Gordon, Governor of Fiji, for a man-of-war to investigate the matter. INTERPROYINCIAL. [PEB PBEBS AGENCY.] Wellington, January 18. H.M. Nymph arrived from Sydney this evening.

Your correspondent had an opportunity of reading a letter addressed to the editor of the " Telegraph," in which the writer, an immigrant by the Renfrewshire, quotes from his diary of the voyage. If the statements contained in the letter are true, or only half true, the proceedings between the single men and women on board the ship were more than disgraceful, and demand an investigation. The "Telegraph" forwarded it officially to the immigration office. Captain Russell, owing to illness, will not attend the meeting to-night. Mr Sutton will speak. A large nnmber of country settlers are in town to attend the meeting.
