- "Chacun,' our contemporary of this

e Dumping dirt in the public streets in heaps
is not conducive to public health nor public safety.
Adams Lane where it joins Hotel street is the spot
Whereon a great deal of the dirt of neighboring tene-
ments is thrown. and now the accumulations form a
respectable pile, much to the detriment of carriages,
the dread of nervous horses and the worriment of
nightly foot passers.
e We learn from good authority that the
Chinese steamer Ho-chung is again on her way to
these shores with a full complement of Chinese
passengers. Though this is authentic, it was not
furnished by the special agent. The veto having
been put on Mr.. Rhodes Immigration Bill, the in
fux of 400 or 500 Chinese males, aoithout females,
cannot be interfered with by the Government.
The steamer is due about the 2Sth July.
q Our n~eighbor steers its bark against the
pilots for not clearing away the rain storm that
prevailed at the advent Of the city Of Sydney on
the morning of the 18th inst. and thereby obviat-
ing the necessity of the steamer sounding its wbis-
tie. The insinuation that the vessel was delayed
from entering the port by the absence of the pilot
is wrong, as the pilot in question was on board
within a short time after the signalling of the yes
sci and some time before he could make the en-
trance to the harbor.

THE THEATRE.-The California Variety Combina-
ton have continued their pleasing performances at
the Royal Hawaiian Theatre, during the past week,
playing to slim but appreciative audiences. His
Majesty the King and members of the royal family
were present at the entertainment on the evening Of
the 10th inst, and the performers, each and all,
played we'll their parts. The programme for this
evening introduces Miss Bickle, Miss Granville and
Mr.. Charreau, in new songs, Mr.. Cal. GodefrOy in
cannon ball exercises, and the funny folks, Fremont
and Fox in new comicalities. Professor Heinsen
should take the opportunity between acts to perform
q violin solo, and there is no doubt but that his
efforts would be appreciated. Another performance
tonight and again, with change of programme, on
Tuesday and Thursday of next week.

ANOTHER RUNAwAY.-A native Bucephalaus, at

portion of the spirit of his ancestors on the even
ing of the 18th inst, by starting off at a high rate
of speed down Fort street utterly regardless OF the
comfort of the only occupant OF the wagon. Mr. De-
jean. Attempting to turn the corner of King and
