sorrow which that event has created among al
classes. Nor are these expressions the mer,
ebullitions of momentary grief, but they are tht
deep, soul-stirring utterances of the disappointe(
expectations and hopes of the nation. 1t is tru,
the Prince was yet young, and was only begin
ming to become known to the people who loved
him because he was the Prince, the flower and
hope of a royal house as illustrious in Hawaiian
History as that of any royal stock to any other
nation. Though young, all eyes were turning
towards him, hopes were forming, and prayers
offered that he might become an honor to the
throne and a blessing to his people.
These expressions of sympathy are meet for
the occasion, and while they are evidences of the
keen sorrow of IA loyal people, have, no doubt,
been as kindly received as they were cordially
rendered. 1t was eminently proper that the
citizens Of this metropolis should assemble and
give utterance to their sentiments. Although
many of them are simply strangers here, the act
is none the less appropriate. The meeting
which was convened on Thursday last, called
together, at the Court House a number of our
citizens, for the purpose of adopting some ex-
preston of sympathy with their Majesties on the
bereavement. 1t was organized by appointing
b. F.. Snow, Esq, Chairman, and Jas. w.
Austin, Esq, Secretary. After a few remarks
from several gentlemen present, a committee of
five was appointed to draft an address to His
Majesty. On the following day, an adjourned
meeting was held again at the same place, and
the hall was crowded with both foreigners and
natives. The address which had been prepared
by VIM. L. Green. Esq. was read in English
and Hawaiian, and was SO appropriate and ex-
pressive of the popular sentiment, that it was
unanimously adopted, without debate, and or
dered to be presented to His Majesty, through
Prince Lot, by a committee of four citizens, con-
sisting of Messrs. w. L.. Green, f. 0. Hall, A.
Moku, and Moehonua. The. following is the
address
To 71er Mejestiss; K@%ehGmeha ~ ami Queen Emma:
