A formidable rival to Dr. Cum mlng has arisen in Australia, and has pub lif bud a book containing the most dreadful prophecies, supported by incontrovertible passages of Scripture. Ills renders are in lormed that, contrary to common belief, tbe earth, instead of being orange-shape, has the shape of a pine-apple, and is elongated, in stead of being flattened at the poles; that this elongation hat got to such a pitch that the earth is about to change its centre of gravity; Rome is to be suddenly overwhelm ed, and seen no more forever; and the whole noi'Jicrn hemisphere will share more or less tr Ue tremendous disturbance. The dwel lers on the north side of the equator are in formed, however, that by emigrating im mediately to Australia they may escape the threatened catacltsm.and, after it is over, return tu enjoy the new earth, which is to be so pervaded witb current of magnetism and electricity that the soli will be fruitful be yond the power ofthe liveliest imagination to conceive, and man Is to Uveas longastbe oak of the forest. We doubt whether the terrors of the Impending catastrophe, or even the cheerful prospect held out to the surviv ors, will largely affect emigration to tbe an tipodes this year. The expounder of this theory I. however, so dreadfully in earnest that be threatens to coma out with another and bigger book next year supported by more Scripture; from which wc infer that tbe northern hemisphere Is in no immediate 1 danger. iV. Y. Timet. As Arkansas negro, expounding tbe Scrip tures, bad occasion to touch upon antedilu vian longevity, and in the course of his re marks said that In those days men didn't many before they were 300, and, in fact, were 83 years old before they were born.

It will be noticed In onr advertising columns that Professor Martin will give an afternoon performance to-morrow, for the accommodation of ladles and children.

Price, sails to-day for England, via Tahiti, Opara and Valparaiso. She has been in this port about three weeks, and has been a pleasant, though unexpected, visitor to our Islands. The Postmaster-General has been notified that the &otii-will take the mall for Tahiti and other ports. High YVateh. From a Hawaiian corres pondent, we learn that an extraordinary high tide, or tidal wave, as be calls it, happened at Kahanaloa, Puna, Hawaii, Oct. 1st, at nine o'clock P. SL . The sea swept away the church, tbe canoe houses, tbe fences, and in vaded several dwellings, causing considera ble loss. The tidal wave of April Sd, be says, was small compared to the rise of the sea on tbls occasion. Tun Storm. The southerly wind and rainy weattcr tbat we had in Honolulu, from Sept. VJth to Oct 8th, prevailed throughout the group. The rains have been copious and abundant, and most favorable for plantation crops. There was not any heavy and dam aging wind except on Kauai, where, on Sat urday the 3d Inst, it blew almost a hurricane, chopping all rouud the compass. At Llhne about 5,000 dollars damage was sustained in tbe breaking down of the cane in the fields. The water flume of Mr. G. Wilcox was thrown down. At Koloa, the sea swept away the wharf and caused other damage. The fury of tbe gale seemed to culminate around Walmea, where several houses were thrown down, and the fine stone church building was extensively damaged. Two-thirds of the northern wall of the building fell, racking and straining tbe roof frame and otherwise damaging the whole structure. In Honolulu on Thursday the 1st Jnst, the barometer stood at 80.03, wind N. E. moderate. It fell in the next twenty-four hours to 29.90, wind still N. E. but squally; and on Saturday it chopped suddenly to tbefi. E. with heavy squalls and rain, and the barometer remained at 29.00 until the following Monday. The weather Is still unsettled although the rains have abated. Smoec. Monday last the mountains and atmosphere was loaded with smoke, and yes terday the same appearance was still observ able, though in less degree. When such smoke makes its appearance, it is believed by many to be a sure Indication of fresh out breaks of the volcano on Hawaii. Tbat Is land has been obscured by smoke since tbe 23d of September, and yet by the steamer and schooners that have arrived from thence last week, we have no accounts of new volcanic activity. California was having a'smoky at mosphere on . tbe 17th of September, which they attributed to vast fires in the woods to the northward of them, and we bear that these fires extend up to the woods in Oregon? The conflagration of the forests,- in many parts of tbe world this year, is rather singu lar. In Canada, the people of many places have had hard work to prevent their towns from being burned up. In Europe heavy loss and damage has been sustained by the forest fires. The present year may be noted for Etnoke as well as other unusual physical phenomena. Tn.E TrtEATT. On Friday last, a number of our planters dud others interested in su gar growing, called on the Minister of Fi nance, late Envoy to Washington, to talk over matters connected withliis mission, and the prospects of tbe Treaty. Mr. Harris gave a sketch of the obstacles he encountered In the prosecution of the object of his mission, and arguments against the Treaty which ho had endeavored to meet; also, the reasons that made it probable tbat at its next