Calm, solemnly and stately ho stoodbefore them, with the sincerity and resolutionof his soul pictured upon his features hisvoice, which was at first tremulous, becamestrengthened, as the consciousness of thepropriety of his course became impressed up-on his mind.

"No," .said he, "too long already have wethus played, and for one, 1 am now determin-ed to sever the fascinating chain that hasbound me. Night alter night has passed likethis, and now let us pause and reflect. 1 )oesa thought of the time thus squandered, affordus pleasure or satisfaction? Have we beenbenefited either in body or mind?

If so,why do we feel abashed and stricken beneaththe searching glance of virtuous respectabili-ty? Do we honor or respect each other?iNo! we too well know tho dishonest meanswhich attend our course, to honor or respectthose who employ them! On the contrary,how much might we have gained what avaluable jun:l of knowledge might we haveacquired, had we nightly employed the timethus waited; worse than wasted in this, as Ilong have thought, unhallowed and detesta-ble courso! Nor is this all; but the practiceis one which opens a door to every species ofvice, and are we certain that we shall not en-ter?

When lie lmd done speaking, two of theyoung men arose, expressed their approbationof his language and avowed their willingnessto adopt his resolution. The fourth keptback though ho saw truth in what his com-panion had suid, yet he wished not to denyhimself the privilege of sometimes engagingin this aniusinivnt, uh he was pleased to 'callit; and again, there was something of toosolemn a nature in the vow, which hi:? com-panions had made in presence of the All-seei- ng

those three young men girded on an armor toprotect them from the many temptations andallurements ever effered at a gaining table.They are now respectable men, holding pub-lic oflice, and possessing the confidence andesteem of the community in which they re-side.

The following extract from Abbott's Letters onCuba', may perhaps interest our coffee agriculturists.We commend it to their perusal :

COFFEE.We must not omit the description of the

process of preparing coffee for tho market.The extent of a coflee estate varies from onehundred to three or four hundred acres, butmost usually, we believe, is about two hun-dred that is, about six or seven cabalcr'ws,a cabaleria being about thirty acres. Informing a new estate from the forest, ofwhich , the original growth is very heavy andluxuriant in the more fertile soil, tho treesare felled and left dying upon the surface,and the coffee plants are set out among logsand limbs, and leaves, which are consideredto supply a good" manure for coflee plants;and the collco is so much greater on a newestate, that a strong inducement is held outfor bringing new estates into cultivation,even though the market price is so reducedas to afford little or no profit on tho cultiva--

I tion of an old one. To this circumstance weare inclined to attribute, in part, the longcontinuance of the surplus production anddepression of the price of this commodity.It is well known that the price has been fall-

ing for a number of years, and is so reducedthat a poor estate will not now pay the ex-

pense of cultivation; and a middling one willjust reimburse the proprietor his incidentalexpenses for supplies, without yielding himany rent, or any profit on the cost of his ne-groes. It is true, that every commodity goesthrough a series of fluctuations, the periodsand extremes of which vary very materiallyin different ai tides, according to the periodof time requisite to increase or diminish thequantity produced, the liability to be affectedby the varieties of season, or the changes oflasnion or Habit, or the spirit of speculation.The period of production, in the case of thecoffee plant, is three years; this being thetime from 'the planting of tho seed to thegathering of a crop from the plant. Thequantity produced in the world is, therefore,likely to go on iilcreasing annually, for twoor three years afler the price is so reducedas to offer no adequate motive to extend thecultivation; for the plants already set out willnot all come to maturity in a shorter time.Add to this, that the planters go on incresiri"the quantity of the product, long after thereduction of the price, hoping for a rise.These two causes would operate to prolongthe gradual depression of the price for a longperiod,' and to reduce it to a very low point!When we consider, therefore, the additionalmotive above mentioned, for bringing newestates into cultivation, the very long contin-ued, and, at present, very great depressionof price, it is not surprising, notwithstandingthe actual increase in the mean time of theamount of the demand, and in the actualconsumption.

