NOTES OF THE WEEK.

New PIcrrnE GALLERY.-Our . picker-up Of
triaes,' while wandering around on the wharf for
an item, had his attention called 10y enc of our down
town merchants, to a picture gallery opened under
the building on Charlton wharf. On the walls can
be found evidence that we have an artist among us
whose illustrations would improve Frank LesHe's or
the Messrs. Harrer's papers. LIST, can be seen va
riUus circus sketches, some OF the feats there pictured
seem almost Incredible; n, The Heenan and Savers
fight; 81, \ capital picture OF the Nettie Merrill;
4th, The Jenny Ford; 9th, y vaquero lassoeing a
wild bull; 9Th, Nette Merrill again; 9Th, The Us.

Emma Rookie. On the other side, Is the funeral pro-
ce,,iOn Of General Washington, which pictures Mrs.
". in hoops following the body weeping. Follow
ing tie heayse are some ofthe most important officers
OF state, (caricstures Of local pelsoueges, We judge)
Those who have not seen, them, should call and ex-
anime the progress % the fine arts in Honolulu. 1t
will be i've minutes we'll spent.
TITcoNB's GoLDsy SyEUP.-This superior article
Of extra Hawaiian syrup, manufactured at Haualei'
Kauai, nay be found retailei at s~a,idge's' OF in .
pronounced decidedly superior to the best East Bys-
ton syrup. Aside from the larger amount Of sugar
which it contains /; has this advantage, thai il mas
not ueen in the pine containers long enough 10 give
it That turpeutiue taste which Is often impaired 10
the Eastern syrup by the kegs after a sea voyage.
We rather think a key ,fit might sweeten the dis
position OF our sour-lookiug ~neighbor who presides
over Tie Government printing ofice. Il that fails
We are not sure that even u d~enjohu q aqua-tor,s
would improve MS temper.
House. MovIxG-Houciulu has already acquired
n rprufqti1r IN This trtvrl, If IuSiIp1S second IN no
other place. The large two-story frame building,
2Ox4O, recently standing opposite the French Hotel,
and occupied by Mr. Levers, was moved under tue
suucriuieuleucc Of Mr.. Vincent, to Queen street,
near the market. The building, having been raised
by jlck-screw>, was set on broad cast-iron wheels,
and thus drawn 10y oxen, a distance Of about one
quarter Of a mile. The time occupied in moving it,
after being fairly started, was only about four hours,
and it wa set down in its new location, IN rs good
a condition as when taken up. We understand that
its present owner intends TO fit it up as a vegetable
market for the use Of the natives.
The Commercials Of last week were sent up
By tine steamer and distributed to subscribers in
Lahaiua at 6 A. VI, on the morning Of publication
Thursday before they were circulated in Honolulu.
Subscribers Oh East Maui. Kohala and Kawaihae
received them On the day of publication by the
same conveyance, and copies were delivered in Hilo
the day following, i~Friday.) By a schooner leaving
for Kauai wednesday evening our subscribers on that
island also received their papers almost as soon as
those in Honolulu. Probably newspapers have never
been so rapidly circulated here before, which IS
due to the Introduction Of steam
NuUANu BHIDGE.-TIis structure, which has been
some months in process Of erection, Is now nearly
completed. Unlike the former bridge, it Is built Of
IL ,r-.,-l, cd, g,.-art'- r+,.,, T- III ,-G=ra,-
purposes. Will not last one third as long as "a stone
bridge would have done, though the cost is abou, the
same as that Of the latter would have been. The
bridge has a higher f,or than formerly, which is an
improvements; and if the road from it to the top Of
he hill is raised and well graded, it Will improve the
scent very much. The cost Of the bridge has been.
We believe, about $1,000,
