Several of the half-Chinese boys of Ililo, together with a Chinese merchant named Apo, em barked on a whalcboat for a place called Waiuli, some four or five miles from town, towards Leleiwi point. When the party got to the entrance of the boat passage of Waiuli, they laid to outside, waiting for the heavy surf to subside. After waiting for soi ie few minutes they started for the shore, when a large breaker arose and capsized the boat. Apo got tangled with something in the boat and wa9 drowned. The rest of the party got off with some bruises, though some of them came near drowning, from being exhausted. Apo's body was recovered and buried here on the 31st. He was a merchant, about 40 years of age, and leave9 a widow and four sons, the eldest about nine years of age. He was much esteemed in this commuuity for his good qualities. He was formerly a partuer with Ahana, ou Nuuanu street, Honolulu. We are having plenty of rain, so much so that the streams in this neighbor hood are full good for planters." Meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. A regular meeting of the Chamber took place at their roonfs, on Wednesday Feb. 12th. Present, ' Messrs. S. N. Castle. II. M. Wbituey, G. Rhodes, W. W. Hall, A. S. Cleghorn, B. F. Bolles. B. F.Dilling hani, T. U. Davies, J. S. Walker, II. A. P. Carter; J. C. Glade, J. T. Waterhouse, Jr., A. W. Peirce.G. 0. McLean, M. Louisson, S. G. Wilder, Afoug, F. A. Schaefer, A. J. Cartwright. - The 1'resident and Vico President both being absent, Mr. S. N. Castle was called to the Chair. The minutes of the last meeting being lengthy, the reading was dispensed with. Mr. S. N. Castle then introduced the following resolution : f Resolved, That a Committee of this Chuinbcr bo appointed to confer with the Government and as certain if any measure can bo devised to induce the Government of the United States to enter into a Treaty of Reciprocity with the Hawaiian Islands. Mr. II. A. P. Carter addressed tho meeting as fol lows : Mr. President and Gentlemen : Some ten days since, with the assistance of some other members of the Chamber, I prepared the following petition : To His Majkstv, Lunalilo, Sike : ConSdentin the earnest desire of your Majesty to promote the interests and welfare of the people over whom You have been called to reign, we the undersigned. Sugar Planters, Graziers, and others, interested in the Agricultural pursuits on these islands, respect fully address your Majesty with the desire of call ing your gracious attention to the need of some prompt action on the part of ymir Majesty's Gov ernment to meet the growing wants of all engaged in cultivating the soil, upon whose prosperity so largely depends the welfare of this nation. Most particularly would we urge the importance of immediately providing for large accessions to our laboring classes ami of making another effort to secure a Treaty of Reciprocity with the United States of America. First As regards Laborers. The want of avail able labor has been increasing from year to year till we have presented the absolute alternative that our leading industries must largely cease and be abandoned or that laborers shall be supplied 03 necessity calls for them. Believing that the con tinued depression or cessation of our agricultural industries will lead to serious national ills, we re spectfully submit that this is a matter of national im portance and that upon your Majesty's Govern ment rests tbe responsibility ofinitiating whatever measures may be deemed wisest to meet the emerg ency. Second Regarding a Treaty of Reciprocity. We are of opiuion that circumstances make this a most favorable time to secure such a Treaty with the United States. Renewed negotiations with such an object in view may lead to such amendments to the Treaty last submitted to the United States, as would render it acceptable to that government and people. We beg also to submit to your Majesty, that as it is not unusual, for rulers of neighboring nations having intimate commercial relations to meet iu person to consult for tbe welfare of their respective national ities, we would suggest that such a negotiation would be more likely to be successful if it could be aided by your Majesty's personal presence in Washington, where we have no doubt, tbe Presi dent of the United Slates would be glad to receive your Majesty with the same high honors intended ior vour Majesty s late predecessor. 4e are earnestly of opinion that your Majesty ' would in this way most happily evince the patriotic solicitude for your people and nation so often : graciously expressed. I We have the honor to remain, as ever. Your Majestyrs Obedient Servants, Ma. President : The urgent necessities of the I industrial and commercial interests of this Kingdom, ; seemed to us the most available remedies for the evils which we belIeve threaten with ruin the largest in.ustrjai interests of this Kingdom, viz. : the in- i I. 1 a I . 