We publish below a somewhat remarkable let
the London Nail We are of opinion that wheth-
er Great Britain takes possession Of the Fjis or
not it will be long time before the " Stars and
Stripes will wave over the fort Of Honolulu"
1t is a fact that majority of the foreign resi-
dents of these Islands are Americans, but it is
no less fact, well known too that His Majesty
has no more loyal subjects than they are:
To THE EpuoR-SR One point seems to
have been overlooked in the debate upon the
proposed annexation of the FIJI Islands-its pro-
bable effect on another, al present the most i'm
portant group in Polynesia, the Hawaiian Islands.
The Washington Government hitherto has re-
spected the Independent sovereignty of the
Kamehamehas. Though the present civilization
Of the people is mainly due to American mission
aries, their commerce, not inconsideable, is
chiefly in American hands, and of the 5000
foreigners resident there the great majority are
citizens of the United States. But it could not
reasonably be expected that, with such interests
to protect in the North Pacific, Americans would
continue TO exercise the same self-restraiut as
heretofore were British territory in that ocean to
be thus extended. Our possession of the carry
ing trade across the Atlantic makes them pro-
pOrtionaly sensitive as to that across the Pacific
This at present is in their hands, both as regards
the large steamers running between San Fran
cisco and Yokohama, and the new line between
San Francisco and Australia. The latter was
actually intended to touch at the FIJI Islands.
During on episcopate of nine years had very
confidential relations with two Hawaiian Kings
in succession, personal intercourse with the
President and Secretary of the United States,
aud other favorable advantages for learning the
feelings of Americans on the subject of Hawaiian
and l am convinced, were England
to take possession of FIJI on the grounds urged,
the Stars and Stripes" must soon wave on the
fort of Honolulu. r. y. STALEY,

The Late Tidal Wave.

It will be well to place on record. for future
reference, the facts relating to the recent tidal
wave, which swep, through the group as far as
heard from.
It occurred OF Friday, August %, at u
O'Clock, noon. The foundry whistle had Just
sounded, when Capt Dan1 Smith and Mr.
Emmes both observed the water rushing out Of
the harbor. the reef quite bare and the native
fishermen shouting and running inland. In ten
minutes the sea returned TO the height Of foil
tide. Capt. Smith noted down his observations
al the time.
The tiieregister at the lighthouse marked 8
sudden fall Of about Is inches, buttbe clock not
being regulated to shore time, The true time at
which it occurred cau not be determined by it.
From y to Is ?. y, there were Eve distinct
waves. each less in height than the previous
but showing q range Of u to Is inches; and
the sea. during the afternoon and evening, as
indicated by the tiieTegster, was quite irregular
and restless.
At Hanalei. Kauai, the steamer Kilauea was
lust getting under way, and the bell had struck
for u O'Clock, when Capt. McGnegor noticed the
sea receding from the harbOr, leaving the reef
quite bare. 1t soon retained. causing an extra
ordinary surf all along the shore
At NawiliEili. at the same hour, the sea re-
ceded and returned FIVE times, with range Of
some two to three feet between the lowest and
highest point. The form Of the bay is calculated
to produce a higher rise Of the water in such
occurrences. 1t may be remarked here that the
usual tides do not show a range Of over twenty
inches throughout our group. At the date when
the wave occurred 1--WE days after full NOON
there is generally much less rise and fall.
Capt. Williams, OF the British ketch Ino, re-
ports that on Aug. Is, 10 lst. ls9 S. y, long.

Of Hawaii be had heavy rain, with thunder and

violently breaking and boiling as on bar or
reef Wind NE, strong and squaIly, latter Psrt
calm. with an extraordinary sea. This would
indicate some submarine commoiiOn in connec-
ton with the volcano.
1t will be interesting to refer to previous sim
liar phenomena There we're two tidal waves
Observed here during 1865. The frst occurred
about 6 P. X, April >. some two hours later than
the great tidal wave which took place simuliane-
oasly with the earthquake shock and aud erlp-
ton in Kan, at r. n. on that day. At keaU-
The Hawaiian gazette., 1872-08-28

hou, on the southeastern shore of Hawaii, where
the submarine shock occurred which produced
the wave, the sea rose first ten or twelve feet,
then receded eighteen feet below low-water mark,
then suddenly returned with a terrific wave, which
swept over the tops of cocoanut trees destroy
ing houses, trees, aud many lives. The sea rose
and fell eight times, each following wave having
diminished force
Again, on the 18th and l4th of August, 1865,
the same phenomenon occurred throughout the
group having originated in the great earthquake
in Peru. This was first noticed here at P. NJ
of the 18th, when the sea rose unusually high
At u P, ", it suddenly receded, leaving the reef
bare, and caused such a noise as walked many
natives living near the sea. II rose gradually,
and at 4. N. Of the l4th, receded again very
rapidly, and rose, in fifteen minutes, 46 inches
At $50 A. NJ, it receded aud rose rapidly, IS
inches. At 2:35 P. NJ, it marked the highest
range, feet and 4 inches above the lowest fall.
At Hilo. the sea continued TO rise and fall for
thirty hours, with a range of S feet, alternately
OVERLOOKING the beach, and leaving the reef bare.
In lS37. at P. N, the sea in Honolulu harbor
fell S feet below high.water mark In 2S minutes
it returned, and again receded feet.
At Hilo, this same wave showed a range of 80
feet having been quite destructive to life and
property. 1t was equally destructive on the wind
ward side Of Maui, causing great loss of life. 1t
probably originated in al earthquake on the South
American coast, like that OF August, 1865

The Resignation of the Ministry.

retain their offices, for the performance of

There has been. undoubtedly. q want of
