This is no time for the exhibition of petty differences or party spite.

A hearty judicious measures is what is expected of co-operation in the new Council. —— in & . Anoturr Exoiisu Srzames.— On Satur- day evening last the S. &. Neptuno, Capt.

She will load pota- toes here for the English market, having been chartered for that purpose by T. Hojman, Esy., of thistown. We learn that the .Vepiuno ia a very fast sailer, hav- ing wade the passage from London to Hali. fax in eleven days. Tho Neptuno and the Lady Bertha give to the Railway Wharf quite a lively appearance, and we of Prince County claim to be the pioneers of a busi- neas with England, which is destined to increase. The gentlemen who have engaged in this business deserve credit, and wa hope they may succeed as their enterprise, if suc- cessiul, will be generally beneficial. ‘The The presence in this port of these two steamers is a fitting rebuke to the people who are continually harping about subsidies.

After having made proVisien— for this Dividend, the statement of Liabilities and Assets shows an excess of assets over liabil- ities of $1,456 77, being slightly over 51 per cent. of the paid up Capital Stock, thus making the face vatuo of each share $37.80. To this add £0 per cent. dividends paid or provided fer, and you have a total of 81 per cent. asthe result of the operations of five years, or equal to 16 1-0 per cent. per year, which your directors canuot but regard asa very creditable exhibit, and one that cannot fail to be satisfactory to the Stockholders.
