WAR IN IREIAND.-At last blows have been
struck and blood spilled on Irish soil by those who
are battling for the freedom of their native land.
The Fenians begin to show life in the proper place.
They have attacked Drogheda barracks and Castle
Martyr, have torn up the rails between Dublin and
Cork. stopped all communication between those
places. and are doubtless in arms with a determin-
alton to make n strong effort to burst the British
yoke. From the dispatches which doubtless repre-
sent the Government side of the question. it is evil
dent that there is q considerable insuTrectionary or
patriotic movement in the south and southwest Of
Ireland. DrO9heda. where the barracks were at
tackled, is t~hiTty-one miles north Of Dublin by rail,
and Castle Martyr. which was also attacked. is some
one hundred and twelve miles southwest from
Dublin. showing that the attacking forces cover a
considerable space.
The French Minister. under date of Paris, Feb
ruary 10Th. writes to Secretary Seward that there
is an expression Of much good feeling towards the
United States. The following is a translation of
that part of the exposition which has reference to
Mexico I'VE need not recUr at this time to the
necessity which led Us to undertake the expedition
to Mexico. We sought redress for grievances of
every description, and for injustice from which our
people suffered for many years, and, animated by
that generous sentiment which will always induce
France to render her Intervention useful wherever
she shall be led to carry her arms. we did not re-
fuse terms by which all interests would have been
prof:vd but in lending cooperation at this work
the Government of the Emperor had assigned be
forehand limits TO its sacrifices. and the Emperor
had fixed the end of the present year as the extreme
term of our occupation The evacuation was to
have been commenced In three attachments the
first leaving in the month of November. 1866, the
second in March. and the third in November, 1867.
These arrangements We're cOnfoTmable to our pre-
vious intention, but reasons arising out OF cIrcum-
stances determined the Emperor to substitute for
partial excavations at these times a simultaneous
transportation of the whole corps ddr1nee in the
Spring of the present year. These measures are
anw in course of execution. and in the month of
March next our troops will have left Mexico. Far
from desiring to free itselffrom engagements which
it has contracted on its own account, and it has
publicly announced, the Government of the Empe-
rr will hasten THEN f%ulfllment."

AMERICAN ILLUSTRATED PAPERs.-Harper's Weekly
and Leslie's illustrated have been received to the end
of February. They are richly embelished with costly
engravings, and for the price at which they are fur
nished $500 a Year, are cheap. No family can
afford to be without one of these journals, which
serves to amuse and educate young as well as old.
Captains bound to sea can always obtain files of these
papers, and there is nothing 50 entertaining for sea
reading. -
THE LANCAsTER.-Our readers will be glad to learn
that this ship has arrived at home safely, despite the
reports to the contrary. She was safely at anchor at
Annapolis, Md, in February.

THAT BOILER AGAIN.-The boiler that was sent to
Koolau last fall and was anchored off Kaalaea, from
which anchorage it broke away and drifted to sea,
was fallen in with by Capt. Miller of the Milton Bad
ger, on her last trip to the Coast, about fifty miles to
windward of Oahu. The Captain tried to pick it up,
but the wind and heavy sea prevented. Its position,
when seen, would Indicate that the current was set
ting to the northeastward. 1t may yet bring up OH

1t is a fair specimen Of the literature which the Gov

writer, who is well known here, should, if he
intends writing any more such articles, make early
application for accommodations in the Insane Asylum.

mad If such productions can afford any criterion,
collins will soon be required for the Gazette and its
unhappy contributors. Is it not a disgrace, however,
to this Government that n man should be employed
as Judge who is capable of penning such an article,
which, had his name been attached, would be suffi-
cient cause for dismissal from office instanter?

- The following will interest whaling captains,
a. any weapon that aids them to kill whales is a
boon. The poison bomb-lance was used some years
ago, but it was then found that handling the carcass
poisoned the sailors, and often rendered them unfit
for service. This is doubtless an Improvement on
the other:
NEW METHOD OF WHALE HILLING.-AmeriCans are ac-
qusinted with the homhlance method of killing whales, but a
FrenchuIan named Tiiercelm. has improved upon il. lie kills
with poison added To the explosive material in the bomb. Ii is
composed by mixing a salt of stryChliue with one-twenteth Of
wOorall. To apply il To whal--fshing, he makes the compound
up into cartridges of one ounce each. Each cartridge is imbed-
dad in the gunpowder contained in an explosive shell. which is
fired OH on the whale. In a late whaling voyage ten whales
received such missiles. ana all died within from four To eighteen
minutes after the infection of the wound. Out of these ten
whales six were cut up for their b.ubber and w~halebonc. Their
remains were handled by careless men. who frequently had
scratches and sores ON their skin. and yet not one of them suf-
ferod the slightest irjury-a circumstance that shows the poi
son cannot he transmitted from the fish TO the men.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1867-04-06

WATER.-It is very right and proper that the Su-
rerintendent Of Water Works should take good care
of his pipes and see that the hydrants are kept in
order, but it is rather a dry kind of a joke when he
shuts oil the water without warming, as he did on
Tuesday last. One hand washes the other says
the German proverb, and it is to be supposed that
hodsekeepers will take warning from frequent lessons
and p%atronize the coopers by providing themselves
with tubs and barrels whereby they may lay in n sup
ply Of water every morning, for there is no telling at
what moment they may try the tap and find it dry.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1867-04-06

AccTDENT.-On Monday afternoon a man named
Woodman was run over by a carriage on Fort street,
near Hotel street. He was crossing just when the
street was blocked by a carriage standing near the
sidewalk, and two others were coming up to pass
each other. He was warned To get out of the way,
but was apparently confused, and though every effort
was made to check the horse, it was not possible to
avoid the c~astrophe. Although Woodman was knocked
down and stunned, no serious injury was sustained.

BURGLARY. Last Sunday morning, at about
four O'Clock, a couple of scamps, supposed by the
pair of shoes they left behind them, to have been
Chinese Coolies, entered the dry goods store next
makai of Morgan's butcher shop on Fort street.
They had no time however to commit any depreda-
tons, as a Cinnamon employed in the butcher shop
discovered their presence in the store and gave the
alarm, calling loudly for the police, when the bur-
glars hastily decamped.

CooLIEs.-By the Bernice. news came of the Pc
troneIa. which vessel left Hongkong with about 200
coolies last October. She was caught in a typhoon
off China, which 50 damaged the ship that she put
into Manila, where she was condemned. Word hav-
ing been sent back to Hongkong of the disaster,
another ship was chartered-the British bark East
feid, Capt. Worth, to proceed to Manila to take the
cargo and coolies of the PGtrOaeNd. The EdStfeid
left Manila probably about the first of February,
bound to Honolulu, and therefore may be expected
here daily. Planters wishing to procure coolies
may therefore have a chance by the arrival of the
ErSLfeLf - En-PHe. -

y NEW DNmY.-The daily evening Despatch is
the name Of a new publication started in San Fran
cisco, in which Mr.. J. J. Ayres is concerned as pro-
prietor and Mr.. M'George as local editor. Both gen.
tlemen, it will he remembered, were connected with
the daily Herald of this city. The paper is smartly
conducted, and gives evidence of being posted on
Hawaiian affairs, by the frequent illusions to politics
and matters here.
