HARD TO BEAT, says the Gazette respecting the
passage from Hilo of the Fanny. She certainly
made good time. From Hilo to Honolulu is 1872
miles. Last Thursday the old coaster Ramaile,
Capt. KibliDg, arrived of this port from Kons, at
3 O'Clock q. m. having left Kailua at 1Oa IN. the
previous day. From Kailua to Honolulu is 147
miles.
An ALARM OF fire was given last night, that scared
those whose celebration of the day had been so
moderate that they slept lightly. 1t was caused
by the burning of some unimportant dry goods,
and was put out by a policeman. who in this in
stance had found his use. The Fire Department
did not turn out-No. Us Jumper" alone ex-
cepted.
QUICK TRIP.-The pilot boat Funny, late of San
Francisco and purchased thence by Mr.. W. H. Reed,
of Kapapala. Hawaii, made the passage from Hilo
to Honolulu in "a hours. The vessel which once
did in q hours was the Emma Rookie, and not the
Kate Lee, as reported by the Gazette. Strong
trades, in either case.
