Mr. George Black, Senior, as well for himself as on the part of his Son, begs to return his sincere thanks to the Fire Companies, under the superintendence of Mr. N. Wells, Fire Inspector, who attended so promptly at the Fire which took place yesterday, at his property at Cape Cove. To Messrs. A. Gilmour & Co., he begs, in an especial manner, to return many thanks for their kindness in sending with such despatch, their two engines with all the men employed at their establishment at Wolfe's Cove, and to all his old neighbors in Cap Bla? and throughout Champlain Street, as well as to his friends generally, he feels deeply indebted for their kind and arduous exertions. To the great efforts of all combined, he has, under Providence, to be thankful for the speedy manner in which the fire was subdued, and with such trifling loss, but which otherwise might have been attended with very serious consequences.
George Black, Senior.
Quebec, 1^st July, 1847.

Emigration of Labourers.
Generous Conduct of an American Merchant.
This morning, the beautiful brig Roding, Captain Ashton, dropped down the river on her voyage to Quebec, with over 120 Emigrants on board, who were fortunate enough to have their passage paid, and to be ensured a comfortable locality on their arrival at the other side of the Atlantic. For this timely and acceptable boon they are indebted to the liberality of Mr. Price, the head of the eminent firm of Price & Co., of Quebec, who, through their agent here, Mr. E.G. Barry, of Ballinvilling, Fermoy, chartered the ship, provided her with abundance of provisions, and sent her passengers on their way to a prosperous land where industry has its rewards, and where those from Ireland, who have settled in the same district, have been enabled to send considerable remittances to their friends in this country. We visited the ship last evening, and were much gratified at the cleanliness, comfort, and regularity observable on board. The passengers were almost all young, stout, and healthy-looking agricultural labourers, well clad, full of hope, and expressed themselves most grateful for the kindness of Mr. Price and the attention of Mr. Barry. They will be landed at Green Island near Quebec, where a location is prepared for them, and they will repay the expense of passage, &c. out of their earnings. They are principally from the neighbourhood of Fermoy, Lismore, and Tallow. The ship is well supplied with breadstuffs and water for seventy days, and tea, sugar, &c., duty free out of the Custom House. The Roding is one of the handsomest of her class that ever left the port, and her Captain a most intelligent and experienced seaman.-(Cork Southern Reporter 15^th May.)

Nothing new here to-day-it is reported that Stephen Yarwood, the Emigrant Agent, died last night. I am sorry to say that the ship fever has already found its way into the houses of many of our citizens. The Board of Health have applied to Government for assistance, and recommended that the Board of Works be instructed to wall in that part of the suburbs at present in use of the emigrants, for the purpose of keeping them from carrying into the heart of the city, a disease, which if some immediate remedy be not applied, will sweep with as much destruction thousands to their graves, as did the cholera of 1832 and 1834. [From the Montreal Correspondent.]

We regret to announce that Stephen Yarwood, Esq., Emigrant Agent at Montreal, died suddenly at that place the night before last. His body was brought down, this morning by the steamer Montreal, for interment. Mr. Yarwood's death will no doubt be much deplored by many in this city, where he has been long and favorably known.

Among deaths by fever, we notice those of Captain Fittock, of the Ninian, who died yesterday morning; and Captain Samson of the ship John Bolton. The mate of the Ninian died of the same disease a few days since; and the mate of the John Bolton is dangerously seriously ill.

We regret to learn that Captain Horton, of the Corinthian, now lying at Munn's Wharf, terminated his existence, by hanging himself yesterday morning.

In a St. Johns, (N.F.) Paper of the 5^th June, it is stated that Capt. Culleton, of the brig Margaret Palmer, had been fined at the Sessions Court, in the mitigated penalty of £145 sterling, for several breaches of the Passengers' Act; the provisions of which (looking at the sickly condition of the poor in many of the counties in Ireland from which emigration is rapidly taking place,) cannot be too rigidly enforced.

The 52^nd Regiment of Light Infantry will leave Canada in a few days for England. We understand that their destination is Portsmouth. It is said that they will be relieved in this garrison by the 77^th.

On the authority of a letter from an officer of the 42^nd Royal Highlanders, now in the Mediterranean, addressed to a gentleman in this town, we hear that that celebrated regiment are likely to see Canada on the course of a year. They have not been in this continent since the first American War.-(Montreal Courier.)

The Penelope, at this port, spoke, on the 14^th June, in lat. 45, 12, long. 43, 30, the Lively, Checkney, from Cork to Quebec, out 17 days, with passengers, 14 of whom had died.

Launch.-Yesterday morning, from Mr. Tibbits' ship-yard, a fine new ship of about 600 tons, called the Ann Tibbits.

Passengers.
In the packet ship Garrick, from New York for Liverpool-Mr Josiah Livingston and Mr G.A. Thompson, of Canada.

We observe with pleasure that, at the second monthly exhibition of the Montreal Horticultural Society, held on Wednesday last, Mr. Lowe, gardener to H. Atkinson, Esq., of Spencer Wood, near this city, obtained prizes for the best grapes, under the head of fruits; for the best cucumbers under that of vegetables; and for the best fuchias under that of flowers.

We regret to announce the death, yesterday, of the Rev. Mr. Robson, of the Roman Catholic Clergy. In the discharge of his duties at the Quarantine Station he contracted the fever, to which he has fallen a victim. His funeral takes place this morning in the Church of the Hotel Dieu.

Drs. Dease, Dickenson, Malhiot, Fenwick and Jamieson, forming part of the medical staff at the station, have been sent up sick.

We understand that several fatal cases of ship fever have taken place in emigrant lodging-houses of this city, and that the disease is caught by those who purchase feather beds and other articles from the new comers who are in a sickly state.

We are informed that fifteen of the Nuns who attend the emigrant sheds are so much exhausted by their incessant labour, that they have been obliged to retire to recruit their health and strength. They are relieved by as many more from the different religious establishments in this city. (Montreal Transcript.)

The new ship Reliance, left Boston on the 27^th ultimo for Cork, partly filled with bread-stuffs, clothing, &c. shipped by the Boston Relief Committee, valued at $29,369 13.[sic]

The passengers by the Junior are being shipped from the tents on board the Rowland Hill. The Junior and the Eliza Morrison will leave to-morrow.

Relief To Ireland.-The Central Relief Committee of Dublin, Ireland, acknowledge the receipt of £15,000 in donations from the United States-and provisions, including those on the way, equal to 40,000 bbls. If these provisions, says the New York Journal of Commerce, were on an average worth five dollars a barrel, then the whole value of donations from the Untied States acknowledged by the Dublin Committee, is about $275,000. Again, if we take into account what has been sent direct to Scotland, and to parts of Ireland remote from Dublin, not being consigned to the Dublin committee, the total will doubtless exceed $3,000,000. The history of the world does not afford another such instance of private charity extended from one people to another, by a different nation.

Terrible Accident.-The freight train on the Camden and Amboy railroad, from Philadelphia to New York, on Friday night, ran off the track with a terrible crash, destroying two cars, killing three immigrant passengers on the spot, and very badly wounding two or three others. The remains of the three killed were decently interred at Amboy on Saturday.

Progress of Immigration.-There have arrived at the Quarantine Ground, Staten Island, between the 2d of April and the 26^th of June, this year, a period of 85 days, 75,000 emigrants, by far the largest portion of whom are Germans, having the means and intention of moving to the far West. Very little sickness has been experienced amongst them.-Jour. Commerce.

We learn from the Bytown Gazette of the 30^th ult. that on Sunday last an unfortunate emigrant threw himself overboard, as the steamer in which he came from Montreal, was rounding the point, near the steamboat Landing. The boat was immediately stopped and every exertion made to rescue him, but all in vain. We learn from his brother, that the deceased was a young man in the prime of life, and had not suffered from sickness until the day before he committed suicide, when he had been attacked by violent fever and delirium, under the influence of which he was labouring at the time of committing the act.

