The Treaty has, we believe, inherent ele-
ments Of strength in its reciprocity pro-
visions, well appreciated by the Pacific
States 1t has also much TO commend it
to the favorable consideration of the
country at large; and the advisability of
its speedy ratification. We nrsy hope. will
reach the Senators throueh rcasoning from
their own standpoint, as well as by any
further importunate showing by Us. The
presence of an official agent. will constantly
keep in mind that the Treaty is, to US, a
matter of special regard and steady
presentation of the arguments in its favor.
and furnishing informatios Of our sugar
culture, and such other facts as are peril
nent, will interest or convince those who
are, as yet, Indifferent, or engaged in
measures by them deemed of more imme-
diate importance.
The gaining of the public ear by the
well directed and constant activity oil lnol-
viduals here, by private communications,
by articles to local newspapers, and by
whatever way the Treaty may be held up
to consideration, and kept in mind, will
conduce to success in very large degree.
An united and persistent effort in this
direction by all interested in, and heartily
desirous of, the passage Of this Conven-
tion, will, we are persuaded, bring about
greater results, than those who have not
given this point careful consideration. are
ready to cOncede. The action of the Gov
ernment can be powerfully supplemented,
land should be) by proper and wise as
sistance and support from the friends of
the Treaty here.

The following Circular has been issued from
the Department of Foreign Affairs:

lClkCOLAH
An Consuls and Commercial Agents of His
Hayaiian Majesty are enjoined TO give strict
attention to the following instructions
]. As repeated attempts have been made to
place under the Hawaiian Flag vessels not
owned by Hawaiian citizens or subjects, no
provisional register win be issued to any ves-
sci whatever, except upon the application Of
subjects Of His Majesty, and in no case will
such provisional registers be issued until it
shall be satisfactorily shown that such vessels
are, in fact, wholly owned by subject or sub
jects of this Kingdom, and are about to pro-
ceed by direct route to some port Of this
Kingdom.
II. All provisional registers will be granted
for limited time only, the duration of which
shall be clearly stated on the face of the same,
and shall not exceed what may reasonably be
required to enable the vessel holding the same
to reach some port of this Kingdom.
III. Consuls are forbidden to grant pro-
visional register q second time to any vessel.
and the fact that the vessel. so professionally
registered, shall not have visited any port with
in the time limited in the provisional register,
will be always held. to be conclusive evidence
of fraudulent intent. unless the delay shall
have been occasioned by disaster at sea, or
other uncomfortable cause.
". Consuls are specially instructed not to
recognize the provisional registers granted by
other Consuls after the expiration of the time
limited in such registers. nor will such regis
ters be recognized at any port not in the direct
route from the port where the same may have
been granted to some port in the Hawaiian
Kingdom, unless such port shall have been
visited in consequence of disaster or to escape
from serious and unavoidable perils and in
no case will any such provisional registers be
recognised, when it shall appear from the ves-
sells papers, or otherwise, that since the grant
ing Of such provisional registers, the vessels
holding the same. shall have been within the
waters of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

The Government has decided that it
is advisable to continue to have a repre-
sentative at Washington, charged with the
duty of giving special attention to the
Treaty, still pending in the Senate. In its
present position in that body, it may be
called up for debate at any time during
this winters session and in such case its
friends ought to be furnished by us with
such information and arguments, from the
Hawaiian standpoint, as may tend to
strengthen their own views, and gain those
not already familiar with the subject.
It is acknowledged that the services of
our late Envoy-his Excellency c. G..
Harris-during his long stay in Washing
ton, were of great benefit, and that he
zealously, and most satisfactorily, carried
on the mission committed to his care.
To q public servant, complete success
in an important undertaking, is satisfac-
tion that may well be coveted, and if this
be not attained, the appreciation of his
efforts, the Endorsement of his conduct,
and belief in his ability and fitness by his
fellow citizens, is a just ground of COM
placency. The memorial which has been
sent to His Majesty, numerously signed
by our residents, approving Of the course
Of our Envoy, and expressing . confidence
in his fitness for still conducting the mat
ter, while they are q sufficient answer to
the detraction Of personal hostility at
home, must convince our friends abroad
that this community are ready to intrust
to him, its most important affairs.
To our planters and merchants, the
Treaty seems so desirable that they are
now ready to assist heartily whatever
action may help it forward TO favorable
termination. But 1T must be remembered
that, while it does not comprise everything
of importance to the Islands, neither the
wishes Of this Government, nor the ability
or efficiency Of its agents, are alone suf-
6cient arguments. to commend its ratifca-
ton, to the great nation with which We
are seeking peculiar commercial alliance.

