NEW YORK, June 24.-The Tribune saws tbat
Thomas Russell, Commissioner from Australia and
New Zealand, who has been in this country for
some time past, sailed On Saturday, having accom-
pIIshed the purpose of his mission. He came with
authority from the Governments which he repre-
sented to contract for the establishment of a first
class line of steamers between San Francisco. Ho-
nolulu. New Zealand and other South Pacific ISL
2nds. making the round trip IL about one month.
The Tribune reporter questioned Russell as to the
results OF his negotiations, and received the follow
ing brief statement: He had consulted several
prominent fnanciers in reference to the matter
among whom were General Burnside and Thomas
A. Scott, and proposals had been made by them
which. though they involved u larger expenditure
OF money by his Governments than they had orig
lnally contemplated, he considered so favorable
that he believed that contracts would be COMPLETED
at an early day. Russell was asked whether the
line would be American. and he answered that as
it was desired that boats should be put on the route
as soon as possible after the completion of the con-
tract, probably English-built vessels wouId he
chartered tor the first year, at the end of which
time American-built iron propellers would be ready
for sea they are to be OF two thousand tons, and
are TO make twelve knots per honr. Russell was
gratlded at the manner with which be had been met
by the business men with whom he had negotiated.
and believed that the guarantees which they were
able 10 furnish his Governments were such that
they would be willing TO pay more than they bad
at first intended. Their experience in the past had
not been pleasant in this respect enterprises hav-
ing been started and then allowed 10 fail. He said
that 1t would be difficult TO designate the particular
kind of commerce which would be built up by the
proposed line, but that machinery, agricultural i'm
plements, hardware of all kinds, petroleum. ETC.,
wOuld be taken from the United States, and fine
wool, fax. ETC.. would be returned. There would
also be 4 large trade between the different islands
in cotton. sugar, coffee. etc. He said there were
10000 ~drst-class passengers travelling between the
Colonies and England. most of whom would prob
ably travel by the new route, thus exchanging the
voyage and the interesting trip across the Ameri-
can continent.
