HARPER's MAGAzINE-The March number Of thi
sterling monthly is received, and fully maintains its
position as the prince OF magazine literature. The
following commendatory notice of it, appeared recent
" in one of the Philadelphia papers:
HARPER's MAGAZINE Readers and correspon-
dents have often asked our opinion and advice upon
the subject Of Magazines-What IS the best Family
Magazine: What the most attractive, readable.
and useful What answers the greatest variety OF
purposes, intellectual, economic. ornamental, COM
bining solid interest and permanent value with the
largest diversity Of elegance, humor, and M!nstratlon 4.
and We have invariably answered, HARPER.
In Iced, Harper is the Peoples and the Worlds
Magazine, supplying the greatest range OF taste and
readers. Like our own great republic, 1t gives the
largest good TO the largest number-at once a Nov
elist, "A Biographer, Poet. Artist, Literateur, Irav-
eler, Engineer. Antiquarian, Naturalist, Journalist,
Humorist, Modist, Historian, EsSaylst, AdVlser-a
CyclOpedis of Universal Learning and Amusement
a Wonder of Cheapness and Worth. Ii may be new
TO some of our readers TO state that Harper has not
an equal or u rival in the World. 1t is the only
maya zine of a great kind. and it answers the widest
popular demand, governing all lis great variety with
a pure literary taste and high mora. tone. We DO not
know what class of readers il could not be recon-
mended with benefit. 10 those of cosmopolitan tastes
it is always invaluable; and 10 the historical student,
the patriot, the war reader, it is more than ever
necessary as a strict and faithful chronicle of the
times. We can cheerfully recommend Harper to
everybody everywhere.
- So anxious was Mr.. Sullivan to furnish us
with the account of the great battle. that the San
Francisco weeklies were sent down with only one SIDE
printed. They contained the full news, however.
~ The next news by the steamer J. I. Wright,

NExT NEws.-Tbe next mail will probably be
brough, by the steamer John T. Wright, which was
to leave San Francisco about April 20, and to touch
at this port for 100 tons of coal brought By the What
cheer for her. She will be due by Saturday or sun
day. The J. T. UTight is the old Sea Bird rebuilt.
Il will be remembered the latter vessel once visited
these Islands, and engaged for n short time as n
coaster. Some three or four years ago she was burnt
in Puget Sound, and from her frame and engines the
J. It. UTight was constructed. She is really a new
vessel, and said to be a very superior sea-boat. She
measures $40 tons, and cost the present owners about
SEA. 900.
- There were also two clippers-the Magnet and
Eagle Uing-to sail about the came time, but We
cannot learn that either of them intended to touch at
this mort.

To THE SAN Francisco PREss.-Of all the crawl
ing, despicable reptiles in human shape which some
times infest a community, there are few more loath-
some than that species OF scribblers, dubbed by
courtesy as = Correspondents" who seem to take an
equally malicious pleasure in abusing the confidence
of their employers and traducing. in foreign journals,
the country and the people on which they have fast
ened. Would they only show some regard for the
truth Of the facts which they sometimes pretend TO
uarraie, one might overlook the mud and the malice
with which these pretended facts are covered, but
when they invent facts that never had n shadow of
foundation in order TO display their scurrilous ribal-
dry and impotent malice. and by so doing poison the
opinion Of foreign readers. who have not the means
Of Judging for themselves; then contempt grows very
much akin to Indignation, and we think it becomes
the duty Of the home journals. whose country and
people are thus shamefully traduced. to expostula,e
with their contemporaries abroad for admitting these
anonymous correspondents to their pages who display
such wanton disregard of truth and decency, such
want of judgment.
We have several times noticed correspondences,

