[Br Telegraph.] Wellington, September 11. The Agent -General reports the departure of the following emigrant ships : —Waitangi, from Plymouth for Lyttelton, on 12th July, with 258 souls ; J. N. Fleming, from Glasgow for Port Chalmers, on the 14th July, with 249 ; and Wairoa, from Plymouth for Wellington, on 15th July, with 19 ( J. Sir Jvdius says he has so arranged the departure of the ships that, in all probability, the whole number of emigrants required for the year will have reached New Zealand by February. In selecting emigrants preference has been given to those nominated and to single women. The British Consul at Dantzic reports to the Foreign Office that the German Government has published in the official journals at Berlin and other cities of the Empire a statement pointing out in forcible language the unsuitableness of New Zealand for German immigrants, saying that those Germans who have emigrated to New Zealand have met with ouly trouble and disappointment; that the Southern provinces refusing to take them they were sent to Wellington ; and that although offered some work there by tho Government their only desire was to get back to Germany. Copy of tins having been referred to Sir Julius by the Foreign Office he refutes the allegations, and states that, none but a few Italians had not done well in the colony, and that the Italians had been aided to leave.
