THE PACiriCCommercial Advertiser,

For the P. C. Advertiser.Musings ofan Exile

Now In this solemn midnight time,My thoughts revert to days of yore,

Ere I forsook my native clime,The dreary world to wander o'er.

Oh, then the brightest hopes were mine,In that fair morning of my youth j

The sun should always clearly shinoAlong the broad highway of truth.

And well do I remember roe,Through the long dreary lapse of years,

That day I left my home for sea-- Slymother's kiss my mother's tears !

A few short months and I again,(Such was the ready promise made)

Iteturn'd to her from off the main-- Sheshould forget I e'er had stray'd.

Thirteen long years have pass'd since ILast saw my mother's kindly face,

But still fond memory's constant eyeCan all those well lov'd features traco.

Ah, bitter, unavailing team !Ah, Bid regrets, long yesirs too lato !

The surety of unwelcome fears,The gloom of unrelenting fate !

For on my soul, unwillingly,I feel the sad conviction rest,

That I, alas, no more shall seeMy native land" land of the West."

But still, v.pon this foreign shore,Number the slowly rolling years,

Exil'd from home oh, nevermore,To know the hope that others cheers.

Ilonolulu, Nov., 1850. LACBSX3.

VARIETYThe man who feels himself ignorant, should at least

be modest.Learning is the temperance of youth, the comfort

of old age, and the only sure guide to honor and pre-ferment. '

Cigar ashes mil be found an invaluable remedyfor the bite of the mosquito.

Whatever your miseries may be, there are othersmore miserable than yourself.

Reason is the test of ridicule not ridicule the testof truth.

An old lady in Greenbush is so careful of her property that she won't allow her geese to swim withouthaving corks on.

Curiosities. A ripple from the fountain of health ;pieces from a broken promise ; gravel from the roadto ruin ; a handle from a blade of grass ; counterfeitmosquito buL

The bayonet derives its name from the place whereIt was invented, Bayonne, in France, and was firstused in battle as a weapon by the French, in theyear 1603, proving a novel and efficient arm.

It is a good thing to laugh, at any rate, says Dry-de-n; and if a straw can tickle a man, it is an instru-

ment of happiness.Bowling is an English game, and was common as

early as the thirteenth century, especially among thehigher ranks. Charles I. played at it, and it formeda daily occupation for leisure hours with Charles II.

A gentleman once said he should like to set a boatfull of ladies adrift on the ocean to see what coursethey would steer. A lady in the room replied :44 That's easily told they would steer to the Isle ofMan, to be sure !"

Lord Braxfield (a Scotch Judge) once said to ancloouent culprit at the bar : " Ye're a vera cleverchiel, man, but I'm thinkin ye wad be nane thewaur o' a hanging."

Excuse me, madam, I would like to ask why youlook at me so very savagely ?'

Oh ! I beg pardon, sir ! I took you for my hus-band."

In walking in the city, always turn your toes out,and your thoughts inward. The former will keepyou from falling into cellars, and the latter from fall-ing into iniquity.

Julius Cjsar Hannibal's Lectures. De Whale.I shall, on dis great 'casion, spoke to you 'bout de

beasteses and monsters ob de deep ; and as I allarstake de biggest end ob de joke fust, I shall lecturedis ebenin' on de big codfish knone 'mong de saylersas de whale.

De whale, my frens, am werry seldom found in anyother place3 dan de Mediterrainin an' de SpecificOshuns. De whale am 'mong de fishes what an elen-fa-nt

am 'mong de beasteses de biggest loafer ob demall. A fisherman named Jon a swallowed one once ;but it oberloaded his stomach to dat degree dat intree day3 he lefif him up agin. It was too much forhim.

De whale am de big fish de codfish aristocracy obde sea, de same as de big bugs am de codfish aristoc-racy ob de land ; but de former had got de 'vantageob de latter, kaze notwithstandin' de whale dewoursa good deal, he produces sumfin', but de land codfisharistocracy dewours eberythmg an' produces nunin.

Patience with Children. One of the requisitesfor the successful training of children, at home or inthe school-roo- m, is ' Patience." Every teacher,whether the mother or a hireling, will find her laborsmade easy by the constant exercise of this cardinalvirtue. If they let patience have its perfect work"in their own hearts, it will be visible in all their con-duct, and exert a salutary influence upon the mindsof the young, in whose future well-bei- ng they feel adeep interest.

