A detailed statement as to the classes of immigrants and the centres to which , they are going has been supplied by the Under-Secretary for Immigration, Mr. H. D. Thomson. This shows that those nominated in the ordinary way totalled 22 men, 39 women, and 31 children; those coming under the overseas settlement j scheme, but afeo nominated from New , Zealand, 52 men, 24 women, and 26 child- j ren; and those coming out under the overseas scheme only, 41 men, 17 women, and 19 children. The Auckland quota included six men, 14 women, and six children, nominated; 14 men, five women, and four children, under tho two headings; and 15 men, fivo women, and five children, under tho overseas settlement scheme only. " All the immigrants are carefully listed in the books of the department, together with the names of the persons nominating them, the places where thoy aro to be mot, and the addresses to which they aro going," stated Mr. Thomson. " Thoy have all got work and homes to go to before they leave Britain; except the domestics, who are placed by the department. We have no difficulty, in placing the domestics. They are all practically gono this afternoon. Indeed, they are nearly all placed before tho boat gets hero. They were all a very happy family coming out, and arrived fit and well, in spito of tho rather rough wcathor experienced at times. "Wo cashed over £4000 of English notes all in £1 and 10s notes, and that shows that the people are not without monoy. , . w . " The next boat coming out is the Waimana, with about 900 immigrants. She roust be at Panama by now, I think, Ihe Waimana will bo the last of the special boat* arriving here till next sprmg-the last of these special boats chartered tor immigrantfl and carrying no other passengers." ________——-