The Memorial

Last week we published a Memorial, ad-
dressed to His Majesty, by q number of our
residents. The following statement explains
ITSELF
We, the undersigned residents of the Ha-
waiian Islands, having recently addressed
memorial to His Majesty, respecting the pres
ence of an Agent of His Majesty at Washing
ton, desire to express our surprise and regret
at the misconstruction which has been placed
on the intention of the Memorial by the editor
of the Pacific Commercial Adrertiser.
We therefore take this opportunity of pub
licly denying the truth of the statement that ::
"the mercantile community here have little
faith in the good that has been, or may be ac-
complished by him, His Majesty's late Envoy
and did not by any means, by the memorial,
intend to recommend him."
We further declare. that it was and is our
intention, by means of our said Memorial,
to manifest our high appreciation of the faith
full and untiring efforts made by His Ex., c.
c. Harris, His Majesty's lrte Envoy at Wash
ington, in pursuance of the object of his mis-
sion.
Whilst praying that the mission might be
continued, we did not presume to recommend
any one to the nomination of His Majesty,
but we arc unanimous in the conviction that
in consideration of the experience gained, and
the discretion, ability and devotion manifested
by His Ex. c. C. Harris in his past labors at
Washington, no other Agent can continue the
work so efficiently or justly with so much as-

Latest News from DR.. Livingstone.

Sir Roderick Murchison announces the
receipt of letters from the explorer Liv-
ingstone. writing in October and Decem-
Der, 1867, and dated at Marungu and
Cazembe, places lying south and south
westerly OF Lake Tanganyika. When
these letters were written, DIR. Living
stone had been living for three months
with friendly Arabs, waiting for the close
of native war before proceeding on his
way to Ujiji, and he told an Arab mes.
seuger that after exploring Lake Tang
anyika be intended to return to Zanzi-
bar. This is the first announcement from
himself that he intends to quit Africa by
that route. Sir Roderick remarks:
With the authentic data now before US,
we may well believe that the news which
came by telegraph from Bombay, dated
October g. was perfectly correct; for,
after Livingston Quilted the southern
end of Tanganyika, he will have had
about ten months to explore the whole
course Of that lake, and afterward to find
his way to the seacoast. The ordinary
post from Zanzibar, whether by the Sey-
chelles or the Cape, usually takes six
weeks or more to reach England, and
hence if my distinguished friend reaches
that place in week after the departure
Of the steamer which carried the news to
Trincomalee, some weeks may probably
elspse before we can know of his arrival
at Zanzibar. He may, indeed, bring the
news himself, and enable his sdmiring
ceuntrymen to give him hearty welcome
before Christmas"

Suicide Of Three Girls.

A London paper says: A singular case

keeper Of the Acton lock, was aroused at
about quarter to two by man in
charge Of the pump-engne on the canal,
who having heard screams, followed by
splashing in the water, had come for the
drags. Whitemane Immediately pro-
ceeded TO the spot indicated, about one
hundred and fifty yards from the lock-
house, and, after dragging for short
time, succeeded in bringing to the shore
the body of q girl. In the meantime,

men, followed the party to the house for
the drags, as il was known that two other
girls had jumped from the Queens road.
bridge. Whitemane at once returned
and after short time brought one body
to the surface. The weight on the drags
was very great, and it was soon discov.

was tightly holding the hair of the other
unfortunate creature. Both having been
got out of the water dead, the bodies
were removed to Shoreditch workhouse.
all the girls had been seen together
at late hsur, at one time sitting in the
street drinking from bottle, and two of
their companions say that they spoke Of

to jumping from the bridge, one of those
who chose that method of ending her
existence observed: "There are some
