NATIVE sIoKNEss.-Many exaggerated reports arc
current concerning fevers and other complaints
among the natives. Among others a report was
brought 10 last week that eight or ten natives
. Of Waiauae on this island had died OF erysipelas.
! The Board Of Health Immediately despatched DR..
Hutchinson and one Of its members to learn the
facts. They found one person sick with a fever,
and one or two more with other complaints, but not
sign Of eryspelas either existing or as having been
there lately. This is a fair sample Of the way in
which exaggerated reports of sickness start. The
promptness Of the Board Of Health in investigating
the matter is worthy Of commentator.
STEAMER MIKADo.-This fast ship arrived on Fri.
day morning, one day ahead OF her usual time. Al
though she had full number OF passengers on board
aud every berth was occupied, she Standardized about
twenty-five more passengers at this port A large
crowd was attracted TO the steamer wharf to wit
ness her departure at y noon on Saturday, aud
BerEer's Band appeared and discoursed music on
the occasion. We doubt whether the passengers OF
these steamers are honored with music at any other
port,-and the fact that they leave Honolulu with
the sweet melodies of corps of well-drilled musi.
Clans, borne on the breeze after them must give
them pleasant memories OF the place. The Mikado

PRoNorED.-The friends Of Mr. Adamson, former.
y United States Consul at this port will be pleased
to hear that he has been appointed Consul General
for Melbourne. The Age Of that city, says Last
nights Ga-efte contains the appointment OF Mr..
Adamson as sul-General for the United States
Z Nj Adamson has hitherto represented bis country
In the character Of consul and the enlargement of
his rank, therefore, gives him position very little
short Of the status Of an envoy extraordinary In bis
old capacity be has always identified himself with
the Interests OF the community in winch he has re-
sided, and there are very few of our institutions
which have not received the benefit of his expert
ence- Though technically foreigner, be has made
Us recollect that be has sprung from the race
as ourselves, and that If not brothers, are at
least knsfolk Of the great nation to which he be-
longs Mr.. Adamsou's promotion viii be regarded
almost much q compliment TO this community as
to himself
