THEATRICAL. The new company at
the theatre has opened brilliantly. and
there is every indication that 1t will be
successful in its efforts to please our
people. Miss Kittie Fyf1e, the leading
lady, besides being q most charming
woman, is very good actress, and the
company generally is composed OF a
good order of musical. terpschorean
and dramatic talent. They offer va
ried entertainment this evening, and a
good house should reward the efforts of
Mr.. Mcguire, the new manager, to. fur
nish us with good quality of amuse-
ment.

Besides the arrival Of several recruiting whaI.rs from Ul1
AMI kawafhae, we have no foreign vessels to report this week.
though the Ethan Allen from Portland, and the Milton RaI-
ger iE'm san Francisco, are considered as fully due. The only
winds we have had the past week have been light southerIy
freezes, accompanied with frequent showers, which were much
needsI on the plantations.
The bark Samuel MeTTiH sailed on the 81, for Portland,
taking a full cargo Of some $4,000 pounds Of sugar and IS. 42O
pounds of puIu.
The bark Camden sails this P. N. FOR san Francisco, and will
take a heavy cargo amounting to about 500 tons, consisting in
part Of 1900 kegs Of sugar and 3. 900 gallons Of moIas.es.
The brig H'sPeTiaH will also leave for the same port, taking
afu.l cargo The shipments Of sugar this week Will exceed a
million pounds.
The departure OF the whaling fleet, (onIy two remaining in
port nnwD leaves our harbor quite destitute of shipping.

ton Of sugar. The general use Of coal would
give q new impetus to the sugar interests of
these islands for there are many fine situations
ior sugar growing on the islands, which are
lying undcyclope1 from no other cause, perhaps.
than the want of fuel.
1t is high time that the wild extravasance. the
utter rccklcssness, with which some waste and
destroy the accumulated resources Of a new
country, should come 10 an end. Think of cut
ting down large and beautiful koa trees. and
leaving the trunk, the most valuable part, to
decay, while only the branches are taken away
and used; and the same Of cocoanut and other val
liable trees. Not long since, as we are informed,
fires swept over considerable tracts on Kauai. in
various parts, destroying grass and shrubbery on
the plains, creeping up the hill sides, and eating
their way into the beautiful little groves in the
cool recesses of the mountain sides, thus destroy
ing hundreds Of acres of valuable pasturage.
Al this has been done from sheer righteousness
by individuals who wished to lease certain tracts
OF land and as the agent at Honolulu would
not lease for the sum offered, they took this
course to prevent hs leasing it TO others. Fires
have doubtless originated in the carelesSness of
natives IN their smoking, or cooking, and the
long continued dry weather renders these fires
50 much the more dangerous and destructive.
10 check these, or at least to check malicious
acts, some special legislation seems necessary.
With the resources Of our islands well hus-
banded, with a scientific system of agriculture,
with our plantations receiving their coal at their
own wharves direct, without ntcrmedia ship
ment, our forests preserved to that extent that
will insure the return Of seed time and harvest,
our country-including the sugar, grazing and
stock lnterests-wiil rise to a career of pros
perity to which the present is but Il transition

FOREIGN The bark clara II. Sadd. which
touched at this port last Friday, left Il san Fran
cisco paper of the 1lth Of April. in which the tele-
graph reported the passage of the Civil Rights bill
in the House of Representatives on the oh. by a
vote of I22 ont of about 100 votes. 1t passed in
the first instance by only III to Is. This i a ter
rible blow to the President. hut shows that the
people are becoming walked mp. and determined to
stand by their rights. All honor to the Senators
and Representatives Of America. for daring to de-
fcnd the freedmen and civil liberty against the
threats and fulminations of Shareholders. The ar
rival of steamship at Halifax with the cholera on
board is reported. and the probability Is that no
human efforts can keep it from landing andspread-
ing over the American Continent. The next news
will be looked for eagerly, as it will possess more
than ordinary interest.
