FROM OUR AMERICAN CORRESPONDENT.

. NUMBER 4.

Boston,- - 1843,

Dear Editor, No one can approach Bos-

ton, cither from land or sea, without recall-ing to mind Webster's sublime apostropheto the granite shaft, which now towers soproudly from Bunker's Hill. The risingand setting suns play upon and gild its sum-mit; the approaching traveler's eyes arc firstgreeted by its sight; and to the departingBostonian, it remains the last beacon to re-

mind him of his birth-plac- e.

Among the real improvements of the city,the wooden pavements struck me as being ofthe best, In New-Yo- rk and Philadelphia,they have proved a failure, but here havesucceeded admirably. I don't know that Iwas more surprised with any change thanwith the better looks, increased size, inshort, manliness of form, and strength andactivity, of the present race of young men.Upon inquiring why they differed so percep-tibly from their elder brothers, I learnedthat their physical education had been at-

tended to. Sheridan's Gymnasium is thegrand secret. In it are to be found facilitiesfor every variety of manly games or exerci-ses. Sparring and fencing are also taught,and I found few young men who consideredthemselves as educated, who had not spentmuch time in developing their frames in thisGymnasium. A few, excited by competi-tion, are apt to over-exe- rt themselves, but tothe mass it is vastly beneficial. Clergymen,lawyers, merchants, clerks, in short every-body who has the time and means frequentsit. So popular has it grown, that anotherhas been established by a rival professor.The young ladies too, not to be out-grow- n,

and out-do- n in these matters by the hardierex; have a Gymnasium also, under the

charge of Madam Halley. The uniformworn here is, I am told, for gentlemen arestrictly tabued, somewhat novel. Its chiefmerit is that it gives full play to the limbs,

to run, jump, climb, hop, dance, or any other motion in which they may desire to dis-

play their activity. I suppose now, that theyoung damsels, instead of being bent overpianos, and fancy work, will be cutting ca-pers on parallel bars, wooden horses, andpractising dumb belles. They also havetheir swimming schools, and some are per-fect naiads. If the generation of puny onesis not soon run out, it will be no fault of theseestablishments. But, without a doubt, theyare most excellent institutions for cities, andwill go far to counteract the ill effects of sed-

entary, and fashionable life.I have met Mr. Bingham several times.

Since the termination of the China war, hishobby seems to be a Chinese mission. How-ever, he still remains in the United States,and is uncertain himself, whether he shallreturn to the scene of his former labors.Dr. Lafon has been taken up by the Anti-slave- ry

folks, who are out, both tooth andnail, against the American' Board of Foreignmissions, because they receive donationsfrom slave-holder- s. The Dr. is now encagedin a wandering crusade against the Board,on this score. It is much to be regret-ted that he has been so led away, for, inother respects, he is a most worthy man,and possessed ofsingular benevolence. But,every man, it is said, is crazy in some point.Some expectation has been entertained thatMr. Bingham would give to the public hislife of Kaahumanu, but for all they have yetseen of it, it may as well be in the tomb ofthe Capets. Sandwich Islands folks are nowquite numerous here. Of the older visitants,Hon. William Sturgis is the most prominent.He was much at the Islands between 1798,and 1805, and has a fund of anecdote aboutKamehameha tho conqueror, and the highchiefs of those days. Messrs. H. and P.have settled at Charlestown, enjoying thefortunes they have so honorably earned.The Islands are much indebted to them, inmore respects than one. The beautiful, andaccomplished, Mrs. P., who figured so con-

spicuously in your society eight years since,now keeps a fashionable boarding house inSummer Street. Dr. Anderson, of the Am.Board, who formerly had charge of the S. I.mission, has sailed for Smyrna, intending tovisit the missions in that region. The Rev.David Greene takes his situation at .the Mis-

sion House, in Pemberton Square. By theway, their library and museum are becom-ing very valuable. Their list of works rela-tive to India is vcry complete, and, in thelatter, I noticed a number of curiosities withyour name attached as deposited by you. Ilike the plan much of getting together a mu-

seum. It serves to show, far better thanbooks, the domestic life of heathen nations,and the state of civilization among them, andinterests the public to contribute for the sup-

port ofmissions. Tho collection of Hawaiianidols, and curiosities, is far more completethan can now be obtained at the Islands.

