Mathew had made 5,000,000 teetotallers in Ireland, and he trusted he would make 10. 000,000 in England before he left it. He concluded by passing a warm Eulogium on the character of Father Mathew, whom he described as the greatest philanthropist that ever existed. On Wednesday Fattier Mathew again administered the pledge to many persons. Soldiers, sailors, mechanics and their wives and children, professional men, and several ladies and gentlemen, were among those who took it during the day.— There were upwards of 60,000 persons on the ground. ot people assembled in tin- Commercial Koad East, to greet Father Mathew, the advocate of temperance, who undertook to administer the pledge At ten o'clock, Father Mathew faced a metropolitan auditory for the firsl time He was received with loud cheers, particularly by his countrymen, who assembled in groat numbers.

Earl Stanhope said that Father the summer grass, are found, after the lapse I, 1814, Vol. 11. of a few years, to have exercised a great and abiding influence. Six hundred and fiftyeight individuals, selected amidst all the clamour, excitement and expense of a popular election, to represent the intelligence, public spirit and virtue of the nation, sit together for six months, devoting, on an average, six hoars nightly to the salvation of the country, and, at'the end of the time, no single measure has been passed, or law enacted, for which, by the boldest stretch of imagination, any man, woman or child in the British dominions can be supposed to he the better. For a period of five or six years tfys nation is kept in a state of painful and feverish excitement, to know whether a set of men called Whigs, who haunt a club called Brooke's, or a set of men called Tories, who congregate at the Carlton, shall win the great game of political pitch and toss, and toss, and enjoy the pitch of devoting themselves to the service of an ungrateful country, for an adequate consideration. At length the political mountain brings forth a new Premier, who talks as big as if the regeneration of the country was a mere joke to a practitioner of such profound ability, and lo! a twelvemonth is scarcely elapsed, before he is found out by everybody to be a more ridiculous mouse than any of his predecessors. In the mean time, while these great eventful changes are slowly evolving themselves, a parish priest in Cork, the lowly minister of an un-pensioned, un-established, and halfproscribed religion, finding his heart burn within him at the scenes of squalid misery sonsequent on intemperance, which be ii daily and hourly compelled .to witness, bethinks himself whether it may not be possible to check the inroads of this destructive monster drunkenness, by his own humble unaided efforts. From this little seed, cast noiselessly on the bosom of the great universe, and watered there by silent influences from Heaven, springs up in due course of time a mighty tree. An immense practical influence is exercised on millions of human beings. In Ireland alone, 5,000,000 of a population who five years ago appeared to be hopelessly addicted to habits of reckless and degrading intemperance, have been reclaimed, and are now leagued together under the solemn sanction of a religious vow, in associations of mutual defence against the common enemy Five millions of the most miserable and abject population on the face of the civilized world, have been raised in the scale of being, first by renouncing habits which degraded th»m to a level with the brute; and secondly, by being taught to exercise self-denial and restraint, and to associate together for a worthy object.

To all who have any considerable acquaintance with the Hawaiian churches, the name of Bartiineus must be familiar; and those who knew him best, most deeply lament his loss. The death of this extraordinary man occurred on the 17thof September, 1843, at Wailuku, Maui. In that neighborhood he had been laboring as a preacher of the gospel for several years past, with great acceptance to the people and good success. The place of his birth was Waikapu, a pleasant village adjacent to Wailuku; and as nearly as can be now ascertained, he was born about the year 1785. When an infant, his mother had formed the deliberate purpose of putting him to death. His grave was actually dug, and the little harmless babe about to be thrust into it, by the hand of his own mother, when he was unexpectedly rescued by the hand of a relative. How true it is that the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty! The good old man did not very often refer to this scene, but occasionally in his public addresses he would allude to it with thrilling effect, as illustrating the doctrine of a particular providence. Bartimeus was a man below the ordinary stature of natives, and his bodily appearance was very unprepossessing, except when he arose to speak, and became animated; he then appeared extremely well. his diminutive stature, his beard was long, jet black and frizzling, and owing to the meanness of his apearance when a young man, he became the butt of his untutored companions. Owing to his remarkable skill in the native hula," a dunce, he attracted the the attention of Kamamahe, (the wife of Rihoriho, Kamehameha II.,) who died in England, and was taken into her train as a sort of buffoon. His sole business was to make merriment for the queen and her favorites, and his reward was food and ana By means of this latter, he often became intoxicated, and would lie for days together wallowing in tilth like a beast. On the arrival of the first missionaries, he accompanied the chiefs from Hawaii to Oahu, where he heard for the first time the words of eternal life. "The sound of salvation" at once caught his ear. His attendance on the means of grace became constant. Says one of the first missionaries, " he was always at the house of God, and always at the preacher's feet.'' As tight broke in upon his mind, his wholt " (February, character began to change; child-like sim- to the last. In short, he was eminently a plicity, meekness, humility and devotion holy man.

