New Avenues of Trade.

This port is most admirably located to take
advantage of the markets in this ocean, which
may be opened by the steam lines established or
projected. Two thousand miles to the eastward
is San Francisco, within ten days steaming; to
the southwark is New Zealand, four thousand
miles distant and within fourteen days ~steaming,
with the Australian Continent, a few hundred
miles farther on while to westward, four thou
sand miles, is Japan, within twelve days, when
ever the steamers touch here and connect our
port with that Empire. These countries are all
consumers of tropical productions, especially
sugar, molasses, rice and coffee.
The steamer which sailed on Tuesday for Aus
traiia took about two hundred and twenty tons of
our island produce, and, judging from the quota
tions given in our commercial columns, the ship
ments thither will pay better than those made
of late to San Francisco. The Colonial tariff
printed also will show low duties, while the
charges for doing business in any of the Austria
liam ports are said to be very much less than in
any Of the Pacific coast ports. All these must
operate in our favor, and much more SO, if a
Reciprocity Treaty between this Government and
the Colonial Governments is made, as has been
proposed. Whether the pending treaty with the
United States is ratified or not, the ratification of
such treaties with the Colonies is no unlikely
thing. If made, it will draw thither a portion
of our surplus tropical products, now seeking a
paying market.
The Colonies can supply us with n fair share
of the imports wanted us low as Boston or New
York, and probably much cheaper than San Fran
cisco. Trade will always seek the best and
cheapest sources of supply. If then our export
trade is once diverted to the Colonies, it requires
no prophet to foresec that the bulk of our sup
plies will come from that quarter also.
The Australian steamers take freight at ten
dollars a ton, which, considering the distance,
flour and five thousand miles,) is cheaper than
to San Francisco, where it is six dollars a ton for
two thousand miles. These rates are both low.
but without very moderate charges our steamers
could not obtain 'cargoes, as sugar and molasses
can never afford to pay high frcights. California
merchants will thus see that we have an avaiIa-
bic outlet for our chief staple products, opened
in another quarter, through which a considerable
traffic will go. Already we have shipped thither
in the two pioneer steamers over 400 900 pounds
of sugar, and as soon as larger boats are put
on, an increased trade will follow.
Advices from Japan, received by the last
steamer, show that our produce is also in de-
mand in that country, and it now only requires
regular packets or steamers to open a paying
trade between Japan and Hawaii. Ii will not be
long before these will find it for their interest to
call here and secure the produce which will be
offering for shipment thither.

The chinese CooIIe Trade.

1t may not be generally known that Congress
has before it a new and stringent law to suppress
the coolie trade, SO far as importations into the
United States and in American vessels are con-
cerned. Its provisions are briefly summed up in
the following paragraph:
THAT contracts made in a foreign country, whereby emf
grants shall pledge their labor, TO be specifically performed
upon and AFTER their arrival in the United States, shall not be
business of importing or procuring immigrants TO this country,
punishable, for each ofense, by a fine of $500 10 $4,000, or by
imprisonment Of six months to two years, or.by both, a! dis
vessel knowingly transporting hither any immigrant procured
or contracted for as above, shall be guilty Of misdemeanor,
punishable by fine of not more than $4,000 for each offense
that it shall be unlawful to contract for the service of mmi-
grants arriving here with any person but the immigrant HIM
self, and no contract made with an immigrant within six
months of his arrival, whereby his labor is pledged for more
than a year, shall be vaiid-penahies 500 to $500 for each
offense that the Secretary of the Treasury shall cause dill
Immigrants fully posted as TO the laws on the subject, and
when necessary shall cause proceedings TO be instituted before
this Act shall be so construed as to prevent the employment
by contract, for not more than one year, of persons to work in
any mechanical or manufacturing business carried on by the
person so employing such labor"
This law is intended to be of general applica-
ton, but will operate chiefly against the Chinese
coolie trade. 1t was before the House of Repre-
sentatives about April 18th, but had not passed
at the latest date, though the next mail may
report it as passed. England and the United
ClttCS HdfIHS illus Edu / d pcndI OueIIse 10
engage in the coolie trade, which is now con-
sidered as synonymous with the slave trade, there
can be no doubt that other nations will be forced
to regard it SO and to prohibit it, we among the
rest. There need be no fear about procuring all
the Chinese laborers wanted, for no prohibition
has been or will be made against the migration
of free la6OrerS, to make such engagements as
they choose on arrival in any foreign country.
With this freedom, our plantations can always
obtain all the laborers wanted, but it must be
done in a way which tie enlightened sentiment
Of the world will endorse.
Those who wish to see how the cooiie traffic is
viewed in the United States and England, are re-
ferred to a short article on the second page of
Harper's Weekly for April 23d. Our laws and
practice in this matter must conform to the scnti-
ment and practice established in those countries,
of we expect to enjoy their favor and good will.

R Mr.. Aheong, who has been employed for a
year or two past as colporteur among the Chinese,
took passage yesterday in the SumatrG, with his
family, for Hongkong. He ranks in China above the
common people, his father belonging to the literati or
professional class. He was stolen or taken off by foul
means of some kind, and sold as a coolie. He hopes
some day to return to these Islands and settle. But
wherever he lives, we doubt not his influence will be
in support of christianity.

KEEP CooL.-It is a treat, in such warm weather.
as prevails now, TO be able to indulge in ice creams
and iced drinks. The former can be obtained at the
Criterion Coffee Saloon, opposite the Court House, and
the latter at Hollister s. Hyland's, in Nuuanu street.
Both are healthy luxuries, if moderately INDUCED in.

FAST TRAvELING.-Mr. Henry Nathan informs us
that he made the trip from Liverpool to San Fran
cisco in fourteen days and five hours, as follows
From Liverpool to New York;. 8 days 2 hours.
From New York to San Francisco. q days 3 hours.
The steamer from Liverpool was the City Of Brussels,
and from New York he took passage in the Pullman
express train. As soon as fast steamers are plying
between San Francisco and this port, the through
time from Liverpool to Honolulu will be reduced to
y or % days. Quite a contrast this to the time oc-
cupied even two years ago, when it took % days
from San Francisco to New York.

= NAvAL-The United States steamer Sagina0,
Captain Sicard, arrived on Wednesday,, eleven days
from Midway Island, where she has been engaged for
two months past in assisting the contractors who are
engaged in removing the distractions in the channel.
The work is progressing favorably and can be done {;
but it will require from two to five years, instead of
six months as was anticipated and from five hun
dred thousand to one million of dollars, instead of
the fifty thousand dollars appropriated. The officers
of the Segtna,0 hoped to find the .4jGr here to send
important dispatches to Washington, but the sailing
of that vessel before her advertised time, disappoints
them as well as many others. The SdginGtU will
return to Midway Island in about ten days.
