Brass trumpets and IS terrapin expresses'' have
long been known to be in good supply with our
neighbors but we had no idea that they possessed
any description Of instrument capable Of pitching
30 loud q key as the above edusion. We have too
much to attend to. to bother our heads with the Poly
nesian amateur Ship List-soc called published solelyb by
the aid of public funds. and simply in opposition to pri-
vate enterprise. But . gentleman interested in ship
news has called our attention to the fact that several
vessels, which have sailed from ten to forty days
since are reported in its last list as in port. or no
notice taken of their sailing. II the list should get to
the eyes Of the owners of said ships, the captains will
probably hear from them. Another vessel is reported
rs having arrived which at last accounts is up north.
Another one which has arrived and sailed Q month
since, is, according to that list, ~befogged and clean
in Bristol Bay. Still, ne must award great praise to
our n~eighbors for attempting to publish "the latest,
fullest, and most reliable intelligence and particu-
larly commend the efforts of their amateur ship
reporter.
P. S.-We are requested to state to the purchasers
of bills of ship Martha, that if her bills are protested
on the strength of "the fullest and most reliable
information found in the Polynesian, to the effect
that said vessel has not arrived at the Sandwich
Islands, the government is expected to pay all dam
ages in the case.

the play of Camille, or the Coquete, dramatized
from the popular French work of the Younger Dumas,
"La dame aux Camelias,'' which has already passed
through the thirtieth Paris edition, owing its favor to
the mastery application of a class Of females well
known in the capital of " la belle France who ig-
more the certain consequences of the future in the
qualification of the present. Although the idealiza-
ton of Dumas fills, as rendered in the English garb,
is softened and refined to please the fastidious taste of
the Anglo Saxon, it is T" Frenchy'' enough to show
the difference between the SC danes du pave'' of the
different nations.
In the play of Lucrefie n srgia, a piece founded on the scam
daIous truths Of the reign Of that Borgia, who sat upon the papal
throne as Alexander VI, (and whose name il endeared to every
American by the generous manner in which he gave away to the

Honolulu audience that all remark is supererogatory. Perhaps
the fact that MI. Beatty is always well up in his part, and always
shows such a perfect knowledge Of stage business, leads one to
look for a perfectly " satisfactory" embodiment Of his character,
creasing excellence in performance.
The new drop scene curtain, representing the Bay OF Ischeia,
promontory, and also the de scenery, painted by Mr.. Paul EN-
and any one who sees them must own that a remark, overheard
by us, "that Emmert was sum'-and the reply Of "that's so"
was in every way true.
BuRGLARlEs.-On Tuesday night last, some thieves
entered the residence of Mr.. George H. Ince, while
the family we're at the Theater, and ransacked the
premises, apparently in search of money. Nothing
has yet been missed, though some valuable jewelry
was scattered about but left. The same night the
White Horse Hotel,' kept by W.. Pierson. was
entered, and two demijohns of brandy, q dozen bottles
Of bitters, and some loaf sugar stolen. The thieves
were evidently very cool in this last operation, ms
they tried the liquor before taking it. leaving the
tumblers they had used on the counter.
q The atmosphere for the past few days has
been remarkably clear. From the telegraph station
the entire and cloudless outline of Molokai, Lanai,
and East and West Maui could be observed perfectly
distinct; even the surf could be seen breaking on the
Molokai beach. twenty-five miles distant. A wag at
our elbow says he could plainly see Lahaina. and
discern the whole town with spyglass in hand. This
must certainly be an optical illusion.
RAIN.-The weather, which has been very heavy
and sultry for some days past, with little or no wind,
yesterday took a ~southerly turn and brought some
very heavy showers, the first soaking rain that we
have had for some months. The pastures through
out the island. and the streets of the town, have long
needed some moisture. |

was then shining with great brilliancy. His present
visit is marked by a comet Of nearly equal sise and

% We are happy to announce that Mr.. benjamin
F. Bolles. ship chandler of Lahaina. has resumed
business at the old stand, and from the numerous as
surances which he has received from merchants and
ship masters, there is q fair prospect of the house re-
covering the ground which it had temporarily lost.
We wish him success.
NEXT MAn.-we think the next mail may be
looked for from the 10th to 25th inst. by ons Of the
clippers expected;-the .Angio Saron, Europe and
Western Continent, viii all be due about that time.
In the absence Of steady winds. there Is much uncer-
tainty about the time Of their arrival.
GuANo.-Capt. Stone says, that the few thousand
tons of guano Is yet taken from Jarvis Island, make
> very small hole in the pile. and there il enough
left to wear out all the clipper ships aAoat-not less
than several millions Of tons certainly.
