The srow fell very dee dusing the season, but the inhabitants were we! provided with houses, and had plenty of to lest them till the new crop was mature At the time our informant left, the wheat fields were nearly ready for harvest, and bid fair to yield enough for thrice the population. Groceries and goods of all kinds were extremely sx and would fetch almost any rate in cash, which latier was very abundant. 3 They have had some trouble with the Indians thie spring, in a few of the outer settlements, but the U. S. troops in the valley were about to chas- tee them in such a manner as will likely secure good behavior in future. The watercourses in the great basin have been higher this summer than for years past, which is one of the causes of so much suflering in the Humboldt valley. The flood covers all tke old travelled road On the level banks, and has com- pelled the trains to pass over broken and barren undulations, where no feed could be found. Al though this high stage of woter has been very un- forrupate for the early immigration, yet it relieves us of much anxiety concerang the belated trains; ar, when the water falls, the grass will be fresh and abundant, perhaps, during the most pert of the men'h of October, which will enable them to reach the Carson valley, and receive assistance over the mountains he woter being low early last eummer, the first trains swept it off, and those whe come late found no feed at ell; bat, this fall, i! promises to be reserved by the causes stated, and will be of the grentest consequence. Geld ia the Carson valley was not turaing out very profitable, snd many who bad gone there were leturuing to the diggings on the Western side of the Sierra. lt seems to be conceded that, if help to meet the rear trains of the immigration, great fatality must undoubtedly ensue.

Steom navigation has already benefitted us here at these Islands, although not a gle steamer from the coast has yet entered our beautiful harbor. We now have our reguiar letters and papers, brought through with a regulary on which we cen depend. On the evening of the ISch ult. we were Tavorea with the Herald and other New York pepers of the 2%th April, brought through in fil'y dnys, and the passages from New York during the six months have ranged from fifty to fifty-six daye. T oii, in this sheet, give you some ideas of the heads of this government, & ¢., the men who stand at the helm of state. You are aware that we live | Wile, and business, and he now sleeps in under « kingdom, and that the present sovereiga is the third of the Kamehamahas. He is a pure- blooded i id the last of the family of Kemehameha |, the Conqueror; at least he is the last aspirant to the throne, and havin, childrea, is, Seen: obliged to chooee successor from emong the few chiefs who remain after the raveges of disease during the past few years. His Majesty is a men of good education—that is for « native, ond seems to take some interest ia imatiers of stete. He was tormerly much addicted to drinking, but for several years past, through the influence of the missionaries, has been «sober man. Now, again, he is getting into the old track, tad resumes his relish for the best of brandies and wines. He receives an income of $12,000 per an- bum, besides the rents aceruing from his estates, which emount, probably, to 825,000 more. His government is*earried on almost wholly by foreigaers, all the departments, suve one, being filled byt . Of these [rnc ag the most iatla- entiol wih the king and chiefs is Mr. G. P. Jadd, with whom you have already had an opportuuity of becoming personally acquainted. He isa maa of good education, well read, has a sound ment, vod whet is of more consequence, has that pecu- her cautious oer, so requisite in one occupying the poet he dees. He is Mmister of Finance, and, i ire bubly the fittest man for that post in the king- om. Next in ii ance and influence is the office of Foreign Afisirs, filled by Mr. R. C. Wyllie, a Scotchman by birth, who has all the peculiarities of an Ayreshireman. He was formerly a wealthy merehant, whom a roaving inclination indaced to leave England, and heving travelled through many of the Batieh Colonul setiements, visited there Islands in 1844, in company with the British Coneul General for the Pacihe. Evineing great interest in the welfare of the Hawaiian people, he very soon came into favor with the bon Le chiefs, and was soon eppointed to the which he now fills. Mr. W. ie a clever-bearted, sociable, gentleman, a litte short of fifty; fond of fine horses, and fine dinners. In the post he occupies he gives satisfaction to all, end seems to labor fardeousl » and yet disinterest- ediy, for, it sheuid be added to his credit, that he has served this government five years, refasing any tion for bie services. inister ot the laterior is Mr. John Young, ed; his father wes an Haglishman, his chicfeas, through whom he ioherits hi te.

