FROM TIRE GuANo ISLANDS. By the arrival Of the
schooner C. NJ. Ward on Tuesday last We have
dates from the islands TO the 2ls ult The weather
had been good, and work gone on well. As aspect
men Of the dispatch met with By vessels in the guano
trade, We may mention that the Mary E, Packer was
loaded and on her way to Europe in IS days from
time Of leaving San Francisco; the Agate in - days
from Honolulu, and the R. c. Wyle in 81 days from
Honolulu. At Howland's, October 25lh, the bark
Frances was scuttled by two OF the crew. This it
will be remembered was the vessel on board Of
which there was q mutiny at anchor of this port on
the Goth of September last, and the two men then
implicated were the ones who scuttled The ship at
the island BY the strenuous exertions OF the shore
party the leak was got under, although the vessel
at one time had feet Of water in the holds and the
auger holes were plugged up so that she proceeded
on her voyage on the 2Sh. Had the attempt to
sink the vessel been successful it would have in
cluded the loss of the mooriugs, which would have
been a serious oue.-P c. 4.

l. r. MoFFITT SToNEY.-It is with deep regret
that we have 10 record the sudden death of l. R.
Mofitt Stoney, in this city, on Thursday last. Few
men leave so many sincere friends amongst both
the native and foreign population the late R. Moi

Stoney) His attention TO the welfare of the native
population of his neighborhood viii long beremem-

natives most Requirement who obtain and keep an
influence over them for their own good. Most Of
the heads Of families, who worked for him. have at
his instance laid by little for their old age or
for their children and we all know how much nhu-
ence, and what persistent would be required to
bring about result so satisfactory and at the same
time one so opposed to the ordinary native habit.
His carefully managed estate of Kahuku has long
been pattern to stock owners, and the improve

largely due to his judieious management and excel

4 NARROW EscAPE-The Female Seminary at
Waialua, OahR, narrowly escaped being destroyed
by fire one evening receBtly by one Of the scholars
carelessly throwing lighted match into closet
containing clothing the door Of which was shortly
afterwards closed The fire was discovered as the
inmates were about retiring, and was extinguished
without much damage being done. Had the discov-
cry not occurred until later in the evening it Is con-
sidered doubtful if the building could have escaped
total destruction.

On Saturday last. MT. Jason Parker em- ployed Mir. Daniel Taylor to assist in burn . ing over piece of land he was clearing. The fire got the advantage, but was sub- dued after long continued effort. Mir. Parker then saw th"t 1t needed attention in another part of the field, ard sent Mr. Taylor, at the same time remarking that he was exhausted. Mir. Taylor went, and af- ter being absent IS he thinks about two hours, returned aud found Mr. Parker ly- ing upon the ground, apparently conscious, yet unable to speak. He immediately pre- pared the wagon with hay and such loose garments as were at hand, laid Mir. Parker in, and started for home; but Mir. Parker soon ceased to breathe. The day was very warm, and being unaccustomed to hard outdoor labor it is supposed that Mr.. Parker's exertion in the sun and over the fire, without hat, produced congestion of the brain. He was an estimable man whose loss is severely felt. His age was 60 years. X. l..

There are twelve scattering votes already returned. and per- haps more will turn up so that the election will probably be thrown into the Legisla- ture, where of course Jewell will be elected.
 Such is the present prospect. but We have no doubt other mistakes will appear on further examination, and the result can hardly be considered absolutely certain. Nevertheless Jewell's chance of success is decidedly the best

The Democracy on the other hand gathered at their club rooms and were waiting for returns land also for four or five gallons of Democratic whiskey) to come in. Just then despatch came over the wires which read about as follows:
 The Republican managers have given up the State by 2.O00 majority. three mem- bers of Congress. and both branches of the General Assembly,. Starkweather is badly scratched in the Third District, but may possibly be elected o The whiskey and returns were exceed ingly good, and the Democracy got gIori, ous1y' drunk, not once thinking that those who laugh last laugh best About 10 o'clock the returns began to come in thick and fast with large Republican gains, showing that Jewell was elected beyond a reasonable doubt We had returns from l62 towns. showing 994 Republican gain. The Republicans could hardly contain themselves at this unexpected news. Right on the hee! of this come the following des- patch:
