SPIRIT OF THE PRESS

Saturdays Enquirer contains some interesting
Information relative to the Sandwich Islands. The
editor says:
We very much fear that our people are running
rather tast" ahead in their confident aspirations
after the annexation of these distant Islands. II
will be well for them to pause before they plunge
into this new scheme of extending the area of
liberty. We have not yet facts enough to Justify
an opinion in favor OF the instant consummation of
the work.
The Mail has sketch of the last lecture of Mr..
Fontaine, at the Athen@um, and a brief editorial
on the mystifcation of the latest foreign intelli
gence.
The Hhig, after some desultory elances at the
Sandwich Islands. humorously remarks that our
Lieutenant Governor decidedly banked his fortune
in not accepting the Commissionership to the Court
of Kamehameha "What golden opportunity for
crowning himself with chaplet What a fine
chance he lost of taking little responsibility. and
by bold stroke bringing these gems of the ocean,
meek yet glorious trophies of his diplomatic skill
beneath the folds of the star sprinkIed baldric of
the Union Perhaps, beside, he may have had the
honor of being the gentleman from Wauhoo-
What glorious mileage that would have secured. .
