furniture having been taken therefrom. The house
was unoccupied, but had been left in charge of a
native living near by, who appeared to be igno-
rant Of the robbery. The furniture was brought
into town, and disposed of at various places,
and will probably most of it be recovered. the pur-
chasers being the sufferers. Those who buy goods of
any description, furniture or horses from natives,
should be cautions lest it proves to be stolen proper
ty. 1t is an old game, in which many have been
taken in. The native engaged in the affair, has been

A ROYAL GiFr-The Emperor of France has add
ed another testimonial Of his respect for our Sovereign
by giving to him some of the choicest rams of his
focks, than which there are probably none superior
in Europe. Such little flvors do more for our real
and permanent prosperity than ten times the value
bestowed in ornaments. From an English paper we
extract the following relating to these rams. They
will probably be sent out around Cape Horn:
The Emperor of the French has presented four
picked rams, from the royal flock at Rambouillet, to
the King of Hawaii (Sandwich islands, They are
now in the care of Mr.. S. Spencer, an officer of the
Hawaiian government, who has brought them to
England en- route for their destination, where fine
wool-growing is becoming n very profitable business;
the King himself having established Il large flock in
order to encourage others in :his useful branch of
productive industry. The Emperor present will be
highly priced and appreciated.

MoRE SoNGsTERs--The bark r.. ~. Uool, which
arrived on Monday from Hamburg, has brought
another collection of birds to add TO the stock now on
this island. We found on board 20 canaries. two
green linnets, three gold snches. two chafinches. and
one thrush. Quite a number Of the original collec-
ton put on board in Germany died during the pass
age. We welcome these little strangers to our city
groves, some OF which have already been let loose,
and will doubtless find their companions among
those brought out in the same vessel two years ago.
Birds are becoming each year more numerous about
Honolulu, and their merry songs are often beard by
early risers. though they appear to spend the time
mostly in the vallies and mountains back of the
town. Messrs. HackGeld & Co., at whose expense
this importation of birds is made. we believe, deserve
the thanks of the public. 4
