Froia Mlkai ; against the proponed amend ment to the Cotwttitution; that the number of native rvhooU be nt diminished ; that the sala ries and num?H:r of government officers be re duced; and f.r repeal of the Prostitution Act. From A. Duirun of Honolulu, for pay aa vaccinator, he having served as such for three years without compensation. Mr. Kaaku read the Crt time a bill allowing road superviooni to commute the road labor in task work. This bill is similar to Mr. Kahoo kaumaha's bill which was rejected cn the 19th day of the sewion. Ordered for to-n.orrow. Mr. Moku read the second time a bill to reduce the tax on stallions to 5 per head. By motion of Mr. D-iwoeU the bil! was tabled. Mr. Knud:;n of the Committee on Elections, in the matter of the petition againat the validity of the election of Meters. D. 1. Baldwin and J. I). Kahookano, members from Lahaina, re- fxtrted, that, having examined into the case as ally as poseiole, and heard and taken down the testimony of no lean than 17 witnecaes, the Com mittee were of the unanimous opinion that there was n- proof of bribery. The committee therefore recommend! that the petition be tabled. The report was adopted. The Speaker announced a menage from the Nobles, stating thut they had lowed the bill reducing the number to be summoned on jury paneLt, and also tho bill admitting pig and plate iron duty free ; but had tabled the bill granting peddling licenses. Mr. Baldwin gave notice that he was about to introduce a bill repealing the Prostitution Act ; also a iSabhath act to prevent the vending of beef and vegetables or. that day. Mr. Khod'.ti read for the first time a bill to promote inter-inland communication. The bill ask for the Hawaiian Steam Navigation Co., the exclusive privilege of running a steamer or steam er between th inlands for 12 years to come, for fre-i um of water from government tanks, for free wharfage and coal depot ; that no prt charges, pay for coasting license, or taxes to imposed on said cow puny lor their steamers ; that the coal and other materials for the productive if steam and the machinery for the steamers be admitted duty free ; the company to carry the mails and receive for this sen ice 250 ier month for each steamer so employed, provided that not more than three steamers "e so paid for ; and in order i secure tne loregoing privneg.-s, toe company to have a substantial frtcamcr on the route within a specified time. Mr. Dowsett moved to reject th? bill on the ground that he was utterly opposed to anr company's monoplizing the in ter-island communication to the injury of the coasting venne's. some of which were a more permanent benefit to the public and were suetain- ed at great expense to their owners. Mr. Rhodes thought steamers a benefit to all countries, and that every government should faciliate those methods of navigation which best favored the exportation of their products; that this bill would not drive off the sailing vessels but would, according to the past two years experience, tend t Awake a healthy species of competition, which would reduce the rates of passage and freight. Mr. Webster moved that the bill he referred to a select committee ; and argued against the state ment that it would injure the coasting schooners; that he did not see that this would lie an injury to the country if the work was done better and more cheaply, and that would he nec?ssary before the schooners would be injured : that the British Government found it for their interest to spend millions in subsidizing steam line all over the world ; sailing vessels were run off these lines, but he had never heard this urged as a reason against subsidizing; and there was no question but that commerce flourished under the system ; further, it was clear, that without granting some privi leges to our Steam Co. here, we would lose the steamer ; and he would asL the members whether they were ready to revert to sailing vetwels for inter-bland traffic; that we hadju.t heard that a line of steamers touching here would soon be laid on between San Francisco and China under sub sidy from the American Government, and this was another reason why we should do everything in our power to promote inter inland steamers to faciliate the sending forward many of our pro duct for which there was at present no market. Mr. Downett withdrawing his motion, the bill was referred to a select committee consisting of Messrs. Rhodes, Harris, Kipi, Kamalo, and Kaakua. Mr. Widemann's bill, providing that liquors lie not consumed on he premises of wlmkvale venders, and that wholesale vending of liquors shall consist of selling in quantities not less than one gallon or one dozen quart bottles, was read the second time. Mr. Baldwin asked the reasons for thus reducing the limit of the quantity in wholesale vending. Mr. WiJemann stated that it was for the sake of public convenience ; and that it was not different from the practical working of the existing law. After a short de bate the bill parsed. Mr. Dowsett ' bill relating to women who become pregnant by illicit intercourse or adulte ry, passed its second reading with but little debate. Adjourned. TwESTY-f OVETH PaT Mat 20. G. B. Ukek-fand A. 31. Kahalewai both ap peared this morning, claiming the vacant seat for Koolauloa. and both presented certificates of election, that of the former signed by