FROM THE SANDWICH IsLANps.-From our hle
of the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser we CLEAN
the subjoined items of interest:
On the 10Th Of May, King Kamehameha received
the American missionaries at the palace, and
during the interview a beautiful Bible was pre-
sented to him from the American Bible Society,"
which has lately prepared an edition of the Bible
to be presented to each Of the sovereigns Of the
world.
WIN. l.. Lee, Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, died Of consumption on the 2sth of May
He was from Sandy Hill, New York. Elisha H
Allen, formerly Of Maine, has been appointed to
fill the vacancy.
The Privy Council, at a session held on the LIST
day of June, ordered " That all Chinese Coolies
found about the city, having no honest means of
livelihood, shall be arrested as vaSrants.n Also,
GO That all Chinese Coolies found prowlinp about

The schooner I" Mannokawai," Capt. Patty, had
returned from an exploring expedition, consid-
cradle portion of the time of which was occupied
in looking after islands and banks which do not
exist or are enormously marked upon Blunt's
charts. Among these arc Polland's, Neva, Bun
ker's and Massachusetts, Islands. Laysan Island
they discovered to be " literally, covered with
birds; at a low estimate there 10000. Seal,
turtle aud fish were numerous on the beach, and
might be easily taken These animals were evil
IDENTIFY unaccustomed to the sight Of man, as the
seal and turtle would scarcely move at the APP
proach Of the explorers, and the birds were SO
tame and plentiful that 1t was difficult to walk
without stepping upon them. The gulls lay
enormous large eggs.
Some months since, an Irish gentleman named
Monserrat. carrying on the auction business at
Honolulu, attended a State ball, where he in
dulged in familiarities with royal princess, far
less satisfactory 10 her brother the King than to
the romantic and not over prude young lady
The King ordered him to leave the Islands, and
the order was Obeyed but he soon after returned
The King, fearing that his presence would cause
renewal Of the disgraceful conduct of the royal
hirt, again ordered the Hibernan TO leave This
he refused 10 do.
On Wednesday, May 10th, Mr.. Monserrat was
given to understand that he would be allowed to
remain in Honolulu long enough TO settle up his
affairs, and would, for that purpose, be granted
his liberty on parole, which, however, was de.
clined. 1t became necessary for His Majesty to
sentence him, which was done at 2 O'Clock on
Thursday morning. 1t was very brief, and sim
ply sentenced the prisoner to perpetual Danish
ment, not to return to this Kingdom under penalty
Of death. -.
At half past 3 o'clock Of the same day, Monser-
rat was put on board the clipper Yankee Blade,
for San Francisco. His majesty, King Kameha-
meha, sent Monserrat one hundred dollars, that
ne might not say he was sent on without means.
This he declined, however. In the cabin Mr.. nj.
appeared quite overcome, especially when his
friends left him and returned to port
The FIRST railroad constructed in the kingdom
was built and put into operation on the 26th May.
Though at present only couple of hundred feet
in length, II will not be long before II will be
tended to the old fort. ..a..s....- |
