Smith was executed in this city at a quarter to eleven o'clock this morning, for the murder of Charles D. Sackett at Westfield on the 20th of last November. ‘The scenes and incidents which have occurred along the road to this fatal ending, the history and personnel 01 those who have been the leading ac- tors, and, above all, the mad infatuation and strange mental condition of the murderer before and since the crime, go to make up one of the most singular ofall the many strange tragedies of the present era of crime. Other murders have been more bloody and few less mysterious in their out- ward manifestations, but none have rivalled this im the singular combination of much that was serio-comic with more that was intensely tragic. First in the list of the leading actors to be considered is “the girl,” as Smith always called the object of Ais infatuation, and any notice of the crime and its expiation would be incomplete without a short eketch of her history and appearance. JENNIE BATES, ‘the cause of the Smith tragedy, so- prominently brought before the people of this city to-day, and upon whom not a few place the greater part of the responsibility tor Smith’s crime, 1s a dark-haired, dark-eyed brunette, about twenty-five years of age, but looking all of thirty, with coarse features. and a countenance which at times is ihe very per- sonification of ugliness; of moderate height, square-shouldered, and with an entire absence of those personal charms which one would naturally expect to find as the cause of Smith’s strange infatuation for her. That she was able to wield a Mysterious yet resistiess power, an inexplicable spell over him, which has lasted through his en- tire imprisonment and even to the final death @cene upon the scaffold, is undeniable; but the charms, if charms there are, which drew him on gre all hidden, concealed from the common eye. Smith himself admits that she is not handsome, but offers no explanation for the passion which bound him to her. Her reputation is none of the best, other girls being forbidden to play with her as far back as ten years ago, because she was “hard.” How much of trutn there may be in the stories told, certainly she has been hard on Smith in that having drawn him on to his ruin she has ‘ever since his arrest left nim to his fate. CHARLES D. SACKETT, the unfortunate victim of the tragedy, was a well- to-do citizen of Westfleld, who as a wholesale dealer in tobacco had accumulated considerable Property. Untharried, only forty years of age, it ‘would indeed have been strange if the $20,000 bait hhad not caught the eye of the shrewd Mrs. Bates, ‘who was only too ready to encourage his fancy fur Jennie, to lead her to throw off the old love for the new, though what he found there to enjoy is equally as mysterious as the hidden spell whicn held Smith bound in its chains. Of the principal of the strange characters in this strange tragedy, whose melancholy fate we record to-day, ere he has reached his second dozen of years, much might be said. His has, indeed, been @strange career. He was born at Baltimore in 1850, though the precise date of his birth neither he nor his mother, who was present and testified ‘at the trial, can state. He was the sixth or seventh of a family of fifteen children, eight of whgm— six brothers and two sisters—are now living. His father, who was a member of the Episcopal Church and an Odd Fellow, died when Smith was but ten years of age, and he was immediately bound out to a farmer on the Eastern shore, where hhe remained several years. He afterwards re- turned to Baltimore, became one of a gang of Toughs and lived A WILD, DISSOLUTE LIFE. One night, while under the influence of liquor, he became involved, with others, in a row, and it is supposed, and he has several times confessed, killeda man. Fleeing from Baltimore, he came morth, and we next find him at work for a farmer in Suffield, Conn., named Spencer, ‘with whom he remained for nearly a year, ‘While here the first good streak in his history de- veloped, and he suddenly became converted and ‘was baptized into the Saptist Church. How real this conversion was may fairly be questioned, in the light of subsequent events; but certain it is that while here he lived—outwardly, at least—a most exemplary life, attending church and Sunday School regularly, and often walking three or four milesin the snow or rain to hear preaching. In the Fall of 1869 he removed to Westfield and went to work jor a man named Whit- ney, a wholesale tobacco dealer, with whom he worked for a year, living for most of the time * most exemplary life, and removing meanwhile by letter his membership from the SufMieid to the We:tfield Baptish church. Some slight untrath. Tulness concerning the breaking of a carriage pole resulted in his leaving Mr. Whitney's employ and obtaining work trom the Boston and Albany Rail- Toad Company as switch man at the depot, THE BEGINNING OF THR END, And now began that fatal acquaintance which terminated to-day in his execution, A slight flirtation by handkerchief with the ‘14 Jennie, as he went by her }ouse occasionally for Bald tag oh by occa- sional conversations oyer 1! fence, speedily Tipeued into a closer intimacy, which, in his ‘opiuion as frequently stated by himself, made them “as good as man and wile.” The clandes- tine visits to her chamber at night, the story of her journey with him to New Haven, where he Paid a heavy doctor's bill to rid her troublesome