Frisco Mail Service.
Wellington, February 25. The Alameda's voyage, just completed, of 18 days 3 hours from San Francisco to Auckland, is her best performance since 1890, when she performed the voyage in the same time.

Ihe quickest voyages made from San Francisco to Auckland by each of the steamers employed in the service are as follows : —
