Az OMEN OF THE FUTURE-On Monday last, there
was "A spectacle afforded to our citizens, probably
never before witnessed here by them-three steamers
leaving port at the same time. These were the {. 5.
ship Lancaster, at l o'clock, P. ", for Panama, the
Surprise for kanagawa, Japan, and the EItaueq,
our fine little coaster, for Hilo. How long VIII it be
before such events will be Of monthly recurrence
Perhaps years, but it will come eventually, for Homo
lulu is destined to be the center Of the transplciac
lines Of steamers between China or Japan and Pana-
ma or San Francisco, and perhaps between Austria
LA and California. This may not be during the
present decade, but the increasing trade across the
Pacific warrants the belief that it Will be.

folded and hoisted on it amid the cheers of i crowd
Of spectators. The crowd rapidly increased till the
street in front Of the building was filed, and being
somewhat patriotic, they called for a speech, which
was promptly responded to by C. c. Harris Esq, in
his usual teiicitous style, in which the flag, the
constitution, and the country were held up as more
worthy Of defense now than when our fathers fought
in l776. He was followed by J. c. Spalding and 4.
J. Cartwright, in some brief reuarks-the former
representing the old Bay State, and the latter the
hAHc Empire State. The proceedings not being
considered complete without the presence of the
United States Commissioner, Cofiu's carriage was dis
patched to his residence, Washington Place, and
soon returned with him. Col. Dryer, on coming
forward, was vociferously cheered, and made some
very appropriate remarks on the present stat. IF
affairs in America, the attitude which the Govern
ment had taken, the frmness Of President Lincoln.
and his determination to see the rebellion crushed.
After the flag raising aud speeches were concluded.
the auditors were invited TO a liberal lunch, pro-
vided in the store OF Mr.. Severance. We noticed hut
one - seceder - present, our worthy friend - the
- who was doubtless attracted by the quail
of the champagne, which lie declared was
even 10y the best 9 sparkling Lahaina. -
The whole affair was impromptu, and shows that
in Honolulu are true to their country
and their country's flag in this hour of its peril.

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

SUPREME CoURT,-The last P0lyHesiGD contains
a decision given by Justice Robertson, involving a
question Of some interest respecting the right Of
possession in goods sold and not fully delivered.
The suit was brought by the a~ssignees of J. 7.
Warehouse TO recover possession of thirty-eight
cases Of prints, sold TO him by Janjon, Green < Co,
and stored on the premises Of the latter, TO be de-
livered as called for by the purchaser, who gave re-
ceipts for the goods as he took them. At the time
the assignment was made, the goods were in their
possession, or rather in their warehouse. II would
seem that the portion Of the warehouse occupied by
the cases was virtually rented to Mr.. W. in con-
sideration Of storage room on other premises allotted
TO the above firm by him. The respondents claimed
the goods under the law regarding merchandise
in trGHsitu but the Court decided that the goods
had reached their final destination, 50 far As
regards the contract of sale, ard therefore the right
Of stoppage in traasitu did not exist at the late Of
the assignment, and further, that it never did ex-
ist in this case. The custom of Mr.. W. to give re-
ceipts for his goods as he removed them, is held not
10 effect the case 1t all nor does it give to Janion,
Green * Co, any right Of possession or control over
the goods, in case of failure on the part OF the pur-
chaser TO pay for them At o given time as stipulated.
The decision was. that the a~ssignees were entitled to
the possession of the goods.
1t Is generally understood and held in law that
in cases where sales are made on credit 10 a party
who fails before the delivery Of the goods, the right
of possession rests with the vendor. In this case,
the court holds that there was a full and absolute
delivery, and that the goods were stored in the
premises Of the buyer, although the premises are
in the same building occupied by the vendors.
The point Of distinction is certainly a very nice
one, but the argument Of the Judge is reasonable,
and his decision probably a just one.

The negotiations were completed last

Five of Anderson's men were woun-
ded--one of them thought mortally.
After the surrender boat was sent
from a ship of-war outside to Morris
Island, requesting permission for the
vessel to enter and take off Anderson s
command.
1t is reported Anderson's surrender
was because his quarters and barracks
were destroyed, and he had no hope of
reinforcement. The feet lay by for &c
hours, and could not or would not help
him. His men were prostrated by over
exertion. The explosions heard at Sum

the flagstaff was shot over, Wigfall was
sent by Beauregard to Sumter, with a
white flag, to offer assistance to subdue
the flames
He was met by Major Anderson, who
said he had just displayed white flag,
but the batteries had not stopped firing.
Wigfall replied that Anderson must
haul down the American flag. Surren-

EVACUATION OF SUMTER!
~;Ed Accident and Less OF Life--
One * He'd and Seven
Wounded.

CHARLESTON, April 15.- The Con-
federate flag was hoisted over Fort Sum
ter late in the afternoon on Sunday,
when Major Anderson embarked on
board the steamer Isa6el His baggage,
and that of his men, was put on board
the steamer CHach. -'-..
The Isabel anchored off Sumter, and
will 60 out to o-night Monday, and Ma
jor Anderson and his garrison will be
transferred to the steamer Baltic, in
which they will probably sail during
the night for New York .a
Major Anderson expressed great re-
gret at the destruction of property, but
was overjoyed to hear that no blood had
been shed, his instructions from his
government having been to endeavor
to destroy the works of his assalants,
and not to destroy life unnecessarily.
The first gun from Fort Sumter was
fred by Capt Doubleday.

son look hearty and appear to have

batteries.

almost as strong as ever.
Major Anderson said that. he cx-
pccted aid from Carolinians in putting
out his fire This, he said, was nothing
more than usual in civilized warfare
He repeatedly expressed his surprise
and qualification that there had been no
bloodshed, regarding it as an evidence
of skillful engineering.
The federal feet has been off the bar
to day, (Monday.)
Major Anderson has persisted in re-
naming with his men, who are greatly
attached to him, and he to them. They
have been in the Isabel since the evacu-
alton last night.

morning that British brig had been

morning.
The evacuation of Sumter was com
pleted by two o'clock on Sunday after
noon, and Maj. Anderson and his men
came out with the honors of war. This
was granted by General Beauregard
after an unconditional surrender.
There has been great commotion in the
harbor since the cessation Of hostilities

Fort Sumter in the Virginia Convention

RICHMOND, April BIN the Con
vention, to-day, Carlisle and Early de-
precated the action of South Carolina
in firing on Fort Sumter, and expressed
devotion to the Stars and Stripes.
The Secessionists replied applauding
the gallantry of South Carolina, and
claimed that whatever the Convention
did, the State would 60 out of the Union.
The Governor communicated a dis
patch from Gov. Pickens, giving him an
account of the bombardment, saying:
"There is furious fire on US from
Sumter, but we will take the fort and
can sink the fleet. If an attempt is
made to land elsewhere, we can whip
them. We have nearly seven thousand
of the best troops in the world, and a
reserve of ten thousand. We Will
triumph or perish. Let me know what
Virginia will do?" In the debate 1t was
said the Southern army would march
