present informed, but bis neighbors give him an I'M
enviable character, as having been q mischief-mak-
ing, treachorous, and altogether very undesirable
resident. In his letter above alluded to he states
that he sold out his place at Hama, losing nine
teen years hard earnings TO get away from lep-
rosy. We are Informed that lie was closed out
by his Honolulu creditors. his hard earnings -
in the House Of Blazcs'' having apparently
melted away-as observation teaches as is quite
often the case with money obtained through such
means. 50 much for the author of the - interest
ing and important facts" furnished to the Mel
bourne Daily Telegraph.
In a subsequent issue of the Telegraph, de
cember Sth) we find a letter from Geo. y. Oakley,
Esq. His Hawaiian Majesty's Consul at Mel
bourne, which was called forth by the letter of
Steele. Mr.. Oakley speaks of this letter as man
ifestly that of an alarmist, and as made up of
misstatements, and adds The islands are rap
idly attaining such important commercial rela-
tions with the Australian Colonies that canards =
which the representatives of better known nations
can afford to leave unnoticed cannot pass unchal-
lenged by me, lest silence should be construed as
acquiescenee, and thus deepen the feeling of I'M
easiness which S occasioned by them" We
cannot doubt but that through our Foreign Oaice,
Hawaiian Consular agents abroad will be fur
nished with the necessary data to rebut any future
misstatements that may be made in this respect
but we can refer confidently TO the letter of Mr..
Nordhoff, before mentioned, in the New York Tn
hume of Oct. "a, 1873, for a full aud truthful ac-
count of all that pertains to the subject of leprosy
in these Islands. As We stated quite recently in
these columns, any one may travel from one end
of the islands to the other without seeing or
hearing anything of leprosy.

Fiji.
By way of Auckland we have news to the 8rd De-

By way of Auckland we have news to the 3rd De
cember.
Under date of the 18th November, the FIJI Times
has the following: The news received during the
week from the colonies is Of particular interest, as it
shows the state OF The public mind outside Fiji to be
in favor of the annexation Of these islands to Great
Britain. The action of the German residents in Lee
yuka on the recent occasion in preparing TO resist the
Government by fone of arms, and the after proceed
ings at Nasova, where about 100 unarmed white men
were driven back and ill-used by twelve hundred
Fijians, armed to the teeth, have ELECTED a general
feeling in the colonies that England should at once
assume the sovereignty of these islands. This feel
ing has been evinced by the warm manner in which
the colonial Press has taken up and discussed the
question, and also by the action of Sir II. Robinson,
Governor of New South ales, who has telegraphed
to the Home Government, urging on them to annex,
and by the fact of Populations having waited upon
the Government Of New South Wales, urging the
speedy settlement Of this question. The Press has
come to the conclusion that England will now,
through the action of her commanders of men-of-war
in these seas, be compelled to annex. One circum-
stance is probably favorable to this end, namely the
delay in the new Consul's arrival. Had he come to
FIJI at the present time, his instructions might have
been such as would have led to q certain course Of
action which the late events may completely alter.
The delay in his arrival will admit of a full consid-
Grafton Of the subject by the English Cabinet, and
they will see the necessity of some prompt steps being
taken. Annexation is not a thing, as the Govern
ment say it is, that is opposed either to the native
mind or the native interest. We can safely assert
that the measure would have the hearty concurrence
Of a vast-an overwhelming majority OF the settlers
Of FIJI; that it would be welcomed by a large num-
Der of the natives hemselves-those chiefs excepted
who perhaps have been exalted by the establishment
of the concern that the whole of the Australian
colonies would applaud the measure; and that Eng
land through her Press-that great organ of national
speech, if We may 80 term it,-would uphold the I'm
perial Government in its action.
1t has been determined that " one of His Majesty's
bIIuIsIerS VIII proceed, under instructions via Homo
lulu to Washington, and most likely on to Europe for
the purpose of pressing upon the great Powers the
claims of this kingdom to the fullest recognition
Such is the statement put forth by Ministers.
Arrangements are on the eve of completion by
which some twenty or thirty young chiefs will be sent,
at the cost of the Government, for education at the
Mission Training Institution at Nayeloa. Three
years 10 proposed as tho period during which thAy ore
to be thus under control, and the curriculum includes
a thorough knowledge of the English language.

