The Pittsburg Commercial says;
u" Not much doubt exists now that the

was first detained at Philadelphia,
and afterwards at Halifax, on suspi-

finally gone to sea in that capacity.
A letter has been received from Of

A PETITION to GEo. PEABODY is in
circulation among the women Of the
South, and it is expected to obtain
ten thousand signatures to it. It's oh
ject is to induce Mr.. PEABODY to so
change the plan of his educational
endowment for the South that fe-
males equally with the males can en-
joy its advantages. 1t is expected
that the Southern States will add
largely to the peeuniary resources for
equal education if Mr., PEABODY will
give it his encouragement. No addi-
tional money is asked Of the great
benefactor, only that the women shall
receive equal consideration with the
other gender.

\ correspondent Of the New York Herald in
China, in a letter to that Journal, uses the fol-
lowing language:
al have recently made a tour of the East, visited
again the Chinese ports on the seaboard, gone over
to Manila, thence to Singapore, thence to Sarawac
and back again, thence to Sydney. Melbourne and
Wellington ; thence TO Point de Gale, Madras,
Bombay, Calcutta, and thence away around once
more to here, my starting point. / have seen all the
East, its immense wealth, its incalculable resources.

will have it, and 1 don't know him if he don't. 1
can imagine myself standing near San Francisco on
the seashore and facing the Pacific. Right across
the ocean is the great Chinese empire with its teem-
ing millions, its immense productions of tea, silk,
rice, cotton and manufactured articles and its i'm
mense requirements. Between me and China is n
chain Of islands fertile in soil, salubrious in climate
and containing 30.OOO. 900 Of inhabitants This is
Japan. Down to my left, grouped on the bosom Of
the Pacific, are the Sandwich Islands, connected by
steam with San Francisco. Still further down are
the great islands Of Borneo, Java and Sumatra, the
Moluccas, the Philippines, and countless other groups.

that San Francisco is destined to be to the other.
The question which should interest us at the
present time is-what influence can We bring to
bear to induce steam lines to touch at our ports?
Could we influence the steamship companies
running vessels from San Francisco to China and
Japan, and the projected line from the same port
to Australia, to touch at these Islands, the ques-
ton of immigration will soon be solved. Before,
however, we can expect persons to come here, we
should make known what facilities, il any, exist
for the procurement of parcels of land. The
cause Of the vast immigration into the United
States from Europe, aye, and even from Canada,
is that the public land system OF the United

Native Mass Meetings on the
CooIie Question

4 Kaumakapili Church was densely crowded last
Friday evening, with natives who had assembled
to discuss the important subject of the proposed
further importation of Chinese coolies or bonded
laborers. There was no installing the sentiment
Of the meeting on this question for nearly every
speaker denounced the system,J and strongly OPP
posed bringing any more coolies here, though
they favored bringing South Sea Islanders.
A report of the proceedings will be found in
another column, which will be read with interest
as an exhibition of the manner in which natives
conduct a public meeting. The constitution
grants the privilege to all to assemble when and
where they like and discuss all questions affecting
the public interests. In this case, we think the
majority, which was intensely opposed to coolies,
was rather unfair in not allowing free debate.
Every speaker who undertook to say anything in
behalf of the coolie. was squelched in the most
summary manner, and not permitted to express
his opinions. This was not right.
A second native meeting was holden on Tuesday
evening Mt the same place, at which we were sorry
to see an attempt on the part of half a dozen to
create n disturbance and dissension. 1t looked
very much as if they had been encouraged to this
course by the Minister of Finance, around whom
they gathered, and appeared to look to him for
advice and sympathy. The officers and natives,
however, treated the disorganizers with extraordi-
nary leniency, and soon quiet was restored, and
the proceedings became harmonious, but very
strongly opposed to the Chinese.

Convincing Pnoor.-At the citizens meeting on
Thursday evening last, when the vote was TAKEN ."

the further introduction Of Chinese coolies, notwith-
standing the large majority of hands raised IN i"Vor
If IL. and the few opposed, some one demanded q

