WELLINGTON.
April 22 : A numerously signed requisition has been addressed to the Deputy-Superin-tendent, requesting him to convene a public meeting for the purpose of taking steps towards pi'omoting permanent communication between Melbourne and San Francisco, calling at Wellington and Honolulu. Arrivals : 'John Knox,' from Sydney; ' Onehunga,' from Oamaru. Api'il 25 : A deputation from the Chamber of Commerce met Mr. Collie (the agent for Mr. Webbs line of American steamers) this afternoon. The interview lasted two hours. The result is considered highly satisfactory. Some valuable commercial information was obtained respecting the American demand for New Zealand produce. Mr. Collie pro- j inises to give full information on the subject at a public meeting about to be held to consider the proposed line. Mr. Hall's contract for the present mail service via Honolulu is regarded, as likely to prove a failure, owing to sufficient arrangement not having been made for the transit of mails between Honolulu and San Francisco.
