In accordance with the President's Proclamation, Thursday the 26th ult. was observed by the American citizens of Honolulu, and those sympathizing with them. A very large assembly, composed of foreign residents and the sea-faring community, convened in Fort St. Church, at 11 A. M. A highly appropriate and eloquent discourse was delivered by the Key. E. Corwin. The singing was excellent, and the exercises generally were becoming the occasion.
Prayers, suited to the occasion, were also offered at the Reformed Catholic Church.
