp—" Tramp, tramp, tramp." The solemn indictment against the nation is thus acknowledged in President Lincoln's second inaugunil: If God wills that the war continue until all the wealth piled by the bondman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn by the lash shall be paid by another drawn by the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said, ' The judgments of the Lord arc true and righteous altogether.' " The Priceless Jewel lironghl forth to P»y the Debt. Shall the debt be paid ? The President, as the Chief Magistrate of the Republic, had in possession, or in the nation's casket, one priceless jewel which would liquidate the claim. Shall that jewel be brought forth ? Do you ask the name of that jewel ? I answer, " Liberty "—liberty to all held in slavery. President Lincoln brought forth this jewel, and publicly paid the national debt to the African race when he signed the " Emancipation Proclamation." The loyal people of the North finally approved of President Lincoln's method of paying the debt, although it and the triumphant army under Grant had conquered the relx-l army under Lee, and Sherman's veterans were approaching from the South, then, when therebels were laying down their arms from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, ah, then it was that one test more must be brought to bear upon our Republic. The key-stone of the arch must be displaced. Our beloved President must fall by the hand of an assassin. Surely now, if ever, the enemies of the Republic will triumph. The arch must fall, for the key-stone is gone! But no ; —the most keen sighted cannot perceive that the arch even trembles. Almost visibly the hand ol Divine Providence is seen stretched out to steady the noble structure. The whole civilized world looks on with wonder and amazement at the stability and strength of a republican form of government. Although the shock was as sudden, and the blow as unexpected as a thunderbolt in a clear sky, or the midnight earthquake that lately shook our dwellings, yet the vast machinery of government moves forward without the least friction or the least apparent perturbation. An event which, in most countries and under any other form of government, would have produced anarchy and revolution, did not produce even the least perceptible decline in the value of public securities, the most sensitive and delicate spring in the machinery of human governments. As we look back to that most atrocious deed in the annals of the Republic, we find abundant occasion for gratitude and thanksgiving to the Almighty Ruler among the nations of the earth. How wonderfully that event has been overruled for good ! The blood of the martyred President has done more to heal the wounds of the Republic than he could possibly have done had his life been spared and his influence in the councils of the nation been increased a thousand fold. Abraham Lincoln,after his second election, had become the idol of the loyal people of the great Republic. As it has been aptly said, " The instinct of the people was right. Widows and mothers blessed him. Three millions of people hailed him as their emancipator. The nation trusted him wholly. They rested on him as with a filial feeling, and when he died the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific was draped in such a mourning as the sun had never looked down upon. Henceforth his character will blend required defeats and reverses, and the long with that of Washington in its moulding in- and severe discipline of four years of war, to fluence on the times to come.''—President educate them up to the point of fully sustaining the measure.

Though dead, those falling on so many battle-fields, yet speak in the ears of the living,inspiring them with increased zeal, loyalty and patriotism. The numerous battle-fields scattered over the rebel States are silent witnessesto the value which the soldiers of the Union attached to the cause of civil liberty. It is most gratifying to know that the general government is doing so much to guard, beautify and adorn these sacred spots. They will render our goodly heritage more and more valuable and sacred. not Prnsperlt) of the t.oodh Heritage. Turning from the scenes of war, it is most becoming, on an occasion like this, to glance an observing eye over the broad States and Territories of the Republic, and behold the untold evidences of abounding wealth, unexampled prosperity, vigorous enterprise, and generous benevolence. The land teems with plenty. Overflowing granaries, on the prairies of the West, are supplying freights to European bound ships. Manufactories of all Kinds are multiplying in every part of the country. Skilled artisans from other lands are hurrying forward to contribute their knowledge of handicraft to make America one of tiie first manufacturing nations upon earth. Electric telegraph, steamboat and railroad companies are pushing forward their enterprises in every part of the widely exthat the peotended country. It is ple are struggling to accumulate and invest material wealth. Educational interests are not lost sight of. Congress has established a Bureau of Education,and the several States are vicing with each other to bring home the blessintrs of common school instruction to every child and youth, irrespective of class or color. All the higher literary institutions of the land have been advanced and richly endowed during and since the close of the war. Funds, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars, have bee*; placed at the disposal of the trustees of Harvard, Vale, Amherst, and many other of the colleges of New England and the Northern States. The cause of education at the South has taken a start in the right direction. No longer are lour millions of American citizens to be de- nied the privilege of learning to read. Even among the masters of the slaves a desire, in some place*, has been awakened to instruct the freedmen. 1 notice, for example, that the citizens of Oxford, Miss., recently held a public meeting, at which spirited resolutions were passed, setting forth the importance of educating the colored population, for thus they reason : The right of suffrage Will, in all probability, be given to this people at some future day ; ignorant voters are the curse of our country ; if we do not teach them, some one else will,and whoever thus benefits them will win an influence over them which will control their votes." This is sound doctrine, and I am rejoiced to learn that such leaven is permeating the Southern mind. May God hasten the day when education shall uni- " versally prevail!

And we may rest assured of one thing more —the United States Government will see well to it that England and France mutually keep that duplicate treaty, the signing of which on the 28th of November, 184H, renders that day, as some think, worthy of being kept as a na- tional holiday. The Hawaiian has found in the true American a friend. It is a most interesting, as well as stubborn fact, that the Hawaiian and American have always dwelt together the liest of friends and neighbors. The American yields to no one on Hawaiian shores the palm of having liecn a more staunch supporter of the kingly authority. On this day of national Thanksgiving, as Americans, we can as cordially give thanks for the prcscrv- ing access among all thenations of the earth. With increasing wealth, influence, territory, and all those elements contributing to the formation of a great arid powerful nation, there is accompanied a momentous responsibility. The United States of North America have come forward to occupy their proud position among the nations at an eventful period in the world's history. The true and loyal American regards the " goodly heritage " which has been bequeathed to him as a patrimony which must not be squandered or wasted, but one to be enriched and improved, to lie handed down unimpaired to the generations which are to follow. " Advance then, ye future generations." We can join in theeloquent peroration of Mr. Webster, when addressing those assembled on the22d of December, 1820, to celebrate the landing of the Pilgrims : " Advance then, ye future generations.

THE FRIfiND. JANUARY 1, 1807. Another ANewaYendrVolume. With the New Year, we commence the Twenty-fourth Volume of " The Friend." Under the smiles of a kind Providence and the continued support of our domestic and foreign subscribers and donors, we are enabled to meet all our pecuniary liabilities and start upon the new year hopeful and buoyant. We do not cease to be cheered by the assurance that our monthly sheet is cordially welcomed among seamen and foreigners scattered among the islands of Polynesia. The Friend was first issued on the ISth of January, 1843, so that it is now, by several years the oldest paper published at the islands, of upon the Pacific coast. The first newspaper issued in California appeared in 1846, or a little more than twenty years ago. Our aim for the future, may be learned from our former practice, and still hoping to receive the continued patronage of our subscribers and donors, we send forth our first r.umber on this First Day of January, Anno Domini 1567. We think many of our readers will with interest the "Reminiscences peruse C. of Brewer & C0.," published in another portion of oursheet. Merchants may enter upon their enterprises and money-schemes primarily from selfish purposes, but when they pursue those enterprises upon high and honorable principles, they become public benefactors. For a firm to maintain a good name —meeting all its engagements and conducting all its business honestly,—reflects credit upon its members, and the public is served. Although this firm has changed its name repeatedly, yet the House remains, somewhat upon the principle that the ship is the same ship, although its timbers and musts have all been renewed, or the Yankee's boy's knife was the same, although he had at one time bought a new blade and at another a new handle! In a letter which we recently received from Mr. Hunnewell, the founder ot this J louse, he refers to it as the first independent mercantile concern established in Honolulu. " If it can be made to appear," he writes under date of Oct. 19th, IS6C, " that there win- older or better concerns, or Mercantile Houses, I will give it up. Mr. French was fitted away from Canton, by Messrs. James P. Sturgis & Co., and came out there (Honolulu) in°thc same year, (182(5,) but I did not consider this as an independent concern, until IS3O, when Messrs. Sturgis & Co. withdrew their patronage from Mr. French, and without my knowledge, consent or solicitation (and I may add undesired) patronized me by sending tnc a full cargo by the brig "Active." This did not make me the less independent. There is one fact in this connection, I will mention, as far as 1 know there has never been any failure of any firm in the succession, or of any individual of the several firms in this succession, for forty years, while they continued connected with the House. This I believe to be true, and it is a very gratifying fact to me, and with all my heart I will say Lung may the worthy successors and their successors, continue to be successful and true." The business-transactions of this House, during the long period of its existence must have amounted to several millions of dollars. Its ramifications must have extended to all parts of the world—America, China, Europe, —as well as the Pacific. We are satisfied that success could not thus have attended the concern, through so many years and : changes, unless their business affairs had been conducted upon a sound basis and honorable mercantile principles. It lias not been a House to branch off into wild speculations. We have known several of its Book-keepers, who were A 1" in their " profession—Fayerweather, Baker, Dorninis, Peterson, and others. We recollect once to have entered the Counting Room of C. B. & Co., and heard Mr. Baker, the Book-keeper remark, that he had spent two weeks hunting for two cents, and we learned that he subsequently for days continued his search, but was finally rewarded! We doubt not he was equally rejoiced with Archimedes of old, when making a certain discovery, he ran through the streets exclaiming, "Eureka, Eureka !" "I have found it, I have found it!" Our object in thus referring to this House, has not been merely to speak well of honorable merchants, whose career we have watched with pleasure, but to call the attention of our young merchants and clerks to the fact that success is compatible with honest, honorable and straight forward dealing. " A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches," says Solomon, but if riches come with a good name; then let the favored ones be thankful, and " use this world as not abusing it," but generously distributing to make their fellow men happy. We will merely add, that these paragraphs have been written without any suggestion from any persons connected with the House, or any one else. We have other mercantile houses in Honolulu equally honorable and trustworthy, and when they have existed forty years we shall be glad to notice them in our columns. EDT ITOR'S ABLE.

My heart shrunk within me when I contemplated my undertaking. The delay was bringing it into winter before I should get away, and a wintry puaage through the Straits of Magellan was anything but pleasant and encouraging. Much was also said to me respecting the vessel, that was very trying and discouraging. "Mr arrangements being completed, I left my wife and friends (1 could not take leave of them) and embarked, leaving Boston on the day of January, 182(i. [We omit for want of space, the narrative of the voyage, but may publish it in our next — issue.—Ed.] Immediately after my arrival, I delivered "the to my excellent friend and con- packet up signee, Levi Chamberlain, Esq. 1 found myself quite at home, my own man, and independent of all owners at home—at liberty, as I wished to be, to accept business and consignments from any parties who might think proper to patronize me. I had left my old Thaddeua premises in the charge of Mr. Stephen Reynolds, and was surprised and disappointed to find that he had sold the premises to Major Warren for the nominal sum of less titan $70. They were occupied by Major Warren as a public-house when you arrived there in IS3O. I then purchased the present C. Brewer premises from John Cowon for the sum of $250, to which I added some hind by exchange' in l&'JO. "As soon*as I secured this place, I landed my cargo, and commenced retailing it, and demanded of the Island government pay lor the claims which 1 held on them for various parties, and found my most sanguine anticipations respecting business mo/c than realized. In addition to this, Governor Boki, in behalf of the Island government, urged me strongly to take my choice of either of their then line brigs, and make a voyage to China for the government, leaving it lor me to name my own terms, and agreed to purchase or sell the whole of my cargo, collect all the debts for which 1 had claims, in or lor the out ners of the brig Thaddcus, and for Bryant & Sturgis, for the Cleopatra's Barge and others. In a short time 1 had the consignment of the cargo of one of Messrs. Bryant & Sturgis' ships, and continued to receive all the business, and even more than I required. In October, IS2B, Captain Marcus T. Peirce, an old and intimate friend, arrived in the brig Griffin from the north-west coast. He gave up the command of his vessel to Captain M. W. Green, he preferring to return home. Before doing so, he requested me to take charge of his younger brother, 11. A. Peirce, who had been a l>oy and clerk with him. I agreed to take him, and paid him $25 per month and board until September, 1830, when I gave him a share in the profits—not intending to make him a partner, though it was virtually making him one. 1 then left him in charge, and started for home on the 20th of November. 1830, intending to " �return there again in 1832 and resume the •barge but year afteryear passed away, and finally 1 decided to remain at home, and Mr. ; Peirce accepted my offer to loan him funds enough to enable him to carry on the business himself as he had carried it on for me, and take the establishment at an appraised value. This done, Peirce took Mr. Hinckley as a partner ; but Mr. H. was soon compelled to retire on account of his health, and died before he reached home. Mr. Charles Brewer, whose history you well know, next became a partner. Mr. Brewer arrived out (on his third voyage) in November, 1830, as mate of the brig Ivan/toe with Captain Snow, just liefore I left for home. I need not add any more, as the history is familiar to you." IBtt 1. ADVERTISE JgEBTTS.

JANUARY, 1867. 8 Intelligence from Micronesia. We regret to learn that three Hawaiian seamen were inhumanly murdered on the Island of Butaritari, one of the Gilbert Islands. They bejonged to the schooner Pfeil. The accounts, as yet received*, do not appear to explain very satisfactorily the origin of the massacre. That is an island which has never been occupied by any American missionaries, and the Hawaiians went there only a few years ago.. They have been removed, and it remains to be decided by the Hawaiian Board of Missions whether the station will again be taken. A brighter prospect opens up in other parts of Micronesia. We have received letters from the Rev. B. G. Snow at Ebon, Marshall Islands, dated on the 30th of June and 23d of July; from the Rev. E. T. Doanc on Ponape, or Ascension, dated October 2d, and from the Rev. Mr. Sturges dated August 15th and October Bth. All these communications breathe a spirit of hope and encouragement. Never has the cause of Christian missions on those islands appeared more hopeful than at the present time. The Rev. Mr. Doane thus writes under date of October 2d: " Our good work has pressed upon us, so that we have had no time to sigh for something to do. At the risk ofrepeating an old story, let me justgive you hurriedly the story of the past. Thirteen years ago the first missionaries, Messrs. Sturges and Gulick, landed on this island. 'What darkness then reigned! Not a single native soul on the island knew aught of God. Not one.knew how to pray to the Great Intercessor ; not one that knew a single letter, or had ever read a word in their own language. But now, behold the change ! Now the native population is gathered into churches, and walking in the ordinances of the Lord. Three thousand, or one-halfthe population, have declared themselves on our side. Most of them are praying people, regarding the Sabbath as the Lord's day. Many of them are able to read the books which have been prepared for them. Of these, we can number the Gospels of Luke and John, the Acts of the Apostles, books of sacred narratives, hymn-books and primers by thousands. Some in our school are learning arithmetic, geography, singing, and Bible chronology. All are making good progress. missionaries see perhaps even a hter picture, certainly one that touches hearts ; it is the readiness with which natives gather about us for instruction asking for books, papers, slates, &c. The been when for neither love nor ey, could I get a single native into my ly, but with my own hands have wrought the wash-tub! The native food, too, sold to us at prices far beyond its worth, tow all is changed. The picture has an- MWe ihas — other shading. As we go about the island proclaiming the glad tidings and preaching the Kingdom of Christ, the natives freely help us. The glorious temperance reform has gone along with this good work. The awa, you know, is a common plant on all, or nearly all the high islands of the Pacific. It is a root, the juice of which semi-intoxicates or stupefies. Three thousand teetotalers from the use of awa, and all other liquors, have come over to our side, or to the Christian party. Had I time, I could give many inter- MARINE JOURNAL. POHNRLTFUI S, . .

On the Alarshall Islands, the cause of Missions is gaining the ascendency. It affords us unspeakable delight to learn these facts, for if ever missionaries had worked on through " a night of toil," they have been the American and Hawaiian missionaries in Micronesia. — DEPARTURES.

Among some persons there appears to be an impression, that seamen when sick and destitute, are "paupers upon the Government of the United .States. Never was any opinion more unfounded. No class of American citizens is compelled, by law, to make such ample provision for sickness and destitution. All merchant seamen are compelled by the laws of the United States, to pay 20 cents per month, during every one of their voyages. When we consider the immense mercantile marine of the United States, the sum thus collected amounts to hundreds of thousands. The port collectors receive this money, and pay it over to the Government, which expends the same in supporting those large and expensive Marine Hospitals in the various ports of the United States. It should be borne in mind, that these Hospitals are the fruits of the sailor's hard earnings, hence when the sailor—sick and destitute—becomes an inmate, he is no pauper, but a proprietor, enjoying the benefits of a hospital, his own earnings have erected. So when seamen of the United States, in foreign countries, are compelled to seek the protection and relief of the Consulate, they sppear not as paupers, but as citizens who may justly claim, not a poor, meagre, and beggarly support, but a comfortable and respectable support. The Consul is instructed by the Government to Open Despatch to the Secretary pay special attention to the sailor's wants State at Washington. and necessities. " One essential object," as web-feet be we read in the Consul's Manual, "of the Consular appointment is the protection of American Mariners—a class of our fellow citizens whose habits of life require a kind guardianship of their persons and interest in foreign countries, but at the same time a strict vigilance over their conduct." The United States Government compels the sailor to lay up a portion of his money, in order, to provide for sickness and destitution. From this it appears, when officers of the Government, on American soil, or Consular officers abroad, misapply these funds held, in trust, by the Government, the offence is of the worst description. It is a crime, which should be surely punished as much as that ot a saving's bank defaulter, who has in charge the earnings of the poor laborer. No man pays his way through this world more honorably or by harder work than the sailor, and to treat him as a pauper, or make him feel that he is such, is unbecoming any officer of the Government of the United States, or any other government. We rejoice that it is our privilege to live in a community where there is a wholesome public sentiment upon this subject. Our Sailor's Home is a monument to the benevolence of this community towards the sailor. Mrs. Crabb, keeper of the Home, the widow of a mnrine officer of the United States Navy, who came to Honolulu as Navy Agent, we rejoice, to know, has the highest interest of the sailor for time and eternity, at heart, and we hope when the United States Hospital is discontinued, the Consul will send seamen to the Home, when detained here, but not under the necessity of going to the Hospital. P. S. Since writing the above paragraph, we learn that the Marine Fund of the United States amounts to «18,000,000! Surely Jack is no pauper on the cold charities of the world!! •• Nor must Uncle Pain's of forgotten." President Lincoln. To Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State : The undersigned has frequently been requested, by an officer of the United States Government, to address you upon certain questions relating to the treatment of foreign seamen sailing under the United States flag, I have hitherto declined doing so, from the impression that any representation which I could make would not probably be read except by some under clerk in the State Department, and my labor would be lost. Instead of sending my communication through the usual channel,! have thought it would not be regarded as improper to address you through the columns of a paper which has, during the last quarter of a century, been devoted to the interests and welfare of seamen. While conducting this paper I have, in a special manner, kept American seamen in view, but I have never lost sight of the sea. men of other nations. The facts are simply these It is well known that a large number of foreign sea. men are engaged on board of American vessels. This is especially true of American whaleships cruising in the Pacific Ocean and touching at the Sandwich Islands for recruits. There is either a defect in the laws of the United States in regard to foreign seamen shipped on board whaleships, or there is a wrong interpretation of those laws. In the application and practical working of those laws, upon a fair estimate, nearly, if not more, than one half of those serving on board of American whaleships as seamen, are thrown outside of the pale of relief in case they are sick and disabled. The laws as now interpreted, do not allow relief to be administered by the Consul to foreign seamen shipped in foreign ports to be discharged in foreign ports. Any one acquainted with the character of the crews of whaleships, will readily see that this riding of the United States Consul shut outs all Polynesians (or kanakas) and a vast number of Portuguese seamen. These two classes, Polynesian and Portuguese, will make up good one half of the seamen on board the sixty or : ' �TOE 10 seventy whaleships which touched at Honolulu last fall. I make the statement without fear of contradiction, that the successful prosecution of the American whale fishery in this ocean, is absolutely dependent upon these men— these foreign seamen shipped in foreign ports, and to be discharged in ports foreign to the United States. The whole matter of shipping and discharging seamen attached to American whaleships has undergone a revolution during the last few years. When whaleships leave New Bedford and other American ports, they sail short-harmed, touch at some of the Portuguese islands in the Atlantic and fill up their crews. The ships come around the Horn, to remain in this part of the world for several years, but almost every year the crews entirely change —the process of discharging and shipping crews is constantly going forward while these ships are abroad. It must readily appear to any one acquainting himself with the facts, that many of the crews eventually are made up of Portuguese and Kanakas who never stepped upon American soil and never expect to go thither. These men are however toiling and spending their lives under the American flag, but without enjoying the relief of American seamen, when sick and disabled. The result is that many seamen are turned away from the United States Consulate, and compelled to seek relief from the community at large, who should be in the United States Hospital. Persons of this description are now in Honolulu. Mrs. Crabb, at the Sailors' Home, and theLadies' Strangers' Friend Society, of Honolulu, come in to assist the United States Government to support sick and disabled seamen. Cases are constantly occurring in Honolulu, wherein the United States Government ought to furnish relief, but we are told, according to instructions from Washington, relief cannot be afforded. The subject was thoroughly discussed several years ago, and Mr. Severance, the United States Commissioner, wrote to Washington upon the subject. At his suggestion the American ladies of Honolulu sent a petition to Congress. This petition was numerously signed, and 1 have the impression it was presented while you was a member of the Senate. (See copy of petition annexed.) This occurred in 1853. As a result, United States Consuls at the Sandwich Islands have provided for and relieved foreign seamen sailing under our flag until a recent date, but a more stringent application of the law has now been enforced, and it works very hard upon this class of seamen. The following note, which I recently received from the attending physician of the Queen's Hospital, may be taken as an illustration of cases which are frequently occurring in Honolulu: — "Mb. Damon, Dear Sir: Will yon lie good enough to interest yourself in behalf of this poor fellow, lie is far gone with consumption ; arrived sick here two mouths ago in an American whaleship, and was refused admittance into the American Seamen's Hospital, because be was a foreigner and had only shipped tor the season. Our little Hawaiian Government would not cast tbe man oil, if be had arrived in an Hawaiian vessel under these circumstances. It would be a shame If tbe great American Government should cast him off! As a change has taken place in the management of the American Hospital, perhaps you will find it possible to procure the man's admittance, and thereby much oblige Yours. Ac., W. Himjchkand." riiiKM). MARCH, I 8 « .. For myself, as an American, to receive a j Consuls of the United States upon this subnote like this makes the blush of shame to ject, and my views are fully expressed in the cover my face, when I know that this same j annexed paragraphs (see Enclosure No. 2), physician is in daily attendance upon u native born citizen of Boston, who is now under the protection and relief of the British Consulate simply because he shipped on board a British vessel in New York and came to the Pacific under the British flag. Now, 1 desire to witness a similar rule adopted and carried out with regard to foreign seamen shipping under the American flag. I tielieve the true doctrine to be that the flag relieves as wtll as protects those sailing under it. I copy as follows from the United States Consuls' Manual, page 234: "The rule laid down by the distinguished person who first held the office of Secretary of State, Mr. Jefferson, was ' That the vessel being published in August, 1860, about the time the Queen's Hospital was established in Honolulu. Allow me to call your attention to a topic which is, at the present time, occupying the thoughts of the Americans located upon these Islands. By the annexed table, recently published in the Pacific Commercial Advertiser, you will see a tabular view of the sugar plantations, and the amount of capital invested in them. Probably threefourths of these plantations are owned by American citizens. The products of these plantations find a market on the Western Coast of America—in California, Oregon, Washington Territory and the British Provinces. According to a careful estimate, the revenue derived by the United States on our Island products amounts to nearly $500,000. Our planters, and Americans generally, upon these Islands, are exceedingly anxious that there should be some modification of the American, shall be evidence that the seamen on board are such,' and fifty years afterwards it was restated with no less precision by one of the most eminent of American statesmen, ' that in every regularly documented merchant vessel, the crew who navi- present treaty between the United States and gate it will find their protection in the flag this Kingdom, so that it may operate favorwhich is over them.'

No American vessels of war have since visited Ascension. The " Pirate " Shenandoah visited that island in 1865,and destroyed four American whaleships. This fact is well known.

KKititt tin The Friend i. iubl. Now the Oldest Paper in I, No. 1,of the Friend, appeared the 18th of January, 1843. The following summary statement of newspapers at the Islands, and on the coast, we copy from the Advertiser. It is interesting to notice the rapid increase of newspapers during the last few years. A great change has taken place within about twenty years, or since the first newspaper, in 1846, was issued in California. We believe the Alta may justly claim to be the legitimate •successor of the Californian, edited by the Rev. Walter Colton, at Monterey, in 1846, nnd published by Colton nnd Semple. The first number of the Californian contained the Proclamation of the President of the United States declaring war against Mexico. A summary of California news, we published from the Californian, on the 15th of September, 1846 ! During the Mexican war, the inhabitants of Honolulu, were twelve months without receiving news or letters from Boston! TO r.vcirir NKwsr.U'Kii I'kksw.—Although hardthe Pacific.—Volume United States Hospital.—For the honor of the United States Government, we do sincerely hope the old hospital system is to be forever broken up. We lenrn from the Gazettethat A. D. Cartwright, Esq., the late Pun veyor, has resigned his position, and the United States Consul hns applied to the Trustees of the Queen's Hospital and Sailors' Home for their lowest terms. Replies have already been returned, and now we hope that private individual?, or United States Government officials, will be forever debarred from amassing fortunes out of the proceeds of the Hospital. The only proper method, and one free from all chance of peculation, is to send sick United States sailors to tho Queen's Hospital, and those in health (hut under the care of the Consulate,) to the Home. This has been our settled opinion for years. In this way the Government will not be defrauded, or the sailor ill-treated. We are confident that the policy of the United States Government is to do well for the sailor, and thereby promote the prosperity of the commerce of the country. We pledge our word that we shall watch the progress of these negotiations with a jealous eye, and if Jack does not get his honest and just rights at the hands of the United States Consul, the world ly twenty years have elapsed since the first paper shall know it. was issued in California, the number now publishWe copy below, from the Hawaiian Gaed in the l'ucilic coast, is very large.as will appear zette, the notice of an important decision, of by the following : there are doilies. tri12 1 the Supreme Court.

