THREE WEEKS LATER FROM THE

BY the bark Yankee from Honolulu, We hav'
dates up to November Sd.
His Majesty, King Kamehameha 4th, hat
returned to Honolulu after visit to some othel
portions of his dominions.
In the case of Andrew G. Francis, q seaman
from San Francisco charged at Honolulu with
the murder of Charles E. Francis, the jury
were unable to agree, and he was discharged
Lee 4 Marshall's circuis had arrived a

Yankee Sullivan had arrived at Honolulu
for the purpose of giving sparring exhibitions
at the Royal Hawaiian Theatre.
H. b. Ms ship Thncomalee, rs guns, Cap

having left San Francisco on the evening Of
the 10th.
Business is represented as uncommonly dull
at Honolulu.
Tho Eruption OF Hawaii.
A private letter, extracts from which are
published in the Polynesian, gives the follow
ing description of the burning Of Hawaii:
HILo, October 18th, 1855.
Hawaii still burns. The great furnace on
Mauna Loa is in full blast. For sixty-three
days the molten food has rolled down the
mountain without abatement. Our Hawaiian
atmosphere is loaded with smoke and grasses
through which the sun shines with dingy and
yellow rays.
The amount of lava disgorged from this
awful magazine is enormous. The higher
regions of the mountains are flooded with vast
sheets of smoking lava, while the streams
which have flowed down the side OF the noun
tains spread over a surface of several miles in
breadth. The main stream, including all its
windings, must be more than SO miles long,
with an average breadth of 3 miles.
This is still flowing direct to our bay, and is
supposed to be within 10 miles of US. 1t is
eating its way slowly through the deep forest
and the. dense jungle in our rear, and Its ter
minal must be the sea, unless the great summit
fountain shall cease to disgorge
On the I'd inst. Mr.. MCulley and myself set
off to explore the eruption, taking the bed Of
the stream, the Wailuka river, as our path
We reached the terminal crater in four and a
half days, tracing up the fiery stream Of the
mountain. In the woods we could not follow
it, on account of the dense jungle.
The burning stream now runs all the way in
covered duct, so that it can be seen only at
its vents which let off the gas. These are truly
fearful We looked down one them, and saw
the fiery current rushing under us, in some
places at the rate of 40 knots. We returned
via Rilauea, and we're absent 10 days. What
we saw and heard and felt, cannot be de-
scrbed.
Should the lava continue to approach US, ]
intend, after little rest, to make party and
cut through the jungle to the end of the stream.
need not say that Hilo is wakeful and
inquisitive just now. We apprehend no per.
sonal danger, but should the fiery ruin enter
our bay, wealth will take wings like an
eagle"
Oct l5-A native visited the lava stream yes
terday. Distance about twelve miles, ad-anc.
ing with sure and solemn progress towards u.s.
All Hilo is thoughtful. We shall send up daily
parties to watch the progress of this devouring
food.
