Rut a second thought was taken bv the Minister, and i the plan, so far as made public, modified to suit the latitude and longitude cf Honolulu, by allowing sums ! and $100 and upwards to be reccwed." The dream was broken, and they find themselves and the j i Kingdom still fast in the middle of the Pacific. The fifty thousand dollars advertised for, we pre sume to be part of the one hundred and fifty thousand dollar loan authorized by the Legislature of 18-35, to j be made for the support of the military, and to repel, ! perhaps the formidable fillibuster expeditions f jre- shadowed in the reports of the Secretary at "War. j The balance of the loan, or $-100,000, the Minister of the.Treasury, Mr. Allen, is fully authorized to nego- I tiate at New York cr London.

The first care of the Minister of Finance should-be that the bills which he issues, if bearing interest, arc such as will maintain ! x par value : and in order to do this we think two thincrs at least will be found "necessary. First, some rate of interest should be fixed on, and all the bills issued should bear, that rate. If the bills are issued in the manner advertised for,. payable only in two years from date, some at 8, 10, or 12, per cent. intfro?t rwr nnmitti l.'a th.o M5r;itnr nr fiTiV rn ol;f suppose that thov- will all Lite the same value in the market ? Not at all. Some certificates, and perhaps all of them, if not redeemable under two .years, would be at a discount and this depreciation, so far. as concerns the native portion of the com-! munitv interested, would defeat the obiect intended. ! - " . , ..

If half that is said of him Is "-f 11 1' 1 J J dollars by the government, should be worth any less than another piece, promising to pa vthc. same amount, , , . , . , . . i i v but bearing a higher rate of interest : and finding a difference in the value of them, they would reject the whole as worthless,-as is the case wii dimes, and again bury their silver under their Iicuse3 as they do now. Do the goverment expect that the inc-rcliants or othero are going to bid for a rate of interest, in a market where money is'at times so hard to obtain? It may be able to procure the fund3 by this mode which is sometimes adopted in markets where money is abundant, but we are very doubtful of it. There are industrious natives and foreigners who have some times by them from one hundred to five hundred , v i .i ; u i - ii a , ; i. r.:.. I uonars, wnicn tuey wuuiu giau iu iiic-si, aw, wu rate of interest ; but they will never be induced to enter into a competition for the lowest rate to be al lowed for their deposits, because, if unsuccessful in their bid, they are unwilling to have it known that they possess such an amount. ' But perhaps a more important feature necessary to maintain the par value of the certificates issued will be to make them redeemable at any time for pay ments at the customs, - or for licenses or "lebts due to the government. This would make them always ne gotiable and popular with the trading community. In place of any such bills returned to the treasury dom for a few months, can place what spare funds possesses and feel that the certificate which he receiv is worth its par value in gold at any time in the mar ket, so that he may not be obliged to dispose of it at a discount when the money is wanted! The govern ment is the proper party to carry this plan into effect, for-the publio has the fullest confidence in it, and will continue to have unless by the ill-advised "acts or mismanagement cf the " treasurer, it finARces new Dins couua De issuea, ii iuiius were atui wanted tnem at xioopirs suggestion, one a rope ana tne otner a t &wis... mgs, that even his language outlaws by the opprobri- by thepovemment.

Eig!iteen hun dred years ago my goKlly fatherland, Germany, received hard names from Tacit as, Terra in universum aut silvi horridu. aut imludibus fceda,- frutjifcrarum arborum itnpa- l liens. A country either bristling with dark forests or infected by ugly morasses, swampy on one end and stormy on the other. No fruit trees he tells us could grow there. The great rivers Rhine and Danube were every winter, covered with solid a cruse of ice, that the barbarians would make their predatory in roads in neighboring districts, by passing over them with their cavalry, wagons and material. The elk ami reindeer, now con fined to the Polar region, as we learn by Caesar, swarmed over the vast extent of the Henry nian forest. All descriptions of those times would convey the impression, as if it had been a country fit to be inhabited only by brutes and sa rages who lived csn acorns and would get drunk on barley mead. Th parts of i tnnany with which the Romans at that time had become best i -ic iuainted, were the r-giousaljng the bord rdcrs of the Rhine aai Danube Now l.lac? yourself in imagination on a sunnv Mav dav upon the hill of Sehloss Johaanisberg,and let your eyes pass slowly ia a circlj around you.

In the first an almost uninhabitable country, the perea nial mists of which hardly allowed the sun's rays to touch the ground, has been converted into a lovely garden ; in the second the happiest regions of the earth have been transformed into sun burnt deserts. It we ask for the immediate cause of these chan ges, we are besides a few accessory agencies, led Uv the disap pearance of the original perennial vegetation and more especially the trees. Wherever the hardy pioneer fixes his fireplace, hi nrsi worK is to lay the ax on the noWe king or tne toresu w chooses woodland in nrpfYrwn i.nl rich alluvial bottomland ! L' tS centuries unuer its shaiiowv mof. t mus, has mellowed the stiff clay or rennered more compact the ! isht sand. What then is the el effect of forests upon soil, upon clunate and vegetation ? . ' ' As long ago as 1S04, Alex, von numboldt in his, "Voyage atix Regions FJquinoctioux," warned that the waste of forests en tailed two evils on the following generation;; a want of fael, and a deficiency of water The reality or the first is self-evident ; the second, althoush perhaps vaguely felt by any general observer of Nature, was first by him enunciated dogmatical!.. Of course a statement, which if substantiated, entailed such im portant consequences, was well -rt an?usf general atten tion, and since it was fir?t promulgated, up to this time, such a mass of evidence has been accumulateji, , mat h theory may well be said to have become converted into. a acctrine.