We have been favored with the following summary, by a passenger per the Nimrod. Australia, especially the colonies of New South Wales and Queensland, are at present suffering a period ol depression. The causes of this are various, Such as several seasons of drought, the monetary crisis in London, overtrading, the failure of leading business houses, and the undue extent to which immigration from the old country was assisted. Numbers are now leaving the different colonies for California. A new education bill has passed the lower house in New South Wales, founded on the American system, which, with slight modifications, is likely to become law. It meets with popular approval, .though opposed by the clergy of the churches of England and Rome, who cling to the present plan of grant for denominational schools. All churches are dependent for support on the voluntary " principle, though an effort "was made during the present session of Parliament, to return to the endowment schemes of former days. The various branches of Presbyterians have formed a Union, and are making greater efforts lo evangelize the interior. Of the Congregational churches, (in number about 18.) two-thirds are in Sydney and suburbs, and next to nothing is done in the Home Mission work. In Victoria and South Australia, much more has been done ; the number of their churches is larger and distributed more through the country. There are also about a dozen churches in Tasmania, and as many in New Zealand. The Congregattonalists have three Theological Seminaries in Australasia—one at Sydney, another at Melbourne, and a third at Hobart-town. These have half-a-dozen students each, educating as Ministers or .Missionaries. It is intended to train the London Society's Missionaries for the South Seas in the Colonies, rather than to send them out from England. There are agents for the Society residing in Melbourn and Sydney. Missionaries visit these places to recuperate, and several superanuated Missionaries reside there. The John Williams; a beautiful vessel, costing some £10,000. recently visited the d.fferent Colonies, and proceeded with five Missionaries and their wives to the Islands, but running on to a reef was obliged to put back to Sydney for repairs. The various religious bodies, except the * Congregationalists, have their denominational organs in Melbourne or Sydney. The temperance movement makes little progress in these Colonies. Perhaps a half of the Presbyterian. Methodist, Baptist and Congregationalist Ministers in Sydney are abstainers ; " but the drinking usages "oftotal "shouting" and " noblerizing " are the fruitful cause of crime, vice, disease and poverty. It is almost impossible to find any but "a drunken doctor" at the diggings, and it is sad to meet with multitudes of iMPoitT.vxT Decision.—The full Court Tuesday rendered an important decision upon two soils brought by Got.

Since our last Annual Meeting the management of the Home has been left to the Executive Committee, and those who conducted the boarding department. The Chairman of the Executive Committee would submit tbe following brief report: At our last Annual Meeting the Treasurer reported a deficiency of $23 59, but as the Trustees retired from the meeting, one of them, Capt. D. Smith, left a donation of $20, which, together with another donation of $25, by Melchers & Co. (unintentionally omitted in the report), enabled the Society to start upon the labors of a new year free from debt. The present state of our finances will be reported by our Treasurer. I am happy to report that the necessary funds have been forthcoming to pay the salary of the keeper of the Reading Room and meet the ordinary incidental expenses. The past year is the first thai an efficient and judicious keeper of the Reading Room and Depository has ever been employed throughout the whole year. The labors of Mr. Dunscombe have been of essential service in rendering the Home a desirable place of resort for boarders and other seamen who have visited the Home for the purpose of writing letters and obtaining useful reading matter when they were about to sail. It is sincerely to be hoped that Mr. Dunscombe, or some other person equally well qualified, will continue to be employed by the Society. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were the managers of the Home one year ago, but soon after our Annual Meeting, their health failing, they sold out their interest to Mrs. Crabb p.nd son. who immediately took possession. As under former managers, so now—under the management of Mrs. Crabb and her son —the Home has been kept open for boarding and lodging seamen, or any transient boarders or travelers. So far as is known, Mrs. Crabb and her son have fully carried out the design of the friends and patrons of this establishment. As it has been with former managers, so they have found that there were many trials and difficulties attending the proper management of the Home. The losses by boarders, who have left without settling their bills, has operated to discourage and dampen their zeal, still they have persevered, and are still inclined to do all in their power to render this house a real blessing to the seafaring and resident community. In glancing over the years which have elapsed since the Home was opened for boarders, too much praise cannot be bestowed upon Mrs. Thrum, Mrs. Oat, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Crabb. Those four ladies have done more to render the Home a success than all other friends of the establishment. They have lived here, toiled here, and often been compelled to put up with instances of ingratitude which I should be ashamed to record. Yet these good women have surmounted the peculiar and perplexing difficulties of their station, and accomplished much good. For one i regret that the funds at our disposal will not .justify us in making them some handsome testimonial. We ought, I think, to do this—raise a few hundred dollars to refit »nd repaint the inside of the Home. Some little aid of this kind would very much encourage the managers. This is not, neitherhas it ever been, a moneymaking concern, and at times barely has it been sustained. The losses by bad debts have always amounted to nearly ten per cent, on the whole amount of receipts. Even under the very best management lossess occur, hence it will appear that the managers are the most generous contributors for the support of the Home, yet on no account would I see the Home broken up. Its usefulness is great. Speaking in mercantile style, for the amount invested it is the best paying institution in Honolulu. Hoping that it may still prosper, I submit the foreS. C.

AFriendly Letter from the South Seas. ) Mangaia, South Pacific, Friend, left here by whaling captains. Its pages have made the names of many of our American brethren very familiar to us, and has led us often to plead at the throne of grace for a continuance of the marked prosperity enjoyed by them in their Master's work. Especially do I feel interested in the labors of our American friends in Melanesia, seeing that our own way seems to be completely hedged up at present, both in Eastern and Western Polynesia. The only chance of our doing anything at the present time seems to be to advance towards the line, and there to shake hands with you in all love and Christian fellowship. You are probably aware that our teachers have been expelled from the Loyalty Islands by the French. But if the Lord of lhe harvest should deign to give us a little employment in the islets south of the line, but north of Samoa, we shall be deeply thankful. For it is only as Christian churches work for their Master that they can be said to live at all. Doubtless these little islands (Ellice's group, dec.) have been too long neglected. God grant that this work may progress in these seas, despite all hindrances, until every South Sea Islander shall know and love the Saviour's name. Although late, permit me to congratulate you and all the friends of liberty on the glorious conclusion of the fearful struggle the North was engaged in. You have now indeed a history to write. I felt as much afflicted by the news of the cowardly assassination of that noble man, President Lincoln, as though he had been our own sovereign. America may well be proud ol the martyred champion of freedom. I cannot help thanking God that the great question of slavery has been virtually settled on the vast American continent. In this sentiment I am sure that all my brethren in these seas would cordially unite. You may have heard of the hurricane that completely desolated Rarotonga and Mangaia on March 27th ult. Two churches were laid low, and two hundred and sixtyeight native reed houses were blown down. Trees and truits of all kinds were demolished. A great scarcity of food prevails over the island nt the present time. But for the taro the people must have perished. Through God's mercy that was spared. A schooner, the Lraine, of Tahiti, unhappily went down off this village with ten souls on board. Three white men (two out the three were Americaus, but I could not learn their names) were amongst the lost. The captain was on shore weather-bound; could not possibly get over the reef. We knew nothing of the sad event until the day following, when two natives floated ashore alive on the cook's galley. Alas, for the poor fellows hurried at a moment's notice into eternity. This island now seems restored to its former state—the churches are restored; the native dwellings are for the most part set up again—but it will be long ere the hurricane of March. 1866, will be forgotten by us or the people. In March 1846, our previous hurricane occurred, just twenty years inter- Hervev Islands, Sept. 29, 1566. { Dear Brother \—A few weeks ai;o I received, via Tahiti, a kind note from you, dated August, 1865; also, a volume of Macaulay, with quite a number of Friends, ice., for which accept my best thanks. I am much obliged to you, my dear sir, for procuring me the volume of Macaulay, which I forthwith read through with melancholy pleasure as the last production of a great mind. The lines in the Friend, relative to the visits of the Peruvian slavers to vening between these unwelcome visitations.

Kanagawa, Oct. 12, 1866. Dear Mr. Damon:—Thankful am I for your welcome letter from Honolulu, and to know that our fate was a matter of more than passing interest. God help the shipwrecked T*o one, save those who have been in such peril, knows what trials and dangers beset the lives of those who go down My ' to the sea. The particulars of the wreck of the Libelle will have reached you ere this, and I will but revert to the occasion to say that it has added a period of twenty years to our lives. The kindness, generosity and humanity displayed by the Governor of Guam is beyond all praise. Francisco Moscosa y Lara, his name will indeed long live in our memory, and his attention to the Hawaiian subjects who were of our party will no doubt receive the attention of His Majesty. The letter for Manjero was given to his wife, but as he is in the war you may not hear from him for some time. Kisaboro is in Canton, the guest of the Governor. His visit to foreign countries has proved a blessing to his country already. The price of rice having become so high, owing to the war, that poor people find it hard to live, Kisaboro has been in correspondence with the Government, nnd al- Government Gazette, it appears that on the 7th of December, 1866, there were in Honolulu, and surrounding country including, say, south side of the mountains and seven miles east and west, 13,521 Hawaiians and 1,851 Foreigners. From the table, as published, it appears there has been a decrease of Hawaiians, since 1860, of 789, and an increase of Foreigners of 212. Total of foreign and native population, 15,372. Now, for the religious welfare of this number of people, there are as follows: Two large Protestant native Churches, One large Catholic native Church, Fort Street Church, Bethel Union Church, and the Reformed Catholic Church. All of these churches are supplied with settled Pastors and preachers. In all, probably not less than fifteen, or upon an average of one minister (including Protestant and Catholic) to every 1000 souls.

MARCH I, 1807. General Morgan L. Smith. —This gentleman, recently arrived from the United States, has succeeded to the office of United States Consul. During the war he bore a conspicuous part in the Western campaigns. On the breaking out of the rebellion in 1861, he was residing in St. Louis, and immediately raised a purely American company of soldiers and entered the Union army. During the whole war he was in active service. He finally rose to the rank of Major General of Volunteers. He was in several engagements, and accompanied General Sherman to Atlanta in his march through Georgia, but in consequence of a wound, was sent on military duty to Vicksburg. He fought through on the Union line. We are glad that when the Republic has favors to show, and appointments to make, the soldiers and officers of the war get their share. This is right. Men who have fought through that war with characters unspotted, merit the honors and rewards of Congress and the people.

You owe this to the Word of God, to your quiet Sabbaths, and to education." The American papers a few months ago, contained frequent allusions to the visit of the celebrated Presbyterian divine, Doctor McCosh, to the United States. His testimony is well worthy of the serious attention of every patriot and christian.

Forty Yrsrs When the new missionary ship Morning Stir was launched at East Boston the other day, there stood on her deck a man who forty years ago navigated a little craft of only forty "tons from Boston to Honolulu for the American Board. Thf person was Captain James Hunnewell, and the vessel which he sailed to the Pacific was the Missionary Packet, the first vessel sent by the Board to the Sandwich Islands. The voyage of the little vessel was a tempestuous and eventlul one, occupying nine weary months, during which Captain Hunnewell and his four companions suffered great hardships.

She was well adapted to ply among the Islands, but poorly adapted to perform the passage out, particularly at the season of the year when she left Boston and was off the stormy regions of Cape Horn.

To meet the question that may arise in the mind of any reader of the foregoing— What could induce Mr. Hunnewell to em- bark on such a hazardous voyage in such an unsuitable vessel at that inclement season of the year at home, and was likely to be off Cape Horn ? I would reply that this was not my first but my third voyage to the North 18 67. trade at a future day. When I came to see how small the packet was I was disappointed, but it was too late to give up. I had purchased my cargo, and had engaged to go, and however badly 1 felt when I came to the test, I did not dare to say that I was afraid to go. I embarked with a heavy heart and with many discouragements, but a kind and all wise Providence guided and sustained me and mine, and in due time I reached my port of destination, planted my independent mercantile house there, which house has been continued under different heads independent of each other, with respectable success down to the present day, my own success far exceeding *my own most sanguine expectations.

"Nor mast Uncle Sam's web-feet he fornntton." President Lincoln. In our last issue we endeavored to show that American seamen, when sick and destitute, were not paupers. The twenty cents per month tax, and the three months extra wages, settle that point very conclusively. As the Government assumes the right to expend the sailor's money, we maintain that it should be done upon the principles of strict economy, the very best system of hospital accommodations, and in accordance with the general sentimentof propriety current among seamen. We hold that the United States Consul, established in a foreign port, is bound to have some regard to the known opinions and feelings of ship-masters, officers and seamen. Now we claim to know what that opinion is upon the proper treatment of sick sailors, their funeral rites, and the treatment of those in health. It hns been opposed to keeping up, at an enormous expense, a second rate sailor's boarding house in the outskirts of the city, and calling it the United States Hospital, which is merely a pauper asylum of the United States Government, where those in health, and not needing medical treatment, are unceremoniously crowded together with those sick and diseased with all the ills and maladies " that flesh is heir to." Officers and seamen in perfect health have been compelled to mess with and among those who were in mll stages of disease, while some were actually dying. When they remonstrated, they were summarily discharged or made to feel that they were in the situation of dependent paupers. We have known officers and seamen, entitled to the Consular protection, to forsake the establishment and seek board in town, casting themselves upon their friends or some boarding house keeper. We will not dwell upon the past; let by" gones be by-gones; " but for the future—for the credit of the United States Government and the welfare of seamen—we hope the Consul will break up this system and separate the well from the sick. We have already intimated how this may be done, viz. bysending the sick to the Queen's Hospital, and those in health to the Home, or to some re- : spectable boarding house. Three times, at least, has the United States Government endeavored to reform this system, but the good intentions of the Government have been hitherto thwarted. We refer to the visit of the sloop of war Levant in 1860, Dr. Baxley's tour of inspection in 1861, and the mission of T. F. Wilson, Esq., in 1866. The first and second attempts were �21 THE KRIKMI, M \ IM 11. 1867. signal failures, and it is yet somewhat doubtful whether the third will prove a success. We are confident it will not, if through any mismanagement the old system is perpetuated, although there may be a retrenchment of expenses. The honest truth is, the whole system is bad. We are not aware -that the United States Government keeps up any such establishment in any part of the world, and there is no more necessity for it in Honolulu than in London, Liverpool, Havre, or any other port foreign to the United States. Dr. Baxley, the Government special agent, has always been understood to have reported against it. Mr. Wilson may have succeeded ir. reducing expenses, but we maintain that it has been at the sacrifice of the sailor's welfare, and thereby to the injury of American commerce. One case of hardship has already been reported in the public prints. The course adopted in regard to the burial of seamen has already given just cause of offense, and if persisted in, will be made a subject ot more complaint. But we confidently hope that all abuses will be rectified under the management of General Smith. We will add one more remark : if the United States Government is determined to keep up an establishment for sick and destitute seamen, (hitherto contrary to all principles of economy and sanitary rule,) let it be done in a style becoming a gteat, powerful and commercial nation. Let a site be selected and purchased, and suitable buildings erected thereon. Let the whole be done in a becoming manner, and not in the present jobbing style, or that which has been practiced for many years. If it reflects more honor upon the Government to maintaina separate establishment, let it be done in a style really to honor the Government and promote the sailor's welfare. As the sailor is compelled fo foot the bill, let him have a voice in its management. If seamen cannot be suitably provided for under the Consulate, we shall petition for a branch of the United States Sanitary Commission to be established in Temperance Legion.—The effort to reEDITOR'S TABLE. vive the temperance cause in Honolulu has Reviews of New Books on Polynesia. resulted in the organization of the TemperYears in Socth Central Poltkesia—Being ance Legion.

These are books of interest, and written by men who have rendered themselves capable of treating upon affairs in Polynesia from having lived and labored among the people. The first book we shall notice, relates to the Tonga or Friendly Islands. This volume was written by the Rev. Thomas West, a Missionary, laboring for ten years at the Friendly Islands under the patronage of the Wesleyan Missionary Society of England. It will be remembered by those familiar with the history of missions in the South Seas, that the Tonga or Friendly Islands were first occupied as a missionary field by the missionaries of the London Missionary Society, on the first establishment of Protestant Missions in the South Seas, as early as 1797. That enterprise failed, and subsequently the Wesleyan Missionaries entered the field and have labored with encouraging success. From the preface of Mr. West's book, we learn, that at the Friendly Islands there are "169 Protestant places of worship. Connected with these there are 24 Resident European and Native Ministers ; 13 Catechists; 214 Day-school Teachers; 676 Sabbath-school Teachers ; 856 Lay Preachers ; 9.S22 Church-members, and 248Day-schools, containing 9,712 Scholars. The number of regular attendants upon public worship is about 30,000, and more than £3,000 per annum are contributed voluntarily by the people for religious purposes." This statement shows that this mission must have proved a glorious success. The King of the Friendly Islands, George Tubou, is represented as a sovereign who is thoroughly converted to the christian religion, and is recognized among the number of tactual preachers of the gospel. King George rules with much ability and dignity. He has �22 THE FRIEND, MARCH, 1867. granted his subjects a Constitutional Government. A copy of the Constitution and Laws we published in our columns in April, 1864. How far His Majesty King George was influenced by the progress of events at the Hawaiian Islands, we cannot say, but, that the Hawaiian Kingdon was made the subject of consideration, we learn from the following remarks, on pages 302-3. Mr. West thus writes m his journal on the 13th of January, 1855: ',' I had also considerable conversation with the king in reference to another very important subject. Some months ago, I received an official document from M. St. Julian, commissioner from the King of Hawaii, (Sandwich Islands,) requesting me to translate the same to King George, which 1 accordingly did. The substance of the communication was the expression of a desire, on the part of the government and King of Hawaii, to enter into political and commercial relationships with the Friendly Islands, and urging upon the king the duty of taking steps to secure a formal recognition of his independence by foreign powers. Hawaii, mice as barbarous as imv country of Polynesia, and much more degraded, morally*, than ever Tonga was in the worst times, has now become tively wealthy a prosperous ami comparastate, treated with, and rec- ognised as an equal, by all the great nations of the world. " It is a highly instructive fact, and very suggestive of the remarkable progress of religion and civilization in these parts of the earth, to find negociations of this kind formally opened between kings and nations, who, a few short years since, were henthens and cannibals. In a communication addressed to myself, it is said that, the desire of His " all the PolyneHawaiian Majesty is to see sian races become as prosperous, and as fully independent, as the nation over which he rules." His Hawaiian Majesty strongly recommends King George to establish a constitutional government. A copy of that adopted by the Hawaiians, and recently published in the Sydney newspapers, has been translated and laid before the king. It is receiving his best consideration ; but, at present, the king thinks that the introduction of such a movement would he inopportune. Certain I am that the Tonguese have better capabilities, and greater facilities for becoming an important people, than even the Hawaiians; but such sweeping reforms and alterations in the political condition and laws of any people must, in great measure, be a work of time." This interesting volume of Mr. West, is accompanied with a portrait of King George, a good map of the Tonga or Friendly Islands, and an Appendix, containing remarks upon the Tonguese Language and Grammar. THE KING ANO PEOPLE OF FIJI. This book introduces its readers to the real cannibals—eaters of human flesh. The Fijians made no scruple of boldly asserting that they were man-eaters, and they did so because they loved the food. On a certain rv»f>»s,inn. Kin"' Thnkonibnu's soldiers return- ed from battle and presented themselves before his "second Queen," Adi-mai-Naikasakasa, and she thus publicly reproached one of them: Shame on you, to return without even one man for me to eat." It should be remembered that such scenes occurred not long years ago, in the dark ages of a remote antiquity, but even within a very few ytars. The incident just noticed occurred in 1854. The Fiji Islands are a beautiful group in the South Pacific. They were thoroughly surveyed by the United States Exploring Expedition about 1840. In the third volume of the " United States Exploring Expedition " will be found Wilkes' narrative of a visit to those islands, and a map will lie found in volume sixth. To any one wishing to become thoroughly acquainted with those islands, this narrative of Wilkes will be found interesting. Several books have however since been published, which more fully unfold the character and condition of the people, viz. : Fiji and Fijians," in two volumes; Capt. J. E. Erskine's (R. N.) "Journal of a Cruise among the Islands of the Western Pacific, in H. B. M.'s S. Havannah," and Mrs. Wallis' " Life in Fiji." This last is the work written by the wife of an American ship-master, engaged in the biche-de-mer trade. No books, however, are more valuable and reliable than those of the English Wesleyan missionaries, who have during the last thirty years labored so nobly, courageously and successfully in reclaiming those vile cannibals from their abominable practices to the Christian religion. If any skeptic after this shall question whether there is power in Christianity to subdue the most besotted and degraded heathen, then we would recommend that he make a voyage to the Fiji Islands, and hear the story of a Fijian conversion from the lips of some of those old and veteran missionaries, or the Fijian himself. The book we have now under review was written by n brother of our fellow-townsman, J. T. Waterhouse, Esq. He was fourteen years a laborious missionary among the Fijians, and his father was superintendent of the Wesleyan Missions in Australia and the South Seas. There is a noble tribute to the father's great usefulness and admirable character as a public officer of the Missionary Association, in pages 87-91 of this book, which is copied from Fiji and the Fijians." It would be quite impossible for us to present even a mere outline of the great variety of topics discussed in this volume, but we can assure our readers that it will amply repay the perusal. It brings the history of the islands down to about 1855, when cannibalism was formally abandoned as a national prao tier under the authority of the Government, " " " and Christianity established. Mr. Water house, the writer, intimates, on page 294, that he has in preparation another volume, as a sequel to this. We shall anxiously look for its publication, and we hope it will be accompanied by a good map or chart, resembling that accompanying Mr. West's work on the Tonga Islands. From the public prints and a gentleman who has long resided at the Fiji Islands, we learn that Thakombau is now acknowledged by Fijians, foreigners and foreign governments, (England, France and ihe United States,) as the King of Fiji. He has his Court Residence on Bau,and a young American is his Secretary of State. About 1,200 foreigners reside upon the gioup, commerce is increasing, the agricultural resources of the islands are being developed, and in fine, Christian-Fiji is taking its place among the civilized and Christian nations of the earth. The entire population of the group is estimated nt 150,000. MISSION I.IKK I.N THE ISLANDS OK THE PACIFIC. In this volume we have portrayed the life of one who has been styled the " model missionary of Polynesia.'' Who that has read missionary intelligence, has not often met with ibe name of the Rev. Anion Buzacott, of Rarotonga, one of the Hervey Islands ? He was the early friend, co-lahort-r and companion of Williams, the Martyr of Erromanga. It was the fortune of Williams to be an enterprising explorer, but of Buzacott to settle down on one of those beautiful islands of the South Seas, and there labor dili- gently, laboriously and successfully. Very often have we listened to the narrations of ship-masters and sailors who have visited Rarotonga, and it was once our privilege to correspond with him. He died at Sydney, September 20, 1564, where he had retired on account of ill health. He was a missionary of the London Missionary Society. We hail with delight the publication of so mnny new hooks on Polynesia. As we had occasion to remark on another occasion, the time has not come to write a history of Missions, or Christianity in Polynesia, hut the materials are being gathered for a history of thrilling interest. Other books, we doubt not, are in course of preparation, and whenever any of them are laid upon our table, we shall most cheerfully give them a review or notice. We shall do it con amore, for in the subject of Missions among the heathen, anil especially unevangelized Polynesians, we take a deep interest. In our estimation, there is no subject of greater importance which can come before the human mind, for the time is sure to come When one mng shall employ all nations, all shall cry, Worthy the Lamb, tor he was slain for us.

This is the third volntiK' of the History of the American Revolution, and ninth of the general history of the Unik'd States. More than thirty years ago, while a student in college, we remember to have read Bancroft's first volume, and it has been our privilege to read the successive volumes as they have appeared at comparatively long intervals, or upon an average of about one volume in three or four years. This history has been Bancroft's life-work, but a noble work. During this long period he has freely participated in the stirring events and politics of the country, and frequently enjoyed the honors and emoluments of office. At one time he was Secretary of War, at another, Minister to England, and by the very last mail the report comes that he has been appointed Collector of the Port of Boston. During his life, the idea that he was the historian of the United States does not appear to have been absent from his mind. While he has been writing the history of his country, that country has been growing in size. Thirty years ago, all those vast regions west of the Rocky Mountains were almost terra incognita. It was in 1836, we believe, when the Rev. Mr. Spaulding and Dr. Whitman, —with their heroic wives— crossed those mountains as Missionaries of the American Board. Those ladies were the first white women who had ever undertaken that perilous journey. Perhaps to Dr. Whitman, more than to any other human l>eing, is our country indebted, for having opened a pathway to the advancing troops of immigrants and secured lor our country tlic rich valley of the Columbia River. The visit of Dr. Whitman to Washington, during the per.oil of Mr. Webster's Secretaryship under President Tyler, resulted in most important events to Oregon and our country. When some future Bancroft shall write his country's history, due prominence and credit will be given to the murdered missionaries of Oregon ! That same historian will not fail to hold up to deserved contempt and execration others who figured about that time in the allairs of Oregon. We have perused the ninth volume of Bancroft with intense interest. It relates to the Declaration of Independence, and the military movements subsequent to that event, including, of course the narrative of the battle upon Long Island, the occupation of New York city by the British troops, the retreat of Washington through the Jerseys, the surrender of Burgoyne, and many other important military events. Not the least interesting portion of the volume relates to the correspondence between the various European Governments —including France, Russia, Spain, and various German kingdoms, respecting the new born Republic over the great waters of the Atlantic. Our narrow limits will not allow us to dwell upon this interesting topic, but we can most.cordially recommend this volume to the careful perusal of the lovers of historical rending. When we finished reading this ninth volume of Bancroft, we felt somewhat as Dr. Johnson remarked that he felt when finishing reading Pilgrim's Progress, this is "one of the few books which every reader wishes had been longer." We have this consolation, however, Mr. Bancroft promises that shortly he will publish the tenth volume, which will complete the American Revolution. " For that volume " says Bancroft, '• the materials are collected and arranged, and it will be completed and published without any unnecessary delay. A single document only had been wanting." But for this document he had sent to Mr. Biglelow, the American Minister at Taris, and the French Minister, M. Drouyn dc Lhuys, had ordered a copy to be made from the archives of the French Government. When historians take such unwearied pains to verify their statements, well may their readers take delight in the perusal of their writings. 25 {(SUbjMrus, f101.24.

