ing at I O'Clock, taking the mails for the Colonies. She
took on board an unusual quantity Of Goals, ard is
expected to make the passage to Auckland in twelve
days. -
The NARRAGANSETT-We learn that this United
States steamship will probably return to Honolulu
for Goals. from the Navigator Islands, previous TO
proceeding to the coast. instead Of going direct to
Valparaiso. If SO, she may be looked for shortly.
SHERIFF OF MAUI-It is reported by way Of La
haina that the vacancy in the Police of Maui caused
by the death of the late Sheriff has been filled but
nothing to that effect has yet been received from an
official source. We understand there are several
candidates for the position, the appointment to which
Is the DrOyIlce OF the Governor of the Island
THE REACTIoN.-Last week the two ocean steamers
were in port, and the presence of their passengers on
our streets and the passing to and fro of merchandise
made things look brisk-and in fact there really was
some business going on. Now however that they are
gone, everything has hattened down again. and dull
ness reigns. -
OUR NEXT MAIL.-We learn that a clipper ship.
the name of which has not transpired, was to leave
San Francisco about the 7th inst under n guano
charter, to touch at this port, and may therefore be
looked for shortly The Queen Emma hence, has
been absent thirty days, and we look for her to ar
rive about April 9th.
ACCIDENT.-On Tuesday afternoon, Patrick Nc
Dermott, tinsmith, who has but recently recovered
from a severe fit of sickness, while entering q gate
at Palama on horseback, caught his foot between the
Stats, and the leg was broken just above the ANGLE.
He was taken to the Queens Hospital. where the leg
was set, and we hear he is doing well.
THE FoUNTAIN.-This is the name of Rycroft's
new Billiard Saloon and Restaurant on Fort street,
where. in lieu of rlodding home to lunch in the
middle OF the day, one can get a cup of nice tea or
coffee. a plate of soup, a beef steak, or a cut of
ham, by way of lunch, with ice creams and iced
temperance drinks ad Li6itum. A neatly fitted place
is RycrOft's, and will become a fayorite place of resort.
HAWAIIAN THEATRE Madame Duret LIE Roy and
Mr.. lie Roy opened at the Theatre Thursday night in a
variety of their pleasing characters and delineations.
The audience, owing to the threatening appearance
of the weather, was small but all present seemed to
enjoy the entertainment. The ~artistes certainly merit
the sur port of our theatre going people, and we an
ticipate a full house tonight.
KAUMAKAPILI CHURCH.-The members of this
native congregation are noted for the liberality with
which they contribute of their means for worthy
objects. They recently gave 500 as a contribution
for the relief of Chicago sufferers, and now we learn
that they have promptly raised between three and
four hundred dollars for putting a vestry room at the
rear of the church building.
REMOVAL OF THE Z. S. HosPITAL.-We understand
that DR.. McGreW has leased the premises lately
occupied by the American Club, and is busted in
fitting them up as a marine hospital. The WELL
known experience and good taste of the doctor, is
sufficient guarantee that the buildings and grounds
will be made as comfortable, and attractive in fact,
while the location presents many advantages over
the present site. -
MORE BURGLARIEs.-We learn that on Tuesday
night last, the dwelling house of Mr.. G.. W. Macy
was entered, and S115 in cash stolen. The thief
was also heard on the premises of Mrs. Colburn, near
by, but hearing some one awake, left. Yesterday,
the dwelling house of Mr.. R.. Rycroft was entered
between the hours of 10 and 3 o'clock in the daytime,
and thieves succeeded in carrying off a watch and a
small sum of money.

received from Oregon, by the Jane 4. EILEin5erq,
avery tine spar, Ordered som months since) for
flagstaff in front of their rooms on Garden street.
Tho nar i ~ faaf in launtb and vbap c+ ~, -
will be mounted with the hre-hat. which "Two's"
consider as their peculiar badge. and it will consid-
erably over-top the staff on the beethoven. 1t will
require some little engineering TO get it through
stand. without lifting over corners, and its erection
will be an event for the Company.
"A LARGE BOILER The Comet brought on deck a
large boiler for the Hebron Plantation at East Maui,
(which must have cOst-we won't guess how many,
but-several thousand dollars. 1t is an immense
affair, as big as that of the steamer Kiiauea. In this
connection We may remark that a new improvement
has lately been introduced at the East, but which so
far as we have heard has not yet been adopted here,
that consists in placing a gutta percha band on the
balance wheel of an engine, TO utilize the otherwise
waste power. Another advantage is claimed, that it
steadies the running of the engine.
BIRTHDAY OF THE EMPERoR-Yesterday. in honor
Of the occasion. the flags on the battery Of Punch
bowl, the Government buildings. foreign Consul
ates. and the shipping in the harbor. were dis
played. and our German fellow citizens observed
the day as a holiday. In the afternoon, there was
a very pleasant ~assemblage of families at the
German Climb Rooms on Emma street. which were
decorated in excellent taste with flags. the Hawai-
ian and German being entwined over the entrance.
and the old folks as well "a the numerous little
ones appeared to enjoy themselves highly.

Mr.. H. NJ. Whitney gave a feast in native style to the
advance paving subscribers Of the RuOf0g. native
newspaper, in a large lot on Maunakea street. 4
whole OK was roasted. and fathom hogs, and severa!
hundred fishes were dished up nu aatuTel, with FIVE
barrels of poi as c~oncomitant. Some 800 persons sat
