EMIGRATION.
Concluded

The reader who has been to sea must
not imagine the tween decks of a
cooIie-ship to be arranged like those for
European emigration; on the contrary,
they are perfectly clear and unencumber-
ed with 'bunks,' except just abreast the
h~atchways, where the forethought of the
Bengal government has caused a kind Of
broad shelf to be erected, so that those
coolies who are berthed opposite the
hatchways may not be exposed to any
sea or spray while lying asleep on the
deck Excepting these, and a series of
rails made Of bamboo, extending from
one end of the ship to the other, on
which the people hang their blankets
when not sleeping, the tween deck is
free, scrupulously clean, and all white
washed. Little more regard is paid to
locating the people, than merely to see
that the unmarried men are placed
forward, and the married couples, with
their families and the young wemen, aft.
On the upper deck, in the centre of the
ship. 10 seen the hospital, with six or

YELLOW FEVER.

The Royal Mail Steamship Tyne, Cap
tain Hole, arrived here yesterday after
noon from Colon with very many cases of
yellow fever on board, and reports the
death of the Admiralty Agent from that
disease. It would nevertheless seem
that this vessel has been allowed to enter
the harbour and have free pratique with
all the other ships. Should this unfor-
tunate malady be transferred to the
Steamship D0urO now on the eve OF
departure for Southampton, there is
little doubt that on her arrival at that
port, another hue and cry will be raised
against St. Thomas, whilst this poor I'M
fortunate Island will be as innocent of
yellow fever as Moscow could be. Will
our Government really not take warning
and institute measures when ships infect
ed with this disease come here, that
they are treated at least as they would be
treated at Southampton itself, where
there is less danger Of a spread Of the
disease than here. Since the foregoing
was written we are pleased to learn that
the Quarantine Commission will take in
its most serious consideration all ques-
tions relating to sanitary precautions.
BY the arrival yesterday morning Of
the Spanish Steamship Pejaro del Oceamo
from Havana, the intelligence reaches us
that Majia, Miramon and Macmillan were
on the 10Th June shot at Queretero, and
that Marquee (imperialist) who was in
charge of the city of Mexico on hearing
the news had left there at the head Of
several thousand men, not however,
before sacking the British Ambassy of
about $%15O,OOO. 1t is also said that
General Santa Anna is a prisoner on
board o Mexican gunboat and will also
be shot. This information is given us by
q gentleman direct from Monterey in
Mexico.-Lbid. -
A gentleman at present sojourning here
is studying the geological formation Of
our Island, with a view Of determining
the feasibility Of sinking an Artesian
well. We hope to give further particu-
lars.-Ibid.

hearths, tOur IN number, arranged alter
the Indian manner; and further forward
than these, one of Winchester's or DR..
Normandy's apparatuses for distilling
salt water into fresh. Right aft, one of
the awning cabins of the ship is fitted up
as a dispensary, and usually forms the
domicile of that by no means unimport-
ant functionary, the native doctor, gem
orally a Hindu by birth, who has passed
three or four years in study at some of
the hospitals or medical schools in CAL
cutta, and who, when he has gone a voy-
age or two, is really a most valuable
coadj utor in managing these people. In
case, however, the native doctor may not
possess sufficient acquaintance with the
innumerable dialects of India, an inter-
prefer is also supplied to these ships,
whose sole business is that of interpret
ing between the coolies and those placed
in superintendent over them, so that no
defects may arise from ignorance of the
language. Caste is well known 10 be a
great obstacle to the management of SER
wants, but even here the humane fore
thought of the government has provided
a remedy, in shipping five or six West