Upon the arrival of the Steamer at the Basin Wharf a mob collected and took possession of her, alleging that the Captain had not used sufficient exertions to save the man, and expressing their determination to have satisfaction from him. Violence would, doubtless, have ensued, but for the timely appearance of Sheriff Fraser and two or three of the Magistrates. The Sheriff explained to the mob that even the brother of the deceased was satisfied that no effort had been wanting on the part of the Captain of the Boat and that no blame could be attached to him. After repeated assurances of this they finally consented to disperse.

We have again the melancholy duty to perform, of announcing the death of two more ship-masters. Captain Christan, of the ship Sisters, died at Point Levy yesterday morning, of fever. The vessel is lying at Diamond Harbour, with the chief mate and part of the crew sick. Another victim to this fell disease is the Captain of the Paragon, who died on Thursday evening last.

The Rev. Messrs. Ferland, Melligan and Payment, Roman Catholic priests, left on Monday last for the Quarantine Station.

The Hon. L. Panet and F.W. Primrose have been appointed Commissioners to purchase a place of interment for emigrants and others dying in the hospitals.

The Newark Advertiser of the 26^th ultimo says, that the beautiful grounds and mansion belonging to the estate of the late Joseph Napoleon Bonaparte, ex king of Spain, were that day sold at auction for the sum of $30,500. Mr. Thomas Richards, of Philadelphia, was the purchaser. It is said that the buildings alone cost over $60,000. The paintings, sculpture, furniture, &c., sold at much lower rates that[sic] I had anticipated; some articles being sold for half their value. The paintings brought from $10 to $1050. Two lions and a fawn, by Rubens, sold for the largest sum. "Navitity of our Saviour," by Raphael Moengs, brought $1,000.; the portrait of a dog, by Hackets, brought $210. The picture of Napoleon crossing the Alps, by David, the proprietors refused to put up unless the sum of $6,000 was bid for it. As no person present was willing to bid that sum it was passed, and will be sent to Europe.

He therefore determined to use all the means in his own power for the protection of the property under his care; and hearing that H.M. Steamer Vesuvius, was lying at an island about 15 miles distant, he hired a boat and despatched a messenger claiming assistance and protection. This was declined without assigning any reason and being apprehensive that the ship would become a wreck, the wind setting in very strong, he commenced landing his cargo and succeeded in getting about 350 barrels of Flour on shore, when she fell over on her beam ends and he was unable to land any more. When our informants left, the captain with his crew were standing guard over the flour, which was lying on the beach, and they were determined not to give it up until it was taken from them by main force, while on the other hand a ragamuffin kind of police, calling themselves the "gens d'armes," were also on the spot claiming the goods on behalf of the French authorities and preventing them from removing them to any place of safety. Mr. Palmer represents in forcible terms the necessity of some persons being on the spot for the protection of British property when cast away, and states that within a distance of nine miles along the coast he counted the remains of fifty wrecks, principally British Shipping. He is about forwarding to the Lieut. Governor of Newfoundland, that being the Government nearest the scene of the outrage, a statement of the whole affair drawn up on the spot, in order that some steps may be taken for the remedying of the evil."

The steamer Canada arrived from Montreal yesterdy[sic], with the bark Cape Breton, bark Arno, brig Mary Brack, brig Percy and a barge in tow. She leaves for the same port this afternoon, with the Charles, Palmas, Lord Palmure and Amelia Jane in tow.

Capt. Beart, of the bark Graham, arrived yesterday, reports having seen a vessel ashore at Becsic River, (Anticosti) with a flag flying at the maintop head-stood close in and saw that the crew had left her.

The schr. Elizabeth, Lloyd, from Mansanilla for Quebec, with sugar and honey, ran ashore on Carysfort Reef, on the morning of the 12^th June, and would be a total loss-cargo all saved.

The ship Emigrant, Hill, cleared at New York for Quebec on the 30^th June.

The ship Commodore, at St. John's N.B., exchanged signals, on the 10^th June, in lat. 49, 26, long. 38, 46, with the ship Goliah, 18 days out from Liverpool for Quebec, with passengers.

