NAPIER.
Monday. The City of Auckland's immigrant! appear a quiet, well-behaved lot of people. When landed from the Hinemoa on Saturday they looked in a sad condition, but they spoke in high terms of the treatment they had received in Otaki, both from setters and natives. The latter in particnlar seemed as if they could not do enough for the immigrant*. The
voyage up to the unfortunate disaster had been exceedingly favourable. There was little or no sickness; there was one birth* and one death. They speak in high terms of the doctor, captain, and officers. A committee, of ladiea and'gentlemen has been formed to see to the wants of the poor people, most of whom have only the clothes they stand in. The single men and girls are not quite so badly off; but the married people, having to look after their children, could not get to save anything. It is hoped their baggage has not been lost. Subscription lists have been opened for their relief.
