4 New LIGHT.-The London correspondent
of the New York Commercial Advertiser, in
his letter of November 19, says:
A new discovery in light is about to be in
troduced, which, if it realizes the averments of
the patentees, will reyolutionize all our exist
ing methods Of illumination. 1t was first pub
licly exhibited during the visit of the queen to
Cherbourg, while her majesty was passing at
night from her own ship to that of the emperor
The raw material may be cheap gas made
from the commonest materials, and the increase
Of brlliancy is obtained by passing it through
new medium which is alleged to have all the
advantages of lime without its destructiblity.
The calculations put forth are that light equal
to that of 500 street lamps and lasting 2 hours
can be obtained at cost equal to 875 cents, or
5s. Sd. sterling; while ''for domestic purposes,
one jet equaling in effect 8 TBS of candles, and
costing only i'd e cents) for 12 hours, will
give light fully equal to 3 argand lamps, and
double that Of any ordinary gasburner."
It's asserted also that the requisite appara-
tus is cheap, perfectly portable and capable of
being managed even by a child; that the light
is free from smell, very white, extremely pure,
and characterized by the property of burning
steadily, continuously and without diminution.
The patentee is the hon. w E. Fitzmaurice,
and the statements made are so far endorsed
by respectable and competent persons as to
lead to the hope that the discovery may not be
attended by the usual fate of all wonderful
patents, namely, great confidence and excite
ment during the experimental stages, and in
tense modification when they are brought to
working day practice.

A NuRsERY.-we are rejoiced to learn that at
length there is a fair prospect of the Nursery Of the
Royal Hawaiian Agricultural Society being COM
menced. The fifty acres purchased for that purpose
lie near the Queens country seat in Nuuanu Valley,
about two miles from town. The grounds are to be
placed under the care of Mr.. Holstein, the Kings
gardener and Mr.. Hillebrand, "a younger brother of
DR.. Hillebrand, who recently arrived from the States
Aided with the judicious advice and good taste Of DR..
Hillebrand, we doubt not that the garden viii soon
begin to assume an attractive state, though it should
be remembered that the resources Of the Society are.
as yet, 90 limited. that rapid progress should not be
expected. A plan of the grounds, sketched by Mr..
Holstein. can be seen at the Office Of Mr.. Monteome-
~. The site of the garden is admirably located for
the object intended. We doubt not that q nursery
here as IN other countries, can very soon be made to
return an income, from tae sale Of plants and trees.
sufficient to support it We are requested to invite
friends who desire to aid the enterprise, 70 send such
plants, trees, flowers, or SEEDS of mango. cnstard ap-

The rariH Bill Of

Parliament has met, and at last we have an
inkling Of the policy of the government, through
the agency of q short and 8 : business-like" speech
from the throne, and of the condition and pros
pect of the public funds from a published abstract
of the report Of the Minister of Finance. We shall
notice the latter document as well as the other
ministerial reports whenever the ministers have
concluded to lay them before the Legislative body.
We have now only to deal with the Tariff Act
of 1855, which the Royal Speech assumes will
become operative or not as a law as soon as it
shall please His Majesty and the Privy Council
For the better understanding of this Act, its
Importance demands that we republish it in
full. We copy it from the Statutes of 1855.
AN ACT
TO PROVIDE REVENUE FROM IMPORTS, AND TO CHANGE AND MODIFY

Be it enacted by the King, the MOBILES and Representatives Of
the Hawaiian Islands. in Legislative Council assembled:

articles hereinafter mentioned, and on such as may now be ex-
empt from duty, there shall be levied, collected and paid on the

Is per cent. Great discrimination that!
Schedule D. imposes ten per cent, double the
present rate) on almost every description of goods
imported for the use and supply of the whaling
fleet, as well as for the absolute necessities of the
native and foreign population. The result will
be, if the law is enforced, that a foreign whale
ship can, with a little foresight, evade the duty
altogether, by taking her stores or supplies from
bond, paying transit duty only, while a Hawai-
ian vessel must pay the whole duty. A very
queer enactment indeed is this for SO developing
the national resources on board our own national
vessels - 80 vauntingly set forth in the last Poly
neaan! Our Sc young Hercules among the Ha-
waiian enterprises must grow rery fast under
the charge of such foster-parents as our Ministry
here show themselves to be. We notice, how
ever, that (" rice-hullers," according to Seized
ule F., will be allowed to enter duty free. The
inference from this is that His Majesty's Minis
tiers consider the very laudable rice scheme,
proposed a twelvemonth or more ago by our con-
frere of the Polynesian, as of more Importance
than the whaling interest. Success to it.
The manifold absurdities and injustice APP
parent in this suddenly revived enactment, which
We supposed was sleeping its long sleep, seem
to us to be of less Importance than the principle
involved in the bill, and in the scheming through
which alone it passed through the Legislature,
and now is threatened to be put into force. We
do not think that there is a member of the Lower
House who voted for it, who dreamed that any at
tempt would be made to enforce it three years
after its passage, or who would have voted
for it with such an understanding, But we

we must leave the subject till our next issue, when
We may consider its bearing on our whaling inter-
ests, smuggling, legitimate trade, the advance
lnent of the Hawaiian people in civilization, and
its probable effects on the Treasury.
