srsp TT HoxE.-H is seldom that our readers have
80 interesting a number of the Commercial to mail
to their friends at home. as the present. Over four
hundred numbers of the q extra were sent off on
Saturday. The present issue. however, contains .
fuller and more correct account Of the eruption,
which probably exceeds any thing of the kind ever
witnessed on Hawaii. Let the old folks at home see
the paper, and read the account for themselves.
THEarER-We believe the theater is to be closed
for a time. Miss. Granice, the energetic manager
ess and versatile actress, finds it don't pay to play to
empty houses. The season is very much against her,
besides we have been surfeited with theatricals for
a long time past. When the spring feet arrives the
manageress may hope for better success. We are sor-
rv to learn. too, that she is suffering from ill-health.
FoR THE VoLcAso.-H. B. Ms ship Calypso sailed
on Tuesday evening for Kailua, on an excursion to
the volcano. She took a number of invited guests,
among whom we noticed His Majesty the King,
whose curiosity to witness the eruption had been ex-
cited, and B. Toup Nicholas. Esq, II. B. M. Acting
Consul. The officers of the ship are provided with
instruments for taking observations on the mountain,
and if practicable will ascend to the crater.
On THE MovE--Three vessels are laid on for Ha-
wall, the Mary for Kawaihae. and the Ramoi and
Kekauluohi for Kailua. They were to have sailed
on Monday last, but the gale has thus far prevented
their leaving. They afford fine opportunities for visit
ing the volcano, and present indications are that q
large number, including some ladies. will embrace it.
The u. s. MAlI.-Both the Glimpse and adelnide
are fully due from San Francisco. One of them will
bring the mail of Jan 5, and they may be looked for
hourly. -
FoR THE EAsr-The Frances Palmer, under COM
mand of Captain John Patty, will sail to-day (Thurs-
day. at II o'clock, taking the o. s. mail.
A SpLENDIp PREsENT.-At the last regular meet
ing of Protection Hook and Ladder Company
No. 1, a beautiful banner was presented to that use
full body in the name of the ladies of Honolulu. The
following correspondence will explain itself:
To the Foreman and Members of Protection Hook
and Ladder Company, No. 1:
