The int»'re3i i? not aK>nc 3tirrtHt up oa acc»»uat of the feelings« of nationa!ity, but aleo on account of the different principles in bvtt-bui!dineuuderlying the two yachts. In Franco the Uussian tleet has heea received with uueheeke»l dein»>nslrHtions. The receptiun of the Kossian uaval ollicers in Paris, was so dcmonstr«tive as to bonler on hostility towards Oerraany. The Gerraans in Paris have resent<Hl the nnwarranto»l deraonstration aml tbe Bituatiou is extremely procarious. Ex Presideut MeMahon is dying and 80 Fenlinand de Lesseps. i From Brazil, the news aro not j enconragiog.

As we bnve alwavs pre<licte<l that the dav will eome when the Marshal will rne, having bronght this leuaaina person to Honolnln. we : will now reroind them both that n repetition o{ yester»lay s atfair might end with disaster —not to the masses though. If the Marshal cannot have his poliee eommaa»le»l by gentlemen of eommon senso and discretion, let him throw up tbo game and give way for somebody who ean find proper raaterial. “Captain’ Andrews could tnke sorao valnable lessons from Captains Larsen, Juen, Parker, McGurn, and many other present anu former o ffi e i a 1 s as h o w to act towards citizens of Honololu the easiest-hnnilled people in the world bv the way. If he thinks he is «lriving couliest yet on B.ddwin’s plantations he will wnke ap one of these days «nd fin«l thnt he is making a mistake. lf a crowd gathered around Consul General Mills. and shook h*-nds with him, and cheered him what business is that of the poliee? No compl:iint either from the own?rs of tho wh«rf. nor from the Gonsul General, nor frora neighbors as to a distarbance ever reached the poliee, why this unealleil for interference? Better read sorae law, eaplain. before the tronble begins.