The bark Jemima, hence for London, was spoken on the 23^rd ult., 20 miles N.W. of the Bird Islands, by the bark Clansman, arrived here yesterday.

H.M. troop ship Apollo, from Portsmouth, via Halifax, with drafts, arrived at Grosse Isle on Sunday, where she now lies in quarantine, there being several cases of small pox on board.

(Ad from paper)...Ship Fever
That this Disease is contagious there now can be no doubt, and is rapidly spreading throughout the country. It becomes the duty of every person as well as the authorities, to guard against it. Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla will prevent this disease. If the Blood is pure and healthy it is impossible to take this disease or any other. Let all such as have impure Blood, or are in any way debilitated, and especially weakly children, use it and protect them from the Pestilence and the Hot Season. It has been fairly tested in New York City, and proved beyond dispute to be invaluable in the prevention of disease.

By some mistake, our Montreal correspondent's letter of Saturday evening did not come to hand until yesterday afternoon. We subjoin those portions of it which have not been already anticipated:--
"Montreal, 3^rd July, 1847.
"Mr. Crispo, R.N., has been appointed assistant emigrant agent, on account of the increase of duties to be performed.

"The number of deaths at the emigrant sheds, during the past week was 225, and in the city 50, making the total number 275. Upwards of 1600 are now sick in the hospital near the canal. The deaths in the city for the preceding seven days are as follows:--

Boys 26; married men 16; widowers 2; bachelors 5,	49
Girls 27; married women 15; widows 6; unmarried women 4,	52
Total	101
Of whom are emigrants,	50
	51
Corresponding week last year	55
In favour of 1846	4

"By this statement you will perceive that our city, deducting the deaths of emigrants, is at this period, compared with the corresponding period last year, in a more healthy state. Dr. Liddell, who has charge of the hospital at the sheds, is very ill with fever.

"The extensive drug establishment of William Lyman & Co., St. Paul street, was last evening discovered to be on fire, by the policeman on duty in that locality. A fire engine was immediately brought to the spot, and, with great exertions, the fire was prevented from spreading.

"On Friday night, at a very early hour, the sojourners at the Exchange Hotel were alarmed by cries of distress, which, as it turned out, proceeded from the following cause:-It appears that an American lady, in charge of some friends who were proceeding with her from Upper Canada, to an insane asylum in the United States, succeeded in escaping from her custodians and getting out into the balcony of the above mentioned hotel, slipped down the pillars into the street. Having accomplished this difficult feat, she rushed down tot he river side and plunged in. Her friends were, however, speedily on the spot, and through their exertions, she was fortunately rescued from the fate that would otherwise have awaited her.

"I have nothing of commercial importance to note.-Flour, grain and freights have all a slight tendency downward."

Ship Fever.-We are sorry to announce that Capt. C.L. Armstrong, of the steamer Queen, and Capt. Rodolph, of the Quebec, have both contracted this dangerous disease in the discharge of their duties. These two have been but slightly attached, and it is hoped they will shortly recover. The last accounts respecting Capt. Freniere, of the steamer Canada, are, that he was dangerously ill,-not dead-as has been stated. We are pained to learn that the Rev. Mr. Chaderton, Protestant Episcopal minister, attending the Marine Hospital, has likewise caught the infection.

"The appearance of the plant [potato] to the eye is certainly healthy ; the haulm and leaves look green and free from disease, and, judging from external evidences, we should pronounce the crop perfectly sound. It seems, however, that upon closer investigation, made by parties possessing the requisite qualifications to examine the matter scientifically, symptoms of incipient disease have been discovered." (Marklane Express)

"The following items of news I extract from a slip issued from the Herald Office:--
The subject of Emigration has been again brought before the Legislature by Lord Lincoln, and a Committee is to be appointed to investigate the subject. Lord Lincoln endeavoured to show that the land in Ireland would not now support the people, and that a poor law must be aided by some means of draining off the population.