10 rise. when several hundred men sprang to their feet
in favor Of its adoption, while a small bakers dozen
amused it's passage. Then followed one OF those
scenes of shouting and cheering as left no doubt
what the sense of the meeting was ON the coolie
question. "
r,y- AT the bogus meeting on Thursday even
ing Mt the Armory, after the resolutions had been
comfortably passed by the fifteen foreigners anu
sixteen native soldiers who constituted tue assem-
blaee of citizens, a motion was made to discharge
the Committee, when one gentleman. promp'eu
probably by his familiarity with the regular course
of parliamentary proceedings, innocently asked
for the minority report of the Committee. Never
mind that. now" was the reply from a Ministerial
source, "we1l adjourn, and then go up to kauma-
kapili to hear that" And so they did.
E- We learn from Capt. Beck of the schooner
.afaska, which arrived yesterday from Portland, that
the owners of the George s. Wright declined to
send their steamer here on the subsidy OF 1888 per
month, offered by the Government. For the present
she has been s'bought off, but if the sum of $1,OOO
uer month is guaranteed by this Government, ar
raugements can be made to put her on as a coaster
without delay. -
N- The display of new and choice goods
in some of our fancy stores is tempting to the
purses of the ladies. The improvements made in
the windows and the taste in arranging the fine
stocks displayed shows that our storekeepers are
not behind other and older cities. The show win
dow of Z" No. 10" in Fort street. for instance, is a
study for an artist, and contains what would stock
an ordinary retail store.
WHALING IN THE GULF OF GEoRGIA.-By the
.Alaska we learn that the steamer Emma fitted out
from Victoria to take humpback oil in the Gulf Of
Georgia, has been very successful the past season,
owing to the use of a whaling gun, said to be Roy's
gun. We trust that it may prove true, not only for
the sake of the owners of the steamer, but for the
sake of the inventor of the gun, who is now in this
city. -

Mexico.

Since the close of the French war, little has
been heard from Mexico except n constant repeti-
ton Of instructions in the various departments.
From late reports, however, it would appear that
she is gradually improving and that the Govern
ment is gaining strength and ability to suppress
the armed disturbances which have so long made
her a disgrace to the civilized world.
The telegraph informs us that the Mexican
Congress assembled on the 10th of September, the
Anniversary of Mexican Independence. Presi-
dent Juarez delivered the opening speech, con-
graduating the members that they could now
celebrate the Anniversary of Independence, fog
the first time since 1859, with peace prevailing
throughout the Republic. The laws were obeyed,
aId the Government was now strong enough to
suppress rebellion and disorder.
According to the census taken the present year,
the population of Mexico has been ascertained to
lie 1867 900. which is an increase Of about one
million over the last previous census.
The Secretary of the Treasury, Senior Romero,
who was formerly Minister at Washington, in his
report to Congress, gives the following as the
state Of the national finances for the year ending
June Both, 1869. The total receipts were Si31,-
$50 900 expenditures, $3.50 600 900. Two mil
lions have Been applied to the payment of the
public debt, the consolidation of which he advo-
Gates.
On the whole, the late accounts show a decided
improvement in the affairs of this heretofore
wretchedly -governed Republic. But the officers
now at its head are men who have had much ex-
periencc, and appear to be determined that their
country shall exhibit progress and improvement.
We trust they may succeed in their efforts.

The Canadian Dominion.

We find in the American papers frequent ref
erence to meetings held in Canada, to discuss the
subject of securing entire independence of the
mother country, and also annexation to the
United States. The former subject will doubtless
meet the approval of the English people and gov
eminent, whose policy is now tending to encour-
age the independence of her principal colonies,
including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, &c.
A large and spirited meeting was held in
Quebec in September to discuss the question of
annexation to the United States. Several promi-
nent citizens took part in the proceedings, and
the following resolution was adopted
First. for many years past We have seen with deep
regret our real estate sink rapidly and our sbin
building interest disappear perhaps forever our
magnificent water courses, the greatest in aggregate
of any single locsarty on this continent, rush wildly
past our doors, and the youthful flower of our popu.
lation flying to the United States in countless thou
sands from the desolation which seems to have
marked our cities as its OWN Second, differences
existing between the depressed condition of this do
minion and the ever increasing prosperity of our
neighboring republic has compelled us to the conclu-
SION that the difference has its rise not in the imagip-
airy boundary line, but in the working Of the consti-
tutons Of the two countries. Third, il is therefore
the deliberate opinion Of this meeting that steps
should be taken n once towards addressing the
imperial authorities through His Excellency, the
Governor General, q respectful petition, praying to
be informed whether . nearly unanimous desire ON
the part Of the inhabitants Of the Dominion for its
incorporation with the territory Of the United States
would not receive from the British people the same
gracious reception as WAS accorded not many years
ago TO a like request from the Inhabitants Of the
Ionian Islands for union with the kingdom of Greece.
The report says that the crowd present was or
derby in its conduct, and except from a few, no
marks Of disapprobation were evinced. The res
olution was adopted with singular unanimity,
and the meeting broke up with three cheers for
annexation and three more for the officers presid-
ing at it.
