| ~ Messrs. Louzada & Spencer certainly deserve
the highest praise for their untiring efforts to improve
onr wool growing stock. Regardless of expense,
their only aim appears to be to get the best, and It
must he a qualification to them and should be a mat
ter of pride with us all that these islands now possess
the very best breeds of sheep that Europe can

to England and the United States, will be counted oy

praiseworthy efforts of these gentlemen ana others
who have incurred the risk and expense OF like I'M

Of our wool. The animals are well worth a visit.
We would call attention to an advertisement by
Messrs. L. SIS.
ROYAL HAWAIIAN Observation-Disclosures the
constant succession of novelties produced at this place
of amusement by the indefatigable manager, we re-
greet to see that his enterprise is not rewarded by that
success which it deserves. 1t is noticeable that when
our community is lacking for amusement the gen.
eral cry is" Had we only a theater now to 60 to OF
an evening, how pleasantly we could while away this
monotony and ennui;'' but when We do get a placeof
amusement started through the go-ahead-itiveness"
of a fetU, the recollection of the before-expressed want
has departed from the many. No piece has as yet
been enacted a second time, but a continued course OF
pieces has been produced, and the plays put upon the
stage in a manner which would do credit to any es-
tablishment on the Pacific, and it is a subject of as
constituent to those habitues who know how difficult
it is to put these things through, even with plenty of
material ready at hand, when the paucity here IS
taken into consideration. Mr.. Ince used every exer-
ton to prevail upon the Misses Goughenheims to stop
and favor us with a sample of their style, butengage-
mentS or an Imperative HatuTe III new OIiCduo ot an
early date prevented. Such efforts on the part of a
management should be better supported. The do
nestle drama of .Madelaiae, on Saturday evening,
and the Stranger, by Kotzebue, on Tuesday evening,
were produced, in which the acting throughout was
good. We observe a constant improvement in the
performance of those filling the minor parts, which
shows increased study and a desire for advancement.
With such an actress from whom to obtain the
sc Promethean Fire. as the lady who fills the lead
ing characters, this however is no wonder. In the
character of .Nadelaiae, in the play of that name,
we thought Mr.. Beatty rather Overdid the drunken
scene. The representation of the insidious approaches
of intoxication is one of the most difficult things in
the whole range of the drama to enact.-and the
authorizations of the drunkard are generally shown
by deeds rather than words. Mr.. Bennett is reviving
a recollection of old California days in his late ap-
pearances, and show in treading the boards the good
actor can sink the shop.
THE ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA MINsTRELs.-By the
Yankee we notice the arrival of a band of min
strels,' of whose performances we have seen frequent
enthusiastic mention in the California city and coun-
try papers for several months past. Mr.. J. A Mordo
is the well-known business manager of the Company,
and Lew Rather, the inimitable personater of the
&c French Dancing Master is the stage manager.
Tim Darling is the principal dancer, and is said to be
a match for the we'll remembered Burbank. Joe
Murphy in his Chinese character and his extraordi-
nary performance on bones is represented to have
caused all others to {" cave" Sterling excels on the
hight fantastic toe, Ellis, is first violinist, and Ham
ilton does the banjo. We doubt not the public will
wait their first appearance with Impotence.
CROWDED OuT.-A large amount of commercial
editorial md news matter, prepared for this issue is
unavoidably crowded out. The ''busy season" comes
l.. a.. - -
served more promptly at this time than at others,
and we must submit to the pressure while it lasts.
If it does not pass off soon, we shall be compelled to
a semi-weekly issue.
"a HINT Is AS GooD,'' ETC-A writer in the last
Polynesian, thinks that the author of "a trip to
Maunaloa,' wants to get his schooner chartered for
m exploring expediti N. We are authorised to say
that he is quite ready for a charter, provided it does
not extend to flibustering after guano islands.
OursIDE.-On our fourth page will be found Mr..
Cyrus W. Fields journal of the Niagara, in laying
the Atlantic Telegraph. On our fifth page is an
account of the Magnetic Telegraph. Both are inter-
esting and will repay a perusal.
FoR SAN FRANCIsco-The banks Fanny Major
and Young Greek will both sail for San Francisco
on Monday or Tuesday next. Two numbers of the
Commercial have been issued since the Glencoe's
departure. -
CARGO SALE.-A large sale takes place this MORN
ing, at the Auction Room of A. p. Everett, of choice
goods just landed ex Porfena.
- On Saturday, at same place will be a sale Of
flowers, plants, &C., from the garden of the Agricul-
tural Society. -
q We regret to learn by the mail which arrived
yesterday, of the death of Julius A. Anthem, for
many years a resident Of Honolulu, and a partner of
the firm of Makee, Anthem & Co. We have not
yet learned the particulars.
- The ship Anglo Saron, which sailed three
days before the Yankee, arrived at Lahaina on
the Doth. She has papers and probably letters