The crops appear to be promising throughout the country, and it will be seen that markets have a downward tendency. There are many contradictory reports about the potatoes, the difference probably arising from the diversity of localities; but in every other respect the most favourable reports prevail.

Atlantic Steamships.
Arrival of the "Britannia."-The British and North American Royal Mail Steamer Britannia, under the command of Captain Harrison, which sailed from Boston on the 1^st inst., arrived at this port on Sunday, the 13^th, about nine o'clock p.m., after a rapid passage of only twelve days.

Arrival of the "Washington."-The steam-ship Washington, the first American Ocean mail steamer, from New York, arrived at Southampton at three o'clock on Tuesday last, after a passage of fourteen days.

A New Steamer For New York.-The Gaudalquiver, a new steam vessel, is intended to be despatched from Liverpool for New York, about the 20^th July. She will be taken out by Captain Hosken, a circumstance that will be regarded by many persons with gratification, since, whatever opinion may be entertained respecting the loss of the Great Britain, confidence is placed in him for the singular success of his previous career.

The Great Britian.-Since our last notice of the condition of this noble ship, another spring tide has gone off, but it was so low a one that nothing beyond digging trenches to lower the water, and breaking up the faggots, was attempted. Some of the Liverpool papers say the attempt to float her will be made on the 1^st proximo. Another authority says,-operations are to be immediately commenced, preparatory to floating her off into deep water. Mr. Brunell's breakwater has protected her exceedingly well throughout the winter, and now she is to be forthwith taken in hand by Mr. Bremen, the eminent engineer, who is charged with the duty of releasing her from her long imprisonment. The contrivances for raising her stupendous bulk are at once simple and ingenious, and so far as we can judge, certain to prove effectual.

A meeting of the Board of Health was held on the 5^th, when a most fearful report respecting the sickness at the Emigrant sheds was submitted by Dr. McCulloch.

He had visited and found every part of the sheds in the worst condition. In one apartment, of little more that 20 feet square, 33 women dangerously ill of fever were crowded together. In another end of the building, about 20 feet by 15, he found 350 children, including many infants of but a few months old,-all suffering; and many dying, for want of food. The Nuns and Physician in attendance, assured Dr. McCulloch that four gallons of milk was all allowed to satisfy the cries of this little multitude. Deaths are on the increase, and yet Government have taken no steps to remedy the evil.

The weather during the past week has been exceedingly warm. During yesterday and to-day, the Thermometer indicated from 85 to 89 and 90 degrees in the shade.

The Rev. Mr. Montminy, curé of St. Gervais, died on Wednesday morning last. He had been employed at the Quarantine Station, where he contracted the disease.

The number of deaths at Grosse Isle for the week ending Saturday last, was 144; 331 discharged; in hospital 1817. Forty-two bodies, (chiefly children) were brought on shore and buried on the island, during the same period.

The following is the list of officers arrived in the Apollo:--
Royal Artillery-1^st Lieuts. Godby, Miller and Govan. Second Lieuts. Ingleby and Gabbatt.
23^rd Fusileers-Lieut. Hopton.
71^st Light Infantry-Capt. F.S. Scott, Ensign Brown, and Asst.-Surgeon Jean.
2^nd Batt. Rifle Brigade-Lieut. Newdegate, Asst.-Surgeon Fraser.
Staff Surgeon Home, R.C. Rifle Regiment.

We regret to announce that Capt. Heitland, Royal Artillery, died of small pox on the 30^th ultimo, and was interred on Hare Island.

A detachment of the Royal Artillery, and Reserve Battalion Rifle Brigade, landed from her yesterday and marched to their respective Barracks. A strong detachment of the 23^rd Fusileers, 71^st Highland Lt. Infantry, and 2^nd Battalion Rifle Brigade, proceeded upwards in the steamboat Montreal, last evening.

