I>RK3g AGENOT."! Wellington, Saturday night. Mr Neilson, scratched Fish-hook at 330 this afternoon for all his Wellington engagements. b 6 Xyttelton, Saturday night Arrived— Northern Monarch from London wiili 35(i Government immigrants, 92 days out. She has been placed in quarantine, two cases of measles being at present under tr. atment, and eight deaths having occurred f roin measles during the passage. Foxtox, Saturday night. There is no doubt whatever that the Glenelg will not get over the bar before four or nve days as there is only about six feet of water, and it does not matter whether she throws out her sand ballast or not. Had the leiican not gone ashore yesterday, the bl.nelg must have gone as the bar had silted up very quickly. The Captain of the Pelican is making <>nquiries for men and appliances to Re t her off, but it is thought so much time will be consumed over this that the risk is too great. The general opinion is that he should get out an anchor and shovel enough coal overboard to lighten her, and next tide she would probably get off.
