THE CLIPPER BRra JosEPHISE This beautiful YES
sci, which arrived on Monday, in the renal kably
good time of one hundred and three days from New
York, has been for the past three or four days quite
an object of curiosity. Her peculiarly long and
wedge-like bow, and her long, low hull, surmounted
by apparently insufficient spars, have excited the as
constituent and puzzled the understanding of many
of our old :. sea-dogs,' until they exclaim-" she's
too much for me-" We have been permitted by Capt.
Stone TO examine the abstract log of the Josephine,
from which we have extracted a few memoranda,
which will be found in the comQnerciaI columns. OF
Cape Horn, Capt. Stone makes the following memo
randum, addressed to Lieut.. Maury, with whose
charts and directions he was provided 'This is my
first voyage round Cape Horn. Though | have buff
feted the North Atlantic twenty-five years,) and I
have never once been deceived in regard to the direc-
ton of the wind as indicated here by the rise and fall
of the mercury-:hanks TO your valuable information
on the subject The best days run was 2S5 nauti-
cal miles. The Josephine is hernaphrolite rugged, is
1874 feet long, q feet beam, and measures 256 tons
burthen. The presence of this vessel in our harbor
is a "material guarantee of the stability of the
American Guano Company, and of their lack of de-
pendence upon Commodore Mervine's observations
through a s~py-glass. Success, say we, to the
American Guano Company, the clipper josephine
and her gentlemanly commander.
LECTURE BY DIR. C. F. GUILLou.-The lecture, by
DIR. Guillou. on last Friday evening, at the Fort
Street Church., on the questions -" What measures
are best adapted for the efficient distribution of med
ical relief among the inhabitants, native and foreign,
of these islands /! and how are such measures to be
originated and carried into effect ?"-was an highly
interesting elucidation of the subject discussed, and
was listened to with great attention by the audience.
The lecturer took the ground that the only means of
prolonging the existence of the Hawaiian race was by
bringing them within the protecting reach of medical
aid. He spoke forcibly of the need of hospitals for
the INDECENT sick natives,-at least one in each of the
large towns of the group, with medical dispensaries
attached, and concluded by an earnest appeal to the
charitably disposed and the friends of humanity to
form hospital associations, to be chartered and aided
by government, at whose establishments the sick could
be received and properly treated, at established rates
when able to pay, and gratuitously when INDECENT.
The lecture, we learn, will shortly appear in print,
when we hope more fully to notice il, treating, as it
sHo'cf
portance to the Hawaiian nation.
CHANGING HIS NAME.-We sometimes see funny
advertisements from natives published in the Hue
Hawaii. The following is quite humorous, and
evinces a spirit of independence Of law and order in
the little matter of a name what's in n name!'-
that is quite refreshing. The naiUefe with which he
warns his correspondents against addressing his
former self for fear of a miscarriage Of the letter is as
good as Irish
"NoTIcE-Hear We, all my friends and acquaint-
ances in all places! Forbear to write, call, or adj
dress me, from this time out by the name Kama
otherwise il may not reach or be heard by
me. 1 hereby wipe out and expunge that name
altogether. 1t is done. The right and the wrong con-
sequences of this are for me hereafter; but by the
name signed hereunto only can I be known to you.
The day on which this notice appears in the Haze
Ha,raii, will be the occasion for every body to be-
come informed. Ny respects to you all
