the English will be large. We received, q few weeks
since, the following letter from a native on Maui.
which. though quite imperfect in style, will show our
e,ders that Hawaiians are not stationary. As the
writer has become a subscriber to the CONNER
cial, we omit his name and those of parties re-
ferred to by him. A subsequent letter from him en-
closed US the prompt payment of six dollars. for a
years subscription. We have already n number of
natives on our subscription list, who. like the writer
of the following note. thirst for foreign news. We
hope for a still larger number.

HAWAIIAN EPISCOPAL CHURCH. w understand that
a subscription is circulating, headed by their Majesties,
to procure an annuity for an ordained clergyman of
the Episcopal denomination, to institute and ~oficiate
at a Hawaiian Episcopal Church in Honolulu, where
there are a large number of protesting Christians
whose afnnItleS or early euucatlOn anu persCnal coll
viction lead them to prefer the Episcopal service to
that of other Observation-Disclosures.
We cannot refrain from expressing the hope that
the effort now being made to secure the permanent
location here of an Episcopal clergyman will be sue
cessful. There are many of that persuasion here,
and some who now rarely attend divine service would
no doubt aid in its support. We learn further. that
the sum of $1,000 per annum has been pledged by a
society in England toward the maintenance of the
Episcopal service here, and feel sure that with the
known liberality of our citizens, the project will be
successful. -
A NATIVE Boy KILLEp.-A young native lad, aged
some twelve or thirteen years. came to his death last
Friday Mt Kalihi, under the following circumstances:
The youth had no parents, but VAS living with his
adopted father, Kupanaia. who endeavored in vain to
keep him steady at school. On Friday Kupanaia
discovered the boy playing marbles against his orders
and started for him, when the latter ran off. The
man then got on his horse and started in pursuit.
Overtaking the truant, he jumped off the horse with
n coil of rope in his hand with which the animal had
been fastened and threw both arms around the boy in
order to prevent his escape. At this moment the
horse took fright, and starting to run, the rope pulled
the man and boy to the ground. but the former fell
free from the rope, while the boy by some means re-
mainded entangled by the arm and was dragged by
the horse some ten or twelve yards, until coming to
n low wall, which the horse leapIng, the boys head
was brought in contact with the stones with such
force as to fracture the skull and at the same
time free him from the rope. DR.. Judd was immedi-
ately sent for, but when he arrived the unfortunate
lad had ceased to breathe. This statement was got
from n playmate Of the deceased, who saw the whole
affair. -
THE CoAsTING TRADE.-A writer in the Hae Ha-
ucaii of the I'd inst. makes some suggestions in regard
to coasting vessels and the necessity of a law for their
regulation, which are very sensible and quite worthy
the attention of the Legislature. After mentioning a
number of coasters which have been lost between the
different islands since 1S41, and estimating that over
six hundred natives have gone down in them, he as
serts the necessity of an enactment enforcing upon
owners the following rules:
1. That each vessel shall be supplied with at least
one compass in good orders;
3. That they be supplied with nautical Instruments;
8. With requisite charts and books; and
4 and 5. Food and water sufficient for fifty days
consumption Twenty we should say).
He concludes his proposed enactment by forbid
ding the employment by owners of vessels, of I'M
skillful or d~issipated men as commanders or officers,
whether foreigners or natives.
MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.-At II O'Clock, noon,
tomorrow, His Majesty will proceed to the chamber
of the Mobiles in the Court House, and formally open
the Legislature of 1858 in person. No little curiosity
is apparent in the public mind as to the matter and
tenor of the Kings speech, in view of the present
complicated state of governmental affairs. No official
notice has yet been given that parliament Will be
opened at the above place, although ordinary courtesy
to the Representatives and the public would have
suggested its being made.

Proclamation will be issued in a day or two, forbid
ding the Mormons landing upon any of the Sandwich
Islands. 1t would no doubt be proper to stop their
coming here as an organized body, but it may be a
question how far we could object to a passenger COM
ing on shore or locating here simply ON account of his
religious belief. We hope that Brigham Young won't
retaliate and issue a proclamation forbidding Hawaii
ans from entering his territory-it would be too bad.
The You've PRINcE-Notice has been given that
the foreign children of Honolulu intend to meet and
pay their respects to the Royal Infant, presenting him
at the same time with a small carriage. The cere-
mony was announced to take place yesterday, but
owing to the illness of the Prince, it has been post
poned till Saturday next at 81 p. NJ. when there will
probably be a general turnout of Juveniles. We are
requested to state that all children of foreign paren-
tage are expected to join in the procession.
ELECTION Of CHIEF ENGINEER-The election by
the Firemen on Monday evening last, was very well
attended, though there was little or no opposition to
the regular nominees. The following was the result:
Chief Engineer, Al. CARTWRIGHT. ESQ,
1t Asst. " X. F. Snow,
ID " G. CLARK,
The Department is at present in a very efficient
condition, numbering about ninety active members.
