eruption of the volcano on Hawaii.

lations with the retiring Chief, Mr.. j. S. Lemon, who
positively declines a denomination.
On Monday next, Honolulu No. l, will also hold a
meeting for the same purpose.
BURNING FLUIDs.-The kerosene oils heretofore
imported into this Kingdom were undoubtedly quite
pure and unadulterated. Everyone knows. however,
that accidents are much more frequent now than in
former years, indicating something wrong at the
sources from which we are now supplied. We do
not believe that our local dealers tamper with the
article while in their warehouses. We would sug-
gest that some regulation ensuring the safety Of the

which might be done by providing for an inspector
whose duty it shall be to test all burning fluids i'm
ported for general use, and that none be sold without
his stamp. under heavy penalties. Where protec-
ton to life and property is concerned, . small ap-
preparation of public money should not be refused.
Remember the great fire of Chicago
LARCENY AND FoRGERY-Several months since
a money order on a firm in this city from a planta-
ton on Maui for $40 was lost. The loser gave
notice of the fact in his own immediate neigbbor-
hood, but did not advertise it in the papers here.
Subsequently, a new order was issued, and duly
paid. the payees being duly notified of the loss of
the first. Some weeks after a native purchased a
bill of goods in q store on Nuuauu street, to the
amount of some sixteen dollars and rendered the
original order above referred to in payment. The
storekeeper being ignorant of the circumstances
which we have here related. cashed the order and
the man went away with his ~coin-Sl24. A day
or two after the order was presented to the firm
on which it was drawn. whereupOn the facts cams
out. The case was put into the hands of the Po-
lice. and after somewhat of a search the guilty
party was found at Hama, Maui, and he was ar
rested. 1t appears that he forged the endorsement
on the back of the order, after stealing it from its
owner. In the several instances which have re-
Gently occurred of forged or stolen money orders,
about all the parties implicated have been arrested
and held for trial.
THE KLAUEA HoU.-This beautiful specimen Of
Hawaiian enterprise and skill (Which we particu-
larry described when she was launched a short
time since by Messrs. Tibbitts & Soreuson) made
her FIRST and trial trip outside the barber on Satur-
day morning last. At her main mast head was a
beautiful 'burgee" with her name-a present
from P. c.. Jones. Esq. and lady. of this city.
Among the invited guests on board were His
Majesty the King and suite and a number of mem
bers of the Legislative Assembly. Under sail and
steam she proceeded several miles beyond Dia-
moud Head, making from 8 to 10 knots. Every
thing about the vessel worked admirably. and she
will prove herself fast, and an extremely comfort
able sea-boat. a sumptuous lunch was spread in
the handsome cabin, (Which has sleeping accom-
