On Friday, December 2Kth, a severe gale ewept over the several islands of the Hawaii group. At Maui the kona blew down twenty houses; at Wathee, twenty-five houses were destroyed. The trees had been stripped en- tirely of th foliege. The sugar cane fields were much injured. In Kula avd Hamakua seven or eight schools houses—several of them large and valuable—were destroyed. At Maka- wao the meeting house was destroyed. So severe 4 kona bad not been known for many years. The natives of Oahu are advancing in civiliza- tion rapidly. Un the 1th of December a complimentary ball was given to A. Ten Eyck, Esq., United States Commiesioner, by the foreign residents of Hono- julu. A general thankegiving was observed through- out the kingdom on the last day of the year. The Polynesian newspaper, of January 19th, charges Mr Ten Eyck with doing acts inconsi» tent with his position as an accredited agent of the government of the United States. It charges him with making a speech at the festival given to him, that exhibited his in- capacity to fill the place and trust he held. It then proceeds to charge him with haviag giv’ his profreeional services against the goveroment in avor of Ladd & Co., and that this unfitted him ‘or attending properly to his official duties.

The censure pubdlirhed in November seems to in- dicate the speedy destruction of the native popula- tion. It appears that out of a total population of 80,641 souls, there was an excess of deaths over births of 6,466 souls, which gtvesa rate of jnor- tality exceeding eight per cent peraanum. At this rate of annual decrease, the whole Hawaiian po- pulation, un 1860, would dwindle down to 32.224; in the year 1870, 1t would be reduced to 14,073; in 1860. to 6,184; in 1890, to 2,067; in 1900, to 1,162; in 1910, to 494; in 1920, to 207; in 1930, to 92; in 1940, to 87; and in the year 1960, to 20, DIED, In Honolula, December 25, Wittiam H Panauvast, of Conestota NY.

Our Isthmus Correspondence. Panama, N. G., March 24, 1850. Arrival of the British Steamer— Important from Ecwador—The Effect of the Late Emeute in Panama. The British steamer has just cast anchor—8 A. M.—and this mement my messenger leaves tor Chagres, te overtake the Empire City. The news by the British steamer will not be in town for ten hours yet. This 1s unfortunate, since the report, or rather the satelligence of a revoluvon at Guay- aquil has beeu here come days. The result is looked for wath interest wad impatience. A very curious move is on foot here, among the natives. The present acting governor, Diez, du- ring the recent troubles with the Americans, pursued, on all occasions, a pacific course, and, 6 presumed b y, he has ehown symptoms ot vascillation and a great want of de- cist character. This seemsto be the fault with regard to the opinions of the higher class, while the lower order censure the conciliating po- hey of his administration, and aver that he ought to fight, giving them an opportunity to display their patrione ardor. c The natives are deeply incensed against the Americans, nor do they take much precaution how to show their il-feeling when a chance offers— their hatred of a people who will trample upon their laws. Arrival of the Tennessee. (From the Panawe Star, March 14.) The steamebip Tennessee, Capt. Cole, arrived at oe pert on Tueetey morning lust, 94 Saye from w Y ed a severe gale Nese rictie by which some cl her machinery was deranged, in consequence of which she was de- twined four or five gre, ys in the Straits, She stopped sixteen days at Rio Janeiro, and ten at Valparaiso. _Aashe wi ving the lutter port, the steamship Sarah Sands was coming in; 80 we may confidently look for that vessel at this port in alew days. The Tenneesee brings no news as to the whereabouts of the Isthmus. Tne First Biood, ‘The time we have tong dread@d at length has come! Last night, about 10° oclock, when a young American, named Thomas Fin- nigan, was quietly entering the house which he occupied, together with a number of his friends on the plaza Senta Anna, he was assaulted by about fifty armed Spaniards and natives, who ret shot bim with # musket 10 the shoulder, where the ball lodged, then, as hie fell, showered up- on him misee erations. He would undoubtedly have been been killed, had not the approach of a few Amereans frghtened the cowardly assassins from their bloody intent. A number of other Americans were seriously injured last night, by biows from clubs and stones, given by wretches who way-laid them in the dark at different ee. Large gangs ot theee infernal miscreants paraded the street#and squares of the suburbs during the wight, breathing hatred and defiance to the Ameri- can people. We do not profess to know whether thie outrage was instigated by the priests, or by the government; but it vas certainly a regularly organized and preconcerted affair, and we hardly think the patives would have dared to coinmence hostilities without the assurance of assistance from some efficrent quarter. We have not yet seen the end of it If something is not done promptly vigorously by the Americans for ther prot pn we are fearful thet the murderous ecenes of St. Domingo will be acted over again on Ponama. Our people will either be driven into the sea.

W. Torrence, of Texas, and James Parker, formerly ot New York, but late from Sew Orleans, whieh will probably result in the death of the latter. The facts, es we learn them from those who witnessed the affray, are as follows: The parties met io front ot the Orleans Saloon, and in the course of a dispute which al- most immediately took place between them, the he war given and blows interchanged.
