our {32:1er:}: to pull the attention of our readers to an article on pa,.e,prepared by the Board otTrade of Montre l

on the preparation of Provisions for the British mark t f1 . the original copy of which we are indebted to the Cl 9 ’ lm: of Commerce at Halifax, N. S. This is a very v'ili'liiiiffi; document, and should be fbund in the hands ofever furii in the Colony who has the prosperity of the Island it 11881:: and who really desires to ameliorate his condition and td promote his personal and pecuniary interests. The, Tariff lately passed by the Imperial Parliament has opened up a new branch of Trade between the Mother Countr ' and her traus-atlantic Colonies, which We hope Will ere )lon be largely participated in by Prince Edward lslniid. g,

It is who lameiited, that in a country possessed of such great agricultural capabilities as this Islaiid is acknowlcdned on all hands to be favoured with by a bountiful Pi'ovitleifce many persons should have so long neglected their triaiii interests—arising from the cultivation of the soil—for the prosecution of'a business at all times precarious, and of late years extremely disastrous to almost every one who has en- gaged in it—we mean the shipbuilding and lumbering busi- ness. We have reason, however, to believe, that our popula- tion are rapidly improving in the science of Agriculture; party politics engage much less of the public attention than formerly; large tracts of fertile land are annually reclaimed from the forest; new and flourishing settlements are spring- ing up in all directions; and we rejoice in the prospect now afforded of a new and profitable outlet for our surplus pro- duce. It must, however, be borne in mind, that if we would enjoy a share ofthe benefits likely to accrue to the Colonies from the operation of the new Tariff, above alluded to, great care must be bestowed on the culture and preparation ofthe articles intended for export, to the English market especi- ally; but we’can see no solid reason why, with proper atten- tion to these important objects, we may not make a profitable business ofit as well as our neighbours.

\Ve intend printing the document above referred to, on a se-

parate sheet, .which we shall be happy to dispose of to Agri-. cultural Societies, and to persons interested in the sub-

required, shall be supplied at a very low price.

The report ofthe loss oftwo vessels from thislsland, com- manded by two brothers ofthe name of Leblanc, near the Gut ofCanso, as stated in our last, turns out to be in some measure incorrect. It would appear that several vessels, each commanded by a master oftlie name of Leblanc, left this Island about the same time, two bound for Halifax, and somefor Newfoundland and other ports—the two former have arrived at their destination—one oftliose bound for Newfoundland, the Trish-it will be seen, on reference to our shipping list, was unfiirtiinately lost, with all the crew.
