It contains 434 acres ofthe best descrip- tion ofLand in this Island, having abundance of Fire- wood, pine, spruce and fuicing poles. Fifty acres are under cultivation, and in the best condition, and Twenty additional acres are enclosed of natural pasture, which could be easily cleared for the plough, the growth of wood being only young bushes. There is a large Garden and Orchard, planted with apple, plum and cher- ry trees, dcc. of 5 years’ standing. The whole is well fenced, and there are gates on every enclosure, as well as the court-yard. The House is very comfortable for a small family, and contains kitchen, small parlour, good bedroom, servant’s sleeping room, closets, and a cellar underneath. The House is as good as new, as are the offices, which consist ofa large Barn, a Stable, and Cow- house, Poultry-house, Dairy, and Green-houses for potao toes and turnips; an excellent Spring of Water is near the House, and the fields are watered by a brook running through them

The whole will be let together, or in one Farm, for such term ofyears and on such conditions as may be agreed on; or the property will be divided into Farms to suit the views ofofi'erérs; or, ifpreferred, the one hal’ (217 acres), including all the improvements, will be sold

HE Subscriber cautions any person or per-

sons against having any thing to do with the good

title of which J. H. Peters, Esq.. speaks in his notice of the 15th inst.

Perhaps, on inquiry, they may find a Sherifi’s Deed Without a Sheriff—u Sale witlmut an Appraisement, and one of the Executions (for there were two) an Equity of Redemption. which this extraordinary sale was intended to satisfy, of which there is no ljudgment on record; and the amount of sale was probab y sufficient to liqui- datea dozen Executions, which appears to be a maul fest contravention of the Act.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAN D.

HE Cunard Atlantic Steamers having com- menced plying between Liverpool, England, and Halifax, Nova Scotia, a new era is formed in the History of the North American Colonies. This expe~ ditious mode of conve ance will, doubtless, brin to their shores a number o individuals in search of lieu th- ful and fertile locations; and the Advertiser, therefore, solicits such persons. having agricultural views, to visit Prince Edward Island, sojnstly styled by writers “ The Granary of British North flmerica.” It is situated in the Gulph of St. Lawrence, and is only two days‘ travel by Coach and Steamboat from Halifax, N. S. This Colony, with respect to salubrity of climate, fertility of soil,and excellent waters, is second to few, if any, in the British Dominions. The Capitalist who determines on emigrating, may here purchase wilderness lands from 15s. to 255, per acre; or improved Farms, in dif- fcrent sections ofthe Island, at from £2 to £6 per acre, according to situation, and; the value of the Buildings erected upon the property.~ The soil of this Island pro- duces nearly all kinds of grain, hay and vegetables; and cattle, as well as agricultural implements, suitable to the Colony,can be obtained at moderate prices. There are twelve Agricultural Societies, established within the last few years, actively employed iii introducing from dif- ferent countries the most improved breeds of Live Stock, Agricultural Implements, &c. Suitable for the farmer.- To the Emigrant, even though but a small capitalist, Prince Edward Island ofi'ers many advantages :—-First, its general prosperity, which is sutficiently provedby the increase of i's exports, and its steadilyiniprovyng revenue. Second,a healthy climate. Third, a plentiful

. supply ofgood waterthroughotittlie whole Island. Fourth,

the fertility of the soil. and its freedom from all taxes, burthenscnie to the Settler. Fifth, the convenience of

' Settlement, whereby the ruinous expenses which are

Sometimes incurred, by having to travel hundreds of milcs,after landing, ton place of location, are almost totally avoided. Sixth, a certain remuneration for the labours ofthe Agriculturist, by a sure market, and a lair price, for all the surplus produce of his farm. Seventh,

the labourer readily. meets with employment, .ulld re- ceives liberal wages. Eighth, to the British Emigrant it

offers the enjoyment of the benefits to be derived frpm the laws, language, customs and manners of his. native land; and he preserves in himself an identity ofinterost with that of the parent state. Ninth, Prince Edward Island is now only thirteen (llrys’ from], by Cunard's line offll/antic Steamers, from England; and, if ii Colopy affording regular opportunities of speedy intercourse With the mother country, and possessing the advantages before enumerated, be desirable, the Advertiser, who has spent twenty years in the Island, thinks he may safely venture to invite such individuals as have. resolv- cd, or shall determine to emigrate, to pay it a visit; and should they be induced to establish themselves and families here, in preference to a foreign state, they will have the satisfaction to know that their posterity will he scions of the. British Empire,

[11? Persons desirous of purchasing either Improved or Wilderness Lands, are respectfully solicited to apply (ifhy letter, post paid) to the Advertiser, at his Oflice, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
