Winter Communication and The “Northern Light.”

Tue Northern Light has beon tried be- tween Georgetown and Pictou during the past two winters—at great expense but with no very great sticces3 or satisfaction. And now she is, it is reported, to be tried at Capes Traverse and Tormentine. Well, this seems but fair and reasonable. If she does not do well iu one place she may do better in another. But we have our doubte. The Northern Light may be found useful in some way. Itt will be a singular circum. stance, if human ingenuity, assisted by lots of cash, cannot find some service in which she may be used. But she cannot in our opinion, be successful at the Capes. She draws too much water. She is toq big and tuo hard to manage ; and_we shall be much sirprised if Capt. Irving does not find, throughout the winter, that he bas a very troublesome white elephant on his hands, and if Tom Allen does not sing “‘cullillua” with greater gusto than ever.

If the Government would sell the North- ern Lisht * for the benefit of all concern- el,” and purchase a good, strong, swift serew-boat of the ordinary kind, to keep up daily communication between Georgetown and the mainland as late as possible in the fall, and as early as possible in the spring, as well as during summer ; and if they would procure ‘two small, staunch, easily- managed steamers — something like tug boats—to ply at the Capes during the depth of winter—they would, in our opin- ion, do right. By getting rid of the North. ern Light they would “get rid of a heavy yearly bill of expense ; by getting a good steamer to take her place on the George” town rowte they woald really benefit the whole Island—and especially all engaged in trale, besides satisfying the people of King’s County, who certainly should have their interests considered ; and by getting two small, smart, strong boats for the win- ter ferry at the Capes, they would, we be lieve, secure to the Island the constant daily winter steam communication guar-

anteed by the terms of Union.

t is, we suppose, too late to carry out this schame during the winter; and, -per- haps, it would hardly be right to enter upon it until the Northern Light has been tried at the Capes. But Northern Light is eminently suczessfal in this last ‘experiment ”’—and we can hardly hope

ualess the

that she will—we hope it may be carried ont next year. It is feasible. There may doubt about the sale of the Northern Light—but surely a purchaser can be found for the old iron that is in her. As for the success of a good screw boat be- tween Georgetown and Pictou for at least a :nonth after and one month before other ports are opened, as well as during summer,

there eam be no doubt whatever abont it. }

The small, powerful steamers at the Capes need not be at all costly ; and even if un- successful, the loss through them could not We believe, however, that, with them, safa crossing at the Capes would be ey on every day not absolutely stormy.

$i Sensational Statements about the Princess Louise.

The fellowing is a portion of a lengthy Montreal telegram to New York papers,— wiuich appears under sensational headings .—

Monrreat, Nov. 26.—The startling infor- mition comes in a most reliable publhcation that a Princess of the blood Loyal, whose ame isdear to us all, is about to becomea Kormanist. It comes to the editor of the paper, upon authority of a well kuown Romanist priest, that the gathering into the fold of this distinguished personage will be pablicty announced befure twelve months are passed.

Much excitement has been caused here amoung all creeds by this statement; and gos- sips are bnsy spreading rumors. The source of the information of the Rey. gentleman has been eagerly looked for, and it is understood to be the ‘Christ Church Parish Magazine,” published at Sideup, Kent, England, a recent number of which contains the following :—

TH! NEXT PERVERT TO ROME.

We are able to state upon excellent author- ity that the English Romanists are making every effort to bring under their influence Her Royal Highaess the Princess Louise. We be. lieve that we are the first to publish this in- telligence, but we are assured. upon the au- thority of » wall-known Romish -priest that the gathering intothe fold of Her Royal

THE CALEDONIAN CLUB. Tae aniiual dinner of the Caledonian Club was held in the spacious dining hall of the Revere House last night. The members of the Club met at their rooms, corner of Queen and Water streets, there formed a procession and, to the tune of - Bonnie Dundee”—discoursed by the Club’s piper— marched to the Revere. At nine o’clock another procession was formed and the members and guests proceeded to the din- ing hall. At the head of the procession the chief waiter might be seen carrying a large haggis, which he—after all had taken seats around the festive board—laid before the Chairman—Hon. A. A. Macdonald, who said grace over the ‘‘ Great Chieftain o’ the puddin’ race.” Among the guests present were Alexander McNab, Esq., Superintendent of the P. E. Island Rail- way; Col. Dunn, United States Consul; James Reddin, Esq., President of the B. I. Society ; Malcolm MeLeod, W. D. Stewart, Esqrs, and Captain Campbell. After grace was said the members took seats and, needless to say, did ample justice to the good things prepared. The following was the Bill of Fare, for which the hostess, Mrs. McNeill, deserves great credit :— FIRST COURSE. CELERY SOUP. Entrees :

Vol-au-Vent of Chicken. Tongue, Garnished Macaroni and Cheese. SECOND COURSE.

Sirloin of Koast Beef.

Ham Vegetables.

THIRD COURSE. Plum Pudding, Cranberry Pies. Lemon Pies, Cream Pies, and Apple Pies. Blanc-Mange, Apples. A la Portugaise, Tipsy Cake. DESSERT. Oranges, Apples, Grapes, Nuts, Raisins, COFFEE.

At the conclusion of the dinner the Chir- man gave a brief. sketch of the work per- formed. by the Society during the past year ; of the visit of the Marquis and Prin- cess, and of the hearty reception they met with from the Scotchmen of P. E. Island. He also spoke feelingly of the death of Mr W. H. Wilson, who was a worthy member of the Club, and of the departure of sev- eral of the members who had left the Prov- ince to seek their fortunes in other coun- tries.

The following toasts were then honored in cold water :—

1. The Day We Celebrate—Responded to by W. D. Stewart, Esq.

2. The Queen—God Bless Her.
