their families and friends would be anxious
for their safety. The coasters which were
so unfortunate as to be at sea during the
gale, (Which lasted until Saturday, suffered
considerably. The Mci, bound for Kahnlui,
being at the time in the Molokai channel,
had her jib split, and was obliged to return
TO port; the hate Lee. on the passage from
HiIo. lost her jibboom; the Nettie Merrill, on
the passage from Lahaina, sprung her main
mast, (about half way up from the deck to
the top) so badly that ii will have to be re-
placed by new one; the schooner Fury
Queen, from Hanalei, after nearly reaching
the mouth of the harbor on Friday, had her
jib and mainsail split, and was Obliged to
seek shelter under the lee end of the island.
She arrived in port on Saturday. We hear
of one or two cottages having been blown
down in town. The trees suffered consid-
erably, and in some instances flower gardens
and shrubery were damaged to some extent

HONOLULU. DEC. 20. 1859.

Since our last issue, we note the arrivals Of
the Ethan Allen. Comet and idaho from San
Francisco, all bringing more or less mail mat
ter the latest dates from San Francisco are Of
the 18th inst.
The above vessels bring full cargoes of mer-
cbandise, and will for time. leave our mar
ket somewhat overstocksd, especially as the
whsiers are mostly provided for, and trade
for the coming few months viii be rather slack.
Our latest dates from San Francisco report
the market for Island sugars dull, except for
the best grades, which were in some demand.
at prices ranging from liz to LA for choice
nolasses unsaleable at any price. Pulu. GALES
at Sc; Kona coffee, sales of some round lots
Of superior old Kona Mt Isle; small parcels
Of inferior green at II to l71c.
We have had unusually stormy weather for
the past three or four weeks; our coastiag
feet have been compelled to lay up the great
err part Of the time, and although the planta-
tons are nearly all at work grinding, but lit
tie Of the new crop has come forward.
The Idaho, Ethan Allen and Comet. will all
take full cargoes for San Francisco. The Cam
bridge will load for Portland, and the Byzan-
tiun Tor Victoria.
From our San Francisco correspondent, we
receive the following, under date af the 18th
instant The bark Comet met with IN
usual despatch. having arrived on the Sth inst.
discharged and took in freight. and sailed
agtin the 18th, lying in port only three
days. She carried cargo valued at Sll .209.
and $4,000 in treasure. She ought to arrive
at your port with the steamer. Our markets
show no animation in any department of trade.
The stock of Hawaiian sugars. however, are
being gradually reduced from first hands, at
prices ranging from a he. Rice continues
drug in the market. Small sales Of pull
have taken place at &c. Kons coffee is quota
bic at lie Gold continues to fall. the rate
this morning being 1913, while greenbaeks are
selling here at s24. This fall in the rate of
gold has enhanced the value of various des-
criptions of goods, and should it continue,
business must be affected disastrously all over
the country.
The case of the United States VS.. 1891
bags of sugar, has been decided in the U. s.
District Court adversely to the defendants. 1t
is affirmed that the case will be appealed to a
higher Court and it is also said " that the ju-
risdction of Judge Hoffman will be called in
question, on the ground that he was appointed
under the title of Judge of the United States
District Court for the Northern District of
California; and that legally. no such Court
now exists" 1t is opinion THAT cock
won't fight" The fact Of blending the North
err and Southern Districts into one, and CEN
tering the Jurisdiction in the Northern Dis
trict, does not make the presiding Judge any
the less Judge of the Northern District. 1t
only maintains his former Jurisdiction, with
the addition Of the Southern District, but de-
prives him of no part of his Jurisdiction it
only increases his sphere Of action.-COm.
