To att.uii t to eu'ogise the gorgeous splendour of the New Extrava

barren an,

es. A due regard for the wel

fare of the e. nianciPa' .ed blacks is alone sufficient to
guarantee the ( 'olonif
.!s against the indulgence of a dis-
position so detri tnetatal to their interests." But there
are other reasons, of high political expediency, which
will very obviot' tly preclude our Government from
any notion of tl-. routing up that footing we have so
long possessed 0 n the Antilles and on the American
main. We cam JOt afford, were the former to become
a chain of barLYn. rocks to-morrow, to relinquish a
chain of island. pc ists from whence we in some sort
command the Gialf of Mexico, the coasts of the
United States, an d no inconsiderable portion of the
seaboard of South America. To abandon Trinidad
would be to sari ifice one of the most fertile and im-
portant of thescs posts. If this alternative, then, is to
be dismissed wi:thout being dwelt upon for a moment,
it will be for Government to devise some remedy—
efficient, extensive, and immediate—for a condition of
things the more discouraging, inasmuch as it is thus
simply and fairly stated by a journalist resident on the
spot. The evil, which is felt to be so near at hand, is
the more appalling, inasmuch as it is not to be
treated as if it might prove only a temporary visita-
tion, and one, therefore, to be endured under some
reasonable assurance of being speedily withdrawn.
If the cultivation of Trinidad, or any other of these
important colonies, be once allowed to run out, and
the soil to return to fallow, it is certain, from the eix-
hausting nature of the crops it has been made, during so
many years, and under such powerful and forcing pro-
cesses, to raise, that a protracted and ruinous interval
must elapse before it could be put again in heart,
again reclaimed from its original tendency to
the rank exuberance of useless vegetation, or again
sufficiently cleansed and turned to be fitted for the
usual course of its tropical husbandry. These con-
siderations, too, are wholly irrespective of the enor-
mous amount of waste, decay, or deterioration of
machinery, mills, boiling-houses, &c., &c., from which
the enormous capitals now invested in them can reap
any returns only through the sustained activity of
their operations. The remedy required, as we con-
ceive, is that which we have so often pressed upon
her MAJESTY'S Ministers, the solemn duty of extend-
ing to our West Indian colonies, without those illi-
beral, coarse, nay, fatal drawbacks, which have
hitherto formed the subject of complaints at once so
well founded and so unnecessary. Let the immigra-
tion of free labour from any quarters, so that it be
efficient, be encouraged, under some plain, unvexa-
tious, intelligible, system of control and appropriation.
Give to the Coolies of Bengal and others, who are
anxious to carry their labour and their industry
thither, the amplest and most facile means for doing
so. To the colonists leave the fullest benefit of that
market of coloured free labour, in which, as in all
other markets, competition will determine the legiti-
mate wages of labour. The lands will be cultivated,
the crops raised and collected, prepared and exported
on terms far lower than those which the planters
are now compelled to provide for, whom we have
righteously denuded of all compulsory authority over
prwt-lial labour, without providing any means,
hitherto, commensurate with the deficiency our own
act has thus occasioned, of voluntary or emancipated
labour. By giving expansion and protection to some
such improved scheme of immigration, we doubt not
that the just interests of the planters might be con-
sulted and improved, without compromising the title
of the home consumer to cheaper prices ; and without
infringing, by one line's breadth, on that sacred
circle of emancipation, which the British Legislature
has traced around the expatriated and heretofore
enslaved races of negro labourers throughout the
wide circuit of her transatlantic possessions.

In the press of other matters claiming our early
attention, we have found but little time, hitherto, for
the perusal in detail of Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S Bill
" for the better regulation of Medical Practice
throughout the United Kingdom." But we have
mastered its contents sufficiently, to pronounce an
opinion upon its general bearings, and to be enabled
to indicate some features of palpable inconsistency,
unfairness, and inexpediency. The Bill, in its pre-
sent form, is certainly one of the worst specimens of
the excess to which the genius of central legislation
may carry its advocates. In their laudable endea-
vours to abolish the evils of that partial, interrupted,
and local law-making, which has so much marred
many institutions derived from our ancestors, that
were of the very wisest kind in princi-
ple, they are apt to produce a species of
mischief at the least as much to be de-

the powers which these exercise, they are prone to pass
to a system, more or less impracticable from the linii-
tation of its faculties, to a range of operation by
.no
means co-extensive with the multiplied and varyillg
demands on their exercise, and only to be set in mo-
tion from a single centre. The result of these sacii-
fices to the one element of consolidation may be 4_
fined, in a word, as a defect of adaptation. There *e
infinitely more demands, or more classes of demands
to be met and satisfied than machinery, of this centra-
lised character, can adequately treat. But the Bill
in question has more specific vices, besides this 0-
neric one.
