p Three hands remain at the Quarantine
Station, cleaning up and putting things in order.
Every one sincerely hopes that IT may be a long
time before the place is occupied again, except
perhaps, for precautionary measures, should we
have any more speculative importatlons of Chi
nese coolies. The last patient on the books OF the
Health Department has been convalescent for
some time, but, as he is not very strong yet, he Will
remain in the hospital until the whole place is
put in trim and ready TO be closed, which will be
to-day or early next week.
- The Viee-Chancellor gave judgement on
Monday last, on the respondents denlurrers in
the two cases Macfarlane ct al, assignees VS..
Thos. Spencer ct al. These bills on Equity are
| identical in their object, which Is to recover from
| Thomas Spencer, Jr., certain property which it Is
alleged was made over to kim by his father,
when he was insolvent, and therefore in fraud as
against his creditors. The points raised in de-
murrer were of a technical character and We're
all over-ruled. The Court at the same time init
mated that on a nomination being made a guard
ian dd Ete7a for Thomas Spencer Jr., would be
appointed. Messrs. Castle 4 Hatch are in this
case for the plaintiffs and Mr.. Hartwel for Thos.
Spencer.
sg One of a party of tourists who made a
trip via the northeast coast of the island to
Waialua, and back by the inland road, during
the past week, called at the ADVERTISER Office
| yesterday, to request that the fact that a sum of
$50. 600 for the repair of the Nuuanu Pail
I road " was placed on the Estimates submitted
to the Legislature last session, and was promptly
granted by that body, may be recalled to the
/ memory of the Minister of the interior. The
road for the last two miles before reaching the
- \. - -. - 49,
down the face of the Pail has long been so I'M
safe that only very adventurous persons attempt
to ride down it.
- The " Suffolk, - from the Azores, brings
8 welcome addition to the population of the
Kingdom. The assisted Portuguese immigrants
may have been more costly, man for man, than
those which the Government, or private individ-
uals, have induced TO come here from other
parts of the world, but they have assuredly
proved more valuable, rs labOrers and settlers, in
a still greater proportion. Peaceable and in
dustrious, docile as plantation hands, energetic
when working on their own account, their
presence here is the most satisfactory of all the
results of the administration of our immigration
department up to the present time. The arrivals
by the Suffolk number 47S, viz: POS men, 100
women, 12S children and 40 infants. From what
We hear We have no doubt all of them who are
seeking employment will quickly find it.
sas" The newly arrived theatrical company
will make their bow to the public this evening
at the Music Hall. OF Mr.. Edwin Browne we
need not speak, he is already established as a
favorite with the theatre going section of this
community, and he now comes to us fresh from
a successful tour in the Australian Colonies.
Those who have had the opportunity of hearing
Miss Jennie Boyer tell us that in her singing
the musical public have a treat before them
such as they have not enjoyed for a long time.
Mr.. Ralph Wray brings a reputation in his own
line, which leads us to expect great things of
him. Of Hall and Elleford's Irish delineations
many have heard, and Mr.. Finnerty is allowed
TO be second to none as a clog dancer. Of Miss
Jewell Howard and the other members of the
company we have heard enough to lead us to
believe that they are capable and deserving
actors. We have every reason to believe that
the series of performances which commences to-
night will be found worthy of public patronage,
and we trust to have to record that the company
has a profitable season.
