and who had not committed theInsevcs on eicr sde. Ae soon as the missionaries could assrmhla from the dirrcnt islands they met aa llonoFuru. They sent note. requesting that committee of m equal number from both bodies might be appointed, to arrange the manner in which the interview should be conducted. This proposal rejected by the British Consul, who seemed lo act as leader of the opposition; and who named time and place at which he and his friends would expect meet the missionaries in body. In this manner they did meet, Capt. Jones and his oiii cers with oft chiefs of the island, being pres cnt; also, many foreigners spectators, who did not join in the accusations brought.

 The missionaries required specific charges in wTi- ting with the of witnesses: but this was refu- sed They were told that they must vindicate them selves without such spec6catoni and that their chal- lege imported that they would take thisground. Capt Jones called for the reading of the challenge; and the necessity of specifying the charges was apparent to all. Still, no charges were made, or atcmpted.- The foreigners then said the ascendancy of the mis- sionares the natives such that no one dared give his testimony. The missionaries replied, we do want Le gGk evidence: but any evidence that would have influence on candid and judicious men. This too refused; and nothing was offered, but some violent and scurrous yuperation of the missionaries And thus ended the interview.

 Capt. Jones' subsequent conversation sa'd the ef- feet would be exat the the character and extend the influence of the missionaries, in the most decisive and efficient manner. He also c0lfGHdTfty addressed a letter to hem which is decidedly in their favor. It IS known that any of his officers have expressed any different opinion and there is every reason to believe that this arbitration has rolled back the tide o caum- ny and that its authors have duraby injured themselves alone.