10 each ship, who clean the decks and
other dirty jobs, the doing which would
break the caste of many an Indian native.
Once on board ship, and the sea-sick-
ness over, which affects them far less
than Europeans, coolies accommodate
themselves rapidly to their new position,
probably owing 10 the circumstance that
every endeavour is made that their diet
and habits on board should be assimilated
as closely as possible to their mode of
life on Shore In the morning at 4.30,
the slrdar (cohstable) who has the morn
ing watch from 4 to 6 AM, rouseS the
bundh0rrieS, or cooks, who proceed to
light their fires, using wood for fuel, in
the cabooses mentioned above. AT 5
AM, all hands are sent on deck (of course,
weather permitting), a proceeding which
occupies at least half an hour, for though
the cooIie has nothing to do but fold up
his blanket-one, if it is hot weather;
two, if it is cold-and hang them on the
bamboorail, black people, whether of the
same species as white or no, are quite as
difficult to rouse in the morning. This
little proceeding done, a gang of men is
taken down by the sirdars, and in COM
pany with the topasses, do a preliminary
sweeping Of the tween deck. Mean
while, other sirdars, together with one or
two of the cooks, receive the rations for
the day. These are a pound and three
quarters Of rice per adult, together with
a given quantity per scale of dohl "a kind
of pea), salt fish, ghee (butter), turmeric'
tamarinds, and several other smaller
items, with one gallon of water. Of the
last, one-half is Retained in a convenient
barrel for drinking, while the other is
employed in cooking the rice, which the
Hindu may boast Of being his chefd'euvre,
for he will turn out third class grain in a
pulpy condition, and of snowy whiteness.
The other items of dietary are made into
curry and chutney, which last is exceed
ingly paIatable, but your appetite for
which would be materially impaired by
seeing the cook fadle it out to the appli-
cants with his black Jaw. Twice or

fine powder, OF putting it into their
mouths like snuff; and some soft, moist
compound of the same substance, which
they smoke in their hubble bubbles (pipes),
a liberal supply of which are also put on
board for distribution TO the coolies. There
are many natives, however, who cannot
eat rice, and who fall off and get thin if
compelled to do so /; these are men chiefly
from Allahabad, Benares, &C.. to them
an equivalen Mt allowance of -four is issued,
which being made into dough, with no
other adjunct than water, is beaten out
with the hand into thin cakes called
chwpatties, and eaten with dohl, ghee, or
chutney. Should the weather prove so
boiSterous that the cooks are unable to
mike ready the usual rice and curry, and
consequently the people are retained be-
low, dry food is issued to them. This
consists of biscuits, sugar, gram "a seed
like a tare, though larger, which ought
to be partially boiled or stepped before
being eaten), and chOordh (rice parboiled
and dried, merely requiring 10 be slightly
saturated with water to be edlble).
To return 10 the daily routine, at 6 A.
NJ, at which hour all the people are usu-
ally on deck, ladies arranging their hair,
and washing out their mouths with water,
q proceeding which seems entirely 10
supplant the external use of that fluid
gentlemen strutting about shifting the
morning air, with their blankets pendent
over their shoulders, and fastened adroit-
ly with o piece of tarry-Spun yarn into a
neat rosette over their heads, or squatted
on their heels near the water ways of the
ship, performing that most essential item
in the Hindu morning toilet-namely,
brushing their teeth. Having supplied
themselves with a small piece of bamboo
cane, they split it up into fine fibres AZ
one end, and thus extemporise a most
excellent toothbrush. This ~scgupulous
attention TO cleaning The teeth and wash
ing their mouths after meals, together
with an abstinence from all hot liquids,
gives these people those splendid sets OF
ivory which are the envy of Europeans.
By $50, the milk for the children under
two years old is ready, and being brought
by some Of the cooks in a large iron cal
dron called a ckGtty, 10 The top of one Of
the hatchways, is served out by sitdar or
the native doctor. This milk is made
from that so we'll known now as Grim
wode's Desiccated. AS prevention is far
better than cure, sickly and delicate-look-
ing children above two are always inclu-
ded in the list of those on milk-diet and
should any of them be of an age requir-
ing more solid food, soft bread, preserv-
ed mutton, biscuits, and sugar are issued
to them, whereby many IA famished-look-
ing child becomes, by the end of The
voyage, plump and well-condilioned.
The first meal is usually served about.
DAM, and this requires little manage
ment, as when upwards of five hundred
people are to be supplied at once, some
system must be adopted, if it were only
TO prevent those that are rogues being
served twice, The people are all sent
below, and sirdars and cooks being sta
toned at the three hatchways, the food
is brought to the after and middle hatch
ways, at the former of which the women.
aud ct the middle the men, are served,