There may be hours when, perplexed with care andworn out with undue labor, the mother may feel therisings of impatience in her heart ; but nip it in thebud, before the fruits become visible in acts of whichshe may afterwards bitterly repent, Let no unkindword or hasty blow be given in anger, lest the remembrance of it should prove a poisoned arrow to theirbleeding hearts, when those loving eyes are closed indeath, and the head which nestles on her bosom ispillowed in the grave. Children are won by kindwords ; but cross looks and harsh tones deter themfrom seeking our sympathy, or giving us their confi-dence. The mother or teacher should regard thesports of childhood as a blessing, join in their inno-cent amusements, and draw from thence some usefullesson for their future consideration. They shouldlearn to look un to her as a friend in whom thevcould confide, who will bear patiently with their child--ian wuiw, auki m mnuness sees to improve whateveriuiy ub amiss in meir manners or morals.

JJiit Should they turn a deaf ear to her tPA.r.inrand scorn her instructions, seeming inclined to followthe evil promptings of a sinful and perverse heart,she has then need of a double portion of natience tosupport her in this great trial, and enable her at lastto overcome evil with good, and bring them by theforce of precept and example, to walk in wisdom'spleasant ways. Be kind, be firm and patient, andnope on un the. aeeired result is obtained.

COMIYTEIICXAI..THURSDAY, DEC. 4, 1S56.

During the past thirty days, since the departure of the lastmail for the Coast, trade has been brisk, with considerable in-

quiry for island produce for supplying the whale fleet in port.

There has been no accumulation of produce. The only merchant

vessel arrived is the brig Escape with an assorted cargo fromSydney. The entire cargo was offered at auction on Friday by31. C. Monsarrat, and the prices obtained were fair. Since our

last issue, we learn that the amount of specie received by theFrances Palmer from San Francisco was about $72,000.

A sale of 'specie at auction took place last Thursday, whichcaused some excitement in the mouey market. The amountsold wa3 $21,000 and realized a premium of about 5 per cent.The sale had the effect of lowering the rate cf exchange to aboutthat figure.

IVe quote the following prices at present ruling for Staples.FLOUK Stock not equal to demand. Hawaiian holds firm

OUR SAX FRANCISCO CORRESPONDENCE.San Fkaxcisco Oct. 2Sth, 1S56.

Dcak Sir, Since the sailing of the Frances Palmer, we arewithout further advices from your port. The Fanny Major ishe urly expected. The French clipper bark Tourney sails to-morrow for Hongkong, touching at Honolulu to land the mailfrom New York of Oct. 20th. The ship Raduija, Capt. Green,at Boston, was to sail Oct. 25th, and the Minnita, Capt. Beans-lo- w,

had sailed from Liverpool, both for your port. The follow-ing clipper ships from Eastern domestic port3 have arrived, andan equal number remains still overdue. Recent arrivals haveexperienced very severe weather off Cape Horn :

Boston,

Philadelphia.By the arrival of the whale ship Charles Carroll, of this port,

off a seven months' cruise, with over SOO bbls iolar oil, and12,000 lbs bone, we learn of the loss of the brig Tarquina, ofHonolulu, wrecked on Shantar Island, cargo and crew all saved.M any vessels had lost anchors and chains. The Chas. Carrollspoke thirty vessels, whose average catch was rising 800 bbls.

She once made this run in 07 days the best eveVpiade.We hear of considerable distress at Puenta Arena The

market was quite bare of desirable goods, and sales of nextyear's coffee had been made at $7 to $7 50. General Ariilkerwas waging vigorous war upon Corta Rica, and had latelyreceived a number of finely mounted brass field-pierce- s, ninj alarge shipment of Sharp's rifles, both of which were of essentialservice in the late battle.

Commodore Cornelius Vandevbilt is pushing the Tetmantepecroute rapidly forward to completion, and intends starting this linepermanently about Feb. next, when three distinct moans of steamcommunication will exist between New York and this. Welearn that 56 miles of the 90 miles of crossing is already com-pleted. All Culiforuians hope for a reduction in the present ratesof passage. Shipments of specie continue heavy, and our moneymarket somewhat tight. Bankers are not so ready to discount,and lenders require ample security on loans. Several failureshave followed closely upon each other, which has tended to placepeople on their guard. Five failures the past four weeks haveliabilities, exceeding in the aggregate $500,000. The assets inmost cases, small and visionary. The present rains, it is hopedwill bring a good supply of dust from the mountains.

