FRIDAY. 10TH OCTOBER 1866.

IN our issue of the 18th instant a "Draft
of an Ordinance for the prohibition of the
sale and export Of Succades or the So
and" appeared, as we'll as the "Motivcs"
for Introducing this Bill, which was laid
before the Colonial Council on the 10th
of last month, and, as we read in the
extract of the proceedings of that honor
able Body, gone to 2nd discussion. We
were much astonished, we must confess,
10 see such a Bill brought forward, and
felt somewhat surprised that it was not
forthwith elected. The bare idea of
hearing such a thing as the prohibition
of the sale in this Island Of Sugar Cakes
under any circumstances, is, we pre-
sumo to say, very ridiculous and why
Because, DIS the "Mntives'' tell us GA
large portion of the product of the Su-
gar Estates in this Island finds its way
into the markets for sale and is publicly
exported from this Island TO that of st.
Thomas or elsewhere, the major part
wAereof 1t IS believed has been obtained By
improper MEANS" We have italicized the
words "the major part whereof it is be-
lieved has been obtained by improper
MEANS" TO show how much greater the
Inconsistency is, in introducing such a
Bill as This. We have said that we were
much astoOished TO see such a Bill
brought forward, and wondered that it
was not Immediately thrown out, for more
reasons than one. First, to hear of the
absurdity in preventing the sale Of these
Sugar Cakes altogether; since from time
immemorial the laborers have been MAX
ing them from the little liquor they get,
and bringing some of these cakes to town
to sell. And secondly, we think it would
have been more reasonable to add "unless
provided with a pass" The prohibition
to export the article would attend with
as much difficulty, we presume ; SO the bet
ter way would have been, we conjecture,
to change it, and in its place, bring: GA
Bill to fix an export duty offorty cents pr.
pound on Sugar-Cake Sugar." or some
thing of the sort. And then, when Goals
and Wood are admitted without any
other restriction than a pass, which
should be considered of more value than
a little liquor, we cannot see why Sugar
Cakes should be prohibited altogether,
rather than take its position among such
things of the Estate as Goals and Wood
for surely, when we take into considera-
ton the number of agricultural laborers
the Island ontains-between 10 and II, 1000
and calculate three or four pounds of
sugar to each, the figures will not look
SO very Insignificant after all.

We next come to this point to prove
how much greater the inconsistency is, in
introducing such a Bill as the former, more
particularly as one of the Motives
given is this ''tEe major part whereof
(of the Sugar CakeS)-has been obtained
by improper MEANS" and we will endea-
vor to do so in a very few words. To
other persons than the inhabitants of
this Island and those who have been
here, the character Of the laborers must
be thought very doubtful, for this very
reason that an old privilege enjoyed by
these people should be so abruptly dis
continued because it is supposed that
"the major part'' of the article in ques-
ton "has been obtained by improper
means" How suddenly has this been
discovered, is a mystery to US. No
planter here or elsewhere would patient
Iy and calmly stand by and see his
laborers helping themselves TO any
large quantity of liquor, and not prevent
them and no one would neglect TO use
proper and necessary precautions against
the illegal possession of large portions of
Canejuice or liquor, without endeavoring
to have due punishment inflicted on the
offender or offenders. We would have
been more happy. indeed, if any other
Bill than the one we aIlude TO here had
been introduced or if the Bill had been
in another form and we mean to say.
that steps of a better kind could be adopt
ed to suit the present times, and thus
promote the moral and social condition
of the l~aboring claSses-more particularly
the rural nOrtiOn-hv fixing for these
latter people contracts for q longer period
than one year, and by Introducing task
work, as the former measure would tend
to improve the cultivation of the 'negro-
grounds and the latter would secure to
the Island more labor; and for the labor
ing class in the towns, a strict observance
of the Vagrant Law would give more
comfort and happiness, less trouble and
Inconvenience, thereby d~ifusing greater
advantages and much more benefit to all
the inhabitants of this place without ex-
ception, whether high or low, rich or
poor.
THE European Mails arrived here yes
terday morning. We refer our readers
to such extracts in this number as we have
been able to make.
