The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1859-04-21

The COMMERCIAL ABRoAD.-Almost eyerv mail
from the United States brings us letters noticing
ths regularity with which the Commercial is received
by its subscribers there. This regularity is owing no
doubt in part to the special mode in which we forward
our papers They are put up in separate parcels,
marked with printed labels for New York CITY. the
parcels not being opened till they reach that city.
In order that persons wishing to subscribe and send
home the paper. may be assured. we quote from two
or three Of the last letters received. A captaip,s
wife writes from Greenport, L. l.:
aThe Aduert iser comes to US regularly. We receive and
peruse b With great interest, as it brings to US news Of a Land
where We have spent many pleasant days"
A subscriber in New Bedford writes:
aThe papers up to Nov. II, have been received. We are
much interested with their contents 1t Is really gratifying TO
receive from the Pacific so able, digni6ed and high toned q paper
Gus people. As nov conducted. IL Is an honor to Honolulu and
the Sandwich Islands"
Another subscriber in New London writes
II am . thousand times obliged for the papers, for there Is no
paper printed in the United States or out Of them, that / grasp
cannot imagine how delighted I am to receive IL. do not Law II
aside until I have read 1t all, advertisements with the rest.r
FoR THE New GUAxo IsLAxDs.-The brig Agate
sailed Tuesday for Phoenix Island. with twenty

natives much better than Whaling, as the climate Of
tie guano islands is almost identical with that Of
their native land. The -agate takes down anchors,

French Frignse Shoal.

at is advanced that the South Seaman was lost on French
o olss POSITION aou' until 1.-THE the day Of leaving these Islands. We know
nothing about the South Seaman or her courses on the ocean,
been acquainted with the said shoal, hundreds Of whaleships
have yearly left these islands, bound westward on their cruises,
although its real position was never known any better than the
day before the sailing Of the Fenimore Cooper"-Potynesian
The above paper makes itself very silly by
writing about what it knows nothing. Capt.
Norton, of the South Seaman, informed us that
the shoal was laid down on his chart, (Which we
suppose is the most approved about thirty-fve
miles out of its true longitude. Bowditch gives
the position of the island 1862 SO w. longitude.
Lieut.. Brooke places it in 1862 25 or twenty-six
miles further west, which fact most certainly
ought to have been made public Immediately on
his arrival here.
The Polynesian's statement in regard to vessels
getting on the reef is equally at fault. On the
day after the arrival of the Kanehameha ". from
the shoal, with the crew, we heard a statement
by a whaling captain, that a vessel got on the
reef within seven or eight years past, but did
not inquire into particulars, as it was then
deemed CT no consequence. Capt. Pierce, of the
Emerald, informs us that about the year 1928,
two ships went on the reef, one of which got of,
but he is not certain about the second. His first
officer. last voyage, was in one of the vessels
alluded to. Because the wiseacres of the Poly-
nes'an happen to remember of no losses, does not
make it out there have never been any.
Our remarksjn regard to Lieut.. Brooke in last
weeks paper, have been deemed by some of his
friends as unnecessarily severe, inasmuch as his
stay here was partly on account of his poor health.
And it is further represented to us that he did
not himself land on French Frigate Island, but
only sent one of his officers and some of the crew,
and that the report of guano was made wholly on

tue and public chastity. sit has been the mistaken
and fatal policy of nearly all governments, says
an able writer, g to derive . revenue from the
evils they can not suppress. And the effect OF
this system is to sanction, in the eyes of the
majority of the people. the business; to mislead
the public mind, blunt the moral sense, and,
ultimately, pervert the consciences of the masses
We have opposed this measure of revivins the
hulas, and shall still oppose it. The Representa-
tives, too, opposed it, almost unanimously, until
they aw that further opposition was of no use,
and sanctioned it only as an experiment. But
more than all, His Majesty the King opposes it
in his speech, sustained by the opinion of all
among his subjects who seek the good of his peo-
pie.
On the other hand we find in its favor only the
Ministers, and some of the Mobiles, who are re-
sponsible for the law, and of whom the Ministe-
rial organ says: "We gratefully acknowledge
our Indebtedness to the gentlemen who effected it,
for their one step toward a correct principle"
Yes, zone STEP in aiming TO destroy whatever
of virtue, industry, or thrift may exist among the
native people. The gratitude of the Polynesian
will be more than overbalanced by the indigna-
ton of the public. We pity a Ministry that can
find among the Kings subjects no more worthy
supporters than " we' of the government press.
