The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1860-07-12

FROM FASSIsG's IsLAxD.-we have received an
interesting report from Capt, Keyte, which will be
found under the marine news. 1t appears from this,
that the schooner UGmp, which figured IN the
papers some months since. was little else than a
piraticai craft. The captain landed at Christmas Is
land, and destroyed a structure erected there by the
United States Guano Co., and took the lumber away
and sold it. Soon after, the mate left the vessel,
fearful of being apprehended for piracy. The WdmP
then managed to kidnap n cargo of natives from
Humphreys Island, which were landed at Kauai.
The natives of that island had been mourning the
loss of their relatives and friends, and anxiously
asked if there was no way by which they could be
returned to them. Our surmises IN regard TO the
conduct of Capt. Sinclair, of the Wdmp, expressed
at the time these natives were brought here, 1t now
turns ont, were well grounded, and the poor crea-
lures were stolen or abducted from the island.
A HARD ~CAsE-Marshal Parke left for Hawaii on
Saturday, to arrest, it is said, Mr.. J. I'll. Morrison,
against whom a suit has long been pending, and re-
Gently decided, by which not only has he been strip
ped of his property. but it is said he is now to be
imprisoned because unable to satisfy the judgment OF
the court. So far as the circumstances have trans
pired, it seems a hard case, and we trust that the
facts will be made public. Mr.. NJ. has heretofore
enjoyed a high reputation for integrity and all the
qualities of a good citizen, and if judgment has been
rendered against him by open perjury, and if he is
really innocent, his case deserves pull lie sympathy.
FROM VIcToRIA.-We are indebted to Messrs.
Janion, Green & Co. for Victoria papers to June 10,
received per Kathleen. We notice that the brig
Mary Ellen Formerly the Kauai arrived over on
the 18th of June, 10 days from Honolulu. She had
sailed again for Portland, Oregon. About $250.0 900
worth of gold dust had been shipped away by Wells
Fargo s. Co.'S Express, during the ten weeks ending
May 81. In one of the papers the rates of labor are
given. Bakers command $40 to $50 per month;
blacksmiths, "a per day; carpenters, So 90 to 81;
ship carpenters and c~aulkers, So; painters, 81; day
laborers, 50 "a 81 so; masons, 81; shoemakers, $50
per month, and board; walters, $50 per month.
THE KILAUEA.-We are asked every day when
the steamer will commence running. The Company
who own her are only waiting a response to an ap-
plication made to the Legislature, amending their
charter, which we hope that body will grant without
delay, so as to enable the vessel to commence her
trips early next week.
Elk MARY.-Those who are in want of first rate
Irish potatoes, should inquire for those raised by
Allen & Berrill, who appear to know how to raise an
article superior to the best imported. At all events,
the specimens sent US are not to be beat.
The MAIL-If every one has looked for the Yam.
KEGS arrival with the eagerness that we have, the
mail will be welcomed when it does arrive. She
probably waited till the LIST of July; and ought to be
in to-day or tomorrow, with two mails, those of
90 and June 5.
The COMET, owing to the cloudy state of the atmos-
phere in the west during the past few evenings, has
not been visible, but when last seen was receding from
The sun and earth, in an upward and south-easterly
course. -
FIRE--A fire occurred on Thursday last, near the
lew Hospital site, in which a small native hut was
oyed-loss trifing.
