TRINIDAD.

From the antigua Weekly Register we
clip the following ia reference to Trinidad.
We notice that under Governor Irv-
Wings administration of affairs 10 Trinidad
there has been an excess Of revenue over
expenditure for last year of about $50 900
principally arising from increase in Gus
toms & Excise. "The balance at the credit
of the government and avail liable for appro.
p%riation at the end OF 1879 is estimated at
100000" His Excellency, 10 his mes
sage to the legislature, expresses soma
doubts as to whether the consumers have
derived any benefit from the reduction of
duties on certain articles iu general use.
The abolition of tonnage dues has rem
dered Trinidad to that extent a free port,
which is reverted to with great s~atisfac-
ton. The reduction of the tax on land is
also looked upon as a step in the right
direction, considering that its cultivation
is the source of The wellbeing OF all classes
in the island. Governor Irving refers
with evident pleasure to the increasing
prosperity of Trinidad, much of which
may be due to his own energy and ability
in the management of the affairs OF that
colony

BARBADOS.

This island has not escaped the DAM
aging effects OF the heavy rains 30 preva.
lent of late. The Globe gives the following
account Of the condition of the water
works which supply Bridgetown:-
"The most prominent topic of the mo.
meDt 10 the failure of the Water Supply
to the City, owing to the Unprecedented
landslips which have been caused in the
pipe track, owing to the heavy rains-or
as is aot altogether improbable, to some con-
vulsion of nature. of which evidence nav be
seen 10 extensive cracks in some districts.
It is stated that on the East coast of the
island, at some distance from the Light
house erected some years ago, there has
been an upheaviug 10 q shoal which stood
in two or three fslhoms of water, and
that an official report has been addressed
to- the Lighthouse Commissioner on the
subject. bat. possibly, owing to the
absence of the Governor there has been
no official announcement of the fact. The
Water Supply was laid down by . local

forth by the local Directors to meet the
temporary difficulty by a service of water

was known as the "Beckle's Spring" in
the vicinity Of the City. into the pipes for
The supply Of the town as q temporary
measure. Meanwhile the repairs are
being vigorously pushed forward, and 1t
is not improbable that while this sheet is

be resumed. The Directors, feeling that
they should have some more responsible
