WELLINGTON.
This day. The Agent-General, writing under date March 19, states that he has decided to entertain applications from a few married Scotchmen, who are either shepherds or farm laborers, provided they are prepared to pay the full passage money for their children, and £5 towards their own passages; he also reported that four typhus fever cases, which he mentioned last mail as having broken out among the emigrants on the Oxford, had terminated fatally. A rumour was current that the fever originated in the emigration depot. Other complaints were made by emigrants as to ship's provisions, &c,, into which he was making a full enquiry, and he would not express any opinion at pre« sent, beyond that some of the complaints appeared tobim well founded, while others were frivolous and much exaggerated. His reason for suspending emigration* an* til after June is that the people may not be arriving in the colony in the winter.
