To Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Emma.
MADAM AS an old friend of His Excellencv the
Hawaiian Minister for Foreign Affairs, [ venture to
trespass for a few moments on Your Maiesty's notice
ior the purpose OF Offering my humble tribute Of con-
dolence for the sad event which has overwhelmed Won

For n sorrow like yours this world can offer but
rev sources OF consultations; but among those few NAV
De numbered the widespread sympathy felt for YOUR
lrreparaDie loss, and the high respect and admiration
IN which the late King was so justly held. not only
In his own dominiOns, but throughout Europe.
These are consultations which, it may be deyoutly
hoped, will administer some comfort under the be-
reayeIment with which il has pleased Providence to
visit Your Majesty.

distinguished for those high moral and intellectual
qualities whence exalted rank derives its brightest
lustre those qualities were nobly developed in the
pious task which occupied the latter months of his

The translation Of our beautiful Book Of Com
mon Prayer" and the desire to promulgate its sacred
doctrines among his own people, must ever endear the
memory Of the late lamentei King to Queen Victoria,

can Church.
That Heaven may be m~ercifully pleased to fortify
and sustain Your Majesty under this heavy burthen

- Inc hiSht IeV DlsnOp NIP, OF CALIFORNIA, IN
a letter to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. sent the
following message of coincidence to Her Majesty the
Queen
The Bishop wrote me of the loss the Church had
sustained by the death of His Majesty and the
Christian conduct of the Queen under this bereave-
ment. L have wished to convey to her an expression
or my sympathy, In some way which would be in
accordance with your customs and forms. ***~*
May L ask your Excellency, as a State Officer, to ex-
press to Her Majesty my deep sympathy for the loss
she has sustained as well as the church in the
diocese, and assure her of my prayers that she may
be strengthened and upheld in these days of sorrow.
The following is a translation of an interesting
extract kindly furnished by the Commissioner of
France. Monsieur Desnoyers, to the Minister of
Foreign Affairs:
Court Of Peru, at the opening Of the Judicial term, eth
The want of laborers all along the coast of Peru,
the fertility of the lands and the great demand for
their produce, tempted some spectators to offer to
the proprietors of lands to bring them Coolies from
the Islands of the South Pacific.
The prOprietOrs were in hopes to make permanent
settlers of these Islanders, who were just beginning
to value the advantages of civilization, and TO un-
derstand the necessity of labor. They intended
to improve their position, to remuuerate them for
their labor, by providing them with board and lodg-
ing, with good food, and with a salary calculated so
that on the whole they should be paid as our own
field hands This arrangement was to rest upon a
contract freely entered into by them, and so drawn
as to convince them that they were not defrauded by
the more intelligent contracting party, and that
their removal and settlement amongst us were to
secure to them advantages and comfort. Unfortu-
nately, ~cupidity interfered; the thirst of lucre made
the SPECTATORS deaf 10 the voice Of justice and the
claims of conscience.
Their intention and that of the Captains was to
receive ON board parties willing to engage their SER
vices; they acted as pirates under peculiarly aggravat-
ing circumstances ; the acts OF Blanheld, Turner,
Williams and others. amounting to enslaving free
men. The Code is silent upon this crime. This
omission may be excused. the culprits were not
Peruvian. Since there is amongst US n class OF
foreigners, who. under their nationality, enslave free
men, it is important that the Code should enact a
penalty, so as to avoid, for the tribunals, the neces-
sity of applying old laws or of adopting arbitrary
interpretations to reach the authors of so abominable
a crime as that committed by these Captains.

