His Majesty granted an audience on Thursday last,

FRIpAY OCTOBER u, 1877.

Business for the week has not partaken Of that lively nature
which it was natural to look for on the opening oil Inc TAI
guarter. and we hear considerable complaint made IN JUSTICES
circles at the sIowuess Of settlement Of quarterly accounts
leading Us to the opinion that cur community Is sunerins Iom
n very tight money market, to corrOtcrate which We learn that
r,,e. ofinterest on loans are stifening. This IS insall probability
,be natural consequence following the many extensions in
planting interests.
We note the arrival since our last Of two cargoes OF red
VOID lumber. &c, from Humboldt, and one Of Goals from
Serca,,Ie; steamer Australia from the Colonies brought but
little general ndse.
Schr LoIeta arrived yesterday with news from the Arcuc 70
August 1. and reports the feet as having done little except az
valruxsiug. particulars Of which viii be found in her report.
The LoIeta reports q fair catch and trade OF 100 bbls oil, oOO
fs bUue, 1000 fbs ivory, &c.
The departures fer the same period embrace that oil the
Matte Macleay for Portland with an export list Of S4,Ioo. ID
G. Murray and stmr Australia for San Francisco, the former
with domestic produce amounting to s32YeSS, the latter win
cargo valued at S3s,4 Ash, all clearing on the 9Th.
We are favored by Ills Elk The Minister Of Finance with the
Collector Generals export tables FOR the last quarter, as COM
pared also with that of last year, and the showing Of the nine
months. 1877 with those Of 1876, want Of space Preciudes our
comments
We are also favored by the Collector General OF Customs,
with the following table OF imports from the United states,
from Sept g, 1870, to Sept 9, 1877; as also compared with the
two preceding years, which shows an increase during the
treaty year Of 1891, s7643 over corresponding time Of 1875,
and Of s773, 1885 over 1876.

The Reciprocity Treaty has lately undergone
a judicial ordeal at San Francisco from which it
has emerged with flying colors. We hear from
the California journals that a Commission ap-
pointed by government has been lately holding
its sessions in the Californian capital, for the
object of making enquiries into the revenue de-
partments present standing; and incidentally
thus our commercial relations with the United
States under the Reciprocity Treaty have been
brought on the tapis. The evidence upon this
subject of several gentlemen, whose opinions are
of more or less weight, was taken before the
Commission in question. II. II. Ms Consul at
the port of San Fancisco, Mr.. ii. W. Severance,
was one of the gentlemen who appeared before
the Commission. Mr.. Severance made some
significant remarks he was of opinion that the
United States had stolen q march on Australia
and New Zealand in the matter of the Recipro-
city Treaty, and he seemed to think that those
British Colonies would have jumped at the good
chance which has tumbled like a windfall upon
the head of Columbia, out of the jaws of the
British Lion, or more correctly, that greedy
young Australian creature The Consul's re-
marks in this respect are a high compliment to
the originatOrs and hackers of the Reciprocity
Treaty, as well as to the diplomatists who SO
ably concluded this important business with the
United States government. The Consul also
stated that the great majority of the merchants
on their side are quite favorably disposed to-
wards the Reciprocity Treaty, a piece of infor-
nation which cannot fail to give satisfaction to
the Hawaiian commercial public. With refer
ence to tho ownership of the plantations in these
Islands, the Consul Was of opinion that three
fourths are owned by Americans, and the rest by
Germans. We believe, however, that some
British planters, as well as of other nationalities,
are to be found on these Islands. The remarks
of the Consul on the purely commercial features
of the workings of the Reciprocity Treaty were
also very important. He spoke of the great in
crease in the exports from San Francisco since
the introduction of the Treaty, which have exactly
doubled during the past twelve months, in COM
parison with those of the preceding year. He
looks forward to an increase of so per cent. in
the next six years, on the general trade, which, !

THE PACIFIC
SATURDAY. O IS.

HER ROYAL HIGHNEss the Heir Apparent and
suite left Honolulu on Monday last for the Island
of Kauai on board the schooner Marion. His
Majesty was present to bid Her Royal Highness
farewell, and a large concourse of the public
assembled to witness and cheer her departure.
The usual salute of royalty pealed from the Punch
bowl battery, and the band was in attendance,
enlivening the scene with musical strains. We
understand that the absence of the Princess Heir
apparent will extend over a period of six weeks,
as Her Royal Highness proposes to make the
tour of Kauai, and may perhaps also visit the Isle
of Niihau.

Our BROTHER Editor denies that the Attorney
General helped him to write his apology for that
gentleman. We are sorry for it; for, if he is
really the father of those Sections First, Second
and Third, which we attributed to His Excellency
himself, We regret to say that our opinion of his
good sense is somewhat staggered thereby. He
should remember that His Excellency attacked
us personally in his card to the Gazette. Then
our brother Editor took up the cudgels for His
Excellency, and rated us for simply expressing
some sympathy with a number of children whose
dishOnOr has been exposed by His ExcellencB's
procedure. Thus the matter stands.

