No. 21. Mr. Morrison to the Hon. the Colonial Secretary. Office of the New Zealand Government Agency, Sir, — 3, Adelaide Place, King William Street, London, 22nd December, 1870. I have the honor to state that the emigrants from Denmark and Sweden, selected by order of the Hon. Dr. Featherston, have embarked in the ship " England," which sailed for Wellington on the 2st instant, and to transmit to you the enclosed papers having reference to them, viz.:— 1. Agreement for passages to AVellington. 2. List of names, ages, and occupations of emigrants from Denmark. 3. List of names, ages, and occupations of emigrants from Sweden. 4. Certificate of embarkation. 5. Copy of order for payment of balance of the passage money. 6. Statement of the expenditure in connection with the shipments per " Celoeno " and " England." The Government will have been informed that at Copenhagen Mr. Wilken Horneman, upon the recommendation of Bishop Monrad, was intrusted with the selection of the emigrants ; whilst at Gothenburg it was confided to Mr. John Millar. The number from Denmark is equal to forty-six and a half adults, and from Sweden nineteen adults, making in all sixty-five and a half adults to whom passages have been grantee". So far as the physical appearance of the emigrants is concerned, in both instances the selection seems to have been made with care ; but, contrary to express instructions, a number of single men have been sent by Mr. Horneman.

The shipping facilities at Copenhagen and Gothenburg at this period of the season being so