The plants are perennial, and in their wildstate grow to the height of eight, ten, or fif-teen feet, according to the strength of thesoil, and have a little resemblance, in thisstate, to our wild black cherry, when young,though the top is less bushy. The cultivatedplants are set at a distance of about live feet,in rows and squares, and are kept down tothe height of from three to six feet, by pru-ning, so that the berries may bo within thereach of the negroes to pick. The estate islaid out in squares from twenty to fifty rodsin breadth, separated by alleys, some thirty,and others not more than ten feet widema-ny of the wider ones being bordered with arow of palms, oranges and other trees, most-ly for ornament, though some of them areuseful; the palm branches, for instance, sup-plying a material fur covering the roofs ofthe billed or negro huts. Many of theseavenues are truly magnificent, and one maygallop through them, on one of the brisk lit-tle Spanish horses, about sunrise on brightmornings, a thousand times, without becom-ing weary with their monotony. Scatteredabout among the coffee-tree- s, are the plan-tains, which grow to the height of twelve orlilleen feet, sending out a few broad leavesat the top, which hang over in the manner ofbranches, four or five feet; and on the top ofthe stalk of tho plant is suspended a clusterof fruit, resembling in shape and sisc mode-rate sized cucumbers, hanging to the numberof twenty, thirty, fifty or more, on a pendantstem of between two and three feet in length.This is gathered by cutting down tho plant,'tho stalk of which is left on the ground formanure, and the fruit supplies food for thenegroes, with the addition only of a irw!l

oi uencious lruit, in all the various eta "from the blossom to ripeness, is an Elytnulandscape ; but the occasional chiding, thn : t

ning voice of the driver, and the sound oithe lash, remind the spectator that it is no' :uall respects a paradise.

The coflee tree will bear, on an avcrai:. ,

for about twenty years; and as the plants ;nrenewed hero and there as they decay, inldo not produce until the thirdycar; onetei.tlipart of them is unproductive.

The product is from a half to three qu liters of a pound per year. The fruit is ci ntaint (1 in globular shells or husks, each .

which contains two of the berries 'such .

we tee them in the market. They arc pick !

from the husk when they turn red; the pick-ing season commences in November, andcontinues until March. The fruit of the sain-tree- s

does not ripen all at once; but the dif-ferent berries become fit to be gathered suc-cessfully; so that the same trees are pick 1

repeatedly, at different times, until all tlfruit is gathered. The negroes pick the fn i:

in baskets, which, when filled, they carry :

their heads to the mill, or rather to the dry-ers, near the house of the planter, and tl "huts or boheas all the buildings being usu-ally situated in a central part of the est at .

The berries are placed upon the siccadero- - .

or plats, for drying, until they arc sufficiently ground and dried.

The dryers are formed with great carand neatness, and cover from a quarter thalf an acre. They elevate the ground witha bed of limestone, beaten to pieces amiraised in the middle of the bed, so as to havea gentle declivity, and surround the edgeswith a wall of a foot" in height. This bet!und wall are covered with a strong ccmen;or mortar, beaten down with a heavy beetleto render it capable of sustaining all changoof weather. An incidental but important useof the siccadorcs, is to fill an extensive tankwith water, to serve the plantation throughthe season; as brooks, 1 may say they havinone, and wells are rare, and sunk throughthe stone for hundreds of feet in this part oithe island. ?

v

On the dryers the berries are kept stirringlest they should heat. They are spread thinor thick, according to the extent of the work?which, as they have time, they extend from

to ' ' 'year year.When the coflee in the cherry is dry, they

rake it together in a conical heap, whichthey cover from the dews and rains with sail-cloth and moveable roofs of palm leaves. ri

From the dryers, the codec in chcrry: isremoved to the peeling mill. This is an ocrtogonal roof (I speak of the one now beforeme they aro variously built) resting oneight posts, nnd terminating in a cupalo!This roof, wliich runs high, is often the pleas-ant resort and building-plac- e of large Hocksof doves.

