IL OF the King.
The island of beautiful vallies has been
honored recently by three mof distinguished
visitors, which are thus chromcled in the an
nails of Lanai:
On the night of the 10th OF March, about
Z to ten p M, there appeared to late sitters-
up in Palawaii Valley, in the eastern quarter
of the sky, as though issuing from Halea&a-
la, wondrous meteor-a globe of fire, like
a burning full moon, sweeping along wester-
ly, with roar, and flaming tail, in its aerial
fight, lighting up the beautiful valley, like
the MONDAY sun, and descending apparently
within the aakoko groves, bordering its rim.
This was grander aerolite than the two
celebrated ones seen also by the writer, in
America, in the winter of1s6O. Lanai has been
especially honored by such visitors. One,
according to unquestioned tradition, dropped
in upon her about the time OF Ksmehameha
the Great, upon the n. W. part of the island,
named Hokunui, or Great Star The ancient
islanders speak of burning star that came
down with roar and a mighty shock, ana
which made deep pit, from whence issued
smoke and detonations from the incandes-
cent celestial visitant.
A party went lately to exhume the sepul-
chred asteroid, but they found that after the
lapse of so many years, such depth of al

VOLCANO SMoKE.-The smoke of the vol
cano, which hung about Honolulu for three
or four days, being observed first on Friday
the 10th ult., was also seen by Capt. Stone of
the brig Kamehameha V, at sea, $50 miles 10
the westward. The sun on Friday, with him
as with us, rose shorn of its accustomed
brightness, and could be looked at comforta-
bly, with the naked eye. For four days the
whole atmosphere was thick with smoke, and
during that time he was unable to get an OBJ
servGtion. A light southerly wind, which set
in the day before, brought the smoke to the
position of the Kamehameha. 1t had been
carried to the southland and westward by the
strong trades, and doudbtless may have ex-
tended thousand miles at sea in that direc-
ton. Since the eruption commenced on the
9TH ult. vast masses of smoke have been sent
upward from the open crater, and the dis
lance which it has been carried gives some
idea of the gigantic fire which is burning on
Hawaii.

The city of Hong Kong is one of the larg-
est business ports of China; it contains about
100, 900 Chinese, and $500 white foreigners,
besides the large military and naval forces
stationed there by Great Britain. Over
100000 tons of shipping visit the Larbor
annually, and the value of the exports and
imports exceeds 50 900, 900 per annum. The
business portion of the town is located along
the water front, and there araseveral excel
lent level roads running parallel with the
shore, each being from three TO five miles
long. Strange to say, the immense business
transacted yearly is done by coolie labor,
there not being single wheel vehicle, wheel
barrow included, used to transport the enor-
nous amount of merchandise that has to pass
from one warehouse to another, and from
the shipping to the shore, and vice versa.

CRnE.-At Ioli, Koolau, on Sunday last,
Kaanaana attempted to murder his wife,
Paahao, with an axe. She was lying down,
with her head covered with a kihei, when he
struck her frightful blow on the neck, and
Others on the arms. Her cries alarming the
neighbors, they ran to the house and found
Kaanaana cutting himself with knife. He
wounded himself severely in the abdomen,
but did not succeed in dispatching himself
No cause is apparent for the deed, as the
couple had heretofore lived amicably togeth-
er. Both were alive on Monday.
