NOTES OF THE WEEK.

Honolulu RIFLEs-TARGET PRAcTIcE-This crack
Commanding J. II. Brown, turned out on Monday
last, leaving their armory at 81 o'clock P. NJ, and
marched to Waikiki, for the purpose of trying their
new Minnie rifles in target practice. They numbered
40 guns, and, as they marched through the streets,
their soldiery discipline and appearance, although in
semi-fatigue dress, ELECTED remarks of warmest admit
ration from the lockers on. On arrival at the ground
selected for trial of skill, which was near the beach,
about midway between the town and Diamond Head,
tors to witness their virgin attempt; among whom
was His Majesty, ii. T. III. Prince Kamehameha, Gen.
Commanding the Forces, and a large number of our
first citizens who did not belong to the corps. The
firing was excellent, the distance 200 measured yards,
the target : feet by 5 feet; and out of 125 shots 81
hit the board. The best shot made was by Private
F.. s. Pratt of Color Guard, and to whom belongs the
house. We hear the visionary honorary tin medal
was presented ON Tuesday morning to Orderly Ser
geant z. /. Jones, which was received by him in
his usual urbone manner, recognizing the pre-
scriptive right Of q company to its usual fun on such
OCCASIONS The firing was continued till after dark,
when the company fell into rank, firing a feu de
joie opposite the palace, with the most astonishing
precision, and were dismissed ut their armory at
about ~half-past 8 p. NJ. We have no doubt frequent
trials Of this nature viii render them as efficient with
their rites as the companies of citizen soldiers Of older
countries. - understand that they viii practice
again at target exercise on Monday next

LAHA1NA, August 70, 1857.

LAHAINA, August e, 1857.
SR:-Last Tuesday. August 25th, an attempt was
made to break into a C~hinaman's store, but the bur
glars were foiled. Those who were sleepiog in the
store at the time heard a n0lse outsidn got up,
when the thief climbed up q tree, and &ipamen
where afraid to capture him, SO the f low goSOh. :
On Wednesday night an attempt mas made to get
into Bolles & Co.'s store by a kanaka who was deaf
and dumb. He was seen by some natives to go
around the store and then go away. In q short time
he came back again and commenced attempting to
get in, when the alarm was given, and he was cap
tured. In the examination before the acting Police
Justice, E. P. Bond, Esq, everything was done to try
and find out if he had not ~accomplices in the affair,
as some seem to think he was only a tool for others.
The fellow appears not to be in his right mind by his
actions and from what was proved in court.
see in the Pofynesidn a piece stating about the
morality of Lahaina. There were good reasons for
the town being very moral of late, for everybody has
had the 6 boohoo'' fever so severely that it was i'm
possible for them to get out of their houses. How is
it now Two attempts at burglary and O. commit

The Kalama arrived here to-day, Monday, from
Honolulu, having had light winds. One of Mr..
Tricks sons, of your place, in attempting to cross
the breakers got upset below the landing in the boat;
no lives lost; but the boat was badly damaged, and
the mail bag which was in the boat got a ducking
with the rest, but was saved. Yours, &C.,

MARKET WHARF.-We learn from the Superinten-
dant of Public Works that this wharf is soon to be
replaced by a solid stone pier, filled in with dirt and
surrounded with piles. 1t will be carried out about
twenty-five feet SO as to cover the rock at its edge.
This ought to have been done some months ago, but
it had better be done now than not at all, although
we are just entering the season when it is most need
ed. The wharf, as it now is, is hardly fit for use.

WATER TANK.-Private enterprise will always dis
lance corporate bodies, when placed side by side.
This accounts for the construction of a substantial
water-tank on the dock, which is generally supposed
to belong to the corporation. But it is not SO; It has
been erected solely at the expense of Mr., Quinlan,
for the use of his water boat, which during last sea-
son proved itself one of the greatest conveniences
about the harbor. Success to him.

SILVER CHANGE-Small change has been very
scarce of late. The amount in the country cannot be
much if any less, we should judge, than for the past
few years, but it would seem to have worked itself
out of the way. Now that Mexican and Spanish coins
are disappearing from currency in the United States,
they ought to be more abundant here. Nothing,
however, could be of greater convenience than the
introduction and use of the American dime and half
dime, if the prejudice of the natives against them
could only be surmounted. By some united action
of the merchants, it is possible that these coins could
soon be brought into use.