! To OUR SrBscRIBERs-we have had occasion, much
against our wishes, TO call attention to the ir-
regularities so very frequent in our inter-iSlaud
postal service. That q screw has been loose some
where is evident. Last week. We had q number Of
copies of the Commercial -9ireTfissr returned to Us
from a post office on Hawaii, which had been properly
mailed to subscribers residing at Koloa, Kauai.
: Accompanying the parcel was a letter from the
postmaster there, stating that these papers had
been received in the last mail from Honolulu, and
that there was hardly ground to wonder that COM
plants should be made by subscribers concerning
their papers when sent such "A roundabout road to
their destination. Here were several copies of papers.
lrith their addresses each clearly priNted IN large
type, directed TO Kauai, but sent TO Hawaii So far
as we could see, it was a case of the grOssest and
most ine1cusasle negligence; and as in duty bound,
we had to lay the matter before His Excellency the
Minister of the Interior, for his ceguizince aud action.
Following so soon after our having called public at
tention to mail irregularities, we could hardly credit
the facts. But the evidence is so clear that the fault
is solely in the Honolulu post-ofice, that His Excel
lency promptly took steps to investigate the matter,
and will no doubt take such action as may prevent
their repetition. We have already lost frO of our
subscribers ON the other islands on account Of these
irregularities, and there are others who still wonder
why their papers are from two 10 four weeks getting
from Honolulu to them. Our postal service is not
what it ought to, considering the amount expended
for it. Better to abolish it altogether, and return to
the old mode of letting papers and letters reach their
destination as best they can, without the formality
Of q pOst-ofice. The government might thus be
spared n heavy bill of expense, and those who have
correspondence to send, can look out for it themselves,
and have no one to blame if it is not carried straight.
- The complaints referred to are not confined 10
our mail matter, but are shared by the public gene
rally. a letter sent from the Department of Public
Instruction, covering an order to a gentleman at
Hilo, was sir lceekS reaching its destination, though
mailed about the time the sailing of the Hilo packet.
Where it went to nobody knows. Several important
letters mailed at Honolulu within the past few months
for the Sheriff of Kauai, We are informed, were only
received by him, after a voyage to Hawaii or else
where. These are some of the most recert eccentri-
cities of the mails.
EXHIBITION AT LAHAINA.-On Friday evening
last, an exhibition of the pupils in the English
school of Mr.. ID. ID. Baldwin, was held in the church
at Lahaina, which. we are informed by q gentleman
present, went off very creditably. both to the teacher
and pupils. The songs and declamations were oil
in English, and ELECTED much applause from the
audience.

accounts and partly from original sources. and may
he studied by foreigners. as a~ffording to learners of
the vernacular, some of the purest Hawaiian. For
the beauty and purity of its language, and on
account of the celebrity of the King whose biogra-

Hawaiian stories, and a valuable addition TO our
literature. We shall at no distant day give the

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

THE MERRIMAC AND MONITOR We publish on
naval engagement between these two vessels-the
first trial ever made with armored war vessels, 1--WE
can hardly call them ships of war; France and
England have already constructed several huge steel
clad ships, costing So, 500, 900 each but it is still
an open question whether two or three smaller vessels
like or n little larger than the Monitor, will not do
more service than one such ship like the Gioire or
VA rior. However, this is a new field for naval
skill, and all that has been done so far may be re-
garded simply as experiments, excepting the fact
which this first sea fight between iron plated vessels
has demonstrated, that no wooden ship of war can
ever successfully cope with them. Take the largest
Monitor or .Merrimac would sink her in ten minutes,
putting one of their heavy 800 pound shots or shells
through her hull, and sending her to Davy Jones'
locker while her shots would only rattle like " hail
stones on her antagonists roof. This engagement
will result in entirely revolutionizing the navies of
the principal powers, substituting iron clad for wooden
vessels. The cost of the Monitor is stated to be less
than $500, 900.
While speaking of this fight, ne may remark
Dental. for had she not arrived. the .Herrimdc would
undoubtedly have cleared Hampton Roads of every
Union ship, then quietly steaming round to Washing
ton, shelled the city, driving the President and Con-
gress out of the place, then proceeding to New York,
shelled and destroyed that large and wealthy port.
This is what she might have done, IF the Monitor
had not opportunely arrived and driven her back to
her secure quarters at Norfolk.

The PREVALENT SICKNEss.-The sickness and
deaths among the natives continue f%earfully frequent.
One day last week there were nine deaths in one
neighborhood in Fort street; and scarcely q day
passes without numerous deaths. The sickness
appears to begin with influenza or colds. followed
with fever. Those who are called to visit sick ma
tives, cannot but be panied with the sight of the
~discomforts of their tenements. Many of their thatch
houses are so ragged and exposed to the elements,
that the patient is hardly any better off inside than
were he left in the open air. And yet they appear
to prefer these discomforts, followed by inevitable
death, to the Accommodations of the Hospital. When
asked why they do not 60 there and be healed, they
say they are afraid to 60. And go it probably is in
N ny cases. But cannot something more be done to
stay this plague or to alleviate the suaerings and
check the decrease of the native population
