San Francisco, March 2nd.
The steamer Moses Taylor arrived to-night from Honolulu, She brings dates to February 15th.
The Hawaiian Gazette of February 15th says: A strong effort is being made to revive the project of a reciprocity treaty with the United States.
At the present time a large portion of the sugar crop which would otherwise go to California goes to New Zealand and British Colombia, breaking up trade with San Francisco. There is a report that i ihe Hawaiian Government is willing to cede a large section of land near Pearl Bay to the United States, on condition that we establish a coaling station at that point.
The sugar market is much depressed on account of low prices in the United States, particularly in California. It has not been as greatly depressed since 1868.
The Commercial Advertiser of February 15th discusses the question of annexation with the United States, it strongly opposes the proposition.
At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of Honolulu held February 12th, a resolution was adopted to appoint a committee to confer with the government to see if a treaty of reciprocity can be entered into with the United States. A committee of five was appointed.

The Australian steamer Moses Taylor cast loose her linves yesterday afaternoon and sailed away on her journey to Honolulu, but did not cross the bar. During the fore part of the day there was a strong wind from the southwest, adn in the afternoon it chopped around to the northwest, making the bart extremely rough. When Captain Blethen reached the bar he did not like the appearance of things, so he turned back and dropped anchor in Saucelito roads, where he will remain until this morning when he will proceed to sea.
