only under the pressure Of extreme circum-
stances that such a change should be made,
and until that time arrives land there. is
no reason why it ever should %arrive) it is to be
hoped that the ~colonists will adhere to that
form of government under which Barbados has
seen many bright and prosperous days. There
is no desire that Governor Rawson, able and
excellent as his rule appears to be, should head
a new chapter in the history of Barbados, so
far as the form of administration is concerned.
To say that the present Executive is not res
ponsible is absurd. 1t is responsible to the
~colOnists through the House Of Assembly, and
to the Queen through the Secretary of State.
But to return to the report. The small crop OF
1872 did not materially affect the revenue,
which was 117,652L. against 119,492L in 1871.
The expenditure was 113,S64l., against 49,
2S41. in 1871. The military expenditure of the
Imperial Government was 54,658I, a Liberal
decrease, as compared with 1871, which was
61,136I. The Island Militia has ceased to
exist. No system of registration of births and
deaths exists in the Island, and the estimate of
the population is apparently governed by the
returns received from British Guiana of the
number of Barbadian immigrants arriving in
that colony, which was 5000 in 1872. There
were a less number of baptiSmS and marriages,
and an increase in the burials registered in
1872. But this is partly explained by the con-
siderable emigration which took place in that
year. Education progresses in a marked de-
gree the total number of scholars IN the
primary and infant schools in 1871 was 1901
in 1872, l5,949, or about s per cent. increase.
OF this number 1880 were in the schools of
the Church of England. With the advance of
education there is a prop0rtionate dimlnutlon OF
crime. The total value of imports was 1,l25,-
030L. in 1872, against 1,191, $751;. in 1871. OF
exports, l,02l443l., against 1,2o8,546l, the
diminution arising of course from the influence
of the drought upon the sugar crop. Nearly
all the sugar comes to England, whilst the
greater part of the mOlasses and rum goes to
the United States and British North America.
The Island has ".struck ile," and is beginning
to export kerosene oil and lucifer matches. and
petroleum is being obtained in larger quantities
from that part which is called Scotland. Upon
the whole the report speaks of the year 1872
as not a f~rst-rate one for the Island, but the
Governor expresses o good hope for the
future.

PERU.

The discovery of an enormous deposit of
guano manure in this Country which promised
most favourably to enhance its wealth, was al
luded to in the columns of one of the former
numbers of the Avis, and the circumstance has
now been confirmed by the report of the commits
sion of engineers who were appointed to investi-
gate and report upon the case. The New York
Herald states the fact as follows =
The news from Peru is to the 9th ult. ALI
doubts about the new discovery of guano had
been set at rest. The commission of engineers
sent to state the truth about the new deposits
say there are at least s, 100000 tons of guano
as good as that of the Chinchas or the Macabi
Islands. This wonderful wealth lies. to the
north of the River LOa, which divides Peru
from Bolivia. The officers of Her Britanic
Maiesty's ship Petrol, who examined the mat
ter for themselves, confirm the view taken by
the Peruvian Commission.

resided here ten years and was a native of Den

Letter from DR.. Holt In Reply to
Mac-Temperance Piedges-Some
Suggestions Of Personal Nature.
WESTON, W. Va, April 29lh, IA.
Editors Of the IntellIgencer.
see that your correspondent (Mac)
has called the attention Of the public to
me as the only physician in the town Of
Weston, that refused to sign different
temperance pledges. All Of which IA
true. As to the different opinions that
may exist in regard to my object for so
doing, am perfectly Indifferent 10 them.
l have not the vanity TO presume that my
signature would have any tendency what.
ever to cause reformation, but claim the
inalienable right to think and act for my.
sell. As for my reasons, l have never
hesitated to express them. It Ia my
opinion that obligations are wholly un.
necessary for the promotion Of temper
ance. Experience has taught me that
those who unhesitatingly obligate them
selves almost invariably disregard their
obligations. Therefore I am opposed to
all temperance organizations that are
bound together and based upon solemn
VOWS, from the fact that at least ten men
who affirm that they will practice total
abstinence, commit perjury to one inebri.
ate who Is truly reformed by such afflr.
nation. This to my mind is sufficient ev.
idence that such organizations instead Of
being productive Of good have decidedly
demoralizing effect. ! have always
been an advocate for temperance
and also practice 1t. In no instance have
l prescribed whisky to one In the habit OF
getting intoxicated, and ! propose at all
times to lend helping hand in every
laudable movement for the suppression OF
intemperance. But because Of my refusal
to acquiesce in the opinions entertained
BY Mac. He has been guilty Of an upjus.
tihable act Of trying to drag me, aprivate
citizen simply practicing my profession,
before the public. From his abatement
all those not familiarly associated with me
would form false impression. And this
was not done ignorantly, for but q abort
time ago, In conversation with Mac, /
clearly defined my position on the oues-
tion at issue. His leap in this cause forci.
6Iv reminds me ofthe goat spoken OF In
ESops Fables, No. 4.
II instead Of dabbling IN every question
that arises, and struggling to make him
sell notorious In what he lily conceiyes TO
be q wonderful display Of knowledge,
Mac would consecrate his limited Sacnl.
ties to the advancement Of christianity Il
would much better bett his pretentions
and give great relief to many who are re.
peatedly annoyed BY his frequent efforts
10 enforce his untenable arguments upon
them. y n. s. HoLT.

pnnsprors OF Rr,rnr0s AND rnp De,

PRoePEcTs OF BUsINRSs AND THE De,
MAND FOR MoNKY-The Cleveland Her
aid, which has been sort Of q "mort
currency" paper, says that something
more than the assurances Of the N. Y
Tribune arc needed to induce merchants
and business men generally to take heart
and hope, and see what can be done to
utilize their chances for spring trade.
"New Yerk merchants and business men
want orders from the South and West.
The South and West want cur
rency to pay for tho goods or.
dercd. Where Is tho currency"
Tothis question the Tribune replies that
the Herald man and his business friends
In Cleveland can get all they want Of II
at present in any Of the great financial
centers at three, four and five per cent.
"1f they have real property on which 10
borrow there Is not tho least trouble in
making loans 10 any extent Currency
Is a drug In the market. II they have
not the property no amount Of issnes Of
shinplasters would give it to them"
AThe Cincinnati Gazette Of yesterday, in
speaking of the monetary situation and
the prospects for business, remarks that
the indications are that there will not be
muchif any demand for money for some
time TO come.
Trade In general Is not on o basis 10
make Il profitable 10 employ more borrow.
ed capital In 1t, and there Is little proba.
bllity that 1t will be during the summer
months. The tardy action Of Congress up.
on the financial question has been blamed
Tor the failure Of business TO revive, but
while that may have been influential, in
some small degree, in retarding the wheels
oftrade, 1t has probably had less effect than
many people imagine. The restoration
ot confidence after such shock as Il re.
ceived last annumn Is necessarily slow.
We think that the progress made in this
direction is as great as could reasonably
be expected under the circumstances, and
the expectation Of complete recovery
from the effects of the panic, and that
business should at once increase to
the volume which prevailed before the
great prUstration last autumn, Is unrea-
sonable. The things requisite TO revival
Of trade to It's iormer level cannot be OBJ
tanned by any forcing process Of legisla.
tion, and the only thing which Congress
can do TO help the matter Is TO cut down
the expenses OF the government, and re.
move all restrictions upon the tree devcl.
opment OF the resources OF the country
consistent with an ample revenue. For
the rest good crops and prudent business
management upon the part Of tho people |
will do more for healthful revival in |
trade than all the tiukering oil the cur.
rency which Is proposed.
