Ihe contract for the Siui Francisco Mail was only completed at Sydney on Oct. om oWin o to the sailing of the Macgregor Ihe arrangements are that the two Colonies shall, at their joint cost, maintain a temporary set vice, the boats calling at Auckland on the upward and downward trips. That the two Governments shall wait to recover the penalties due by sureties for breach of the contract made for the temporary services by Messrs Hall a j Fprbcs > a ud that as soon as Messrs Hall and Forbes make default in carrying out the permanent contract the two Colonies shall join m , establishing the permanent service on the original basis of alternate through boats to each Colony. This was the only practicable step open under the circumstance, owing to the want of boats, and the cost which would have been entailed had there been aqy. Therefore the Sydney boat wiR call at Auckland to repeive and land New Zealand passengers and mails each way. It is surmised that the cause of delay in completing arrangements has been that great outside pressure has been put on the New South Wales Government to throw New i Zealand over, and establish the service direct to Sydney with the view to secure to Now South Wales the whole advantages of bavin® the through shipments to and from Sydney’ and in the hope that New Zealand would be compelled to take a branch service from Fiji. {From our own Oorrcspondeni.) -me, -x October 31.

The British Parliament, which gave these liberties thought them so valuable that in each amending Act it made them more secure. Pray telegraph as Superintendent to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and point btit the course proposed to be taken is unconstitutional,

and pray that no action be taken until a new election and the Provinces have been heard. Parliament will at oned accede to this.” - Napibb, October 81. A Court of Inquiry ‘Will be held next Mondaydetermine the capability of the captain of the Rosalia to continue in command.
