together unprecedented thoughts I expressed upon
the subject of the renewal of the treaty at Honolulu
ON the Fourth of July? Well, the things then said
have travelled as far as this, and my opinion has on
several occasions been asked as to the wisdom of that
treaty. Does it pay us 2'' they ask. " Is it not

practice as well % = Is that Government stable 2"
lis it an orderly and well-regulated political

frequently asked, and l am more than glad to be
able to answer from my own observation and per-

their traditions, their prosperity and progress. That

a most attentive listener. whose every effort was to

with the United States and their people. Of the

CRIcKET.-The return match H.. b. NJ. S. Gannet
VS.. HonolulS Cricket Club, came off on Saturday
last. The game was not commenced till ! O'Clock.
and only one innings on either side had been
played when dusk came on. The match was
therefore left unfinished, but stands greatly in
favor OF the Honolulu Club, the relative scores
being IS and l44. This result is chiefly owing TO the
capital stand made for Honolulu by Harrison,
who played with the club for the FIRST time on this
occasion. There were changes in both teams as
compared with those which met one another on
the previous Saturday by which. as it turned out.
both were rather strengthened than otherwise.
We cannot afford space this week for a description
of the play, and as the official record was lost or
mislaid. we are unable to publish the score of the
game. The toss was won by the Captain OF the
Honolulu team, who elected to take the field with
his men. The chief features OF the innings OF the
visiting team were the excellent manner in which
Fleet made up his score Of rs, and the unexpected
additions to the score made by the last two men
Bishop and Harrison. who knocked the ball about
and ran their scores into double figures, bringing
the total for their side up to -, when their oppo-
nents had been congratulating themselves that
they would be all out for a little over so. The
scores when the various wickets fell were as fol-
lows l for l, May /; 2 for 7. Alison /; 3 for IA,
Farqnhar G; 4 for Is. Johnson 0; 8 for 80. Chad I;

credit. The bowlers for the Honolulu team were
T. Lishman. (Captain) and Perry. The latter dis
tinguishrd himself by taking six wickets. Alter a
short interval, the Honolulu team went in. Harri-
son as already stated deied the bowlers, and gave
the field plenty of 81 leatherhunting." until he had
run his own score up to within one of the half
century. Miller who was in with Harrison. made
a score of Is and some good scores were made by
subsequent players. The latter had things rather
their own way. both field and bowlrrs being some
what worn out before Harrison's wicket was
taken. There were several bOwlrrs for the Gannet's
team, but the chief work fell on Bishop. who de-
Iivered 10 balls during ia" innings. The alter
noon's play gave evidence that our local ciicketers
are keeping up their batting. hut that they greatly
need systematic practice together TO enable them
to acquire equal proficiency in the field.
RETURN OF THE U. S. CUTTER Thomas CoRwIN.
The U. S. revenue steamer Thomas Corwin arrived
in San Francisco harbor on the 18th Of October.
having been forced by the ice to return from the
Arctic and abandon the search in quest Of the Jean
nette, and missing whalers Vigilant and Mount
Wallaston. The following extracts are taken from
San Francisco papers and are interesting =" The
Corwin left San Francisco on the 22nd May, and
made Ounalaska twelve days out. Thence they went
to the fur seal islands. They saw ice every day ia
Behring Sea, but heard nothing Of the Jeanette
They followed the ice pack all the way round, the Joe
being always on the outer edge. The object of the
cruise was to do revenue duty, break up the whisky
trade, assist whalers if necessary, and get tidings Of
the Jeanette. They struck ice first on the 9th Of
June, south of Nounivak Island. The Corwin
sailed over six thousand miles north Of the Arctic
circle, forcing her way through the ice all the time.
She went within 10 miles on the highest point north
that any United States vessel has ever reached 30
far. On August 9th they werr Mt Icy Cape, seven
miles from land, having lauded at Point Barrow,
which is the most northwestern point Of America
(of West Georgia), on the 25th August, two days
previously Oh the 18th Of August, the schooner
Loleta was seized at Port Hope for a violation Of the
revenue law, which consisted of cruising on the
west coast with arms aud ammunition aboard. She
was seized a year ago and taken TO Ounalaska,
where sne nao q cargo OF rum ana arms, but
escaped the penalty of the law through some techni-
cality. On the 4th September the Loleta, sailed by
her captain, went ashore on the north side Of st.
Laurence Island in thick weather, and the vessel and
cargo became a total loss, the latter being appropri-
ated by the Indians. On the 18th Of September,
after a 4s-hours' trip in an open boat, Lieutenant
Wyckoff reached Plover Bay, where he fell in with
the schOoners Mary and Helen and Julia A Long,
which vessels took off the officers and crew of the
Loleta, nine of whom arrived with the Mary and
Helen. The captain and one or two men from the
Loleta departed from Plover Bay for Honolulu
aboard the Julia A. Long the same day that the
Mary and Helen sailed for San Francisco. Captain
Owens of the Mary and Helen did every thing posi-
BILE to make the trip down comfortable for the ship
wrecked sailors. The Corwin came up four or FIVE
times to Her aid Island to see if the Jeanette was
there and to try and get to Wrangel's Land. She
was there on June 18th, again early 10 July, on
August 18th and July 1lth. The Corwin got with
in three miles of Herald's Island and blew her
whistle, but there was no one there. On the 18th Of
September. the steamer succeeded in getting to with
in twenty miles of Wrsngel Land. The fog lifted
sufficiently to obtain a good sight of the coast.
