It affotds me very great pleasure to hear witness to the sur
prising efficacy of Bogle's Hyperion Fluid." I had occasion
to resort to it after losing so much of my hair as to be almost
bald, c wine to the influence of the climate, during my tour in
the United States. Various much vaunted Hair Restorative
which I had already tried having entirely failed, I was advised
to test the value of Mr. Bogle's preparation. I used it dili
gently for some time, when to my great gratification my hair
assumed more than its former luxuriance. Hence I can both
from my own experience and that of my friends lo whom I
have recommended its use most confidently advise the use of
the " Hyperion Fluid" to all who need the use of that which
shall restore, nourish, and beautify their hair. For these pur
poses, I am certain that it is unsurpassed and unsurpassable.
JOHN HENRY AN DERM IN,
" Great Wizard of the North."
To tlie Public of Honolulu.
The Agent of Bogle's Hyperion Fluid having called on me
when I arrived here, I was delighted to find my old friend had
preceded me (I mean Hecle's Fluid.) My hair was falling off
in thousands per uav ; a short interview with my mend has
sloped the fall ; a few smart rubbing operations, performed by
" VllEI.KER," has made every hair as last as the Hawaiian
on my Magic Chair. 1. in !&!), in Honolulu, recommend it
to the world as the Great Hair Preserver.

HAWAIIAN LEGISLATURE, I860.
HOUSE OF NOBLES.
Eleventh Dat. June 8. A message was received
from tbe Representatives transmitting & bill to amend
section 529 of the Civil Code, so as to allow whale
ships to touch at all the ports of the Kingdom.
rnnce Kamehameha read a nrst time a bill to amend
sections 278 and 279 of the Civil Code. The object of
this bill is to reorganize the Boaid of Health, making it
to consist of six members instead of three and to
prevent any person from acting as a physician for pay,
unless be shall first receive a license from the Minister
of the Interior on the recommendation of the Board of
Health, such license to be fixed at $40 for Honolulu
and Lahaina, and $10 for any other district.
Mr. tVyllie inquired whether this was a bill which
proposed the raising of revenue, and therefore an im
proper one fur this House to originate.
Mr. Gregg explained that in his opinion it was mere
ly a police regulation, and t measure that it was Quite
competent for this house to jriginate.
Tne farther consideration of this bill was deferred for
the present.
Prince Ivameliameha read first time bill to amend
sections C4, C6.67, 68 and 69 and to repeal section 65
of the Civil Code. (In relation to auctioneers, as per
yesterday's report.) Adjourned.
Twelfth Dat, June 11. A bill was transmitted
from the Representatives to amend section 4ol of the
Civil Code, so as to make that section apply to merchant
vessels only.
The bill (from the Representatives) to amend section
529 of the Civil Code, came upon its second reading.
Mr. Wyllie and Mr. Grogs both spoke of the propriety
of affording to whalers all the privileges possible ; and
the rules being suspended the bill finally passed.
The bill (Nobles) to amend sections 27&and 279 of
the Civil Code, had a second reading and was debated
at length.
Mr. Wy'lie was in favor of the general object of the
bill. He claimed that from his eduction, he was enti
tled to speak understandingly upon the subject of the
practice of medicine, and he desired to impress upon
the nobles the importance of the subject. Nothingcould
be more important than that the practice of medicine
should be restricted to those who bad been educated
therefor.
Mr. Bishop was opposed to section 279 as proposed
to be amended. The effect would be to restrict the
trade in drugs and patent medicines to regular physi
cians alone, and thus a monopoly be created, the desir
ableness of which he much doubted. There were many
kinds of medicines now imported under the name of
patent," which were conceded to be useful, and were
sold by shopkeepers who were not regular physicians,
but without any ill effect.
Prince Kamehamehn, (who had brought the bill for
ward,) did so from motives of humanity and not for the
purpose of giving any set of men a monopoly. That it
might be advantageously amended, he doubted not, but
th:it the principles embodied to f.rbid uneducated par
sons from administering medicines was a necessary
one to be enforced, he said could not be controverted.
