For the route for which she has been built,-hohala
and Hlo-she is most admirably adapted and must
become a favorite. As she sits on the water, she re-
sembles = thing Of life, and is certainly the most
beautiful vessel we have ever had here. Her cost was
about $1,000, and she is worth every dollar OF that
sum. She made yesterday a trial trip of the port,
with His Majesty auj 4 number Of invited guests on
board. and worked 10 the satisfaction Of all.

life and their old age. had they employed those s36,ooo in the
establishment Of English schools for their children, which now
seem to he the great insurmountable want of the country
-POIynssian.
The above affords a fair sample Of the Phsrasaical
whining of the Government Organ. If the natives
Of Hawaii choose to invest S26 900, or even double
that amount, in property devoted TO Almighty God,
they have a far better right to do so than the Govern
ment has 10 squander annually $4,000 of the peo-
pies money in supporting a public press, whose IN
fuence and aim is to degrade religion and everything
that is good, and hold up itself and its self-righteous-
ness as the " chief end Of man" Why don't you
come out fat-footed and say that if the money required
for the public press were devoted to the establish
ment of English schools it would support at least
two on each island-all that the present wants of the
natives require, in addition to what they have already.
Such a course would be pure and unadulterated
philanthropy, while the above smacks Of the rsnkest
hypocrisy. -
LIBELLED-The American whaling bark FarOrite,
Smith, of New Bedford, has been libelled at Monga-
nui, New Zealand, as we learn from Capt. Tucker, of
the bark Isabella, which touched at this port on
Tuesday. 1t appears that a seaman belonging to that
whaler Struggled q rifle ashore. and sold it to one of
the natives, which by the laws of New Zealand IS q
heavy penal offense. The seaman was apprehended,
tried and sentenced to the penitentiary. The bark
was libelled by the government authorities, and
would either be confscated or subjected to q fine or
not less than $500; and in either event, it was
thought her voyage would be broken up. Captain
Smith, of the Farorite, alleges that the rife was
stolen from the vessel by the seaman. The ofense of
furnishing weapons to the natives, is considered a
great one in New Zealand. owing to the frequent
strifes between them and the settlers, and stringent
laws are enacted to prevent it.
TArR Nor1cR.-First, that on Monday next. will he held the
annual meeting of the stockholders Of the Hawaiian Flour Com
pany for the election Of fhccrs.-POlynfSidn
Take notice. secondly. that the above meeting did
not take place on Monday last, nor will it on Mon
day next but that il will take place on Monday,
Nag IA fact which We should not have felt
compelled to state had the PolyneSiaR told the truth
about it. -
HANDSOME CORN.-Mr. W. Chamberlain, of Waia-
has sent US a sample of some twenty ears Of corn
by him, which is worth noticing. Ii is Of the
borrowed variety, and the ears sent number from 500
TO $50 kernels each, of large size and well filed.
Such corn ought to sell, and doubtless will if offered
N the market. This specimen can be seen at our
,fice. -
