ARRIVAL OF A TROOPSHIP. AUCKLAND, August 18.
The troopship Montrose passed Cape Maria Van Diemen at 2 p.m. on Saturday. Only the Auckland contingent will land here. The Montrose proceeds south immediately with the southern contingents. It is understood that the local Defence authorities have been instructed to make official inquiries in regard to accommodation and food arrangements on the vessel, with a view to ■ending any complaints to the commission now sitting in Wellington. A report that the troopship put into Russell proves to be incorrect.
Oome uneasiness had been caused, as she had not been reported since passing Cape Maria Van Diemen on Saturday, but all thi3 was put at rest by the vessel's Arrival late to-night. She has anchored at Quarantine Island.
