BY the report OF c. r. Bishop, the Treasurer, it
appears that the receipts Of the Society during the
past two years from all sources have amounted to the
sum of 81 $40 IL. The expenditures during the
same period have i,Achel the amount OF SIT $50 90,
leaving IA balance 2, cash on hand, OF ~ 1853 81.
The Treasurer estimates that the assets up to the
first of July will foot up SO satisfactorily rs TO show II
surplus in the treasury of 20 800. He concludes his
report as follows:
Iron beisteads have been ordered to replace the
worn out wooden ones, and funds RENTED TO pay for
them; and other improvements have been made dur
ing the last two years.
There is room and every convenience and provision
sufficient for Il much larger number of patients than
has been in the hospital at any one time; and it would
undoubtedly be beneficial 70 many of the inligent
sick scattered throughout the Kingdom if they would
avail themselves OF the advantages freely offered to
them. -
DEPARTURE or THE MORNING SrAR.-The sschil-
dren's schooner again left port on Monday last,
this time for Micronesia, it being her first visit in
that direction. The Rev. E. Johnson, of Kauai, goes as
delegate from the Hawaiian Evangelical Association,
on the present occasion embarking at Han.lei, Kauai.
At the wharf, previous to the schconer's departure,
addresses were made, a prayer said and a hymn sung,
and then the beautiful craft spread her white wings
and speelel forth on her mission of mercy to the still
b~enigltei tribes who inlabit the islands of this ocean.
None will fail to wish her "God speed"
- The Hawaiian Government having very properly
RENTED the port charges on the .NOrning Star, a
Committee of the Missionary Board, consisting Of
Messrs G.. z. Judd and others called on the Ministry
last week to acknowledge the courtesy, and at the
same time stated that Capt. Bingham, the master Of
the Missionary packet would gladly undertake the
delivery to the chief of Butaritari, of any letters
which it might he thought advisable to send him,
respecting the killing of three Hawaiians last year,
by himself and his people. We learn by the Ga-efts,
that a letter was prepared by the Cabinet, addressed
to the chief, and sent by Capt. Bingham, who
undertook its translation into the language of Butari-
tart.
- 1t must prove highly gratifying, not only to the
thousands of little ;. stockholders > in this Missionary
packet, but to the friends of humanity every where,
to see her thus actively carrying forward her appoin-
ted work. -

in Honolulu, and rs usual, lots of people were seen
about the streets with bills, and money, though
90 tight as is always the case ut this season of the
year, changed hands pretty freely. AS a general
rule, money is easier in the quarter ending with
April than in any other. The system of quarterly
settlement of accounts is a judicious one. and should
he adopted by every man who allows of credits and
debts. be he Il mechanic, trader or professional. Al
though cash payments are the best rule, yet if
promptly paid, quarterly settlements are nearly as
good. No business can he safely carried on without
prompt and frequent settlement of all accounts.
Tue ALBION CRICKET CIus.-This Association,
which was formally organized last week, had u fine
picnic on the Fourth, at Makiki. They had two of
the tents of the Honolulu Rifle Corps, and Mr.. John
