The New Zealand Freight Company are to be congratulated upon the success which has followed on their firmness and determination not to be beaten by Messrs Shaw, Saville, and Co., who certainly have left no effort untried to upset the opposition and maintain the monopoly of their own lino. An arrangement has been made with Messrs Galbraith, Stringer, Pembroke, and Co., under which the Hilton Castle has been chartered as tho pioneer vessel of the new line. The freight charged is stated to be slightly higher to shippers than that which Messrs Shaw, Saville, and Co. were induced'to adopt, either to crush out opposition or to persuade the company to allow them to continue their monopoly. The circular we have thought right to publish, closes its remarks by saying, “ The rates charged on goods per Hilton Castle represent the fair ratio that should exist between Australian and New Zealand freights, owing to the greater cost of charter to our ports ; and when more favorable rate;; of charter are obtainable, lower rates ot freights will be charged. ’'—Ai/rkhnid Herald.
