REGULATIONS FOR IMMIGRATION TO NEW ZEALAND.

The prorriuent part taken by the Hon. Mr Ballance m bringing about a new Bystem of nominated immigration is, we think, suffi. j cieut excuse for our reprinting here the regulations as they appear in the last Gazette .-—lmmigration Office, Wellington, 28th September, 1885. Nominated Immigration.—l. Persons in the colony who are desirous of nominating their friends in the United Kingdom for passages by direct steamers to New Zealand can do so upon forms which will be supplied on application to the Immigation Officers at Auckland Napier, New Plymouth, Wellington, Nelson Blenheim, Chnstchurch, Dunedin, Invercargill, or Hokitika, either personally or by post. Applications will be considered in the following order :— Nomination of separated families where relatives nominate relatives ; nomination of single women who are not included in tha above classes. Payment in cash must be made in the colony at the following rates, which will cover all charges for passages, outfit, tod expenses in depot, namely :— All persons over 12 yeara of age, £10 : children under 12 yeers of age, £5 ; infants under 1 year, free.. Under no circumstsnees will promissory notes be accepted. As a rule nominations will only be accepted for agricultural labourers, and single women suitable for domestic service. Nominations of tradesmen and mechanics will only be provisionally accepted, subject to the approval of the Hon. Minister for Immigration, who will not grant passages unless under very exceptional circumstances: Emigration of Farmeks and AGuicr/LTu-

2. The Agent-General will provide passages for a limited number of persons who may be desirous of taking up land in New Zealand at the same rates as are required to be paid by persons nominating their friends in the colony, namely £10 for each adult, and £5 for each child between the ages of one and twelve years. Before passages will be provided, however, each head of a family must prove to the satisfaction of the Agent' General that he is poeseased of £100 in cash, and that he is also possesaed of cash equal to the sum of £50 for each member of hia family over twelve years of age. Persotia desirous of doing so can arrange to come out in the second olasa on the above terms by an additional payment equal to the difference between the cost of steerage and aecond-clasa passages.— J. Ballance, Minister of Lands and Immigration.

We have to call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of the Sydney and Auckland Clothing and Drapery Company, which appears in thia issue.

Our Normanby correspondent wires us today to the effect that incited by Parihaka natives the Maoris have determined to occupy land rented to Europeans. They have already begun to plant potatoes on such land near Waingongoro. (This we may say lacks official confirmation).

In our report of the arrangements carried out on Saturday, we neglected to mention that Mr J. S. Smiley provided the carriages for His Excellency and the Borough Councillors. These were everything that could be desired, and certainly reflected great credit on the eatablisnment which turned them out.

No little amusement was caused last evening afc fcha Parliamentary Union by one of the Ministers turning tail oii his colleagues and leaving the Ministerial seats. By post this morning the ex-honorable received a specimen of natural Instory in a ve at little box, which he will doubtless place amongst his curios as a reminiscence of his first "ratting. The rodent forwarded him is, we are glad to say, stuffed and mounted, so that the recipient is spared all trouble on the ground of stuffing. °

A meeting of teachers will be held in Wauganui shortly to consider the following extract from Inspector Bindon's last report to the Board :— "I think a great deal of good might be done by the establishment of a Teachers Library in Wanganni, ia which works of reference, and the beat literature of the day would be kept. The books could be lent for a stated period, and could be franked to any school in the district. Aa effort should be made to cultivate amongat our pupil teachers a taßte for reading good books, as distinguished from the sensational works for which many our young' people ahow Bach a fondness, and for a perusal of which, life is to shojet. The constant reading of text-book isliable to cause a distaste for the very appearance of a book, a feeling which some acquaintance with the best authors would very speedily remove. I recommend this matter of a Library to the consideration of the Teachers' Association
