of the real estate on it, perhaps enough to Offset
the cost. -
DEsIRABLE EAIaRANTs.-As our Government and
Planters are very DESTROYS to promote emigration
from abroad in these days, and the Circassians have
at last been driven out of their own country by the
Russians, and compelled to seek refuge elsewhere, it
strikes us that it would be a good idea to send fer q
few thousand of them to come to these islands. They
are a good and Industrious class of people. and what
is more, are among the bravest and best warriors in
the world, while their women are unrivalled for
beauty. The Emperor of France, we perceive, has
made an arrangement for twenty-five thousand of
them to settle in Algeria, and he knows ali about
them. -
q - Capt. Clark. of the schooner Helen, has given.
uo his favorite clipper, which, under his captaincy,i
has won laurels in fast sailing. generally beatingl
every vessel that undertook to try her speed. She
is a native Hawaiian craft, having been built bys
D. Foster & Co., Of this city. Capt. johnson tlate
of the Annie Laurie,) takes command of her. and
will no doubt maintain her reputation as a fast sailer.
Z WATER BoaTs.-The old water boat having been\
condemned. Messrs. Mcintyre s. Babcock have put a
tank into their large scow, capable Of carrying out
side about seventy barrels of wafer. The pumps
and hose of the old water boat are used by them

Foster at their yard. to have a capacity of from 100
to 126 barrels. - !.
SUGAR REFINERY.--The works have ceased oper-
atoms for a while, as important improvements are
being made. Additions TO the building and two
new engines, with separators, will be placed in the
building, thus enabling the works when in working |
again, to turn out double the quantity of
sugar. - ]
.HoNoLULU Iron WoRKs.-The hum of machinery
and the clang of hammers to be heard on approach
ing these works, are the best evidence, of plenty of
work. A large and commodious bufIding is being
put up on the Carranave premises, to be used as a
pattern shop, and everything connected with the
establishment betokens success in this important
brapch of industry.
