NOTES OF THE WEEK.

- Jack is noted for his eccentrlcltleS but We
saw a turnout last week that went a little ahead Of
anything seen yet in our streets. One of Webster's
best carriages, drawn by a spirited span of sOrreis,
was under charge of a son of Neptune, whose purse
had evidently been recently well filled with the pro
ceeds of q summer cruise. Behind him were seated
two GO gemmen OBJ COLOR with clarionet and fiddle,
holding forth to the evident delight of a crowd Of
g tamarees, . who followed hard ON the wheels, asthe
establishment drove through the town.
lS57.-Mr. Fernandez, with his usual industry
and foresight, has got the start of his neighbor print
ers, and reminded them and the business community
in general that SO is nearly passed and 81 is coming
on. His new almanac, with a variety of valuable
local information, is published, and is doubtless before
this in every counting room.
SrAMPEDE.-A few of our town-people appear to
have become tired of Sc life in Owhyhee,'' and took
sudden leave of their acquaintance last week, much
to the chagrin of those who held sundry evidences OF
Indebtedness from them, which will now serve as H.
teresting mementoes. Among the number was our
late host of the National Dining Saloon, who had 10
idea of turning out soup any longer to his confdiDs
customers.
| - Our friend "Hoc,' who, by the bye, has
ScfcTdI tlutS StTTtu up tn0 cry bones W "
found in and all around Honolulu, has sent us some
very nice okra, which after a great deal of perse
yerance, he has succeeded in bringing to perfection
This fact is the more worthy of record, as it is the fra
time this delicious esculent has been raised we think
on these islands. Okra is the plant from which the
celebrated 6 gumbo" is made-the identical focd Cd
which the original Virginia Minstrels arc supposed"
have brought their vocal powers to such perfection.
The WHARyEs.-When are we going to have mOp.
wharf room to meet the wants of the commerce .
our port ? For years the business interests Of ts
place have been limited to two or three wharves. am
vessels have had repeatedly to wait from one to th~
or four days before they could obtain a place to ".
their cargo. And even theu they find the wharf
SO poor and rotten that horses instinctiyely ar~
them, and a constant look out has to be kept "
entire cases disappear through the holes. But Tx
annoyances could be put up with were there os
room for vessels to make some sort of communeSur.
with the land On piles or otherwise. Witness :"
shameful delay to which the Messenger Bird hasI
tc submit, when the provisions in her hold are wan u
to furnish whale ships otherwise ready for sea-
which must now submit to detention. If the W"N
making more wharyes was carried on with a u"
the energy and despatch which the public me- me-
demand, there would be new wharves below he
son & Co.'S and a good road to them through
fort IN less than four months. We DON ..s
whether it is obstinacy or incompetency that eOA'

EDITOR Con-. ADvERTIsER-Sir AS the circum-
stances attending the loss of the whaleship Natchez,
in Ochotck Sea, in October last, have excited consi-
derable interest in this community, and as some per-
sons have censured us for the action we have taken
since the return of the Harmony TO this port, with
regard to the articles saved from the Watcher, we
desire to lay before the public the following af6davits,
which, We think, viii justify US, and throw the blame
upon those who deserve it.

MEssRs. R.. CoADY s. Co.-Gentlemen Il take a
few moments of time to state to you the particulars
of the disaster of the ship Nafchez of New Bedford,
Capt. Bellows.
In " Potter's Bay at II nj. we passed through a
passage called by whalemen "The Gut" leading
from Shantar Bay to proceed to sea. At this time
the weather was fine. On the 8th the weather was
clear and moderate with the wind light and battling
until about 6 P. NJ, four sail being in sight, about
which time a breeze sprung up from the S. E. grad
ually hauling to the East, and during the night con-
tinued blowing strong from the same quarter. Du-
ring the night we close reefed the topsails and hauled
up the courses wearing ship several times. We stood
to the southwark under this sail until ubout 10
O'Clock A. NJ. when in wearing ship we discovered
land about one mile off, we wore and stood off from it
when we held a consultation and concluded to ware
ship and see what land it was. We made the land
again and ran down along shore until we made Bush
Point, and then hove aback the head yards when the
Captain concluded to go in and anchor. We kept of
again and run into g Potters Bay under close reef
ed topsails. The weather at this time was thick, at
tended with frequent snow squalls and blowing heavy.
AT 8 Z. NJ. on the 9th We came to anchor in about 81
fathoms water, our sails we're furled and we had both

