Let no one suppose that the chaplain ha* been indifferent to making c. cry accommodation in his power for hearers. Ho has fiom time to time proposed measures for the location of the hearers. Among reasonable and candid persons we honestly think that no misunderstanding should exist. Let it be fully underttood that teat* are free whether cuthioned or not; that teamen have the right and privilege to occupy any teat; but to prevent confution, and ditorder, let teamen occupy the left hand tide on entering, and retidtntt the right hand tide. When the number of seamen in port is few, then there is no objection lo residents being sealed on the left hand side. It requires, we are satisfied, but a little of the true spirit of conciliation and the love ofaccommodation, to seat alfsuch as love the worship of God. We desire seimen to ever bear in mind that the chapel was built for them, and that the chaplain has received a commission to preach to them the gospel of Jesus Christ; and we wish residents fully to understand that they are cordially and freely invited to take seals in that chapel up n the Subhuth, until they are provided with some other more convenient place for public worship. Whenever in the provident* of God that time shall arrive, the prayers and the benediction of the seamen's chaplain shall go with them.

May we not reasonably expect that some through the water, nnd roadurs will be found who will remember that the piinter must be paid ? In looking over the lists, it is gratifyin; to oosorvt | that so many ships aie full and homeward bound ships has been uneoininonlj I Although the number of"ground," yet scarcely any lartc upon iho N. W. [whaleman reports* want ot*these »ion«Or»of the deep. Monsters they are, indeed! Flora various imp ities ivc learn that ihoy average about lODliarrels each. We have heard of one ship that took a whale yielding 225 barrels! It is no matter of surprize that such huge leviathans cf untunes strike tenor into the mind* ol their pursuers, or that the cases .should nut be rant wbenihere would really be a failure, in prosecuting this species of hardy entorpri/o." It is a source of hoarTolt joy that during the last season the in t of sudden denth and melancholy disinter should be so very rare; althoughseveral Ii ivo already been reported. yet the fact should be considered I hit noi lc«:hiinrivc or six thousand men have been Bfafugsd in ihe whaling business during tho past season, on the X \V. ground. From what we can learn, llie manlier of ships must Bxceed two hundred. Many of these bars ihcady trrived at the Islands, and oro able lo repoit that no ceident has occurred to the injury of lifo or limb of any erson onboard. It dues really apj ear that whalemen, ofall, are called upon to abound w ii h thanksgiving God for his continually preserving, goodness and " Ko»t little noise in going mar bo turned round nnd round in half the: that a foreign boat occupies. itime nnd space They arc of different sizes; the smallest are about threo tons, and the largest about twenty-five, carrying two small boats on her deck, and a crew of twelve men, of light dialt of water and good length. On the bow is a crooked piece of timber, supported by a slnncheon, which serves as a rest for the harpoon when not wanted; it enables Ihe harpooner to stretch well over the bow, and In see the fish as they pass below the boat. this position they are struck, for the weight ofthe harpoon prevents its being thrown any distance. Abaft the mainmast the deck is rounded so as to form the roof of tho cabin; on its top the whole line is coiled. The harpoon has only one barb, and about fifteen inches from the point of the iron it is made with a socket; above which, an eye is wrought, with a cord attached to the iron, to which the whale line is fastened, and stopped slack along tho wooden shaft, so that when the fish is struck, the iron and 87 the line tightens, the shaft draws out, and leaves less chance of the iron cutting out) or loosing its hold ofthe skin ofthe fish-. The whale line is made of native hemp, and is about 60 or 70 fathoms long, and from 4 to 6 inches in circumference, according to live size of the boat. Great length of line is not' required by them* for there'is shoal writer all along the const for many milesi to seaward. One end of the line is. fastened round the mainmast, the remainder is coiled away on the top of the house, and carried forward to the harpoon in the bow, where it is made fast, leaving a few fathoms slack of line. Tho boats come out of tho different harbors at daylight, and spread tlicimjclves soon all along the coast. As soon as a fish is seen blowing, Ihey go in chase. If. fortunate enough to get it fast, tho sails are lowered, the bight.of the line got aft, the rtiddor unshipped, nnd the boat allowed to tow stern foremost. The rest of the flei I seeing the sail lowered, come op to assist; and as the fish now keeps pretty much on the surface in its struggle to get away, ihov soon manage to fasten eight or ten harpoons into it, and in a couple of hours or so it is dead from wounds and the loss of blood. They always strike the fish a little behind, the blowhole, on the top ofthe back. When the fish is dead, it is lashed alongside one or two of the boats to float it, and to allow tho others to make their lines fast to the tail, and tow it on shore. It is sutprisin*; that the boats are not stove in, or completely destroyed, from their manner of taking the fish, i.e. sailing right over it and then striking it; bul from the cool way in which the Chinese manage the whole affair, I havno doubt that personal accidents occur more seldom than with our fishermen. Their greatest dnnger is when two or three whale, are struck t» gether in the same place, ami swim round und over each other, so as ti» foul tho lines. The boats are then drawi. against each other and over the fish, and run great risk of being soon swamped nnd Move in pieces. In one instance of this sort that fell under my observation, they had three of their boats swamped, but managed to clear the lines, and kill the fish in a most dexterous-manner; after which, some of tho spare boats returned and towed the damaged bouts on shore. They had no Ititicen in their boats, nor in fact any other weapon except the harpoons, which they refused to sell ut any price. All tho boats bnd pat! i of the whale's flesh salted, which they uncias provisions. They refused to give an; account of what use they made of the fish, and in general were not disposed to be ver civil to strangers, which might ari;e frtr.t jealosy, or a fear of our interfering with their fishery. The fish are, 1 believe, what whalers call tho right whule, and were calculated hy those on boaid to yield on an. average 50 barrel, of oil each. �88 THE TUIENB.

