THE ATHFNIC'S IMMIGRANTS. WELLINGTON, January 1.
(.
The Athenic, which arrived from London to-day, brought 701 passengers to New Zealand. .This is easily the greatest number that has ever come to these shores in one ship. Among them are nearly 600 assisted and nominated immigrants, including a large proportion of agricultural labourers, many artisans, and domestic servants. The latter all had friends to go to, and refused service for the time being.