Lat. 45, Long. 180, a ship's rail, which hebrought into port, and on inquiry finds that it doesnot belong to any vessel that is here. Capt. Miller ofthe ship Gen. "YVillliams, also saw, in about the samelatitude and longitude, a main mast head," but asthe sea was roug, could not secure it. The " head"or cap" of a lower mast is a part of a vessel notlikely be lost, except after serious damage. " Fearsare entertained here that the whaling bark Italy ofGreenport mayhave met some disaster, as she left theKodiac some three months ago for this port, but hasnot been heard of since. She had about 700 bbls ofoil this season.

Sir, You have probably seen in Honolulu manyof the whale ships whiih called this place in theopring ior woou and recruits, ror some montuswe have had only the Walter Scott from Edirartown,Capt. Collins, seven months from the United Stateson a sperm cruise, which remained here from the1 th 30th of July. You probably heard also of theloss of the Pantheon, Capt Ilazzard, a sperm whaler,which was burnt oS this island and was fortunateenough to run ashore in one of our bays, where thecrew and cargo, with about 210 barrels of oil weresaved. This event took place on the 21st of March,ISoO.

After a very long absence from home, I am aboutto leave this place, but I will make good recommenda-tion to my successor for the blanks you sent for thewhalers and merchant ships touching this place.

THE PACIFICCommercial Advertiser,

yriwRSDA r, December 4.The North Pacific still continues beyond a question,

to be the most profitable cruising ground known, andat least three-fift- hs of all the vessels engaged in thewhale fishery annually visit it The reaiaining two-fift- hs

of the fleet arc scattered over the North andSouth Atlantic, South Pacific and Indian Oceans, eachcaptain having usually some resort where he hasgenerally been successful in taking whales, but whereothers might fail to find theui. As late as the year1800, we believe, two hundred barrels of oil wasreckoned as a high average for the season's catch forvessels engaged in the whale fishery, but the cruisinggrounds then were mostly in the North and SouthAtlantic; but the average for the North Pacific fleetfor the past five years is above 1000 bbls to each ves-sel. There can be no doubt that is the most luci'a-tiv- e

branch of business which is now carried on, andin a future number of our paper we shall endeavor toshow that it is the safest and best business that themerchants of these islands can engage in.

The whaling season of 1850 has now nearly closed.There will probably be from fifteen to twenty arrivalsof whalers yet. The season at the North has on thewhole been a good one, though great deal of ice wasmet, and whales were very shy, running for the icefields at the first alarm. The captains, officers andcrews, we learn from several sources, have never before worked hard for their owners as during thepast season. Those who have never witnessed themknow but little of the zeal manifested by the sailorsThey don't like to return to port with small catch,and the competition, where so many vessels are to-gether, is often great. Boats crews frequently lay outall night on the border of the ice, in order to be athand and strike the first whale that might appear inthe morning, and frequently one animal is chased byseveral ships' boats at the same time.

We have prepared for the mail which leaves thisweek for the United States, full a statement of thecatchings of the fleet can be made out up to thisdate. A few vessels to arrive may change the aver-age we now give. The number of arrivals given inour list is about the same last year at this date,but the fleet cruising in the North Pacific this year isprobably forty or fifty vessels less than either of thefour previous years. We give below in separatecolumns, the total season's catch and the total amounton board, and would remark that whale ships gen-erally hail about ten per cent less than they actuallyhave on board, which amount, it is supposed, theircargo will loose by leakage, before reaching home.

It will be seen that the average for this season thusfar is 830 barrels oil and 10,000 lbs. bone to each ves-Th- is

average will probably be increased by the fewvessels yet to come in. We give also in the table below the average annual catchings of the right-icha- lefleet for five years, or as far as our data go back :

Inspector of Customs at this port, that the whale shipowners m me united States have addressed a commu-nication to the Secretary of the Treasury at Wash-ington, desiring to know whether their' oil, if shippedacross ims isthmus, will be admitted into the UnitedStates On the same terms ns if sent round CanAirnmto which he has replied that he has given the Specialinspector ncre instructions m reference thereto, andthat the oil, if landed here by the vessel to which itoriginally belonged, can be sent across the Isthmus,re-bmp- pea at vspinwall, aud entered at any port inthe United States on the same terms as if taken roundthe Cape. No transfers at sea, however, are allowed,as that would give British and French vessels an op-portunity of placing their oil on board American ves-sels, and entering it in the United States on the sameterms as American vessels. The Inspector here is toexamine all the oil thus landed at Panama, brandthe casks, and certify, under seal, to its disembarka-tion here and reshipment at Aspinwall."

