From the Sandwich Islands. By an arrival at New Bedtord, we have received a file of the Polynesian to the 10th of Aug. 1844. ‘he U. 8. ait Warren was then lying in the harbor of Honolulu. The following officers were on board the Warren:— Rutledge; wil- ; Surgeon, Wi Fy. Powell; Pur ;, Assistant Surgeon, E. Hudson; Mid- laric Kellogg, A W. Johnson, D. Mi- zy pio woe Crdne, Stanwix Gensevoort, Jefferson, McRoberts. natal The Polynesian is the official journal of the H waiian government, 0 list of “principal officers of his majesty’s civil adminii tration; of the chiefs entitled to rank ; and of the Uecat iecemiane of the more important local offices , The Polynesian of July 20, contains an “order in council, prescribing a code of etiquette,” report- ed by the attorney general, and a proclamation by the king establishing it. ‘This proclamation to the seeeae corps residing near the court, commen- ces thue:— it and so} testify our recognition of the binding force of ventisnel useges,and to manifest our equal conslderation oe all friendly nations, do ordain the following code of Article 1.

Because the American commissioner first presented his credentials on the 30th of October, 1848; the corfsul- general of Her Britanic Majesty next—on the 10th of ruary, 1844; and the consul of France could not offi- cially kiiow the independence until after the joint gua- rantee, so as to be considered as diplomatically accredited until tim So that the reasons all seem to concur at present, for assigning to three powers ip reciprocity with your Mojesty the following order :— 1.

The following extract from the Polynesian of Aug. 3, will probably be as gratifying asa similar account of the progress of royalty which recently reached us from another point of the compass :— Arrival or His Masgsty.—His Majesty had been expected for an4 days previous to the 30th, but the vessels on bSard of which he had embark- ed with his suite from Lahaina. did not come in i e’clock, A. M., Tuesday, when the n gun, and the hoisting of the ee Ha- waiian ensign on the battery on Punch-bow! Hill, announced the fact. His Excellency, Gov. Keku- anaoa immediately left the harbor in his new and beautiful barge, to meet His Majesty. At twelve o’cluck, asthe little squadron, consisting of the echooners Hoikaika, Paalua, Victoria, and the new vessel recently built at Hawaii, came abreast of the town, the salnte of twenty-one guns was fired on Punch-bowl Hill. Soon after, the vessels, with a fair breeze, entered the harbor, and His ‘Majesty and suite embarked in the barge for the ahore, the Hawaiian flag fiving at the stern, and the royal standard at the bow. In passing the U.'S. ship Warren, her yards were manned and ‘a royal salute fired, bothtof which attracted attention for the ae Pere 1 ArPdoes 9 oer ‘were omen is Majesty’s household strong, and a company from the fort, in all 350 ‘muskeis, were drawn up at the landing to receive him. The troope looked well, were neatly accoutred, and their offi- cers made quite & shewy appearance in their new uniforms. His Majesty stepped ashore amid the music of the band and the roar of cannons from the water battery, and with the Queen on his arm, at- tended by the Hon. Secretary of State, G. P. Judd, their Excellencies the Governors of Oahu and Maui, the high chiefs A. Paki, C. Kanaina, and Col. J. Stephens, under escort of the Mil ry pro- led to Kilika, the building fitted for his Majesty’s service while he remains in town. A large concourse of people were assembled to wit- ness the royal cortege. i 2 Her Royal Highness the Premier, with the la- dies of her court, soon after landed from the Pi alua, and were received by the military under arme at Manna Kilika, the band playing the while ‘‘God save the King.” His Majesty, during the remain- der of the morning, was waited upon by the offi- cersof his government and The royal pry, were in excellent health and spirits. Royal audience was given at t_ o’clock in the evening to the representatives of foreign powers, and the residents generally, who were received by their Majesties the King and Queen, Her Royal Highness the Prem: id the ladies and gentl men of the court. The saloon was fully illumi ted, the audience nnmerously attended, and for Honolulu, thie friendly assemblage of all parties, with the glitter of uniforms and the rich and taste tul dresses, both of the Ha: ian las ind foreign a rendered the spectacle both novel and leasing. . The Sap of August 10, accordingly furnishes an account of these festivities, occupying several columns It was the anniversary of the restoration ot the Hawaiian flag by Admiral Thomas. The festival lasted three days It was conducted en- tirely on temperance principles, no winés of any kind being used We may give some further ac- count of the ceremonies ata futureday. __ ‘We do not perceive any intelligence politically impzrtant in these papers—unless the following come under that catego: Admiral Thomas hes given orders that for the present no British war ships shall enter the harbor of Papeite, which is the reason the frigate Th did not come to anchor there. We also unde stand that the Thalia sails for Valparaiso in a few day We learn that the Tahitians are encamped 2000 strong, not far from Papeite, and threaten to re- commence hostilities if the French pass their dry other extraets.