The next process is to grind or crush theberries under a stone wheel of about fivefeet in diameter, revolving in a circle, --

precisely

like that of a bark-mi- ll in our tanneries, being moved by a yoke of oxen, or rafyui

frequently a couple of mules or horses, driv-- !en by a boy. Jis business is sometimes rnb-notino- us;

and we recollect a negro at Re-ser- va

(an estate of Mr. N. Fellow es) ' whoseemployment was driving tho mules, who tookadvantage of the liberty his oflice gave him,to make a noise, and enlivened his labor andencouraged his mules bv amort of chant nrrecitative, which he kept up for half the tim

MM?isr lo musHO, and ccU-lnntin- every nici- -

i

dent which came in sight or hearing. If,for instance, he saw any person approachingthe house down the avenue, he forthwith an-

nounced the circumstances in a clear, sonor-

ous voice, in musical recitative, stating thenumber of visiters, describing their appear-

ance, the horses, equipage, dress, fctc. Itwas an ingenious device of the little slave to

make himself happy.After the shells or berries are sufficiently

crushed in this mill, the coffee passes througha fanning-mil- l; which, if we recollect rightly,is precisely one of our winnowing-rnill- s, such

and those used inas are used for wheat;Cuba arc, we believe, mostly supplied from

the United States. Dr. Abbott mentionedtwo specimens of mills for fanning, or separ-

ating the grains of coffee from the husks, orshells. The coffee grains come from thefanning-mi- ll mixed with more or less dirt,from which it is to be separated, and the cof-

fee divided into two or three different sorts.For this purpose it is put upon a large tableof some twenty or thirty feet in length, and

of the breadth of an ordinary dining-twbl- e,

on each side of which the female slave arearranged, who handle each grain of eoflee

separately.

HONOLULU, SATURDAY, MAY 18th, 1841.

In again appearing before the Hawaiian

public, we do not come as a stranger. Years

of previous intercourse and agreeable expe

rience in the editorial ranks impel us to

greet you as old friends. In consequence

there is less to be said or premised, than if

the ground was new. The designs and prin-

ciples of this paper cannot be better giventhan by an extract from our salutatory when

we first made our bow to you in June, 18 10.

"Situated as we are in the North Pacific,on a beautiful Archipelago, fast developing its

great natural resources, and becoming a fo-

cus of civilization, and surrounded by islandsand countries springing, almost Minerva lik,e,

into the rank of civilized nations, or on theborders of those empires, whose exclusivepolicy is rapidly wearing away before themore powerful friction of greater civilization,these islands hold an interesting point; onewhich may be made conducive to great andimportant results results which hereafterwill be acknowledged with pride and plea-

sure.This part of the globe, and these islands

particularly, have attracted the attention ofthe older countries, and all that tends to de-velo- po

their greatness, or throw light upontheir condition and history is of general in-

terest. With the publications with which oflate the literary world has teemed upon thesesubjects, much ignorance and misunderstand-ing has also spread. In no way can knowl-

edge be so acurately given, as when publish-

ed upon its own ground, and from the pensof those whose circumstances render themcareful and critical observers.

This paper is the organ of no sect or par-

ty; strictly confining its objects to its legiti-

mate purposes it will not flinch from or failto act upon the principles upon which it isestablished. The welfare of the kingdom isUs aim; is its objects, the dissemination ofknowledge, advancement of education andcivilization, promotion of good morals, andthe commercial and agricultural interests ofthe Sandwich Island community. Those im-

mutable principles of justice and religion,which are or should be firmly planted in eve-

ry man's understanding, will be its guide;and though it adopts the tenets of no peculiarsect, it will defend the sacred rights of allfreedom of the press and conscience.Though deprecating useless controversy, itscolumns will be open to subjects of moment,on which various opinions may arise, and thediscussion of which would elicit arguments ofmerit and usefulness. But they must be ofan elevated character, avoiding scurrility,personalities or any thing tending to excitewithout improving. the community. Princi-ples not men, must be borne in view alsothat the object of this paper is to elevate thetaste, and promote a unity of feeling and in-

terests among its patrons."