Judge M .Et; that of the latter, prefaced with sundry explanations, was signed by the other two iopec. tors. Mr. Webster stated the circumstances of the election, that at the chise of the poll it was found that 383 ballots had been cast, four more than the number of names on the clerk's roll, of which l'J2 were for t'keke, and 191 for Kahale wai : hence a certificate of election was given to I'keke by Mo3t, that it was afterwards discov ered by the other two inspectors that three voter had voted twice lor t'keke ; they therefore reject ed thret of his votes, and further, in order to have the number of ballots and names enrolled correspond, they rejected also one of Kahalewais Totes: this operation left I'keke 159 Totes and Kahalewai I'M : tltey two therefore gave Kahale wai a certificate. In views of these circumstances Mr. Webster thought the election could not be called a valid one. and moved that the seat for Koolauloa be declared still vacant. Mr. Kaakua thought the cheapest way. in order to save fur ther bother to the House or Inspectors, would be to accept tho certificate signed by the majority of - S J . -t T T. 1 -I J ine inspectors anu uecuire nanaiewai trie mem ber for Koolauloa : he could not see why the decision of a majority of the Inspectors in an election case was not as binding as the decision of a majority f the Judges of the Supreme Court in matters of ligitation. After a short de bate the seat was declared still vacant by a vote of 14 to 9. Mr. Dowsett's bill amending the law relating to women who became pregnant by illicit inter course, passed its third reading. Mr. Widemann's bill relating to the wholesale Tending of spirituous liquors, was read the third time. Mr. Baldwin moved to have it recom mitted. After a short debate the bill passed. Mr. Kaakua's bil!. allowing road supervisors to commute the road labor in task work, passed the eeouud reading and was ordered to be en grossed. The Speaker announced a message from the Nobles, stating, that they had passed the bill amending part 6 of Section 517 of the Civil Code, with further amendment allowing of the importation, duty free, of flour mills and ma chinery for the manufacture of cloths.

The clipper ship Lotus, Leckie, arrived cn the 31st of May, after a long passage . f 20 daj's, bringing a small Eastern mail aud the newspaper expresses. From our San Francisco files we extract and con dense the following summary of telegraphic news: YoRKTOWN KvaCTaTED BY TUE ItfcHKLS. Washington. May 4. Yorkiown was evacuated last night, and we now occupy the enemy's works. Tbey left a large amount of camp equipage and guns'. The following has juia been received by the War Department : IlEAIQtAKTfcRd Abmt or THR PutomaC, May 4. To Hon. K. .M. Stanton, Secretary of War Sir: We have taken transports, guns, ammunition and camp equipage, and we bold the entire rebel woiks, which our engineers report to be very hi rung. I have thrown all my cavalry and horse artillery in pursuit, supported by the infantry. 1 have cent Franklin's Division and as much more as can be transported by water, to West Point to-dfiy. The gunbosts have gone up the York river to Gloucester, which is also in oar possession. 1 shall push the enemy to the wall. McClellas. From army correspondents we have the following: We entered the enemy's works at 5 o'clock this morn ing, (Sunday.) which tbey bad deserted four hours before. Everything was fund in utter confusion. About 50 f ieces of artillery were left spiked. A large amount of medieil stores, ammunition, camp equip age, tents and private property of officers were left. Several deserters c ime into our liues, aud one states that the rebels evacuated owing to the near approach of our parallels, and that they feared the success of our gunboats in the York aud the James livers. Gen. Johns'. n gave orders to evacuate on Thursday, and MagruJer is said to have strenuously opposed the evacuation, saying, if tbey could not whip the Feder als here, they could not anywhere in Virginia. Deserters all agree that their troops were much demoralized and disheartened when the crder to evacuate was given, as all anticipated A fight. The rebels bad 100,000 nieu on the Peninsula, und 400 pieces of artillery. It is believed they have fallen back behind Williamsburg, where they are expected to make a stand. Geu. Stoneham. commanding a large force of cavalry and artillery, 13 in full pursuit of the enemy, and will probably come up with their rear before night, if they remain near Williamsburg. The gunboats have passed Vorktown, and are now shelling the shores. Following them are a number of vessels loaded with troops, to effect a landing. Official reports just recviveJ say the enemy have left 71 guns in the works. The Gloucester Point ordnance store was also left. All manner of speculations are rife as to the prob able cause of the evacuation of Yorkiown. The geueral opinion seems to be the temporary defense of Richmond, and the speedy abandonment of Virginia by the rebel government, should its army be so fortu nate as to elude McClellan, which is now a matter of great doubt. Others intimate a sudden offensive strategy and dush on Washington. This is regarded as absurd. A dispatch from Vorktown to the Times has the following : The retreat of the rebels appears to have been precipitate. They commenced dismounting and carrying their guns to Williamsburg four days ngo. Wugons have been engaged transporting ammunition and provisions for a week past. 2,500 sick were sent to Richmond ten days since. The rebel soldiers had negroes working on the entrenchments till 2 o'clock on Saturday morning, when the real guard was ordered to stop work and take up the march for Williamsburg. 