The recent disturbances in the island Of
Barbados-several dispatches concerning
which have lately appeared in our news col
umns-are rather more serious than is gener-
ally supposed. The impression seemed to OBJ
tain at first that the reports were purposely
exaggerated for speculative designs. From
the latest accounts at hand, however, we
learn that intense anxiety still prevails on
me island, and it is feared in some quarters
that tranquility may not be restored as soon
as is desirable. The trouble is traced to the
action of Governor Hennessy in attempting
to force scheme of confederation in the
windward Islands upon the Legislature of
Barbados. BY the settlement of confed-
eration of the Leeward Islands in 1878 the
government was improved by its consolida-
ton and its expense materially re-
duccd. At that time it was the de-
sire OF the Colonial Office to make the
confederation still stronger, as the act under
which the union was effected permitted the
admission of other islands into the confed-
eracy without additional imperial legisla-
ton. The then Governor did not act upon
. suggestion to this effect sent him BY Lord