,

The classes and avocations of the Sand-

wich Island community being almost as vari-

ous as its members, the paper - to meet thewants and tastes of all, must embrace a wide

T II E P OLYNESIAN.range of topics. Also the desires of foreign

countries to obtain local, mid historical, and

statistical imformation of the country we in-

habit, its peculiar habits or customs, produc-

tions or improvements must be constantly

borne in mind. A design so extended must

at times cause it to be superficial on subjects

which can only be properly treated by hav

ing some one whoso abilities are sorely elk

rected to those specific subjects. Still we

hope to make the paper useful, and that all

will find in its pages some thing to please or

instruct. We shall endeavor to combine the

utility of a commercial and political paper,with the solid matter of the periodical, enli-

vened by the lighter'and more amusing topics

of a purely literary gazcette."' If the public yields us a generous support,we promise them a paper which in typograph-

ical appearance and general utility and valuesh;ill be creditable to the place. Py this re-

mark we do not intend to refer in any wayto our own exertions, but to the engagementswe have conditionally formed with corres-

pondents in Europe, the United States andother parts of the world, to obtain literary,scientific and commercial intelligence of in-

terest to this community. As we are paid soshall we be able to pay others, and now-a-da- ys

the merit of articles must chiefly dependon the sum paid for them. We wish to be

liberal with our friends and have them liber-

al to us. We would have this paper as a

means of encouraging and developing thetalents which lie hid among us, and we leaveit with you, whether you will second this un-

dertaking. Our type, press and materialsarc all new, and of the best description. Thepaper contains much more than the old Poly-

nesian, though given at a much reducedprice. It was thought most advantageous toissue it in its present form with four pages.If successful, it is designed to give it more ofthe permanent character of the magazine,than the ephemeral character of the merenewspaper; and in this shape it can be morereadily preserved. Once more, friends, weask your aid in establishing a periodicalwhich shall, under your favor, flourish to a

green old age au rcvoir.

The community will perhaps expect us todevote some portion of our columns to thenarration of facts of a governmental nature,as they weekly arise in the Sandwich Islands.And although we do not promise to discusspolitical topics in general, yet we shall makeit a point to give our readers a summary ofsuch topics, of public interest, as may fromtime to time occur.

The case of Francis J. Grecnway, charg-ed with insanity, was inquired into by a juryon the 0th instant, before His Excellencythe Governor. The Attorney General, Mr.Ricord, without being interested for the ac-

cuser or accused, conducted tin? proceed-

ing, by eliciting the testimony and reading it

to the jury. The proceedings were some-

thing protracted and tedious, owing to thecircumstantial nature of the proof. The ac-

cusation in writing, the opinion on the juris-

diction and powers of the court, calling andinterrogation of the witnesses, and withal thegood order and quiet that pervaded the court-

room, were all calculated to encourage thefriends of Mr. Grecnway with the hope that,whatever determination the jury might arriveat, would be for his decided and impartialbenefit.

The jurors wero, Charles Rrewcr foreman,Eliab Grimes, Geo. Pelly, Dr. R.W.Wood,Geo. T. Allan, Robert Lawrence, JamesRobinson, Dr. T. C. R. Rooke, James F.R. Marshall, James J. Jarves, and E. A.Suwerkroop, of whom live were Americanresidents and six English.

Nine witnesses wero examined at consid-

erable length, viz: Joseph Roothe, Dr. R.C. Wyllie, Win. French, Jules Dudoit, Ste-

phen Reynolds, James Austin, Win. Paty,J. R. von Pfister, and Dr. G. P. Judd; whoall concurred in the main point of enquiry,that Mr. Grecnway was flighty and disorder-ed in his mind at times, nnd that when sodisordered ho would be likely to act in sucha manner as might prove detrimental to the

community, himself and his creditors. Those

irregulations were stated to be ofien the re-

sult of inebriety. His vehement languageand erratic gesticulation; inapposite quota-

tions from Shakspearc in his letters and in

his discourse; strange and supernatural ap-

pearances only seen by himself; throwing

himself into the sea on a voyage to the island

of Maui, and asserting allcrwards that he

had been rescued by supernatural means;

threats to conflagrate the town of Honolulu,and to destroy the documents nnd vouchers

relating to his estate; all tended to the unan-

imous opinion given by the jury. Hut in

addition to all this, the jury had the confir-

mation of their own senses, when the accu-

sed was addressed by Gen. Miller and Dr.G. P. Judd; for, he then gave such wild andanimated replies, to the questions of thosegentlemen, and reiterated with so muchwarmth his belief in the supernatural sightshe had seen, on the voyage to Maui, that no

one who heard him could have been other-

wise than convinced of his insanity. Thejury, after retiring half an hour for delibe ra-

tion, returned into court with the follovingverdict:

