From the San Francisco Herald, of Oct. 23.l
PURCHASE OF THE SANDWICH
~ ISLANDS.

The last rumor relating to the matter was
that the American Government had agreed to
give King Kamehameha 100000 per annum
during his life, and the same to the heir appa-
rent, while he exists, in consideration OF their
surrendering their claims to the sovereignty to
the United States Government. Intrinsically
the value of the Sandwich Islands amounts to
but little. The whaling fleet has made them
what they are, and now sustains them; and
which once withdrawn, as it will be, in favor of
its natural depot, San Francisco, the Islands will
only be valuable for a coaling and recruiting sta
ton for our anticipated China and Japan fleet of
steamers To corroborate this opinion let us re-
fer to facts. rrf
All will acknowledge that the main founda-
tions of the prosperity Of the islands must be
their agricultural products yet California is
shipping TO them by every vessel that leaves
for their ports, a considerable amount of pota-
toes, barley, onions, &c. The Flying Dart,
which sailed but short time since, took three
hundred bags of potatoes, twenty sacks onions,
and one hundred bags barley, and this is but one
vessel out OF at least four month which leave
here for that destination. This fact must be a
heavy offset against their official account of
domestic produce shipped, which in 1853 a
mounted to only 1921 500, Notwithstanding
in this amount, a suppositionary calculation is
made charging each whale ships supplies in
gross. UlA
To recur back to the consideration of the
amount asserted to be paid by the United States
Governmental for the purpose ofarguing the COM
plete absurdity of the statement we give the full
amount received by his Kanaka Majesty, at the
present time from the nation, for the support Of
his dignity. 1t is taken from the civil list, ap.

Mr. Seaman, the naturalist of Kellett's Arctic
expedition, states a curious fact respecting the
condition of the vegetable world during the long
day of the Arctic summer Although the sun
never sets while it lasts, plants make no mis-
take about the time when, if it be not night it
ought to be, but regularly as the evening hours
approach, and when midnight sun is several
degrees above the horizon, droop their leaves
and sleep, even as they do at sunsetin more ia,
vored climes. "If man." observed Mr. D., "shold
ever reach the pole and be undecided which
way to turn when his compass has become slug
gish, his time piece out OF order. the plants
which he NAV happen to meet, will show him
the wav: their sleeping leaves tell him that mid
night is at hand and that at that time the sun is
standing in the north tla
