The Variety of Lloyds' Risks.

In consequence of the destruction or dam
age by fire of property in the United States
covered by policies ii the Lloyds' Under
writing Association OF London, commonly
supposed to be a marine insurance organiza-
ton, has been brought into notice of
late. 1t is true that the larger portion of its
risks are marine, but says the Boston Herald,
" so far as limitations are concerned, they
do not exist, and there is probably no risk
or wager of any kind that would not find lis
takers in Lloyds' exchange. Policies have
been issued there upon some of the most
curious of future and uncertain events; that
is, as to whether or not man would be mar
ried; whether or not he would receive an ex-
pected inheritance; whether or not grain
would command in the market Il few months
ahead given price. In all sorts CT spscula-
tions of this kind the members of Lloyd5
have been known to indulge, and even i'll
their marine business they will take risks
under conditions which would seem altogeth
er prepcsterous to marine underwriters in
this country.o

Gazette's Kohala Letter.

KoHALA, Nov. 18th, 1856.
EDITOR GAZETTE Yesterday (FridaY) be-
tween and 8 p. M, all the trash houses be-
longing to the Kohala Sugar Co., were burned
down. This Is another case of incendiarism,
which seems to be the order of the day in
this district; of course the guilty party will
never be found out by our imbecile police
force. This is the second time the trash
houses of the Kohala Mill have been burned;
those of the Star Mill have been burned
down twice and of the Halawa Mill Cnce, and
not in one instance has it been found out
who was the perpetrator of the deed. The
managers offer large rewards for the con-
victlon OF the culprits, and the police goes
quietly to sleep, leaving it to the planters to
build new houses and get them burned down
again. Altogether the conditions here are
getting worse and worse. Not day goes ex-
cept fights, stabbing ARRAYS and drunken
rows are reported. AS nobody ever gets pun
ished, nobody cares.
Last Wednesday, Portuguese went to the

mind his own business, he started to beat the
teacher with a black-snake, and gave him
some ugly cuts on his head. And 1 could fill
column with instances of this kind, which
some few years ago never were heard of here
On whom does the blame fall on then ? Not
so much on the man who is called sheriff or