By the way, in speaking of ladies' gymna-siums, I forgot to add that tho ladies havealso, oyster saloons, and refreshment shops,splendidly fitted for their patronage; whereJadies, under the exclusive guidance of pet-

ticoat pilotage, can accommodate themselveswith a lunch at any hour of the day. Thisis a great convenience to those who comein from out of town, and do not desire t

trouble a friend, or to go to a public housefor a meal. Aloha.

Thine, Wakebv.

How apt we aro to repeat stories to therejudice of others, even though we do notelievo them ourselves. Truly hath St.

James said, "the tongue is an unrulymember."

LEAVES FROM MEMORY'S NOTE BOOK.

NUMBER 2 .

The pilot at Papei'te is a native, and ap-

pears to be a capable and intelligent man.The climate of Tahiti, I should not judge tobe as favorable as that of Oahu. The aver-

age range of the thermometer is higher;more rain falls, and the heat of the sun causesa constant evaporation, and miasma, to arisefrom the numerous water runs, and the densebeds of vegetable deposits, which lie beneaththe trees. But these noxious influences arcgreatly counteracted by tho strong sea-breez- es,

bringing as they do a refreshingcurrent of air from the ocean, which dispelstho vapors of the land, and invigorates theinhabitants, debilitated by the calms of theearly morning. Of all the numerous treesand vegetables, which, on this island, seemto be engaged in a struggle for the mastery,the Guava has attained a formidable ascen-dancy. The rear of the town, as far as thehills, which was once a plain, rich in grassand various fruit trees, is now, for manymiles, a thicket of guava trees. They growtogether, with their branches interlocked, soas to present an almost impenetrable barrier.Orange, lime, cocoa nut, bread-frui- t, ohia,and other trees, and even the grass, havegiven way before its rapid growth; in short,it has choked out all the other vegeta-tion, and is yearly gaining ground upon thecultivated lands. It is a formidable foe tothe feeble agriculture of the islanders, butwould soon fall before the better, and moreefficient efforts of European farming. Apath leads through a portion of it to thebanks of a pretty rivulet, the favorite bathingresort of the inhabitants. The branchesoverhang the path so as to form a perfectscreen from the sun, and the fruit, which isreally delicious, hangs in tempting arraywithin reach of the hand. The ground isalso strewn with the over-rip- e guavas, whichhave fallen from their parent stems. Theseafford food for cattle and swine. Tahiti porkis unlike any I have eaten elsewhere. It isof the most delicate, and delicious flavor;more like the choicest wild-gam- e, than thefattened brute of the farm-yar- d. This supe-

rior flavor I attribute, greatly, to the fruitdiet of the animals, which stroll at largo inthe forest.

Tahiti was first discovered in 160G, by theSpanish navigator, Pedro Fernandez deQuiros, who sailed from Callao on a voyageof discovery in the Pacific ocean. It was onthe 10th of February that he first saw thisisland, which, from its shape, in the positionthat he approached it, he named Sagitaria,or, the Bow. We have no further notice ofit for a century and a half, until Capt. Wal-li- s

reached its shores in June 1767. Bou-

gainville, the succeeding year, spent eightdays on the island, and it is from his repre-sentation of its exuberant fertility, pictur-esque scenery, and voluptuous inhabitants,that its early European reputation was de-

rived. Cook came next, fifteen months fromhis departure. A longer stay, and betteropportunities, enabled him to present to theworld a more correct description. Dixon,Portlock, Edwards, Vancouver, La Perousc,and Marchand, and other navigators, soonfollowed, so that Tahiti was well known tothe scientific and commercial world, whilehe Hawaiian group remained undiscovered.

