Sydney, Jan. 12.

The Director of the Immigration Bureau states that in connection with the reported difficulty of placing in situations the Anglo-Indians sent by Gaptain Holden, that no trouble exists so far as the Government system is concerned. On Monday 389 assisted immigrants landed from the steamers Orvieto and Marathon, all of whom were placed on farms before nightfall at the highest rates of wages. The State could absorb increased shipments of skilled agricultural immigrants. The Bureau had found work also for a number of Captain Holden's Anglo - Indians. The trouble arising over the others is their unfitness for or unwillingness to take what work is offering. The Butherglen bug is causing serious damage to the potato crops in some districts. . . .