[The design of our Savior, in uttering the parable from which the text was selected, was to enforce the idea that man should be ever ready for the sudden coming of the Lord. First. Thecoming ofthe Lord (1) referred to his advent 1,800 years ago ; (2,) His second coming to judge the world; and (3,) His coming at death. Second. Preparation for His coming at death. (1.) Possession of true piety. (2.) Habitual communion and fellowship with God ; and (3,) Engagedness in His service. Third. Blessedness of thosefound prepared jor the Lord's coming. (1.) They will enjoy the approbation of God; (2.) They will be found prepared to enter the rest of heaven; and (3,) Their blessedness will be eternal. ] The discussion of the above points omitted in printing. 1 would now invito your attention, while I dwell briefly upon the life and character of one who has, in the prime of his manhood, and the midst of a career of eminent usefulness, been suddenly removed from the bosom of his family and the busy scenes of official life. The announcement of his death, so unexpected, gave a shock to this community, and the spontaneous closing of places of business indicated the esteem and respect which was entertained for the deceased. The Government in whose service he has so Jong been employed, and the community at large, have paid becoming respect to his memory. As it was my privilege to have become acquainted with him before that of any other person on these Islands, to have labored with him in various works of benevolence, and for ten years to have been his Pastor, while he officiated as Deacon of this Church during most of that period, I have felt that it would not be deemed unbecoming on my part to advert to his life and character, now that he has ■• — — — passed onward to the eternal world, beyond the influence of%nan's censure or praise. From my first acquaintance I regarded him as a young man of decided ability, and perfectly reliable. I formed this opinion almost immediately, and I rejoice that I was never �Til 26 compelled to change my opinion. He brought no letters of introduction, but his honest face, modest demeanor and gentle manners impressed me so favorably, that I gave him a cordial welcome atid the hearty assurance that I would do all in my power for him. 1 introduced him to merchants and officers of Government. It has always been a source of much gratification to my mind that he then appreciated my kindness, and never forgot it. He arrived at Honolulu on the 30th of March, 1844, and hence spent aboutone-half of his life a resident on the Islands. Before landing, and before I had ever seen him, he wrote me a note, requesting the loan of some books for a cruise upon the Northwest Coast. (At this time he was on board the English ship Peruvian, Captain Brooks, of St. Johns, New Brunswick.) Accompanying the note he forwarded a few poetical effusions for publication. One of these was entitled "An Early Impression," but written at sea, and from it I quote as follows : "How oft. when but a child. I've roamed Anion); the tombstones );ray. And marked the records of the dead Whose ashes round me lay. "While viewing o'er the various throng Of Adam's family there. My heart, though young, would postal deep, And something say prepare.' "Although since then. I've wandered lar O'er seas, and mountains high, That inward voice hath ne'er been hushed, Pnpart,for thou must <!'<■■' " • ' How pleasing to go. back to a very early period in his life, and recall an event like this. Such were the thoughts suggested to young Robertson's mind, from having in childhood and youth wandered among the graves of his Scottish ancestors. How forcibly do his musings remind one of Gray's in a Country Churchyard." In or"derElegy *.o show that his musings at this period of life, were not the mere promptings of a fanciful and poetical mind, but that underneath there was running a deep current of religious emotion, I quote thefollowing hymn, the manuscript of which he then placed in my hands: "Jesus, my Lord, my Savior. I rest my hope on thee. For thou hast said, I am the way, • Come eiiter in by mo.' (eel that 1 can place no trust (In aught beneath the sky. But on thy righteousness alone For mercy I rely. "Teach me, O Lord, to wean my heart From earthly things away. And fix my thoughts on things'above. Which never shall decay. "I "Be thou my guardian and my friend. In all my Wanderings here. And make my soul's eternal home Where thou art ever near." Here we have the unmistakable proofs that the teachings in his Scottish home, and at the kirk, made a deep «nd salutary impression upon his mind. He was educated amid home influences, such as Burns so beautifully portrays in the " Cottar* Saturday Night." Fortunate for him and the world, those early impressions were never effaced by contact with the rough world. In view of such home influences, Burns might well exclaim : I-KI Ii N !). APRIL, IS6 7 .

The Rev. N. G. Clark has become the Foreign Secretary of the American Board, in the place of the Rev. Dr. Anderson. A recent communication from the new Secretary contained the following " postscript," which has been placed at our disposal. It was not intended for publication, but as the ideas are valuable and opportune, we gladly spread them before our readers : " I trust you will bear with me, brethren, if I refer to a subject which has been a good deal in my thoughts, in considering the state of our churches here at home, and their slowness to meet the demands of the missionary enterprise. It is the personal responsibility of every member of the church for the progress of the Gospel. It is a sad fact, characteristic of most of the churches in this country, as well as of Protestant churches abroad, that the great work of evangelization is confined almost wholly to the ministry, and to a few elect souls in every Christian community who are in"some measure awake to their responsibilities. This type of Christian activity we have inherited from the days of priestly rule, when the laity had nothing to do, but everything relating to religion was left to the priests. Its legitimate fruits are already reached here, in the degree to which the Gospel actually pervades the popular mind and heart. The church holds its own, and but little more. It is a power in the land, but not the controlling, all pervading power it ought to be, and must be, in order to the thorough evangelization of our own country. Progress is making in the right direction by the steady development of Christian activity, but till the church as a whole conies up to its privileges with one heart and one mind, its great work will not be done ; the infidelity anil worldliness of our time will not be put down, our science and philosophy, our social and political institutions will not become truly Christian, and promotive only of Christian culture. " Let the same spirit which prompted you to go abroad, be inspired in the hearts of all your converts. Let every man, woman and child feel that in coining to Christ, and becoming sharers in the blessings of the Gospel, it becomes at once their duty to extend these blessings to others; that their covenant vows in the service of Christ are not mere word%, but solemn realities. Let each new convert be taught at once to speak and act for Christ, and to give of his earnings to promote his cause. However poor in this world's goods, however humble in position, everything hcncelorlh for Christ. Let every native convert feel that be is a fellow-worker with you in the evangelization of his countrymen ; that while you plant he is to water, that God may give the increase." Let the truth go from mouth to mouth, from heart to heart, as among the Cols of India, as recently in Ebon, and in Ponape. The example of some individual churches, as that of Pastor Harms in Germany, and of some communities, as the Moravians, illustrates the power of a general consecration on the part of a whole church. Let there be meetings for prayer and worship and exhortation in every neighborhood where two or three can be FRIEND, 27 APRIL. 1867. gathered together; let the brethren go out two and two, from house to house, from village to village, as they have opportunity, especially on the Sabbath ; let every man who has the ability to speak be put forward to speak for Christ. When the church at Jerusalem was scattered, they went everywhere preaching the Word—not the ministers simply, but the church ; —a marked recognition of the influence and responsibility of every member of the body of Christ. Let collections be taken as often as once a month, if not on every Lord's day, for some specific object of Christian work, for schools, for church building, for native preachers, for religious publications, to pay Bible women or colporteurs, or to help feebler churches. Let every one feel that a part is to be taken in this work, as faithful to Christ, as loving to do something for him, and for the good of others. " Let our mission churches begin right. It is of vital moment to the success of the missionary work, as well as of the final triumph of the Gospel in the earth. Let not bad habits be formed and stereotyped. There are no new agencies promised, no new Gospel to supplement the failures of the present system. •'Many of these suggestions, I dare say, are but truisms in your experience ; many I know are better followed on missionary ground than at home. Please accept them as the suggestions of one who is glad to be your fellow-laborer in this glorious work. N. G. C." Dedication of the Mariner's Church at San Francisco. This fine looking and appropriate edifice was dedicated last Sunday afternoon in the presence of a crowded and attentive audience. A majority of them were of the class most deeply interested in this good enterprise, viz : seamen and their families. Several of our city clergymen were present and assisted in the services. Rev. J. A. Benton, Rev. H. A. Sawtelle and Rev. P. S. Williamson participated, in the order named. Rev. A. L. Stone, D. D., delivered an earnest and appropriate discourse, and made a strong appeal in behalf of the sailor. Rev. M. C. Briggs followed in a pungent address in his own happy manner. Ira P. Rankin, Esq., President of the Port Society, which has had the erection of this church in charge, made a financial statement, showing that over 815,000 had been raised and expended on the church and lot. A debt of $3,000 on the latter remains, secured by mortgage. The large benefactor* of the enterprise, as reported, are : the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, $2,000; Seamen's Friend Society, New York, $1,000 in currency; Mrs. Rowell, $1,000 in United States bonds; California Steam Navigation Company, $500; Mrs. Cummings, of Portland, legacy, $200; $4,500 by forty-five merchants of San Fran- cisco, and about $1,000 in various sums from seamen. Mr. Rankin expressed his belief that, on a thorough canvass of the pity, sufficientwould be obtained to clear offthe entire debt. We earnestly wish this may be so, and that the necessary measures may be speedily used to insure a complete accomplishment of this most necessary and most Christian work. We offer our hearty congratulations to the true friends of the sailor on what their efforts have already accomplished, and devoutly bid them God speed.—Pacific, February Ith, 1867. The Unseen Battle-Field. There is an unseen battle-field In every human breast, - W hero two opposing Ibrees meet, But where tliuy seldom rest. That field is veil'd from mortal sight, "lis only seen by one Who knows alone where victory lies, When each day's light is done. One nrmy clusters strong and fierce, Their ohiel of demon lonn ; His brow is like the thundercloud, His voice, the bursting storm. His captains. Pride, and Lust, and Hate, Whose troops watch night nod do-y, Swilt to detect (be weakest point, And thristing for the fray. Contending with this mighty force Is but a little band ; Yet there with an unquatting front, Tlnse warriors firmly Rand. Their leader is of (<od-like form, Of countenance serene; Ami glowing on bis naked breast A simple cross is seen. His captains, Faith, and Hope, and Love, Point to that wondrous sign, And gazing on it, all receive Strength from a source divine. They feel it speaks a glorious truth, A truih as great as sure, That to lie victors, they must learn To love, confide, endure. That faith sublime, in wildest strife, Imparts a holy calm ; For every deadly blow a shield, For every wound a balm. And when they win that battle-field, Fast toil is quits forgot; The plain where carnage onco had reigned, Becomes a halluwed spot. A spot where flowers of joy and peace Spring from the fertile And breathe the perfume of tlicir praise On every breeze to God. Female education is not altogether a modern introduction. Queen Elizabeth received, under the instruction of the erudite Roger Aschnm, a profound knowledge of the learned languages. Abundant evidence of this exists in a comment on Plato ; in translations into English of Boethius, Sallust, Xenophon, Horace, Plutarch and Sophocles ; in tninslations into Latin of two orations of Isocrates, and a tragedy of Euripides ; in a translation from the French of the meditations of the Queen of Navarre; in a translation of the prayers of Queen Catherine into Latin, Italian and French ; in a volume of prayers written by herself in French, Italian and Spanish; and lastly, in a Greek oration delivered extemporarily at Oxford. There are still extant a number of letters and prayers written or dictated by Elizabeth, and some small poems. �28 THE I II IK Mi , APRIL, 1867. .Singing—Hawaiian liyinn, translation, of ing to have gone to India, where a sister was Spark." ■•Vital Inboring under the auspices of the American ; Prayer—by the Kov.

Another son is now an undergraduate at Williams College, preparing for the Christian ministry, while the remaining children are residing upon the islands. In view of such a death may we not exclaim in the language of the Revelator John, " And 1 heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth : Yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors : and their works do follow them." The New "Morning Star."—Since our last issue, this beautiful Missionary yacht has arrived, been seen, and sailed on her first missionary trip to the Marquesas Islands. She is a beautiful vessel, and very nearly comes up to a sailor's idea of being in every sense of the word, " ship-shape." Her passage out was remarkably quick, and she has established her character as an excellent seaboat and good sailer. Long and prosperous may be her career under her clerical master, the Rev. H. Bingham, jr. The Rev. T. Coan and the Rev. B. H. Parker, were sent as Delegates from Hawaiian Evangelical Association, to the Marquesas Islands. E7* N. B.—We are most happy to learn that the Government, in view of the Missionary character of the Mmrning Star, has remitted the Pilotage and Wharfage on the vessel, amounting to over one hundred dollars. Something new among Sailors.—We have received the programme of a literary exhibition on board U. S. Steamer Vanderbilt, under the special patronage of Rear Admiral Thatcher. The exercises consisted of " Recitations," "Declamations," "Singing," &c, &c. We hope the Lackawanna boys will follow the example of their fellowseamen in the Navy. In every crew of a man-of-war there is always to be found men of decided ability and talent, and all that seems to be required is some skillful leader, who will "haul" it out. "Laundry."—We notice a new establishment in Honolulu, represented by a neatly painted wagnn, about (he streets, labelled, "Chelsea Laundry." We think it must succeed, and recommend it to the patronage of our sea-faring friends. We have received letters for the following persons —Thomas Walley, Otto Keller, George A. Harvey, hark Nautilus, Richard Banebridge. : We are glad to see the Rev. E. Corwin's sermon, on the death and character of Judge Robertson, published in the Advertiser. FRIEND, APRIL, "Social Science." We received a letter some weeks ago from Dr. Wood, well-known to our island renders, in which he refers to a visit to New Haven, Ct., to nttend a meeting of the friends of The reference which he '• Social Science." makes to this subject may lead the minds of some of our readers in a direction, quite different from what they usually run My Dear Sib :—I thank you for your brief note :28d, : which I received on my return yesof August terday from New Haven, Ct, where I had been to attend a meeting of the Amerioan Association for the Promotion of Social Science, and iv which I found some of the beat literary talent of the oountry eugaged. Its object is to guide the public niind to the best means of promoting the objects sought by the various organizations of the day for the amelioration of the oondition of mankinu generally, but more especially ofsuch as are subjects of sympathy. Subjects of discussion may be classed under Industrial, Sanitary, Reformatory, Financial, Economical, Labor, Law, Trade, and whatever else concerns man, iv all the multifarious, simple and cuuiplex relations of his social life; all of which are embraced under the technical designation of Sociology—which means, I suppose, the science of, or laws which govern, all human affairs; —laws which Buckle, in his History of Civilisation, lias attempted, but failed ittiiifactorily to investigate or evolve. You will find something, I think, of the same theory in Draper, which you are reading. In Huston, the attempt is being made to reduce the new science or system to practice (I thiuk the Association originated in Boston); but whether it rests or not upon a eolid basis, it was gratifying to see such a body of men—embracing many of the highest order of mind in the oountry—laboring earnestly, and apparently unselfishly and devotedly, for the good of society, our country, and the world; visiting the widow and fatherless, the sick and those in prison; giving eyes to the blind, ears to tbc deaf, feet to the lame; feeding and clothing the hungry and the naked; all on striotly scientific principles—that is, by the application of the best-selected means, securing the largest results. The system is new only in respect to the very widerange of subjects and details which it attempts to embrace; but so much of " the enthusiasm of humanity" (to borrow a phrase from Ecce Homo) is manifest in these meetings, that no one can attend them without having whatever good impulses there sre within him strengthened, his faith iv the progress of the race strengthened also, and his hopes quickened in respect to the moral elevation of man, and ultimate restoration of the lost image, or marred image, of his Maker. After the meeting, we had an opportunity to visit the Colleges. Several new buildings have recently been erected for a scientific school, library, galleries of arts, &c. It is intended to make it a University, and in point of endowment it appears to me to be eclipsing Cambridge already. 1 met in the observatory, Mr. Lyman, adjusting a telescope. The last time I saw him, twenty years since, in Honolulu, he was adjusting a transit instrument for Mr. Ijoardinau. I also met a friend and classmate of yours. Dr. Allen, of Lowell, who made niauf inquiries about you. He is a member of the Association.' El-Governor Washburne, Professor of the Law School at Cambridge, and a friend of our Mr. Judge Allen, gave us a most excellent discourse on the relatione betweeu the Common and the Writ leu Law. If published, 1 will send you a copy, as I thought it suited to the meridian of Honolulu, where it might be very useful. On my return, 1 heard in Tremont Temple, Boston, Miss Annie Dickinson lecture, or, as the late President Lincoln remarked, heard the "pullet orow;" and as she repeatedly brought down the house, (of about 11,000,) it may be inferred that she crowed beautifully, an hour and a half, without cessation. By gaslight, she looks young and handsome, dressed in corn-colored silk; hair thick, short and ourlcd. Her voics has great volume and strength, ber elocution good. Her subject was political—radical to the core—fruitful of the most withering sarcasms upon the President and hi* party.

Yet, notwithstanding her cleverness, I could not overcome my repugnance to suoh unfeminine conduct, and [ expressed my aferaion to several of the gentlemen members, not one of whom could I find to coincide with me. I find the fooling in favor of female right of suffrage much more prevalent than I could have believed possible. I have not referred to the political news of the day, because I should be anticipated by the telegraph. The papers, however, can give you hut a faint ides, of the bitter hostility of the loyal North, and the loyal minority of the South, against the President and hia policy. Every day's delay of the South to accept the overtures of the last Congress, is adding immensely to the number of those who. North and South, are In favor of universal suffrage. The South oannot long prevent it. By accepting at once the amendments lo the constitution, proposed by the last Congresa, they may postpone it for awhile; otherwise it will be forced upon them, probably, within the next twelve months. Since the death of Judge Robertson, we chanced to examine a pyreon-hole in our Sanctum, labelled " Poetry" and we found a manuscript of which the following is a copy. The Horatian rule is to allow a poem to lie in manuscript nine years bifore publication, —this short poem has been kept more than twenty! It appears to have been written before he left St. Johns, New Brunswick. The sentiments expressed are not unfrequently cherished by the young in those regions, •' Where icy winter holds his sway Full half the year."

From one block of marble there is chiseled the form of a young man enveloped in a net. Despair and hope are mysteriously blended in the countenance of this figure. Thecaptive is in the act of struggling for escape. Every nerve is strained. He has grappled frantically with his toils, and one or two of the meshes have given way. But behind him, away from his line of vision, shtnds his guardian angel, acting now as his helper. His agency is unsuspected, but real; nnd every spectator, sym-" pathizing'with the captive of vice, exclaims unawares, " He will get free." How aptly does this symbol represent the poor inebrfhte who is si niggling to cet free from the meshes of intemperance. He is enveloped by the degrading vice of indulgence in strong drink, and other vices which usually accompany intemperance. He struggles to get free, but still finds himself fast bound. He tries again and again. He abstains from brandy, gin, and the stronger drinks, but a holds on to beer and wine. He finds himself continually breaking nil his good resolutions and pledges. His friends mourn over his frequent lapses into drunkenness. He arouses himself, and declares that he will not be a slave to the degrading vice. He resolves, and re-resolves to abandon his besetting sin; but still he finds the monster has firmly grasped him, and it is no easy matter to loosen his hold. He cannot break the meshes of the fatal net. At this critical moment his guardian angel— teetotalism—appears. The rule of total abstinence is prescribed. The victim of intemperance pleads for a little brandy, a little wine, a little porter, a little beer, but the good angel is inexorable, mildly saying, "touch not, taste not, even one drop." The struggle is sharp, the contest severe, and the cross heavy, but the angel will not yield the point. "Abstain or die," are the only words which are heard to escape her lips. Oh, how the poor inebriate pleads for only one drop! His friends even intercede for a gradual abandonment of his drinking habits, but the angel is as firm as she is mild. Oh, how eloquently the angel pleads with her look of sympathy and tenderness ! She comes near and bends over the poor victim as he lies in his bed of sorrow and degradation. In order to make her appeal more and more effectual, she leads the children of the poor drunkard into his presence. The wife, too, is seen to plead with the angel, in order that, if possible, her husband may be overcome, and rise up from the gutter and slough of intoxication. The KRIKNI), APRIL, I S6 7. poor and almost lost inebriate sees his children, his wife, and his good angel, all standing before him, while behind him, and around him, are seen all the evil spirits which visit the victim of " delirium tremens." At length the poor fellow resolves that he will repair to the temperance meeting, and sign the total abstinence pledge. The moment his trembling hand has affixed his " sign manual," a heavenly radiance is seen (0 lighten up the countenance of the guardian angel, while smiles of joyand gladness wreath the faces of the family group. The bystanders, too, look on with thanksgiving, and the inebriate is now seen to have entirely escaped from the meshes of that terrible net of intemperance which has so long hound him fust. If now he forsakes not the good angel's counsels and advice, all will be well. He will ever after walk forth a free man, which is more than any man can say of himself who is addicted to the habitual use of intox- icating liquors. A Friend or TH» Inebuiatk. Honolulu, March 4, 1867. John Vine Hall, or the Inebriate Restored. Last week I endeavored to point out to the members of the Temperance Legion that total abstinence, or teetotalism, was the inebriate's guardian angel. In the course of my rending, 1 have met with a most beautiful illustration of this principle. A volume, entitled " Hope for the Hopeless," has latelyfallen under -my notice. It is the autobiography or John Vine Hall, the father of the celebrated Rev. Newman Hall, Pastor of Surrey Chapel, London. The son is well known as one of the most eminent ministers of London, and during the late civil war iv America, he made himself a marked man, because he came out boldly and advocated the cause of the Union. That was at a time when the number of Union-loving speakers and writers in England could be reckoned on a man's fingers. It is not, however, with the younger Hall that I am now treating, but with his father, who died September 22d, 1860, in the 87th year of his age, one of the most remarkable instances of the good results of total abstinence which has ever been placed upon record. He was born at Diss, in Norlolk, England, March 14, 1774. His father was a wine merchant. His son undertook to carry forward the same business, but became addicted to habits of intemperance, which well nigh proved his ruin. He was naturally fond of pleasure. Being a good musician and singer, his company was much sought for by the pleasure-going people of the place where he lived. His business talents were of the first order, and commanded for him a firstrate salary, but, alas, he was given to drink. He mourned over his sad fate, and his friends grieved that he should give way to such ruinous excess. He becomes a married man, and the father of four children. A multitude of kind friends surround him. Amid all this array of bright prospects and hopeful signs, alas, there was one sad defect of character—young Hall would give way to strong drink. In those days the guardian angel—teetotalism—was not so distinctly recognized as the inebriate's friend as she is at present. The fact was, everybody drank rum, brandy, wine, beer, and all the ruinous liquors which have carried so many to a drunkard's grave. It was even thought to be impossible to reclaim the poor drunkard. Physicians even would recommend that a little was necessary. Divines, alas, were too much inclined to set bad and pernicious examples before the people. Young Hall's case was most sad and hopeless. There did not appear to be any possible chance of his reformation. In the midst of his melancholy career, his mind becomes interested in the concerns of religion, and he joins the church to which John Wesley has given his name. He becomes prominent among its members by his generous contributions and active labors. He was no doubt sincere in his professions, but, alas, supposing that he could drink moderately, in an evil hour he is overcome, and a dark cloud rests upon his character. His wife and Christian brethren try to raise him up. They forgive the snd full, and I find the following entry in his journal for July 6th, 1812: " Quarterly meeting. —The brethren were all glad to see me among them again, although so unworthy. How brotherly is this regard lor the welfare of each other's souls ! Ido nnt believe there is such another Society in the world ns the Methodists for the exercise of brotherly sympathy. O that I had not grieved them ! O whoi sorrow does sin introduce ! and when Satan gets his victims down, how cruelly he presses upon them ! But the blood of Christ can overcome a thousand Satntis." Onward, the poor fellow harries forward in his downward career, and downward he sinks still lower. His Christian friends are compelled to cut him off from their communion. Property goes and character is lost. But now comes his great change, and he resolves that never another drop of wine, brandy, gin or beer shall touch his lips as a beverage. His guardian angel—total abslinence—stands over him. Kind friends and a devoted wife once more come to his rescue, but no longer is it upon the principle of "taking a little;'" no, "touch not, tasle not," is forever afterwards to be his motto. True to this hetften-born principle, the poor man, aye, the happy man, rises up, redeemed, RESTORED, SAVED. Again he seeks the fellowship of Christian friends, and is welcomed. He now joins the Independents, and for more than forty years he lived an ornament of the Church of Christ. Wealth now accumulates. Social position becomes his envied lot. A wide sphere of benevolence and philnnthrophy opens before him. In all circles, high and low, he is the bold and fearless advocate of tolal abstinence. The amount of good accomplished by this eminent man cannot be fully estimated. He became known to the world as the author of the " Sinner's Friend," a tract, which has been published in all the European languages, and many languages spoken by the dwellers in other lands. It is printed in several of the languages of the " South Seas." When a copy was presented to the Queen of England, the Secretary of her Privy Purse was directed to reply as follows: " Siu:—l Palace, " Buckingham Jan. 16, 1866. ) \ am directed to express to yuu �II! i; rll KNil, \Pi: the Queen's and the Prince's thanks for the ADVERTISEMENTS. copies of your tract, which Her Majesty and His Royal Highness have most graciously JOHN THOS.

By the arrival on the L'SUh tilt., of the eclir. Sin Diego, from Uowland's Island, we Irani of the loss of the above named vessel, and are indebted to CapUin I'o|)bain. for tbe following particulars '■The British ship Kathay, of 1123 tons register, of the port oi Liverpool, sailed from Bombay. Oct. Ttb, 1846, for How-land's Island. Experienced strong winds and flue weather until reaching tbe Friendly Islands, from thence to the Equator, strong northerly gales and squalls, with calms for three or four days, which caused rather a long passage of 90 days. Arrived at Howland's Island. January 6, 1867. when wo had very unsettled weather for several days, having to slip once and pot to sea. On Sunday. January 20, 1867, while lying at the moorings, 6wung taut off from the reef with fresh trade winds, a black cloud in passing overhead caused the wind to shift -suddenly from the westward, (rot a spring on the buoy, which helped to keep the ship from striking very heavy as she swung round, but she started the stern-pool which caused her to leak a good deal. We then hung the ship to the buoy amidships, parallel with the island with her head to the S. S. VV„ but the heavy surf and wind werehenving ship and moorings right on the reef, beiqg then within 15 feet ot striking. As a last resource, we made sail, and in a few minutes slipped from the buoy, but the ship hud not gone half her length before she was hove broadside on the reef, where she instantly bilged and commenced filling fust, the ship laboring and lulling so heavily on the reef that it was impossible to stand on the decks. A few minutes afterwards, the main and mizen masts fell. A part of the crew got into a boat and put off Iron the ship. : Flnulng I could do no more on hoard, I left the sbip with the remainder of the crew, her topgallant-forecastle being* then un- der water. A few minutes afterwards she fell off the reef and sank In the short space of one hour from the time of the wind veering. It Is Impossible to save a ship at Howland's Island with such a sudden shirt of wind, and It's my Arm belief the ship went under the Island, as Uowland's Island. Is in my opinion, like a bunch of coral or an old oak tree with the top part joat above water. I don't believe you would get soundings with 1,000 fathoms line 200 feet from the reef. The Katkay waa a splendid clipper ship. I must five Mr. Westcrvelt, her builder, great praise in modeling her. She was built iv New York In 1853. We had taken on board about 400 tons of guano, and had a fair prospect of completing our cargo of 1600 tons In twenty live days. Myaelf. officers and crew lost everything of any value. Had theaccident happened by night, there would been loss of lives also. But, thank Ood. wa all got aafe on shore, where we remained until February IS, 1887. having been made as comfortable as things would allow, being short of everything on the island. Captain Chlsholtn, superintendent of the inland, deserves the highest praise In working everything for the beat. He also lent us every assistance in trying to keep the ship v off the reef. -We have had a long and tedious paasage to Honolulu,petting short of everything. On Sunday last we touched at Cook'a anchorage at Niihau, where Capt. Tengatrom received grtat kindness from Mr. Sinclair and his two nephews. They supplied ns with three sheep and several bags of potatoes and brought them off after dark to tbe schooner, which kindness I •hall never forget, as there was a heavy aurf on at the time. Capt Tengstrom haa been very klud to ns In this long tedious *->aasage. The orew of the A'afaoy is twenly-flve men all told. Wat. Port-ill. Late Master of Britlah ship Katkay.

