which she has SO benefcently fostered, and
when they perceive the il%l-concealed Joy of
the enemies and the deep regret of the
friends of America, at the present condition
OF affairs, they are filled with humiliation at
such a spectacle for foreign nations. They
would 'mplore a suspension of judgment on
that nation until all the facts and c%ircumstan-
ces are revealed. We have some %acquain-
lance with public men in the U. S. and with
the generous feeling which there prevails
towards this kingdom, and it is not too much
to say, that although from previous know
ledge some such a result was feared by its

luXurics of life, TO which previous to her difficulties with
the French she had been accustomed abou, her. She is
SAID, Notwithstanding the air of melancholy which care
and grief has given her, to be still a handsome and inter.
esting woman. Her misfortunes have certainly clothed
her with an intcres, in the eyes of the civilized world
second to none which any of her more fortunate and
powerful sisters now possess. Pomare's name and his.
tory is almost as widely spread as Vic,oria's. The
officers OF a vessel who lately called upon her, found her
quietly sewing amid her women.
The French hois,ed the protecterate flag upon Raia,ea
and the other leeward islands, but the natives immediatelv
assembled and tore them down. They are now assem-.
Aled IN full force, to the number of several thousand mon

We had the pleasure of examining at the palace recent
ly a model, about three feet long, of Chinese war junk
brought from China and presented to His Majesty by
Capt. Cheever of the Am. schooner Hannah. 1t Is q
very curious affair to one unaccustomed to the naval ar
chilecture of the Celcstials, Brass guns are mounted
IN the bow and stern on platforms, and the exposed
sides are defended by matchlocks on swiyels, shields
and lances. Both oars and sails are used to propel the
vessel, which is very sharp at the bow and full aft, and
contrary to our models, drawing less water there than
forward.

Rumors Of various kinds are rife about town. We
have been SO long without news from Europe and the
U. s. that the public have become big with expectation,
and impatient with waiting. We quote a few of the fly
ing reports of the day, for the benefit Of our out of town
readers, not v~ouching for the gcnuineness of the stuff
from which they are manufactured. First there has
been a fight between the French and English at Tahiti
this is in circulation among the natives here. Among
other matters, we are told that the whaler South America
has put into Mazatlan, and may soon be expected with a
mail. Com. Sloat was at that port in Jan. in the Savan-
nah. An American whaler, after lying there three weeks,
sailed for Maui, without bringing any Of the many letters
there waiting for the good people here. If true, her
captain must have a most stoical indifference to the news
~longings of our community. Perhaps he has never fel,
himself the want of tidings from "home," Mr.. and Mrs.
Bingham are not to leave this fall for Honolulu. The
former London Packet ship Montreal, Capt. Snow, sailed
from New York early in Oct. supposed for Boston to
load for this port.) Two vessels from Boston may be
expected here this spring. Enough for the present,
