might have a sbeneft'' and see and hear. There
was a rush then, if not beforehand the natives SEEM
ed highly pleased, particularly with the bells and
comical songs, which they could see and enjoy better
than the more artistic pieces.
The New Government House is reported as compile
ted so far as the contracts call for. 1t is a good sub
stantial building and better adapted for the purposes
intended, then it would be for a bear garden. II
those in charge could put such fixtures IS are neces-
sary into the several rooms that are intended Tor the
different departments, it would well complete what
has long been needed, and which, we believe, have
always bln freely provided at the government offices
and building in this city. The idea OF attending
court and serving as a juror on those old hard WOOD
benches. which have so long ornamented the "Palace'
there, does not seem quite SO inviting as eight-dol-
lar cane-seat chairs. We hear also that the place as
signed for the General Post Office delivery in the
new building is in size nearly seven feet by nine,
and still worse, the old fixtures, are ordered to be
put up-not in any wise suitable or respectable to
put into so good a building as the new government
house. We hope the government officers who have
had, or may have the arrangement of the finishing
of the rooms will not make their work or themselves
ridiculous, if the sublime is unattainable.

FOUND DRowNED.-On yesterday morning. the
body of a native woman named Kanakaole was found
drowned. 1t appears from evidence rendered at the
inquest, that the deceased has for some time been in
sane, and that about dusk on Tuesday evening, she
went into the water to battle. After going in until
up to her waiet in the water, she took of her clothes,
tore them, and threw them on shore. Some natives
seeing her and knowing the state of her mind. and
fearing some accident, called to her, and endeavored
to persuade her to give up bathing as it was getting
dark. She repeatedly tried to escape alike their OBJ
servation and entreaties, which she did so efectually
that she was not seen again alive. The verdict rem
dered by the jury was, that the said woman came to
her death by an act committed while in q state OF
lunacy. =

THE YANKEES, whose departure had been delayed
from day to day for nearly a week, waiting the arri-
val of freight from Hi;o, finally got of on Tuesday
afternoon. She was not crowded either with freight
or passengers. Among the latter we noticed Mr..
M'Ruer and Capt. Brooks, late master of The Gambia.
As she was getting under way in charge Of the pilot,
we found in the cabin our friend Z. s., always on
hand when wanted, surrounded with a crowd of
townsmen and passengers, cheering the bark and her
gallant captain, and fairly making the stateroom
doors rattle with his hip. hip, hurrah." If the
Yankee don't 60 over inside of fifteen days, it won't
be for want of the hearty wishes Of those she left be-
hind. -