10.000 rebels were sent from Winn's .Mill to reinforce the army sent from Richmond to oppose McDowell's advance. The rebel troops particularly those under Magruder have mutinied on several occasions within the last two weeks. 5.000 of his men threaten to lay down their arms, unless they receive food and clothing. A number of mines had been prepared for our troops, by placing Prussian shells under the giound in the roadway and entrance to the fort. No whites were to be found, and only a few negro women. The Battle at Williamsburg. A battle was fought on Monday, May 5, at this village, located a few miles inland from Yorktown. The rebels were retreating from Yorktown towards Richmond and were being pursued by the Union army under Gen. McClellan. The following is an account of the br.ttle. The battle on Monday was a warmly contested engage ment. The approaches to the earthworks were through ravines and swamps, while the rain fell in torrents throughout the day. The men had also been lying on their arms all 'he previous night, and were soaked, and the rain chilled them with cold. The battle raged from early morning until three o'chick in the afternoon, when McClellau arrived with fresh trofpa and relieved Hooker's division, who were nearly ptostrate with fatigue. The 3d Regiment of Sickles brigade had its ranks terribly thinned by the enemy's batteries. They are repre sented as having fought with such bravery that not less than 200 of them were killed and wounded. After the arrival of McClellan, the enemy were fiercely charged on ty Hancock's brigade, and were driven within their works before nightfall with a heavy loss. Nearly 700 of their dead were left on the field, with many wounded, though most of the latter were carried into Williamsburg. Our loss was nearly S00 killed and 700 wounded. During the night, the enemy fled in great confusion, and when next morning Williamsburg was occupied by the Federals, not one opponent was to be seen. The roids in the vicinity were strewed with arms and accoutrements. Yobktow.v, May 7. The latest intelligence from the field of battle is that McClellan came up with the Rebels eight miles beyo:.d William-tcirg. After a severe skirmish with their rear gutrd he put them to flight across the Chickahomioy, the bridges across which they bad burued. We have received a large additional number of deserters, who bad nothing to eat for forty-eight hours but a few hard biscuit. When brought in they fell down exhausted. Heavy cannonading was beard at an early hour this morning by boats coming down the river. The result is not known. There is no doubt that the whole Rell army is in a state of disorganization, unltr the pursuit of McClellan, and fleeing with great precipitation with out the iutention of making a stand anywhere. Un less they reach Richmond by I oats via the James river, they will certainly be intercepted by the forces landeJ at West Point. Not less than fifty steamers are engaged transporting the balance of our army to that point. On Monday 1 st the enemy took one Pennsylvania battery, having first killed all the horses. The bat tery having but a small infantry support, was over powered aud compelled to surrender lefore the close of the day. The battery was, with one of the enemy's, recaptured. The rebels burned their gunboats on York river yesterday morning. We have taken many prisoners. Two companies of the 8th Illinois cavalry are report ed captured by the enemy. Gen. McClellan was struck by a fragment of shell, but was not injured. The roads are in a bad conJitiou, which greatly im pedes our advance. New Yopk. May 9. A telegram from Gen. Marcy, of General McClellan's staff, says that the forces engaged at Williamsburg were 30,000 Fede-nls and 50,000 relels. Gen. Joe Johnston led the latter in person. They have lost several of their best officers. Our men fought valiantly, and used the bayonet freely. The following account of Gen. Hancock's bayonet charge is published in the Herald to-day : There was scarcely a hundred yards between the rebels and our men when our skirmish fire ceased. The Fifth Wiscousln and 43d New York formed to close order; at long-range, musket barre's came In a level and one terrible volley tore through the rebel ranks; some long-range muskets came to second level, and at the order Charge byonets," away went the two regi ments, amidst loud cheers. Gallant as the foe were, tbey could not stand this, and for a space generally estimated at three-quarters cf a mile, they ad ranee-1 under a fire splendidly served from a battery, with a cloud of skirmishers stretched across their front. The whole fire was very destructive. The rebels had not tbe nerve, broke, and fled in a complete panic. Washisgto.v. May 9. The War Department has received the following : General Franklin's and General Sedgwick's di vision, numbering twenty thousand men. landed at West Point. Gen. s division embarking for tbe same destination, together with several batte ries.

