UNNECESSARY PREcAUTIoN.-That is what the pub
lie say on Sunday afternoons, when taking a stroll
on the Esplanade and finding the ~gateways of the
steamship wharf closed and locked. There can
surely be no harm in leaving them open on that day
for citizens and women and children to promenade
through in search of fresh air from the harbor,
especially when there are no ships at hand from
which to smuggle. For it was to prevent smuggling
that the gates are said to have been placed there.

DEEPENING THE HARBoR-The fact that the Re
pulse cannot enter our port because drawing too
much water, brings TO mind the subject of deepening
the bar, which was much discussed in former years.
We believe the conclusion arrived ut by those skilled
in such matters was, that however much we might
remove the sand at the bar-where only is the prn-
cipal accumulation-yet at the recurrence of 8
"Kona" or Southern storm, it would fill up again.
1t was asserted that the only way to keep the
entrance clear, after having once ~deepened it. would
be to build a submarine wall on each side, for it was
held that the sand comes into the entrance from
along the reef, and not from seward, where the
water deepens very rapidly. The engineering Diff
culties in the case are surely not insurmountable, and
the subject is well worth consideration.

CAYxIBALIsN AT THE MARQUEsAs-Letters from
Tahiti received in San Francisco state that war was
raging on the island Of Dominica, one of the Mar
quesas group, between rival chiefs, and that after
one of their battles seven captives vera slaughtered
and eaten. 81 soon as the news reached Tahiti the
French authorities dispatched a war steamer and a
revenue cutter to the island to attempt to capture
the cannibals. Says a letter
"a complaint has been lodged with the French
oficials. that the American whaling vessel Helen
SnoIU touched ct the island Of Dominica some time
ago and sold the natives 5000 pounds Of powder,
q quantity Of lead and a number Of old muskets.
The vessel came from Honolulu, where, it is said,
she purchased the articles mentioned. Il p against
the law to sell or in any way trade such articles to
the natives, so that if the Helen SEor is captured
and found guilty, as charged, we shall have compli-
cations Of an international character upon 'ou-
hands. One thing is certain, that it Is only by the
greatest vigilance Of the English md the French
war vessels in the South Seas that the natives are
saved from pirate Captains. like the notorious
"Bully" Hays and others Of his kind. Strange to
say the fercest and most bioodthirsty pirates and
Ean-stealers of the South Sea islands are English
men or Americans. "Bully" Hays Of Slmos boasts
that he was born in Yankee land"

AMEDIco WITHOUT DIPLoMA.--The following from
an Australian paper shows that the same questions
have arisen there that have attracted attention with
US:
"There has been q great legal and medical contest
Of late in Victoria concerning the attempt TO get a
gentleman named zee Kwok Ping q certificate as 3
duly qualified medical practitioner. In his own
country he has a certificate Of the best kind, show
ing that he has proved his intimate knowledge of the
Eve external and seven internal pulses, but the
medical authorities have deemed this insufficient,
and the Supreme Court has upheld them in refusing
10 register the IS Chinese Doctor" In the mean
time, however, zee Kwok Ping has an immense
practice as o ~herbalist, and as he cannot take a fee
be is forced to sell small packets Of herbs at a sufi-
Gent price to remunerate him. His cures are said
TO be marvellous. His friends say that be effects
complete cures in cases which the regular medical
men deem hopeless, and one Of his great triumphs
was a case in which a Dunedin medical man had
concurred in the opinion Of his Victorian brethren,
and zee KWok Ping cured the patient in spite Of
them all. How much is true and how much false in
oil these stories it is hard to say, but certain it is
that DIR. Ping is making a very good practice"

