MORE STEAM FOR TIE PACiFIC-Each new steam
line established appears to be only the herald of
another. Before the China mail steamers are even
started. it is announced that the French are plan
ing a new line across this ocean. viz: from Panama
TO China direct, to connect with the monthly line
already established between Panama and St. Ma
Zaire. BY referring to a chart Of the Pacific. pub
lished in Anderson's Hawaiian Islands. page "a,
the track of this new line will be observed. These
islands. lying just half way between Panama and
Hongkong, will be undoubtedly required as q coal
ing depot. 1t Is clear to see that the route. if ever
established. will prove the shortest between France
and China, and probably one of the most comfort
able for travelling in the world. Hongkong lies in
latitude 229 this group in 20. and Panama i'll So y.
The steamers will thus run across this ocean. avoid
ing the extreme cold and heat. The competition
for the China and Japan trade. which is increasing
every year. will lead TO rival lines ere many wears.
and none will promise greater success than that
proposed by French capitalists.

tinues to grow in favor, and is welcomed every
where. Among the unconsidered trifes.' which
every town is full of, it finds many discarded
crumbs that require only a skIllful hand to make
wholesome food for the hungry. The natives have
heard of the establishment of a daily, and are now
seriously planning one in their own language,
which some ardent spirits promise to sustain.

RENovArED-The large stone building on Market
Wharf. now occupied by Messrs. G. Brewer & Co,
has lately been thoroughly repaired and improved
internally. The cumbrous stone columns and
arches have been removed. making a large and
elegant rooIn-the most spacious in town-aTOrd-
ing q roomy and delightful counting room. with
plenty of space for goods. The stone steps on the
south side of the building leading to the Harbor
Masters office, have been removed. and firm wood
en- ones put up instead, improving its outward ap-
pearancc exceedingly. Here we may also add,
that a lookout has been erected just over the
steps. so that Officer Woods can keep a detective
eye on smugglers.
AT HIIO.-Lctters from Captains Worth and
Spencer advise us Of the arrival at that port on the

Thursday for Honolulu, to deliver her mails. and
will be due here to-day. Whether she has an East
ern mail or merely a San Francisco bag. we are
not advised. The brig went into that port to allow
two of her passengers to visit the volcano. which.
as will be seen by a letter from Hilo. is unusually
active just now. Their visit is very timely.
