The memory of Bartmeus, blind native
of Maui, who was one of the earliest con-
vcrts to christianity, is truly astonishing
He has been long employed as preacher
and in his addresses he will frequently give
passages literally, from sermons preached
twenty years since by the first missionaries.
When asked where he heard it, he will
name the occasion, year, preacher and text
without hesitation. His memory of all the
early events, particularly such as relate to
the customs and traditions of his nation, is
equally as wonderful.

When the Harlequin left Mazatlan, no
papers from the L. S. or Europe later than
he dates by the Joseph Peabody had been
received. But letters from San Bias to
gentleman here, state that the following news
/, had arrived there. The English fleet had
oombarded the forts on the Bogue, and were
passing up the riverto attack Canton, though
heir progress was impeded by junks sunk
N the river. The steamers, however, were
able to overcome this difficulty, and would
transport the troops. War was said to be

New Years Day was celebrated by the

GOV. KEKUANAOA'S ADDRESS ON THANKS.
GiNING-DAY.
In looking over the years that are past. |
goodness to me and all who are here prcs-
cnt. ! look back to the reign of Kalncha
meha !, and ! look around on the present
state of things, and say there is no benn
so great and good as Jehovah, and no laws
so good as his.
will mention some things which I saw
in the reign Of kamehameha l. There
were three laws The first, Papa, the Sc
cond, Waioahukini the third, Mamaahoa,
The design Of all these laws was the same:
that was, to deliver all criminals from the
operation of justice, by appealing to the ia
vor of the high chiefs. Whoever was pro-
tccted by these laws might commit what of.
fence he chose, yet he escaped all harm. bv
the fear of the chief; we did not at that time
see offenders tried by the judges, before wit
nesses, as we now do Such Il thought was
unknown to us Every thing depended on
the will of the chiefs.
There was also idolatry; we worshppcd
wooden gods and feather gods and all sorts
of worthless things; we then thought it was
right to do so, but we see our error now, be-
cause we have new light. In former days
right and wrong were all alike to us, but
now we see there is a difference. There is
a right and there is a wrong Our idol gods
knew nothing and could teach us nothing:
but Jehovah knows all things, and has re-
vealed some things to us. In this we are
blessed, and to-day let MS be thankful.
UncIeanness also aboundcd in our times
of darkness. Some chief men had ten wo-
men; some had more and some less. so also
those who had property had many women
Neither were the women confined each 70
one man. The law for marriage was then
unknown. Untold evils arose from this
source, such as inlaniicide, quarreIs, muir
der, and such like things all these evils
are not done away, but they have greatly de-
creased. Have they not? l ask you all.
In the reign of kamchameha'I. we were
not taught TO respect the rights of others;
we abused the manned, the blind the aged.
and the chiefs oppressed the poor without
mercy. We did not know then that these
things were wrong, for we had no wise
teachers, but now it is plain to MS that all
these things are wicked and deadly. II
would be well if we had left them off.
In those ancient times, also we were
greatly given to gambling, drinking, and
