The Paradise of negroes. Governor Hinks speaks of the negroes in Barbadoes as in better condition than those of any other West India Islands. What that condition is can be gathered from the following extract of a letter to the New Haven Register, dated Barbadoes, February 13th, 1860. --Besides the large class of those who work with some degree of regularity, five days in each week, at 20 cents a day, (8 hours in a day,) and live as they best can, there are many — indeed a multitude Barbadoes, February 13th, 1860. --Besides the large class of those who work with some degree of regularity, five days in each week, at 20 cents a day, (8 hours in a day,) and live as they best can, there are many — indeed a multitude — who do but little work and have no regular occupation. In this class are included the 73,000 in the whole island, and over 12,000 in Bridgetown, who are reported in the last census as having no "fixed employment." It is claimed that these figures might be materially reduced. However this may be, the class is large beyond all precedent in my experience. You meet with them everywhere, of every age, and of both sexes, on the highways, in the open fields, upon the beach, and in every by-path. <
