NOTES OF THE WEEK.

THAT YACHT.-We perceive that the San Francisco
papers catch up the .fltG's glowing description Of the
Prince and pass their own comments thereon. The
following is from the Morning Cal:

All the descriptions yet given, fail to notice the

to have seen her before she left, out of regard to my
old friend DR.. Ford. who made his memorable trip

takes the opposite course, and sets forth not quite so
deliberately, but with more pith, tchO she ,cGs formerly.
Now | have some remarks 10 make about the
vessel. Daring the morning OF the day she sailed,
[ met His Majesty, Norton |, who bad read the no.
tice in the -4itQ, and was evidently somewhat dis
turbed in mind. He told me he WAS in search Of II
lawyer, to enter an action in Admiralty against the
Prince, TO prevent her sailing for Honolulu, for he
had been told that the Minister Ct Foreign Relations
hoolawe. l told him be was too late-that the vessel
had sailed ~ daylight-and intimated that the in
debtedneSs of the Minister of Foreign Relations was
rather IA matter tor diplomatic co 'respOndence than
for an ordinary resort to everyday legal measures.
His Imperial Majesty seemed 10 " see it, at last, and
thanked me for the new light | had shed upon the
question. Apropos of the Emperor, to-day is his
birthday, as ne has officially informed the papers by
the following item in the .4ita
