A world is found hid in the distant wet, It lay for ages in old ocean's breast ; There it had been since first the East began, And still unknown, untrod by haughty man ; There it had mocked in solitude sublime, strides the lofty march of time. Long had proud Europe slept in starless night, Old Greece and Romo were gone, and with them light ; Fair wisdom wept in solitary glen, With monks retired from the paths of men; And science buried in those awful cells, No sweeter praise she heard than chime of bells. And there, recluse, full oft she mourned the hour, When conquering ignorance bound her magic power. But age on age at length had rolled away, Knowledge resumed her proud and ancient sway, And now fair wisdom, that celestial maid, Had fled from monks and burst the cloistered shade, When bold Columbus left his native land, To set k another world another strand. He leaves his kindred and his native shore, Treads in a path that none had trod beforl ; And fearless tempts the perils of the deep, The winds, the waves, the storms, that never sleep. Hope swells his sail ambition steers his bark-F- ame is the prize a distant world the mark. The dangers past, the lengthened voyage o'er, Triumphant now he treads Columbia's shore. And now the thought exulting heaves his breast, That he from peril here has found a rest ; That he has turned the shafts of scorn aloof, With truth's strong buckler ing proof; That he has given with unsparing hands, To princes empires, and to peasants lands. Nor was forgot in that exulting hour, The leading hand of an Almighty Power : For, bending low he worshipped on the sod. And breathed with pious lips a thank to God. Now see wide-spreadi- ng to the astonished view, A world around us how sublimely new. See lofty hills in slow gradation rise, Until at length they seem to pierce the skies; See many a stream flow on through many a plain, Still gathering strength until they reach the main; O'er many a hrt tk see mountain streamlets bound, And lofty forests nodding all around. Here oft is heard the long and mad'ning howl, Of savage men and savage beasts that prowl; Here stalks the Indian in the midnight deep, Dreams of revenge or waking or asleep; Here oft these wilds have known the bloody scene, When life runs out in many a crimson stream; And oft they'd known the fierce and awful hour, When weakness faintly gasped in savage power. Land of the mountain and the mighty flood, O Nature made thee in her wildest mood ! Land of the forest and the mighty lake, Man calls on thee from solitude awake ! The world goes on see change succeed to change, How trifling some, and some how passing strange ; See now Columbia smile from shore to shore, A desert waste three hundred years before ; Where forests stood sec mighty cities rise, Whose lofty domes aspiring reach the skies; See farm and village spread o'er many a plain. Where solitude once held her ancient reign; See science shine, see flourish every art, And trade and commerce thrive in every part; Her sons ne'er bow to proud oppression's nod, They fear but one they worship only God. Favored of Heaven! Land of the brave and free! The oppressed from every country fly to thee; If once they reach thy hospitable shore, Of dangers past and toils, they dream no more; But there in peace they tie the social knot, The present unperplexed the past forgot. With thee Columbia my native land, May gracious Heaven deal with gentle hand; May it avert from thee the storms of State, And every woe that latent may await; May some kind Angel guard thy boundless shore, Alike from foreign and intestine war; May the hot blood of fierce and lawless broil, Na'er impious stain thy consecrated soil, But if my country's violated laws, Or it fair freedom's ever sacred cause, Demand imperious the avenging sword ; O! then may victory be the just award, Then, then in triumph may thy banner wave, And its bright star to glory guide the brave.