burden; the promise of the procuring of a iicense purchase of @ wedding suit; the sudden breaking off of the engagement by the fickie girl to take up with her new favorite, the subsequent victim of the murder, and the insane oe self with remarrable coolness, with the exception of one slight attempt at the insanity dodge, by pre- tending to meditate sutcide, and which was 80 suc- cessful as to induce a few creaulous people to peti- tion for an investigation by a commission to test his sanity, and which resuited, as every sensible person at all acquainted with, the facts believed it would, in pronouncing him sane, THE DOOMED MAN IN HIS CELL. On Thursday evening @ HERALD reporter visited the doomed man in his cell at the jail, He was found in the third cell of the row alter entering the corridor, and it bore the number 25. The whole ap- pearance inside was the pink of neatness, and the tasty manner in which the few articles of tarniture allowed were made to accommodate themselves to the limited space, the selection of pictures on the walis, and the arrangement upon the table of sev- eral bouquets of beautiful flowers, sent in by kind Iriends, suggested the possession of finer qualities of mind than those which are usually associated with the coarse and brutal nature of a murderer. Upon @ stool near the grated door, and smoking a fine Havana, sat Smith, the doomed man, the last chance of commutation or reprieve vanished, and the hours of his life on this earth nearly numbered, Most striking, mdeed, was the scene presented. Apparently ae indifferent as to his fate, re- gardiess of his fast approaching end, quietly smok- ing his cigar, it seemed impossible that this could be the condemned murderer. Entering into con- versation he talked freely concerning "AST LL HIS P, FE, its varying fortunes, the circumstances leading to and cohnected with the murder and his approach- ing doom. Most of all, he liked to talk of the girl Jennie, to whom he still seemed devotedly at- tached, Bringing out her picture, he remarked, “I take @ deal of comfort from that picture; for many weeks | have not gone to bed without first placing it under my pillow,’ When broughtdirectly to the question of the murder he would. profess that it was all a blank to him, but when the subject Was indirectly introduced would talk freely upon it, relating all the circumstances with scrupulous accuracy. Of his approgching doom he seemed disinclined to talk, though avowing that he would die as he was born and had lived—with a smile on his face. Once, anc once only, when brought by a direct question to the subject of his approaching end, he showed SIGNS OF WEAKENING. The fingers of his left hand twitched nervously at his pantaloons, his right hand played excitedly with his mustache, while his lips trembled per- ceptibly. But the giving way was slight and only for @ moment. Speedy and without apparent effort his old careless look returned, yet with an entire absence of any braggadocio. and he was soon talking freely upon some other topic. He spoke, laughingly, of the accounts o! himseif which he had read in the daily papers, joked upon the mistakes they had made ana acfed much as though he expected to wake up Saturday and read the ac- count of his execution in the daily oe He ex- pressed himself as feeling no ill will towards*any one, and mentioned with fecling the kind treat- ment he had received from the Sheriff and turnkey of the jail. ONE OF HIS LAST LETTERS. The following is almost the last letter written by the condemned man, and is valuable as showing the grade of his inteilect and indicating the sane manner in which he eould write upon subjects con- nected with his crime and its punishinent :— Sprinerrep, June 16, 1873. Mr, Grorae H. Simpson, Westfield :— Frienp Grorge—Yours of the 4th came'to my hand. It found me as usual—lively, and in the best of spirits. I had begun to think you had forgotten me, but when I think the second tinie I know better, for there is not a boy that feels more afflicted than what you do. Ido not speak this to think it will be words of flattery. “Not 80; I speak them with truth, for more deal- ings with you than with any. y at the depot. You speak about Drake and Bliss, I have not seen elther of them, only at the trial What keeps them away I can’t imagine, but I suppose it? because they don’t care to come, I saw Charlle Parker last week. He is the same old wild fellow he always was, Iwas very glad to see him. It made me think of the past. When oe see any of the boys—James Parker especially—tell them to bring me some cigars, for I am nearly out. One 6f the editors ,of the ub lin can Rave me fifty elgars. | He has been inore than kind to me. He came here every day last week to see. me, and brought me ° things nearly every time. There’ was some ladies called here Saturday and lett some things, but would not let me see them or would not leave their names. 1 am sorry I did not see Combs before he went away; but the tactis we can’t have all we want. You asked me to write you let- |: ter with ink, bap itis @ hard job to do it, for my hand trembles with a.pen. I trust you will excuse bad writing and mistakes that,are made. You speak of a young that wants tS write. Tell her that I wold be glad to ive a Jetter and learn her name. It would give me pleasure to hear from her, and teil her to write soon, for L have only afew days to'live; there- fore she wiil have to write scon. George, let me know if.

