According to advices Just received from Puget Sound (says the Christchurch Press) a new steamship service between. Tacoma and Australia, via Honolulu, New Zealand and Fiji, will be inaugurated next month by the well-known Australian trader Maori King, a fine steamship of 7000 tons. It is intended that the service shall be a six-weekly one,' and It is hoped that a large trade will be developed. In anticipation of heavy wool shipments from Australia and New Zealand, an English syndicate of capitalists has completed arrangements for the construction of extensive woollen mills at Chambers' Creek, Tacoma. The new line has been established by Mr R. A. Alley, of Tacoma, who a couple of years ago visited Sydney and other States, as well as New Zealand, for the purpose of ascertaining whether an opening existed -for a line of cargo steamships. It is understood the vessels of this line will not carry passengers, for the present, at any rate. The Cunard line has reduced thirdclass fares to New York, and is granting; concessions to other passengers from the Continent. The Rotoiti was to sail at 8 o'clock last evening from Nelson for New Plymouth. The Rotoiti from South will l,e met by ft train leaving at 8 a.m. to-day, and at 8.20 p.m. on her departure for Onehunga.
