The typhOon at Nsgasaki, Japan, in August last,
has probably never been exceeded in destruction by
any previous similar visitation. It occurred on
August 20, and on that day there were 800 vessels
in the harbor. OF these but ten escaped, all the
others being sunk or stranded. The chief vessel was
tie iron-clad ram Stonewall. which was sunk, but it
is thought can be saved, although extensive repairs
will be necessary. The harbor, after the storm,
presented a scene Of sad devastation, being strewn in
all directions with wrecks, while the despoiled owners
were gazing at the ruin from the shore.

OF ATE, there has evidently been a very con-
siderable increase Of drunkenness among the ma
tivepopulation Of this city. This is manifest in
thefincreased number Of cases that have come be-
fore the Police Court, as well as in the frequency
with which intoxicated natives are seen on the
street. II has been the practice in that Court
during a number of years past, in each case of
simple drunk -unaccompanied with noisy or quar-
relsome conduct, and where the party pleaded
guilty, to inHiet a fine Of two dollars only. In
view however OF the rapid increase of this vice,
and the shameless, nonchalant manner with which
the natives Z" acknowledge the corn" and pay
the very slight fine, His Honor the Police Magis-
trate has concluded to change the practice of his
Court as to the uniform penalty to be imposed in
cases of = only drunk and he gave notice on
Tuesday last, that hereafter, the price of the lux
ury would be five dollars and costs. This is done
with the hope that the increased penalty will
operate in some degree to check the growing vice.
This deplorabIe prevalence of drunkenness is
mainly owing to the facilities afforded the natives
for getting liquor during the shipping season,
when discharged seamen mingle freely among
them. There are several places in the purlieus of
Maunakea street, (which has long been the Alsa-
tia Of Honolulu) where liquor is to be had in
plenty from illicit dealers. We are told of a
Chinaman living in that locality, who regularly
takes his gin out of the Custom House by the FIVE
gallon demiohn; and we are further told that the
traffic is so carefully managed that all attempts to
FIX the fact Of selling on those concerned in it
have heretofore failed. The poor natives who are
being ruined and poisoned, cannot be prevailed
upon to betray their destroyers. The regular
dealers, who pay a heavy license, would gladly
help to break up this Illicit business, which of
course Injuries their trade; but the Police appear
to be powerless in the matter. 1t would seem
strange that some means cannot Be devised where
BY to put an end to this notorious business of I'M
licensed liquor selling in our midst.

MORE LIGHT ON COIN.

The Gazcle asks for light on the subject Of the
causes Of the changes in our circulating me
dinm." We are hopeless that anything viii en-
Tighten that journal upon the principles which
regulate money. 1t il one Of those principles,
that underVaIued coins disappear from the market,
while over-valued coin comes first and stays long
est. Call a penny a shilling, and see how many
shilling pieces will remain in circulation. And
yet the Gazette argued for the recent change Of
fixing the currency value Of British gold
above its commercial value, in the useless hope
that the health of our circulating medium would
be improved by thus debasing its real value, or
what is the same thing, initiating its current
value. The result Of course followed, that
pieces Of gold coin that have been boarded find
their way into circulation" 1t may also be
true. although we hope not, that American sill
yer coins are sent out Of the country as remit
tances.'' Silver coin abroad is legal tender only
for small debts, and in renting it, we lose both
the exchange and the difference between its com
mercial or intrinsic value there and in this coun-
try. As it is, enquire here for a hundred dollars
in gold, and its price ard scarcity may lead one to
suspect that all wisdom will not die with the
financial theories that have thus far prevailed
among US.
The day is sure to come, when the debased cur
rency which now 10 legal tender TO any amount
will be replaced by the correct gold basis, with
the American standard both for gold aad silver.
Perhaps some will continue for a few years 10 H.
sist that the laws of political economy and of
money do not apply to this Kingdom, and that
those who say they do are visionary theorists and
bOok-readers; but eventually it will be found
that those practical views are the most unsafe
which are not based on sound theory.

81 never forget my old associates and haunts. and
the green spot in my memory is that island life. I
could worship y cocoanut tree and make sacrifices to
Pele, and even look at q wooden god with mild re-
spect. This country has much-but no romance.
The Central Park Gardens are beautiful, with their
fine orchestra; but a regular ETGu would be q thou
sand times richer. There are lots Of big ships and
bridges and buildings here. The land is full of big
runs to that: but it has little to nv
mind that is great or sublime Counting out the
war. the Hawaiian has had q far deeper experience of
grandeur than the average American. There could
be nothing more sublime than the artillery duel of
two grand armies, such as we had for three hours at
Gettysburg by day, and many nights at Petersburg;
but such scenes have forever shifted from American
soil, and the boys Of America are destined to q sort
OF commercial existence, with much humdrumb and
grind in it, and almost without ene Of Natures or
LIES best inspirations. Happy are they who can
drink Of the Punahou, and view the Pacific from
Tantaluo! The mud-pie period Of life is after all the
~happiest; it is nowhere 80 prolonged and satisfying
as on Oahu.
The genius of the 18th Century is too much for
the individual life. One man don't mean much here.
Prominence is less and less possible, by reason Of
more perfect organization. Look into q big factory
in New England, and you feel as if you we're inferio.
in intelligence to some of those machines. The mod
ern printing press has an overpoWering presence.
You feel wiped out when you look into q colossal
foundry. Nature is neutrality-suspicious., her first
and strongest law is conquered by the Elevator. 1t
is easier to go up than 60 down. Our old friend D.
NJ. Weston, who makes these machines, laughs at
Newton, who shakes his spiritual 6st at him in vain.
"The Hawaiian expands in the free and boundless
air of the Pacific in intense sympathy with Nature,
educated. drawn outward and upward by her. He
is not driven back upon himself by the superhuman
energy of iron and steel in their organized forms.
He can reach the tops Of the mountains where God
speaks. The undevout Polynesian is mad.
