ult., preceded that OF the Cdn0Tldge with dates 10
the 25th of Sept. from your port, by a couple OF
days. The quantity of sugar by the latter is said
70 be the largest ever received at this port from
Honolaiu, say 600. 200 los. The vessels in port
now up for the islands arc the Princess, Capt. Gro
well, not yet discbarged; the Syrea, now in the
stream, and the brig -4drance, loading for a trading
' voyage, 10 stop en- route Mt Honolulu. The Syren
has had rather hard luck. She met with very heavy
weather on her passage out, and after undergoing
thorough repairs, ready to leave, and in the stream
waiting for a crew, the whaling bark abigail, Capt
Nye, in beating out Of ths harbor the morning OF the
9th, came ia collisiou with her. Fortunately but
little damage was done to the bark, which after an
choring for a short time, proceeded TO sea. The
.SUren carried away her bobstays and martingale
and suffered some other damage. She has cleared
to-day for Liverpool, but that means Liverpool via
Honolulu and Bakers or some other guanO island.
The -7retic. Hammond, of c. Brewer s. Co.'S line of
Honolulu and Boston packets, cleared at Boston for
Honolulu on the 18th Of September. L send you
elsewhere an account of what perseverance and
pumping can do in the case of the ship -dnHe Jndry,
which vessel will be, when you receive inis, safe IN
your harbor. receiving her cargo OF oil. | hope the
Captain will have no occasion on his homeward
bound passage. from a like cause, 10 try what perse-
yerance, pumping and a little ale thrown IN will
effect. There is an sdage in the vernacular, which
tells, and he probably will be content TO receive it
for an aphDrism, without putting its veraci;y TO the
test OF trial. OF whaers, as 1 mentioned above, the
Abigail has sailed on "A cruise. The clipper ship
JarincibIe has taken all the oil on board she can,
and will shortly sail for home ports. I note arrivals

says Of the arrival Of whalers:

Markets for Hawaiian Produce.
SrGAR@.-Tbe importations of Raws for the past.
fortnight from all sources reach 1854, 100 pounds,
756, 700 pounds of which are Hawaiian. If the
cargo OF the Trieste, from Remedies, Cuba, be
added to this amount, being about 500, 600 pounds,
il gives q grand total Of nearly 100000 lbs.
In face of this heavy quantity, (amounting to fully
the production Of the Hawaiian Kingdom. for 1863,
notwithstanding the impetus which its cultivation
has received, and the large balance in warehouse
unsoIi, which is outside Of balances held by the
Refneries, set down as 8, 200, 900 lbs, the market is
without buoyancy, and prices favor the buyer. The
cargo of the Yankee was offered on the 18th ult.,
but owing to the apathy of buyers, who did not feel
disposed to avail of the ruinous rates current, only
samples were sold, and the balance withdrawn

Private letters from Valparaiso of September 10th,
state that the damaged portion of the Caesars coffee
from Rio, say 5000 bags, had been sold at public
auction, at u a &c 2 ID, for account of underwrit-
ers; a considerable portion of which would be
~reshipped to this port by the same vessel. The
Government authorities. however. had ordered 500
bags of the dam aged coffee TO be thrown into The sea.
I learn from the Coffee Roas:ers that the Sandwich
Islands coffee is not n favorite with them 10 purchase
for roasting. The loss in weight is most ruinous.
The fault, they say, is that il is shipped too green.
I told them in return, that Messrs. Aphis & Co, on
Kauai. Maui and Hawaii. don't think go, for they
consume i, without claiming any allowance for
greenuess. moisture, or imperfect drying. The bust

Consumption OF Pulu and a few Remarks
Thereon.
The consumption Of PuIu, as near as l have been
to get at the figures, is 80, 900 lbs per month, and
was gradually increasing until the present high
prices At these figures, 1t comes in competition
with hair, NOES, wool. &c, and loses ground. The
principal dealers are Messrs. J. Schneider s. Co..
who sci, about 40 900 lbs, and Mr.. J. W. Schafer,
who disposes of 10,O00 lbs. per month. Apparent
ly parties at the islands have TO monopOlize the pur-
chase and shipment of this article. and 1 leave it
10 the four political economists 10 calculate, whether
1t is best for their interest to maintain such a mono
polIZation and thereby decrease consumption. or
maintain a healthy trade By afording it at less rates
