PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND}, ’7'.

THE Cunard Atlantic Steamers havin'gicdm-

menced plying between Liverpool, England,"nnd Halifax, Nova Scotia, a new era is formed in :the History of the North American Colonies. This expe- ditious mode of conveyance will, doubtless, bring to their shores a number of individuals in search of health- fill and fertile locations; aiid the Advertiser, there ore, Solicits such poisons, having agricultural’views,'to visit Prince Edward Island. so justly slylcd by writers ‘.‘ The Grunnry of British North America." It is situated in the Guiph of St. Lawrence, and is only two days' travel by Coach and .Sicamboat from l-lglil'ax, N. S. This Colony, with respect in salubrity of climate, fertility of snil,and cxrellontwaters, is second to few, if any. in the British Dnmininns. The capitalist u ho delcrmines (In emigrating, may here purchase wildernch lands from 15s. [0255, per acre; or improved Farms, In dif- fcrent sections ofilie Island, at from £2 to £6, per’ acre, awarding to situation, and the value of the Buildings erected upon the property. The soil of this Island pro. duces nearly all kinds ul'grain, hay and vegetah‘les; and cattle, as well as agricultural implements, suitable to the Colony,can be obtained at moderate prices. Therean twelve Agricultural Societies, established within the last few years, actively employed in introducing from dif- ferent countries the most improved breeds of Live Stock, Agricultural Implements, &c. suitable for the farmer;

To the Emigrant, even though btit a small capitalist, Prince Edward Island ofi‘ers many advantages :—First, its general prosperity, which is sulficiently proved by the increase of in; exports, and its steadilyimproving revenue. Second,a healthy climate. Third, a plentiful supply ofgood watertlirouglioutthe whole lsland. Fourth, 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 niili-s.afivr landing. to a place (if localiun, are almost totally avoided. Sixth, a certain remuneration forihe labours ofthe Agricultiirist, by It sure market, and a fair price, for all the surplus produce of his farm. Seventh, the labourer readily meets with employment, and re- ceives liberal wages. Eighth, to the British Emigrant it offers the enjoyment of the benefits to be derived from the laws, language, customs and manners of his native land; and he preserves in himself an identity ofimercst with that of the parent state. Ninth, Prince Edward Island is now only thirtccn days' lrrmcl, by Cunard's line offltlnntic Steamers, from England; and, if a Colony afibrding regular opportunities ofspcedy intercourse with the mother country, and possessing the advantages before enumerated, be desirable, the. Advertiser,who has spent twenty years in the Islund,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 “ill be scions of the British Empire.
