THE WEST INDIAN IN LONDON.

Eight ships have been chartered to convey
coolies from Calcutta to British Guiana during
the ensuing season, and four ships for Trinidad.
Further correspondence has beer. published
upon the subject of the new Royal Mail con-
tract. The greater part of ithas reference to
the calling at Plymouth to disembark the mails,
but as. the question has been satisfactorily set
tied there is no need to dwell upon it at any
i Rngsb MT. The government at first wanted a%aif;a. the
Plymouth without auy subsidy beyond that
provided for in the contract. But the, Royal
Mail Company was too wise iu their generation.
They said that 10000. extra. was the lowest at
which they. could render this service, and the
Government, from the pressure put upon them
in regard to Plymouth, finally acceded to
these terms. The papers just presented to

that the general revenue shall bear the cost
of maintaining the immigration Department
and the Medical Service, and contribute one
third towards defraying the direct expenses of
introduction is thoroughly reasonable. What
is the general revenue It is the result Of
taxation which falls upon planters and persons
dependent directly or indirectly upon the
sugar production. If sugar production were
to fail, and if estates were abandoned, the
general revenue would suffer. The salaries OF
public officers could not be paid, the institu-
tions Of Government, now literally maintained
for the benefit Of all classes, could not be sup
ported. The negro especially is benefited by
immigration, for be occupies a much better
industrial position than be did ten or fifteen
wears ago. The extent Of his contribution to
the revenue depends upon himself, as he IS
independent, ina great measure, Of imported
food. Granting that he contributes to the
revenue, it is only by his participation III the
sugar industry, for which immigration alone
affords him the opportunity--that he IS enabled
so to do Aud as immigration continues and
cultivation extends, the area of taxation will
be enlarged, or in other words taxable wealth
will be Increased, and the incidence OF taxa
ton upon any particular class will become
lighter and more favourable. This subject has
been so fully discussed at different times in
this column that nothing further need be SAID
upon it now. The other propositions of the
combined court, all of them fair and reasonable,
and afording a good basis for a satisfactory
settlement, will be examined and set forth IN
this column from time to time.
Mr.. G. Fl. Chambers presided at the halt
yearly meeting of the London and st. kath-
crime Docks Company, when a dividend at
the rate Of 4 per cent. per annum was declared
An extraordinary general meeting has also
been held to authorise an extension OF the
Victoria Docks, at a total cost Of 500 ,0Oot., the
object being to admit longer and larger ships
into the docks, and 50 increase the general
business of the corporation.
A curious little discussion has taken place
between Mr.. Lowe and Sir Stafford Northcote
upon the increase in the staff Of the colonial
office by the appointment of an additional
Assistant Under-Seoretary. Mr.. 0 said
that when the Colonial Office governed all the
colonies it had only one Assistant Secretary,
and now that the colonies governed themselves,
it had three. He thought it was an evil to re-
lieve the parliamentary officials Of the proper
work Of the Office, and to "cram'' them for par
tieular cases, as they lost by this a most power
full and useful means of educating future states
men. Sir S. Northcote said, in reply. that tho
LEGAL branch Of the Secretariat was not suti-
GENTLY strong for the duties it had to perform.
The fact that certain colonies were seIf-govern-
ino rather added to the business Of the Office
than diminished it. The Treasury were there
fore not prepared to refuse the assistance
which Lord Carnarvon had strongly represent
ed to be necessary.

METEOROLOGICAL REPORT

The dampness of the atmosphere may be mea-
sured by means of two thermometers, read off
simultaneously,-th one being an ordinary one,
and the other having the bulb surrounded by a
wet piece of cloth, from which the water is con
stantly evaporating. The drier the atmosphere,
the more water will evaporate and the lower the
thermometer will stand. The greater, therefore,
the difference between the simultaneous stand of
the two thermometers, the drier is the atmosphere
at the given moment.