'The undersigned, forming a jury t en-

quire into the sanity of mind of Francis J.Grecnway, unanimously find,

" 1st. That the said F. .J. Grcenwi.y, is of

unsound mind, and has been so from May,

1012, with lucid intervals."2d. That he is incapable ofmanaging his

own affairs, and for the safety of the commu-

nity and his own person, the jury recommend

that he be placed under some mild restraintor guardianship."

irihihgton, D. C, 1S43.

Mv dear Editor, Your readers will, I

think, be interested in some of the detailswhich have come to my knowledge since myarrival here; the more, perhaps, as my inter-

course has chiefly been witli those who haveeither been at the Sandwich Islands, or feel

much interest in their affairs. Quite a number ofthc officers of the Exploring Expedi-tion are here on duty. To meet them oncemore seemed like taking by the hand fellow-residen- ts

again. A noble set of fellows arethey; would for your sakes that their likemight annually be wafted to your shores.Hut of those that arc here. Captain Wilkesor more properly Commander Wilkes, his

present rank, resides on Capitol Hill, a shortdistance from the Capitol. He occupies twobrick houses, now thrown into one, whichwere built by Gen. Washington; a fact, suf-

ficient in itself, to give an interest to them.The view from them, extending over thewhole city, and far into the States of Virgin-ia and Maryland, is delightful. The wealthof the commander enables him to entertainstrangers e.t home, with the generous hospi-

tality which characterized him while in com-

mand of the squadron, and also to gratify hisscientific senses. His health appears muchimproved; in fact, he has grown fat but haslost none of his activity. Captain Aulick hasthe navy-yar- d, nnd a delightful place it is.At this season, the trees and flowers are in

their richest array. Walks, buildings andstores could net be neater kept. Our muchesteemed frieri.l, Dr. P., with his family, arehere. The Jh talks much of the islands,and even fancies them sufficiently to residethere, were if practicable. I find the dispo-sition general, not only among officers of thenavy, but civilians who have resided anytime there, to return. The climate, easyhospitality of the residents, and rapid im-

provement of the natives and country, arestrong inducements. The manners and eti-

quette of our best circles here, more particu-larly among the northerners, appear coldand formal, after experiencing U r,,ccdomof Honolulu. This distinction must t. vg

exist Ik tween old and young societies; nvthough the social advantages may be greaterin the former, the charm is with the latter,which cannot be rivaled. Have you seenDr.flVs poem, published last fall, calledThulia, nnd founded upon the cruise of the

His residence is beyond the Presi-

The hall whichwith ether collections under the charge of theXati'iial Institute, they occupy, is, I think,die largest in the country. These collec-

tions form a splendid nucleus for a NationalMuseum. Several scientific gentlemen areengaged in arranging the specimens of natu-rr- .I

history; a labor of long time. The curi-

osities belonging to the Polynesian tribes,l,ave already been arranged and labelledwith much taste by Horatio I laic, Esq. Theygive a very good insight into the domesticlife and attainments of the people who manu-

factured them. To us old resident theyappear like household things. Our friendDr. Judd's name is conspicuous on many ar-

ticles of Hawaiian and Japanese manufac-

ture, as the donor. The latter arc amongthe most interesting in the collection. Allare placed in large glass cases, which formalcoves, the light striking full and free uponthem. A most unfortunate fatality las at-

tended a portion of the natural history speci-

mens of the expedition. The first lots senthome, instead of being left as was directed,to be opened by their collectors, who alone,knowing their localities, and the circumstan-ces under which they were obtained, couldmake them really valuable to science, wereplaced immediately into the hands of others;a proceeding as ungenerous as unjust, andwhich has resulted as might be expected.Professor Nuttall, a perfect Goth in. naturalhistory, was the principal personage employ-ed. In his eagerness to get at their contents,covers and labels were rudely torn away,and shells, minerals, plants, kc, whetherdelicate or 'not, poured uron the flcor. Af-ter they were sufficiently picked over, theywere put back into boxes, and covers nailedon, without reference to their original con-