7 V - 1 at i I T ; irwjucuuu oi laoorers, auu mc ue-Kowauou oi a years ago lost his snip on ueno island, ana came ; treaty of reciprocity with the United States. In this j here and built a small craft and went to the Mar , petition, we have given expression to the opinion ' quesas. called here on his way to Europe, and was that if such a negotiation could be aided by His very kind to us. He sent on shore bread, flour, : Majesty s personal presence in Washington, its ; chances of success would be increased. We have j tnougbt tnis tne Dest way to introduce tuese suojects ; has called here since the lleinaeer in JJecember, to His Majesty's Government. i 1S69. I had, sir, the pleasure of living in the United j Thanks to a kind Providence, we generally enjoy States during the visit to that country of Her Majesty j good health. We have been tw ice visited by in Queen Emma, and noticed with pride and satisfac- , flueoza since my return here ; the first time shortly tion the kindly interest in Hawaiian affairs which ! after the Vltliz left, and again in March last. All that visit excited in the government, press, and peo- 'suffered more or less, with the exception of myself pie of that country, and I am convinced that under and one or two others. There are now on the isl the stimulus which would be given to the ever exist- vand seventy-three persons -thirty-three males and ing kindly feeling towards this nation in America, j forty females. During the time I have been here by a visit from His Majesty, a treaty of reciprocity i there has been twelve births and two deaths one would receive more consideration than would other- an infant, the other a dear grandson of mine, wise be accorded in the pressure of important mat- j Robert Young, aged twenty-two years, who died ters always awaiting the attention of the United j of consumption on the 27th of March last. He States Seuate. was a brother of him who was killed some years The disadvantages to the United States Govern- go at Santa Cruz while with Bishop Patterson. ! merit of the lt treaty, alwavs much cx$r:rrrated, j have been much decreased by the redaction in the duty on sugar aud abolition of the dutjr upon coffee, bides and ssics. The actual value of our exports to tbe United States does not much if any exceed the value of goods imported from that country, which U the real test of reciprocitjr in trade. But, sir, it is reported that there are other than commercial con siderations vrhkh this Government can offer to the United States. I refer, sir, to the cession of a har bor for the purposes of a naval station to that gov ernment. Such a cession, sir. would imply the granting of peculiar privileges and the establishment of foreign arm ame tits upon our soil, all of v hich I believe may be made the subject of honorable nego tiation ; but in matters so clearly afTectiug the rights and interests of His Majesty, I belicTe that such subjects should be considered by commissioners who should have the benefit of His Majesty's ccuusel aud consent during the negotiation. Ia this petition, we have been careful not to pre this aufgvation upon His Majesty in such a way that it could be thought that we desired to place the com mercial and agricultural interests in advance of all other considerations affecting the dignity f the na tion ; but I am confident, sir, that His Majesty, ac knowledging the importance of thee interests in the economy cf His Kingdom, would, if so advised by his coiiatitutioual advisers, willingly undergo what ever of personal inconvenience would be involved ia common interests. I am aware, sir, that there may be a difference of opinion as to the best way to introduce this subject to His Majesty and his Government, but of the im portance of the subject to every interest represented in this Chamber, I believe there can be but one opinion, and iu the absence of any other movement this petittou was started. To the wisdom of His Majesty's counsellors must be left the time and man ner of attaining the objects arrived at- Upon them also must rest the responsibility of ignoring an op portunity for contributing to the prosperity of the natiou. They arehappily, gentlemeu. in possessing, I believe, to a large degree, the confidence of this Chamber, and I believe will give earnest considera tion to the matters involved, when submitted to them by His Majesty the King. After Mr. H. A. P. Carter concluded, Mr. S. G. Wilder said he thought the petition covered the grounds of Mr. Castle's resolution, and thought that the petition should take the place of the resolution. Mr. G. Rhodes said that the petition w&s not suffi ciently explicit, inasmuch as it did not provide