observation being made that, from a worldly point of
view, the Episcopal Office here would be no gain to
him, but quite the reverse. Surely. Sir, q man OF
great scholarship and atEainments at Cambridge, the
principal for many years of q Metropolitan Training
School, and one, who all must admit who have the
honor of his acquaintance adds to these, under the
most unassuming demeanor, the qualities Of a
Christian and a gentleman-a man too who has. IN a
worldly sense, been a loser by coming here-has
some claim upon the Sovereign and people Of this
Kingdom. If there is one Office for which such a
man is fitted, should think most people would say
it was the Presidency of the Board Of Education.
Possibly these opinions of a new arrival and q
"Britisher" may not be deemed very smart or very
valuable, but as | shall in all probability become q
permanent resident at Honolulu, and may possibly
have some stake in the country at a future time, |

SUPREME COURT.-The Ap>A term OF this Court
was held during the past west& by Associate Justices
Robertson and Davis. The Il. Sket was an unusually
small one, and the cases OF ttE little public interest.
An alleged case of attempting 50 smuggle, sent up by
the new Police Justice OF Has olulu, presents, how
ever, some peculiarities in it~ssreatment worthy Of q
passing remark. A passen% r By the Comet was
found to have in his trunk GONE trifing matters
which were not personal ~bagfE.ge, and were seized
the value We believe was somS ling over 500. On
the first hearing before his III Cor, he decided to fine
the party under Section 659 i ivil Code. Counsel
taking exceptions to his Jurisdiction, the Justice
amended his decision by splitis z the section into two
parts, decreeing a confscatics of the articles seized
on the frat part of the section, and committing de-
fendant for trial at the Supreme Court, on the latter
part, that is-the amount he ~hould forfeit and pay.
The Supreme Cour; decided that either the Police
Judge had or had not jurisdiction under the section.
of the Code, and that he could not do the thing half
way, and so remanded the case back to the Police
Court. On Wednesday last, the Police Magistrate
proceeded, de moro, to pronounce judgment on the
case. under the lrhOle section, decreeing that defend
ant should pay 1922 so and forfeit tie goods. 4 petition sign
ed by several merchants was sent to the Minister Of Finance.
praying that the defendant be released from payment of the
fine, which has been refused on the ground that The evidence IS
clear and positive against the accused. 1t is time that this
system Of petty smuggling was brokea up. which has long been
carried on at this port, and the officers Of the law should be
susssined in their efforts to DO so.

The Board of Education.

SIR Your paper no doubt reflects faithfully the
opinions of q large and influential section of this
community; but it being the only newspaper in the
islands, except the Ruoboa printed in the Hawaiian
language, (which, permit to say, as a man for many
years connected with the Press, is in my judgment
an evil, however ably conducted the paper may be,)
they who differ from you in opinion have no means
Of making their notions public unless you will throw
open your columns to them. Regrettin &. therefore,
that there is no other journal at Honolulu to whose
editor l could write, l nevertheless claim your indul-
gence to say a few words in reply to your article of
Saturday last, in reference to the appointment Il Of the
Anglican Bishop to the Presidency OF the Beard of
Education.
The appointment having been virtually made al
ready, ii is not very likely that the King and Council
will alter it in consequence of anything that you, 1,
or anybody else may say pro or con, but L wish
to say that 10 many in this community, the appoint
ment will be regarded with the greatest satisfaction.
Of course, it would be -presuEptuous in me, as a
new arrival here, to say anything about the merits of
parties to whom you allude as better fitted for the
ofice-of whom 1 know nothing; but 1 do know, and
every well-informed man in England knows also,
that the qualifications of DIR. Staley for such a post
are Of no mean order. His Lordship. if l may be
permitted to call him by his title, was a very distin-
guished scholar at the University Of Cambridge,
where, 1 think you will allow. n man must have
great talents, or great industry. or both. in order to
himself; and afterwards rs principal OF
the Training College at Wandsworth, near London,
he gained the highest reputation both at home and
on the Continent.
In England 1 did not know DR.. S;aley even by
but l have heard his name repeatedly men,
toned by university men, as o man of mark; and at
time Of his conservation. I we'll remember the

Correspondence of the Fs,ifc ConI Adrertiser.)

