NOTES OF THE WEEK.
The NEBRASKA, from Australia, is about due.
The CITY OF MELBOURNE sailed for Sydney via
Fiji at II O'Clock last night.
Mission C~HILDREN's SocIETY.-A meeting of the
Society viii be held this evening at the residence of
Mr.. Beckwith. -
LONG PAssAGE-Contrary to expectations, the
Queen Emma had a long passage Over-no less than
20 days. -
THASKs-Ours are due and hereby rendered to
the gentlemanly pursers of both the Wonga WOnga
and City Of .nel6ourne, steamers, for favors of
memoranda and late papers.
BASE BALL-We hear there win be a match game,
this afternoon, on the grounds makai of the prison,
between the Mechanics Base Ball Club and the
members of the Kings Band.
SHORT WE1GHrs.-We hear that in some shipments
recently from New Zealand, short weight is COM
planned of. A lot of potatoes is instanced, which was
short no less than 1000 pounds in 10000. Our New
Zealand friends should look to this.
MAsoNIC-The Regular Monthly meeting of Ha-
waiian Lodge, No. p, F. & A. NJ, will be held at
their rooms, Makee's building, on Monday evening
next, at u O'Clock.
THE MosEs TAYLOR had not arrived over when the
steamer left on the 20th-eleven days out but not
fairly due. The .9jar, of the same line, was ready
for sea, and would sail for Honolulu on Thursday the
22d, bringing the English mail, which was to arrive
in San Francisco on the Dist. She may be looked for
tomorrow. -
A SAILING PARTY.-We understand that the boats
of the Honolulu Yacht Club will proceed to Puuloa,
on the 4th, taking n picnic party. 1t is to be very
properly a 81 temperance party and that fact ought
to comfort those who dread accidents on the water.
There will of course be the usual competition in sail
ing on the return, with a " fair start"
A RETURNING LEPER.-The rumor was current on
Wednesday morning that a party of lepers had ar
rived in town from Molokai in boats. On inquiry
we found that one leper, a former captain in the
Hawaiian forces, after obtaining permission to visit
Honolulu to transact some private business, had
hired a boat and crew to bring him hither, and that
he will soon return. -
FOURTH OF JULY.-We understand that the Minis
fer Resident of the United States will receive calls
from the Ministers and officers of the Diplomatic and
Consular Corps, and resident American citizens,
between II noon and 2 P. NJ. At 3 P. NJ. the child
rem of the Bethel and Fort Street Sabbath Schools
will call upon the Minister. A collation. and band of
music will be provided for the occasion.
A SUGGEsTIoN.-It is known that the late Mr.. II.
Pease, (whose decease is announced in another
column) was the owner f. of a large and valuable col
lection of rare books, and also a cabinet of curiosites.
Now it would be a matter for regret that the valuable
books composing this library should either be scat
tered or allowed to be taken out of the country, and
we therefore suggest that the whole, including the
cabinet, be purchased by the government, and the
purchase money invested for the benefit of the
bereaved family. -
THE CARANDINIs.-These ever popular and talented
a~rtistes came down on the City of Melbourne, en-
route for Australia, having completed a professional
tour in California Their short stay here precluded
their giving more than one of their enhancing con-
certs, to which our citizens have listened 80 often
during their former visit. The Royal Hawaiian
Theatre was crowded last night, and the sweet
singers were greeted with rapturous applause by
their admirers, who constituted on this occasion the
entire audience, and were encored to the full limit OF
reason. They sailed in the steamer last night.
THE CONCERT AT KANEoHE on Saturday last, for
the benefit of the church building fund. was well at
tended, and we hear the net receipts were about
Sis. The singing was excellent, and is highly
spoken of by good judges who were present. The
harmony in more senses than one, was sadly dis
turbed by a party of young reprobates from Homo.
lulu who, well supplied with liquor, created a distur.
bance which ended in a fight, and compelled the con.
cert to be abandoned before the programme was con.
cluded. 1t is satisfactory to know that the partie:
concerned in the disgraceful affair were, on Monday,
arrested and fined for the onense.
A Yesterday morning the first ques-
ton asked when one met an acquaintance was
"Have you seen it? have you read it?" WHAT
" Why the San Francisco Call was the reply, EN-.
phasized with a hearty laugh. Of course, everybody
wanted to laugh too, and the Call was extensively
called for. 1t was all about a letter purporting to be
from Honolulu, in the number for June 18th, made
up principally of such small talk as may be hearG
any day on the streets of this city, very persona
and very funny, especially in regard to the move
ments of some prominent individuals. 1t may b
wicked to laugh at such absurd carIcatures of SOM
phosas of Hn~~l~Iu iir0, 49, - .h:- ----- Al
temptation to sin q little in that line is irresistible
RENNo & CLINT's PANoRAMA.-On Thursday even
ing the Fl ct exhibition of this panorama was giveI
at Buffum's hall, having recently arrived from
Australia. As usual here on first presentations, tn
audience was not large, but it was appreciatlve
The scenes in thu late Franco-Prussian war, are ex
tremely well painted, and we could have wishes
there were more of them. The artist has been pecu
liarly successful in hitting of the physique of tn
two natfons-one does not require to be told whic
are the French and which the Germans. The view
in Australia, although representing scenes unfami
liar to our eyes, were beautiful specimens OF landscap
painting. What a magnificent place for a fua
would be the g Fern-Tree Gully y The lecture &C
companying the pictures was interesting, but "
beg to recommend to Mr.. Buckleton (Who, however
is quite new in the business) that he give more fore
to his voice and animation to his manner OF delivery
