Fort Street Select School.

Being one that has patronized and watched the
progress of the Fort Street Select School, from the
beginning, which was established by Mr.. Brewster
about three years since, as q private enterprise, and
had hoped that ii would have been more especially
commended by some more disinterested observer.
Without asking aid in establishing q school for
the education of the younger children of the COM
nunity, Mr.. and Mrs. Brewster and Miss Truesdsle
Their sister, have secured the public patronage. by
4their superior ability as Teachers and disciplinarians,
so that they have now in charge the education of over
fifty pupils, whose recent examination at the close
of the term. interested and astonished all who were
privileged to observe the progress they were making.
Seldom has one. who has been accustomed TO
attend upon such occasions, been more gratihed
than on this occasion by the observation of like
quiet discipline and thorough drilling in the elemen-
tary branches of education, manifested by all the
classes.
All of the parents and guardians present were
alike %gratifed, and the children appeared to appre-
ciate the advantages they were enjoying, and to love
and respect those who have devoted their time and
talents and affections to fitting them for future use
fullness.
Not only the teachers, but the scholars under
their influence, commended themselves especially to
all who witnessed their intellectual improvement
and moral department, and if the public does not
appreciate and value the merit, that has, unaided,
established n superior school in Honolulu, the chill
dren who have enjoyed its advantages, in future
years will honor the memory of the teachers in the
Fort Street Select School.
And it is to be hoped that the patronage that
has sustained the private enterprise we are COM
m~ending, will become more general and efficient and
that the rising generations MAJ not be deprived of
the advantages but few as yet have enjoyed.

TEE arrival Of the clipper ship Flying Eagle, on Monday
last, placed us in receipt o. San Francisco papers Of August
18Th and 18th, and New York papers Of July 2lst- Our Eastern
telegraphic advices are TO August 18Th. Gold had advanced a
little and was quoted a. I5i per cent prem The news Of the
loss Of the Golden Gate and her treasure, wtea received in
New York, will probably create 4 still further advance in the
premium on gold
In the Eastern markets, produce ruled at extremely low
rates, but there was much speculation in articles affected by
the war, sugar, coffee, tobacco, tuIpentine, &c.
The sugar taken over ky the SpsefreH, (12Oo0 lbs was

e Capt. M'Intyre, late of the tug-boat Pee,
has been appointed a pilot, and Capt. S. James
displaced. The latter gentleman has been acting
as pilot for the past year under Capt. Howland's
commission, and has given great satisfaction to
all. Though he long since applied for an
appointment to that Office, and the Collector
formally nominated him to the Minister, vet his
claims are now set aside, and another appointed.
While we have no fault to find with the new
incumbent, we feel it to be a duty to raise our
voice against this tyrannical act of the prori-
sioHdi Minister of Finance, in thus riding rough
shod over the claims of ore who has performed
the service with the most entire satisfaction, and
who justly merits the place.
This is the last official blunder made by a
laundering Minister of Finance, who is still per-
United to continue his tenure of tie office. and
perpetrate acts which disgrace the government.
How long shall this be permitted? Must the
voice of the people be again raised against a
public officer, who has been condemned before
them, but is still allowed to act with disgrace to
his Office? Must the people be reused up to other
and more effective measures to carry out their
verdict, already recorded against him? Let not
our government delay too long in cutting off 4
man whose every act is 10 harrass the public and
weaken the government. Dismiss the Minister
at once, and thus remove one of the most %irrita-
ting grievances existing on the part of the people
against the administration There is q point
beyond which forbearance is a crime"

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

The LATE PRINCE ALBERT.-On Thursday last,
the remains of His Royal Highness lay in state from
s A. NJ. till noon. During the first hour the diplo-
matte corps and their families visited the Palace, and
at 0 o'clock the gates were thrown open to the public
generally. The body lay in the Throne Room, and
was most beautifully and tastefully dressed in white
satin, and the corpse appeared as lifelike as if the
child was only sleeping. A constant stream of visi-
tors passed through the Palace during the three
hours, and crowds of natives filled the Palace grounds
and thoroughfares leading thither, who gave way to
their ancient custom of wailing-One of the most
affecting exhibitions of sorrow that can be imagined.
By the following circular which has been issued, it
will be seen that the funeral is to be n private one on
Sabbath next at the Palace.
CIRcULAR.-The Ceremony of the Funeral of His
late Royal Highness Albert the Prince of Hawaii.
will be performed at the Palace, at ii O'Clock, \. NJ,

a FAMILIAR FACE.-Capt. Walden of the clipper
Flying Eagle, which touched at this port on Mon
day, is an old acquaintance of some of our residents.
He was here in the brig Tuskar, in 1850, which was
condemned, and her hull lay for a long while at
Robinson s. Co.'S wharf. Capt. w. notices many
changes in Honolulu during his absence, but a gene
raj improvement and growth in the place. We hope
he will visit Honolulu again before many months,
where he will always be welcome.
