Moil Arrangements.

“ The unsatisfactory manner In which mail communication has been carried between the Island and the mainiand, has called forth the | displeasure of the people of this section of the Provinee at avy rate. Not only mails beea more irregularly conveyed by the | Northern Lijht up to the present they have duriag the past four or five winters, but the people of the Islaud have been most | shamefuily treated by :

Posta! affairs at Charlottetown regarding the may in whic!: mail matter for these parts has been forwarded. An instance in point. The St. Joha Su», of the 30th ullt., Was received in Charlottetown on Wednesday, the 3ist nit. Yet the subscribers of that pape! here, did net receive theirs of the same date ut trl Friday morning, the 2od January. Had tue Northern Light made a trip curing the oe that elapse betwoen the two dates, we would attribute the delay to her bringing only part of the mails for the Island on her trip of the Zist, and possibly the Suns for this place did not come with those of Charlottetown. 4 his, however, is not the case; and the cilicials of the Charlottetowu Post Office are alone res ponsible for the delay evidently caused by palpable neglect. And, further, we do ant f uaving received, this winter, all of a foreign :aail for this place, at ons time

who do not consult the public interest, and that the Ottawa authorities should enquire into the inatter, we are authorised to state that the officials having the direction of these affairs here, invite the fullest enquiry into, and challenge fair criticism of, their mail management.

“Tt is a curious fact,” says London Life, ‘*that three female soversigns are ill at the same time—the E:mpress of Russia, the Queen of Italy and the Queen of Sweden. Some fatality has attached itself to the number three during the year 1879. Serious attempts have been made upon the lives of three of the crowned heads of urope—the Emperors of Russia and Ger- many and the King of Italy. Three foreign potentaies have been dispossessed— the Ameer of Cabul, the Khedive of Egypt and the King of Zululand. Three famous actors have died—Yalconar, Blackstone and Mathews; and the feurth estate is not without its fatal adhesion to the unlucky numeral, Three editors er proprietors of our foremost newspapers have bade ‘a long farewell to all their greatness’—Lawaon, Delane and Sergeant Cox.”
