On the present occasion we had a fair opportunity of testing the merits of an unmixed negro party, and of determining how far the various excellences of the gentlemen and ladies previously noticed were attributable to the admixture of English blood.

We are compelled in candor to say; that the company of blacks did not fall a whit below those of the colored race in any respect.

We conversed on the same general topics, which, of course, were introduced where-ever we went.

The gentlemen showed an intimate acquaintance with the state of the colony, with the merits of the apprenticeship system, and with the movements of the colonial government.

As for Mrs.B., she presided at the table with great ease, dignity, self-possession, and grace.
