friend in Boston, dated Charotetown, Prince

''If you desire to learn anything about The fish

ton. am full ofit. Politicians make the fish
row. The mass OF the people, the farmers and
small traders along shore, want our fishermen TO
come here. A junta at Halifax, descendants of
the renegade tories who fed from the United
States at the Ame Of the revelation, do all the
mischief.
As matters are progressing now, the herring
and mackerel fishery is being completely annihi-
lated. Those fish are never caught three miles
from the land.
1t is "a great country here-mineras, agricul-
ture, and fish. This island where we are, is
perfect garden. You have seen those gentle,
beautiful English landscapes, so universally ad
mired. This is one. One can hardly realize the
fact Not stone in the whole island, nor hill,
except those rolling unduations that painters
sketch, but seldom from nature.
Within sixty miles of Halifax, there are more
harbors where ship of the line can get in or
out against wind and tide, than, may say, the
whole world beside They are harbOrs that do
not freeze. In all the vast sea- coast of our cOun.

Then we shall have a north, grand and worthy
rival of the mighty, mighty west. God never
meant this rich portion of the domain he gave to
man, should remain long in the possession Of
such laggards as are found here.
The weather here tins summer, is like the eter-
nal calm of the tropics. No Bay of Fundy fogs,
no gales; clear, cloudless, and smooth.

The FALL OF TABLE RocK.-We have
conversed with gentleman, who, with his wife,
was, few minutes before it fell, on the extreme
projecting point of the Table Rock, looking over
at shale of the rock that had fallen about eight
O'Clock that morning. Our informant had passed
from Table Rock TO the ferry, and was about
midway across the river when the rock fell, with
a noise resembling ga broadsde from fiigate, ;"
completely obstructing the pathway that leads
under the great sheet Of water. The fallen mass
is of that magnitude that it is supposed no effort
will be made to throw it into the river Indeed,
the prevailing sentiment at the Falls, was decid.
eddy against its removal, as it is evident 10 every
one who knows the locality, that there has at all
times been hazard in going under the sheet
Three masses fell-frst the shaIe, then the
large portion of Table Rock, and in few min
utes after, IFS small remainder
There was no person uuder the sheet of water
when the rock fell, but several persons were
dressing for the expedition.-.N Y. Com. Id

two deputies in charge AT his residence till Monday,
when the body of the negro was dsinierred, and an
inquest held over ii by the Coroner. The mani

present also assentmg-was, that he died from the
effects Of the blows and kicks he had received from
his master. Persons who witnessed the examination

STAND FROM UNDER. -"Prof." J. w, Jewett
OF North Carolina, who has made comets his study
for the last thirty four years, recently predicted that
the comet then visible, would come in contact with
the earth between the Sd and 18Th Of the present
month. He made the following awful disclosures;
"Ihe diameter Of this conner (says Professor
JewetD is 100 GOO miles, and its velocity about 3d..
OOO miles minute; consequently, lis direct concus-
sion would produce consequences disastrous in the
extreme to all It's inhabitants But il it strikes the
earth slantlng, making acute plane with The an.
gle OF It's surface (Which think il will between the
I'd and 18th OF September,) it will probably glance
without actually carrying away any portion of the
surface, but only greatly disturb it, and, of course
destroy all objects, animate nanimate, which NAV
be IN It's course. 1t may become us, under circum
stances like these, TO consider if there be any posi-.
BILE means OF avering the danger. | cannot find any
reliable data Tor calculations to what part Of the
earth's surface wlll'be the first point of contact
The number OF victims of this dreadful Judgment
might probably be greatly decreased by the removal
oil the inhabitants from that part, and placing them
IN comparative security on the other side of the
globes but hold no delnsious--I leave that matter
IN obscuiy, because, as said above, the data are
insufficient. II the comet should first strike the
water-say in the middle Of the Atlantic or Pacific
Ocean--it may cause a pariabor general deluge, as
one did in the time of Noah. In that case the best
plan would be TO take TO boats. Ii it should strike
on thu solid land the evils to be apprehended are
muliilarIous. The conclusion would exiting tnguish
