From the Sandwich Islands.
By the arrival Of the brig Noble, ad-
vices have been received from the Sand
wich Islands to the Oath April
\ The following description Of the OPEN
ing Of Parliament, is taken from the
Polynesian,
OPENING OF PARLrAMENr.--As an
nounced by authority in our last, Par
lament was fromally opened by His
Majesty On the 18th inst, at the Stone
Church in this city.
Precisely at IL NJ, the discharging of
guns from the Punch Bowl announced
that His Majesty had left the Palace.
Preceded by the Royal Hawaiian Insig-
MIA, and sustained by Lieut.. General,
Prince Alexander, and General of Di-
vision, Prince Lot Kamahameha, and at
tended by his Ministers, and the Mem
bers of the House of Mobiles, His Majesty
proceeded to the place appointed, be-
tween two Lies of uniformed police, sta
toned on either hand from the Palace
gate to the entrance of the church. On
entering the enclosure of the latter, the
Band in attendance saluted His Majesty
with the National anthem of God save
the King
The church, which will contain some
1000 or 5000 souls was we'll filed.
The House of Representatives was in
attendance, and when His Majesty en-
tered, the whole assemblage arose and
remained standing until the Divine
blessing had been invoked by the Chap
lain Of the House of Representatives.
The king, in the course Of his speech,
has the following in relation to the CAL
ifornia ''invasion"
"The peace of my kingdom has been
! threatened with an invasion of private
adventurers from California. An appeal
was made to the United States Commits
sioner, which being promptly acted on
by Captain Gardner, Of the U. 5. ship
vandalia, tranquilizea the public mind.
have taken some measures to create
military force, in the training Of which,
Capt. Gardner has been pleased to rem
der important assistance. Such force
has been considered indispensable, to
enable me to protect efficiently the lives
and property Of all who live under my
dominion 1t will be for you to provide
the means Of maintaining such force
permanently, so as that the very de-
fencelessness Of my kingdom may not
invite the evil disposed to invade it,"
During tho past year 1870 foreigners
have taken the oath Of allegiance to
the king, about half of whom are Ame-
ricans.
An arrangement has been made with
J. w. Gregory for forwarding the mails
from San Francisco to the islands.
ANOTHER ERUPTION By letter. re-
ceived from Hilc, we learn that on the
18th inst, a severe earthquake was ex-
perienced on Hawaii, and on the 18th,
a new eruption broke out about tkree
miles to the northward of the one re.
ported in February We have not yet
been informed of the extent of this last
eruption, but if it shall prove extensive,
we shall be informed by our attentive
correspondent at Ililo The last erup-
tion did but little damage, having pass
ed over an uninhabited district, and not
meeting in its course either villages or
cultivated land.
DOMESTIC PRopucE.---Wo have re-
ceived from Mr.. R, Coady, sample of
n large quantity of sugar manufactured
at the Hama Plantation, East Maui, to|
which we would call the attention of
consumers in Honolulu. 1t was drained
in the newly introduced centrifugal
drainer, manufactured by MIR. Weston,
of Honolulu, and is a beautiful article
in every respect. The crystal is not so
large as some samples we have seen
from Makawao, and on that account not
so desirable for refining; but for con-
sumption, raw, we have never seen a
moro desirable article, either Of domestic
or foreign production 1t is dry, of a
bright color, clean, and of very excel
lent flavor. Such sugar, we should judge,
would find a ready sale in any market,
! where the quality of an article was at
all regarded. We understand the crop
will amount to about eighty tons, on the
Hama Plantation, and will be for sale BY
MIR. Coady.
A beautiful sample Of coffee can also
be seen OF our Office, from the thriving
plantation of c. Titcomb, Esq on Kanai.
GALE. "A gale of unusual violence
commenced blowing ON Sunday last,
and continued for about thirty six hours
with little abatement 1t was accom-
panied with rain, and more uncom-
! Portable time TO get about was seldom
if ever experienced at Honolulu Much
damage was done to trees, shrubbery.
fences and houses, and long time will
be required to repair the injury, espe-
cially TO the gardens in this vicinity.
