I. Dowsett the premium offered Tor best lot of Muscovy ducks thinking it would have been difficult for him to have been beaten whatever may have been the competition. There: was but one specimen of Butter exhibited, which was accompanied with no statement of how it was produced. It was of fair quality but not superior to the butter frequently in market. It va9 not thoronffhly worked and had it been necessary for the committee to ascertain ita weight, a allowance should have been made for the weight of the salt it contained more than necessary lo preserve a fine specimen.

Butter of the finest i quality in color, taste and consistency may be made upon the Islands, for such specimens have been een by some members of the committee, bought ia the market, and until they are produced at th fair the committee think they will not be justified in awarding a Premium. Whether cheese uf first quality can be produced unon the Islands may be urobleniattcal. but no specimen was found at the fair meriting a special commendation, much less a Premium The lady on Kauai, who usually has a specimen at the fair is entitled to praise for her perseverance nnd it is to be hoped before anotheryear has elaps ed, fine specimens may be produced ironi the ma herds upon the several Islands.

44 44 greatest variety of Roses '4 44 44 110 There being no basket of flowers exhibited, yonr committee can only regret being unable to award the premium offered for that purpose. Your committee are decidedly of opinion, and would suggest, that a hrger number of premiums should be offered in this department; at least first and second premiums for each of the collections enumerated the present year; and would suggest the propriety of one or two premiums for the best Dahlias, likewise a premium for the introduction of the Nympbea, or white pond lilly. While but one premium is offered, there is a feeling, and a legitimate one too, among the humbler class of floral cultivators, that it is entirely useless for them to attempt competition with amateur florists upon an extended scale, the consequence is, competition is not induced, and the Society loses the gratification anticipated, and fails to promote the object designed. Your committee also believe the society can well afford lo offer an extended list of premiums in this department when we consider the amount of sales from this source yearly. Although professedly an Agricultural Society, we think its members and the community are fully aware of the importance, and interest, which Flowers have ever contributed to our annual exhibitions, aside from the daily pleasure ef living, jidinsr, and walking among beautiful flower rrard- .1 .1 1 i I -ci ens, tiling ine air witn meir iragrance aeiignung the eye with their delicate beauty, and raising the thoughts to the great Author.

Among the various articles coming under our observation, we noticed with the greatest interest the samples of indigo, No. 47. The presence of this article in our rair as an Island production, is peculiarly significant, It points to a source of wealth to this country, of incalculable value. In different districts of these Islands, there are many miles in extent covered with Indigo plant growing in greatest luxuriance, without cult tion. Why shouLx this source of wealth ren undeveloped? Why should this plant, which is bet ter than a mine ot gold to the country, remain simply a pest to the grazier and agriculturalist5 We hope the time is near when the mauufacture of shall become one of the important branches "of industry upon the Hawaiian Islands.

We award a premium of $15, for the Indigo. No. 71 is a very fine silver mounted Saddle, representing a branch of industry of considerable impor tance, when we consider the large number of sad dies imported and sold in this market. We award a premium ot Also a diploma be awarded to Dr. Judd, for the fine specimens of arrow root exhibited.

Two collections of land shells, exhibited by Drs. Fnck and iNewcomo are worthy ot notice as indi cating the progress of this interesting branch of ecience, in this remote part ot the world.

THE POLYNESIAN. JUNE 23, 1855.

Dissolution of the Legislature. By reference to the proceedings of the two houses hi another column, it will be seen that His Majesty dissolved the legislature on the instead of proroguing it, as had hitherto been the custom. The reason for this unusual proceeding can hard- be stated more concisely than it is in the follow ing' proclamation of His Majesty. Uf PROCLAMATION by the King. all 0LTR Loyal Subjects, Greeting: WE hereby Proclaim that We have this i i tr 1 aay usso-rea me legislature oi vur rv.ng-, dom, oy virtue oi toe power vested in us by the Constitution.

The exigency ccfii tcmplated by that sacred instrument las arisen, by the disagreement of the two Houses on the bill of Supplies, which are necessary to carry on Our Government and furthermore, the House of Represerita lives Iramed an Appropriation Hill exceed ing our Revenues, as estimated by Ou Minister of Finance, to the extent of abou $200,000, which Bill We could not sane tion. There seemed no prospect of agreement inasmuch as the House of Nobles had repeated efforts at conciliation with the House of Representatives, without success and finally, the House of Representatives refused to confer with the House of Nobles respecting, the said Appropriation Bill in its last stages, and we deemed it our duty to exercise our constitutional prerogative of dissolving the Legislature, and therefore there are no representatives of the people in the K.inguom Therefore, We further proclaim Our Wil and Pleasure, that Our Loyal Subjects, in II Our Islands, proceed immediately to elect new Representatives, according to law, on the 1 0th day of July next. And We convoke the Representatives who may be so elected, to meet in Parliament in Our City of Honolulu, on Monday, the 30t! day ol July, ol tins year, lor the specia and only purpose of voting the Supplies necessary to. the administration of Our Gov ernment, without oppressing Uur laitlilu Subjects with unreasonable iaxes. jjone in wur raiuce oi jtionoiuiu this sixteenth day of June, 1855, and the first year of Our reign.

