THE UNITED STATES, NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALASIAN STEAM PACKET LINE. THE NORTH PACIFIC TRANSPORTATION COMPANY of San Francisco having entered into a contract with the Honorable the Postmaster-General of New Zealand for the conveyance of Mails between San Francisco, Honolulu, Fiji, Auckland Wellington, Lyttelton and Port Chalmers, and vice versa, the dates of sailing will be from Port Chalmers on the Ist and from Auckland on the 7th of every month, to commence from Port Chalmers on the Ist of April next. The Service will be performed by the Powerful Side-wheel Steamers the 'NEBRASKA,' 2143 Tons Register, 'NEVADA,' 2143 Tons Register, 'DAKOTA,' of 2153 Tons Register, all built in 1865, under official supervision, and classed extra Al at American Lloyds. For Passenger accommodation these vessels are unsurpassed by any afloat. Perfect arrangements have been made to connect with the Pacific Railway, and with the magnificent lines of steamers running between New York and England. Passengers will be booked right through. Firsc-elass fare, from all ports in New Zealand to England, including the use of the celebrated Silver Palace Cars over the American Continent, will not exceed £85. Second—and third-class passengers will be taken at proportionately low rates. Return tickets at a reduced rate will be issued, and passengers will be allowed to remain over at any and all ports and stations called at. The contract time between San Francisco and Auckland, and vice versa, is 24 days. Passengers who may desire to proceed right through will reach England within 40 days from Auckland. Every exertion will be made to make this the popular passenger route. Arrangements will be made to connect in New Zealand with the intercolonial steamers, so that Australasiaa passengers may be conveyed right through at a slight increase upon New Zealand rates. Fuller particulars will be given in a future advertisement.
