FCNERu. oE THE PRINCESS NIcToEIN-This pa
geant took place on Saturday last, in accordance
with the programme issued. The funeral services
were performed at the Palace. At . O'Clock. by
the Rev. HENRY II. PARKER. pastor of the Hawai-
hao Church. Of which the deceased was Il member.
It Is reported TO have been the wish of her venera-
bile father and others that the body should be
taken TO that Church and the exercises held there.
hut in this their wishes are said to have been over
ruled by Bishop Staley, who appears to have had
more to say in the matter than prudence dictated
ar the public interests called for. The officiating
Clergyman was not even allowed to take the place
in the procession which custom assigns 10 him,
next 10 the hearSe. but that was appropriated by
the above ~oficious iuncticuary. Neither Was the
officiating clergyman allowed to close the eNcr-
ciseS ut the tomb. on account Of Il new dogma set mp
by this same functionary that ii is d" consecrated
ground" where no one but he can o~ficiate. The
Hawaiian Government may tolerate such bigotry,
but we hesitate not to say it is more worthy of the
middle ages than of the nineteenth century. There
Is an intense feeling of disgust provoked. not
among his own people merely, but among all
thinking minds. against the bigoted conduct of
Bishop Staley at the late funeral.
The procession was not so large nor so impos-
ing as previous ones that we have witnessed. but
the display of kdhilis was really magnificent, sur
passing in number, variety and beauty anything of
the kind that has ever been known here on State
occasions. The remains of the Princess were de-
posted in the Royal Tomb. where repose those of
nearly all the AI.rS of the Kamehameha dynasty.
May it he long before we are called upon to wit
ness another such pageant.
DRowNEB-On the last trip of the Noi to Kahu-
hi, a passenger. named James Allen. a native of
Cornwall, England, fell overheard and was
drowned. Capt. Wilbur states that the man came
on board in liquor. and had two bottles with him,
of which he drank freely after he came on board.
but which were taken from him after consuming
the half of a bottle. He was warned about falling
overheard, but expressed himself Indifferent about
it. The accident happened between s and 9
O'Clock p. NJ. in the channel. The alarm was i'm
mcdiately given. and the box over the steering
apparatus was thrown TO him. but he rose only
once. The schooner was put about. the boat
cleared away. and some time spent in cruising
about the spot. Allen was an engineer by profes-
sion. and has been employed ut the Honolulu Iron