Gxoxce—I am writing the history of and cause of the crime. It will be im print; but notin the paper, butin a book. HIS LAST NIGHT ON EARTH, Shortly after six o’clock the turnkey brought Smith his supper trom the Sherif’s table, irom which ne has been fed for the past week. The doomed man ate about the same amount as usual, and with Apparsns relish, and then, lighting a cigar, sat quietly upon a stool just inside his cell door and with his back towards the entrance ot the hall. About seven o’clock the door of his cell was opened, then the door into the outer hall, and, for the first time since his trial, the sentenced murderer stood outside of bolts and bars, He was taken by the turnkey to the Sheriffs own parior, and there found himself in the presence of Rev, Mr. Rice, Chaplain of the jail, and Rev. Messrs, Potter, of the State street Baptist church, and Stratton, of the Florence street Methodist church, With scarcely oy, ear, conversation the hymn, “Just As m,’? was given out, and all joined in the singing, Smith's voice sounding clear and firm above the rest. Rev. Mr. Rice then read a@ selection of Scripture, after which all kneeled while Messrs. Potter and Stratton offered prayer. All then shook hands with Smith and bade him goodby, and he, with a firm step and a smile upon his lips, walked back to his cell. Hardly had he resumed bis seat and his cigar be- fore another caller was announced, and the next hour and a half was spent in conversation with a- reporter, while an assistant took shorthand notes, Daring this time his manner was much as it has been since his conviction. He talked ireely and rationally, speaking somewhat rapidly as he got interested in his own talk, and—as always—getting alittle excited when speaking of “the girl,” A BENEVOLENT MURDERER, At length these departed, but only for a brief pe- riod was he left to himseif. Two or three persons made short visits, from interest or curiosity, and for all he hada smile, a shake of the hand and ® pleasant word, or, as he has repeatedly ex- pressed it, “using everybody who stops at my cell door like a genuleman.” Shortly after ten o'clock the Sheriff and histwife, who have been unremitting in their kind attentions, and towards whom he always expressed deep gratitude, made him a ood night call, and, in her case, a last visit. The interview was somewhat emotional, but the ex- hibition of feeling was on their side, and hia only trouble seemed to be that they felt so much worse about his near ¢xecution than he did himself, After their departure he cigar, which had been they were there, for’ the next, who soon came, This time it was areporter whom Smith had sent for, and to whom he wanted to make a last statement to the public of Springfield and Westfield. This was Jad; short, and simply a return of thanks for tne favors shown him since his conviction, and a declaration that he was PULLY PREPARED TO DI B, After it was finished and read to him he seemed to be much pleased, and said, with an earnest Yoice, “I am glad the public will know just how! feel.’ He then spoke Jeelingly of the kind treat- ment he had received at the jail, and said he wished he might thank the donors of the flowers which adorned his cell, some of whom had not even told him their names. His caller then arose to go, and Smith, shaking him cordially by the hand, said, “Weil, Isuppose I shan’t see you spats alive. Goodby.” ‘This was his last caller for the night, and at beta twelve o’clock, remark- ing to the turnkey that he was sleepy, he read a portion of Scripture, placed the picture of the girl In its accustomed Praag under his pillow, offered a brief prayer, laid down and was soon sound asleep, while the turnkey and ® watchman kept sil watch outside, ARRANGEMENTS POR THE EXECUTION. The making of the arrangements tor the execu- tion has been the occasion of no small amount of sport at the expense of the very worthy Sherif, ‘The present is the first case of hanging in his ex- perience, and his ignorance of such matters and desire have ic fe off all right, added to a naturally nervons, fidgety temperament, caused an ag | mixture in the preliminary undertak- ings. First and foremost among the ques tions to be settled was that of procur- ing & gallows, and og a sleepless night did the good Sheriff lose before it was set- tled, Upon unearthing the one used ten years ago 1d the hanging of Desmarteag, it was found to be rotten and useless, The preper-man to cen- struct a new one, thought the Sheriff, is the per Son who made the last one, and to him the worthy Sheriff went. But the carpenter who built that one has since grown old, his memory faileth, and he must needs have a model to go by A search of the archives of the jatl followed, but no model was there; a messenger is sent to Pittsfield, but no mode! is there ‘Oh, what shall I do for a gallows?” cried the Sheri, and another night’s slumber was