Farragut had proposel terms of capitulation to the Mayor, which terms the latter accepted. New Orleans, at the last accounts, was held by tbe battalion of marines from tbe federal squadron. The Petersburg, V.. Express, of the 29th April, has a long editorial regarding the loss of New Orleans. It says : The city was captured by federal gunboats, tbey being encased in wet hay. so that hot and cold shot were of no use." The LctiUiana, (rebel) mount ing 27 guns, was sunk, the Kxpress says, by federal steel pointed couical shot. Their cotton was destroy ed by fire, and the sugar was emptied in the river. The specie in tbe banks was all removed, when Gen. Lovell started from the city. Cairo, Mat 5. A refugee from Memphis a week since, reports that the Memphis papers of Sunday last published a dispatch announcing the occupation of Raton Rouge, by the federal forces. Butler's army had landed and occupied New Or leans. A large number of citizens bad held public rejoicings, which were attended by hundreds who indulged in enthusiastic demonstrations of joy. In the passage of our gunboats up the river, no opposition was made. At Baton Rouge, the r:bel troops lately enlisted were stationed ; they all fled at tbe approach of the fleet. Publication of news in regard to movements of the federal fleet was forbidden by the Southern authorities ; but the informant learned from persons from below that the gunboats bad passed Fort Adams, and were near Fort Dana. At Vicksburg. the fortifying, which had been in progress of construction last week, was nearly com pleted. Guns of heavy calibre had been sent from Memphis and mounted for its defense. The rolling stock of different railroads had been concentrated at Memphis to take away citizens ou the approach of the enemy. In all the cities und towns along the river there was great terror at the unexpected capture of New Orleans. Great indignation was felt towards Gen. Lovell, who was accused of cowardice and im becility. Louisville, May 8. Two thoroughly reliable Ken tucky gentlemen, just arrivid from New Orleans, report that all along tbe Mississippi, from Memphis to New Orleans, there was one general bonfire of property, particularly of cottoc, of which from 11,000 to 12.0O0 bales were burned in New Orleans. The people of the river towns were all retreating inland, destroying property along all the tributaries of the Mississippi. The planters in many cases werenpply iug the torch to their own property. Among a great number of planters, but one man was found who objected to the burning of lis cotton. Matters about Corinth. Cairo, III., May C. Intelligence from Pittsburg Landing says that on Sunday (May 4tb) Gen. Pope by placing a battery of artillery in tbe open field, near Farmington, iu sight of three regiments of re bels, succeeded in luring them on to take the battery. He took the whole force prisoners, numbering 2,000. Monterey, Tenn., May 6. Rain has fallen in tor rents during the last 24 hours, putting the roads in a horrible condition. General ilalleck moved bis headquarters to this place yesterday from Pittsburg. Our pickets can distinctly hear the drums beat at the rebel caaips, and the locomotives whistle at Corinth. Huutsville aud Bridgeport, Ala., were occupied by our troops May 3. Two six-pounders aud all the rebels ammunition were captured. The inhabitants report that the enemy fled in great confusion. The correspondent of the Commercial, with Gen eral Halleck's army, gives the following official figures of our losses at the battle of Shelah Pittsburg Land ing : 1,735 killed, 7,883 wounded, 3,'JOS missing. About 300 of the wounded have since died. Our burial parties report 2,500 to 3,000 rebels fouud dead on the field. Up to May 8, there bad been no engagement, tbe armies being but two miles apart. Congress. Washington, May 6. Dispatches to the New York papers say that the Select Committee of the House on the Confiscation and Emancipation bill have in structed their Chairman to report. Of the two bills, the first is agreed to by Noel I (Mo.,) Elliott, Hutchins, Beamin and Sedgwick, and opposed by Mallory (Ky.,) and Cobb (N. J.) It confiscates all real and personal property of leading classes of the rebels, who shall continue in rebellion after the passage of the bill. By another section, the property oft all others who continue CO days in rebellion after tie passage cf the act, shall share the same fate. The President is to seize the property, but the Courts are to insti tute proceedings. The claims of loyal citizens are made liens on the property taken. Washington, May 6. The House to-day adopted a resolution for the impeachment of W. II. Hum phreys, Judge of the U. S. District Cou-t of the State of Tennessee, for high crimes and misdemeanor. The Pacific Railroad and Telegraph bill has passed the House of Representatives by 85 majority. Miscellaneous. The Herald's dispatch