AmalgamatiOn as Seen in the Dance Halls
of Boston.

The local of the Boston Post, in de-
scribing the dance halls Of that city,
paints vivid pictures of vice. Here is
his account of one he entered. There
were many others like it, but we select
this as a specimen:
Passing into the dance hall, we found
quite a company present tripping the
light fantastic toe to the music Of a
piano forte, with violin accompani-
ment. This hall is about sixty feet
deep, and is fitted up with considerable
taste. The walls are hung with pictures,
real and fancy, and TO give patriotic
east to the whole, the names OF all the
Presidents and the names Of the princi-
pal battles in which Massachusetts col
ored regiments have served are printed
in gold, and relieve the sameness OF the
dingy walls The scene here presented
by those participating in the social
dance is not only novel, but disgusting
Young, good-looking white girls and ne
groes, black as lampblack, mingle and
commingle in the dance, and embrace
each other with seeming tenderness OF
spirit. The tall, athletic specimen OF
the genuine African, with great gusto
and enthusiasm, whirls the young white
woman in the may dance, and at the
signal to promenade for drinks, escorts
her to the bar and treats her to "A tum-
bier of spruce beer and some peanuts.
This scene is revolving in the extreme to
one accustomed to respectable society,
but it is practiced here, in this mixed
company, nearly every night in the year;
Familiarity knows no restraints. All
are on a level, and we have here a per
feet illustration of the theory of negro
equality at the expense of white woman's
respect and virtue

the negroes. This fact explains the
readiness Of the Jamaica Parliament to
commit political suicide. Her Majesty's
Government has acted most prudently in
accepting that sacrifice, aud proposing
TO place the government of the colony
under the restrictive authority of the
crown. From all the evidence ] have
been able to collect, have come to thee
conclusion that for many years to come
the negroes will be unfit to exercise
political power, and, therefore, in my
opinion, to have abolished the authority
of the oligarchy, and to have placed the
political power in the hands of the blacks,
would have left the colony in worse po-
sition than before ] confess look with
great alarm at the proposition to place
the political power in the hands of those
who WELD the brute physical force of the
colony.

British EKpsriments in Negro Suffrage.

In the British House of Lords, on the
18th inst, the bill abolishing the Consti-
tu,ion Of the island Of Jamaica, and
transferring the government Of that col
ony to the crown, was discussed.
In the course of the discussion Earl
Grey, who said he had paid particular
attention to the negro problem for thirty
years, and had devoted particular atten-
ton to Jamaica, made the following re-
marks: SLOW as the progress Of the
colony has been, the negroes by degrees
have acquired property, and a cores
ponding political influence, and 1t is
pretty clear that in a short time the polit-
ical ascendency would have passed out
of the hands Of the whites into those Of

Victor Hugo's new work. Les Ira

Island of Guernsey 1t runs thus |
dedicate this book to the rock of hospi-
tality and liberty-to that little nook of
old Norman land in which dwells a
small, noble, sea-faring people--to the
Isle of Guernsey, rough and gentle, my
actual asylum, my probable tomb. The
following is the preface: Religion, So
ciety, nature these are the three strug-
giles of man. They are, at the same time,
his three wants. He must believe, hence
the temple; he must create, hence the
city; he must live, hence the plow and
ship. But these three problems contain
three wars. The mysterious difficulty of
life arises from all three. Man has to
meet obstacles under the form-supersti-
ton, under the form-prejudice, under
the form-element A triple andnke
(fataiity) presses on us-the ananke of
dogmas, the dnanke of laws, the dnanke
of things In Notre Dame de Paris

Miserables he exposed the second in
the present book he indicates the third
To these three fatalities which envelope
man there is added an inferior fatalit

DEMERARA.

AS we mentioned Ia our issue of the
26th uItimo, the Revenue Gutter Petrol,
under the command of Captain Walker,
left town that morning for the Maruca
creek with a distinguished party, consist
ing of His Excellency the Governor, the
Lord Bishop Of the Diocese, the Attorney
General, the Comptroller of Customs, the
Medical Inspector Of Estates Hospitals,
the Inspector of Schools, the Colonial
Civil Engineer, the Governors Private
Secretary, W. H. Campbell, Esq. and
G. w. Bennett, Esq. The Petrol got
under weigh about halfpast six o'clock
and anchored off the mouth of the Maruca
about a quarter to five o'clock in the
afternoon. The party slept on board
that night. On the following morning Mr..
M'Clintock went off TO the Petrol, accom-
panied by a number of Indians in canoes,
and at halfpast eight o'clock The whole
party proceeded to Warramuri, where
they arrived at noon, and where the dis
tinguished party (who were in uniformly
were received by upwards of eighteen
hundred Indians belonging principally to
the Warrow, Caraibe, Arrawak, and
Accowai tribes. Such Of the Indians as
were supplied with guns were drawn up
in line and saluted His ExcelIency the
