No Color Line There.

Letter in N. Y. World. Color6d people -are apparenll y very popular in England. There does not seem to be any prejudice against them on account of their color. There are not many colored people in London. The few that I have seen from time to time are invariably in the company of whi e people and associating with them upon a footing of perfect < quality. I saw the other day, upon Regent street, a negro eirl as black as a coal, walking along leaning upon the arm of a fashionable, well-dressed Englishman, who seemed perfectly charmed and contented with his. dusky companion. In the same way I have seen white women; respectable in their appearance and dress, walking in public leaning upon the arms of negrees. Frederick Douglass, when he was here, said there did not seem to be any prejudice in England against he negro on account of his color. The other day I visited the Temple: there I found a negro hard at work in the library reading up for an examination. I was told that his color would not stand in his way in the slightest degree when he came to be examined for admission to the English bar.