STARvATIoN.-A report of the death by starvation.
of a man named Ehu is published in the Lahui Ha-
Daii of Thursday. The man was found in the road
near Keauhou, Hawaii. It is a matter of considera-
BILE surprise that such a sad thing can possibly occur
in this country, where sufficient at least to sustain
life is go easily procurable. We trust there is some
mistake in the rumor.

IL will be seen by the above table that duty paid goods for
the last year has nearly equalIed that OF 1876, notwithstand-
ing The admission Of so much free by treaty, though it Is TO be
borne IN mind that no small amount Of this has been fastened
into the market in anticipation Of the increase Of duties.
IL had been hoped that the Amy Turner from Boston, and
the W u Meyer from San Francisco, considered fully due,
would arrive IN time for consignees TO make their entries prior
to the change, but they have 4" failed to come to time"
The commercial and business public will scarcely need to
be reminded that the law Ieyying a duty Of rs per cent. Gd
UaIorsm on goods not exempted by the Reciprocity Treaty,
and also specific duties on other merchandise goes into effect
to-day. Importers will appreciate the fact at their next inter-
view with Collector Allen.

THE LIKELIKE.-Although the steamer Likelike
is now a private enterprise yet the public feel quite
as strong an interest in her success and safety as
when she was owned by the Government, and any
accident that may happen to her cannot be more
keenly felt by her present owner than by every
body from Hawaii to Niihau or by that other section
of people who have encountered the horrors of an
inter-island calm in one of our small coasting
schooners. All will regret to learn that she has
lost two blades of her propeller, and that Mr.. Wilder
has been obliged to order o new one. 1t is supposed
that the accident happened on her first trip to
Hawaii. Ia the meantime she does good work,
even in her partially disabled condition.

PORTRAIT OF THE LATE PRINCE art which
can transfer upon canvass in enduring colors the
lifelike likeness of a person ranks without doubt
higher in the warm timation of most people than
the faculty to fix upon canvass the pictures of
dreamland or poetry. 1t is the contest of truth and
reality with imagination, and in general the feelings
are judge. In support of the above remarks we
would call attention to the excellent portrait of the
late Prince Leleiohoku, painted by Mr.. Hansen,
nearly lifesize, and to be seen at Mr.. Dickson's gal
lery on Fort Street. The finest picture of Antony or
Cleopatra would speak with less power to the COM
munity of Honolulu. The picture of the Prince is
one of the most lifelike portraits on canvass we have
ever seen emanatiug under the artists brush, and we
advise all lovers of art to take a view of it, for he,
though dead, almost ~speaketh.

RAILROAD DISASTER.

A terrible accident occurred last
week on the Rock Island railroad near
DesMoines, la. 1t was caused by the
undermining Of strong culvert by
the freshet. Twenty persons were
killed by the accident and others in
jured.
The bridge rested on a stone deck
II feet in the clear with walls five feet
thick, but there was some weakness in
it that had not been observed, and the
unprecedented hight Of water COM
pleted the work. 1t is thought that
the freshet had so moved the bridge in
some places that there was no support
left under the rails. The bridge is APP
preached from the east around curve
and down grade. AS the train drew
near it, the engineer slackened his
speed till he came in sight of the bridge,
and, supposing that all was right
dashed upon. The channel of the
stream was 40 or so feet wide, ant
the banks about 20 feet high. The
first passenger car pitched down intC
the channel where the water was a
least Is feet deep. The next ca
plunged under this, telescoping will
it, and the next telescoping half through
both of the two preceding it. Thu
sleeping car did not go into the creek
Its occupants were Jared, but none o
them seriously hurt. The most of tn
killed were in the car in front Of tn
sleeping car.
j A witness thus describes the scene
A terrific rain was falling in torrents
accompanied by wind, lightning an
violent thunder. The crash put on
the lights, and the scene of terror ma
be imagined. The men who were no
injured and could get out went to wor
at once to rescue the living and wound
ed. They had to 60 mile to farm
house to get,axes to chop them out
but they worked heroically, and b
daylight had most of the wounde
rescued. There were many pitift

LYNDON CAMP MEETING.

One Of the best fitted up camp
grounds in Vermont is the one at Lyn-
donville. The meeting held there last
week was good one. 1t hardly be-
comes us to pass any criticism, but
yet it would seem that better order
might have been maintained. 1t does
not look right to see such large crowds
of both gentlemen and ladies stand or
walk about during service, talking and
laughing, and an efficient committee
might prevent it. The strongest SER
mon in its composition and delivery
was the sermon of j. w. Hamilton of
Boston. His subject was the Resur-
rection. A grand subject, but not a
very appropriate one for campmeeting
where people need not instruction but
to be moved to immediate action.
Rev. d. Lewis of Hardwick and Rev.
John Wilson Of Montreal gave us just
such sermons as the people need, sal
walton, free and full. In the love feast
on Friday morning 250 testified in one
hour and half. The largest gather
ing of the meeting assembled on Fri
day p, NJ, and were addressed by Rev,
A. M. Folger Of st. Johnsbury, in q
powerful sermon.
