LOFTY HoNoRs On Christmas day, while the
people on the beach Mt Wailuku were cheering for
the Prince, Prot. Alexander and his party reached
the snowy summit of Mauna Kea and gave three
cheers for LUNALILo. Thus on the same day, from
the ocean level to the clouds, was our future King
proclaimed. -
OLD AcoUAISTAScEs.-Capt. Clary, of the U. s. s.
-,-s -,u1fal NL.- -A-s 1870 -
ago, when attached to the Pre6Ie. William Haiford,
now gunner of the Benecia, will be remembered as
the brave quarter-master of the SdSfRdlc, who ac-
companied the Inflated Talbot on the boat voyage
from Ocean Island to Kauai
\ FIRE AT PAUKAA--From Hilo we learn that at
noon on the 23d inst, o fire broke out at Paukaa
Plantation, caused by a spark from the chimney of
the sugar mill, which caught in the roof of n
thatched house. 1t spread rapidly, and consumed
four matched houses and one of wood. together with
their contents. The estimated loss will not probably
exceed s. 900. -
The WINDwARD ISLANDS are reported as quite en-
thusiastic for the Prince. Meetings had been held
at Wailuku and MakawaO. in which great mani
nifty was shown. and the vote it is thought will be
nearly If not quite unanimous. AT Kau on Hawaii,
before the Princes address was received. a meeting
had'been held and the representative was instructed
to vote for LUNALnO, with a gentle animation that
it would not be healthy for him to vote for any one
else. So throughout the other districts of Hawaii,
the Princes popularity is unbounded.
BRIBERY TALKED oF.-We translate the following
from the Ruokoa, native paper: "We have heard
that one of the representatives has been offered four
hundred dollars if he would give his vote for q chief
other than the peoples choice. The representative
refused the bride, because if he had taken it, when
he got home the people would hang him, and so the
attempt failed. But we beg to say to the person
who tries to bribe, that he had better take himself
out of the country. If it should become known who
he is, it would 60 hard with him.
SOMETHING OF A FIGHT.-While the KTIauea was
at Hilo, the engineer, Mr.. Roberts, was coming off
to the vessel in a shore boat, when the drunken boat
boys demanded additional pay for some work they
had done, and upon Mr.. Roberts refusal to comply
with their demands, they attacked him and tried to
force him into the water. The hands on board the
steamer, seeing that there was some difficulty going
on, came to the rescue in one of her boats, and for a
time there was a lively fight. Mr.. Roberts got of
with some pretty severe bruises. We have not
learned whether any arrests have been made.