The Star remarks that there are now five hundredAmerican whalers engaged in the Pacific ; and it i3calculated that one-thi- rd of these vessels will sendtheir cargoes across the Isthmus. This calculationwe think will be found to be premature. We haveconversed with several intelligent captains, who statethat no inducements will lead the ships to visitPanama, unless expressly ordered to that port by theirowners, it is considered an out of the way port,difficult to reach and difficult to get away from, owingto the calms prevailing in the. bay and neighborhoodof the coast. The loss in leakage from handling thecasks in so warm a climate, would be found to be nosmall item. Great care has to be taken with oil, in

keeping the casks wet and when they are handled itshould be done by those who are accustomed to it.But there is another view of the case which is gen-erally overlooked. Captains of whale ships preferusually not to ship their oil home, unless they havetaken a large catch, or the owners' are anxious tohave the shipments made and realize on the cargo.And even when shipments are made, they prefer tosend by whaleships rather than place their cargoesin the charge of persons who are not accustomed totake care of oil. Hence this fall, fully one-ha-lf theoil shipped to the U. S. goes by whalers.

To 5un Patrons in the United States and Eu-rope. This number of the Pacific Commercial Jld-verti- ser

and J"orth Pacific Whalemen's ShippingList , is a fair sample of the sheet we shall endeavor tofurnish hereafter, if our efforts are seconded by thosefor whose benefit we have undertaken the enterprise.We shall not be able always to present the sameamount of commercial news, for during the summerseason, from May to August, there is generally butvery little news received here from whale ships.Still, as our journal will be specially devoted to givingship news, all authentic marine information thatreaches these islands will appear in it. Merchants inthe United States may deem our terms very dear, com-pared with those of our New Bedford contemporary,but it should be recollected that all our materials,type, paper, ink, &c, are imported from Boston orSan Francisco, at much expense, and labor demandsabout double the compensation here. We rely in somedegree on merchants in the United States to supportour euterpi-ise- , and we think our arrangements aresuch (with regard to the postage as well as the com-mercial news department of the paper) as to give sat-isfaction to such as may become our patrons. Mas-ters and officers of whale ships have assured us thatthey will aid us in furnishing reports of all vesselsthat they may speak or hear from in their cruises,and 'have thus far assisted us very much in ourundertaking. Those who may wish to subscribe forthe Commercial Advertiser, can either remit bankbills or coin direct to us by mail, prepaid to SanFrancisco, or leave their orders with Bexj. Lindsey,Esq., Editor of the New Bedford Shipping List. TheCommercial Advertiser will be sent for one year,postage paid for $7 50, to the United States or Eu-rope.

Exchanges. The last mail from New York broughtus a good supply of valuable exchange papers andmagazines to which the Commercial had been forwarded. We would here thank the publishers of suchpapers as have consented to exchange with us, andwill endeavor to see that our paper is forwarded reg-ularly in return. It should be borne in mind how-ever that our mail communication with San Franciscois quite irregular and that sometimes tor five weeks,as in the present instance, we are without any meansof sending to San Francisco. On the other hand, weare sometimes six weeks, without any mail frow NewYork, and in such cases, a large number of exchangesbecomes our reliance in furnishing miscellaneous andforeign news for our local subscribers.

NOTES OF THE WEEK.2F Wo have taien considerable pains to make our

Shipping List on the 4r!i page correct, and have du-rr- hgthe past week set on board each halship Li

port, (of which there are some sixty or laore) in order to rectify any errors in it We think it will befound reliable.

SIT On our fifth page will bo found a thrillingaccount of the loss of the steamer Niagara on LakeMichigan, and "the heroic act of a female passengerrescued.

Lo3t Friday was the Anniversary of the recog-nition of Hawaiian Independence. The day passedoff very quietly. In the evening the palace wasthrown open to residents and strangers and theirMajesties wero present. The arrangements for theevening were very complete, the erection tf a tent forthe dancing is a decided improvement on having it asformerly in the palace itself. Perhaps a little moreregaid to the etiquette due to representatives of for-eign governments would not be amiss. We understand that some o Tense was taken at the carelessmanner in which the cards for the ball were address-ed to Consuls. By-the-b-ye would it not reflect morecredit to the government, if the cards of invitation tovisitors at the palace were executed with more skill.The shabby stylo of the last was remarked by everybody. .

