.rf A Royal VIsfToR-The Jenkinses of New
York and Boston papers are just now busy in
chronieling the movements ofQueen Emma of
the Sandwich Islands, who arrived at the form
er city, a day or two since, on her way home
from England, where she has been to solicit
aid for the better establishment of the Episco-
pal form Of the Christian church in her coun-
try. Queen Emma is a dowager, the widow
OF the late king, Kamehameha w. Her
mother, Fanny Young, was the daughter of
John Young, an Englishman who held Office
and exercised much influence during the reion
OF Kamehameha The Great" the grandfath-
er OF the present king. ' -1l iFa 1isdl l
Emma was early adopted by DR.. Rookie. an
English physician in Honolulu, who had mar
ried her mothers sister. She was educated
in the royal school in Honolulu, and was mar
ried to the late king about nine years AGO.
Her only child, the little Prince ofHawaii,
boy Of unusual promise, died in his fifth year.
Her royal husband followed shortly after.
Queen Emma is about. twenty-seven years
old. She is described as of very pleasing ap-
pcarance and manners. She was great IA
vorate among the foreign residents of Homo
lulu, where she was universally respected for
her exemplary life, and for her many ehari-
ties and virtues. lhA tl f1.i'.ttl

layed in consequence of the events of the war
in Europe. The Secretary says :.------,- =

and the buildings ON the Champ de Mars are
carried on with activity. In word, every-
thing induces the anticipation that the exposi-
ton will be completely ready by the first of

the Imperial Commissioners, has lately ex-
pressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of
the Emperor the wisn that the various states
that are to participate in this solemnity may
be informed of the intentions of the govern

lack OF persistence has occurred to the Impe-
rial Commissions, even on the part of the
governments engagedlin war. SsaFW
Il NJ. Rouher adds that, in case some country
lind itself prevented from assisting, the Impe-
rial Commissioner not for that cause ad-

Your official report of the Union johnson

rect, especially as to the number present. 1t
is due 70 those gentlemen who have for three
weeks past endeavored to get up mass con-

to your former report Of only zone being pres
ent IN the person Of Tom Garnsey," add, that
there were three others, two of whom are re-
ported as delegates at large, and the other not
yet ready to identify himself with the "my
