WELLINGTON.
This day.
The negotiations between this Government and that of Sydney and the Pacific Mail Company were concluded on the following basis :—The company agrees to a total subsidy of £72,500, of which Sydney pays £40,000, contingent on the ratification by Parliament, and the New Zealand Government £32,500; the steamers to call at Auckland and optionally with the company at Honolulu—not afc Fiji. By this route the New Zealand mails will be delivered about two days earlier than under the former contract. They are to be distributed from and taken to Auckland at the expense of our Government; the service to commence immediately, no more of the company's steamers coming down the coast.
