NOTES OF THE WEEK.
FROM TAHITI-Via San Francisco we learn that
the French Admiral received a telegram, while in
that port, to proceed to Tahiti and arrest Count En-
lie de Ia Roncier, and send him to France, and in
consequence he was unable to visit Honolulu. The
cause of the arrival here in August of the French de-
spatch boat La .Moths Piquet, in such haste from
San Francisco, is also explained. BY the arrival at
San Francisco of the Nautilus aud Hinifred, dates
from Tahiti were received up to the Goth of July.
The new Governor, NJ. Jouslsrd, arrived on the 9Th
of that month, and on the 10th he published
a decree repeating all the acts and laws passed by
his predecessor, and also dismissed the Secretary
General, NJ. Marlynie, by order of the Emperor, and
NJ. Morresau. These gentlemen were sent prisoners
to France. Count de Ia Roncier and his Chief Justice
at once embarked for New Zealand. where it is sup
posed they will remain. The officers that were sent
10 France in 1868, have all been ordered to return,
viz: NJ. Boyee, Lieut.. Governor, who has spent
nearly a year in prison, NJ. Parryon, Secretary Gen.
eral, and NJ. Boret, Captain of the Port.
One of the overseers on the Tahiti cotton plantation
was murdered by the Cinnamon, and four of the
murderers were sentenced to death. The sentence on
one has been carried into effect. In presence of the
coolies on the place, his head was cut off. He told
the manager just before the execution that the taking
VI HIS liC WOdia hOt o1'S hihS 90 NV AboA' NAS
determined to murder him. The manager has had
his bedroom lined with sheet iron and his windows
with two inch bar iron. The cotton crop this year
will not exceed 450, 900 pounds 1t is said that NJ.
Jouslard is about to bring the monster Laias to JUS
tice for fogging n Pendryn Island woman to death in
1867, under circumstances of the utmost brutality.
From this news, it would appear that France, despotic
as she is called, is determined to establish justice in
Tahiti, and punish officers who usurp and abuse their
authority. -
ga FOREIGNER trith long Earsanda rusty Pen,
whose early training has been so sadly neglected,
that he has yet to learn that 4. philantbrophist'' and
g philanthrophy'' are found in no modern dictionary,
and who says he is unable "to hire himself out for
reasonable wages has been ventilatingh his fossilized
ideas in the government paper, at the rate, as he
tells us, of : : one cent q line.'' His long ears embel-
lish every paragraph of his rare composition, which
proves to the satisfaction of the public that there is
one live noodle at least in the town. The
organ'' has made a brilliant acquisition to its staff.
yE The building formerly occupied by Mr.. Horn,
!Confectioner, opposite the Bethel Church, has been
completely overhauled and fitted up as a Shaving and
Hair cutting saloon, and will be under the manage
ment of Mr.. Bradley, so long and favorably known
at " King Barber's'' establishment on Fort street.
The furniture and fittings of this saloon were pro-
cured in the east by Mr.. B. during his recent visit to
the States, and show a determination to crafty the
public taste and demands. The saloon will be opened
to-day. -
! THE "FEARLEss."-Mr Thomas Thrum has for
fsome time past been employing his spare hours in
building n sail boat. The boat is "a feet in length
and 8 feet wide, drawing, in ballast, about 20 inches
of water, and is coppered and copper fastened. 1t
at last found her equal, if not superior, in point Of
speed. The Fearless can be seen at Emmes' ship
yard. -

= IF our readers desire to know what the CO.
<ette is sustained for by the Ministry, let them read
the gar6ied report of the Hazlin VS.. Mcdonald case
in the last issue of that paper. The Second Asso-
ciate Justice having committed a series of blunders,
the manager of that paper tries TO corer the same by
an adroitly prepared report of the case.
Il Capt Ralph, late master of the Matte Banks,
his requested us to correct the error into which the
Gazette and Punehbogi have fallen, to the effect
that the loss of the Matte Banks was premeditated.
The loss of the vessel is attributed by him to the
fact that a strong current was setting towards the
island, and that the ship did not answer her helm
promptly. -

Resigned the management of the Makawao Boys
