MELBOURNE, May 11.
The Federal Postmaster-General has arranged with the Union Company and Messrs Huddait Porker's line, for a new tri-weekly mail service between Launceston and Melbourne. It is rumoured in Federal circles that New Zealand is trying to benefit by the Commonwealth prohibiting the conveyance of mails in steamers worked by coloured labour. It is alleged that Mr Seddon has formulated a scheme, whereby uteamere, instead of coming on to Melbourne and Sydney after landing niuils at Adelaide, will go direct to New Zealand. It is probable the Federal Parliament will meet on May 26th.
