Jackson and llussell received a letter from Mr. Eugster stating that ho had arrived homo, and had met a favourable and encouraging reception, and that many of his friends and fel-low-countrymen would return with him to New Zealand after next new year. A writer in a Melbourne journal declares "these New Zealand trains, if not wearisome to the body, like coach travelling, are tedious to the mind."
