TRADE WITH FIJI.
A new trade is about to be opened between the principal ports of this colony, and the Fiji Islands. An arrangement has been effected between the Government and the Auckland Steam Packet Company, by which the latter have undertaken to establish an interim service to Fiji, consisting of four trips, one in every six weeks. The steamer will start from Auckland, and call at Napier, "Wellington, Lyttelton, and Port Chalmers, thence back to Auckland, calling at the same ports on her way. Prom Auckland she will proceed direct to Fiji, from which place she returns to Auckland and goes down South as before. The Company have sent home an order for a new (screw) steamer of about 500 tons, with all the latest improvements. She is intended for the Fiji trade, but she will be of a class sufficient to visit New Caledonia and the Samoan Islands. In the meantime the "Star of the South" will perform the service. This steamer left "Wellington on the 26th instant, on her downward trip to Lyttelton and Port Chalmers, from which place she will return to Auckland, and proceed thence direct to Fiji. No doubt a large and profitable trade between this country and Fiji will be created by the new service. We may expect that oranges and other tropical fruite will henceforth be much cheaper in New Zealand than they have been.
