It contains 434 acres ofthe best descrip- tion of Land in this Island, having abundance of Fire- wood, pine, spruce aud fencing poles. Fifty acres are under cultivation, and in the best condition, and 'l‘went additional acres are enclosed of natura‘lgrasturepwhic 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- r trees, &c. of 5years’ standing. The whole is well filmed, and there are gates on every enclosure, as well as the court-yard.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.

THE 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 Afiféffcan Colonies. This expe- ditious mode of conveyance will, doubtless, bring to their shores a number of individuals in search of health- ful and fertile locations; and the Advertiser, therefore, solicits such persons. having agricultural views, to visit Prince Edward Island, so justly styled by writers “ The Granary of British North flmcrica." It is situated in the Gulpfrof St. Lawrence, and is only two days' travel by Coach and Steamboat from Halifax, N. S. This Colony, with respect to salubrity of climate, fertilityud' soil,and excellent waters, is second to few, if any,-rkl the British Dominions. The capitalist who determines on emigrating, may here purchase wilderness lands from 15s. to 25s, per acre; or improved Farms, in dif- ferent sections of the Island, at from £2 to £6 per acre,

d. 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 V Colony, can be obtained at moderate prices: There are . twalve Agricultural Societies, established Within the last

few years, actively employed in introducing from dif-

. ferent countries the most improved breeds of Live Stock,

Aglr‘icultural Implements, &c. suitable for the farmer. o the Emigrant, even though but a small capitalist, Prince Edward Island offers many advantages :--—First, its general prosperity, which is sufficiently provedby the increase of its exports, and its steadil improving revenue. Second,a healthy climate. Tliir ,aplentiful supply ofgood water throughout the whole Island. Rmrth, the fertility of the soil. and its freedom from all taxes, burthensome to the Settler. Fifth, the convenience of settlement, whereby the ruinous expenses which are sometimes incurred, by having to travel hundreds of miles,after landing, to a place of location, are almost totally avoided. Sixth, a certain remuneration for the labours ofthe Agriculturist, by a sure market, and a fair price, for all the surplus produce of his farm. Seventh, the labourer readily meets with em loyment, and re- Eiglitli, to the ritisli Emigrant it _ offers the enjoyment Of the benefits to be derived from the laws, language, customs and manners of his nativ'd v land; and he preserves in himself an identity ofints'rcst with that of the parent state. ~Ninth, Prince Edward; Island is now only thirteen days’ travel, by, Cunard’s lino offltlantic Steamers, from England; and, if a Colopx affording regular opportunities of speedy intercourse Wit 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- ed, 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 be scions of the British Empire. ,