lost. A messenger was then sent to Boston to borrow, if possible, that one on which McElhaney was ro cently hung, but that “wasn’t to let.” Finally, the aforesaid et nter is encouraged to undertake the job, but, then, the vexing question arises, shall it_be the modern style, so common in New York, which jerks the victim up into eternity, the old style, which, by a trap, lets him down into ? iter another ae nignt the troubled Sheriff decides to abide e ‘8 of the fathers and drop the condemned atrap. The decision was made none too advertisements! passed by the gallows, which had been erected an our before, but the sight of it produced no im- pression on Smith, He was dressed in black dress coat, black vest, lavender colored pants and cheviot shirt, the same suit which he purchased for his anticipated marriage with Jenny Bates. Passing along he selected a small bunch of roses and green from some flowers and gave it to the wife of Sherif Bradley, with a request that it be sent to Jennie Bates, He next visited the workshop, shaking hands with prisoners; but, while many of them were affected to tears, there was not the slightest emotion or trepidation in the appearance of the murderer, Aboat nali-past nine Smith was taken to the pri- vate parior of the jail, where @ short service was held, Smith praying for himself and friends. At the conclusion of the service he began preparations for his execution, ‘SHE SCENE OUTSIDE at this time was exciting. Although tickets for only poout one hundred and twenty-five had been issued fully 1,000 people had assembled 1n front of the jail, Business men, reporters, clergymen, rough, all mingled together, while on the outer edge was a lair sprinkling of ladies. One man, with no ticket or chance of getting one, came all the way from Northampton just to stand out- side the jail. The entire city police force, with that of Chicopee and Holyoke. were in attendance at the appointed hour, At ten o'clock the gates were thrown open, ia those who had tickets admitted and passe to the corridor, out of which Smith's cell led and in which the gallows was erected, In front of the scaffold was a long table, on the centre of which was a beautiful dish of flowers, in which nestled a card photograph of the girl, Jennie Bates; four Bibles (ornamented corners) and Prayer Book lay in the centre, At twenty minutes past ten o’clock Smith was led in and took Is seat in rear of the above mentioned table and facing the scal- fold, His face still wore THE SMILE HE HAD PROMISED TO KEEP, and he was by far the most cheerful looking person in the jail. Back of him were officers of the city government and spectators, except reporters, who, to the number of fiiteen or twenty. occupied the upper corridor, A short service followed, led by the chaplain, and consisted of reading Scrip- tures and singing the hymn, ‘Jesus, lover of m, soul” by a male quartet, and prayer, in which Smit! joined. During the singing Smith stood, and just @ tinge ofred overspread his iace, showing emo- tion, but unaccompanied by any trepidation or ap- pearance of fear, The Sbherifls then approached to pinion his hands and jeet. Smith assisted them, alter which, accompanied by the Sheritf, he walked firmly up the stairs and took his seat in the chair upon the trap. ‘The Sheriff then read THE DEATH WARRANT, and now, for the first time, Smith showed signs of giving way. His face was flushed and his right ieg, which he had crossed over the left, moved uneasily back and forth, The smile too was gone from his face and his breath came and went a trifle faster. Will he break down? was the whisper from a score of lips, As though he surmised their thougnts and overheard their whispers, Smith gave the answer himself by at once composing himself and resuming again his eran | appear- ance as the Sheriff ceased his reading. In answer to the question if he had anything to say, Smith arose, and, stepping forward upon the trap, pro- ceeded to muke A RAMBLING SPEECH of ten minutes’ duration, in which he affirmed as facts all he had ever stated regarding his intimacy with the girl Jennie Bates, that those statements were true, and also that relating to the alleged abortion procured in New Haven, He again affirmed that he bore no malice towards any one, and was not alraid to die, and concluded by pointing to a motto which had been placed over the scaffold, namely, “May I meet you allin heaven, Albert H. Smith," and saying, “Farewell to you all. I trust you will all meet me in heaven, where Iam prepared togo. Fare- well! farewell!” His legs were then bound, the murderer exclaim- ing as the officer moved his limbs a little, “Don’t; you make me tremble.’’ Meanwhile he had whis- ered to Sheriff Randall 1o take that envelope ‘om his pocket—motioning with his head towards his breast and adding, ‘I wart to see Jennie before I die.” The officer took the envelope from Smith’s preast pocket and drew from it the icture of Jennie Bates, which he handed to Smith. ‘he latter, raising witn diMculty his pintoned hands to his face, kissed 1t passionately, and then said to the Sherif, ‘Put it back again; I want it buried with me.”’ The rope was then adjusted and the black cep drawn over his smiling tace. Forever trhe to lis word his last look was with asuile, while he pleasantly remarked as the Sheriff ad- justed the not, “1 GUl“S YOU'VE FIXED IT ABOUT RIGHT.”? The next ute, at precisely sixteen minutes to eleven, Sherif Bradley placed his foot upon the | spring, the body descended with a dull thud, and Albert H, Smith was dead. There was not. the slightest movement of body, and he died without astroggle. The ae examination immediate) followed, the time of the pulse being noted eac' minute and varying from fifty-four to 136 beats per minute. In just sixteen minutes the pulse and heart ceased to beat, and he was pronounced by the physicians to be dead. The body was then cut down and the cap removed, when the face was found to wear the same calm, peaceful expression it had when the cap was drawn over it. The body was then delivered to his brother, placed ina coflin, and immeaiately despatched to Baltimore, where it will arrive to-morrow and be buried, THE HERALD VIENNA EXPOSITION VICTORY SSE HONS 4 German Tribute to the Triumphs of the Herald. (From the Vossische Zeitung and copied in the Hamburger Nachrichten.) To our communication regarding the flattering invitation extended to Louise Muhibach by the proprietor of the New York HeraLp we may add that a similar call was made upon Berthold Auer- bach. The latter, by reason of ill-health, preferred not to go to Vienna, but wrote from the silent valley of the Black Forvst his “May Salutation” to the German-Americans. The HERALD sent, more- over, to Vienna two of its ablest correspondents, John Russell Young, an American, and Edmund Yates, an Englishman, as well as an editor espe- cially versed in telegrapny (Mr. George Sauer), and with these combined forces the HERALD suc- ceeded in surprising the metropolis of America, on the morning of May 2, with ten mighty columns of cable despatches about the opening celebration ofthe Universal Exposition, Ifone wonders that this tremendous work had to be accomplished in a few hours and that the most skilful telegraph the ator seldom masters more than twenty-five despatches (of twenty words each) in an hour, then the great energy displayed in this case must call: forth astonishment and admiration. Such an achievement would, however, have been impossi- ble without special preparations and without the good will of the telegraph management in particu- lar. As in parliamentary practice the opposition often gains a victory by talking against time, so in the present case it was of paramount importance to hold the wires when once obtained and to pre- vent others from breaking in at intervals, It has happened to the HERALD repeatedly dur- ing the American civil war that its correspond- ents, in order to gain uninterrupted possession of the wires, telegraphed chapters of the Bible in the midst of their reports of battles, solely for the pur- pose of gaining time to write out the despatches proper. In the present instance each of the col- umns above mentioned contains about nine hundred and fifty words. The HERALD expended therefore on that day avout twenty-two thousand dollars for the transit of 9,500 words over the Conti- nent and by cable. Adding to this the ex- pense and remuneration of the correspondents, the Vienna Exposition must have cost tue HERALD about forty thousand dollars. No one need however fear that the proprietor lost anything by this transaction. Monster pla- cards proclaimed on that Fri morning triumph of the HERALD. ‘verywhere could be read in fe _lette: “ Wien Weltausstelung—Special Depeachen—Deutschiand’s beliebteste Schriftsteler, Auerbach und Mihlbach,”’ &c, &c., and a tremendous sensation was created in German circles (New York city alone nuthbering 300,000 Germans), when the great American organ appeared partly in German print. Loud hurrabs resounded, crowas pressed around the venders. Migh premiums were Pye and in- stead of the usual dally edition of 120,000, by the evening of that day 235,000 copies were bought up, while the great cylinder pres: busily Kept up printing an additional number for the pros postive large demand in the great West, for What German in the United States would not buy one or more copies to send them to friends and relatives if Fatherland’ On the sale of the paper, the price of which is oniy four cents, of course no profit could be made. But what will be the increase in consequence of this coup d’éclat in the number of subscribers, and espectally in the Ina short time the HERALD will undoubtedly count up instead of the present sey- enty columns, about one hundred columns of ad- vi ents.

NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1873—TRIPLE SANDWICH ISLANDS. Peace on the Pearl River Banks and in the Metropolis—The Question of Trade Reciprocity with the United States or Annexation to the Union—Plantation Interests and the Sapply ot Labor— Coolies, Sugar and Commerce—General Schofleld’s Opinion. HONOLULU, June 7, 1873, All is quiet on Pear} River, and the same may be said of this metropolis of the Pacific. The past month has been one of unusual quiet, the only break that has jarred the nerves of our citizens being the arrival of the month’s mail steamer and the consequent necessity of loading her with su- @ars and answering the duns of our foreign cred- ivors, By the quantity of matter in American papers in relation to these istands one would think that We were of some importance in a bustling, busy world; but to a person on the spot, just where our importance is may be difficult to say. Letters pub- lished in America have disturbed the quiet of some of our strongest supporters of a treaty of reci- Procity with the United States, while the annexa- tionists, a “baker’s dozen,” are somewhat frantic, To have it said that our soil is poor and that we cannot raise wheat, oats, barley, silk or coffee, is 80 near the truth that we wince quite perceptibly. That we do not raise the articles named is not, however, altogether the !ault of the soil, but rather for the Jack of thrifty, enterprising smail farmers. We have on the eight islands comprising this group about one hundred thousand acres of as fine land as. the sun_ shines on, but it is held in large pieces by men who only believe in sugar, and who hold a most sublime contempt for any agricultural enterprise that does not comprehend in its plan from a thousand to ten thousand acres and a roll call of from one to three hundred coolies or contract laborers, We have raised wheat, corn, coffee, oranges, sweet pota- toes, silk, cotton, tobacco and numerous other articles, including sugar; but any prolonged effort, in either article, hot excepting sugar, has always roved & failure. Individuals may have, in a few Instances, ade money, but as a community we have only made losses, To-day we depend upon California and Oregon and Washington Territory for all the four and cereals we use, unless it may be @ little corn, Potatoes, onions, beets and turnips we import. In fact, any one who will take up the list of our importations will only wonder what We are doing tor ourselves. WHAT WOULD RESULT. ‘ A reciprocity treaty with America 1s thought to be the only measure that promises relief in our present straits, Such a treaty would undoubtedly Make sugar growing very profitable until the duties on sugar were removed trom the United States tariff, when we should again be thrown back. In the meantime, however, the Lands of our sugar men would be strengthened, Lands would be held in even iarger parceis, and a labor system that is a disgrace to the age would receive the support and sympathy ofevery man that could make a dollar out Of a plantation, As & result of our iabor sys- tem we find our society to-day consisting of the sugar planter and his factors und the contract la- borer. The class of ea / tradesmen and me- chanics that the whaling fleet used to support is dwindling away every month by every packet that leaves for the Western coast of America, Much surprise is expressed here that General Schofield should have written to General Sherman, as the newspapers report, that the people of tuese islands were very desirous tor annexation. It will take time to prepare the native mind jor such a change. WHAT THE KING THINKS OF THE RECIPROCITY PROJECT. At an entertainment given on board the United States ship Portsmouth King Lunaliio said, in an after-supper speech, that he “favored the idea of a treaty of reciprocity with the United States and the cession 01 Pearl River harbor.” Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain Greets the Sovercign of the sandwich Istands. The Honolulu journals of the 7th of June supply the foliowing record of official grectings between Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and King Lunalilo, of the Sandwich Isiands:— THE BRITISH QUEEN TO THE HAWAIIAN RULER. On Thursday, the 29th of May, at twelve o'clock M., the King gave a special audience to Her Britannic Majesty’s Acting Commissioner and Consul General, to place in His Majesty’s hands a sealed letter from Her Majesty Queen Victoria. Mr. Davies arrived at the palace at the hour ap- pointed, and delivered to the King the letter from Her Britannic Majesty, of which the following is a copy :— Vicrorta, by the grace of God, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Fatth, &¢., &c., &c., to His Majesty Lu- NALILO, King of the Hawaiian Islands, onr good friend, sendeth greeting :— By tne letter which Your Majesty addressed to us on the 14th of January last we have been made ac- quainted with the death, on the 11th of December last, of your royal cousin and predecessor, King Kamehameha the Filth, and your accession to the throne. We request you to aceept our condolence on the death of your predecessor, while, at the same ume, we offer to you our sincere congratulations on your accession, and our best wishes Jor the Jong continuance and prosperity of your reign. And so we recommend you to the protection of the Almighty. Given at our Court at Windsor Castle, the fourth Gay of April, in the year of our Lord 1873, and in the tuirty-sixth of our peer Your good friend, CTORLA, R, Countersigned—GRaNVILLE. ‘ On presenting the letter the