The Abandoned wife.

The little piece Of poetry below came enclosed
with letter oriuquiry in regard to a long-obsent
and raithless husband, who used to live here lie
was last heard of in Weavervilc, and his faithful
and torgiving wife made final appeal for his re-
turn, which was directed to the editor of this
paper, with the request that only the poetry
should be printed. The person addressed win
read this:
"Tcll him | love him yet! oh, could he know
My lone hearts grief and all its struggling woe
Could he but see my dimmed and fearful eye
Could he but hear the pent and struggling sigh,
still hcaved for him in secret--cOuld he trace
The lines that grief has craven on my face
Tell him that nought of friendship now hath power
From thoughts of him to while one weary hour.
Tell him love him yet! Here let him read
The secret of my heart Here let him read
Its writhing torture all its freuzied dcorh
OF hope. Tell him, without him earth
Looks darIy drear Mothought till HES last hour
| never would confess the magic power,
With which he yet sways with his woued art,
My fondly faithful, though my broken heart.
Tell him love him still though he knows not,
And thinks pcrohancc that hc too, is forgot
Tell him my heart is hrokc-cach feeling there
Like to the music of some broken Tyre,
When the cold blast beats rudely on It's strings,
(Thc medium tones all gomez the strain that alrg'
Its mourntul cadence now my hcart.srings DER.
Is but the echo Of a love that dreams no more.
And yet love him as when loves first beams
Lit up with hope aud joy my girlish dreams;
Yes, love him still-with fervor pure aud strong,
Still would believe him true forget my wrong
still at his name th' unblddcn ar-drops start,
And still the inward promptiugs of my heart;
Would haste to meet him, and its love reveal,
Go, tell him all, and ask him Can he feel
Tell him my heart is crushed Its spell Is DER

The Directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Co
have declined the proposal Of Wildman Whitehouse
in regard to repairing the cable, and working it at a
certain commission. The Directors decline to allow
him to have anything more to do with the Atlantic
Cable in any capacity. They have also discharged
all the electricians engaged on the Cable at Valentia.
DR.. Whitehouse, the discharged electrician of the
Atlantic Telegraph Company, says, in his commune
cation to the press, that the system hitherto adopted
by the company for working the Cable is q flacious
one. He thinks the defect is near the shore, and may
be easily repaired, and the Cable probably worked.
The Gatcay Qreland). pinacator We
are enabled to announce that n Company is in course
of formation, to be called the British and Canadian
Submarine Telegraph Company (Limited,) the OBJ
ject of which will be to connect the most important
British North American Colonies with Great Britain
by electric telegraph, commencing with that portion
of the line between Galway and Quebec, extending it
UPWARDS to the Pacific as soon afterwards as may be
deemed expedient. The Company proposes that the
first section shall commence at Galway, cross the
Atlantic to Belle Isle, and follow the course Of the
river st. Lawrence to Quebec. The wire to be used
viii be of a totally different nature and construction
from any hitherto employed, and the whole arrange
ments will he such as to secure it successfully laid.

Correspondence of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser,
Honolulu, Dec. 81. lSE

Honolulu, Dec. 81, 1858.
Mr. EDITOR Il am Il stranger in this CITY, and.
consequently, ignorant of its laws, and l should like
to ask if your policemen are hired to assault and in
suit private citizens with IMMUNITY and without
cause! Where I have lived, policemen are employed
for the purpose of protecting people from insult and in
jury; but here it seems to be quite the reverse. They
throw people about and use offensive language to
them, and are upheld and encouraged in it by the
Magistrate.
While standing with a friend near the entrance to
the premises of the late DR.. Rookie, the other day,
waiting to join the procession when it should start,
we were rudely assaulted and pushed violently about
by a white policeman, under the pretense that we
were taking up too much room, and hidden to keep
on the walk. 1 was standing on the walk at the
time, and quite out of the way, while a number OF
persons were standing quite out into the road, but
nothing was said to them. Feeling justly indignant,
we protested against such treatment, but were or
dered to g shut our heads and then edited with a
volley of choice Billingsgate, the officer closing with
the remark, "In mark You - and displaying his
badge to lei us know that he had authority to insult
us.
Taking the advice of friends, I laid the matter be-
fore the Police Magistrate, who ~wriggled and twisted,
and thought he g should not have felt insulted. - and
finally shufled it of, thus encouraging the fellow to
go straight out and do the same thing again; so it
seems that magistrates and policemen are I. birds of
a feather
Is this the law of the land. Are policemen vested
with power to insult and misuse people where and
when they please! If so, deliver me from Hawaiian
justice ~. A STRANGER.