It is a curious fact, when taken in relationwith the recent unhappy controversies whichhave sprung up between the Protestant, andRomish missionaries, that both tho Societyand Hawaiian islands wero visited by mis-

sionaries of the latter faith, long before theProtestant world had awakened to a sense oftheir claims, or, almost a knowledge of theirexistence. It was customary with the earli- -

o

est Spanish navigators to carry with thempriests, not only for religious purposes onboard of their several vessels, but to prose-lyte among any race of barbarians whowere disposed to give them a footing. Thus,if we may rely upon the traditions of theHawaiians, and they seem to be founded intruth,a Spanish priest landed on their shores,two centuries before Cook arrived, and,though he did not make any perceptiblechange in their savage rites, yet his teachings and examples were not wholly withouteffect. So, also, in 1772, some vessels fromPeru visited Tahiti, and two natives returnedin them to America, where they were bap-

tized. The succeeding season they sailedfor their native land, accompanied by twopriests. A wooden house was erected forthese visitors. But their designs were asmuch for temporal, as spiritual rule, and,after a visit of two years, in which theymade no permanent impression upon the isl-

anders, they sailed again for Lima.On the 7th of March, 1797, the missiona-

ries from England arrived in the ship Duff,at Tahiti. The history of this island, sincethat period, is too well known to requirefarther reference.

Yours, Wandering Tim.

SELECTED.From the Editor's Table, in the October number

of the Knickerbocker, to which we always look withinterest, we make a 6hort extract. Here is a briefsketch of the inmates of Sing Sing Prison:

"If the unhappy young man who has sorecently filled the journals of the metropoliswith the details of his folly and crime could,before yielding to temptation, have looked inupon the State Prisoners at Sing Sing, as wedid the other day, surely he would haveshrunk back from the vortex beforo him.Poor wretches, in their best estate! Hownarrow their cells; how ceaseless their toil,what a negation of comforts their whole con-dition! It was a sweltering August day,breathless and oppressive; but there was norest for the eighteen hundred unhappy con-victs who plied their never ending taslis with-in these walls. Stealthy glances from halfraised eyes, pale countenances, stamped withmeek submission, or gleaming with powerlesshate or impotent malignity, and hard labor'in the fullest sense, were the main features ofthe still life scene as we passed through theseveral workshops. But what a picture waspresented as their occupants came swarminginto the open court yard at the sound of thobell to proceed to their cells with their din-ner! From the thick atmosphere of the car-pet and rug shops, leaving the clack of shut-tles, the dull thump of the 'weaver's beamand the long, confused perspective of cordsand pulleys, and patterns, and multitudinous'harness,' they poured forth; from murkysmithys, streamed the imps of Vulcan, grimas the dark recesses from which they emerg-ed ; from doors which opened upon intermin-able rows of close set benches burst forth theknights of the awl and hammer; the rub adub of the cooper's mallet the creak of hisshaving knife,- - were still; the stone hammerwas silent, and the court yard was full of thatstriped crew!

" God of compassion! what a sight it was,to see that motley multitude take up in gangstheir humiliating march! Huge negroes,sweltering in their heat, were interspersedamong the lines; hands crimsoned with mur-der rested upon the shoulders of beings youngalike in years and crime; the victim of beast-iali- ty

pressed against the heart broken tool ofthe scathlcss villain; and all were blendedin one revolting mass of trained soldiers ofguilt; their thousand legs moving as the legof one man; all in silence, gave the peculiarsound of the sliding tread, grating no lessupon the ear than the ground. One by onei i 1. it 1 t j: : jmcy iuuk wieir wuouch paimui uingy ana am-phibious looking ' grub and passed on, wind--inff un the stairs ot the different stories andstreaming aloncr the narrow corridors to theirsolitary cells. It was to much for the tenderheart of poor E., this long procession of 'thegangs. As they passed on in slow succes-sion, her lips began to quiver, and one afteranother drops ofpity rolled down her cheek.

' All these' said she to tho keener. 1 had amother, who looked upon their childhood, andblessed their innocence! Ah, how many in-

fant feet softer than velvet to the touch, havebeen pressed to maternal lips, that now shuf-fle along these prison aisles!' There spokethe mother: and with her gentle words of

pity, we take our leave of the State's prisonand its unhappy inmates.'7

THE POLYNESIAN.OFFICIAL JOURSAL OF THE HAWAItAS" -- " ' GO VERSMEST.

HONOLULU, SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1844.

TO THE PUBLIC.

