The echooner C il, Ward called on Monday afternoon with supplies for the Gnano Islands, and also with materials lor bnlld in; a new railway track on Enderbnry's Island. We call attention to the meeting, to be held this morning at 11 o'clock, of those interested In the project of a Hotel, at the Finance Office. The snb ecrjbert are expected to choose a Committee of two, and to make such suggestions as may be pertinent to the bnslness In hand. A Kahcna Case. In the Folicc Court yesterday morning, a native Eahuua named Lerl, was tried for practicing without a license He was found guilty on two charges, andned fifty dollars for th first charge, and twenty for the second. TrJE following paragraph, from a Philadelphia pa per of Jan. Stb, shows bow Incorrectly news Is oc casionally circulated: "In the latter part of October, 1670, the United States steamer "Saginaw" ran aground on Midway Island, Pacific ocean, and was lost. It Is believed that the accident was the result of bad management, and that most of the crew were drowned or starved to death" Improvements. We notice that several gentle- men whose places of business arc situated near the gCWjFort Office,. hate bccn.lndnccd by Ihc fine ap pearance oi me siae waiKin iromoiiuai ouuaing, to repalrjhose la front of their own. Already several good eiAe walks arc In course of' completion in that vicinity, and we hope to see the improvement cx tend through our principal streets. A Memento to IUu-ord. We learn from the T . ' Ma of Jan. 17th, that Halford, the survivor of the crew of the Saginaw's gig, is at present at Mare island Jjavy Yard, where the kindest attentions are being shown him. 'The citizens propose lojprcscnt him with a gold medal, and alsoa purse. In consider ntlon of his heroic conduct, and as a mark of their appreciation of his valuable services, and earnest de votion in the cause of bis suffering comrades. Asotoeb Hilo Packet. Messrs. Foster & Co., bare added another fine craft to their line of Hilo packets, the brig Kainehameha V. This vessel, next to the steamer, Is the most comfortable vessel in the coasting fleet. Her accommodations for passengers arc roomy and convenient, and having two cabins, both being nicely furnished, which will no doubt render her the favorite Tcssel on that route. She sailed on her first trip on Saturday afternoon last commanded by Capt. II. Reynolds. We publish to-day the tables of Exports and Im- pprts and other commercial tables prepared by the Collector General of Customs. The tables, for their clearness and detail, reflect great credit npon the Officers of the Castom House. There are several tables which have not heretofore been published in the annual reports of the Custom House, among wbkh is the table showiog the principal articles of do mestic produce and the countries to which they have been exported. This table shows the commence ment of the New Zealand and Australian trade, which next year's exhibit will no doubt show to be greatly Increased. Owing to the different forms of the ta bles, we are unable lo place them in regular order as numbered. SmrriNO. In consequence of sufficient sugar not having arrived to allow the Murray to complete loading, she did not sail as advertised, but will prob ably get away the latter part of the week. She-will take a number of passengers. The Comet will sail about Saturday or Monday next, and wIU.bc fol lowed by the bark Violclte probably in ballast The clipper slip Matnra, of Macondray's Hue, was to sail from San Francisco about Feb. 1st, to touch here, and may be hourly looked for with ten days later news. The brig Byzantium, which sailed from here "ov. 24tb, arrived at Tahiti Jan. Cth, having had a very long passage of 43 days, during which she lost a large number of her cargo of live stock. SKiLi.rui surgical orERATi on. Recently Dr. McGrew (althe American Hospital), assisted by Drs. Hillcbrand and R. McKibbio Jr. successfully operated npon a young lad of about fourteen years, for stone in the bladder. The stone extracted was of unusual size, measuring 2 Inches long and 1J in diameter, '-weighing 2 ounces. The boy -who previous to the operation had become very weak from the Intense suffering caused by the disease, is now doing well and promises to bo restored to per fect health. About three weeks since. Dr. McGrew operated npon Capt. John Rice for a large and malignant tu mor, successfully. The operation was a dangerous one, the tumor being sltnsled over the muscles on the back of the neck. Burglars. There can be but little doubt that there exists In this town, an organized "band of thieves, for hardly a week passes without our hear ing of some store ordwelllng being entered. No cine basyct been obtained that would lead to the appre hension of the depredators, which naturally leads to the supposition that the thieves are experts In their proiessloni That their depredations are "not more extensively carried on, we doubtless owe to the fact that they must find a difficulty In a small com munity like this, in disposing of stolen property. Previous to the establishment of the new steam lines, a burglary was of rare occurrence here. Individuals of the class Indicated, shift their quarters pretty fre quently, particularly when they find a place getting too hot for them, and dnnbtlcss tbey look npon this place as a safe refuge when the police of other cities begin to be too pressing In their attentions. Long Passage. The Bark Nabob, nhich was re ported last week, made an extraordinarily long pas sage out, considering that she did not make any port since leaving Boston. Her passage ont was I'M days. She was off Cape Horn 73 days of that time. In looking over the marine columns of the San Francisco papers, wc notice that the Tesscls at that port from the Atlautic during the past two months, have also made very long passages several of them having suffered considerable damage during the terrific weather off Cape Horn. Some have been forced