whole number of the church. During this period .
church edifce. costing about $l5.O0O, has also oeen
erected, and the average congregation, as found irom
careful and frequent enumerations has peen nea1.y
doubled. After accepting his resignation az one OF
the largest meetings of the church aud congrega-

by a vote, which, with two prescriptions, wasunanimous
g Resolved, That we appreciate and greatly value
the pulpit abilities of our Pastor, the Rev. j. y.
Strong, that we have entire confidence in his clarac-
ter, both as y minister and q man, and deeply regret
that any train of circumstances, over which we have
no control should lead to his separation from US.

and made a fine appearance. Great credit is DUG 70
Captain Coady and Lieut.. Brown, for the sup FLOR

the company marched to the residence of Captain
Coady. and partook Of a lunchr Toasts went of
lively, but amid the cheers and Ensic We could catch
but one, proposed by : the 9 derly 'ss Or Gap

During the day salutes were fred ftom the Punch
bowl battery. and from the men-os-war-othekwise
the day passed off veS quietly.
More HoNoLuLUM HALERs.-We notice that our
enterprising towns4an, r. Coady, Esq. has purchased
the American ba9k Vernon, to be continued II the
whaling business from this port under the command
of Capt. Bun&us. late of the Harmony. Capt.
Austin, having given up the E. L. Frost to Capt
Comstock lat8 of the Neptune, takes command Of the
Harmony. vthe following whalers also have recently
been put Eder the Hawaiian flag: the bark Fdifh,
formerly british. 81 tons; and the brigs -aatifla,
239 tons aud Oahu, 165 tons, Bremen built vessels.
AN HoDUs.-On Monday last. no less than seven
differeI4 coasters sailed within an hour of each other
for thu other islands. Where there are two vessels
on one 5oute, as is the case to Hilo, and to Koloa,
public convenience would be better served and
owners profits increased if the vessels would ar
range (ier trips so that there would always be
one a Och end Of the route
WAyt EA BEEF.-We notice a shipment to San
Francfco, of two hundred barrels Hawaiian beef,
packed by E. T. Adams, Waimea. It is put up in the
best ri ok salt, and is warranted to be a first rate
article. The Hero. for Hongkong, also tsok some
threehundred barrels Hawaiian beef. It was former
ly t4e case that vessels bound to China took no
freight but specie; our readers will agree with us
that beef is far preferable as an article of export.
5H A seaman, named Charles Smith. belonging
to yhe whale ship Coral, fell yesterday from the ships
hdld, and in the fall struck his forehead on the cable,
seh is supposed to have stunned him, as he imme-
AEspnk. The body was recovered in about half an
ar after the fall by natives diving. He was a
Portuguese, and belonged to the Island of st. Mi
chaels. -
IL The rumor has got about that several seamen
Iboard the E. L. Frost died of Panama fever. On
\ Euiry we learn that no death occurred on board
that vessel during her absence, but several of her
crew, who deserted in Central America, died while
b shore. There was no case of sickness or death ON
GARD the schooner.
TIE LOST MAn.-We omitted, by oversight, to
publish last week a notice from the Postmaster, stat
ink that the mail which was lost on the Central
.aAerica, was the one which left this port July 10,
per Me Julius Priagie. 1t was an unusually small
mai1A -

States nay be expected by the Fanny Major, about
the 20th\p 25tb inst The Yankee's day of depar-
ture is fx1 br Tuesday next. Dsuember 9th. We
