JAMAICA.

From this island the intelligence is of the same
date as that brought vii New lurk by the Canada.
The despatch of Earl (key on the labour supply
question, referred to in Tuesday's Express, is pub-
lished in the Morniny Journal, occupying seven of
its columns, and being therefore very much too long
to allow of our reproducing it here. It is in reply to a
memorial addressed to the Queen by the House of
Assembly of Jamaica in December last, expressing
great alarm as to the difficulty of obtaining a supply
of labour for the cultivation of the land, which was

anticipated from the frightful mortality, principally
among the labouring classes, which has been lately
occasioned in the island by cholera, and praying that
her Majesty will order all captured Africans
to be sent to Jamaica, and will adopt such other
measures for the speedy and adequate sup-
ply of free emigrants from Africa, as her
Majesty's ministers may deem most advisable.
Earl Grey declares his anxious desire to co-operate
with the colonial legislature in the endeavour to ob-
viate the new difficulties with which the planters of
Jamaica are now threatened, and "by which the
prospect of improvement in their condition, which I
had hoped was beginning to appear, has been again
obscured," because, says his lordship,

I concur with the two branches of the colonial legislature
in believing that the aggravation of the scarcity of labour
previously existing in Jamaica, by the loss of so large a
number of labourers by the disease which has ravaged the
island is likely to prove one of the mostserious consequences
of the calamity, unless prompt measures are taken to avert
the evil. I have always been of opinion that the labouring
no less than the proprietary classes in Jamaica are deeply
interested in the success of the great branches of industry
which are carried on there, because, unless the production
of its staple articles of export can be continued with All V:111 •
tags, the most civilised of the inhabitants of the island would
have no inducement to reside in it, while their departure
could not fail greatly to retard, if not to arrest, the pro.
p•
of improvement in that part of the population which
has so recently emerged from slavery and barbarism.
With regard to the negroes found on board slave-ships
captured by her Majesty's cruisers, I have to observe (says
his lordship) that all ready aU those who, without improper
constraint, can be induced to go to the West India colonies,
are sent to those colonies free of expense to them by her
Majesty's government; the number, therefore, to be sent to
Jamaica could only he increased by depriving some of the
other colonies of the share of this advantage which they now
enjoy ; and considering that in these colonies the want of
labour is not less urgent than in Jamaica, though they have
hitherto been spared from the disease which has visited that
island, this is a course which her Majesty's government
could not with propriety adopt. With respect to the intro-
duction of free emigrants from Africa, I concur with the
Assembly in thinking that it would be highly beneficial if
it could be accomplished; but you arc aware that every en-
deavour which has hitherto been made to procure free
emigrants from Africa has failed ; and a report, which has
very recently reached me, of the last attempt which was
made, only a few months ago, to obtain emigrants from the
Kroo coast, is not encouraging as to the prospect which exists
of greater success attending any further experiments of the
kind. In a memorandum transmitted tonic by Mr. Macgregor,
it is suggested that an endeavour should be mode to induce
the free black inhabitants of some of the United States to
settle iu Jamaica. I have already called your attention to
this subject; and since that despatch was written, I have
obtained further information tending to confirm the opinion
that there is a reasonable prospect that, if proper arrange
ments were adopted for the purpose, a large number of
emigrants might be obtained from among the coloured and
black inhabitants of the United States and of Canada. I
need hardly observe, that there is no immigration which
would he attended with so many advantages as that of the
class of persons now adverted to. But to encourage the
efforts of individuals to obtain labour for themselves, it
would be necessary to make some arrangement for securing
to those who incur the trouble and expense of introducing
labourer, the advantage they have a right to expect from
doing so. For this purpose lam of opinion that a law
should be passed rendering valid, in the colony, engage-
ments entered into by iinmigrants before their embarkation ;
to repay, in instalments, such a sum of money as may be
agreed upon between them and the persons by whom they
are conveyed to the colony. _

