to native vigor of expression, adds the charm
of polished and commanding action. We
are sure, that none who understood the Ha-
waiian language, could fail of deriving great
pleasure and profit from his remarks and
those who were %unacquainted with it, scarce
" less of the former from his peculiarly inn
~pressive manner The address referred TO
the great and glorious change brought about
by the adherence to the t~ee-total principle
by the chiefs and people generally, and the
striking contrast between the former periods
of wild mis-rule and intemperance, and the
bright days of order and prosperity that are
now dawning upon the kingdom. All spoke
with feeling, because it was a subject that
zane home to their hearts-bitter and sweet
experience, both were theirs-the former,
past-the latter, present. DR.. Winslow adj
dressed the audience also, in some appropri-
ate remarks and bestowed a high compliment
upon the government and people, and also
upon G. p. Judd, ESQ, for the zeal and sue
cess with which he had labored in their
cause. But want of space compclls us to be
brief. A temperance glee was sung by the
young chiefs, accompanied by one of them
on the piano, which afforded great satisfac-
ton to their royal auditors. Rev. MIR. Arm
strong asked the children if they were going
to continue to keep the pledge. The thou
sands rose en- masse, and made the lofty roof
ring and ring again with their loud and en-
thusiastic 'ae." The whole exercises were
of the most interesting nature, and we are
happy to add, gave great pleasure to the stran-
gers present. The procession then returned
to the fort, and there dispersed.
At 4 o'clock, P, NJ, a procession was again
formed at the Fort, to march to the Feast

by double files of soldiers, in white uniforms.
The procession marched through the princi-
pal streets, which were crowded by the con-
course of spectators, to Beretania, where the
