PRINCE EDWARD'S ISLAND.

We hay.e.' beeu favoured with a staterneut of
ere number of 'vessels built and registered within this Island
dining the past year, with an account of the Exports, extracted
frern the;Custom-house Rooks. There appears to be a defi-
viency in' the export of agricultural 'produce compared, with
Out of former years, but it is to be attributed to the increased
ditnatid in the country,' arising from the 'extemkion of ship-
building, and of the number of hands to which it gives. Fm-
ployment. So great indeed has been the general increase in
the population on the Island, that upon the average, we be-

liere, the 'number of persons has been made up, which the

• 'original grants of land required to be settled on each location.
On -many allotments little has of course been done; but on
• others the intentions of Government have been fully accomplished
by the exertions and the liberality of the proprietors. We' have
also been favoured with a copy of the Journal of the House of.
A.ssembly for the Session commencing on the 12th of October
last, *am which, it would appear that the utmost harmony and
cordiality prevailed between his Excellency Colonel READ,
the Gevernar, and the 'Legislature of this once distracted and
mismanaged Colony. During this short Session several sub-
jects of importance, connected with internal improvements and
the commercial interests of the Island, were brought under con-
sideration. Liberal .provision woaiiitute for constructing pew
roads between the several townships; 'measures were taken for
procuring a suitable residence- for the Governor until arrange-
ments were made for erecting a new Government House, .and
other public buildings ; and, the :subject of 'the :addition of
Charlotte Town, Three Rivers, and Richmond Bay to the mmt-
bet of free ports in North' America, was revived ; a subject of
infinite importance under any circumstances, tnore particularly
in the event of a decline in ship-building, (for some years the
principal branch of trade in the Colony), compelling the buil.
tiers to embark their capital in other pursuits.