session the Senate might be disposed to regard the ratification favorably. The necessity of com-1 blned and persevering advocacy of the meas ure here, and a dissemination abroad of the reasons for its passage, was a point assented to by those present. It seems to be a settled conviction in the community that the Gov ernment ought to have au envoy or special agent at Washington, until the Treaty Is either rejected or ratified, and tbat the late Envoy should be sent again. A memorial to His Majesty, has been circulated, and has re ceived tbe signatures of our most prominent residents. The Wm. Rotch, CapL E. F. Nye, arrived on Monday from the Ochotsk, with 1100 bar rels of oil and S009 pounds of bone Sho has made a very successful cruise, especially as she lost about six weeks of tbe season on account of going to Japan for medical as sistance. Unfortunately tbe small-pox made its appearance after the ship had left Hako dadl, on tbe 1st of May, bound for the sea. There were eight cases in all, four of which proved fatal. May 27, died, Frank Thomas, a Portuguese of tbe Western Islands. June 14, Joo Rorotonga, of Rorotonga. July 8, Charles Miller, boatsteercr, of Rorotonga. Aug. 6, Wm. n. Alien, boatsteercr, of Prov idence, Rhode Island. The ship touched again at Hakodadi June 13, to procure medi cine and help for tho sick. Off our harbor, being reported by tbe health-officer, she was visited by Dr. McKibbln, the Port Physician. The last case having occurred early in August, aud the Captain having then thrown over board all tbe clothing and bedding nsed by the sick, and thoroughly fumigated the ship and whitewashed the quarters, the vessel was allowed to enter the harbor, and Officer Dayton was charged witb the duty of using farther disinfectants before allowing tbe crew to land. Tbetp seems to be no reasonable cause to fear that the contagion atlll exist on board. Tkaoedt at Sea. By the H'm. Jiotch, CapCE?F. Nye, from tbe 0chotsk8ea, we have accounts of the mutiny at sea of China men, off the coast of Peru, and tbe horrid butchery of tbe officers and crew of the ship. Tbe particulars, as far as Capt. Nye learned them, are as follows : About tbe beginning of February last, a Peruvian bark left Callao for a port distant only two days' sail, having on board filly Chinese, (who had been engaged fora planta tion in tbat neighborhood;) and rice and other supplies for tbe plantation. Tbe owner of the bark, with his Chinese servant, were passengers, and there was also $20,000 in specie on board. Tbe next day after leaving Callao, the Chinese rose upon the crew, and gained possession of the ship. They killed the man at tbe wheel and the second mate at once, and drove the crew below. The captain and male attempted to escape by jumping overboard from the cabin windows, having first thrown over some chairs, or other floating articles, but tbey were soon dispatched in tbe water, tbe wretches lower ing a boat for that purpose. Tbe owner, with his revolver, making his stand in the cabin to sell his life as dearly as possible, kept them at bay, and finally was promised bis life on condition of giving np his weapon. The crew, nine in number, were brought into tbe wslst of the ship and lashed to a hawser, to which a kedgc anchor was bent, and all were tumbled overboard, to perish beneath the water, naving accomplished tbeir crncl design, and freed themselves of the officers and crew, tbey headed the ship out upon the broad Pacific Ocean, with the purpose of reaching China. With no knowl edge of navigation, or the variation of the compass, and only the idea that they must stretch out westward to reach China, tbey brongbt up, after 73 days, among tbe Kurilc Islands, passed through into the Ochotsk Sea, and got into tbe Ice. They lay in the ice six days, and filled up their water-casks, having suffered greatly on the passage across from shortness of water. Tbey still kept to tbe Eorthward,Vidently having no distinct knowledge of where they were, and finally came to anchor off the "Sand-spit," In North east Gulf, on the 23d of April. Tbey here put the owner and bi6 servant, who bad been confined all the time to the cabin, ashore, and aftcwards got under way and stood to the westward. This is the last news we have of tbe ship, but the opinion of the whalemen is, tbat she could not get faraway, as her sails were all blown to pieces, pro visions short, and tbat they have not suffi cient nautical knowledge to get ont of the Sea. Probably tbey have. run herashore, and dispersed themselves among the Indians of tbe Kamtscbatka coast. For several weeks the owner and his servant managed to escape starvation, and the -rigor of the climate, by the friendliness of tbe Indians, and by tbeir means, finally, to get on board the Sea Breeze, Capt. Hamilton, when she came into the Gulf. The servant is on board tbu Jfercvlet, Capt. Howland. Wc have tbe name neither of the Peruvian ship, nor of the owner, who has passed tbrongb ench terrible hardships, but as be will soon arrive in tbe Sea Breeze, tbe full particulars and circumstances of this horrid affair can tben be obtained. Shipwrecked Japanese. Some months since, we noticed the return of some ship wrecked Japanese by the Hawaiian bark Eagle. These Japanese were discovered on SL Peter's Island, n bich is' 000 miles south