Some pretty gardens are to be seen in the rear, and high above the town : these belong chiefly to the foreign the richest of whom, here, live in much luxury. The hills on which the southern portion of the town is built, are much broken up into ravines, or, as they are termed in the lan- guage of the country, These are narrow, allowing of only a footpath; yet on either side, wherever houses can be made to stand, they have been erect- ed. In a country so prolific of these residences appear singularly insecure ; but they are chiefly those of the lowest or- ders, and built of cane and mud, can be al- most as speedily built as overthrown. The doors of some overhang the roofs of others. Row after row, and group after group, rise one above another, just where the nature of the declivity, and the whims of their con- structors permitted. There are many such streets, in and about the town, and arc all densely populated, and they give it a singu- lar appearance, reminding one of the manner in which build their nests. In heavy rains (which are rare,) torrents of water rush down their narrow beds, doing no little damage to the frail structures which line the ways. Not after a storm, small quantities of virgin gold are found. The soil every where abounds with it, in minute grains, but not in a sufficient quantity to reward the present method of it: has, however, some fine streets, and tolerable public build- ings, but it is of too recent growth to exhibit structures to compare with those of Lima or Santiago. Its population is now 40,000, having doubled itself within twenty years. The southern portion is built on a sandy plain, called the Almcndral. Here the streets are wide, and the houses spacious; some are of three stories, the upper of which, on ac- count of are built of reeds, and other light and yielding materials, nice- ly joined together, and the whole handsome- ly painted, or plastered.

In winter a fire is not unfrequently desirable; but during the summer, the dust and heat arc excessive at noon-da- y. The atmosphere is, however, bracing. Slight shocks of earth- quakes are frequent, and the inhabitants live in dread ofmore disastrous ones.

The scenes, on some of these occasions, when the motley population of all colors, classes, virtues, and no virtue at all, are turned thus hastily from their beds into the street, is a better subject for the imagination than the pen. But when once seen, the affrighted inhabit- ants, in 'their robes dc nuit," screaming, "un temblor !" assaulting the heavens with their Ave Marias, it is not to be quickly for- gotten.

For, bending low he worshipped on the sod.And breathed with pious lips a thank to God.

mospherc which is purity itself, in short thatglorious weatlicrjl.wltbcl ever brings in itstrain one fair day to succeed another, with

but1 enough rem to temper the heat and moist-

en the ground. The contrast with the varia-

tions of our climate is great, where you oftenbegirt the day in a brilliant sky, and end it

amid a tempest of rain, wind, thunder, andlighting, or perhaps a freezing, driving snow-

storm. Some days there are which cannotfee excelled in giving a healthful elasticity tothe spirits. But they arc few compared with

those which bring a sad array of diseases intheir train. It really seems as if our climatehad been organized upon the principle of let-

ting every one choose such weather as helikes, and a pretty medley have they madeof it." With all its disagreeables, that it is

favorable to longevity, our hardy farmers canattest, but is only tough constitutions thatcan outlive the period of seasoning.

The linst. winter to those who have comefrom a warmer climate is the most agreeable.The second is more felt, and olJ twinges,aches, and sore-point- s, which had been bu-

ried in oblivion at Oahu, begin to show thatthey bnly slumbered. It is a trying season,but once through and the health good, theseasoning may be said to be perfected. I

have not as yet been able to look with anypleasure upon an icicle or a snow-ban- k, andthe early change of death of the foliage strikesa chili over my whole system. Habit will

soon accustom one to these things however.The rich have not much to fear. The recentimprovements in warming houses and regu-

lating their temperature by means of air-furnac- es,

enables them to maintain a perpetualsummer, and without a sign of fire or a fire-

place in our best houses, oranges and othertropical trees can be seen in full bearing,during the cldest days of winter. What acapital thing it would be if a city or towncould be warmed on the same principle. Itmight be acomplished if we had Kilaucawithin a mile of us, and warm air be distrib-uted in the same manner as water along thestreets. Who knows but it will be so finally.

Mr. Editor, It may not be altogetherunacceptable to your readers to see in yourcolumns discursive Essays of a general na-

ture, upon those Legal points most useful tobe known in all countries. Of these, thegeneral obligation to allegiance, which theaccident of birth confers; the nature of tem-

porary allegiance, or domiciliation ; the na-

ture of naturalization, its effects upon nativeallegiance, and what are its binding obli-

gations; are all subjects of enquiry whichcannot fail to interest, particularly in thesew formation of a government.

