convenient for dispatch of business ; for, in the first place, the Post mostly arrives at White Sands late in the evening, when the mail bag is delivered, and the return bag is at once sealed and delivered and goes away. No person bas a chance of answering any thing until the following week, however urgent the business. In the’ next place, the Post Office being at White Sands—three miles from the business part of the set- tlement—people engaged in mercantile affairs seldom get their letters until the next day, when the return mail is far on its way back to Charlottetown.
