is of quite peaceable character. The

A QUEENS FAREWELL.

Sketch from French History. (Concudcd)
In the meanwhile Charles VI. had re-
mained alone, and seemed seeking some
one, and put his hand to his forehead as
if endeavoring to collect his thoughts.
What had at first appeared to be dream,
now assumed more certain and definite
form. Now it was all plain to him that
the weeping female, clad in sables. and
kneeling at his feet, was his child; and
he felt how it must greve his daughters
heart to leave him for ever without his
blessing. With his hand pressed tightly
upon his heart, as if to fix his daugh-
tcr's image there, he rushed impetuously
through the gallery. Twice he mistook
the entrance, and twice he retraced his

were the tears which fell in compass
sion to him. Mr.. Bingham arose and
stated to them Boki's purpose saying,
"You have heard the address of the
chief - that he is not actuated by
unworthy intentions in his undertake
ing"
/ On the sabbath Manuia took in wa
ter for the voyage. Two professors of
religion, KapaIaau and Kaukalu, went
to him, and urged him to desist. He
would not consent, was stubborn.
They pressed upon him considerations
from the word of God. He would not
rhearken treated them roughly and
went on with the watering. The fol-
lowing days they were SO busy in max
ing ready their baggage as scarcely to
find time to see their families, who
were much afflicted in view Of their
departure. The women went about
waiting every day as though their hus-
bands were already dead. The men,
only intent on going, disregarded their
place to place.
Upwards of four hundred embarked
in the enterprise. They sailed on the
ocean. Four of them were members
of the church. Little is known of the
voyage. 1t is said they landed at
Rutuma. They anchored there they
went inland they saw the character
Of the place they remembered Hawaii;
their wives, the fish roasted in leaves,
the poi, the pigs, the large house, the
inhabitants and the blessings of their
lot who remained at home. In leaving
Rutuma the two vessels parted and
met no more. Boki and all with him
were lost. After Manuia anchored at
Nanapua, Erromango,] the island
which they sought, sickness prevailed
among the crew many died and among
them Manuih himself. The vessel re-
turned again to Rutlma, and left twen-
ty of her men there. part of these
found their way back to the Sandwich
Islands some time before this history
was written.
The Kcokoi, Beckett ! was the only
vessel that returned. The Kameha-
meha, in which Boki sailed, was lost;
it did not return, it has not been heard
of. The Beckett anchored at Oahu;
and the remnant of the men went
ashore - all that remained of the eX-
petition and on relating the disas
ters and deaths which had occurred
there was great lamentation of widows
for their husband They walled and
so did the friends, the brothers and
sisters of the dead. Day and night was
filed with weeping and wailing.

the arrival of Lord Byron and Boki
with the remains of the king and
queen, the chiefs assembled at OahuOut
of respect to their departed sovereign
and to transfer the kingdom to Kaui-
keaoul. This was effected pcaceably,
for the word of God had taught the
people to be pacific. Had it not been
for the influence Of the scriptures Kaui-
keaouIi would not have sat on the
throne. He dedicated his kingdom to
jehovah, and used his influence to in
duce his subjects to worship the Most
High. Bok and his wife were APP

After this Kahalaia died, and Kaahu-

to the fort and demanded the guns,

were no guns within the walls they
were among the people outside. Then
BOki was satisfied of the mischievous
intentions of Kalaiwahi, and said to
him, "Arise, tctus go to Oahu" ''That

from that point his way was down

Boll contracted debts even more than
Liholiho had done. lntemperance and
debt came in like a food, and the ma
tiveS were worn out in cutting sandal
wood and in searching for money.
There are no evils in the islands to be
compared to these two, drunkenness
and debt, they are the ruin of the
nation.
Boki's cXertons were not small to
corrupt. the nation, and excite rebel
lion ; but God favored the right by the
mouth of Knahumanu. Hence the pco
pie generally were preserved /; the
chat and stubble only were with BoEi.
Boki was unwcaried in his efforts to
initre Kaahumanu, and Kaahumanu
was unwearied in her efforts in doing
good enacting for her subjects laws
after the manner of those in cnlighten-
ed lands.
Boki and his adhercnts continued to
oppose Kaah,lmanu, to fermcnt war
and disturbance. He was intent on
wealth and display, and to obtain these
he sacrificed his loyalty. He made a
voyage to Hawaii and resided at Hilo.
He cut up tie land and gave it to the
men and chiefs as Il temptation to in
ducc them to fight against Kaahumanu

proceedings reached Honolulu.

resided at Waikiki placing himself in a
hostile attitude. On hearing this Kc-
kuanaoa and Kanaina determined to
pay him visit. They mounted their
horses and rode as far as Kewao.
Then kanaina was afraid and said TO
kekuanaoa, "You 90 on | will return
to our wives and comfort them and
Elizabeth" SO he returned, and ke-
kuanaoa went forward to Waikiki. He
saw there a large collection of men
with guns under the kou trees at Ka-
haloa. No one spoke two men sa-
! luted him, to whom he returned his
aloha. When Boki saw him he turned
away from him, but Kekuanaoa ap-
preached him boldly and fearless y and
stood before his face, and reconcled
him and dissuaded him from his pur-
pose. Still Boki and his wife were i'll

BohD8 SandM Wood Expedition.
Boki engaged the chiefs and people
in collecting sandal wood in the NOUN
tains of Hawaii Even Il part of the
kings attendants were thus employed
Kaahunianu was at Kauai. At this
time a foreign vessel arrived, and one
on board said, ''lf one will only sail
TO islands which have visited, he will
find sandal wood enough. 1t grows
from the shore to the top of the mount
aims it is so abundant that ship
after ship may be ireightcd with it
from one place" From this intelli-
gcnce, and from specimens Of the wood
on board the vessel, Boki determined
to make an expedition. The foreigner
said, "This sandal wood was prOcur-
ed for fuel and 10, it is sandal wood !;
and my men assured me that it was
the only timber growing there from
the shore to the Interior" 1t was
decided forthwith to sail, stores were
procured, and men appointed for the
expedition, The people said 50 is
well, perhaps. But what shall be our
wages for this service VIII you pay MS
any thing ?" off" said hc,''we obtain
n large quantity of wood, and separate
the chiefs portion and any thing re-
mains, it will be expended in the pur-
chase Of CLOTH" TO this the people
res ponded, ''The chiefs debt will soon
be paid, TO ! there is never so much
sandal wood - it stands from the sea
to the mountains - The hearts Of the
people we're inflated with expectation
Of wealth, and they praised Eoki, say
jng, Gle is the chief his kindness
is unparalleled - he leaves all others
in the back ground" Men were anx-
ious to embark in the expedition
none were backward - they were only
restrained by the king. They were
urgent to sail - there was no counter
current the voyage, the sandal wood,
q vast amount, and the buying of cloth.
The union Of feeling was perfect, there
was not dissenting voice.
At that time Boki was in some meas
ure reformed, and pursued vicious
courses with at least more moderation.
Clothing was provided for those engag-
iEg in the expedition, axes, broad axes
and adzes, and whatever else was
deemed necessary for collecting the
wood. Powder and guns also were
Iliberally supplied. On Saturday there
was a large meeting of the men, the
teacher, and the chiefs. Boki arose
and addressed the assembly as follows.
