DE1Tu OF Nh. E. B. HUSrLEY.-From Capt. Horace
Sherman. formerly master of the bark Cynthia, We
have the following particulars of the probable fate
and snding Of the remains of Mr. Huntley, who went
over to the coast in 1861, in the Emma Rookie, and
was well known to many Of our citizens. On the
9th June, 1862. Mr.. Hun,ley and Capt. Sherman
left San Luis, Lower California, for SOlada. Mr.. III.
was to take q direct course and Capt. S. a circuitous
one. Capt. =. arrived on the 81 July, and was sur
prised II to 6nd that Mr.. II. had not arrived. After wait
ing n few days, aud the horse of Mr.. II. having been
found badly cut in two or three places, Capt. S. pro-
cured horses and started in pursuit of his companion,
but after making every effort for nearly two months,
was about to give up, when he heard of his remains,
with valise- saddle and papers. having been found
(but everything Of value gomez some fifty miles out
Of the route Capt. s. had his remains taken and
decently inferred at the Mission San Jose, in the
Comondu burying grounds. Upon examining his
remains q wound, probably caused by a bullet, was
found cu his skull over the temple. At San Luis,
Huntley was supposed to have about him n small
amount of money, and it is thought some desperadoss
followed him out and killed him. although some

and died from want Of water. From the papers
found, we presume his relatives live in Hamburg,
Lyme Co., Conn. -
ACCIDENT AT HASALEI.-By 4 letter from Chas. F.
Newman. we learn, that on the Sth inst, the new
machinery of the sugar mill on the "PTinceville
Estate at Hanalei, Kauai. was for the first time set
TO work on trial. While the engineer and workmen
were absent Mt dinner q number of kanakas entered the
mill, and one Of them commenced fIolicking around
the kettles, for the amusement of the rest, when he
lost his balance, fell into one Of the kettles, which
was fIleI with water almost boiling hot, and got
badly scalded. The accident would not have been so
serious, had he not fooIishIy rushed into the river TO
coolhimseIf. which rendered the scald more severe,
his skiu coming off from both legs, leaving him a
pitiabIe object 10 behold. As he now is, it is ques-
tiouable whether ne RECEIVERS. In all cases Of scalds,
there is nothing that will give such immediate and
perfect relief as covering the scalded parts with dry
-four. -
OLD CASSOS.-On the wharves near the sugar re-
fnery, we observe some old cannon. bearing various
dates and nscriptions.-som Of them cast 60 to 10
years ago. Compared with the new and improved
cannon Of American and English manufacture, they
are clumsy-looking pieces. In calibre, they vary
from SIX to twelve Founders, but probably will never
be Of much use for service, and are only ut for old
metal for ~recasting new ordinance, which the govern
ment will neeI IL 1t ever constructs the lOng-talked
OF battery at the entrance Of the harbor.
SAD AccmEST-We regret to learn from Maui
that Rev. G.. 3. Andrews met 4 serious accident at
Waihee, one day last week. He was yoking a pair
Of oxen, when one of them struck him in the mouth
With his horn. knocking out two of his teeth, and
tearing his cheek open from the mouth to the ear.
Fort SUMTER.-Sunday last was the anniversary
Of the commencement of the American civil war, by
the attack on Fort Sumter by the rebels, which oc-
Cured on the 18th of April, 1861. The fort capitu-
lated on the 18th of the same month. 1t is more
than likely that a second attack has ere this been
made on the fort and city, but with what result
the next arrival may determine.
LAHAIyA SUGAR WoRKs-The Lahaina sugar COM
pany have made an arrangement with Mr. Heron, a
professional engineer. who came out in the steamer
Thames, to superintend their works. The prospects
Of the company are now very fair and improving as
their mill and machinery is being brought into SER
vice. -
