Yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company's Steamer Sacramento
entered our harbOr gaily decked with flags, pTomi-
nent among which was the Hawaiian Royal standard
at the main. She had been eargerly looked for all

being then seven miles outside tie heads, the u. i.
Steamer Shn5rick, Captain Andrews, got underway.
and proceeded down the harbor TO meet her. which
on doing, she rounded to, and hosting the Hawaiian
flag at her fore. saluted the Royalsinndard of Hawaii
with twenty enc guns, and thence accompanied the
steamer as an escort, to Folsom street wharf As the
Sacramento passed Fort Point, n national salute Of
u guns were fired, and the National eolors on the
various forts were dipped rs she passed. Admiral
Thatcher's flagship, the VanderbiH. displayed the
Hawaiian flag at the main, and gave the same salute
as she passed.
As the steamer reached the wharf, the Queen was
seated in the pilot house. She was received officially
by Chas. c. Hitchcock, Hawaiian Consul mt this port.
and was also met by Capt. Oliver EIdridge, Agent Of
the Pacidc Mail Steamship Company, who brought
her from New York as their guest. Her Majesty
expressed herself pleased with the trip, and With the

an open barouche. drawn by white horses. to the

was made by the proprietors for her comfort. The
Royal standard was transferred from the steamer TO
the flagstaff Of the IS Occidental from which il will
float during her sojourn in this city. Both at the
wharf and about the hotel crowds gathered, anxious
TO catch a glimpse Of the first Queen ever in Califor-
MIA. Passengers by the steamer seemed much pleased
at the attentions bestowed upon Queen Emma, be-
cause they learned to like her, having found her
modest and unassuming. thus truly graciDg a rank
she appears well entitled to. 1t is no wonder she is
popular with her People, and while We feel that
ostentatious display would not impress her more
agreeably than perhaps the most rapid republican,,
still We trust she may receive a favorable impression
of cur country and our people, from poli,eness and
attentions, intended TO assist in cnltivating good will
and kindly feelings with our ~beighbors The Hawaiians.
Thousands Of Caiifornians have visited the Islands,"
and the fact is patent that they are probably the
most hospita6le people on earth, and We hope, for
the sake OF our own reputation as g. city, that wher-
ever she may 60 she will be kindly received, and her
visit made agreeable-that she may return to her
Island Home with a favorable report Of our kindness
and hospitality. 1t was tbs Intention to have ssre-
naded Queen Emma last evening, but the late hour
of her arrival prevented completing the arrangements
in season, hut we learn the Second Artillery Band
will probably do so to- might.
