Carr. HAYEs-This ubiquitous and notorious
rover, who was reported last year as having been
chased by British cruisers over to China, is now
at Apia, Navigator Islands, where he intends to
make his headquarters. He was fitting out his
brig, the Leonora, for another cruise among the
Poynesan Islands, and talked of coming to
Honolulu to sell his cargo of oil and cobra, if
there is any chance of better market here for
it than at Apia.
U. S. SnIP ALIFoRx1A.-This fine ship has
recently been thoroughly re-caulked throughout
her decks, and outside above the water-liue. If
laid in straight line, the caulking would extend
over eleven miles, which sailors might term a
long yarn. She is still in the hands of the paint
ers. and when the work is done we hear that the
ship will make a cruise to the various ports of
Maui and Hawaii.
STEAMER MAILS. We are informed by the
Postmaster General that hereafter the Kilauea
will not leave her wharf for windward ports till
81 p. NJ, aud that the mails at the Post Office,
on the day she leaves, will be kept open till fire
(5) o'clock. This will enable all to post their
letters and will tend to check the practice of
sending them outside the mails. Latterly nearly
as many letters have been sent outside the
steamer mails as in them.
