charge cargo. She is Of 16e tom bar1hsn. erts<ns'y
sharp. and is expected to snrpass in sailing qualities
every thing We have now on the route. Her cost IS
said to be $4,000. Another schooner. Of 100 tons
l~burthen and . very sharp model, was to be launches
at Greenport early in November. having been builH
for A. K. Clark, ESQ.,, of Honolulu. a third schooner
commanded by Capt. Heydcn, formerly OF the whale
ship .Mereu coming out. which will De run as .
coaster. All these vessels ought to be here in March
or April next.
PosTAL IRREGULARITY.-We insert In another
column an advertisement of real estate at auction at
Waikiki, Maui. which takes place to-day. The letter
accompanying the advertisement is dated Nov. ~,
and ought to have been received here four weeks
ago, but ynly came to hand on Sunday last. Where
it has beer travelling in the mean time. we have yet
to learn. Another case has come to our knowledge.
A letter sent from Honolulu about Nov. Is, for Kau-
al, enclosing SO in gold, has never been heard from
j since being mailed here. We are satisfied that the
post office officials endedror to be careful, but these
cases will show that there is room for Improvement.
If the government demands pay for its service, it
ought to be held responsible for q faithful execution
of it. -
LEES NATIONAL CRcUs.-During the week, the
public have been treated to a series of entertainments
by this talented troupe of equestrians. Their tent has
been removed to the corner Of Beretania and Nuuanu
streets, and erected with a much improved scale of
interior comfort and accommodation. The seats being
nicely cushioned, and as the tent is smaller, all Is
more snug. The standard of merit which has always
accompanied this fine company is in no danger OF
being lowered while on these islands, as each success
sive performance gives additional evidence of the ca
pacity they possess to render their exhibitions agree
able and welcome. One and all are alike deserving
of the highest praise and patronage, and are we'll
worthy to class among the masters of their art. All
who are DESTROYS of a highly pleasing evening" enter-
tainment should give them a call.
Our HARBoR-Which for several weeks has been
so thickly mantled by a forest of masts, entirely shut
ting out from view the reef and distant horizon, is
becoming much more clear on account of so many
ships taking their departure homeward and to cruise.
Many of these whalers coming into port sea worn,
rusty, weather beaten, and rugged, have repaired
and polished up and amazingly changed their appear
ance. presenting as they unfurl their sails for depar-
ture, some very fine and handsome models. While
under the process Of repair they present some rather
grotesque appearances-one with stern down In the
water almost within three feet of the %tadrail; another
stem down and stern out another listed over al
most on her beam enQS, anu many OtucTS III FaTiOus
singular positions.
HIS LArEsr.-On Monday evening, as MIR. Ryland
of the Circus company, was giving his true and natu-
raj presentations Of various characters in Dickens
Novel, Oliver Twist, a person sitting beside a we'll
known and celebrated punster of this city, remarked
to him as Mr.. r. appeared as Oliver. that SOLVER
Twist never wore mrstaches or the parish authorities
would soon have clipped them The punster, with
out one second deliberation, replied in reference to
the actor "Well, he wears them all-of-a-twist."
The person who made the remark Immediately SUBJ
sided within himself. 1t is quite unnecessary to
mention names. as all will recognize the repartee.

is as active as ever in agriculture and horticulture,
and that his personal efforts meet with marked sue

the report of the annual fair at that town, we notice
that Mr.. NJ. took premiums for twenty-four varieties
of apples, twenty-four varieties of pears, for the finest
dish of plums, and for the best collection Of vegeta-
bles. We only wish we could see some of the speci-
mems presented at the show.

=. BuRsETT's KALLIsToN.-Among the novelties lately
introduced, we find the above preparation at DIR.
Hoffmann's. As a wash for the complexion, it has no
equal. 1t is distinguished for its soothing and puri-
flying effect, allaying all tendency to inflammation,
especially that arising from bites of mosquitoes, stings
of insects, SC. 1t is a powerful cleanser of the skin,
removing tan, freckles, pimples, and all discolora-
tons. These, with its refreshing and invigorating
properties. render it an indispensable requisite for the
toilet. Try it. -
THANKsGIvING.-The following notice has been
issued for a Day of Thanksgiving. Many will regret
that Christmas, or Monday next. tthe most appro-
pirate day. had not been selected for the purpose.

VALUABLE MANUFACTURING PROPERTY FOR SALE |
By q notice in another column, it will be seen that
the one-half interest in the Puuloa Salt Works is
offered for sale. There is no better or more produc-
tive property on these islands than this, and with an
increased capital the business could probably be made
much more lucrative.