of Yokohama, by Capt. Nyc of tbe WtUiant Hatch, and by him taken away and finally put on board the Eagle and Ohio. This Island Is a barren place, without fresh water, but full of albatross' and other sea birds. It is rather a fatal island for Japanese navigators, several of tbeir vessels having been lost there, and weary Imprisonment of mouths and years en dured by the survivors. Capt. Nyc had ono on shore to procure bird's eggs, and was just shoving off when he saw In Die distance these Japanese coming down tbe beach. They approached him with supplicating ges tures and low obclsencc. and when assured that they could goon board tbe ship they ex-1 blbitcd great joy and gratitude. They1 bad been eighteen months on the island, subsist ing on fish, birds and eggs. These and other former shipwrecked men have constructed five cave houses in tbe rock. In their house tbe captain found hundreds of egg shells fill ed with water, caught from the rains and preserved in these frail containers. Captain 3!anjcrou, ofthe Japanese navy, whom some of onr readers may remember by reason of his visit to Honolulu, was a shipwrecked tenant of this same island for many months. The Japanese had been one mouth on board the Boteh, when they were transferred to the the ships bound in to Yokohama. Fire. A lively alarm of fire, about two o'clock Sunday morning, turned out all our fire companies, and the town, generally. It was a quiet, still night, lighted by the wan ing moon, and although everybody was per suaded there was a fire somewhere, its local ity was not to be found. No glare upon tbe sky indicated the spot, and even tbe most sagacious fireman was at fault. It is now thought that the alarm arose from some night cooking by tbe natives, out towards Palama. SuitEitE ComtT. The October Term of tho Supreme Court opened on Monday, the 12tb insL, Chief Justice Alleu, and Associates Hartwell and Austin on the bencb. The commission of Judge Hartwell was read. Tbe Court beyond setting tho days for hear tbe various cases in tbe calendar did nothing on Monday.

A scamp adds: "And without sauce." TheFbesch Steavsuip Compaxt. Tbe history ofthe French General Traiisntlniilic Steamship Company, n lilcb lias lu t-u ntab lisbed less thau live yearn, promts many interesting facts. 1 tils oompany on us three lines of steamships, the first rniitilt-g fmm Havre and Brest to New York f the second to the West Indies. St. Thomas, Minima. Vera Cruz, witb an anxilllary mail lurNcw Orleans and tbe third to Gusdalomx.-. St. Tinnitus. Guaymas, Venezuela. Colon and Panama there to correspoud vitb the varioui- English and AraericauMeaui?liis carrying sscugers and goods on the Pacific Ocean. The first and third of these Jines have been very prosperous. They never flourished during the occupation . of Mexico bv the French. and have suffered a great deal from the sus pension ol business caused ny tne evacuation of Mexico. Tbe trade with SL Thomas and New Orleans, which was carried on by that line, has decreased on account ofthchcavv storms and earthquake which devastated the island, and of tbe yellow lever which prevail ed in Louisiana last year. At a meetlntr at the comnanv held In Mav. the Company obtained permission from the Government to establish a new line on tbe Pacific Ocean, between Panama and Valrja- ralso. The object of establishing tbe latter line Is to nave tbe Dentin oi the trade be tween France and the republics of Columbia. Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Chile, which Is estimated to equal twenty-six million dollars a year. The following figures show the steady grow in oi travel oy tuc line running to to this city. The average receipts oi the Company for each trip In 1804 was $28,000; in Ibtfi, Jl2,800: in I860, f,200, and In 1807, $48,400. In 18G7the nnmberof passengers was 7,308, against 7,033 the year previous. The average speed ofthe French steamers is over twelve knots an hour, and average time of the trips Is nine days and twenty hours, between New York and Brest. This will be decreased as soon as the Lafayette, now on the way to be transformed into a sctcw steamer at St. Nazalre, shall shave been snbstituted for the sidewheel steam ship Europe. The Lafayette will be. ready in a couple of months, when the Europe will be sent to the West Indies. Tbe steamers arc , to be provided with a double screw, wbich has produced a remark able result on the IVaiJtiiintoii, now running between SL Navaire and Vera Cruz. In her last trip she obtained a reduction of three days and three nights over the average of tne otuer steamers Deionging to tne line. The Company owns twenty-one steam vessels, a flshiug establishment at Newfound land, several sailing vessels and schooners attached to tbe fisheries, a rope factory at Grant ille, and a machine foundry at llub bervllllers. Tbe cost of the vessels amounts to $13,120,730, which is reduced to $12,000, 000 by the sinking fund. The postal service of the Company last year produced $4,016,000 on which the pro fit was over a million dollars. Tbe Pacific steamers will run monthly be tween Panama aud Valparaiso, landing at the Intermediate ports ofthe equator, Peru, Bolivia, and corresponding with the already existing service of SL Nazalre and Colon, Panama. In consequence of this arrange ment, tbe. auxiliary service of SL