With the advanteges of a university edu- | cation, he would have been vastly superior and more valuable to his people he half-castes d, in miellect, just about midwey between the whites end native Haweiians. ‘The fow th and last office, is that of Pablie In- struction, filled by Rev.

That it will give anew impulee to the sule of land we can scarcely doubt ; and in this respect, if unattended with disturbing collisions, i's operations will be beneficial. With a decreasing population, and large tracts of fend lying year after year uncultivated, some =< stimulant to their disposal and cultivation was ab- solutely demanded. To keep pace with the in- creased demand for our luctions, a greatly ia- creased export 18 necessiry, in order to compete with contiguous countries, and to make the most of our tavorable proeen! ition. Will this new measure tend to this result? or will it it by throwing the lands into the hands of mere speculators, who will neither cultivate them them- selves, or allow others to do so, without a rwnous bonus? These are questions which time alone can auswer. But as the aw has passed, we'shall anxious- a wetch its opera’ und most sincerely hope that what fears we have on the subject may prove unfounded, and that the objections, on the part of a large proportion of the people, will turn out to be imaginary. THE HAWAIIAN LEGISLATURE. The cession of the Hawaiian Legislature is fast approaching its close, and will probably adjourn during the coming week. A large number of acts have been passed, the most voluminous and im- portant of which are the Penal Code, now in pro- cess of publication in our columns, and 4 law em- powering aliens to hold lend in fee simple. These enactments will be published as soon as possible, when the pubhe will know the time of their going into operation. THEATRICAL. MATTERS. poe the Honolulu Times, June 26 Mr. Maseett’s concert came off on Lopes evening before a full house. The audience, to all appearance, were pleased with the entertainment. ‘aking a stroll yesterday, we dropped iu at the Hawaiian theatre, which is now undergoing va- rious alterations, and it was agreeable to netice the mepy improvements that are now g on im the way of new and beauntul scenery, rations, en- largement of the stage, ventillators, etc. We un- derstand the excellent play of * Love’s Sacrifice” is in preparation, and will be brought out on the re- opening of the house, with new and splendid dresses, and that several amateurs wil that occasion.

Leva! yer | to idberd wi verend gentleman A to state that the regulation on board of the rita and North American royal mail steamships is that the E, service shill be read every Sabbath in the saloon, at which all the crew not on duty, and those ef the passeng re who teel disposed,to at- tend. No other »ubbe services are allowed on board, as there are a0 picers in which they could be held, exceptin the saloon or the geatlemea’s aft or. cabins. It must be remembered that there are many pas- sengers on board of a steamer who are neither American or van h, and whodo not profess the Protestant religion, or ulead any Protestent form of worship. These passeugers are expected to give up the use of the saloon for the performance of ser vice once every Sunday, and | have sever heard one of them complain at domg so. But _when—as was the case formerly—three or four diiterent ser- V ices were held w the forward cabia by the miais- ters of different denominations, who happened to be on board, they then tude formal complaints, that when they were sick, und in bad weather, could not go on deck, that such ause should be made of the cabin, in many iustauces, by the few to the annoyance of the mauy. [t was for this Tea- son that the Company, recugaiziag the rights of Unece paseengers, isevéd the order now in force. J never heard of the couversation sid to have taken place between Mr. Cunard and Mr. Beecher, until I saw it in your paper, wad [con say nothing with reference to it further than it sounds very unlike Mr. Cunard, who, as all who Kuow him are aware, is notin the habit of sweariug or using pro- fane language; and | um the less weiined to be- lieve Mr. Beecher’s version of it, as he asseris, or insinuates, that Capt. Judkins was Gecapied in playing cards till late on Saturday evening. Len- close you Cept. Judkin’s letter to me, deaying this charge. It clearly convicts Mr. Beecner of au un- truth. Ihave to request that you will publish it with this letter. J regret that a minister of the gospel should have exposed himeelf to such @ charge; and [ regeet that a professor of religion should evince such a spirit, and desire, as Mr. Beecher has, to sow discord, instead of peace, between the people ot two faions engaged in an honorable and friendly rivalry.
