CORRESPONDENCE.
Shakespeare, Again.

Editor of the Gazette-Dedr Sir: l trust
that on will not allow yourself TO be drawn
into a discussion of the authorship Of the
Plays, Sonnets and other Poems recognized
as Shakspeare's. by any remarks that may be
made on that subject by the learned Editor
of the Advertiser, or any Of his equally
learned contributors The cool imperti-
hence with which they pretend to criticise a
subject of this kind, is really sublime. You,
yourself, are mistaken in supposing that
Della Bacon and Nathaniel Holmes are the
originators of the theory that the great Chan
cellor bacon and the renowned Sir Walter
Raleigh wrote those immortal Plays. The
theory advanced by those two would-be
modern critics, is simply an attempt to re-
suscitate a notion long since propounded
and exploded by the Shakspearian scholars
of England. Like all small people, the two
persons mentioned would like to bring them
selves before the world In a second edition
of other mems theories, and beg that you,
Mr.. Editor, will not give the very small men
of kindred stamp, who reside here, an op-
portunity of leading Others, more ignorant
if possible than themselves, to think that
they are literary stars of the first magnitude
Yours, &C., Q.

SERVED HIM RIGHT.-Such was the general
verdict of the bystanders yesterday morning,
at the conclusion of set-to on Queen street,
between the keeper of dry goods shop and
a shipping Office runner. The former made
use of the most opprobrious and indecent
Language to the latter, and seemed TO be very
anxious to buy fight. In this he succeeded
at length, the runners patience becoming ex-
hausted, when he pitched in. Two rounds
sufficed to send the dry goods man home
with q broken nose and the loss of some
teeth, while the consolatory words echoed in
his ears-''served him right"

LITERARY TASTES OF HoSoLuLUANs.-The
writer of "Society in the tropics" says that
We of this island city are not literary in our
tastes, and instanced as an illustration, that
be had seen bottle of pickles sold here for
75cts, and volume Of the Encyclopedia
Brittanniea for one real. set of the work
in question, within short time brought
$3.50 per volume at auction, % volumes,
amounting TO sl4S. Standard works of the
best modern writers always bring high prices
here, more especially at auction, while trashy,
yellow covered novels are often sold for q
song. Our people are reading people.

The ONLY Crow LEFT.-Some time ago
good deal oftalk was made about the social
ed China crows that had been introduced
here. They were accused Of being of pirat-
ical disposition, making havoc among chick
ems and pigeons. The consequence was,
that q crusade was made against them by
authority of the Board of Agriculture, and
they disappeared. Lately it appears that
one only of these crows escaped the general
slaughter, and that he has made bis home at
Moanalua, in company with other imported
birds called in India, Ainah-a species of
mocking-bird. 1t would appear that this
lone crow has a talent for mimicking like
the jackdaw, which bird he somewhat
resembles in appearance. A gentleman of
this city was surprised the other morning by
finding this last of the crows perched on
tree in bis garden, initiating with remarka-
bic accuracy the Growing of cock. 1t would
appear then that these birds. possessing the
gift of imitation might have been put to
better use than food for gunpowder. This
being the last of his kind, we hope no one
will interfere with his studies in acquiring
foreign languages by rutblessly shooting at
him-in fact be is protected by the laws OF
the Kingdom Let him alone, friends.

A SAILORS SNUG HARBoR.-On Christmas
afternoon, one of our townsfolk, who has a
residence short distance out of town and
who has a penchant for raising fowls and
perhaps pardonable liking for egg-nog,-
went to his hen house for some eggs, of
which he had accumulated quite store for
the occasion. To his surprise, he found
that his stock of bipeds had increased by a
gratuitous addition of two fine roosters, in
the shape Of two sailors. On enquiring,
they stated that they had been there since
the day previous, and as they were provided
with sustenance which was Tor had been) con-
tanned in sundry black bottles, and as all the
eggs had mysteriously disappeared, the pro-
prietor of the establishment intimated 10 his
foul visitors that their immediate absence
was desirable, enforcing his remarks by a
gentle hint in shape of cowhide vigorously
applied. The Jacks no doubt thought they
had got into very snug harbor.

A CHRISTMAS TREE.-The practice, SO gen.
eral in European countries, of providing a
Christmas Tree, laden with presents for the
young, has, we are pleased TO observe, be-
come quite common in Honolulu. On last
Monday evening, quite large company Of
ladies and gentlemen, with numerous child
ren, assembled at st. Adams College, where
was provided splendid tree, which was fairly
loaded down with articles provided to delight
the eyes of the little ones, and equally so
those of the children of larger growth. Her
Majesty Queen Emma was present, and looked
on the pleasant scene with evident interest
and qualification. Some of the presents were
quite valuable and costly

SINGULAR.-The captain of the Mauna Loa
has informed the Editor of the British Colo
mist at Victoria that the Indian wife of Chas
Huston, the late Burrard Inlet pilot, on the
sth of November informed the people at the
Inlet that she feared her husband was dead.
When asked whys she replied that strange
looking bird with white back and wings and
black breast, appeared at the house in the
morning and although frequently struck
with sticks and stones, had hovered about
the premises some hours, sometimes ap-
preaching so near as to be almost grasped
in the hand. Late in the afternoon it disap-
peared. The woman appeared TO be in a
state Interpolation and alarm but as Huston
had left the Inlet few days before in per-
feet health, nothing more was thought of the
statement by the captain, until upon his ar
rival, when he was informed of Huston's
death on the very day the strange bird had
SO alarmed the woman. The telegraph wire
to New Westminster was down at the time,
and the woman possessed no means OF as
pertaining what was transpiring at Victoria.
Queer, is il not

DULL TIMEs.-The shipping having almost
entirely left the port, added to the fact thai,
the present is holiday week, and that people
feel generally disinclined to Businessmen
if there was any to do-the town presents
very dull appearance. The poor itemizer-
the snapper up of unconsidered trihes"-
wanders disconsolately about-a veritable
Bohemian - looking for items but finding
them not. Nobody breaks leg or an arm to
oblige him; We have no railroads to collide
and smash up people; our only steamboat
can't burst her boiler, seeing that she is laid
up in ordinary-she lays like warrior taking
his rest, with drapery of sails around her;
even the weather, that last resort fora local,
is tantalizingly Interchangeable. Shakespeare
only remains-what our contemporary has
left of him-and so we shall give him lift
against those who are trying to scribble away
his fair fame, by reprinting some portions of
a magazine article on the subject.

they could but get a chance to do so. They

amiss to say that in the crowd that appeared
at the midnight mass were few persons who
claim to be of the elite of the town that ac-
ted quite disgracefully in the church, smok-

better for their flash clothing and for their
responsibilities to have stopped away from
manger. Having no devotions themselves
and disturbing others from their devotions.
In other countries this would not be tolera-

out of the doors in spite of their fine looking
rags. 1t is an outrage on good breeding and
