His labors and exposures were so intolerable, that he had often said to Mr.G., confidentially, _that if the slaves should rise in rebellion, he would most cheerfully join them_! Said Mr.
G., _there was great rejoicing_ among the book-keepers in August 1834! _The abolition of slavery was_ EMANCIPATION TO THE BOOK-KEEPERS.
[Footnote A: The book-keepers are subordinate overseers and drivers; they are generally young white men, who after serving a course of years in a sort of apprenticeship, are promoted to managers of estates.] No complaints were brought before Mr.Chamberlain.

Mr.Gordon pleasantly remarked when we arrived, that he had some cases which he should have presented if the magistrate had come a little earlier, but he presumed he should forget them before his next visit.

When we left Williamsfield, Mr.C.informed us that during five months there had been but two cases of complaint on that estate--and but _a single instance of punishment._ Such are the results where there is a good manager and a good special magistrate.
On Sabbath we attended service in the Baptist chapel, of which Rev.Mr.
Kingdon is pastor.

The chapel, which is a part of Mr.K.'s dwelling-house, is situated on the summit of a high mountain which overlooks the sea.

As seen from the valley below, it appears to topple on the very brink of a frightful precipice.
