STEAM NAVIGATION AMONG THE ISLANDS.
On the departure of Capt Howard for San Fran
CISCO on the sd OF August he anticipated returning
in go DAYS with the first steamer in fulhiment ofhis
contract with she Government That period has
now elapsed, and the steamer is not forthcoming
THIS delay may have been occasloned by the long
passage the coast Of the Catherine which HAD az
out 30 days, an unusually long run to San Francis
90 But although not ytl arrived the con'rac! oil
Capt Howard will not Dc y lated Tor nOn'executioh
until the s0th OF NovenlbeT by which day II nus
steamer arrives IN any yofL IN TINS kinedoni, tne
contract will become RATIFIED, so far as the hrst
Stipulation 10 concerned otherwise II abrOgates
Itself We hope 10 see the experiment trieo IN
which Capt. Howard IS engaged ou, Through any
unt0ward event, he does net succeed, we nave Oeeu
assured by peTsoRs resden, here and who nave capt
Cal for the Undertaking that they stand ready to en-
ter into II ri once, upon similar contract Win the
Government, which it could hardly withhold, should
Il be applied for So IL appears settled that we shall
have steam navigation among the Islands, even
should the arrangement no y pending not be carried
INTO execution.

REvOLr AMONG THE PRIsONERs.-On
Wednesday night last the usual quiet OF Honolulu
was disturbed by the beating OF drums, calling the
soldiers 10 duty, to suppress revolt among the
prisoners. The facts OF The case, as we have them
arom Mr.. Psrke, the Marshal, are rs follows About
90 prisoners had been employed on the reef In cut
