want to trade with us you must treat us " all same as white man." SAMOA, January 17. BULLY HAVES AGAIN. A few mornings ago the traders here were astonished to see the far-famed Capl.. Hayes, hotter known as " Bully Hayes," walking about on the beach. On being naked where he was last from, he replied 'Frisco via Honolulu, Manihiki, Christmas and other islands. His craft is a. 'Frisco yacht of about 25 tons register. He has a mate an Englishman, named Taylor, and a white woman with him. He said he was very jolly, and was bound to the Caroline Islands where he was to be followed by a barque or a schooner. The general opinion here is that he stole the vessel. Two vessels belonging to the new firm, Stuart, Clayton aud Co., are hero bound to Fiji. These pooplclooklike doing a good business. We have four (>ermau vessels here all doing nothing. The old Samoan flag has again been hoisted, and more than half the inhab itants have adopted it. Very few now hold ont for the Stcinberger flag which will be soon defunct. Mr Coe, tho American Consul, who was taken away in the ]>ar raconta, has returned to work for Stuart Clayton and Co.

A PACIFIC ARCADIA.

A NEARLY UNKNOWN ISLAND WITH A BISHOP AND THREE CATHEDRALS ON IT.

So?.lK time ago there appeared in the STAB., a sketch of Palinerston Island, in "which a very interesting page of island life "was laid open. By the kindness of Captain Savory of the schooner Favorite, andfhJs steward, Mr Jelly, we arc enabled to lay before our readers another Island sketch, which we hope will prove <|vile as interesting, and even more astonishing. How many of our readers we wonder, have heard of Uvca or "Wallis island ? It is situated in long. 176 W., and lat. 14 S., that is about 420 miles north-west of Levuka, and not many miles out of the track of the Pacific mail steamers1. The island is about 15 miles long by S miles across, and is surrounded by reefs, which are quite im passable, except at one point, where there 3s apassage. There is no mistaking where this is, for about a year ago the French man-of-wor L'Hermit was wrecked right at the entrance, and there she still lies high and dry. Wallis Island is one of the most fertile in the Pacific. It has a rich volcanic soil, and abounds with cocoanut groves and other timber. The cocoanuts yield large quanti ties of copra.which is exported extensively. There is a numerous native population who own allegiance i o a Queen who resides in the interior. But in the same way as Tonga, though nominally ruled by King George, is in reality under the control of the .Rev. Mr Baker and the Wesleyans, so Wallis Island is really governed by a French bishop, who has been resident on the island for the last 42 years. This patri arch is 74 years old, and is regarded by the whole body of the population as their father. Tho venerable old gentleman, in speaking to Captain Savory, stretched out his hands aiul said, casting his eyes over the island, "Whoo I came here these j.-uople were all cannibals, now they are all my children." The Bishop has working with him, three priests, (likewise French) and also two nuns. There fs one French trader, and one English trader on (lie island, the latter being agent for the nbiijuitous firm of Goddefroi ami Son. In different parts of the island, are no less than three cathedrals all built of a kind of scoria stone, and not one of them less in size than Pitt-street chapel, and all with much more pretension to architectural beauty. They are principally gotluc in style with rich porticoes handsomely decorated with shells. These priests main tain almost absolute control over the people, though they have no force beyond that of moral persuasion. They levy no light taxes in the way of copra, and delinquents are rigorously punished. Christanity is recognised all over the island, and the arts, and scienes are not by any means unknown. Eight or nine months ago, a British subject, who was on a visit to the island, was accussed by one of the priests ■of having taken liberties with one of the girls of the island. The charge was denied, whereupon ilte priest gave the Englishmen the lie direct. John Bull could not stand that, and in s;>ite of the sanctity of his insnlter, he gave him an open-handed smack on the face. The priest reported the occurrence, and in an hour, the unfortunate Englishman was captured and closely confined in a whare, where he was kept in a state of semi starvation for 70 day. He was at length re leased, and immediately Avent to .Samoa, aud laid the matter before the British Consul, who represented it to the captain of the next English man-of-war that arrived. An investigation was held, aud the man-of ■war called -at the island, and laid a line of 4000 dollars upon the inhabitants. It is being paid by instalments. _ Want of time and space prevents our going more fully into the history of this remarkable island. We may perhaps return to the subject at a future time.

