We understand that negotiations are now pending between the General Government and Mr. Coleman for the establishment of the following scheme of postal service.— 1. A direct communication between Sydney and Auckland by the Lord Worsley. ; 2. 'A. direct communication between Melbourne, and Nelson, Wellington, Canterbury, and Otago ; carried'on by two steamers. The one starting fiom Melbourne on the day'after the arrival of the-English mail (say the sth of each month) and returning, to Melbourne by the 16th of the following month, in time for the despatch from Melbourne of the homeward mail. lii the meantime the second steamer would have; started on the sth of the second month with the New Zealand mails to perform the same trip. 3. An Inter-Provincial service from Manukau and Auckland,'so arranged'as to. make the trips ■of the steamer which performs this service, about intermediate between the trips of the line, No. 2, as regards the northern settlements.
