NEW ARRIVALS.
A SUPERIOR CLASS OF MEN
[BY TELEGRAPH.—OWX COIIBESrONSENT.]
Dr.vEiu.v. Friday. Dnnixp the hot fair months, Mr. Mack-ay, of the Labour Department, states, quite a large numbrr of people have arrived in the colony from England looking fur work. Most of them, so far as the knowledge of the Labour Department goes, have succeeded in getting work, if not at their own particular lines at something else. Mr. Mackay was struck, in Wellington especially, by the superior class of these men. Although they had been in better positions they were prepared to tackle anything that came along, and they succeed in consequence. There were some of the useless sort, but remarkably few compared with those who used to come years ago. Many of the young fellows had a slight experience of Old Country farming, and pressed a little capital, intending to take tip land.
