KOFOID TO PHILIP NOEL BERNARD, ESQ, Sir, I take leave to dedicate to you the following papers, which, whatever may be their value, are the result of much labour ; and in dedicating them to you, I feel that I am only performing a duty in placing my bantling at your disposal, for the reason that to you particularly, who are so deeply interested in the progress of the island and its development, and to whom Trinidad owes much, and to others who may worthily follow in your foot- steps, the details therein contained will possess some value. For my part, I can only claim to have performed the work correctly — perhaps the most important element in a book of this nature. I hope that it may prove useful ; I am sure that my chief intention has been to make it so. I am, Sir, Yours faithfully, DAMEL HART. Poet of Spain, Tmnidad, 1th October, 1864. rORT OF Sl'AlN, <)Tii Jli.v, ]hG1. My Dear Sir : I am in receipt of your note of yesterday, iiiforiuing me of your desire to dedicate a A^'ork you have written on this Island to me. I am flattered by this mark of your esteem, and willing-ly accept the honor you do me. If I have been at some pains in directini^ tlie attention of people at home to the resources of this Colony, and if I have endeavoured by word, as well as by example, to break through the old routines to vchich we Trinidadians are so wedded, it is a source of much gratification to me to find that my exertions have been appreciated by one who has always taken such an interest in the welfare and progress of Trinidad as you have done. The present time I think most favorable for bringing forward any thing on the West Indies, and I have no doubt that your Work will be well received, both here and in England. "Wishing it every success, I remain My dear Sir, Yours faithfully, P. X. BKKXAltJ). Dan'if.i, Hart, Ksq. r> H3 HISTORICAL AND STATISTICAL VIEW THE ISLAND OF TRINIDAD. Trinidad is an island lying to the eastward of the province of Venezuela, between JN\ lat. 1<>° :V and 10" 50' W.j long. 61° and QT 4' W. of Green- wich. Its length is about 54 miles, its breadth from 40 to 44 miles. It is separated from the province of Venezuela by the Gulf of Paria, into which falls the northern mouths of the Orinoco. In figure it is oblong. It was first disc(»vtred by Christopher Columbus in his third voyage, on the 31st 'July, 1498. and first colonized in 1588 by the Spaniards. In 1676 the French possessed it, but it was soon restored to Spain. " On the ]2th Febraary, 1797, an expedition for the reduction of Trinidad sailed from Martinique ; on the 14th it put into Cariacou, and sailed on the following morning with some additional transports. The naval command of this expedition was intrusted to Eear- Admiral Henry Harvey ; the troops were commanded by Sir Ralph Abercrombie. The ships and regiments engaged in the undertaking were as follows : — The Prince of Wales Admiral Harvey 98 guns Bellona Captain Wilson 74 jj Vengeance « T. M. Eussell 74 }» Invincible j> W.

