the. President and Stewards conducted their guests to the saloon,
where a table was laid out for near two hundred persons, and
Covered with evtry luxury the Island could afford. The Pre-

by li/e. Crawford, and on his lett by the llon. the Governor.

abletice Of Mr. Malcolm, who was prevented from attending.

Man &merited tribute to his talents and eloquence, regretted
that be did not occupy the Chair on this. occasion, instead of

that hashould again meet with. the same indulgent support, in

task he had tarp perform with reference to the nature of the nub_
