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 American Colonies. This expe- ditious mode of conve ance will, doubtless, bring to their Shores :1 number otyindividuals 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 America." It is situated in the Gulpli of St. Lawrence, and is Only two days travel b Coach and Steamboat from Halifax, N. S. This Lolony,'with respect to salubrity of climate, fertility of soil, and excellent waters, is second to few, if any, in the British Dominions. The capitalist who determines on emigrating, may licrc purchase \vildcr'ncss glands from 15s. to 25s, per acre; or improved Farms, in dif- ferent sections ofthe Island, at from £2 to £6 per, acre, according to situation, and the value of the Buildings erected upon the property. The soil of this Island pro- duces nearly all kinds ofgrain, hay and vegetables; and cattle, as well as agricultural implements, suitable to the Colony,can be obtained at moderate prices. There are 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 but a small capitalist, Prince Edward Island offers many advantages :—First, its general prosperity, which is sufficiently pi'oved_by the increase of its exports, and its steadilyimprovmg revenue. Second, a healthy climate. Third, aplcntiful- supply ofgood waterthroughout the whole Island. Fourth the fertility of the soil, and its freedom from all’taxes‘: burthensome to the Seltler. Fifth, the convenience of settlement, whereby the ruinous expenses which are sometimes incurred, by having to travel hundreds of miles,after landing, toa place of location, are almost totally avoided. Sixth, a certain remuneration for the labours ofthe Agriculturist, by asure market, and a fair price, for all the surplus produce of his farm. Seventh, the labourer readily meets with em loyment, and re- ceives liberal wages. Eighth, to the ritish Emigrant it ofi'ers 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 ofiutercst with that of the parent state. Ninth, Prince Edward Island is now only thirteen days’ travel, by Cunard’s line ofAtlantic Steamers, from England; and, if a Colon affording regular opportunities ofspeedy intercourse Wit the mother country, and ossessing 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 lb 11 foreign state, they will have the satisfaction to know that their posterity will be scions of the British Empire. _

le’Persons desirous of purchasing either Improved 'or Wilderness Lands,'aré respectfully solicited'to‘ap ly; (ifby letter, post paid) to the Advertiser, at his 0 cc, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