On the morning of the 16th. February the alarm reached town that the English fleet had arrived. In the night the Spanish Admiral "Apodaca" called a council of war, composed of his captains, who agreed that the Spanish ships could not be defended nor could they escape, and it was therefore resolved to burn the ships rather than allow them to fall in the hands of the enemy. These ships consisted of the San Vicinte, 84 guns ; the Gallardo, 74 guns ; the Arrogante, 74 guns ; the Santa Cicilia, 36 guns ; and the San Damasco, 74 guns. The ships burnt briskly towards the morning, all but the San Damasco, which being to windward of the rest, the fire took little hold of it ; the flames were extinguished by several boats' crews of the Invincible and Bellona ; she was therefore captured, not having been materially damaged. It may be well to mention that the burning of these ships took place at the east end of the Island of Gasparillo, where they had been at anchor. The little fort on this island was taken possession of on the morning of the 17th February, the troops being at the same time landed on the Peru Estate, the property of an Irish gentleman, S. Devenish, Esq., the distance being about a mile and a half from Puerto de Espana. The drums beat, and the Spanish troops were mustered. A detachment of Spaniards, under the command of Captain Tornos, was sent to i^revent the English from landing, but found them- selves unable to cope with the overwhelming force of the British ; they consequently retreated as fast as they could to town. Some British guns were planted on the hills above the town, which rendered resistance of no avail. Governor Chacon then sent his aid-de-camp with a flag of truce. Suspension of hostilities was agreed on, and the next day a long con- ference took place between Abercrombie, Harvey, Chacon, and Apodaca. The conference was carried on in English by the means of an interpreter, Don Diego Meany. It ended in the surrender of the island to his Majesty's arms ; and on the 18tli February, 1797, the articles of caj)itu- lation were signed by Abercrombie, Harvey, and Chacon. On that day the Spanish troops laid down their arms, and the Island of Trinidad, after THE ISLAND OF TRINIDAD. 7 having been a nominal Spanish possession for nearly three centuries, and a real Spanish colony a part of the time, beheld the British standard hoisted on her forts. Don J. M. de Chacon left tlio island a few days after the capitulation. Himself and Admiral Apodaca were on tlieir arrival in Spain placed under close arrest, and on the 28th May, 1797, were tried by a court-martial, called in Spain a council of war. The court was composed of president, the Count Cambre Hermosa, Governor of Cadiz, Vice-Admiral the IMarquis de Arellanos, Vice- Admiral Don V. Morahs, Lieutenant-General T. Arias Saavedra, ^lajor-General F. Solano, Major- General F. Taboada, and Rear- Admiral Pedro Austran. The prosecutors were Brigadier of the Royal IN'avy, Don J. S. Valdenebro, and Lieutenant- Colonel Don F. de la Torre. The accused were honourably acquitted. Abercrombie, after making the best arrangements that the confused state of the colony allowed, departed two months after, leaving his aid-de- camp, Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Picton, as Governor, whose first act was to institute a council, consisting of Don Christoval de Robles, a Spanish Creole, John Nihell, John Black, and John K'ugent, Fsqrs. (Irishmen), and St. Helaire" Begorrat, Esq., a French Creole of JMartinique, who formed a council of advice, not of control. On the 27th March, 1802, the definitive Treaty of Peace between England and France and her allies, viz., Spain and the Batavian Republic, w^as signed at Amiens. By the third article all places taken during the war by Great Britain were to be restored, save Trinidad and Ceylon ; and in the fourth article his Catholic Majesty cedes and guarantees in full property and sovereignty the Island of Trinidad to his Britannic Majesty." The climate of Trinidad is, generally speaking, very healthy ; the tem- perature ranges in the shade from 71 minimum to 84 maximum. The thermometer in the months of December and January at four o'clock a.m. has been known as low as 68. The rainy season generally commences about the middle of June and ends in December. The yearly average fall of rain is 77 inches— that is, according to the rain gauge kept in Port of Spain ; the fall is heavier in some parts of the island, of which there is no possibility of ascertaining, from an account not being kept by the residents. The island is totally free from hurricanes. The area of the island is 1,754J square miles. Port of Spain is the chief town and port of entry; it is situate about 16 miles east of the entrance to the gulf by the Grand Bocas, and lies in latitude 10° 39' K, and longitude 61° 34' W. of Greenwich ; it is by far the best laid- out town of any in the "West Indies. There