NOTES OF THE WEEK.

HIS MAJESTY TIE KING took passage on We'd
nesiay, at 5 2. VI. in the steamer KJlaueu for Ha-
wall, intending to land at Kawaihae and make a
short visit at Waimea and the northern districts of
that island. He will be absent about two weeks.
Most Of the Representatives, from Maui and Hawaii

homes. -
= His Royal Highness Prince L. Kamehameha
took passage on Wednesday at . P. NJ, in the fine
clipper schooner Emma Rookie, for Victoria, Van
couver's Island. The Prince is accompanied by the
Honorable Levi Haalelea, and David Kalakaua. both
Mobiles. and by J. c. S~palding, Esq. After spending
about a week in the metropolis of British Columbia,
the Prince and retinue will proceed (~probably by
steamer) to San Francisco, and after travelling
through California, Will return to Honolulu, intend
ing to be absent about two and a halt months. 1t is
a somewhat singular coincidence that England and
Hawaii VIII each have one Of their Royal Princes
travelling in the United States, at the same time. 1t
Is now ten years since Prince kamehamcha returned
from his tour with Dr.. Judd through the United
States, England and France, and he will have an
opportunity Of witnessing how great changes have
taken place in san Francisco. We wish him 4 safe
and pleasant voyage and the complete restoration of
his health, which has SO recently received 4 severe
shock. Our best wishes. and those Of our communi-
", will accompany the party in their voyage.

the shame and disgrace of cur government, be it
said illustrates how easily justice may be pervert-
Ell in our courts. The facts, rs we understand them,
are these Mr.. Morrison. some four years ago,
bought a tract Of land on Hawaii, known a Paau-
hau, the size OF which neither hc nor the owners Of
the land knew definitely, they never having taken
the trouble to have the laui surveyed, and like a
great many other tracts on the islands, it was known
only by its name. After the purchase, he found the
tract of larger extent than he had supposed, and
sold y portion, which nc dill not wish 10 retain, for
some $4,000, more or less. The former owners, in

testify to certain material points in the case. Their
evidence was hlt!y rebutei by that Of two Of the
respectable foreigners, anu one native, living on
Hawaii, one of the foreigners being the Sheriff o: that