These topics arc not found complete inany one juridical work, and the nice enqui-rer is forced into a labyrinth of books, fromthe Law of Nature, to the Reports of In-

stance and Prize Courts, Records of Judi-cial Impeachments, and Trials for Treason,at the Assizes, and courts of Oyer and Ter-miner, in order to a critical understandingof them.

My time is otherwise too much occupiedto admit of a minutely detailed examinationof these subjects, even should you deemthem legitimate matters of interest to thiscommunity, but I propose simply to collatefrom tho most authoritative authors, Historic,and Judicial, what has been, and still is theuniversal understanding upon those subjects.

' An enquiry like the one proposed will, ne-

cessarily, be continuous, and should youpermit it, will be addressed to you in num-bers, 'since, I doubt not there aro some intho reading and reflecting community whowill approve, and even be pleased with anattempt to elucidate the topics alluded to;Besides which, I regard it of fundamentalUtility to His Majesty's government, that thepeople be informed of their rights and duties,privileges and disabilities, in the variousphases of the social compact. Many of theserights; duties, privilege 'and disabilities,

T H i: P 0 L V N KS I A.N.

are only deducible from uniform practice,(which makes part of the unwritten law,)and from the reasoning and deductions ofcelebrated jurists: all so diffused, and buriedin the obscurity of innumerable books, as torender it next to impossible for the mass,even of reading men, to get at them withcertainty. My aim is to place before thepublic in the form of extract, under appro-

priate heads, such principles of the existingLaw of Nations, drawn from different sour-

ces, as will enable the candid among yourreaders to perceive the fitness and proprietyof measures adopted from time to time by

the government, which, without information,might appear unprecedented, and unneces-

sary. And 1 sincerely trust that even thisattempt, humble though it be, will have atendency to methodise tho principles of thegovernment now developing, and heightenthat respect for its functionaries and its laws,without which no government can perma-nently exist.

CHILDREN HORN IN A COUNTRY.

"Persons born in a country arc deemedby the Law of Nations, to be citizens, orsubjects of that country. A reasonable qual-

ification of this rule would seem to be, thatit should not apply to the children of parentswho were in itinerc in the country, or whowere abiding there for temporary purposes,as for health, or curiosity, or occasionalbusiness. It would be difficult, however, toassent, that in the present state of publiclaw, even such a qualification of the rule isestablished." Judge Story's Conflict of theLaws, 48.

" If a person has fixed his abode in a for-

eign country, he is become the member ofanother society, at least as perpetual inhabi-tant, and his children arc so too." Valid:Law of Nations, B. 1, C. 19, 215.

'The children of aliens have a naturalattachment to the society in which they areborn: being obliged to acknowledge the pro-tection granted to their fathers, they arcobliged to it, in a great measure, for theirbirth and education. They ought to love it,express a just gratitude to it, and as muchas possible, return benefit for benefit."Vattd: B. 1, C. 19 220.

"The place of birth of a person is con-

sidered as his domicil." "This is usuallydenominated the domicil of birth, or nativity,domicilium originis. But if the parents arethen on a visit, or on a journey, (in itinerc,)the home of the parents (at least if it is intho same country) will be deemed the domi-cil of birth or nativity. If he is an illigiti-mat- e

child, he follows the domicil of themother. Ejus, qui justum patrcm non habet,prima origo a inatrc." Story's Con. ofLaws,44; Cod, Lib., 10, tit. 31, 1,3G. 2 Doinat.Public Law, B. tit. 16, 3, Art. 10. 1

"Children of aliens, born here in Eng-land, are natural born subjects, and entitledto all the privileges of such." Blk. Com. v.I , p. 374.

"In this respect there is not any differ-ence between our laws and those of France.In each country birth confers the right ofnaturalization." 1 Wood, 386.

" A child born of foreign parents in Francemay claim the rights of a Frenchman, de-

claring, if not domiciled in France, his in-

tention to fix there." Code Civile 1, 1, 9."By the 11, and 12, William III, C. 6,

natural born subjects may derive a title bydescent, through their parents, or any ancestor, though such ancestor be an alien."

