three Concerts by the band. Or Saturday night

THE EcIIPsE last Saturday was not so much OF
an affair as had been anticipated; the darkness was
not deeper than is often experienced in a rain-squail.
and the chickens never thought of going 30 roost.
1t being a cloudy morning. smoked glass was at a
discount.
ToucH HHh UP.-The operator at the outer marine
telegraph station should be looked after. The Cap

afternoon, but was not sigualized. -

say that both Kilauea and Mama Loa were quiet
and apparently dead, week ago, although only
a month since they were quite active. It is sup

preparatory to a renewed punching up Of the .ares

TROUBLE AT WAsHINGToN.-Gen. Belknap, the
of War has been impeached by the
House of Representatives for f' high crimes and
misdemeanors," in selling the monopoly OF a
trading post out west. 1t is reported that Belknap
has fallen through his wife's love OF style and dis
play.
THE SCHOONER FLEEr.-The fila of the 18th,
speaking of the projected departures of the OLssgo,
Flying Mis- and Fanny on their usual sea otter
hunt, says there was a little betting as to which YES
sci would reach Honolulu first. The Alta bets on
the Fanny, but we believe there was not much diff.
ference between her time and that of the Flying
Mist. But the Bonanza made the champion pas
sage, so far.
THE BoNANzA.-This beautiful schooner, now the
property of our friend the whilom journalist ]. II.
Black, Esq, made the run down from San Francisco
in steamer time-eleven days-and he says he could
have made it in nine, if he had kept a strong breeze.
The BonanS0 is bound to Petropaulski, with freight,
after discharging which she will proceed on a voyage
the direction and nature of which is best known to
her owner. We heartily wish friend Black all the
success he can desire in his new enterprise.
= THE WEATHER still continues a puzzle. Following
the eclipse and change of the moon on Saturday, we
had several days of the old fashioned island sort
sunshine and trade-winds; but on Thursday morn
ing the wind had canted again to the Southwark,
with occasional showers, while yesterday the sun
shone with the fervency of July. During March,
as we note in our exchanges, storms prevailed all over
the United States and Europe, as well as in these
latitudes.
( EXIT MEAsLEs.-The community is to be congra-
tulated upon the fact that this disease. brought here
by the last steamer from San Francisco, has disap-
peared under the care of the Board of Health with
out spreading among the people. And in this con-
nection we may remark, that had the result been
differentiated the disease spread ana become fatal
among the people-what an cutlery there would
have been against the Board Therefore let us prafsei
them for their successful management; not forgetting
the Deputy Marshal and his assistants, upon whom
have devolved very onerous duties.
For THE CENTENNIAL.-Among the passengers
booked for the East per steamer Grenada, Is the
Rev. S. c. Damon, of the Bethel Congregational
Church and society. DR. Damon has for over thirty
years past oficiated with great acceptance as Sea-
mems Chaplain Of Honolulu, and has also during
that period been the editor, as he was the founder,
of The Friend, the Oldest paper in the Pacific. We
are pleased to learn that the government has paid
DIR. D. the deserved compliment Of appointing him
one of the Hawaiian Commissioners to the Centen-
NAL at Philadelphia.
CONCERT FOR MeNDAY.-By reference to q special
notice in another column, it win be observed that q
number of our leading citizens have rendered q eom-
.plimentary benefit to Aiss Atlanti, to come of at
