THE FRIEND.
HONOLULU, KEPTKMHEK M, l« r»7.
Honolulu Sailors' Home.

Through the artistic skill of Mr. Stangenwald, photographist, of Honolulu, and Mr.
Howland, wood engraver, of New York, we
present our readers with a most admirable
view of the " Home." A comparison of the
engraving with the original, abundantly shows
artists, in their respective departts, need no commendation from us to
make known their ability. We hope seamen
will thereby be attracted to make trial of the
establishment when discharged from their
ships, or ashore on liberty. Since the last
season, the house has been thoroughly refitted and improved. The sleeping apartments
have been well ventilated, and a large baggage-room built. More than a thousand dollars has been expended in rendering the
establishment more complete. Sleeping accommodations have been increased one-half.
A large Library has been furnished for the
Reading Room. A Book and Tract Depository is sustained by the Bible and Tract Societies. A Shipping Office has been also
added, where application from captains, requiring seamen, will be punctually attended to.
We will merely add, in conclusion, that the
'trustee?, aided by Mr. and Mrs. Thrum,
Managers, have done all in their power, and
with the means at their disposal, to render
the establishment worthy of the patronage of
officers and seamen visiting Honolulu.
Now, Mr. Bailor-man, as you look at the
" Home," or as you may enjoy its benefits,
we desire you will regard it as an honest
expression of tin' kindly interest which its

The mutineers at once set up a king in the
person of the son of the late Mogul Emperor,
and we have no certain news of what has

transpired since.
The most active measures arc of course
being taken to suppress this revolt, and it is
satisfactory to know, from latest intelligence,
that the garrison at Agra and of the neigh-

boring stations remain stanch. The Commander-in-Chief is moving down from Umballa with a strong European force, while a
cordon of troops of the Gwalior, Bhurtpore,
and Putteeallah contingents is being drawn
around Delhi, to prevent the escape of the
mutineers, who will doubtless meet with a

■needy and righteous retribution. The conduct of some of the native regiments stands
out in most pleasing contrast with that of
these' scoundrels. Nowhere in India does
liner material for an army exist than in Ben-

gal, and it has been the vicious system of
pampering and coaxing alone that has led to
hese lamentable issues.
An outbreak has also occurred at Ferozepore, hut we are ignorant as yet of the particulars. It had, however, been suppressed.
The opportune return of our European
forces from the Golf, enabled us to dispatch
without lauding Her Majesty's 64th and 78th
Regiments to Calcutta some days ago, and
the troop of Madras Horse Artillery, which
was waiting here for transports to convey
it to Madras. The force left Bombay a week
ago by the steamers Assayo and Queen Victoria, and the transports Baby Castle, Avalanche and Kingstown. In addition to these
troops the Ist Fuseliers have been dispatched
up the Indus, so that the good conduct of our
native army, and the perfect confidence we
have in its discipline and loyalty, have enabled us to dispatch a force of 4000 Europeans to the Bengal side in the last ten days.
.Madras also is readily furnishing its contingent, and within a month the European army
of Bengal will be strengthened by an increase of 10,000 or 12,000 men from the
other presidencies.
An American "Tossing Up" with the
Grand Duke Constantlne.—Bayard Taylor
relates the following anecdote in a recent letter " Last summer an American, who was
on a visit to St. Petersburg, happening to be
walking in one of the narrow streets of that
capital one muddy day, when he suddenly

idewalk MM not wide enough for two persons to pass, and the street was deep in filth.
Both stopped, and a moment's awkward pause
ensued. Suddenly the American, taking a
silver rouble from his pocket, shook it in his
closed hands, and cried out
Crown or

New Vignette.—Thinking our readers
had gazed sufficiently long upon the same
heading to our sheet, we have procured the
new and beautiful heading which is now
presented. It was designed and engraved by
Mr. George Howland, wood-engraver, 229
Broadway, New York.
Steam vs. Sailing Vessels.—The impression is becoming settled that steam vessels
will ultimately sutiersede sailing vessels, except upon very long voyages. The carrying
trade upon the Atlantic is performed, more
and more, by steam. The New York shipowners entertain serious fears that their first
class clippers*may not find full employment.
English steamers are now very extensively
engaged in carrying passengers, as will appear from the following statistics, taken from
the New York papers Steam vessels from
foreign polls, with passengers, lauded at Castle Garden, New York, from January 1,
1856, to July 1, 1857—under the British

French Contracts for Negroes.—The
French Government haveentered into a contract with a Marseilles house for the supply
of 10,000 Africans to Guadaloupe and Martinique. The contract was, it seems, signed
by the French Minisfers of Marine and Finance, on the one part, and MM. Regis, of
Marseilles, on the other part, on the l.'lth day
of March lasl. It stipulates that the latter
nre, within three years, or if possible within
less time, to transport 5000 blacks to Guadaloupe, and as many to Martinique, there to
work under an engagement for ten years, at
the wages of 12 francs 50 centimes a month,
out of which each negro so imported has to
pay, at the rate of two francs a month, the
cost of his trunsport from Africa, which is
estimated at 300 francs. MM. Regis undertakes to employ in this service large steam
vessels, capable ol containing 800 passengers,
and for each adult immigrant, male or female,
they are to receive 500 francs, or j£2o sterling. One of these steamers has, we are

assured, already sailed.

