WHAT HAS DELAYED THE STEAMER Talent has
become exhausted in trying 10 answer this ques-
ton ; it now relinquishes the task to Genius.
TIE KuAUEA having undergone some necessary
repairs, sailed on Thursday :. NJ, on her trip to
Kauai. She is due on the return tomorrow morn
ing, and will sail for the Kona trip on Monday.
y A BARGAIx.-The land of Haena on Kauai was
I sold on Saturday last at auction as per notice, and
brought 81 200, Mr.. W. Kinney being the purchaser.
About 400 acres are said to be excellent level land,
the balance billy. -
SUPREME CoURT-On Monday the action of assump-
sit of Ian Wing vs.. All Ton and Chun Heong, was
tried by q foreign jury, and q verdict rendered for
the plaintiff in the sum of $40. The foreign jurors
were discharged for the term.
METROPOLITAN MARkET.-Our friend Waller. has
shifted his quarters to the mdukG side of King
/ street, and opened a very neat stand where he can
tender a steak, cut a outlet or chop a chop in u
manner meet for approval.
: SALUTEs.-On Wednesday the French frigate La
FYore exchanged the customary salutes with the shore
battery. subsequently, Her Britanic Majesty's Com
missioner, and the French Consul both visited the
frigate, and on leaving for the shore received the
salute due their respective ranks.
ITEM.-The Lahaina packet did not sail as usual
on Saturday last, and the reason why was given on
Tuesday. Captain Crane tell us that there was
an arrival of a male specimen OF the genus -4rdea,
(see Webster) at his place ON Liliha street Monday
morning, which he proposes to name n. Merrill.
A Commemorative desire to correct an errone-
Gus statement in our last as to a reported suicide OF
a young man ut Haiku, named Davies We gave
the report as it came from Waikiki where it was
current, but we are informed by the Marshal that
investigation proved that the death was from natural
causes. -
BURGLARY.-We learn that the Empire Billiarh
Saloon was entered some time after midnight and
before 2 o'clock on Saturday morning last, and
robbed of $15 in cash, and some liquors and cigars. 7
Money was the main object of the thief, as every
thing about the bar was thoroughly rummaged.
From marks Of feet on the floor the burglar was
supposed to have been a Chinaman.
I BEwILDERED.-A seaman belonging to the English
iman-of-war Scout was brought to the Station House
Jon Saturday night, he having been found wandering
about among the ~salt-pans at Fisherman's Point.
He had overstayed his liberty, but gave as an excuse
that being in liquor, he got bewildered among the
~salt-pans, and was unable to find his way out. The
excuse sounds reasonable enough, TOR the labaryn tbs
there might perplex a sober man.
FROM HLo.-Our adVices are to the Sth, last
Monday, when the weather was as moist as any old
resident could have desired, thunder rolled among
the hills, and the genial trades had resumed their
sway. Two whaleships were in port, which may be
looked for here at any day-the Camilla, Captain
Pulver, clean, and the Helen Mar, Captain koon,
with $50 sperm. - ~
New SHERIFF-We learn by official notifcation
in the Gazette, that Mr.. Samuel W. Wilcox has been
duly commissioned as Sheriff of the gubernatOrjal
division consisting Of the Islands of Kauai and Mi \
hau, in place of Mr.. w. o. Smith, resigned to ac- \
cept the appointment of Sheriff of the gubernatorial 4
division consisting of the Islands OF Maui, Molokail
Lanai and KahOolawe. II
A SERIOUS CHARGE.-A native man named Mahoe
was on Monday a~rraigned in the Police Court on a
charge of having intercourse with a female child I'M
der fourteen years of age. The punishment for this
offence by our law is Imprisonment at hard labor not
less than three nor more than eighteen months, in
the discretion of the Court. The prisoner pleaded
not guilty, and on motion of counsel the case was
postponed. 1t occupied several days in the hearing
and was finally dismissed and the man discharged,
on Thursday. -
PROPER VIGILANCE-We believe in giving credit
wherever it is due, and therefore find a subject for
commentator in the prompt action of the agent of
the Board of Health in looking after nuisances and
matters deleterious to the public health. 1t should {
be remembered that the warm selson is approaching. /
1t may not be amiss in this connection to state that
the small pox has made its appearance in some parts
of New Zealand, and the newspapers there are coun-
selling a re-vaccination of the people.
Z From MICRONEsIA-We learn that by the way of
Auckland. intelligence has been received from the
Rev. Mr.. Sturges at POnape. under date of Deem
Der Isl. He reports all well at the mission, and
happy in their work. Since his return to his field
of labor, lightweight members had been added to
the church, and the missionary work was progress
ing favorably, the natives taking an increased in
terest in church building. Letters from the Rev.
Mr.. Doane state that owing to the continued illness
of his wife. he should be compelled to leave the
station, probably not to return.
In this connection we have a report that the
of the Pacific have recently paid a
visit to one of the Islands occupied by our mission
and carried of into captivity some OF the poor in
habitants. The L. S. government should have .
steamer constantly cruising in that part of this
ocean, to capture and bring to justice the wretches
who like Hays and Pea are constantly proving
in those unirequented seas to prey upon the simple
natives. -
& NAvAL--The French frigate, La F2Ore, Admiral

The GAY SEAsoN.-After a short rest enhanced by
the observance of the Lenten season with US, Homo
gives tokens of the approach of new gayeties,
as well as the revival of standard jollities and
amusements. We are a Pleasure-loving community,
