Such being then some of the principa.
causes, moral and physical, Of this evi
which I am sure we all deplore and would
gladly amend, permit me to suggest such
Remedies as seem to me available, and
likely to be MISUNDERSTANDING them mere
ly as suggestions to be improved upon by
others more competent for the task.
Now as the causes are m0rdt as we'll as
physical, it is obvious that the remedies
must correspond with their twofold char
acter. The first remedy therefore that l
would suggest, and one which | believe to
be absolutely essential to any radical or
permanent improvement, is-a greater at
tention on the part Of many Of the %influen-
tial classes to the example which they set
those beneath them in their mode and
habits of living and O more general and
un~mistakable condemnation, in Society, Of
the sin of impure connections-such a con-
%demnation, for instance, as would render
the employment of VIGOROUSLY evil llvers
in our schools, and other responsible public
positions, impossible and would, in our
social circles, draw a wide line OF distinc
ton between the moral and immoral char
acter. Secondly, l would suggest, that
such aid and assistance be given to tue
Clergy or Churches, both by the Govern
ment and the community at large, as shall
strengthen and hold up their hands in their
arduous labours for the moral elevation OF
the lower classes. Thirdly-that ONE
measures be adopted for the better instruc-
ton of the midwives on the different Els
tates in their duties. FOurthIy, that there
be established, by law, on every Estate a
proper nursery in which efficient persons
shall be employed to take charge of the
children, and supply them with whole
some food during the absence OF the pa
rents while at work, or during sickness
and that the sending of all children, under
a certain age, to the nursery be compulso-
ry on the part of the Parent. Filthy

ment of a reasonable sum-, per diem or per
week, by the Father OF every such child,

( From the St. TNomas Times, September 2.)

Comfortable to advertisement, a public
meeting took place, on Saturday evening
last, at the Commercial Hotel, for the pur-
pose of obtaining information, from Baron
Won Hippel, regarding the object of his
visit to this place, and if we may judge
from the large and influential attendance,
and the summary of the proceedings, which
we put in print to-day, it seems certain
that the proposals of the International
Ocean Telegraph Company have already
become of interest, and Importance to our
community.
The meeting having been called to or
der, it was proposed by Mr.. E. B. Sim
mons, seconded by Mr.. James D. Lamb,
and carried, that His Honour Judge Ro-
senstand be requested to take the Chair.
His Honour, the Judge, having taken
the Chair, then, in a few appropriate re-
marks, introduced Baron Won Hippel, who
addressed the meeting, in the following
TERMS
AS special Agent of the International Ocean
Telegraph Company l will briefly set forth the
iCGmpany's plans and their expectations in re-
gard to the share which they hope will be taken
by ST. Thomas in The furtherance of the impor-
tant objects which the Company have in view
Furthermore the grounds upon which same are
founded and the reception the Company's views
have met with in the different islands that have
already been called upon to support the under
taking.
The International Ocean Telegraph Compa-
ny, l may state in the first instance, is COM
posed of wealthy and influential citizens of the
United States and its object is to construct and
maintain a line CT electric Telegraph between
the various West India Islands and the United
States of America.
The Company has already begun this great
work by establishing and working a submarine
cable between Florida and Cuba and they are
now laying between those two points a second
cable, experience having already shown that it
has become necessary in order to allow the
COMPANY to meet the every day increasing de-
mands upon the line.
The Company are also engaged at the pres
ent moment in having the necessary soundings
made with a view to lay a further line extend
ing from Cuba by Jamaica to Panama. 1t is
expected that this line will be before many
months in actual operation.
From the above facts, gentlemen, you may
see that the Company offers in addition to the
usual guarantee the advantages only to be de-
rived from a practical knowledge. of the work.

right thing. I may however explain that
the great disideratum will he to adopt
some means of caring the children mithout
depriUing the parents Of all sense Of RESPONSE
bihty an the matter, for to take the duty
altogether off their hands would only be to
perpetuate the evil hence my suggestion
that they should pay a trihe towards the
care OF their children at the nurseries be-
sides which, it is not reasonable to expect
the Planter to bear the whole expense.
Another point to be bone in mind is this
that any steps towards reform in this
matter must assume the shape and authori-
'ty of q iaw equally binding upon all. 1t
would be manifestIy impossible, for reasons
which will be patent to every Planter, and
which therefore need not be entered into,
to expect individuals, unsupported and un-
protected by law, to embark in the expense
and risk OF establishing such nurseries on
their Estates Nay, they would undoubt-
eddy meet with great opposition to such
an arrangement even from the labourers
themselves-the terrOrS of the old sick
house very naturally making them SUSPECT
Gus about the introduction of any thing of
this nature now. Besides, as | am not one
to follow bIindly the hue and cry which
places the onus of erery evil in the com
munity on the Planter, so would | not look!
to him alone to rectify every evil. That
which we are now discussing is more due,
as are many others, to a miserable system
under which the Planter is suffering to a
greater extent than any one else if he could
only see it, than to any lack of individual
humanity or care. II is an euH therefore
that must be met By prudent and humane
Legislation, and uhich can be met by nothing
else
Trusting, Mr.. Editor, that my feeble at
tempt to discuss this subject may have the
effect Of drawing out the opinions of others
more competent to treat of it, and lead
finally to some s%alutary reform; and taking
the liberty of reminding the Government,
and our Legislators alike, that
"This shame itself doth speak
For instant remedy"

NEW TELEGRAPH LIsEs.-lt is fast becoming
