Two Weeks Later News from the Islands.
STATES-IBREATENED INVASION OF HONOLULU
THE PLANTS OF THE PACIFIC ETC., ETC.
Vta San Francisco, Panama, and Chagres, We
have received files Of the Poynestan, published at
Honolulu, to the 23d of November, inclusive. We
find considerable news from the Islands in the San
Francisco papers, but they do not give all.
The Polywesiaw Of the 23d, says
AMERICAN DIMES.
We are glad to know that considerable amount
Of this kind of specie is being shipped to the United
States around Cape Horn. People abroad should
be informed that the dimes are not current here,
and that II is with great reluctance that any
amount can be passed of, even their full value
Many thousands of dollars have accumulated in
the hands Of some parties here, and the only prac
ticable mode OF disposing OF them, is by shipping
some loss TO consignees Of goods, but there seems
| to be no remedy where commission merchants
| have been obliged to take them, and in whose
vaults thay have accumulated, because they could
brought here, as they certainly will not il those who
have Them consult their own interests. They are
not current here.
| NEW PLANETS.
| BY the Corsair, Capt. Neal, from Tahiti, large
collection of plants has been received by various
arties at the islands, through the courtesy and
kindness Of DR.. tombstone OF those islands. Among
the rest we are informed by Capt Neal, that he
has anew species Of grass, OF easy and rapid propa-
| Cation, and of luxurIant growth. The species
already existing here, called manenie, is one of
| the NEST valuable grasses the islands, and is
well worthy of more efforts to extend its growth
upon grazing farms; and If the new species intro
duced by Captain Neale from Tahiti. is superior or
equal to this il will prove valuable acquisition to
The islands.

seeds of this delicious fruit AS the planting sea

of them, can obtain few OF the seeds al the PJly

THE EXTRACTS OF THE CALIFORNIA PAPERS.
| From the San Francisco Herald, Dec. Is
We have received dates fran the Sandwich ID
lands up TO the 10th Nov. The Poiynssan of that
date contains a report of the proceedings Of meet
ing held ON the 18Th, at Mauna kiliki, to hear the
report of committee appointed on the LIST instant,
to take into consideration certain Information IN re-
gard TO contemplated invasion OF the Hawaiian
Islands, by an armed force from California.
The following are extracts from the report, which
will be found highly amusing
"With regard 10 an intended invasion OF these
islands, your committee beg leave TO state that two
letters from San Francisco nave been ri .ced before
them. One bearing date the 9th June, lsoO, states,
| that young man Gan acquaintance OF the wnter)
| VINO was passenger on board the British ship
Bamoral, from this place to San Francisco, over
heard party OF the passengers on board said YES
sci, who originally came from sydney IN her, plan
ming a robbery, on or before the preseat fall. The
place most particularly Designated, was the Custom
House in this the city OF Honolulu in the vault OF
| which they understood that large amount OF spe-
| Gle was deposited And not only did these desPe-
radoes intend orcbly 10 appropriate said specie 10
their own use, 10y robbery, but they fully resolved
! 10 murder all Who resisted the accomplishment OF
their designs. The letter further states, that the
Ierscn from whom the writer received this inior-
nation was bosnd to the Atlantic States OF North
America, IN consequence OF III heauh' !.
"The second letter is dated October 8, 1850 and
is addressed to X. c. Willie, Esq Ills Hawaiian
Majos,y's Minister OF Foreign Relations, Honolulu,
end is written by gentleman who Is a resident OF
| Honolulu, and with whom your committee have
been long acquainted. HIS character for integrity,
| ninth and honor needs no commen dalton. lie gives
/ an extract from letter written 10 him by friend
in san francisco, whose Character also stands msh
in The estimation at all who have the pie asnre OF
has acquaintance. And this extract IL as follows,
w.t. Ii is reported that set OF cut-throats in
tend going over 10 take possession OF your islands
(meaning the Hawaiian lslands.) Sen Miller
ought 10 have an English msn-ol-war at his diSpo-
| SAL
THE committee further state that, from the infor-
nation land before them, they do not feel justiiled
in believing that any well organized or concerted
invasion by an armed force Is al all 10 be sppre.
hended from California, from the well established
fact that the government o. the United STATE ;
| weuld peyer permit the assemblage OF any BODY OF
| ARMED me n, within the limits OF her Jurisdiction
for the purpose Of invading the territory OF ma
ton between whom and herself the most friendly
| relations exist, and, IL 10 10 be heped, may long
| continue 10 exist
| s.Secondly Your committee think, however, that
much is 10 be alprehended nom individuals OF bad
character who have already to some extent OBJ
| tanned footing on the islands, well as from
others Of similar character who may hereafter visit
Us, or locate amongst us, whose object Will be
| plunder. Your committee came to this conclusion
from the fact that thousands of desperadoes, at
| frnr Cd Ia world
the eltte ring prospects held out from the discovery
| Of the gold mines, Of amassiag wealth without
labor, end failing m that, are now, and ever WI
be, ready for any scheme, however despe rate, ~
| which they may IN any degree realize chen urst
anlicipaions And agnin, your committee atA OF
opinion that much 10 20 be apprehended nom The
| policy pursued by the powers Of Europe III making
penal colonies OF the islands Of the Pacific. Fa-
cililies for reaching the Hawaiian group are never
wanting for individuals OF an abandoned character
aud laundering propensity, when stimulated ~ the
hope Of gain, no matter by what means TO De OBJ

| With these views your committee viii At this
| time simply recommend hat the foreign residents
| not only oi the city Of Honolulu, but OF the he-
\ waii an islands generally, unite among themselves
and form such an organization as may not only en-
able them mutually TO ptote Il The lives and proper
