WELLINGTON.
Steam: Communication with Melbourne.— Last night his Honor sent down a message to the Council'urging them to enable him to take advantage of the disposition of the Melbourne Chamber of Commerce, to establish Steam Communication between their Colony and New Zealand. His Honor proposes that the Council should vote a subsidy of £2000 to be used in case of need to supplement the grant of ,£6OOO proposed to be given by Melbourne. The sum proposed to be voted by the Council is little more than that now paid for the conveyance of the mails from Melbourne by sailing packets.— lndependent, Aug. 11.