KAMEHAMEHV Victoria K. TC a a i i a f. The history of the proceedings for the''' fast few days of the session discloses the fact, that the two bouses agreed upon the time when they would be ready to be prorogued, and duly notified His Ma- jasty. The time fixed was, Thursday the 14th, but in consequence of the death of Paki, the period was deferred by his Majesty to Saturday, the ICth It also appears that on the Bubject of the appro priation bill, the two bouses disagreed on a large number of items, and that a joint committee met and agreed upon a report which was respectively submitted to the two houses. This report, how ever, was not fully adopted by the house of representatives, whereupon the house ot Nobles request ed another committee of conference, which the house of representatives refused, contrary to every principle of parliamentary In addition to this, the house of nobles proposed a joint session of the two houses, witkthe hope of so uniting their views as to pass the appropriation till, and thus allow the wheels of government to be kept in motion.

But this proposition was rejected by a majority of two, and thus all further progress was arrested. i At this stage of proceedings, the hour for prorogation arrived, the house of representatives being still in the midst of their violent discussions without even having the grace to request His Maj eslv to nostnone the dav of rroroeation, which they themselves, in concurrence with the house nobles, had fixed, in accordance with their views of public business. No other course, thereforo, remained for His MajeBty, but to dissolve them, in accordance with the provision of the constitution for such an emergency, which is as follows: 44 Art. 29. The King, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, convenes both houses ot tne legislature at the seat of government, or a different Dlace.

if that should become dangerous, from an enemy, or any dangerous disorder; and in case of disagreement between the two nouses, or Deiween His Majesty and them, He adjourns, prorogues, or dissolves them, but not Deyona tne session vi yie next year under any great emergency, He may convene both, or cither of them to extraordinary In reviewing the circumstances of the case, we can but regard the course of the majority of the house as extremely inconsiderate, and to have been dictated more by passion than judgment. In fact there seems to have been a stubbornness manifested by some of the members, that would have been highly commendable had some great principle been involved. But the fact is, the members were car ried away by the excitement of the moment, and were only brought to their sober senses again when they found themselves dissolved, and their oppor tunity for further factious opposition cut off. This is proved by the fact that on Monday, the 18 tb, a meeting of the late members was convened and a petition almost unanimously signed, praying His Majesty to revoke his proclamation, by which they had been dissolved virtually, if not in direct terms, acknowledging, that they had been wrong in standing out against every possiblo overture made to unite their action. Two members of the house were absent, and had left the island, else all this delay and expense of a new election need not have been incurred.

The majority, without the speaker, was but two. Had the absent members been present, we have no doubt their votes would havo been with the minority lit 1 a ana me 6peaKer would have decided the case. Arrival of the mail of May 5th. The fine clipper ba'rk Yankee, Capt. Smith, ar rived on the 18th, in 11 days from San Francisco.

By this arrival we have tho New'York mail of May 5th, and advices from Liverpool to the 23d of April, lo days later than previous advices.

The Bank of England had lost 50,000.

The news was somewhat unexpected, as many had made up their minds, that with the death of the. Emperor, peace would follow. Our thanks are due, for favors received, to Capt. Smith, of the Yankee, to the People's and to Wells, Fargo Expresses, to J. AV.

For some of your Acts I thank you in common with the meanest of my subjects, for they embrace the inter ests of all.

Newlw admitted elements of action have operated up on you, and given to certain or your measures a vitali ty that authorizes mc to hope much for the future. or the relief you have given to the estate of my Predecessor, for the feeling of respect and love evinced by you in assuming with alacrity, the expenses of his obsequies; and for the loyalty you have shown towards me, and my faintly, I thank you. Mixed with many circumstances that wnlal way make the session of 1855 pleasant to reflect upon, there is one that in it overshadow it forever in the minds of us all. The death of His Excellency Paki, has stamped this year, and, indeed, removed a pillar of the State. From your own feelings on the loss of that high chief and staunch Hawaiian, you may judge of mine.

May the Almighty have us iu His keeping, and bless, and perpetuate the Hawaiian Nation. Nobles aud Leprestntativcs, I regret that you have not been able to agree upon the details of the Appropri ation Bill. Therefore, in the exercise of my Constitutional prero gative in such a case, I feci it my duty to dissohe you Hd you are hereby uissolveu. Rendezvous for Governor lligler in his late Message to the LegislaJ ture or California urges the importance of measure- tending to render ban raucisco a place of rendeivou for the Pacific Whaling fleet. The Governor makes ma ny favoring suggestions ou the subject, yet on the other hand there are objections to the proposed project whicl for the presept at least we think may outweigh the ad vantage which he so fully sets lorth in an attractive light.

We give the material portion of the Messago iu another column. The above is from tho New Bedford Whaleman's Shipping List of April 23. Geo. Bigler as well as a portion of the San Fran cisco press, have been driving away at the point of tryiDg to entice the Pacific whaling fleet to the port of San Francisco, as their general place of re emit for a long time past; and in their zeal to ef fect this end, they have outraged facts, and in many statements, have endeavored to depreciate the is lands and to exalt themselves. 4 We have not thought it worth our while to ex pose what we have seen of an untruthful character, not do we now deem it necessary.

That "there are objections to the proposed project," is patent to all owners and captains of whaleships; and we imagine the time is not very near, when whaling owners will trust their ships in a port like San Francisco, for more reasons than one relating to crews. A whaleship without a crew, -or with a crew at San Franciseo prices of seamen's would soon wind up the business; and every captain in the Pacific knows this. 5 15 1 3 a. to oooioutoCKCiiosAa -J PI 5 2 s- 3. 2 2 si a v.
