Imperial Majesty's Consul for Tonga and Samoa; and for the King of Tonga, William Tugi, President of the Legislative Assembly of Tonga the Rev. S. W. Baker. Wesleyan Minister, acting as interpreter. By tbe 95th article the King of Tonga leases to the German Government the use of ground at a suitable place for a coaling station. . Exhibition at Stdxet In the month ol April next there will be opened at Sydney, N. S. W., an exhibition of agricultural product and industrial arts, to-' which Hawaii has been invited to contrib ute. At tbe suggestion of our government, the subject was brought before the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce at their meeting on Wednesday last, and a committee wad appointed consisting of Messrs W. L. Green,' P. C- Jones and "J. C.

Tbe agent in this city, Mr. 51.

He advises that holders of policies on which payments may be due, should secure the same, pending tbe annouacement of results,' indi cating a hope that the difficulty may be tided over. Tbe business of life insurance is extremely well patronized in these islands, and the Security " has had a fair share. Police Cocrt.

Lackawanna to a gentleman of this city, dated at Mazatlan, Dec. 15, sajs : " As usual, tbe people ber are of the ere of a revolotitm j everybody Is armed; the rebels are just outside the town, tbe gunboats are cruising iu the mouth ol tbe harbor, and demands are being made, rejected, accepted, and so on, so tbat one can hardly keep trace of this final! fuss, events move so fast. A bombardment is reported as momentarily expec ted, one of tbe gunboats having come iu and, an chored and ordered most cf the shipping out of the line of fire. These gun-boats are u new acqui sition by Mexico, new, of steel, powerful and fast, iust from England. It appears tbat tbe crews have not been paid for three months, and that tbey are disgusted in consequence. A demand of $30.- 600 is made by tho officers to pay off tbe ships, or they will bombard tbe town. As soon as tbe affair is settled we are going to San Francisco, discharge our overtime meu, reCt, and everybody says there is nowhere else to go to but Honolulu, which will just suit us. ' ; , We want a Slip! To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser : Dear Sir : The subject of a slip or dry dock has often been discussed by masters of vessels trading to and from this port. Nearly every vessel that arrives here needs some repairs ; and to .haul a vessel over by the old-fashioned and absurd manner as is now practiced besides the enormons expense is well known to be the most injurious, as it strains masts, J planks and every bolt in ber.yThe Government baa gone to considerable expense tb build a slip ttptciallyt for tbe purpose of hauling up and repairing the Ptle, and why not make the slip somewhat substan tial and permanent for the convenience of other ves-- sels ? )A slip of this description is all that is needed fbrtftrSr fleet of coasting .vessels; and would, I am confident, repay the government in six months the expense of fitting up the slip for permanent use. - And ' as our fleet are only small vessels the power required for hauling them up would not be so great as haul ing up the Pele. Every port in the world (except Honolulu) has some convenience for repairing ves sels, even the small Island of Tahiti has a slip and other apparatus capable of repairing vessels up to bUU tons. Ana why should such & thriving place as Honolulu be behind hand in such necessaries? If it were known tbat Honolulu possessed a slip, it would not only be an inducement for owners of vessels to come here for repairs, but would give constant em ployment to oar ship builders and others. Xnutiftg Mr. Editor you will use your utmost in getting this great evil remedied and . confer a boon upon the owners of our Hawaiian fleet of coasters, I am, respectfully yours, Skipper. Mn. Editor: In the Advertiser of Jan. 6th, your remarks on drunkenness prevailing fo A large extent during the late holidays are closed by the sentence: There can be no question that if a portion of the energy and adroitness which have lately been displayed id suppressing the opium traffic were employed in ferreting out and prose cuting the sellers and furnishers of gin, the latter business would soon be crippled," etc You will admit that your charge - is rather a serious one as implying a neglect of duty in regard to ferreting out tbe selling of illicit gin.. There is, as you must admit, a great difference ia ferreting out and prosecuting the sale of gin from the opium traffic. Opium you know is declared by law a con traband article. In fact the law goes so far as to make even the possession or the ! se of oplam a criminal offence. The Custom House officials are acting as an extra aid' to the police in detectiog the landing of opium, incited to a strict surveillance not only by their official duties but by an extra