RoAps.-Great Improvement has taken place in the
roads in different parts of this island, under the care
of the present supervisor. and we frequently hear his
services spoken of with credit. To perfect them all,
however, is a work of time Our attention has
been called to the turnpike road leading to the grove
at Waikiki, on which accidents not unfrequently oc-
cur, owing 10 its narrosness. 1t has been suggested
that the ditch ON the right hand of that road in going
out of town, should be filed in. so as to widen the
carriage-way. But whatever mode is adopted to i'm
prove it, it Is evideLtly now unsafe for vehicles.

A LITnoGRAPH-Mr. VIM. ST. NJ Bingham. who
formerly resided in Honolulu, has recently engraved
in New York n Genealogical Tree, illustrating the
descent of our Saviour from Adam. The engraving
is executed viii great taste, and when framed will
make a very neat ornament. Its size is about three
by four feet. The design is said to have been taken
from the old Spanish genealogical tree, but has been
much enlarged and otherwise improved. A few copies
have been received and are for sale, as per advertise
ment in another column.

THAT GuASo TsrANp.-Since our last issue, we
nave learned in relation to the island visited by the
Raiaag, that it contains a deposite of good guano
estimated at 3 TO 5000 tons. An analysis has been
made OF the samples brought, and ii has been found
to contain about IS per cent of bone phosphate. We
do not learn the exact position Of the island, but sup
pose it TO be what IS laid down as u g shoal'' ON most
charts in latitude Is north. and ahc1t longitude 40
west. If the expedition was n government one We
suppose no obstacle stands in the way Of our follow
ing the example Of older nations and .'annexing'' the
island to our kingdom.

For THE GOLD REGIoNs.-We understand quite a
number of passengers leave in the L.. p. Foster,
about Saturday, for the new gold country on the
Frazier River. 1t is estimated in the San Francisco
papers, that over 10000 persons will be there by the
end of Jsly. Whether they will all make fortunes
remains to be seen. Those who are going should
provide themselves with a mapof that region. The
best that we have seen yet was received blythe Fanny

PETTY THIEvIsG-appears to be on the increase,
especially in the valley. We heard a respectable
resident say quite recently that he had in a short
space of time lost fifty dollars worth in small articles.
There would appear to be no police-or as good as
none-in the environs of cur city.

WHALE SHIP PHGSIx OF NANTUcKEr-This vessel
arrived at San Francisco July 6, from the Kodisck
ground, having taken but one whale, 80 bbls. The
cause of the vessel putting into that port was that the
officers and crew were mutinous and refused duty
under Capt. Handy, who had been placed in charge
of the vessel at Lahaina when Capt. Hinkley left for
home last spring. We commisserate the case of any
whaling master who takes a refractory crew to San
Francisco, and more especially in these times. Our
sometimes abused port of Honolulu is far preferable.

when called upon, to restore order on ship-board.
