The masters of the sehooners Fulton. lluhy. Montana, and Grillon, had chartered an English brig for $l,050 to bring up their fish. I

The committee estimate, that although some vessels have undoubt- edly been lost at sea, with all their crews. the whole number of ves- eels ashore and lost will not exceed seventy-five, and the numbe of lives lost will not exceed one hundred and fili . 'l be following is a list ofthe lives thus for known to be lost, an the names of the ves- aela to which they belonged:

Several unknown vessels, it is supposed, foundered at sea. which were of course lost. The committee visited the wreck of one about 80 or 90 tons, a mile outside of Malpcc Harbor, but could not ascor- tain her name. She had an eight squuru bows int, and from this they judged that she was either a Gloucester or rovince-town ves- aal. She appeared to have fonndered at her anchors.

Public attention has for some time past been directed to the importance ofestablishing Railway commuification between the southern sea board of Nova Sooiia, and the St. Inwrcnce, with a branch line to connect the Main Trunk with Ytlia listl- way system of the United States. The negocistiona which I deemed it my duty to open last year with the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for the Colonies, results in the generous of- fer from Her Majesty's Government to recommend to Parliament to guarantee or advance the funds rsqiiired to construct both these lines. on certain conditions, the adjustm-at of which, do- ring the previous summer, rendered communication with the Goveruinents of the neighboring Provinces indispensable. 'I'he Legislature of Canada have made provicions for their portion ofthe line from Halifax to Quebec and for its cxtcnlion through the territory of that Province to their Western frontier. The Government of New Brunswick waits your ratification of the terms p'oposed at the conference held at Toronto, in June last, to :eaeinli'c the Legislature, with a view to secure -its friendly co-opr-ration. As the Imperial Parliament will probably in ct early in the new ye.-r, and it is of great C0'llt‘quEIICB that the Laws parsed by the Colonial Governments Illtllllll he trans- mitted without delay, to secure the appropriations contempla- ted, in time to warrant the coininenceincnt of operations in the Spring, I have called you to,-gether at this unusual period, eon- fideni that you wil, at whatever personal sacrifice. sid me by a prompt and calm consideration of a question, ofsucli nreut mag- nitude and impuriniico.

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 11. 1851.

We can hardly call to remembrance when we have experienced more solid ratification than during our all, on Wednesday last. The frccll of the Royal Agricultural Society has been well and ably responded to, and it beginning has been made which only requires to be followed up, in ordcrto secure for Prince Edward Island not only an equality, but a preeminence, in the cultivation of many of those articles on which'the sustentation and comfort of society de- pend. Of the ability of the soil to produce the potato equal in yield or goodness to any of the most favoured portions of the globe, there has never been a doubt; that other esculent roots could be raised with uni facility and equal success, has been a topic fruitfiil, if not in sound a ument, at least in bold assertion and equally bold denial. All dispute u it the subject is now at an end. Edible roots, what or tuberous, bulbous, or fhsiforui, can be equally as well grown in the Island as in an rtof America or Europe, if equal skill, ca ital and a r be expended in their production. Committee acted udiciously, we think, when they shined the scene ed the Industrial Exhibition ll-orn the Old Court House to the Tsuipsranea Hall, in het- sad as daliglttto rseerdit—-tboaraaofthoforrncrplaos wcald have scareel raovo than sullced Air the h

\Ve want greater industry;-that is the great condition of

in every

room for the accommodation of the spectators, who were both numerous and respectable, and who, without an exception, we believe, were as astonished as grati-I fied by the superior qualit of the articles by which they were surrounded. Shawls of a delicacy of color and fineness of texture, which we were not prepared to ex- pect, iulerinin led with others of less delicate but more serviceable f ric, were hung round the sides and end of the Hull, and gave roof of an increase of taste, as well as of skill in the different departments of carding, spinning, dyeing, weaving, falling and,dressirig of cloths. The some improvement was visible in the spe- cimeiis of shepherd’: plaid, drugget and other honie- spuns. We have seen for finer linen fabrics of Island manufacture than those exhibited, though these were of that useful and substantial kind which are, perhaps, best suited to the present state of society. Flax can, as we all know, he raised its well in this Island as any where, and we ourselves recollect when the qiinntity grown, especially among the Acadiun part ofthe popula- tion, was far greater than it is now. There secins,how- ever, a disposition, both in Europe and the northern arts of America, since the discovery of the now and improved method of dressing it, to cultivate the flex plant more extensively, and should it increase, it may be converted to a source ofgreat profit to our farmers. The population of Prince Ldwnrd Island is not sulfi- ciently dense, and the forests too much so, for us to in- dulge in dreams of creating wealth or riches by the up- propriation of industry and capital to manufactures on an extensive scale. But the encouragement of those articles of domestic use, the fabricating of which do not interfere with the operations of the fnrin, but which eervc to employ it portion of that time, which, especially in the winter season might be less profitably employed, ought never to be lost sight of: it gave us much pleasure therefore to see cloth of various descriptions which were a credit to the makers, form part of the display, such as those above alluded to, with carpeting, rugs, countcrpanes, hosiery, &c., &c. A new manufacture which we trust will meet with due encourage-inent and adequate remuneration has, within the last few years, sprung into existence, we allude to the making of grass plait or imitation Tuscan hats and bonncts. This is pe- culiarly one of those employments wliiclt may be termed save-alls where labour constitutes the whole value of the article when finished; where there is no outlay of capital for the purchase of the raw material, and no very expensive tools or machinery necessiiry to be pro- cured. We would counsel our fair friends, however, not to expend much of their time and ingenuity in the fabrication of the finer sorts of pliiit, except, indeed, for the purpose of showing their own pretty faces to advan- tage, but rather to aim at it description of article, which by its general utility combined with its greater cheap- ness, may put them upon more equal grounds with the importations from abroad. The specimens in this

