SATURDAY,. JUNE I.
NOTES or TIE WEEK.

Lerel that the .Liu4a LOs sailed from this port on
the 10th Of February la-t, FOR islands north or south
Of the equator, where she was to procure bonded Ia
borvrs Tor the Board Of Immigration. The bark re-
turned ON Tuesday last having succeeded in obtaining
eishty-;our persons. u which number twenty-five are
children. The Gazette states that they were pro
cured at Humphrey AMI Relrson Islands. The bark
did not come inside and to the wharf until Welnes-
day morning, when she was thrOnged with visitors,
native aud foreign. The natives are somewhat light
er than Hawaiiaus and their features are somewhat
more angular, having more Of an Indian caste. They
are evidently q mild, kindly disposed people and
cyinoe traits Of character nearly akin To those Of
our ISLANDERS. Their language is very similar, their
wants being understood by persons conversant
with the native language. We have not learned as
to the disposition 10 be made Of this party.

\ Boar RAcE-Rumors are current of 4 race TO
come ol between two sail boats Of the Rhode Island
skifF model, now being constructed for parties in this
city. The boats will be between twenty-one and
twenty-five feet long ON the keel. The keel Of one of
the boats was laid at the ship yard of NIessrs. Tibbets
4 Sorenson, ON Thursday last that Of the other
near the stream back Of Liberty Hall, by Mr.. Thomas
Clark. Boat sailing is a harmless and healthful
amusement, and our harbOr for six months Of the year
presents u fine field for q trial.
MAKAwAo FEMALE SENINARY.-An appeal to the
public for means to rebuild the Seminary, lately de-
stroyei by fire, has been made. and has 50 far met
with a generous response. 1t Is proposed To place
the property in the hands Of a Board of Trustees, for
the use and benefit of such Hawaiian females as may
choose to avail themselves of its course Of education.
The Seminary has been doing Il good work, and should
be rc-established at the earliest possible moment, in
order that the seventy odd pupils may be gathered
usheiure they become denOraiIZed.
HAWAIIAN ENrERPRISE.-Three native IIawaiians
1iave opened u carpenter shop on King street. as
will be seen by card in orr advertising columns,
aud ask for "A share OF public patronage. Dir.
Kumalac. the senior member of the firm, Is IL car
penter OF many years standing. having served 4
long apprenticeship under Mr.. Charles W. Vincent.
We say. as We always have. that when llawaiians
come into the market in competition Tor trade or
work. that they should BE- encouraged.
u Our thanks are due to Captain Brown and
the first officer Of the brig Fred Thompson, for cour-
tesies shown in making up memoranda of their voy-
age. We found Captain Brown to be a firm believer
in the sounduess of Lieutenant Maury's system OF
wind and current charts, of which he has a complete
set, with accompanying volume of directions and
other works, presented by the Lieutenant for abstract
logs furnished by the Captain.
4 NEW LoCK.-We were shown n few days since 4
new combination Lock, the invention of a brother of
Mr.. J. II. Thompson, which for compactness and Sc
curity is hard to beat. The lock shown us is intended
as a drawer lock, but the same principle can be used in
the construction fanny lock used. by the combination
of letters arranged in the handle, the drawer can be
opened and closed by a child, but thrown out, force
alone can succeed in gaining an entrance.
Anniversary or THE BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL
Thursday last, June 18th. was the Anniversary of
the Battle of Bunker Hill, a day very generally OBJ
served in most of the Eastern cities of the United
States. Flags were hoistel on shore and also on
the shipping in the harbor, reminding all Of
one of the great events in American history. The
18th was also the anniversary of the great attack
aud repulsc of Lees forces on the national troops be-
fore Petersburg, in 1861.
The QUIcEEsr YET.-The steamship China, of the
Cunard line, arrived ut Boston May 9th, in the re-
markably short passage Of seven days twenty-three
and a quarter hours from LiyerpOol-the shortest
passage across the Atlantic ocean ever made. Pas
sengers for San Francisco might have reached that
city inside of fifteen days from Liverpool, which will
lie regularly performed ere long.
TINS DAY.-At half-past twelve CPD o'clock to-
day. will he sold the stock of the Photograph Gal
lcry Cvc' the .AdrertiSer Office. including a great
collection OF pictures of kings. queens, princes,
dukes and other notables. y rare chance.
\ Strict SwEEFER-The Road Supervisor has
received. by the F,ed Thompson, an improved
Street sweeper. The brush Is placed diagonally
between two wheels which when set in motion,
throws the dirt into a pile along the centre of the
street ready to be taken up in carts.
School EXAMINATIoNs.-We have not noticed the
examinations Of schools which have taken place the
past two weeks, not from lack Of interest, but from
a desire to embody them all in an article on schools.
which We purpose publishing next week.

Lewis Cooper shop, has been fitted for q market,