High Water At Quebec This Day

Heat.-The weather here continues at such a tropical temperature, that it is to be feared if a cool north-easter does not speedily set in, we shall "melt, thaw, and resolve ourselves into a dew," the thermometer for the past two or three days having being as high as 95 degrees, Fahrenheit, in the shade. At Montreal, the heat is likewise described as being insupportable. The Minerve says, that on Wednesday, two habitants, who had been at the city, and were on their return home, fell down dead at Repentigny, being struck by a coup-de-soloeil; and it is mentioned in the Gazette, that on Thursday, a person died suddenly, after having incautiously drank some cold water. Nothing is so conducive, in the present state of the weather, to the preservation of health, as regularity of living and personal cleanliness; and for the accommodation of the labouring class, it is much to be regretted, that baths, on an economical scale, are not established: we feel sure they would pay, and would prove a great public convenience.

From the statements which appear in the Montreal papers, it would seem that a greater amount of sickness and mortality prevails there than here in Quebec, of the truth of which the following statement from the Pilot is a sad corroboration:--
"There are at the present moment 48 Nuns sick from exposure, fatigue and attacks of disease. All the Grey Nuns in attendance, 2 of the Sisters of Charity, 5 Physicians and 8 Students, now lie sick; to which gloomy and sickening record we must add the number of 1,586 persons, of all ages and sexes, lingering on beds of wretchedness and corruption, in many cases without an attendant to afford a drop of water, or even attend those decent formalities which the sad solemnities of death require. The intelligence further adds, that the living and the dead were mingled in groups together, and presented a spectacle where Death reigned in his most terrible inflictions, and where oppressed humanity had assembled to pay him tribute."

Emigration.-On Tuesday last a number of gentlemen visited the Island of Boncherville, with the object of judging of its capabilities as a sort of quarantine depot for the sick and indigent emigrants daily arriving at Montreal. On their return to the city, on board the steamer, the Hon. J. Ferrier was called to the chair, and a very interesting discussion took place on the subject of the mission to DeBoucherville Island, when, as a general expression of their views, the annexed resolution was proposed and unanimous adopted:--
Resolved-That in view of the appalling mortality among emigrants and the spread of the disease into the city, this meeting, composed chiefly of individuals connected with the Montreal Board of Health and the Emigrant Committee, after a personal inspection of Boucherville Island, recommend that the same be selected as a site for Emigrant Sheds, Hospitals, &c. &c., for the Port of Montreal, if a better cannot be found; and to appoint Wm. Workman, Dr. Hall, and Mr. John Dougall, a Committee to draw up an Address to the proper authorities, setting forth the reasons for this recommendation. The necessity of some such movement appears obvious, not only for the above reasons, but from the startling fact that the proprietors of the steamboats on Lake Champlain have come to the resolution of not conveying any emigrants by that route, to the United States, however apparently healthy, alleging as a reason that disease continually breaks out among them. The real object is to prevent inconvenience to American tourists.

The Government has appointed a Commission, to whom are to be referred all matters connected with the Immigrants at Montreal. The Commission issued on Thursday and is directed to the Hon. Adam Ferrie, Messrs. John Dougall, John E. Mills, Thos. Ryan and J.M. Tobin.

Quebec, 12^th July, 1847.

Summary From The English Mail
Politics dull; trade ditto; weather hot; sickness great; may, in brief, be considered the essence of the intelligence which we are about to give in our summary.

In the Legislature the estimates have been brought forward and passed. The estimated expenditure for 1847 is £454,298 10s. 10d., and the revenue £592,251 3s. 7d. The House, it is expected, will be prorogued about the 25^th instant, to meet again in February next. Notwithstanding their small majority, it is believed ministers will be able to carry on the Government, at least for this session. A motion of want of confidence in the Commissioner of Crown Lands, Mr. D.B. Papineau, was brought forward by Mr. Cameron, the member for Lanark, but was negatived on a division of 32 yeas; 36 nays.

Trade is unusually dull at this season; everybody is complaining. The news by the Caledonia, which reached here on the 7^th, had the effect of greatly reducing the prices of provisions. Flour is now as low as 31s. per barrel.