How COFFEE CANE TO BE UsED.-At
the time Columbus discovered America, it
had never been known or used. 1t only
grew in Arabia and upper Ethiopia. The
discovery of its use as a beverage is ascribed
to the superior of monastery in Arabia,
who, desirous of preventing the monks from
sleeping at their nocturnal services, made
them drink the infusion of coffee, upon the
report of some shepherds, who observed that
their focks were more lively after browsing
on the fruit of that plant. Its reputation
rapidly spread throug Oh the adjacent coun-
tries, and in about 200 years it reached
Paris A single plant, brought there in
1914, became the parent stock Of all the
coffee plantations in the West Indies. The
extent of consumption can now hardly be
realized. The United States alone annually
consume, at the cost of It's landing, from
fifteen 10 sixteen millions of dollars You
may know the Arabia, or Mocha, the best
coffee, by its small bean of dark color. The
Java and East India, the next in quality, a
larger and paler yellow. The West India
Rio has blush greenish gray tint.

RENTS IN NEW Manhattan
writes from New York to the London Her
aid that he advertised house to let on the
Sth of January, between Broadway and
Sixth Avenue, on Twenty-seventh street
He adds: "Before o'clock / had rented
the house and furniture for 81, 900 per an
mum. Last August [ should gladly have
rented it for $3.50, furniture included. -
Since ten o'clock / have had thirty persons
of respectability call, who regretted that
had rented the house, and would have given
me $4,000. The house l own, and in which
1 reside, l find l could get $4,000 for, fur
nished, and | have great mind to rent it
and go travelling for year. Two and a
half years ago could not get 500 for the
same house though 1 offered to lease it for
five years at that rate"

There are three or four papers In the
United States that want the war to cease
Just where it is, with no result whatever.
They wish it, like an old bachelor or maid,
to "die without issue"
Gen, George w Buckley claims in his
diary to have been the father of the reDel-
lion. We hear nothing about its mother.
In truth it never was worth dam.
During jeff Davis's late illness good
many of the rebels feared that he would die,
and quite as many that he wouldn't.
We have accomplished a great deal in
this war, thank God We have not accom-
plished one-haf of what we should have
done thank the Administration
Let us fight the rebellion with all our
might A war with no war in it could at
least lead to peace with no peace in it.
Horace Greeley, who has his own end to
subserve, prefers Mr.. Chase to Mr.. Lincoln as
the abolition candidate for the Presidency.
William Lloyd Garrison, who has no ends to
subserve but the ends of abolitionism, pre-
fers Mr. Lincoln to Mr.. Chase or anybody
else. Beyond all question Garrison is pro
foundly correct. His sagacity is internal.
The Boston Post has detected philosopher
Greeley in Irritation. The object of his
ardent attachment is Miss G. G. Nation.
The Boston Traveller says that Gen Hal
leck, as General-in-C Chief, has done things
that were very difficult Pity some of them
hadn't been impossible.
Our officials might possibly be forgiven
for scattering the Federal money if they
didn't scatter the Federal troops so outra-
geously.
1t appears from late letter of Mr. Chase,
that he has declined. But Mr.. Lincoln has
declined good deal more than Mr.. Chase
has.
There is some little meat still in the Con-
federacy, but the rebels are losing flesh
every day.
The rebels say one thing and do another,
and we hardly know how to take them.
The Chicago journal says that disap-
pointed ofice-seekers are getting up secret
movements against Mr.. Lincoln. If all of
them go against him, the poor man will
have no chance.
As we have more troops in the field than
the rebels have, every battle we fight against
superior numbers is evidence of unskilful
generalship.
Where are we drifting Richmond
Wing.
You and your Confederacy are not drift
ing at all, Whig. You and it are sinking.
The Administration requires great deal
of swearing from the people, and proyokes
vast deal that it doesn't require.
Soldiers sometimes profess to be spelling
for fight, but, if they fight and get killed,
they spoil faster than ever.
Let not the Government in fixing the
tax, forget carpets. They can stand large
amount of tacks.
Those who shaved John Morgan's head at
Columbus, disgraced themselves and not
him. And, if he shall execute his avowed
determination to shave the heads of all the
Federal officers he may capture, he will dis
grace himself and not them.
They are discussing in Congress what
they call the Grocery bill Thousands of
our people have rather inconvenient grocery
bills of their own.
