February 19, 1852. S. F. Bulletin. Sugar Ilefinery.It is with unalloyed grati fication that we learn that a Joint Stock Company has been formed here in Honolulu for the purpose of erecting a Sugar and Molaste Refinery.

The great advan tages resulting from such an operation to the suar planters must be self-evident. The great risks and drawbacks attending the shipment of their molasses and syrup to San Francisco have been long and justly complained of. This will now be obviated, and by shipping their mol iSses to Honolulu instead of San Francisco they will be able to 6ve freight, containers, leakage, besides obtaining a steady market at their own doors. We understand that some tf the most flourishing plantations have already taken shares I in the new Company, which has leased the building known as the old Custom House from the Government, and will immediately erect the necessary machinery. In the Boston Commercial Bulletin, Jan.

25, we find the following short notice of the Portland sugar house. We hope in a few years to be able to give as favorable an account of the Honolulu Sngar House Portland Scoab House. The consumption of molasses at this establishment for the past vear amounted to between 29.000 and 30,000 hhds from wh ch was produced about 50,000 barrels of sugar, and 15,000 hhds syrup. The manufacture of sugar from molasses yields about one half the amount of molasses consumed in syrup. One hundred and fifty workmen are employed in the various departments, including coopers.

The transportation of these sugars form a large item in the freight of the New York and Boston steamers.

Several packets were lormerly emptoyea in carrying the residuum or syrui. to the Southern States, where it was used in the manufacture of tobacco, and as a low-grade article of con- sumption on the plantations.

THE POLYNESIAN. SATURDAY, APRIL 5. I8G2. Hp- On Tuesday last their Majesties entertained at dinner the following ladies and gentlemen The Chancellor of the Kingdom, Hon. E.

II. Allen, and Mrs. Allen the Commissioner of the United States, Col. Dryer, and Mrs. Dryer Her B.

M. Acting Commissioner, Mr. Green, and Mrs. Green the Consul for Sweden and Norway, Mr. Hackfeld, and Mrs.

Hackfeld the late Russian Consul at San Francisco, Mr. Kastromitinoff, and Mrs. Kastromitinoff, Miss McKihbin, Miss Laanui, Miss Swinton, Miss Paty, Captain Daridoff, Doctor Siberiakoff, and Lieutenant of the Russian corvette Calavela, and Dr. R. McKibbin.

Funeral of II. 1. Commissioner, Mr. Perrin. The funeral of the above gentleman, on Tuesday forenoon last, was one of the most imposing ever attended in Honolulu.

The remains of the late Commissioner were received at the gate of his residence, Elen House, in Chaplain Street, by a deputation of Catholic Clergyman and Choristers, who preceded the procession, chanting solemn hymns and bearing a lofty silver crucifix between two large wax candles. After them came a detachment of one hundred men from the Russian Corvette Calevala, then the Honolulu Rifle Corp, and His Majesty's Household Troops. The hearse then followed Messrs. O-jden and Davis, as Secretaries of the United St and British Lega tions, Majors Hasslocher and McKibbin, on the part of His Majesty, Messrs. von Holt and J.

C. Pfluger, on the part of the Consular Corps and two Lieutenants from the Russian Corvette Calevala, acting as pallbearers. The Chancellor of the French Legation, Mr. de Varigny, went as chief mourner after the hearse. followed by His Majesty's state carriage, horses and postilli -ns dressed in mourning.

Then came the Chn cellorof the Kingdom, His Majesty's Ministers, Foreign Representatives, the Russian officers and officials, the Consular Corps, residents of the city and strangers generally. Arriving at the Catholic Church the coffin waa deposited on a catafalque and the impressive fun ceremony performed by His Lordship Bishop n. M.gret. assisted by the Diocesan Clergy attendance. The church was densely crowded, both in the galleries and below.

After the services in the church the pro cession proceeded to the Catholic cemetery in Kulao- kahua, where the coffin was deposited with roilitiry honors from the naval aud military detachments accom panying it How We Look Abroad. In the Sydney, Morning Herald," of the 11th January, we read Hawaiian Islands. We have Honolulu papers to the 14th November, inclusive, but there is little in them likely to be of interest to a Sydney reader. Mor monism appears to have spread greatly among the na tives, the converts bring drawn, it is stated, almost ex clusively from the Protestant Mission Churches, al though a few Catholics have gone over. The King, who suffered from asthma, was still residing for the roost part on the island of Kaui, and his health had much improved.

The papers contain a proposition from the Evangelic Alii nee, to make November 28th a day of general thanksgiving for the prosperity of the king dom. The above information must have been gathered from the P. C. Advertiser.

