concert, and nearly $500 for other objects. From
the beginning of the present year to March Goth,
less than three months, they have contributed $40
at the monthly concert, and have subscribed 500
tor the repair of their meeting house, besides pay
ing 500 for a son of their PASTOR whom they have
adopted asstheir beneficiary, and intend to educate
IN this country.
Nor Is this all. Owing to the broken surface of
the island, valleys lying here and there between
preclpltous hills, numerous houses of worship are
needed for their convenience. In one of these
valleys, the inhabitants, not more all told than
two hundred and fifty in number, are buildirg a
house, which, in addition to their labor in get
ting stone, timber, lime, sand, &C., will cost them
not far from 5000, cash. And yet they have con-
trbuted more than $50 at the monthly concert the
hrst three months of the year, have paid their pro-
portion OF their pastors salary and have also given
Tor their poor. In another deep and secluded ra-
vine, with but little more than hundred lnhabit-
ants, they have put up fine house, and introduced
American chairs, and are now raising money for a
bell. The house in the plain of Kalaupapa was
not well built, and the inhabitants are raising funds
for new one, having resolved to appropriate the
other for school house. Besides all this, the
people are building houses of worship in small
nelghborhoods, that they may meet in them for
conference and prayer, their dwelling houses not
being convenient for such purpose. The members
of the church, entirely of their own accord, have
already built seven OF these within three miles of
the station in either direction. and now at work
on the eighth.
Here is church the foundations of which were
laid only half generation back, in the midst of hea
thenismand in of its darkest and most degraded
domains. The darkness has fed apace before the
light which the gospel brings, the degradation will
soon be only matter of history. This church
makes abundant provision for its spiritual wants,
and with full hand is extended the blessings to
others, which it knows SO well how to prize 1t is
an example to be considered. How many churches
without pastor because they feel unable to sup
port one, or without house of worship because
they think themselves too poor to build one, would
continue unsuppied, if this spirit prevailed in
them? How soon the means would be furnished
for giving the gospel to all the world, if every
church possessed the same spirit of hberality!
And yet who will pronounce. that the course ofthis
church is not such as will give them the liveliest
pleasure in the world to come:

TWENTY DAYS LATER
FROM NEW YORK +!

OF The following summary of intelligence by
late arrivals was issued on Monday last for ou
town subscribers. We publish it in our regula
issue for our readers generally on the other islands
The Steam ship Constitution, Capt. VIM
H. Howard, arrived at this port on Satur.
day, the oath inst, in % days from Sar
Francisco. The long passage was occa-
stoned by unusually foul weather, head
winds, heavy sea, and altogether bad time
for a good passage. The Constitution
comes to fulfil the contract with government
and her arrival during the month Of January
secures the monopoly of steam navigation
among the islands for five years. She is
thrice welcome, and has our best wishes,
and those of this community, generally, for
her success The blowing off of her steam
on Saturday, after she came to in our har-
Dor, was music in our ears. We hope TO
hear it often, and also that of ocean levia-
thans bound out upon the great western
Ocean to the Celestial Empire.
The clipper ship Typhoon arrived at this port
on this morning, in II days from San Fran
cisco, bringing files to the sth January in
elusive. A good trip for the season.
On the lst of January the P. M. S. Cos
ship Northerner, arrived at San Francisco,
bringing New York dates to the lst Of De-
cember, just one month. She brought fire
hundred passengers The Gold Hunter also
brought 200, the same day.
Mr.. Thrasher, editor Of the Faro Indus
trial at Havana, has been tried. The char
ges against him, are as follows =
lst. Receiving letters in cypher from New
Orleans by the Georgia.
I'd. Receiving loaf of bread wrapped in
a piece of Spanish paper, with the day of
the arrival of the U. S. ship Cyane.
Sd. That while in prison his mother sent
him cakes in an old American newspaper,
containing an account of the Lopez expedi-
ton.
The Court assembled on the 10Th, and
consisted Of president, Gen. Targas, and
six military officers, defensor.
Mr.. Thrasher read powerful protest.
The president checked him whenever he
referred to the treaty between the United
States and Spain, her citizens, &c.
His sentence Of 8 years in the quicksilver
mines of Spain, is confirmed.
Mr.. Thrasher was still confined in his
dungeon, but is allowed two hours each day
to converse with his friends through the
bars
Complimentary mention is made OF the
efforts of Consul Owen in his BEHALF and
the statements made against him are pro-
nounced to be malicious.

