IL MEMoRIAM-on the Sth OF December last, at
the residence of his son, in Kobe, Japan, there
passed from earth to the Unknown Country, the
spirit of the Rev. Peter j. Gulick-a native of New
Jersey, United States of America, who for forty
seven years served as missionary at the Hawaiian
Isands-at the ripe old age of 50 years The de-
ceased was well known to many OF the old resi-.
dents of these Islands as one that devoted band
who left home, kindred and friends, and all that
was dear to him on EARTH to devote himself to the
service of his Divine Master in bringing the be-
nighted aud ignorant to the knowledge of God and
Christ; and to assist in the great work of evangel
ring people who knew not God. At this hour,
who of US can estimate the trials, hardships and
perplexities this venerable servant of Jehovah
dured during so long period as fOrty-seven years
in the Masters Vineyard? Who can imagine the
value of such long service. compass the thought
of how many precious souls have passed from time
to eternity, full of lively hope ola bic ssed immor
tality through his ministry? The labors of his life
are registered in Heaven, whittier no doubt he has
gone to reap his rich reward of " well done, thou
good aud faithful servant" His body lies in far
off land but his ransomed spirit was waited to the
realms Of bliss by the same unseen agency that
triumps over death in all cmes. To him it made
no difference where his body reposes-for OF all Ike
him it may be said, "the chamber where the good
meets his fate, is privileged beyond the common
walk of Firtuous life quite lu the verge of heaven

~ The United States frigate Pensacola left
this harbor on Thursday morning last TO render
whatever assistance she could to the American
bark d. n. Carlton, that was reported ashore
the island of Molokai, with some 800 Cinnamon
and a number Of Chinawomen, and full compli-
meut of officers and men. The Carlton was from
Hongkong with cargo aud coolies for these Is
lands. portion of the coolies had been taken off
the wreck before the Pensacola reached the scene
of the disaster, and had been safely landed at this
port by cOasting schooners. The Pensacola brought
TO Honolulu $50 of the Cinnamon ond one China
woman, together with the Captain of the Carlton,
his wife aud niece, and the officers and of the
wrecked ship. The Carlton is now lying inside the
reef with six feet of water in her hold She will be
a total loss. We have not learned the full partcu-
lars as 10 how the Carlton met with her present
fate, and therefore forbear to give any rumors on
the subject

~ An interesting suit at law tried at the
last term of the Supreme Court of this Kingdom,
namely, Davies vs. Hackfeld & Co. 1t was an ac-
tion brought on contract to deliver a certain
quantity Of wool. The plaintiff, 10 the first in
stance, suffered suit, but brought second
suit for S25 900 damages, and the jury gave a
diet for plaintiff for the full amount. Defendants
moved to set aside the above verdict which mo-
tion argued before Chief Justice Harris who,
after argument, set aside the verdict except to
the sum of $685.. The opinion of the Supreme
Court in this will be published soon We
can find room to do so. There are several nice
questions involved in the above case, touching the
law of contracts that will be found great interest
to the business community.

" Boss Tweed" was in the height of his glory, it
appears that efforts were then put forth to erect
monument to his name for his many virtues, etc
Fortunately or unfortunately for them the bright

in raising a monument OF disgrace for himself
which will outlast 4 monument Of marble. II may
