NEcEss1rY's CALL ANswERED.-The new bridge

and from its substantial appearance of durability and
strength. bids fair to withstand any such accidents as
demolished its predecessor. The abutments at each
end are of solid coral stone, filed in with clay. The
bridge wav is of good solid four inch plank; the side
supports are of corresponding strength and thickness,
and the whole looks as if it would bear up well for
many years. This is a good job well done. All the
bridges around Honolulu, constructed since the last
freshet, that have come under. our. observation are
much better built than any before them. Simple JUS
tice to who ever deserves the credit, leads US to make
the statement. We believe it belongs to Mr.. Harding,
the active road superintendent
RIsIBLE.-On Wednesday last a crowd of natives
was observed gathered around an old COW, opposite
to Captain Paty's. in Nuuanu Valley. She was limp
ing along evidently in pain, when observing the sta
ring and idle crowd of natives who had no other &C.
cupation for their time, than to gaze at her misfor-
tune, she suddenly made a charge amongst them,
without any seeming provocation, except anger at
being looked at, and with little mercy tossed the FORE
most spectator literally head over heels. He came
down, strange to say, not much hurt, but very much
scared. She then looked anxiously around for
another victim, but is vain; for the terrified crowd
had dispersed, leaving the old COW victor of the field.
Her u-nceremonious salutation caused a general STAN
pede. The scene. notwithstanding the danger Of one
of the principal performers. was highly ludicrous, and
will teach idlers to follow some more laudable pur-
suit than staring at lame COWS.
"WEsTwARp THE STAR OF EMPIRE &c.-On Mon
day last the ship Flying Dragon sailed for Jarvis
and Bakers Islands. Among her passengers were
Mrs. Wilder, wife of Governor Wilder of Jarvis Is
land, and Charles H. Judd, Esq. Governor-of Bakers
Island, who is accompanied by his bride, formerly
Miss E. C. Cuts, of Portsmouth, N. HI Both these

husbands the privations of their mid-ocean home. 1t
requires no ordinary nerve in them to quit the asso-
Citations and society to which they have been accus-
toned, for the solitude of those lone islands of the
Poetic, which are now part and parcel of the Ameri-
can Republic. Their departure affords another illus
tration of the expansive, restless spirit of the Ameri-
can nation. These young ladies, who have gone to
make their residence on Jarvis and Bakers Islands,
are pioneers in ~peopling Uncle Sans most western
domains,
Down where yon anchoring vessel spreads the sail,
That idly waiting flaps with every gale"
NEWSPAPERS AT SEA.-We have been shown copies
of the .Milwaukee Express, a weekly paper issued by
the passengers on board the .Mlrcaukee during her
passage to this port. Its pages abound with humor-
Gus articles, and 1t appears to have been the outlet of
a good deal of the humor and fun which always +.
abound on board Of vessels conveying so large a
uHoe U pusScuScrS- DuI IL 8 usually the eXpe-
rience on land, the Express soon found an opposi-
ton Journal under the title of the Milwaukee Report
err & Looker-on, copies of which have also been
laid before US. Between the two papers, there ap-
pears to have been considerable sparring and joking,
which 10 doubt served to beguile the tedious hours
Of long voyage. -
The accomplished artists
give another and final concert at the Theater this
evening, a benefit having been rendered to them
on the part of the citizens of Honolulu. They have
engaged passage to Australia in the ship Eliza F.
.Mason, and expect to sail on Saturday next. We
hope that our citizens will show their appreciation of
these novel and talented artists by giving them a full
house, on this their last appearance.
ALMOST Acknowledging the ~southerly blow on
Tuesday night, soon after dark, the bark Cossack
got into a dangerous position off Diamond Head, and
dropped her anchor in 5 fathoms of water. One
of her officers Immediately went ashore to obtain as
sistance, and by the aid of the steam tug got under
weigh about 8 O'Clock, without sustaining damage.
Had the wind been blowing strong she would in all
probability have gone ashore. Captains of vessels
lying off and on the Port. while s~outherly winds pre-
vail, should be cautious not to stand in too close, as
these winds are apt to be very uncertain.

his illness having taken an unfavorable turn. Inn
mediately on receiving the news. His Majesty and
DR.. McKibbin, started for that place on board the
Moi Keiki, which was lowed to sea by the Pele.
Further news is anxiously looked for.
For The EAsT.-Since the sailing of the Frances
Palmer, two numbers of the Commercial have been
issued, both of which contain a great variety of news
and reports from the whaling fleet as well as a gen.
eral summary of local news. Copies can be had at
the counter in wrappers, ready for mailing.
MAIL OF SEPT. 20rH.-There can be no doubt
that the arrival of this mail has been delayed by the
strong south winds, which have been prevailing for
the last 10 or 10 days, ell the vessels which have ar
rived iately from the north report having to beat
against s~outherly winds.
Run 0yER--Last week a kanaka riding furiously
through Fort street, ran over a son of Mrs. Ducorron,
the horse bruising the child considerably. The man
was arrested and fined So and costs. A few such
examples will serve to check the passion for fast
riding. - /
