NIauritius and Hawaii.

EDrroR GAZETTE In the leading article Of the
GAZETTE of Feb. 5, commenting on the Custom
House statistics. appears the following paragraphs:
We have before spoken of the benefit and saving
which would accrue 10 our planters here should
il be possible to make this the market for their
products. This is almost the only sugar growing
country in the world where the planter is obliged
either of himself or through an agent to ship his
produce TO foreign market The saving both in
expense and delay in realization, would no doubt
be great aud, could such an object be attained,
benefit would no doubt accrue both 10 the planter
on other islands and the agents in Honolulu"
The statement is well put, and the costly sys-
tenn referred TO as in vogue here is undoubtedly
one Of the principal evils under which our plant
ers have long labored. and its reverse is the
secret of the success in Mauritius and Cuba. Not
only must sugar be manufactured at low cost to
make the heavy investments remunerative to the
planter, but it must also be marketed, or disposed
Of. at the lowest possible cost. Otherwise the ex-
penses will absorb all the profits, and result in
failure, as has been the case in too many in
stances here. In Mauritius, not only is the sugar
invariably sold before IL lsaUes the Island but in
many instances it is sold before The cane is cut,
and the planter Is allowed to draw Of needed) in
advance of delivery on the buyer, free of charge
Everything is thus 10 his favor and he has not
only no interest to pay on advances, but pays
very small commissions, or none, for selling. and
has the great advantage of debating his own
terms to the buyer.
Some two years ago, two gentlemen who resided
here aud desired TO see this economical system of
selling sugars before shipment introduced here
made proposals TO buy the entire crop Of of our
plantations (say two million pounds,) at what was
considered a fair price to both parties The terms
were concluded lacking only the signatures of the
parties, when great cry raised about attempts
10 destroy the business Of agents Of plantations
Something was also said about the immortality, If
not dishonesty, Of meddiing with other peoples
affairs, while the planters interested were spoken Of
as the most ungrateinl OF humans in Withdrawing
their business from those who had bridged over the
ehasm of !" hard times To make a long story
short, the Mauritius system was proved humbug,

FINDINGS AND JUDGMENT OF THE COURT:
The evidence is that the horses aud carriages
were bought and paid for by His late Majesty,
the bill of sale being in his own name, and that
they we're kept and cared for by him, and used
mainly by the plaintiff. member of his household
and favorite servant. They were also some
times snoken of as hers, but the fact that two
other horses given her by the King were by his
order branded with her brand. confirms me in the
view that these were never given or meant to be
given to her except for use. There is no evidence
that the furniture which the plaintiff used in the
Palace yard was given or belonged to the plaintiff.
The calabashes however appear to have been
bought with her money and to be her property
