NOTES OF THE WEEK.

The "DAsHING WAvE."-The publisher of this
Journal is indebted to the courtesy of Capt. II. W.
Young, commanding this fine clipper of 1850 tons,
for the opportunity of returning to Honolulu from
San Francisco, after an absence Of two months, there
being no other vessel likely to sail for several
weeks. In taking leave of the captain we cannot
but express our thanks to him and his first officer,
Mr.. Page, for the many little attentions shown dur
ing the passage, that always serve to render a voy-
age pleasant and rob it of that tediousness which too
often is the only accompaniment. The Dashing
Ware is a fast sailing vessel, carrying 1900 tons Of
merchandise, and though she had no opportunity Of
trying her speed on the passage from San Francisco,
owing to the battling winds prevailing. we may note
here what she did perform on her last voyage to CAL
cutta, in March, 1857. She sailed from West long.
136 . passing near these islands, a distance of 6.244
miles, in q days, giving an average of 231 miles per
day for the entire distance.
The numerous friends of Capt. Young, in San Fran
cisco and the East, will be pleased to learn that his
health, which at one time was in n critical state, has
much improved since his departure from that port.
and that he leaves here with the prospect of entire
recovery. The ship sails for Calcutta tomorrow.
