Ing the graveyard connected with the Church
One Of these rules is that when the privilege OF
burying is desired, the sexton be advised with,
and his directions be complied with regarding
the location of the grave. Yet in more than
one instance have the members Of the other re-
hgious denominations entered and dug graves,
without the least reference to this simplest and
most necessary of ali possible regulations. In
consequence of several cases of this kind, which
showed the intrusive and disorganizing tendency
of other denominations, the regulations OF the
cemetery were some months since rendered more
precise and full, with the unanimous consent OF
all its leading members, among whom IS His
Excellency the President of the Board OF Ed
~ucation and while the rights of sepulture are
TO be denied to no one, a conformity to the reg
~ulatiOns is required.
One or two cases Of burial have been allowed
within a few months in violation of these regu-
~lations, rather than create q disturbance at the
time Of burial. On Thursday, however, on the
decease of a member of the Roman Catholic
Church, finding that the officers of the Church
were not disposed to yield the point, the author
tiles were appealed to; and by the order, we
understand, of the Minister of the Interior, the
Marshal stationed constables at the gate of the
graveyard, to enforce the ruling that the
grounds belong to the public, and that every
one may bury there irrespective of the regula-
tions of those who for years have had undis-
puted possession and control.
No one will deprecate more earnestly than
we this war of religious parties. But upon
whom does the blame in this case rest? Upon
those who simply claim their rights, or upon
those who insist on crowding themselves upon
others, and then raising the cry of bigotry if
any remonstrance is made?
The Roman Catholics already have a cemetery
of their own. Why insist on claiming from
others what they will not themselves render
And let the Reformed Catholics secure grounds,
where their dead may rest in as good hope GER
tainly of a happy resurrection as in the conse-
Grated grounds Of Kawaiahao. None outside of
their own denomination will assist more readily
and freely in securing such a cemetery for them
than the members of the Kawaiahao Church.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 90.

WE this week insert the shipping list for the
fall Of 1865, made up from data furnished us
by a. j. Cartwright, Esq. We had hoped to
have had farther reports from the north to lay
before our readers this week, but up to this
writing we are without an arrival. The three
past years we had our first reports from the
l4th to the 29th September. The last news by
the vessels bonded by the pirate Shenandoah,
reported four more vessels burning, the names
of which are merely matter of speculation,' but
it seems somewhat singular that no bonded ship
had reached San Francisco up to our last date
with the crews. The conversation, published
by US some weeks since, that took place between
the pilot Manning and Captain Cunningham,
of the James Mauyy, the want of Goals, and
fear lest II quick passage Of the fret bonded
vessel to San Francisco, or receipt OF news from
Ascension, might place n vessel of war on his
track. coupled with the news of the fall of
Richmond. and surrender of Lee, which he af-
fected TO disbelieve, may have caused Waddell
to leave the whaling ground and make for some
port before he had compassed his appointed
work.
The fleet bound north, as will be seen by the
shipping list, numbered ninety-fve sail, of which
eighty-six were for the Arctic ocean, and nine
for the Ochotsk sea. OF this number twcntyS
five have surely been burned-four at Assem-
sion. one in the Ochotsk sea, and twenty in
the Arctic ocean. Four have been bonded, and
four are reported as burning, which leaves sixty
two vessels to be heard from vet.
If the balance of the fleet are not i~nterfered
with, our trade for the fall will not be so far
short of the same for the past three or four
wears. although short of what had been anti
cipated. By last advices from the East we learn
of the following vessels as fitted for whaling in
the North Pacific:
Bark Daniel Wood. Richmond-sailed May 10.
Bark Eagle, Mckenzie sailed June Z.
Bark Nautilus, Bliven-sailed June 10.
Ship Reindeer, Raynor-saned June Is.
Ship Gay Head, ". II. Keny-sailed July IL.
Bark President, Z. Kelley-saled July IL.
Bark Washington, Baker-to sail in July.
Bark James Allen. Pierce-to sail in August.
Bark Massachusetts, WiIcox-to sail in August.
Ship Adeline, Soule-to sail in August.
Making an addition TO our expected spring feet
of ten vessels.
We have yet to hear the effect which the
news of the destruction of the vessels will have
upon the owners and agents of the feet in New
Bedford, Fairhaven, and New London, news of
which probably reached them in the latter part
of July but although for the time the bust
ness of fitting ships may be paralyzed, we have
little doubt but a reaction will take place, and
we may yet have a large feet to enter our ports
in the spring and fall seasons.

Messrs Canning and Clifford are to com

the Atlantic in June next. The Great
Erstern viii have five hundred hands on
board, with weight of 1900, including
45OO tons of cable, and 1000 tons of coal
The conductor is formed of seven
copper wires, and as there are 1900
miles of cable, there will be 10000
miles Of copper vine. Every portion of
this wire is subjected to electrical tests
and then covered with eight successive
coats Of insulated material. This coat is
covered with jute, and the jute is covered
with ten covered iron wires, each of which
is covered separately with five strands of
