RoprRIcKAxA.-Joe Roderick has recently fixed
an his saloon, or rather saloons. and in the eating
.aloon especially, the oak stained pannelling, bright
psper, giIded mirrors, massive engravings, and the
bss oruamep:aI Ito the ~bOarder,) but none the less
Useful 60 the proprietary framed notices, which
,dsrn the walls, appear to bring out sllIies of wit,
rri,e.ble and otherwise, from the knot of good
suows which daily surround the sumptuously-spread
hard. Our Items Is by no means backward
in putting himself forward, but, we must confess
that the other morning ne was somewhat startled to
hear Boiled Simon called for, by a well known and
exceedingly amiabIe clothing dealer down town.
Visions Of cauuibalism and the authropophagi fitted
before his eyes; but his Mortified feelings were
a.suageI, when Peter brought and placed smilingly
before the hungry man the rich portion (the front

on Robinson's wharf 4 stone image, said to have.
been the guardian Idol Of Maaoa Valley. II is 8
feet high, with a lei about its neck, and the features
strongly defined, and representing a native of the
Hawaiian race. Ii has been removed by r. MUfiu,
Esq, to Kahuku. and this lover of the curious and
virtue (rerful intends to place him as 4 companion
to Kioi, another stone gentleman Of the same per-
masion. The history of the Idol is undoubtedly
most interesting, and We would like to receive it
from the Archaeological Society, recently instituted.
Our stulies have not gone back so far, green-b1cks
not she'll backs possessing of late the most interest
tus. -
COFFEE AND Rec PoL1SHING MnL.-We visited
yesterday the mill Of Henry Prehdergast, Esq, Civil
Engineer, where coffee was being hulied in the most
expeditions and thorough manner. 1t is such an i'm
provemeut on the old way, or ut least the work
sppeareI to be done so much more satisfactorily than
formerly. when we were in the coffee trade, that it
afforded Us much pleasure to look ut II. The kernels
were not broken, aud the loss in weight only about
90 per cent. The rice belonging to John Mont
gomery. Esq. was a fine lot, full grained, and the
poisher was turning il out equal to Carolina.
LENGTHY FUNERAL OBsEoUIEs.-Some nine months
since an eccentric but skilfull workman told his EN-
peyer, e we'll known mechanic Of our city, that he
should be absent a short time that day, to attend the
funeral Of a friend. By some mishap, he got on
board q vessel and sailed for the American coast. He

said, = Well boss, that was a long funeral, but have
got back ct last, and that friend is 6uTied"'
NICE JoE-At Hughes foundry, we witnessed n
piece Of work which had been done for Mr.. 7. Met
calf, of the Metcalf Plantation, viz, the welding of
an g inch journal for a sugar-mill roller. If such
work as this can be done, We see no reason why we
should have to look America or Englandward for
. great space of time. before We can have everything
done in our Island Home.
PERsOSAL-AmOng the passengers per kidUea in
her last trip TO Lahaina, we noticed II. NJ. Whitney,
Esq, Of the p C.. ..firerfjser. He visits Lahaina to
attend the examination at Lahainaluna. On his re-
turn, we expect confirmation of the truth of the rapid
growth Of Mr.. Oudinot's cane, as advised in the let
ter Of our correspondent : EgOmet" last week, and
other and interesting PARTICULARS of the nascent pros
perity Of that pretty town

evening last, with the lumber for the new trash house
Of the PriuceyiiIe Plantation, Kauai. This estate
will commence operations in all May, and We doubt
not from the experience of Mr.. McGregor, and the
perfection OF the works, we may look for some sugar
equal 10 any and surpassed by none from any of the
Plantations. |
Make PLAYTtTIoS.-Thi fine plantation has dur
ing the past fortnight been gladdened by showers,
and we understand commences TO manufacture sugar
this week. The many friends Of the worthy prOprie-
Tor will undoubtedly be glad to learn that the drought
previously prevailing has been checked and provision
made for carriage OF water, which will prevent en-
barrassment accruing from inability through lack Of
that element from running the mill, again happening.
CAUTION To WORCESTERSHIRE learn from IN
doubted authority, that a forged order has been pre-
sented during the past week, on one of our most
prominent retail dealers, and duly honOred- 1t would
be we'll for all concerned. if in the matter of orders
for merchandise, the same care was taken in the in
spection Of the genuiueness of the signature, as Is the
case with orders or checks for money.
DIsrIxGuISHED AEEIvAL-Among the passengers
6y the KTiauea from Maui, We noticed y. L. Ingols,
ESQ, for the past twenty months 4 resident of Ma
kena, :. E Maui. This gentleman informs us that
he intends residing here, until he leaves, and
when he leaves. it IS his intention no longer to re-
