Charles Phelps, Eldredge, Ntw London ins over the action on the French Treaty. It could hardly have been more so had a destructive earthquake been expected. r One day ' it is re ported that tbe treaty is signed, the next that it isn't, and so forth. V To cap the whole the Poly nesian comes out and with a. perfect contempt of the public feeling, owns itself gagged, as follows: In view of the amount of Interesting matter brought by the two mails wblch bave recently arrived, and to make room ft copious shipping intelligence, we withdraw the leader prepared nr this week's naner. Of the political matters which hare 00 I copied the atteutiou of tbe public during tbe last few days, we shall have our say at a more convenient opportunity. What a collapse ! The tsinell of that powder and the untimely appearance of the bright Impe rial tri-color wta too much for the nerves of the editor, and appears to have knocked all his steel pens into pi. The " interesting matter" proved under the circumstances, ' quite uninteresting, which was as much as to say that the leader" had some remarkably dry point in it. However, the public appear to have come to the conclusion to bear up manfully under the circumstances and possess their souls in patience," till the fate of the Minister's work is known. The gist of the whole matter is here. His Ma' jesty has been unwilling to ratify the document with its obnoxious clauses, and his Ministers, who have more brass than ever Judas possessed, are determined fie shall sign it in some form as the only alternative of a general collapse in the Min istry. Immediately on its rejection by His Ma jesty on the 30th, it is reported that the Minister of Foreign Affairs essayed to bring about some such arrangement, ly which it could still be signed. The period limited having expired, this could only be effected by attaching another arti cle, remedying this default. ' We understand that the strictest secresy lias been enjoined on the sub sequent proceedings. il'he position in which His Majesty -has been placed is very like that in which the attempt to annex the Islands to the United. States placed dim. Tiie ratification of this treaty as it came rom France will bo a virtual cession of a portion of the Sovereignty of the kingdom to France. he Ministers may succeed in their unrighteous work, but not, if we understand Kainehameha P.S. We have good reiisorr to lieliere that the treaty was signed yesterday, and that the French, English, and Hawaiian versions, as ratified by the King, are now ia the possCeion of the French Commissioner. Whether it has been modified, otherwise than alluded to above rempins to be seen. We are assured, however, that the provisions in regard to the us3 of the French lan guage, and that enforcing the new tariff remain unaltered. We hone wo may le in it taken in t m I r;ard to this, and that whatever has been the final action of His Majesty, it may be such that neither he nor his people may regret it, nor wish to revoke it. THE TREATY PASSED: Just as our paper was ready for the press, the Extra Polynesian was placed in our hands, con taining the Treaty with France," as accepted by this government and passed yesterday the 8th inst. For want of time and space, we defer com ments on it till our next issue. It will be noti ced, however, that it is not the same as came from France, or rather that it is amended and has not the Emperor's signature. eets were much larger than at present, the rate of premium on money or discount on, whalers bills was excessive, and rose at times to fifteen and even twenty percent. - But each succeeding year has been working a change in favor of the whale ships, and now, with a little foresight on the part ofj ship agents and ship chandlers, and with the accurate knowledge of the number of ships expected, derived in part from the publication of a list and early reports, the amount of money wanted by them can be correctly estimated, and arrangements made to supply all they need, be it more or less. Although the premium on mo . ney last fall went up to ten per cent., the average on all the bills drawn did not exceed five per cent., and was probably between four and five.' It has been customary with some who have a few thousands at their command," to. hoard up their money for months with the hope' of obtain ing, as in former years, a heavy premium on it when the whalers come in . The idea that they may get twelve and a half or fifteen per cent., or even a higher premium, tempts them to decline a moderate offer for their coin, and they hold onto it till they find the bank broke," and their an ticipated profits a vision. We doubt not that from fifty to a hundred thousand was so kept hack last season, till the owners of the money were fain to accept par, if for remittance, or seek some other investment, if held solely for profit. Tho season Tials probably passed by when any great profit can be made here in whalers bills. The amount of money awaiting remittance to the TJnited States,' Enjrland and Germany, as well as the large amounts imported from San Francisco, (this latter varying from a hundred to a hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars,) precludes the possibility of any scarcity in the money market this fall. In addition to this, the average catch will probably be less than in any former year, Kttnd the wants of whalers depend greatly on their earnings. t No one should hoard his money for a season of scarcity If any have funds to remit or to in vest, they should be placed in the hands of a ship chandler or any one likely to invest them at the best rates. ' Whalers bills are unquestionably the best remittance ever offered. During all the last year's panic only one or two houses engaged in the whaling business in Atlantic ports, suffered their bills to be protested. The nnture of the business is such the ownership of whalers being divided anions a greater or less number of share holders that these drafts are probably safer than the same amounts drawn on or by any other class of business men in the world.