Among the crew, there was a sailor, a native of Massachusetts, who frequently visited our office, and from whom we learned that he was the writer of the following letter, published by the American Tract Society of Boston.

United Status Smr Ohio, May 4th, 1859. ) i Deaii Sir:—l am very much obliged to you for the kindness you have manifested towards me ; and, according to your request, 1 will give you some incidents of my life, hoping they will interest you. I feel that this statement is due to you, lor it was through your efforts that prayer-meetings were first established on board our ship, which were the means of bringing me to a knowledge of the truth ns it is in Jesus. 1 was born in Bolton, Mass. My father died when 1 was young, leaving my mother with four children. We were brought up in the family of my grandfather, a deacon of the Baptist Church, and a man of eminent piety. When I was fourteen years of age, my mother married again, and removed to Lowell ; and hero commenced my career of wickedness. I became addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors, n:id was a leader in all kinds of debauchery. Many a time, when I came home drunk, did my mother plead with me, with tears streaming down her cheeks, to abstain from the intoxicating poi- son. Oh! how many heart-rending,earnest prayers, hns she offered at the throne of grape for me. She never upbraided me, but strove to reclaim me by gentleness and kindness. Much against the advice of my friends, I went, with some others, to Salem, and engaged to go ■ whaling voyage oi three years , bound for the Indian in the bark M Ocean. Here I gave myself up, unchecked by home influences, to all the desires of my Corrupt heart. I drank the cup of sin to the dregs. The story of my wickedness would . fill volumes. In December last, I arrived in Boston in the ship S The captain wished me to go another voyage with him, and 1 agreed to do so. but spent the most of my time in low haunts in North Street and vicinity, until the day before the ship was to sail. I was perfectly satisfied with my ship, and had good wages; yet, doubtless led by the hand of God, I left it, and shipped in the United States navy, on board the O/iio. Soon after I came on board, it was noised about decks that some of the men were going to hold a praytr-tneetitig on the orlop deck, which caused much sport, and many remarks were made about it. However, the meetings were commenced, but for several nights 1 did not I N 0 , MAY, 1867. go down. At last I was persuaded to go, and saw what I never saw before.—sailors on their knees, beseeching the throne of grace for merry upon themselves and those around then. And 1 felt what I had never realized until now, that 1 was living in a state of condemnation, and without Cod in the world. 1 remembered all the sins I had committed against God and our Saviour.and how many times ho had preserved me when death stared me in the face. 1 remembered the teachings of my parents, and felt that 1 had sinned agninst the clearest light. Oh, what would 1 not have given to recall my past life! I went away, determined to attend the prayermeetings in future, and to mend my past life. I tried to break oir all my bad habits, and attended the meetings regularly; but it would not answer. I could get no peace; I felt condemned. 1 lay in my hammock all night, and prayed for hours, but I felt no relief. At last, 1 got held of a book called "The Anxious Inquirer," and read it as I never bad before. Il teemed to suit my eaae exactly, and 1 strove to comply with the directions which it contained. I was greatly struck with the text of Scripture, "He that is ashamed of One, of him will I be ashamed before my Father which is in heaven." This condemned me, lor I was ashamed to own Christ as the Saviour of my soul. I went down to meeting the next night with the determination to come out on tinLord's tide, and tell them all that I had determined to seek the Lord. But what a struggle I had with my proud heart! 1 thought I could nut speak before the crowd that was down there. But 1 got up; the tears streamed down my lace what I saul I do not know; 1 cannot recollect a word. Then 1 fell upon my knees, and poured out my bean to God. Oh! the joy that afterwards came into my heart. Then I could feel uliat the love of Cod was,and that Christ was precious to my soul. 1 felt at peace with all the world. After tint, I had no more trouble in getting Up, and telling what Christ had done for me, He " ran away from home," and thus obtained unrestricted opportunity to gratify his rile propensities (o the uttermost. It shows also the way of return from sin to Cod. First, he was led to " look at himself as he was." Sinners will never come to Christ for salvation till they see theirruin. He resolved to "break off his sins." It will avail nothing for men to be distressed at their wickedness, and feel the utter wretchedness of their condition, if they do not abandon it. The prodigal not only felt his hunger, but ■aid, " I will arise and go unto my Father." He sought "instruction." Though he had no Christian friend to guide him, he found direction in that excellent book, which has pointed hundreds to trie Saviour. Many are too proud to acknowledge their distress, or ask what they must do to be saved. When he learned what to do, " he did it." That guide pointed him to Jesus—the sinner's only hope—and bade him throw himself on his mercy alone. No efTorts at selfreformation, no cries, nor tears, nor anything which lie could do of himself were sufficient. He must gire himself to Christ, ask him for salvation, trust in him for it, and begin a life of obedience to him. He "acknowledged" Christ before his shipmates. God kindles the flame of his grace in the heart, not to be hid there, hut to shine out, and guide other poor darkened souls to the truth. Christ heard the prayers of this returning prodigal, anil gave biin peace. He will save all that will come to him. Dear reader, will you come t ; KindeR s ewarded.

But there came t letter one day, with the English post-mark, making inquiries for a curtain young American doctor who had greatly befriended an English gentleman during a long and dangerous attack of sickness in New Orleans a numher of years ago. This grateful gentleman had died and left our poor young man a very large estate. Ten years ago and less, there lived in the city of New York a clergyman whose name and memory are sacred to thousands of grateful, loving, revering hearts. He has not been dead long; he will never die out of the holy affections of the people before whom he came in and went out so many years. Among his people there was one man, and he was of large wealth, who seemed to make it his special business, as it*was his highest happiness to see that this reverend pastor wanted nothing.

Here a Protestant house of worship is to be erected, in which there is to be a. daily prayermeeting rrnd preaching in various languages, so that the people ol all climes may bear in their own tongues the wonderful works of Cod. There is also to be a building for the distribution of liibles and religious books ami tracts, in all languages, where also the various Christian missionary societies will display the results of their success in civilizing and Christianizing the barbarous nations and tribes of heathendom. As American Christians have been earnest in their elforts'to evangelise the world, it is proper that some of the results of their labors should appear in this most interesting department of this World's Fair. The American Board of Missions, the American Bible Society, the American Tract Society, and possibly other missionary societies in this country, have made shipments to the Exposition, as illustrations of what they are doing in the great work of giving the Gospel to the nations of the earth. There will thus be not only a fuller and more intelligent revelation of the world-wide and world-embracing efforts of Christian seal and activity, but a direct anil constant endeavor to bring the power of divine truth to bear upon the millions who are expected to assemble to witness this grand display of the results of human industry and art.

London : Smith, Elder A Co. 1866. We are very glad to get hold of a book which speaks with some degree of authority respecting the late war in New Zealand. As the Maories, or aborigines of New Zealand, belong to the great and widely scattered Polynesian family, we feel a deep interest in whatever relates to their condition, welfare and destiny. Occasional notices that a war was raging in New Zealand between the aborigines and the British forces, is all that the public has known upon the subject. This book opens up the subject. We learn from a gentleman recently from that part of the world, and who has long resided in the country, that it can be relied upon for accuracy of statement and general impression. That our readers may be able to obtain a somewhat tolerably correct idea of the state of affairs in New Zealand, we commence by giving the population of the islands. Population. —ln 1842, the best estimates gave the native or Maori population at 114,-000. In 1850, a Wesleyan missionary estimated the population at 70,000. In 1858, the Government returns put the population at 55,970. Mr. Fox expresses the opinion that the Maories now do not number over 45,000, and still upon the rapid decrease. "A people," he remarks, "that -has no children, must die out." The European population in 1864 was estimated at 171,931, and the increase was very rapid, so much so, that in 1866, Mr. Fox estimates that it reached to 200,000. From this book and other sources, we learn that the Colony is rapidly increasing in population and material wealth. From 1857 to 1866, the gold mines alone of New Zealand yielded, according to Governments reports, £11,207,179, or well nigh 860,000,000. The War.—The late war appears to have been a most expensive affair, but terminating in no definite results. It has been carried on at a cost of over £3,000,000, or 9 15,000,000. At most, only about 10,000 regular troops have been in the service, and on the part of the Maories, the estimate is 5,000 and upwards. Pitched battles have been but few. The main warfare has been skirmishing and attacks upon fortified places, or pahs, as they are styled by the natives. The Governor of the' Colony, Sir George Orey, and General Cameron, appear to have been upon anything but good terms. What one ordered the other would countermand. They were about as good friends as Prcsi dent Johnson and the Republican Congress. After fighting for two or three years, Mr. Fox thus sums up the military results of the war: That the men were personally brave, and their officers brave, and the reverse the rare exception, is readily admitted. But it cannot be concealed that the campaign, as a whole, added little to the laurels of the British army. Except Walcheren, New Orleans, and some passages of the American war of Independence, I can recollect no military operations of which, as a whole, we have less reason to be proud." • Mr. Fox admits most frankly that, in a military point of view, the whole war has been a stupendous failure, with no definite results. " Let it be admitted that we have yet to learn the art of fighting savages. God grant that it may be the last occasion on which the British army may have to do it." This volume contains some interesting statements respecting the strange fanaticism, called the " Pai Marire," which has arisen among the natives of New Zealand, and resulted in the murder of the Rev. Mr. Volkner and other atrocities. One of the great and prevailing evils which has long existed amoog the Maories of New Zealand, has been the fact that they had no central government. They have had an abundance of chiefs, but really no king-chief, such as has existed on our group of islands. This fact has operated to retard missionary operations, as well as resulted in perpetual difficulties between the Maories and the British Government and colonists. What may be in store for the dwellers upon our fair islands—aborigines and foreigners— is known only to the great Killer of nations ; but one thing is more and more apparent to the careful observer, that the American missionaries were wise in sustaining, by all the weight of their influence and authority, the native government, when it has been threatened by foreign powers. There have been crises in the history of the Hawaiian Kingdom when it seemed that foreign influences would overtop and crush the Kainehaiueha dynasty and the Government. Such influences have subvened the native rule in other parts of Polynesia, but hitherto that fate has been averted from this Kingdom, and we hope a long period may elapse ere such a result shall be experienced on-Hawaiian shores. " Kanaka Divers versus Gutta-percha Armor-clad Divers. It actually resulted in the paralysis of his body, from which he has never entirely recovered. Mr. L. has followed this business for years, and experiences no injury, seldom descending lower than seventy or eighty feet. He remains for hours under water, and once walked, off Point Judith, about five miles upon the bottom of the ocean. Ordinarily he can see twenty or thirty feet without difficulty, and frequently meets with fish and other inhabitants of those watery regions. Mr. L. expressed some surprise when informed that Sandwich Islanders would descend much lower than any depth yet reached by American divers, however completely they might lie protected by their armor. The following facts may be relied upon. In the month of August, 1813, H. B. M.'s ship Dublin, Admiral Thomas, lost a heavy anchor weighing seven thousand eight hundred pounds, in over thirty fathoms of water. Under the direction of His Excellency Covernor Kekuanaoa, natives were employed to dive for the purpose of attaching a hawser. Several divers tested their abilities, when one was found, who descended once twenty-nine fathoms, and again thirty-two fathoms, (192 feet,)and remained sufficiently longto adjusta rope to the anchor's fluke. When he came up blood issued from his ears and nose. No serious results followed. The kanaka is still living in the employ of His Excellency. Admiral Thomas gave him $200 for performing a feat which probably no American or European could accomplish. This fact is probably owing to the custi m of Hawaiians living so much in the water. An Hawaiian woman once swam about twenty-live miles, having been thirty-six hours in the water, and during most of that lime carried her husband upon her back. This remarkable instance occurred about lliirty years ago, when a native schooner foundered at sea in the channel off Hawaii. The woman finally reached Kahoolawe, and subsequently lived for several years.

"Pictorial Sanctum."—Having occasion to visit the editorial sanctum of our neighbor of tho Advertiser, we found it " swept and garnished." Kvery book, pamphlet and exchange newspaper was in its place. The room was decorated with the most expensive engravings (for sale, ol course.) For an editor's room to be found in such complete order appeared vory surprising. We really think the last nuuiber of his paper was more •' newsy and better edited than common. We advise all editors to clean up their sanctums, and it may improve their papers. In a recent interview with Mr. J. P. Lougee, the American diver, (who accompanied the Caroline Mills on her expedition to rescue the treasure of the Libelle on Wake's Island,) we learned some facts relating to the subject of submarine explorations, which may " be interesting to our readers. Mr. Lougee informs us that no American diver, clad in armor, has ever descended deeper than one hundred and forty-two feet.

The Captain decided at once to proceed to Honolulu for assistance. Taking a favorite large whaleboat, named the Ann E. Wilson, he put on her what the sailors call a "sister gunwale" und u wash-board," and declared his intention to "start for Honolulu. As an instance of Yankee enterprise nnd determination of character, under difficult circumstances, it is well to mention that the only tools the Captain and his men had to operate with in making their boat seaworthy for the long and perilous voyage of nearly five hundred miles to this port, was n saw, a hummer and a chisel. The nails with which to fasten their work they had to draw from the fastenings of the other boats. On Tuesday, the- 10th, the tKiat being ready, the Captain, second officer und six men embarked at 3 p. «., with a necessarily limited stock of water and bread, bound for Hodolulu, leaving twenty-seven of their shipmntes on the sand bank, doubtless with a feeling of uncertainty, both on the part of those who went and those who remained, as to whether they should ever see one another again. One party left on an unfteipiented barren sand beach in mid-ocean, and the other, with scanty provisions, undertaking, in an open boat, a sea voyage ofhundreds of miles. For the first lour days after leaving the shoal the Ann E. Wilson encountered strong winds from the north nnd north-northeast, but made very good headway in the desired direction, sometimes pulling and sometimes sailing when the wind gave a slant. For prudential reusous nil hands in the boat were put on an allowance id' one pint of water nnd one biscuit n day. Thus they struggled on, until Sunday morning, April 23d, when they made the Island of Niihiui. Landing there, they were most hospitably nnd kindly received by the proprietors of the Island, Captain Sinclair and family, of whom Captain Richmond speaks in the highest terms. Leaving Niihaii at 0 o'clock on Monday morning, they continued their course for Honolulu without touching at Kauai. During that night they spoke the Montie.cllo, Capt. Phillips, who gave them the course to steer, their compass having 37 schooner Kamehameha IV., which was on a wrecking cruise in that neighborhood.

Howes, of the brig Lubra, touched at Honolulu on his voyage to China, and we had the privilege of forming his acquaintance at our office in the Sailors' Home. The vessel did not enter the inner harbor of Honolulu. A brief account of the sad affair, described in the following letter, has already been published, but as this is given by Capt. Howes' wife, it merits publication. THE CHINESE PIRATES. aBAErcxiMoCg-astfpunhnmWife. freCaptin's The Yarmouth Register publishes a letter from Mrs. Lucy J. Howes, wife of Capt. Benjamin P. Howes, who fell a victim to Chinese pirates, giving an affecting history of that tragical event, which occurred September 23, 1566: We had supper on deck that night about six o'clock, and had just finished our tea and were walking the deck, when our attention was called to a small Chinese junk coining directly towards us. She was soon within speaking distance, and it was almost calm. The junk could sail when we couldn't make any progress. The captain of the junk hailed us, wishing to know where we were bound, and if we wanted a pilot. By this time we began to mistrust his character, and as they ranged alongside, Benjamin (Capt. Howes) told them to keep off or he would blow them out of water, all to no purpose. Benjamin and the mate found their pistols unloaded and useless, and just as they got on deck again, the pirates were boarding us and throwing their stink-pots. Benjamin told me to go below, and I did as directed. Carrie was lying down on deck. I called for her, and Benjamin rushed up just in time to save her, for as he came below the shots were flying about his head. The pirates, to the number of ten, I should think, now rushed into the cabin upon us, und demanded gold and opium. We were terribly frightened. Benjamin told the mate it was of no use to fight, for they would overcome us and kill all hands. The pirates said, if we would not fight they would not hurt us. Benjamin told them there was no gold or opium on board, and 1 told them the same, and they seemed to pay more attention to me than to him, on account of my being so frightened, I suppose. The pirates now became very much excited, searching every hole and corner in the cabin. My trunks were turned inside out, and my room the same, and even the bed was torn nil to pieces. They then threatened us with death if gold and opium were found on board the brig. They said—" You speake lie, we kill you all three." My nurse went forward with the babe in the outset. After a while the pirates all left the cabin and went forward and between decks, to search among the cargo. We had a Chinese cook and steward, and it seems they, talked with them, for after a while they came below again, quite excited, demanding the gold, Sec., saying: " You got coolie man; coolie man say you got gold, you got opium—we want." They repeated this demand two or three times. At this time six or seven coolies and the head man, or captain of the gang, came below. Two stood by me, one with a drawn sword in his hand, and the other had his in the sheath. The rest of the gang seized Benjamin and tried to force him on deck, threatening all the time to take his life. They did not seem to want to kill him below. They struck him twice with the flat of their swords ; still he resisted and denied the existence of any gold in the brig. I again told them the same thing. They now looked first at me and then at him, then at each other. I was dreadfully frightened. The man who stood by me with his sword sheathed attempted to draw it and started toward Benjamin. I started and laid my hand on it to stop him, but he turned upon me very fiercely, without speaking, and drew his sword. I now thought it my best plan to keep quiet, but 1 believe my interference saved his life for the time being, but oh my God ! what a fearful night! We were guarded all the time by a man with a drawn sword at the cabin door, so there was no chance of escape, If I could have got out I would have jumped overboard rather than run the risk of being cut to pieces, as we expected to be. The pirates helped themselves to anything they wanted in the cabin, such as what money they could find, together with articles of jewelry, wines, &c. We now were left unmolested for a couple of hours, I should think. We both sat on the sofa with little Carrie between us, she asleep a part of the time. I asked Benjamin if he thought we should have to go through the same scene again. He answered that he could give me no hope to the contrary. He did not seem to think they would kill me and the children, at least, but we made up our minds to meet our fate and all go together. We both hoped to be shot, as that seemed to be the most merciful way of being killed. I could now see the pirates firing aloft, and heard them calling to the men to come down, and could distinguish the second mate's voice. We heard them at work stowing their boats, but most of the pirates had now left. After a while all was still, the tiring censed, but I could see a few of the pirates about the decks. At this time the man who guarded the cabin door pointed a musket right at my head. I dropped it on,to Benjamin's shoulder, exclaiming, " They are going to shoot us after all." (We had begun to have a slight hope of escape.) The cabin door swung open now, and Benjamin said, " It is our fate, Lucy, and we must meet it." A few seconds after this one of the bead men came into the cabin and spoke to us. He said they were going away then, and seemed very solemn. I sat up and spoke to him, too, begging him to spare our lives, but he paid no attention to me, but went again on deck. Immediately thereafter thefe was a shot. It was so near my head I thought I was hurt. Carrie was crying, but I heard nothing from Benjamin. 1 had almost fallen, but this fact recalled me. I looked at Benjamin and found he was dead. He never groaned or moved a muscle. I took his pulse to see if any life remained, and just then one of the pirates came down. I dropped on Benjamin's shoulder and let the blood flow over me, at the same time holding down Carrie, for I fancied he had come to dispatch us. I lifted my head and told him to shoot me. He lighted a small piece of candle and sat it within a few inches of my head on the table, (I believe he thought me wounded,) and then went on deck. The thought now flashed across my mind that Carrie was alive, and for her sake I ought to live, so I blew out the candle and dropped down on Benjamin's bosom, holding Carrie and hushing her under my breath all the while. I saw no more of them, but before leaving one of the pirates threw a block of wood weighing six pounds in at the window, which struck Carrie on the head and hit me on the side. Carrie's head was badly swollen and discolored, and my side considerably bruised. Jt is a wonder the child was not killed. 1 fancy he meant to kill me, and I kept so still I fancy they thought me dead. After this I heard no more of them. All was now quiet for a few minutes,only Carrie still crying. Directly I saw some one creeping cautiously around aft, and soon recognized the second mate. I took Carrie and went on deck, meeting him at the door. I told him the captain was killed, and asked him who was alive. He answered, " Mr. Hall, the mate, is dead, but there are two men besides myself alive." My nurse, I learned, jumped overboard, but first laid the babe down by the capstan on (he topgallant forecastle. The nurse, I suppose, was killed or drowned. Mrs. Howes then goes on to describe a narrow escape from being blown up, and as there was powder in the hold of the Lubra, the pirates bud laid and ignited trains with the view to the destruction of the ship by fire. The following evening the ship Lawrence came along-, nnd took those left alive and the bodies of the killed to Hongkong. Captain Howes was buried on the 25th of September—his funeral being the largest ever known at Hongkong. Mrs. Howes was very kindly treated by the people, and was waiting to aid in identifying the pirates, of whom the people were in search. Provincetown Whaling.—The Yarmouth Register says that the whole number of vessels in the whaling business from Frovincetown the present year is 43, carrying 750 men and boys. Of these 24 have arrived, bringing in about 2300 barrels of sperm oil and 3200 barrels of blackfish oil, being 700 barrels less in amount of sperm, and about 100 barrels more of blackfish than last year. The higher price, however, at which the sperm sold this year compensates, to a considerable extent, for the decrease in quantity, but one or two more vessels are expected to return the present season. On the whole, the business has been prosperous. The greatest voyage made was that ol schooner Mary (i. Curren, Win. Curren master. This schooner was new, and sailed at a cost of $24,500, and after an absence of fifteen months, sent and brought home 800 barrels of oil, which sold for $45,000, leaving for the owners a net profit ofabout $21,-000. Several new vessels in process of building, are to be added in the coming season to the fleet.—Repub. Standard, N. B. October, 1866. Now, Christ has instructed many by the way, and been ready to enter into their hearts and dwellings; but for want of an invitation to tarry, he has gone by. �39 IHE X Ul K.N H, MA V, 18 67.

One Sabbath Out of Harness. The Rev. Dr. Guthrie of Edinburgh, has recently published a volume entitled " Out of Harness." In consequence of some repairs at the Bethel, the Chaplain, for a single Sabbath, may be said to be'"Out of Harness." Although thus temporarily relieved, we endeavored to improve the Holy Sabbath to a good purpose. At 11 a. m. we attended Kaumakapili church, where stood the Pastor, the Rev. L. Smith, who has for more than thirty years preached to a large congregation of Hawaiians, But few pastors have toiled and preached more successfully. Rarely during that long period has the bell of his church failed to ring at daylight each day of the week to summon the people to a Morning Prayer meeting. As we entered he gave out the text, •' For the son of man shall come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then he shall reward every man according to his works."—Matthew 16:27. He preached extemporaneously, as do all the American Missionaries when preaching in Hawaiian. The singing was good and the choir was assisted by a new organ, recently imported from Boston. Having observed the labors of the Pastor of this Church for so many years, we can bear our most honorable JUNE 1, ISC7. 41 {(DlbStws, Hal. 24. testimony to his fidelity, faithfulness and doctrines of the gospel.

Our astronomer's chief business, however, is that of teacher in the Batticotta High School, entirely independent of the mission, with eight teachers and 140 pupils;, whose principal teacher is Robert Breckenridge, twelve years ago one of the teachers in the Batticotta Seminary. Our second call is at the dwelling of Wm. Nevins, once a teacher in the Seminary as above, now principal teacher in n large English school in the Wesleyun Mission, in the town of Jaffna. All looks neat and comfortable about the house ; but as we are informed the owner is absent, we pass on. In the next house, we sit a few moments upon the floor of the low verandah, and speak with a woman, in middle life, who wishes to be received to the privileges of the church. She is the sister of Onesimus, whom the lute excellent Mr. Poor redeemed from slavery some forty years since, and gave him this Bible name, and who proved his faithfulness and love by standing by the dying conch of his teacher, lying low in the grasp of the dread disease, cholera. That dying scene, that faithful native, and those tones of triumph, "Joy! joy! hallelujah," from those lips, soon after scaled for the resurrection morn, are ve*ry fresh in my memory, though eleven years have patted since Mr. Poor's death. The verse, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints," had a new and vivid meaning to me at that time. When Onesimus dietl, a few years since, this sister was a heathen, but his dying charge to her to lie a christian, seems to have influenced her much. From the house of Thomas Scott, two chairs were brought out for us, and we sut, as it were, in the tent door, at the cool of the day. This man is secular agent in the mission, and 1 have not forgotten how rejoiced I wits on my first arrival in Ceylon, nearly eighteen years ago, to deliver into his hands two boxes specie, for mission expense, which had been entrusted to my care at Madras. My travelling companions (Messrs. Mills and Noyes) were also glad, for I had disturbed their sleep by crying out in my dreams, " thieves, thieves," so anxious was I to keep the cash from the thieving Hindus, of whom in my inexperience, I had greater fear than I should have now. Thomas Scolt, who was then a young man, is now getting grey, and is the fnther of nine children. The house looks very clean and comfortable. At the call of her Missionary, Catharine, a graduate of the Oodooville Female Boarding School, comes out, and is congratulated upon her attendance at church. Not all of our young christian females, while unmarried, are possessed of moral courage enough to cause them to attend public worship—such a public appearance being opposed to current Hindu ideas of propriety. Catharine, however, is not likely to be thus troubled long, for, on the Sabbath following, she was published to Daniel, a young medical student with Dr. Green. An educated sister, Mary Dickinson, or Chellamuttu (meaning precious pearl) was married in 1863, to Cyrus T. Mills, who is now a practicing native physician, at Manipay.

