THE MINISTERS OF THE RESPECTIVE PARISHES 
A Nil CNDtt* THE SUrKSINTBNDANCt OF 
A Committee of the Society for the Benefit ts 
the Sons and Daughters of the Clergy. 
PLAN OF THE WORK. 
I. The Parochial Divisions will be adopted, as as- ? 
fording opportunities of fidi and accurate detail, not 
attainable under any oilier arrangement; and the 
Parochial Accounts will be drawn up acid contributed 
for thia Work by the Clergymen of the respective 
Parishes. 
11. The Perishes Grill be' exhibited under their res respective 
pective respective Counties; and, as far as possible, will be 
classed according to their proximity io situation, h 
may be found expedient generally to present in one 
and the same number portions of separate Counties; 
but each of these portions will havs a separate and 
independent senes of pages,—to be afterwards re resumed, 
sumed, resumed, when, in future Numbers, the remaining por portions 
tions portions of the same Counties shall be presented,—the 
intention of this arrangement being, that no delay may 
take place in waiting for the immediate completion of 
the Counties,—and that, on the termination of the 
Work, all the Parishes mffy be bound up together 
under tbeir respective Counties, according to direc directions 
tions directions to be given to the binder. 
IIL The following Divisions, embracing all the 
topics of enouiry, will be adopted in each Parochial 
account; ana the same order in these Divisions will 
be observed uniformly by all. 1. Topography and 
Natural History of the Pariah. 2. Civil History. 
3. Population. 4. Industry. 5. Parochial Economy. 
The First and Sec wd Divisions will have the benefit 
of elucidation from County Maps, one of which (pra. 
pared for this work by Lizars) will be presented in 
each County there will be appended a tabular sum. 
mary of whatever particulars belonging to the several 
parishes are capable of tfeing exhibited io a tabular 
farm. 
IV. The Work will be concluded by a Geher&t 
Summary, descriptive of the whole Statistical condi. 
tion of Scotland, and comp i 'd from the authentic 
Wteri&ls of the preceding ’ oleines, to which it will 
constantly bear referc ace. As this part ot the Work 
will have pretensions t» tffe greatest interest and im, 
porta-uce, dud provision will be made that it may be 
executed in the most able, faithful, and Scientific 
manner; and that, in connexion with the Parochial 
details on whiefi it will proceed, it may constitute « 
document in every point of view deserving of the at attention 
tention attention of-the country. 
V. It is expected that the Work will not exceed 10 
Volumes, Bvo, and will he published at regular inter intervals 
vals intervals of three months, in Numbers—each Number 
containing about 30U pages,—and three Numbers 
forming one Volume.

To the Editor of the Port of Spain Gazette. 
” Grant me patience, of all the cants that are 
“ canted in this canting world, tho’ the cant of hvpo hvpo“ 
“ hvpo“ crisy may be the worst, the cant of •» Temperance” 
H is the most provoking.” 
Mr Editor —Our intellcctnal optics have been ex exceedingly 
ceedingly exceedingly refreshed, and our appetite for the “ mar marvellous” 
vellous” marvellous” amply satisfied by the perusal of sundry 
documents contained in your three fast Gazettes, 
recommending the inhabitants of tlrese parts to in. 
crease the ranks of the “ Temperance Societies of 
America, England,&c. Now, Mr Editor, we are no 
advocates for excess, nevertheless, we must declare 
our decided hostility to all such humbug as associa associations 
tions associations for the prevention of discussing a bowl of punch 
or a jorum of gin-twist. It -seems to be the aim of 
this sage society to banish spirits from off the face of 
the earth ; to extirpate forever, and for aye, all stills, 
fermenting vats, porter butts, together with the whole 
apparatus of brewing and distilling! a consummation 
which we, in the plenitude of our unbelief predict that 
neither they nor any other earthly power will be ever 
tibia to accomplish; nor is it meet that it should be so, 
because, forsooth, a few depraved and worthless indi individuals 
viduals individuals choose to become drunkards, must a whole 
community be deprived of what is in reality a sub substantial 
stantial substantial blessing? Yes, we maintain in spite of all the 
dogmas of tire Temperance Society, that spirits are 
in themselves a positive blessing; it is only the abase 
of them that i* an evil, and we are not yet sufficiently 
enlightened by tiie Genius of Temperance to be 
enabled to prove that any superfluity, even of life, 
should be extirpated, merely because perhaps a 
I twentieth part of a community, and that generally 
I the most worthless, is pleased to abuse it. We have 
not the command of so extensive a stock of credulity 
as to pay much deference to saeh reports at your 
correspondent has adduced, in as much as we are well 
aware, that Iwl hltl- difficully is experienced by 
partisans in “ getting up" such evidence, in proof of 
which, need not go further than the m<ny false 
representations on colonial slavery, which in Britain 
meat with as implicit belief as your correspondent 
seems to expend on those of the Temperance Society, 
: but which we imagine will be fully as near the mark* 
after deducting sl'feast 70 per cent. We know not 
who your correspondent may be, that brings forward 
ti e sage motion of establishing a branch of this 
society m Trinidad Na sooner have we got rid of the 
■ Anti. Slavery Society, end their blessed labours, than 
i we are to be saddled with another incubus, in ghr 
, of a Temperance Society ; we seem doomed to be 
< ridden to death bye very society in existence by turns. 
; Certca it can be no planter, or any one whose avo- 
I cations subject him to the influence of a vertical sun, 
I or to tiie dewr of a tropical night, to whom we are 
at present indebted, otherwise l*c would have some 
fellow feeling for such as are compelled to labor m 
1 such “ drouthy” callings ; —we sa’y that we cannot 
assume that he sea planter—if so, we could have but 
I one opinion of tie soundness of that part of Ids 
I “figure-head” where, -by urtes, ” the brains are 
, supposed to dwell How could i.ny planter possessing 
-• mens suna incorporg ear." dream of dispensing 
with bis meridian, after sweltering for bourn in a cane 
piece, how grateful is the modicum of brandy and 
water or rum swizzle to his thirsty love. What would 