Tbe Wballag Flet d Wfaslrr' Bills. Several weeks agr, when noticing the first news received from the Kodiack, we ventured to pre dict that tho whaling season at this port would bei;in somewhat earlier than in former years. Already fifteen vessels have arrived at this port and Lahaina. The fact that the ships which cruised last sea.oTi on tho New Zealand ground did well, has had a tendency to hasten the de parture of some vessels from the Kodiack Sea as soon as the whales hecaine scarce, and may alto bring some from the Arctic, so that ships intend ing to cruise on New Zealand may he able to reach that ground in season, whales being most abundant there from October to February. The reports which we publish to-day from the Arctic aro very unsatisfactory, though early in the season. The season in this sea is from July to September 30th, and it is very likely that the month of August may change tlte character of the reports. Capt. Lowen's report shows a larger number of vessels in that sea than was generally supposed. As near as can bo deter mined from reports received, the northern fleet has been dispersed as follows : On Kodiack Ground, about. . 40 vessels. In Bhering and Arctic Seas, ahont.... 76 do. In Ochotsk and neighboring Seas, about 100 do. From the latter fleet no report has yet been received, and we aro justified in allowing the above number to it. In another part of-thisl pajier will be found a complete list of tte North fljet of whalers expected here this fall, " ' wl r B B w. . numoering in an vcseiH, including one known to have been lost. Up to the 6th inst., we have had fifteen arri vals from the North. The same number did not arrive last year till the Cth of October, or one month later. The first fifteen arrivals this season report 7,450 bbls. this season's catch, or an aver age of 497 bbls. to each vessel. We give below the average for the first fifteen whalers from the Northern ground for the three previous years : , 185715 vessels averaged. , 770 bbls. 1?58 15 do. do. , 613 j0 '1S55 15 do. do. , 84S do. L The early return of the Kodiack fleet in 1856, which had done poorly, somewhat resembled this season's report. In 1857 and 1355, the early arrival of some large fares from the Arctic and Ochotsk, makes the average given above appear large. To say the least, the'reports thus far this year look somewhat discouraging, and we can only hope that the next will be better. In our reports of the Arctic fleet, it will be seen that some vessels aro reported with" rip sacks" and muscle-diggers." These are the same species as are found in Margarita Bay, and are also called " California greys." They aro a smajl whale, and average about twenty-five bbls. ca'ch. Their oil is said to be inferior to that of the Arctic whale. The only vessel reported lost thus far, is tho French ship yapoleon, lost in May, near the Bhering Straits. A number of vessels havo been damaged by the ice. The report of, Russian interference with our whaling fleet again comes to ns, but until we re- ceivo more definite information than has come to hand, we can place but little reliance on the reports. Capt. Pontius, of bark Caroline, from Kodiack, informs us that the whaleship Contest had been boarded by a Russian man-of-war steamer, (probably the Yostock, the same vessel from which the story emanated last year,) and had been warned from trading with the natives for furs, and from whaling within a distance of threo leagues from tjio shore. The Captain of tne steamer inform .Captain Ludlow that the Ituswans had quite a number of war vessels in the Ochotek Sea, and intended to prevent American whalemen from catching whales in the bays, on the Siberian coast.. .The steumer mentioned was bound to the Ocbotsk, and from thenee into the Arctic Ocean. .