to put Into Falkland Islands for repairs. One arrlvsl at San Francisco, was 137 days from Rio de Janeiro, and another, 220 days from Glasgow. Very few Abort passages have been made during the past winter from Atlantic ports the shortest pas sage made, being that of the clipper shin Great Ad miral, which arrived at San Frauclsco Jan. 6lb, 125 days Irom New Tork. Jack Ashore. It affords considerable amnsc ment (b any observant mind, to notice the peculiar ities of men-of-war's-men when they are ashore on liberty. On board ship, Jack is a thorough dis ciplinarian, and obeys ibe orders of -his superiors without a murmur, but ashore, be is full of fun and frolic; jand eonsidtrsTiothing bat "his. own locllna tions. "ilohil a decided taste for '"liqaoring-np," and he cannot resist the temptation of a little cquea tilan exercise. The other day, agehlleman went In to a restaurant .near the Sallor'j Home, and left his horse fastened to a tree near by. A British tarcame along, and seeing the horse, his ideas of metm and fawn being slightly confused by over indulgence, conld cot resist the temptation, so he jumped on the animal's back and rode off. The owner, attracted by ine ciaucr oi me Dorse's hoffs, Immediately rushed out and gave chase. He soon came np with the fugitives, caught hold of the reins with one hand, grasped Jack with the other and called lustily for the Police. Toe tar managed to get loose and made for the SaIUSrs "Home, followed bv the Indhmant gentleman nd waaxoon surrounded by a nsmberof nia sulpmates. Jack excused himself by saying he thought the horse belonged to a ahlnniate. and mail. an ample and satisfactory apology. ;lt la bAtly . ne cessary to stste that the aid of the police wu not re qtilred to settle tteeMBcnity. Tbe-Rotal Hawaiian Theatre. This evening nerrand Mrs. Bandmann give a very attractive bill at the Theatre, when the entire comedy of Don Cxsar de Bazan will be performed. In which Mr. Joseph Rayner will also appear. The entertainments during the past week have been as brilliant as usual. The theatre-going portion of the community can congratulate themselves npon the privilege they are now enjoying of witnessing the personations of these eminent artists. MissAlsggie Knight takes & benefit on Thursday, (to-morrow,) evening. On Friday evening 17th Inst, Hcrr and Mrs Band mann give a benefit, under-the patronage of His Majesty the King, to Mr. C. Derby proprietor of the Theatre. The unwearied exertions of Mr. Derby to cater acceptably for the amusement of the pnblic. deserves their patronage which-cannot be rendered more acceptably than by attending bis benefit In force. Br a correspondent of the S. T. Bulletin, at Yoko hama, under date of Not. !3rd, we regret to learn of the death of Commander Brooks,' and Paymaster Bowles, of H. B. M. Ringdove, which vessel left this port October 10th, for Japan. The circumstances were as follows : The Commander and his friend set ont in one of the vesset's boats to cross the bay on a shooting expedition. A sudden gust of wind cap sized the-boat, and of the fire who were in it, two seamen only managed to hold on nntil they were picked op. The bodies of the Commander and th PaTnuuteriarfcbeen recovered, the former .being so jnnch eaten by fishes as only to be recognizable by ring which he wore at the time of the accident. The two friends were buried In the same grave and' were followed by the crews of all the men of war in port. Practical Jokes. A number of wonld-bc funny Individuals have been practicing a number of practl cat jokes during the past few evenings, by removing sign-boards from one place to a notber, mnch to their own amusement, doubtless, but greatly, to the annoyance of tbcirvictims. The sign of Mr. Osborne photographer, was removed dnringlhe night of Sat urday last. Next morning that gentleman cam menced a search for the missing article, which was finally discovered hoisted at halfmast on the nose Compmy's flag-staff. Another gentleman was rath cr surprised one morning lately, by a visit from a Stranger wishing to purchase the premises on which he was living. The owner replied that he did not wish to sell. Stranger wanlerto know why he had been made a fool ol. Explanations were demsnded on both sides, which resulted in the owner of tho premises discovering that a placard had been placed consplcously on the lot, announcing to passers-by This property for sale." Accident. A somewhat ludicrous accident oc curred on the valley road on Sunday morning last. An old native was walking along with some meat in his hand. Following close at bis heels were numbcrof dogs, which now and again made hungry attacks on the meat, which the man vigorously re pelled with his feet Aliorse and buggy approach ing, the man got ont or the way to let it pass, but just before it came up with him, the dogs made another snatch at the meat. The native in endeav oring so save it, stepped quickly aside, and the buggyjust then passing, be came in contact with the wheels, which sent Lira sprawling In one direction and his meat in another. Before he could recover himself, the dogs availed themselves of the oppor tunity and niadc off withthc meat. The sight of the poor man with bis woc-begouc countenance, as too much for the gentleman driving the buggy he laughed heartily as he drove o'fl?and threw a dollar tothcnatlvcasa salve for bis brnlscs, and to enable him ot the same time to replace his loss. Islands in South I'Acinc. The following valu able information which has been received from II B M. Consul at Tahiti, relative to the position or several Islands of the Society Groups, recently surveyed French Naval officers, will probably lie of Interest to our sca-faring friends: Starbuck IJand, on which the French war trans port Euryalc was lost on the night of the 4th March, 1S70, lies cast and west, about 0 miles In length, Its western point being In lat. 5 37" S., long. 155 56' U., as determined by the officers of the Euryale.

