KINGSTON, J my 8,—On Thursday afternoon, His Excel- lency the Governor General, attended by a select party, was tld‘ pleased to witness at Point Frederick, an interesting expe- " riment, to show how, wood can be prepared so as to resrst ' the action ‘offire ; and also, how fire. can be readily extin- guished~hoth most important matters in this “ wooden country.” The parties who exhibited this were Messrs. Montgomery, John Young and Thomas M‘Counell. Four models of houses were placed on the ground, two of these were of wood which had been washed 'over with g , that steeped in) a particular solution; the other two were unprepared to resist fire. Split cedar was piled up in ti'ont " (ofthe two prepared models, and set fire to, one model re- sisted the action of the fire for half an hour, even after the unprepared doors and shutters had ignited—thus giving suflicicnt time to have saved lives, to have got assistance, or to remove furniture, and proving that no mere spark from a distance can set wooden buildings or shingle roofs on fire protected by this solution. The smaller model, with close glass Windows, did not ignite at all, though the fire raged on the outside ofit lialfan hour. ‘ One of the unprepared models Sand which was coated on "117. the inside with tar.) was then filed with split cedar and (1&9: shavings, which were set fire to; the model burned very M q“ fiercely, when small quantities of the solution, squirted M, on it, extinguished the flames, except in one corner, which “4 q was left purposely to repeat the experiment three times. Md“ His Excellency paid most particular attention to the whole W of the operations, was minute in his enquiries, evinced the Mr greatest interest in the success of the experiment, and judi- lah. ciously suggested that on an early day the difference be- be aween the solution and water, as to to their relative capabi- B glities for extinguishing fire, should be tested. be We understand that the solution could be supplied at the lizithe rate 01.45. 6d. or 5s. a gallon, and it is calculated that Mm, two or three gallons would extinguish an ordinary sized ll 15 room, ifin a blaze.

Thirdly.—'1‘hat the terms proposed by Mr. George R. Young, or terms equivalent to those, seem to have been acceded to by the great majority of the Proprietors. Folnrthly.—-That under these circumstances the best course which Her Majesty can recommend is. that the Assembly and Council should turn their attention to the improvement of the resources, and the‘encouragement of the growing wealth of Prince Edward Island, and leave to the gradual. operation of time the settlement of a question which offers no sound footing for direct Legislation. Lastly—I have to state that Her Majesty is not disposed to blame any party for the mode in which this discussion has been prosecuted; but Her Majesty’s anxiety for the welfare of the Pro‘ vincc makes Her desirous to see the termination ofa fruitless and irritating contest.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. ‘” I .7 HE Cunard Atlantic Steamers having commenbe’ir plying between Liverpool, England.and Halifax, Nova Scotiu, a new era is formed in the History of the North American Coionies. This expeditious mode ofconvo aiice will, doubtless, bring to their shares a number of individual s in search oflieullh-ful and fertile locations; and the Advertiser, tlierefdie, solicits such persons, having agricultural views, to visit Prince British JVorl/lflmerica.” It is situated in the Gulpli of St. Law- rence, and is onlytwo days’ travel by Coach and Steamboat from Halifax, N. S. This Colony, with respect to sulubrity ofclimate, fertility ofsoil,and excellent waters, is second to few, if any, in the British Dominions. The capitalist who determines on elm- grating, may here purchase wilderness lands from 15s. to 25s,‘ per acre; or improved Farms, in different sections of the Island, ill from £9 mfli per acre, according to situation, and the value of the Buildings erected upon the property. The SOIl of this Island produces ne’arly all kinds of grain, hay and vegetables; and cattle, us well as agricultural implements,‘suitable to the Colony, can be obtained at moderate prices. There are twelve Agricultural Societies, established within the last few years, actively employed in introducing from different countries the most improved breeds ofLive Stock, Agricultural Implements, &.c. suitable for the farmer. _ _ To the Emigrant, even though but asmall capitalist, Prince Edward Island offers many advantages :—First, its general pros- perity, which is sufficiently proved by the increase of Its ex- ports, and its steadily improving revenue. Second, ahealtby climate. Third, a plentiful supply ofgood water throughout the whole Island. Fourth, the fertility of the soil,and its freedom from all taxes, burthcnsonie to the Senior. Fifth, the convenience of settlement, whereby the ruinous expenses wliichrare some- .times incurred, by having to travel hundreds of miles, .after landing, to a place of location, are almost totally ‘avmdcd. Sixth, a certain remuneration for the labours ofthe Agriculturist, by a sure market, and a fair price, for all the surplus produce ol his farm. Seventh, the labourer readily meets With employ- ment, and receives liberal wages. Eiglith,to the British Emi- gmnt it offers the enjoyment of the benefits to be dcriyed from the laws, language, customs and manners of his nativcland; and he preserves in himself an identity ofintercst with that of the parent state. Ninth, Prince Edward Island is now only thirteen days’ travel, by Cunard's line of Atlantic Steamerstfronr England; and, if a Colony affording regular opportunities of peedy intercourse with the mother country, and possessing the advantages before enumerated, be destrable, the Advertiser, who has spent twenty years in the Island, thinks he may safely venture to invite such individuals as have resolved, or shall de- termine to emigrate, to pay it a visit; and should they be indu- ced to establish themselves and families here, in preference to a foreign state, they will have the satisfaction to know that heir posterity vvill be scions of the British Empire. I]? To individuals intending to emigrate from England to Prince Edward Island, it maybe well to observe, that Vessels are to be found in London, Liverpool, Bristol, Plymouth, Bideford, Newport, Gloucester, Southampton, Hull, Netscastlc-upan-Tj/ne, Yarmouth, and all the principal ports in Britain, ell/'16?- direct for the Colony, or to Pictou, Nora Scotia; or Mintmwhz, New, ‘Brunswick: these latter ports being only a short distance from‘ Prince Edward Island, and, between which and the Island, It Ste-(mi Boat and sailing Vessals are generally running weekly during. the period of the navigation‘s remaining open.