Mr. Hopkins thought that so far as those parts of the
Kingdom where regularly educated and licensed pby
siciims reside is concerned, this bill was all that could
be required; but he was of opinion, however, that cases
might arise of sudden illness in the remote districts
where a simple remedy applied at once would save life,
and without some exception in the bill, no one can ap
ply that remedy no matter wh it the exigency, without
becoming liable.
Gov. Nahaolelua agreed with the last speaker, that
the bill required some amendment in that particular.
Prince Kamehameha explained that the bill hid been
drawn up at the suggestion of the Board of Health.
It had been remarked that the practice of medicine by
ignorant natives was destructive of life; but if he was
correctly informed, life had been destroyed in this king
dom by foreigners who hud been allowed under the law
to practice medicine, but who were not regularly edu
cated physicians. The bill was referred to a select
Committee.
Mr. Wyllie gave notice of intention, on Thursday, to
introduce a bill to amend the law of 1851, in regard to
the public health; also to take np the amendments to
the Constitution. Adjourned.
Thirteenth Dat, June 12. The bill to amend sec
tion 491 of the Civil Code had a second reading.
Mr. Wyllie explained that the object of this act,
(which was a House bill.) was to remove a regulation
so far as whalers are concerned, obliging them to call
at the post office and report themselves, and 'eaving the
rule to apply to merch mt vessel only from foreign
ports. He seconded a motion by Mr. Armstrong that
the bill do now pass.
Prince Kamehameha said that this subject had been
fully and carefully discussed in the Joint Committee on
the Civil Code, and he then thought as now, that the
Cude was all that was require L It was very often that
a whaleship might arrive here from ports with which
we have mercantile transactions, and bringing letters,
and the failure to deliver such promptly, niiht result
in loss to those interested in commerce. The bill was
tabled.
Got. Nahaolelua read first time a bill to amend sec
tion C20 of the Civil Code, so as to extend the time
during which seamen may stay on shore to 9 o'clock
in the evening, instead of being obliged to go on board
at sundown as at present
Mr. Bishop objected to the bill. He did not think it
was a good plan to allow seamen to st.iy on shore at La
haina after dark, on account of the dangerous nature
of the bar. Gov. Kekuanaoa was of the same opinion.
The introducer of the bill in advocating it, sai l that
he knew of no reason why seamen at Lahaina should
not have nil the privileges which can be safely allowed
them, as well as at Honolulu. He bad resided at Lt
buina a number of years, but he had never heard of a
foreigner being drowned there at night. The bill was
laid over.
A communication was received from the Speaker of
the House of Representatives, informing that they had
ascertained that the amendments to the Constitution,
agreed upon by the legislature of 18-58 and 18-59, have
not been published according to the 105th article of the
Constitution, and that therefore, they had laid the same
on the table.
Prince Kamehameha, could not see the reason why
these amendments should be tabled altogether. He
would propose that a joint committee of the two Houses
should meet on them and discuss the subject. The
fault was that the committee of enrollment of the legis
lature of 1858 did not complete their work, and that the
amendments were not passed in to the Department of
the Interior in time. He thought they should be taken
op de novo. The subject was postponed until Thursday
next.
Mr. Armstrong read a nrst time a bill to regulate
auctioneers. (Ibe same bill which was withdrawn
previou for amendment.) Adjourned.
Fockteexth Dat, June 13. Mr. Hopkins spoke to
the order of the day which was the bill to amend section
620of the Civil Code. (.See yesterday's, report.) Mr.
H. advocated the bill. He said ships visited Lahaina
for the purpose of refreshing their crews, and the cool
of the evening w the pleasantest time in that place.
These men had been throogh hard thips enough and it
was cruel not to allow them to regain their health, by
as much liberty on shore as was possible. Lahaina
was a very quiet place.