This vessel was built in France, under (he nuspices of the friends of Catholic Missions in the Pacific. She sailed on the loth of Nov., 1842, having os passengers the Bishop of the Sandwich Islands, seven missionaries, and wicked. days. seven mechanics, and ten nuns. ' All told,' were 42 peisons on board. One nun died on the passage to the island of St. Catharines, S. A., and was buried when the vessel arrived in port. During their detention at that islnnd, a native Sandwich Islander died, who had been educated in France, and was returning to his native land. The Jose Maria left St. Catharines on the '23d of February, and was spoken a k\v days at sea, hut otherwise she has not since been hcnrd from. The opinion is generally entertained that she must have foundered at sea, probably off Cape Horn The American brig Delaware, from Huston, touched at St. Catharines about one month after the Jose Maria had left.

Others more cautious, forebore to test its pioperties in this way, not knowing but they might prove to be as dangerous as those of the Lethean Stream or the Dead Sea. Many speculations were agitated to ascertain the origin of this unlooked for phenomenon. Some thought the sea had suddenly forced a passage thiough what was once an active volcano, and that henceforth lhe old crater was to send forth water instead of fire. Others agiiin, believed the water had been gradually accumulating iv the fissures nnd cavities of the mountain, during the last tweny years, and had at length united in one vast body. But no me could certainly tell. Conjecture wns rile. At length iv the afternoon, several gentlemen, in whose judgement the utmost confidence could be reposed, mounted horse, nnd proceeded to the place, determined to examine with their own senses this new ''linn," whose sudden appearance among us laid disturbed in so remarkable a degree tho tranquility of our quiet town. They went prepared to take its soundings, and also to ascertain its exact temperature. On arrivi ig at the designated spot, they found a small dark pool, and into it the lead was i .iiiifiliiitrly cast, which found bottom at the surprising depth of six inches! The water wns so muddy that it was not thought advisable to make use of the thermometer. It was now recollected that a great deal of ruin had recently fallen, and here the marvel ended!!

On the in lining ..f the I "th inst., a brisk report wns in circulation through our good town of Honolulu, that nn immense body of water had burst through the suiface of Foil Hill, and spread itself out upon its summit in the form ofa lake, it was stated I lint the water around the borders of said lake wns cold, but that in the centre it was uul; and thai its depth wus eight Inthums. The excited natives were soon flocking in crowds to the scenes of wonder. It was judged that not less than 1,500 made the pilgrimage in the course of the forenoon; many of whom brought away calabashes full of the water. Some ofthe curious pro- otherwise have brought out in some editorial scribbling. Tbe origin of lhe deep sensation which pervaded this community, for a few hours, the reader cannot gather from the foregoing remarks. Upon the most undoubted authority, it may be stated, that a native woman, having been troubled in her sleep for jnany nights in succession, at length announced that a fountain was about to break forth on Fort, alias Punch Bowl, Hill. Tn test the truth of her dream, she ascended the hill, when lo! a fountain was to be seen. The report spread like an electric shock among the natives, and some of the foreigners, it seems, had their curiosity much excited. Her Hawaiian ladyship, (whoever she may be,) may, in truth, exclaim with Byron— " I had a dream—which »as not all a dream."

