(From our own Correspondent.)

THE PROSPECTS OF THE FIJI BANK

MR VOGEL'S POLYNESIAN SCHEME.

Itevuica, July, 29. Theee is little news of importance to com municate. We were all pleased to see the Star of the South, and our old friend Captain Farquhar, after her long trip soathward. The surveying ship Challenger arrived from New Zealand, via Tonga, yesterday. She brings no news worth communicating, and after coaling will continue her cruise.—Her Majesty's ship Dido is away at Wallace Island to render what assistance may be necessary to the stranded steamer reported by the mail boat on her last trip from San Francisco. From information we have re ceived here by the Wesleyan Mission ship, John Wesley, the wreck will no doubt turn out to be a French man-of-war, which was to visit the Catholic mission there with the bishop. Everything is quiet in Levuka, but there is a certain soundness in all transactions of a commercial kind, which will tend to create confidence, and lend a stimulas to future transactions. —The first cargo of our own made sugar arrived in Le vuka, from Suva yesterday, and it is a splen did sample, but there is yet room for im provement in its manufacture. We have had a few sugar men amongst us lately, all of whom are very extravagant in their opinion of Fiji as a sugar-producing country, pronouncing it the finest in the world, &c. Our first crop of sugar in bulk is of as great an importance to us as was the fjrafc retorting from the Caledonian gold mine with you, and I may add that our " prospect" is much batter than yours, as ours is inexhaustible. — The Fiji Banking Company seem to be doing a considerable business, and I may say an increasing one, as I notice they have increased their staff. I notice the shares are quoted at 55s in Auckland, but I think shareholders should be careful how they part with valuable property, for the Fiji Bank is no Green Harp swindle.—The accountant of the Bank, Mr K. M. Simpson, who is respected by a large circle of friends both in New Zealand and Fiji, was united to no less a person tbaa our worthy mayor s (Mr O. Oudlipldauehteryesfcerday.— News of annexa tion is anxiously expected, and some curiosity is manifested as to what your premiers scheme will turn out to be. Of one thing we are certain, that it is no petty scheme but some gigantic undertaking, which, m all probability, will never ripen and bear fruit. However, it will not do to throw cold water oranysehemej which has the teadeaey to

benefit the two countries. If Mr Vogel would lend his influence to induce the steamers to call at Levuka instead of Kan davu, he would confer a benefit on com merce generally. Mr J. rL. Butters, the late speaker of our now defunct Parliament, is a passenger to Auckland via the Stsr of the South, en route for Melbourne, via Welling ton. Be _is a gentleman of considerable talent, ability, and energy combined, and we shall regret his absence from amongst us, but we trust " it will not be for ever."