ways and means for introducing labor into the country. He also said he should not consent to ask the King to leave the Islands, although the foreigners might be benefitted thereby, the natives would suffer. Mr. Davies asked tbe object of laying this petition before the Chamber. Was it for the Chamber to adopt ? It includes two distinct subjects, labor aud reciprocity. He was of opinion that whilst it was the duty of the government to provide population, it was the duty of planters and others who required it, to provide labor. This matter was already iu the hands of the Immigration Society, originated by the Cham ber itself, aud if this society was considering this subject, he did not see what further steps the Cham ber could take until the report of tho Immigration Society should be presented. Referring to reciprocity, he would advocate the appointment of a committee to confer with the government on this important sub ject, but would oppose any suggestiou that His Majesty should go to a foreign capitol for the purpose of negotiating a treaty. It was the custom of friendly rulers to meet for conference, but never in tbe capi tol of either of them, nor to negotiate treaties. He considered it would be undignified for the Chamber to suggest any such step when the invitation came from the President of the United States, and was simply for a visit. For this reason he would oppose any such suggestion. Mr. Wilder argued that the government was the only power that could act efficiently in introducing labor into the country. He was iu favor of the peti tion; that reciprocity and labor went together; that if we get reciprocity, we would want more labor imme diately. Mr. H. A. P. Carter said : The honor and the dignity of the King can, I think, be safely left in the hands of His Majesty and His Councillors. The pe tition suggests that the negotiations would be aided if they could have the personal aid and counsel of the King. Whether this can be or not rests with His Majesty's advisers. I am aware that it is urged that the President of the United States is not a crowned head, and that it would be a violation of old-fashioned rules of etiquette for a King to visit an un crowned ruler, but I do not believe such considera tions will have any weight with His Majesty if he can do anything for the good of His people. The sentiments of the American people towards this nation are peculiarly disinterested and kindly, and a visit from His Majesty would call forth the kindest feelings towards Him and His people as did the visit of Her Majesty Queen Emma. Mr. W. W. Hall thought the items of labor and reciprocity should be separated, leaving the matter of labor entirely with the Immigration Society. He was in favor of Mr. Castle's resolution. Mr. Davies moved that a Committee of five be ap pointed in accordance with Mr. Castle's resolution. Several of the members then made remarks for and against the rcsvdutior. The motion of Mr. Davies was then put to vote and carried, and the Chairman appointed the following gentlemen Messrs. W. L. Green, J. C. Glade, J. S. Walker, II. A. P. Carter, and T. II. Davies. Mr. Glade declined serving, and Mr. S. N. Castle was appointed ia his place. Mr. Carter objected to being put upon this Com mittee. He stood committed to the policy put forth in tho petition laid before the Chamber. He believed that both the objects therein named should be pressed upon the attention of the Hawaiian Government more forcibly than seemed to be implied in the reso lution. Mr. A. J. Cartwright then offered a resolution that the petition to His Mijesty, with the argument of Mr. Carter, be placed in the hands of the Committee. The resolution was carried and the Chamber ad journed Pitcairn's Island. Mr. Editor: The foreign residents have been, invited to make a small contribution in the way of clothing for the benefit of the inhabitants of Pit cairn's Island. Allow me through the columns of the Advertiser to answer a few questions which have been made re pecting the present condition of the Pitcairners. It will be recollected that through the kind interposition of the British Gov ernment, about fifteen years ago. all then living on the island were removed to Norfolk Island. After a few years, some becoming " home-sick," desired to return to their old home on Pitcairn's Island. They chartered a small vessel and returned. Thi3 party numbered about fifty, but leaving over two hundred on Norfolk Island. Among those return ing was Mr. John Buffett, who visited Honolulu in 1S14, and will be remembered by some of the foreign residents of this city. From him I received two letters a few weeks ago, and from one of these copy the following paragraphs, which will furnish some facts respecting the present condition of the islanders : Pitcarian's Island.