We are called upon to announce to ourpatrons that the Polynesian Press has beenpurchased, by order of his Majesty, for theuse of the Government. This was effectedin order that the Government might have themeans of printing it3 laws, when in futureenacted by the Legislature, and the varietyof blanks necessary for the use of the differ-

ent departments which will be organized by

legislative action, so as to give them moremethod, and their transactions more uni-

formity. The Polynesian, too, which follows

the ownership of the Press, will be, at oncean authentic organ to the public, of theviews and opinions of His Majesty's Government, on all those subjects which appear inthe columns headed " by authority," andwill enable the Government transactions togo to Europe and America, and there an-

nounce the policy of His Majesty's Govern-ment, so that the world can judge for itselfof its capability to conduct its relations withForeign nations. Also, in this way, personswishing to emigrate hither, and become nat-

uralized, or wishing to come here for tem-

porary residence, will have such authenticinformation in regard to the advantages of-

fered by the Hawaiian Government, as notto be taken by surprise when they arrive.

The Press will be conducted on the mostliberal principles. Nothing invidious againstother nations, or slanderous to the charac-ters of the living, or the memory of the dead,will find admission into its columns, but themost respectful deference to all, shall char-acterise its editorial department, so long asthe Government, or its members, are treatedwith like courtesy; and when otherwise,such refutation of gross charges, if any aremade, shall be given as the nature of thecase requires.

We trust that much information of a for-eign and domestic nature, will be, from timeto time, furnished to our readers, which willenhance the value of the Polynesian. Treat-ies will be published in its columns, whenevermade with other Powers, or new modelled,and expositions of their objects, and truemeaning, will be as often given. Diplomaticcorrespondence, also, interesting to the pub-lic, will find a place, whenever the Govern-ment deem it expedient and proper to givesuch correspondence publicity. Proceedingsof the Legislature, when in session; decisionsof the Supreme Court, and, as much aspracticable, the local adjudications of thecourts of the respective Islands: also, ap-pointments, and Official laws, notices, andmiscellaneous news. '

Besides which, the columns of the Gov-ernment organ will be open to tho privatecommunication of all persons residing in HisMajesty's dominions, which if not levelledinvidiously and directly against the Govern-ment, or any of its principal functionaries,will be admitted, and answered justly. Anyobjections respectfully urged against thepolitical measures of tho Government, willnot, on that account, be considered inad-missab- le,

or be repelled, but any such com-munications will receive insertion, and ifjust will be admitted to be so, and if other-wise their fallacy pointed out. Strict impar-tiality shall be observed towards the citizensand subjects of all nations, none shall havea preference. As the Laws are intended to

uniform, and their execution impartial, soshall be tho criticisms or encomiums, bestow- -ed through the public voice.- We confidently hope, therefore, that the

T H K I'OL Y N ESIAN,public patronage will be rather increasedthan diminished, by reason of this change in

the character of the Polynesian, and that allwell disposed persons will contribute of theirmeans in enabling the Government to sup-

port the paper, as well by subscribing liber-

ally for it, as by advertising in its columns,all which will in future go to the public-Treasury- ,

for the purpose of defraying, in

part, its expenses. We publish, in connec-

tion with this notice, a circular from theTreasury Board, announcing the future ratesof charge for advertising, and also for jobwork, done at the Government press, towhich we respectfully invite the attentionof the public.

We cannot close this article without re-

turning our individual thanks, as Editor ofthe Polynesian under its former private ex-

istence, for the generous patronage bestowedupon us. And now that the character of thepaper has become altered, we arc authorizedto say to our late subscribers and patroifs,that the Government, in taking upon itselfthe ownership of this establishment, will notexpect to retain as subscribers and patrons,any whose names are on the late list whomay desire to withdraw on that account,while it trusts that few, if any, will see fit todo so, or to have occasion to regret thechange. Any subscribers, however, whowish to withdraw within a reasonable time,can signify their intention at the office, andtheir advanced subscriptions will be refun-

ded.In regard to miscellaneous matter, tho Pol-

ynesian will be governed by its former rules,and the Editor respectfully invites communi-cations of a literary, scientific, or generalcharacter.

