Mr. and Mrs Sparrow, the psrties with whom MS

refused 70 answer Dumber o. Questions, lest he

never seen the money.

KING KAMEHAMEuA.-The last news
from the Sandwich Islands reminds one OF
Swit's account of the way they conducted
things in Liiput.
The birthday Of the new king was ce'e-
bra,ed with the customary ceremonies. ~
the appointed hour, his Majesty, kameha-
meha III, received the congratulations OF
the foreign representatives at his palace.
Atla o'clock he appeared on his beautifully
caprisoned steed, with his staff, escorted by
the Hawaiian cavalry. His majesty in
high-sounding proclamation. declares that
he will be neutral ain the war now impend'
ing between the great maratime powers OF
Europe,"-which neutrality is to extend a
leapue from the coasts of the islands.
Talk about republics in small way'-h
history shows any greater burlesque on the
doctrine Of The fright divine" Of kings than
that now furnished by this King of the Is
lands, we do not remember it. kameha-

We have no hesitation In recomme nding
"M,nk's American Map" to the patronage
of,he community. We have looked over,
with some attention, copy Of the map sub
mi,ted to our inspection, by the gentleman
who is offering it for sale in this city, and
we see no reason to doubt the correctness
Of the high testimonials which it has recciv-
ed. The map is drawn according to the la
test dates in regard to all matters Of boun
daries, etc. Of North America, and all who
wish to be able, in n moment, to refer TO and
understand the geography Of this portion Of
the world, will find this map a correct adyi.
ser. 1t presents much more in detail the
features Of the continent than any map hith-
erto published, and from looking at it,
person can form much better idea of the
relative positions Of the main body of the
Continent. Central America and the adjacent
islands, than they could from those maps
where the Examinations are cut off, and
placed in an odd Garner. We commend the
agent to the attention Of our citizens.

The WEBSTER EsrArE,-We see IL s'a-
ed that the entire liabilities of the estate OF
Daniel Webster. at his death, were ABOUT
$40 600. His New Hampshire farm'
which was lately sold for $4,000, toge'h-
er with his Mansfield and other property
would probably yield twenty-five cents on
the dollar.
We are not disposed 10 dispute the cor
rectness of those who hold that Congress
has no more right nor power to Fay 'he
debts or deceased Webster than those OF
any other individual who died insolyent'
but it certainly is to be regretted that the
name of u man who was unquestionaoiy
possessed of the greatest intellect ever nur-
tured in the new world, should be lett AZ
the mercy of disappointed creditors, and 9TH
