Return Of II. NJ. S. Blonde from the
Sand1Uici Lslands.-We last week an-
nounced the arrival at Portsmouth of
his Majesty's ship Blonde, commanded
by Lord Byron, from the Sandwich Is
lands, whittier she conveyed the bodies
of the King and Queen of those Islands,
with the Chiefs who had accompanied
them to England. The Blonde left
England in the autumn of 1924 on her
arrival at Valparaiso, Mr.. Charlton, Con-
sui General OF the island in the Pacific,
was sent forward to Woahoo, to an
nource the death of the King and
Queen, and, the expected arrival of the
Blonde, with the bodies. 1t was re-
garded as remarkable circumstance
by the natives, that just previous to the
period of Mr.. Charlton's arriva. at
Wodhoo, certain natural phenomena
such as the extraordinary overlooking
and recession of the tide, an eclipse of
the moon, sc. had taken pIace-which
impressed them with belief that some
fatality had happened TO the King or
Queen; similar occurrences being OBJ
served when Tamahama the first died,
the first sovereign who conquered all
the seven Islands. brought them under
one government, and afterwards coded
them to Vancouver, in 1894. This o.
men or presentiment was confirmed by
Mr.. Charlton's arrival. When the
Blonde arrived at Honoruru, the an
chorage of Woahoo, in May last, she
was, however, saluted by nineteen guns
from the fort. The present King Of the
Islands is Kaukiauli, a lad about II
years of age, brother of Rio, lately d.
ed in England. The Blonde continued
at the Island about six weeks, during
which Lord Byron attended the meet
ings of the chiefs, who gravely DELHI
Grated respecting the succession of the
young King and princess to the throne !;
as heretofore might had constituted
right. This important matter was,
however, very amicably arranged, the
heads Of the nation, and all the chiefs,
expressing their earnest desire to con-
form themselves strictly to the laws Of
legitimacy, and of consanguinity. This
island is described as the most fertile
of all the Sandwich Islands. The in.

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.

London dates TO the 23d March an,
Liverpool TO the 25th have been receiy
ed. The King of England had beer
Ill; the reports of his illness had an eff
feet on the funds, and on the 10th O
March his physicians began to publish
daily bulletins: after this he grew
worse, but the bulletin of the Goth o.
March, the last received, says, "hi.
Majesty as convalescent."
The Emperor of Austria has been a.
larmingly i'll. At the date of the last
bulletin, hopes were entertained of hi:
recovery.
The King of Portugal died on the 9th
Of March.
"John VI. King of Portugal, Empe-
ror OF Brazil, was born May 18th, 1867.
From 1892 he governed in the charac-
ter of Regent, in the name of the
Queen, his mother, who was affected
with mental alienation. He succeeded
her in 1917, and was crowned at Rio de
Janeiro, to which place he had retired
on the invasion of Portugal by Bona
parte, who, in the hope of seizing his
person, lost no time in proclaiming, that
the House of Braganza had ceased 10
reign. John vi. while still but Prince
of Brazil, married in 1880 the Infanta
Charlotte Joachima, daughter of King
Charles Nv. Of Spain.
"The Infanta Isabella Maria. who
now acts as Regent, is the 4th daugh-
terof John vi. She was born July A.
1870"
The death of the King of Portugal
has given rise to some specuIations
among the continental politicians. The
Etoiie says" What we know of the
treaty lately concluded between King
John vi. and the Emperor of Brazil,
makes no change in the rights of Don
Pedro TO The throne of Portugal. 1t
merely stipulates that the two Kingdoms
shall he separated after the death of
King John. Now, unless there are pri-
waite sliPulatioDs, and remuneration BY
Dan Dor Pedro in favor of Don Miguel, the
cmPeFor remains at liberty to accept
ior himself ar his son, the crown Of
Portugal in that k~edom. II seems -
US, then, that if there heA beep a ren,n
citation by Don Pedro, in favor 81 b.,
brother, the Regency would have soan
established in the name of Don Miguel:
whereas, ii is known, that Immediately
alter the Kings death, frigaie sailed
for Rio Janeiro"
The Quotidienne Says, There is rea-
son for apprehenslon, that if Pedro
should think of accepting, nr~eh less
claiming, the sceptre of Portugal, the
Braziliaua, who naturally wish 10 keep
their own governing powers among
themselves, would cease 10 acknowl-
edge him as Emperor; that they would
invite some other Prince to be their rul-
er, or perhaps, like their neighbors,
erect themselves into republic. On
the other hand, the election between
the ancient and peaceful throne of Lis
bon, and the somewhat precarious sove.
reignty of Rio Janeiro, may be sub
ject of considerable hesitation, if not
TO the active spirit of Pedro, at least to
his august partner the Arch Duchess OF
Austria and for the dependents of his
Court, who still cast longing eye TO
the palaces, the residences, the spec
tacles, the fetes and the sinecures OF
Europe.

FooTE's LAST JoKE.-When Foote was
on his way to France for change Of air,
he went into the kitchen of the inn at
Dover, to order a particular dish for
dinner. The true English cook, dispos-
ed perhaps TO smoke the traveller,
boosted that, for her part, she had never
set her foot out of her own country. On
this the invalid gravely observed, "Why
Cookey, that's very extraordinary, as
they tell me above stairs that you have
been several times all over Grease. p
They may say what they please above
or below stairs, (replied the cook) but /
was never ten miles from Dover in all
my life. =" Nay, now, that must be a
flo, (said Foote) for have myself seen
you at Spit heGd."-The other servants
by this time took the joke, and a shout of
laughter followed The wag, however,
never reached France. The very next
morning, he was seized with shivering
fits; and he expired in the course of the
day, Oct.21 1777, in the 57th year of
his age. His body was conveyed TO
London, and buried in Westminster Alb
hey by torch light.

INTELLIGENCE OF BIRDs.-The following
fact was rnlatNd at late meeting of tho Lit
erary and Philosophical Society of Liverpool.
A pair of goldfnches had built their nest on a
small branch of an olive tree; after Matching
their brood, the parents perceived that the
weight of the family was too great for the
strength of the branch which supported the
nest-it had begun to yield the provident
parents with an intelligence which cannot be
resolved into instinct, were seen to fasten, by
means of a small string which they procured,
the branch which supported their nest to a
stronger and higher branch of the tree. Thus
redeeming by an extraordinary effort of reason
the original error which they had committed,
and guarding their parental hopes from the
threatened ruin. Lie .4du.

Greece.-By the latest accounts from