are 55 streets, all at right angles, properly macadamized, and varying from three-quarters to one mile in length, and from 30 to 45 feet in width ; the principal commercial part of the town being St. Vincent-street Wharf and King-street. Port of Spain is abundantly supplied with the best water from the reservoirs at Maraval and St. Ann's, a distance of four miles from Port of Spain ; the daily delivery of water from these reservoirs is estimated at 2,600,000 gallons. There are three beautiful squares in Port of Spain — Marine East, Marine West, and Brunswick-square, all of which w^ere, in like manner as the town, laid out B 2 8 HISTORICAL AND STATISTICAL VIEW OF by Sir Ralph. James AYoodford, Bart. Brunswick-square is about 500 feet square, and planted out with various descriptions of trees imported from St. Vincent, Caraccas, and India. There is also the Queen' s-park, ■which lies north of the town, the area of which is 219 square acres ; on it is a race-course of a circular form, and one mile and a half in distance ; there being also a race- stand capable of containing 500 persons, with rooms for refreshments, the jockeys and stewards. The park is a perfect level, and its equal difficult to be found anywhere. It is resorted to in the morning and evenings by pedestrians and equestrians, as it affords a veiy pleasant walk or ride Outside the park is a circular road of two miles, which also forms a delightful drive or ride, and is much resorted to in the evenings. There are also the minor towns of St. John, St. Joseph, and Arima, east of Port of Spain, and the town of San Fernando, which is next in imjDortance to Port of Spain, and lies 28 miles south from Port of Spain. The towns of Port of Spain and San Fernando are under the jurisdiction of borough councils, the former consisting of 15 elective members, the latter seven members, one of whom being annually chosen as mayor. The annual assessed amount of rents of houses in Port of Spain is .£81,052 sterling, upon w^hich an annual tax of five per cent. is raised. The total revenue of the Borough Council of Port of Spain is £6,378 sterling, and that of San Fernando £2,166 sterling, which amounts are expended in cleaning, repairing, and making streets, maintenance and keep of poor houses, schools, hospitals, vaccine, salaries of officers, markets, &c., &c. The harbour, or '^ Gulf of Paria," is the finest in the "West Indies, being completely landlocked, free from shoals, reefs, or sunken rocks, good auchorage, and capable of containing any number of shipping. A lighthouse is erected on the Queen's Wharf, the light from which can be seen to the westward at a distance of ten miles. The population of the island, according to the Census of 1861, amounted to 84,438 — say 46,074 males, and 38,364 females — of the following classification : — Trinidad ... ... 46,936 Foreign ... 4,301 British Colonies ••• ... 11,716 China 461 United Kingdom ... 1,040 India ... 13,488 Africa ... ... 6,035 Non-described 461 and located as follows ; Port of Spain ... 18,980 Diego Martin "Wa rd Union ... 5,674 San Fernando ... 4,429 Couva do. ... 10,684 St. Ann's Ward Union ... 6,716 South Naparima do. ... 8,290 Tacarigua do. ... 9,891 North do. do. ... 9,787 Arima ... 4,011 Cedros do. ... 3,737 Mayaro ... 1,032 Moruga do. 304 Blansicheuse 903 THE ISLAND OP TRINIDAD.

RUSSELL, Auditor General. Trinidad possesses a collegiate school and a college for boysj tlio former, the Queen's Collegiate School, founded by the Government in 1859, with an annual grant towards it of £2,740 'sterling ; the latter was established in 1836 by the Right Reverend Dr. Daniel McDonnell, Roman Catholic Bishop ; it receives no support from Government. There is also a seminary, under the title of the " Convent," for the education of young ladies ; it was founded by the Sisters of the Order of St. Joseph, and is an establishment ably conducted by several nuns. The Government have two model schools for children of both sexes, and thirty primary ward schools ; the expense for teachers of the former is <£4.50 per annum ; the expense of the ward schools is defrayed from the funds of the wards. The Borough Councils of Port of Spain and San Fernando have also their schools for girls and boys. The Government schools are under the inspection of a paid inspector, A. W. Anderson, Esq., who receives a salary of £500 per annum. The total average daily attendance of children at the ward schools in 1863 was 1,069, and the amount expended by the several wards during that year, in respect to education, amounted to £3,163 15s. Id. sterling. There is an Inland Post-office amalgamated with the General Post- office. There are nine established mail routes, besides four foot routes ; the total transportation of mails on these routes being 65,058 miles, at a cost of £3,454 sterling, or 13s. |d. per mile. There are twenty-one post- offices throughout the island ; the total delivery of