NOTES OF THE WEEK.

The KnAuEA.-The last trip of the steamer tc
kawaihae, was a very successful one, and augurs
well for the future. At the latter port, she took on
board ffty-three head Of cattle (many Of them very
large and landed them here within twenty-four
hours, without unusual trouble or difficulty. The
Mary has heretofore been considered the paragon Of
cattle vessels, but the steamer has the following very
obvious advantages over her None of the cattle have
10 be lowered down into the hold. They are not in
such a close, hot atmosphere as when il the -N1ry's
hold, and not exposed to the sun, rain aud salt spray,
like those on the -HITy's deck they all walk on shore
at Honolulu without any hosting, and finally they
are delivered on the wharf within twenty-four hours,
instead Of being from TWO to four days on board,
while the butchers will be supplied once q week with
cattle instead Of once a fortnight.
\ change Is TO be made in the rig Of the steamer.
On her present trip. she will bring down the -Hdry's
mainmast, which viii be fitted as the foremost OF the
steamer, 50 that SIZE will carry a large fore AMI aft
foresail and two powerful jibs. Her present yards
will Of course be taken away, and she will have a
square sail to hoist. This rig is expected to save
from % TO 80 per cent. Of fuel. besides improving her
speed and time. The present yards with the canvas
fu-led on them arc q most serious impairment TO her
speed, when she has 10 90 right in the teeth Of such
gales Of wind o. We have recently hid. The change
in her rig will also have the effec; Of preventing the
rolling. which all vessels without sails set are subject
TO in a seaway, as when it Is blowing there are hard
ly ten miles on her proposed routes. during which she
WILL be unable 10 set her fore and aft canvas, and as
these will be made Of dimensions proportionate TO the
size Of the Ioat, they will keep her steady as veil as
add TO her speed and save fuel.
The MORRISON CASE AGAIN-As much has been
said on this subject Of late. we insert on our last
n .nf1 rcr.Vr - the case 81 far = the Enurr
Is concerned. s. an act Of justice TO the Court, and
ask those who are interested in it to peruse the
whole. The decisions in the case have not before been
given by Us. and Of course our readers are ignorant
Of them, except as discussed By correspondents pro
aud con. The decisions were printed awhile ago in
the Poiynesian, but that paper is hardly read out
side Of the Government Offices, and consequently
few saw them. We also insert two communications
from parties interested in the Morrison case, and
trust that these will close the discussion for the pre-
sent. A new trial can be had at any time, when
ever the sttorneys choose TO make q motion for il.