New York Historical Society. The firs: meeting of this body for the new year was held on Tuesday evening, at theirrooms in the University ; the Ist Vice President, Mr Lawrence, in the Chair, supported by the 2nd Vice President, Dr. De Witt. The minutes having been read and approved, the Secretary read letters from Clinton Haring, of De troit, John V. L. Pruyn, and 8. 9: Remdake, Exqs. of Albany, acknowledging their election as corres- ponding members. Professor Mason, the Treastrer, presented his annual report on the finances of the society from which it appeared that the receipts during the past year have been $2.026 12; the expenditures have amounteg to $1970 66° aving a balance in the Treasury of $55 46, and about $500 now due from memb: The report further stated, that a large part of the expenditures had been for book cases, fixtures, and old claims of many yearsstanding, and that the society was now free from all debts and liabilities of every kind. . Mr. Ginas, the Librarian, announced the dona- tions during the past month, and read a letter from Mr W. A. Whitehead, ity, presenting an | portrait of his grandtather, Lewis Morris, of Morrisania, the father of Governeur Mostie, our former minister to France, &c. By whom it was inted is not known, but it has always been con- sidered by the familv a good likeness. This por- trait is a valuable addition to the historical gallery, as Mr. Morris was a prominent citizen of the Pro- vince of New York, a member of the Legislature, and subsequently, until his death, Judge of Vice Admiralty for New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. Also a letter from Jos. G. Co, gewell, Esq, presenting the Bibliotheca Historica of Meusel, which contains a better catalogue raisonné of books belonging to our history, than can be found elsewhere. The Historical Library was hens ponies by Struvens,fthen enlarged by Buder, and finally brought out inits present form, every way im- proved by Meusel. Its plan is not merely to specify the various works referred to, under their appro- priate heade, but also to give some account of their contents, and of the estimate in which they are held, and being written in Latin is or ought to be accep- tible to every reader. Meueel, in his day, was re- garded as one of the arned and accurate of the historical and statistical writers of Germany.— Mr. Coggewellfimported this work for his own use about a year since, but as it 18 rare here, there being no other fore acto York, he generousi; presented it to the Society, regarding it as a wor! which-will be more generally useful by placing it in_a public beany: Mr.{Grass read a letter from Robert Greenhow, Esq of Washington, in acknowledgment of the resolution paseed by the Society, at their last meet- ing, requesting him to prepare a memoir on the Discovery and Exploration of the Atlantic Coast of the United States. Mr. Greenhow statedshat the istory of the Northern portion of the coast has been investigated with minuteness, and that with respect tothat portion he should have to perform only the humble office of abridging. With regard to the coast South of the Delaware, and especiall that of the Northern side of the Mexican gulf, }. some researches in which he has been engaged, have convinced him that much curious, if not im- portant information lies buried in volumes rarely Mr. Greenhow, has already collected many valuable facts rela to the deanery aad settlement of the countrie named, which he ee any event communicate to the Historical iety. é The Librarian then read hisannual Hs on the state of the library, giving an account of the addi- tions thereto during the year, and submitting a list of the same. The report contained also a state- ment of the progress of the catalogue of the lib: 4 now preparing, and urged upon the Society the necessity of providing a !ibrary fund. Gen.

