A chinaman named Lu Tow, was prose-
euted on Saturday last for depositing filth on
the street in Honolulu, in breach of Regulation
No. IL of the Board of Health. There had been
a row between the defendant and the driver of
the dust cart, who appears to have decidedly
misbehaved himself, and the Magistrate dismissed
the charge. 1t would be a very good thing if
Regulation ii were more strictly enforced. The
filthy habits of 4 great number of the inhabi-
tants of this town want a sharp check.

II During the stay of the Flying Squadron
1t Sydney, Lord Clanwilliam suffered from a
light stroke of paralysis. Referring to this, an
paper says: The nervous affection
rom which the Earl of CIanwilliam is suffering
nay be attributed to the severe wound he re-
,eived in the China war of 1858, when serving
Admiral Sir Michael Seymour. A round
struck him on the point of the elbow,
-
has suffered sleepless nights and intense
)ain. With extraordinary obstinacy he has
llways refused to have the arm amputated,
although urged to submit to the operation by
nch surgeons as Sir James Paget, and the late
Sir William Ferguson. Lord Clanwilliam is a
Dung Admiral, although he has aged in appear
nee very much of late, and the partial stroke
paralysis is therefore a cause for anxiety. :
His manned arm Is fitted with a peculiar con-
rivance. A spring on the palm of the hand in
he form of a plate is so constructed that, on /
losing it, by relaxing the muscles, the hand is
gain expanded, the Admiral possessing the
power of shutting his hand, but is unable to
pen ii without this spring"
u On Saturday last some of the Portuguese
by the Suffolk, did their best to
Indo the favorable impression which previous
immigrants from the Azores have made, by |
tempting to mob one of their number who, |
'elng the hrst called upon, expressed MS reaul-
TO fulfill the contract lie had made with the
Board. These men had been con-
piring together to refuse to acknowledge the
,alidity of the contracts, and hoped by a system
# terrorism to force all their shipmates
nto the same course. When the man just
eferred to, whose name is de Medeiros, ex-
PRESSED his willingness to enter into service
N the terms contracted for, they attacked him
sticks and billets of wood, and it was with
ONE difficulty the riot was quelied. A detach-
nent of military having been sent for, the NAL
seem to have thought discretion the
,etter part of valor, and submitted. The dis
urbance led to the arrest of eleven of the men,
Who were charged, before Judge Bickerton, with
de Medeiros. Andre Martino, who
appeared to be the ringleader, was sentenced to
hree weeks Imprisonment with hard labor, F.
,. d'Almeida to two weeks, and Manuel Correa,
,. Cordeiro and J. F. NJ. d'Almeida TO one week
