The Timber Contract with the English Government.
It now appears that the timber contract which Mr Thomas Eussell has concluded with the English Admiralty is not on behalf of himself alone, but has been signed by him in conjunctioti with Messrs Stone Brothers and Mr W. C. Wilson. The amount to be supplied annually does not reach within a million feet of the stated quantity. Messrs. Stone Brothers have just suceeded in charteriDg the fine ship Diiector, 800 tons, now in Newcastle to take the first shipment home. By tho barque Lochnagar, which arrived from Newcastle today, we learn that it is likely the Director will load straight to Auckland with coals, and will then go round to the Wairoa (Kaipara) co load at Mr. Dargaville's wharf. She was to leave Newcastle about the 2Gth inst. The Director will speedily be followed by other vessels, which are now being negotiated for. Captain Kelly, of the Lochnagar, describes the Director as a fine British-American built vessel, nearly new. Captain Shamper is in command.
