HoNoLULu, Dec. 10, 1873.
The latest news from the King at Hawaii is not
what could be wished. His health is not improved,
and it is feared that he Will not rally from mis- pres.
ent condition. From all can learn his complaint
is pulmonary one. All oil the chiefs and chief
tainesses are with him. and he mains as cheerful
and entertaining as ever. In some addresses
which he has made to the people he has seemingly
aimed to give them such advice as a father would
to family or children. His thoughts about the
duties OF ruler and subjects are said to be most
liberal in their tendency. In an allusion to the
past he d:-''rime was when you would not
dare to let your shadow fall your King, while
to-day we approach one another on terms of conn.,
dence and familiarity for the exchange OF
thoughts" He was also pleased to refer TO the
abors OF the American missionaries In most gra-
clous manner, setting forth the very benecent re-
suits OF their work. His ideas OF government are
so liberal as to border on republlcansm, and, az
matter oIcourse, not much relished by some OF his
company,
the Hon. David Kaakana, VINO is next in rank
as CHIEF aud decidedly the most popular with
setting forth some thoughts on tho past.
present and future OF this kingdom. The
aim OF the letter IL evidently TO conciate the for
eigners, who cannot forgive the failure OF the cess
sion movement and to assure them OF his devotion
to the constitution and laws of the Kingdom.
Coming just at this time the letter Is most sig
nihcanr. 1t Is thought that II queen Dowager
Emma will give up her claims the King will nomi-
nate ana proclaim KaaKana his successor; other
wise he VIII let the people vote for the succession
IN which case Kalakana Is sure OF an election.

Interesting Wharfag &c Case.

Before Judges Davis, Daniels and D0nonue.
Daniels Sweet, who are agents Of line Of
canal boats, occupied portion Of pier 4. East
River, for oflces, for many years, and paid the
lessee OF the pier. Frederick Cushman, $50 q
month, as they state for services in superintend-
ing the boats, but as he alleges for reht In 1873
they refused to pay the $50 month, and he took
proceedings to dispossess them, and Judge Quinn,
Of the First District Court, granted the warrant Of
dispossession, on the ground that the relations Of
landlord and tenant mad been established bet
the parties. The case came up yesterday In this
Court on appeal, ana Mr.. Mcmahon argued for the
appellants that the wnarves are public thorough
fares, and no portion could be occupied for any
purpose than loading and unloading, and no
charge, except the statutory wharfage, could
legally be made that even II there were hiring
by the parties it was nudum pactum by which
the appellants should agree to pay anything more
than the wharfage. On the other side 1t was ar
gued by Mr. Benedict that the Dongan charter
gave lessees right NOS only to receive wharfage
but rent for use OF the piers. The Court took the
papers, reserving Its decision
