THE LONDON TABLET ON P. E. ISLAND AFFAIRS.

Tue London Tablet of the 4th inst. contains an excellent Letter from its American correspondent en the affairs of British America. Reference is made to Prince Edward Island, from which it clearly appears that the writer has closgly studied the condition of this country. We sincerely trust that his well expressed opinions and his informa- tion, addressed to so large an audience as the readers of the Tablet, may not be without some advautage to this Island. The following is the portion of the Letter which relates to this Island:

“ There is one small British Colony in the Gulf of the St. Laurence, lying along the New Bruns- wick shore, inhabited by some seventy-five thou- sand » the one half almost of whom are Catholic, that urhappilv at present constitutes a grave exception to the civil and religious freedom obtaining in the rest, and it rejoices in the name of Prince Edward Island.

“ Allow me in this conneetion, and with the very best object, a few words with the present Iniperial Minister for the Colonies,

To appoint such a man Chaplain of | the Assembly is an insult to common sense, a burlesque on religion ; and we are happy to learn that the opposition members ure de termined on all occasions when tie Rey.

—_-<_>-— ---—- PARTICULARS CF THE PECULIAR INsTITU- TIoN.—A correspondent of the Cincinnatti Com-

mercial at Lake Providence narrates the follow- ing:—

“On a large plantation near Lake Providence there lives a wealthy Southerner named Govey Hood. Mr. Hood, though unmarried, is not un- mate@ He lives in astate bordering, as he thinks, on connubial bliss, with a quadroon for whom he paid $1500 in New Orleans. Two intelligent- looking, black-eyed, black-haired girls, one of then about nineteen years of age, the other about six- teen, are the fruite of this “ union.’’ By the laws of the State, in such cases, the children take their status trom the mother, se that the two girls are at ouce Mr.gHoed’s daughters and his slaves, and he boasts that if this abolition war were not in pregress he could get $2000 a piece for them. Mr. Hood is looked upon as the true type ot a Southern gentleman. His wealth is so great that his moral shortcomings are entirely overlooked, | and he is reeeived into the best society of the parish as one worthy of acceptance.

In the Seventy-eighth Ohiv Regiment there is a man who was taken, as a runaway slave, into our lines in Tennessee a few months ago. His com-

j

as pure as there is in any State, North or South,

. His skin is fair, his eyes blue, his lips thin, and his hair light. Lis Tennessee ‘ maater ’ admitted to Colonel Legget of the Seventy-eighth that there was not a drop of African blood in the veyns of his ‘slave.’ Hebought him in Richmond, Kentucky, several years ago, and says he was sold into slavery out of some charitable institute to which he had been committed as rant. The man himself appears to know nothing of his parentage or origin. He can neither read nor write, and only knows that be is very glad to have escaped from bondage. This is the clearest case on record of a white man being sold into slavery. The man is now an enlisted soldier in the Seventy- eighth, and the officers of the regiment say he is a faithful aud worthy man.”

Neero Statistics. —The preliminary report of the Supirintendant of the Kighth Census has just been printed. It abounds with valaable information, and the following statis- ties, relating to free negroes and people of colour, cannot fail to be of interest at this time :

Pennsylvania hasa free negro population of 56,849 more than can be found in any other of the Free States. The six New Eng- land States have the following : Maine 1,827, New Hampshire 494, Vermont 709, Mas- sachusetts 9,602, Rhode Island 3,952, Con- necticut 8,627, or all together 24,711 ; be- ing far less than one-half of the number in our State. During the last ten years Penn- sylvania has added to her coloured popula- tion 3,223, while New York State has 64 lees than sbe had in 1850.

The Superintendant says: ‘ The greater mildnees of the climate and a milder type of the prejudices connected with this class of the population, the result of benevolent in- fluences, and its proximity to the Slavehold- ing States, may account for the fact that this race holds its own in Pennsylvania, while undergoing a diminution in the State next adjoining it on the north.”” This increase is owing entirely to emigration, for it is a re- markable fact that that race does not increase from natural causes, for the report says : “ In Philadelphia during the last six months of the censas year the new a registration gives 148 births against 306 deaths, emong the free coloured.” ais

HE “ Act to promote Vaccination” requires the Superintendent Vaccinator to

periormance of such Vaccination, and to give notice of the same; and also of the days and hours at which he will attend at such place, to Vaccinate all

ersons who may then uppear there requiring such Veensmtion ; and also of the days and hours at which such Superintendent will attend to inspect the progress of such Vacciuation in the persons so Vaccinated.

THIS IS, therefore, TO GIVE NOTICE, that I have appointed a convenient room in the OLD COURT HOUSE, as the place at which I will attend, on WEDNESDAY the 28th day of APRIL, instant, from 2 to 5 o’elock, p.m., and on every suec- ceeding Wednesday until the 3rd of JUNE next, ensuing.

The Act requires that every Father or Mother of every Child under the age of Twelve Years, or over tie age of Three Months, shall take, or cause the same to be taken, to the Superintendent, as aforesaid, at the place and times appointed by him, in order to be Vaccinated or inspected, as the case may be. Or, in the event of the death, illness, absence, or inability of the Father and Mother, then and in such case, the person who hasthe care, nurture or custody of the Child or Children, shall take, or canse to be taken, the said Child or Child- ren to the Superintendent for the purpose of being Vaccinated unless such Child or Children shall have been previously Vaccinated by some legally quali- fied practitioner.

For non-compliance with the provisions of the Act, persons concerned will each be liable to a penalty of Ten Shillings, or imprisonment for six months

In order to render Vaccination accessible to all persons, the charge is limited to not more than One »Shilling, and where that sum cannot be afferded, no charge whatever will be made; so that there being no exeuse for not obtaining the protection ef Vaccination, all persons —t against the Sta- tute must expect the penalties will be enforced.

P. S.—In order to guard as much as possible against the introduction of Small Pox, it is earnestly requested of all owners and masters of vessels, hailing from this port, that they will be careful not to ship Sailors or Passengers (intending to return to this Island) without assurance of them having been Vaccinated or having had the Small Pox. The many instances in which that fatal disease has been brought to this country, by inattention to this ad- vice, it it hoped will operate as a stimalus to future care. Any Sailor or person about to sail to foreign

ports may be Vaceinated at the Dispensary on any day,

In proof of same, Mr. W. Hyde, West River, whose butterand cheese are so highly prized where- me they can be got, certifies he purchased one of those .