reward. Through the exertions of tbe Custom House officers the police receive sometimes valuable bints that opium, in spite of their vigilance, has been landed and while the aose of a Custom,. House, officer be comes expert to smell opium hidden on board of a vessel, the noses of policeman become also expert in smelling in the street the more powerful stink of burning opium in close quarters, which of course leads to arrest. Natives may drink ever so much bad gin in their houses, but I suppose there is not a nose in Honolulu of so fine a scent that could in tbe street smell out the locality where bad gin disappears in thirsty throats. And if perhaps through some noise or hilarity the police should enter in upon a festive board of gin consumers, what then ? they could neither arrest the merry revellers for drinking bad gin, nor confiscate-the gia, and aan of the gin drinkers would be so foolish as to( know where the gin was bought , or who purchased it, and thumbscrews you know are out'of use. Tbat drunk enness among natives, and drunks from liquor bare been of late on the increase is not to be denied ; although there were times in Honolulu, when swipe and beer dens were licensed when drunkenness was even more plentiful than in the days to which you refer. 1833. A few since, years it was much faster for the police to arrest illicit liqaor'traf&s, than it has been of late Then there were only the whole sale and retail dealers under surveillance, and as the number of these were very limited, it was not a very difficult task to watch their in and out goings-.. But since the free importation, of Chinese aad ths establishment cf .hundreds of retail stores-all over town and for miles around the town, the ferreting out the selling of gin is a very difficult matter, as it may be said that nearly every one of these Chinese shops purchases liqsor in auction, aid either send it to the different islands or retail it on tbe sly, and while the police is well aware of these facta bo eoo viction can be procured without evidence sufficient to convict. Only a week ago, in making an arrest and eeizure of opium, twenty-five bottles of bad gin were also found, ready for illicit sale; the opium was contraband and was taken, the gin was not. Retail and wholesale dealers have been arrested and fined, again and again. The police is well aware that retail and wholesale dealers in liquor are not much infringing the laws, but the last, legislature has permitted Cbiueie'to. keep, jobbing bouses,' and instead of facilitating the efficiency of tha police by this means most seriously cripple the same by facili tating tbe distribution of bad gin from those jobbing bouses to every Chinese, Japanese and native house. Let the government do away with the jobbing houses and restrict the sale of liquor to wholesale, and. retail dealers', and make v liquor a ootraband like opium in the hands or houses of all to whom tbe law" forbids the sale 'of liquor, and the poiic: will soon show you, that it is as eneTgitw In spoiling the illicit liquor traffic aa the opium business."

From M. de Vsrtgny's 18 years in UawsU Mr. de V&xigny tells why the Chinese -were induced to come here. The qufstk-B which presented itself for solution was, , therafure, how to procure for our planters a sufficiency1 of labor at a fair price, in a country where tbe rate of iaterest ia 12 per ccat. If I advert again here to the rate of interest, it is because the price of labor is ordinarily highest where money is dear. What localities would be moat favorsbls for us to obtain the hinds of which ' we stood In need T Europe and America were not to be thought of. Certainly I would have contemplated with pleasure the arrival of European emigrants who might have come to the islands to better their own condition as well as ours, to make our fields to lloisom, and to swell the ranks of the partisans cf Hawaiian Inde pendence. ' But the warmth cf the climate, distance, and the expense of tbe voyage were insurmountable objections. In America the price of labor was higher taaa a thtfislands. and they, too were iawaato bands. Oceanica and Asia were then tba only sources from which we could draw. I was very strongly in favor of Oceanica, because of the similar ity of race. To bring in immigrants of the same race, would be profitable both to them aod to as; to them because tbey would promptly assimilate with a people whose langusge, traditions and mode of life had so much in common with their .own; for as be cause we would thus avoid the introduction of a new element often dangerous and always embarrassing, the absorbing of which would be very difficult. The numerous islands of the Pacifio Ocean were inhabited by a population little if at all civilized, divided into tribes, always at war with each other Famine was frequent among' them,' notwithstanding tbe richness of the soil, and civilization was retarded