We were met at the door by the American Consul, who breakfasted with us.

When he had taken leave, Mr.C.proposed that we should go over his grounds.

To reach the estate, which lies in a beautiful valley far below Mr.C.'s mountainous residence, we were obliged to go on foot by a narrow path that wound along the sides of the precipitous hills.

This estate is the property of Mr.Athill, a colored gentleman now residing in England.

Mr.A.is post-master general of Antigua, one of the first merchants in St.John's, and was a member of the assembly until the close of 1836, when, on account of his continued absence, he resigned his seat.
