Of the war estimates for the next year more than
5000, 600, 600. The Secretary concludes his re-
port with tho following paragraph
In conclusion, l may be permitted to express the
hope that the next annual report from this Depart
ment may announce the complete overthrow Of the
rebellion, the restoration of peace and the establish
nent of the Union on a sure foundation in all the
bounds of the United States.
Admiral Farragut, the hero of New Orleans,
has been appointed to the command Of the East
Gulf Squadron, and sailed from New York for
that destination Jan. Sd, in the flagship Hart
ford. This squadron blockades from Key West
(the southern point of Florida) 10 Mobile, the
headquarters being at Pensacola. His appoint
ment to this squadron indicates that some move
ment is contemplated soon against Mobile, and
recent kilograms corroborate this view.
From Europe, the advices are less indicative of
war than were the previous. The death of the
King of Denmark, which occurred Nov. Is, will
entirely change the hostile aspect of affairs be-
tween Denmark and Germany. The following is
tho only announcement we have seen of his
death
KING OF DENMARK.-The old king died on Novem-
Der 10, 1858. of erysipelas. He is succeeded as King
OF Denmark by the father of the Princess of Wales,
under the name OF Christian TX. But his right TO
succeed the late King as Duke of SchlesSig and Hol-
stein, IS contested by the Prince Of Augustenburg,
who has already been recognized as Duke of Schles.
wig and Holstein by the Government OF SAKE Coburg.
King Frederick VII, the late sovereign, was
born in 1903, and was therefore So years of age.
He had been on the throne twenty-five years, and
was reputed to be not very popular with his peo-
pie. The accession of the new king brings the
political relations of England and Denmark into
very close alliance.
The Mexican question has now taken Il new
turn, the Archduke very wisely thinking that
the recognition of his authority by the American
Government is necessary TO the success and peace
Of the proposed Mexican Monarchy. The follow
ing telegram explains itself:
The Paris correspondent Of the London Times
says 1.-The Archduke Macmillan considers recog-
milton by the Washington Government, of the new
Mexican Monarchy, as indisp ensable to his acceptance
OF the throne. \ proposition was formally made by
the French Government TO President Lincoln's Cabi-
net. The reply from Washington was to the effect
that the American Republic would never tolerate.
much less recognize, a Monarchy established at their
very doors. II is supposed that this will decide the
Archduke to abandon the idea of accepting the throne
Of Mexico"
If the facts stated are correct, the obstacles in
the way Of the proposed monarchy are Of such a
nature that no European nation will undertake
to establish and sustain it by force of arms, and,
rs n consequence, the choice of a form of govern
ment will be thrown back on to the Mexicans, to
select any or none us they may choose.

our island fruits The seeds were imported by Capt.
Newell from Calcutta, and the tree in Capt. Shows
garden commenced bearing when only three years
old. The fruit resembles an egg plum in taste.
color and shape, but is not SO large. The Cinnamon
however, inform US that in China and India 1t grows
10 the size Of 8 ducks egg, which corresponds to the
American egg PLAIN; and in favorable localities. like
Cahaina, Kona and Hilo. il will probably grow as
large, for il seems 10 be admirably adapted TO our eli
mate, the tree growing very rapidly and covered with
fruit. We should like 10 see this plum cultivated
,hrouphout the islands. rs It will be a valuable addi-
tion 70 our stock Of fruits, and We will send the seeds
10 any soliciting them. DIR. VIM. Hillebrand and j. II.
Wood, ESQ, also have the Calcutta plum growing in
their gardens. =
ROD. SIPP-By letters received by A. b. Bates,

Sipp, the accomplished pianist. who spent a few
months in Honolulu. was giving concerts at Kama
gawa. which were well patronized by the ioreign
residents of that place.

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

aSSow STORMS IN THE TRoPICs-Mauna Loa and
Mauna Kea. the high mountain peaks on Hawaii,
and Mt. Haleakals, on Maui, are represented rs now
covered on their SUBMITS, with beautiful white man
ties OF snow, the drifts in the gulches and vallies
being often from 20 to so feet deep. Although not
very cool here in Honolulu, (the thermometer rang
ing a, night from 650 to 70o.) yet the presence of
snow on these mountains indicates cold weather
higher up, their altitude being from 10000 to ii, 900
feet. There have been several snow storms on them
during the past few weeks, and the scene is repre-
sented to DO one Of indiScribable grandeur. Those
living on the island where they occur can seldom see
these storms so well as those who chance to be pass-
ing in schooners. To the former the scene is gener-
ally obscured by clouds over head; but to the latter
the sight at a distance is magnificent. Az the dark
heavy masses of clouds. roll and tumble over aud
around the lofty SUBMITS. they drop their snow man
ties, which lower down turn into rain or melt away
as fast as il touches the surface. On some occasions
the lightning, darling around, from the cold upper
strata of clouds, three and four miles high. 20 the
lower and warmer ones, Is said to be splendid, and
unequalled in any other country or latitude. Snow
storms in the tropics are among the most beautiful
sights imaginable. and the few who are privileged 10
see them, witness some OF natures grandest exhibi-
tons. -