THE PACIFIC

U II.

The ATTEMPT made in the Gazette to defend its
editor and publisher from the charge of issuing
obscene publications in the native language, is so
very peculiar rs to require comment and re-asser-
ton on our part-after which we shall wash our
hands of the unclean subject. The Gazette is
one of the M guoque-'' you're another sort
OF disputants. 1t is very desirous to see every
body smeared alike with the mud with which it
finds itself covered. The matter in the Kuok0a
to which we took exception as being impure,
though purporting to be a translation from the
80 Arabian Nights Entertainments" is in truth
and fact the invention and composition of a native
printer employed in the Government printing
Office. This string of hastily sensational fable
has been over two years in course of publication
in weekly numbers, and though during the first
year 1t bore some resemblance to the supposed
original, it has latterly been the simple product
ola prurient native imagination. The . careful
Hawaiian scholar who according to the Ga-efte
has regularly read over the manuscript before
publication and the native editor who revised the
proofs, must both have been either obtuse to the
degree Of stupidity, or possessed of low concep-
tons Of what constitutes impurity in literature,
and in either case incompetent. Perhaps some
such q one may be the d" competent Judge who
asserts that as vile stuff has appeared in the
10 Ha'raii POHOi as any to which public atten-
ton has been called This assertion we pro-
nOuncc to be unqualifedly false, and we hereby
challenge any " competent judge " to point out
in the native paper issued by US, any " vile stuff
equal or in any remote degree comparable to the
vileness which is thickly strewn over the average
first page of the KuokOa.

THE NEW COTTON STANDARD-THE THEATRE.
CAL FRATERNITY.

New YORK, Sept. 2.-The special Committee of
the Cotton Exchange resumed session this morn
ing. 4 standard was adopted yesterday, and in
future all sales will be conducted on the basis Of
this classification. The committee are engaged
to day examining various grades, and new classi-
fications will be prepared and sent to each Cot
ton Exchange in the country.
New YORK, Sept 2.-The Commercial says the
special committee Of the National Convention of
Cotton Exchange, after much discussion, adopted
a uniform standard OF classification, which will
be recognized as the standard American cassiti-
cation.
That such an arrangement was Indispensable
and desirable no one can deny. The only danger
was that the types might be made too low, or too
high, and, as understand this point has not
been settled to the satisfaction of the dealers at
this place, we have heard from competent author
ity that the new types are made too low, as COM
pared with the long usage OF this market.
New York prides herself for the high standard
Of her classification, and it was an understood
fact the New York Low Middlings was fully Mid
dlings in Liverpool. According to the new type
Low Middlings is little better than old fashioned

EXCITEMENT LAST NIGHT.
A Rumored Attempt a. Lynching the
Murderer Alex. Newton.
A Stir Among the Metropolitans.

Last evening" at about half past 10 o'clock.
the sergeants and corporals of the First and
Second Districts were sent out, under orders
from the Superintendent Of Police, to bring IN
their men at once to the respective stations.
In short time there was gathered at the
First Precinct and Parish Prison co,rsidera-
bic force of the guardians of the night.
There were many surmises as to the cause
of this mysterious movement, and Dame Ru-
NOR has it that the police had information OF
an intended move on the Parish Prison by the
many friends of the late Mons. Bourdounay,
for the purpose of lynching the murderer,
Newton. BULLETIN reporters repaired imme'
diately to the spot and found everything
quiet.
Up to 1890 O'Clock, there was no evidence
Of any intended demonstration. l. is more
than singular why the protectors (:) of the
peace and property Of our citizens should be
thus withdrawn from their beats when it was
evident no movement Of that kind was on
foot. At the Parish Prison everything Wa
quiet; from Newton's cell could be seen the
Pickering light of candle.
The turkeys We're, as usual, about then
business and unusual quiet prevailed about
the prison. There was considerable excite
ment caused by this strange movement on the
part OF the police, and many inquiries vert
made as to the reason Of this sudden demon
stration. Up to the hour of going to pres
there is a remarkable quiet on our streets, and
it is not probable that anything will Occur
before morning.
