I.T will surprise our readers to learn that before the question of immigration hat) ceased to occupy the deliberations of our rulers, a movement in the opposite direction has already bcon begun. By the City of New York yosterday arrived Captain !i. W. Mist, a gentleman who is authorised by the Hawaiian Government to make arrangements here arid in the Friendly Islands for the deportation of sonic thousands of Maoris and Tongans to the Sandwich Islands, in order to reinstate the rapidly diminishing jiopuhition there. We should imagine that Captain Mist will find the Government of New Zealand very willing to assist liini in carrying out lii- ini;-;stoii. In fact it is possible that they may devise from this new enterprise a happy thought in reference to the solution of the native diHiculty. < lould not King Tawhaiao and his niyrinidons, Puiukutn, Te Kooti, and Wininta, and the discontented tribes who [loriodieally assemble and hir their yrievimce.s at ilikurangi and Te Ivuiti, and are continually repelling nil advances on the part of their would-be civilizers by the cry of "Give us back Waikato," —could not these amiable gentry be persuaded that the Sandwich Islands are a perfect nigger Utopia, when: there is any amount, of land for them to settle on. and "lashions" of rum and whisky to d'-ink, and no-hvork toj do? If Captain Mist Avill only imbue them with this belief, and get thorn to take ship for Honolulu with their tomahawks, blankets, waihenas, and piccaninnies*, we believe that the General Assembly would readily a round sum to give them a parting present, in the shape of a good lump of tobacco, and a gallon of grog each to amuse them on their voyage, and live pound note to upend when they yet to their new home. If the scheme can only bo Rucees.sfu.Uy cazried out, we will engage that no more fervent "God speed" will ever accompany the departing guests than will '«c uttered wken the last of their dusky backs is soon.
