ACCESSION OF
HIS MAJESTY KAMEHAMEHA v.


1t having pleased Almighty God to close the
earthly career of King kamehameha ", at a
quarter past 9 o'clock this morning, l, as
KUHINA MI. by and with the advice of the
Privy Council of State, hereby PROCLAIM, PRINCE
LoT KAMEHAMEHA. King of the Hawaiian Islands,
under the style and title of k~AMEHAMEHA Y.
Cop PRESERVE THE KING,
Given at the Palace, this thirtieth day of
November, 1863.
(Signed) KAAHUMANU.
On Monday last, at 8 P. NJ, His late Maiesty's
Aids, j. o. Dominis, David Kalakaua, l.. Haa-
lelea, and Peter Y. kaeo, accompanied by the
Household troops, arrived at the Courthouse,
and from the portico, read the above proclama-
ton in Hawaiian and English. y crowd of
several thousands was present at the time, and
the most enthusiastic cheering followed the an
nouncenent of the accession of a new King.
The heralds then proceeded to the POst-ofice,
where the notice was again read, and received
with the same enthusiasm. 1t was also read at
the corner of King and Nuuanu streets, and
before the residences of the American Minister
and British Commissioner.
Prince l.. kamehameha, who has succeeded to
the throne az kAMEHAMEHA V, is an elder
brother of the late King, and was born Dec. II.
1880. He was educated at the royal school,
where the late King and his sister the Princess
Victoria were also educated, under the care of
Mr.. and Mrs. Amos S. Cooke, of the american
Mission. In 1919, he, with his brother Liho-
Tho, visited the United States, England and
France. accompanied by DR.. Judd, and on that
tour had excellent opportunities to become ac-
quainted with the leading statesmen in each of
those countries, as we'll as with the general char
acter and peculiarities of the people. About
two years ago, the Prince also made a voyage to
Victoria. and spent several weeks in travelling
through California, where he was the guest of
Governor Downey.
For six or seven years past, he has held the
office of Minister Of the Interior, one of the most
responsible and difficult positions to fill of any in
the government service. The knowledge that he
has thus acquired of the necessities of the nation,
and also the information gained during his
foreign visits, have we'll calculated him to oc =
cupy the position of Sovereign to which he has
been called by the providence of God, and to fill
the place with honor and dignity. The whole
nation looked to him as the constitutional sue
cessor, and will greet his accession to the throne
with Joy even amid grief.

NOVEMBER 2sTH-This Hawaiian anniversary &C.
CURED on Saturday last, and, as customary, was kept
as q holiday. During the forenoon the Rifles parad-
ed, and had a target excursion and practice at Wal
kiki. In the evening q reception was given at the
palace, which was numerously attended by the gen.
tlemen and ladies Of Honolulu. Her Majesty Queen
Emma presided on the occasion, the King being too
unvell TO attend.
In passing, it may not be cut OF place to re-
mark, what has doubtless occurred to every one, that
the keeping Of tro days (July 81 and Nov. 2S) as
the anniversary of the same event-the independence
of this KiDgdOm-eppears to be out of place or in-
appropriate. One day should be selected and kept,
and the other dropped. Whichever day is chosen, it
should be done by act Of the Legislature.