shocking accident occurred in New York city
on the Goth November. During a quarterly ex-
animation of one of the Ward Schools mo. 26) in
Greenwich Avenue, at which nearly seventeen
hundred children were assembled, the Principal of
the Female Department was seized with fainting
fit in the presence of the Schools and some of the
classes near her, in their alarm, filed the air with
shrieks and cries that were mistaken in different
parts of the building for fire. A dreadful panic
was at once created. The children regardless of
the remonstrances and the efforts of the Teachers
to restrain them, broke wildly away and rushed
terror stricken for the DOORS Horrible to relate,
the doors leading out upon the stairways opened in
side and by the increasing pressure ofthe rushing
crowd were burst out, and precipitated a mass OF
human beings against the balustrades, which also
yielding in turn caused the whole foremost body of
children to fall to the floor beneath. Many were
killed or frighfully injured by the fall, but the
greater number perished from suffocation and
crushing. Nearly forty were taken from the ground
dead, and half as many more were dead or dying
during the day. Sixty or seventy were more or less
bruised, and not few doubtless are deprived of
reason by excess of terror This truly lamentable
affair has caused much gloom and sensation in New
York. The papers are filed with the accounts.

Honor TO woman, she bradeth and weaveth
Garlands TO quicken the spirit that grieveth,
Forming devoutly loves rapturous band;
Yelled by her virtue, now blushingly kneeling-
vigls tend the altar of feeling,
And cherish the flame with holiest hand
Far beyond truths realms to wander
Man will ever mady flee,
While his reason drifts to founder
Out on passions stormy sea-
In the distant future never
Can the heart attain il will
Hope is fckle-restess ever,
Fancy beckons onwrad STILL
But woman then comes bewiichingly smiling,
Luring him back while his sorrows beguing,
Cheering the present she warns of the past.
While with her mother, though humble the dwelling,
Love and devotion her bosom swelling
Daughter of nature and true the last.
Hostile as the tempest rushing
Are mans efforts like a flame
Or meteor through life flashing,
Without rest and without aim,
Never from his bonds delivered
Fantacies that peace preclude
Like the Hydra heads once severed.
Only fall TO be renewed.
But modest her mein, the streamet still flowing,
She gathers the iowrets that round her glowing,
Nourishing them with idustrious care
Far happier thus in her circle shining,
Than he who for mystical love is pining,
Seeking from science his burdens to bear
Strong and proud man heeds warning,
Spurns the heart that would entwne
In his frozen bosom; scorning
Love both human and divine,
Reckless he of warm devotion,
Fearless is his flashing eye,
Rowing DER life's stormy ocean,
Stees his heart to every sigh
But quick, the harp of Eoline ever
Sweetly responds 10 the soft breathing Zephyr,
So throbs her bosom with sympathy true,
When moving mid scenes of sadness and sorrow,
Kindly she whispers of hope for the morrow,
While moistened her cheeks with heavenly dew.
But o man. Lord of creation,
Might alone makes right with thee
Scythia bears warlike nation,
And the Persian bends the knee,
Ever thus through life contending,
Thou with eager haste must 60;
Until Iris stern commanding,
Calls away to shades below.
But woman, her power persuasively shielding,
The sceptre of custom in triumph is welding,
Bidding fierce discord and hatred depart
Thus them our actions and wishes combining,
In one loving form she's gently cntwining,
Ever uniting the bonds of the heart

1t is announced that Kossuth was positively to
leave for New York by the Humboldt, on the goth
Nov. He continues to receive the ovations of the
English people, Notwithstanding his republican
avowals, and the continued attacks of the London
Times. He had been received with distinguished
honor at Birmingham and Manchester, at both of
which places he made long and eloquent speeches,
which were warmly applauded.

| The Diario of 4th Nov. says that the country is
retrogradng morally and materially in consequence
of the existing nsurrecton that commerce is para
lysed prices nominal, transactions null, and pay
ments difficult.
There is employment for laborers and mechan-
les; those who were actively contributing to the
national prosperity by their industry before the out
break, are now compelled to remain idle and await
| the return of peace.
General Cruz, with the forces under his command
arrived at Chian on the 25th of October. His army
is reported to amount to about 2,l7O men, That of
Gen. Bulnes which is at Longomila is 444 strong
and is said to be well disciplined and well affected
No action has taken place between the two armies,
but slight skirmish of the advance posts resulting
in the capture of FIVE of Cruz's men, and the death
of two others.
1t is decided that every citizen composing the
guard is to be provided with musket which he is
to keep always hand, so that at the first alarm he
may hasten to the post of danger.

With regard to the political state of the country,
we can add nothing to our last advices The town

the port of Coquimbo is held by the government, on
Conception and Tulcahuano are in the hands of the

forces of Gen. Bulnes and Gen. Cruz. At date it is
supposed they have met. The troops of both are oc
cupyng the wheat country, and if the contest contn
till after the period of getting in the crops there
by preventing this its consequences will be very
rous and compel the country to look abroad for sup
plies for their wants.
