Ncwspapc rdom in the Sandwich Islands.
The newspaper has become the exponent
Of civilization, and follows the Pioneer and
the Missionary to newly discovered regions
with a new power to transform savagcs to
civilized beings. Many of the growing cities
upon the Islands of the Pacific have now y
| Press that tells the world of their advance
in commerce and refinement.
We have before us copy of The Pacific
Commercial Adrertiscr," dated November
| Is, 1858. 1t is we'll printed, four page,
seven column sheet, published weekly at
| Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands. 1t contain,
nearly three hundred advertisements, and
ten columns Of commercial and other news
and of reading matter. Such paper from
the Sandwich Islands, within a century after
the natives killed and eat the missionaries
sent to them, is one Of the most striking
proofs the world ever saw of the progress
Of the Anglo Saxon race, and Of the power
Of Christianity.
The names IN the advertisements indicate
their English origin, and no doubt u major
itv Of the business men were natives Of the
United States.
The editorial columns show that kind Of
enterprise that marks the American press on
the Pacific coast, and indicates also the
peculiar spirit of the mass of American
editors.
Tho advertiser has n riya! in n govern
mcnt organ, but in its Yankee Independence
it boasts Of having a thousand subscribers,
and Of selling twelve times more copies than
the government paper"
The paper was received here in forty-tw
DAYS after date. A part of its news refers
to the Atlantic Gable, Japan treaty, Utah
news Of August the l4th, and two or
three columns are devoted to tho decision
of the Supreme Court Of that Kingdom in
a habeds corpus case, concerning the liberty
of a French sailor who had been arrested as
descrter.
The advertisements, business notices, and
local department of the paper, show that
nearly every branch of business carried on
here, is represented among the llawaiians,
besides some branches peculiar to tropical
climates.
Tho whole paper is printed in English,
except one advertisement in French, and
one, given below as n curiosity, in the Eng
lish and Hawaiian languages
