To our PATRONS IN THE UNITED STATES AND En-
RoPE.-This number of the Pacific Commercial i'd
u~ertiser and North Pacific Whalemen's Shipping
List, is a fair sample of the sheet we shall endeavor to
furnish hereafter, if our efforts are seconded by those
for whose benefit we have undertaken the enterprise.
We shall not be able always to present the same
amount of commercial news, for during the summer
season, from May to August, there is generally but
very little news received here from whale ships.
Still, as our journal will be specially devoted to giving
ship news, all authentic marine information that
reaches these islands will appear in it. Merchants in
the United States may deem our terms very dear, COM
pared with those of our New Bedford contemporary,
but it should be recollected that all our materials,
type, paper, ink, &c., are imported from Boston or
San Francisco, at much expense, and labor demands
about double the compensation here. We rely IN some
DECREE ON merchants in the United States to support
our enterprise, and we think our arrangements are
such with regard to the postage as well as the COM
mercial news department of the paper) as to give sat
~isfaction to such as may become our patrons. Mas
tiers and officers of whale ships have assured us that
they will aid us in furnishing reports of all vessels
that they may speak or hear from in their cruises,
and have thus far assisted us very much in our
the Commercial Advertiser, can either remit bank
bills or coin direct to us by mail, prepaid to San
Francisco, or leave their orders with BENZ. LINDSEY,
ESQ.,, Editor of the New Bedford Shipping List. The
Commercial Advertiser will be sent for one year,
postage paid for ST so, to the United States or Eu-
rope.

NUKAHIvA, Marquesas Islands, !

SR.-You have probably seen in Honolulu many
of the whale ships which called at this place in the
Spring for wood and recruits. For some months
we have had only the Walter Scott from Edgartown,
Capt Collins, seven months from the United States
on a sperm cruise, which remained here from the
18th to Both of July. You probably heard also of the
loss OF the Pantheon, Capt. Hazard, a sperm whaler,
which was burnt off this island and was fortunate
enough to run ashore in one of our bays, where the
crew and cargo, with about 240 barrels of oil were
saved. This event took place on the 21st of March,
1856.
After a very long absence from home, I an about
to leave this place, but | viii make good recommends
ton to my successor for the blanks you sent for the
whalers and merchant ships touching at this place.

E 4, 1856.

THURSDAY, OEC-4, -
During the past thirty days, since the departure OF ts Id
mail for the Coast, trade has been brisk, with considerable HI
curry for island produce for supplying the whale fleet IN port.
There has been no accumulation of produce. The only merchant
vessel arrived is the brig Escape with an assorted cargo from
Sydney. The entire cargo was offered at auction on Friday by
C. Monsarrat, and the prices obtained were fair. Since our
last issue, we learn that the amount of specie received by the
Frances Palmer from San Francisco was about $4,000.
A sale of specie at auction took place last Thursday, which
sold was 81, 900 and realized a premium of about 81 per cent
The sale had the effect of lowering the rate Of exchange to about
that figure.
We quote the following prices at present ruling Tor staples.
F~LOUR-Stockn not equal to demand. Hawaiian holds hrm
at S11 very little foreign in market 1000 TBS at auction on
29th, realized S13.
COFFEE-Sales at 124c for green 14c for old.
s~UGAR-Auction sales Sic % Gle; agents prices &c 20 &c,
according to quality.
M0LASSES-Sales at 35c.
PROVISIONS-7O bbls Eastern mess beef sold at $1 so
none in the market last sale at SIS.
~CE-Sae at 4c for Manila No. 1; China No. l held at &c
SOAP-Sales at 4c "a &c.
OIL-4S0 bbis sold at SIC.
LUMBER-Stock large-small demand. The lumber ex Post
sold on private terms, not far from cost and charges.
~sALT-Hawaiian 81 so "a 81 rs per Dbl.
WOOD-Am. oak SO Hawaiian S14 to 16 per cord.
EXCHANGE-Ra Rates nominal, 4 to 6 per cent.
FREIGHTS-For San Francisco considerable competition just
now, and rates reduced below the usual figure. We quote 81
"a 81 per ton. For oil &c "a &c per gallon and primage. Very
little Offering for L. S.

keeping the casks wet and when they are handled it
should be done by those who are accustomed to 1t.
But there is another view of the case which is gen.
orally overlooked. Captains of whale ships prefer
usually not to ship their oil home, unless they have
taken a large catch, or the owners are anxious to
have the shipments made and realize on the cargo.
And even when shipments are made, they prefer to
send by whaleships rather than place their cargoes
in the charge of persons who are not accustomed to
take care of oil. Hence this fall, fully one-half the
oil shipped to the q. s. goes by whalers.

Although serious and threatening distGr-
Dances in the Territory of Kansas, announced
to me by the Governor in December last, were
speedily Quieted without the effusion Of blood, !,
aud in a satisfactory manner, there is, Iregres
TO say, reason TO apprehend that disorders will
continue to occur there, with increasing ten
dency to violence, until some decisive meas
ure be taken TO dispose Of the question itself
which constitutes the inducement or occasion
OF internal agitation and of external interfer-,
ence.
Tfis, II seems TO me, can best be accom-
plished by providing that, when the inhabi-
tants Of Kansas may desire it, and shall be OF
sufficient numbers to constitute a State, q con
vention of delegates, duly elected by the
qualified voters, shall assemble 10 frame a
constitution, and thus to prepare, through
regular and lawful means, for its admission
into the Union as State.
/ respectfully recommend the enactment OF
a law 70 that effect.
recommend, also, that a special sppropri-
alton be made to defray any expense which
msy become requisite in the execution Of tho
laws or the maintenance Of public order in the