Yourself will go with like, and come away when you please.—approve your jokos,assent to your propositions, and in short, he in every way agreeable, if you only learn and practice the true art of being really on goodterms with yourself." This, however, is not so easy as many imagine, who do not oiien try the experiment. Yourself, when it catches you in company with no other person, is apt to be a severe critic on your faults and Ibibics; and when you are censured by yourself, it is generally the severest and most intolerable species of reproof. It is on this account that you are often afraid of yourself, und seek any associates, no matter how inferior, whose hold chit iv ly keep yourself from playing the censor. Yourself is likewise a jealous friend: if neglected and slighted.it becomes a bore," and to be left for even a short time " by yourself" is then regarded as actually a cruel penance, us many find when youth, health, or wealth, have departed. How important is it.then to kno.v thyself, to cultivate thyself, to respect thyself, to love thyself warmly but rationally. It is a most excellent rule to avoid gross familiarity, even where a connexion is most intimate. Tho human heart is so constituted as to love respect. It would indeed he unnatural in very intimate friends to behave to each other with stillness; but there is a delicacy of manner, and a flattering deference, which tends to preserve that degree of esteem which is necessary to support affection, and which is lost in contempt when a too great familiarity is allowed. An habitual politeness of manners will prevent even indifference from degenerating into hatred. It will refine, exalt, and perpetuate affection. Integrity is a great and commendable virtue—a man of integrity is a true man, a bold man and a steady man. He is to be trusted anil relied upon. No bribes can corrupt him, no-tear daunt him. His word is slow iv coming, but sure. He shines brightest in the fire, and his friend hears of hint most wlien he most needs him. His courage grows with danger, and conquers opposition by constancy. As he cannot lie flattered or frightened into that he dislikes, so he hatesffattery and temporising In others, lie runs with truth and not with the times—with right and not with might ; his rule is straight—soon seen, but seldom followed.

We also find that the Commercial Agent, Mr. Hooper, culled upon the, Governor, who, by custom, if not by law, sits ns Judge pf appeals, to propose a jury according to the right he considered he had accorded to him, by the King's speech and the precedent's at Lahaina —that the Governor pleaded ignorance of any such right, and referred Mr Hooper to Dr. Judd, whose directions the Governor had been in the habit of obeying—that the, Commercial Agent did call upon Dr. Judd at his ollice, and Dr. Judd not only made n objections to tho course proposed by Mr. Hooper, but even assisted him in forming a jury, he (Dr. Judd) objecting to some of the names in the list, which Mr. Hooper had previously drawn > out. We also find by the correspondence, that the t\:\y Dr. Judd called with the Attorney General on Mr Hooper, and told him that the privilege of nominating a jury would not he accorded to him, as there was no treaty with the United Stales, —and that Mr. Hooper finding that he could not convince Dr. Judd that he was wrong, or induce the Governor to grant the privilege, then laid the whole matter before the Americun Commissioner. We again find from this correspondence,that .Air. Brown wrote a letter to Dr. Judd on the 30th of August, wording it in such a manner, as to appear ignorant himself thut Dr. Judd had been applied to, previously, for his interference in the matter, and affording him (to use Mr. Brown's words) "an excellent opportunity of withdrawing from the untenable position he had taken." To this letter a reply is made by Dr. Judd, upholding the course of the Governor, upon the sole around, that there is no existing treaty with the Lnitcd States, nnd saying that if Mr. Brown desires to claim diplomatically the privilege demanded," he (Dr. Judd) "desires time to vindicate the ground assumed by the Governor of Oahu."

Here the case might be rested. No fairminded men, it is believed, could fail to return a true verdict to condemn the traffic as immoral in a high degree.