Mr. Wyllie also favored this bilL According to the
actual w-rding of the section. Captains, Lieutenants,
and Admirals were just as much mariners as any who
followed the sea for a profession. Mr. Wyllie favored
the greatest equality nnder the first article of the Con
stitution, and he broog'jt this principle to bear in dis
cussing therights of all classes who are for the time
being under His Majesty's jurisdiction, so far as possi
ble. He had advocated this principle before ia the
question as to granting liquor licenses for Lahaiua, as
well as for Honolulu. He concluded by moving the
passage of this bill
Mr. Armstrong recapitulated the arguments used
yesterday in favor of postponing indt'iitely this bilL
By the present law, silors at Lahaina. were allowed an
hour after sundown to get on board, and be thought
that rows would be the result of giving them until nine
o'cljck. Honolulu had a harbor where ships lay near
the shore; not so Lahaina; it was an open roadstead
with a bad bar to cross. He thought the quietness of
Lahaina spoken of by Mr. Hopkins, was owing to this
very restriction now desired t be removed. As to the
question of equality, it was to be regarded, acd the
principle applied only so far as the good of the people
was concern eo. tie bad been led to understand by the
Marshal, that the whaling captains were very well satis
fied with the regulation as it now stands, and so were
the police.
Mr. Wyllie. ia reply to Mr. Anustroer's obieetlone to Na-
baolelua's Act, amendiag the 62oth section of the Civil Code,
and in explanation of bis (Mr. Wyllie's) arguaMBt ia favor of
that Act, said that be bad great doubts of the constitutionali
ty of section 620, in view of the 1st article of Ibe Coasttiation,
which, a he has always aaderstood it, places mil men apoa
the broad basis of aa equality of right. And be read the 1084
article of the Constitution, showing that if the aaid section
should, ia any ease tried before the Judges, be declared ro
rary to the Constitution, it would ipso facto be nnll and vtid.
Air. wyiue further remarked, lhai some of those whoaa be
had the honor lo address would remember that his Act to dis
courage the prostitution of young females, brought forward ia
several Legislatures, had been defeated en the gnsaad at that
very equality of Constitutional right betweea Hawaiian aad
foreign females, and consequently of their common liberty to
go to the seaports wheaever they pleased. Now he (Mr. Wyl
lie) could not perceive why, if the personal liberties, secured
lo the subject ia the Constitution lha liberty to lead a lite of
lewdness in ou r seaports aad of liviagoa "Ins wages nt sin"
the liberty ol sailors to reinsia oa shore at Lahaina as long as
they were allowed by law to remain ia Honolulu should not
be allowed on the same principle. We could not establish aa
inequality of legal privilege or liceasa in plat, without
producing practically aa inequality of right ia those who Lived
in those places.
But be (Mr. Willie) professed no reverence for the Consti
tution, where it imposes restrictions npoa enactments for the
preservation of the morals aad health of the public. For in
stance, whea his own aforesaid anti prostitution Act was
thrown out on wire-drawn technicalities of the Constitution,
he bad said, if it be true that the Constitution k so framed
as to prevent the Government from takiag measures to pre
vent a degrading vice, forbid dea by tbe lawaof God aad man,
and threatening the utter destruction of the wuole Hawaiian
rare, by rendering young temalea incapable of being mothers.
men lei us htira the Constitution, sail tweaiy more Constitu
tion.'!, for all Coastitutioas are made for tbe good of the peo
ple, ami if the work for tSirr".es;ruetion, the sooner Ibey are
got rid of or amended, the better."
He was of this opinion still, andso mast he ever be: but he
was equally of opinion, that be the provisions of tbe Coa
stituttion good or bail, aioral or immoral, they must be carried
out so lung as it continues unamended.
Gov. Nahaolelua advocated- his bill, on the principle
of equality for Lahaina as well as Honolulu, in the ben-
fits to be derived from tbe trade with whaleships.
Mr. Haalelea said that the law as it now stood
applied to seamen and officers of all vessels alike, mer
chant and men of war as well as whalers.
The bill passed to be engrossed, by a large majority.
The auctioneers' license bill came up on its second
reading.
Mr. Bishop moved to amend section 64 of the Civil
Code by erasing the words being Hawaiian subjects,"
and also the word " three."
