San Francisco, September 2.-The steam ian points via Honolulu. Advices from the latter place under date of September IA say that the congressional commissioners are finishing their work and expect to leave for Washington September 23
 The commissioners are now being de- luged with petitions and memorials from the native Hawaiians. The sentiment of the natives appears to be divided.