letters averaging annually 111,682 packet letters ; inland, 77,673 letters. The number of newspapers received from the United Kingdom is 60,000, and transmitted thereto 12,000. A letter can be sent to any part of the island for Id. the half-ounce. There are also letter carriers for the town of Port of Spain. There are two local steamboats under contract, for the con- veyance of mails, police, and prisoners, the cost of which is £4,500 per annum. There are several institutions kept up at the public expense : two hospitals, £7,885 ; lunatic asylum, £1,720; leper asylum, £1,910; wash-house and bath-house, £200 ; royal gaol, £5,875. There is also a botanical garden, established in 1820 by Sir R. J. Woodford, and under the direction at that time of a Mr. Lockhart ; it has been from year to year increased with the rarest plants and flowers of various descriptions, which are annually imported ; the grounds are laid out with much good taste ; the Government expend thereon £700 per annum, namely, £300 salary of botanist and gardener, and £400 for implements, &c. The soil of the island is rich, and produces in addition to the cane, cocoa, coffee, and cotton, various kinds of provisions, such as yams, plantains, sweet potatoes, cush cush, tanias, rice, corn, and manioc, but not in sufficient 16 HISTOEICAL AND STATISTICAL VIEW OF quantities for the consumption of the island ; hence it is that the market is largely supplied with plantains from Venezuela, and yams and potatoes from Grenada and some of the other neighbouring islands. Vegetables of almost every description are also raised, particularly by the ('hinese, whose knowledge in gardening is great, whilst they are most attentive and steady in such work, more especially where the land is their own. The country is abundantly wooded and well watered, except the Napa- rimas, where the want of water is much felt, there being no river in that part of the island. The inhabitants of San Fernando con- sequently suffer great privations during the dry season ; the few springs that exist there are on the lands of private parties, who make a handsome revenue from the sale of water ; during the present year (1864) as much as 90 cents (3s. 9d. sterling) was paid for a puncheon of water. The timbers of the island are numerous, and consist of cedar, cip, mora, carapo, balata, yoke, roble, tapana, galba, purple heart, locust, poui, fiddle-\vood, capivi, leopard-wood, and a number of other descriptions ; very extensive samples of which were a short time since collected by S. Devenish, Esq., and forwarded to Admiral Milne. There are also many other kinds of wood of softer species that are used for staves, shingles and boards. The fruits of the island consist of bananas, bell-apple, golden-apple, pine- apple, sugar-apple, musk-melon, water-melon, granadilla, grapes, oranges, mangoes, malacca apple, guava, mamee, sapodilla cashew, custard-apple, India plum, sour sop, shaddock, star-apple, pomegranate, quinces, &c. There is a pitch lake ninety-nine acres in extent, situate in the ward of La Brea, which is about thirty-eight miles south from Port of Spain ; it is of considerable value, and affords a slight revenue to the island ; the greatest proportion of the lake appertains to the Earl of Dundonald by lease from the Government. Coal is also to be found in the ward of Manzanilla on the east coast of the island ; its quality was tested on board of her Majesty's steamer Buzzard, and was found to be very good. Immigration is fully encouraged by the Government from India and China, the amount voted for the same for the present year (1864) being £28,210, to which must be added the expense of the fixed establishment, amounting to £1,880, making a total of £30,090. By the Census of 1861, there were 13,488 Coolies and 461 Chinese ; since then there have been imported, say, in 1862, 1,967 Coolies and 452 Chinese, and in 1863, 1,798 Coolies, giving a total of 17,253 Coolies and 913 Chinese. Of these numbers, by a late return of the Agent- General of Immigrants, say to 31st December, 1863, there were — Indian immigrants on estates who have not completed a residence of five years ... ... ... ... ... 10,072 Do. do. on estates under contract who have completed an industrial residence of five years ... ... ... 1,308 Po. do. who hold certificates of industrial residence not under indenture ... ... ... ... 4,058 15,438 Number of Chinese who have not completed a residence of five years in the colony under indenture . . ... ... 257 THE ISLAND OP TRINIDAD. 17 These immigrants (Coolies and Chinese) are by the same return shown as located on 154 different estates ; the largest number on any one estate is 206 (the Orange Grove Estate in the county of St. George). The revenue collected on account of the annual outlay was in 1863 £16,137 sterling. RETURN OF IMMIGRANTS FROM 1845 TO 1864. COOLIES. CHINESE. AFRICANS. WEST INDIA ISLANDS, FAYAL, (SO. Year. M. F. B.

