(FROM GREVILLE’s TELEGRAM COMPANY, REUTER’S AGENTS.) Wellington, May 20. Despatches on the subject of immigration have been received from the Agent-General by the Suez mail. Dr. Fcatherston says his prospects of obtaining a large stream of immigration from the United Kingdom are exceedingly good. He has received numerous applications, and the tide of immigration has fairly started. The ship Halcione and a German ship leave for Wellington in April with between 200 and 300 immigrants each. Other ships will follow for other ports. A considerable number of immigrants will leave in May. The Agent-General has completed arrangements with a large German firm for direct shipments of Germans and Scandinavians to all the ports of New Zealand. A large quantity of railway plant and material is being shipped for the various ports—the quantity being fully sufficient for the requirements of the works about to be commenced. The .whole of Mr Brogden’s staff is now here engaged in taking out quantities and making estimates for tenders for the different railways. All the differences between Mr Brogden and the Government have been finally settled. It is expected Mr Brogden will tender in two or three days.
