admiration of our sea-faring visitors, who IN o'ner
lands have often witnessed the evolutions OF the nnes
citizen soldiery in the world. At the residence 0 ;
Lieut. T. Spencer, the company partook OF that gen.
tleman's well-knewn hospitality, and IN the evenings
being present by special invitation, they ADDED not "
little to the gay appearance OF the Hawaiian ihea'er'
on the occasion of Mr.. J. s. Townsend's benefit. The
corps is undoubtedly an ornament to, and deservediy
the pride Of, Honolulu, and we take this occasion to
mention a circumstance which is not probably known
to all, and that is, that the armory at present occu-
pied by them is sadly out of repair, and entirely m
adequate to their wants. Cannot the public opinion
and public ~exertion be brought to bear upon the sub
ject. And this again suggests the recollection that
q Public Hall is much needed | in Honolulu.
