Is. no doubt. appreciated by the Pacific Mail Com.
pany's steamers, but it is hardly profitable for
that company to detain II vessel for five hours for
water-as was the case in the last visit of the s. S.
australia.
- The cutters at some of our street crossings,
more especially at the junction of Fort and Merchant
streets, are not beneficial to carriage springs, nor Is
the jolt they cause a pleasant sensation, as there is a
time for all things, let US hope that the time is near
at hand when the roads will be repaired.
A COOP PAssAGE.-The ship City of Nankin ar
rived last Saturday in ll6 days from Glasgow con-
signed to G: W. Masfarlane q Co. with about
1000 pkgs of general cargo which ought to arrive
to a good market. in view OF the loss OF the X. e..
Wyuie. with a large similar cargo.
q Captain Petersen, OF the steamship HO
Chung, is welcome back to Honolulu. Alter re-
turning to China from his trip in November last.
the Captain was promoted to the command of the
newest and largest vessel of the aeet, but when
the company decided to repeat the Honolulu voy-

viOus
GF Miss Annis Montague ne Mary Cooke, lett
her native shores. on Tuesday last, after being
welded to Charles H.. Turner. They purpose
giving a series Of concerts in the colonies for a
short season, and will probable return this way
en- route for San Francisco, negotiations having
been already entered into for their services in that
city. under the management of Messrs. Hess d

- Madame Anna Bishop. the renowned can
tatrice, has retired from the stage and has ex-
pressed her intention OF residing permanently in
the City of New York. Her voice is said to
sustain a wonderful preservation, considering
her advanced age. Old residents OF Honolulu
will remember with pleasure her dulciduons vo-
cal performances in the old Court House OF
this city, in by gone years.
- From information received, we last week
blamed Deputy-Marshal Dayton for being parti-
cipant III a hOgging given to one OF our young
hoodlums. We have since had the matter ex-
planned to us, and we find that. although the Police
Station was the ground upon which the fogging
took place, Mr.. Dayton was not cogniZant of the
action. A certain medico in town was the casti-
gator, and that without Mr.. Dayton's knowledge.
w- The death of Mr.. Alex. McDuG leaves u
vacancy OF an important nature in the Honolulu
Police Station. He faithfully filed the post of
charge d'affaires in that Office for fifteen years. 1t
is to be- hoped that the Marshal will discriminate
to the best of his ability in the appointment of II
successor to the deceased. Without any reflection
On The present subordinates we hardly think there
is but one fitted for the vacant post.
R We note with regret that Mr.. J. A. Buck. of
Ohlandt IL Co., who was shortly to have returned
to the Hawaiian Islands, to take charge OF one OF
Mr.. Spreckels' plantation, was seriously injured
on Wednesday. the 18th nit, by being thrown
from a buggy. Mr.. Bucks left leg is broken in
two places below the knee. Mr.. Bucks many
friends here and in the Islands will sympathize
with him in his sufferings, and wish bin u speedy
recOvery.-S. F. Merchant.

ARRIVAL OF THE Ro CHUHG.-The Ho Chung
the long expected Chinese steamer arrived of the

was the occasion OF the congregation oil a decided
ly large number OF Orientals at the wharf-sides

CoRRECTIoS.-Mr Kalua, the member from Wal
luku, took exception to one word in our report OF
that part of the Legislative proceedings referring
to the vote of want t. OF confidence" He is re-
ported to have stated that the resolution was
proposed - by some one. not a member Of the
House. which we take this opportunity to state
was a printers error. The word written by our
reporter, and spoken by the interpreter, was "pre-
pared" We apologize for the error. though We
fail to see that it was of such a serious nature as to
so disturb the equanimity of the mind Of the Hon
orable representative from Wailnku. He also
took exception to being represented as the intro
Queer of a resolution. instead Of his colleague.
For this sin also we express our contrition.
