Printed in lithograph in facsimile of a manuscript document. Begins by explaining the purpose of the dispatch in true Gladstonian style: 'I find that the impulse which has been given in every other part of the Civilized World to plans of Railway communication has been felt in many of the British Colonies. The subject has been pressed on my attention from many different quarters and under circumstances both physical and economical as distinct and as various as are the conditions of those widely extended Settlements. To attempt to lay down any one set of rules or even a single rule binding inflexibly on the executive Governments of them all, would obviously be futile and impracticable. But the experience of this Country has ascertained some general principles on the subject, the application of which it may now be presumed are applicable in various degrees to the Legislation of every Country in this new field of enquiry. The object of this Despatch is to state, compendiously, what these rules or principles are.' He proceeds to set out his principles under ten headings.

I have addressed to the Governor of Mauritius a Dispatch, in which I have suggested the adoption of a system in respect to Coolie Immigrants, which appears to me to be calculated to meet these evils, and to be applicable also to the case of Coolie or any other Immigrants introduced into the West Indian Colonies, otherwise than at their own Cost. I transmit to you herewith a Copy of this Dispatch, and I request you to consider it as embodying the principles of regulation in this matter, which, if the Colonial Legislatures should be disposed to adopt, Her Majesty's Government would be prepared to sanction.'
