The British steamer Monarch, having on
board the remains OF the late George Pea
body, 10 expected to arrive at Portland,
Maine, on the 26th Instant. The Monarch
Is escorted by the United States steamer
Plymouth. of1clRl Information from Capt.
McComb, Of the Plymouth, Is to the effect
that they have taken the southern passage
by way Of Madeira and Barba does.
Our Government officials, as well as mem E
bers OF the diplomatic corps, arc somewhat
concerned about an interesting ques ton OF
official etiquette, In relation to the reception
Of the remains. It will be recollected that
when the Monarch wAs about to sail, Mr..
Motley formally turned the remains over to
her commander, representing the British
Government. When the Monarch reaches
Portland, Minister Thornton will be there
10 receive the remains, and, as the repre-
sentative Of the British Government, to turn
them over To the United States authorities {.
The present programme lie that the Mayor
Of Portland shall receive them, aud the
question that has arisen 10 whether he ls
the proper oficlal.
The President has ordered naval vessels
to meet the remains at sea, but 1t Is ques-
tlon whether shat Is making enough Of the
matter, aud whether tho Secretary Of State,
or some other official Immediately repre-
sentlng the President, ought not to be de-
tailed 70 receive them from Mr.. Thornton.
This question will no doubt be settled by the
diplomats hero prior TO the 25th Inst.

RSGLIsH sALNoN.--The salmon. fishing
season In 1850 In England WOs not a very
favorable one, mainly on account Of the dry
weather and low water, 10 the Yorkshire
rivers more Ash were taken than 10 1868,
but the weight was less, falling from the
average Of lSX pounds In 1858 to 1917
pounds IN 1850. Toe reports for the Chester
Dee are unfavonble, some Of the stations
yielding Ouly two or three 1sh, and others
none at all during tho season, but In the
estuary fisheries the take was nearly equal
TO the average, which was estimated In 1867
at El5, 90. From the Severn, WE, Usk.
TRW, Tyne and other rivers, the returns 70,
port the fishing as indifferent, unsatisfactory,
and not up TO the average. Tho decrease
10 tho number Of dsh taken BY rod and line
Is attributed to the annual and weekly close
time now compelled by the salmon acts, and
TO the net catch which prevents the ish
from ascending the higher parts OF the
rivers,

The Kona Election.

The official organ makes light of the manner in
which the election in Kona was conducted. This
is perfectly in keeping with the tactics of that
fussy sheet. A Government officer circulates
what he must have known to be a base falsehood
concerning one of the candidates, and the organ
thereupon attempts to ridicule the defeated can
didate, the natural inference being that it ap-
proves and endorses all that the successful one
has done.
This matter of running petty Government
officers for the Legislature, and of other local
Government officers straining every nerve and re-
sorting to methods of questionable legality to
secure the election of their pet, is becoming
quite a serious affair. In Kona the member
elect is the Sheriff, and no one doubts the quality
of his politics, or the way in which, if he is
allowed to retain his seat, he will vote on all i'm
portant ministerial questions.
Heaven knows that the people have been robbed
of nearly all voice in the making of laws, so that
the appearance of their representatives in the
Legislative Hall is little else than a shallow farce.
But to see, after ali this, the machinery Of Gov
eminent prostituted to take away what little is
left, by securing the election of its own creatures,
and the official organ applauding all this, is
enough to stir the blood OF every man who dares
to act and think for himself.

route through the Polar basin, with the distances
TABLE OF COMPARATIVE DISTANCES.

The figures express not the result of one geographer's esti-
mate, but the mean of many. Allowance has been made, too
for the detour which all vessels at sea need to make.
By extending this estimate to include these ISL
ands, we find that the distance from Boston to
Honolulu by the present route is, in rough figures,
Is 600 miles by the proposed Polar route, 1000
miles "a difference IN favor of the latter of
5000 miles.
Should science demonstrate Capt. Bent's route,
there would be of days saved,-from New York
to San Francisco, 60 Liverpool to San Francisco,
IA; New York to Canton, 90; Liverpool to
~Shanghae, 100; New York to Hakodadi, 100;
Liverpool to Hakodadi, rs Boston to Honolulu,
SO. What an immense saving to the commerce
of the world!
Again-there can be no doubt but that the
open Polar Sea, being free from the ice in the
winter, and its waters teeming with the immense
quantities of minute animal life brought thither
by the Gulf and Kuro-Siwo streams, is the breed
ing place and f~avorite haunt of the great Polar
whale. 1t is well known that this animal cannot
live without breathing, and if. as some have sup
posed, the whole surface of the North, from the
Pole to Bhenng's Straits, and still farther south,
is one mass of solid ice in winter, the whale
could not exist. Once let our whalemen find the
way into this Polar Sea, they can winter there in
safety and comfort, and return south in the spring
or summer, well rewarded for their toll. And
we venture to predict that some of these hardy
and adventurous men will be the first to test the
practicabihty of the proposed plan of getting
into the sea, by Thermometer Sailing"
The " water-thermomcter, - which is proposed
to supplant, IL Polar waters, the magnetic needle,
is very simple in its construction, being nothing
more than the ordinary thermometer, set in a
copper cylinder. This is pierced with small holes
to admit the sea-water when it is cast, and has
an opening through which to examine the face of
the instrument after immersion.
To onclude Let no one be in haste to pro-
nounce the new theory as Utopian. In this age
of improvement and discovery, old ideas are be-
coming exploded, and all thinking men are in
favor of inquiring, with unprecedented minds, into
everything which may promise to benefit man
kind. We have by no means exhausted the sub
ject, and may refer to it in a future number.