The Wreck op the Nauticon. The weather forthe past few days has been very favorable for wreck-ing this vessel, an account of the loss of which wegave last week, and about all her oil (2300 barrels)excepting a few barrels stove in, has been landed6afely. An auction of stores saved from her was heldlast week, and the prices obtained were high. It isbarely possible, should the weather continue calm,that the hull which is very strong, will be got off andtowed into port. The loss to the underwriters willprobably not exceed three-fourt- hs of the insurance onthe vessel, and one-fou- rth on the cargo, or a total ofabout $35,000.

GST We omitted to mention in our last that HisMajesty the King was unanimously elected Presidentof the Sailor's Home Society, on the 21st November,and His Honor, Chief Justice Lee, Vice President.

Concert. We call attention to a Concert, .whichwill come off next Monday evening, at the CourtHouse, for the benefit of the Sailor's Home. It is tobe under the management of E. G. Beckwith, Esq.,President of Oahu College, whose ability to conductaffairs of this kind is well known. We are not pre-pared to announce to programme, but from a glanceat the pieces talked off, we are fully confident theConcert will be worthy of the patronage of the public.We hope there will be a full attendance.

Tickets $1 each, and for sale at Mr. Whitney'sBook Store, Dr. Hoffmann's office, Dr. Smith's(Dentist) office, by the Trustees, and by a Committeeof Ladies appointed at the late meeting of the Trus-tees.

It. II. Theater.. The entertainments presentedhave been varied, and have received much commen-dation. The bill for Tuesday night embraced a vari-ety of novelties that were witnessed by a large audi-ence, and the performances were received with mucheclat. To-nig- ht Mr. Kingsland takes his first benefitin Honolulu. He deserves, and will doubtless receive,a bumper from the patrons of the drama.

Rowe & Co.'s Circus. This company has givenexhibitions to crowded houses every night since theyopened. -- Their performances, in many respects, areentirely different from anything heretofore seen onthese Islands. Some well known old favorites are at-tached to the company that have previously visitedHonolulu. Doubtless the proprietors will have nocause to regret their visit to these Islands. To-morr- ow

evening they give a benefit to the Sailors' Home.C

The East India trade of the United States, includ-ing the African and Pacific trade, employs at thepresent time 400 ships and 150 barks, the greaterproportion of which are owned in Boston and New-Yor-k.

Fifty years ago a few 200 tun ships and brigscontrolled the East India business.

A Hint. An advertiser, in our columns to-d- aycautions persons against trusting him at auctions or 'elsewhere, "unless he has got " the ready" by him.There are a good many who will do well to follow hUexample.

From Kauai. We learn that the late storm wagvery severe on Kauai, and the amount of rain thatfell was greater than has fallen at any one time forfive years. Dr. Wood's mill-da- m was carried awayby the freshet at Koloa.

5fMrs. Penhallow, whose taste in Floriculture isonly equalled by her perseverance in introducing newvarieties of foreign plants, has sent us a fine Euphor-bia, in bloom, which is one of the most beautiful ofthe species that we have ever seen. This variety afthe plant, we think, has never before been raised here.

Burglary. The store of Mr. J. nalsey, on Nuua-nu street was entered on Tnesday night, and $55 incoin together with a lot of jewelry stolen from it. Theburglers were two sailors, both minors, belonging tothe whaleship Warren. The money was recovered.

To the Editor of the Pacific Com. Advertiser. .I beg to advert briefly, to an article in your last

issue, in which I am called on to vindicate myselfagainst the charge of obtaining, improperly, the pos-session of important secrets of State, in the custodyof the French Legation here; and also of being adangerous man, and an inveterate enemy of French-men.1- 1

If a defence bo necessary the matter can soon besettled. I never had a word of conversation withMr. Landais in regard to State Secrets. Whatever itconcerned me to know of political affairs, was easilyobtained without making a tool of him or any oneelse. By that kind of tacit understanding whichevery gentleman will comprehend, we mutually avoid-ed all reference to national subjects upon which adifference of opinion might be supposed to exist. Itis then utterly untrue that M. Landais ever in anymanner, made me cognizant of matters under hisown confidential keeping, or that f his principal.

Such a charge, if a thing of the kind can be'po.sible, is attrocious and it could only have originatedin the conceptions of a depraved mind.

The public must judge whether I am a dangerousman or the enemy of Frenchmen. This is a pointupon which I can say nothing until specifications arcexhibited. The kind treatment I invariably receivein the community from Frenchmen as well as oth-ers leads me to infer that I am not regarded inquite so dark a light as that in which you are advis-ed I have been represented.

