London June 14.  Among the sundry fashionable rooms 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
Southwark.  No Whites were allowed to be present, for all
the performers were blacks.