at every step by the same obstacles which it had en countered eighty years before ia the Hawaiian Isl ands. I dreamed that I might pursue by peaceful means the work commenced by Kamehameha I, by attaching little by little.these different groups to the political statu of the archipelago, to civilize them by labor and by commerce, to make them consider Kamehameha V as their king, or at least as their protector and representative among the family of nations. I might thus serve the common cause of progress, and whilst extending our influence draw to us their surplus population, and send them mission aries and school-masters of their own race; make them appreciate the advantages of peace and preach to them by the force of example; such was my dream, and I could not realize any of it. But perhaps others will realize it some day,' If the independence of the islands is maintained and the covetousness of the United States permits. With the exception of Tahiti, New Caledonia, Rltca"td some other islsnds peculiarly governed, and very costly to France, the rest of Polynesia and Micronesia serves as a field of battle for the Cal.no lio, Protestant and Anglican raiseioBarks, jealous of each other, always ready to make an international matter of their personal griefs; these missionaries, op to this'tlme, have obtained very email results, if tbe efforts and the amounts of the money expended by their several churches shall be taken into consid eration. . f.; 1 . . I have often asked myself In presence of the facts which I could vouch for with certainty, whether this fury of propagandi8tn had not its origin in sectarian hostility, rather than in the desire to do good. I do ' not, indeed, doubt the personal devotion of the mis sionaries, and I am now speaking of those who direct them rather than of themselves. I have too often unhappily seen examples of tbe sad consequences which this zeal for proselytiam, has proluoed, not to speak my whole thought, even at the risk of wound, ing the' susceptibilities of those' whom I profoundly respect. From Cochin China, to New Caledonia, from Ihe New Hebrides to (he Hawaiian tslandr, It is sufficient tbat one missionary should put his foot on any one island, and the rival seats immediately send forth their missionaries. What is the result among the catives I Almost everywhere, hypocrisy, ffen Indifference. ' Tbey teTIe've the' missionaries when they attack one another, and they do not be lieve them when they proclaim themselves the only possessors of the truth. Throughout Polynesia and Micros seia, the kanaka believes 'the, Cat bolls 1'rleat I when h aanooaoes that the Protestant Minister ia a wolf in sheep's clothing, and he likewise believes the Protestant when he proclaims that the Catholio is an idolator, and his form of worship very nearly approaching to paganism. It is invariably thus that the, struggle commences, when soma day, a shipof-wsr arrives'aod the com mander, as is natural, takes sides with his country men, and an armed force is j ut at the service of a religious cause. Some tribe in obedience to the in stigation of foreigners, has badly received the mis sionaries or has driven them away; artillery ' is brought to bear upon them, and to obtain satisfac tion for wrongs too often real, the villages are burnt and the inhabitants are killed ; and thus tbey sow tbe seed cf hatred against a civilization which steks to convince ly force. 1 I exaggerate nothing ; tbe facta are so patent that a blind man may see them. Whilst I writ even, China is ordering the expulsion of all missionaries from her borders, and blood will aj ajrj be shed on' the hanks of the Yang-tse-Kiang in the name of the God of peace and charity. The connection of these reflections with the subject which , out author has ander treatment at the moment, is not very obvious; but still we thought tbey wouli interest our resders. Ed. P. C A J It was exactly to this same China, tbat it was necessary for us to look for the laborers without whom our plantations must remain uncultivated. For centuries, Asia Las had tbe privilege of furnish ing laborers for the entire world. In our own time, it is Asia, which in the person er' the Chinese has made the working of the Chincha Guano Islands possible.' The Chinese hare constructed the Great Pacifio Rail Road which binds New York to San Francisco'. ladia bss furnished its Uill-eooliea to the Isthmus of Pannms. Tbe Placers of California are filled with Chinamen and already in spite of un just legislation, they are flowing on towards New York and the Eastern States. It is in vain, that Europe and America, who have opened the porta of I China at tbe cannon's month to obtain an entrance for their- merchants, their musionarlet ' and their productions, should by Strang inconsistency refase the Chinese access to their territories ; circumstances stronger than law are prerootlag this pew Wad f ... 1 .
