from San Francisco to-day. There have been
longer passages than this. but not frequently.

}licstion of $ table of the tides in the harbor Of Homo
lulu, calculated by Mr.. C. J. Lyons, Assistant Gov
Nernment Surveyor.
BENEFIT OF Ma. Csc. WrLLrlNs-An attractive
bill will be presented at Buffum's Hall on Monday

beneficiary will see that be has q full house.

two crown lands for a term of five years each. were
sold At Auction-one on Kauai for $3.50. and one
st Kohala. for SllO.

The IDAHO sailed for San Francisco on Wednesday
at II O'Clock, taking the Colonial and Hawaiian
mails, and forty passengers in transitu from New
Zealand and Australia. See commercial column for
list Of passengers from Honolulu.
The Manufacturing to the n~on-completion of
repairs on the steamer hidued. she will not be
ready to resume her regular trips before Monday,
October q. at which date she will sail for n trip
around Hawaii. \ good opportunity for those
wishing to visit the Volcanoes.
4 MoKUAwEowEo.-A friend of ours informs us that
4 while the translation that Quirk gives of this Ha-
waiian name in his volcano article may not be incor-
rect, that is, The ship of the Forest he thinks
that it is more likely to have been 1.-The island of
lurid burning "-Moku-a-weoweo, which seems TO
US very likely. -
THE ArSTR ALAN LINE WIN IT Wehh ESu ar
rived in San Francisco early in September. to per-
feet arrangements in regard to the line. After the
arrival of the DakOtdh. which is now thirty seven
days out from New FORK, the boats will run through
without transferring cargo and passengers at this
port. Reserve steamers are to be prepared and
other measures taken to render the service generally
more thorough and efficient.
AFTER HAYEs.-By letters received in this city from
Micronesia, under date of April last, via China, we
learn that a British war vessel had called at Ebon,
on q cruise after the man-stealers of the Pacific, and
that the officers were particularly anxious in their
inquiries after the whereabouts of the notorious
Captain Hayes. 1t is to be hoped that they may
catch him, and unlike the Americans at NavigatOrs,
when they do get hold of him, keep him fast.
THE WRECK on LIsIASsKI.-In the S. F. CONNER
cial Herald of Sept. 9Th, under the head of 8 Disas-
ter we find the following paragraph German
brig Wdnderer, hence April 10Th, for Nicolaefski.
with O cargo valued at S30,97l,w was wrecked May
10th, on Lisianski Islands. The crew were saved"
InlS Is the wreck reported DIV capt MO0u or the h0-
mehameha =. as having been seen by him in July
last. No particulars are given as to how the crew
were saved. - .
The WAILuKU BALL-The managers of the cele-
bration for the opening of the Public Hall at Wal
luku made q mistake when they set the day for
Octnber I'd, so near quarter day--that is, so far as
Honolulu people are concerned. We hear of but
few who can spare the t,r- to make the trip at this
season. Two weeks later there would have been
probably fifty excursonists. The schooner Ra Moi
is the only vessel up for Kahului, TO sail on Monday.
An OMIssIoN.-Iti is q custom, the invariable OBJ
servance of which has given almost the sanction Of
law, that the Pursers of Mail Steamers and the
Masters of sailing packets should, on their arrivalin
port, furnish the newspaper Offices with files of papers
and memoranda of the voyage, with a list of passen-
gers. etc. The first instance of a breach of this very
proper custom that has fallen under our notice for a
long time, has been that of the .Nepadd, which ar
rived on Tuesday morning, but from which we failed
to receive any information, outside of the mails.
THE Course OF TRUE LovE.-It was love of some
sort, and of that degree of intensity that came very
near proving deadly. One Kauakahi, a constable,
tried to hang himself with a towel. the other day,
and would have succeeded but for a timely Tor I'M
timely y discovery by some of the n~eighbors. The
towel was a long one, and he had twisted one end
around his neck and made the other fast to a rafter
while he stood on a chair, which he kicked from
under him. She was his wife. and he was jealous,
but he says he is satisfied with his experience and
don't want to hang himself any more.
CHINESE BANp.-Last Tuesday night, the Chinese
band of musicians who occasionally " make night
hideous - with their u~nearthly sounds, had a grand
saturnalia at a dry goods store kept by one Of their
countrymen on Beretania street, near Nuuanu. The
front of the upper story and veranda was illuminated
with colored lanterns, and two paper turkeys were
displayed with candles inside, which by strings were
made to execute various antics, very much like two
turkeys fighting, much to the amusement of a large
crowd of spectators gathered in the street below,
while their ears were RECALLED with a discord Of fear
fully wonderful sounds from the g band
TEMPERANCE LECTURE.-A large audience of ladies
and gentlemen listened to the lecture of DIR. Z. c.
Dunn, State Lecturer of the Order of Good Templars
of Illinois, on Tuesday evening last, at Fort Street
Church. The subject of temperance was handled by
the eloquent and talented orator in a manner that
enchanted the attention of his hearers to the end.
He was logical, statistical, pathetic and humorous by
turns. 1t is seldom that our citizens are privileged
to hear so gifted a speaker. and the only regret was
when he concluded, that there was not more of IT.
DR.. Dunn is en- route for Australia and Asia, in COM
pany with the Hon. J. N. PEBBLES, u. S. Consul for
Trebizonde, and sails to-day per the -NeUGda.
FALSE Saturday, q native
named Manua, was charged in the Police Court O
having falsely represented himself to be one Kala-
makee. Mr.. Thomas Brown, the Registrar of Public
Conveyances, testified that on the 9TH of this month,
the prisoner came to his office and acknowledged t.
the signature of Kalamazoo to n mortgage deed, fl
record, as his own signature, signed by him "fo-
the uses and purposes therein set forth" As thu
prisoner was not personally known to Mr.. Brown
his identity was sworn to, as the law requires in suci
cases, by another person, one W. B. MANU-, who wa
personally known to the Registrar. The mortgag
was en- a piece of land in Manoa Valley. for the sun
of one hundred dollars. Mr.. s. B. Dole testified (
having drawn the mortgage for the prisoner, who q
the time represented himself as Kalamazoo. At tn
conclusion of the examination, Msnua was coRmitte
for trial at the next term of the Supreme Court
MANU- having been previously committed on a charg
of perjury. This is the first case under the new Law
A SrAHPEDE.-Last Thursday evening there was
meeting of the Volunteer Cavalry, and some Of tb
a. brave" who rode into town to attend the meeting
tied their horses in an open lot at the lower end {
