110 The lyj. es i a IV 1 ,1 4 mT- 9 TilE.POLYNESIAN. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, A Sailor' Home in Honolulu. Pursuant to a call extensively circulated, a. large meeting convened at the Bethel on Monday evening last, to consider the Bubject of establishing a Sailr or's Home in Honolulu.

S. N. Castle was called to the chair, and Tm. St. Bingham chosen secretary.

The meeting was opened Jby prayer by the Rev. S. C. Damon, Seamen's Cha plain. An enthusiastic and animated discussion ensued, advocating the measure, which was partic-itiated in by Messrs.

Brown, Elliot, Damon, Waterbous3, Johnson, Armstrong, Chamberlain, Bartl tt, Bullock, Walker and other, and a Resolution was passed, to raise by subscription $20,000 for the object contemplated, A committee; of six three from the sea, and three from the residents in town, was appointed to solicit subscriptions, and report to an adjourned meeting on Wednesday evening. The committee consisted of Capt. Walker, chairman, Capts. Neil and Elliot, and Messrs. Johnson, Ii and Castle.

Persons designing to m-ke present donations to the proposed fund were invited by the chairman to i i i j.i i i i i i- step forward to the table.when the meeting adjourn eJ to WedaeaJiy eveahig, at half past'eeven o'clock.

Mr. Whitney was app inteJ Treas arer, to take charge of any that in iv be contri uted, until permanent oIEcers are elected. A petition was circulated, to the minister of the for a lit of ground i which to build a Hose, and received a large number of names.

G. M. Robertson, Eq. was chairman, in place of Mr. Castle, who asked to be excused on account of a pressure of business.

Capt. Elliot being about leave port resigned his post as a member of thc committee, and Capt. enact was chosen ia his place. A long and animated diseus-ija took place with reference to tho details of the Home to be built, its management and probable expense, and other matters relating to it; from all which it was evident lhat an institution was contemplated which would prove a real Idessing to seamen, and just such a Ilame as they needed ia a port like Honolulu. The meeting adjourned to Friday evening.

We most earnestly hope the attempt now making to benefit Beimcn, and provide them a comfortable place of residence while in port, will prove success- i ful and from the spirit and character of the men who have undertaken it. we have no doubt thov it -i will suceaei. A small eontnouti in fr.i avi- men: and a corresponding one from masters, officers, 41 with a lot ofground from the Government, would ac- complish thb desirable object without burdening any one, and would provide Honolulu with an institution, desirable iu the Jiighest degree, and one that would be an honor to the city. A mistake corrected. In the account published last week of tho affair at Petropoloski, it was said, "The order to land was given and under the direction of an American pilot, who Lad represented thc environs of the town as quite easy of access, and not very woody, the forces ofithe Allies landed upon the beach and advanced cpon the principal redoubt.

But whether by mistake cr treachery, they found themselves entangled among thick brambles and bushes, which arrested their progress at every step, and afforded the Russian marksman a secure and almost impenetrable shelter." We have been requested to soy, and we do it upon the authority of a gentleman who was there at the time, so far as the word ajiericax is concerned in tho above quotation, it is entirely incorrect. The two men that acted as pilots for the forces on shore, were a German and an Irishman, run-away sailors from whaleships. who had been fjr 6ime time at Petopoloski, but-bad latterly been absent from that place cutting wood at a point somewhat distant. While there, they had been employed by tha Governor, anl assisted in building the batteries mount ng the guns. But after they had left, additional guas had receive aal btttery erected, of which bey wore ig i irant and it was upon this very battery that they led the allied forces, without knowing uf ks-ciistance, and which arrested t'uir laoicb upon the Frt.

woald appear it was and not treachery ia the guides that led to thedlsasti-r. firth loirn from tho sme authority, that 3 ti-iaiber of heavy guns luve bea sent for, and th-t wen wore to be added the ir-rison at Petrvipol ski for d-fense. Tiis, with thc naturally strong position of that port, ill render it a formidable pint attack from sea, nd will require a very etroag fore? to 6ubdue. There can be dtubt that th.3 Russians will employ every means in thcir power to fortify and defend Tetropoloski, between-this and the opening of the season nest suininer, and it subjugation will cost a great sacrifice of life before it is accomplished; in fact, more than it wril be worth when cap-- turod.