Acting Commissioner addressed His Majesty as follews:— Stre—I am deeply sensible of tne honor con- ferred upon me by my being permitted to approach the throne of Your Majesty as bearer of the royal letter committed to my care by the Noes my sov- ereign. The iriendly relations happily so long ex- isting between the government of Her Britannic Majesty and that of Your Majesty’s predecessors have been repeatedly manifested, andI doubt not the accession of Your Majesty to the Hawaiian threne will tend to a further confirmation of the friendship between both governments and nations, With proiound respect I present to Your Majesty the letter of tne Queen. Permit me also to em- brace this opportunity of exprvssing the sincere friendship of iy countrymen fer the Hawalian na- tion, where 80 many of us have found a welcome and a home. ROYAL REPLY, To which His Majesty replied ;— Mr. Davies—The kind letter irom Her Majesty Queen Victoria, of which you were the honored bearer, is very gratifying to me, coming, as it does, from a sovereign universally beloved, and who has always peen, asitrust ever will be, numbered among the best friends ot my royal predecessors and of the Hawaiian nation. To perpetuate the friendly relations to which you so properly refer will be the constant aim of mysell and my govern- ment. Permit me, Mr. Commissioner, through you to thank Her Majesty for her kind congratula- tions upon my accession to the throne of this king- dom, and to express the wish that her reign, already illustrious, may, with God’s blessing, be greatly prolonged in health ana happiness, Your countrymen have ever been welcome to these shores, and have, by their intelligence and enterprise, as well as by their friendly regard for my people, contributed largely to the general im- provement and prosperity here. Nautical Entertainment to the King of the Sandwich Is! ds—Pleasing Scene on Board the War Ship Portsmouth. (From the Honolulu Advertiser, June 7.) The “hop” on board the United States ship Portsmouth, on Thursday evening, the 5th instant, Was a pleasure-giving festivity which must ever be agreeably remembered by the gallant hosts and the gratified guests. The nautical skill and taste usuaily exercised on board a man-of-war in an ar- tistic arrangement of national bunting tor festive occasions was never shown to greater advantage in this port than at this time, on board this galiant, historic old ship, to do honor to the King and the society of Honolulu. His Majesty, who arrived early and remained till about midnight, evidently enjoyed the evening very much, owing to the assiduous and courteous attention of Captain Skerrett and his oficers. There were present His Excellency Mr, Peirce, the American Minister Resident; M. Ballieu, the Tecently arrived Commissioner of France,’ and Mme. Ballieu; M. Le Monnyer, the retiring Com missioner; Mr. Davies, Her Britannic Mujesty’s Acting Commissioner, and Mrs, Davies; Judges Hartwell and Widemann, of the Supreme Court; Governor Dominis and Mrs. Dominis, Mr, Christie, the Acting American Consul; Mr. Schaefer, Consul of Italy; Mr. Bartow, Consul of Chile; Captain Lefevre and officers of the French war vessel Vau- drenil, His Majesty’s afds and a large company of ladies and gentiemen, A BALL GROUND FOR THE BOYS, The Working Boys’ Protective Association met —— SHEET.

H. Janes, Assistant Sanitary Superinten- dent, furnished the subjoined report on the condi- tion of the surroundings of Washington Market :~— DR. JANES’ REPORT. ‘These premises consist of @ number of booths standing in the vicinity of Washington Market—on Vesey street, from 71 to thé corner of Washington street; also in tront of #4 Vesey street, and on Weststreet, in front of Nos 127, 128, 130, 180 and 140. ‘These booths extend from the curb stone to @ distance va) towards the middle of occupied a8 market places for the sale of meats, fish, Yegeiables and, fruits. | Thus sttuated they encroach largely upon ublic thoroughfares, and not on! re- sent serious obstructions to the public use of the streets and anti a and sidewalks, but their presence is, in my opinion, detrimental to health, trom the ‘fact ‘that the pavement and gutters’ underneath joors are constantly filthy with organic matte: a state io. of decomposition, presenting obstructions to the flow of water along the gutters and causing the collection of filthy water in pools, where it remains until it be- comes stagnant and offensive and generates noxions and Dotsonous gases. These guiters cannot be cleaned with- out first removing the floors ot the booths, which is seldom done, and consequently the filth is allowed to remain there and nerate its poison from week to week, endangering, especially during the hot weather of Sumber, the public health and comfort. The strue- tures themselves are old id many of them saturated with fllth, the sides facing the middle of the street having the appearance of being used as public urinals, while the pavements adjoining are the receptacle fur lth of every description, portions of which, lodging. in the angles formed by the pavements’ and sides of the structures, are not removed by the street sweepers, but ‘are allowed to remain and exercise their futi influence in generating disease. As these booths occupy & large portion of the carriageway in the et: ive streets, and therefore obstruct to business and trave present to the regular and cleaning of streets mat ters, and are therefore det ntal fue pantie nealth, would respectiully recommend tiat the Department of Public Works be requested to remove them withoutdelay.

