METEOROLOGICAL REPORT
FOR FEBRUARY 1877.

During the first half OF this month, the
weather was pretty favourable to the
growth Of the canes, the air being rather
moist, and frequent but small showers fall
ing until the 18th and 18th, on which days
we had very fine showers over the whole
island, but since then none or scarcely any
rain has fallen.
The wind kept pretty steadily in a
northerly direction. Until the Sth it was
E. N. E., then it veered to E. S. E., on
the 1fth to S on the 18th to S. W., but
on the 18th again N. w., and then through
N. N. E. to n. E. and E. on the 10th.
During the rest of the month it was very
~changeable and slight, often a perfect
calm.
The average heat of the atmosphere was
considerably higher than last year, viz
1o2. but only Oo4 higher than 1916. The
great difference has not been caused by
some few very hot days, but the thermO-
meters have every day ranged higher than
last year. The nights even were warm,
the lowest stand of the minimum Their.
mOmeter being 2Io9, the highest Of the
maximum thermometer 1881, the greatest
difference between the two was COS, the
smallest 2o6, the average 4o5.
The moisture Of the air was in the first
halt of the month greater, but in the
latter halt, considerably smaller than last
year, the result for the whole month is
however 1eIo higher than last year.
The rainfall was 500 higher than the
average for the last 25 years, principally
owing to q heavy rainfall on the 18th on
which day +. in. one estate, Canaan, got
S23 lines. The average for this month
was % lines, for the last % years IA
lines.

The eleventh ordinary general meeting
OF the shareholders in this company has
been heId-Mr. 7. Hughes, Q. G., the
chairman OF the company, presiding.
The report stated that the gross receipts
for the half year, including the balance
brought from last account, amounted
to l5,0l1k, and the expenses to 1851,
leaving a sum Of l1,644l, From this the
directors had placed 2,7O0i, to the credit
of the reserve fund, increasing the fund
to 10000. The balance, after providing
for the preference dividend, would admit
OF a dividend on the ordinary shares at the
rate OF 7 per cent. per annum, and leave
the sum of 344E. to be carried forward to
the current half years account. During
the half year the directors had been sue
crssful in settling the differences between
the company and the West India Company
respecting the repairing steamer Suffolk
and in satisfaction Of their claims the
West India Company had paid this COM
pany the sum of 4.OOOL in their 6 per
cent. debentures. The chairman moved
the adoption of the report, and while doing
SO commented on its principal features.
The resolution was seconded and carried

report.

THE WEST INDIAN IN LONDON.

Mr.. Pollard, the Colonial Engineer OF
British Guiana, is now in England on
leave of absence, and is devoting conside-
rabIe time and labour, at the instance of
his Government, IN the inspection of tho
principal reformatories and industrial
schools situated 10 London and Other
parts. The information he is thus OBJ
tanning will be of considerable value in
the establishment of industrial schools in
British Guiana. For a long time past the
necessity for such schools, where agricul-
ture would be taught, has been felt, and
a good system might be expected to result
in an increase of the industry of the poDu.
Iatlon. In some of the schools at home it
is highly interesting to watch the boys
engaged in their agricultural and indus
trial occupations. Such a training can
scarcely fail to induce, in numerous in
stances, q love Of work for its own sake,
and the acquisition Of steady regular ha-
bits OF industry. The information, there
fore. which Mr.. Pollard is acquiring, es-
pecially as TO the working Of the industrial
school system OF England, may be expect
ed to bear good fruit in the colony.

the enemy are SO widely disseminated
Throughout certain specified parts of the
island "as to render very difficult the
capture of African and Chinese individuals,
either slaves or bound to temporary SER
vitude, serving in their ranks, by our
forces" The decree authorizes those
who are of well-known loyalty to
our nationality" to scour the country
around their several RESIDENCES, and cap.
ture all slaves or Chinese who may be
found according to the above circumstau.
ces. Passes are to be granted by the
military authorities and armed men al
lowed to those who wish to join in such
a pursuit. The decree then declares what
is to be done with the captured men. If
after due public notice has been given, the
owners or factors of the Africans or
