we shall depend more and more on San Francisco.
The reason is obvious where goods can be OBJ
tanned cheapest, and the orders filed quickest
when wanted, they will be procured. This is the
reason why some of our merchants now visit San
Francisco by every packet to procure supplies and
fresh stocks.

s.. FRox MARaAR1rA BAY.-By the arrival, on the
| 25th. Of the American sloop Jose CGserd, we learn
| that the bark Frances Palmer, Capt. J. M~ireen'
af this mort. had taken 275 barrels of sperm oil
which is q very good catch, as she had been on tne
ground only q few weeks. At the same rate capt
Green will be back oy December, with the looo BAR
rels of sperm oil which he promised to oring IN.
The only other vessel reported by this arrival 70 the
yNarv finn, which has taken about l5O bbls. sperm
and 100 whale since leaving this port in May. Inc
Jose Casera is only seventeen and q half tons Dur
then-rather a small craft to cross the Pacihc-ous
she made the run from Margarita Bay to this port,
1900 miles, in eighteen days. She is for sale.
The MArLs.-The long intervals which have
elapsed between the receipt OF mails from the united
States during the past few months, is a cause OF gen.
eral regret, and has probably exerted some influence
in creating the unusual stagnation in business. This
irregularity has been felt more since the Withdrawal
of the Frances Palmer from the route. Unless
some vessel arrives soon with a mail. the Fanny
Major viii bring three mails. those of june 9th and
10Th and July 9th, making an avalanche of mail
matter. The +. M, it is expected, will touch at
Lahaina on her passage down, t0a freight and
passengers which she will have at Port. We
shall look for her about the 10th t6aeeh of August.
SUPREME CoURr.-The .Nfle case was brought up
again for trial on Monday last, and a new jury
empaneled. The testimony closed on Tuesday after
noon, and yesterday was occupied in summing up.
No new testimony has been brought forward since
the last trial. - inry retired early last evening, but
up to seven O'clock morningh had not been able to
agree on a verdict, and~ kcfU sea1im P.6-

II Three numbers of the Commercial have lrsen
issued since the departure of the last mail by the
Julius Pringle, ON the 10th, viz; dates of July 16,
% and so. They can be procured at our counter, in
wrappers for mailing. Another mail may not leave
before the first of September.
- The p~ost-ofice has been recently ENLARGED by
the addition of a room, fifteen feet square in the rear.
This enlargement has been found necessary to assert
the heavy mails which now arrive. The Yankee
brought between forty and fifty bushels of mail mat
ter, and the Fanny Major will probably bring a still
larger quantity.

SIR:-While your correspondents are all on the
subject of schools and colleges, will You allow
ask through your columns a few plain questions? /
hone that some of those who have the means of ac-
curing correct information will have the goodness to
answer them plainly.
LIST. What is the sum total of the school tax col
lected each year from all the male Inhabitants, native
and foreign, above the age of sixteen who are as
sessed at two dollars each all over the islands, and at
a much higher rate in Honolulu.
ID. What becomes of the money so collected (?
(The natives are taxed in the country places for the
support of the schools in the particular districts in
which they reside.)
Sd. What amount of useful information can be ac-
ouired in the native schools under the present system
of management, or, in plain English, do they get the
worth of their money.
4th. Why can't that model paper, the Haze Ha-
poii, issued from the Office of the President of the
Board of Education, publish once a year a full and
detailed statement of the money received and expend-
ed for each district, which would be quite as interest
ing to the natives as the wars or invaslons OF William
the Conqueror, &c., besides indirectly giving them a
lesson in honesty by showing them that moneys re-
ceived in trust for any. purpose ought to be accounted
for.
9Th. Is it true that when there was a treaty of an
nexatlon drawn up by Whlcn tnese lslahus WERE "
have been sold to the United States Government, there
was a clause inserted, by which Uncle Sam was to
give twenty-five thousand dollars a year for a college
here:
9th. Was Punahou School, which was then an ex-
elusive establishment to which native boys would not
be admitted, suddenly promoted to the rank of a COL
lege, in order to be ready to receive the twenty-five
thousand dollars a year:
-+b Wbou oppaxation waS considered as about to
take place Immediately, was the resignation of Rev.
Mr.. Dole accepted, and was the master of the Royal
School suddenly promoted to the Presidency of the
College with any view to the twenty-five thousand
dollars a year
Sth. Is there any honest intention of allowing ma
tive boys to participate in the benefits of the college !

