SKENE'S LABOR EXCHANGE.

(Received too late for publication in our last ) I 1 ' ' „ '- Dttxedin, April 2. , We, are alroady beginning to look anxiously 'fir the next, home ship with emigrants. Our oil friend the AVilliam Davie is ' likely to be tie firat ship — many will bo glad to know tint' Captain Lo^an so long-mapfVr of the j Dlnny is on his -way out to take up his abode permanently amongst us. As Commodore of ! th« Fleet, a better selection could not be made, -lieis well acquainted with the wants pf Ofago anci the mght stamp of persons, to scud out. ', Thuo is a deficiency this we«k in money i loaiis. Farm servants of the sight sort are i not to bo had. and that drawback will always j be felt, more or less until farmers a>d settlers do what ha3so often been improvised <»n them to do viz., to have homes for married lolk on their farms, so that country taught, bred and I ♦ born ploughmen may be had, it little study | given to the matter, will show that, the outlay in the matter would be small, it would repay nseir nanoßouiun ; wages navenoc clianged lo speak of, but still keep firm. Farm servants get .C 52 to £60, if married and -wife to help £60 and upwards ; skilled labour is very active and fully employed female servants still got from £30 to £40, if highly qualified £10, £io, £50, and even higher. Smart boys get about 7s to 10s. per week. Nurse girls the same. Day laborers readily get Is. If 3d, and Is Gd.,por hour, thoae who get Js Gd are' on special jobs. I ,do not hear much; of Chinese labour at present, better if we could get alone without it.