To amend section 65 by inserting next after the word
" license," the words " for either of the islands except
Oahu," and by adding after the words " one percent"
the following: ' and for the island of Oahu the price of
an auctioneer's license, for one year, shall be five hun
dred dollars, payable on delivery of the license, and
such a percentage on the sales made, as the Minister
of the Interior shall deem reasonable, not to exceed one
balf of one per cent, nor less than one fourth of one per
cent."
And to amend section 70 by erasing tbe words ' pro
vided such person shall be an Hawaiian subject."
The foregoing amendments to take effect from and
after the first day of August, A. D. I860.
The reasons for making the proposed amendments are
11. No mercantile, commercial, or other business, not op
posed to the best interests ol the community at large, should
be restricted or interfered with, except in so far as it may be
necessary ia order lo collect a reasonable revenue therefrom,
or prevent abuse.
2d. .Monopolies are, as a general rule, opposed to tbe inter
ests of the eominunitr, and hence of the estate, aad i hers fore
should not be encouraged.
3d. Where no good reasons can be given for unposiag re
strictions or regulations upon a particular business or profes
sion, it may be taken for granted that no restrictions are ne
eessarj, and thai their imposition would be unwise if not un
just. 4th. The price mentioned in tbe amendment for a license
wo:-ld afford a fsiier opportunity for competition than has
heretofore been enjoyed is sufficiently high to prevent abuse
by the establishment of "mock auctions" or Mebeap Johns"
would probably secure lo the Treasury about the sa-ne income
that has heretofore been received from the auction basiaess;
and would not create a monopoly.
Whether tne restricting of the auction business to Hawaii
an is in con.ravention of the treaties or hoi, is for others to
decide: I am informed that someol the foreign representatives
have given it as their e proton that they are.
Mr. Wyllie spoke at length in favor of a most liberal
policy in regard to licenses to auctioneers, with a view
more particularly to putting natives on a footing with
foreigners, in all pursuits.
The bill with the amendments was referred to a select
Committee consisting of Prince Kamehameha, Mr.
Gregg and Gov. Nahaolelua. Adjourned.
Fifteekxtu Dat, June 14. The House proceeded to
take up the order of the day, which was the resolutions
of the House of Representatives, informing that they
had laid on the table the amendments to the Constitu
tion passed by the Legislature of 18-58
Mr. Wyllie considered the resolutions as disrespect
ful to his Majesty, in view of His gracious speech at the
opening of the present Legislature, calling their careful
attention to these amendments. His object in giving
the notice he had, of calling up these amendments, was
to advocate the taking up the entire Constitution for
amendment, for he considered that our Constitution
was the worst one ever a monarch lived under. He
concluded by moving the following resolution :
RemJril, That the Resolutions of the Hon. House of Repre
sentatives, relating to the amendments to the Constitution,
twice recommended from the throne, and approved by tbe last
Legislature, be referred to the careful eoasiderai kin of a Joint
Committee of both Houses, with an instruction to then to re
port to both Houses upon the said amendments, and whatever
other amendments they may recommend for the rood of the
King and of His people, the cause of religion, morality and
justice, so as that the amendments recommended at. y be ia a
state lo be considered by Ibe Legislature of Is&i.
Prince Kamehameha offered a resolution to the effect
that a Committee of lire be appointed to confer with a
similar Committee if such shall be appointed on the
part of that House, to consider if any amendments ean
be recommended to the Constitution. AdnntsvL aiuf
Messrs Kamehameha, Gregg, Kalakaua, Bishop, and
uopkins were appoiuiea.

The House, in Committee of the Whole, took np a
bill to empower Police and District Justices to commit
lunatics and insane persons to custody when they are
dangerous, violent or disturbers of the public peace.
The bill provided that such persons might be arrested
upon the information of two persons, verified by oath,
that such party was insane and violent Mr. Webster
thought there ought to be a provision that the opinion
of a physician should be taken touching the question
of sanity ; otherwise a person might be committed as
insane who was merely excited. There might happen
a case where one half of the town would swear that a
man was actually deranged because he was raving and
surging about the streets, when the other half would
swear as positively that the man was in his right mind.
The bill was referred to Messrs. Chamberlayne and
McCuIly to amend.
