AUCKLAND.
This day. It is probable that with the assistance of the Lord High Commissioner and the Governor of Fiji arrangements may oltimately be made by which the present monthly service may be superseded by a fortnightly semce, and farther, that the regular steam service may be instituted between Tonga and Fiji. H.M.s schooner Alaority returned yesterday from Fiji after a long absence on a surveying tour among those islands. They first heard of the murder of Lieut. Bower and several men of the Sandiy at the Solomon Islands. Upon opening the Auckland newspapers they were much shocked, as many on board were intimately acquainted with the unfortunate men who were massacred. The Alacrity is expected to remain at' Auckland two or three months to refit.
