A comparison of the conditions of tho trade of the Friendly Islands hetween New Zealand and Australia, is made in a letter received recently in Auckland from a trader in Tonga (says the "Herald"). She writer states that the whole trade of the islands was going to Sydney. As an instance, he stated that, he could land at Tonga biscuits from Melbourne at 15s. 6d. per tin of 401b., whereas from Auckland the landed cost was 235. He concludes: "This was only one of dozens of lines."

A long trip is being made by the Weßtland Shipping Company's Paoroa from Wellington to Hokitika,' for which port the vessel left Wellington on Saturday night, 'i'ne vessels only arrived at Westport, at 6 p.m. - yesterday, having put in there for shelter from tnc weather, which without doubt has so delayed her. Tho Maori did not arrive at Lyttelton until 10 a.m. on Thursday, being over three hours late. The vessel met the full force of the gale after leaving Wellington, aud had to battle hard to cross tho Strait. About 2 o'clock the wind dropped somewhat, and better progress was made. When the vessel reached the harbour Captain Manning found it necessary to drop tho starboard anchor when ho waß about 20 yards from the wharf, as the strong wind prevented the vessel being berthed in the usual manner. A line was got to tho wharf and the ferry boat, was safely worked into hor berth. From Auckland direct tho Monowai is due at Wellington oil Monday.
