Great interest was manifested when the Rev. Mr. Taylor, a black gentleman from Africa and native of that place, who was lately ordained Deacon by the Bishop, rose up to speak. He gave the audience interesting accounts of mission work in Africa and other places. The people were highly amused when he spoke in the African tongue. He sang sweetly in it, and repeated some prayers, &c. He was brought up in St. Augustine College in Canterbury, where he graduated as "Licentiate of Arts.’’ We trust that he will succeed in Jamaica, and will act as a stimulus to the black inhabitants to educate their children. We are glad to add that he is quite a gentleman in his manners as well as a scholar.