Justice to M. Perrin requires mo to add that, onthe day of the appearance of your last paper, he gaveme voluntarily, the most direct and positive assur-ance, vpon his honor which no cne can doubt thathe had never in any way, directly or indirectly, off-icially or unofficially, charged mo with being a dan-gerous personage or hostile to Frenchmen, and thathe did not now entertain, and never had entertained,any such idea. He further said, very properly nodoubt, that whatever was the accusation he had madeagainst M. Landais, it was a matter solely betweenhimself and his government, which he could not thinkof divulging to any one. v

What such accusation may have been is thereforea matter of conjecture, except so far as the letters towhich you refer disclose it. My only concern withit results from motives of self-respe- ct and self-defenc-e.If I am implicated, I can only say that it has beenthe result of a most perverse misapprehension ofwhich no man of intelligence ought to be guilty.

This vindicauon if you please to call it so, shouldhave come from another quarter, but opinions arodifferent on snch matters, and I have no dispositioato complain. It is, however, my opinion that he whois cited in the public press as the author of a calum-nious charge, should be the first person to disclaim itthrough the same channel.

David L. Grego.Legation of the United States,

Honolulu, Dec 2, 1856. J- Honolulu, Nov. 29, 18-50- .

To the Editor of the V. C. Advertiser. .Sir : Having read one of the letters received from

Mr. Landais, in which he mentions the serious chargeof treason brought against him by Mr. Perrin, theFrench Commissioner, I beg to make a few remarksconcerning the non. David L. Gregg, the U. S. Com-missioner, whose character k particularly impeachedin the above accusation. Whatever might have beenthe political line of conduct of the American Repre-sentative, it is utterly false that he ever has shownhimself to be an inveterate enemy of the French, forI have witnessed many instances in which that gen-tleman has lavished the kindest cares of hospitalityon countrymen of mine who were either neglected ordisdainfully treated by him that should have beentheir natural protector. The staunch nationality thatstamps, usually, the acts of the American Commi-ssioner is a virtue which the French residents herewould be proud to find in their own Commissioner.No wonder then that the first is a dangerous man forthe second.

I have no doubt that it will be easy for Mr. Greggto reduce to a falsehood, his pretended share in thecrime reproached to Mr. Landais. How far Mr.Perrin's reports may be credited must be judgedfrom his conduct towards myself, who have had themisfortune to be the first consular chancellor underhis orders; for not only has he obtained my revocationby false reports against me, but has succeeded, up tothis time, in preventing my legal repatriation, at theexpense of the government by whose order I repairedto Honolulu, with my large family. To my repeatedreclamations the Minister answered that I had for-feited my right of repatriation by my refusal to re-turn to France, after the notification of my dismissal,and my acceptation of public functions from theHawaiian Government. I obtained from the latter anauthentical certificate to prove the falsity of that newcharge but a last blow soon destroyed all my hope.I was reported to be in the secret employment of theHawaiian Government from which I had receivedalready $2000 to betray the interests of France. Iinformed at the time Mr. R. C. Wyllie of the mannerin which the dignity of the Hawaiian Ministers wasbesmeared in Paris.

Here I am left an exile by my government, withoutknowing when the hour of justice will sound for meSeven long years have permitted the author of mysufferings to enjoy the fruits of his deed ; and whenhe lastly came back from completing my ruin inParis, he said, in presence of Mr. Remy, the French!naturalist, that Frick finding that he deserved no in-terest by himself, got many children to excite ity'Thus the prostrated victim was insulted on account ofhis respectable position as father of eight children..

Ho-NotuLi- r, Nov. 20 til;Mr. Editor: I see in the Polynesian of to-d- ay

in a price current, "corrected weekly by J.. C. Spal-ding," that flour is quoted at $9,50 and $10.

Now does Mr. Spalding pretend' to say that flourcould be bought at the mill, or any where else inHonolulu, on the 29th of Nov.. for $10 ?

If so, why did the flour damaged- - on. board theJVauticon sell on that very day at $13 per 200 lb-a- nd

California flour at that Inquire. .

GT Mr. Spalding informs us that the rates givenin the price current,, were those furnished, to him bythe miller.

For the P. C. Advertiser.

