not attempt to make any distinctions in the mer-
its of the various pieces or artists, for the former
were ALL exouisitely performed, and the latter never
appeared to better advantage. The amount realized
was over 5000, which is appropriated to the Hospital
fund. Now that the members of the Amateur Soci-
etv have shown themselves so ready to aid others on
various occasions, we propose That they have a bene-
fit for the purpose of providing for their use on pub
lie occasions. such instruments as they require-par-
ticularly a good piano, which it has always been diff
cult to obtain on public occasions. The pubic VIII
most cordially sustain any such proposal.
SUBSCRIPTION AssEMBLIEs.-The second OF these
popular assemblies, under the management of Mr.. T.
Burgess, came off on Wednesday evening, last week,
at the Bungalow, graced, as before, with the presence
of I. fair women and brave men," Again HIS Majesty
honored them with his presence, and appeared to
enjoy the dance like the rest of mankind. Nothing
could be more recherche than the two reunions
which have now been given-and it fills a vacuum
long existing in Honolulu. We trust to see them
continued, under the same management, and this
blending of the sexes, governed by rules, acknowl-
edged by refined society, can only result to their
mutual advantage. we understand tne next oine
off on Wednesday evening next, at the Bungalow.
A New WHALEMEN's PosT-OFFIoE.-Capt. Stone,
of the Josephine, informs us that the masters of sperm
whaleships cruising near the line have generally
written home to have their letters directed hereafter
to Jarvis Island, and that they will call there once
or twice a year, as convenient for them. The agent
of the guano company at that island, will no doubt.
take measures to receive and keep safely all dispatches
thus sent, and the arrangement will be a great conve-
nience to sperm whalers, which seldom hear from
home, or only at intervals of one or two years.
BIRps.-The bark Felir brought seven linnets to
c. R. Bishop, ESD, for the Agricultural Society.
This, with several former importations, makes twenty
linnets and four sparrows imported and distributed
over the islands. They have been procured by Rev.
Mr.. Walsworth of Marysville, who has sent in all
nearly one hundred birds, but only twenty-four have
arrived here safely. He, as well as the captains and
officers of the vessels bringing them, are deserving of
thanks for their efforts to furnish us new varieties of
songsters. -
ExHIBITIoN.-The exhibition this evening at the
Fort Street Church, will afford the public an oppor-
tunity to witness the rhetorical and musical attain
ments of the scholars and students in the Oahu Col
lege. Exercises commence at u o'clock, and the
seats are free. -
VERAcIous, AGAIN The Polynesian says that
we stated that the debate at the Oahu College on the
liquor question was decided "5y the students"
We said no such thing-but that it was decided 6. by
the audience which comprised a fair representation
of Honolulu perfectly competent for the task.
HoNEY.-We have received from Mr.. Myers of
Molokai, through the courtesy of Mr.. Heuck, q sam
pie of honey produced by the hive of bees located on
tlot leland II 20 Of n ramarkohlv white color apd
in this respect differs from the imported article.
The FRANCES PALMER.-The sailing of this vessel
had been delayed to the Goth. She will be due here
to-day or tomorrow, but will bring no Eastern mail,
but probably a small California mail. She is adver-
tised to return to San Francisco with dispatch.
HARPERs' MAGAZINE-for May has been received,
and is as rich in illustrations as any previous num-
Der. The article on the common house-fly, dissecting
and illustrating the little insect that is so common to
us, is as instructive as it is amusing.

in the Ercel, on Tuesday, to hold the June Circuit
Court at Nawiliwili.
