received by the Queen Emma yesterday. and will
be housed to-day. We shall take an early oppor-
tnnity of inspecting and describing this new outfit
of the " Projections"
The FIRST WHALER.-The whale shin .ugyenps
Capt. Barnes. arrived at this port Monday mornS
ng, just nine months out, having left New Bedford
June 9th, 1871. She reports doing very well on the
way out, having sent home 200 bbls sperm via FayaI
worth say $40, 900 at latest quotations. +
Coon SAILING.-The new schooner UIlama. which
sailed last week for Hawaii, has on her first passage
quite come up to the expectations of her builders
and OF those who predicted she would prove n fast
sailer. She arrived off Kailua in twenty-six hours
from Honolulu, which is travelling Mt a rate of over
nine knots for the whole distance. Good for Hatfield.
A FITTING OF MoRMoNs.-Tt appears that there
are yet some left of the Mormon converts among the
Hawailans. The schooner .AnRie, which arrived
Monday morning from Kauai, brought 30 profess ]
ing MOrmons, under the leadership of two preachers,
Messrs. heoeoe and Kalalakea, on their way to the
Mormon settlement at Laie, on the windward side of
this island. - |
GooD TENPLAR's BALL.-By advertisement in
another column. it will be seen that n subscription
ball will be given on Tuesday evening next, the I'd
inst, at Buifum's Hall, in aid of the fund of 9 Ho-
nolulu " Lodge, No. 5, Independent Order of Good
%Templars. This Lodge is mainly composed of some
OF our best mechanics, and aside from the worthy
objects of the Order to which they belong, we doubt
not their appeal for aid will be appreciated aud
met by our community. That the Templars,
since their first establishment here less than three
years ago by the organization of &c Ultima Thule "
Lodge, No. l, have done a vast deal Of good in the
way of reform, is known and acknowledged by all,
and every good citizen cannot but wish them God
speed. -
LTHE SHERIFFALTY OF MAUI.-We learn from ofiA
nal sources that VIM. o. Smith, the present Sheriff.
u Kauai, has been appointed Sheriff of Maui. in the 4
place Of the late p. Ii. T~readWay. Mr.. Smith is vet IS
young man, but has gained a reputation for energy n
Ind efficiency on his own island in the discharge of
he duties of his office, which has doubtless led to
he present appointment. 1t is but fair to say, how
the labOrs and duties of the position on Maui
IRE rather more onerOus and arduous than those of
Kauai. In this connection it may be well to remark
hat the present popular and efficient Deputy Sheriff
f Maui, Mr.. 7. w. Everett, was offered the post. but
icing permanently and pleasantly located at Wal
lku, he preferred to remain there to changing his
esidence TO Lahaina, as an acceptance of the pro-
notion would have necessitated. Indeed the large II
Of East Maui would rightly consider it a
oss 10 their community, were their Deputy Sheriff to I
Orsake the post which he so ~usefully fills.
ASSASSINATION OF THE EARL OF MAYO.-It was !
My last fall that We heard Of the assassination of d
be Chief Justice Of India, and now the statement l
ONES that the Governor General has also fallen by I
he hand Of an assassin. Are there real, or ONLY {
incied evils in the British rule in India, that pro !
uces such crimes on the part of the people ruled? a
