 before we arrived : our first object was the post- 

 office ; this took us through a great part of the 

 town. We found the inns and public houses 

 filled with a great number of noisy people ; 

 loaded carts were passing arid repassing ; and, 

 excepting the shops being shut, there was 

 Nothing to indicate its being the Sabbath. In 

 the course of our drive hither, we had noticed 

 what little respect was paid to the day : the

 and numbers were at their accustomed labors 

 in the fields. The chapels, however, in the

 for exertion, were they properly stimulated and 

 brought forward. The manufacture of linen, 

 and the several branches of trade connected 

 with it, is making its way from the north to the 

 southern parts of the Island.
