PREPARATIONS FOR TIE Dull SEAsoN.-Our friend
Mcintyre, on the corner Of King and Fort streets, has
put up what a Cinnamon would call, in Canton
English or broken China, a stool-pigeon for the
accommodation Of the foot-sore, weary or inquisitive
way-farers. The seat was suggested by Il well known
and popular pilot, from whom a suggestion to our
worthy friend stood in the light of a command. a
further Improvement is contemplated, viz to put a
lantern at the top of the post, in order to rarn late
returning devotees of Bacchus, that there is a lodging
house in the immediate vicinity, easy Of access, the
custodian of which turks SolaslrhereS near that light.
a wink is as good as a nod'' to n blind horse. The
man with the " black bag has come 10 the conclu-
sion that four men sitting on the seat, dos-G-doS, can
not possibly lock into each others business.
INTEREsTING.-In the exodus of passengers, which
at this season of the year as regularly takes place as
the migratory fight Of birds at the allotted time, we
notice the name of Mr.. J. II. c. Richmond, formerly
the accountant of Messrs. Wilcox, Richards & Co.
Mr.. Richmond is a prominent member of the highly
honorable and distinguished body of the b. y. VI. S.
F.. \. 7. c. o. T. n. A. l. Of Boston, L. 5. A., and,
as the latest returned member, will probably deliver
the lecture before the VI. c.. \. of that city. The
day appointed by long established custom, is the 1st
Of April of ench year. The subject chosen by Mr..
Richmond, is The Sandwich Islands " and its
destiny. We have been promised a copy of the adj
dress md shall UubliSh the most imDortaut marta IF
it, on a subject so deeply interesting to all lovers of
the Hawaiian nation. Jar smOkeat tiRSeG,'' in
the words of the Hon. Society's proud motto, which
dates from y. D. 1888.
Observation-Disclosures Engine CO. No. 2, held their
annual meeting on Tuesday evening, at which the
following officers were elected
a. J. CARTWRIGHT, Foreman.
W. b. WRIGHT, asst Do.
J. ShrWEs, SecretIry.
}. STEWARD, Treasurer.
1t is a compliment to each Of the above officers,
that they have been reelected, some of them having
served several years The company numbers AZ ac-
tive members, and has managed during the past
year to pay all it's own expenses without any outside
assistance, and to have a small sum at interest as II
nest egg. -
PACIFIC No. 80 the Rescue When did that
new engine arrive" was n question we heard the other
uay, - StNeId! persons ere obSt Wig IL HtU dnd
beautiful engine = Pacific No. s." which. under the
skillful artistic touches Of the Chief has become
metamorphosed into one of the prettiest specimens of
Engine architecture we ever beheld. She is painted
pure white, with the finest China zinc. with tasty gold
and silver ornaments, and look. as superb as a bridal
Queen. The company's motto, ITO the Rescue"
(painted on the engine,) is very appropriate. No. ,
may boast Of their new engine, but No. 5 Is not
ashamed of theirs, and won't resign the laurels till
they are fairly vanquishei.
y The Steamer went out again for Hilo on
Monday crowded, rs on her previous trip, with a deck
Of passengers and a full freight. There was
nothing unusual t~ranspirei TO cause so large a num-
Of passengers as left on the occasion, which fact
indicates that she has passed through the period CT
uncertainty and established herself as o paying and
institution. The natives proverbially love
10 90 with the crowd. 1t was so with the steamers
Point and .Iiamai, which, several times. car
rs large or a larger number than the KI01ca
on her last trip.
y The Comet sailed on Monday last with n full
reight, 81 passengers. and the American mails. We
ire glad to see her so well patronized. Her freight
md passage money this trip over, will probably
mount 10 II, 2OO-a very handsome sum consider
NC the times. Now that we are reduced TO two regu-
ar packets, the Comet and Yankee, we trust they
will be kept running briskly, and make short stays
n port. and short tacks at sea. They are both
uperb vessels, and no one can complain Of want Of
onfort while on beard Of either vessel.
TIE YANKEE will be due on Tuesday Of next week
he 18th instant, though if the winds are light. she
nay be out a day or two longer. She ought to bring
NO mails, those of Dec. p and Jan. l. 1t is possible
hat some transient China-bound clipper may touch
t this port, in the interim, though We know Of none
kelly to do 50. -
