Tur cpr,r EASTERN CIRCus.-TheC Circus Troupe
opened their performance for the season on "eunes
day evening last. having voluntarily pos'poneu -
to that evening on account OF the citizens meeting
which was held on Tuesday. They had a very
full attendance, many reserving their tickets iof
the next performance, which took place the sue
ceeding evening. The performance passed Oh
quite creditably, the juvenile actors attracting
special neutrality-suspicious. and acrobahc ieats
of wonderful daring and agility being performed
by children 1.-THE sons and daughters of Mr.. Lee.)
of six or eight years of age. The tightrope was
danced very creditably by Miss Lee. a very young
girl. Not the least interesting or comical feature.
was the entertainment given by the clown upon his
stone and wooden pianos, which cOnvulsed the
house with laughter. The "Grecian-bend" was
also productive of much merriment. With alittle
more variety Gas we are promised,) a full house
may be guaranteed for some time to come, as the
whalers will now arriving in frequent succession.
We understand that the performance for children
will not be given till merit Saturday afternoon.
How MAN lin regard to the number present at
the Citizens meeting held at Kaumakapili, the
Gazette, has its usual fling. 1t admits that the
building will seat one thousand persons, but says
that it was about one quarter FULL AT the first
meeting the building was well filled. and persons
in whom we have confidence have stated to US that
at least two hundred and fifty foreigners were pres
ent, the rest being natives, and this is the number
which the Gazette says was in the building altogether.
The second meeting was equally well attended by
foreigners, the natives not being present in quite 30
strong force. -
AN OVERLAND JouRNEY.--The interesting story
which we commence publishing on our first page,
was written by a young lady who left Honolulu last
spring. 1t is a most vivid, minute and graphic de-
~scription of the varied scenery on this new route, and
one cannot read it without gathering more Informal
ton than can be found in any other account that we
have seen. The remainder of the trip will be given
next week. -
The whaleships will probably commence ar
irving freely after this date, as they are over due,
and if the trade winds blow fresh, a fleet o. twenty
five or thirty will be in to report next week. Some
eight or ten are expected to visit Hilo first, but the
bulk of the ships will come in here. Two are out
side as w go to press.
% We are indebted to Mr.. Waterman for late
japanese papers ; also to Capt. Bartlett of the Per
non for a file of Port Townsend papers. We observe
that the steamer Geo. s. Wright had commenced
running again between Portland and the Sound.
FIRE ALARM.-The fire alarm at twenty minutes
Of ten yesterday forenoon was caused by the burning
of a grass house on Emma street. The Fire Depart
ment were out infull force and very promptly.
MAsoNIc.-The regular monthly meeting of Ha-
waiian Lodge No. 81, F. & A.. NJ, will be held at their