Among the rest, the chief was on hoard the ship, and very pressing in his solicitations to the captain to go on shore, an invitation which the latter transferred to me, having heard me express a wish to that effect; but conditionally, that 1 should go in a canoe, as be was not willing to venture a boat. I necepted the condition without hesitation, and first provided myself with a few heads of tobacco, and making the chief, who had a. tolerable smattering of English, understand that I must return to the ship by sundown, I embarked along with himself, hia son, and another native, in the canoe he had come off" in. As soon as we were clear of the ship, they hoisted the sail, and I had now an opportunity of testing the power of the canoe, and the skill of the people, as it was blowing fresh, and we had to work directly in the wind's eye. We made only three tacks in reaching the land, but the continual sprays had completely drenched me through, long before we got there. On reaching the land, the chief took me by the hand, and led me through a crowd of curious and gazing natives, to Ins house, where he pointed to a seat on some mats. A crowd soon gathered round, and made me tho su'»jectof a very animated discussion, in which, as among more civilized people, the ladies were the principal taUcrs. Their remarks, whatever they might be, were at all events made in the most perfect good humor, their bright eyes flashing with pleasure, and their countenances being lit up with smiles Those nearest me took mv hand and examined it, and on my unbottoning my shirt sleeve, they turned it up and made their comments on my white skin with a degree of surprise I should not have expected them to manifest, as from their possessing a few words of English, it was evident I was not the first white man they had seen, though I think it likely not many had been on shore here, and thus perhaps »oine of my n'tw friends might not nave seen an European before. My dress also was the object of a strict and searching scrutiny, the shoes appearing to excite the greatest share of surprize and admiration. I took one of them off*, and gave it to one nf my nearest neighbors, who passed it among the rest, and in a few minutesit was returned to my foot. When I thought I had sufficiently satisfied their curiosity in these respects, I rose to satisfy my own by a walk more inland. I found the houses very numerous, but they consist of a roof only, having no side-walls, but merely the posts which support the roof, which is elevated at its lower edge about three nnd a half or four feet only from the ground; but they were ren �34 •nw, tftifcttt).

Kx. 34: -I —" Si* days thou shall work, but on the seventh day thou shall rest: in eariii" time and in harvest thou shall rest." Here God allows six days in which men may work, but positively forbids them to do so on the seventh; and that too, in all seasons of the year, even when woik would be the most pushing. Ex. So: i, *J, —"These are the words which the Lord bath commanded, that ye s'ioul" do then. Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day; u Sabbath of rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death." The same prohibitione arc here repeated. Lev.