Trubner's American and Oriental Recoup. There is no periodical laid monthly upon Our Table, which we read over with more interest. It contains a list of new works published, or in course of publication, in America, North and South, in India, Egypt, China, Japan, and mnny other countries. We have just received the number for January, 1867. From this number it nppears that Cairo in Egypl is the great publishing centre of books Poems, Sermons, in the Arabic language. School-books, Commentaries on the Koran, Sec., arc continually issuing from the press. The list of Japanese books is full of interest. A new Japanese Sensation Drama, in ten volumes, illustrated, is to be found in the list. A work describing Yeddo and Miaco, appears in twenty volumes. A work of Auguries in seven volumes, Discussion on Mental Philosophy in ten volumes. A hundred Poems by one hundred Poets, in nine volumces, illustrated. We lately noticed the fact stated in an Oriental publication, that recently a Japanese ordered one dozen copies of Webster's Unabridged Illustrated Dictionary, from a book-seller in Yokohama. A new monthly publication has been started at Hongkong, entitled on China and Japan." Queries " Notes and The Protestant Churchman. —This is a new weekly, eight-pages, religious newspaper, published in New York, and edited by a number of Clergymen of the American Protestant Episcopal Church, who are strictly evangelical and anti-ritualistic in their opinions. We have received two numbers, and find they contain articles headed " Hawaii and the Gospel." From their tenor, we infer ihcy were written by the Rev. F. S. Rising, who visited the islands during the year 1866, and so thoroughly acquainted himself with their social, civil and religious condition. The writer remarks, "No modern triumph ol Christianity has been more satisfactory, encouraging or remarkable, than the labors of American Christians in the Hawaiian Islands." We shall look with interest for additional numbers as ihey may make their appearance. A Plea for the Pacific Theological Seminary.—This is the heading or title of preached by the Rev. Dr. Stone of rst congregational church of Sail Francisco, advocating the establishment of " a school of the prophets," in California. We hope his efforts and those of his associates may result in the founding and endowment ■non of a Seminary, vicing in usefulness with those of Andover, Princeton, Auburn and those of the Eastern States. Catalogue or Chicago Theological Seminary.—We are glad to receive a catalogue of this promising and rising institution. It has already been endowed with funds and officered with an able corps of Professors. Forty-six young men, are now enjoying its advantages preparatory to the Christian Ministry. This seminary, is designed to educate young men, as Pastors for the Congregational Churches of the great valley. Missionary Herald.—This ancient and venerable Missionary periodical, now having entered upon its v"3d year, has been vastly improved in its interna] and external appearance. It has something more than renewed its youth ! Hereafter, each number will be accompanied with some map, cut or portrait, illustrative of the foreign missionary enterprise. The officers of the American Board have at their command at thier rooms, on Pemberton Square, a richer store of missionary intelligence and literature, than is to be found in any other place in America, and they ought to publish a Monthly Periodical, containing the very " cream of missionary intelligence." The April number contains, the likeness of the Rev. D. C. Scudder, who was drowned, in India, November 19, 1562, only one year after entering upon his missionary life. A memoir has been published by " Hurd and Houghton " of New York, and a copy has made its appcaaance at the islands. We hope soon to notice it in our columns. Final Retort of Gen. J. F. I>. Marshall, as Paymaster General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, has been received. As General Jackson wrote '• (). Iv." —" Oil Korrect " on a document, so we have no doubt "G. K." might bo written upon this report of Gen. Marshall. Annales dc la Propagation he la Foi, for January, 1567.—We are always glad to receive numbers of this publication. For this number we are indebted to the kindness of Bishop Maigret. From the May number for 1866, we learn that the Parent Society at Lyons, in France, devotes as follows for the various Catholic Missions in Polynesia : HalWMsast, »■■.•• New Zvuliuitl, Aucklnnd, " " -- Wellington, New Caledonia, Central Occimicn, Tiihiti and Puwotetl, Fiji, - .

Catalogue of Seminary.—We Andover Theological are glad to receive the annual catalogue of this venerable institution. From it, we learn that Mr. James Daly, well-known in Honolulu, is a member of the Senior Class. One hundred and two students are now members of this Seminary, gathered from among the graduates of 19 colleges, in various parts of the country. Only one Professor remains, (bat lectured at Andover in our student days. We refer to the Rev. Prof. Parke, whose ability as a lecturer is unsurpassed by any in the'United States. We learn from this c.itnlosrue, that the Rev. Dr. Anderson will deliver annually a course of Lectures on Foreign Missions, before the students of this institution. Every Saturday.—We are. more and more pleased with this Hebdomadal. The selections are generally good and choice. It is published by Ticknor & Fields, of Boston, who publish also the "North American Review," "Atlantic Monthly," and " Our Young Folks." French WITHOUT a Master—in six easy lessons—by A. H. Monleitb, Esq. He also has written several oilier pamphlets, professing to instruct any one to learn, German, Spanish, Italian and Latin, in six lessons, without a teacher. They are published by Peterson & Brothers, of Philadelphia. This method ol learning a foreign language is styled the Robertsonian. It may succeed in other parts of the world,but wiil not certainly in any part of the world which it has Been our privilege to visit. The idea of u new beginner learning a foreign language in six lessons, is perfectly absurd. Edward Everett, is reported to have learned Spanish in six weeks, nnd Dr. Spring of New York, the French in one month, but that Mr. Monteilh can teach •ny foreign language in six lessons, is what we do not believe. The only conceivable method by which a youth could learn a foreign language, in six lessons, would be, by means of a galvanic apparatus. Suppose the types made of zinc, and then the wires convey the language, hy a powerful "shock" to the brain. In some Mich method, Sydney Smith supposed a dull and stupid fellow might be made to appreciate a joke! The witty parson even thought it would lie necessary to trepan a Scotchman, in order to make him appreciate an Englishman's humor! Perhaps, if Mr. Monteilh should jiersue this method, with a boy, he might learn French in six lessons, but not otherwise ! N Riverside Magazine.—This is one of the most fully illustrated and costly printed Magazines for the young, which has ever been issued from the American press. It is published by Hurd & Houghton, of New York. We notice that Jacob Abbott is ohe of the contributors. This number contain.-, an interesting journal of the Key.

The inventor of this rig, Mr. Chnrles Peterson, of San Francisco, 'Cal., a practical seaman and sailmaker, has been engaged for the Inst seven years in bringing his plan to perfection ; and having tested it fully four months on board the brig Industry, in the Pacific coasting trade, he claims for his invention the following merits: That by its means all the sails of a full-rigged ship, including the jibs and staysails, can be furled from the deck in ten minutes, with the employment of one-quarter less men than are required with the rig now in use, and at the same time dispensing with four ropes to each sail. The ropes he employs occupy the same positions on the deck and are called by the same names as the old ones, so that no difficulty will be found in teaching the sailors their use, and the new rig can be applied to the sails of any old-rigged vessel. The sails are rolled up from the bottom, and 'Can be made secure in a gale of wind without a man leaving the deck. The expense of rigging a vessel is considerably lessened, and the wear and tear of sails and rigging reduced. The model works well, and the plan seems to be well worthy the attention of shipmasters and owneis.—N. Y. Times.

The family of Tichborne is one of the oldest families in our northern country. Its estates lie in the County of Hants. These lands have been in the possession of this ancient family ever since the ISorman Con- Australia. Nothing was heard from him after this time. So at the father's death the younger brother was declared heir of the Tichborne estates. But now comes the story of the elder brother's escape and adventures. It was true that the ship in which Koger Charles sailed was lost, with nearly all on board. But he and four others saved themselves. They scrambled into a boat and lived among the icebergs of the Cape for four days and nights. They were discovered by a passing vessel, picked up, and landed at Valparaiso, in South America. All that the heir of the Tichborne family owned at this time consisted of a suit of clothes and a borrowed hat. A Spaniard took pity on him and aided him to make a comfortable living. After gaining a knowledge of the people among whom be bad been thrown, be traveled in the other South American states. When he was at Callao, he became acquainted with a sea-captain in the Australian trade, and offered to go with him as a ship's steward. He was accepted, and in due time he landed in Melbourne, Australia. Out of gratitude to the Spaniard of Valparaiso, he took bis name, and was everywhere known us Thomas tie Castro. Alter leaving the ship, he went into the interior, and got work as a shepherd. He was faithful to his employers, and soon made hosts of friends. About this time he learned, through the English papers, thai his father Sir James, was dead, anil that his title and estates had been assumed by his younger brother. As he was very much attached to this brother and was fond of his new mode of life, he thought be would make no claim, but let A Ifred enjoy the estates for a few years. Indeed, as be enjoyed good health in Australla, be made up his mind to settle in the country, and let the people at home continue to imagine that he was dead. Year rolled by. The eccentric nobleman prospered in business, and finally became the proprietor of a butchering establishment in Walla Walla, near Sydney, New South Wales. He was esteemed by every one as an excellent butcher, and an honest man into the bargain. He married the daughter of a plasterer, but never told her a word of his previous history, until a few months ago. Mrs. Dc Castro, as she supposed herself to be, presented her hrtsband with a daughter. He heard at the same time of the death of his brother and the news that the estate was to be sold. He then told his wife that she was ■ titled English lady, and sailed for Great Britain at once. He was recognized by his mother and the tenantry ; but the Jews will try to prove thai he is somebody else. The case is in the hands of the lawyers. Uncle J.'.jils.

For you ought jo know the history of England tlmoet as well as the history of the United States. Up to the year 162(1 the chiefs of this family were knights—not noblemen, but of the rank between peers and commoners. At the death of Queen Elizabeth, Sir John dc Tichborne, the representative of the bouse, on his own responsibility, proclaimed James the Sixth of Scotland the lawful king of England, under the title of James the First. This bold act greatly pleased King James; and as soon as he sat on the English throne he created Sir John a baronet and knighted his four sons. This title descended from generation to generation. The last of the Tichbornes who bore it was Sir Alfred Doughty, of that name. He died a few years ago. He wits a wild and reckless prodigal. His net income—that is, his spending-money, after paying all expenses—was £75,000 a year. You can't imagine what a great sum of money this is. It is quite equal to half a million dollars in currency. Yet, large as it was, he spent it all, and got into debt. His extravagance was amazing. One of the first things that he did, for instance, was to order five hundred of the best breech-loading rifles, for his own private use. He could not use more than one or two; hut the fool and his money are soon parted, you know ; and this was one of the ways in which he squandered his means. Then he bought a yacht, which cost h.iui $70,000. The Jews loaned him all the money he wanted, at a heavy rate of interest, as they thought that there was no heir to the estate, and they knew that it would sell for more than they loaned him. You may have heard of the law of primogeniture and entail in England. By that law, no matter how many debts a nobleman may have, when he dies, they cannot be collected by the sale of his estate, which descends without mortgage to his heir. But, as Sir Alfred had no heirs, his estates were mortgaged, and the Jews expected to sell them at his death. But, on last Christmas, an heir landed in England. He had come from New York, and this is his strange story. The chief of the Tichborne fnmily who succeeded to the estates in 1853 bad two sons at the time—Roger Charles (the eldest), and Alfred, the prodigal baronet of whom I have been speaking. Roger Charles was 24 years old and Alfred 14 when their father became the heir,to the estates. The old man died in 18S2. But, some time before RusGgNiaovrnnl.b—sTtohaya e, rrived his death, Roger Charles left England, with mi the TM ult., M days fmin ('iillao. We are indchted to Mis.-is.

Consulgeneral in China.—A correspondent ihus writes us from Shnnghae, under dale of Feb. 6th, 1887: "Mr. G. F. Seward, nephew of W. H. Seward, Secretary of State, goes as passenger per Colorado. He has filled the post of Consul-General in China for about five years, with an ability and uprightness one does not often witness in our officials to the East. He seems universally regretted by his fellow-countrymen and colleagues." We hope the day may come when all officials of the U. S. Government abroad, may sustain characters which entitle them to such testimony from their fellow-countrymen. If there is anything which makes an American abroad blush for shame, it is to have his country represented by men whose conduct tends to bring reproach upon the model Republic. We have known such men sent to the Sandwich Islands, but a brighter day has dawned ! The General Meeting.—The Annual Meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association will commence its sessions early next week. The Rev. Mr. Pogue preaches the Annual Sermon on Foreign Missions, nnd the Rev. C. B. Andrews the Sermon on Home Missions. Late Rains.—Reports from the other islands and evidences meeting the eye in all directions, make manifest that this year the farmers and planters will not complain for the want of rain. The country is looking finely. Seldom have we witnessed such verdure anil greenness on the first of June. General Health.—We have seldom known so few strangers and seamen sick in Honolulu, as at the present time. Only five foreign patients are at the Queen's Hospital and eleven jtf the U. S. Hospital. The annual meeting of the Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society will be held on Thursday afternoon, June 6th, at the residence of the Seamen's Chaplain. An Indian Missionary.—We saw and conversed with on Thursday morning last, au Indian of the tribe, or association of tribes known iv California as "The Piggere," from their subsisting a portion of the year on roots, dug from the ground. The present specimen of that much abused race came to these Islands in 1850, with the late Mr. Win. Johnson, on whose ranch he had been living, on the Sacramento river, and with whom he continued to live at Komi, Hawaii, until Johnson's death. During the past three years, he has been at school with one of the American missionaries on Hawaii. While there, bis conduct is said to have been correct and religious, and he studied hard, with the intention, as it now appears, to become a missionary of the gospel u> his own people. He weqt in the Comet, and while we bid him God-speed on his mission, we indulge the hope that he may in some measure be the means of checking the "no quarter war which is now going on between the whites and reds op this side of the Rooky Mountains. " La, the poor Indian, whose untutored mind, sag* God In trees, and hears him In thewind," is now being shot down "on sight," by white men, merely because he is an Indian. It sounds queer, that Hawaii nei, so recently in a state of barbarism, should send a missionary to California. Our Indian's name in his own country, is Moonon, in Hawaiian, \?"???'• ia>er ofr.which has the some meaning in English-Wind.C. Adv., 26M May. • — Dr. R. \V. Wood. A letter has been received from this gentleman, dated Paris, March 11th. He was then niKMit to leave the city, in company with C. Brewer, Esq., and family, for ■ tour through Italy and Germany, to return to Paris about the Ist of August. He refers to the immense preparations being made for the "Grand Exposition." Representatives from every nation on the globe were there, building huts, houses, pagodas, temples, churches, schoolhouses, and fitting them up, each in his own peculiar style of architecture and fancy. He refers to the Commissioner from (he State of Illinois being unable to procure tools or workmen in Paris, and being compelled to send off to England. We hope some of our island visitors at the Exposition,'' will occasionally furnish us with a letter. " . -1011 \ S. McGRRW, M. D., I'hvslfUn and Surjjeoo. Office—Over Dr. K.

Our Catholic neighbors, on the anniversary of " Corpus Christi," turn out in full regalia and make a great display. Banners, flags, music, flowing robes, and numerous other accessory aids, render the procession quite imposing. Bell ringing—that never-failing element of Catholic worship and display— adds its attraction. Priests and nuns, young and old, swell the grand procession. We can well imagine that processions of this nature, in really Catholic countries, must be quite • imposing. In the midst of our anniversary scenes, the Morning Star arrives with good news from the Marquesas Islands. An interesting report of the late voyage of this missionary vessel has been issued in the form of a supplement to the Friend for this month. We think our numerous readers, on land and sea, will be interested in the journal of the Rev. T. Coan. Exchange of Seeds and Plants. —From a copy of the Daily Sacramento Unwa. for April 28th, we learn that J. Q. A. Warren, Esq., who visited the Islands in 1865 and '66, is now in Sacramento, engaged in exchanging seeds and plants. He has various kinds of rice, which he is willing to give away to those applying. He it also introducing some of our shade trees into Califor- nia, such as the algeroba, tamarind, guava, etc. This is a method ot usefulness which we rejoice in seeing practiced. Capt. Cook found these Islands comparatively barren of fruits and vegetables, whereas now Dr. Hillebrand, who has justreturned from a voyage to China, India, Java and elsewhere, declares that we are even *ow better offforfruits than the inhabitants of those countries.

The great encouragement to prosecute this work is yet to be mentioned, viz : God is with hi. acter of these We are engaged in the same work for which the Father gave his Son, and for which the Son gave his life. He who gave Moses his commission and was with him in all his labors, has said to us, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever 1 have commanded you: and, 10, lam with you alway, even unto the end of the world." Had we not one of the encouragements which we have to urge us to duty— were our enemies a thousand times more powerful than they are—yet with this blessed promise, "I will be with you," we ought to gird ourselves for the battle, and as the conflict waxes hotter and hotter, march with our conquering King to conquest and to victory. When this victory shall have beenachieved— the top stone placed upon this monument— the nation emancipated from Satan'srule and saved—with joy will we inscribe upon it, our help. Not unto us, "butEbenezer—God to thy great name, 0 Father, be the praise for ever and ever." Pitcairners on Norfolk Island. We have received a letter from one of the old Pitcairn Islanders, now residing on Norfolk Island. The writer's name is Buffett. This person visited Honolulu over twenty years ago and wrote a series of articles upon the history of the Pitcairn Islanders, which were published in the Friend during the year 1846. It will be recollected by our readers that all the inhabitants (about two hundred) of Pitcairn's Island were removed by the British Government to Norfolk Island, after that island was abandoned as a penal settlement. So much dissatisfied were some of these people that they chartered a schooner and returned to their old home on Pitcairn's Island, where they are now living. Among those who remained on Norfolk Island was our correspondent, Mr. John Buffett, who married a daughter of one of the original mutineers of the Bounty. This letter was written February 7th, 1867. # « # # We are now getting on very well. We obtained about two hundred and forty barrels of humpback oil this year, and last year about three hundred and fifty barrels. We export cheese and butter, and should get on very well if they would leave us alone; but they want to civilize us, and we find it a great deal better to be semi-civilized, as we do not find so much roguery in the latter as in the former state. When we came here we were officially informed that the land, withthe exception of seven hundred acres, as glebe land, was ours, and the sheep and cattle also; but we soon found to the contrary, for the sheep were taken from us, and all the cattle we had not marked, and we now understand that a thousand acres of the best land on the island is sold, or to be sold to the Bishop of Melenesia, and we have nothing to say in the matter. Some time ago we advocated that the Bishop should have a branch school on the island, we supposing that at most he would not want more �TII X FRIEND, than two hundred acres, but judge of our surprise when we heard of his having a ninth part of the island. You may have heard or seen the reports published in the Sydney Morning Herald, where our community whs scandalized as sunk in utter indolence, as being too lazy to do anything for ourselves, etc. —in fact, making us to be worse than the savages in the interior of Africa. No doubt it was done with the intention of degrading us, that others may have the credit of raising us in the scale of civilization. John Adams and myself have endeavored to refute the slander. Our reply has been published in the Sydney Empire, and the editor of the Empire has kindly given his opinion on the subject, which agrees with ours. I wish, most reverend Sir, you may see the publication, but 1 can assure you it is a most slanderous and disgusting account of our character. I hope some day to land on Pitcairn's, and then I shall be nearer to you, and have the pleasure of communicating with you. In the meantime, dear Sir, if you will kindly do what you can to assist in forwarding communication between us and Pitcairn's, you would greatly oblige-us. I remain, dear Sir, Your obedient servant, John Buffett. P. S.—Reading in the Friend an account of the South Sea missions, I noticed the remark that two young men belonging to our community were killed at Santa Cruz by the natives. I would inform you, Sir, that one was a son of Rev. Mr. Nobbs—the other a dear grandson of mine, Fisher Young, whose mother and father, Simon and Mary Young, are now on Pitcairn's. We know not yet if they have heard of their loss, but there is one thing that consoles me. It was my dear daughter's first-born son, and at his birth, she, like Hannah, gave him to the Lord, and we hope that He received him, and that he now wears a martyr's crown. They were both engaged in the missionary cause, not as sailors, but teachers, and 1 believe they are the first who fell in the Melenesian missionary cause. They were both young men, bom at Pitcairn's, and had they been spared, the one would have succeeded Mr. Nobbs, and the other, I think, would have been chaplain at Pitcairn's. But it has pleased the Lord to call them in the morning of life, and 1 hope and trust that they are enjoying " that rest which remains for the peoJ. B. ple of God."

Beecheb's Norwood, or Village Life in New England.—There was a time at no very distant date, when novels were tabu to some of the good people of America. A change has come over the minds of many upon this subject. Seeing " Norwood " advertised in the New York Observer, we presumed it would not be wrong to read it, so for the first time in our life, we bought a copy of the New York Ledger. Keport says the publisher of the Ledger pays Mr. Beecher $10,000 for this serial, which will make its appearance in the successive numbers of the Ledger. The scene of " Norwood " is laid in the valley of the Connecticut. " Look," says the writer, with my eyes, good reader, " upon the town ol Norwood, that refusing to go down upon the fat bottom-lands of the Connecticut, daintily perches itself upon the irregular slopes west, and looks over upon that transcendent valley from under its beautiful shade trees, and you will say that no fairer village glistens in the sunlight, or nestles under arching elms. It is a wonder (hat Norwood was ever allawed to venture so near the low grounds of the Connecticut—for it was early settled, not far from thirty years after the Pilgrims' landing." This paragraph takes us again to the scenes of college life, when on vacation and festival days, we rambled over the hills of Hampshire County and along the banks of the beautiful Connecticut, .under those " arching elms." We have visited Norwood, or some similar town in that beautiful region. Hadley, Hatfield, Northampton, Sunderland and Greenfield are all sister towns to Norwood. We thank Mr. B. for transporting us to that delightful region of Massachusetts. Nearly six years we spent in Amherst, looking forth upon the very spot where " Norwood aestles under arching elms." We shall follow Rachel Liscomb and Abiah Cathcart as they settle down to life's labors on the old Templeton farm. We have visited many such farms, and looked down many " old-fasbioned wells of mysterious depth," and drank from the old oaken bucket, " spurting out its contents on every side, and filling the well with a musical splashing sound, reserving hardly enough to serve for a good drink." We shall be disappointed if Mr. B. does not furnish his readers with many a bright page descriptive of New England life. His descriptions are life-like. Abiah Cathcart's horses we have seen a hundred times, and "the great golden-speckled rooster" we heard crow more than thirty years ago, aa he drew " up with magisterial dignity." 18 67. Whether Mr. B. has really struck thatrich mine of golden ore that lies embedded under the angular and somewhat stiff exterior of New England character, remains to be seen. But that there is a rich mine there, is a fact that some future Scott or Irving will yet disclose. The world has already heard much about New England, but the reading world may rest assured the story of New England life, habits and character has not yet been fully portrayed. We shall anxiously wait to see whether Mr. Beecher has been endowed with the " Divine gift " to unfold and portray New England life and character. The "Sparkler."—This is the attractive name of a monthly journal of art and literature published by the Pithanologian Society of Columbia Grammar School, New York city. Three numbers have been received, and they indicate wit, taste and ability on the part of the youthful aspirants for editorial fame. The two sons of Dr. G. A. Lathrop, formerly of Honolulu, are contributors to the columns of the Sparkler. When they resided in Honolulu, these boys were "brimfull" of Young America, and we should infer that the same spirit still animated their ■minds. We notice some poetical effusions and translations from the French in the Sparkler. Success to the conductors. We shall be happy to exchange. Young Ladies' Seminary, Benicia.—This institution, under the efficient management of Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Mills, with its eleven teachers and one hundred and twenty pupils, (eighty-one of whom are boarders,) appears to be in most successful operation. A catalogue has been received. We are fully confident its advantages equal those of any other female seminary this side of the Rocky Mountains. We notice among the graduates this year that there are two from the Islands— MissClaraandMissMarionßowell.ol Kauai. Stranger's Friend Society.—The ladies of Honolulu, interested in sustaining the Stranger's Friend Society, met on the 6th of June at the residence of the Seamen's Chaplain. From the report of Mrs. A. E. Austin, the Treasurer, it appeared that the Society had assisted fifteen sick and indigent persons belonging to five different nationalities, viz Oahu College. The annuul examination and exhibition of thits institution liavc taken place during the past month, and been well attended. Indeed the hall was crowded on each occasion to its utmost capacity. The number of students has increased the past year, and the catalogue shows that 74 have been m attendance. Considerable improvement was noticeable in the various classes examined, and the readiness with which the scholars answered all questions showed that they had been well drilled. The hall was decorated with thirty-five specimens of colored drawings, evidencing the skill of the pupils in this branch of their instruction. The report of the examining committc, which we insert below, is so full that more from us will not be necessary. We may here state that the institution wns founded in lH4l,and is consequently twenty-six years old. Its total endowment fund amounts to #35,205, including four thousand dollars recently given by James llunnewell, Esq., of Boston, which makes the total of his gift #10,000. We sincerely trust that some special efforts will lie made to increase the fund to one hundred thousand dollars, as the College needs more teachers and buildings, and with ample provision in these respects, it might accommodate two hundred students. REPORT Of the <'••iiimiiK■■■ Appointed n> attend il.r Kxmiiiiiai ion of Ihe Onhu College, on the lllii, lglhnud 13th of June. With the school year just closed, Oahu College entered upon it* second quarter of a century. It is interesting to notice the change in the relative position of the institution indicated by the Catalogue of Pupils, in which there are only fourteen out of seventy-four names who arc children of American Missionaries, while six are of purely Hawaiian parentage. This institution was commenced with reference to the whole English-speaking community of these islands; and it is gratifying that it has, thus early in its biftory, develop*! so successfully in the direction intended by its foumlers. The crowded attendance upon the examination and exhibition gave full evidence that our community is not wanting in appreciation ofthe plan of the institution, and of the mode in which it is being carried out. The compression of the examination into a day and a half was productive of increased interest, and did not detract from its real value.