The Judge and the Preacher.

Once upon a time, it matters not how long
ago, or where, but once upon a time, we
were conversing with a certain Judge, upon
the subject of preaching the Gospel. Said
the Judge, « If I was a preacher, I should
wish to own my own church, and have my
salary secured to me, then let the people
ioine and hear me preach, and I should be
able to lot them know the truth, without fear
or favor." Ah, what nice times those would
be for preachers ! How unlike the present!
Then, what fearless preachers would supply
the pulpits of the land ! Seldom, however,
has a preacher ever owned his own church,
or stood perfectly independent of his people in
the way of support. We have beard and
read of some few such instances, but they
have been exceedingly rare. They have
been the exception. Such a system would
not work well, Metier send out twelve penniless apostles, to proclaim the Gisjm'l through
the Roman Empire, than twelve rich preachers, able to command the resources of an
English bishopric ! It may be well to make
the Judge an indeptndent, hut not the
preacher! Some preachers style themselves
independent; but this by no means refers to
their pecuniary position. The laborer, we
have high authority for asserting, is worthy
of his hire! "If we have sown unto you
spiritual things," writ.-; St. I'anl to the Corinthians, -is it a great thing if we shall reap
your carnal tilings "
We have been led to indulge in these
remarks because many suppose that preachera are not so fearless and independent in the
pulpit, as they Would !«• if they Were less
dependent upon their people for support.
Now, we lake an entirely different view of
the matter. It is not the rich parson who
preaches with the fearlessness; and faithfulness of I'aulor Peter. Riches never added
to a preachers real power. If you would
make the preacher bold and out-spoken, give
him neither riches nor poverty; but let him
feel that he is one with his people. If they
are prosperous, let him share in their prosperity ; and if they are called to suffer adversity, then their Pastor will he ready to share
their lot. The preacher should not seek the
indijHiidrnce rightly conceded to the Judge
upon the Bench, but aim to go forth as his
Sovereign's ambassador! Then we are ambassadors for Christ; "as though God did
beseech you by us, we pray you, in Christ's
stead, Be ye reconciled to God."

The last time that Bob Spunyarn went to
sea, was in the ship Matulrieardo, of Boston.
He was second mate of that ship, and proved
himself an active, trustworthy and ever-vigihmt officer. When he was before the mast,
he loved to steal a nap on deck during his
watch, especially when it was not his lookout—and many a sweet sleep litis lie enjoyed

It was a cold but clear moonlight night, in

a-beam, on soundings, offthe entrance to the
British Channel. The starboard watch had

gave the men strict orders to keep a good

admirably managed, that poor Doolittle actually believed that he had fallen overboard
while asleep on the bowsprit, and lieing a
good swimmer, he "struck out" on the
deck, as if for dear life, and looked like an
overgrown frog trying to swim in a basin of
water. He essayed to call for help, but the
salt water in his throat prevented, and the
coughing, and sputtering, and struggling of
the poor fellow was such, that neither the
second officer nor Peter Petersen could restrain their risible muscles, but burst out into
a laugh which ran:' merrily through the ship,
and was the means of bringing Jonathan to
his senses—though not before the watch below, as well as the remainder of the watch
on deck, roused by the dreadful cry of "a
man overboard," hail rushed to the scene of
action in time to enjoy the joke.
Jonathan Doolittle was cured of sleeping
on deck', aud was ever afterwards vigilant

long as this debt remained small, and the

Thus it appeam that the Friend requires

for both have been for many years before
the public. In regard to the economy practiced in managing these objects, it is believed
money is not wasted—at any rate, accountbooks are always open to public inspection.
It has been suggested that the " hat"
should be passed for the Bethel, as is the
practice in other parts of the world. The
Chaplain would remark, that said practice
having never lieen introduced at the Islands,
he prefers, at; heretofore, to re| v upon voluntary donations.
Having never, in vain, made an appeal for

Dkatii ol an Old Kksiukmt.—Advices by the last
mail report the death of our former townsman, Stephen Reynolds. Hi came to Honolulu about the
year ltt'jn, and resided here till 1866. He leaves two
daughters in the United State*, and a son in California. His property ten years since amounted to a
large sum, but owing to bad debts and other causes,
but little remains ut it. He owned, at the time of his
death, a line farm in Massachusetts, and his property here amounts to tour or five thousand dollars.
In California the sum of thirty to forty thousand dollars is due to his estate, hut its recovery is considered questionable. Many of our residents will remember him and his old .store, which stood a little
north of the Sailors' Home, but now torn down. For
