The Rioters Sentenced.

On Wednesday last in the Supreme Court, the
forty-one persons convicted during the previous
week of having participated, with more or less of
criminality, in the riot of February last, were
brought up and sentenced. Four were sentenced
to Imprisonment for five years each FIVE to three
wears; one to two years and three to eighteen
months. Twenty-seven were condemned to pay
fines varying from one dollar up to two hundred.
In discharging the native jury Mr.. Associate
Justice Harris addressed them as follows:
GENTLEMEN labors during the term have
been most arduous. The occasion which gave rise
to the trials in which you have performed so i'm
portant a part, was a grievOus one to all friends to
this nation. But as in human affairs, evil is mixed
with good. so likewise there is no evil without
some good mixed with it. The quietness, good
order and decorum with which these trials have
gone on. has given assurance that good order reigns
amongst the people, and that public opinion will
Justify no man and no combination of men in the
disturbance of the public peace.
If the disturbance shall have the effect to repress
wrong teaching and to make the people to appre-
ciate the blessings of good government and order,
and to understand that liberty can only be retained
by conforming TO the lew, and By obedience to the
constituted authOritles-the not Will not be with
OFT its good effect.
in the meantime your country may well congrat-
ulate itself upon the diligence, almness and DELHI.
Grafton, with which you have investigated these
cases. and the discrimination Of which you have
given evidence in your verdlcts. 1t does not
appear to me that any of those who have been
convicted can possibly think that all the evidence
and every circumstance in their favor has not been
duly weighed by you, whilst in looking upon the
acquittals, I can truly say that there has been in
all of them at least a reasonable doubt, and your
vsrdicts have been equally crfditable 10 you.

Con SAVE THE KINn

II ne Eitor Of ne Pacific Commercial advertiser
SIR 1t Is more with 8 view toward difusing cor
rec, Information than with a critical disposition that
| would notice two or three statements with respect
to distances. heights, SC. that have appeared in
print Of late.
In speaking Of the speed Of one Of our island
craf, the distance from this harbOr TO BARRIERS
Point was stated to be 10 miles. The true distance
from the Honolulu lighthouse to the signal on the
extreme end Of BARRIERS Point, (LAoloa) is In round
numbers IS 800 feet. or a little less than Ia nautical
miles. or sixteen statute miles. the former being Of
course used for all estimates Of speed at sea. II may
be added here that from the lighthouse 10 the sun.
nit Of Diamond Head, OLeahi) is just four sea miles;
thence 20 Koko Head mot " Coco - is six more;
thence to Makapuu four more; so that a vessel CONF
ing down the North Molokai Channel sails fifteen
miles, allowing Cor the necessary detOur at sea. from
the exireme east point Of this island to the entrance
Of Honolulu harbor.
In a report Of the rainfall in Nuuanu valley the
Rev. l.. Smiths residence was spoken Of as about
coo feet above the sea. One hundred and seventy
FIVE would probably be nearer the truth. A few hg-
ures here may be Of interest Tho corner Of Kukui
and Nuuanu streets is II feet above the sea or
School and Nuuanu streets, 80 feet; the second
bridge, II feet, (the same as Punahou); Judd street
about 1856; the entrance to the Patty premises. 2i0
feet; Queen Kalama's, $50 feet; and the Pail. l,22G
feet. 1t will be seen that n GOO foot level would
strike somewhere in the neighborhood OF the lille
brand milk rank. Punchbowl Hill furnishes a good
standard of comparison for moderate heights, being
just five hundred feet, lacking one foot and a hAlfa
at its highest point. A good standard for a miles
distance on a road is the following From the gate
of the Catholic cemetery TO the Pawaa bridge
(McCully's corner) is an exact statute mile.
The crater Of Haleakala (Which does not mean
"house Of the sun y is repeatedly stated TO be
twenty-seven miles in circumference. giving to read
ers an idea of a diameter Of nine miles. This crater
which is shaped like an l., or perhaps a moderately
crook-necked squash, is seven miles in length by
three in width. Its entire periphery. including the
width of the kaupo and Koolau Gaps" where
they leave the crater walls, is nineteen miles. The
reader is referred TO Prof Alexander's good map Of
this celebrated crater, Photographic copies Of which
are for sale in town.
The above figures arc all reliable. being mostly
from government survey data.

wanted-An Agricultural Society.
Maui, April I'd, 1874.

MAUI, April I'd, 1874. y
To the Editor Of the Pacific Commercial advertiser
1t is with much satisfaction that I notice that an
effort is being made to wake the ROYAL AGRrcuL-
TURAL SOCIETY into active life; aud ! sincsslY -haya.
that the near future will show that tf1reTfs faith
enough left in the value Of systematic effort, 10 in
duce individuals interested in agriculture here 10
join together for the purpose Of increasing the num-
Der and value of our products.
Without caring one iOta for the reasons that
caused the old Association to droop and die, I would
like to give a few why it should be resuscitated.
In the first place there is an opportunity present.
ed, through the medium Of Society correspondence,
for impartiDg much useful information to all in re-
gard to experiments made in various directions.
There are but few people on the islands,-more
especially in the rural districts,-who are not directly
and in many cases warmly interested in tree-plant-
ing. And yet, beyond certain vague rumors Of fine
groves Of trees here or o young plantation there, we
know very little what measure Of success or failure
has been the reward Of those who have tried 10 in
troduce foreign trees on the islands. We would all
like to know how many and what kind Of trees have
been set out in various districts; what are the best
kinds for different localities; what is the best method
in practical tree-planting, &C.. SC.
Again, there are many districts overrun with the
"cut worm" What we want TO know is what you
are going to do about IL; when to plant TO escape
their ravages; and l may add, what is the most eff
cacious, concise and pungent form Of objurgation;
what the most compact and telling liturgy TO be used
when visiting a field Of newly sprouted vegetables
where they have been at work over night.
The Society could also obtain seeds fresh and in
quantity to much better advantage than individuals
can A recent communication on this subject, touch
ing upoz the practices of certain dealers in seeds
in Honolulu, brings this part Of the subject into bold
relief.
There are many subjects that would come up be-
fore the Society that would be of interest though not
strictly agricultural. For instance. 1t is said that
Captain Makee has a large number Of Eucalypti on
his plantation. Why hot not send then for Che
LUxATED HoSEY-EATER, (MsLithreptss ismuIatus) a

trees. Its nest is pensile and very handsome; the
bird itself is a very pretty one and useful. Other
birds. some beasts,-not the kind Mr.. Waterhouse
wants thought few reptiles, etc, would DO useful
additions to the fauna Of the islands.
We want to know also all about Angora Goats;
and il would be interesting TO know how they get
along here. But / do not think there Is any oeca-
sion for ne to enumerate any more wants; they are
all comprised in onei Ne want an active Agricul-
tural Society. OCCASIONAL.

Some time after arriving at Waikiki, His Majesty
inquired for Gov. Kanoa, who had not yet put in an
appearance. Some one had seen him when the cav
aEade left Kalepolepo, and it was thought that per-
hips he had stopped to rest on the road. But when
be did not appear On the next morning, messengers
we're sent in search Of him. During the forenoon,
be arrived pretty well exhausted, having got bewil-
dered on the plains and ridden all night. He de-
clared that becoming separated from the party, he
had followed what he thought was the road until
uightfall, when seeing q light in the distance which
he supposed proceeded from a house he rode towards
it, only to find it to disappear. while in another
direction a new light appeared, which also in turn
eluded his search, and SO on, he was the victim of