says that the Administra tion is fully satisfied that tbe road to Richmond is open and that tbe rebel army of the East is utterly routed. New York, May 10. The steamer Oriental, from Port Royal, Cth, has arrived. The rebel steamer .ashville has got into Wil mington. The sailing sloop-of-war Jamestown, was the only blockading ship there, and the pirate slipped by. The Time's dispatch says that the main road of retreat up York Peninsula is close on the bank of York river, which will bring the rebel army in range of our gunboats that are conducting Franklin's transports to Iheir rear. This division doubtless will be able to intercept the rebel retreat aud force them to give battle or surrender. McClellan has transports sufficient to forward 200,000 troops from Yorktown to West Point imme diately, and it will not be surprising if he captures the bulk of the rebel army and takes Richmond with in a week. Washington, May 6. The New York Times' dispatch says, that the French Minister has gone to Richmond, to assure the rebel government that the Emperor does not recognize them as a power among nations. England and France by recognizing them as belligerents did all that could be expected on the part of neutral governments. Continued hostilities, by the threatened destruction of the cotton and to bacco crops, would only lie a wanton injury to the commerce of the world, injuring France aud England even more than the United States. That the resort to a guerrilla warfare, as proposed when their armies were destroyed, would demoralize society and would be simply a return to barbarism. The rebels have been admonished, therefore, that the cessation of ' ostilities is a duty to themselves, and which all civilized nations will unite in requiring of them. Gen. Law ton, commanding the rebel forces at Savannah, Ga., has formally communicated to the City Council his determination to surrender. The City Council resolved to sustain Gen. Law too. Washington", May 3. The Navy Department ba just received dispatches from Com. Dupont, announc ing the capture of the rebel steamer Ella It'arley by the Santiago tie Cuba, deeply loaded with Enfield rifles. It is supposed she has cannon in her fore hold, which had not been looked into at the time the steamer bearing dispatches left. The Santiago de Cuba also chased tbe .Yasuville, but the latter was too swift for her. The JYashcille was nlso loaded with arms, intending to run the blockade. The United States steamer Merciilitti., on the 7th April, near the " Hole in the Wall." captured the steamer Bermuda, with 4,200 pounds of powder, 7 field carriages, and a number of cannon, swords, pistols, shells, etc. She has been taken to Philadel phia. Cairo, May 4. A refugee from Vicksburg, Miss.t who left Memphis on Thursday, says the particulars of the fall of New Orleans produced great consterna tion. icksburg, Natchez, and other places are entirely deserted, most of the people having fled into the interior. The rebel gunboat fleet arrived at Memphis on Tuesday, and immediately went up to Fort Pillow. The Memphis papers do not believe that Commodore Farragut's fleet would come up tbe river that far. The steamer It'rishl was fired into on Friday night (May 3d.) six miles below Savannah, and five soldiers were wounded. The inhabitants were notified that the town would be burned cn a repetition of such an occurrence. Fort Macon, N. C, has been captured by the Burnside expedition, with 400 men and all the arms aud ammunition. According to reliable information from Richmond, the planters are determined to raise no tobacco this season, and the military had received the stock on hand, to prevent its falling into tbe hands of tbe Federal army. The Nashvilhi Union of May 3, contains a call, signed by 105 influential citizens, for a meeting to take measures to restore Tennessee to her former Federal relations. Washington, May 5. The State Department has issued a circular addressed to tbe Foreign Ministers, announcing the opening of communication with New Orleans. The mails hereafter will be allowed to pass from that place and other places which, having been seized by tbe insurgents, have since been recovered. The necessary preparations also are being made to modify the blockade so far as to permit limited ship, roents to be made to and from that place and one or two other ports which are now closed by the blockade. The Senate to day conSrmel Charles W. Lrthrop A.W'VJW.v JWWill General McClellan has telegraphed that the rebels bave been gax'.tj of most murderous and barbarous conduct They placed torpedoes in their abandoned works, at wells and springs, near a flag staff, and in carpet bags and barrels of fijur. Fortress Monroe, May 2. A vessel that left Norfolk last night, arrived this rooming. Com. Tatnall, in command of the .Vrrrintir, received sealed orders on Monday and sailed, but, on opening them in Elizabeth river, found