tents. The loss by this proceeding wasgreat, and to the collectors mortifying in theextreme. The quantity abstracted also, wasvery considerable. Of the fine Cypraea Au-ranti- a,

of which there were thirty to forty,not one is now to be seen. No small gain tosomebody, where the market value of theseshells are considerable; they are worth atleast $10 apiece. Other specimens sharedtheir fnte. The worst of this is to come.A snarl of no common intricacy has attend-ed the movements of the Expedition from thefirst. Rut it is really unfortunate, that afterso much expense and labor incurred, thecountry should not derive its full measure ofknowledge, and the scientific corps of re-

putation, from their collections. Howevermuch that is really valuable has already beenpreserved.

The collection of Indian curiosities andportraits hero preserved is extensive. Pre-sents to the President, Ministers abroad andother officials, are here deposited; some ofthem, particularly the Cashmere shawta fromMuscat, are well calculated to excite the de-

sires of visiters. The original Declaration ofIndependence is here; also the treaties withthe great powers of Europe, with the sealsand signatures of the Emperors, Kings, etc.Napoleon's is very conspicuous and very un-

readable, though one can guess it from hav-ing seen facsimiles of his handwriting else-where.

One department is appropriated to the ex-

hibition of articles of American manufacture.This, as you may judge, is one that rapidly

Ilaalilio met with some attention whilehere. The autograph hunting ladies wereparticularly desirous of obtaining his; but I

believe he did not feel much flattered by theirsolicitations. lie was not used to being a

lion, and chafed somewhat under it. 1 le saidthere were two men that he was afraid ofJohn Q,uiney Adams, and Daniel Webster.The dark, piercing eye of the latter, he quail-

We have been much gratified in examin-ing the beautiful billiard table lately put upby our worthy townsman, "mine host' of theMansion House. It reflects great credit up-

on the taste of the proprietor, Mr. F. AY.

Thompson, and no less upon the skill and in-

genuity of the artisans, Messrs. Wood,Roberts Cc Parke, It is really a superbailair Call all and sec it.

The mercantile business of Honolulu hasbeen unusually active within a few weekspart. Wc counted eleven merchantmen in

our harbor, at once. A fact, we believe un-

precedented in the commercial annals of thistown.

We are much gratified in seeing su:?h val-

uable productions as the statistical documentson which Dr. R. C. Wyllie has bestowedso much labor and attention, published hereand cordially commend it to the attention ol

our readers. The average passages fromBoston, we should judge to be too long if it

includes those only that co.no direct. Wepresume- the average for them would fall tento fourteen days short of the 15:3 givenfor the general average. We have also tothank the Edit or of the Friend for his court-

esy in sending us a file of his interesting pa-

per, and h o shall take much pleasure in re-

ciprocating the compliment.

The first number of our paoer U issued anddistributed as a specimen of it3 general plan,and style of execution. Those who intendfavoring us with their subscriptions, will, wetrust, do so promptly, that the number of co-

pies to be struck oil' may bo regulated.

You have doubtless ere this heard of theintrigues of Mr. Pritchard and others to ex-ri- to

opposition on the part of the Chiefs ofsome of our Districts, and that an engage-ment has taken place between the Frenchnnd the natives, in which, two Frenchmenand six Indians were killed and some twentywounded. This ailair was near becomingvery serious. In all probability the Indianswould have been subdued, but at the expenseof the lives of many Frenchmen, when by ahifky step I succeeded in restoring orderwithout much effusion of blood. Already alarge number of the people have returned totheir homes and the chiefs will come forwardto make their submission on Monday.

This will be the end of all the Knglish in-

trigues ph, t,;s j,C0J)0 distrust themhereafter; ami all that they Imvo done willnot prove a hindrance to the French Govern-ment but on the contrary, it is certain to re-sult in r good. We shall bo better able tocommand and the people will be more sub-missive. J fence all is for the best. 1 wouldobserve to you in passing, tmt ., tnose whn

have declared for us have remained faithful.This people are more steadfast in their fidel-

ity, possessed of more courage and virtuethan they have received credit for. Notwith-standing all this, civilization kills them.

