There were twenty-four estates under the same attorneyship with the Belle, and they were all in the same prosperous condition.
A short time before we left Barbadoes we received an invitation from Col.

Barrow, to breakfast with him at his residence on Edgecome estate--about eight miles from town.

Mr.Cummins, a colored gentleman, a merchant of Bridgetown, and agent of Col.

B., accompanied us.
The proprietor of Edgecome is a native of Barbadoes, of polished manners and very liberal views.

He has travelled extensively, has held many important offices, and is generally considered the _cleverest_ man in the island.
