The Tyser Line (Limited) have issued a circular, dated Napier, March 10, in which attention is drawn to the circular of Messrs. Arkell and Douglas, of New York, published in the HERALD' of the 9th inst. Regarding the remarks of Messrs. Arkell and Douglas,

as to freight issues, the Tysei line say:- " The writers of this circular could not have given us a better testimonial, nor could they havo hit upon a more complete justification of our entering upon the carrying trade from New York to the Australasian colonies. In our circular letter of December 14 last, we assured merchants that we would take care that the rates of freight quoted by our steamera were moderate and reasonable, and it was upon these grounds that we solicited your support. Messrs. Arkell and Douglas are reluctantly forced to admit in their market report that rates have been kept down through our action, and we have no hesitation in repeating our assurance that wa mean to continue with unabated vigour our efforts to uphold the cause of legitimate trade between New York and the Australasian colonies. We are pleased to be able to report that our colonial friends are loyally supporting us, and that our s.s. Hawke's Bay, which sailed from New York on January 31, as well as our s.s. Queen Eleanor, which left there for Melbourne, Sydney, and New Zealand ports on March 1, were both full ships. We are now hooking cargo for our s.s. Ardandearg, to sail from Sew York at the end of March, and our s.s. Tomoana will follow as our April despatch. Merchants can rely upon our making further arrangement! in amnio time to cover the New York berth, after the loading of the above steamers is completed, and we take this opportunity of thanking all our supporters for the assistance afforded us so far. At the same time, we be; to remind you that it is important not to relax our combined efforts, and we would ask you to send Stringent instructions to youi American agents to hook space foi your goods by our steamers with Messrs Flinch, F.dye, and Co., Produce Exchange. New York, at the earliest possible moment. We bate our claim for your support upon the facts that we are simply carriers, having no interest whatever, either directly or indirectly, in merchandise shipped by our steamers, that we ship no goods to the colonies on our own account, do not enter into competition, either directly or indirectly with colonial merchants, and that the New York firms recommended by us are commission agents only, who are prepared to credit you with every rebate or discount recovered by them, merely charging a commission on the amount of their purchases on clients' account. We feci confident that by employing the legitimate commission agents recommended by us, with instructions to ship your goods by our steamers, you will maintain youi independence, secure freedom from undesirable competition, and assist in keeping rates of fteight at a moderate level, which will contribute towards the gradual and beneficial extension of trade relations between the United States of America and the Australasian colonies.
