to it, with whom it has become q custom. 1t Is
an omen of a happy year in store for all who
observe it.
The day in Honolulu opened as lovely as a
May morning, with the air cooled by the heavy
rains of the previous night, and cleansed by the
accompanying electricity. Before noon low
ering clouds and a shower from the South threat
ened q gloomy day, but even these quickly scat
tered. and left US a lovely afternoon, giving a
lesson on the mutibility of-at least the weather.
Calls were very generally made, and every houce
appeared with open door, and cheerful faces
within, to welcome the callers. There did not
appear TO be so many gentlemen out as usual,
however.
Among the natives the day was generally OBJ
served as d holiday, and appears TO be becoming
more and more so each year. Feasts, numerously
attended, were held IN various quarters, and We
have never noticed the native population 50 well
dr. e-sed-joth male and female-as yesterday.
They appear to have the idea that because the
foreigners dre1s for the occasion, they should. It's
all very well and appropriate.
One feast and procession, in particular, among
the natives, attracted general observation. 1t
was that of the Kuokoa Society. They number
ed about eighty members,-all dressed uniform,
with white pants, black broadcloth coats, and
black bearer hats. The latter is u new feature in
Hawaiian costume. We were not aware that
there were so many beaver hats to be found here.
Each member had a yellow sash, with the words
IA Hui Kuokod printed on it, and the officers had
blue sashes with gold letters. The procession
formed about II o'clock, and was preceded by
the Hawaiian Standard, and a band of music,
playing national airs. Following the Standard
was the Secretary, bearing the records of the
Society then the Pre- -ident and then the Mem
bcrs arm in arm. We have never seen a more
spirited collection of Hawaiians, than was in
this procession, embracing many of the most sub
~stantial and influential natives of Honolulu.
After marching through the streets, the proce3-
sion went to the Sailors Home, where Capt. and
Mrs. Dat had prepared a sumptuous dinner for
the Society. Address We're made, and Judging
from all We can hear, the occasion was enjoyed
by all pre5ent. 1t certainly shows that the ma
tive1 who have been engaged in promoting the
establishment of Il new native paper, embrace a
large number of the most intelligent Of our
Honolulu population.
Altogether, New Years day in Honolulu was
quite an event, and appears to have been equally
enjoyed by our native and foreign population.
Though a little behind time, We wish each of our
readers a HAPPY New YEAR.

On THE BERTH-The clipper bark Yankee has
hauled to her berth, and is ready to take in cargo.
To look at her polished spars and new rigging. SO
neat and trim, is a sight not to be teen every day
As she leaves the ship carpenters hands, she Is
almost o new vessel, certainly as staunch and trim as
when she first Aoatei into the water at New London,
Capt Claxton, who has watched the work, and has
seen that it has been faithfully and properly done,
may well be proud OF his bark. for she looks as grace
full and pretty as a belle all powdered and rouged for
the ball room. She will be loaded with extra dis
patch, and sails the middle Of next week. as her
cargo is waiting and her passengers are impatient
TO start. --
MORE BURGLARIEs-All the burglars are not yet
taken, it would appear. On Saturday night, Mr.
Holdsworth's residence or store-rOon was en,ered,
and Bout $40 worth of goods stolen. In various
quarters We hear tat petty thiesing is frequent; but
for it there seems to be no remedy unless every house
holder arms himself with a pistol to shoot the h:st
i~nterloper providing about his premises at night
Pow .er and shot are arguments that should not be
resorted to until every other remedy has been tried;
but if the Ministry are disposed to encourage n
.' reign of terror there is no remedy but for every
one TO be on guard.
IMPROVED SroCK.-We hear that a sale OF an i'm
proved-blood horse was made q few days since for the
sum of $3.50. The horse was rai-ed on Hawaii, and
sired by Laurel, rom which ONE of our finest aui-
mails have sprung. He is of a dark bay color. three
years old, but a most beautifully-bu built animal, re-
minding one of the pure blood English trotters- We
are glad to record such evidences of Improvement In
our stock, and We trust before many years, we shall
not require to import cal riage and saddle horses from
abroad, but be able to show native stock equal IN
every respect to the best foreign.
A SMAsH.-Durin the storm on Tuesday night,
Capt. Luce's whaleboat, which was lying under the
yerandah of a thatch house at Waikiki, was taken up
by a whirlwind, carried over a grass house eight or
ten feet high and deposited between the house and
two cocoanut trees, completely smashed to pieces.
The vearandah was also demolished, but singularly
enough the house otherwise was left unframed. The
force of the wind must have been powerful, to raise
and carry the boat n distance of forty or fifty feet
an operation which one hundred men could not have
done. -
The SpEEDwELL-This vC>.el is anxiously looked
for. Capt. Harding of the Lucretia reported that
the weather had been 20 bad at San Francisco that
the bark had not begun to unload up to the 4th Of
December, and might not sail before the l4th. Even
if she sailed then, she is now eighteen days out, and
overdue.

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

QUEES's HosPITAL-The Executive Committee OF
the Board Of Trustees of the Queens Hospital have
issued a circular to each clergyman on the islands,
requesting that a contribution may lie taken up in
the several churches under their charge, on the
second Sunday Of January, 1862, for the benefit OF
the Queens Hospital.
The Government and the people have contributed
literally towards the support of the Institution, but
funds are still needed to enable it TO carry out the
charitable designs for which it was intended. The
Hospital is now furnishing gratuitous aid to the sick
and INDECENT natives Of all the Islands, and the Com
mittee trust that both foreigners and natives will still
contribute, as far as lies in their power, towards the
funds Of an institution which it is believed will COM
mend itself to all.
Those who may not desire to contribute through
the several churches may forward their contribu-
tons to the Treasurer of the Queens Hospital, c. R.
Bishop, Esq, Honolulu.