Thomas to Jamaica will branch on the line of Mex ico, and will go as far as Panama. The Pacific line is to be served by three new steamers, of 3000 tons each, with a 4SO-horse power engine, giving an average of ten knots an hour. The Company has obtained an annual sub vention of three-quarters of a million of dollars, and an interest of five per cent, up on tbe capital of the Company, provided their capital does not exceed twelve millions for all the lines. Tbe Government, how ever, will be Interested In a fourth of the Company, whenever Its profits exceed eight per ceuL The total of the expenditures of tbe Pacific line is estimated at two millions, on wbich tbe French Government Is to ad vance eight hundred thousand dollars. y. r.ibsf. The Abyssinian Regalia. Tbe London CTofe says: "The 6tate robe, crown, nnd other articles, which belonged to Theodoras, of Abyssinia, have arrived In England. There are two crowns; one for state, and the other for ordinary purposes. Tbe state crown is of gold, rising to a height of about 18 Inches, In three tiers; It Is Inlaid either with pre cious stones or admirable imitations. The work is very fine, and the weight such as only the head of a powerful man could bear. The common crown presents tbe appearance of one ol those which are so often brongbt Into requisition during the pantomime sea son; tbe materials of dark silk velvet were, no douht.'at one time, very fine, but use has dimmed their brightness. The robes aro gorgeous; the state robe being made of gold tinsel, woriiea in noss, ana nnea wnu a ricn brown satin. The pattern Is very chaste, and tbe workmanship can scarcely be excelled In any civilized couutry. It is a robe which the ruler of tbe most powerful kingdom in tbe world could wear. Tbe second robe is one which Theodoras expressly ordered to be made for Queen Victoria, but 'unavoidable circumstances' intervening, the black mon arch kept it himself for some time, and finally gave It to one ol tne uerman artlzaus at .uag dala, who gave It up to Sir Robert Napier. The materials of this robe are not so rich, j as those of tbe state robe, but the filagree work of Indian pattern is exquisitely done. The seal of tbe King is of an ordimlry char acter, and bears the name and title of Theo doras. It is supposed to have been made in Old Bond street. There arc also slippers, of a shape somewhat after the Japanese; they are covered with gold scales, and ap pear to have been frequently worn. A chal ice, which was taken from some one of tho churches, has been sent over, as also a crown, worn by some 'abonna,' or high- priest, at tbe celebration of their religious services. Tuesu trophies are offered to Her Majesty by tho British Army, in Abyssinia." Nose Bleed. There are two little arteries which supply the whole face witb blood, one on each side. These branch off from tbe main arteries on each side of the windpipe, and running upwards ton art! tbe eye, pass over the outside ofthe jaw-bone, about two thirds ol the way back from the chin to the angle of the jaw, under the car. Each of these arteries, of course, supplies one-half the face, the nose being the dividing line. The left nostril Is supplied with blood by the left artery, and tbe right nostril by the rigbt artery. Now, suppose your nose bleeds from the right nostril: with tbe end of the finger Icel along the outer edge of tbe right jaw uutil .you feel tbe beating of the artery di rectly under your finger, the same as the pulse in your wrist; then press the finger hard upon it, thus getting the little fellow In a tight place between vour flneerand the jaw-bone. The result will be that not a drop oi.biood goes into mat side or your lace while the pressure continues; hence the nose Instantly stops bleeding for want of blood to flow. Continue tbe pressure for fivo or ten minutes, aud the raptured vessels In the nose will by that time probably contract so that when you let tbe blood into them tbey will not leak. Bfeeding from a cut or wound anywhere about tbe faco maybe stop ped in tbe same way. Tbe Creator probably placed these arteries aa tbey arc that they might be controlled. Those at tbe back of the bead, arms and legs are all arranged very conveniently for being controlled In like manner. The people of England have been very seldom troubled witb mosquitos. During tbe present summer, however, It appears they have not escaped a visitation of these annoying insects, aud numberless people are annoying insects, aua nutuDcriess people are meaning of this faunprecedenteM Invasion. I long t A solution oi borax is recommended as tbe best remedy for mosquito bites, and tbe bites and stings for all insects. Take an ounce of borax and dissolve it in a pint of water that has been boiled and allowed to cool, and when bitten dabblo the parts in tbe solution until the smarting and itcbing sub side. For wasps or bees the solution should be twice as strong. The Congregational Quarterly publishes list of benefactions to American literary institutions during tbe past five years. The totals maku the Targe sum of $15212 500. These ore Individual gifts, and in addition to State appropriations. Tbey are divided as follows: Colleges, fS.&'VS.OOO; thcogical seminaries, 1,&!9,500; academies, J 1,830,000;' societies, $540,000; education, 2,220,000; school, $CSj,000.