It WAS reported in the Journal yesterday that
Charles Spring. well known flour broker, who
has had the reputation Of being oas OF tho
shrewdest operators IN tho city, had abscondej
leaving behind him liabilities yarioualy estimated
at from $40, 600 to $4,000. Ho left Boston
about fortnis sht aince for St. LOUIS. ossoosibly
to look after . lawsuit in which he Was Interest,"
ed. and since his, departure three letters have
been received from him by gentlemen 10 this
city, one Of whom is his SOP. stating that his
affairs we're in such = condition that he should
never return. Mr.. Spring has had the exclusive
patronage OF several Of the largest flour CON.
mission houses in this city, selling immanss
quantities OF flour, and having catte-b blanche to
transfer -four from one party to another. and to

holders of the old companies, 10 per cent upon
Milwaukee l. st. Paul Iailroad stock, and 20 per

of this scheme for lease, or consolidation,
which WAS attempted about year ago, was due
to the opposition OF ths Chicago j. NorLhw est

dcrstood that these interests are now anxious to

roads are greatly in advance OF 1879. and should
d consolidation or lease be perfected they would
be still greater. -.,

more economical management, is likely to en-
gross large share OF public attention BY the
fluctuations OF it's stock. which are as changing
as tho waves over which the chips pass in their

Financial Prospects OF 1874.

From, The .seip York Times, Jan. =.
Now that 1878 is dead. what are the financial

sharper reaction than has as yot been expert
eucod. Tho confidence of the people is being
rapidly restored, and money is becoming abun-
backs will be cheap in Wall street, although for
a few days they may be somewhat stringent,
owing to the large number Of loans called in for
use on tue first Of the year. The money is nearly
back from the grain crop; it is coming in all the
time flom the cotton crop: the people who have
been boarding greenbuc18 arc disbursiug them
out of will or necessity. aud they come down to
Wall street for safo keeping. The S44. .0o0, 600
reserve has been largely drawn upon. and tho
supply Of money. with much lesR busluess to
employ it, has been largely increased. Old rail-
roa1s are worth money because they will not be
forced for years to come to compete With new
ones aud their credit will not bo lured by the
failure Of wildcat schemes
The failure OF the strike on the Pennsylvania
Railroad is forcrunner Of lower prices for labor
along all lines. which will Of course put more
money into the treasures Of the companies. At
present preparations arc being made by nearly
all OF the leading lines for general reduction Of
expenses. ald il the money 10 paid Is PAID on:

progress that had been made during the present
season. Knowing That ii would interest our
readers to learn tue condition Of the enterprise
i'll relation thereto.
a large part of the work 30 far this season has
been performed ut the upper end of the canal.
A coIer~dam, 1900 feet in length ana $50 IN
breadth, Was constructed, in order to e1cayats
for the approach to tho guard-lock. The dam
WAS built under the immediate supervision OF
the Government authorities, but the work OF e1-
cavating has been done by the contractors,
Messrs. httle Co. THIS part Of, Of the M Sd7 %orS Is
with water in few daya. The engines and
pumps will then be removed to the coFer-dam
below tho lower lock, and the work Of e1cayatinG
commenced there IS soon as the water shau
have been pumpted out.
The contractors nave also partly excavnted for
tho prism Of the euard-ock, have the
masonry projections of said lock well
under way, and have done q large amount
Of filling thereabouts. In, addition to this they
Se*0NH
have repaired the embankment in several places.
They have in all excavated 42,000 cubic yards OF
earth, 21 900 cubic yards OF rock, and built 100
cubic yards OF np-sap WALL Their working forco
ct present numbers about 800 men. They hayo
about five mics Of railroad truck. two engines
and about sixty CARS, together with all the nee
essary tools andmachinery. Under their admin
istra:ion the work has progressed rapidly and
satisfactorily.
It is estimated that exclusive Of the n1ontroeo
channel tho work is about three-fourths COM
pleted. The work Of excayatins is nearly fnlsh~
ed. and the masonry of tho middle and lower
locks entirely 80. The remainder Of the work
will be on the guard lock and embankment
walls.
It will require about $500, 600 to complete tho
canal, and the work could be performed within q
year If the money was available, but, with lin
tied appropriations, it is impossible to say when
the enterprise will be finished.
The present appropriation will last until some
time next spring.
The work il divided up as follows: Maj.

charge O. S. Wiley. Civil Engineer, in chntge
