A Lively RUNAWAY.

Monday morning while Chas. Comp
ton and his little brother frankie were
driving down Oak street, with their
ponies, as they passed Warren's furni-
ture store the tongue became detached
from the wagon, and soaring the ponies
they started at breakneck speed up
main street, having left Charles and
frankie to pick themselves up from
the ground. Neither of them were
hurt. The horses pressed on up the
street missing wagons teams, men
and women by hairs breadth only, and
finally brought up at Herschleb s.
Neither Of the ponies were in any
way injured. Quite fortunate run
away for all concerned.

The amount of silver in all payments should not
fall below fifty dollars, and ON all payments over
that, the proportion of gold to silver should al
ways be identical-say, for instance, three-fourths
cold and one-fourth silver.
BY this means the transition from our present
Objectionable currency TO the gold, which we al
would prefer, would be gradual, and we should
avoid that shock to our financial system, which,
fear, Mr.. Judd's proposed remedy would admins
ter.
The beie noi,e of the position is the Mexican dol
lar, respecting which the government has taken
no public action.
Unless importation of this coin can be prevent
ed. the enormous amount that is already afoat
here will have to be ruthlessly deprecated to Its
San Francisco value, and am afraid the hue and
cry against those who may be held responsible for
the loss that will fall innocent heads will be as
great and rs unreasonable as that which seeks now
TO fix ON the bank the stigma of having imported
coins which the law of 1876 made fair if not ex-
pedient. Turn off the fountains and the stream will
cease-but with the fountains in full flow, it is
childish to lay the fault any particular pipe for
bringing the water.
Trusting that ere long we shall be able to well
come MIR. Judd back To friendly discussion with
those who accept the heavier strokes of his pen for
the sake of the genial hand that held it.

THEo n. DAVIES.
This valued correspondent has the manliness to
come out with his views over his own signature,
showing his own good faith in them. He is aware
that We have always urged that gold currency is
our only safe basis although due notice must be
given before enforcement of gold law. Doesa
one think that silver would have been SO largely
imported and that q. S. gold would not have come
in its stead. if importers had not made money
thereby and if arrangements for exchange had not
been facilitated thereby to the mutual advantage
of the bank and of the consignors of produce

WEDNESDAY, NAY s. 1850.

"WHAr's rHR SEws >" This question
which public journal undertakes to answer.
The desire for news IS probably peculiar TO
the human race, and existed as strongly in the
pre-adamite man as in Noah after his forty
days and nights. The brute creation have in
telligence, reasoning powers, and we can
hardly avoid the conclusion that they have
conscience. A dog knows when he does right
or wrong, in the dogs ideal of what consti-
tutcs right and wrong. There may be brutes
which laugh and cry. But the brutes take no
kind Of interest in the news OF the day except in
matters affecting them personally. But with
man, in normal and healthy condition, this
desire is like the appetite for food, and must be
supplied or he lapses into an animal. Ii is easy
and exceedingly agreeable for journalist to
Gull from the local news of the day only such
items as crafty everyone TO read, and to make
only such comments as will displease no one.
But surely there is correct middle ground
for journalist, between that of common
scold and an obsequious hatterer. We regard "a
journalist as a trustee in public matters, and if
he fails in expressing candidly and without
fear or favor his views thereon, he receives
and deserves contempt.

The Legislative Assembly was convened
with the usual formalities last Friday. The
Kings speech declares that the measures of
the last session have been vigorously carried
out" He urges attention to sanitary matters,
especially to Honolulu sewerage. All will
concur with this latter suggestion. He also
recommends Legislation for railroads, immigra-
ton, in:er-island cables and foreign lines of
steamers. The session opens with prospect
Of lively ard spicy discussions, in which the
many "Nestors" Of the Assembly will not
fail to be prominent. The following is His
Majesty's speech delivered on that occasion
Nodes and Representatives
You are again called together to deliberate
upon, and adopt measures for the advance
ment Of Our Country.
The measures adopted at the last Session of
the Legislature have been vigorously carried
out, and l have to congratulate you that they
have been beneficial TO the interests of the
nation.
The products Of the soil have been album
daut, prices have been remunerative, so that
Our Country IN every locality shows the evil
Foreign Nations continue to manifest towards
Our Country every feeling of good will.
At the Propagation Of the former Legislature
II was stated that a protocol of Treaty of
Commerce, with the Empire Of Germany. had
been entered into, and have now much pleas
ure in Informing you that such Treaty has
been duly ratified, and now only awaits the
action Of the German Parliament to come into
full effect, and / trust that before your labors
are ended the Government will be enabled to
state that such Treaty is in force.
l am also pleased that negotiations entered
into between NY Government and that os His
Majesty the King Of Denmark, for modiica-
tion Of Article VII, Of the Treaty with Den
mark, have been brought to a successful
result
Peace and good order have prevailed
throughout our bordersJ and justice has con-
tinued to be administered equifably, and in a
manner satisfactory.
To guard against the recurrence Of epidem-
les, Ny Government will introduce a measure
for the purpose Of making and maintaining q
system of sewerage for the City of Honolulu.
l earnestly appeal to your patriotism, to
devote your time to the consideration Of other
sanitary measures which may, in your opinion,
be best adapted to improve and secure the
health Of Ny people.
The increasing prosperity Of the Nation en-
courages the promotion Of measures for greater
facilities Of communication and transportation,
both among ourselves and with foreign coun-
tries, and IN that view / would recommend
projects for the construction Of Railroads, for
Telegraphic Communication between the Isl

As one indication of the general sentiment
among the better classes of native Hawaiians it is
gratifying to know that the Evangelical Associa-
tion of Oahu at its meeting last month voted to
present memorial TO the Legislature against any
repeal of the present prohibitory liquor law. The
Churches represented In this Association, if one
could judge from the speeches of the delegates
were of no doubtful mind as to the propriety and
necessity of the prohibitory law.

