PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.

THE Cunard Atlantic Steamers having com- , menced plying betWeen Liverpool,England, and Halifax, Nova Scotia, 3. new era.is formed in the History of the North American Colonies. This expe- ditious mode of conve ance will, doubtless, brin to their shores a number 0 individuals in search of hen th- ful’a'nd fertile locations; and the Advertiser, therefore, soricits 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 Gulph of St. Lawrence, and is only two da 5’ travel

by Coach and Steamboat from Halifax, N. This

' colony, with respect to salubrity of climate, fertility. _of . scil,und excellent waters, is second to few, if any in

The on italist who determines

from 15s. to 25s, per acre; or improved Farms, in dif- ferent sections of the Island, at from £2 to £6 er acre, according to situation, and the value of the uildings erected upon the property. The soil of this Island pro- duces nearly all kinds ofgrain, hay and vegetables; and cattle, as Well as agricultural im lements, suitable to the Colony,can be obtained at me erate prices. There are twelve Agricultural Societies, established. within the last few years, actively employed in introducing from dif- ferent countries the most improved breeds ofLive Stock, Agficultural Implements, &c. suitable for the farmer.

O the Emigrant, even though but a small capitalist, Prince Edward Island offers many advantages :—-First, its general prosperity, which is sufliciently provedby the increase of its exports, and its steadil improvtn revenue. Second,abealthy climate. Thir ,aplentifu

. supply ofgood waterthroughoutthe whole Island. Fourth,

the fertility of the soil, and its freedom from all taxes, burthensonie to the Settler. Fiflh,.the convenience of settlement, whereby the ruinous expenses which are sometimes incurred, by having to travel hundreds of miles,af‘ter landing, toa place of location, are almost totally avoided. Sixth, a certain remuneration for the

_ labours ofthe Agriculturist, by a sure 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 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'ofinterost

' with that of the parent state. Ninth, Prince Edward

Island is now only thirteen days’ travel, by Cunard? line of fltlantic Steamers, from England; and, if a Colopy affording regular opportunities ofspeedy intercourse Wit I the mother country, and possessing the advantages before enumerated, be desirable, the Advertiser, who has spent twent years in the Island, thinkg bflmay safely venture to invite such individuals as have resolv- ed, or shall determine to emigrate, to ay itavlélt rand should they be induced to establiin themselves and families here, in preference to a foreign state, they will have the satisfaction to know that their posterityyiiill be scion: of the British Empire.
