TIE VIsIr or QUEEN EsiAA.--H would not be
q very improbable conjecture to suppose That the
visit of Queen Emma had a political and COM
mereial significance in it. AT this particular time
when the Pacific States and Eastern Asia are to
be brought into frequent communication with
each other by q line Of ocean steamers, the COM
mercial importance Of the Sandwich Islands to US
il greatly increased. At the present time the
foreign population on them is mostly American
many Of the sugar plantations there are worked
BY Americans and q great part of the capital in
vested there is from the United States
For many years before the settlement of Caiifor-
MA the port of Honolulu was the principal depot
Tor our whalemen, and an immense business in
watering and EtoTeing their vessels, and resbip-
ments OF Whalebone and oil stook place. On the
discovery OF gold on the Pacific coast and the set
Element Of California, a new line of trade sprung
ups and at the present day there are many large
houses in San Francisco wholly dependent on the
Hawaiias for their business When the Pacific
Railroad is finished and San Francisco becomes
the principal port on the Pacific coast, these
islands will become far more important TO us than
ever.
As these islands yearly come more and more nm
der American influence, while the native popula-
t0n il fast dying ont and the royal family Is child
their ln1luence i properly fostered, the attempts
which France and England have been making for
many years to gain possession of these islands
viii be prevented. This veW,is strengthened hy
the fact that the Sandwich Islands wereErst civil
l1e1 ~ the efforts OF American missionaries, who
Tor the last thirty or forty years have Iabored
there, and have built their churches and schools,
until all the civilization and education which the
natives possess are due to the efforts Of our peo-
pie. WITH these antecedents, va cannot but hope
mat theA YsItoflQ Queen Emma will have the effect
to bind these islands TO aa In closer commercial

BUFFALO, Aug. lS.-The 18th day of August,
1866, win be made memorable with turfmen from
the fact that Dexter Totted square mile, with
out making a skip OF break, in the shortest time
ever made namely: two minutes and eighteen
seconds. The spectators present Will doubless
find food enough in this for converse, when ne

The track on which this extraordinary time
was made, was considered by good judges TO be
slower by two or three seconds than either of the
Long Island tracks. Some even went SO far as
to say the course was not full mile in length.
The managers state that it has been measured
several times by competent men, who have pro-
nouneed it full mile in extent that is 52S2 feet
