"AU REvom."-The departure OF the p. NJ. S. S.
Co.'s steamer City of NeD York from this port on
Tuesday, the 18th inst, and bound for San Fran

The usually placid surface of Honolulu society
affairs, as she carried, as passengers. q large num-
Der of our prominent Island people. who by reason
Of business, or bent on pleasure, embraced the
opportunity offered to take a trip to the Land of
The Free,' and leave for a time Eve know it is
only for a time) their own charming Islands.
Rarely has such a large assembly Of our hdut ton
been seen to gather on the Steamer Wharf, and we
noticed that His Majesty the King aud the Princess
Liliuokalani, added by their presence to still fur
Their impress the casual onlooker that the occasion
was one of more than ordinary importance, and
instill into the mind the idea that the City of Neto
York was now possessed OF many precious jewels,
whose absence would be missed from the setting
they were wont to so well adorn. Numerous, in
deed, were the friends who congregated on the
wharf to bid q good speed" and many were the
tokens of affection and remembrance, in the shape
of floral offerings, that were passed along by the
hands of those on the gang plank, and even were
thrown on board after the vessel had swung clear
of the wharf. To still further enliven the occasion
the services of the band were brought into requisi-
ton, and under the direction of Mr.. Berger, played
selections which aided considerably to dispel the
gloomy feelings omnipresent on the occasion Of
bidding farewell, If only for q brief season. AS
the steamer left the wharf the well-known air of
"a Aud Lang Syne :" greeted the ear, and the spirit
OF the strain struck a responsive chord within the
breast of many there present, and hearts filed with
fond recollections of friends fast fading from the
view, and hopes were expressed that the absence
would be but of short duration and that they soon
would meet again.
