To the Editor Of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser 1:
SIR viii you allow me a space in your columns
for the purpose of offering a few suggestions in rela-
ton to the soon to be lack of revenue.
We are well aware of the fact, that q great portion
of the revenue of this kingdom is derived from duties
on goods. When the Reciprocity Treaty goes into
effect, which will be within a year, go much of the
revenue as is derived from the Custom House, will be
wanting, and the question arises, how can it be made
up? In the first place,-we have a large sum set
apart to build a new steamer; would it not be better
for the interests of the many to ascertain if o serv-
iceable steamer cannot be got in San Francisco, or
parties owning steamers, be induced to bring one or
two here and do our f~reighting on shares, instead of
b~enefting the few, by building one here7 and keep
ing the amount yet to BE- raised in the Treasury, if
raised.
Next, by a law, wise or otherwise, it is provided
that persons selling the products of the kingdom are
not obliged to take out licenses. l may safely say
this is the only country known where one class Of
traders are compelled to pay a license and others can
sell the same goods without paying license,
When this law was passed, it no doubt was the in
tention to benefit the poor native, with his little kalo
or potato patch, but that time has passed. Now
milk, butter, eggs, vegetables, etc. etc, are sold in
large and small quantities from door to door. Why
should these people,-peddlers.-b exempt from pay
ing a license? All cities and towns in America de-
rive a large income from these itinerant ~peddlers.
and there is nothing to be said against licensing
them,-unless by interested persons.
Again. Why can't we have a good Toll Road made
through not oUsr the pail? 1t would bring q revenue
in more ways than one; it woull enhance the value
of property on the other side of the Island, besides
giving US a delightful drive. We have a crotcd of
lazy prisoners who could be put at that kind of work
with the greatest advantage, even if they don't make
more than six feet a day.
We want a large Reservoir,-an appropriation has
been made ,-has there been anything done about it :
We all know how scanty our supply of water is, and
also how willingly people would pay for more water
if they could get it.
have no doubt the foregoing remarks and sug-
g~estions will be opposed by some; but as I, with many
others, feel that the subjects are worthy of consider
atiOn, and are really of Importance, 1 beg pardon for
trespassing on your valuable columns.

Where music, and moonlight, and squealing,

PAwNBRoKERS.-lt is not generally known that
We have pawn-sbOps in Honolulu, but through the
medium of evidence given in the Police Court, we
have learned the fact The "uncles who stand
ready here to advance a temporary loan on valu-
ables deposited are Cinnamon, OF the lower class,
either petty store-keepers or others who having
amassed a little capital in ready cash stand ready
to accommodate" those whose extravaganza or
necessi, les force them to borrow. The customers
Of these pawnbrokers are natives almost entirely,
and the articles pledged are curiously varied, from
gold watches and silk dresses, through a long list,
down to calabashes. OF course, when-we remem-
Der the characteristics of the parties to this bust
ness-the rapacity of the one and the tboughtless
improvidence and ignorance Of the other-the pro-
portion Of profit must be enormous.
TIE KmAuEA-We are graiifed in being able to
state that the delay for repairs to our inter island
steamer will not be so long as had been anticipated.
After removing a portion of the ballast so that she
was brought several streaks out of the water, on
Thursday last the leak was found. in the stem. 1t
was caused by the decay of a piece of timber put
in some two or three years since when the vessel
was up for repairs. The steamer will be ready to
resume her regular trips on Thursday next, when
she will proceed to Nawiliwili. On Monday. the
3lst. she goes to windSard ports. In this conuec-
ton our attention has been called by Capt. Mar
chant to a statement in yesterdays Z" Daily Bulle-
tin" which is calculated to give an injurious i'm
preston to some. Therein it was said that the
injury to the RiLG,ea'S stem was ' probably caused
by her coming into collision with the wharf
Nothing can be more unfounded than the animation
that the steamer, under her present master, would
be likely to collide with the wharf, or with any
thing else harder than salt water. Capt. Ms rep
utation as a careful and skillful commander stands
too high in this community to suffer from such an
insinuation. But as we have said before. the state
ments of the = Daily Bulletin " are to be taken az
serious jokes only.

THE CAPTURE OF THE yIRGINIUS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The following editorial
article appeared in the Spanish newspaper
Ei Gronista, published in this city, on the
Both ult
"We see by the latest newspapers from
Madrid that the Council of State has
given its decision in regard to the cap
ture of the Virginius, declaring it was a good
prize, and that the government had right
to exact the return of that vessel by the Gov
eminent of the United States, and as that
could not be done on account of the vessel
having sunk after it went into the hands OF
the American authorities, the Spanish Gov
eminent had right to claim her value.
eve believe in view of this decision that
our government will at once claim from the
government at Washington the value of the
vessel, and that that government will hasten
to hand it over with the same alacrity as was
shown by us in respect to the $4,000 which
was given for the survivors of the crew of
the pirate vessel"