ALIENS RESIDING TEMPORARILY IN A COUNTRY.

"Even in the countries where every stran-ger freely enters, the sovereign is supposedto allow him access, only upon this tacitcondition, that he be subject to the laws;the public safety, the rights of the nationand of the Prince, necessarily require thiscondition, and the stranger; tacitly submitsto it ns soon as he enters the country, as hecannot presume on having access upon nnv

other footing. The Empire has the right to

command in the whole country, and the laws

arc not confined to regulating the conduct

of tho citizens among themselves; but they

determine what ought to be observed by all

orders of people throughout the whole ex-

tent of the state."" In virtue of this submission, the stran-

gers who commit a fault ought to be punished

according to the laws of the country. Theend of pains and penalties is to render thelaws respected, and to maintain order and

safety."" From the same reason the disputes that

may arise between the strangers, or between

a stranger and u citizen, ought to be deter-

mined by the Judge of the place, and also,according to the law of the place; and

as the dispute properly arises from the refu-

sal of the defendant, who pretends not to

owe what is demanded of him, it follows

from the same, principle, that every defend-

ant ought to be prosecuted before tliis judge,who alone has the right to restrain, or con-

demn him. The defendant's judge is thejudge of the place where this defendant hashis domicil, or that of the place where thedefendant is, when any sudden difficultyarises, providing it does not relate to an Es-

tate in land, or to a right annexed to suchan Estate. In this last case, as these pos-

sessions ought to be enjoyed according tothe Laws of the country where they arc situ-

ated, and as the right of granting such pos-

sessions is vested in the superior of the coun-

try, the disputes relating to them can onlybe decided in the. state on which they de-

pend." Valid: Law of Nations, B. 2,'Ct.8, 101, 102.

"During the residence of aliens amongstus, they owe a local allegiance, and areequally bound with natives to obey all gen-

eral laws for the maintenance of peace, andthe preservation of order, and which do notrelate specially to our citizens. This is aprinciple of justice and of public safety, uni-

versally adopted; and if they are guilty ofany illegal act, or involved in disputes withour citizens, or with each other, they arcamenable to the ordinary tribunals of thecountry." 2 Kent, p. 55.

"Local allegiance is such as is' due froman alien, or stranger bom, for so long atime as ho continues within the King's do-

minion and protection; and it ceases the in-

stant such stranger transfers himself fromthis kingdom to another." Blk. Com., 370.

NATURALIZED PERSONS.

"By naturalization an alien is put exact-ly in the same state as if he had been born inthe King's allegiance." 1 Blk. Com., 374.

"Naturalization cancels all defects, andand is allowed to have a retrospective ener-gy which simple Denization has not." Cokeon Lyttleton 129.

" Naturalization is not, as Denization maybe, merely for a time, but is absolutely for-

ever." Cro, Jac, 539." A person duly naturalized becomes enti-

tled to all the privileges and immunities of anatural born subject," &c 2 Kent, 57.

In succeeding numbers I will adduce au-

thorities to show what is Allegiance; its na-ture and extent; whether natural, temporary,or sworn; how far a citizen or subject canrenounce his allegiance to his native sove-reign; and whether the native country canexercise any authority over its subjects resi-ding permanently abroad. Ligamen.

Honolulu, 15th July, 1844.

To the Kditoh op the PolynesiansSir, I feel much obliged to your corres-

pondent who under the signature of " Jl Mer-chant," in your paper of tho 20th, makessome remarks upon my statistical notes pub-lished in the Friend ofthe 1st June. He isright in believing that I did not intend to im-

pute to the merchants residing here "anywilful fraud" in the valuations given in tothe Custom house, of goods to their consign-ment. My observation opplied to the broadclass of importer generally, and not particu-larly to the merchants of Honolulu, of whoselegality anil good foifh. I had 'previously re

fJn.r,

corded my opinion, on tho respectable testi-

mony of the Collector, Mr. fVilliam Paty,as will be seen in note No. 7, to my Tablepublished in the Friend ofthe 1st May. '

Any apprehension I ventured to expressarose from the remarkable disparity in the" range ofprices" published in the Friend of1st June, and not from the. items of Entriesquoted by your correspondent; which wereintended, merely to illustrate tho . abuse ofmaking entries in mass.