Who that has passed by the large Stone Churchthe principal native church of the metropolis, wherem&ny of the dignitaries and most wealthy people of theland worship, has notjbecn astonished at the dilap-idated, neglected, and I think I may properly add,heathenish, appearance of the burying-groun- d. Hadthe adobie fence been lately thrown down by heavyrains or earthquake, there would bo less reason forastonishment and remark, but such is not the case,for the whole place has been lying open for years,growing woisc and worse as fast as time and the ele-ments, aided by any.number of horses, swine, dogs,and other animals could do the work until it has be-come a great common nuisance. I'll not attempt togay how badly it looks, or how unfavorably it im-presses people recently from civilized countries. Itcertainly is a disgrace to all who worship at thatchurch, or have friends buried in the common ; (youcannot call it a yard;) and all who have any respectfor the dead, or who regard the appearance of thetown, must (or at least ought to) feel mortified atguch neglect.

In many of the "out stations," where the people aremuch 'less able than are those who make up the con-gregation of the Stone Church, there have been com-fortable, and in some places handsome churches builtrecently ; and the people of this church have un-doubtedly contributed towards more than one of them,as well as for missions, etc., in various' parts of theWorld. I would not say that charity should stop, aswell as commence, at home, but I do think it our dutyto provide for our own wants first, at least sufficientlyto be decent, before looking abroad lor chances to in-vest our small means. Somebody is at fault in thismatter, and we venture to blame first, the pastor, forin Hawaii nei the pastor is expected to lead in everytiling connected with the church ; secondly, the prin-cipal church-membe- rs ; thirdly, those persons of rankand property who do occasionally worship at the

King's Chapel ;" and fourthly, the whole native,and some of the foreign community.

If I am not mistaken, the congreg?ion of both na-tive churches in Honolulu bury their dead at theplace mentioned, and hence they are all interested inthis subject ; and if they are not able to enclose theground, let them call upon the entire community,and the foreigners will, I ara sure, contribute as theydid for the Catholic ground, in order to make theplace respectable.

A fence of pickets and mamane posts would do verywell, and be the cheapest in the start ; but a stonewall would be the best, and in the end, most econom-ical. Those persons who have teams could work outtheir contributions in hauling material, and otherswho have no money could furnish labor, so that with awhat could be raised during the fall season, the wholepremises might be enclosed in January next. Alge-ro- ba

trees grow quickly in any part of the town, andif those who have friends buried at Waiahao, or whoexpect to have, would each plant and rear one tree,the place would (with a good fence) soon b3 not onlydecent, but handsome. Iki Maka.

Later from the United Stntes and Europe !FORTY" DAYS FROM NEW YORK !

The arrival on Monday last of the French clipperbark Tournay Capt. Moreau, 12 days from SanFrancisco with the American and European mails,has placed us in possession of files of New York papersto Oct. 20, London Oct. 4, and San Francisco Nov.17.

The Tournay left San Francisco on the 18th Nov.and reports theJmrk Yankee as having arrived overon the 18th. We think it must have been the FannyMajor, 24 days hence, as the Yankee only sailedon the 8th. But the captain assured as quite confi-dently it .was -- the- Yankee. Had very strong windsfrom the south-ea-st throughout the passage. Theship B. F. Hoxie would sail for Honolulu absut the1st Dec, and would be the first vessel for this port.

Count Medem, a Russian traveller, with his ser-vant, came as passengers in tho Tournay , and willremain a few weeks on the islands.

The latest dates .from Europe show the politicalhorizon to be again looking stormy. England andFrance had sent a fleet of war vessels to Naples toenforce certain demands, whilo Austria and Russiathreaten to defend the Italian States against anywarlike demonstrations from the other powers. "Wedo not anticipate any serious rupture.

The election returns are tho most interesting newsby this mail, and indicate very clearly the choice ofJames Buchanan as the next President of the UnitedStates. But if his choice is not made by the peopleat large, it will be by the House of Representatives,In which body his party will have a clear majority of25 or 30 votes.

and the Union ticket 32,004. Democratic majority3,434, more than entire majority of the State. ThePhiladelphia election is to be contested on the groundof fraud, and proceedings are already commenced inthe courts.

The Democrats have a gain of 8 members of Con-gress, having elected fourteen out of the twenty-fiv- ecomposing the State delegation to the House of Repre-sentatives. The State officers elected in Pennsvlva--nia are a Canal Commissioner, Auditor of the Stateand Surveyor-Genera- l.

Ohio. The State election has gone Republican byabout 20,000 majority. For Congress, the Democratshave elected seven (perhaps eight) of their candi-dates. This is a clear gain, as the present delegationfrom Ohio in the House of Representatives docs not

cans were united on an Anti-Nebras- ka ticket, in op-position to the Democrats. The election was furGovernor, Members of Congress, State Legislature,and State, officials of all sorts.