THE next mail will be eagerly watched for
by those interested in English politics. The
great liberal majority is matter of surprise
not only to the party leaders but to many of
the continental powers. The Russian press
halls the change with delight, so does the low
er class of French papers. Germany and the
more educated part of France are disap-
pointed.
The late government has rendered itself
chiefly remarkable by its foreign policy. On
its coming into power England had sunk con-
siderably in the estimation of European ma
tions, the Beacousfeld government has raised
its prestige greatly. The checkmate of Russia
after the treaty of San Stephano must ever be
regarded as masterly stroke of policy. Rus
sia is without doubt the most unhBppy
power in Europe. 1t is a power totally op-
posed to every semblance of political liberty,
q power in which by strange paradox In
| perialism has its home and in which commuu-
ism under its worst type, nihilism, is Graded
Both Imperialism and communism are but diff

| policy or passes through the fiery ordeal of
violent domestic convulsiou, many will be dis
inclined to accord to her tile position of a use
ful member of the civilized body polite. The
/ Zulu war has been brought to successful
I issue. The Afghan war is still pending; events
I will probably shew its advisability. The in
! ternal policy Of the late government has few
striking features, perhaps the most important
act is that of removing the jurisdiction in
contested elections" from committee of
the House Of Commons to the judges; this has
been even severer blow to bribery and cor
! rnption than the ballot
With the new administration we may expect
to see great many internal measures and ex-
ternally policy Of greater caution based upon

WHAT principle of selection guides the
powers that be when nominating men for the
honors (?) conferred by the Crown?
We understand that there has been quite
shower of orders poured forth within the last
day or two; among the names mentioned are
those Of people who never have done and as
far as human foresight can tell, never will do
anything for Hawaii nei, except to grub dol
lars out Of II.
It is such indiscriminate giving away of
orders that has made them appear worthless
in the eyes of all thinking people. AS the
case stands now our orders and patents of no
bility confer neither rank nor dignity upon the
recipients.
Rumor says that former ministry went out
upon loan of $4,000. Is it possible that
the last years interest has been paid by an
order? We also hear that prominent men,
Der Of the opposition Of last session has been
decorated, and has accepted: we certainly
think this a cheap method of winning over
foe At first il was bruited about town that,
wrapping himself in the stern integrity of the
ancient Roman, like another Fabius 10 another
PyTrhus, he had sternly refused the paltry
bauble but human nature is weak, and the
glitter Of a star has dimmed the patriotic lustre
Of last session. Joking apart, it would have
been more dignihed 10 give the order gftsr
not bsf0rs the present session, and the
patriotic" gentleman would have gained
more by refusing, than he ever can do by &C
cepting II.

SUNDAY last was the Easter Sunday of the Greek
Church and was duly celebrated on board H. l.
Ms. S. the Djigtitts. There are many pretty
customs in Russia on this day. When friends
meet, no matter what their sex or station in life
they kiss one another thrice, repeating Christ is
risen " and the reply He is risen indeed" There
is great interchange of colored eggs, which GUS
tom has with the advance of luxury grown into
habit of giving presents similar to our Christmas
gifts On Easter eve very imposing ceremony
takes place In the churches it is particularly
striking at st. Isaac's Cathedral in St Peters
burg The building an immense one capable of
holding many thousand people, is filled. AT first
there Is but a dim light but at u O'Clock, when
the priests after thrice walking round the build
ing announce that Christ has risen, every member
of the congregation instantly lights a taper, the
candles in the chandeliers flash out, the dome
blazes with ring of fire and what was before
sombre and dark is perfect blaze of brilliancy
In Greek churches there is no organ but there is
always magnificent choir. As the church is
lighted the choir bursts forth with an anthem of
praise. Later, the metropolitan proceeds TO the
steps of the cathedral and from thence blesses the
crowd OF peasants, numbering from 200 to 10000
who are assembled in the square without, each
with his Easter vlands before him. little pyra-
mid of curds, sweet cake. and half dozen COL
ored eggs. The Greek Church is very strict in
fasting, and not cake or q curd is touched till
the holy man has given his benediction. To see
such a vast crowd with bowed heads, resting in
perfect silence, the moonlight lifting up the part-
colored groups to hear the feeble words of the
lntirm old patriarch trembling the crisp frosty
air; TO watch the fickering lights of the massive
pile, at the doors of which he Shuts is sight
never to be forgotten.
