luIu's Circular.

IHIu's Circular.
Ed. Z. G. ADvERTIsER-Sir In a letter
signed by the Bishop of Honolulu, and
published in to-day's ADVERTISER, refer
ence was made to document which was
forwarded to the Bishop on the 25th of
August. Whilst many OF the signers Of
this document regret that its discussion
should be made subject of newspaper
correspondence, they are of opinion that
the publication of the quotations and
criticisms given by the Bishop render it
necessary that equal prominence be
given to the document in its entirety.
l enclose a copy Of the said document,
and shall be indebted to your courtesy if
you will give it place in your columns to-
morrow. l am, etc,
THos. r. WALKER.
