On his report to the State Department at Washington, Consul Griffon, writing from Auckland and speaking of tr-.de between New Zealand and the United States, says—- " There is probably now » better chance for direct trade between thesa countries than ever before. I don't doubt whether the new lines of sailing vessels established at Boston and New York will be successful, and there is strong reason to believe that communication between the Australian colonies and the Paciflo Coast of the United States will be much more frequent in future than at the present time, inasmuch as tha outgoing and incoming boats of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company for many months past have had considerably more freight and passengers than they should ba expeoted to oirry with safety. The company will very socn be obliged not only to supply a greater number of bjsta for this line, but much faster ones." ADDITIONAL NEWS.

It is now positively announced that the coronation of the Czar will take place at tho end cf August. The Czar has been influenced in fixing the date of the coronation for August by certain movements of the Grand Duke Constantines' party, whioh were beginning to develops themselves. The phrase, "the depositions of an uncrowned Sovereign," ■which might frequently be heard, placed the Czar somewhat in the alternative of losing either his life or the orown, and he prefers to expose the first and try to save both. We may soon expect (says the St. Petersburg ■' Herald ") grave events in Russia, for at the sound of the first revolutionary cannon that is fired, Germany, without any preliminary form whatever, will occupy tho Baltic Provinces and then annex them. This has repeatedly been told the Emperor by a number of well-informed persons.