Dear sir. a sail being in sight to i the northward, standing in for the land. I hasten to ! conclude. I remain your obdt. servant. ( John Bvffktt. I would merely add that the Brilisb war vessel CameUon, now in port, will soon sail for the South Seas, with instructions to touch at Pitcairn's Island and look after the inhabitants. Tbe Island is very small, being only four or five miles in circumfer ence, and quite billy and uneven. Aside from the actual supply of inhabitants with sweet potatoes, tbe Island affords but few articles which may bo exchanged with ships touching there; hence contri butions from abroad are always acceptable. To those persons iu Honolulu who have contributed on the present occasion, I would in behalf of the Pit- cairners return sincere thanks. Yours, S. C Damon Honolulu, Feb. 13, 1873. Our Hilo Letter. IIilo, Feb. 11th, 1S73. To Ae Editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser : Sir It may be true, though even on that score, I am not quite positive, that we have not always enter tained the same ideas or been on the same aoao in politics; yet, I am free to confess that, so far as your paper is concerned, I seldom if ever read nn article in it which is not thoroughly sound, and which does not rivet my attention and necessitate a re-reading. The above remark I was induced to make after pe rusing your leader in the issue of the 1st inst., headed " The Supreme Court." That article. Sir, contains statements which, though .they may appear severe and unpalatable to the party for whom they were intended, are none tho less true, and which every thinking man in this Kingdom, if he thinks at all, will fully endorse. In penning the said article, yon certainly must have had before your eyes that injunction of the im mortal Pickwick " It is always best to do what tho mob do!" But," suggested Mr. Snodgrass, Suppose there are two mobs?" Shout with the loudest," replied Mr. Pickwick; and you undoubt edly have shouted with the loudest mob, so far as the popular opinion of the present Second Associato is concerned. It is to be hoped His Honor will receive your candid and well intentioned hints in good part and be induced to doff the ermine tho I believe that is not used in these Courts for some one b:tter qualified by legal ability to don it; for surely, no one in Hawaii nei, in the heavens above, the earth beneath, or the waters under the earth, could ever possibly understand, not only by what virtue he was appointed to so lofty a position, but how he has had the coolness and courage to take his seat for so long a time where he has seemed tc all to bo so sadly out of place. Now, Mr. Editor, let me pray of you, in all mat ters pertaining to the welfare of this nation, to be always as plain and outspoken as you have been in this matter ; and believe that there never was a right thing done nor a wise word spoken in vain, although the fruit of them may not at the time be apparent. I am not aware of anything transpiring in these remote regions, either politically or otherwise, that would interest you. No fire, nor smoke, has been visible at the crater of Mokuaweoweo since my last report, nor have we even been blessed with a convulsion of mother earth. We have, however, been favored during tbe past week or ten days witb copious showers of rain ; our streams are full, and the plantations have all re-commenced grind ing in earnest, and most of them are turning out a most excellent quality of Sugar. Yours, X. Sanitary. Honolulu, Feb. 12th, 1873. Dear Commercial : Now that we have a new Board of Health, we hope that a great many of our nuisances will be removed we refer to the health destroying condition of many of (be necessary out bouses attached to dwellings and stores in the com pact parts of the city. We do not speak for ourselves alone, but for many others, that are in the same pilikia. Who shall remove this nuisance? That is the f; question. If we do it, we are liable to be coin 'l t , e i it.. iV. i . 1 ; .1. :jpiaineu ot uy tue powers mat oe, not Having tue proper means of doing it. And we earnestly request that some suitable person may be appointed to do this work, for which we will be willing to pay for our share. And we are quite confident that our neighbors will be thankful to do the same. It is full time that this matter should be attended to. Maeemaee. A Juror Responds to a Fireman. Mr. Editor : In last Saturday's issue of the Ad vertiser, appears a letter from " A Fireman," in which he says : " Both before and since tbe rendi tion of the verdict in tbe recent trial for an attempt at arson, I have given the subject a good deal of thought as to all the circumstances in the case, and I now send a few of them to yon." If A Fireman " will give a little more thought to the "good deal of thought" already given, be will perceive that tbe prisoner was arrested at 12 o'clock on the morning of the 7th of May last, and taken to the Station-House, and there charged with beiug drunk, and that be could have no legitimate right, while in that state, to be anywhere on