We understand that the fine Hawaiian clipper barque Hokulele, 361 tons register, which arrived a few days ago, consigned to Messrs Henderson and Macfarlane, with a cargo of timber from Puget Sound, has been purchased, ship and cargo, by Messrs Holdship and Co, of tin's city, and Mr W. J. Mcllroy, of Canterbury. The price has not transpired as terms are private. This vessel was well and favorably known as the Com t, owned by J. C. Merrill, Esq, of San Francisco, between which port and Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, she traded, carrying for many«yeavs valuable cargoes of merchandise and passengers. Some idea of the favor in which this vessel was held by the travelling public may bo gathered by an inspection ot' her commodious saloon with state room aud cabins on deck capable of accommodating' 50 first-class passengers, and fitted up in the most elegant manner with every comfort necessary for the enjoyment of passengers travelling- in warm latitudes. Her presence in these waters is owing-to her late owners being compelled to withdraw her from the, line of sailing packets in that trade, in consequence of the competition established by the present line of American and New Zealand mail steamers, calling at Honolulu. As a proof of the ' sailing powers of the vessel it. maybe mentioned that during her voyage to Auckland on her last trip Captain Shepherd reports that she frequently logged 280 miles within the twenty-four hours. Some six [ months ago the Hokulele received a thorough overhaul, was re-fastened and re-coppered at a large expense, and re classed Al American Lloyds register: '• We are informed that it is the intention of her new owners to employ this latest addition to our colonial mercantile marine in the intercolonial ' trade, for which she is admirably adapted, and in which, we trust, she is certain to become a profitAble investment to the purchasers.
