DROWNED IN A SINGULAR MANNER.-At st. John,
b.. on Friday night, 1t being very dark, man
named Archibald Brown walked off one Of the
wharves when the tide was out. lie CROPPED his
way along in the mud, but instead of taking
course that would extricate himself from his
pleasant predicament. he wandered up among the
spiles beneath the wharf, where, of course. be be-
came more bewildered than ever. The rising tide
made him conscious of his danger, aud by shouts
and noise he was enabled to attract the notice OF
persons passing in the vicinity, but too late for
succor. As the tide rose he climbed to the top of
the spiles. and through a small aperture in the
wharf sufficient to admit one of his arms he
enabled 10 infirm them Of his situation. His posi-
ton and feelings can be imagined when the water
every moment rising around him, and he
could not be extrcAtsd. He shook hands with his
friends, passed through the hole all the money and
valuables he had about his person, and just the
water closing over him. after giving d.
rections concerning his family, he bid his friends
good bye. and the gurglng water beneath
nounced that all was His body was recovered
when the tide receded.

RICHMOND, Nov 9Th. 1857.
EDsroR RICHMOND DfspATca: In your issue OF yes
terday, You speak of the appointment OF some ART
list TO succeed the distinguished Crawford In com
plotting the Washington Monument would re-
specifically suggest that we have an artist ID our
own city who IL entirely competent to the work IN
question. I alude TO Mr.. VIM. J. HUBBARD whose
bronze copy Of Houdon's Washington was executed
for the State and adorns the grounds OF the NH,
tary Academy at Lexington. This statue, as Wen
"a the one in the city Of Raleigh, ordered by the
Legislature OF North Carolina. has received the
unqualified admiration Of all who have seen IT,
As works OF art these statues will compare favor
ably with any bronzes In the world. Mr. Hueard
has erected an extensive foundry near his resi-
denec in sydney, where these great works were
cast and employs a number of most skiiful work
meu 10 assist him. third statue Of Washington
will he cast there In few days.
am aware that it may DO objected that 1t is one
thing TO mould statue upon statue. and another
TO originate the work, but Mr.. Hubbard is re-
marks able for his ski in modelling he is dlstin-
guished for his execution rs painter. and pursued
both branches Of the art while student for years
IN Rome aud Florence. I have doubt of his
ability TO complete the Washington Monument in
a manner TO give entire satisfaction.
IL then, we have in our midst the man and the
means to accomplish that which the lamented
Crawford has left unfinished, why should it not be
dopei Why employ an artist in Rome to do what
may be done in Richmond! G..

Punch presents his compliments to the CONNER
eial, and to the public generally, and is surprised to
find them so m~ysti6ed by the late proclamation.
Punch would remind them that the present Ministry
feel themselves strong. Instead of five Minister'S,
there are now only two, which, Of course, concentra-
ties in each one the wisdom of two Ministers and n
half for the salvation Of the Islands.
Upon due reflection, Punch is of opinion that one
Of the Ministers, being out of health, proposes q day
of fdsting, the other, fond Of good living, proposes q
day Of teasting, and there being no one to give o
casting vote, they have compromised the matter so as
to allow each one to have his own way. On that day
Of fasting and feasting it is expected that every one
of His Majesty's loyal subjects will fast in the morn
ing until breakfast is ready. After breakfast the
operation is to be resumed and kept up with spirit
until 8 o'clock. p. NJ, when ell are to sit down to a
splendid family feast, thankful to Almighty God for
all his mercies. In the evening there is to be n ball
at the Palace, which will close the exercises on this
great day of humiliation and feasting.
To prove the correctness of his opinion, Punch has
referred to the Haze Ha,rari, another Government
organ,'' where the case is beautifully illustrated in a
pictorial manner by a large ram on the left of the
Proclamation with the words male sheep above and
oldfiger below, showing how intimately things the
most diverse are united in these Islands.
Punch thinks the 3lst will be q great day in Homo
lulu and intends keeping it both ways.

But what a pity it is that everybody cannot be
happy on Christmas Day; that there are hooks
and corners where wretchedness prevails, where
no ray of hope forecasts way in, where there is
suffering and misery. While we enjoy ourselves
a while let us think a littleof the POOR and needy,
the sick and the afiic ed. There are scenes of
degradation, where squalid vice holds a pre-
eminent sway where crime and recklessness rule
all the actors. There are ~thos0Ndpon the deep
waters whose hearts are yearning for their homes
aud friends; there are attenuated forms stretched
upon beds of sickness there are others bowed
down in misery. For all these let US reserve one
little sympathetic corner of our hearts ; let us,
amidst our merriment, not forget that all are not
happy; if we cannot alleviate suffering, we can
at least feel for it.
We plead, then, for the observance of Christ
mas, and other holidays in our calendar. On
this occasion, let our hearts grow warm towards
all mankind. Especially, let us bind firmer the
ties of kindred. And, browning and Christening
all our joy, let our thoughts rise in gratitude to
Him from whom cometh down every good and
perfect gift.
Now in this season let thy spirit mild
Within our troubled spirits geam,
As CLEANS the moonlight in the troubled stream,
And order 80 our hearts that we may sing
In the full city, and the lonely glen,
That Hymn Of Hymns from Angels ministering-
"PEAcE ON THE Earth Coon WILL TO MEs."

Correction.

Mr.. EDITOR In your issue of December 8, you
make me give directions to bring to q blood heat by
pouring boiling water on the seeds Of the peach. l
have heard Of &c hot blood but this goes q little be-
yond anything l ever conceived of in that line.
The proper course is to pour boiling water over the
seeds and Immediately pour on cold water sufficient
to bring it to a blood heat, SC.
The reason of the process is to be found in the fact
that most, if not all, seeds of stone fruits require the
stimulus of frost. or its equivalent. to bring them into
q condition to germinate. The scalding process which
is described above, is the most available equivalent
we in warm climates possess. Yours,
Dec. Is, 1857. WAILuKu.

CRUISE Of the %"stlorninq Star to TIE Mlar

The Mission Premises as Omea bay.


The Hawaiian MissionaryKaiw (alittle man)
gave a heartfelt welcome to his friends, then rap
idly led the way over the rounded stones of the
beach to the enclosure of the mission premises.
We were hardly on land before we were in the
house, yet still had time to see an elevation of
stones well laid about the trunk of a tree on our
left, on which a number of Omoan men and boys
(the place was fabu to the women) were sitting
with no other apparent employment than watch
ing the new corners, tanning themselves and spite
fully slapping at the flies which incommoded
their sun-tanned skins. The wife of Kaiwi met
her friend at the bedroom door, greeted him il
the manner of her native land, and then all were
silent. To a stranger, the expression of silent
suffering which characterized her countenance
was deeply touching, especially when we knew
that the missionaries had been in absolute want,
had themselves been forced to go to sea in the half
their poor catchings with no other sauce than a
swallow of salt water.
While Kekela is telling the news, distributing
home letters, answering questions and pEaising
the Morning Star, sit down IN this fatherly rock
ing chair, which Kauwealoha made. Rock,-it
does not move smoothly, and for the first time we
notice that there are pebbles under the mat un-
der the table directly behind our chair we see the
bare floor composed of naked pebbles, andnow we
are astonished at the cluttered look this small
apartment presents. There is q homely lounge,
two or three tables, = cupboard, = book case, pots.
poi dishes, one OK two half barrels, chairs and
boxes piled one on another. This is the joint
property of Kakela, Kauwealoha and Kaiwi.