NEWS FR03I THE SEAT OF WAR Sketch by -Te Witnes--Account of the Affair at I'etropoloski. Aftcrour piper hid been issued on the 11th, th2 Am. brig Noble, Capt. Robertson, arrived from Petropoloski, where he was lying at the time of the attack by the combined English and French Squadron in August List.

From letter written by a resident of that place to a gentleman in this city, we ore permitted to make the following extract, which will throw the light upon the lite attack from a different point. The Noble was by several shots from the squadron during the action, but sustained no very se rious damage. The writer above referred to siys "The combined fleet was lying here about a fortnight, during which time two attempts were made to take the place, both of which, from seme unknown cause, filled. Although the Russians made a brave and determined resistance, the force opposed to them was so decidedly superior, in point of numbers and arms, that it was the general ex- poctation that the place would be taken, which, without I doubt, would have been the case, if the attacking party had followed up the advantages they obtained in both actions. The first time, they atticked the plnca in its strongest position, receiving the fire of three forts mounting together 13 guns, also of the Russian frigitc Aurora, and transport Dwina, in all 43 guns.

The fleet had in three frig itcs and a steamer, mount ing, as fir as known, 83 gans. After a sharp contest lef about 20 minutes, one of the forts of five runs was a s'-k-need, another cf three guns taken by 6torm, and in another hour fi gans of the only remaining fort were made useless for the rest of the action, leaving six guns lbe forts in order anJ lae transport to At tULj tim0i which was about noof thc En-fob. and French ceased firing, they only hiving untamed the fire for sometime, and soon hauled off bevond the reach of the guns of the fort, thus termin. ating the action After this affair, no further attempt was made for four lys, during which time the Russians had entirely repaired their damages, with the exception of two guns completely disabled. Upon the fourth day another at tack was ide at an cirly hour, on the weakest point in the pi ice, defended by two forts, mounting nine jSun3 la hxl1 au llour klter the was nrcd both forts were silenced, ana tie steamer commenced landing men, which was effected with but little loss The spot chosen for landing was at the base of a high hill, leaving the shore about midway between the forts which had been quieted.

After landing, they marched in the direction of the fort, situ ted at the back of the town, and from made a successful attempt to scale, which was well done, although it was very feteep, and traierscd enly ly small paths, and thickly covered with small wcod. At this point the scene cf action wa3 obscured from observers by a thick fog and smoke from musketry, which id been engigedsome fifteen minutes. Shortly after the firing ceased, and when the fog cleared up, which was soon, the Russians were found to be in possession of the place stilL The assail mts had rt urned t0 tucir Tsels. ThU concluded the affair, as the seconj afiCr' lbe cnUre fleet 6ot un'icr ftni of Port and afier lying off and on for a d.y or two, disappeared altogether, rr It is reported here that taey captured while outside, a new ship, the Sitka, belonging to the Russian Fur Company, and a government fcchccncr belonging to this port. i The loss to the Russians in both cnziicments is not above 203 killed and wounded.

TLe loss of governmem property little or That of the other party can not be correctly stited, but is known to be much more severe, as they suffered much from the fire cf the Ras-sians, while retreating to their vessels, om the lost engagement There his been found here three French and one English officer killcl, anl three siilors taken prisoners, two of whom hive since died, leiving one I nglish living, who reports th it the English Admiral in command thot himself upon the morning of the fii-st attack, while putting h's pistols in his belt and there appears to be some question whether the affiir was accidental or not. Upon the person of one of the French officers killcl, supposed to ive been in com man 1 of the 1 inding party, was found a plan of attack upon the town, with the forts, but not altogether correct, being evidently taken frtni seme old acctunt cf the pbicc. Therein was also state! thit the number of men selected for the lmd.ng was C75, and after the first party landed, five more boats cime ashore, probibly swelling the number to about 1,033 men but this cannot be positively known. The Russians report their force in action to repulse the landing party, to have been COO men; but probably this is a low estimate, although the assaulting party were evidently much superior in numbers. I emitted to mention that upon the first appearance of thc fleet off the port, the steimer entered the harbor under the Americ Flag, although her nationality was suspected.

