The STEAMER Australia deserves commendation;
her accommodations for passengers are unexcep-
tionable her grand saloon is elegantly furnished,
and well ventilated. provided with a costly piano
and libraries of entertaining books. Her state
cabins are also roomy and comfortable, and pas
sengers can end baths and all the cOnveniences of /
the toilette. Her engines are of 500 horse power,
and are the work of the firm of Elder 4 Co, of
Glasgow, 1875. Her chief officer, to whom we
had the pleasure Of handing our card, is very
civil and courteous, and the ships discipline ap-
pears to be all that can be desired. Quite q num-
Der of the passengers, en- route for San Francisco,
landed and drove or walked about our city,

rior in the Hotel line. We were told that a men,
Der of the Royal Society of Great Britain was a
passenger on board, and we would have been
very glad TO have met him. and announced his
name and passing visit to Honolulu, but he was
not on board when we visited the steamer, and
had left the Hawaiian Hotel a little before we
called. We regret that we cannot otherwise than
by this allusion offer the compliments of the Press
to this passing Member Of the British Royal
Amongst the passengers were notice
able some very elegant and pretty young ladies,
one in particular, a beauteOus blonde, was arrayed
in heavenly blue, like Diana, and suggested the
Greek motto he kale labetO-' let the fair one
take it," on the apple of discord of old. We
could not help remarklng to a young gentleman,
who, like ourself. was looking on at the passing
scene upon the wharf, that it was a reproach to
our young men to allow so many fair visitors to
pass on, especially in a country where the males
are so much in excess of the females. We wish
the Australia, and her passengers, stern and gen.
bon UoyG9e to San Francisco.
