humiliation At she same tilne Mrs. R. capnot be
ontdone in politeness or good humor, by any of
those who respect her position in camp as that of
a virtuous married woman, who loves and stands
up for her husband, be he drunk or be he SOBER.
She cooks for our mess; cooks well, and washes
well does all her hard work well, and without
complaint all she wants and will shave is polite
ness. Perhaps l tire you with my sketch Of the
Rogerses but have given it that you may the
more properly estimate the value of the many
married couples who are in camp, following the
tgrinl.Eisaged war. True enough it is, thatt
are many wives in camp, of:refned manners and
the first responsibility, here as well as at the cons
Portable homes they have deserted; but to these;
discomfort, which few Of them will ever wish
seayto repeat, no matter how noble OF self-sacE-
fcing may be their devotion to their husbands It
is really curious to observe how well add how
strictly the three classes of women in camp keep
aloof from each other, though forced, necessarily
to meet almost every day. AN occasional ard
rather stiff intercourse is INDUCED in, errather en-
dnred, among the5wiyes and daughters Of Colonies,
Captains, and other officers; these constituting the
first class. The rough cooks audswasners, who
have their husbands along, work together merrily
and mingle freely at all times; these form the
second class Tue third aud last class is happily
the smstiest: here and there female of elegant
appearance and unexceptionable manners; trply
wife like in ther tented ssclusoD, but lacking that
great and only Eipeaer, Of responsibility for
/ females in canp--tho marriage tie.

grow here and flourish as vigorously as in any
other land. Some may not feel satisfied that
hamehameha ". did not choose the religion to
winch hauikeaouli gave his preference, and may
feel sighted at the adoption Of a new faith. But
he IS not bound to follow the example of his pre-
decessor, nor has the new faith been adopted
because it is any better than those introduced
here before it. 1t Is the love of change and
novelty that has induced it. As we have seen,
kamehameha |. was 4 pagan Kamehameha IL.
abolished idolatry Kamehameha III. became
the friend and supporter of Congregationalism
kamehameha ". becomes an Episcopalian /;
kamehameha V. may be 4 Catholic: and Kane
hameha VI. Il Norman. One Sovereign can not
ordain what shall be the particular faith of his
successor, no more than a man can force his son
to believe and act as he did. Let us then hope,
that tie present act of the rulers of our
kingdom, may be a wise and a happy one for
themselves and their people and that knowledge
and religion, science, and industry in every form
may grow and increase, under their guidance
and fostering care.

{ the head OF this page, we give a table OF
the returns of the whaling fleet for the past
season. We find the fleet comprises:
II vessels from the Arctic ground,
l ship from the Kodiack '
= vessels from sperm whaling cruises,
/ from = trading voyage to the Arctic.
giving in all Il total of 81 vessels. The general
reports have been good, and the weather, in
the Arctic particularly, quite favorable for
whaling. Very few accidents are reported, and
no vessel has been lost. All the ships are now
in but the Florence, which was reported with
about 1000 bbls. of oil. She is bound to Hilo,
bat will come directly on to this port to
discharge her cargo. The Thos. Dickason
has gone into San Francisco, having had a good
catch and filled the ship. The Gen. PIKE is
reported as having gone South. The Zoe and
hohaia both winter at the North. These with
the vessels given in our table, comprise all the
fleet.
The northern fleet has done better than last
season, as will appear from the following
abstract
Total OIL & Bone. Auerage to ga. ship.
II Arctic vessels, 1900 brls. 10000 bn. LOLA brIs. I392S bn.
10 Och"tsk &" 1000 i" $4,000 " 942 . 1887 -
l Kodiack " 200 :. 1900 zoe " 400 -
These 81 vessels comprise the Northern fleet
for the past season, excepting the trader Veto
ria, which does not properly come into the
average,) and show a total of ,l55 bbls. sperm
oil, 2S,3l5 bbls. Of polar oil, and 1897, 500 lbs.
of bone, giving the average of the past season
tadding the sperm and oiD as $50 bbls. oil and
y, 800 lbs. bone. Were the THOS. Dickasoa.
Florence and Gen. Pike, included, the average
would be raised to about 900 bbls. to each vessel.
As it stands, however, it is a much better result
than last seasons, when the average was 500
bbls. oil and 1925 lbs. of bone to each vessel.
This Improvement in the North Pacific whal-
ing, which promises TO be permanent, will I'M
doubtedly give an impetus to the whaling
business, not only from Atlantic ports but also
from this port, and will also tend to draw
whalers from the South Pacific and Indian
Ocean grounds so that, in all probability, the
fleet at the North next season may be as large as
it has been this year.
We subjoin the following table, which gives a
comparative view of the North Pacific Whale
for the past eleven years, and the fuctua-
tions in the average
