~ Several coolies implicated in the burglary
committed in Nuuanu Valley, alluded to in our last
paper, were arrested on Thursday and committee for
trial. Another who was concerned in it as . princi-
pal escaped on the brig Hero, which sailed FOR
Christmas Island last week. He has already served
twelve months opnthe public works for q previous Of
Tense and will probably serve another term when the
vessel returns. -
Nor DEAD YEr.-Mr JOS. Doe, formerly police
man, who was 50 unceremoniously gored to death In
the last Polynesian, has requested us to say that he
Is still in the land Of the living, Notwithstanding the
's new snapper up of unconsidered triAes-' Nobody
was IS gored by q cow as we can learn, unless it
was the news man aforesaid. but q man named james
Shaw. was thrown from his horse, which trod him
under his fore feet, injuring him.
VIEWS OF HoNoLuIu.-Mr. Burgess has presented
us with three additional views, making five, which
completes the set. The price for uncolored is 81 so;
and for the colored pictures $22 80. A set of these
views ought to be in the possession of every resident
of Honolulu. The sale of the pictures in San Fran
cisco has been very rapid. Mr.. Edward Burgess is
agent for this city.
MARKET WHARF.-We understand that the ship
Harriet and Jessie grounded under her bows when
she came alongside of the Market Wharf, though
drawing only about eighteen feet water. This ought
not to be. If rock exists there, let the wharf be
carried out ten or twelve feet, if in doing SO it will
give deep water. By the way. this wharf ought to
be replied and planked before the busy season sets in.
e By an arrival from Kauai, we learn that the
.Morning Star left that island on Tuesday, August
IL, for Ascension Island. ]. F. Chamberlain, Esq,

lulu not to continue the voyage.
HARRIET s. JEssIE-This ship, belonging to Pierce's
line of packets, has been fully discharged in eight
working days. Her cargo has turned out in the very
best condition, free from any damage. We under
stand she sails this week or early next week for
Jervis' Island for a cargo of guano.
FRENCH TREATY.-We understand that the Minis
ter of Foreign Relations has been unusually occupied
lately in endeavoring to bring the French Treaty to
a point; but unless greater Roadway is made with it
than during the past six years, its conclusion will be
the work of the next generation.
MErEoRs-have been quite frequent for the past
few days. A very bright one, whose head was as
large as a full moon, was observed on Thursday
evening last week. 1t lasted but a moment, giving a
most brilliant light. They can be observed almost
every night. -
- Rev. Mr.. Smith, the Unitarian Minister whose
arrival was looked for by the Major ,.was detained in
San Francisco by severe illness, but may be looked
for by the next packet.