Previous to the introduction of immigrants from India and China, there was a large influx of labourers from the other colonies, as also a number of American labourers expressly imported at the expense of the colony, but correct returns thereof have not been found.

In former years Trinidad could pride herself on the best militia force to be found anywhere. It consisted of a squadron of light dragoons, a squadron of hussars, a brigade of artillery, thirteen regiments of foot and three corps of mounted chasseurs, the whole of which was kept up with strict military discipline. It was disbanded by Sir. George F. Hill in 1839. The total force by a return made up in the Blue Book of 1837 was as under : — Staff Officers ...

The Government buildings consist of a Government House, Court House, Treasury, Bonding Warehouse, Police Barracks, Eoyal Gaol, Leper As3dum, Lunatic Asylum, Colonial Hospital, San Fernando Hospital, Bath- House, Wash-House, and Prince's Building. Government House is divided into a spacious hall, where the Legislative Council meet, and offices for the Governor, Colonial Secretary, Private Secretary, Clerks, Auditor-General, Attorney-General, Keeper of Maps and Surveys, Official Assignee, Secretary of Central Road Board, depository for stationery, and printing-office. The Court House is divided into two court-rooms, one for the Supreme Courts, the other a Msi Prius and Complaint Court, besides offices for the three Judges, Registrar of the Courts, Eegistrar- General, Clerk of the Complaint Court, Solicitor- General, Marshal, and depository for proceedings. The Treasury is divided into offices for Eeceiver-General, his assistant and clerks, Commissioner of Assessed Taxes, Supervisors and Agent- General of Immigrants. The building is of old standing, being formerly the residence of the late Patrick O'Brien, after whose death it was purchased by Robert Neilson, and sold by him to the Colonial Government for its present purposes, for the sum of £6,000 sterling. The Government buildings were commenced by Governor Sir H. MacLeod, who laid the foundation-stone on the 15th February, 1844. They were opened with much ceremony by Lord Harris on the 2nd November, 1848. Although in an unfinished state, they do little credit to either the architect, engineer, or builders, as they have more the appearance of a penitentiary or a factory. The Colonial Hospital is a building which at one view displays the taste, skill, and ability of the engineer, L. W. Samuel, a native of the island ; its length is 390 feet by 64 feet in width, with open galleries of 10 feet wide on both sides of the first floor. It is capable of containing 200 patients. It cost £30,000 sterling. It was commenced by Governor Sir C. Elliot in 1855, and opened by Governor Keate on 1st September, 1858. The San Fernando Hospital was also erected by Governor Elliot, and under the direction of L. W. Samuel ; its length is 224 feet, and its width 56 feet, with open galleries on either 20 HISTORICAL AND STATISTICAL VIEW OP side 12 feet wide. It is capable of containing 100 patients. It was opened on 1st August, 1859. The Lunatic Asylum was also commenced by Governor Elliot, and, as far as locality and circumstances will admit of, is a suitable building. It is situated in the suburbs of the town, in the locality known as "Belmont.'' It was opened on 27th September, 1858, when forty lunatics were admitted. It is now capable of containing eighty persons. The Leper Asylum is situated at Cocorite, distant 2| miles from Port of Spain. It was formerly the Ordnance Stores, and was purchased from the Home Government by Governor Sir H. MacLeod for its present purpose. It was opened on 12th May, 1845. The first medical superintendent was J. L. O'Connor, M.D., K.A. The Prince's Building was commenced during the tenure of office of Lieutenant-Gover- nor J. Walker, and at the time his Koyal Highness Prince Alfred was expected to visit the island in 1861. It is built in the shape of a cross, with very spacious ball-room, supper-room, lounging- room, bar-room, and retiring-rooms. It is, however, built