In MEMoRIAM-On the receipt by the mail on
Wednesday of intelligence of the death OF Admiral
Farragut of the U. S. Navy, the flags at the Ameri-
can Legation and the Consulate were displayed at
balf-mast. as were those of the American shipping
in port, including the two U. s. war vessels. AT IL
noon, the U. S. sloop-of-war jamestown fired seven
teen minute guns. DAVID GLAsCOE FARRAGUT, who
sank into his last sleep at Portsmouth, N. H., on the
| 14th of August last, was the first and only United
States naval officer who attained the full rank OF
Admiral grade formerly unknown, but created as
an acknowledgment of Farragut's brilliant services
in the cause of the Union in the capture OF New
| Orleans. the opening of the Mississippi, and the
fight in Mobile Bay. In the latter engagement he
displayed his characteristics as a MAYA, GoT n iSei1o n = y

Of twelve he was attached to the frigate Essen, when that
vessel succumbed to two British fhgates in the neutral harooI
his first and only wound. His visit TO the principal ports OF
Enrope in 1857. was a series of ovations, and he was every
where welcomed and honored as the greatest naval commander
of recent times. Though by birth and connections ne was
Southern, he was from the first a staunch Union man.
LONG PAssAGEs.-The bark Ethan AHen, which
left this port July q, had not arrived at San Fran
cisco up to the 3Oth of August-33 days out. 1t
will be remembered that she was spoken by the
jamestown, eight days out, and only 400 miles from
Honolulu. having been becalmed. At the same rate,
she would require forty days to reach San Francisco.
The bark comet sailed hence August 9, and was twenty
one days out on the Both of August. The steamer will proba-
- report both vessels as having arrived over. The hate
storms from the north, which have occurred east Of us during
pairing, have probably been followed by Gains extending over
the routes usually taken by vessels bound from this port to
THE KANEoHE CHURcH.-On Saturday evening
last, according to previous notice, there was given a
concert of vocal music at the Kaneohe church, Koo-
lauloa, the proceeds of which amounting to $40
went to the expense of repairs on the building. The
church, which is said to be a very fourshing one, is
under the pastoral charge of the Rev. j. Manuel.
The concert was pronounced to be a success in a
musical point of view, by visitors from the city. 1t
is only two hours ride from Honolulu to Kaneohe,
and we hear that another concert will be given be-
fore long. -