He told me of it the next morning. 1 sat down on the deck and asked what will become of me. I thought of the vows I made in the hour of danger to my long suffering God. I thought of the many perils 1 had escaped, and the many times I had been delivered from death. My poor father's last prayer for me came more forcibly tomy mind than ever, and as I leaned over the side of the ship I wept where none could see me, but Him who despiseth not the tears of the contrite. I felt the influence of the Divine Spirit working in my soul, and my heart was softened. Rev. Mr. Damon, the seamen's chaplain, came on board with Death of John Byrns, Lay Missionary to erty to go on shore, having Seamen on East River, New York. tor that I would not get Late New York papers, as well as private letters, announce the death of this earnest laborer in the seamen's cause. Some of our renders may remember a long article published in the Friend of last September, entitled, "A Wandering Sailor brought home to God." That sailor was Mr. John Byrns, whose useful career has now been brought to a close. Mr. Byrns had become well known in New York as one of the most successful laborers among seamen. He had been a soldier in the British army, and afterwards scived as a sailor on board an American manof-war. He was a native of Ireland. Several years ago we read a letter written by Mr. Byrns and published in the Sailor's Magbooks and tracts. azine. From this letter we copy the followparagraphs : In February, 1854,1 entered the United States navy, and in July following sailed for the Pacific, rejoicing that I was where my relatives would never see me again,and purposing when I reached some foreign port to run away from the service. But God's mercy was leading me in a way I knew not. Four ing days out from Rio Janeiro we were overtaken by"a storm. The waves rose mountain high, the thunders rolled,and the lightnings played. In the twinkling of an eye our mizzenmast went by the board, and shortly after our mainmast. We expected the foremast to follow. All hands were called to save ship— the signal gun proclaimed distress and called for relief. Terror was on every countenance, and hurried thoughts of dear parents, of wives and children whom they might never see more, wrung many hearts with anguish. But these thoughts did not trouble me. My past sins rushed up before me, God's gracious spirit resisted. His long suffering provoked, and now I thought the barren fig tree was about to be cut down. I exclaimed, "well, I'm damned for ever, and justly too. The Lord called and I would not obey, and now he is going to destroy my soul." My sainted father's last prayer came up to my view, and I saw his raised hands praying even in death for his poor wandering child. I lifted my heart to God, and said, " 0 Lord spare me but once more, and I will serve Thee." I cried to Him for Jesus' sake to save me. He heard my prayer, and we were delivered from death. I continued to pray for a time, morning and night, but did not leave off drinking rum, a ration of which was served out to us> daily. Soon after it pleased God to lay his afflicting hand upon me. 1 was seized with inflammatory rheumatism, which deprived me of the use of my hands and feet, and so racked my whole body with pain, that 1 often wept as 1 lay on the deck, and wk-hed I had never I went to him and said, He give me a Testament ? so, and commenced to read and study it, but the more 1 read, the more I felt condemned. I thought 1 had gone too far to expect forgiveness, and as my burden increased I knew not what I should do. I roamed about the deck ; I could not eat, nor remain five minutes in one place. Where, thought I, shall I now go ? My sin has found me out. God will cut me down now, and I shall be in hell for ever. Still I felt and acknowledged his justice in so doing. I remained in this wretched state four or five days. I did not know that there was a christian on board, but thinking that a very moral young man with us might be one, I made my case known to him. He replied, " You must not give way so ; pray a little in the morning and at night, and if you are sorry for getting drunk, God is good and will forgive you ; so think no more on the subject. You are weak in body, and if you feel so, your health will give way. So come John, cheer up and help us sing "didSir, will you I " 'Poor Dog Tray.'" "Ah," said I, "shipmate, ' Poor Dog Tray' can't give me any comfort now ; the arrows of the Almighty are fast within me, and unless He restores my soul nothing else will." He replied, "I hope you are not going to extremes." "I am going," said I, " to begin in earnest and seek God. 0 that I knew where I might find Him !" I continued to read my Testament, but the more I read the greater was my bur- den. I was soon called to meet severe persecution. Wherever I went through the ship, I met mockery and scorn ; but Jesus was with me, and stood by me. In the night my hammock was let down by the men while I was asleep, and I fell across a large chest. I was not much hurt, but somewhat stunned, and' holding on to a stauncheon, I kneh down and prayed to my God not to lay this sin to their charge. I was asked the next morning if the Lord did not visit me during the night. Yes, said 1,blessed be His name, and if you do not repent, He you think not. 53 will visit you in an hour when They threatened to burn my Bible. Ah, said I, that might do in my poor priest-ridden country, but, thank God, I am sailing under the stars and stripes now, and Antichrist cannot hold its deluded victims in slavery here. The laws of America protect my rights, and no one, I say it with respect and love to my officers, shall prevent me from reading God s word, and praying and praising Him. After a little while the mouths of the revilers were stopped, so that I could walk up boldly and speak to any of the crew about the welfare of their souls. 1 continued to pray for my shipmates, and soon had the comfort of seeing a boy about sixteen years of age come out on the side of the Lord. He was next the mark for ridicule, but He who never forsakes His children stood by him, and delivered him from their snares. Seeing this dear soul rejoicing in God, I felt much encouraged to persevere in my efforts for the salvation of my shipmates. We both united in covenant to serve the Lord. Never shall 1 forget that night, when under the bow of the launch we knelt together, and gave ourselves away to Him who had loved us. This dear boy was much tried by the wicked men, but nothing was able to move him. One officer on board tried to stagger his faith; he used to send for him in the only times the boy had to study and improve his mind, and , where ask such question's as this : " E did Cain get his wife ? " " Sir," he replied, "I am ignorant. The only answer 1 can give you is, my God knows where Cain got his wife, and I did not ask him this question when I felt the burden of my sins, but I cried, God be merciful to me a sinner." At Tahiti the crew got liberty to goashore, and for four or five days abandoned themselves to intemperance. During this time I had much abuse to encounter, but I strove to bear up under it, looking totrmt Saviour who endured the scoffings of poor vile men. I was much comforted by those words of his, of me." " learn On reaching New York, being still afflicted with lameness, I was sent to the hospital in Brooklyn, where I remained two months happy in the Lord. My health having improved, I obtained my discharge and left the service. I have since been in the Sailor's Home in this city, wheie I have received much kindness from Captain Tracy and his wife, and had the joy of seeing seveml of the boarders hopefully brought to Christ. The welfnre of the sailor is very near my heart, and I cannot but pray and hope thatthe time is at hand when the abundance ol the sea shall be converted to God. New Books on the Hawaiian Islands.— We learn that W. T. Brigham, Esq., of Boston, who visited the Islands two years ago, is preparing, and will very soon publish, a memoir on the geology of the Hawaiian Islands ; and that his companion, Mr. Mann, will publish a work upon the botany of the Islands. Some few pages of Mr. Mann's work have already been received by Dr. Hillebrand. We are glnd to know that men of science are laboriously toiling to investigate the natural history of the Islands. Persons competent to judge inform us that much yet remains to be explored. �THE FRIEND, JULY, 186 54 Hawaiian Evangelical Association. Hawaiian Evangelical Association has been session the past month, and engaged each in discussing questions of vital importance lag moral and religious well-being of the Hawaiian people. The reports from the various stations throughout the islands all corroborate the fact that vice, immorality and drunkenness are rapidly on the increase, and unless soon chocked by the stern authority of law, the Hawaiian race will ere long be numbered among the K'he put. The attendance of missionaries, native pastors and lay delegates from the churches is larger than ever before. The association numbers not for from seventy or eighty members, comprising among them the most educated of the Hawaiian race, and some really able native speakers, whom ,itis a pleasure to listen to. One can notice from year to year a decided advance among them in all the qualities that go to make leaden and teachers of the people. On June 13th, Captain William Reynolds, of the Lackawanna, was present, and made a few remarks to the association, which wo arc permitted to insert. No one is more competent to state tho facts which he docs, as in 1839-42 he accompanied Lieutenant Wilkes in his Exploring Expedition, and visited nearly every group of islands in the Pacific, saw the natives in their own countries, under various forms of religious teaching, and from perspnal observation makes his own comparisons. Coming from such a source, the following statements will carry weight wherever they may be read in any part of the civilized world : ADDRESS Or CAPT. WM. REYNOLDS. Mr Friekds— It is not as a stranger, nor as the Captain of a ship-of-war recently arrived, but rather as one whose recollections of then islands go back to more than a quarter of a century ago, and who subsequently made hii home among you for many years, that I venture to say a few words on this interesting occasion of the annual meeting of the American Missionaries to the Hawaiian Islands, at Honolulu. So long ago as 1840 it was quite evident that American influence, both lay and clerical, was thepredominant agency at work in shaping the religious, social and business relations of this people, and to my brother officers and to myself it was most gratifying to find that, under the auspices of our countrymen, a very satisfactory state of things prevailed here, in marked contrast to what had been observed at the southern groups in this ocean. I will endeavor to state briefly the prominent points which then came under my notice, and which subsequently became more apparent to me, and to oiler in passing, a slight contrasting allusion to the condition of matters in the South Pacific. The relations between the foreigners residing here and the Hawaiians were then, in the main peaceful, and this unusual but happy condition has continued to this day. Acts of violence between individuals of the two races have been almost unknown, and, if lam not mistaken, it is only within a few months that the life of a white man has been taken by a Hawaiian since the advent of the American Missionaries in 1820. The Hawaiian people have been generally educated in due regard to their capacity and needs, insomuch that the bulk of them have been able to read and write, and a fair proportion qualified to conduct such business as pertains to their modes of life. Hawaiians have had seats for many years in Parliament, have served as judges and jurors, and have engaged in the practice of law and in various other callings and occupations. They possess the advantages of newspapers in the Hawaiian language, and they are very much given to writing letters to and fro by the post The marriage tie was early established among them, and the family relation encouraged with an Improvement of their moral condition as remarkable* as that of their intellectual advancement Churches have been erected in every hamlet and the Sabbath has ben as reverently observed as it it at home. The Bible was long ago published in the Hawaiian language and distributed by the American Mission •xMbsively among the people. For all these advantages the Hawaiian people are indebted to the gesvous kindness of American friends, who, 48 yeartAgo, when the rest of mankind were indifferent to the welfare of the Hawaiian race, founded a Christian Mission within this group, and who have sustained that Mission with unfailing seal and liberality np to the present day. To the labors of these American Missionaries, the Hawaiian people owe their written language and all the literature they possess, as well as the education by which they are enabled to read and write, and to take a part in the affairs of life. A college, a high school, divers boarding schools, and a system of common schools, after the New England model, have been the means by which the American Mission have so successfully elevated the Hawaiians above the ignorant state in which they were found in 1820, and so early was this process of instruction inaugurated and so successful was its operation among the people that, when in later years, Missionaries of another creed sought to establish a footing here, they found it necessary Jo set aside their usual practice of non-education, and to enter into competition with the American Mission in the matter of instructing the natives, in order to maintain their ground at all. Another wise and thoughtful act of the American Mission was the establishment of a boarding school for the children of the chiefs, in an excellent family of the Mission, which gave to them the inestimable advantage of the influence of a good New England home during their tender years, in addition to the educational opportunities thus provided for. This school was in successful operation in 1840, and was one of the most gratifying examples of the liberal and judicious measures of onr countrymen for the benefit of the Hawaiians that then fell under my observation. The present King, as well as the late King, were members of this first Hoyal school. I am not aware that any cotemporaneous Mission in the Pacific, or any Mission established at a later day in this ocean, has had so great a measure of success attendant on their efforts, as has been the case with the Hawaiians under the instruction of the Missionaries from the United States. At Tahiti, in 1830, the difference in favor of the Hawaiians was very manifest, although an English Mission had been established there at that time for more than forty years, and over twenty in advance of the American Mission here. Since then events have placed Tahiti out of the comparison. At the Tonga Isles, a civil and religious war was prevailing in 1840, encouraged by the English missionaries of that day as stated by Captain Wilkes, in the narrative of the U. S. Kxploring Expedition; and at the Navigator Group, where is also an English mission, civil and religious wars have prevailed of late years, adding largely, of course, to the other causes at work, in depopulating those islands. At New Zealand, the newspapers of the day are boasting of having the longest war on hand ever known, between the English and the New Zealand people. At these islands an English mission has been established for more titan fifty years, and has the benefit of a bishopric or two, in its support, a sacerdotal aid which is the one tiling needful, according to modern opinion in certain quarters, when the conversion of a primitive people from barbarism to Christianity is to be undertaken. Yet mission results in New Zealand, even with such a potent priestly agency at work, have not had the highest success or produced the most gratifying results. Only last year a coasting schooner was cut off by the natives, and an English missionary particularly selected and put to death, and afterwards eaten; a little transaction which certainly does not exhibit the most affectionate relations as existing between the natives and their pastors. Bishop Williams of Waipa, New Zealand, has published an account of Christianity among the New Zealanders from 1805 to 1865, on which an English critic remarks as follows : One of the most recent acts of the New Zealanders in connection with Christianity was to eat a missionary or rather a missionary's brains, and the Bishop of Waipa may well say that it may seem a most unfavorable tune for publishing a book on Christian missions, but more particularly one which professes to give an account of Christianity among the New Zealanders. However, the Bishop is not altogether dissatisfied with the results of missionary labors and seems to think that if Satan, in the form of Romish priests, could be cast oat, true Christianity would make great progress." That Bishop therefore finds Satan in the form of Roman Catholic priests in the way of his making the " New Zealanders true Christians, after 50 years trial, whereas another Bishop nearer at hand and newly entered upon the mission field in the Pacific, finds the obnoxious American Puritans (accorning to a recent catechism, descendants of one Brown and his followers who, settled New England after cutting off the head of Charles the First, and it may be inferred that these descendants came here to cut off the heads of all the Kamehamehas) to be kit Satan in the way of making the Hawaiians true Christians, and makes no mention of the Romish priests who have been here for many years, as impeding in any way the good cause of religious conversion. These two prelates disagree so decidedly upon such a vital point, that it is not likely that either of them can be correct, and it is to be hoped that Bishop Williams is as unjust, and as wide of the truth, in throwing upon the Romish priests at New Zealand, the onus of thwarting the conversion of that martyred race, of whom, out of a very large population, but 40,000 are reported to be now left alive, as the Hawaiian Bishop is in pronouncing the American mission at the Hawaiian Isles, after an existence of nearly half a century, to be a failure; and, in charging it with making the people worse morally than they were in their heathen days. It is with a sense of shame for my kind that I feel compelled to allude upon this occasion to such an extraordinary statement, coming from such a source. If it could be true, or even near the truth, the cause of missions might well be abandoned all over the earth ; but the common phases of Hawaiian life give to it a denial, the mission of the Morning Star in carrying Hawaiian pastors to evangelixe other isles gives it a denial; the scenes of yesterday and of to-day give to it a denial; turn which way you will, there is nothing to be found in its support. Indeed the wickedness of this assertion is only to be equalled by its folly. Puritanism and immorality have never been allies in any shape, and all the assertions of all the Bishojie of Christendom cannot make it appear that the American missionaries at these islands have afforded an exception to the rule. The most complete defence of this American mission, if it needs one, is to be found at this day in these facts: that an Hawaiian Monarch is still upon the throne, with his people and some thousands of foreigners living together in peace and security, while the Marquesas, Tahiti and New Zealand have long since lost their native kings,—that the Hawaiians arc an educated people, and the churches and schools fully attended throughout the group, that many Hawaiians arc in the ministry; that some are at work as missionaries at other isles, to the South and to the West; that others are successfully teaching their younger kindred in the schools of the kingdom; that the moral and social condition of the people corresponds with the advancement of their education—that no civil or religious wars have taken place since the advent of the American mission in 1820, and that, as is fully apparent to any truthful observer, the Hawaiians generally love and respect the American clergymen and teachers who have devoted their lives to the improvement of the Hawaiian race. I do not for a moment suppose that you, my countrymen, of the American mission, require a word of support from me; you can safely rely upon your position, which is impregnable as it stands upon the sure foundation of truth and cannot be disturbed by the slanders of your enemies; but as it is my good fortune to be present upon this interesting occasion, as I have been for so many years a witness of your good deeds and an observer of their excellent results, I could not say less than I have said. I will close with the hope that you will neither be dismayed nor discouraged by opposition from any quarter, and that still faithfully supported by the Awrerican Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and sustained by the admiration and by the best wishes of all good men of your own, and of every country, you will persevere in your Christian work unto the end. The following facts indicate that the English people are sensible.. Who would not prefer to jee a drunken man whipped to a poor horse abused ?

We also have the corpse of Joseph Tiiekai, a Mart|uesan chief, and one of the first converts to Christianity on the islands, who died at Honolulu, and is being returned for sepul- his native Fatuiva. April 8. —At 4, A. M., Meto, a Marquesan female, died. She came on board at Honolulu sick. During the day the corpse was prepared for its watery grave, and at 4, P. M., by order of the master, our noble packet waff arrested in her foaming track through the sea, and she lay quietly upon the waters. Remarks were made, prayers offered, nnd tears shed, when the remains of our Marquesan sister plunged into the dark waves and passed from our sight. Again the Morning Star took the wind into her wings nnd rushed ture to through the waters at the rate of nine knots an hour. It was a solemn season, and the sudden arrest of the ship in her pathway through the deep, nnd all the attendant circumstances of committing a fellow being to a lone grave in this vast waste of waters, seemed to impress us with the worth of man, when the winds, the waves, the inanimate ship, and all surrounding objects seemed to pause in their career, and, with rational and immortal beings, to bow in silent awe to the high behest of Him who remands our bodies to the earth and calls our spirits before His bar. Sleep, sister, in thy deep and dark tomb. The " Dayspring from on high " dawned upon thee ere thou wast called away, and we have hope for thee, that when the sea shall give up her dead, then thou will appear an angel of light among the ransomed and joyous throng, which come up from all nations, and kindreds, and peoples ami tongues. Sabbath, April 21.—"Land ho!" rang from our decks at dawn this morning. Light winds, calms and a three-knot current have set us far west of our codrse, and we are among the Paumotu group, named by Bougainville " Dangerous Archipelago." Two beautiful islands are within two miles (if us, called King George's Isles, but in the vernacular, Taroa and Taputa. The larger is fifteen miles and the smaller twelve miles long, and separated by a channel four and a half miles wide. They were discovered by Le Maire and Schoutcr in 1616. They are low coral ntolls, belonging to a group of nearly one hundred, lying between the Marquesan and Society Islands; and they are well named Paumotu, which means "A cloud of islands.'' Different islands of the group were discovered at different times nnd by many navigators, as Quinos in 1606; Le Maire and Schouter in 1616 ; Koggewein in 1722 ; Byron in 1765 ; Wallis and Carteret in 1767; Cook in 1769, 1773 and 1774; Bougainville in 1763; Boenecheo in H72 and 1774; Edwards in 1791; Bligh in 1792; Wilson in 1797; Turnbull in 1803. Later and more careful observations have been made on the group by Kotzebuc in 1816, 1823, Bellingshausen in ISI9, Beeehey in 1526. Fitzroy in 1835, and Wilkes in IS4I. Wilkes supposes the population to 'he ten thousand. The inhabitants are in a degraded and, mostly, in a savage state. Nearly all the islands are low, and of coral formation, builded by that silent and wonder-working architect, the zoophyte. The sight of King George's Islands on a bright Sabbath morning was truly charming. The shores are one continuous belt of white coral sand, kissed by the blue rippling wavelets. Within this encircling zone is a bright garland of evergreens, composed of the cocoanut, pandanus, knu, and various shrubs and grasses, so intertwined as to form a beautiful �58 SUPPLEMENT TO TBE FRIEND, JULY, 1867.

He then returned a baptized christian to his native valley, where he has taught school and kept up christian service on the Sabbath. He appears well, and we think his influence has been for good among his people. Among his scholars, five read fairly in the Hawaiian Testament, and fifteen in the Marquesan primer. We spent the evening until very late, in examining, instructing and praying with candidates for church communion, proposing fo organize a church in the morning. May 7.—Early this morning we organized a christian church at Hanamenu, consisting of ten members—seven males and three females. Of these, fout had been baptized by Mr. Bicknell on Oahu, and six were new Candidates. The Rev. J. Kekela, of Puamau, was chosen pastor, and Daniel Taoefitu, deacon. After this the Lord's Supper was administered'for the first time in this place. The s:ene was one of deep and tender interest. land until Kekela, the resident missionary, came on board, as the only safe landing place had long been in the hands of savage warriors, hostile to the friends of Kekela. After waiting a long time we discovered two sail-boats coming out of the bay— one heading towards us, and the other steering west along the high shore of the island. This soon disappeared, and we afterwards not attempt to learned that it was the last of a fleet of warboats and canoes returning from the war in Puamau. The other boat contained Kekela, who leaped on board with tears of joy, and was surprised with delight on finding his daughter, Maria Ogden, weeping on his neck. Miss Kckcln is now seventeen years old, and she has not seen her mother for fourteen years, nor had she ever seen the valley where her parents, sister and brother reside. The meeting was affecting. Kekela told us that the war had just closed; that the last fighting was on the sth, the Sabbath previous lo our arrival ; that the lust ally from other valleys returned on the morning of our arrival,-and that the people who hud for months been hid in thickctsand rocks and fortresses were beginning to crawl out of their hiding places in the hills, and coiue down to the shore. This was glad news, and it seemed as Providential as joyful. The door was opened for us among the heathen, and we were invited to enter. We went on shore with the Captain and all the ladies. Landing near the French Mission, we called on the priest who now occupies the station, and who very kindly offered his boat to Kekela to come on board the Morning Star, Kekela being destitute of one of his own. This priest speaks English, and he once lived at Halawa on Oahu. We had dispatches for him from his Bishop at Taiohae. He was very urbane and social, and he received us with much cordiality. In answer to the question how he enjoyed life among these savages, he replied, " It is not very agreeable." On leaving him he sent us ■ basket of large oranges and three loaves of hot bread. We walked one-fourth of a mile on the beach, amidst a crowd of rude and garrulous people, who almost frightened our ladies. Many of them had just come out of war, and there was a savage wildness, an impertinent impudence and a ferocious license about them which we had seen no where else. Natives from other islands called them " wild bulls." Their audacious disregard of order had been probably enhanced by the late war. How surely war develops the direst and most diabolical passions ofhuman nature. It makes civilization savage, and savages infernal. We found Naomi, Mrs. Kekela, well, and overjoyed to meet her daughter, whom she left in Oahu when only three years old. Kekela lives in a good house, built of stone, twenty-two by forty-five feet, with attic and cellar. It is the best house in the Mission, and well adapted for a boarding-school. At 9, A. M., Captain and Mrs. Bingham came on shore, and at 11 we bade our six fellow passengers from Hawaii, our ten christian brethren and sisters in Christ, and the mixed multitude which gathered around, an affectionate and sincere farewell, and returned to the packet. How faithfully this dear vessel waits on our ministrations and administers to our wants.

The old, the sick, the women and children fled and hid in the forests and jungle, while the young ond the veteran braves kept watch day and night. Had the large force in the eastern part of the valley been bold, they had swept all before them in the western part. But they are all cowards, never fighting in rank or in the open field, but always in ambush, where each man conceals himself, and, like a tiger, leaps privily upon his prey. Still they succeed in killing, wounding and capturing about as many, in proportion to the numbers engaged, as the nations of Europe and America. Nor do they think themselves more wicked than christians in thus fighting one another. When the savages kill two, we call it murder. When christian generals slaughter two hundred thousand, we pronounce it glorious. Have we not all one faiher? and will not one God judge all ? lit'iiiii of Main.

The war has disarranged all things here. We found no scliool.no church, and we were informed that no one came to worship on the Sabbath except Kekela's immediate attendants, or family friends and domestics. This seemed sad and painful. Kekela is a good Hawaiian scholar, an intelligent man, and a man of energy of character and diversified capabilities. But he seems to have become discouraged. His hands hang down, and he had even talked of returning lo Oahu. His pigs have been stolen, his donkeys and mule killed and eaten,one ofhis out-houses burned, anil a nocturnal effort made to burn his large stone house. This failed by Kckela's being awakened by the snapping of a firelock and the flash of light. He arose, and the incen- diaries lied.

Ilicnoa, May 9.—Atuona is the station of Mr. Z. llapuku. It is a broad, deep and luxuriant valley, and the surrounding scenery is more grand and diversified, if possible, than any we have seen. The great rampart of rocks in the rear is the highest point of all the islands, and it is usually hung with a cloudy drapery.

This subject engrossed much attention, and it was resolved to establish at once a boarding-school for girls at Puamau, under the care of the Key. J. Kekela and wife, and a school for boys ot Hakahekau, or rather at Hakanahi on Uapou, under the care of Rev. S. Kauwealoha and wife. For the purpose of carrying these resolutions promptly into effect, the delegates placed two hundred dollars in the hands of the.appointed teachers. It is hoped that the schools will be in a great measure self-supporting. The brethren believe that with eight dollars per scholar a year, they will be able to furnish cheap cotton garments, such as will induce boys and girls to live with them and be instructed. These brethren have houses ample to accommodate twelve or fifteen children each, and food in their valleys is abundant. We therelore have high hopes that these schools will soon be in operation. Should this hope be realized, we feel sure that the benevolent ladies and gentlemen of the Hawaiian Islands will rejoice to contribute in cotton fabrics, clothing, cash, Sec. —enough to clothe these sons !<nd daughters of the Marquesas, and to rescue them from the fearful darkness of heathen cannibalism.

The expedition was bold, and the escape marvellous. Thursday, May 16.—This day opened with the flash and rattle ofmusketry. The whole valley was astir, and the surrounding cliffs and lofty hills echoed with shouts and reverberated with the sound of arms. One discharge followed another from dawn till noon. We were a little startled at first at the thought that war might be at the door,but on inquiry, we were informed that the firing was in honor of Kauakamikihei, a celebrated prophetess, who had recently died. The heathen party had built a house for the goddess twenty-four feet long, twelve wide and fortyeight high. On the top of this house they had placed a target, made of kapa, in the form of a moon. At this target the men were firing, and when one hjp it the valley rang again with their triumphant shouts. This man has rendered himself conspicuous as a spy, a robber and murderer. He once came from Hanavave, the valley always at war with Omoa, professed friendship for tbe Omoans, made friends of Tiiekai and Kaiwi, and lived on theirhospitality. After two months he enticed two boys to go with him to the hills for ohias (native apples.) When out of sight he seized one boy and cut off his head. The other fled and escaped, reporting the tragedy in the village. Omoa was enraged at the perfidious treachery, but Pupe was out of their reach.

