ORR inferf-iand trade during the week has been a good deal
interrupted by the prevalence Of strong southeriy "inds' 'nA'
have prsvenrei our coasters from leaving here for domestic
ports
We have received files Of Australian and New Zealand pa
per. per Ne5SasEG that arrived Oh the 18th inst, with Colonial
d,te< Cd TO the 18th % November from Sydney, and December
"a from AurkIani. From our exchanges we note the general
markets 70 b. quite active, but 6r some unexplained reasons
Hawaiian sugar doe not seem to ueet with a due appreciation
Of its excellence We clip the following from Auckland:

We have heard it stated that the commissions charged in
colonial ports for selling. &c, are eNOrbitant, and that unless
they are materially reiuei, eonsgnments from here cannot
be nade to any advantage 10 the shipper However, as trade
increases composition VII undoubtedly set in, and establish
cheaper rates Tor brokerage
The subsidy question seems to have assumed such a phase
with our southern ~neighbors, as to lead Us to presume that
Sydney viii be left out in the cold, until such time a. she sees
IL TO pay for having the Webb line touch ai her port
The mmored revival Of the Hall line from New Zealand TO
san francisco probably originates with some one with whom
the wish Is father to the thought Mr.. Webb has probably by
this time secured the desired 100000 from the Australian
Governments, and in a short time We may expect 10 see addi-
tionaI vessels Of his line IN our harbor.
kpropos Of the Australian line Of steamers creating traffic
between the colonies and these islands, We find The following in
the 5. +. Bulletin Of a late date We may add, however,
that the importation Of containers for our sugars Is yet an ex-
pertinent. and as such will remain undecided until after The
barrels have been thoroughly tried, it being well known that
the majority Of New Zealand woods suitable Otherwise for the
purpose, are strongly aromatic.
There has lately occurred in New Zealand, an apt and strik-
ing illustration Of the manner in which ntercommunicato
betseeu Two peoples fosters and creates trade Previous 10
the establishment Of the Webb line Of steamers, there was but
little intercourse between the Sandwich Islands and the above
named colony, and consequently, it never occurred 10 The New
Zealand coIonists that they had in their forests a product
nunerauye trade, In Honolulu there exists an annual demand
for about 100000 barrels, in which the sugar grown on the Ha-
sent from Boston. around Cape Horn, and IL occurred TO a Mr..
Raley, an enterprisng citizen Of Auckland, who learned this
Zealand was more hvorabIy situate 10 supply this market
than Boston lie tried the experiment at nst with a small
tory, made successfully larger and larger ONES. So good are
The promises Of this trade that Mr. Railey is DOW erecting IN
Auckland premises with powerful machinery, 50 that tie pro-
duetion Of the barrels may he as cheap as possible
While We cannot rejoice at any trade leaving our country for
business into the cheapest market. Unless Boston can supply
these sugar-barrels at as low, or lower rate than New Zealand,
the citizens Of the Hub must be content TO see the business
take a new direction New Zealand, by this trade, will get a
Australian colonies TO subsi lie the new route, and the press
Of Auckland predicts that ere long other industries will he in

opened up By these mail steamers.
