Notwithstanding the general dizziness preya.
ding in business circles, there are indications Of
an improved condition of affairs in the near
future. The advices received by the City OF sgd.
ney of rise in sugar in London and conse-
quent stiffening Of the New York marke, gives
US the encouraging hope that by next steamer
we will learn that the Manila market-on which
our rates are based-will also show an upward
tendency; and from the intimate relations Of
London and Manila, this is not an unreason
able expectation.
1t is to be regretted that our currency diff
Guilty seems as far Oft solution as ever. The
action Of the government and the firm through
which the Hawaiian coin was foisted upon the
community, while it gives temporary relief to
present holders, makes ii in reality harder for
us to get onto the gold basis.
Foreign shipping movements since last issue
have been free, the arrivals being the steamers
Alameda and City Of Sydney and brgantine
Consuelo from San Francisco, the former and
latter bringing the usual assorted cargoes, and
the bark Hesper with coal from Newcastle
The departures for the same period embrace
the w. G.. Irwin and Cabarien with full car
goes for San Francisco, valued together a,
$iI7,7i6, the City Of Sydney for the Colonies
and the WIN. Phillips for Hongkons, with little
freight from this port. The latter vessel took
| some I4o Chinese hence and the Pacific Mail
| steamer brought in fify.seven.
Domestic produce is coming in now pretty
freely and the Alameda will get away to-day
with a good cargo, to be followed by the
Dacca abou, the latter part Of next week.
Auction matters this week have claimed
some attention, the sale Of surplus emigrant
stores of the Dacea realizing ST. S47.7o, and
the Marshal's sale Of the bankrupt stock offered
brought about $4,000.
Some little enquiry in real estate is reported

revenue laws, was brought toa hearing
this morning, before Judge Bickerton, in the

The charge made by the custom house Off

sented as cotton goods and therefore undutiable,
were in reality part wooden and therefore sub
ject to duty.
After hearing the evidence OF Mr.. A. S.
Cleghorn, Mr.. NJ. Davis, Mr.. J, Flood, froa,
San Francisco, Mr.. Anton Vogel and Other
witnesses, the Judge decided that, while the
testimony conhicted as TO whether the goods
were all cotton. or part wool, there was no
evidence to show that Mr.. Enrich was aware
Of the goods being otherwise than all cotton
or that he was guilty Of having knowingl,
misrepresented the quality Of the goods ane
the deiendent was therefore honorably dis
charged.

Harpers' Monthly for December 1881 has
the following alluson " Mr. George Augustus
Sala has done much toward popularizing the
Telegraph. His graphic and industrious pen
has covered for it miles of manuscript upon
every conceivable subject under the sun. He
about almost all countries. With wages OF an
ambassador, and the treatment of gentle
man he has travelled for the Telegraph to
and from the uttermost parts Of the earth, de
scribing battles, festivals, royal marriages,
state funerals, always with point and brillancy.
In addition 10 his correspondence, he has held
a foremost place among leader writers OF the
paper, and his social articles have helped tc
give the Telegraph that individuality which
has greatly contributed to It's success. Mr.
Sala is so well-known, not only as a journalist
but as writer OF books and public speaker
that it is not necessary in this place to do NOR,
than mention his connection with the Tele
graph. A friend and contemporary OF Dick

ever he was, and his work possesses the oil,
vitality and verve that belong to Twice Rounc

STREET SCENES.

A hack was driven swiftly through
Hotel street between eight and nine
O'Clock last evening, and young
native girl was seen struggling as if
attempting to get out, and heard to
give an occasional scream. Some
body inside seemed to be holding
her back, but the. vehicle disap-
peared without check, although
spectators shouted to the driver to
stop, policeman on the sidewalk
making no move to interfere with
what looked like q case of forcible
abduction. Persons who viewed the
scene are of opinion that all ON
board the carriage were primed with
strong drink.
From nine O'Clock last night a
man occupied himself for half-an-
hour or so, at the corner of Bere-
tania Street and Garden Lane, in
mauling. a woman, supposed to be
his wife. Some persons who wit
messed the disgraceful scene at the
start went to look for the the police.
The functions of Emma, Fort and
Nuuanu Streets, with Beretania,
where officers are supposed to be
stationed, were visited without re-
suit. Finally, a man rode down
town on horseback, and returned
with guardian of the peace dis
covered in some quiet nook or other.
In the meantime, however, a gentle
man going home from a meeting,
having heard the racket, blew a
policeman's whistle, at which the
rufiian took alarm and made his es-
cape. 1t is said the cause of the
fragrant and unmanly assault was
that the woman, on account of i'll
usage, had left home a few days
previously, and her husband, meet
ing her OH the street last night, pro-
ceeded to punish her, pounding her
with his fists and tearing her clothes.
The couple are foreigners, the wo-
man Portuguese.

Strong. The widow, Mrs. Swan
down, was very takingly repre-
sented by Mrs. A. b. Haley. Mr..
Won Holt and Miss S. Clark had
minor parts, filling them well. In
short, although the selection was a
modest one, as regards stage setting
and other accessories, the whole
large audience seemed to be de-
lighted with the performance from
beginning to end. Many gentlemen
in the lobby, between acts, were
heard expressing the desire that the
local talent of Honolulu should
more frequently cater to public
amusement on the boards of the
Music Hall. The performance is
likely to yield the Library round
5000. There is talk of its being re-
peated on Saturday night.

the prisoners. The Police Court had
something of the appearance of a
Chinese notion store. On the floor
before the judges desk was pile of
books, the half binding of which itself
threw mysterious glamor over the
volumes which were written both
outside and in with formidable hier-
oglyphs of probably terrible import,
and leaning against the table is a
great staff doubtless the baton of
some mighty conductor with which
he drives the candidates for celestial
illumination within the circle of the
inner mysteries. On the table, and
behind the railing in a corner of the
court room are also piled, in the most
artless harmony of confusion, more
books, together with an endless
variety of queer sticks, trinkets,
pieces of cloth and all the parapher-
MALTA of occult mysteries. The terri
bic significance of all this apparatus
of mystitication and initiation, none
but those who have played around
the smoking caldron of celestial free
masonry can pretend to understand
or appreciate. The prisoners were
committed for trial before the Sup
RENE Court.

THE LIBRARY Benefit.

Last evenings event at the Music
Hall was grandly successful in every
way. A more imposing audience
never gathered in that edifice, COM
prising as it did splendid repre-
sentation of the intelligence, dignity,
wealth, beauty and fashion of the
city, and filling every seat in the
main auditorium. The amateurs
who gave j. Stirling Coyne's
comedy, ga Widow Hunt" without
exception acted well their parts,
producing as pleasant an evenings
entertainment as the community
has been favored with in a long
time. Mr.. Godfrey Brown, in the
role of Major Wellington de Boots,
both by his get-up and his clever
acting, carried off the chief honors
of the evening. The more staid
male characters of the play-Felix
Featherly and Frank Icebrook--
were, however, sustained with COM
paratively equal art by Mr.. j. f..
Brown and Mr.. Il. w. Purvis, res
pectively. Miss Lulu Moore carried
out the representation of Mrs.
Featherly, in its varying phases,
very effectively, bearing herself
with an artistic stage presence
through the scenes most requiring
dramatic skill. Mrs. Major de
Boots, "the superior woman" in
costume and execution, was fault.
