(From the Cape Brdon Spirit of the Times.)

The following pithy and well written remarks, from an enteeiiied correspondent, we introduce in our Editorial COI James with much pleasure:

GO AHEAD, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. COMPARE CAPE DRE l‘ON \Vl'l‘l'l P. E. ISLAND. “ Look oti this picture—then on that.”

It is pleasant and highly gratifying to notice the advancementt-f die Ariil and Sciences in the Sister Province, Prince Edward Island. Steam Navigation—Cloth ‘Milla‘JoiIilb‘tnck Companies, mg Mechanical Arts in their various branches, and Agriculture, are till—all going ahead, while, alas ! Cape Breton, with far more natural advantages, is doomed to.contiiiue retrograiling from civil~ ization since its conquest. If we trace the young growth of Forest Lands, glieir situations, and remains of building: over various porliund ufthis Island—add to which a glance at the ruins ofthat once famous city of Loiiisbourg, and a rough guess of its population—no two opinions can exist as to the state Cape Bra. 4"“ .njnyed at the conquest and its present condition. Strangers may ask what are the reasons,tliat such a change for the wuse lllOJld have taken place ’

lab—English Policy, or fully, ifyou will call it, in destroying {he splendid City ofLiiuisbourg, and scattering an industrious po- puliitiou through the wilderness.

fade-The bad management that followed the form ofGnvern- merit laid down after the conquest, naturally attendant on needy jgnumm men, as Governors, (place hunters lroin England) whose poverty was the bane ofthis misgoverned Country.

3d.—'I‘ho want ofati Asseiiibly,to check the acts ofa Govern- ment who liarrasscd and oppressed a willing and industrious population.

4ih.—'l‘be illegal Union of Cape Breton to Nova Scotia, whore- fby our routine has been drained, our local Government denied us, and our prosperity consequently retarded. .

5th.—'I'he Revenue ofour Coal Mines unjustly appropriated

' to defray the enormous debts nfa Royal i-tpeiidtlirift, while the sweat'of the labourer, who contributes to their liquidation, calls . . . I,

Sir Henry visits tlieIpeuple indiscriminately over whom he .OVBl'nl,—lle takes an interest and a lead in most of the under- lfll~l igii within his reach; he is to be found at Public Meetings, foiwarding the proposed objects, and with his talents and his «purse promoting the intentions of the people (an half hour‘- glimpse ofu Governor once in three or four years is all that we experience, all that we at present expect.)

The Steam Navigation Company of P. E. Island have it in contemplation to uiiiio the various port ofilie Sister Provinces, as for as practicable, including Cape Breton, by a Steam Boat of lighter power than the St. George. \Vc hope the Legislatures will liberally assist this enterprize, which, ifcarried into execu- tion, will alford us many an opportunity of visiting that beautiful :pot, as we presume the Boat will pay Sydney it semi-monthly compliment, calling at Pictuu on her return, thereby enabling pari- .leiigers to take the stage for Halifax, where they may arrive on the third day. ‘

Again, reader, let me ask, have] drawn a fair comparison? Have l not shown that P. E. Island, under its own local Govern- ment, is far tnore prosperous than Cape Breton, annexed to Nova Scotia, is, or over can be? The former raises a Revenue equal to her wants, it large portion of which iii expended in local im- provements, particularly in forming Roads, complete aptl IIIDBIUI for all purposes, while this Islaiid,witli arovcnue nl £10,000,

‘ Jannuallv, is even without a sale main Post Road--williout Edu-

cation—without elfil'ient Mills—without the aid of Steam Navi- gation—without its fair share of Representation, and, the great- est ofall evils, without a government ofitu own. I

Although truth is too visible in the above remarks, yet we live in hopes ofbctter days. A fishing Company at Lonisbourg is on the tapis, increased Representation is about to take place, and the establishment ofan indoputidant Press, determined to support the people’s rights, are advantages Cape Breton liasIloIiig been a Stranger to; she now enjoys them, thanks to the “ Spirit of the Times."

Sir; I know of no subject which demands more attention, both from oilr Legislators and the Island in general, than Education; and although of such acknowledged importance, it is, I believe, the farthest born the thoughts of those who ought to have it the nearest at heart.

It is a lamentable fact, and one which hourly comes under our notice, that they who have it most in their power to devote both time and property to increase their knowledge olten excuse them- selves by saying, that they and their children have more in- tolligenco than their ancestors had, and ihut there are many in the world who do not possess, perhaps, one fourth part of the knowledge which they possess ; and still more In-
