over to the Com. on internil improvements the sum
tppropriated last year ($500) for roads in Hama

JUpeau has been expended on the mountain road

r Some discussion ensued, several members op-
i blT. Marshall stated in answer to inquiry that

appropriation by legislature was not made until the
17th of that mo'nth. The resolution passed.
L The orders of the day were then taken up in
committee of the whole.
The Act fromJtbe com. on Finance to reduce
the road tax was read a second time.
Mr. Fnnk moved to amend by abolishing
the road tax altogether. On the Island of Hawaii
the people were not able to make decent roads in
12 days, and if we reduce the days to 6 it was tan
tamount to abolishing.
Mr. Marshall defended the bilL The present
tax was too high. Would gladly accept a substi
tute if members would propose one better for the
purpose.
Mr. Metcalf objected to the bill 1st, because
the present tax was not sufficient to ensure good
roads. 2nd, Because by it all rich and poor were
taxed alike. Had a new bill already prepared.
Mr. Rhodes was in favor of the bilL Thought
that with a small yearly appropriation the reduced
tax would suffice.
Mr. Funk repeated his objections on the ground
of the uselessness of trying to do anything with
roads on Hawaii in six days7 labor.
Mr. Robertson supported the bilL Thought it
wu too early to attempt to apportion taxes accord
ing to property.-' The present tax was too heavy
and the reduction proposed was judicious.
Mr. Wakeman thought the sooner taxes were
apportioned according to property the better, and
opposed the bilL
- Mr. Kaauxi wished to see the bill amended so
the poor.
Mr. Rhodes said, that if we equalised one tax
we must do so with the whole, and in that case the
whole burden of supporting govt, would fall upon
a few who were industrious enough to accumulate
property.
After a long debate, and an unsuccessful motion
to postpone, the bill passed and the com. rose.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read
a last time on Monday.
The order in council defining the rank and du
ties of the Premier was then passed.
In committee of the whole. The Reciprocity
Bill was taken up.
Mr. Robertson stated to the house the reasons
which caused the framing of the Bill in Privy
Council.
After some debate, the bill passed, and the com
rose.
The Bill was ordered to a final reading on Sa
turday next. Adjourned.

Mr. F unk gave notice of intention to bring in a bill

The committee on Internal Improvements reported
m the matter of the request of the House to the
Minister of Finance to pav over to the committee the
sum of $500, appropriated for the district of Hama

and then included therein ; or. that the resolution be
signed by the clerk of the House and that he (the
Minister) be furnished with the names of the com
mittee, and be instructed as to what account the

ring that the reports of the Minister of Finance for

irregularities discoverable in the last year's report.
Thought that as guardians of the public purse we
ought to make thorough, investigations. A clerk of
the treasury department had been accused of embez
zlement, but no mention of the sum deficient appear
ed in the report of the Minister. After some debate
the resolution was adopted.

