RESIGNS TION OF CAPTAIN j ENGLAND. ! CHRISTCHURCH, March 9. On being seen by a Press reporter ihis afternoon, Captain England made the following statement: — ; You may announce my resignation as commander of the Nimrod on the grounds of ill-health. I shall remain in charge until the ship is passed over to the agents here. My future movements are very uncertain, but I shall probably remain here for a considerable time. It is improbable that the Nimrod will bo despatched on magnetic survey work, as was originally intended, nor Will she visit Sydney and Melbourne as was expected.