We publish to-day, in ano ther column, the statistics of the port of Honolulu for the first quarter of 1862. They show a most gratifyin increase in the transactions of the port. Our export trade with Victoria, V. I is as great this quarter with San Francisco, and a very marked increase reveals itself in most of the staple articles of export. The diminution of inter-island passengers would seem to in dicate that the natives begin to stay at home and at tend to their own business, instead of roving to Mono lulu in quest of fortune as formerly.

Mb. Editor I have watched with great interest the discussion you have endeavored to provoke in the public journals and in the public mir.d about the edu cation question in this country. Happening the other day to attend a promiscuous assemblage, where you was present, and where different subjects of public in terest were discussed with more or less emphasis, I heard one gentleman remark that the educational departmtnt of the country worked beautifully," and that if all the other departments worked as well there would be little cause to criticise or words to that efTwt. Knowing the gentleman, aud knowing, too, that of himself he knows as little of this people and their educational wants as they know of him and his hobbies, I was disposed to take no notice of such random expressions but on reflection, considering that he is but the echo of the impressions entertained and the notions circulated by your opponents, I beg the liberty to give my opinion of this bingular assertion and ray views of what is and is not practicable, at present, in the way of educational reform. The logical definition of a thing that works well," is that it produces the results expected from it.

Now, I am not uncharitable enough to draw the strict inference which flows from that assertion, and allege that your opponents expected the great and lamentable failures which have followed the working" of the educational system which they instituted, and which has had ample time during two generations to develop its good and bad results. But if I refuse to be uncharitable I am compelled to be uncourteous, in thought at least, and opine that these gentlemen who now so calmly pronounce that the present system works beautifully," do not know much about it or the mutual adaptation of the system to the people, or the people to the system. To simply re.id the reports of the Board of Education upon the working of its present system, is a very dangerous basis to argue from. They admit, to be sure1 in several places, the shortcomings of the system, but always in such a manner as to lend the reader to infer that they are only exceptional the unavoidable remains of a darker age and a transition period, which each succeeding year is removing, and not at all inherent in the system itself increasing and aggravating. To any one conversant with the people and their language, such illusions are soon dispelled, and he perceives with regret that the Comraou Schools, maintained by the Government, are not at all adapted to the moral wants, the social status or peculiar characteristics of this people that for the same reasons that a represen- tative democracy with universal suffrage, on the Ameri- can pattt rn, would work ruin and anarchy among a people just emerging from the most abject slavery, so the New England system of education, pure and simple, wou'd be a hundred years ahe id of a people who had not yet the most distant idea of domestic training, the first correct principles of social intercourse.

The writer has lived for years in the New England States, and seen their schools pretty closely he is not a stranger to this country or the results of its Common Schools it is therefore with great pain, but a conscientious conviction of the truth, that he avers that the latter are but a miserable parody, a bitter mocWery of the former a Satyr to a Hyperion." He admits the labored and painfully minute resemblance, but it is the resemblance of the corpse to the living man, of the wax figure to the breathing original. I am well aware, however, that it is far easier to see faults than to suggest remedies. One (not the least) consequence of a vicious habit or a faulty system, is the difficulty of changing it all at once, lest a sudden reform might produce reactionary abuses or defeat itself through the want proper means Your proposition of Industrial Schools is a beautiful idea, yet, without loosing hold upon it, but rather keeping it as a beacon of hope on the stormy lee-shore, it must be admitted that the means to bring it int. working operation just now, to the txtent that you would seem to require, could not be procured even with the best will at a time when present material wants outweigh, in the nature of things and in the nature of a semi-civilized people, moral and social wants. The Government cannot pos-sitively obtain the means to start such an enterprise.

It can borrow money on a public improvement of lands, harbors, but not a cent on even the best project of improving the morals and manners of the rising generation. The quid pro quo is not tangible, and Common Schools are never quoted on Change" as a hypothecate for money invested. Contributions from the people might assist, if properly prompted, to keep the machinery agoing, but would never be sufficient to start it. As a pure matter of unavoidable necessity therefore, you must make the best use of the machinery at band, make new combinations of its powers, clean and oil its wheels better, and make such primary reforms as its mechanism will admit of. The Government has for over thirty years attempted to be the general schoolmaster of the people, not as a kind but firm protector, but as an inter-officious, meddling stage-manager, with the actions and conscience of the people.