The Queen is still on board the BritishKetch. I foresee the moment when they willnot know what to do with her, and will puther upon some island. They do not consid-

er her sufficiently important to trouble them-selves on her account. Alter all, the conductof the British Agents has been somewhatwanting in wisdom in regard to this matter.The play is not worth the candle; also theywill not be sanctioned by their own govern-ment, and it is taking trouble without theprospect of advantage.

One word to our friends who may favor uswith their job printing. We-- shall do allwork of that nature at the lowest rates we ranafford; but it cannot be done; at our press n

the same terms that it has been done at theMission Pri'ss, for our rent, hire, cost of ma-

terials, etc. are all higher than theirs. Tlievprinted work foreign to their office only asan accomodation, and at barely reiuuncra-in- g

prices. We look to it as to a businessind must either derive from it a reasonableprofit, or let it alone, and we think that anyreasonable person will be satisfied with ourcharges, when he has learned the cost of thework. At all events, we shall do our best, toaccommodate our fiiends, and we assure themthat our advance upon the cost of such jobsat the rates in the United States, is but smallwhen compared with the advance here upongoods, labor, and living in general, as thevare at home.

Wo arc indebted to the columns of ti e Fiicnd, ofMay 1st, for the following letter, which will ho readwith interest by those who are familiar with the his-

tory of tl e Pitcaim Islanders:

Pitcaiiin's Island, Jan. 11, 1S11.

Rev. S. C. Damon, Sea. Chap.Dear Sir, Your letter to mo dated Sept.p, 131-3- and forwarded by Capt. Richmond,

is now in my possession, a'nd I am about toMMnply with your wishes. The magistrateor chief ruler is chosen yearly, by the peo-ple. On the first of Jan. all 'the "inhabitantsthat are eligible to vote, (from Hi years oldind upward,) give in their votes for a magis-trate or counsellor. After the magistrate ischos'.m,he has the privilege of choosing an as-sistant if he pleases. It is his duty to hear allgrievances, assemble the people together, tostato the o'eect of the meeting, hear the com-plainant and the defendant, and commit thecase to a jury of seven persons; whateer'he jury decide, Ik is to see it executed. Asregards religion. I am sorry to say it is very-low-

.

Trade and traflic are nil the go at jre-v-n- t.

There are seme who still regard reli-- gi

n; and family worship morning' and eve-ning is .still kept no by the ina'or part of the'a nilie.4, and public, service twice on the Sabba-th-day; but, alas! pu!lic school and week-ly nvetiugs for perusing the scriptures, areentirely given up, by the whole, inhabitants;so I may safely say religion is on a decline,

dn the days of the venerable Mr. John Adams,ill the duties were strictly regarded. () forsuch a man as he was, to start us on afresh.The next tiling you desire to know is tin; pro-duce of the Island; to which, I reply, vams,sweet-potatoe- s, Irish ditto, onionsplantains,corn, ke. ; fruits of various kinds, such ascocoa-nut- s, oranges, pine-apple- s, ke.; ani-mal food, hogs, goafs, ducks, fce. I men-tion these, in particular, that I may be ableto inform you of their different prices savvams, c; per bid.; sweet-potatoe- s, pepditto; Irish ditto, per ditto; onions, C,.lper ditto; plantains, four bunches per dollar ;

cocoa-nut- s, 2 per hundred. Fruits, no fix-

ed price hogs and goats the same. Fowls,3 per dozen. In exchange, cotton cloth,

(white and blue,) price twenty-fiv- e cents pet-yard-;

calicoes, of various kinds, price ac-cording to the quality; cotton shirts, bothcoarse and fine, price according to the qual-ity; tea, fish-hoo- ks and all kinds of cart hernware, knives of all kinds, soap, kc. No ves-sels are owned by the people. No properschool-maste- r, and no appointed minister, areamong us. As to your last request, I am notable to inform you aright; but I believe thegovernment here is supported by the Britishgovernment. Write to mo as often as youcan, nnd believe me to be.

Your most obedient andHumble servant.