Having entered at some length into the details of
the manner in which a law such as that proposed
should be framed and carried out, Lord Grey goes on
to say :
But I have already observed that I do not consider immi-
gration so by any means the only source from which an in-
crease in the supply of available labour may be obtained in
Jamaica. Every account which has reached me of the actual
state of society in the island, tends to confirm my impres-
sion that the laws and arrangements now in force are not
calculated to call forth the energies of the existing popula-
tion; and that if proper inducements to exertion were held
out to them, they might, without being at all overtasked,
be made to perform much more useful labour than at
present.
After alluding to the general " indulgence of idle-
ness" since the abolition of slavery, and to the want
of education, &c., he says :

It appears to me greatly to be regretted that on the aboli-
tion of slavery the emancipated population were not required
to make some small weekly payment for the support of
schools, of churches, and chapels, and of public dispensa-
ries and hospitals.—Such institutions would have greatly
contributed to their civilisation and moral improvement,
and the necessity of earning, in each week, the mean, of
meeting the required payment, would have been a whole-
some stimulus to industry, and would have supplied that
motive for labour which was unhappily wanting.
Further on ho says:
In proposing that the expense of providing medical
assistance and education for the population of Jamaica
should be met by a rate imposed upon houses, according to
the number of their inmates, I have had in view both the
justice, considering the purposes for which the money is
required, of this mode of levying it, and alse the advan-
tage to be derived from it, by its being calculated to stimu-
late the labouring classes to industry.

And again—
It would likewise be most desirable that, while this new
demand is made upon the population, they should at the
same time be relieved, if possible, from some of the most
objectionaßle of the present taxes. I would more especially
recommend a revision of the duties upon ordinary articles
of food, such as flour, butter, and cheese. The duties upon
these and upon other articles of a similar kind I should con-
sider it highly expedient to abolish, or to reduce, if the state
of the revenue should render it practicable to do so. It is,
I think, impossible to doubt that duties of this kind must
have a tendency very injurious to the great staple branches
of colonial industry. While the sugar and coffee planters
are suffering so much from a deficiency of labour, it is
obvious that, in levying the revenue required for the pub-
lic service, the utmost pains should be taken to avoid every
tax which has a tendency. to divert labour from these occupa-
tions. But taxes upon imported provisions have this ten-
deney.in the highest degree:—By raising the price of such
provisions, they must necessarily increase the consump-
tion of provisions grown in the colony, and therefore the
demand for the produce raised by the negro in his own
round; thus artificially increasing the profit to be derived
from this description of labour, and at the same time making
an equally artificial reduction in the amount of food, which
can be purchased by the wages earned in the cane field.
Thus, these duties are directly calculated to discourage the
labourer from working for hire, and to lead him to prefer
working in his own provision ground. It is hardly neces-
sary to observe, that in the actual state of society in Ja-