She went cut ngiin immediately, and the next morning they all ime in together. The Russians are very inllgnmt at the use of the American that, in connection with an account of the battle, is determined the Governor here to send an officer, as a special courier, to the Emperor, direct. ihere are now here the t'rigite Aurora, the transport Dwin a recently arriied, and two small craft U'louging to Cut government. The frigites Uiani nnd Pill id ir are both at the rir Armoor, Russian Military Colony, where is also the Governor Gcueral of Siberia, Admiral 1'utitio and about 5,:) )3 troops, and two or three sm ill vessels, incla ling a stenner." Thus far the writer from which- we have id the privilege of extracting. Some dlscrepincies exist between thi, and the account we published list week, in regird to the number of forts, guns and men engiged, which will be readily seen by comparing the two accounts.

IIarbr We arj hippy ts liara that the Cabinet ara tak-rng mjisarjs ti cirry oat the parpwjof th2 Legislature ia appropriating maney f5r dredging the harW and deepening the channel, sj as to admit xcssAijjf the largjst class Ia doing, the convenience of commerce will not only bo consulted, but land can also bj ido, which will abundantly remunerate the gorernmnt for any outlay they may expend the improrements. Such being the case, the s.ner the work is commenced the f.ir every int3rcst concerned and we are glad to kaow t'aat it with such views that the tvennnont are now prosecuting the subject. a more important subjects eng ig the attention of the last legislature, than thosj of dredfnn the harbor, djepening the channel so that ships of the largest diss can entar, and constructing more wharves for the onvenionce of shipping And yet, for this latter object, powers wora given or appropriation in ids whila "every year's experi jnc. more clearly demonstrates the nrymt necassitv f.r wharf raxn. of which the harbor of Honolula is la- menUbly d-'fiifnt.

SUPREME COURT. Dec! mob Chief Jaslice Lee. JOHN G. LEWIS vs.

W. II. DAVLSand R. G. DAVIS.

J. MoNTCOitFJJY, and J. D. Biira, Counsel for the Plaintiff. A.

B. Bates, and C. C. Harris, Counsel for the Defendants. This was an action of ejectment brought to recover possesflin of a certain iitin Honolulu, the title to which had been previously litigated before the Land Commission and Supreme Court, and tonally decided to lie in the heirs ot Polly Holmes.

The plain tiff claiming to le one of the heirs of Polly Holmes, and the true representative of the other heirs, brought this suit to recover the possession cf the nmnerf On tlie trial of the cause at the last Arr Term, the Court charged tho jury, that the finding of a former jury of the Court on an appeal from lhe Lund Commission, that the title Was i-. the heirs of Polly Holmes was conclusive and binding up the parties, and that if they found tlie plaintiff Lewis to ie the hfir of Polly Holmes and the true tive of thc other heirs, his bro thers, their verdict should be lor the plaintiff. The Jory after a short absence returned into Court with a ispeeial verdict to the that the plaintiff was the heir of Polly Holmes through his own riffht and as the representative of his brothers Toe Counsel for defendants objecting toaspeci.il verdict, the Court instructed the jury to tnd a gen eral verdict for tiihcr the plaintiff or the defendants. Whereupon ihey roiired and fffter a long absence finally rendered tbeir verdict lor the oe-fend m's, three jurors dissenting in favor of the pluntiH. The Counsel for the plaintiff now moves the Court lor a new trial, on the ground that the Und ine of the Jurv was directly in contravention ot their Erst verdict, the ruling of the Court, the evi dence and the law The Curt has always been reluctant to grant new trials, especially in'casa where they have been asked on the ground that the verdict wus contrary to the evidence, for where the question was one ot fact, and where the jury had properly weighed and passed upon the evidence, the Court has not felt authorized to set the verdict aside, although iniirht upon the same ciidcnce have been of dif ferent opinion.

