The unfortunate situation in which this coun-
try has been placed by the absence of Chief
Justice Allen, the incxperience of the First Asso-
Second Associate Justice, affords causc for the
liyeliest fears.
lie has not escaped public notice that the Min
lister of Finance, with an utter contempt of pro-
priety, and disregard for the dignity of his Office,
practices law in civil cases as freely as ever. If
the evil stopped here, and did Lot extend any
further than dragging in the dust an Office which
exists more for dignity than use, (but not however
for such uses,) we might suffer the Minister of
Finance to 60 on unmolested in the pursuit of
what has been rather irreverently called the al
mighty dollar, and make himself and his Office
equally contemplate.
But we cannot shut our eyes to the immensely
preponderating influence for evil which he exerts
as an advocate over other advocates, by means of
his power and authority as the Chief Minister of
the Crown, a power and authority which must
always exist in some degree where the Minister is
an advocate, however upright and bigh-minded
the Minister, and experienced, learned and indie
pendent the court, but which no honorable man
would willingly put himself in the position to
incur any suspicion of having used. The argu-
Dents and statements of Minister of the Crown
in n court of justice, however unfair and illegal,
must be listened to with greater favor by the court
On account of his exalted position, and there is no
doubt that upon all points when the court abors
ander the disadvantages of Ignorance and inexpe-
rience, that the ipse DIRT of the Minister of the
will be received before that of his oppo-

Take the Lead.

The leading article in this weeks Gazette Is a
well written one, which takes for it's text the
proposal of the japanese Government to send an
Embassy to this kingdom. IF the Embassy could
be the means of bringing about a closer CONNER
cial connection between this kingdom and Japan,
it should certainly be encouraged. Our pressing
need is an extended market for our principal
article of export, sugar, by which we may be
rendered somewhat independent of the capitalists
and SPECTATORS of California. The writer Of the
article alluded to, says:
EFT is to be regretted that some of our merchants
do not regard favorably the enterprise of endeavor-
ing to establish a trade direct with Japan, as there
can be but little doubt that our best grades OF sugar
would meet with n ready sale here, at prices quite as
good, if not better, than We are at present realizing. -
Precept is good, but example goes farther IN
any endeavor to correct abuses, or establish
enterprises. Taking into consideration the fact
that different members of His Majesty's Govern
ment are largely interested in sugar estates, and,
as the ministerial organ is satisfied that our bet
ter grades of sugars would sell readily, at as
good, if not better, rates than in California,
Oregon or Vancouver's Island, we may be excused
for suggesting to the gentlemen of the Govern
ment that they exhibit their desire for the public
good, their public spirit, by initiating a direct
trade to Japan. Our merchants, as merchants,
are not SO much interested in this matter as the
planters, but would doubtless cooperate with
them in opening a new market for their sugars.
Charter the r.. w. Wood or some other vessel
and load her with the choice brands of the Lew
ers, Princeville, Onomea and other plantations,
and if the enterprise bears the fruit we are led to
believe it will, it will be Of much greater advan-
tage to the kingdom than a successful expedition
to the South Seas for Ignorant, unskilled laborers.

SHOALS on FrsH--During the past week, particu-
larry nc night, immense shoals Of small red fish,
known among the natives by the euphouious title
of aiaiasa, have been seen in the harbor, and thou

pursuit for men. women and children. The visits Of
this species OF fish occur at intervals Of years, With
out any regularity, and are believed by the more
superstitious Of the natives to prognosticate some no
