Rice Culture.

Ma. EDITOR Through the medium of your paper
you will kindly allow me to congratulate the agricul-
tural community of these islands On the perfect sue
cess in the experiment of rice culture l have dis
tributed samples of the hulled rice, and all those who
have tried it have unanimously declared the Sand
wich Island rice in taste superior to any other i'm
ported rice-and even gentlemen who previously were
not very partial to rice-diet, declare themselves
very fond of the new article. 1 have left a few hun
dred pounds at the feed-store of A. d. Cartwright, for
retail, TO give to all who are interested in the success
of this new branch of our agricultural resources an
opportunity TO y Judge for themselves. Although the
new rice has not that inviting appearance which the
imported varieties possess, partly because there are
no means for hulling it as it should be done, and
looks a darker color, which latter undoubtedly is the
result of its possessing more heterogeneous matter than
other varieties, it is an article which cannot other
wise then become a valuable article for home con-
sumption as well as for future export, if once pro-
duced in sufficient quantities.
Respectfully yours, HoLsTKIN.

years the collectors duty to prepare these statis-
tics and publish them, and the publication of
them in a garbled form, as has been attempted
by the Polynesian this year, is not only a dis
courtesy to the Collector, but a gross imposition
on the public at home as well as abroad, which
the government ought not to sanction. Some of
the tables as published by that paper contain nu-
merous and gross mistakes, which any one (eyen
a .'marine reporter') would be liable to make in
attempting to overhaul the Custom House re-
cords. That our remarks are not unjust, we will
instance a few items, taken from one table, that
of exports, to show the discrepancy between the

The District Judge we need i'm the Country.

Mr.. EDITOR As We are not always satisfied with
the Judges sent US in the country, please let me
through your valuable paper, state a few of the quail
6cations we desire in the Judges placed among us to
promote peace and good order.
l. We desire a man that has not o great tract Of
land under his care, either his own or others; and SO
will not be liable to come often into personal collision
with his n~eighbors and servants, himself being Judge
and a party interested.
2. A man, who is not the creature Of one who con-
trolls the major part Of the property in the district,
and so will not be tempted to be partial, for his Office
sake.
8. A man, that has common sense enough to see
where justice lies, and frmness enough to act accord
ingly, without being warped by the crafty law quib-
bes Of pettifoggers.
4. An honest man, that cannot be bribed, will 90
for the right at all events; one, who has no candidate
of his own at elections, that must be got in by hook
or by crook, despite of law; one also, who will not re-
fuse to pay his honest debts.
5. 4 man also, who does not get intoxicated HIM
self, nor allow about him q company of constatles
who are frequently intoxicated.
6. One who tries to keep the laws Of the land him.

Our principal export, sugar, shows a decided
increase, and if the reports which come in thus
far from the plantations, are reliable. our exports
of this article for the current year will exceed
millions of pounds. Besides this large export,
our domestic consumption and the supplies dis
posed of to ships, amount to nearly a million
pounds, which indicates a rapid increase in this
item alone, and points it out as our main depend
ance as an export.
The following table, exhibiting at a glance the
totals of our foreign m for the past four
teen years, will be found valuable for reference.