But where thf jury take tho law into their own nnd nd a erdict contrary therrt), without regarding the instructions of the Court, the case is different, and the Court is bound to set HSiue sucli a veroici so ouen asii is reiurneu rulo is so well established as to render it un nece-s irv to cite any authorities in its support. That the jury i3 to piss upon the facts and thc Court upon the law, is a principle which Ih-s at the foundation of Jory uial in every country blessed with this institution and as the Court is responsible for the correctness of the law, it may not permit the jury, in civil actions at least, to -r .1 II usurp its authority; ior ii it. uoes uiere umu no certainty in the administration of justice. It is our desire always to sustain and confirm verdicts where we can do so without violating the law, but when it is manifest that the jury have mistaken their duty we shall not hesitato to set their verdict aside and grant a new trial. The doctrine on this sulject is ably set forth by Lord Mansfield, ir.

It is absolutely ntctssarti to ius- rf ticc, that there upon many occasions, be op- oiitunities of nxonsidcrmg the caus3 ly a now tiial." Chief Justice Shaw, in the casoof Cunningham, vs. Mag un, says: great l.icipio, winch is at the ol jury trial, is never to be io sight of, thot to all matteis of law, the C.Uit aro to answer, to all controverted lucts, tho jury. The ver dict of a jury is rai'tically to Ihj taken for truth. this Uisliiic-tto i was eu.vtually pre served, by special pleading, whereby juries were compelled to answer ves or no, to a preciso fact, averred one side and denied on the other, nnd by attaints and other expedients, where juries de- jmrted from the truth, through rejudice or cor rupt motives. But by the prevailing ue, in modern practice, of general irations and general issues, the jury is in most cases lelt to tnd a gen eral verdict, which necess.uily nhraces the whole matter of law and ict.

ihe mode ot trial therefore necessarily is, when the evidence is out, fir the Court to direct the jury bypotheticnlly, adapting the instructions in point ot law to the state of evi dence, putting it to the jury to return a verdict for tne pi.timm or ueicnnant, as they snail una certain facte proved to their siitisl'action or otherwise, by the evidence. The consequence obviously is, that the jury, in finding a general verdict, do in form return a verdict, embracing the matter ot law as well as fact and, therefore, as they may mis- taku the instructions of the Court, or may take the aw into their own hands, imagining it to bo severe or inequitable, they may return verdict manifest ly ngnnst the law tmd truth of the case. 1 ren der such a mode of tiial safe and tolerable, there must exist power somewhf-re, to re-examine ver dicts with some freedom, and when it is manifest that juries have been warped from thc direct line of their duty, by mistake, prejudice, or even by an lonest desire to reach the supposed equity, con trary to the law of the cas, it will be the duty of the Court to 6ct the terdiet aside. When, therefore, the evidence is cl -ar, plain and strong, and the law has been clearly and explicitly stated to the jury, and they decide against the law, it imposes upon toe lourt the duty ot interfering, because it must 1m apparent, that the jury have either unintentionally erred, by mistaking the terms of their instructions, or misapprehended the weijht of the evidence, or that they have mistaken their duty or abused their trust." How the Jury, after their finding their first verdict, could find the latter, I can form no idea. Whether it was from misunderstanding the direc-ti of the Court, mistake, prejudice, or an honest desiri to do what fiey thought was eq ity, I cannot tell, but clear I am, the verdict is contrary to the law, and I think the motion for a new trial should be granted.

My associ ites entirely agree with me in this opinion, and our judgment is, that the motion Iks granted and that the costs of this suit abide the event of the new trial. Ships in the Harbor. We hare been requested by a largi numbir of persons, to call attention to t' manner in which the vessels in the harbor are placeJ, and the great difficulty experienced by vessels in getting in and out of port. This is apparent toany ona wh; will have patience to watch ayessel in-her attempt to get out from any of tho wharves. Even the steamers on Monday last, had ia bavin pm, anl one of them has had damiges to pay, which could have been prevented, had the shiM been kert awar from so jar a proximity to the wharves I Tjero is dooAt ibtfl aStTT A-WTfSaJ well as da it hn printed, if taa spaee nwrthSvharves-, undawidj channel out, were I kjfopen.