On Sunday last we noticed a handbill pos-

ted about the streets, which we think callsfor strong animadversion. It was of a libel-lous nature, and calculated to disturb thepeace of the community by a threat of per-sonal violence. Moreover it was anonymous,which renders it the more difficult to detectthe author. Without entering at all into themerits of the case involved, we consider thisspecies of anonymous writing, to be highlydetrimental to society. Who can feel safeif the reckless and unprincipled can in thismanner with impunity assail reputation. Itis a species of moral assassination originat-ing from a revengful and grovelling disposi-tion. The tree exudes its bad humors, andallows only the healthy sap to ascend. Soci-ety is bound to cast forth that which is cor-rupting. But to do this, it is not to followthe example pointed out by the anonymousauthor. The law gives redress. All friendsto order will feel it duo to themselves and tothe reputation of the place, that justice shouldbe meeted to the violator of public decorum.Our town has acquired with strangers an un-

enviable notoriety. Private feuds and differ-ences have been made subject of public con-versation, which has resulted in keeping so-

ciety in a state of feverish excitement. Sucha state of things should not exist. A few ex-

amples of conviction and punishment willstrengthen the bonds of good order, and willintimidate the unbridled in tongue and sear-ed in conscience. The materials exist forgiving a higher and more healthy tone to so-

ciety, one which shall bo moral and intel-lectual, refined and dignified ; and we areconfident that in our rapidly increasing cir-cles, there are but few if any who do not seethe necessity of a strong and united effort toeffect this moral purification.

Correction. By our own carelessness,wo made ourselves to say in the article inour last on wages, "12$ cents per diem,paid in cash," it should have read "6 centsper diem, equivalent to cash." But whilethe abominable curs are allowed to increaseand multiply, and fill the midnight hours withtheir outrageous chorus of yells, howls,barks squeaks and every other manner of vo-ciferation peculiar to the canine race, no ed-itor at least can expect long to retain his sen-ses. The trials of the day can bo borne ;

biped assailants can be coaxed, flattered,

reasoned and fought off, but reason, gunpowder, stones, or arsenic seem all alike to

be thrown away upon the quadrupeds. Now

good, kind, gentle, obliging dog-owne- rs, ifdogs ye must keep, for the love ye bear to

sound nights' rest, to suffering ears, muzzle

them, strangle them, at all events do some-

thing to keep them quiet.

Bethel Church. This building is againopen for divine worship. It has been cnlar-se- d

and otherwise improved.

Novel Punishment. On Saturday lastthe Governor sent a company of prisonersthrough the streets escorted by a file of sol-

diers and attended by a crier, who called theattention of the populace, by asking of them

if the conduct of the prisoners had beenright. It appears that they had been appre-hended for knocking out their teeth, tatooingthemselves, and indulging in other practisesof heathenism and the Gov. took this methodof exposing their shame to their fellow coun-

trymen, a punishment that will be quite asefficacious, we doubt not, as bodily

Fourth of July Accident. An acci-

dent lucky we and a fourth of July onereally that reads as if wc were still in the landof Yankcedom. But to the accident. Afriend of ours had his arm badly burnt by ablue-lig- ht while engaged in illuminating inhonor of the day, and it gives us the great-est satisfaction to state, that there is everyprospect of the arm being in a condition toburn or bo burnt again long before anoth-er 4th. comes round again.

Mysterious Disappearance. On the af-ternoon of the 4th., a young American wasseen going down toward the sea-sid- e. Thelast that was observed of him was near even-ing ; he was near one of the wharves.Since then he has not been found.

Visitors to the crater of Kilauca will begratified to learn, that an enterprising Ha-waiian has erected on the brink of the cratera comfortable thatched house. He also pro-vides food ; and in other ways, has addedmuch to the comforts and convenience oftravellers. He deserves to bo well

It has been charged upon Com. J. ToupNicholas, of H. B. M. Ship Vindictive, that hehad advised Queen Pomarc to adopt in theRoyal Standard, the Crown of England, andthat this was done through a desire to offeran insult to France. The Commodore vin-

dicates himself fully from the charge in a let-

ter to Admiral Du Petit Thouars, and re-

fers to Com. Levand, Capt.Malet, St. Georgeand others, for testimony to his uniform cour-tesy towards officers of the French Navy.The following letter, announcing on the partof Pomarc, the change in her flag, to theProvincial Government of Tahiti, was sentthem about March 1st. ult. :

copy." Her Majesty, the Queen Pomare, con-

sidering that in accordance with the usagesof all Monarchical States, the particular andpersonal flag of the Sovereign should bear amark of distinction to shew the differencebetween it and the national flag of the coun-try, whereby to know when the sovereign ispresent. The Queen hereby signifies to theProvisional Government, that henceforwardwhenever Her Majesty may be in personeither on shore or afloat, that her flag willbear a crown similar to that in the seal of herarms, which will signify that the Queenis then and there present.(Signed) Pomare, Queen of Tahiti."

