It took 81,000 sacks t hold the crop and they will fill about 1 3 cars, on the average of ten tons to the car. This will mafcfe eight or nine tiains of beans. But this is only from one ranch.

The United States steamer Ambatrosa arrived at San Francisco the other morn ing from Honolulu. The . steamer has been engaged in surveying the line of a cable from there to the Hawaiian Is lands, and reports that a practicable route has been found. The route has not yet been wholly surveyed,' but enough soundings have been taken to learn that it is entirely practicable. At Monterey was found the best place to land a cable on this side. - There is a gully extending up the bay, gradually shallowing from the entrance to the ih-H-e, and the landing there will be comparatively easy. At Honolulu the finding of a Uniting place was not so easy. The Islands are of a volcanic origin, and "rise abruptly out of the water, rendering a gradual approach to the land almost impossible. After re peated soundings, however, a place was found that would answer the purpose. This place is a suburb of Honolulu named Wtikikl, and about four miles south of the metropolis of the islands.