SbuU lVo Help Oarselres ?4 "Wo understantlthat about tworthirdaef the money estimated to-lie necessary-to putting afloat the Hotel project, has been pledged by our citizens. It is believed that the project is one demanded by our necessi ties, and one that ought to be jjushed for ward at the present time. Almost' overy one is of opinion that a good Hotel will be a paying concern to tho Lessee, and that, if properly managed, itrwill be -a great -accommodation to ithe traveling public, as well as convenience to our own resident population. Hut opinions, beliefs and good wishes arc not the coin which will purchase stones, bricks, mortar, lumber and skilled labor ; nor; Tint of these -alono can any building bo constructed more substantial than an air castle, or the " baseless fabric of a dream." It is certainly, interesting to notice the dreamy way in which our community has handled this subject in the past. It is nearly thirty years since Sir. "Wyllic pro posed to the citizens of tho town of. that day to set about crectintr a hotel. It has been talked of, at intervals, from that time to the present; sometimes languidly, sometimes with a spirit that, whilo it lasted, promised to result in something tangible. Yet all' ended in dreams or that slow-coach-idea of ours, that by-and- by some large-hearted, wealthy individual from abroad, full of generosity, intent upon our welfare, and indifferent to profits on his own investments, animated simply with a burning desire to make us rich and happy, would some fine morning land upon our shores' and straightway put up a pala tial hotel, and " run it " for our benefit. He has been prepared also to put his prices so low that everybody could feed at tho table iVhote; or deal more magnificently by our public by running; the establish ment free of charge to his customers. AVhy not ? Dreams are dreams, and like cheap words their magnificence costs nothing. There arc still in our midst spmc dream ers of this sort, and that such will ever-put their "shoulders to the wheel" to help themselves through the public weal, is beyond possibility. Of a very difi'ercnt sort is one of tho subscribers to the bonds, an intelligent mechanic, who rightly thinks that ho can employ all his means in his business, yet comprehends that in a general increase of business his own particular branch will bo improved; that in helping a public enter- prise he really helps himself; that, the ere- ation of business is the creat secret of success. "Put me down, though I may have to borrow the moner. It is better for me to pay what difference of interest may arise out of it, than to have the hotel fall through for want of encouragement and lack of public spirit." Wo may rest assured that if we do not help ourselves nobody will help" us ; and that being an insular community, wc must depend on our own exertions and the in telligent development of our own re sources for piogress and "advancement in prosperity. IX is desirable tuat all tne money re quired should be pledged before the build ing is commenced, and it would seem that no delay ought to occur in its being so pledged. We believe that many would come forward if they would give the sub ject consideration and think it over, or even listen attentively to what is said or written about it. It is singular, for in stance, that some still think that the project is that of a stock company ; that by taking bonds they venture all the money advanced by them; that the project is another Kilauca stock company affair; whereas the bond-holder simply loans his money ior five-years, with tho certaintyof the principal being returned to him, his only risk being that the interest on the bond may be five instead of nine per cent; or on the other hand, that he may gaiu twelve or more per cent, if success attends the establishment lrom the beginning. ouch an investment, for so desirable an end, ought to. commend itself at' once to every5 dealer, mechanic and business man in the town widiout personal argument or persuasion. We notice that the subscribers meet to day, to choose a committee "and to talk over the matter, and w:e suppose the ad- lsability of pursuing the project further will come up- in -the discussion. at; i-iva FTj-r.-r.
