CURIOUS CAUSE FOR MUTNY.-The mutiny
among the native troops Of the British Indian
regiments, is said to have been caused by using
pork and bullock fat instead of mutton suet, to
grease the cartridges of their guns. The reli-
gious feeling of the natives is either Mahome-
pork abomination. and the last hold the bull
lock as sacred. The fanaticism of the troops
being once reused, 1t wes not easily quslled
again.

THE PACIFIC
Commercial Advertiser.
THURSDAY, JULY 2.

In ISSUING the first number of the second vol
ume of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser, the
publisher may be allowed to say a few words in
re ard to the enterprise. By some singular law
of fatality every literary and most newspaper en-
terprises commenced at these islands have met
only with ill-success, which has doomed them to
abandonment, and their originators to disappoint-
ment and pecuniary loss. They have, in most
cases, been undertaken from laudable m tives,
and from desire among residents to emf y here
the same literary and social advantages to which
they had been accustomed in the lands of their
birth. But one great source of failure has b en-
this, that the platform on which every such en-
terprise has been based has been too exclusive to
embrace all who desired to participate in its ad-
vantages. There have been 30 many sectional
questions, SO many petty jcalousies existing in
our foreign community resident throughout the
islands, that no newspaper has yet been able to
take the noble stand of rising above these jeal-
ousies and wranglings, and, viewing all men as
brothers, seek only their harmony and good.
The power of a newspaper, when it maintains
it's true position of being an oracle of the public
will and voice, is second only to that Of the ex-
e~cutive. While it speaks and echoes the popular
mind, it at the same time enlightens, leads and
directs it. There is no country il the world
where the press holds such a powerful sway over
the popular mind as in England, and this is
owing in a great measure to the feature of iaper-
sonalty with which It's leading papers and peri
odicals are conducted. It is this feature that has
given to the London Times, in its several editions,
100, 900 subscribers and its most colossal power,
which at times has made the thrones of Europe
tremble. 1t is this feature principally that has
given to Harper's Monthly its 17O, 900 subscribers,
and to the New York Tribune its extensive circu-
lation, amounting we believe to about 225 900
copies of all its editions. Greeley writes very sell
dom for that paper, and though the whole bears
his impress, it receives its currency only as re-
Hecting the popular mind.
The first volume of this paper affords ample
proof that its aim has been to preserve q conser-
vatiye bearing, yet decided and unequivocal on all
matters of gene al interest. 1t will aim at the
same Independence in future on every subject
which it takes up. Government, its ministers
and officers, may err on any measure brought up
for action. 1t belongs 10 the press to endeavor to
correct these errors, not for any benefit it may
derive from such course, but for the public good.
The independent course which this journal has
pursued has in some cases given personal ~offense,
.rt in most of these instances maturer reflection
snf those who have deemed themselves
4ha1n that, however severe
een, the right

The schooner Ycqxero put back to port on Saturday last,
having carried away her fore-topmast while of Diamond lead

sailed ON Tuesday morning for San Francisco.
The whale ship Polar Star, Of New Bedford, which put in for

which the sun could not be seen for nine days. The little craft
behaved finely, however, and kept her deck dry during the en-

kop, and her tender, sailed for Christmas Island at the same time
with the Hereunder, and must have passed through the same
gale.

DIED


On Saturday evening, June 81, at s o'clock, after an illness Of
four days, JULIET ISABELLA JUDD, aged eleven years and three
months.
Her Illness was very severe, and rapid IN its course. The
work Of the destroyer was soon completed, in spite Of all that
devoted love and prompt medical skin could do.
When the dreaded crisis came, we had not to break to her the
fearful tidings that her sweet life was about to close. With per-
feet serenity and self possession, she announced the fact her
self. She requested that the household SHOULD he summoned,
with her uncle's family, that she might bid tht Arewen. The
neighbors too, in whose houses she was ever a welcome guest,
were remembered. No pen can adequately portray the scene
presented in that chamber of death. There lay the dying child,
her face illunined with angelic radiance, engaged in sharp con-
hict with the King Of terrors. She knew she needed a Savior to
wash away her sins, and fit her for Heaven. She had realised
this before her illness, ami had expressed to her mother her
readiness to give herself away to her Rcdeemer. And now,
with simple unwavering trust, she rested in His love, and In that
precious assurance which she repeated, .ssuner little children to
come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom
of Heaven" Smiles of unutterable love greeted all who gathered
around her bed. We felt that &c The ANGEL Of the Covenant was
come, and faithful to his promise stood, prepared, to walk with
her through deaths dark vale"
A. W. y.
Sweet was the smile that played upon thy face
In lfe's fair norn-:n ~chidhood's sunny days
And yet, too soon to realms of peace and light
Thy happy spirit took Its last long flight
The bud, constrained by Natures magic power,
Its leaves unfolding, shows the coming flower,
And ere the summers JOYFUL days are past,
Must fade and die beoie the chilling blast.
Sleep, sister, sweet free from the cares OF life,
Thon'st left a scene of conflict and of strife,
Aud now,by faith, we see thy spirit vie
With happy hosts around the throne on high
We vainly try to stop the bitter tear:
'Tis sad to part with those we love SO dear
Yet hope proclaims, that when lfe's dream is DER
Wen meet again. and that to part no more H. ST.
