NoTE OF THE WEEK.

NOTES OF THE WEEK.
R Almost the only incident worth record
during the past week is the fact that the drads
machine has stretched out its dormant limbs
paratory to making submarine explorations in
harbor. The scows with their dirt carts crowd arm
it like q bevy of laborers around a railroad contract
anxious to go to work. The machine looks subs,.
tial, and will no doubt come up to the expectation
all, after q considerable greasing.
- The little schooner Alice, which arrived
week from VancouverS Island, is a novelty. She
built of iron, and has three water tight Gonna
ments, rendering her more safe than ordinary yess
while her sailing qualities are excellent. She is =
cred for sale by Mr.. C1ouston.

THEIR MAJEsT1Es have been spending a fen dr
at Waianae, some twenty-five miles from Honolulu
at the country residence of Paul Manini, Esq. "
are happy to learn that His Majesty's health is ia
proved by the change. He was expected to retu
to town last evening. The 4tk of August has bs
fixed for the departure of the royal party to Hawai-
800 REwARD-has been offered by the Marshall
the apprehension of the Cinnamon convicted of br
glary some months since in entering Messrs. Melchs
& Co.'S store. They escaped from the fort, and a
supposed to be over in Koolauloa. We learn that
clue to their whereabouts has been obtained, aldh
will probably soon be retaken.
- The German Club give q Ball Tomorrow en-
ming at the Courthouse. From what we hear
will pro badly be a grand affair, as the Germans
Honolulu are behind none in their liberality andta
on such occasions.
- The attention of members of the Ag. Sms
and the public in general is directed to the chanst
the notice published to-day. The Address of DrE
lebrand will be delivered at the Bethel on Tuesi
evening next, instead of the Courthouse.
HNEw CATTLE-We see by the Bostsn Culirds
that the ship Ceylon, which sailed from Boston AZ
18th, has on board, a very fine Durham bull anda
consigned to Judge Lee. These cattle are from
very best imported English short horns, and vii
a great acquisition to the Islands. The bull, "B
Jacket is eighteen months old, and cost $780,
ship board in Boston, and the heifer Z" Ruby, thf
two months old, cost the same price, and is in cal
the celebrated English bull /" Kirkleagington," ~
took the second premium at the great national est
show of the United States, in Boston, in OCTOBER
These cattle are imported on account of Capt. ID
Meek, Mr.. Allen, and Judge Lee, and will ms
dIOotOIO uOtitiO u III CIV hpWI
stock. Ifany one wishes to see the difference beH
good stock and poor, let him visit tile c~attiesans
Messrs. Hopkins and Mofitt, at Kahuku, on ths
land; finer cattle than these gentlemen can Sd
raised from their Herefords and other imported ST.
cannot be found in any part of the world. Were
that the distance from Honolulu is so great as TOT
bid Mr.. Moffitt from driving up his best cattle bs
show of the Agricultural Society. Mr-.1@@
sheep are also well worth seeing, for whateyG
takes in hand prospers.
Another place worth visiting, to see fine cattA
DIR. Woods plantation at Kauai. Koloa plants
had previously the best herd of native COWS in
Islands, and their blood mixed with the splendid
vons imported in the Vancouver, cannot fail tor
a good show. ,
The short horns on board the Ceylon are seh
by Henry A. Pierce Esq, free of charge; and we
under great obligations to that generous gentleD' {
and also to Capt. Brewer. for the constant inte'
they manifest in the welfare of these islands. I
