OUR NEW DRESS.

The Reporier this week, pays its usual visit,
clad in an entire new suit. The change, is one,
which we presume, will be agreeable to our rca-
dcrs TO keep pace with the times, and par
ticularly with the new terms we have adopted,
We have procured, at considerable expense new
type, of convenient size for reading matter,
and for advertisements, smaller than we have
been using, to make them occupy less space.
This is but one OF the many improvements
VIC design making in the Rcporter to give the
Dolar-in-ndrance system fair trial Having
pay for every paper we send, we shall endeavor
to have it welcome visitor to every fireside.
In the meantime, We invite and expect the CO
operation of our friends throughout the Coun-

to our list of subscribers. 1t would be very
easy for every subscriber TO persuade some

THE SANDWICH IsLANDs.-The news from
the Sandwich Islands, received by the star Of
the West, is to the 18th December. The most
important intelligence is the death of King
Kamehameha, at the age Of Al years and nine
months His death it is thought will prove
fatal to the annexation project so nearly con-
sumated. He is succeeded by Prince AleXan-
der Liholiho, his nephew, a young copper-color-
cd gentleman of some education, who assumes
the title of Kamehamcha ". Prince LiholihO
and his brother visited this country several
years ago with DR.. Judd After visiting
several cities they went to Europe. While in
this country the present king was not allowed
to sit at the supper table with the other pas
scngers on board Of "a Sound steamer, on
her passage between New York and Boston,
in consequence of his color This incident, it
is said, had such an effect on the mind of the
Prince that he refused to join the annexation
policy Of his uncle

The KINNEY ENPEDITION.-SecretaryM Marcy
is said to have Informed Col Kinney that there
is no present intention upon the part Of the
President to issue proclamation against his
expedition. \ Washington letter to the New
York Times says
The most energetic and perScvcring efforts
of parties in the Nicaragua Transit interest
have failed to convince our Government there
are any reasons why the Kinney Expedition
should be interfered with, and prevented from
leaving our shores 1t is true the parties 90
ing out are organized into companies, and are
armed. This their leader boldly proclains-
But he denies that this organization and arm
inc are for any other purpose than sclf-preser-
vation. Parties similarly armed and organiz-
ed are made up to cmigrate to Kansas and Ne
braSka, or to Oregon; and many parties Of en-
igrants from the Old World, especially from
Germany, come over to this country similarly
organized. The hostile intent of an armed par
ty must be shown ere it can be checked as an
armed expedition in violation of our neutral
ity laws. No reasonable proof Of such hostile
intent have been furnished. the executive yeFY
properly refuses to interfere with kinneys en-

TIE MONEY MARKEr-At Philadelphia
money matters are evidently getting much east
er, as may be inferred from the improvement
in the Stock operations, and in the negotiation
of loans at the Exchange y far more cheer
full feeling has pcrvadcd all business classes with
the first signs Of returning confidence, cngen-
dering hope although the merchants are doing
very little business, and manufacturing is near
" at a stand.
At Boston, money, the grand lever which
gives vitality to the stock market and moves it
up or down, as the case may be, has at last
become comparatively easy, which, together
with the increasing strength of public conf
dence, has caused a marked change in stock
matters, and very general advance i'll current

Mr.. CHASE concludes his letter by saying
that Senator SANDERsoN, and other gentlemen,

in yesterdays debate in the House, on the bill

squarely with the dilemma of the existing
anomaly which the affairs of the MormonS

evident disposition to shrk the isues which
Mormondom has brought on the General Gov

breaking up of the territorial government OF

other Territories, and California laying ada
cent to Utah, SO that the city of Salt Lake
shall actually stand in New Mexico, California,