males, it would be desirable that whatever revenue is re.
quired should be raised by taxes having precisely the oppe.
site effect. For these reasons I consider it to be of great
importance that the duties in question should be reduced, if
they cannot be entirely abolished.
On the ways and means of taxation, and after de.
precatMg the practice of allowing taxes to be imper-
fectly collected, Lord Grey says :
Parochial taxation, properly imposed, is calculated, for
the reasons I have already stated, to act as a stimulus to
industry; whereas import duties, unless kept within most
moderate limits, must tend to discourage the formation of
a taste among the people for the comforts and luxuries of
civilised life, and such a taste could not he developed with-
out creating new and powerful motives for exertion. I have
reason to believe, indeed, that the existing mode of levying
parochial taxes requires to be revised; it seems objection-
able that they should be charged upon stock and upon
wheels, as this mode of assessment must fall most heavily
upon the most active and enterprising cultivators. Whether
rates should be levied as in this country, according to the
value (lithe property assessed, or rather as you have formerly
suggested, according to the extent of land occupied by the
rate-payer, is a question on which I have not the means of
forming a judgment. The principle of apportioning the
charge according to the value of the property on which it
I is imposed would stem to be the fairest, but, on the other
baud, I can easily understand that to make a valuation
which shall nut only be really correct, but which shall sa-
tisfy those concerned that it is so, may, in Jamaica, be a
matter of insuperable difficulty ; even in this country it is
nut very easily accomplished. l'erhaps a middle course
might be the best, and land might be assessed at different
rates, according to the nature of the cultivation, one rate
per acre being imposed ea all pasture laud, another on laud
growing canes, and another on proeisiun grounds, taking as
the basis of the calculation the average value of the return
derived from the laud by these several modes of occupation.
I am persuaded that the various measures I have suggested,
would tend,by their combined effect,to stimulate the industry
of the working classes iu Jamaica, and would greatly contri-
bute to increase the advantage which may be derived
from an addition to the number of labourers by immigra-
tion. But it is obvious that this is a policy of which the
success must entirely depend upon a firm ;mil equal admi-
uistratiun of the law, and upon the efficient maintenance of
order and obedience to authority throughout the colony. It
is not to be expected that the negro population would will-
ingly submit to the new burthens imposed upon them, if
they should perceive that the land-tax and other charges
falling upon the higher classes of society, were negligently
collected and imperfectly paid; and if they were not satis-
fied that the produce of the rates were properly applied to
their professed objects. Nor would it be possible to enforce
a rate upon houses, if any part of the 'emulation were
allowed to wander about without any recogr.ieed place of
allude., thus escaping the charge which would fall upon the
settled and industrious inhabitants of the various parishes.
I would therefore most strongiy recommend to the legis-
lature to adopt such regulations as may ensure the
puuctual and exact collection of the rates and taxes, both
general and parochial, and may subject the collections
to an effective responsibility for the due performance of
their duty. The constitution of vestries and other bodies,
to which the expenditure of parochial and other local rates
is entrusted, should be considered, and, if' necessary, im-
proved, in such a manner as to give to the lower class of
rate-payers some share in the management of their own
affairs, and the proceedings of these ducal bodies should be
subjected to the supervision of some superior authority, and
theiraccounta to an independent audit. Lastly, if the existing
law against vagrancy is iusufficient to cheek that offence, its
faults should be corrected, and it should lie considered whe-
ther the reductions which have been made in the police have
wit been carried too fur, bearing in mind that there can he
no such short-sighted and injudicious economy as that which
should refuse the necessary outlay fur maintaining Cho
Police in a state of complete efficiency, for the preservation
of order, and the enforcement of the law, without which in-
dustry eau never flourish.

The estimated expenditure of the island for the
year ending October 10, Mil, is 244,300/. The re-
port of the committee appointed to arrauge the
finances of the island for the current year recommend
various reductions in official salaries and in the num-
ber of the receivers of the same, in printing, and
other items of expenditure. The estimated income
of the year is 213,830/., leaving a deficit of 434:101.
Towards this amount the committee suggest the rt-
. .

enuctment of the house tax, to be collected i 7 the various
parishes, towards the liquidation of cholera expenses, cud
they estimate the annual produce thereof at 10,0001. ; they
recommend a tax of lid. in the pound on assessed annual
value of hereditements, which is ealculattsl to produce
12,0001.; and a tax of per cent. on all incomes of and
over 1001, per annum, except those derived from heredita-
smuts, to produce 4,050/. ; and they propose to the house to
postpone the payment of the interest to her Majesty's go-
vernment for the current year, pending an application to
her Majesty's government for relief, and amounting to
6,1001. ; making a total of 32,450/. In connexion with the
actual financial condition of the island on the 10th Octuber
led, the committee lay before the house a return
(Nu. 10), furnished by the receiver-general since
the date of the report made to the house on the
14th January, 1851, by which it appears that there are due
and payable into the public treasury, alter the 10th Octo-
ber Isso, from public tax rolls, 18.50, the sum of
30,0101. 10s. 4d. ; and runs rolls, 28th September, 18.50, the
suns of 11,1761. 141. 6d. ; valued by the receiver-general, in
evidence before the committee, to produce respectively the
net amount of 22,3001. nod 10,6001., or together 32,9001.
This amount of 32,9001., added to the cash on hand, 10th
°ember, 1851, 6,5401., and the estimated net value of the
arrears, 10th October, 18.50 (return No. 8), 5,7931., 3,6001.,
together 43,0101., will be applied in liquidation of the
arrears of interest and salaries on the 10th October, 1850,
amounting to 12,6131. 16s. Gd. (return No. 5), and in reduc-
tion of the total liabilities of the island, at that date, to the
sum of 650,4101.