And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the Sabbath day. And they that found him gathering slicks, brought him unto Moses und Aaron, and unto all the congregation. And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. And all the congregation brought him without the camp, ami stoned him With stones, so that be died; as the Lord commanded Moses." I lero there is not only a prohibition of all labor on the Sabbath, but actual punishment inf 1ic-tt d when the command was broken. The Sai bath prom Moski to the time ok Christ —Thus fur \vc have seen what the Scripture says of the Sabbath, from the beginning down to tiic time when (he children of Israel were about to enter the promised laud We have seen what the example of God was on its institution what bis precepts and injunctions were, in the moral law, und how they were curried out in practice. Let us now trace the his buy of the people in regard to the Sabbath down to the tune of the S'viour. In the time of Moeeß, the people of Israel were threatened with grievous judgments in case they should depart IVoiiLthe service of God; and among other sins, the breaking of the Sabbath is made prominent. Lev. Ib: j.)—' And I will scatter you among the heathen, and. will dra.v out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, und your cite s waste. Then shall the land enjoy her Sabbaths, an long as it li' th deanlute, and ye he in your enemies' land*, even then shall the land rest and enjoy her Sabaths As long as it belli desolate it shall n st ; because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. The land a!s. shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her Sabbaths while she lieth desolate without tin in." This and other predictions are represented as being fulfilled in the Babylonish cap■<•;: 18, Jl— 'And they tivity: -' Citron. ;mii tit the house ol God, and Inake down the wall of Jerusalem, and destroyed all tin? goodly vessels thereof. Andlbeni that had escaped from the sword carried he [the King ,1 °ltaby|oii| away to Babylon; where they were servants to liim and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Ptrami tofulnlihe ward oft he Lord by the inoulh of Jeremiah, until the bind had enjoyed her Sabbaths; for as long us she lay desolate, she kept her Sabbaths, to fulfil three score and ten years Nehemiah also in correcting the morals if the people in relation to Sabbath keening, refers to the judgments God bad brought noon them in the captivity from which they had just returned. — " ' Neh. 13: 1.3—" In those days saw lin Judali some treading w ine-piesscs on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading; i,s also wine, giapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: anil I certified against them, in the day wherein they sold viluals There dwell men of Tyre also then iv, which brought fish und all manner of ware and sold on the Sabbath unto the children of Judali, and iv Jerusalem. Then 1 contended with llic nobles of Judnh, and said unto tin in, What evil thing is Ibis that ye do, and profane the Sabbath day • Did not youi lathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon the city .' Vet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the Sabbath." Here is a plain admission lint Sabbath breaking was among the sins for which God inflicted punishments upon his people, and that they were in danger of provoking Go<i to inflict slill greater judgments by their perseverance iv this sin. Nehemiah lived near the close of the Old Testament writings. Fzekiel also who prophesied before and during the time the children of Israel were captives, in Babylon, in summing up the story of the continued rebellions of the people, .says: L/.ek. iJO: I 1—" Moreover also I gave llieiu my Sabbaths, to be a sign between vie and them, that they might know that I mil the Lord that sanctify them. Hut the bouse of Israel rebelled against inn in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes and they despised my judgments, ami my Sabbaths they greatly polluted." Also, iv su.Lining up the sins of the people of Jerusalem In his own time, he Bays: Fzek ti'. B—'•Thou bast despised my holy things, and hast pro'aned my Sabbaths."— Again, verse -J.(i—'• Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned my holy tilings: they have put no difference between the li dy and pro ana, neithet have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes fftiM my Bab bathe, and 1 am profaned among them Again, tSr.ek <3: 3<!—'• Moreover, thi* they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same clay, and have profaned my Miiibiiths We have thus seen that throughout the Old Testament the Sabbath is spoken of by God himself ai id his prophets as a holy day; and we have eveiy where seen that a disregard to it was treat' das a great sin. There is but one idea on this subject when ver it is spoken of, and that is, that it is a sin against God." We quote now one or two passages which will show that God especially blessed those who kept the Sabbath. Isa SO: ■*, 7— man that doeth this, and' " Blessed is thethat the son of man layeth hold on it; that kcepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing evil.

Is it right to break it. — It may be said, '"Wo shall get rich sooner by laboring on the Sabbath, because we save a seventh portion of time." That may be, or may not be, as Cod pleases—but would it be right} The rubber, the swindler, the iter, all think they shall get rich eounterf sooner by their practices than by honest labor, but is if right} liul il remains to Uvjfirored that men will get rub sooner by breaking miy of the luws of God, than by keeping them. This bus never yet been proved, though thousands are trying the experiment.

