January II, 1861.
The presents were purchased here by Or. N'Brjde,
70 whom the President sent $500 in gold for the pur-
pose. Accompanying them was q very neat letter
from the Minister 20 Mr.. Kekela and his associates,
thanking them for their noble conduct. This oct Of
the President. in rewlrding these persons, will have
a good effect all through this ocean, for It Will be cir
cula,ed far and near, and will show them that the
President not only hears of the good deeds of Poly
nesian islanders, out stands ready TO reward them. =
y We would acknowledge the receipt Of q gener-
ous key Of sugar from the Waikapu Plantation Of
Henry Coruwell, Esq, made by his son. We can not
find terL.s TO express the beauty of this sample,
which far surpasses anything sent 10 rs for inspec-
ton, aud throws the New Orleans sam Piles We have
into the shade. In color, it resembles golden eagles
just from the mint. and can hardly prove less profit
able to the worthy proprietor. The keg received Is =
fair sample OF the day's boiling, comprising some
5000 lbs. This sugar would be e curiosity in
New York or London. for we 90 not believe that the
West Indies produce the equal. Our young men,
TOO, are just the persons wanted TO learn the art Of
sugar boiling, an art that requires all the ingenuity
and skill that can be brought into 1t, and this speci-
men shows what they can accomplish.
4 New ExHIBITIoS.-By the Onra7d, there has
arrived Il novelty called the StereoscopticoA, of which
we have seen frequent notices in our late California
exchanges. Ii consists Of dissolving views of battles,
portraits Of generals, views Of American and Euro
peau cities, sc. The battles Of Gettysburg and Chat
tanooga are said TO be splendid. Some statue paint
ings, representing Night, Morning and an Angel are
beautiful. Among the scenes are some comic views,
we'll calculated to keep the audience in bumor. The
scenes change each evening, so that those who wish
TO see all should attend the whole. The exhibition
will open this evening at the New Hall, corner Of
King ana Nuuauu SIS. and Judging from the full
descriptions We have OF it, il viii prove q pleasant
and instructive entertainment for gentlemen, ladies, Z
aud children. -
MAIL Packets DCE.-ihe next vessel due from
the coast is the Comet, which arrived over from this
port on the 1t Of February-l7 days passage. She
would leave on her return about the 18th to l4th.
bringing the New York mail of Jan. ID. The British
ship Imperial was 20 sail for this port, about the
same time, en- route for Honckoug. The Smyrai0te
had not arrived mp 20 Feb. 4 She would probably
follow the Imperipl, ard perhaps bring the New
York mail of January 20. The fresh March winds
6ul give these vessels shor; passages down.
