NOTES OF THE WEEK.

OLD VIsrroRs-Among the captains and officers
Of the whalers arriving from home ports, We occa-
sioually meet the familiar countenances of some who
have not been here for a number of years, and who
have been attracted out on new cruises by the glow
ing reports of the abundance of whales in the Ocho,sk
and Arctic. given by the ships that cruised there last
season. Capt. Church, of the .furord, first visited
Honolulu in ~1S24-forty years ago. when there were
only three frame houses here, and the spot where
Honolulu now stands was a tree.less plain, like Wal
kiki. The ship in which King Liholiho set sail on
his unfortunate voyage to England in tina, year,
started from alongside his vessel. and he well remembers the
embarkaion of the royal couple and the memorable scene con-
nec;ed with it. What few houses there were here then, stood
along the beach, and the Nuuanu stream running up the valley.
We can learn, back of where Fosters siipyari now is. Other
Captains, who have not been here fr some years, tell US that
do not notice it, while to many it appears to be growing
smaller, if We may judge from their talk
SUPREME CoURT.-Mr. George W. Brown, who for
some time past has filed the Office of assistant clerk
in the Supreme Court, sailed for the United States in
the bark -7rctic. Mr.. Lionel Browne, a passenger
per the SpesiIceN, lately in port en- route for Vic
tOria, has, We learn. been appointed as his successor,
it was understood that owing to there being
insufficient work to employ two clerks, the Office
would be discontinued. and a small appropriation
called for to engage extra help, should it be required.
1t hardly seems honest or fair TO put a stranger into
Office, entirely ignorant of the busines IS of the place,
Its people, and the language, when others, las for
instance Mr.. Wandenburg, well qualified for the post, having
resided here for twenty or more years, and has a large family
on him. have been seeking some means of support

SUNDAY AMONG THE SHIPPISG.-TO the honor of San Fran
cisco be il spoken, there is no loading or unloading of ships on
Sunday, and rarely any departures on that day unless from the
Stream where a clearance had been made the previous day
The merchants and business men will not deSecrate the day
thus. They know the value Of Il Sunday redeemed from traffic
and tumGlr, and consecrated as a day of rest. When san Fran
cisco had no recognized Sunday, she was cursed with murders
aud %robberies, and a lawless, il-goveTned populace.

II The Young Hector on her last passage down,
made a flying trip of IL days, and Capt. Chadwick
has quite redeemed the bark's reputation as an \ l
sailer. The clipper Sbyiark. which was to have left
San Francisco the day after the Y. III, had not ar
rived up to last evening. She may, however, have
been detained Il few days. She will be the first ves-
sci in from the coast. The Yankee had a short run Of II DAYS
from this port to San Francisco, arriving over on the 18th. She
will be due here on Sunday the 18th inst.

Il The schooner Onomea, long overdue from
Boston. was last reported at the Falkland Islands
repairing. A w~haleship which arrived this week
from the Atlantic, states that the Oaomea left the
Falkland Islands for Honolulu with her, and remain
ed in company till near Cape Horn. A well-known
wrecking-master, living a, the islands, named Smiley, the same
person who bought the Kate Sargent, took passage in the
0noEeG, as is stated. with the hope Of securing her if disabled,
or 10 be landed if she got fairly past the Horn. This, if true,
looks like a rather strange proceeding. The schooner, we hope,

ships in this county have already filed their

And that active measures are being taken in
other Townships to do so. As yet, but lit

however awaiting the passage Of a bill by the

The Health ofQueen Vic.

1t would really seem that Queen Victoria
is not g. escape the hereditary defect of her
"ancient and noble family" A rumor now
prevails at Washington, that she is about to
abdcste the throne in consequence of mental
inirmity, while the advices by the city OF
New York add confirmation to reports which
have hitherto been current, that the Queen is
mentally incapacitated from any longer hold
ing the position of sovereign. She has not
been able to sit at council without bctray ing
her mental infirmity: and the recent action
of members of the cabinet, particularly that
of Lord Palmerston, has given the English
public an intimation that a change in the
monarchy may spec ediy be anticipated.
The course of the Prince of Wales lately
has indicated preparation to assume the
reigns of power. /; is undoubtedly the fact
that, should he do so, an entirely new foreign
policy would be inaugurated upon the Danish
question Immediately, and aiterward upon
American fairs, to our advantage. He will
reign under the title of King Edward the
Seventh.

New Hampshire.

The election in New Hampshire has result
ted in favor of the AboIitionists by an in
creased vote. Some of the New York papers
seemed 20 ,hink that there was possibility
of carrying that State for Democracy and the
Union but there was never any foundation
for such hope The State is small, and too
easily overrun by shoddy influences. A few
thousand soldiers colonized in the State for
the special purpose of carrying the election
was openly effected, and has accomplished
the end. 1t Will be SO with all the New
England States. - = = f

to Mr.: LINcoLN's proclamation, fourteen
