IMMIGRATION BUNGLE.
WHAT AUSTRALIA IS LOSING. HUNDREDS BLOCKED FOR WANT OF SHIPS. Nothing is more seriously impeding Australian immigration than the lack of shipping accommodation. Hundreds of farmers and others, men of just the class of which Australia, is so sorely in need, are waitiw to- leave the Old Country, but find themselves unable to do so.
These people have broken up their homes, prepared -themselves for their future sphere of labour, and are all read- to* milt the old land for the new, but are prevented from getting away for no other reason than that there are no ships available by which they can make the voyage. , The position is certaiute a serious one as.far as Australia is concerned, to say nothing of the predicament in which it places those whoso departure .is being delayed by the -want of ships. So disgusted have many intending emigrants become with the .situation that they have abandoned all intention of going to the land in which they, had decided to make their homes, and it is estimated that Australia is losing fully two-thirds of the most suitable applicants who are prepared at present to emigrate.
