TIDE OF IMMIGRATION.

[Post's iDoridon" ; Gbri-espbnden b.] Shaw, SaiviUVi ste^eir Triumph, which sails from the clocks at daylight on Sunday moi'ning next (23rd Septem ber), is literally crammed full, and already second cabin rates by this line have been raised two guineas. Should the Victory ' (as seems probable) fill equally fast, la rgeiv 'boats may be chartered.. ~ Neacly all the Jbig^steam-com-panies ate doing a great business just at present. The Orient Line have not a berth to let m one of their next three steamers,' and people who wish to secure good cabins m any of the P. and O. boats before ; Christmas "will ha y 6" i& bring : influence to bear "as- well as money. The. New Zealand Shipping Company^, steamer lonic sails from Plymouth to-morrow, ft is needless to say she carries a large cargo and full complement of passengers. Among the latter, is a gentleman, whose name I am not at liberty to mention, but whose : income exceeds .£30, 000 a year. He is accompanied by his wife, and is booked for Auckland, but does not intend todo more than spend' the English winter m, 1 your part of the world. . It is, however, something to tempt notables like Lord JRoseberry and this gentieinan to make a tour of the colony— -one never knows whafc may come of it.