It is obvious that your correspondent is amerchant well versed in the details of Com-

merce, and therefore I feel persuaded thathe will concur with me in this that everymerchant in the Sandwich Islands is interes-ted in the efficiency of this government;that the government never can be efficientwithout an adequate revenue ; and that thosechecks and regulations found necessary inthe United States and England, either forthe prevention of fraud, or the informationof government in every thing relating totneir own annual trade, may be adopted bythis government, without any just cause ofcomplaint:

Beyond the welfare of the Hawaiian peo-

ple, I have no object in the Notes and tableswhich have been published; it is impossibleto promote that welfare without proportion-ally benefiting every merchant who livesamongst them, and acting in accordancewith the beneficent spirit which animatedthree of the greatest nations on earth to re-

cognize these Islands as an IndependentState.

I beg that you will insert this letter, lestmy note, complained of by "A Merchant,"should be so misunderstood in Foreign coun-tries, as he seems to think it may, and whichI should be very sorry for. In Honolulu, Iam sure it has not been so misunderstood,if I may judge from the remarks of "A Mer-chant" himself, and from the many kind ci-

vilities which 1 continue to receive from themerchants generally, and all other classesof its inhabitants. ,

Allow ine to add that I shall always bethankful for any communication pointing outany mistake or error that may be detectedin my notes, or supplying any thing that I

may have omitted, but that such communi-cations ought either to be addressed to medirect, or to be signed by the authors.

1844.1

We have had the ' pleasure of receivingfrom a few individuals, pledges to the amountof $130 annually, for tho support of an Kpiscopal Clergyman. A few additional hundreds would raise the. amount sufficiently toaccomplish the object ; and we request those,who are interested, to send us in theirnames, with the amounts they would feel ableto devote to the object. It would give i

much pleasure, if omo older and more expo--rirucuu iaiuv iii, vwiiiu uikg ims matter earneatly in hand ; but if none such, with suflicient leisure can be found, we beg our readera to bear patiently with our humble efforts,and such as feel disposed, to aid us in our hibor. Wc look upon the establishment of anindependent church here, as of vital interestto the well-bei- ng of the community. No nation can permanently prosper, in which exists not the form or substance of GodlinessWc say this reverentially. . That people,whose God is the Lord, will most assuredlybe increased, and peace and plenty dwellwithin their borders. A large and increasiiig class exists without the means of religious instruction. A spirit of indifferencethe fore-runn- er. of skepticism, prevails to alamentable extent. I he admonition of parents, the examples of early years, and theinherent sense of duty, which sooner or latcr visits the breast of every man not pet rified to all moral feeling, lose their influencein the lax morality which prevndes all communities where exists no systematic Divineworship. Occasional indulgences becomefixed habits, and the mind from constant ha-

bitude to worldly passions, unadmonished bythe public hearing of truth, the harmony ofpraise, and the contrition of penitent hearts,soon ceases to look to another God than theidols of its own desires. History, with fingers of blood, points to those cases, (alas ! toomany,) where human vanity has usurped divine law awful has been tho retributionand societies, nurturing the seeds of theirown dissolution, have either perished miserably, strangled in the chaos of their own vices, or have acknowledged the hand thathastened them and aain reared the stand

ard they had insulted and contemned. Inthe youth of any community, it is of thehighest importance, that the foundation ofreligious and intellectual instruction be deep-

ly laid. Schools we must and will have,suitable to the varied.-- wants of the risinggeneration ; but paramount to them is religious instruction. Both, however, are tooclosely allied to be separated, though theexamples of a Tyrol, certain cantons ofSwitzerland, La Vendee and Iceland showthat peace and happiness flow from a devo-

tional spirit, even if not illumined by all thelight of modern science. We conceive thatsystem of religious instruction best, which isfounded upon voluntary support ; and it ison this plan that a church should be estab-

lished here. There are those, who scoff atthe idea of supporting any religion, but itwill be well for such to recollect, that theirscoffs are directed at those immutable princi-ples, and divine revelations, which havebrought them the very blessings they nowenjoy ; and that, if they would have them in-

creased, and the incipient bud become theripened fruit, they should add their mite.

