We pay a large sum of money for the carrying of vur mails, and we ought to haye them carried without delay snd disappointment to the public. It appears to us that this can never be the case, until Charlottetown be made the head quarters of the mail packet. Any steamer can be repaired here quite as well as at Richibuetou, perhaps more speedily ; and if not here, certainly at Pictou, where there is a good Foundry, where we have to send for the Mails, and which is the nearest post town tous. The trade with Richibuctou is of no account,— the Mails between this Island, New Brunswick, Canada and the United States, cam be very well carried by the sailing packet which plies between Bedeque and Shediac. All we want is # steamer to ran between Charlottetown and Pictou.