THE ARTILLERY AT THE NORTH SHORE.

Tine neighbourhood of the North Shorn was all alire on Saturday, in consequence of the appearance of the local Artillery Volunteers, who had gathered in the district for the annual firing for Government prizes. Ciiptain Burns oommandod the several detachments. The target waa fixed at Hie point at the entrancc_to (lie harbour, on the land belonging to Mr .7. B. Russell, who kindly permitted Cap tain Burns to erect the target there, in order that the competitors might have a Kood firing ground for their Armstrong guns. It was ai-ranK«'l that each detachment should fire three shots and throe shells, at a range of 1500 yards. A pieco of calico about 2ft square placed iis a bull's eye wastwicepiercedbyshot, and'oncc by a shell. The Hrins of Nos. 1 and 2 detach ments was excellent, and it wax diJllcult to guaero fcho respective merits of (.he i:\vo.

"FRITZ."

Mk .T. K. Kmmkt, the comedian, who lias won in Australia, and other parts of New Zealand, many additional laurels to add to a crown of that mythical piece ot! horticulture awarded him in England and America, made his first appear ance in his specialty play, at the Theatre lipyal, on Saturday night. The debut was m overy wav satisfactory, the house being well filled ana the applause frequent and hearty, while, with the exception of a little too lony a " wait be tween the 2nd and 3rd acts, the piece run smoothly. " Fritz" is a drama evidently written to give Mr. Emmet a chance to display his powers as a vocalist, dancer, and master of several instruments. It possesses no striking dramatic excellencies, but is a clever mosiac, evidently put together with consumate skill more by "the artist than the writer. The plot is simple to improbability. Fritz emigrates to America with his 'sweetheart, Katarina. his obi ect being to find a lon<?-lost'sister, who has been adopted by a wicked Colonel—one of t)?oso characters never seen save on ttie stage—who Vis likewise adopted or " annexed" a pretty con- S'dera^le fortune, left by Fritzs father.

THE LATE CRICKET MATCH.

(To the Editor of tho STAR.)

SIE, —As an old cricketer I beg to suggest to tho Auckland players whether they might not greatly benefit by the visit of I lie English Eleven, and become more qualified to oppose another team of professionals that should visit us. Eleven versus Twenty-two is great odds to play against, and yet the players were victorious in one innings, which in creases the odds as eleven to forty-four. 1 believe I am correct in saying that the chief point in which professional cricketers defeat the amateurs is by their v-tv superior style ot lidding, and ii' flic lovers of Kngland'ri noble game were to make that part more their study, and continually to practice it, they would bo better able to play again.-.;! professionals. Let the amateur cricketer make it his aim anil ambition <i> become a thorough good fielder, which would wonder fully help him to defend his wickets with {lie willow or attack them with the ball, i.e. a good all round cricketer. I apprehend that each of the Eleven would admit their victory was mainly owing to their (|iiick and excellent play i:i tho Held. J. an:, dear Mr Editor, Lo>r<i-i'iKi.D Oit <m Ox. (To the Editor of the EVKNJNIi S'l'Alt). Dkaji SIU, —Aueklandcrs who are fond of crickel (or think they arc) by thin time must he thoroughly convince;! that they know very littlo of tho game as now played in England. The wonderful skill exhibited by our visitors in the Held, and with the hat and ball, has surprised everyone. The cil'ect upon our cricketers seems to be thai of making them indiflereiit Insload of stimulating them to make an cll'urt (■> im prove their play. New Zua.landers seem more apathetic than their Knglish fathers. IJnfc surely cricketers at least can see their way to throwing olf this lethargy, for it is evident to tivcry lover of the game that if one of the English professionals could ba induced to return and take up his residence here, then cricket would go-ahead, ami our stylo and play (or rather want of style aud play) wi>..ld rapidly improve. If We had this professional, cricket would receive such an impetus that Auckland would soon hold the premier position in the colony. Surely we have enough pluck to make an offer to one of our late visitors, which would induce him to stay here, or at least to try say a year's residence with us. If the cricketers of Auckland would call a meeting, and unite to raise a sufficient sum to make this oiler, there can be little doubt but that one of the men would take up his abode bore after the Melbourne match. You would deserve the thanks of a very large portion of this community, Mr. Editor, if you would take up the subject and bring it to a successful issue.—Yours, &c., FoiIWAKD.