In conclusion, the committee recommend to the house to
make provision for the ultimate redemption of the public
debt by specific enactment, similar in its principle to the
imperial statute 10 lieu. IV., c. 27, whereby it shall he com-
pulsory on the treasury, on the 10th October in every year,
to make up accounts of the annual revenue Mr the pre-
'ceding year, and to apply such fixed portions of any annual
supplies as the house may resolve upon towards the redue-
tion of the island debt.
Agreeably to a requisition presented to the mayor
from the merchants and others interested in the trado
of South America, a meeting was held on the 19th,
for the purpose of considering what measures it
would be desirable to take, with a view of inducing
her Majesty's government to enter into such arrange-
ments with the royal mail steam-packet company,
as will influence them to re-open the monthly win-
munication with South America which formerly
existed. The result was the appointment of a com-
mittee to prepare a memorial to the British govern-
ment, urging upon them the necessity of carrying out
the object sought by the requisition.

BRITISH GUIANA.

The Royal Gazette, of March 27, gives the follow-
ing summary of the fortnight's news:

Since the date of our lout review, on the 13th instant, the

attention of the community has been chiefly fixed on the
proceedings of the Combined Court. From the 13th to the
19th the court sat day after day, disposing of the various
items on the estimate, and the incidental questions there-
with connected. The most important of those items related
to our ecclesiastical establishments, for which, we are happy
to say, with one or two exceptions, far provision has been
made. This, however, was not effected without consider-
able opposition; some members seeming to think that it
would be more to the purpose for the colony to spend its
money on policemen than clergymen, and that the clergy
of the established churches are fonder of enjoying their
ease than discharging their laborious spiritual duties. We
arc far from affirming that the population of this country
arc universally so well conducted as to need no police to
coerce them; nor do we deny the efficacy of salutary fear
as an instrument of good government. But it may well
be questioned whether, were such a scheme tried, the
burthens of the tax payers would nut be greatly
increased, and the people, after all, be more demoralised
than ever. Batons and fetters—police forces and penal
settlements—are much more costly than clergymen and ca-
techists, and Bibles and Prayer-books ; while experience.
also, unhappily shows that, as a general rule, penal disci-
pline acts upon men like dram-drinking the more they
have of it the more they want. Again, though rather ab-
solutist, perhaps, in our ideas of government, we must own
that we think it would be a great injustice to our people
and to their posterity, even admitting, for the sake of argu-
ment, that such a scheme would answer, to govern them
rather as human machines, consigned for ever, from cir-
cumstances over which they have no control, to occupy an
inferior rank in society, than as beings with immortal
souls—with feelings and minds capable of indefinite enjoy-
ment and extension—and as standing in the sight of the
_ .

