SUNDAY BULLOCK DRIvINa.-It is bad enough that
cattle brought from the other islands to Honolulu
should be landed within the limits of the town, con-
frary TO ia,v, and driven along to the pens through
thickly inhabited districts but when this is done on
Sunday, as was the case this week. and just at the
hour when people are going to church. it is not only
a nuisance and dangerous, but involves a dissertation
of the peace and sacredness of the day. A number of
bullocks were landed last Sunday morning from the
schooner Kamaiie, from Molokai, and were driven
towards the slaughter house along Queen street. Two
Of the animals, probably from the worry of confne-
ment on ship board and thirst, took the sulks in a lot
makai of the Kawaiahao Church grounds, and for a
long time refused to bulge when urged by blows and
lasso. One of the vaqueros-a native, and extremely
skillful-advanced on foot towards one of the animals
and tried in various ways to induce him to move, for

of the fellow was too much for the bullock, and he
made a lunge forward, and the agile vaquero. instead
of being impaled on the horns, caught hold of each
with his hands and was thrown over the bullock's
back. Immediately again on his feet, he mounted
astride the still obstinate creature, and spurred him
into activity, and away he went in tow of the other
horseman who had the lasso. All this collected a large
crowd, and would have been quite interesting and
amusing perhaps on any other day than Sunday. but
as it was, it only served to materially disturb the
quiet of the day and alarm people whose children
were at that hour on the way to Sunday-school.
There should be some rule, rigitg enforced, against
driving loose cattle through any part of the town.
The law is now q dead letter.
- In the late San francisco papers we find the
account of n running away with o steamboat O.
board of which was an old island resident, Mrs. 4.
B.. Bates. Judge Bates, United States Bankrupt
Commissioner. as assignee of o bankrupt firm vito
owned property on Puget Sound. proceeded to make
an inventory of the property, in order to do which
he embarked on a steamer belonging to the bank
rupts to 60 to one of the mills, the property of the
firm. Judge Bates had landed, leaving Mrs. B. on
board, when a party came on board, threw the cap
tain overheard, cut the steamer adrift, and started
of with her.
"Mrs. Bates being greatly alarmed screamed piteousiy, when
Spalding came to her with his pistol cooked and said: Stop

in which Mrs. Bates had to sit. Mr.: spaIding told her to go
an Indian hut, knowing she could not walk back, for the
tide was coming in, and she would be washed away; but the
moment Mrs. Bates was landed she started rapidly to walk for

CHINA GooDs.-The display of rich China goods,
can be seen at Messrs. Along & Achuck's in
Nuuanu street, reminds old residents Of the importa-
tons from that quarter in former years. 1t comprises
the richest and choicest assortment offered in this
market for many a year. Heavy silks, elegant pinas,
an endless variety of ivory ware and real contract
mating are among the articles we noticed in a recent
visit -
The steamer Idaho ought to arrive by four
on Wednesday afternoon, bringing papers

York to S~eptember oath ; and from London to

fifty, many of them returning islanders, who have
absent several months for pleasure or business.