Mr.. EDIToR-Dear SirT-I wish to draw atten-
ton to the fact of the psYlic having to pay four
cents on each American newspaper as well as on
English newspapers whics have had the American
postage prepaid. Postmat esc General Blair, of the
United States, | hear. has sefitten to the Postmaster
General here, acknowledging the proper charge to be
just one-half what the wlt5!e community here have
been paying for a long Aiae. The mistake arises
from the Postmaster in Ssxr Francisco, charging the
Hawaiian Government too 3nGch. but it is no apology
for the Hawaiian Postmaster General, because a
wrong way bill is sent dos4.. with the mails, that a
wrong charge should be naa &c on the public or their
newspapers withheld. ThGfureigners here as well as
Hawailans should be protected in their rights, and
| have no doubt when she tcts become known to the
Minister Of the Interior, such instruction will be
given by him as the Postmaster General here, will
then know how to act. ana the grievance Charging
four cents instead of two cents on each prepaid news
paper) cease 10 exist.

Honolulu, April 4, 1864.
The subject alluded to by our correspondent is of
some Importance, and as there has been a misin-
depreciation of the law by The Postofice authorities
in San Francisco, we have obtained permission from
the Postmaster General to publish q letter received
by him from Washington, which clearly states that
papers for these islands are on the same footing as
papers sent to various points in the United States
1. e., the postage that has been prepaid, is all the
american postage that can be claimed On them. The
following is the letter referred to:
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Posi- OFFICE !
DEPARTMENT, WAs@SGToS. Jan. %. 1865.
Sir:-I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt OF your
letter of the 9th November last, respecting the char es made
by the San Francisco Post Office OF two cents on each pr epdid
newspaper dispatched from that of5:e to the Hawaiian Islands;
and TO inform You in answer, that ;tptice of this practice having
been given To this Department by Che publisher Of the Pacific
Commercial 1dUeTtiser of HonOaIlu, the Postmaster of san
Francisco was instructed. on the All November last. that news
papers, magazines, &c, mailed at fs Office and addressed To
the Sandwich Islands. whether coIuS1g from the office of publ
cation or transient, are subject to til established rates of United
States domestic postage, the same = charged upon similar pa

Union. Therefore newspapers, 81. for the Sandwich Islands,
whether transient or sent to OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, upon which the
United States domestic rates Of Ssstage have been prepaid,
should be forwarded TO their des.1sation tcithOut additional
charge. 1 presume the practice q which you complain has,
ere this, been discontinued.

STEAM Across THE PAC1FIc-We trust the day is
not distant when We may chronicle the establish
ment of a permanent steam line between San Fran
cisco and China via Honolulu, by Americans and
under the patronage of the American Government.
The line, about which so much has been said a
year ago, appears to have been given up-why, we
know not, unless it was because the vessels were
found to pay better running between Chinese ports
In the Boston Commercial Bulletin of a late date,
we find the following item. Capt. Forbes is one of
the most enterprising Bostonians living, and it may
be that the vessel he is building is to become the
pioneer of 9 new line. AS soon as the war is ended,
American foreign commerce will receive a new and
increased impetus, and will more than regain what
it has lost
Capt r. ID. Forbes is having built for him a splendid pro-
peleT OF about 1900 tons. She is 25f feet long, So wide, 10
feet 1 inches deep, including : feet height of betweeu-decks.
She is of oak and is intended to run between San Francisco and
China but in her arrangements, she will be so constructed as
to be readily converted into a slOop-ofwar. She will Pc a full
rugged ship, with Forbes rig, having her topmasts fdded abaft
the heads of the lowermasts.

CAPs1zED.-On Thursday of last week. while the
.setfie Merrill was lying at Lahaina, a boat contain
ing Capt. Fisher and another foreigner was upset in
the surf, and both these persons came very near
being drowned. The natives rowing the boat, how
ever, suffered no inconvenience, they being quite as
much at home in the breakers as on shore. Capt. F.
was steering the boat with an oar, when, having got
nearly ashore, a heavy breaker overlook it, unship-
ped the oar, and capsized the boat in a twinkling.
He and the passenger sank several times, but were recovered by
the natives. The passenger was with difficulty restored to life.
Next day two whaleboats and their contents were as unceremo-
niously capsized in the breakers.