However it might once have been, in times of comparative ignorance, can the man who in this age ef light, deals in those drinks, either in wholesale or ret lil, pray for a blessing on his business > The idea is preposiorous. As wall might the assassin beseech Uod to nerve his arm, and steel his heart for the blow he contemplates giving his victim. And does the msn who traffics in these drinks enjoy peace of conscience? Does this inward monitor give an approving voice to cheer him iv his toil by day and by night. in dealingout the drunkards drink.' Does he feel self respect in his business, and honest pride in being seen replenishing tho empty jug or cask of his neighbor, or filling his gloss, something as the farmer feels in being seen swinging his sythe, or thrusting in his sickle? Is he pioiiu of the fruits of hie labor, of the raged bloated, noisy, profane, fighting,dirty creatures whom he turns out of his shop late at night, to stsgger and bawl through thestreets, or to lie at some corner in their own vomit? Alss, slas, the conscience of the dealer in intoxicating drinks too ofien becomes callous, and ceases to do her otfico. It is true that she sometimes troubles the man, as in the case of Mr. R.the merchant of New York, who after the death of the 13th drunkard, who all died in one summer ofdrinking of his rum, was often nfr.iid to be slone," and frequently urged Docill to sleep with him "to keep the devil off." Still, the men who traffic in these drinks do often contrive to stifle the voice ofconscience till near the close of life—sometimes probably till they awake in eternity, where she becomes the undying worm! So of respectability. The traffic makes men sordid. It blunts nil their finer feelings. They often lose the sense of shame.

They hay» been extended to a much greater length, and have embraced a much wider range of topics than 1 at first intonded, horn my unexpected detention on the Wands, and the many new subjects which that longer residenco and better acquaintance with the natives suggested to myu mind, while the longer I stayed the more intense cume my interest for the welf.re of this singularly be'sulfated and peculiarly circumstanced people. Tie notes are the fruits of leisure hours, in the evenings, snatched from my ether occupations, of much serious reflection on the moral and socialand condition of these people. They emanate ftom a sincere desire to better their condition, and beyond that, I have sought no reward whatever. It is likely that I will soon withdraw myselfentirely from 1 olynesia, but throughout life I will watch with interest, the progress of civilization and Christianity omongst a people whom I regard, so far »s civilization is concerned, as essentialiy neophytes of the Protestant fauh. That they are so. is very clesrly shewn, pafromthe ,te b >,tr 0 Re v K'chard Armstrong, so farback pcr as 1838, which.l send you herewith.

On carefully perusing its contents, I wss forcibly struck with the coincidence between many of his views, in 1838, and many to which reflection had led me, in 1841. Hut I considered the paper too valuable as a whole,and too honorable to the Missionaries, for me to mutilate it.

I sincerely hope that you will at least find such a sale for them, as to reimburse you for the extra expense, for prilling that they have occasioned, so as not to encroach upon those means, which compared with the wide field of your useful labors, are very small indeed.

It is possible that I may have been misinformed on some matters of fact, and that I mny have erred in many ofmy 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 unknown to myself; if so, others will point out my errors, and truths useful to your Majesty, your dominions, and your people, may be elicted 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 inUabilunts. That it may please the Almighty to permit you long to reign over a religions, sober, virtuous, contented and happy Jfcople, is the earnest prayer of, Sire, Your Majesty's most Obedient humble servant, ROBERT CRICHTON WTLLIE.

[ From Wilrner and Smith's European hmes, for Sept. 19, we glean the following 127 THE ¥RIENB. $44.) From the Cascade and Miscellany. Mr. Coldwaterman:—One of the constant listeners to your valuable paper has been much gratified with the numerous and unanswerable arguments you are able to bring forward in favor of Total Abstinence principles. It is a subject which enlarges the more it is thought upon. Arguments for temperance and dissuasions from intemperance, multiply in a ten fold ratio the longer one practices the one and avoids the other. The reform has advanced so far, that not a single writer of any respectability daro come out and oppose the temperance reform. Writers, so far as they employ their pens, are all engaged upon the side of Total Abstinence principles. How changed are the views of the public in Honolulu, in regard to the degiading vice of drunkennesss. A few years since it was so common for drunkards to be seen in the streets, that the disgusting sight occasioned no surprise. It is not so now. Lately we lu-ard it reported that the Master of a whale ship was seen drunk in the streets. "Is it possible," says Who can it have been,'" says anone. other. S.nlnis too, are not so frequently seen reeling through our streets. Says one, 1 saw a sailor drunk to-day, for the first "time during this shipping season." Says another, " How regular that fellow has been since he signed the pledge." The mechanics and laboring class in Honolulu, have risen more than 100 per cent, during the last 18 months. They may have been slow in coming to the conclusion that alcohol is not necessary to laboring men, but now they are nobly practicing the principle. It does one's soul good to meet these men hale and healthy, cheerful and happy, as they are engaged in their various trades and professions. If a man wants a piece of work done, he is not put off a week or fortnight, until the person he would employ gets sober. It is a long time since we have heard the complaint that " I cannot get such a piece of work done because is on An engraver at Boston has just finished elegant seal of state for the King of the Sandwich Islands.
