Honolulu, Saturday, Oct. 30, lSil.

BY the arrival of a whale ship at Lahaina
from st Francisco, where the Nincenncs
then was, (Sept 30 we learn more partic-
ulars of the loss of the Peacock. She was
lost about midday, of the ! lth of July on
the north bar of the Columbia river, in
smooth water. Soon after the breakers be-
gan to form, and for half mile around them
the river was one sheet of foam. The ship
thumpcd heavily, and they momentarily cX-
pccted the spars would go by the board,
crush their boats and thus cut off all chance
of escape. BY daylight the next morning,
they were able to get out the boats, but lost
two in the attempt The water had then
risen to her birth deck. The passage to the
shore was perous in the extreme, but
through the GOODNESS and skill of the officers
it was effected without the loss of life. Pur-
ser Spciden saved his books and papers, and
the naturalsts their journals. A few hours
afterwards no trace of the ill-fated ship was
to be seen. Capt Wilkes in the Porpoise,
with the Flying Fish were employed in sur
veyinc the Columbia. The Vincennes was
employed at St Francisco, and a party had
been exploring the Rio Sacrimcnto The
brig Thomas Perkins was employed by Capt.

Mr. JARvEs--By giving the following en-
tract an insertion in your valuable paper,
you will oblge subscriber. Would that
the fashion of 'healhs' and 'toasts' rinous
salutations were as dead (and deader still if
possible) in Honolulu as they are said to
to be about the table of the King of the
French Gov. Cass is not the only man
who has an 'intuitivc horror of such Ger
cmonies.
A TEToTLER
ToAsTs OUT OF FAsHIoN.-Gov. Cass,
Minister at Paris, in speaking of a dinner
with the King of the French remarks:
''The dinner passed as dinners usually
pass, in some conversation, but still more
in the laudabc operations of eating and
drinking. Thank Heaven, the days of
'hcalths' and 'toasts' have gone by! The
fashion is dead, never to be resusctated.
Even in the palmy days of its existence,
had an intuitive horror of these rinous
salutations, when a man could not touch
his glass without popping his head in
his neighbor's face, and often at the risk
of having his nose broken by some atten-
tive friend, whose thirsty propensities
were manifested by the same striking ce-
remony. have often thonght that the
excessive absurdity of the custom might
be ludicrousIy exhibited, by converting
the salutation from the glass to the plate,
and, instead of drinking health or a
sentiment as it was called, gravely eat
ing our good wishes, whenever we began
new dish.

SMALL Pox.-The Nantucket Inquirer
says: We learn, with regret, that of the
five or six natives of the Sandwich Islands
who were attacked with small pox within
the last fortnight, not one survives. The
disease seems to have seized upon them
with extraordinary malignity, and to have
proved fatal perhaps by reason of some
constitutional peculiari,y. They died at
the several hospitals and it is hoped
that with these unfortunate victims of
that cruel scourge, the danger of its far
thcr extension may have also departed.

ECONOMICAL USE OF Coal TAR.-This ar
tlcle, which can generally be purchased in
Cape Town, at very moderate price, may
without much trouble, be converted into
valuable pigment, preferable, in many ms
tances, to oil paints, for wood or iron work,
exposed to the action of the weather. Take
"a quantity quick lime, and having added
as much water as will reduce it to the state
of a powder, pass it through "a sieve; then
take quantity of coal tar, and mix it with
the powdered lime, to the proportion of pint
of the former to IA gallon of the latter. Too
much should not be mixed at once, as when
in a few hours 1t would, itnot used, become
thick. When wanted for ornamental pur-
poses, several colours may be formed in a
very cheap and simple manner--for instance
an invisible green may be produced by mix
ing powdered yellow ochre with the lime and
tar, and chocolate colour by Spanish brown.
A most excellent and cheap roof for cot
tagcs may be made by applying two or three
coats OF the above mixture on common
thatch, and then throwing on the last coat
while wet, dry sand, which forms mass i'm
pervous to water, and Of great durability.
For out-oflices and small buildings make "A

may be so light as merely to support the
operators weight upon them. Cut guam
nifty of coarse brown paper into slips above
two inches broad, and with brush do over
the joints Of your floor with the mixture, and
on this lay slips OF paper; lastly cover the
paper with the same composition. You are
now to be provided with large iron boiler,

OCTOBER.

October has come, the sweetest, saddest
month Of all the year. Its sunsets and its
gorgeous forest how beautiful, and brief as
their gorgeous dyes.
There is a pcnsive beauty in October
days Autumn is now clothed in hcr lowell
est drapery :; the forest leaves are not yet
dry and crisp Nature had not yet pu. on
her frigid aspect, bu, the signing oftho breeze
and the falling leaf, and Natures knell for
her fallen glories soon all these beautiful
things will have lost their beauty, all these
bright things their brightness. These change
full, though lovely scenerics, lend touching
interest to Autumn days. Go into the thick
deep wood listen to the hushcd, deep MUIR
mer Of the evening breeze, as il gently un-
duates the glorious and richly colored fol-
iage look away into yonder vault of Heaven
IN this sunset hour; how the resplendent
hues Of topaz, and amethyst, and gold,
beautifully blend with each other,an stream
in living light across the ether sky. 1t is
the very gate Of Heavcn-and that lone star
seems to be a beacon-light, hung out from
his golden portals to guide us, erring wan
derers, home. We can also hear their best
voices, as they mingle around the throne of
the most High. Whose soul will no, kindle
within him, and whose spirit will not thrill
with ecs'acy on contemplating scenes like
these !-Who does not feel that he is hold
ing converse with pure beings-sl,at he is
'lust on the boundary of the spirit land,
Close 10 the realm where angels have their brih?''
How eloquent is nature ?-who is no,
purcr and better when he listens to her voice
How impressivelv does God speak to US, al
this sweet. sad season. How he lets his
goodness and his glory pass before us. He
makes all nature beautiful, and gives US fac
ulties to enjoy Its beauties. Sweet flowers, we
too, in your ever varying hucs and delicious
odors, whisper the name or your creator
Yc wear the richest dyes, and send forth the
sweetest fragrance, as you are about to fade
and die. Apt emblems of life.
The autumn Of our days is coming, but il
we are ready, like the glorious forests and
beautiful flowers, we may wrap our gar
ments about us, and wait in holy peace, till
we are called to bloom in "beauty immortal
in the garden of God.
