Quick WoRK.-The bark Comet, Of the Regular
Dispatch Line, arrived of this port on Tuesday night,
the 9th inst, after a passage Of sixteen days and nine
hours from san Francisco. The trip down was not
a remarkable one in point Of time, but the round
trip from this port TO San Francisco and back again
was better than the average for the past year. The
bark left this port five days in advance of the Loho
and returns before her. The passage TO san Fran
cisco was made in fifteen days, and meeting with
quick despatch she is enabled TO bring back goods
ordered by her. While in san Francisco the bark
was overhauled by the agents of the underwriters
and her rate fixed at \ = for one year. The following
is copied from the Bulletin of the 10th ult
1.-The bark Comet, of the Honolulu Regular Dcs-
Da+ab inc waS yaSrariay fbpr,uUhly surveyed by
Mr.. Ringot, agent of the French Neritas. Several
planks were stripped of on both sides, and found to
be as sound rs when put in. Her timbers, which
are set very thick, were also perfectly sound. The
Comet has seen good service during the ten years she
has been Il trader out of this port, but the late official
examination shows her to be in as good condition
now rs when she first arrived, and likely to see ten
years more service
IGPRovENENr.-The knobby geological formations
once so prominent i'll front of Leonard's cabinet
maker shop have been gently covered with an allu-
vial deposit. The ESplanade section of Fort street is
therefore much improved.
t- We are glad to learn that collections will be
taken up in the Bethel and Fort st. Churches, to-
morrow morning. to assist the Hawaiian Board of
Mission in its efforts for the Chinese of these Islands.
- BY q San Francisco paper We learn that the
whaling bark SEQ Breeze, Fisher which cleared
from here December 18th, had been spoken january
2lst, with three whales since leaving this port.
"THERE SHE BLows."-From Hilo we learn that
on the 81 instant, whales were seen off that port,
and that the Oiirer Crocfer lowered two boats and
gave chase, but without success.

pers, shipping memoranda and other favors in the