King of Kings on a footing of perfect equality with the
mightiest and most gifted of mankind. Christianity is
the great charter of the poor and the weak. Commit
society to the guardianship of philosophy, and en-
lightenment, and capitaliam, with their selfishness,
and science, and good intentions, and combinations,
and pride—with their narrowness, fickleness, Weakness, and
nonsense—and what in the middle of this boasted nine-
teenth century would be the result ? Why, that the world
would be no better than a prison—a huge despotism—ea
arid, flowerless, hopeless desert—the lair of every wild and
savage passion. if the rich men of the present age wish for
security of property and life, they would do wisely to look
with respect upon the institutions of Christianity, instead of
scoffing and sneering at them, as by law established.
On the 18th the court was adjourned, from, we are sorry
to say, the illness of his excellency the governor, and the
serious indisposition, which shortly afterwards terminated
fatally, of Mrs. Wolseley, the wife of our esteemed acting
government secretary, the Don. W. B. Wolseley. The
court will not re-assemble for the despatch of business be-
fore the 31st inst. Hie excellency, however, who was suf-
fering from a severe attack of fever, is now, we are glad
to say, convalescent.
Active preparations are being made for taking a census
of our population. Commiqiioners have been appointed for
that purpose by the governor in each of the three counties,
of Demerara, Esecguebo, and Derbice ; and to facilitate
operations, a number of subordinate ()dicers, called memo.
raton, will act under these commissioners: the duty of the
enumerators being to distribute blank forms at the dw,Fll-
- their different districts, for the purpose of beta,
filled in, and, where the parties with whom forms arc left
are unable to. write, to fill them in for them, and afterwards

stoned together the keens so distributed. The principle
upon which the mum will be taken is a very simple, and
will be found, we bort, to be an efficacious one ; that is to
say, the names of all parties sleeping within any given pre-
mises on one specified night—thatof the 30th instant—me to
be stated in such forms, together with particulars of age,
country, dte.
We mentioned in our last review that some excitement I
had been occasioned in the community by the arrival of the '
Intlexihle, steamer of war, in our river with a detachment
of the 2nd West India regiment from Jamaica; and that, in
consequence of a resolution arrived at by our board of I
health that it would not be safe for the executive to allow
these troops to land owing to the prevalence of cholera in
Jamaica, the Inflexible had departed, with that detachment
on board, for Barbadoes. We have now to announce that
this steamer returned to the colony on the 24th with the
same troops, which, considering that they had been away
from Jamaica for several weeks,—that no ease of cholera
had occurred among thern,—and that the latest accounts
from that island advised the rapid cessation of the pestilence
—were permitted by the executive to come on 'shore, not
withstanding that the quarantine laws are still strictly in
force in this colony against all vessels coming either from
Jamaica, Cayenne, or Martinique. We pay too dearly for
our people—importing immigrants every year at an im-
mense expense—not to he tenderly careful of their lives;
and we may, therefore, give this public warning, that peo-
ple in other countries will be very much mistaken if they
suppose, no matter what may be said against quarantine by
all the plausible experimentaliets and theorists of the day,
that lintish Guiana will not always close her ports
all vessels, without any distinction, coming from infectedt
places. And here let us close this subject by saying
that a more ill-advised, ill-timed removal of troops from
one colony to another never took place than the removal of
this 2nd WI .t India detachment from a notoriostaly infected
Island to a colony like this, which was not only healthy,
but had used extraordinary efforts, by the observance of
sanatory regulations, to remain so; and that we hope some
explanation will be demanded in parliament by some inde-
pendent and public-spirited member, of • matter, which,
from its mischievousness, and its apparent needlemness and
wantonnem --jeopardising our lives tor n earthly rhyme or
mason that any one here can see—has occasioned deep and
general disgust and indignation throughout the community.
The Indelible has brought us accounts of an accident
having happened to the Royal West India Mail-steamer
Eagle, which, it is expected, will deprive the colonies in this
part of the world, upon the intereolonial route, of her ser-
vice* for some time to come. The West India Mail Com-
pany have at present only one other steamer, the Dement,
upon this station ; and, as this accident will throw all the
work upon her, we may expect more than usual irregularity
in the art ivul of our mails. It le almost needless to mention
that, though overdue, the mail has not yet made her ap-
pearance. It is quite. impossible that these shameful delays
can be permitted much longer to continue.
On the 21st instant the March meeting of the George-
town races took place on the lJ'Urban course. For several
yeses racing was discontinued in this colony, and it was
only last year that it was revived. It is not, therelore, sur-
prising that the running on this occasion, though it afforded
much amusement to the numerous assemblage collected on
the ground, was far inferior to what was in former days
witnessed in this colony. This circumstance, however, so
far from discouraging our gentlemen of the turf, ought to
stimulate them to increased exertions.
Two execution sales of landed property have taken place
this week. One fourth share of plantation Metten-Meer-
sorg, on the west roust of Demerara, was sold on the 25th
fur 10,100 dole.; purchaser, Gavin Fullerton, Esq.; and
yesterday, plantation %Aught, on the same roast, was sold
for 7,500 dole. ; purchaser, It. S. Bascom, Esq.
The weather during the fortnight has been fine and fa-
vourable for the planters ; and the colony continues healthy.