without any direct plan of archi- tecture. It is used for public entertainments. It cost £12,000 sterling, although the inner jDart yet remains unfinished. There is a Public Library, established in 1851, towards which there is a Government grant of £300 sterling, besides the revenue derived from the subscribers. There are 6,000 volumes of books of the best selection. It is governed by a committee elected annually from among the sub- scribers. The places of worship in Port of Spain are Trinity Church and All Saints Chapel. The interior of the former is built somewhat in the style of Westminster Abbey. It was erected by Governor Woodford, who laid the foundation-stone 30th May, 1816 ; and on Trinity Sunday, 15th May, 1823, it was consecrated. All Saints Chapel was erected by Governor MacLeod, the foundation-stone of which was laid by Lady MacLeod on 4th November, 1844. There is also the Eoman Catholic Cathedral and four chapels. The Cathedral is very handsome and well built, the architecture reflecting great credit on the architect, the late P. Eeinegle, who was also the architect of Trinity Church. The founda- tion-stone of the Cathedral was laid by Governor Woodford on 26th March, 1816 ; it was consecrated by the Right Keverend Bishop Daniel McDonnell on 15th April, 1832. There are also a Wesleyan, a Presby- terian, a Baptist, and a Portuguese Chapel, all of which are well and neatly built. The Military Barracks at St. James are buildings which do credit to Trinidad, are spacious, and with every requisite accommodation. They were commenced 21st January, 1824, and completed 11th June, 1827. They cost £80,000 sterling. They are distant 1^ mile west from Port of Spain. The crime of the island is much less than that of other countries, in proportion to the population, and the natives of the island form but a small proportion of the total commitments. By the profitable employment of the prisoners, the prison department is made seK-supporting, as shown by the following return, classification, and table : — THE ISLAND OF TRINIDAD. 21 Return op Prisoners Committed to Prison, with particulars of Crimes, Country, Profession, Age, Religion, (Jourts Committed from, Number of Times Committed, Expenditure, &c., for the year ending 31st December, 1863.

The total annual cost of the force is £13,949 : say, salaries and allowances for house rent, £10,949 ; clothing, maintenance of prisoners at police stations, purchase of horses, horse feeding, &c., £3,000. The force is inadequate to the wants of the island, particularly with the mixed popu- lation of which the island is made up. There are eighteen police stations besides the head- quarters — Arima, Cedros, Arouca, Diego Martin, Blansicheuse, Mayaro, Chaguanas, Monos, Couva, Mucurapo, I La Brea, I Oropouche, I St. John, St. Joseph, St. Cruz, Savanna Grande, San Fernando, Toco. The prison department consists of one inspector, one superintendent of prisons, one medical officer, one chaplain, two clerks, one overseer, one teacher, seventeen turnkeys, and two matrons. The total annual expen- diture of the establishment is £5,875 : say, salaries and allowances for house rent for turnkeys, £2,325 ; provisions and other necessaries, £3,550. In 1850 an Ordinan'ce, No. 24, was passed for carrying out sanitary regulations, but such are the disadvantages to be contended with under the Ordinance, that great difficulty is experienced in enforcing those regulations. Considering, however, the many drawbacks to contend with, the town is kept clean as far as the means will permit. A geological survey of the island was commenced in 1856, by Mr. Sawkins, who was soon after joined by Mr. Wall, who jointly continued their surveys until December, 1858, when they made their report, which is voluminous, and shows the great resources of the island. Besides a salary of £300, the geologists were allowed £1 per diem for personal and travelling expenses. There are several hills in the island, some of which are remarkable at a great distance ; their names and height are- Feet. Tiicutche .. 3,012 Diego Martin Blansicheuse .. 2,271 Fort George...