Wedxesdat, Mat 5th
A number of petitions were received, and disposed
of in the usual manner.
A message was received from the House of Nobles
returning, with an amendment, the act forbidding the
carrying of deadly weapons. Amendment concurred
in.
The committee on Foreign Relations reported that
they had examined into the difficulties between IT.
II. Maiestv's Government and the Republic of
France. In examining witnesses the committee had
disagreed. Mr. Rhodes wishing to ask questions of
the Minister of Public Instruction, which the rest ol
the committee objected to as irrelevant. Mr. K. laid
the matter before the House, and asked its authority
to propound the questions which he thought neces
sarv to elicit the truth.
Mr. Funk explained His reason Xs one of the
committee) for objecting to the questions being put,
which was, that they (the questions) belonged to the
committee on Education, and had nothing to do with
For. Relations.
Mr. Rhodes founded his reasons for wishing to ask
the qustions, upon Art. 2, of the treaty with France
of March 26, 1846. Asked leave of the House to put
all the questions to the Minister of Public Instruc
tion, required to elicit the truth.
Mr. Kaumaea, (as one of the committee,) stated
that he and two others of that committee had no ob
jection to the questions being asked, but thought
that the committee on taucauon snouia meet wiui
them and ask the Questions.
Mr. Marshall was in favor of the most searching
enquiry into this matter. But thought that it waa
the duty of the committee on Education solely to
make inquirr into matters connected with schools.
Oncred, as chairman ot tne committee on xiuui-auuu,
to ask any proper questions. .
Mr. Rhode? repeated that it was his place to ask
the Questions.
Mr. Funk, in a somewhat lengthy speech, went
into the matter of dispute between the Catholics and
Protestants. The Protestants Had lor a long series
of rears entirely supported the schools, and even
clothed the children at their own expense. Now
however, thev had nothine whatever to do with the
iirTort or control of schools. It was evident that
the catholics were endeavoring, by tvery possible
means to get the controlling power of th schools
into their hands. After much more in the same
strain he concluded by saying that the committee on
Foreign Affairs had nothing whatever to do with the
matter of schools. - ,
Mr. Sheldon supported the motion to allow the
committee to inquire of the Minister of Public In
struction. Wished to have the vexed question set
tled. It was not through fear of France but a desire
to see the matter settled, that he supported the mo
nT th committee instructions to make the
fullest inquiry of every one andinto everything
connected with tne subject. 3 ,
Several other members joined in the debate and
on the question being put, leave was not granted.
Mr. Rhodes then read a protest against the action
of the House in this matter, with the request that it
might be placed upon the minutes. .
On motion the orders of the day were then taken
UPThe bill licensing stallions was then taken up on a
second reading and debated in committee of the
whole. On a motion to lay on the table, a long De
bate ensued, and the bill was finally referred to a se
lect committee to amend, when the committee rose.
A message was received from the House of Nobles,
returning as rejected, the act from this House reduc
ing the road tax ; also concurring in several acts from

InpoaxAKx Correction. A very important er
ror inadvertantly occurred in the Report of the Min
ster of Public Instruction, as published in the Poly!
nesian of last wek to which we would call especia!
attention. The number of deaths is there reported as
5,792jrhe correct number is 2,792. Corrected, the
report reads as inthe original manuscript :
- - Births, during 1851, i- 2,424
Deaths, do do - 'V 2792
Excess of deaths, 359 "
or less than one half per cent of the entire popula
tion of 80,000.
If the above statistics are to be relied upon, they
afford evidence that the ratio of decrease is much less
than in years past; and also that the number of births
has greatly increased since 1849. The statistics for
that year, tasen in January, 1850, showed, that the
deaths during the preceding year had been 4,320
Births, - ... . . 1422.
Excess of deaths, 298
a rate somewhat over 7 per cent, reduced in 1851 to
less than one half of one per cent
Should this state of facts be sustained, even for
another year, the excess would be in favor of the in
crease of the aboriginal population at the rate of 5
or 6 per cent.
We most sincerely rejoice in the above hopeful ex
hibit of the tate of the nation. It affords an addi-
- a -
nonai stimulant to Uie friends and well-wUhers of
the Hawaiian people to exert every influence to re
vive the almost extinguished vitality of the race, that
can possiby have a tendency in that direction.

paraiso, under date of Feb. 25th, it is ascertained
that two vessels seized in Chile by a band of des
peradoes, and which put to sea as it was supposed
on a piratical expedition, have both been taken by
H. B. M.'s war steamer " Virago." One of these
vessels was the American three masted schooner
M Florida," and the other, the English brig Eliza
Cornish," the latter vessel having a valuable cargo
on board, valued at $150,000. Mr. Shaw, owner
of the Florida, Mr. John Talbot, master ot the
Eliza Cornish, George Dean, brother of the owner
of the latter vessel, and eight others were brutal
ly put to death by the pirates.

in charge of Mr." Francis VV. Bateman, master,

remains were brought to Honolulu for interment, on

In Honolulu, on Tuesday mornine 4 th inst., at 4
a. m., G. W. Hunter, Esqr., Surgeon. His disease
was consumption, which latterly, for several weeks
confined him to his bed. So late as the 29th April
he was fully bent on making' a trip to California, so
characteristic it is of that cruel malady that its vic
tims should entertain hopes of recovery to the last.
His funeral took place on the same afternoon. It was
attended bv a numerous concourse of respectable peo
ple. The Rev. S. C. Damon officiated on the occa
sion. The deceased was born in the ancient Royal
