WELLINGTON.

(From our oim Correspondent.)

. July 10. On the subject of the Asia’s immigrants, Mr Vogel writes to Dr Featherston thus It is difficult to believe you could sanction such emigration ; and on the other hand as difficulc to believe you could be unaware of the published proceedings of your agent, the woman Howard, whom you seem to have employed, after informing me you would not do so, At another Beard meeting legal proceedings were actually threatened in your name to enforce the completion of the miserable bargain entered into by Mrs Howard. I endeavor to think you knew nothing about the matter; but if so, how singular must be the organisation of your department, that, with proceedings so canvassed in the place, with the ship calling off the town, and, it is to be presumed, some of your officers in attendance to see emigrants off, you should have to be informed from New Zealand of what occurred under the immediate notice of your officers. I find it impossible to adequately characterise the indignation such a shipment produces, or the alarm felt at the intention which is apparent of sending further similar shipments. ” Ten days’ leave of absence is to be granted to Mr Creighton, on account of illness in his family. In consequence of the disinclination of the Government to alter representation, Mr bheehan tables a motion that it is desirable a re-adjustment of seats be made, to take effect at the general election. The Governments should take the question into consideration during the recess, and prepare a measure to submit next session.

From June 30, 1873, to October, 1873, 2,268 persons were nominated as immigrantsfrom October, 1873, to June 30 last, 14,400.* 724 nominations were cancelled. The* Government spent L 684 in relieving the pities of tile Surat’s passengers, No gra-

tmty is to be allowed the surgeon or officers of the Janet Court, because of an agreement with Mr Auld. The ‘N. Z. Times ’ this morning asserts that Judge Ward’s telegrams were transmitted from Wellington. A report is current, but it cannot be traced to a proper foundation, that Dr Featherston is to be recalled j Mr Vogel going Home as Agent-General, and Mr Stafford taking the Premiership.