The Hawauans still bang wun great iiertinacity to many of their ancient superstitions, bat to none more so than to the belief in the magic power of the kahunas. These are generally itnougn not always) old and decrepid men, blear-eyed and repul sive the more bo the more awe they inspire. An instance occurred the other day in which one of these fellows compelled a whole family father, mother and six children to pack up and leave Ilonolula for Ha waii, on pain of being " prayed to death." Some mieht conclude that it was a harmless use of power in this instance, bat they do sometimes actually kill with fright those upon whom they operate. The law is strict in regard to such practices, but law cannot always reach them. " . Hawaiian Whalemeic . In walking about he streets or visiting the clothing stores, we begin.to no tice the returned whaleme'h natives of these islands. They are always distinguished by a sleek and healthy appearance, caused by exercise and good fare m a healthy climate, aod, whenever the ship has been any way lucky, in being dressed in span new broad cloth with standing shirt collars. ot unfrequently, too, they are surrounded by a crowd of bogus rela- tions and makamakas. who perform the part of j laud-sharks as long as Jack's money lasts, and come n for a share, often the largest, of his advance when he ships again. Could this class of Hawanans be in duced to patronise the Savings Bank, a great deal of good might be the result. The Hae could advanta geously say a word on this point, and tell them that there is such an institution and explain its benefits. nooK as Ladder Company. At the regular monthly meeting of the Hook and Ladder Company Protection,", on Monday evening last, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year : Foreman, T. Spencer. Assistant Foreman, A. E. K. Burnham. Secretary, C. N. Spencer. . Treasurer, E. J. Smith. . 1 Delegate, R E. Wakeman. It was stated that the Company was in debt some where about 8100, and it was voted to endeavor to procure) subscription for the purpose of liquidating that amount, and also to procure a library for the Company's room. The Company numbers about 30 men, and would undoubtedly do good service if called upon. We hope their appeal to the liberality, of the public will be promptly met. Railroad Accident.

France at this day presents one of the most pro found political studies, an abstruse problem, which all living statesmen have been earnestly endeavoring to solve, but thus far imperfectly. The latest news from France is calculated to excite the particular attention of our Government, provided the enormous military and naval preparations that were so active ly going forward in that country, are intended to operate against Great Britain. But on this head there seems to exist some doubt To help our readers to a full understanding of what we mean, we give a condensation of the more remarkable' points, as stated in the Pans correspondence of the Courier det Etais Unit, the Boston Post, tbe Echo du Pacifique of this city, and other well informed prints, in which 1- rench aftitrr find a prominent place. Ihe internal con dition of France is justly regarded ns the index to her external policy, and never with more reason than at present; we therefore refer to it first. At last Ac counts Paris hifl been set iu a fresh uproar by the return of the numerons friends of tbe house of Orleans, who had visited England to pay their last respects to the Duchesse D'Orleans, where they came in contact with the Count de Paris. This gentleman has sud denly assumed an alarming importance, as far as the Napoleonic dynasty is concerned, which may be esti mated irom tne tact that the persons aoove referred to, numbering many of the first men in tbe nation. talked openly of the Count's pretensions to the throne or t ranee, and it was even stated that the precise words of a manifesto to appear over his name, were freely discussed. We are further informed that this manifesto will be placarded on every wall iu Paris at five o'clock an the morning of the 24th of August, in which the Count de Paris ia to annouce to tbe French people his claim to their love and honor, and right to make himself known to them byThis means. In the meanwhile, another well-authenticated attempt to assa sinate the Emperor was made by ten Italians. His Imperial Majesty only escaped by a miracle, his horse being so badly wounded that he died next day. all ttrowth of brush-woodTbut i th prison at Leleo, not really injured, but badly Four of the assassins were captured; but the affair no inhabitants. Soon after the ship struck she bilged, and lay over en her beam end, the surf breaking over her. Saved a few provisions, intruments, &c. Remained on the island ten days, during which time, owing to the heavy surf, was not able to board the ship only two d-iys. About March 14th captain, 1st officer and five men left the inland in a life-boat, and proceeded to Pitcairn's Island, about 75 miles dis tant, with the hope of fallinjr in with a whaler. On arriving at Pitcairn's, experienced great difficulty in landing, bad the boat stove in the breakers, and found the island destitute of inhabitants, these having left for Norfolk's Island two years prevtons. Found wild goafs and some vegetables growing on the island, upon which they subsisted Tour months. Daring this time, with some old tools which were found among the' deserted habitations, they constructed, with great labor a boat about thirty feet in length, fastened partly with wooden pegs and partly with iron; in which, having succeeded in launching her ou the 23d of July, Capt. Knowles, the 1st officer and two men em barked from Pitcairn's Island for Tahiti, three men preferring to remain. Met a heavy gale from the N. W., which, lasting three days, forced them to steer for Nukahiva, Marquesas Islands, where they arrived on the 4th August There they found the U. S. S. Van dalia, Capt. A. Sinclair, who at once' received them on board and set s?iil for Oeno via Tahiti, leaving Papeete Aug.. 12. Capt. S. and officers treated the. ship wrecked party with true hospitality and made all ex pedition in proceeding to the rescue of those who still remained at Oeno, numbering thirty-one persons, all told. At Tahiti Capt. Knowles remained on shore. the first officer proceeding in the Vandalia to the wreck of the If'i'W Ware.

