AlnrvAr. on rHr BELL RrncERs-It b . long
time since our Honolulu public have had entertain
ments offered to them Of 80 high . ~character as these
of the sAlleghanians or Swiss Bell Ringers" VINO
arrived on Saturday morning, in the Flying Dragon
from San Francisco. These musicians come very
highly ommen by the leading journals In All
the cities where they have given concerts
On Tuesday evening they gave their hrst con-
cert ut the ROYAL Hawaiian Theater, on which occa-
sion the building was filed to its utmost capacity.
All the pieces sung met with unbounded applause
and the various parts were executed with great artistic
skill. But the chief novelty of the occasion consists
in the Bell ringing, which is one OF the most IN
genious musical performances ever invented. In the
hands of these musicians the bells. of which there are
some thirty in number, graduated to various notes.
produce a concord of sweet sounds which no who has
an ear for music, can fail to admire. No person
should fail to witness them. The "straw ana WOOD
instrument is a novelty which must have been inven-
ted by a Yankee, and the manner in which Mr.
Stoepel makes it discourse music is truly wonderful
To those who are not already acquainted win
the character of these musicians, we would say that
there is nothing unchaste or immoral In the pe-losh-
ances. On the other hand, everything is in excellent
taste, leaning to the side OF virtue. We would say
to all, 90 and hear them, and take your children
with you. -
ANAr1vE KILLED BY A FoREIGNER.-An unfor-
tunate occurrence took place on Sunday afternoon
last, on board the Frances Palmer, while that vessel
was lying at the wharf, resulting in the death of her
steward, a native, named Charley. 1t appears that
the first officer of the vessel, Mr.. C. S. Horton, came
on board about six P. NJ, and finding the supper
table cleared off, reprimanded the steward, and gave
him directions as to the hour of supper in future.
The latter made some reply to Mr.. H., who kicked
the native in the neck or head, causing him to
reel over and fall heavily on the deck. The blow or
the fall appears to have killed him instantly. The
body was taken to the Station -honse, where a coron-
er's inquest was held, and the following verdict rem
dered:
An inousition taken at Honolulu, Island of Oahu,
on the 10th day of October in the year 1859 before
j. H. Brown, Sheriff, acting as one of the coroners
of said Island, upon the body OF Poole or Charley,
late steward of the Bark Frances Palmer, there
lying dead by the oaths of the jurors whose names
are hereunto subscribed, who being sworn to enquire
as to how and by what means the said Piole came TO
his death upon their oaths do say, that the said
Piole came to his death IN consequence of blow
upon his head from the foot of c. S. Horton, mate of

A CASE OF BARRATRY.-Our readers will remem-
Der the visit here, some two years ago, of the Chilean
bark Alexander Garrigos, with a cargo of Goals.
We have received the following statement of facts in
relation to that vessel Luis Osthaus, on his part,
and +. w.. Schwager s. Son on theirs, merchants of
Valparaiso. do hereby formally declare, that
Capt. David Ross, formerly in charge of the .Aigan-
dro Garrigos, with a cargo of 400 tons Chill Goals,
shipped by F. w. Schwager and Son, and destined
from Coronel to ~Iquique, whence she sailed on the
18th of Sept , 1857, did commit .Barratry by devia-
ting from his destination, going instead of the Port of
Iauiaue, first to africa, thence to Callao, where he
sold about 100 tons of coal; thence to Honolulu, where
he sold the remainder of it; changing there the name
of the .4lejandro Garrigos into that of F. w. Schwa-
ger ana the IN ii nag tut tlit Vi tuc IlaWaIlun, anu
thence proceeded to Puget's Sound, where he bought
cargo of timber and spars, and lastly from thence to
Sydney (~touching at Tahiti) where he sold both ship
and cargo. The -4iJandro Garrigos was sold to
him, on trust, by Mr.. L. Osthaus and the cargo of
Goals, was intrusted to him by F. W. Schwager & Son
for delivery in Iquique. He has run away with both
without renting n cent to either of us, nor have F.
w. Schwager & Son been able to recover from the
CHILEAN Insurance Company, the value of the cargo
insured in it by them, and in their name, for $2500
as per Policies they hold, guaranteeing the risk of
Barratry.'' -
