SATURDAY, JULY %.
NOTES OF THE WEEK..

is in the matter of Clip All Cham, alias John Carpen-
ter alias All Sun, who alleges that he is Illegally
detained IN custody by the Marshal of the Hawaiian
Islands, for no criminal matter, but on civil process.
On filing the application, a rule was made by the
Justice to show cause why a writ of habeas corpus
should not issue. The matter came up for a hearing
on Thursday last. Messrs. w. C.. Jones and IL.
Thompson appeared for the applicant, and Messrs.
r. H. Stanley and C. C. Harris for defendants. The
argument turned mainly on the constitutional ques-
ton, and was confined, on the part of defendants
counsel, entirely to C. C. Harris, Esquire. The court
decided to issue the writ and make it returnable on
Saturday next, when the whole matter viii probably
come up, and we shall be enabled in our next issue
to give a full report of the case.
Presentation E. II. Allen and Jas. W. Austin,
Esq, with their families, were in Boston July i in
tending to leave for San Francisco, so as to connect
with the September steamer for this port, arriving
here on the Goth.
Rev. Titus Coan and wife were in Detroit June
%, in excellent health, though the thermometer stood
at 1O7 degrees in the shade-rather warmer than we
have it here.
Lady Franklin and her niece were in San Fran
cisco on the LIST of July, on their way home. 1t was
reported that they intended to revisit Honolulu and
Sydney but we presume they have given up that
plan. Lady F.. had obtained no tidings of her long-lost
husband, which was the object of her visit to the
Pacific. -
AN UNLUCKY VOYAGE-The British ship John L.
Dimmock loaded oil at this port last fall and sailed
in December for New Bedford. In the Atlantic she
sprung a leak and put into st. Thomas, where her
Captain loaded a bark with oil and despatched her to
New Bedford. Finding the leak still continued, he
loaded another vessel and sent her off. The UNDER
writer's in New York, in the mean time had sent an
agent, Capt. Seabury, to st. Thomas, with a steam
pump to put on board the Dimmock to enable her to
proceed without making repairs. She did go, arriving
at New Bedford June oath, with the balance of her
cargo, the pump having worked well and kept the
ship free, though she leaked 20 inches per hour when
she arrived at ST. Thomas.

u Under date of June 30th, "Perley,'' its
Washington correspondent, telegraphs to the Boston
Journal that q delegation of merchants from New
Bedford was in Washington, endeavoring to secure the
removal of Thos. Adamson Jr., of Pennsylvania, U.
S. Consul at Honolulu. He adds, g Mr.. Adamson
was for some years Consul at Pernambuco, and he
was transferred to Honolulu, to reform abuses in the
consular Office there. 1t appears, however, that he
performs his consular duties with too much exactness
to satisfy those with whom he has official relations

rived here. The Captain reported that when three days out
from New York boy named Harry Williams fell overheard

two since, when one of them set the machine in mo-
ton. and the sister, a girl of about seven years OF
age, getting the fore finger of her right hand between
the blades of the cutter, the tip end was cut off as
cleanly as if by a pair of scissors.

two ladies, while turning the corner of Fort and Ku-
Eui Straefs the horsa OoftinO Scarpd from soma
suddenly SHE'D, and kicking violently, upset the bug
gy. Mr.. Lemon was rather seriously injured, his
collar bone being broken, while the ladies were for
tunate in escaping with only o few scratches, a big
scare, and a heavy shock.
~REMovAL.-Messrs. Grunwald & Schultz have
opened their new store, on the corner of Fort and
Hotel streets, where is d displayed the richest assert
ment of fancy goods to be found in the city. Croak-
ers thought they were paying dearly for the lease,
when they purchased it at auction but they evil
IDENTIFY knew what they were about in securing
the best retail stand in Honolulu.
T1rLED.-Rev. Cyrus I. Mills, formerly President
of Punahou College, and now of Benicia Seminary,
California, has received from Williams College the
degree of Doctor of Divinity. Without intending any
disrespect to the Reverend Doctor. we think that Mrs.
Mills, the efficient head of the young ladies Seminary
in Benicia, is quite as deserving of the honor.
PERsoNAL-Among the arrivals of note by the
steamer -Hjar, from San Francisco, were Lieutenant
Henry G.. Cochrane, of the U. s. Marine Corps, who
comes to join the sloop-of-war jamestown, on her ar
rival from the Caroline Islands, and Mrs. H. A. Pierce.
of Boston, wife of the Hon. Fl. A. Pierce, United
States Minister Resident.

proprietor of the foundry in this city, but now living
in Kona, Hawaii, was thrown from his horse some
days since, while riding in Kons, striking on a wall.
His head, neck and shoulders were severely bruised.
His escape from death under the circumstances was
marvellous. -

Waikele, Eva, and Honolulu, native man was found
dead on the ground. having apparently alighted from
his horse. and fallen forward in q fit. He was known
