[From the N. Y. Times
Her majesty the Dowager Queen Emma of the
Sandwich Islands, relict of thelate King Kane
hameha ~, arrived here yesterday morning by
the Cunard steamer Java. The Java, coming up
stream at 81 O'Clock, announced the presence on
board of the distinguished visitor by the display
of the Hawaiian royal standard.
The collector of the port, Henry A. Smythe, |
ESD, had received instructions from the secretary
of the treasury to meet the royal lady down the
bay, or have her met there by representatives of
the government on board one of the revenue
steamers but owing to some misunderstanding OF
MS instructions the telegraph operator at SANDY
Hook failed to announce the Java until after her
arrival, and the revenue steamer Jasmine lay in
nocenty at her moorngs waiting for the signal, |
which came not. Doubtless the fates so wied it; |
as, however gratifying it might have been to the
royal Iadys pride to have had the Jasmine vel
coming her with big guns, and awakening kindred
noises from the hafbor forts, at 8 O'Clock in the
morning, the pleasant nap which she was possibly
enjoying about that time was quite as good for
her health and spirits. aeTa r gEgs5 "A

Kamehameha first king Of the Sandwich
Islands, was born 10 the middle of the eighteenth
century. Prior to the subjugation of the islands
to his rule they were each governed by distinct

table energy and the moral effect of his superior
governing power he succeeded in bringing under
bis control the entire group, with the exception
of two of the smaller islands, Kauai and Nibaw.
