= Our harbor requires dredging very much.
The wash from the town, the streets and the
river, all tends TO fill it up, and each year
something ought 10 be done towards cleaning
it out. Last Tuesday the Blue Jacket lying at
steamboat wharf, on attempting to go to sea,
was found imbedded in the mud, and was de-
layed some hours. There ought TO be at that
wharf Is or &c feet OF water. just off the
point of the Esplanade. near where the Wm.
Rofch sunk, is 4 shallow spot, which is trouble
some to large vessels. The water around the
inner wharyes is becoming very shallow, and
schoOners frequently get aground and have to
wait the rise of the tide. These delays are vexa-
tious, and as all vessels, coasting and foreign,
pay liberal wharfage fees, the Government ought
to keep the dredge in motion. 1t is now some
years since any dredging has been performed,
and 4 vast amount of mud has accumulated in
the harbor. A liberal appropriation ought to
be secured, and the work prosecuted with as
ton of the Esplanade out beyond the steamboat
wharf, should be among the plans for the present
and next year.
In addition to this, something ought TO be
done towards deepening the entrance of the har-
Dor, or at least to authorize the making of
such contracts as will secure its being done dur
ing the next four or five years, if not sooner.
\ deeper channel will prevent in a great meas
ure, the deposite Of mud in the harbor, as it
would cause a deeper and stronger tide flow into
and out of the harbOr, and check the accumu-
lation. Every inch that the depth of water in
the channel is lessened, adds a foot to the de-
posts in some parts of the harbor, and rice
rersa the deepening of it tends to keep the ha--
Dor clear. Government should spare no reason
able expense to keep tie wharves and harbor as
perfect as possible, for the reputation and the
business of the port are dependent on it.

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

PROBABLE Loss OF SCHOONER ALBERNI.-By an
arrival from Kauai, we learn that this vessel was
ashore on the south point of that island. a few
miles from Waimca. The particulars as given to
us are these. She had been dispatched to WaiInca
to take in Il cargo of rice. and was engaged all day
Saturday loading. Towards evening the wind
hauled to the south or southwest. and was very
there. slipped his anchor. and stood off on his star
board tack. that is. along the shore towards Hama
pepe and Koloa. In attempting to put about. the
vessel missed stays, being very heavy astern. where
the rice had been chiefly slowed. 1t was now near
IL dark and close in shore. and the captain drop
ped his anchor. but the chain parted almost immc-
diatelv and the vessel went on to the rocks. At
latest accounts, she was still standing upright. and
had not bilged, but as a heavy swell rolls in at that
point, it is very doubtful whether she can be got
off. Her cargo of rice was taken out by the ma
tives. unchanged. She lies near the shore. about
half way between the old fort and the small stream
Kakapua. She was nearly new. built at Alberni.
Nancouver's Island, registered 100 tons, and was
owned by Messrs. Janion, Green < Co. For the
Hilo trade. in which she was engaged. she was a
very good vessel. and her loss, just at this time.
when we have been deprived of the hjldue0 and
Annie Laurie. will be felt. We need now. cspc-
ciallv for the Hawaii and Kauai coasting trade,
several good schOoners. to replace the recent
losses. for the f~reighting business is growing very
rapidly. and will continue TO do 80. II proper vessels
are on hand L. serve 1t.

4 CoRRECrION-Both the Gazette and the IA
Okoa Cnative ncwspaper) are mistaken in the as
sertion that the native seaman-who died on board
the whale bark Mercury. as is alleged by abuse
Captain Tookcr-was a native Of these islands. He
was not a Hawaiian, but n native of the Caroline
Islands. Assuming that he was a Hawaiian. both
papers make it the text of a long discourse of miss
spent sympathy. From all we can learn. he was
an untutored savage. whose death was attributable
as much to a change OF diet and cold weather as to
anything else. If the man had been a foreigner,
or an old Hawaiian whaleman. we should have put
more credence in the charge brought against the
Captain. that his death was caused by maltreat-
ment. For orr own part. We wish that every Ha-
waiian sailor could find employment in the coasting
service or on shore. where his labor is needed, and
leave the whaling service wholly TO foreign sea-
men. 1t would he better for them and for our
population. "
- MADAME BIsIIoT'S LAST CONCERT.-The Concert
at smiths Church on Saturday evening proved an
entire success, and was decidedly the best one
given by the artists. The acoustic qualities of the
church are much better than was anticipated.
The singing consisted mainly Of a repetition of the
pieces sung at previous Concerts. but they were
well sung and we'll received. The audience was
unusually large. and we understand that the re
ceipts for the final Concert amounted to over six
hundred dollars. Altogether. the Concerts proved
very satisfactory TO our lovers of music. and the
artists expressed themselves equally pleased with
the result of their visit 10 Honolulu. The party
sailed for l~Ionkong in the bark LjbeHe.
- WILD HoEsEs-Mr. Thomas Thrum met a seri-
Gus accident on sunday last, having been knocked
down by Il wild horse. while walking along the
street. The animal was at full speed, but the
kanaka claims that he couldn't hold him in, which
was very likely the case. Mr.. Thrum was rendered
sensclcsS by the blow. and received severe injury.
from which he ha, not yet recovered. These wild
horses introduced into the public streets ought TO
h. tanned. or their owners should he.