The canoe was ornamented with trappings, and rigged with a mast and sprit, and a sail of kapa. With much noisy demonstration it was launched and pushed out through a roaring surf, by naked swimmers, into the open sea. Here the swimmers left it and returned to the shore. The canoe, without pilot, drifted slowly out ai the buy; but the wind not favoring, it struck on the northern headland of the harbor—advancing to therocks and receding by the rush and retreat of the surf like a rani. Seeing the peril, a native ran to the point and shoved off the struggling craft, when it sailed out to sea and disappeared. I had a long talk with Teiiheitofe, a high chief, about the canoe. He said it was a last offering to their god on the death of the sorceress, or prophetess ; and that this sacrifice propitiated the god, expiated their sins and closed the koina, or tabu, which had then lasted six weeks. During this koina, "all servile work and vain recreations are by law (of the pagans) forbidden." At 3, P. M , we bade farewell to our friends and the multitude and returned to the Morning Star, to sail for Hivaoa. Puamau, Sabbath, May 19.—Wearc again at this place, having returned here to land Kekela and family. Brother Parker, the native missionaries and myself came on shore to hold service. More than a hundred people collected under the trees in front of Kekela's house, to whom we preached the "gospel of thekingdom." Many came with spears, war clubs, whaling spades, harpoons, sharksspears, axes, muskets, bayonets fixed on poles, long knives, flint, steel, tobacco pouch, pipes, ice., and during service, little circles of three, five or ten would strike fire, light their pipes, have a delicious smoke, and then listen again to the speaker. Some had the head shaven all over; some in zones and belts—vertical or horizontal. Some on one side, some on the other; some with a tuflfof hair on the crown, some on the forehead, some on the occiput, and some hanging over the right or the left ear. And thus it was with the tattooing. The wildest taste and the most fantastic and capricious figures were displayed upon the face, arms, lower limbs, and over the whole body. This tattooing makes the males look dark and fearful. Children are not tattooed; females butlittle. Consequently they often look like anotherand a milder race of beings. Before service we had long talks with individuals and clusters of natives. Some were attentive nnd solx-r. One old warrior, Meakaiahu, with head closely shaven and heavily tattooed, held quite a debate with me. He said that we should hute our enemies, and kill those who would kill us. When I urged the doctrine and example of Christ, he shook his head and said, What if I love my enemy and he shoot me "t " When I illustrated and urged the reciprocal law of love, how it begets love and vice versa, he felt the truth and began to yield. He then said that he had killed five men, and had a bullet in his own body which entered close to the spinal column, but he would listen tome and fight no more. Immediately he requested me to talk with his chief. In doing this, he took my hand, pressed it, looked up into my �SUPPLEMENT TO THE FRIEND, JULY, 1817. face from under a great leaf which screened his eyes, and said with emphasis, " Kaoha Love to thee." He took me to his M " chief, a tall old man named Moahau, and he watched our conversation with eager interest. The old man was friendly, but witty and skeptical. He brought up quibbles and objections, one of which was that he was too old to attend to the new doctrines. "Let the children," said he, "go with the missionaries ; it is too late for us old folks."

We copy the foregoing paragraph from a private letter to the editor, written by J. Hunnewell, Esq., of Boston, and dated Boston, April 29, 1867. This suggestion strikes us favorably, and we should be glad to see it carried out. We are confident if the project was fairly undertaken, it would be consummated in a style becoming a grateful people. There is a vague idea floating in our mind that some years ago, a subscription for this object was started, and several hundred dollars collected. Will not some one give us information upon this subject, if such a project was undertaken ? Let no one imagine that we entertain visionary and impractical ideas upon this subject. We do not call for thousands and tens of thousands, but a moderate sum of one or two thousand dollars would suffice, if no more could be collected. The idea has been suggested that no more suitable monument could be erected than a drinking fountain, surmounted with a bust of his late Majesty. It has also been suggested that this fountain be located in the triangular open lot near the Stone Church, where King and Punchbowl streets intersect. If any one has a better or more feasible project, let him suggest it. Will not some of our skillful architects visit the spot, and then embody the idea of a fountain, combining the ornamental and useful, the beautiful and the practical ? O all ye lovers of constitutional liberty in this nation, think of this, and then honor the memory of the King who enfranchised his serfs, granted a Constitution to his subjects, and gave a feesimple of the land to the common people. Is not such a King worthy of a monument ? Books, Books.—We cannot say that we read all the advertisements of every newspaper which chances to fall under our inspection, but we do confess a fondness for that species ofliterature. We also confess a fondness for catalogues of books, and of schools and colleges. In late numbers of the Commercial Advertiser, Mr. Whitney has published a list of books which he offers for sale. It occupies a column or more, and in our estimation is as well worthy of perusal as much other matter which finds a place in newspapers. Readers of all tastes and fancies can find some books in that list suited to their minds. As long as we have no'public liurary in Honolulu, we are glad that Mr. Whitney keeps constantly on hand a supply of books, old as well as new. Photographs of Scenery on Kauai.—Mr. Valentine, who has been engaged during the last few months in photographing scenes on the island of Kauai, left in the Murray for San Francisco. Before sailing he disposed of his negatives to Messrs. Crabb and Meek, who are now prepared to furnish sets or single views. Some of these are very fine, and well worthy of the attention of the friends of the beautiful art of photography. 65 .ODl&Serits, M.U. The Millennium. 1. For the Friend.

Revtsitkd, describing the Event of a New Boign, and the Kevulution whioh followed. By the $ev.mW. Ellu, (p. SOi) London John Madaqascak Murray. : This is the title of the new volume written by Mr. Ellis upon Madagascar. In the London Friend for January 1, 1867, we find the following extracts, which we are confident many of our readers will peruse with interest. His previous book on Madagascar was entitled "Three Visits," Sec., during 1853, 1854, 1856. Since that time there has been one terrible persecution, which the reader will find described in the following paragraphs. In that volume the author, after relating his departure from the capital in 1856, remarks in reference to the legal status of Christianity : The laws against the Christian religion are" not repealed, and may, for purposes to us inscrutable, be allowed by the all-wise and all-merciful God to be again enforced." Before this remark was printed, or probably written, a storm of persecution as fierce and sanguinary as any which they had suffered burst upon the Christians. As this storm, though not arising in the first place from political causes, was doubtless intensified by them, we include in our extract the resume of these given in the work : Twelve months before my visit in 1856, M. Lambert, a French trader, or planter, from Mauritius, visited Antananarivo, expressed much sympathy with the Christians, and gave them some relief. He also with M. Laborde, a Frenchman long resident in the country, entered into a kind of agreement with the prince to attempt the change above adverted to [to set aside the queen, and place the prince upon the throne.] In furtherance of this object, M. Lambert had visited France and England, proposing to their respective governments to send out troops to effect this change in the sovereignty of Madagascar. His proposal, however, had been refused, and he had been recommended to seek the improvement of the country by extending commercial intercourse, rather than by attempting a revolution. Early in 1857 M. Lambert returned to Antananarivo, accompanied by Madame Ida Pfieffer, whom he had met at the Cape of Good Hope. They were received in the most friendly manner by the Government, and although the attempt to obtain force from France and England had failed, Messrs. Laborde and Lambert, in association with the prince, and relying on some of the officers and troops said to be favorable to their object, determined to attempt its accomplishment. It was proposed to seize the palace by a sort of coup d'etat, arouse the city by the firing of cannon, proclaim the prince king, and force the queen to retire, retaining her titles, her liberty, and the undisturbed possession of all her property. Before any opportunity occurred for executing this plan, the prince withdrew, and endsavored to persuade the Frenchmen to relinquish the attempt. But they appear to have thought they might still succeed. At length, a month or so after their first movement in this business, the queen having heard of the proceedings of the French, returned all the presents which M. Lambert had brought out, and sent officers with her orders, declaring that in consequence of their treasonable attempts to change the Government, and their having encouraged the Christians, &c., M. Lambert, M. Laborde, and other French gentlemen, the priests, and Madame Pfieffer, were to leave the capital forthwith, under an escort to Tamatave, and were to depart from the country by the first ship. They set out the next morning, but were more than fifty days on the journey, and suffered from fever, which was probably intended to be part of their punishment. More than a month before the sentence of expulsion pronounced against the French, a traitor among the Christians accused a number of them of being Christians, and practicing Christian worship. His name, which he has since changed, was then Katsimandisa. He had been educated by the former missionaries, and had associated with the Christians, though I never heard that he had suffered in any of their persecutions. He wrote out a list of the names of the principal Christians in the capital, and gave it to one of the officers to deliver to the queen. The officer, before delivering the paper to the queen, took it to the prince, who instantly destroyed it. The queen was, nevertheless, soon informed that there were a number of Christians in the capital; and on the 3d of July, 1857, a Kabary was delivered, requiring all who had been guilty of any act of Christian worship to come and accuse themselves, as in such case the punishment might be diminished. Few, if any, did so ; a number fled, and the soldiers and others were sent to scour the country in all directions in search of the Christians, whom they were ordered to seize and bring bound to Antananarivo. All parties testify to the unremitted endeavors of the prince and the commander- in-chief to intercept accusations against the Christians, and prevent the capture of the fugitives. They said that the Christians, if near, fled to the house of the prince,and that when, breathless and palpitating with fear, and ready to sink with exhaustion, they reached his door, he welcomed and encouraged ihem, saying, "Don't be afraid; take courage; God will protect you; conceal yourselves as well as you can ; " and that if he could not give them shelter, he would tell them where they might perhaps find it, endeavoring, if opportunity offered, to send their pursuers in contrary direction that the Christians might escape. A large number, notwithstanding, were apprehended, some in the capital, but the gteaterpart among the villages, at their own residences, or in other places where they had sought concealment. They were charged with being Christians, and with offering Christian prayer. In an affecting account furnished to me by the brother of one of them—an active, intelligent, and enterprising man, in good Worldly circumstances—it is stated, that when the officer found his retreat, a cavern in the side of a rocky mountain not far from his dwelling, and told him he must take him as a prisoner, the Christian said, " What have I done ? I am not a murderer nor a traitor; I wronged no one-" . The officer replied, " No ; it is not for that, but for praying that I must take you." To this the Christian replied, "If that is the impeachment, it is true : I have done that. 1 do not refuse to go with you." Similar charges were preferred against all who were denounced to the Government; and no one, so far as I heard, when so accused, denied the charge. I was not able to learn the exact number arrested, and condemned to different penalties, but they exceeded two hundred, and most of the punishments were extreme. Fourteen were stoned to death at one place, and others afterwards. Fifty-seven were banished in fetters, of whom more than half died. The Tnngena, or poison, was administered to about fifty, of whom eight died. Sixteen among the larger number reduced to slavery were redeemed at high prices; and six devoted leading men among the Christians who were condemned to death, and had effected their escape, remained in concealment until the accession of Hadama, a period of four years and six months. This persecution was the most severe and fatal which had yet fallen on the infant church in Madagascar. Those who were stoned to death suffered at a rocky place called Fiadana, to the west of the south end of the city, and about a mile and a half from the martyrs' precipice,and from Ambohipotsy. When the fourteen were taken in broad noonday to the place of execution, Andriamanantena, the honored Christian leader, whose arrest in the cavern 1 have already mentioned, offered unto God in those last moments, and before the assembled multitude, a brief but solemn prayer, imploring mercy for their queen and their country, and committing their spirits in love and trust to the hands of their Almighty Saviour. The victims were then bound to the stakes, and the crowds who had been summoned to the scene gathered round to witness, or take part in the stoning—the most revolting, barbarous and brutalizing of the modes of taking away life. Most of the sufferers soon obtained relief in death ; but some, after being apparently dead, revived, and were again battered with stones, or mercifully decapitated, the heads being afterwards fixed on poles. My heart sickens even now at the remembrance of the hardening and demoralizing exhibition presented to the people on the sanguinary day of the stoning to death, as related to me by some of my own servants and others who were spectators, though not Christians then. There were, however, among the crowd, some whom affection and sympathy had drawn into fearful proximity with the penalty to which their faith exposed them. These men marked the exact spots where friends and loved ones were bound, battered and fell; and when night and darkness covered the scene, and while hungry dogs held carnival there, they stole in silence, equipped with heavy clubs, or poles, and carrying large matting sacks, to the bloody field, and groped among the slain for the bodies, but especially the heads of their friends. Driving away the dogs from their prey, they put the bodies into the sacks which they had brought, bore them away to the nearest Christian dwelling, and then hastened back to recover more of the mortal remains of those who had that day fallen in love, and trust,and loyally to Christ. �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1867. Most of the sufferers were men above the ordinary class of their countrymen, not in rank, possessions, or authority, but in character, ability and influence. Their wives, with scarcely an exception, were involved in the same condemnation, though their punishment was different. Some were sentenced to drink the Tangena, an ordeal of poison, but the greater number to be loaded with fetters. Sixteen were so bound on the day after the executions at Fiadana. Fifty more, at least, were so punished. • I brought home with me some of the fetters fixed on the bodies of the Christians at this time. The ring round the neck is composed of a rugged piece of iron, six inches in diameter, passed through an aperture at the end of a heavy bar of iron, nearly three feet long. The ring was bent round the neck of the Christians, and fastened by a large rivet. Two other rings, somewhat less ponderous, were fixed in the same way, one on each ankle, the weight of the whole being more than fifty-six pounds. Loaded with these fetters, the Christians were sent away to distant parts of the country where the fever prevailed, in order that the pains of the fever might be added to the torture of their fetters, and that the gradual approach of death might be rendered more physically agonizing to themselves, and more appallingly terrible to others. One party of them went to Ambohibohazo, a hundred miles distant to the east; another party was sent to the north-east to these conditions, have been instantly relieved; but they refused relief at such a price. They suffered on and on, month after month, and year after year, until death brought them deliverance, " enduring as seeing Him who is invisible," and " not accepting deliverance," that they might obtain a better and more glorious resurrection." The Cross, and the Doctrine of the Cross. 67 of St. Paul,."even the death of the cross." And thus the unspeakable condescension of Him who consented to be nailed on it, would have been magnified by the contrast with the vile thing itself. But when its use as a gibbet was abolished, and criminals were executed in some other way, then all its horrors gradually faded from men's memories, and.the hateful thing itself would have been utterly forgotten, and become as completely an unknown thing as any other special custom of Imperial Rome, but for the fact that Jesus of Nazareth had suffered on it. This rescued it from oblivion. And thus, losing its original associations of horror and degradation, it became associated with the memory of Him, and the affection fell for Him,and the veneration paid to Him, until the original distinction between the cross and the doctrine of the cross was lost sight of j and the instrument itself, instead of being as at first contrasted in its ignominy with the condescending love of Christ who died upon it, was magnified in remembrance of Him ; and in process of time, and through the idolatrous cravings of human nature, the figure of it was reproduced, of all sizes, and of all materials, and set up as an object of The following extract from a sermon of Dr. M'Neile, shows the distinction between the cross and the doctrine of the cross with great force and clearness. Speaking on John xix. 25-27, Canon M'Neile said : In holy Scripture the cross is used literally and metaphorically. Literally, it means the instrument for capital punishment used by the Romans. Metaphorically, it means the doctrine of atonement for sin, made by the death upon it of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Literally, it signifies the most ignominious of gibbets. Metaphorically, it signifies the most glorious of truths. It is" no wonder that some confusion should have arisen from the use of the same word in such very different meanings.

AUGUST ND, 1867. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Imne tke Caae-Fltlds tad Groves at Hakiwia. Change is agreeable when a passage of thirty-six hours transfers a person from the heated atmosphere of Honolulu to the cool and bracing region of Makawao. Virgil near two thousand years ago noticed this fact among sailors, that the enjoyment of rest after a voyage very soon led them to forget all the hardships and dangers which they had experienced at sea. Landsmen resemble the sailor in this respect. How very soon a person forgets sea-sickness and other discomforts. As we left the wharf at Honolulu, friends wished us a pleasant trip, and just at that moment we saw a beautiful rainbow spanning Nuuanu Valley. "A good omen," we exclaimed. On our arrival at Kahului, just after sunrise on the morning of the 19th, we espied a beautiful rainbow spanning the Wailuku Valley. Good omens appeared to attend our voyage. Thanks to Capt. Wetherby, of the Ka Moi, for his kind attentions. Not two days elapsed after leaving Honolulu ere we were snugly domiciled at Grove Ranch, where the cool breezes from Haleakala came sweeping along and inspiring life, vigor and health. Most appropriately has this spot been styled Grove Ranch. The groves in this vicinity are beautiful. Some of these groves of kukui and koa are old and venerable, while several young groves of the Pride of India ornament the ranch and the adjoining plantations. The poet Bryant says: " The groves were God's first temples." Surely a beautiful grove is no unfit spot wherein to worship God. While wandering among them, the mind is impressed with the truthfulness of Bryant's address to the God of nature: " r»tl.cr, thy hand Hath rear'd these venerable oolurans; thou down roof t thuu didst look this verdant Didst weare Upon the naked'earth, and forthwith rose They, in thy sun, trees. ranks of All these fair Budded, and shook their green leaves lv thy breeie. And shot towards heaven." Some one has said, that person is a benefactor who makes one blade of grass to grow where none grew before. If so, does not the person planting and rearing a tree much more deserve to be styled a benefactor ? It is gratifying to witness the marked change produced in Honolulu during the last few years. The city has become a grove, and we hope m% ere long merit being styled a forest, which is the enlargement of a grove. We hone the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural Society will aid in carrying out this idea. Let a nursery of trees be started, and furnished gratis to all who will adorn the streets, or even their own premises, with fruit or shade trees. We find our thoughts wandering back to Honolulu. Why should they not ? Habit is everything. In Honolulu we have spent nearly a quarter of a century, freely mingling with all classes of its permanent and roving population. Under the kind Providence of God we have there enjoyed as much of earthly happiness as usually falls to the lot of mortals. We have witnessed the growth of one generation. Many of those whom we have known as children, it has been our privilege to see coining forward and occupying, honorable positions in life, at the Islands and elsewhere. The very evening before embarking for Maui, it was our privilege to officiate at a scene similar to that which our Saviour honored by his presence at Cana of Galilee. As a friend of man, of society, of State, of Church, and of all that is lovely and of good report, we cannot view with indifference the addition of another family to the sacred fraternity of matrimony. 0 friendly to the beat pursuit* of man— anil to peace, to thought, to *Friendly Domestic life.*' virtue between Molokai and Maui, he was so effectually deceived by the low land between East and West Maui, that he ran his ship square on the shore, and she became a total wreck. We cannot say just how long ago this took place, but it must have been over thirty years since. At the time of the wreck, Mr. Titcomb, of Kauai, Mr. Thompson (late of Maui, and father of Henry Thompson, Esq., of Honolulu), and Capt. Chadwick, if we are not mistaken, were attached to the ship. In this as in sejreral other instances, the foreign population on these Islands has been recruited with some enterprising citizens from the crews of wrecked vessels. Last Sabbath morning it was our privilege to assemble with the church-going people of Makawao, who gathered at the neat and commodious foreign church for public worship. The Rev. J. S. Green preached an excellent sermon upon the subject of prayer. The singing was conducted by the daughter of the " Pastor of Makawao." It was a delightful privilege to be a hearer in this quiet country church far from the bustle of the city. Every day since our arrival in this region we have been mounted on horseback, and galloped over the hills and through the valleys of this most delightful spot. The exercise is most refreshing and invigorating. We have in prospect a trip to the summit of Haleakala, and other excursions, which will fully occupy the few brief days which are allotted to our summer vacation " among the canefields and groves of Makawao." So wrote Cowper, and so says every wellwisher to the human race. "Ah! but you did not drink wine on that occasion," interposes Mr. Carper. " No," is our reply. " So you think yourself better, I suppose, than our Saviour, who was present at the marriage in Cana of Galilee." " By no means ; we think no such thing. Without exactly undertaking to argue the question with you, Mr. Carper, we have only to say that on the present occasion they had ' no wine ; ' and how could we drink ?

Bulletin. �THE ¥XIX N D, AUGUST, Longfellow. We have come to a large square wooden house, with nothing especially attractive about it. It stands back from the street, its front in full view, looking over Charles River. Near it, at the sides, a few trees and bushes relieve the open space. This is the house known as Washington's Headquarters; and here for many years has lived Henry Longfellow, the sweetest and most romantic of American poets. The house seems full of him. The spacious rooms are furnished with unostentatious luxury; elegant literature is freely strewn about; pictures, engravings, and miscellaneous works of art. adorn the walls and grace the mantels. The library, on the second floor front, expresses the occupant. It is a large sunny room, filled with books in all languages, that seem to have fallen into their places at the bidding of the muse. Here sits the poet. Mr. Longfellow was always a poet to look at—in form, feature and expression a poet. Lawrence's portrait, engraved for the small blue-and-gold edition of the poetical works, gives an admirable idea of his head and countenance in its finest mood—though not in its domestic aspect. Since the fearful death of his wife the outward man of the poet has altered much. The step is less buoyant than it was, the bearing less joyous, the look less elate. The florid man has matured into an exceeding mellowness of dignity. Ripe and rich-looking he always was—exquisitely neat in dress and exquisitely elegant in person—though always animated by a sentiment that saved him from the suspicion of foppery. But he has attained a wonderful completeness of expression. His aspect is that of a bard in the full affluence of his years and the full wealth of his genius. His silvered hair is long and wavy. His beard grows white and thick beneath his chin, looking more like a deep lace ruff than anything else. His voice is melodious as an organ; and his features, handsome as ever, have been touched with new lines by the action of thought and sorrow. His manners are very beautiful to all persons; and he carries about him that indescribable atmosphere that marks the perfectly cultured gentleman. Longfellow has just finished his work of many years—his translation of Dante. No finer version from one language into another has ever been done. Not satisfied with all that his own admirable scholarship, wonderful wealth of diction and perfect taste in rhythm could achieve, he has called in his friends to pass judgment.on his work. Each Wednesday evening through the winter a choice company of scholars and critics have met in the poet's library to hear the divine stanzas read, and to weigh the words as they fell from thepoet's lips. There were Holmes, and Fields, and Lowell, and Norton, and Furness, the artist lately deceased, and such others as the hour might bring. Lowell held the Italian copy, Norton the English translation, Furness a translation in German, and, as the new translator read his passages and paused for criticism or remark, the listeners gave the benefit of their suggestions. Manners may exist without morals, but morals should never be without manners. 18*7. Russia. —The following extract is from a St. Petersburg letter in the Independence one of the Emperor's Beige: " Count L aides-de-camp, was summoned a month ago before a Judge, on the complaint of a tradesman, to whom he neglected to pay a small account. The Count at first refused to appear, but at the third summons, being warned that he risked beingcondemned by default to an imprisonment of two months, he attended before the magistrate and paid the money, saying, He preferred to pay without discussion rather than have anything to do with a tribunal of clodhoppers (in Russian, Kholopkoy Soude).' The Judge arrested him, and sentenced him to a week's imprisonment for contempt of Court.. The Count applied to the Emperor in order to escape this sentence, but his Majesty replied that all he could do for him was to intercede with the Judge lo change the sentence to six weeks' confinement in his own house, which was done, and the Count is now undergoing it. The second affair happened at Moscow. A rich widow, Madame Mazourine, well known from her ostentatious piety, and for the large sums which she spent in building churches and convents, took it into her head to refuse payment of a small debt, and the matter going before the tribunal, an order was ultimately issued to seize her furniture. The police arrived to carry out the sentence, when they found the door fast, and in spite of their .summons in the name of the law it remained unopened. They then attempted"to scale the wall, when the mistress of the house ordered a number of savage dogs to be let loose. Seeing this, the police retired, and Madame Mazourine was summoned to appear before the magistrate, and has been condemned to , ' two months' imprisonment." . 69 By the arrival of the steamship Colorado at San Francisco, from Japan, news of the loss of the whaleship Canton Packet, Captain Fraaer, was received. The wreck occurred on the night of 3d of April. Five seamen, including four llawaiians, were drowned. The following particulars are from the Atta: Loss or the ''Canton Pacikt. '—We have obtained from Capt. Fraser, late in command of the American whaling ship Canton Packet, in tons, the following particulars of her lose: She left Honolulu January 4th, 1867 ; went south as far as the line, whore she took fifty barrels of sperm oil. On the night of the 3d. nearing the island, on her way to Hakodadi, during a heavy northeast gale and snow, in latitude 41 N.. and longitude 141 X., went on shore. The ship became a total wreck, with the loss of five of the crew. The rest, thirtytwo in all, remained on the island for ten days. The Japanese refused to allow tbem to move until the arrival of Mr. Rice, the American Conßul at Hakodadi, who arrived on the Rcenc of the disaster with great difficulty. Through this gentleman's exertions the natives furnished the Captain and his crew with horses and guides. They arrived at Hakodadi perfectly destitute and about naked ; but thanks to the kindness of the foreign residents of Hakodadi, they were well taken care of. Capt. Frasor left Hakodadi as soon as possible, and arrived here last night en the Colorado. The crew are still ut Hakodadi awaiting transportation to Baa Francisco. The vessel belonged to J. H. Bartlclt & Son, of New Bedford, Mass. Of the five sailors that were lost one was James Fairbanks, ot Baltimore, the other four were Hawaiians. - Cook's Monument.—The monument to Captain Cook, which it was proposed to erect at Kaawaloa, wasfinished week before lost. Themagonreturned by the Kilauea on Saturday. The monument is erected as near as possible on the spot where the great navigator met his death, and is built of the lava rock which abounds in the neighborhood, laid up in cement. It is sixteen feet high, and at the base measures eighteen by thirty-six inches, running up to a peak in the form known as the Gambrel or Mansard roof. We understand that plates, with suitable inscriptions for the four sides of the monument, have been ordered from abroad, and when these arrive and are placed in position, we shall probably be enabled to give a more particular description of the Exposition. structure.—idv. An American Triumph at the Paris —A Paris letter in the Boston Journal, dated April 23d, says: The jury on locomotives came to a decision yesterday on the merits of the different machines. The competition is great. England has a large number. France at least a dozen. Austria and Russia have three or four each. The Austrian and French members of the jury took exception to the"America" because it was so light in some of its parts, and also to the amount of polish to the iron work, which they thought was more for show than utility. They claimed that the lightness of some of the machinery was a sacrifice of strength to beauty. But fortunately the English member of the jury is well informed on locomotive engines, and he explained that the railroads in America are of an entirely different construction from European roads; that the country is new, and the roads cheaply built, and the ties subject to displacement from frost; that to ride over rough roads there must be elasticity in the machinery; that American engineers had difficulties to contend with wholly unknown to Europeans; that, taking all things into consideration, the American locomotive was superior to any other in the exhibition. His arguments were so convincing that the other jurors gave way and awarded a gold medal to the"America." This is a great triumph, and it has been achieved through the intelligence and honesty of the English juror. Valuable Portfolio, in Two Volumes.— Count Bismarck recently presented a faithful but poor secretary with a portfolio bound like a book, in which were deposited five thousand thalers. On meeting his secretary next day, the count asked him if he harJl perused the volume. " Yes, your highness," said the secretary, " and I am so captivated by its contents that I am waiting theappearance of the second volume with feelings of the greatest interest." The count smiled, but said nothing. A few days afterward the secretary received a second portfolio, bound and filled like the first, and on the title-page of which was the sentence " This work is complete in two volumes." : The Boston Traveler says the United States engineers are astonished at the result of petroleum burning on the steamer Polos. It is deemed an event of such importance that •it was to be telegraphed to Europe to-dair. The Traveler says ten years from to-day *> coal will be burned in any vessel in use in the world. One hogshead of petroleum will generate as much steam as twenty times the bulk in coals. It will prove of the greatest importance to the Pacific Mail steamers on the China line.