Lona Branca, June 27, 1873. Long Branch yesterday showed all the life and activity of a full blown watering place with a sea son wellon, The hotels had their bands out, add- ing the distinction of music to the general gayety, and handsome equipages dashed along the drive in an almost continuous line. General Grant, accompanied by Senater Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey, drove his young team of dapple bays in an open buggy; Nellie reclined in her canopied basket behind, hand- some bay; Edwin Adams appeared driving his “sorrel Joc’ in an open box wagon—sald to be the fastest nag on the coast; Maggie Mitchell and the Paddock family took their pleasure in an elegant carriage behind a sorrel team; Judge Car- dozo took his place in the line with a new team o} dappled bays; Mrs. Hoey, who has not brought. her fastest stock to the Branch as yet, contented her- selfand family with a bay team in a “depot” wagon; “Count” Abacassis appeared in his high back Eng- lish carriage drawn by his two bays; ‘Joe? Cooper, of tie Metropolitan, who holds the dignity of Mayor of Long Branch, handles the ribbons over a handsome pair of bays; Sam Spencer liows behind his slashing sorrel pacer, and Lewid . Brown, of New York, is seen with his famoug Black Diamond; while Miss Chamberiain, at pres ent the solitary lady equestrian at the Branch, may be seen most any cool afternoon cutting a rapid pace among the slower carriages. Thet form a gay assemblage, brilliant as the Mall ol Central Park in stylish turnouts, and almost ag biivoed fa with bright colors and smiling faces ag Rotten Row. THE SEASON fe may be said to have fully set in. The landlords are looking bright as dollars, and the eottages have nearly all takea on those purely Summer embel- lishments—tair faces at the windows and merry croquet players on the lawns. THE NEW JERSEY SOUTHERN RAILROAD has put on stilla newer time table, and one may now pave New York asearly as seven o’clock iD the nforning, reaching Long Branch by hall-past eight, and return as late as haif-past six in the afternoon, arriving home in New York by eight.

Some ten days ago a party of wolfers, who had been out in the Whoop-up country during the entire past Winter, encamped on the Tenton, near Benton, expecting to reach that place next day with their paces of pelts, penne the night, however, some indians stole their horses and were far out of reach when morning came. The men came to Benton, procured pig ae ae ammunition, &c., and tea of them left in pursui of the thieving Indians, vowing, as they pode that they would recover their property even they had to go to the Saskatchewan ior it. Ear man was armed with a Henry rife and two large revolvers, was well mounted, and five pack animals were taken along with the party. The trail was soon found, and the pursuers pushed for- ward night and day, with but short rests, until they arrived at a small trading it at Cypress Mountain, 200 miles within tne it! ers. Here they found encamped forty lodge of North Assinaboimes, who met the whites with bows strung and guns cocked, saying that ghey knew the whites were after a fight with the In 8 Who had stolen their horses; that the Crees had stolen them and only left their camp the day before; but that the Crees were the Assinaboines’ ‘friends, and that the pane might have what fight they desired right ere, The whites took shelter within the trading post, which contained half a dozen white traders. B; these they were also told that the stolen horses passed the day previous, t the Assinaboines were aiding the Crees, and had fired several shots Into the post. It was determined to attack this encampment of Assinaboines, and to do it on the Indian plan. Accordingly, at the first break of day the next morning, the sixteen or seventeen whites attacked and effectually wiped out the forty lodges, very few ap | only one white man was killed, and he was shot through the heart by a wounded Indian whom he pursued into vhe brush. The name ot the man killed is Ed- ward Grace, a man well known by the people of Helena and Prickly Pear valleys, and in many other ne of Montaua. The remains of Grace were juried in the rear room of the post, and tue build- ing, after removing the contents, was burned to und, Two of the men loaded two wagons with robes and furs, and started for Benton, while the others: Started north on the trail of the Crees, The two Men reached Benton on Saturday last, from whose gtatements these particulars were aned.