The Cu/mist, referring, in terms not over cheerful,
to the financial condition of the colony, i4O fully
entered into in the governor's speech, brought by a
previous mail, says:

The estimate for 1830. together with the civil list, and all
theozrears due, amounted to 776,24 dole. 39e._

Fur 1,441, the estimate, &c., an prepared fur the Combined
Court, was set down at 74!4,217 dols. 62c., showing an appa-
rent reduction or 28,069 dole. 77e.
It turns out that two items of debts due have been
Omitted, amounting together to 64,000 dub. Then we have
already hail inerearesl votes for repairs of churches, for
the police, imrnigation, &s., and are morally certain of a
variety of others ere the estimate is closed, which, making
allowances for an odd thousand dollars here and there
struck off from the "ordinary expenses" of certain de-
partments to try and keep down the grows total, though these
must be paid if occasion requires them, will raise the expen-
diture of the year to 830,000 or tl-10,000 dollars, and show
an excess of some 80,000 to 100,000 dollars, instead of the
reduction so fallaciously set forth. If we deduct the
arrears due prior to 1860, may 56,000 dollars, but charged to
that year, and compare the expenditure proper for the two
sirs 18-10 and 1851, we shall have an increase shown of
from 156,4801 to 156,000 dollars. Verily we believe that
Sir Charles Wood will not call upon our financiers to assist
aim in framing a budget, should he have occasion, which
we very much doubt, to prepare another alter the present
year.

TRINIDAD.

At this island the vrl.Sth ..... very fine, and the
operations of the crop were proceeding rapidly. The
Legislative Council was in session. Owing to the
illness of his lady, Governor Lord Ilarriss was about
leaving the colony, and would be temporarily suc-
ceeded in the administration of government by
Lieutenant• Colonel Brown.

BA RBADOES.
With the exception of a few MICR of small-pox,
the island was healthy. The weather was excellent
for sugar-making, but fur too dry for the young cane
plants for the next year's crop. The present crop
would be reaped before the end of April, and was ex-
pected to reach nearly 40,000 tons. The session of
the House of Assembly had closed, and elections for
members for the new house were about to take place.

We have our usual files from Grenada. St. Lucia,
Martinique, and Antigua, but they contain nothing
of interest to home readers.

At Greytown so severe a shock of an earthquake
bad been experienced as to create fears in the minds
of the inhabitants that intelligence would be received
from the interior of great damage having been sus-
tained. The Thames has brought a shipment of 600
bales of indigo to Grvytown.

A good deal of &mum has been grimed during the put
fortnight by holders of dry and plaided 61. We regret,
however, we cannot report any meat ingeevement in bread-
stuffs. A slight speculative feeling madisnly manifested
itself during the early part of the fortnight, under which
upwards of 2.000 barrels Baltimore dour MP disposed of:
but it as suddenly subsided, and the waft Mops* into
its previous quiet site. The sale, however, of se large •
parcel has had the effect of creating a better halms for the
article, notwithstanding that the supply in imapersen' hands
is still considerable.
The sugar market is heavy, sad the trade are endeavour-

holders are however firm, as there arc buyers fur shipment
at better rates than home dealers are willing to give. Ruin
is in good inquiry for export. We notice a somewhat
