from a situation of eminent neril." The
adage "that il is an i'll wind that blows
nobody good" was well exemplifed in
this Instance. Many unavailine attempts
had previously been made, we learn. TO
dislodge The Caledonia from her position.
until finally the raging element that carried
destruction and dsmav on its bosom. re-
Iieved the Caledonia from her rhraldom.
and gave her The privilege Of walking the
waters a sphere for which she was orr
Ginalls intended. instead Of ohstructing a
spot of ground on which she vas only a

was ofcourse still mnre gratifying. on ac-

SATURDAY, JULY A, 1910. /

Since the arrival of the king and his suite
at this place, we have been gratiied to learn
that his Majesty and most Of the chiefs of
the islands have spent considerable time in
consultation for the purpose of forming new
laws. Those enacted about a year ago,
where they have been carried into eXecu-
ton, we believe have generally been found
to operate we'll Some of these, however,
have a wrong bearing, aud others are liable
to misinterprctation. Most the laws which
were enacted several years ago, as the pub
lie are well aware, need thorough revision.
They are not only unjust in some particu-
lars, but are very defective even on those
points of which they treat,
five are correctly informed, the govern
ment is about to adopt some rules in the
form of Constitution which will in some
degree limit the power, and define the duties
of the king, governors and other chiefs.
The form of trial by jury which heretofore
has been adopted in capital offences, we un-
derstand is to be extended to all high crimes
and to some civil actions. There are to be
different classes Of courts, bat the line of de-
marcation between them we have not learn
ed. though it is said the highest court is
ordinarily to have no jurisdiction except in
cases of appeal.
No person is to be condemned or punish
ed for any offence, without a formal trial in
presence of the accusor, and interested per-
sons are not to act as judges, or sit on a
jury.
Theft, we hear, is to be punished more
severely than by the laws now in existence.
Several crimes, not specifically defined in
the present laws, are to be made prominent
in the new, for instance, Forgery, Perjury,
Burglary, SANDER, Trespass, etc.
Instead of the present unjust form of col
lecting debts, we understand they will adopt
the customary mode of civilized nations, at
least so far as to make the debtor liable for
the cost Of collection Thus says our in
formant
The Importance of changing its policy in
regard to taxation must have occurred to
every friend of the government "A tax for
labor is very undesirable; the labor being
compulsatory, must of course, be very UNI
productive. This fact, we are glad to learn,
the chiefs are well convinced of, but they
have been as yet, unable to devise any plans
by which the people can pay valuable tax
in any other way so easily as by labor.
The Polynesian. [volume] (Honolulu (Oahu), Hawaii) 1840-1841, 1840-07-04

To many the existence ofthe young chiefs
school at this place, may be new. Should
the following account induce any to visit it,
they will find an interesting group of chill
dren, whose progress in their studies, and
pleasing manners would do credit to board
ing school of the first class in the United
States. Among them are Liholiho, the heir
apparent, and the presumptive governors of
the several islands. They all appear attach
