Tuk FXAMINER gave a pretty full descrip- | tion of the new road not long since ; and therefore it is not necessary to say much | about it now. The track seems to have | heen well graded, aud the rails securely lai’. There is very little more motion in| the cars when passing over the new line| thea when passing over the old one.

‘wo side statious have been established | for the accommodation of the farmers who| res de near the new line. One of these is| at ‘he village of Somerset, and r-joices in| th» historic and poetic name of Kinkora. The name Kinkora is known to those in-

rested in the history of Ireland as the| ba of a spot on which the famous Brian | Boroimhe held his court and supported a | il magnificence as early as the year of Lord 980; and it is therefore appro-

» as the name of a s‘ation in the midst ne of the most flourishing settlements ne sons of Ireland in this New World. other side station is nearer Cape Tra- | verse, and is called Albany. uilding operations at the Cape are still wive. Neither the envine house, with the | tura-table, nor the stat.on house are yet | finished. The station house will be a| roomy and comfortable dwelling for the| eta ion master and his wife, and will afford | ail the accommodation the travelling public wil. require for some years at least.

hir. Strang’s hotel at the Cape is nearly | finished. and will be ready for the accom- | moiation of passengers as soon as winter | sets in. Whe party, of which the writer | was one, was among the first to enjoy a din- ner within its portals. It is designed to) accommodate not the winter passengers only, but also many of those who may |

seek the cool sh-res of the Island Province during the summer months ; and under Mr. Strang’s careful

management it will probably be a popular |

resort. The country at the Cape is one of | the finest and fairest in which a citizen could find rest and refreshment ; aud it will have the advantage of being the spot on which the tourist of the future will first set his foot. Under these circum- stances, if isnot strange that the price of property in the locality is “looking up” ; and those who, 1k Isaec Clarke, Esq., con tem ate selling out, will probably dispose of their property on good terms. ‘he pier at the Cape is about 1700 feet long—-a substantial structure-- with a railway rack over its whole length. But not far ircin the end of it there was a schooner sronnd on a bar of sand. ‘It is said that aiter this bar is passed, vessels will float at the wharf in nine feet of water, but io get over the bar is possible only to vessels of the bghtest draught.

wflietuing

Sir John McDonald iast session stated 1n the resolution, by way of explanation: ‘That deductions on any sales of fish to the araount of the duty shall be held to be payment for the same.” These words explain fully the intention of the Govern- ment in granting the money; and we have no doubt but Mr. Fitzgerald bears them in mind while investigating the claims that are being brought to his notice. | It is thought that it will iake several ‘days yet to conclude the investigation at

Lieut-Commander Haszard. From the Lowestoft Journal, of the 45th | November— published in Yarmouth County, England—we clip the following respecting the movements of a well known native of Charlotietown

H. M. 8. CHERUB.

“Since the appointment of the above vunboat for the protection of our fisheries,

!

with | the vessel has put in and out of our harbor,

and attracted some little amount of public ittention, She is under the command of

engineer being Mr. Siddorn. Her tonnage is 268, and horse-power 60, and mounts une van, a 64-pounder. Nothing could exceed the promptitude with which she was sent down here on the representation of Mr . Blekbeck, M. P., made to the Admire alty, im response to telegrams receivec from the Drift Net Fishing Protection Society of this port, and she soon made good proof of her utility by bringing in a large haul of nets wilfully cut adrift by some of the foreign trawles who still continue to be the pest of the neighbouring waters and fishing ground The officers evidently take a deep interest in their work, and all on board feel that there isa kind of responsibility attaching to them on the service of rathera different character from that which ordinarily attaches to them. Perhaps all has not been done that some may have expected of the above vessel, but a trivial exception since her cruising about has been recognized by the foreigners, the amount of depredations committed has been slight compared with what was formerly the case. According to nautical language, we may say that the men are smart aud obliging fellows, and are a credit to the service. The discipline on board, like as in most of Her Majesty's vessels, is excellent, and we can easily

‘understand the satisfaction they feel in

serving under so excellent a commander.”

We learn that Lieutenant-Commander Haszard will probably spend the winter among his family and friends in Char-

| lottetown.

| Sir,—The enclosed communication has ' been mailed to me, and, though not Secre- tary toa Board of Trade (an institution | which does not exist in Charlottetown), in order that our merchants may know that their co-operation is desired relative to the very important maiters referred-to, 1 have to request that you will publish it.

Boards of Trade in the sister Provinces are taking action with the view of pressing upon Parliament and the Goverument at Octawa the necessity of guarding the in- terests ot the Marilime Provinces in rela- ‘tion to their fureige and intercolonial trade. ‘In ihe absence of a Board of Trade at | Charlottetown, it is high time that our |} merchants should take such steps as_ will lead to their co-operation with merchants ,of the other Maritime Provinces in all | matters affecting the vital interests of this Province. Hoping a meeting will be called at an early day for the discussion of the important questions to which the enclosed resolution refers. I remain,

Yours truly, A. McoNpit.
