BIMIGRATION.

We are happy to learn that there is every prospect not only of a renewal of immigration through former channels, but of an influx of capital and labour through new and hitherto unatterapted sources. The civil wars of America have closed up one great field for the absorption of the redundant populations of Europe, aud the eyes of many are being turned with anxious consideration towards the great and obvious capabilities of New Zealand. Throughout Great Britain, the departure of the first division of Nonconformists has been an event which has set working men a-thinking, and there is a growing desire to follow the example set in a largely progressive scale. If the body, who may be immediately looked for, shall carry out the ur dertaking as successfully here, as they have conducted it energetically at home, the result to New Zealand cannot bo otherwise than most advantageous. There were six large ships, the greater portion of them from 1000 to 1300 tons register, loading at London for Auckland at the date of our last advices. And, we rejoice to see that the Liverpool “ White Star Line” has not altogether cut the painter, but that, under the prospect of pacific influences, the Shalimar, commanded by Captain Alien, formerly of the Shooting Star, was advertized to sail for Auckland, via Melbourne, on the 20th August, to be followed by the Blue Jacket, Captain White, on the 20th October. Besides this, there is every prospect of emigration from Germany being set on foot upon a sound aud systematic basis. Messrs. John Cesar Godeffroy and Son of Hamburgh, —a world renowned firm who have achieved so much in introducing German colonists to the Cape of Good Hope, South Australia, Victoria,- and New South Wales are turning their attention towards New Zealand. One of their ships the Adolphe, Captain Kross, reputed to be a very fine and fast vessel, was to have sailed from Hamburgh, for Otago and Auckland with goods and passengers in July last, to be followed, at regular intervals, by other vessels of then fleet, the successive ships probably alternating in their first port of arrival, say to Otago aud Auckland, aud Auckland and Otago. Mr. Charles Petschler of Auckland has been appointed agent for the Messrs. Godeffroy, by whom he has been empoweied to issue passage tickets, aud to facilitate the conveyance of relatives and friends by those who may desire to bring them hither; as well as to make arrangements for the introduction of farm labourers, household servants, mechanics and others. In this business the Messrs. Godeffroy have been preeminently successful. By contract with the Capo colonists from 3000 to 4000 Germans were introduced into that country with the nipst satisfactory results. Through thl
