SANDWICH ISLANDS. 
Boki, who had kept a journal during his residence in 
England, made very full notes of what passed at this au¬ 
dience. Since his return to his native land, he writes, that 
he has read these notes so often to the different chiefs that 
he has become very hoarse. We regret much that a copy 
of this journal was not procured while Boki was on board of 
the Blonde. 
The time the chiefs passed in England after the king’s 
death was chiefly spent in seeing different manufactories, 
and short excursions in London and its neighbourhood. 
The three superior chiefs had several interviews with Mr. 
Canning, which pleased them greatly; and, indeed, his and 
Mrs. Canning’s kindness to them in every thing was very 
great. 
All their expenses were paid by the Engiisli govern¬ 
ment. His majesty directed that suitable and useful pre¬ 
sents should be made to all the Islanders here, and others 
sent to the young king and the other chiefs, besides agri¬ 
cultural instruments, plants of useful fruits, seeds of vege¬ 
tables, and other things that might be of advantage to the 
country. The money lodged at the bank was delivered 
untouched to Boki, who, with his companions, purchased 
with it such things as they thought agreeable or useful to 
themselves or their countrymen. Liliah’s chief anxiety
