The Mails.

The mails for Summerside and the West- ward have not once this winter been delay- ed in the Charlottetown oflice. The Sum- merside Journal, and all others, to the con-

trary, notwithstanding. We make this

staternent on the best authority.

With regard to internal postal arrange: ments, they are as nearly perfect as they ean be. But we doubt if they are so with gespect to the foreign mails. © The Northern Light is doing well ; but the mails do not come as often or as regularly as they would if perfect satisfaction were given. We want daily mails from the mainland during

fine weather.

ee ee ae “Oficial” Languages in Egypt.

A British merchant writes as follows from Alexandria to the Times: **T had oc- casion to protest a bill of exchange recent-

ly for non-acceptance, and presented it t the proper department of the International Tribunals. The

officials declined however, to receive it till they were furnished with a translation of it in either Arabic, French, er Italian, this necessary in consequence of the bill being in English, a language not officially recog- nized in the Courts. In view of the ap- proaching expiry of the ,term for which the International Tribunals were establish- ed, and the opportunity the Great Powers will then have of revisirg the judicial trea- ties, it may not be amiss to draw attention to the extraordinary anomaly that the language of the country doing the largest trade with Egypt is thus officially tabooed. The importance of the trade between Great Britain and Egypt, and its relative position tothe trade between other countries and Egypt, may be judged from the following figures, which are taken from the official statistics published by the Government. The aggregate imports and exports for the five years 1874, 1875,1876 1877 and 1878, are are as fellows : Great Britain, £59,058,- 000 ; France, £11,644,000 ; Italy, £3,680,- 000.

The Railroad Interest.

179 roaps, WITH & MILRAGB OF 16,500 AND A CAPITAL INVESTMENT OF $972,000,000 AUCTIONRD IN FOUR YEARS,

New York, Janu. 9.—The Railway Age publishes an interesting article on Railway foreclosure sales during 1879. It gives a list of 65 roads sold, with a mileage ef 4,900 miles, representing $163,000,000 bonds and debts, $89,000,000 of capital stock, being $242 000,000 of capital investment affected. In 1878 there were 48 roads sold ; in 1877, 54; and in 1876, 30; the total in the last four years was 179 roads, with a mileage of 16,000 and a capital investment of $972,- 000,000, which has been brought to the auction block. This is about the fifth of the entire railway mileage and capital of the United States. Very few fereclosure suits have beew begun during the year, showing that the era of bankruptcy is nearly ended.

CaTTrLe AND SHEEP FOR THE British Mar- cer —On Saturday afternoon a train load of sheep and cattle arrived at this station from the North, on the way to Halifax, where they will be shipped by steamer for Liverpool. The shipment comprised 106 head of cattle and over 900 sheep, the cattle being the pro- perty of Messrs, Thompson and Flanagan, the sheep belonging to Messrs. R. Connolly and G. McGregor, hailing from different points in Ontario. ‘The whole shipment was _ transfer- red to the I. C. R. cattle sheds, here to be fed and watered. The cattle were forwarded from this station last evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock, but the sheep will not leave until to- niglit or to-morrow, awaiting a report of the movements of the steamer ‘‘ Dominion,” of the Dominion Line, on which the shipment will be made from Halifax. The parties who are conducting the above} shipment, as pre vious shippers have done, speak in the highest terms of the accommodation afforded by the Intercolonial, and especiaily the facilities for ahaltatthe station. The building at this station which is used as acattle shed, is cap able of holding 400 head of cattle, and the fa- cilities for watering and feeding cannot be sur- passed.—- Moncton Timea,

‘Tne Hon Minister of Railways and Canals has lately been presented with a very interest- ing momento of the early days of railways, in the shape of a handsome photograph of the first engine put on a public railway, to-

ether with other interesting matters to the inception of ;railway enterprise. Mr. White- head Pacific Railway contractor, acted as fire- man on the engine.

CHE Ottawa Citizen says the idea is suggest- ed of forming an association of shareholders in Canadian banks and other joint stock com- panies for mutual protection and suppert, the alliances to be offensive and defensive among themselves for protecting their interests against the attacks of persons pretending to financial knowledge from without, and their property from the consequences of recklessness and neglect of those intrusted with its man- agement frony within. The shareholders of Canadian banks number nearly 20,000, a body which, with proper organization, could not fal to wield immense prestige.

Tue yoar 1879 was a very disastrous one in respect to losses by ‘ire, and the statement by the ‘* Insurance Chronicle” that in the United States the losses were heavier than in any previous year of which record is given will cause much surprise. The aggregate for the year—partially estimating the month of De- cember--—was, for the United States, $78,898, - 700, and for Canada, $7,321,200. The latter sum has been exceeded in three successive years, 1875, 1876, and 1877. Itis estimated that on both sides of the line $40,000,000 was paid in insurance, an amount, it is claimed, exceeding the receipts of the companies.

The British Empire continues to grew in spite of the theorists.

The adjoining te:ritor- ies are expected shortly to come nnder Hritish control in the same manner. It is understood the action of the Government is partly due to the fact that United States traders on the coast have made an aggreement wit the King of Agbozomes to lease a portion »f his territory, and landed cargoes of spirits, which are brought into English territory without paying duty.

It was again taken from France by Fmgland in 1794, evacuated in 1795 aid re- captured in the following year.
