:. sSankSte - ~
\ comparison of these statistics with those for
1860, shows a reduction Of tcenty-three hours in
the average of passages made between San Fran
cisco and this port the past year, which We
attribute to the increased knowledge and skill
displayed by captains on this route. A reduc-
ton of toenty hours, has also taken place in the
average of the passages of our regular packets,
when compared with those for the year pre-
ious. The three passages made in January
are remarkable for their shortness, one of them,
that of the ship FAIR Wind having been the
shortest on record.
While speaking of the route between San
Francisco and Honolulu, we may add that we

accident, during the past ten years-a fact
which renders this route one of the safest and
most free from marine casualties of all kinds,
whether of storms ut sea or from coast wrecks.
The prevalence of the trade winds during three
fourths of the year, makes the passage hither
not only extremely safe, but a remarkably pleas
ant one, while the abrupt shores about these
islands and their high mountainous land, renders
the approach to them at all limes, day or night,
very safe. These facts should be known by
underwriters, for we believe that their interests,
as well as those of our merchants, are secured by
placing the rate of insurance between the two
ports at 80 low a figure, that it may bring them
more business and yet cover all the risks in

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

VERY Understandable its issue of the 18th the
Polynesian gave a garbled report Of the proceedings
at the Palace, by emitting a portion referring to
the presentation of the American ofhcials. The omis-
sion was not accidental, for the whole copy had been
placed in the editors hands, but was made, as We
hear, to crafty personal feelings. Learning the cir
cumstances, we declined to make the correction, and
in thus doing compelled the Poiynesian to do what
it should have done in the first instance, viz to give
the report in full, for which correction. it boasts of
being very independent. The independence of that
journal consists in this, that if it attempts to blow
hot or cold, or disobey orders, it finds a chalk line
laid down, by which to walk.
~ The mail mat. er received by the Yankee was
very meager, and unsatisfactory. The overland
mails, appear to be getting worse and worse, as a
public conveyance. Letters and papers in great
numbers are missing. Some letters and account
sales of Importance are yet to arrive, though long
overdue, causing great vexation and inconvenience
in business. We would suggest that mail matter for
Honolulu be not dispatched by China vessels, unless
they are under positive instructions to touch at this
port. Several of these ships have gone past during
the two last months carrying letters and papers.
GONE PAsT-On Sunday evening, and also on
r-o-Is- n-n-;-- hetu aan 10 and II O'Clock rpnnrts
Of cannon were distinctly heard outside the reef, sup
posed to have been fred from China bound vessels.
They probably had no mails for this place, as they
must have sailed about the time the Yankee did. The
firing was heard very plainly, but it was too dark to
attempt to board the vessels, which did not stop till
morning. -
wREcKED-Capt. Rikeke Of the schooner Reoni
INA, Informs us that the schooner RdIihitUdi, IL
tons burthen, went ashore at kalihiwai, Kauai, Fri
day, February Il, and became a total wreck. A
very heavy sea has been rolling in all along that
coast for the last two weeks, which has considerably
retarded our schooners in performing their usual
passages, and also exposed them to much danger.
The YANKEE This favorite packet has again re-
turned to port, under command OF Capt. Geo. w.
Claxton, who has earned lsurels for himself and his
vessel. His passage over to the coast and back occu-
pied but % days sailing time, and at a season of the
year when long passages are more frequently made
than short ones. a memorandum of his voyage will
be found among the ship news.
HAIL-A correspondent whose letter is given in
another column, describes the hailstorm at Hilo on
the l4th. In some places exposed to the wind, bells
of hail were deposited fifteen inches in depth. Alto
gether it has been an unusual winter with US as

THE NORTH WIND.

BY MISS MULoCK. Loud wind, strong wind, sweeping o'er the
 mountains, Fresh wind, free wind, blowing from the sea, Pour forth thy vials like strains from airy
 fountains, Draughts of life to me. Clear wind, cold wind, like a Northern giant. Stars brightly threading thy cloud-driven Thrilling the blank night with my voice de-
 liant, Lo l meet thee there Wild wind, bold wind, like strong arm'd angel, Clasp me and kiss me with thy kisses divine {; Breathe in this dulld ear thy secret sweet evan Mine-and only mine. Fierce wind, mad wind. bowling 0 CT the nations, Know'st thou how leapeth my heart as thou
 goest by, An, thou wouldst pause awhile in sudden pa
 tience, Like human sigh. sharp wind, keen wind, cutting as word arrows, Empty thy quiverfull! Pass by! What is't
 to thee, That in some mortal eyes life's whole bright cir
 clc narrows To one misery? Loud wind, strong wind, stay thou in the noun
 tains, Fresh wind, free wind, trouble not the sea, Or lay thy deadly hand upon my hearts warm
 fountains, That hear not thee.
Litchfield enquirer., 1862-01-16

umphs That picture of Time and his glass and scythe,--it is said, so wrought on the mind of a delinquent subscriber to 8 village paper,-that he not only paid up his 3 years arrearages, but actually handed over to the willing and patient printer, years payment in advance.
 An, brethren--Such Picture as Time in the Primer is loud preaching,--and carries it's own arguments right to the spot. Look at him again; Head as bare as a Squash,-or Horace Greeleys; only little tuft of hair just above his eyes ;-- you want to make sure of him Well, step right ahead of im,--and as he sails along-you give your fingers twist into the old gentleman 5 foretop, and there you have him.
 tis like taking Turk by the beard. So you hold him. But o my belated friend, d,--trying the experiment of a stern chase. I saw you,- Others saw you ;-1ime looked back, and laugh. ed at your vain attempts to overtake him ;-run- ming, panting, wheezing,-clutching at that old bald pate-;-you made fruitless grab,-and Tine went on-which impressive fact leave to your own melancholy reflections.
 Brother Thorough work, please pass round the hat. We will improve the subject by timely application, end appeal to your pockets,-after which the congregation may consider them selves dismissed.

 FRIEND HUMPHREY :-Haviny just visited our camps and forts on the sacred soil" of Virginia, and observed some of the deences of the na- tion," propose to give you brief account of some items brought to my notice. Leaving New York at o'clock in the morning, there is a close connection of trains enabling you to reach Washington at o'clock in the evening. But if one has an appetite, he had better carry what he wants in his carpetbag, as he has little time to seek refreshments on the journey.
 One. who has often passed, over this route. in former years will be painfully reminded of the changed state of affairs, which the great Rebel lion has wrought. Far this side of Hayre de Grace. in Maryland, he will see on the line of the railroad, the white tents of scattered compa, nies of soldiers, and at short intervals ne passes little squads of from to tents each, xn,S nnS piekets along the track of the railrosa S ethar s. within seeing or hearing distance of eacn n otn;i' all the way to Virginia. and upon all .ae ta,l nt
