GREAr ArrRAcrIos.-Capt Patty informs us that az
the Mechanics' Fair, in San Francisco, 2 splendid
picture attracts all eyes. 1t is intended to portray
their Hawaiian Majesties, the King and Queen, Prince
| Lot. Princess Victoria, and the Queen DoWager'
mounted on beautiful charges, all full life slze' ana
dashing off in fine style. 1t is a handsome picture.
He was at the fair several times. and noticed that the
| painting attracted more attention than any other az
| ticle exhibited there.
The STEAM WHALEBoAr.-It will be remembered
that we mentioned some months ago that the whaieship
.dmerica was provided with a steam propeldng whale
boat. and subsequently that it had proved a failure for
the purpose intended. We learn that the inventor,
Mr.. Myers. intends fitting up his boat to ply about
tie harbor this fall. as it IS said that by substituting
wood or charcoal for rosin oil as fuel. the former
difficulties may be overcome.
DRUGS AND MEDIcINEs-We notice that DIR. Gull
lou has leased the old and well known druggist store
opposite our office, to which he win shortly remove.
Since the store has been closed the corner has ap-
peared quite desolate. We of course feel safer, foo,'
in having a good stock Of pills and tonics within
reach when wanted. 1t somehow always makes one
enjoy better spirits to live next to a medicine chest.
FooLHARDY.-Some boys full of deviltry, as they
often are. tied a tin pail to a dogs tail Yesterday,
and. in running through Merchant street, the animal
stirred up almost as great n commotion as did the
horse which ran away with the water-cart on Thurs
day last completely upsetting the equilibrium of Kaa-
HUMANE street. -
On the receipt of the news Of the laying OF
the Telegraph, salutes were fired from several of the
clipper ships in port, and the church bells rung. The
Fanny Major came into port with the American and
English flags flying together at the peak. Nearly
all the ships in port were decked out with bunting.
and flags were flown from every flagstaff in town. AT
noon a salute of 100 guns was fired on the esplanade.
SUPREME CoURT.-The October term of the Supreme
Court commenced on Monday last, Judge Robertson
presiding. The calendar is rather n limited one, and
the foreign cases will probably be disposed of to-day.
No important cases have been brought forward at
this session. -
CoURTEsY.-The bark Funny Major was detained
hv her owners two days at San Francisco after being
ready for sea, in order to get the mails for Honolulu,
the steamer having arrived several days later than
usual. - I
New INTERCHANGEABLE would call the atten-
ton of our shipping and mercantile readers to over
two columns of new advertisements appearing in to-
days paper. -
BARK YAxKEE.-This vessel which sailed hence on
the 11th was spoken 18th, four days out, with a fair
wind from the S. f.. and viii probably make a pas
sage of not over fifteen days.
p We take great pleasure in announcing the safe
arrival of our well-known coaster, the John Dunlap,
for whose safety fears began to be entertained.
On LAST PAeE-Something more about the Treaty
Mr.. Blifkin's Baby.