PRINTED AT THE AM. MISSION 1845. PRESS. �46 KAMEHAMEHA III., king of the sandwich islands. Sire— I have the honor to dedicate to Your Majesty the Notes, on these Islands, their population, religion, agriculture, and commerce, written by me, which have been printed in successive numbers of the Friend, beginning on the & first of May last. It is possible that I may have been misinformed on some matters of fact, and that I may have erred in many of my views. All men are liable to mistakes, and to be led away by their own theories or fancies; I may have been so misled, to a degree unknown to myself; if so, others will point out my errors, and truths useful to your Majesty, your Dominions, and your People, may be elicited by their refutation. One only credit I claim, and that is, for the sincerity of my desire to aid in promoting the prosperity of these Islands, and the happiness of their native inhabitants. That it may please the Almighty to permit you long to reign over a religious, sober, virtuous, contented and happy people, is the earnest prayer of, aVJ • Sire, Your Majesty's most Obedient humble servant, ROBERT CRICHTON WYELIE.

My observations under the bead of Oath of Allegiance, pagi 61, have been taken up by Li game n under a latitude of meaning which I d> not think my words conveyed. I meant lo confine my remarks to the case of British subjects taking the oath of allegiance to this or any other foreign government. Notwithstanding ihe argument of Legamen, for whose intentions, learning and talent I have every respect, I cling, on this subject, to the opinion of Loiii Ashburton, as given to the Honorable Daniel Webster, in < — twenty-three " ago of her natural proprietors, she has seen her fertile fields successively a prey to the Persians, the Macedonians, the Romans, the Greeks, the Arabs, the Georgians, and, at length, the race of Tartars distinguished by the name of Ottoman Turks The Mamelukes, purchased as slaves and introduced as soldiers, soon usurped the power and elected a leader If their first establishment was a singular event, their continuance is not less extraordinary. They are replaced by slaves borught from their original country. The system of oppression is methodical. Every thing the traveller sees or hears, reminds him he is in the country of slavery and tyranny." " A more unjust and absurd constitution cannot be devised than that which condemns the natives of a country to perpetual I servitude, under the arbitrary dominion of strangers and slaves, j Yet such has been the stale of Egypt above five hundred years.. Tlie most illustrious sultans of the Baharite and Borgi'e dynasties were themselves promoted from the Tartar and Circassian bandsand the four and twenty Beys, or military chiefs, have ever been succeeded, not by their sons, but by their servants." These are the words of Volney and of Gibbon;—and what did the ancient i prophets foretell' ''7 irtll lay thr land waste, and all that is therein ru the hands of strangers. I the Ijord have spoken it.

Hut although the civil benefits derived from missionary labors may he regardedn ore as incidental than direct, yet s reflecting mind will hardly fail to perceive that they are to n gr< ater or less extent the natural consequence ofthem; and that the introduetinn of the pure and mild precepts ofthe christian religion, and the increased tight ef knowledge, must hire excited an important and we may say an indispensable influence in smeliuratiug tbe political condition of the people. The facts stated abundantly testify. In the deep interest which the missionaries, and the christian community bj uhrra llwyaie sustained, frel in everything, both civil and religions, thai pertains lo the Veil-be ing of the Hawaiian people, labor anil money have been frci ly expendi d, and no other iclurn sought than their morel and physical elevation ia the scale of being—their frw conversion in Christianity. A great change for Ihe better, we thin, has already taken place,—which is, we doubt not, in a great measure, in consequence of the Divine blessing upon tbe efibits that have been made.

In classifying the trading vessels, I have arranged them according to the port or country toor from which they proceeded, as the most natural way of showing the countries or places with which the Sandwich Islands have mercantile relations. The reader, therefore, is not to suppose that the vessels which appear as to or from Mexico, Peru, Tahiti, Ice, bore tho flag ofor belonged to those countries. The vessels put down as American trading vessels, are only those which appear to have come direct from the United States; besides them, a majority of all the other trading vessels were under the Amorican flag. 'i. The facility of communication between the Sum! wich Islands and the countries and porta with « liiili they trade, is shown by the following averages of p.lanugos : 3 vessels from Acapulco, averaged 35 days 20 vessels from Boston, averaged 163 days t vessels from Bonin Islands, averaged 47 days, I vessel from Bodega arrived in 15 days 31 vessels from China, averaged 60 days 40 days 1 vessel from Cobij i arrived HI • 37 yes. from n. w.
