Pacific Coast.


Waddell, who came here in command of
the new Pacific Mail steamer City of
San Francisco, will not take charge of
that ship on her first trip to Sidney via
Honolulu owing to the fact of his arrest
and trial on charge of piracy which is
threatened him on his arrival at Hona-
lulu. When the rebel steamer Shenan-
doah, commanded by Waddell, made a
dash at the whaling fleet in the Attic
during the last year of the war she de-
stroyed among other vessels the bark
Harvest, owned by subjects Of the Ha-
waiian Kingdom. Secretary Seward de-
nounced Waddell as pirate, and on his
return to England with the Shenandoah
he was tried by the British Court and
exonerated on the ground that the Harry
est hoisted the American colors instead
of her proper flag. As Captain WaddelI
would be undoubtedly detained on his
arrival at Honolulu Captain Lachlan will
take his place until arrangements can be
perfected to insure Waddell freedom from
molestation by the Hawaiian authorities.
