SmD AT AUCrIoN.-On Tuesday last. H. W.
Severance sold at public auction as per previous
. notice. the Rltlitl~ III Nata'hb N~HN.
the R. H.. Agricultural Garden. consisting OF fifty
one and a quarter acres. 1t was sold entire, and
was bought by Gov. Dominis, in the name OF
Queen Emma. for 81. 200, which was undoubtedly
less nv far than its actual value. The net receipts,
after expenses of sale and survey are deducted. will
nrobablv not exceed -. 600. the sum named In our
last A. likely TO be realized. The valuable trees
and shrubs now growing on the land could not be
imported. planted and raised for anything like
twice that sum. 1t makes n fine addition to the
Queens rural property. which it Immediately adj
Joins. and we doubt not will be improved and
kept as Il garden. and probably in far better con
dition than if the Agricultural Society had contin-
ued to retain possession Of 1t.
Sr1RrvE CorRr-The Court is still in session.
Only two eases were acted upon this week, that >
y. Emerson as. T.. Mofitt. administrator of the
estate of ]. Kalanipoo. for the recovery of a debt
of SOB. in which on motion of Mr.. Judd, Il nom
suit was entered and that OF j. Il. Holden, in
dictcd for an ~attcmptto commit a rape on a female
child under the age of ten years. In the latter
case. the iurv returned a verdict of not guilty, two
Jurors dissenting. The Attorney General for the
crown and Mcssrs. Stanley and Jones for the pri-
soner. The case of II. T.. Wakeman as. Queen
Kalama anne up yesterday in banco' and Is sull
pending. =
\ LITERARY CURIOSITY-The Hawaiians who
have acquired some knowledge of English are fond
t of displaying it, and sometimes make queer work
of it. as witness the following verbatim ct literatim
/ copy of a letter addressed to a gentleman on one
2 of the other islands:
DEAR SIR. I hope to send to you some letter because 1 am
l very much love for you in this time will you please me to
send me some letter in the mail 1 gave to d x some Bread
and some piece Of tobacco that is all things 1 gave him 1 told
him that is your kind to him.
l Yours truly very slave s.s+..
rTs- More than usual religious interest prevails
in this city at present, and the evening meetings a
: the Fort Street Church, which have been held every
evening the past week, have been very crowded
= I'm San Francisco there has been a revival of reli
zion in progress for some two months, under the
preaching of Il Methodist clergyman, Mr.. Earle, bu
the churches of all denominations have shared il
the increased attention to religious interests, anC
in the conversions which have taken place.
Tur Ku.rEA-On Thursday last a petition wa
!. filed in the Supreme Court by G. Emmes, par
: owner of the steamer hiloued. praying that SIN
NAV be sold. as the firm OF Walker, Allen IL Co.
I who have gone into bankruptcy, are owners in tina
Y vessel to the extent of one half. and she is conse
: auently detained in the hands of the Marshal. Tn
!, decision of the Court will be given this morning
: and it is therefore uncertain whether the steame
n will resume her regular trips on Monday.
l. TIE WEATuER-All the first part of this wee
II we have had Gains and easlerly airs. but on Thurs
Z dav the wind set in a fresh breeze from the South
{ ward. and it is possible that we may have anothe
Kona. though rs vet the clouds are chary of thei
moisture and refuse to rain. The prevalence {
this wind will probably l~engthen somewhat tn
y passage of the d.. C. Murray. now nearly due froI
San Francisco. -
SAN FRANCISCO MINr.-The L. s. GOvernmer
: has lately purchased Il lot on which to erect a Min
the building to he commenced as soon as tn
State cedes the land to the General Government
II An exchange says of this purchase
.e The lOO. vara lot on the corner Of Mission and Fifth street ct
and tile new stone building will he two stories 81 feet higl
feet : the whole to cost 5000 600. Congress has already appr
- priated half that sum. 1t will soon be going up.
\ SALE or IMPORTED HoRSEs.-We note the sale b
auction, on Saturday last, of two American ca
. riacc horses, we'll matched. and said to be of goo
u pedigree. imported by Mr.. J. J. Ayers. They wer
not. however in good condition. not having yt
III become actlimatcd. Together with a set of harnes
y they brought S275. Capt. j. Meek being the purch'
y ser. One OF these animals has been a famous rae
> horse and won for his owners in years gone by, II
" small sums of money. He was known as Lon
: Island.' -
STRAwBERRu,s-We are gratifed to see these d.
licious berries again returning to market after a
interim of nearly Il year. They are raised in ii
;; late garden of the Agricultural Society. now Quce
Emma's property, and by natives living abo'
there. 1t would seem as If the cultivation OF thel
- might be made profitable to the growers, as the
is can always sell all they can raise. and we hay
te known them TO dispose of from five to ten dollar
IL worth a day. -
FIRE AT KAU.-By the schooner EInetine, whic
h. arrived yesterday from kau, we learn that ii
d. dwelling of Capt Crane. (who was absent at Il
time on his veSsel.) was destroyed by fire on Il