Bat Nature proudly owns him as her child of sterling worth." Elixa Cook. ' • There is an air of romance about the life and calling of the sailor—an atmosphere of poetry, which seems to invest the very name with a charm. You have but to mention the word, and troops ofmemories, hosts of associations, marshal themselves before the mind. Toilsome explorations in unknown seas, marvelous discoveries of peoples strange, deeds of noble daring and of hopeless suffering, of shipwreck, and storm and strife ; of hunger and thirst, and nakedness and cold; the foundering craft, the white squall, and the iron-bound lee shore—all press forward for recognition, and all give evidence that the sailor is no mere myth, nor his life all poetry and romance, but one of stern reality—a life of sore vicissitudes and garnished o'er with pain. Yet these very vicissitudes are associated with traits of character that seem to be born of the very circumstances of his wild and roving life. All that is noble, generous, brave and free, has been considered as embodied in his calling. In every land he is spoken of as the jolly tar ; his very excesses are esteemed only as foibles, and his reckless disregard of himself attributed to his generous nature. His devotion to duty, his contempt of danger, his self-sacrificing spirit; his bravery and patriotism in war; his energy and enterprise in times of peace—these have elevated him to an exalted place in the esteem of all people who are capable of ap- preciating his sterling worth. His rollicking good nature and love of fun, his sensitiveness to praise or blame, his open-handed benevolence, and the tenderness of heart that brings the tear to his eye when the tale of suffering is told—all these have served to invest his character with a charm of attractiveness as clearly defined as the halo of glory with which art has adorned the head of pictured saint and Madonna. The sailor is sui generis, a class by himself._ His dress is peculiar. His trim blue jacket and wide flowing pants, and his low shoest, nis tarpaulin hat and loose 'kerchief, exposing the bronzed neck and breast—all fitting so neatly and setting so gracefully on his well-formed person, as to suggest, together with his rolling gait, the unrestrained freedom with which he moves upon his own chosen element, just as nis horny hand and sun-browned visage denote his toil and exposure in foreign climes. His characteristic peculiarities are believed to be the result of his mode of life. Yet is it true that the germ of these traits of character must exist in the boy before they are developed in the man. There are well-authenticated instances of boys going to sea, who were parsimonious and selfish, and ungenerous, who, nevertheless, lost these qualities on being associated with the sea and the ship. The philosophy of this change is not easily discerned. Men have different theories on this subject. One thing is certain—it is not the lazy and listless, the nerveless and the stupid, but the earnest, active and energetic boy that runs away to go to sea. The character of such a boy must be developed by association with 1867. the works of nature in her grandest and in her wildest forms. As men who grow up in mountainous regions become free and brave and liberty-loving, like the Swiss, so these men, by holding converse with nature where she displays her works in all the majesty and beauty of her sublimest proportions, cannot but be affected thereby. Would the reader test this '( Let him go forth with the sailor on his own element. Stand beside him when the topsails and topgallantsails are mast-headed, when the royals are sheeted home, and her white wings are spread to the breeze, and the good ship gathering way runs out into the offing, till the receding'shore astern sinks beneath the hori- zon with the setting sun. Pace with him the deck in his midnight watch. Look up at the concave of boundless blue studded with twinkling stars. Behold the moon, as she mounts the heavens, walking in her brightness, flinging her silvery sheen on the dark blue wave, and paving old ocean with a causeway of light. Now look out on every side, on the limitless expanse; let the eye penetrate to ocean's farthest verge—to that below—descend with him into that dark, damp and cheerless forecastle, where no fire gives out its reviving warmth, and where bed and berth, and chest, with their contents, are alike saturated, and as wet and comfortless as the clothes he has on. What comfort can a man have in such circumstances ? Does not his lot demand, and should he not secure our sincere sympathy ? And what is his condition ashore ? Alas ! his boarding-house is, in many instances, as destitute of comfort as the forecastle he left. And here he becomes too often the victim of the harpies who seek his destruction. He is drugged or poisoned with bad liquor—then Shanghaed. or taken insensible on board another vessel, where some merciless tyrant, perhaps, may force him through the same round of abuse and exposure, and toil, and watching, and vicissitude. Do you wonder that the sailor is reckless ? Is it not a still greater wonder that he does not oftener appear as a criminal before our police courts ? The property entrusted to his care, the interests committed to him, the trusts reposed in him, are all protected and preserved with a generous firmness and an unswerving integline, " Visual Where air and ocean seem to join " rity. Notwithstanding his many temptations until that horizon becomes to you the cir- and his sore abuse, is not this an evidence of cumference of an ever-moving circle, of which his nobleness, his trustworthiness, and his you are the everlasting centre.

But confine not yourself of obligation, we should endeavor, in some to the mere romance, the poetry of his life ; measure, to acknowledge our indebtedness, share with him his perils, participate in his and to repay them—even if with nothing more substantial—at least with our sincere dangers and discomforts.

To realize his vicissitudes fully, you must endure with him wet and cold, sleepless nights, and toilsome days. Lay out with him, in the midst of storm and darkness, on the topsail yard, and share with him in his vain endeavors to gather in the struggling canvas, as it flaps and snaps with the fury of the hurricane, and tears itself from his grasp, while the blinding snow and sleet is beating with merciless fury in his face, and his hands are freezing to the stiffened leach. Then come down with him, when wet to the skin, his strength exhausted, and his blood almost congealed in his veins—comedown, I say, to the deck and hear the brutal curse with which his exertions are rewarded—and witness the dastard blow from the contemptible, cowardly thing that walks the quarter-deck—in the place of a skillful and manly officer—and who vents his ungovernable passion on the man whose noble efforts to accomplish his task an honorable man would respect. And now, when the duties and dangers of the yard and deck,and the insults of his unofficerlike superior are endured, and he turns to go forecastle. A Remarkable Fish.—In a recent lecture by Prof. Agassiz on the aquatic animals of the Amazon, he described one fish, of which he said : " This fish is remarkable for the faculty it enjoys of leaving the water and walking a considerable distance over the Innd. Sometimes it is found three, four and five miles from the water, and specimens have been brought to me which I have left on the ground for a day, and afterwards, when put back into water, they were as lively as if they had not been disturbed. That fish has another peculiarity ; it builds a nest—a large nest, about the size of a man's hat, with a hole leading to the interior, in which it deposits its eggs ; and it is not only capable of creeping on even land, but it can creep on an inclined plane, and I have been told by very trustworthy persons that they are frequently found many feet above the water, on stumps of trees which have fallen down, the trunks of which are so inclined that the fish has reached the branches of the tree, to such a height that the bird and the fish have more than once been brought down by the same shot." There is no justice in sin, and no sin in justice. �Till: FRIEND, ADVERTISEMENTS. ADVERTISEMENTS. PLACES OF WORSHIP. BEAMKN'S HETIIKL—Kev. S. C. Damon Chaplain—King street, near the Sailors' Home.

The Annmil llrelm;:, June, 1867. It was a joyful season of old, when the tribes of Israel gathered at their annual festivals. The cordial greetings of old friends; the week of united prayer and praise ; the reciting to each other their mutual experience of the goodness and mercy of their covenant God during their absence, and their joint feasts at the altar of their God, all tended to nurture and mature their mutual love and love of country, so that the leader of secession at the death of Solomon would no otherwise dissolve the union than by abolishing the annual feasts. The two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, who alone continued to keep up the annual meetings, have been so knit together, that the storm of wrath which has for eighteen centuries beat upon them, has not sufficed to dissolve their union. To this day, whether amid the burning sands of Africa or the ice of Siberia—whether under the iron rule of despotism or amid the sons of freedom, the Jews are one, and their aspirations still arise that Jerusalem may again become the praise and the glory of the whole earth. Such a joyful season we have again experienced, sitting together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus ; and after hearing the reports from all the stations, we may well unite in thanksgiving and praise. Our meeting has been unusually full. Nearly all the members of our Association have attended, only two of our foreign members being absent. Our venerable patriarch, father Thurston, has not been able to meet with us. Having fought the good fight and kept the faith, he patiently awaits the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give at his appearing. Mr. Lyons, too, is not able to be with us ; yet he, " thoughof faint, is still pursuing." One "our fellow laborers, Rev. John S. Emerson, after having spent thirty-six years of his life in the missionary work, has been HONOLULU, AUGUST I, 1867. called to enter into the joy of his Lord. Let us who remain, remembering the loving kindness of our God in years past, and cheered by nis promise that he will be with us alway, gird up our loins and prosecute our work with fresh vigor and hope. While many of the great nations of the earth have suffered the horrors of war. pestilence and famine, we have enjoyed profound peace, and no general sickness has prevailed; and although there has been an umusual scarcity of food, yet few have suffered seriously from the scarcity except in the town of Honolulu, where during a prevailing epidemic, numbers who were unable to procure sufficient food were unable to grapple with the disease, and fell before it. This scarcity of provisions did not arise from the want of fruitful seasons, but rather from the great abundance of food a little more than a year ago. The small price obtained by those engaged in its cultivation, and the bright prospects of those engaged in the culture of sugar-cane, induced many (o turn their lois into cane-fields, and hence the scarcity that has afflicted the country. A reaction has taken place. The people have been, however, stimulated to great activity in planting, and the rains have been so propitious, that we may reasonably anticipate a season of plenty the coming year. The results of our deliberations on the great subjects we have considered are so fully set forth in the various reports which we have adopted, that we need not here recount them again. Many things have conspired to render our meeting intensely interesting. The arrival of the Morning Star, the examination of the pupils of Oahu College, the Sabbath-school celebration, and the annual sermons on home and foreign missions, have made us feel that it was good to be here, and to desire that our stay might be prolonged on this holy mount. Nor'should we omit to mention our appreciation of the words of cheer addressed to us by Capt. W. Reynolds, of the United States steamship Lackawanna. .(fMStrus, M.21 ducted by the superintendents and teachers. The children are kept waiting at the school house through the tardiness of the teacher; school hours also are short, and the children not properly instructed. Moreover, the schools are not examined often, that the parents, children and teachers may be encouraged in this great work by which the race is blessed. In consequence of this state of things, the children have become careless, while in some places the parents despise the Government day-schools, longing for schools where their children will be properly educated and instructed in the truth, as religious liberty is suppressed in the Government schools. It is encouraging to see parents striving to obtain proper teachers to instruct their children according to their own views; for knowledge and christian sentiments have sprung up and expanded themselves in the hearts of this people. Those who have planted the seeds of Evangelical religion among these Islands, are examples to be had in everlasting remembrance. We have the hope that this good work will increase, and_become a witness of the inefficiency of the Government day-schools, and of the hold which true religion has upon this people.

We would suggest that a column be added to our annual statistical table, showing the average contribution of each churchmember in each church. The moneys reported by the Hawaiian Missionary Society from 1863 to 1863, together with the receipts of our Board since then, make a total of about $61,000; and this very nearly shows what has been given by our churches for their foreign missions in Micronesia and Marquesas within the last fifteen years since the commencement of our foreign missionary work. About $38,000 of this has been expended on the Marquesas Mission, and about $23,000 on Micronesia, including three or four thousand for incidental expenses. The sum of all moneys reported during the last fifteen years as contributed for religious objects, makes a total of $314,048, and doubtless there are many items never reported, and which it is indeed impossible to report. The year ending May, 1559, reported $26,069, and the total for 1866 was $25,250, which are the two largest annual amounts since the establishment of the Mission. It is very encouraging that the contributions of the churches are, as a whole, kept so nearly at the same figure yearly, notwithstanding the decrease of population, thus indicating a relative increase of benevolence ; and we would call attention to the fact that our Hawaiian churches and our Hawaiian work are now very nearly self-supporting. There are now twenty-seven ordained native pastors, besides ten or more licensed preachers, all of whom are supported from home resources, and by far the greater part of them without any assistance from the general treasury. All the building of churches, and their repair from end to end of the land, is, as it has ever been, accomplished by the churches themselves. The Mission to the Marquesas Islands has from its beginning in 1853, been entirely sustained by the Hawaiian churches, including even the expense of holding communication with it by the Morning Star or otherwise. The Hawaiian missionaries in Micronesia have now for three years been entirely sustained by the Hawaiiati Board—not, however, including the expenses of the Morning Star, they being borne to and from Micronesia yearly by grants, averaging perhaps $4,000 yearly, from the American Board, as that Mission was commenced by them, and as they have still several missionaries there, though now under our care. In the matter of publications, we have for ■several years received from the American Board $2,000 ; but this by no means covers all our expenditures in the book department, which are largely met from our incidental fund, and by the sale of publications. The whole educational system of these Islands is, and has for many years been selfsustaining, with but a slight exception or two. The common schools are sustained by the Government, as is also the Seminary at Lahainaluna. The various English day and boarding-schools in sympathy with our work throughout the land, are sustained by private enterprise and the assistance of the Government. The Waialua Female Seminary alone of the institutions in the interest of Evangel- 75 ical religion on these Islands, is directly sus- they entered the schpol, and two have been tained from abroad by grants to us from the married since.

Besides this, no less than 50,000 purely Hawaiian New Testaments, in three different editions, have been put into circulation, and 5,000 Hawaiian-English New Testaments—not including large quantities of separate portions of the Bible. Nothing further is necessary to indicate the character of the Christianity introduced here by the American missionaries. FOBEIGK DEPARTMENT.

The Morning Star left Key. D. Kapali and wife on Jaluit November 6th, 1865. By the 30th of December his house was completed. He speaks of having lived under great disadvantages —many of his goods being, in the haste of removal, left at Namarik. The island of Jaluit is much less fruitful than Ebon and Namarik, and is a meeting place for the fleets of canoes of the two chains of the Radack and Ralik Islands, and is desolated by them. Kapali says he has no regular meals from want of food, and that there are few days they are not faint for want of food. Sabliath services have been sustained regularly and Sabbath-school. He has thirty pupils, nineteen of whom have learned to read. On the Ist of April he admitted one woman to the church who had been under his instruction at Fibon. Mr. Snow speaks of the Ralik Island chiefs as passing rapidly away, and of not one of them all is there any reasonable ground to hope that he has been savingly changed. But on the other hand he says: " Of the goodly number of church-members who went north last season with the chiefs, all returned well reported of, both among themselves and by their chiefs. This was an occasion of great joy and thankfulness with us. It was beyond my hopes, far beyond my fears. Two of them went with a part of the fleet to Arno (of the Radack Chain.) They were there one Sabbath, and had religious exercises with the natives. They had such a crowd to hear them, that the more remote ones were unable to hear their voices.

Randall befriended the missionaries in this as in all their previous necessities, and arranged that they might remain with perfect safety, their families were so alarmed, they accepted Capt. Ziegenhirst's offer and went with him to Ebon, leaving all their effects. By an opportunity which presented soon after our learning these events, Capt. Randall was requested to assure the chiefs of Butaritari that we had no intention of abandoning their island, and the missionary property was put under his care. The next trip of the Morning Star will clear up all the clouds, and will doubtless enable us once more to enter this interesting island. At Aimiano and Tarawa no marked progress has yet been made. It is yet seed time. One of those admitted to the church at Apaiang continues consistent and humble. Kapu reports that on Apaiung, supposed to number about three thousand five hundred inhabitants, there had, during the year, been fiftythree deaths to one hundred and forty-two births. Aumai asks permission to return for a visit on account of his health. It would seem that our missionaries are still much troubled by the thievishness of the people. A call for missionaries is spoken of as having come from Nui, of Ellice's Group. 77 California. We have requested the Rev. E. T. Taylor, of California, to act for us in visiting the Hawaiians scattered through California and Oregon, as he may be able, while on his home missionary tours, and have offered to defray any moderate expenses to which he may be subjected in such efforts for the wanderers from Hawaii. On the 23d of May just passed, we assisted John Wind, a Sacramento Indian, in returning to his native land. He came to these Islands in 1850, while only six or seven years olcK in the care of a whita man sometime since deceased. He learned the Hawaiian language, went to the common schools in Kona, Hawaii, and finally joined the church under Rev. J. D. Paris, who has had a watching eye upon him for several years. At his own earnest solicitations, he was sent for three years to the Hilo Boarding-school, and has since then for a time been attending Rev. W. P. Alexander's Theological School at Wniluku. His great desire he says is, to return to tell his kindred of Christ. We have also hopes that he may be of use among the Hawaiians in California. We have given him letters of introduction to christian friends there, and have requested Mr. Taylor to make for him in our behalf whntever small expenditures he may think well to assist him in supporting himself.

The Mission station at Butakitari was taken on the 19th of August, 1865, under very favorable auspices, by Kanoa and Maka. On the 20th of the same month they commenced regular Sabbath services, which they continued till they left. They commenced teaching on the 16thof October, though the number of pupils is not reported. They were much tafriended by a brother of the King, anil by many of the chiefs, and were soon abk lo live in a house of their own.

We are accordingly glad to learn that his traveling expenses have just been ordered by the Board to be refunded to him, and to be supplied in future. That feature in the report which forces itself more than any other upon our attention, is the large balance of more than $7,000, or more than one-third of the whole sum of receipts or expenditures, which has lain idle in the treasury from the beginning to the end of the year. Although the expenditures have kept pace with the new receipts, the sum of $7,039 32 now remains unexpended in the treasury, of which $1,816 48 belong to the department of foreign missions, while no less than $3,387 52 belong to the general or incidental fund. These two items amount to $5,204. A similar state of the treasury existed at the commencement of the year, and had existed for a year previous, so that it may be regarded as a chronic plethora. This does not appear to your Committee to be a desirable condition of the treasury, since the Lord's funds are entrusted to us to be diligently employed in His service, and not to lie unused. We would not imply that your Board have been deficient in zeal or diligence. On the contrary, there is every evidence of their care, economy, prudence and enterprise in the administration of these funds. It still would seem that your Board have failed to find a satisfactory way of expending all the funds in their charge. But may this not be a ground for suspecting that some modification of general policy is needed, and that an extension of operations should be sought for in a different direction ? If it be said that the large surplus for foreign missions exists because more men have been sought for the foreign field, but cannot be found, may not the truth be that your Board are seeking too much extension of their work in foreign missions, and too little in the home work ? We respectfully suggest that earnest and prayerful inquiry should be made, whether there are not important departments of missionary work in our home field which are languishing and struggling for want of succor; whether some of these operations are not of vital importance to the prosperity and growth of our churches, and to the continued life of the nation, which is to maintain the foreign missionary work, as well as directly necessary to train and prepare laborers for the Lord's vineyard ; and lastly, whether the Lord of the whole vineyard, both of the planted and the implanted portions, has not given some plain indications of peculiar favor towards particular operations in His field, pointing those out as the proper objects for our especial care ? Should we seek an answer to this last inquiry, towards what branch of our operations has the Lord manifested the most signal regard of late, where should we turn but to the very precious and prosperous female boarding-school supported by our Board, and to the one at Makawao whose Principal receives some personal aid from our Board. In both those schools we have been startled nnd rejoiced by seeing a great and pervading work 79 voluntary practice of the Missionaries has been discountenanced. In places whore there are no educated physicians, there has arisen a class of native doctors, who, with a license signed by have undertaken to save the nation. " Kapu," These persons are mostly old men and old women, who have very little education and no knowledge of medicine whatever. Ignorant of the plainest rules of diet and regimen, they arc not even proper nurses of the sick; but depend upon luck and chance, large promises of cure, and their influence with the old heathen gods, whose worship they have in a certain degree to a deplorable extent," revived for the purpose of obtaining an influence over thoir victim. These doctors and doctorosaes finding their practice profitable are now everywhere found proclaiming their own skill, interfering with and opposing the practice of foreign physicians and disseminating false and idolatrous principles among the people. They kill numbers of the King's subjects. Some are killed by neglect, disease is left to its course, while the doctor iThetrusting is to luck and feasting on the hogs, the white cocks, the poi, the awa, which he requires as a condition of cure. Meanwhile he is going on with his incantations. Some sick are killed by a more summary process, by the administration of remedies, such as croton oil and castor oil beanß, a coarse kind of jalap, a spooios of colocynth, tartar emetic, calomel, gunpowder, Ac., without any rules to guide the doctor, other than male education should be presented by the his uneducated judgment/ members of the Association to their churches Itown being admitted that there is a pressing neas among the prominent objects for their ben- cessity for educating a sufficient number ofnative efactions. pupils to meet the wunts of the people and to Your Committee believe that some such check the serious and rapidly growing evil above enlargement of home operations as this, is stated, the question arises how and Tby whom it essential to developing the liberality of the is to be done.

No where else has God made your benefactions and the labors of our brethren so fruitful as in your female boarding-schools. May not this be the hand of the Lord beckoning you on to extend and enlarge your work in that direction? Is there not also a manifest need for more provision for special education for the youth of the stronger sex, and for that peculiar and fruitful labor upon them which begins in the family school and in early childhood ? Were it in the province ot your Committee to make recommendations of specific action in expending the surplus funds of the Board, we would respectfully suggest first, that the Makawao Female Seminary be established on a substantial basis by the purchase of the house and lands, and the payment of the salary of an assistant teacher; secondly, that the Female Boarding-school at Kawaiahao be liberally supplied with needed buildings and furniture ; and thirdly, that active measures be taken for the establishment of a female boarding-school on Hawaii. We would also recommend that the cause of fe- " constant supervision. Adopted by the Haw. Evangelical Association, In tho opinion of your Committee, the Queen's June, 1867. Hospital affords the greatest facilities for the The Committee appointed to report upon the subject of training some of the natives to the medical profession, beg leave to report, That in our opinion the subject is of the greatest importance. It has been too long delayed for the want of any practical plan by which it could be accomplished. In the opinion of your Committee, there is and has been a greater need of native doctors than of native lawyers. The Missionaries have educated thenative pastors, with what success their presence in this assembly testifies. The native lawyers have educated themselves. By having the laws printed to his hand any active educated native could read for himself and in some degree qualify himself to plead on behalf of hut neighbor before the Courts, but the medical profession, has been like a sealed book, or has had no book at all, which is the same thing. Sickness, pain and death are our common lot, but it is not in human nature to suffer without some effort to obtain relief. There was a time when a large proportion of the population applied to the Missionaries for medical aid. The funds of the American Board were largely drawn upon for medicines, and the Missionaries devoted a great deal of time in attendance on the sick, with such skill as they possessed and with great benefit to the people. Subsequently the Hawaiian Government undertook to furnish the Missionaries with medicines for the siok; of late years this source of relief has dried up, and even the _ kina of instruction required, much of which would be in the form of clinical lectures which the pupils should commit to writing. If the trustees of that institution could be induced to undertake the work, there are medical men who might afford valuable aid in preparing simple books and treatises in theHawaiian, which the Board of Education might be willing to have printed for the use of the pupils. Private persons—members of the medical profession—may, perhaps, be found who would take one or two pupils, but the difficulties and expense would oe so great, and the probability of perseverance on the part of the pupils themselves would he so small, that not much can be expected from this souroe. It is desirable, in an enterprise of this nature, that the system should be uniform and persevered in for a term of years, by additions to the stock of Hawaiian medical knowledge and literature, which would be required by thepupils after entering upon thejr practice. There are some persons whose opinions are deserving of the highest consideration,, who would decidedly object to the Licensing of medical pupils who have not had the advantage of an education in the English language, and a course or two of medical lectures in a foreign country, but your Committee are of opinion that however well these may be educated, they would be in the minds of the native population upon a par with foreign physicians, and subject to the same prejudice and opposition from the present native �80 SUPPLEMENT ill THE FRIEND, AUGUST, of great hope, notwithstanding all the gloom in the reports of the last year.

The deep rooted sentiment that foreign doctors can cure foreign diseases but native doctors only can cure native diseases, would be applicable to them.. They would also seek for a residence in the towns and populous places as competitors of foreign physicians for the sake of a higher remuneration, which their expensive habits would require for their support. But we think that the simple and not very expensive system which we herein recommend would in a reasonable time undermine the influence of the native doctors in every district, and counteract the growing tendency to revive the worship of liilse gods and the belief in the old Hawaiian sorcery. 1867. Catholic Church—one of them being its head ; while the executive officer of the Board—the Inspector General—is intensely opposed to the religious faith of the mass of our people ; nor is it sufficient that denominational interests are said not to be considered in the construction and administration of the Board of Education. If they are not, why this exclusion so invidious, unnecessary and unjust ? There arc no truer friends of the Hawaiian Throno than the American Missionaries who, under God, planted the Churches of Hawaii nci, and who bo largely assisted in establishing here a Constitutional Monarchy; nor are there any more loyal subjects of Kamehamcha Y. than the native ministry and membership of our churches, and the communities in sympathy with them. We therefore exhort all to demand a proper representation in every department bearing on education and religion—a right thatmay certainly be claimed by every Hawaiian citizen. 2. Our ministers and churches, and our whole religious community should demand with inflexible hrninoss that teachers nnd school agents should be men of at least fair moral character. Our rising generation is in too great danger of being fatally corrupted by the example of mcmliers now in places of authority for us to be lukewarm on this point. It is more than ever important that we should require virtue in teachers nnd their coadjutors. No fear of personal consequences should allow any to remain silent under the present awful increase of immorality and crime. 3. In view of the fact that we are obliged to undertake independently the education ofour children, on account of the insufficiency of the Governmental schools, and also because they are so antagonistic to the Hawaiian Evangelical Churches, it isbut simple justice that theprovision of the late School Law be restored, exempting parents from the school tax who provide for the oducationof their children in independent schools. Let this request be pressed in every legitimate mode, till the right of a siillicicnt voice in schools bo granted, or until the taxes be remitted. It is not that we would abandon the idea of common schools supported from the national treasury; but, having been thrust out of our proper and rightful influence in the Common School System, wo owe it to the sacred muse of religion to demand that that influence be restored, or that we he relieved of taxation from a system now made to work mischief to our most precious interests as men and Christians. The Hawaiian Evangelical Association met at Kawaiahao, Honolulu, June 4th, 1867. Key. A. O. Forbes was elected Moderator, and Rev. Messrs. Bicknell and Waiamau, Scribes. The unabridged minutes of the meeting were published in the Kuokoa of June 15 and 22. A summary of business, with the various reports connected with the meeting, will be found in the annual report of the Association in pamphlet form, in the Hawaiian language. This supplement contains the most important and interesting of the reports (o the English reader. There were in uttendance forty-two ordained ministers, twenty-six of whom were Hawaiians; four permanent lay members, former members of the American Mission ; fourteen lay Hawaiian delegates, and five corresponding members. It was voted to observe the first whole week as a week of prayer, and to observe the last Thursday of February, 1867, as a day of prayer for schools. The Association adjourned to meet at Honolulu in June, 1867—the day to be fixed by the Hawaiian Board. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