imposed, and there are those to be found, even
in these enlightened times, who will not admit
that real estate is the only true basis of taxation.
But in order to find means for carrying on the
government, and for the accomplishment IF pub
lie works of imperative necessity, we must come
to such a tax sooner or later, and the present
seems the favorable time to initiate the moye-
ment, eventually to be applied all over the islands.
The treasury is out of funds,lbeyond those ne
cessary for the actual every day wants Of govern
ment.-with no prospect of a change for the bet
err; but a property tax, once judiciously imposed,
and the credit of the treasury will rise immediate
lyto a respectable point, and there will be no lack
of money to meet an emergency like the present
We have heard some doubts expressed as to
whether, even should this bill pass the lower
House, it will not be thrown out by the Mobiles.
1t is true that most of the members of the upper
House are large landholders, and a tax upon that
species of property would touch their pockets
more than those of the mass of the Representa-
tives. A proposition to lay on a property tax
was brought up and passed the lower House in
1855, we believe, but was thrown out by the
Mobiles. Since then, however, it has become very
apparent to all, and we presume to none more SO
tudH u u mdJOTlty u tuc upper Alouec, tHdt thc
necessities of the Treasury require some new
sources of revenue, or the wheels of government
will gradually run down, and eventually stop al
together. And here we would take the liberty
to repeat a suggestion which we made some time
since, that His Majesty rejuvenate the efFete
House of Mobiles, by infusing new blood into its
veins-in other words by creating a few new
members from some of the leading men of the
community. The materials are ample, and the
necessity apparent.

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

New YEAR's-Passed off with considerable sclat.
Some persons, who had lots Of leisure on their hands,
and had sat up to " watch the old year out and the
new one in" made known the fact a little after II
O'Clock that 1859 had arrived, and would have well
coined the youthful scion of Father Time with a merry
peal of bells if they had been permitted. AS is Gus
tomary in the United States and England, they how
ever commenced a musical serenade, but that was
soon put a stop to by the police. During the day
there were a number of iuaus, considerable fast
riding, some drunkenness, and a good deal of fight
ing. So it is, that while some commence the new
year with debauchery, others take the occasion to
reflect seriously ON the events of the past twelve
months-gone forever-and form new resolutions for
the future. The pleasant practice of making calls
upon lady acquaintance was not forgotten by the
gentlemen-and spruce black coats and kid gloves
were about" The day was generally given up to
festivity and enjoyment, but on Monday, being the
day on which everybody went back to their shops
and their ledgers. numbers of sharp-looking people
might have teen seen speeding up one street and down
another with sundry little slips Of paper in their
hands, which ever and anon they would pause to
scan over, and, whipping out one, present it to some
body. which somebody's face was sometimes elongated
thereby. We opine they were quarterly bills. Close
the ledger, Time I!

LATER FROM THE EAST.

The favorite clipper packet Yankee, Capt. James
Smith, arrived off this harbor on Friday night, the
31st ult., having made another of her qnick passages
from San Francisco-ten days from land to land.
She brings the New York mail of November 20, dates
from New Orleans to November %, London to Novem-
Der 13, and San Francisco to December 20. The
news, a summary of which we compile below, is in
teresting, though containing nothing of startling i'm
portance.
Pacific eide.
Several cases of ~lynching of assassins had taken
place in the interior of California. and Governor
Weller had issued a proclamation threatning to
yet been done in California.
In the case of JOS. Brewer, who shot B. F. Moul-
ton, it was decided to have been done in selfdefense.
Edward Pollock, a we'll known and highly talented
writer for the San Francisco Press, as well as a poet,
died suddenly in that city on the 18th ult. The Press
of San Francisco held a meeting, at which resolutions
were adopted declaring that his death was a public
loss.
Business in San Francisco was reported as fair.
and the demand from the interior for goods was
steady, from which it was argued that things were
fast settling down into a healthy state, so far rs mer-
camille matters were concerned. The Fraser humbug
was no more thought of, except by such as were dis
posed to emigrate there as permanent settlers.
