London, June 15.  Among the sundry fashionable routs or
clubs that are held in town, that of the black or Negro
servants is not the least: On Thursday night no less than 59
of them, men and women, supped, drank, and entertained
themselves with dancing and music; consisting of violins,
french horns, and other instruments, at a public house in
South-Wark.  No whites were allowed to be present, for all
the performers were blacks.
