WELLINGTON, July 14. 1 The Ar^wa, which has arrived in Wellington, brought out a large contingent of third-class passengers, who intend settling down in New Zealand. The total in this class was 270 persons, and of these 104 have been granted assisted passages. They come from all parts of the United Kingdom. Included in the list are nearly thirty domestic servants, bringing capital ranging from £2 to £10 each. A dairy fanrter arrives with £400 to his credit, and there are five farmers whose capital between them amounts to £150. A fruit-preserver and wheelwright (combined) has '£300 in hand. There joined the Arawa at Hobart a party of stalwart Tasmanian bushmen, who informed the Labor Office that they have come to New Zealand for a holiday, but that if they like the country they will remain in it. Several Wellington ladies were among the first to board the Arawa, not to welcome friends returning from the grand tour, but to interview the domestic servants. Notwithstanding tempting terms and liberal concessions as to tiire out, with' easy working conditions, the ladies were wholly unsuccessful iii their quest for domestic helpers.
