As soon as Queen Emma's projected visit to
New York was known, the Hawaiian Club took
steps to call the attention of the U. S. Govern
ment and of the New York city officials to the
fact, and the result was that the department Of
State at Washington, sent a commissioner to
make all necessary arrangements. Gen. Mar
shall vas very jealous in his efforts to honor the
Queen, and no doubt added much to the recep-
ton. The club is having a good influence in
creating q social and patriotic spirit among IIa-
waiians residing in the United States, and in fur
thering such enterprises as will tend to foster
Hawaiian IN and agriculture. In this
connection, the following extracts from u letter
received by us from DR.. Wood, will prove in
teresting:
CONCORD, Mass, Aug. Sth, 1866.
Henry NJ. Whitney, Esq,
/ was present at a recent
meeting of the " Hawaiian Club, assembled at the
beautiful country residence of our old friend Jas.
+. B-now Gen. Marshall. Our island friends will
not have forgotten the generous hospitality, for
which Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall have always been dis
tinguished. An elegant collation., with the usual
display OF bunting-Hawaiian as we'll as American
with specimens of Hawaiian Art, awaited, on
this occasion, the reception of their guests at Au-
burndalc-about twenty in all,-amongst whom
were Mr.. Andrews of New York, and Mr.. Warren
Goodale of Texas.
The meeting was a spirited one, although orr
host gave us nothing to drink, stronger then a cup
of the best Haoaiidn kOna coffee. The principal
subject of discussion was that of steam commupi-
cation, between San Francisco and Honolulu.
General Marshall. and Mr.. E. p. Bond, formerly of
Kauai, had been commissioned by the club to pro-
coed to Washington aud urge upon members of
the claims of t~he.Hawaiian Islands TO be
included in the contemplated steam route between
Francisco and China. and had lust returned :
and from them L learned that the Pacific Mail
steamship Company had not succeeded, at the late
session of Congress-. as you unprecedented they
would, in obtaining on unconditional release from
their obligation to include Honolulu in their route.
A resolution to that end had been introduced into
he Senate, by Senator CONFESS of California in the
interest of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. 1t
inally passed the Senate. with important amend
nents. VIZ: FIrst-Ihat the company's steamers
should make thirteen instead of t,celUe round trips
% China. Second-That they should establish an
Independent monthly line of steamers between San
and Honolulu. with an additional sub
idly of $4,000. In this shape, the resolution was
to the House and had not been returned by
he charged with it when Congress adj
burned. So the original contract remains for the
present. in Stdtu quo. /
Thus far, the advocates of steam communication e
1etween San Francisco and Honolulu, have been
uccessful- and in behalf of which. Gen. Marshall ,
md Mr.. Bond have rendered very valuable services. l
The question will be presented to the next Con-
,ress during the early part of its session. for settle
nent. As the matter now stands. it would be more
satisfactory to all parties, if the Pacific Mail Steam
hip Company should be released from the addi-
ional thirteenth round trip to China. (Which is no
eneit TO anybody and instead thereof, should be
equired to run a seni-rponhly line between San .
and Honolulu. The direct steam line. /

ession. at Washington-where too much can not

interested-will not delay in adopting the
