THE CoScERr.-The Musical Concert, last Thurs
day evening, at the Fort Street Church, was well at
tended, and the music was extremely well executed,
particularly the pieces entitled "The Skylark," and
e The Pauper's Drive The solo on the piano by
Miss Emma Smith is also entitled to mention, as in
dicating a degree of musical talent and a correct ear,
which, in one so young, are very promising indica-
tons of future excellence. We learn that something
over two hundred dollars was realized from the sale
of tickets. which will nearly if not quite pay for the
organ that has been ordered for the Fort Street
Church.
THE WATER Lors-We understand thai three of
the waikahalulu lots have been leased to private par
ties for the purpose of storage. The rent mentioned
is 5000, $3.50, and $500 per annum. If this is so,
the property will lie considerably deteriorated in value,
for, unless inducements are held out for permanent,
substantial improvements. business will not be drawn
to that part of the town. The wretched policy pur-
sued in regard to this property will not be long in
working its legitimate effects-the bankruptcy of the
Treasury, and nothing to show for it.
SAILING OF THE MAIL PAcKEr.-The Fanny Major.
with a full freight of domestic produce and a large pas
senger list, sailed punctually on Tuesday, june LIST. at
II, NJ. Among the passengers by this packet weno-
tice r. Coady, ESQ.,, the head of the enterprising
house of R. Coady & Co.. who makes a short visit to
California on business. Mr.. Coady is closely identified
with the commercial interests of Honolulu, and in
common with his large circle of acquaintance we
wish him a pleasant voyage and a safe return.
The JOHN DuNLAp.-lhis vessel returned from
Kauai on Sunday, having made a very expeditions
trip, bringing up some forty cords of Hanalei fire.
wood. We understand that Capt. Dudoit has put
her up for Puget Sound and the gold ~diggings. His
rates of passage are-$7O in the cabin. $50 in the
steerage, and $50 for natives. We wish him all sue
cess in the enterprise, as well as to those who are just
now afflicted with the $ gold fever"
ANOTHER ExpED1rIoN.-The schooner Kalama,
Capt. Hooper, cleared yesterday for /" Hanalei and
islands in the Pacific Various rumors are in cir
culation as to her intended destination. the most pro-
minent one of which is that she is bound to Fanning's
Island for a cargo of fish. This would appear quite
probable, as she carries so barrels of salt as her only
freight. Mr.. Samuel Allen goes as Supercargo.
C-NGRATULAToRY ADpREss.-The citizens of La
haina, both native and foreign. held a meeting on the
oath ult on the receipt at that place of the news Of
the birth of a Prince, at which a congratulatory adj
dress was voted TO his Majesty, and it was resolved to
celebrate the happy event by a public dinner.
THE PRIvY CouNCIL-We perceive by the Poly
nesian of Saturday that the King has appointed DR..
C. B. Rookie and William Webster, Esq, as menu
bers of the Privy Council. As far as we have learned,
the appointment of those two gentlemen to the hon
position of advisers to the Kings government
has given general satisfaction.
A LEAKY CIsrERN.--At the Engine Company's
drill last Saturday. it was found that the cistern at
the junction of Mamma Kea and King streets was but
half full, having leaked. We hear that it will be
pumped out and repaired.
HORSE ~RAcE.-Therew was another horse-race on ne
plains, last Tuesday, between two sister mares. MIR.

the winner.
