Some account was given last week of the ceremonial which took place at Honolulu, the capital of the Sandwich Islands (Kingdom of Hawaii), on Feb. 12, when their Majesties King Kalakaua and Queen Kapiolani were crowned in presence of the chief personages of the realm, and of several thousand spectators. These found accommodation in a Grand Stand erected in front of the Royal Palace, which is a stately edifice with arcades supported by Corinthian pillars; in the centre of the inclosed space was a domed pavillion, of octagonal shape, open at the sides, and decorated with heraldic shields in colours, and with small flags of different nations. The soldiers forming the guard of honour stood close along the front wall of the Palace. Among the privileged spectators in the verandah of the Palace were the British Commissioner and Consul-General, Mr. J. H. Wodehouse, with his wife and daughter, the American, French, and other diplomatic and consular agents, and the commanders and officers of H.M.S. Mutine and other foreign ships of war. The King and Queen, with their three young daughters, were accompanied by the Marshals and Chaplain of the Household, the Chancellor (the Hon. Francis Judd), the President of the Legislative Assembly (Hon. Godfrey Rhodes), the Hon. W. C. Parke, Colonel J. H. Boyd, and the principal native officials of the Court. The Hon. J. M. Kapena, Master of the Household, made proclamation of the style and titles of his Majesty, who thereupon swore to maintain the Constitution. He recieved first the symbols of the ancient native chieftainship, afterwards the sword and sceptre, the ring and mantle of feathers, presented respectively by the Princes and nobles thereto appointed; the Chancellor, Mr. Judd, conducting these proceedings in due form. The crown was finally presented by Mr. Godfrey Rhodes, on behalf of the Legislative Assembly, with a similar crown (of gold, lined with crimson velvet) for Queen Kapiolani. The King took the first crown, and put it on his own head, and he next put the second crown on the head of his wife. A prayer and benediction having been pronounced by the Chaplain, the Rev. A. Mackintosh, the guns and ships fired a Royal salute, and the choir sang an anthem, which ended the proceedings for that day. Two days after this, there was another grand ceremony, the unveiling of the bronze statue of Kamehameha I., the founder of the Hawaiian dynasty.
