Where blight nor sorrow never come,
And all is joy, and peace, and love-

tonal purposes, and no effort was made to enlghten the people until
1857, when the Legislature established a board of education. In that
year the average school attendance was about 1000. The criminal re-
cords show that there is a general obedience to law-the more remark
able Is no troops are stationed in the island, and the police authorities
would be utterly incapable of queling a popular tumult if such a msfor-
tune should occur. In 1856 there were 10 blacks convicted OF thetts
and misdemeanors, a of larceny and 4 of felony: in 1857 there were l62
convicted Of minor offences, 7 of assault and 6 of felony. This is less
than the number of convictions under the r<gime of slavery, and very
much less than the convictions Immediately after emancipation, when the
offenders of all classes during one year would average over a thousand.
/ do not think that any one who has visited st. Vincent will hesitate to
say that, morally and materially, the Creoles of the island are infinitely
superior to what they were twenty. or even ten years ago. Ihey nave
the same vices and faults that their brethren in the other islands pos
sess; but they are vices and faults which, we have reason to hope, a
proper system of popular education will ultimately eradicate.
There are now encouraging prospects that, that even in the culiva-
tin of sugar, st. Vincent will soon be restored to its former prosperity.
The island has already made preparations for the importation of cooie
labor. In October, 1857, a law was passed authorizing the appointment
of an agentgeneral of immigrants, and, in other respects, introducing the
system 81 successfully practsed in Trinidad and British Guiana. To
defray the expenses of this immigration a special duty is levied on sugar,
rum, molasses, arrowroob cotton, and cocoa, and a portion of the gene
raj revenue is also appropriated to the same object. Though eighteen
months have passed since the immigration law was promulgated, no COO
lies, up to this time, have been brought to st. Vincent, and the inference
is that the planters are either in want of capital or can not be in such
desperate straits for labor as they ask us to believe.
, 1866-12-25

But the more / see of these West India islands the more am / con
convinced that debt and want of capital, much more than want of labor,
have led to the abandonment of SO many estates. A movement in the
right direction, and one already producing the most beneficial results,
was the passage through the imperial Parliament, in 1884, OF the West
Indies Encountered Estate Act, with similar provisions to those of the
famous Irish Bill. The measure was at first regarded with suspicion,
but IFS benefits are now generally acknowledged, and in 1856 the St Vim
cent Legislature passed an act for carrying into execution the imperial
law. 1t is already apparent that, in some cases, the-dIicultles created
by debt and membranes too weighty to be borne are disappearing.
One particular and remarkable example may be given-that of the Aries
Vale estate in this island, covering about asa acres. The property pass
ed through the Encountered Estates Court with despatch, and, with a free
parliamentary title, was sold for $4,000, or one third more than any
one believed it could possibly fetch.
There ate now ffy-eight sugar estates IN ST. Vincent under high
cultivation. Forty-six are worked with water, nine with steam, six with
cattle, and six with wind power. This, Of course, is a great falling off,
when compared with sugar cultivation of the island a quarter of a centu-
ry ago; but, as compared with the depression of late years, it exhibits a
most decided improvement. Though st. Vincent only embraces a SUI
perfcal area Of 1000 acres, there are in the island large estates yet to
be rescued from ruin, and large tracts Of land yet to be reclaimed from
pimeyaI forest. But, with a supply of labor such as they can now OBJ
tain, and freed from the burden of debt under which they have hitherto
vainly struggled debt, be it always remembered, incurred before free
dom was tested-the planters of St Vincent look forward to d time of
revived and redoubled prosperity. Its first fruits are already apparent
