Communication with Nova Scotia.

Witt Sc. John is pressing for improved communications with the sister Province of Nova Scotia, we are glad to note that there are persons in this community alive to the expediency of having a daily steamer be- tween Charlottetown Now | that the steamers of the Steam Navigation |

and Pictou.

Company are not required to go to Cape Breton, there ought to be no great difficulty about it. “The boats might as well as not he empleyed all the time ; and if the trafic will not warrant the comparatively small ad- ditional expense, the Government should, we think come to the rescue for a year or two, or until such time asthe inpreved the revenue required to meet the additional ex-

communication ‘** draws ” additional

pense. The /ferald’s correspondent puts the inconvenience of the present arrange-

meut truly and forcibly. He says :—

To the Editor of ithe Herald,

Sir,—The present is, in several respects, a suitable time to call attention to the great need of improved communication between Charlottetown and Halifax. The beats of the P. E. Island Steam Navigation Com- pany do not this year run to Cape Breton. It was hoped that when this change was made there would be daily communication with Picteu, but so far, the boats run only as heretofore.

‘To give an example ef the incenvenience of the present arrangements, I had, a short

day atternoon, to which | wished to give persenal attention. But to do so [I must leave Charlottetown on Monday morning, for there is no boat across on Tuesday, and ‘leaving on Wednesday morning, I should not have reached Halifax until late in the evening. Then, when my business was ever on Wednesday. [ must have remained al! Thursday in Halifax, there being no re- turn boat on that day, and should have got back on Friday evening. Had my business been in Bosten on the same day day, | conid have come and gone in just the same time. come and gone te New York and have seme hours there on Wednesday.

There is a slight improvement this year. The buats do not leave as early as they did when-they went on to Cape Breton, and consequently the delay at Pictou is seme- what lessened, though there is still ade tention of about three hours there. But the communication is now, and has foi a long time past been, imperfect and very inconvenient. The natural jesult has fol- lowed. Ican quite remember when HNali- fax was the place to which the travel and business from here naturally turned, and when for one who went. to St. John, ten went to Halifax; Ido not think it would be toe much to say that for one whe now goes to Hilifax, a hundred go to St. John. Yet Halifax is the nearer of the two, and certainly our exports have during these few years been more and more to England, and promise to go still more in that direc- tion, so that had it not been for artificial hindrances our intercourse must have in- creased.”

The Herald's correspondent, we fear, rather overstates the traftic between the Island and St. John: but there is a great deal of truth in what he says. The letter is a timely one ; and we hope it will result in a ‘‘ daily steamer’ between Charlotte- town and Pictou.

Roe-union of French Canadians.

A ‘‘re-union” of i’rench Canadians will take place at Quebec on the 24th inst. The demonstratian is to come off under the aus- pices of the Society of St. John the Bap- tist, a society founded at Montreal in 1734

by the French Canadians, for the purpose (says the society's constituion) ef ‘* pro- moting by every legitimate means the national, scientific, industrial, and social in- terests of the country in general, and of engaging in co-eperation for the mutual im- provement and advancement in particular of the children of our fatherland.”

St. John the Baptist is to the Freneh- Canadians what St. Andrew is to Scotchmen or St. Patrick to Irishmen. Last year the society conceived the idea of giving to their annual celebration a national character. Accordingly a committee was formed, and preparation and invitations have since been extended for a grand reunion of represent- atives of all the scattered sons of France, ‘from the recks of Newfoundland to the plains of Louisiana.

The programme of process'ons, banquets and speeches will extend through three days, and the Committee anticipate that 6009 visitors will take part in the celebra- tion.

The delegates from this Island include Hon. Jos. O. Arsenault, Hon. S. F. Perry ;and Rey. Mr. Chaisson, and others.

Cattle Plague in Manitoba.

St. John.

Since the great fire two years ago, St. John has built 3,354 edifices— including 1,529 dwellings, 718 shops, and 1,107 other buildings, at a total cost ef about $7,C00,- 609. Only $1,600,000 of this amount ts borrowed money. The energy displayed by the people of St. Joln in repairing what was thought to be an irreparable loss, is as worthy of remark as it is of the highest commendation. a

The International Boat Race.

Descriptions ef the great boat race at Providence tend to show that the signal victory of the St. John oarsman was a bona fide one. The struggle in the first two miles of the race is described as the finest on record ; and Hanlan seems not to have been seized with pain until Ress had eb- tained a leading position. Those mest in- timate with Hanian have no deubt that the champion rowed to win if he could. It is helieved that but for a squall which struck the beats just after the turn was made, the race would have been the fastest ongecord.

Letter from the Collectof of C toms in Reply to ‘Fair Dealer.”

T'o the Editor of the Lxaminer. = Sir,—My attention was directed to a letter in your issue of the 17th inst., aigned ‘‘Fair Dealer.” I have but very lately been appointed Collector of Customs at

tered on the duties of my office, when ‘‘Wair Dealer’ makes his attack. I may here remark that my determination is that those functions will be discharged impartially, without fear, favor or atfection,—irrespec- There is Guite sufiiéient in the way of duiy io occupy the mind ef the Collector, as well as that of his fellow officials, withont replying to every or any anonymeus scribblers who fancies he has a grievance to ventilate.

‘*Fair Dealer” has made six grand charges against “‘some ports in this Province,” which in justice to myself and the oflicers connected with the Customs I will net allow to vo unchallenged, provided he publishes his real name and the ‘Ports in this Province” where the ** Egg Case Frand” he alludes to is being carried on, and ans- wers the six followmg questions based on the subject matter of his letter :—

Name the pariy er parties whe entered No. 1, 30 dozen cases at an invoice value of 70 cents each, and the party er parties whe enter the same class of goods at a bogus valuation of their own ?

Name the parties who are appraisers ef their own goods !

Name the parties who, after getting their cases through the Custom House, stamped —as the law provides—either sell them er send them back and forth between the De- minion of Canada and other foreign coun- tries to evade the duties ?

Name the partieswhe have used egg eases for smuggling liquors, tea, tobacco, sugar, &c., into the Dominion, and what part of it ?

Name the ‘‘ unprincipled and interested parties’ who are allowed to become ap- praisers of their own goods, and enter then: at half value ?

Whe is that Custems official, who has become a teol in the hands of an importun- ate or any other individual !

In conclusion, permit me to remark, sir, that your correspondent, if he desires any heed to be given his letter, will first pub- lish his name, the particular ports he re- fers to, and answer fully the six questions propounded above and founded on his own letter.

Yours respectfuily, Jas. Curriz, Collector

A Question of History.

To the Editor of the Hxraminer. Sirn,—io commen, Lam sure, with many of your readers, | have perused with a great

‘deal of pleasure several communications of

your genial correspondent, *‘ Vich Dhom- nuil Nan Ord,” which have been, with very few exceptions, such as would tend to eur edification.

One of the exceptions is contained in his letter in your issue of the 18th inst., in which he acknowledges a photegraph of the tomb of ‘‘ James the Third, King of Great Britain, Ireland and France.” In historical matters it is better, in all cases, to be accurate, and it may well be consider- ed a matter of surprise that one so well in- formed as your correspondent, was not aware that James the Secoud was the last ef the Jameses, and that English history knows no such Monarch as James the Third, Kiag of Great Britain, lreland and France.

Yours truly, ISLANDER,
