REDUCED RAILWAY RATES.
Dear Sir,—Io voar issue of the l4th., I note that the Uharlotretowo Board of Trade has very properly taken up the question of the excessive rates charged un the P. E.I. Railway, aod sets fori as a reason why lower passenger rates ebou de | prevail thatthe distaace to be traveiled between the different pointe is so much in excess of the custof travel by horse ana carriuge that our people prefer the lauer as a matter of ecooomy. The resolution paseed by the Board of Trade also sets forth that a reduction of fares would pro- bably tend not only to proportionately greater advantage on the part of the pub lic but to better financial results on the part of, ure railway.
Wi endorsing the facts as set forth by the resolution of the Board of Trade,
I take the liberiy of stating whatI think are much stronger reasons why lower rates should * prevail on the P.K, oe

A VERY PLEASANT SAIL.
From Charlottetown to Halifax, by SS, City of Ghent.
The following is a description of the voyage from Charlottetown to Halifex by the Cuy of Gheot, written by one who bad the pleasure of being &@ pastenger on her lust trip:
“We left Charlottetown about 11 o'clock a.m. on Friday, July 8th, The first plage we were to call at wa: Suimmerside, aud a very pleasant eail we bed up to our west- ern metropolis. There was quite a breeze blowing, and most of the passengers were a little seasick. We arrived at five o’cluck and stayed there uutil nearly twelve. There was a large amount of treight to be taken ov board, and thistook the men severai hours lJenger than ueual. The next place to call at was Port Hasting», at the entrance of the Strait of Canso. The sail from Summerside to Hasting’s, which took from twelve o’clock on Friday night until half-paest three on Saturday after- noon, wae really delightful, the waters of Northumberland Strait being beaatifu'l, calm. When we got upon Saturday moroing we were jist opposite Pictou Island. About dinver time we passed the large promontory, Cape George. The coast along here is very bold and rocky, Cape George being much more dangerous looking than anything we had seen on the Island. Something that seemed to us very curious was that thetrees and grass grow right down the banke of the water edge. The Strait of Canso is called by the sailors and perhaps many others, “the hole in the wall,” avd such indeed it is. It is icapossible to oue who has never seen it before to tell where the entrance is until you come nearly up tort. <A short distance from the entrauce to the strait is Cape Porcupine, covered with a thick growth of trees. It was the highest point which we saw mear to,and at jts base the cables crossthe straic. We ovly stopped at Port Hastings fur about 5 minutes to unload a few bags, etc, and then eatled on 10 Hawkesbury a snort distance sway, where we staved for about an hour. Right across the strait from Hawkesbury is Port Mulgrave the Novs Scotian terminus ef the Intercolonial Railway, and across a small river from Hawkesbury is Point Tupper, where the railway through Cape Breton commences. The passengers are tak~ en across from Malgrave to Point Tupper im tug~boats and the freight cars are towed acro-s in a large scow, made expressly for the purpose. After ljeaving Hawkesbury