\ COLLISION AND A SUIT N ADMIRALTY.-On
Monday last while the steamer CyphTeRes, from
Australia, was coming up the harbor, from some
cause she came into collision with the British ship
RaUensiOnedaIs, lying stern on near the end of the
Esplanade and carried away that ships ~bowsprit.
The steamer sustained no perceptible damage,
and proceeded on her voyage to San Francisco on
Tuesday. She was however libelled in the Admit
rally Court by the Captain Of the RaUenstOnedale,
preliminary proceedings being had before the Master,
". r. Seal, Esq, and bonds were given Ia the sum
Of $4,000 by the agents of the steamer TO abide
the issue. Thursday last was occupied in taking
testimony before Chief Justice Allen, and briefs Of
counsel in the case will be submitted on Tuesday
next. Mr.. A S. Hartwell for the Libellant: Messrs.
Preston and O'Halloran for Libellee.

of the balloting the jury stood nine for acnuittsl,
two for conviction and one willing to go either way.
Classified thus For acquittal all the Mormons, one

tiles for conviction. The jury we're released and the
case continued for the term.

The TYPE-WRITER.- Wonders will never cease
is the first thought on seeing in operation this " ma
chine intended to s~upersede the pen for common
writing 1t looks very much like a common sewing
machine, but is worked with keys similar to those Of
a piano, touching which with the finger produces
the letters On paper held on a roller at the top of the
machine 1t is asserted by those who have used it
and the testimonials are numerous-that it is so
easily harmed that any person with two weeks prac-
tice can write with it faster than with the pen. 1t
has twice the speed of the pen. An expert can
write readily sixty words a minute. By using
carbon sheets, a number Of copies can be made
ct the same time. Reporters, lawyers, clerks. mer-
chants, ministers, and oil professional writers who
have tried the typewriter, speak enthusiastically
of it. Says a stenographer of Brooklyn, N. Y:
{" rank it next to my wife; am enthusiastic over it
and regard it as an invention that is to be as univer-
isally adopted as the sewing machine, the steam
engine, or the printing press By the last mail
we received q letter from L. McCully, Esq, now at
the East, written with the typewriter, the use of
which he learned in a very brief space Of time.
This remarkable invention can be seen at the store
of Dillingham; & Co., King street, Mr.. Z. C. Damon
having been appointed agent foE the sale on these
Islands.

SUGAR GROWING at Waialua on this island appears
to be prospecting. The natives, in their dealings
with Mr.. Thomas Hughes, the owner Of the mill
there, are encouraged to plant extensively, on terms
that are apparently advantageous to both parties,
the cane being ground On halves. We hear Of one
native who recently received 5000 in cash for his
seasons work. We expect to see the culture Of
sugar very much increased erelOug in that part Of
the island, where the land is peculiarly adapted to

CABor.-lho antiquarian supper given on the
eve of the 9th by the ladies Of the Congregational
society, at Union Hall, was largely attended, and
a very successful affair All the old clothes
plates platters, earhen bowls, knives and forks
etc, were brought out Of their long solitude, aud
made to do service, as they had done for many
gay and festive throng in former days The
many ancient dishes that were served, and the
fair hands that prepared them, we cannot enumer-
ate but we must speak Of some Of them The
election cake, made by Mrs. Abigail sanhom
eighty nine yean OF age, was a rarity that is sell
dom enjoyed at the present day, rs was the bean
Porrdge, huled-corn, pumpldn-pios and the enor-
nous plates OF boiled yictuals all Of which pre-
scented a novel and interesting appearance to the
young and middle aged. The bean-porridge, we
leaned, vas made by Mrs, Caleb Fisher and Mrs.
Bckford, which showed that they had been well
acquainted with such provisions In their younger
days while the huge ld-iashiOned tallOw-candles,
made by Mrs j. L. Adams, were a curiosity 10
the young folks aud for certainty they were
voted 10 be counting candles. The young Old
gradma, and the young old man, IN his blue swal-
low-tailcd coat, attracted good degree Of atten-
ton. The rules Of the society were somewhat
suspended, so that several hours were added 10
the usual time given for these interviews, and all
voted II fnst rate-time, and hoped these ancient
suppers would be celebrated Oftener In time 10
come Ibiny-seyen dollars above expenses WAS
realized