HONOLULU, Dec. 8, 1856.
To THE EDITOR OF THE PACIFIC COMMERCIAL An
vERTIsER.I hasten to lay before the public, through
your journal, the details of the late disastrous ship
wreck of the JNdtchez, of New Bedford, under nv
command.
The ship Watches. having taken 1850 barrels whale
oil this season, weighed her anchor from Shantar
Bay on the 9th October, being bound out of the
Ochotsk Sea on her passage to these Islands. At the
time of getting under weigh, we were In company
with ships Trident and Robin Hood. The day was
very fine, with the wind from N. W., and the baro-
meter gave every indication of good weather. The
ship stood out of the South Passage. and about noon,
when fairly outside, the wind died completely away.
At 5. p. NJ, the wind sprung up from the eastward,
and freshened until we were obliged to reduce sail to
double reefed topsails. AT this time there were four
other ships near us, and we were obliged frequently
to 60 about to prevent coming into collision with them.
At y, Z. NJ, a heavy SNOW storm set in, and the
weather became very thick. By the morning of the
fth, the vino had increased to q strong gale. with i
tremendous sea, and at 8, p. NJ, we were obliged to
come under close-reefed topsailsAship standing ON
the southwark and eastward tack. At abont 6 A
NJ, the snow was still falling so that we could see but
a short distance from the ship, and Judging ourselves
near .he land, wore ship, and while doing so, when
the ship had fallen off from the wind about six
points, we discovered land on the larboard beam
distant about half a mile. Concluding that this was
the N. f Cape of Mercury Bay, we ran some dis
lance along the land, Keeping it in sight, and found
that our suggestions were correct. Continued on
this course until We came to Bush Point, which makes
a headland of Potter's Bay. The weather continued
very thick, and we could see no land ON either side.
When We judged ourselves from seven to ten miles up
the Bay, and under such circumstances had obtained
a comparatively good lee, by the lead we found the
ship on u fathoms water and about 8 p. NJ. took in
SAIL and came to with two heavy anchors and veered
out one hundred and forty fathoms of chain ON each
The ship Immediately commenced dragging her
anchors and we rapidly shoaled our water, until.
when IN Al fathoms, she struck very heavily. The

SHORT OF MGAT.--M. Payen, of the French
institute, has recently published n work
demonstrating that the supply of food in
Fratcr is insuiiicientio the actual necessities
of :hc population, and that this deficiency
prevails especially in animal Notwithstanding
to his elaborate calculations the average
quantity Of animal food ofal kinds consumed
is about one sixth ola pound per diem to
each person! Strange rs this may seem, it
is sustained by the accounts Of reliable
travellers who have visited France. In the
cities and large towns, especially Paris, the
amount of food upon which Frenchlsin
lives is astonishingly small. An Englishman
or an American would starve upon such fare.

The philosophy of travellers has been put
to the severest tests by detenlions. One of
the most decided cases of resignation, is
reported on train from Boston, as follows:

A Coon SIGN.-The Columbus Enquirer
says: The nominations of the American par
ty are denounced by the abolitionists every.
where in the most opprobrious and unmea-
snred terms. Amongst others, we notice
that Senator Wilson, of Mass, u few days
since, at q banquet in Boston, came down in
all his merciless abuse on Fillmore and Dom
olson, as the opponents of Frcesoilism and
the friends of the institutions OF the South.
No biacker sonled abolitionst lives than this
same Senator Wilson.
And Thurlow Weed, the talented, heart
less co-worker of Greeley, Wilson, Giddings,
&C., man of more cunning, and probably of
more political ability than all Of them to.
gether, he, the said Thurlow Weed, Of the
New York Albany Journal, comes down with
perfect hurricane of abuse on the Phladcl.
phia Convention, for nominating pro-slave-
ry candidate for the Presidency. We notice
these little ebullilions Of wrath, to show how
strangely they look beside the abuse which
the Southern Simon Pures are pouring upon
the heads of the same devoted nominees.

The New York Commercial Advertiser, In
an article on the subject of Washington
Hunts position, in which it is inserted that
he viii take no active part in the next Presi-
DENTAL election, and also that the National
Wings will probably make no nomination,
thus remarks on the probable course Of that
party:
"If we assume that there is to be no rcgu-
lar Wing candidate in the field, it mus, fol.
low. we conceive, that the main body of the
National Wings will give their support to
Mr.. Fillmore, as the only alternative consis-
tent with principle and duty. They will sup.
port him on high national grounds, not as
partsans, but us patriots; not because of, but
Notwithstanding, his nomination by the Amer
lean party. They will b" governed by their
own views, without n,'~"tng the American
cause or cniisiing n,e a" flag. Many Wings,

--~Au xtfoii that the gov
crnn,ent WYl'M sac ~ lis hands. They
know him to be sound on the great questions
of public policy, which animated the Wing
party in the days of its strength. They know
him TO be true to the Union and the peace of
the Union; willing to sustain the just rights
of both sections; not willing 10 encrcach upon
the rights of either. In his election the great
interests of the country will have the surcst
pledge for peace, moderation and stability
10 him beth North and South can look with
confidence, to strengthen, and not to sever
or weaken, the political ties which unite the
country.