s,r.;t however. to which the defenders OF the : va

is to be disrespectful in the first degree, and to DC
classed in the same category of odenses as drunken
ness, libertinism, infdelity. Such, at least, is the
voice of history and such is Contemporary evidence.
Strict Justice and q regard for my own character

GUS fault committed by the editors OF the .adrertaser
in endeayoring from outside information, not founded
on. or relevant to, the article under review, to indi-
cate the personal identity of Mr.. .Magisfer. TINS
is radically wrong. Mr.. NJ. appears in the character
of a literary sweep, and the editors had their choice
whether to admit him or not; but if they did admit
him, they clearly had no right, by any critical canon
that I am aware of, to wash his face while passing
through their premises, or to reveal that they knew
lore of him personally than he choose to make
known of himself Mr.. M. has now the vantage
ground of being :. a victim of misplaced confidence
and. with the talent displayed in his article, he will
hardly fail to follow the Satirist's advice:

NOTES OF H WEEK.

Honolulu is convalescent = recovering slowly
from the indisposition caused by the attack Of inAu-
enza. 1t is fortunate that our epidemics, when they
do come, which is rarely, visit as in the summer
months when people have more leisure to take care Of
themselves than at other seasons when BUSINESS is
brisk. Very few foreigners have escaped the infu-
enza, whilst among the natives we may say none have
escaped. We are happy to say thst no deaths have
occurred from the epidemic, which has now nearly
passed off. -
LAHAINA.-Our adyices from Lahaina state that
the influenza had reached that lace, and the native
population has been attacked pretty generally. There
are few foreigners now in the place, most of them be-
ing absent on excursions.

The EPIDEMIC AMONG CATTLE.-Weunderstand that
the epidemic has shown itself among cattle. 1t is nc
unusual circumstance for cattle, horses and sheep te
be affected with colds or catarrh. In Australia it is
very common, and during some sickly seasons, large
numbers of animals are lost from this disease. We
hope however that it will not prove fatal among them
on these islands.

REFORM IN ENGLAND.

The London papers by the last Liverpool steamer
contain Lord Palmerston's speech in the House Of
Commons after the address in reply to the Queens
speech had been voted. Mr. Roebuck, it appears,
gave notice that he should future day offer a
resolution 'that in the opinion of this House. the
representation of the people is not in satisfactory
condition and the attention of Parliament ought, on
the first opportunity, to be applied to the subject
for the purpose of making this House correct rep
resentntion of the feelings and interests of the
ple'' Lord Palmerston in the course of his remarks,
made promise to introduce a reform bill next ses-
sion, which induced Mr.. Roebuck TO withdraw his
notice OF notion as he did not wish to "intcrfere
Gle in his way Lord Palmerston's promise was as
follows
Considering the short period this Parliament could
sit and the number of to be introduced, it
necessary the House should in discussing parliamentary
reform, consider that practical good could rcu from
it. 1t would unsettle peoples minds, and embaass the
government in another session In the the govern
ent intended consider the question: and it would be
impossible for him then to make amy statement OF affairs
relative 10 the views of government He felt it would
be the duty of the government to give it serious consider
ation and in the following session they would be able to
produce for the extension of the franchise, by
giving it to those who did not then possess it. That
would he thought, be satisfactory to the people. He
asked tho people to place confidence in the government
and wait till next session if they would not why then
the country had better put others in the place of the
present ministers -

COLONIZING VIRGINIA.

In q late number of the Providence Post we find
some sensible remarks in relation to Eli Thayers
proposition to settle the uncultvated portions of
Virginia with emigrants from the northern States.
The plan is not new one. To quote from the Post
at is as old as the Kansas movement; and was
openly talked in this and other cities when the Mas
sachusetts Emgrant Aid Society first sent agents
into the field to solicit subscriptions to their stock
These agents told that after settling Kansas they
were going to settle Missouri and after Missouri,
Virginia; and after Virginia other slaveholding
State. They were going to redeem the lands, and
the people also. They would establish industry,
and abolish slavery Tho Post then pointedly
adds;
while 1t must be admitted that there is good deal
of uncutyated land in Virginia, including many thou
sands of which have been impoverished by the
slant growing of tobacco crops il is yet true that the
State is wealthy-that its people enterprsng and
that Just this time the kind of labor employed there
is far more profitable than it has been in years gone by
The wealth of the State has increased to the amount Of
aSoE one hundred millions of dollars In the last six years
The population has increased The mechanic arts have
prospered and conperce has been extended There is
less room for Yankee entease than there was ten or
twenty years ago
