$50 tons of sugar. The large iron mill,
which came by the Gloucester can turn out
four tons of sugar daily; when this with the
two others that have been recently imported
have been set up, and sufficient land cultiva-
ted to keep them supplied with cane, they
with the others already here will be able to
manufacture eight tons or more, daily, and
turn out upwards of one thousand tons year
y. In addition to this, the silk business in
certain places bids fair to yield handsome re-
turns, as does also the coffee. Two mills
for extracting the kukui oil, and cotton gin
capable of cleansing 400 lbs. daily have been
recently imported; the former of which are
destined for koloa, Kauai, where they will
speedily be put up. Thus we have the pros
pect of having the amount Of exports more
than quadrupled, while profitable employment

The success and increase then of the COM
mercia business depending so much upon

all should appreciate its value, and not in
the attempt to accumulate money too fast,
fall into the greater error of eglecting those
interests, upon the basis of which their own
prospects will depend. The recent mercan-
tile catastrophes in the United States, show
conclusively the folly and sad effects of over
doing trade, while the farming interests dur
ing that period have prospered.

len prey to the harpoon. The males
swim in schools until they are about three
fourths grown, when they separate and
seek their prey upon the ocean alone
The difference between them and the fc-
male droves is evident and striking from
the fact that when one of their number is
struck it is left to its fate, scarcely an i'll
stance being known of its companions
having " heaved to-" They are cunning
and shy, and accordingly are more diff
cult to take, as from their vigor and activ-
ity, great despatch is necessary in order
to give them no opportunity to recover
from the terror and fright occasioned by
the blow of the harpoon. One single cir
cumstance may here be mentioned, that
the whale, both great and small, appears
to have the power of communicating intel
ligence to its kind when any danger APP
proaches, for the distance of four, five, or
even seven miles but the mode in which
this is done has never been ascertained.
We shall not here enter into descrip-
ton of the &" hn-back" whale, an animal
of larger size than the sperm, but so UNI
certain and active in its motions as to
eludc the most expert whale fishermen.
The Fright whale" another species,
which, with the sperm whale, constitutes
the most prominent staple of our whale
fishery, we have considered. 1t is similar
in its general form to the sperm, and pos
sesses the same general habits, although
the oil extracted from it is of inferior
quality. There are also other species,
such as the razor-back, the broad-nosed
whale, and the beaked whale, and species
of smaller kind, to which we shall mere
ly allude.
The wide domain of the ocean is the
home of the whale. and we find it spout
ing in every latitude of the sea, from the
icebergs of Greenland to the African
coast. 1t is admitted, however, that the
sperm whale is seldom seen in the colder
attitudes, combining itself to the more gen
ial climates, while the Greenland whale,
which is of extraordinary size, appears to
delight in tumbling among the mountains
of ice which float in the region of the
north pole. We find the whale fisher
men hurting the harpoon upon the coast
of New Zealand, as Mell as New Holland,
near the shores of Peru and Madagascar,
Chill and California; Japan and the China
Sea, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.
1t is indeed not unusual for the whaling
ships from our American ports to ransack
the world for their gigantic prey, entirely
circumnavigating the globe, although the
enterprises of the British whale fishermen
are directed more particularly to the coast
of colder climates,

THE POLYNENIAV.
Honolulu, Saturday. Jane 2j, 1871.

A rage for opening shops seems to have
taken hold of the good people of this town,
and has been carried to such an extent that
there is now scarcely a street or avenue but
what can boast its house of merchandise -
Trades, however lucrative, are deserted to
fill the mercantile ranks. As far as this is
the result of real increase of business in
the place, supply in proportion only to the
demand, we rejoice at it, and wish these en-
terprises all success But the query arises
is it so? fnot, it will result either in We
ry general reduction of profits, to such an
extent as to drive from the business the
smaller dealers, those who perhaps have en-
barked their all in it, or else produce COM
petition destructive of the best interests of
all. Every one will allow that unless there
can be great and permanent increase of
exports, there will be but little encourage
ment for business in future. The visit of the
Exploring Squadron gave vigorous but
transient impulse to the business of the place.

ton among the natives. But if business

The United States Exploring Squadron,
though fitted out as peaceful expedition,
and with small ornaments, has done more
fighting and been engaged in more contests,
than probably the remainder of the navy
for the last ten years. At the Fiiis from 10
to 100 men were killed on the part of the
natives, at the Kings Mill group, from 70
to 2O-and at the Samoa, several villages
were burnt. Besides these many petty at
tacks have been repulsed without any known
loss of life.
Many individuals in the United States may
be inclined from ignorance of the character
of savages, to condemn these acts as cruel
and unnecessary, but those acquainted with
all the circumstances, will consider them
proper, and called for by the treachcrous
disposition of the natives themselves. It
has been found in every case, by those who
have had to deal with them, that forbearance
was attributed to fear, and served only to
prompt them to fresh attacks, and that the
only way to secure good treatment, was by

were surprised and massacred in the most
treacherous manner, and while apparently
on the most friendly terms with the murder
ers. Such would have been the fate of ev-
cry man IN the ships, could the natives have
compassed their designs; consequently the
only resource was to teach them a severe
lesson by bringing upon them the fate thew
designed for others. On every occasion
when opportunity offered, the natives have
been treated in the most favorable manner

to secure for all future visiters, kind treat
ment from them in return. But wberever
the natives have been found in their orioinal
state, unchanged by intercourse with Gor-
e'gners, or unblessed by the efforts of mis-
slonarIes, their disposition has ever been the
same. Governed but by fear or selfish mo.
t'ves OF personal interest, they never let slim
an opportunity of theft, which often led 70
worse crime. Even the inhabitants Of rho
low coral islands, who apparently had never
before seen white man, and while trem-
bling from fear, attempted to Worship their
