A gentleman of fortune in New
Hampshire has offered to pay the OK
pense Of literally educating a young
man, in case the latter should be
able to cover the walls Of certain
room with defaced postage stamps. =
Whatever may be the motive,
il at least is made in good faith, and
the young man is diligently enga-
ged in the accomplishment OF bis
task. As about eighty thousand
stamps will be required to cover a' the !
entire suface of tho walls, it will be
seen that he has no small work to
perform. Several ladies are assist,
ing him, and have already collected
about Eve thousand.

Mn. EDITOR by the Yankee 1 was duly in
receipt of a file of your interesting Journal, and in il
observe the renewal of friendly relations between the
Hawaiian and French governments. which, by some,
has been considered as preliminary to something
more serious, and has been commented upon in no
very fattering style by the California press. Johnny
Crapeau doubtless would be happy to establish a
protectorate ever the islands, but I think he has got
enough to see to at home, to keep him from specula-

Affairs at the East have already assumed a cheer
full aspect, and it can safely be said the crisis is past.
The house of Willets & Co. have resumed, and their
capital is now stated to be 81 zoo, 900.
Kansas affairs appear to engross the attention of
Congress so much that other important matters (the
Mormon War and Pacific Railroad, for instance, }
are totally neglected.
The loss of the clipper ship John Million, and the
melancholy fate of Captain Ephraim Harding, SO
long and favorably known in the whaling feet, was
chronicled in the news from the East per last steamer.
Many of your readers, who have been for years past
accustomed every season to shake him by the hand,
and who have enjoyed his friendship, will shed a
tear for the widow and wife, who have been SO sud-
denly deprived of son and husband.
The Yankee has been detained some days, at the
instance of Martin Gallagher, who feels himself dam
aged to the extent of $25 200, by having been COM
PEELED to take a trip with Captain Smith to Honolulu,
at the urgent solicitation of the renowned Vigilance
Committee. 1t is generally believed that two or
three crafty lawyers are at the bottom of this suit,
and the people here are almost tempted to treat them
to a hempen cravat.
Business gradually improving. The late heavy
rains have caused a general rejoicing. The year
1858 viii show the most abundant harvest and the
largest gold product of any year in California since
the conquest. We have been paying high prices for
-four this season, but we shall get it low enough next
fall to make the average right.
Monetary affairs in San Francisco continue to be
quite stringent, owing to the delinquency on the part
of the up-country traders, who are obliged TO wait for
the miners. Now that there is no lack Of water in
the mining districts, we look for q change in money
matters. and a brisk business this summer.

It would seem that nearly all the members
elect of the next Legislature from the other
islands have come to Honolulu, expecting that
the session would be called during the month OF
April, though no proclamation to that effect has
yet been published. Being anxious to have their
minds set at rest as to when the Legislature will
meet, they addressed the following letter to His
Majesty, which produced the subjoined reply.
The Legislature of 1856, was prorogued on the
18th of June, consequently to come within tho
two years fixed by law, the legislature of this
year must be convened on or before the 10th of
June, 1858.

To HIS MAJESTY, K~AMEHAMEHA w.:
MAY IT PLEASE YoUR MAJESTY The undersigned
respectfully represent that they were elected as repre-
sentatives of Your Majesty's people in this and vari-
Gus other districts for the year 1858; that they have
come to Honolulu with the expectation that the
Legislature would be called together in the month Of
April, as in former years. And they would therefore
humbly request of Your Majesty to be informed as to
when it will be Your Majesty's pleasure to call to-
gether the Mobiles and Representatives in Legislative
session.
The reason of this request will perhaps be apparent
to Your Majesty when we state that some of us have
come from remote districts, leaving the pursuits by
which We support ourselves and families, and that
others of us have arranged our business SO as to de-
vote the months of April and May to the duties of the
legislature. We are Your Majesty's
most humble servants.
