By official announcement from the Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, we learn that c. S. Barlow, Esq,
has been g designated , to perform the duties OF
Chilean Consul, (Which position became vacant
by the death of the late d. G. Waterman) until
the pleasure OF the Chilean Government shall be
made known. The appointment of Mr.. Barlow
to this position is of itself unexceptionable per-
sonally but it is asked, and it would seem quite
pertinently, is it the province of a Minister of
one G-avarnment to annoint. or even &c desiGnate2
binary course of events, such Consuls would have
diplomatic correspondence with the Minister, and
the result might be slightly entangling. The
Consul might be compelled to seriously disagree
with the Minister. But to prevent a casus 6eM,
we suppose that the same power which g desig-
mated" could un-designate, as well. If the
French, English, or American Consulates at this
port were vacant, would His Foreign Excellency
proceed to +" designate - some one to fill them?
Possibly not.

ST. SIMON AND ST. JUDE.-To-day, October 2Sth,
is marked in memory of these two apostles, in the
calendar. In the old times of England, wet weather
was generally expected on this day. A waiting
woman in an old play says of something sure to be
found out, s'Tis as certain as that it will rain on
and Jude's day. Wednesday, November
LIST, Ill Saints. In this festival the church honors
all the Saints not otherwise commemorated, the
reason being given, g because we cannot particularly
commemorate every one of these Saints in whom
Gods graces have been eminent, for that would be
too heavy a burden ; and because, in those particular
feasts which we do celebrate, we may justly be
tbonobt TO have omitted some of our duty through
infrmity or negligence /; therefore Holy Church ap-
points this day in commemoration of the Saints in
general The festival was instituted in 61O, when
the Pantheon at Rome was consecrated as q Christian
Church.

Somewhat less than a year ago, Clast Deem
ber) the official subsidized organ of this Govern
ment, in an editorial article on 81 Our Prospects, -
proved, apparently to its own satisfaction, that
the time had already gone by " when the almost
entire withdrawal of the whaling feet from our
ports would have been a most serious, not to say,
disastrous event to this country" Is the organ
prepared to say, to-day, now that by the force of
most untoward events, the feet has been 4" with
drawn" that it is not likely to prove ga most
serious event - to Honolulu, if not to the country
at large? But we were placidly told by the
organ at that time, that agriculture had placed
the country 9 in a position to take care of itself,
without the patronage of foreign shipping ~
And this fact, concluded the Minister, with a
Enthusiastically jolly and sapient flourish,
" Enables US to say to the whalers, cheerfuIIy,
goodbye, we are sorry you are going, but il
you must go, we are PROUD to state, that we
are able to do without you" A sort of sans
culOne pride, probably, and one that is far
from being appreciated or shared in by our
community at large. There is no species OF
human folly more contemplate than the
display of pride in the parrenu, but most
intOlerably offensive does it become when Haunted

debted for his rise. The Mark Tapley of the
Gazette, in his painful attempts to be jolly while
every one else fails to see the joke, perpetrates
the following:
This is hardly the moment to speculate on the bearings OF
the annihil .ton Of the North Pacific whaling fleet on our COM
merciaI prospects; we are not yet "%Jammed" between the ice
and the shore-we have plenty of sea-roou-we can anchor
near or stay. Let us for the present reserve oar sympathies
and our endeavors to help along those who are more directly
affected by this great disaster.
Just precisely what is meant in this extract, is
perhaps an open question, but it is generally
received as it reads-that the Gazette thinks that
we being in comfortable and safe circumstances
ourselves, for the present should not endeavor
to help along or waste our sympathies on those
who have suffered most. If we have apprehended
and explained its meaning, we will excuse its
apologies. But, aside from the organ, we are
happy to know that the sympathies of the entire
community are with our whaling friends in their
heavy losses. and that substantial results have
come from endeavors to help them along.
There is no doubt as to the fact that the Min
isterial ring are very comfortable and firmly seat
ed,-so firmly that little short of an earthquake
would be required to unseat them,-and can aE
ford to joke over the mishaps of less fortunate if
more deserving people. But it is barely possible
that they may naunt the red flag in the face of
the bull once too often.

SATURDAY. OCTOBER 2
The Public Misfortune.

The absorbing topic Of conversation IN almost
all circles throughout the community during the
past week, has been the news, received on
Monday, of the destruction of the North Pacific
Whaling Fleet. And well may Honolulu pause
and consider what will be the probable results to
her own prospects from this sudden and unlocked
for blow. There is not a single branch OF indus
try in the Islands, not a man, woman or child,
that will not, either Immediately or remotely,
feel the effects, in the decreased circulation of
money through its numerous wonted channels.
The situation is much worse, financially, than as
though 5000, 600 in coin had been sent out OF
the country at one time to pay for goods, mas
much as we have the goods on our hands to be
paid for, but shall not receive, from this source,
the expected money wherewith to pay. We
mention the amount of $500 900, because a fair
estimate would place that figure as the probable
amount of money that would have been lett here
| this fall but for the destruction of the fleet. 10
some branches of business in this city, the result
will be disastrous in the extreme, and the outlook
for the next three months is anything but encour-
aging. Let no one fatter himself that he will
not suffer with his neighbours misfortunes. We
are like a house built Of cards-remove one, and
the others tumble.
The actual loss of property by this Arctic dis
aster is variously estimated at from two millions
to two and a half, and the latter is perhaps
nearest the truth. This will fall mostly on New
Bedford, although insurance Offices in New York
will doubtless lose heavily. Coming so quickly
upon the great Chicago fire, the effect may be
utter ruin to some. While the total abandon
ment of SO much valuable property, and the
breaking up of large and promising enterprises,
was a very grave undertaking, yet the deliberate
and well-weighed conclusions of over thirty
experienced ship-masters proved its necessity.
But the loss falls most severely and Immediately
upon the crews, the officers and men, who to the
number of over a thousand, are thus made home
less-for his ship is the seaman's homeland
their fair prospects of reward for all their toll anc
privation thus rudely blasted. Landed pennilesi
in this small community, where there are little Oh
no means of employment to which they cal
devote themselves for a livelihood, the Consulate
of their country must provide for their main
tenance and the means of returning to TIT
Continent. Between three and four hundred

not surprising, for the native is always at hom'
among his own countrymen. Some thirty foreigI
seamen belonging to one of the abandoned Ha
waiian vessels, were temporarily provided for a
