Upon four of those plantations where the apprentices have been thus taught, there are a greater number of _married_ couples (which may be considered a fair test) than upon the remaining sixty.

I scarcely ever have a complaint from these four estates, and they are generally reported to be in a most orderly state.
In the memory of the oldest inhabitant, the island has never produced a finer crop of canes than that now in the course of manufacture.

All other crops are luxuriant, and the plantations in a high state of agricultural cleanliness.

I have now great pleasure in having it in my power to state, that a manifest change for the better has taken place _gradually_ in my district within the last few months.