species of industry though few, were of it superior de- scription. Some large sheepskins with wool of good staple, tanned with the fleece on them, as well as mink, , calf and other skins well deserved the attention and j applause ivcn to them. In it country where the cutting I down oft e trees of the forest must be for it while the principal occupation of many of the old as well as of all the new settlers, the having at hand it good supply of axes fit for the purpose, is a matter of no small moment; and we, in common with many others, were both surprised and pleased with those exhibited by Mr. Weather-be; they are in every respect a well made and highly finished article, will bear the, strictest scrutiny and may be compared with those imported from the United States without any fear of losing by the comparison. It was to the other side of the Hull, how- ever, that our more frequent glance was turned. Here the prophecies of it quarter of a century were at last in the progress of fulfilment. For the first time we could say to the hitherto incredulous, come here and let the evidence of your own senses convince you. Look at those carrots, tumipe, porsnips, and tell me if you can with truth say you ever saw superior either in Canada, Nova Scotia or New Brunswick. Please to take that specimen of mangle wurtzel in your hand, weight it, and admire the cleanncse of its skin and the uniformity of size it presents from the leaves downwards. we doubt whether Belgium could produce a finer. 'I‘hosc cab- bnges are as luxuriant and ballet headed as those people last fall were paying a chilling a piece for or something near it, out of some Yankee schooner. There were some good Apples exhibited, but not in such plenty or variety as we could wish. We are in hopes of having an Horticultural and Floral Society, for the purpose of encouraging the more extensive cul- tivation ofthe productions of the Orchard and Garden. There were numerous specimens of Butter and Cheese, which we were glad to see, as it is full time we should depend upon ourselves for these articles. Mrs. W. Hyde, who took the prize for both, has long been famous for her dnir .- There are rivals, and no mean ones, to contend with in future, so she must look to it. And this is but, we trust, the commencement of the beginning of improvement. Now that it is clearly un- dcretood, that it but requires the exertion of industry, guided and directed by science and skill, to enable us to compete with longer established communities, there is no saying to what we may not aspire. Eveyiy year after this will, we hope, give us an Industrial x ibi- tion, and every year will, we do not in the least doubt, an ass that of its predecessor. hen we have confessed, that every thing connected with the late display of the infant manufactures and the agricultural resources of the Island, far surpassed our most sanguine expectations, it may seem invidious to point out dcfccte; but as what we are about to suggest proceeds from no spirit of cnvilling or fault finding, it will be taken, us it is meant, in ood part. In the first place, we think that all the artic cs destined for compe- tition should be sent in at least two days previous to the day of exhibition; a proper person should be in waiting to receive them, and every article numbered —a book with corresponding numbers, describing the article and the name of the competitor, being kept by the Secre- tary ; after a certain hour, on the second day, the judges should have the apartment to themselves, and when they had made their decision, return to the Sec- retur the numbers attached to those articles to which they ad adjudged the premiums : th' would effectually prevent any suspicion of favor, wliic the knowledge of the parties contributing might be supposed to foster. In the next lace, when the premiums had been ad- judged, and fore the spectators were admitted, the prise articles should be placed in aortic cons icuous place easy of access, and arranged with as nine artis- tic skill as their nature would afibrd, and the name of the succaaslbl competitor in bold characters attached. Lastly, if it were possible. we should like to see some regulations which should alford every one a fair tunity ofgzati ing his curiosit or exercisin bis ridg- Isnt,wi at svngtcfoi-‘cc iswayt acrowrl ‘bid direction, this flit be