the Temperance Society have us substitute in lieu 
thereof! would they have us imbibe the pure “ agu* 
lucida r truly the very ideaalmo-t gives u» lever and

: their neck to the matrimonial yoke, and who at even- ; 
i tide prefer a compound ol smoky water, Ifohea a< d 
■ syrup to the stuff that “sparkles on the board; 
only fancy Mr Editor, what sort ol an affair it would 
be, providing that upon the invitation of any of car 
friends to dinner, we should discover that no brandy* 
no gin, no rum, no porter had their dwelling place 
there, because, forsooth our friend had become a 
convert to the Tempe ran-re hereay, and instead M 
bringing forward his stock of st rang waters as in dity 
bound he should, forthwith proceed to read as an 
anathema against swizzle, giu twist, locust ale, aru 
the whole tribe of liqueurs, not forgetting home mode 
shrub, of which we would have but slender objections 
that the Temperance Society should march off wit h 
the whole hatch to the tune at “ Deittak the kinu kinumost," 
most," kinumost," instead of the genteel, tall, lady-like champagne 
glasses, a parcel of vulgar blue booby-ließiied lumber lumberffl" 
ffl" lumberffl" cotfee cups should present thmr temperance look looking 
ing looking faces to our astonished view ; what would be the 
issue Mr Editor ’ why, .that we would call far our 
andes and dunning our Panamas, ride home, with any 
of our friends, wife like ourselves, were admirers of 
every thing spirited, and there drink contusion to our 
heretic brother of the Temperance Society and *ll hia 
coadjutors. 
How can it be expected that the inhabitants of 
Trinidad will become converts to the visionary theo theories 
ries theories of this enthusiastic society.—we, whose live livelihood 
lihood livelihood depends in a great measure upon the sale of , 
I those very spirits, the consume of which they would ; 
havs ua joint in condemning ! This would be pretty ; 
| policy. Truly, they must lake u» for very simple- , 
tons indeed. We have hoard individuals of this dry . 
'fraternity aver that wine is not forbidden by their 
“ Orders in Council," because it is not spirits. Now, 
; if any Temperance Philosopher will lake the trouble 
of passing a few hours in so unhallowed’a manieir as 
distilling wine, he will discover that it contains most 
excellent brandy— so that they drink brandy merely 
under another name, We have ever preferred call calling 
ing calling “ a spade a spade,” and shall continue to do ao 
until the Temperance Society shall be able to demon demon-81rate 
81rate demon-81rate to our satisfaction that hypocrisy is a virtue. 
Otten have we had our ears regaled by the “ thousand 
i and one” hypotheses of sages of this brotherhood on 
this utopian subject; often have we heard of the 
improved conduct of their seamen, —this may be tba 
case at sea, where they cannot obtain spirit*—but 
we have sfith onr own eyes seen them again in a 
state of beastly intoxication a-shore, so that there is 
Ino voluntalry, no radical change. We well remerutar 
having our risible faculties highly excited by (he 
hiccuping palaver of a long-visaged, puritanic couu couu! 
! couu! tryman of our own, who, over his port 
- wine sangaree, “ discoursed must eloquent” nonsense 
on the evils of excess and the valuable labors of 
i the Temperance Society ot Ktlmamielt. o£ which 
' body he professed himself an unworthy brother; 
I whilst the tonsian of his capacious jaws, which 
Dame Nature never seemed to have constructed 
with reference to temperance of any kind, were much 
relaxed bv his potations, and his uivsaic nose was 
j'icbly and beautifully studded with innumerable car carbuncles 
buncles carbuncles which darkly hinted at fearful secrets of the ! 
world of spiriu. “Temperance,” Mr Editor, is 
“ inode roti on." Moderation we advocate as sincerely 
as any disciple of this Anti-Fe'mentation Society, j 
and it will require stronger arguments than they have 
as yet brought forward to convince us that a camni u unily 
nily unily would do well to give up tho enjoyment even of 
of a luxury, merely because a few uubi'ciles are foolish 
■ enough to abuse the blessings of Providence. 
We are, Mr Editor, 
Your very obedient servants.
