THE HAWAIIAN ARMY.

A Bremen paper has published the following
item. which although evidently not quite tree
from mistakes, conveys some interesting news,
The 400 men of the army of the sandwich !slaho
Kingdom are at present being supplied WIN lie"
uniforms at Bremen. King halakaua IS d warm
admirer of the German Army, and therefore
desires his troops to wear the same uniforms,
with the exception that the epaulettes Will con.
tain his monogram. The army consists OF lOo
cavalry, who are to receive the uniform OF the
Yellow Dragons, and 800 infantry. A young
man from Bremen, is the reorgan1zer OF the
army. and in default of Kanaka commands, he
has introduced German ones. All the 400 uni
forms for officers and men, also including some
for the King himself, have been ordered TO
measure.

Ice for SMALLPOX.

From numerous experiments made in the great
Hospital at Posen, Prussia, it appears that ice is
a most ~effectual remedy against smallpox. One
of the patients, in a fit of delerium, escaped to
the garden where the snow lay two feet deep.
There he remained the whole night, with no
covering but his shirt. On the following morn
ing the fever had disappeared and the pustules
had dried.
This strange circumstance attracted the
pbvsician's attention, and, after consultation,
they determined to keep the temperature of the
small pox wards very low, and apply small
quantities of ice to the patients. The results
a week all the patients had recovered.-NeW

~ A disturbance which threatened to be of
a serious nature occurred last night on board the
steamer Lydia. The quarantine police were in
formed about midnight that there was trouble on
board, and fetched off from the shore some half
a dozen volunteers, but on arriving alongside,
these were so severely pelted-with Goals pro-
bablv-that they beat a retreat, in order to
secure further assistance. Governor Domi-
mis- being communicated with, ordered out
a detachment of thirty of our much decried and
criticised soldiery, who tn conjunction with the
notice. surrounded the vessel and took posses
sion of her. Meanwhile the repeated discharges
of firearms on board the vessel had caused great
alarm on shore to the limited number who heard
them. The captain and officers of the vesssl
fred over the heads of the mutiners and then
drove them off the deck by turning a full head of
steam ON to them, and when they retired below,
battened the matches upon them and they remain
prisoners in their quarters.

LETTER FROM EURoPE.-No. Al.
CFRoN OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

LONDON, FEBRUARY 2OTH, 1851.
The news of King Kalakaua's arrival at San
Francisco and his proposed tour round the world,
was received here with considerable interest,
some of the daily papers containing leading CON:
ment on the subject, which as usual exhibited
more or less dense ignorance about Hawaii and
its people The Telegraph, however, seems to
make a good point in saying Instances have
occurred In history before now of subjects going
out to seek a King, but never before has a King
started ON a tour round the world to find
subjects"

Italian papers report that Signor Moreno, ex-
minister of Hawaii, is now revisiting his native
country for the purpose of placing three of the
Kings nephews in an Italian college to be edu-
Gated and to select some officers to drill the
Kings soldiers, He is also the bearer of letters
from his sovereign to King Humbert, Garibals,,
and the composer Verdi, whose music it seemss
warmly admired at the Hawaiian Court,

WE have seen a letter signed by the
three Hawaiian yonng men, Wilcox, Boyd,
and Booth, now abroad, dated Feb. -
Rome, Italy, and addressed to H. R.. II. the
Princess Regent, in which they complain
that they are without means of support,
and that Mr.. Moreno, obtains the means
for their living out of " his Estates" of
which they are "eye-witnesses." 1t is a
misfortune, and an injury, to the good
name of this Kingdom that these young
men, who are known to have gone abroad
on public account, should be in the posi-
ton of mendicants in a far distant foreign
land. OF course we have in view the eX-
ceptional influences and circumstances,
which occasioned and attended their de-
parture from home, in which none of those
now in authority had any part. But there
is no reason why a proper provision should
not be made for the young men, out of the
appropriation for the education of Hawaiian
youths abroad, under other and different
direction than that with which they set
out and we hope that new arrangements
are made in reference to those young men,
and probably carried out by this time.
THE Kings tour around the world, is the
occasion of a good deal of newspaper COM
ment abroad; critical as we'll as compli-
mentary some of which is based upon
tolerably correct information, and some
mere invention and ignorant conjecture.
We are astonished at some of the absurd
remarks that appear in highly respectable
European journals, but the London Tele-
graph makes the pertinent and apprecia-
tive remark Instances lave occurred in
history of subjects going out to seek a
king, but never before has a king started
on a tour round the world to find subjects"
And his purpose of King Kalakaua's
journey, will command the sympathy and
good will of the statesmen of Europe who
a while ago admiring an Emperor of Brazil
going abroad to attend scientific congresses
and in quest of knowledge, will still more
admire the native ruler of the Hawaiian
Islands, who having declared that " Hoou-
1u Lahui Increase the people; is the
watchword of his reign, traverses oceans
and continents, that he may find people (;
men, women and children, to invite to come
and enjoy the rich soil, the salubrious
climate, and the freedom of his insuhr
Kingdom.

WHEN we discussed the subject of a
marine railway on the 18th inst, we ex-
pressed an opinion, that the Minister of the
Interior had better defer action and ex-
penditure until the exigencies of the cpl
demic and other pressing matters had been
satisfied. And now the Ministry call upon
the Privy Council to authorize an extraordi-
nary draft upon the public treasury, not to
exceed f~ifty-thousand dollars, for re-
quirements of the Board of Health. 1t
will not appear well to the country, nor be
approved by a Hawaiian Legislature, that
the Government should be pressing ex-
penditure upon a public Improvement not
now pressingly needed, whilst it has to
make extraordinary drafts upon the
treasury, and possibly may nave to borrow
money, in order to promote the public
health.

On Tuesday a case of smallpox was dis
covered amongst the passengers ex Nee
Foo. These men have been kept in quar-
tiers entirely distinct from those of passen-
gers by other vessels and, at the time the
case was found q days had elapsed since the
last previous discovery. A very large
number of the Mee-Foo's coolies had been
shipped during the two or three days
previous to this case of disease making its
appearance so that there is unhappily NJ
assurance that some of these may not nav
carried the smallpox away with them.
This discovery occasions grave doubts as to
whether the period of sixteen or seventeen
days which the Board of Health has adopt
ed for quarantining suspected persons is
adequate. A very similar occurrence took
place on shore, where, three days after a
house on Merchant street had been relieved
from quarantine after II days isolation, a
fully developed case of smallpox was dis
covered
