He goes to represent the Obinese Government at Honolulu, and his mission will be to do everything, in name of his Government, that may seem calculated to increase or establish on the most solid foundation trade and intercourse between these islands and China. It may be taken for granted that the interests of the Trans-Pacific Cable Scheme zo far as the Sandwich Islands are concerned will not be neglected by the projector of the scheme. There is no doubt that these istands will, from their geographical position, yet come to occupy a very important position, and the delega tion of Mr Moreno to attend to the inter
