names of THOME and KIMBALL, from the United States, on a tour of inquiry lilce our own, into the re sults of Emancipation in these islands. We trust they will find the way opened to them, in some degree, by our previous investigation. Several gentlemen called upon us to take leave ; and we made^a number of- calls with the same object. In the evening we went on board a little schooner, chartered to convey us through the islands to Barbados. In thus concluding the jour nal of our visit to Antigua, we acknowledge with thank fulness, that amidst many discouragements we have been enabled to pursue our inquiries with a good de gree of success ; and we trust, we shall yet be assisted by a strength, not of ourselves, in the much more ar duous undertaking we have immediately in prospect in the islands where the apprenticeship is in operation. We should not do justice to our own feelings, if we did not record here our grateful sense of the readiness displayed by all classes in the colony, to afford us fa cilities of inquiry.
