701 PASSENGERS. WELLINGTON, January 1. The Athenic, which arrived from London, to-day, brought 701 passengers to Now Zealand. This is-easily the greatest number that has ever come 'to these shores in one ship. Among them are nearly 600 assisted and nominated immigrants, including a large proportion of agriculural labourers, many artisans and 25 domestic servants. The latter all had friends to go to, and refused service for the time being. The Hon. R. McNab, who visited,the Athenic, considers the new arrivals a very desirable class of people.