the King's highway. The person attempting the rescue committed a grave offence, and would not bo anx ious to place himself within the graup of the law. Tho rat-hole idea, is not quite so absurd as Fireman would make appear, when it is con sidered, it is under the sill, where the earth is dry. and more or less loose, and within a few yards of a Restaurant. Had it been through tbe sill, " Fire mau's " assumption might be correct. The jury did not think the rubbish was blown on the 6th of May " when the ordinary trade winds were blowing," to the place where found, viz, under the step, but that it bad been accumulating there for many months. One of the witnesses lor the prosecution stated that the bookstore of II. M. Whitney was always swept out towards the back, and Uie refuse placed in a case or cask, leaving any one to infer, such rubbish could not get to the door step in question without being carried there. For tunately it was suggested (1 think by tbe Court) that the Jury should visit the scene of tbe supposed attempt at arson. On their way they found the street, between the bookstore and Nuuanu, literally covered with odds and ends of stationery, ic . and in little nooks and corners bunches of such rubbish had collected, precisely similar to that found under the step. The testimony, in reference to the step being close to the sill, or one or two inches from it, was not clear. Oa the morning after tbe arrest, the Deputy-Marshal nailed it to tbe sill. He gave testimony that since then there had been an accu mulation of dust from one to three Inches deep. Previously tbe step had been loose and being only a small one, protruding on the side-walk, conld be I easily displaced by customers walking into or out I I I ol tlie sturv, or 1J aoy uic calcliln j hi fool again! , it in paxing There have been no nltrtnpti at arson alrvcethr? prisoner was arrvr-lcd : shortly b'forw his arrest, thero were tLrve."

Simla, Esq., Chief Clerk of tbe Bureau of Education, wt are en abled to present a summarised table of the ccunts of the District of Honolulu, to bo fallowed, as aoou a completed, by similar tables for the whole country. It will be seen that the population of this district has increased souethiug over a thousand since the last enumeration iu 1SCG. Honolulu, however, and all the large towns, attract and retains the people from tho other districts and Islands, and its Increase is far from being a criterion of tho vhola. It is believed, from present appearances, that tho average decrease of population throughout the Kingdom, w ill prove to be uot far from 10 per ceuL The total native population is reasonably estimated at Ofl.000. The time and labor required to bo expended in the sammarixing into tables of the immense lumber of blanks that have been used ia till Work, il Some thing serious to contemplate. Male m n Females.

By the arrival on Monday night, the 10th Inst, of tbe California, New Zealand and Australian mall steamer Dakota, Capt. Ingersoll, we have Auck land files to the 23d, and Sydney dates to the 16th ultimo. We are indebted to tho Purser of the Da kota, Mr. Robertson, for prompt delivery of memo, randa and files. The news is unimportant, but we clip a few para graphs from our exchanges : A deputation of Sydney merchants waited on Mr. Vogel to induce him to consent to the California and New Zealand steamers touching at Fiji, but tho honorable gentleman explained to tbe deputation that under existing circumstances their request could not be complied with. The following are among tbe subjects which it is slated, will occupy the attention of the Colonial Conference at Sydney during tbe present month. Tbe ocean mail ser vice; free commercial intercourse between the col onies in connection with Earl Kimberley'a despatch on the subject; telegraphic communication, espe cially in relation to submarine cables ; the border relations of certain of the colonies ; tho Importa tion of live slock from the United Kingdom aud foreign ports in relation to 11 u prevalence of rin derpest and other malignant ?.iseases among cattle in the Northern hemisphere. Other subjects of more or less importance are amo mentioned, among which will be the question of the annexation of Fiji. It is not yet clearly ascertained whether the Gov ernment of New South Wales adhere to their do termination about establishing an independent ser vice . to San FrancLco. They have invited and have received tenders for such a nervico, and It has ben stated that Mr. Hall's, being the lowest, will probably be accepted. But tbe question will not be definitely settled till the Intercolonial Confer ence has met at Sydney, when the general subject of ocean mail services will be discussed, and if possible, finally arranged. At the Conference of tbe representatives of the Australian colonies to be held in Sydney during the present month, the question? fd postal services and of the annexation of Fiji will form tbe chief subjects of discussion. Tho printers will erect a Grcclcy monument. Prince Albert of Prussia will wed at Eater.