Poorly kept schools are a certain corrol- lary to poorly paid teachers and where the Government assumes the responsibility of teaching, it is shirked by the people. I admit that in view of its protection the Government has a right, and it is its duty to. insist that cert un things should be taught in the Common Schools, but the time, the mode or the teachers, in and by whom these are to be taught, any more than the number of schools or the manner of supporting them, are none of the Government business at least, has not worked beneficially in this country where so great a disparity exists in sentiment, modes of thought and action, and attainments between the Government and the people. Secular schools are premature in this country. It wants its children taught prin ciples and manners of action, the basis of a moral and industrious life afterwards, more than literary attain ments in a language that is bound to cese to be the medium of business, the qualification of advancement, before the present generation is greyheaded.

Now, where there is no domestic training, these things must be attended to iu school. Such is the wise experience which history has left from the remotest ages in all newly-converted countries. But a school to properly attend to these things in such countries, must therefore be under the ire, guidance and exhortation of the religious teacher to whose faith the parents belong. After converting the parents, the missionary may not fold his arms and his tents and flit away to other scenes, if the confession of faith from savage lips were the sed and the end of his mission. On the contrary, his real labor nly then just commences.

That heathen convert may go to heaven on the strength of his dim conception and slim practice of the new faith, for God's mercy is unbounded but that he, or a state composed of such as he. can rear up civilized, virtuous and industrious chil dren, 1 think utterly impossible without help from with out. I think the Missionaries made a fatal blunder when they transferred their duties in this matter to the Government. Let them begin again. Their lives are consecrated to this object and to none other.

Let politics and forms of government and laws alone, and attend to the children. One tender, true and trusting heart will sweeten the air of the wildest political desert and many hearts of similar stamp will make political misrule impossible I propose thetefore that on certain conditions, above- mentioned, the Government relieves itself from the burden and management of the Common Schools. Give the districts a municipal t.rganization for the purpose of conducting their own schools, vote their own school fund to be expended per capita of the children. Let the parents of any given number of youths find their own teachers, consult their own pastors and manage in thcii own way, as long as they comply with what the Government requires. Let the Government appoint an in spector of the district to see that the Government conditions are fulfilled.

Let the Government collect the taxes voted by the district, and pay the school committees drafts eountersigned by the inspector. Stimulate by frequent examinations and rewards both teachers and scholars and parents. But whatever may be the Government standard the schools, let it insist, above all things, from the commencement, that the sexes should be separated, whenever possible so to do, without breaking upthe school ltogeiher. When the Government finds more means than it possesses at present, let it ber your proposition in mind, and erect those industrial schools here and there through the country as a higher class of schools for the children of those who may be better able to support them. At present I wish to place the Common Schools on such a looting that emulation and competition can take place between them instead of the dead level of apathy which now prevails.

Lh the teachers of the differ nt religious denominations have unfettered scope to exert themselves, and I believe that they will take care that the children of their charge will not come to shame either in general conduct or on special examination days. Z. COMMERCIAL. rniDA r. april Since our last date we have to note several foreign arrivals.

On Sunday last the bark Zoe, Lawton, 60 days from New Zealand, in ballast, and the White, I.ovett, 16 days from Pan Francisco, under sail, en route for Shanghae; on Monday, the bark Speedwell, Paty, 13 days from San Francisco, with the usual amount of freight, to Wilcox, Richard. Co and smal' mail on Wednesday, the ship leoniuin, Heustis, SO days from Newcastle, with coals ami passengers, en route for San Francisco, to sail hence on the 7th and the same day, barkentine Constitution, Keller, from fuget Sound, via lum ber, to II. Hackfeld A Cn. The clipper ship liingleatler sailed on Sunday last for Japan, and on Monday the bark Emperor for Shanghae. The Constitution will sail soon for Victoria, taking a full freight of sugar, molasses, mules, etc.

We notice that the exports of produce for the past three months to Victoria nearly equal those of 1861, and are equal with the amount sent to California, occasioned altogether by the high duties at the latter port. Pulu also, an important item of freight, has fallen off, owing to the low price in San Francisco, an.l the unfavorable weather for collecting it here, will effect our packets seriously. We learn that a company has been forn.ed from among some of our best and most pro ninent citizens, for the purpose of es- in this city a Sujar Refinery, to work np our dark grades of suar and molasses. Some of the company, we hear, will go to San Francisco in the SjeediccU to arrange for the machinery. Knowing the men who have taken hold of this mat ter, we can guarantee a speedy completion of an establishment which will not only be remunerative to the owners, but will add greatly to the prosperity of the islands.

The Cotton Gin, we learn, has been at work the past week, and although the quantity ready for irket is but small, we are assured hy thoe who are judges that it is of a fine long staple and will command a good price in any market, and we expect to hear before many months of a shipment being made to either England or France. We regret to notice that one of our importing and commission houses has been compelled to go into liquidation. The liabilities are estimated at from to nearly all on foreign account.
