It is rumoured (says the "Otago Daily Times”) that the Union Steam Ship Company is negotiating with tho Commonwealth line with a view to putting a stop to the cutting of freights between Calcutta and New Zealand. In order to come to an agreement, it is reported that the Union Company would bo willing to grant the Commonwealth line a special freight in transhipments between Australian and New Zealand ports, providing the Commonwealth steamers guarantee not to run direct from Eastern ports to this colony. This is said to be th§ reason why some largo contracts have recently been made for Calcutta bone meal, in order to secure (he 10s freight, as against tho XI freight formerly charged. Advico has been received that the flagship Eurvalus and the Australasian squadron will arrive at Wellington about February 21st, and will stay here about a week. THE NEW MAMART.