There was an.eeting of this body on Monday, at their rooms in the Park.- General Tallmadge, the President, took the chair precisely at 12 o’clock ; the duties of Secretary were performed by Mr. Meigs, who opened the business, if we may tse that term, by reading one ot two communications from correspondents of the Society, relative to the rais- ing of mushrooms, and something elee. Exhibitions being next in order, Mr. Meias suh- mitted for the inspection of that learned body, four potatoes of tolerable size, and not exactly ‘SMALL, Observing, that they were deserving of keen examination, enjoying the claesic name of peepers, and possessing many good qualities, which, if they were,cooked would be quite discernible to any one with a tolerable appetite. (Assent from all parts of the house.) The Presipent—I am clearly of opinion. that, these potatoes are of French descent, and of a mast healthy race. (General movement of curiosity, and free interchange of- opinion, in a low voice, about the potatoes ) Gentlemen—If you will take our seats and come to order, we will proceed toa farther exhibition. (All seated—solemn silence ) I wish to state that my friend,Mr Bell,of the packet ship company has been. industriously engeged in obtaining for the benefit of his country and all posterity, a remarkable kind of pear, of which 1 will ask him to produce a specimen, and explain it as he goes along. (Mr. Bell here exhi- bited a couple of pears, apparently good fruit, to whieh all eyes was directed ) Gentlergen, con- tinued the Presivent, the pear which now lies op the table weighs just 18 ozs , 17 pennyweights, as Tweighed them this morning in Mr. Geddingw? gold balance, (Sensation). _ fF ‘ Mr Batt being pressingly invited, gave asketch, genealogical, historical, and h ultural, of the above mentioned fruit.” He had with much pains procured twoyoung trees from France, which were now growing in his garden in Staten Toland. “The breed was first introduced into France by Napo- leon, whodemanded the great pear from the Grand Turk, when in his expedition to Egypt; and the stock was a native of Angora, the ancient Ancyra, part of the dominionsof Turkey in Europe. nah PS the trees borne fruit yet, Mr. ye | Mr. Beti—They are saly Anoruzr Mzmper aske tasted the fruit, or wi pearagoodone. , __ Mr. Bett—Yee, sit ; it is excellent. Mr. Cummina—Allow me to sag that some ob- jections have been made to the effect that it is identical with our pound pear, and’ one very dis- tinguished horticulturist and practical farmer, Mr. Reid, gave that as his impression. i The Presipent was disposed to believe that the decendants of the Angora pear were already in tte country, and. were none other than those nown as poum wens. Mr Walesa ill the pound pear keep a time %1 r. ( ummina—I don’t know, sir; but I have heard Mr. refase a large price for his pears. Preerpant—As Mr. Bell has taken the trouble. to procure these pears, I thought it important to an- nounce it to the Institute. M ae Mr. Cumming ever seen the ‘ar Mr. Cumutne--No, [ have not. . The Prasr t—The great object we all havein view, is to stimulate the public and all interested, to make effort in improvements ot all kinds. Ano we therefore feel a great obligation to Mr. Bell, for his exertions, and happy. that this country was now in esion of the Angora pear.

"If there was nothing elee before the house. he woulv submit to them a few remarks. Gen. Tallmadge here addressed the meeting in a fifteen minutes epeech, and presented a catalogue or exposition of the great fair held every four years, by royal autho. tity at Paris, for the encouragement of commerce the arts. It had been pracars through hie friend Mr. Jay, and was full of valuable suggettions, in its enumeration of the variousproductions of the skill and science of the French people The speaker in the course of his address, instituted a very unfavorable comparieon tor the American go vernment, between it, and that jided over by the tyrant Louis Philippe,who, to do him justice,un- derstood and promoted the sulid interests of hissub- jects; and concluded by exhibiting a percelain ink- stand of curious construction, obtained at the French capitol by Mr. Jav, and for which a patent was there taken out in 1839. f , A Memaen—I beiieve we have that kind of ink- stand in this city now. ‘es, plenty of them. Voice—I have seen it in England also, but not in that style. Parsipent—It is the style that strack me. We will now go to another subject : a friend of mine at Neuvitas, on the South side of the Island of Cuba, has sent me a book containing the particutars of an agricultural association there, which I submit for the perusal of any gentleman who can read oe (A pause, during which it lay on the t ie. Mr. Mries—(Tal up the book)—This book, sir, I find pays a small compliment to the Ameni- can Institute. (Marks of approbation.) Paresrpent—Read it, Mr iacigs. , Mr. Matas proceeded to read from the Spanish pamphlet a few lines bearing friendly testimony to the utility of the American [nstitute, and expressive of the convictien thatthey hed nothing in Cuba to oe its hereulean labors in the cause of agri- culture. The Presrpent, before introducing the ae subject for the discussion of the day, (the estab lishment of an agricultural college and model farm in the vicinity of New York,) drew the attention of the meeting to the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury, for the purpose of correcting certain tallacies which prevailed in the public mind, and which were not likely to be corrected by that document. Gen. Tallmadge spoke half an hour on matters of poli | economy, the export of bul- lion, the tariff, high protective duties, commerce, manufactures, and protection, @ la is, a8 & a basie tor national proeperity; all which seemed to convince the audience that there was “ some- thing rotten in Denmark.” The cultural college was then taken up. Mr. Meigs made a sensible speech on the subject, and was followed by Dr. Underhill, Professor Mapes, Mr. Wakeman, and the President ; but as there was no resolution proposed, and an extraordinary number of truths propounded and proved as clear as five and tour make ten, it is unnecessary to say more than that they all were unanimous in ending the debate, at three o’clock, just where they began.

