FROM H1Lo.-Our correspondent under date of the
10Th says: Fine weather for cane growing in this
district; plenty of rain, but not enough to hinder
cultivation. Planters in this district are beginning
to feel that they have been anxious to get too many
acres planted, no matter how they cultivated. Good
blowing and narrowing used two or three years since
to be unknown here; but now, good blowing and
narrowing is being strictly attended to-"
Our PREssEs.-In the Office of this paper one day
this week. was seen for the first time in these ISL
ands, three power presses at work at one time, a
Hoe, an Adams, and a Gordon. The first named is
a late importation, direct from the celebrated maker
in New York, and this is the farthest west that a
Hoe cylinder press yet travelled. A number of visit
ors were attracted on Tuesday afternoon to observe
its speed and beautiful action.
QUICK DIsPArCH.-Captain W. B. Godfrey, of the
schooner Margaret Crockard, which left here last
Saturday for Portland, furnished us with the follow
ing memoranda of that vessels work for thirty-eight
days: Sailed from San Francisco June 18th ar
rived at Portland June 10Th loaded, and sailed
from Columbia River bar June 29th, at 9 A. NJ. ar
rived at Honolulu July 18th, at 6 P. NJ, IA days and
9 hours passage. Discharged and loaded cargo in
five days, and sailed for Portland July 10Th, at
D P. NJ. -
THE LAST ROUND TRIP.-The steamer KIEduea, to
sail on Monday next, makes the trip around the Isl
and of Hawaii, for the last time, as we are informed
by the agent. While these circuit of Hawaii trips
are not by any means 1emunerating, they would not
however be discontinued on that ground but in
order to make her time the steamer must run at
night as well as in the day, and the risk is very
great on the rocky coasts of Hawaii, especially in
the districts of Puma and Kau. Hereafter the
steamer will run only as advertised to Kona and
Hilo. -
THE OPIUM TRAFFIc.-Last Thursday a native
named Luka was fined 500 in the Police Court for
selling opium without a license. 1t appeared that
the master of a schooner lying at one of the wharves
received two small packages of opium to take to
Kauai, but that one package disappeared mysteri-
ously from the table on which it had been placed.
The missing package was the one from which Luka
sold to different natives whom he met looking for
some Chinaman to buy opium for them. In this
way the police got track of the affair. This little
straw shows how the opium wind is blowing.
WALK AROUND THE IsLAND.-During the week
just past, a small party of ladies and gentlemen left
Honolulu, to walk around this island. The object of
course is health and amusement, and the first they will
doubtless attain, not unmixed with hardship. The
distance to be walked is considerably over one hum
dred miles, but our pedestrians will doubtless travel
many more. Who does not envy them the bracing
air, the exercise, bringing good appetites and sound
sleep, the pleasant wayside chat, the beautiful
scenery?
"Thrice happy he! who on the sunless side
OF a romantic mountain, forest-crown'd,
Beneath the whole collected shade reclines
Or in the geld caverns, wood-bine wrought,
And fresh bedew'd with corresponding streams,
Sits coolly calm while all the world without,
dissatisfied and sick, losses at nooD.'

Bedford, June 9th, says:
