ONE MONTH LATER INTELLIaMCE-TH THE LIQUOR
BUsINEss-HAwAuAN sEGARs-NAvAL NEWS, ETC.
Our advices from Honolulu are to the I'd ult.
Our previous accounts were to June 2. We are in
debted to Gregory s. Co. for the latest news.
The Polynesian is Of the opinion that Queen
Pomare did not arrive at Lahaina, as previously
reported.
A royal salute of twenty one guns was fred, says
the Polynesian, of the 10Th Of June, npm the fort
on the hill, Tuesday the 18th, at noon in honor
of the kings signature to the new constitution,
granted by his Majesty for the good Of all who live
under his jurisdiction. The King and tho Kuhna
Nui affixed their signatures at ten minutes before
7P. NJ, on the l4th inst.
The Polynesiam Of the 10Th June says
The annual consumption Of liquors for the past
two years has been, in round numbers, 5000 gallons
per anpum IL we take this q measure for the
present and future, there is in bond full sup
ply for two ard half, and possibly for three full
wears The bonded warehouses are gu. ted to q de-
gree before known, and much of the supply is
in the hands of the retailers, who have bought it
when very low, and hold it in bond for future
for an export demand.
The following statistics have been furnished us
by the Collector General of Customs, and show at q
glance Why liquors cannot be sold at profit by i'm
porters. The retailers are already supplied, and
the market is greatly overstocked. There is now in
store,
Brandy, say, ............ 600 gallons.
Gin, I,oOO
Rum, arrack, &c.. ........... l,5OO
Total, ....................... 49, 600 C
Wires cordials, &C., liable to duty
of 81 per gallon, ................. $500 g
Because liquors will not sell readily in this market
at profit it has been argued that there is great
amount Of smuggling. That there is some Snug
Cling successfully accomplished, we do not deny,
and attempted that lie not successful is equally
clear. But justified, We believe, in the opin-
ion that the poor demand for liquors is owing to the
great overstock in the market, and more .partcu-
larly to the fact that the retailers have already
large quantity now in bond, from which they re
plenish their stocks, rather than purchase more.

HAWAIIAN sEsARs.
From the Poynesan June IL
From the specimen of Hawaiian regalias exhi-
bitsd at the late meeting OF the Agricultural So
cicty the expectation is highly justified that these
islands will soon become large exporters Of scgars
to foreign markets The size, appearance and flavor
of those exhibited by Mr.. Opitz, were quite equal
10 the hest Havana regalas ard sold at the rate Of
over $500 per thousand Although it is but four
months since the seeds planted, and the segars
require ittlo moro age those who tried them
were delighted with them, and pronounced them
equal to the best. The present crop Of Mr.. Opitz
will make from ls0, 900 10 200 600 segars which
from but three acres, IL large and profitable yield
The number Of segars consumed at the islands is
between two or three millions, Mt a cost of S25 900
to $50 D00 all Of which have hitherto been imported
and for which this amount in cash has bosn taken
out Of the country.
