OZARK IoLANI.-Phisn new vessel, which arrived
from Newcastle-on-Tyne on Thursday last is a fine
specimen of naval architecture of 862 tons register,
staunch and strong as wood and iron can make
her, and withal very handsomely put together.
Her cabin accommodation are very ample, and
the ornamental woodwork is really splendid,
equal in design and finish to that of a ~Grst-class
passenger ship, while the accommodations for the
crew, in a house on deck, are roomy, airy and
clean to a degree that would satisfy the greatest
stickler for " sailors rights" She was built near
Bremen ia 1876, for her owners, Messrs. II. Hack
field 4 Co., for the Pacific trade, and halls from
Honolulu. She will, after discharging cargo, pro-
coed hence to San Francisco to partly load with
wheat, returning here to finish loading for Europe.

The VOLCANo.-The Kldued on Sunday brought
very exciting accounts of a fresh and appar-
emily large outbreak of Madam Pele on Mauna
iLoa, and quite a number of excursionists took pas
sage on Tuesday to inspect the seventh wonder Of
the world. The light was FIRST seen from Hilo on
the night of the 18th, apparently in the old pit
crater of ~Mokuaweoweo, and the opinion was ex-
pressed by some that there was a flow of lava on
the west side of Mauna Loa. The schooners Prince
and Annie, which arrived from Kona and Kau
during the week, do not however report any erup-
ton, and it may prove that the fire is confined to
the summit crater.

I AMERICAN RELIEF FUND.-This very useful insti-
tuition is not in as hourishing circumstances as we
could wish and as it ought to be. The report of
the Treasurer, a. j. Cartwright, Esq., at the an
nual meeting held on the 22d inst, shows that the
entire receipts for the year were $ll63.96, Of
which $795.75 had been expended in relief, and
81 for expenses, leaving a balance of $36l.21 on
hand. There are four persons now receiving re-
lief from the fund, to the amount OF $3.50 per
week in the aggregate. The annual subscription
to the fund is only six dollars, and it is hoped that
American citizens throughout the islands will take
this as a personal appeal to them to come up 10
the help of this worthy charity-the American
Relief Fund.

DURING the night from Monday to Tuesday, what
may be supposed to have been the last Kona storm
of the season, took leave Of Honolulu in quite an
amiable way. The streets had received during the
night a refreshing sprinkliDg Of rain which laid the
dust for several days, and hardened the streets for
good travelling; a few awnings having served for a
long while their purposes, Gone of which belonged
to the "Old Corner,' Mr.. NOlte's) were rather
rudely torn from their places and purloined by the
storm; the crop of young mangoes received q judi
eious thinning out; and altogether the kona acted 10
a very lovely manner. We are now entering upon
the season when we may expect q daily advance in
temperature and perhaps drought. and when the
days come in which the lean and the bony rejoice
with a malicious grin over the fat. How we shall
sigh for another kona. The stormy night was fol-
lowed by a beautiful morning, such as only can be
found here. The wind came from the northWard as
cool and soft and delicious as o virgins breath, and
the harbor, where but q few hours before the waves
dashed against the wharves and the sides Of the
coasters and ships in rude shocks, looked as smooth
and placid, toying with the beams Of the sun as be
rose over the mountains, as if no storm had ever
rufied its surface. The vessels, large and small.
three-masted aud one-masted, had all their sails
hoisted for drying, as if rejoicing to be freed from
the long blockade of southerly winds, aud indeed
the harbor presented an unusually bright appearance.
The unlucky schooner that had been nearly twice
drowned and twice resuscitsted, was toWed to the
~ship-yard looking as saucy as when she started on
her Inflated trip. The new schooner CGtarinG laid
at the wharf, taking on board freight for her first
voyage on her regular route to the landing places on
the other side of this island. Painted white and her
new coat shining in the sun as bright as new psint
could make her, with her neat sails hoisted up, she
looked indeed the little queen of our island feet.
Her broad beam promises ample accommodations,
and the ease and grace with which she sat on the
water with a full load on board, gave ample evidence
that she never can be overloaded. After q few turns
in the harbor to show herself, like q very coquette.
started of on her first voyage, and we have no hest
tstion in predicting that she will play her part well
in the future home-trade Of Oahu.