he was ordered to run the blockade and proceed up the York rier. He thereupon returned to Norfolk, and immediately resigned bis eomniisMon ; his chief officers followed his example. New York May 3. The Times' special Wash ington despatch says the town nas been startled by a rumor to-day that tbe members of Congress from Border Slave States, and a number of conservative sympathisers from other States, seriously considered the propriety of withdrawing in a body from the Senate nd House, in consequence of the determina tion of :he radicals to force tbe passage of the Con fiscation bill. This would throw the question before the people. Fortress Monroe, May 7- President Lincoln ar rived here this morning. This afternoon be visited Newport News to have a clear view of the .Wrrriihac, which has been lying off Craney Islaud, wsiting for the purpose no doubt, of preventing our gunboats running up the James river. Baltimore, May 6. Among the prisoners taken at Yorktown, is the chief engineer of Gen. Johnston's staff, who states that the rebel army numbers 85.000. He gives a deplorable account of the condition of the rebel army, aud says that it will be unable to make a stand anywhere this side of Richmond. Its retreat commenced at daylight on Saturday morning. The Rebel tug "J. B. White." with a crew, from Norfolk, ran over to Newport News, May 9, and sur rendered. Sewall's Point is being evacuated.

IT IS PROPOSED TO FORM A NEW Company, under the alwve title, on tbe following basis : 1st. The Company to consist principally of all the Suyar Companies, Planters. Merchants and freighters on the different Islands. No one of which to hold a prcK:ideratinK interest in the Company, or if they do. to bave only the aame vote as Shareholders with less interest. 2d. It is propo&ed to purchase the steamer "Kilauea as well as tbe Charter privileges. Buildings, c. of tbe Hawaiian Steam Navigation Company, at a fair valuation. 3d. To apply to the Legislature now ia session, fr a new Charter, extending the time of the present one to fifteen years ; and to grant the new Company a subsidy for carrying the mails, and Uie privilege of having steamers of a site to suit the trade, and to be allowed also to own and run schooners if they choose; but the schooners to have no special privileges. 7 he Company to forfeit all their privileges should they fail for twelve months to run a steamer of not less than 1HU tons. 4th To run the "Kilauea" in tho meantime, as long as she pays her expenses, or until she can be sold, when a suitable boat is to be purchased or ordered, such as the Company may decide upon. 5th. To purchase clipper Schooners, or admit them into the Company at a valuation. The Company to run them until they find by experience, whether it will lie to their interest to replace them with, or convert them into steam vessels. It will be seen tliat on this principle, the Planters and the Public, as well as tbe new Company, place themselves in an absolutely safe position, for they will have it in their power to command the freight, and to run steamers or sailing vessels, or both, whichever proves to be most profitable, and most to tbe general interest, whilst the planters a ill never be left without vessels to bring their produce to market. The rbject ut divid ing up the shares is. besides the evidnt one of interesting the whole community, that the boats can be run without insurance, as the interest that each person holds being small, and also each shareholder owning a share in a number of comparatively small vessel, one insures the other; whilst should their large steamer be lost, the schooners or st'-aro-srhooners would do a good business, and pay interest on her cost and their own. until a new vessel could be olKained. With regard to the Charter to be applied for, no delay need take place in applying for shares in the new Company on that account, as until it is obtained the purcliase will not go into effect unless by consent of the Shareholders. No cash advances will be required by Shareholders, as the approved notes ef any Planter. Merchant, or c.tiren will be taken for the property to be purchased. No one applying fir shares will be bound to take them, until he approves of the steps taken, and resolutions passed at the first meeting of the sulMCribers. the date of which will be duly advertised ; and if he does not approve of same, be can with draw hi application. Applications for shares will be received by the undersigned in the form hereto annexed. It is proposed that no one firm or individual be allowed to take more than $3Oo0 interest in the new Company, or if they d.j, that they will have the same num ber of votes as a Shareholder, holding $3000 stock. All applications for shares will be granted in the order they are received by the undersigned. J W. U GREEN, Secretary to the Hawaiian Steam and General Inter-Island Kavig&t'.on Co.
