COLONIAL

WEST INDIES.--GutANA.—An important men
mare passed the legislature on the 16th of March. From and
after the Ist of April, 1847, proprietors of estates engaging
immigrants for terms of six or twelve months are bound to
find regular medical attendance, and ample hospital accom-
modation for them. Boards of superintendence, consisting
of two stipendia-y magistrates and justices of the peace, are
appointed to see that estates hospitals are properly conducted,
and have in the different districts the right of visiting these
establishments at all hours of the day. These boards may
issue summary ',smuts fur levying on the chattels
of each plantation, its owner or his representatives, to
purchase any supplies of furniture or medicine found
wanting. 'This excellent ordinance gives planters a
direct pecuniary interest in keeping their labourers
in good health. It is but just to add that this ar-
rangement her all *long been contemplated by the
promoters of systematic (tootle immigration, and would have
been in force from the beginning but for the wanton
obstructions thrown in the way of the scheme by hollow pro-
fessors of humanity.
TRINIDAD.—The attorney-general, on the 16th
of March, introduced in council an ordinance for dividing
the colony into divisions, counties, districts, and wards ; for
the appointment of executive officers within the same; and
for defining the powers and duties of these officers. An
ordinance for the more speedy and effectual recovery of quit
rents was on the same day read a first and second time, and
committed. These are important steps towards the organisation
of a colony destined, beyond a doubt, to be the great empo-
rium of the regions watered by the Orinoco. A dispatch
from Earl Grey, read at the same meeting of the
council, acknowledging receipt of the revised stand-
ing rules of the board and its committees, con-
. tamed the important suggestion that the council should,
like the houses of assembly in the chartered colonies, sit
• from day to day until all business was disposed of.

EDUCATION PLAN.
The annual meeting of this institute wan held yes-
terday at the St. Edward's School-rooms, Great Windmill-
street. The Earl of Shrewsbury presided. The report was
read by Dr. Ferguson, the secretary. It rated that the
committee lamented the destitution of an immense number
of catholic children, who were likely to lose the benefit of
education. The contributions for the present year were, sad
to say, far below the sum collected in former year, amount-
ing only to 1,8221. 16s. lid., wares' in 1846 they had
