no measured terms.
OAHU CoLLECE--The term examination OF the

and Friday. Visitors to the College during the past
year, who also attended the examination, note an i'm
provement in the c. MY behavior and manners Of

The "CITY OF MELBOURNE. This steamer put
in an appearance on Sunday afternoon and sailed
again on Monday. The detention, ten days, was
caused by gales on the Atlantic and snow on the
railroad. The newspaper mail from London reached
New York promptly, but the letter mail, sent from
London a day later, did not reach Boston for q week
or more after schedule time, owing to stress of wealth
err this together with q days detention on the rail-
road makes up the lost time. The run from San
Francisco to this port was made in eight days and
three hours. - /
A FREMAN's FEAsr.-On Saturday afternoon last
the members of " Hawaii - Engine Co. No. 4, enter
tanned His Majesty, the Heir Apparent, and officers
of the Fire Department at q generous feast, spread
at the hall of the company, on Nuuanu Avenue. His
Majesty has been an active member of this company
for thirteen years, and for the past three years has
held the position of Foreman. His brother fremen
determined to celebrate his promotion and hence the
feast. After an hour or two of pleasant exchange of
thought and sentiment pertinent to the occasion the
entertainment broke up.
CR1cKEr.-On Wednesday last a match game of
cricket was played on the plains, east of Honolulu,
between a picked eleven from II. B. MS S. Teaedos
and the Honolulu Cricketers. At 3 O'Clock P. NJ. the
wickets were pitched and the game commenced, but
-.o-.I IL ,,~.,4:,E,otor, a. Aoth .e:Ia. =, oou.a
quence of the rain, which set in about the same time
and lasted during the afternoon. AT 6 O'Clock the
wickets were drawn, when the score stood ene-
dos 70 runs, with one wicket to go down, and
&c Honoluluans - III runs. Mr.. Roberts, on the side
of Honolulu, scored As runs on his innings.
New KAHULuI PAcKEr.-The schooner Mary Eos
ter has been purchased by Captain Thomas Hebron,
to be placed on the Kahului route as a packet, to
take the place of the wrecked RG MOI. We learn
that the schooner will hereafter be called M .4fe@,a'
will be under the command OF captain Cluney,
long and favorably known as an obliging and trust
worthy captain in our coasting feet. We congratu-
late Captain Hebron on securing a vessel ever yWay
adapted for the business in which she is to be en-
gagged, with so popular a captain, wishing him TWEEN
ty years of as successful coasting business as the old
Ra Moi experienced.
DEEP SEA SoUNDING.-The United States ship
Tuscarora, Commander Belknap, left port on Tues
day to continue s~oundings to Japan, via the BONN
Islands. About an hour after the pilot left her,
some eight or ten miles off shore, the first sounding
taken. The service for which the vessel has
been detailed must BE tedious and monotonous after
the novelty has worn off. Patience together with
nicely of judgment and calculation are essential
qualifications to fit a person for the work, and from
~hattering notices of the American press, as to results
already obtained. we should judge that the selection
of Commander Belknap was a most happy one.
THEArR1cAL-Last Saturday evening, at the Royal
Theatre, Miss Colville and Mr.. Hoskins
to a full house, in spite of the wet weather
torch-light procession, and were well received
by an appreciative audience. Among those present
We noticed a part of the Royal family and suite.
Again on Thursday evening, they performed to a
good house. Miss ColVille, in her characters, brings
forth all the features of a charming actress, and, as
4 delineator of light comedy, is easy, natural and
Mr.. Hoskins, as an artist, renders his
parts quite satisfactory.
- An attractive programme will be presented this
evening, when we hope to see a full house.
ROYAL PRoGREss.-On Monday afternoon last,
ut half past five O'Clock, His Majesty embarked on
the steamer RTIauea for a tour of the island Of
Kauai. His departure was announced by royal sal
utes from the battery on Punch Bowl Hill, and from
the U. S. S. Benicia and II. B. NJ. S. Tenedos. The
ships also manned yards while the steamer was
passing out Of the harbor. His Majesty is accom-
napied by His Ex. the Governor Of Kauai, the Hons.
Major Moehonua, John Cummins, Simon Kaai and
Major Boyd. Nh. Berger and his band also form a
part of the train. About two thousand persons as
to witness the embarkation, and as the YES
sci moved from the wharf there was great cheering.
His Majesty will probably be absent until Saturday
next, and will, we are advised, proceed to Hawaii
and Maui at an early date.