Another discharge of powder was made on the rock at the west end of ; Market j Wharf on Tuesday. A number of spectators stood on j the wharf at the moment of the explosion, which, as ', it would be under water, no one thought of fearing. j But the blast was so powerful that a large body of water was raised by the concussion, and the old had been kept remarkably secret It will be seen that Louis Napoleon is far from being safelr seated on the throne, and his sense of insecurity will compel him.to distract the attention of the nation from him self to other important issues, the chief of which Is war.

We are indebtel to Dr. Hil lebrand for a plate of delicious honey probably the first specimen of Hawaiian-made honey that has ever been exhibited. It is not a bit inferior in color or taste to the best imported, while the wax possesses a superior whiteness.

We part with him with many regrets, and pray that his health may be fully restored, and that he may be enabled to re turn jsoon and resume his official duties. We would call the attention of his friends to a card in another column. Magazines. TbeAugust magazines come freighted with a choice variety, suited to every taste. Harper's sparkles as usual with illustrations of superior merit, and richly deserves the popularity it has long re ceived.

Napoleon has warned the Porte to cease hostilities against Montenegro on that account, but the Sultan replies by fitting out a fresh army: of twenty-five thousand men to operate against the Montenegrins. Austria supports the demands of the Porte, although repeatedly advised by the French Emperor. The Austriau journals are insolent in their tone towards France, and sneer at the Emperor forsending useless frigates which run away whenever an English man-of-war shows itself njpon the horizon." This course basso irritated Louis Napoleon that be snubs the Austrian Minister, Baron Hubner, upon every occa sion. At Statedinners, State balls and at other simi lar demonstrations, when every other Ambassador is invited. Baron Hubner is not The private accounts from France concur in stating that the Emperor's precarious tenure of the throne, cannot be much longer sustained unless by ceding to the reiterated demands of his Army, who boiling over with military ardor, clamor loudly to be led somewhere, agiiinst somebody, uo matter" who, provided their thirst for military glory be satiated. The questiou therefore is, which ofthetwoto choose, England or Austria? Aroused and on the watch, as she is, .England would inevit ably defeat any attempt against her, and such defeat would oe as inevitable destuction to the Emperor. But a war with Austra might gain Republican laurels for Napoleon, despot as he is, and what is of far more consequence to him, would probably be crowned with ; success, provided be could be assured that England would remain neutral. But the preservation of the balance of power is as important to England as to any other Fu:opean Government, and as she effectually checked the career' of the first Napoleon on that scorv, it is probable that she would interpose an insuperable obstacle to the ambitious projects of the " nephew of his nle." The peace of Europe ia very uncertain, and we are not surprised to learn that all the powers of that continent are arming for some deadly strife, of which France is the exciting cause. - In any event, the commercial interests of the . United States will be seriously affected, should war, either directly or in directly, occur between France and Eneland. or anr i other nation with which we entertain largo comtner. cial relations. ; , o : ; The Transport of Africans to thk .'Fbrnou W est Indies. The great irregularity of the West African mail steamers has ofiate interrupted the cur rent of the history of the notorious Begis contract for supplying the French West Indies with purchased Africans. The last arrivals, however, pot us in possession of some additional facts quite conclusive as to the character of this traffic. Subsequently to the news that the Portuguese authorities had refuted to allow the French purchase of negroes within the limits of tbe province of Angola, our readers may recollect that advices from the West Indies announc ed the arrival in the French "Antilles of one of M. , r " cargo oi rjju Africans, ICO of whom lost their lives in an attempt to land tfccui.