The report that the Small Pox had broken out in Racine roves to be incorrect. The Advocate says that a person that villege was ed by the Vi id in a modi6- ed form, that he was removed to Caledonia,ten miles from Racine, and that the village is not and has not been visit- ed by the small Pox. “eare glad to hear it. Next to Green Bay, Racine occupies the first place in our estima- tion, it being the next prettiest villege in Wisconsin. A daily paperin Milwaukie! Where, but ten years ago, @ few huts, a multitude «f Indian wigwams covered its present site. Then few even of the most sanguine who visited its locale, ever dreamed that in the short space of ten years it would be a handsome city, with a population of 6,000 inhabitants : with a degree of public spirit sur- passed by few if any one community in the western world ; with as great ashare of enterprise as usually falls te the lot of western towns; with a gvodly quantity of natural as well as created advantages; with the trade of three-fourths of this vast and flourishing demain known as Wisconsin; with commercial facilities equal to any town on Lake Michigan ; with the means for internal im- provements to a vast amount ; and with a native energy and a commendable pride, that prompts its citizens to en- courage and sustain every project which tends to add to the prosperity and wealth of their city; with all these, together with many other edvantoges which might be named, ukie bids fair to outstrip the most prosper- ous towns of the west. Case of Bishop Benjamin 1, Onderdonk, D.D. Mr. Eprror,— a Having seen several articles in the daily press, zi on the decision of the Ecclesiastical Court, which has receatly given a verdict adverse to the Bishop of New York, and which seem to inculcate that said decision must, asa matter of course, direct and decide public opinion on the subject, wiil you permit one who has yet to form an intelligent opinion in relation to these proceed- ings to suggest that the public, and especially the members of the Episoreal Church, owe it to them- selvee, as well as to all the parties concerned, to withheld a decision as to tne correctness.of the finding and sentence of the Court until the publi- cation of all the proceedings of said tribunal? The tact that the Court was not unanimous, either in the verdict or sentence, is sufficient cause for such snspe sionfof opinion, If it be true, as is asserted, without denial, that six of the Bishops constituting the Court, voted foracquittal, I for one am desirous of ascertaining with whieh party [ am to vote, whether with the majority or the minority. So far as public opinion is concerned over person being about to be put in full possession of all that was before the Court in relation to the charge against Bisnop Onderdonk, must make up an opi- nion on the merits of the case. We know tha’ Juries have often given verdicts which have bee: reversed, on an appeal to a higher tribu: this, when the verdict has been, as the trial by jury requires, unanimous. If unanimity in a de- cision is not in all cases a proof of its justice, a de- cimon made by a majority, with six such names as De Lancey, Ives, Doane, Kemper, Gadsden, and Whittingham, inthe minority, should be received with caution. Ic is trae, it appears, if the state- ments made be correct, that these sx Bishops voted afterwards for the sentence of suspension, which been pronounced against the Bishop ot New York; but this act, done probably to save him from a greater injustice in their opinion, de- mands from the public, on thetr account, a suspen- s10n of opinion until the whole of the proceedings are before the world. Who that readsin the pages of ecclesiastical bis Ors the action of similar tribu- nals in relation to Bishops, even deposed, and af. terwards restored Bishops whose names and vir- tues have come, down to our day as examples of purity and integrity, while the names of their con- demners have sunk into oblivion, or are remem: bered with abhorrence, does not think it possible that the recent trial may go down to posterity with ilar result? Such a wedi should make us pause. Let us give to Bishop Onderdonk that which the law ards to common felons—a e: did hearing. Jn their case there is, after a verdict, an opportunity for appeal to a superior tribunal, but judicially there is none in hi The tribunal of public opinion is the only appellate court now open to Bisnep Onderdonk. Let us then tag Se the Leathe at decide soocret.. lieving no more in the infallibity of a dozen Bish in that of the Bishop of Rome, I mean for my to exercise in this matter right of private Judgment in its fullest extent, as a good Prorestant.