A "Whaleman among Arabs. The whaling brig'Lewis Bruce, of Orleans, Capt. Ryder, arrived atthis port Wednesday from the coast of Africa, whereshe has been cruising several months in search of

le,f. Se brought home 310 barrels of oil and j--o,vw ids oi Done. lhe whalemen'durin" their voy-age were often in the vicinity of the wandering Arab,who frequently come down to the coast from thetreat Desert. Capt. Ryder was once captured bythem whde on shore, and they attempted to get himon a camel and carry him off alive ; but the captainvras too courageous to be thus made a slave of, andhe manfully resisted, when the savages shot him inthe legs to cripple him, and he in turn shot one ofthe Arabs dead. Fortunately at this juncture he wassaved by other whalemen coming to the rescue, whoafove the Arabs off and carried the wounded man toan'51 C5apt R?der recovered from his woundscame home in. command of his vessel. There

were about a dozen whaling vessels on the coast, andthe seamen had carried on considerable trading "withthe natives, who are represented as being exceeding-ly treacherous. The men while on shore always wentin company and were well armed. Boston Journal.

A Veteran Whaleman. Mr. Leonard Courtney,of this town, is known as one of the most successfulwhalemen of the age. The various vessels in whichhe has performed voyages, have taken and broughthome, fifty thousand barrels of oil. We suppose noman ever was at the capture of so large a number ofwhales as Mr. C. lie now goes out first officer of theLouisa Scars, a vessel recently added to our whalingfleet. JVantucket Paper.

An Unfortunate Whaling Cruise. We learnfrom the New London Star that the brig Georgiana,Capt. Huddington, arrived at New London, Ct., onWednesday evening, from a whaling voyage, havinglost fourteen out of twenty-thre- e of her crew, byscurvy, during the past winter. Among them wereCharles M. Kelly of Massachusetts, Henry Morgan ofPortland, Me., and Charles Metealf of Vermont. TheGeorgiana wintered in Frobisher's Straits. In thespring they were threatened with an attack from thenatives, and from this cause, and the reduction of thecrew by disease, Capt. II. sailed for home havingtaken but ten barrels of oil. The G. left New Lon-don April 11, 1855, and has not been reported duringher absence.

On tho 7th the Emperor Alexander was crownedat Moscow with grout pomp and magnificence. AtBiarritz, it is said, there'has been a political conclave,where the subjects discussed have been of more thanordinary interest. The coolness which was springingup between England and France is reported to haveentirely given place to a penchant more warm thanthe first. Two secret diplomats from Lord Palmer-sto- n

had been closeted for a week with the Emperor,and the result is that the dissolution of the Cortes byO'Donnell is to be supported, if necessary, by anarmed intei'vention on the part of France, Englandconsenting. To balance this, France has agreed towink at English interference in Naples, where she isabout to send an ambassador, whose mission is to besupported by a powerful fleet in the Bay of Naples.Such were the rumors current at the last dates inpolitical circles in Paris. The court was not expectedto return from Biarritz until the first of next month.There are reports of an exchange of colonies betweenFrance and England the former to give up her es-tablishments on the mainland of India, receiving as

consideration the fertile island of Mauritius. Itwas said that the Peace Congress of Paris would re-assemble soon, in order to settle the question of thefuture rule of the Danubian Principalities, and thatthe affairs of Switzerland would then be consideredby the diplomats. Berlin papers state that Francehas pronounced in favor of the capitalization of theDanish Sound Dues. The merchants of Marseilleswere about to agitate for a repeal of the corn laws.In Spain, the O'Donnell Cabinet possessed the fullconfidence of Queen Isabella, and it was thought thatthe Queen Mother would soon return to Madrid. Theresignation of the Spanish Minister at Washingtonhad been accepted. Austria was about to interferein the contest between Prince Da-nel- s and the Turks.One of the boats of the unfortunate ship Ocean Homehad been picked up at sea, and the second mate, twoseamen, and one passenger rescued. The UnitedStates steamer Arctic sailed from Queenstown on the11th inst. for St. John, N. B. She would continuethe soundings of the Atlantic on her homeward pas-sage. Tho decline in breadstuff's reported by thesteamer Indian had not been recovered.

The Czar signalized the day of his coronation bypublishing a most important ukase, which containsan amnesty and lays the foundation for great reforms.The following points are contained in it : A civicand military medal for all who took part, directly orindirectly, in the war. Freedom from military ser-vice for four years throughout the empire. A mostequitable assessment of the poll-ta-x. The Emperoraccords an amnesty to the political offenders cf 1826and 1831.