Ry these remarks, we by no means wishto have it inferred, that there is a destitutionof religious instruction in this kingdom.Far from it the means already providedhave laid the foundation of national prosper-ity. The laborers have been faithful, andthe results are a striking manifestation of thesaying, "my peace I leave with you." Butthey are inadequate to the wants of the mostimportant portion of the community that,which both from knowledge, wealth, and vig-

or of intellect will have a powerful influ-

ence upon the destinies of this country.It is to provide for them' and their children,that wc advocate this cause

It costs no more to build symmetrically,than to pile lime and stone together in bar-barous confusion.

In conclusion, we would suggest, that n

meeting of those who subscribe, should soontake place, and if it is their opinion, acommittee be formed to draft a letter tothe suitable authorities, in the United States,stating their desires, and the amount thatcan be raised here towards their accomplish-ment ; and also, to transact such other busi-ness as may be necessary, subject to thosanction of the subscribers.

The interest which is now manifested inthe cause of temperance, cannot, but be high-ly gratifying to every friend of order and hu-

manity. A meeting was held on Tuesdayevening last, at Hungtai's which was wellattended by those interested in the cause.The names of those who had taken the tee-

total pledge were read others added, ap-

propriate addresses made, and the prelimi-nary steps taken for more efficient action bythe formation of a society.

The benevolent propensities 6f our Amer-ican brethren, not (infrequently display them-selves in a remarkable manner. We haveoften been amused in witnessing the openingof some huge package, prepared by kindsouls afar ofT, for the comfort of their friends j

this way. But we venture to say, n greater'or more striking display of charity, was nev-

er exhibited in our streets, than during theprogress through them, of the huge pine-woo- d

pulpit, recently landed from the Globe.It has made its appearance here, coveredwith carved-wor- k and cushions, whose lus-

tre has somewhat faded through long years ofpreaching, flights of steps and all. If an Es-

quimaux, clothed in skins, and redolent withtrain oil, had been suddenly dropped intoour principal thoroughfare, he would nothave been more astonished at the heat, thanthe recipients of this bounty were at its mag-

nitude. The cost of getting it here, cannotbe much short of $200, and its use may berepresented thus, O. From its tout ensemblewe arc not at all surprised that its originalproprietors were pleased to get it 20,000miles from home.

We learn from the Nonanona, of the 23d.inst., of tho arrival here of the new schoonerEinclia, of 1 10 tons, built at Waimea, Kau-

ai. She is said to be a good sailor.

Wc have numerous communications onhand, which shall receive attention as fastas more important engagements will permit.

Female Beauty. To sum the whole, thecharms that arc really indispensable.to beingbeloved, and may be possessed by every onewho is not personally, or mentally, or moral-ly deformed. Let us enumerate them.

First an eye, whether black, blue, orgray, that has the spirit of kindness in its ex-pression.

Secondly a mouth that is able to say agood deal, and that sincerely. Its teeth kept

clean possible, must be very good m-atured to servants, and friends that come un-

expectedly to dinner.Thirdly a figure that shall preserve itself,

not by neglecting any of its duties, but bygood taste, exercise, and a dislike of grossliving.

Fourthly the art of being happy at homeand making that home the abode of peace.Where can peace dwell if there be no piety?These qualities will sway the souls of men,when the shallower perfections enumeratedin this article would cease to charm. Agood heart is the best beautilier. Ladies'Magazine.
