4 line of French steamships has recently been
established between st. Nazaire in France and
Aspinwall, connecting at Panama with the San
Francisco steamers and also with the British
South American line as far as Valparaiso. St.
Nazaire is Il comparatively new port, selected
by the Emperor Napoleon as the port of depar-
ture of the Vera Cruz and A~spinwall lines of
steamships. 1t is situated on the north side of
the estuary of the river Loire, near the sea, and
about thirty miles below Nantes. Great i'm
proYements have been made in the harbor since
it was determined to make it q port for foreign
steamships, and railroads now connect it with
the principal cities of France.
The steamships leave St. Nazaire on the 9th
of each month, touching at Martinique on the
22d, at Saint Martha on the 29th, arriving at
Aspinwall on the 3Oth. They leave at Aspin-
wall on the LIST Of each month, and arrive at
St. Nazaire on the Goth. The price of passage
in the first cabin is 100 francs. From st. Ma
zaire to San Francisco it is 1887 francs or ga;
and from St. Nazaire to Valparaiso 24S3 francs
or SOS.
From this il will be seen that the Isthmus of
Panama is Il becoming the centre of a large num-
Der Of steamship lines, and attracting TO it a
rapidly increasing transit IN The Liver
pool and Aspinwall steamers 70 full of freight
and passengers, and are making fine trips be-
tween those two ports. averaging about twenty
two days. The and travel between
Panama and Callao and Valparaiso has increased
so as TO compel the company TO withdraw all
its old steamers of 1900 tons capacity, and put
on vessels of over 5000 tons. In short. steam
is revolutionizing the commerce of central and
South America, q vast amount of which is now
transported across the Isthmus Of Panama, 10
New York, Liverpool and St. Nazaire.

The China Mail steamers.

OUR readers are aware that there has been
some doubt as to whether the new line of China
steamers would touch at Honolulu both in going
to and returning from China. The American
Minister Resident, DIR. M'Bride, has received
by the last mail letters from Washington, which
settle the question, go far as the contract and
are permitted to copy the letters, and insert
them below

Resident OF the United States to the Hawaiian Islands, relative
by act Of Congress, approved Feb. IL, 1865; and to inform you
q mail steamship service between the port of san Francisco in
the I mrtei STATS and some port or ports in the chinese Empire,
more ports IN Japan" &c; which has always been construed
iionoiulu 20 land and receive mails h+' both on the inward ard" and
outward Passages; and the correspondence which passed be-
tween the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. and this Department
before they submitted a proposal for the required service, shows
that the requirements of the act of Feb. Il, 1865, were so un-
derstood by that Company. Moreover, the proposal of the
said. Company, which has been accepted by the Postmaster
General, designates the terminal and intermediate ports OF the
route, in the following words. viz:
THE terminal port in the Chinese Empire to be Hong Kong.
The steamships to touch. outward and homeward, to land and
receive mails, at the port of Honolulu in the Sandwich Islands,
and the port Of Kanagawa in Japan"
| have the honor 20 request that you viii please cause this
explanation To be communicated 70 MIR. Mcbride At Honolulu.
l am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, .
". DExSIsox.
The Postmaster General. who made the con-
tract with the steamship company, understands
that the vessels are to touch here both lUdyS, and
the extract given from the contract clearly calls
for it. But the stoppage at Honolulu, is simply
for mails and passengers. Freight will probably
not be taken either way between this port and
San Francisco by the China steamers, unless it
be light and fast freight. For that we must
have the proposed propeller line.
The New York papers received by the last
mail publish a LIST Of the vessels now employed

may be inserted here;

UNRULY CooLIEs-One day last week. while I
gang of coolies were at work in the Cancelled OF
the Haiku plantation, they attacked their overseer,
Mr.. Hitchcock, with hoes and stones, who drew q
revolver, and. after warning them back without
effect, fired. an hit a laborer in the calf Of his leg.
The others. thinking his powder and shot all ex-
pended. rushed at him more furiously than before,
when he fired again, the ball simply passing
through the leg of the pants of another laborer.
Not compromising the secret as to how he could
fire several times from the SAME pistol without
stopping to load it. they became frightened,
dropped their tools and stones and ran off from
the field. The cause of the disturbance is said TO
be this: There are Two gangs of laborers,
shipped at different times. and the second demand
to be paid off when the first are paid. The man
ager, of course, only pays each set al the expira-
ton of their separate months. 1t is unfortunate
that there are no means of communicating with
the new coolie laborers save by signs, which is q
very indefinite mode.
