STILL ANoTHER.-The cellar under the drug store
of DR.. McKibbin was entered last night, by China
men, and some thirty lbs. of opium stolen A police
man usually sits or sleeps ON the doctors steps-but
what of that /?
HAWAIIAN BEEF.-Those wishing to see a sample
of Hawaiian beef, should step into the store of Chas.
Brewer, ID, and examine a lot for sale there. This
lot of 200 bbls. was packed under the experienced eye
of Capt. Jas. MElee, at his plantation on East Maui.
Turks Island salt only is used. We have the authori-
ty of a whaling captain, many years in the service,
and now just out from home, that it is superior to
American, and the finest beef he has ever seen.
BUrrER.-Our dairy friends on the other islands
cannot be aware that there is no fresh butter to be
had in Honolulu. Most families have been without
any for the past two weeks, and are Elely to be with
out it for some time yet. The loss and withdrawal of
several of our coasters has tended in a measure to
prevent the regular supplies of butter from coming to
market. -
PORTS OF THE SANDWICH IsLANDs-No. 5, pub
lished to-day closes cur notice OF the ports Of the
islands. We hope that the facts they furnish viii aid

California, Oregon or the Mexican coast, passing on
to China OF Australia, can always rely on procuring
cheaply an abundance of fresh meat and vegetables,
without a necessary detention of over three hours, at
any port they touch at. We know that many vessels
pass the islands without stopping, which would have
been glad to obtain supplies, if they had had full in
formation in regard to the different ports and what
was obtainable at each. Copies of the five papers

be had at our Office.
AS soon as we can procure the necessary assistance
or information, we propose publishing a series of ar
ticles on the agricultural products Of the group,
both indigenous and exotic, giving their history,
with the best varieties and mode of culture, to in
clude perhaps the fruit and forest trees.
CLIPPER WHALER.-The fine bark Frances Palmer,
recently bought by Capt. Jas. Green, and to be COM
manded by him, is now receiving her new masts, and
the other alterations necessary to fit her for q whaler
are being forwarded with commendable dispatch.
She viii be off for a twelve months cruise in a few
weeks, and if Capt. Green and his "bonnie bark
are not among the " high hooks when she returns
here, we are sure it viii be from no fault of himself
CT his craft. Success attend them.
ECoNoMY.-There is no place known to US where
extravaganza has run rampant so long as here. Many
live up to their income, and not q few, we believe, go
far beyond it. We may complain of the enormous ex-
pense of living, but few will undertake to curtail ex-
penses. The fact is, good, wholesome, plain food can
be procured here at very reasonable rates. 1t is lux
uries that cost the dimes and brings up the expense
Of living to bankrupt rates. Practical demonstra-
ton of this can be witnessed by any and all that
will take the trouble to call on Mr.. Jacques, at
the foot of King street, at his new restaurant
To be sure the style is not up to that Of Delmonico's
famous place in New York, or such houses as the st.
Nicholas, Metropolitan and Lafarge hotels. But a
dish of pork and beans, Yankee style, or a cup of
coffee and bowl of poi, a la Haraii, enough to satiate
the appetite of a very hungry person can be procured
for one rial. Go in, all hands, and encourage enter
prise, and profit by the example.
THE BETHEL CHAPEI-which has been UNDERGOING
considerable repairs, during the past three weeks.
will reopen for service on Sabbath next. Rev. E. G,
Beckwith viii preach in the forenoon. There will be
no service in the evening. Rev. Mr.. Damon will be
absent on Kauai for two or three weeks longer pro
baby. By the Excel We hear that he is improving
and we hope will be able to escape a recurrence of the
disease which threatens his usefulness.
FEBRUARY 22D-The anniversary. of the birth OF
WASHINGTON viii be celebrated at the American Club
Rooms, on Monday next, at IL O'Clock A. NJ, the 22d
this year falling on Sunday. Washington's farewell
address viii be read by DR.. Geo. A. Lathrop, and
addresses viii be delivered. 1t is also expected that
Capt. James Smith and the bark Taakee VIII he

For SAN FRANCIsCo.-The clipper schooner Re
porter viii probably sail in a day or two for San
Francisco direct and take a mail. She is waiting
for a cargo of potatoes from Kauai, by the Ercel
which was at Waianae becalmed on Tuesday P. NJ.