This emblem consisted of a small Crown,or Coronet, with five cocoa-n- ut leaves.

For the Polynesian.Mr. Editor, With your permission I will

avail myself of your columns to call the at-

tention of the community to a subject whichyearly is presenting to us stronger claims,for action. This town with a foreign resi-dent population, numbering above 500 souls,has no suitable place of worship, for them.Some may say that the Seamen's Chapel af-fords the necessary accommodation. If thisbuilding were intended for this class it is toosmall to accommodate half their number, butit is not and we are credibly informed, andis has also come to our own experience, thatthe appropriation of the best part of this build-in- g

for pews by the residents and the num-bers that are in the habit of attending areimpediments in the way of seamen. Theyview the building and labors of the chaplainas turned from their legitimate channel.The consequence with many is a repugnanceto place themselves, in a situation whichmust necessarily produce embarrassment, foralthough their right to a free seat in any por-tion of the building is undoubted, yet thesight of a pew door, or a cushion implies aprivate claim. These cushions are also asource of perplexity to some of the residentsthemselves, and under the present arrange-ment it is impossible always to ascertainwhen and when scats can be taken withoutoffence to those who consider their claims asbetter, on account of having furnished thecushions. . I have seen a gentleman and ladywho were entering a slip occupied but by oneperson, refused a scat because that person wasexpecting some of his friends. The residentshave contributed liberally towards the Chapeland the privileges of seats have been grantedthem, but it is certainly neither wise or ex

pedient that this half and half system shouldprevail. The chapel should be either free toall or the slips transformed into pews and soldor let. I know residents who stay away fromdivine worship, on account of this irregulari-ty and because they do not wish to throw anyobstacle in the attendance of seamen, and itis a fact that they are deterred from going onaccount of the seats being so much tilled bythe residents. Now 1 ask, Mr. Editor,whether a better arrangement could not bemade; in short, whether, considering thepresent numbers and wealth of the foreignresidents, it would not be best for them toform a church and sustain a clergymen forthemselves, and not be dependent longer up-on the means of others who perhaps arc nomore able to give than we.

Yrs. Respectfully, Querv.

In reply to this communication, we wouldstate that the same facts have frequently sug-gested similar ideas to us, and while we canbear the highest testimony to the zeal andfidelity with which the present chaplain per-forms his multifarious duties, and the respectand affection with which he is viewed by allclasses, yet it appears to us that the objectsof the Seamen's Friend Society would bemore directly accomplished could the chap-lain be enabled to devote his pastoral laborsentirely to them. Enough visit this port tofill the Chapel during most of the year, andwe feel assured that there exists among thema strong desire to avail themselves of any re-

ligious advantages which may be offered. Itis also to be considered that the manner anddiction which might most favorably afl'ectthem, would not be so suitable to the morevaried shore inhabitants, and if we apprehendthe matter rightly, the primary object of aBethel is for the religious instruction of sea-men. To remove then even the appearanceof any objections such as have been urgedby Query, we are decidedly of the opinionthat the time has arrived when the prelimi-nary steps should be taken towards the es-

tablishment of a church. It will take consi-derable time and money to effect it, but untila building could be erected, a hall might behired for a place of worship. It would notrequire a large salary to induce a suitableclergyman to settle among us, and one onceestablished, we feel assured that the numberof church-goer- s would be increased and hisinfluence prove an investimable benefit toour growing community. A difficulty pres-ents itself, as to his denomination. Withoutexpressing our own opinion, we will merelyobserve that having conversed with numberwho have the accomplishment of this objectat heart, they have unanimously expressedtheir opinions in favor of a selection from theEpiscopal Church; and this opinion is main-

ly from those who are not of that faith them-

selves, but consider her discipline and doc-

trines as best calculated to unite a communi-ty in which so great a diversity of opinionson religious topics prevails, as in this. Thisis a matter for further reflection, and what-

ever may be the result, we earnestly hopethat this subject will not be dropped, but thatsome persons will take it upon themselves tolearn the sense of the community and to actaccordingly.
