The SANDWICH IsLANDs.-News from the
Sandwich Islands, TO May 81, has been
received. The Polynesian, Of April 26,
says -
We learn from East Maui that the poa-
10 crop is much later this season in coming
to perfection than usual The cause is found
partly in severe frost in the higher potato
region of Maui, which occurred about the
goth of March, and cut off the fields that
were the most forward From information
derived from the native growers, we learn
that the crop will begin to come in about
the 10th of May, when they will be abun-
dant, and we hope, cheap. AT present, but
about thirty barrels a day are received at
Kalerolepo, and not more a, any other place
There are six vessels waiting about the Is
land of Maui for cargoes, as soon as they
can be gathered. Ii is a matter of much re-
gret that the whaling fleet could not pro-
cure full supply of this Indispensable vege-
table AMI it is owing, principally, to The
reasons given above. But two vessels have
loaded at Maui for the California market
during the pas, two months.

INTERE REsTING FROM THE DOMINICAN Re-
puBLIc.-St. DOMINGO, June IA, lS5l.-
You are aware, that for some time England
France and the United States have been al
tempting TO negotiate peace between this
republic and the miniature Napoleon empire
of Hayt. Before the departure for the Uni
ted States of the French Consul General and
the American special agent, Loice was Civ
en- 10 the Empetor Soulouque that an attack
on the people Of this republic would be con-
sidered as declaration of war against The
three mediaiing powers but Soulouque,
with his accustomed audacity, has marched
his forces and attacked, in spite of this
menace.
1t is well known, that IL Sououque could
once get possession here, that the whites
and muattoes would be indiscriminately
massacred. A blockade will not prevent his
attempt, as these negroes care little about
commerce, and have all the necessares OF
life, without commerce whatever. 1t is
only the foreign merchants, resident, who
will suffer.
The Dominicans are now prepared for the
last battle, which is 10 decide their fate, OF
put PoItau.Prnce and Cape Haytie in
ashes. If there are any in the United
States disposed to give them help, they will
gain more than by attacking Cuba. The
government will deal literally with all who
choose to come.-Correspondenes Of the Neu
| York Herald.

o. A writer in the United Service
Journal, advocates the wearing of the
moustache, as conducive to health in all
those who are exposed TO night dews and
vicissitudes OF climate. The writer was in
an expedition where many were carried
off by malaria fever. 1t was observed by
the medical officers that with those who
wore the mousache, ii assumed less ma
lignant type. The hair on the lips pro-
tects the mouth and nostrils by rarifying
the noxious air.
Think of this, ye who sport this hirsute
ornament, and We who long to cultivate it'
glossy length, bu. are restrained by pub
lie opinion, and console yourselves with
the hope that there is "good time com
ing" when the popular voice will revers'
its decree that a mans brains bear an in
verse ratio TO the quantity of hair on hi
face.

TURHEy.- The accounts which reach Us
from all parts Of the country still continue
to be unsatisfactory The dearh of rain is
greatly felt Public prayers have been or
dered to be read throughout the country,
calling on Providence for the blessing Of
rain. Added TO this the locusts are rayagiug
the country. The crops of the central pro
vinces of Asia Minor have been completely
destroyed, and it is apprehended that misery
will exists in those parts. I have ii from
good authority tha! the loss of the treasury in
the collection of taxes alone will amount to
upwards Of fI,OOO 900, The progress to-
wards improvement here is as good as can
be expected. If slow, it is 50 mnch the
more safe. A new move towards civiza-
tior is the founding Of a scientific society,
composed Of forty clever and learned Turks,
for the noble purpose Of encouraging litera-
ture and fine arts, The programme has al
ready been published, by which it appears
that prizes will be granted for several BRAN
ches Of science.

A DESTRUCTIVE HAILSTORM

Passed over this place on Thursday night
of last week. The heavens from the ze-
NTH to within few degrees of the West
ern horizon were as black as jet, while
along the horizon the clouds were of a
very light flame color. The wind was
very high, and the hail and rain fell in tor
rents. No damage was done in this immedi-
ate vicinity, but along the Limestone Ridge
in Lower Augusta, the effects of the hail
were severely felt. The grain was badly
cut and the leaves Of the young corn per-
fectiy stripped from the stalk. Hailstones
of the size Of hens egg, were found as
late as ten O'Clock, OF the next day. AT
the bottom of a shaded rayine, the hail
which had rolled down from the hill sides,
was found covering the ground TO the depth
of several inches. The storm was accom-
panied with vivid lightning, which, fortu-
nately, did not strike any buildings.

MEXICAN INTELLIGENCE.

Intelligence from Mexico TO the 9TH of
June represents that the extraordinary session
oil Congress was still engaged in arranging
the financial question, one Of the great Stun
bling blocks to the proper administration of
government. The minister Of finance pro-
poses to appropriate for the use Of the
Government the amount OF the indemnity
destined TO the interior credi,ory, which
many say has already been spent, To
establish a consumption duty 10 be paid at
once for the whole ltepublic. To impose a
direct tax on cotton goods manufactured in
the country, and 10 increase the amount of
circulation and export duty on coin. All
these propositions were refer'ed 10 the ap-
propliate Committee, which has not yet re-
ported. An order has been issned, that il
any of the employees Of Government speak
publicly against the authorities, they shall
be discharged from office. The first who
suffered the penalty imposed by this order
was Jose Ignacio, one of the writer's Of the
Universal, the Opposition paper. The police
have been increased in numbers, and in ad.
dtion 10 their usual weapon, they are armed
with pistols; in consequence of which lat'
! ter, many unfortunate occurrences have
taken place, The increase Of police doe;
not cause a decrease of crime, On the Isl