As regards public improvements we may here mention that the line of electric telegraph will very shortly be in operation; and there is every prospect of a great desideratum being supplied to Quebec,-we allude to the contemplated Gas works. Mr. Peebles, the superintendent of the Company, arrived in town on Saturday last; the necessary preparations are to be immediately commenced, and it is expected will be completed and the city lighted by May next.

Emigrant vessels are daily arriving, bringing with them numbers of passengers in the most abject state of misery and destitution, to be thrown upon the charity of the benevolent of this province; as well as others of a superior class, whose arrival here is always viewed with satisfaction. Several German vessels have lately arrived with passengers, stout, healthy people, who must necessarily make good settlers. The press, generally, throughout the province, speaks indignantly of the shipping of paupers by selfish or interested landlords in the mother country, or by country parishes in the United Kingdom-desirous of getting rid of their poor;-these instead of being enabled to provide for themselves, by their age, and infirmities, too frequently become a burden upon the colonists.

At Grosse Isle, the Quarantine Station, about 30 miles below Quebec, the sickness has been somewhat less and the deaths not so numerous; but in the different towns where passengers have been landed, on their way to the interior, the hospitals have been filled, and scenes the most appalling are of daily occurrence. In Montreal, particularly, wretchedness almost beyond belief has been, through the medium of the press, brought to light; and this too, in the face of all that has been done to afford relief; the expense already incurred for the immigrants this year having exceeded £20,000.

Mr. Yarwood, the Emigrant Agent at Montreal, for many years a resident of this city, contracted fever in the zealous discharge of his duties, and sank under it, leaving a large family to deplore his loss. Mr. Yarwood, we believe, was a Purser in the Royal Navy, in 1807.

Neither have the captains of the steamboats engaged in the transportation of passengers escaped; several are sick, and Captain Freniere of the steamer Canada, died the other day.

Two Roman Catholic clergymen, the Rev. Messrs. Robson, of St. Michel, and Montmigny, of St. Gervais, have also been carried off by ship fever, which they contracted in the discharge of their religious duties at Grosse Isle.

The Rev. Messrs. Chaderton and Torrance, of the Church of England, now labour under the same disease. The former contracted it in his attendance on the sick in the Marine Hospital; the latter at the Quarantine Station.

H.M. troop ship Apollo arrived in port on Thursday last, with detachments for the regiments in Canada. She left some of the men at the Quarantine Station, who were sick of small-pox. Captain Heitland, R.A. we regret to add, died on board, of this disease, after the vessel came into the river, and was interred on Hare Island.

The health of the resident inhabitants of both Quebec and Montreal, who have not been in contact with the diseased, is, notwithstanding the sickness by which they are surrounded, better this year, than at the same pariod[sic] last season, the Register of interments in these cities shewing a difference in favour of 1847.

The weather is all that could be desired for the country, though as regards personal convenience, it would be more agreeable were it a little cooler. The average range of the thermometer, here, at Montreal and in some parts of the United States from which we have heard, has been during the past week between 90 and 100 degrees, in the shade.

The Journal de Quebec of Saturday last, mentions the death by fever of two Roman Catholic priests at Montreal,-the Rev. Mr. Morgan and the Rev. L. Richard, of St. Sulpice. Seven or eight others are stated to be dangerously ill; and the Superior of the Montreal Seminary is said to have contracted the disease.

The Revue Canadienne states that Mr. Fabre had received a letter from London, dated 18^th June, in which it is mentioned that three of the Canadian exiles had arrived at that place. Their names are.-P.H. Morin, his son Achille, and Pierre Pinsonnault; all in good health. They had taken passage in the Zealous from London to Montreal, on the 16^th June. The remaining eight are expected to arrive in the month of October.

Halifax and Quebec Railway.-We have much pleasure, says the Acadian Recorder of the 3^rd instant, in informing our readers that just previous to the sailing of the Steamship Caledonia from Liverpool, the Hon. S. Cunard, of Halifax was examined before a committee of the House of Commons relative tot he establishment of the important overland communication to Quebec, and that the committee were still in session seeking to obtain additional information.

Number of sick persons sent to the Marine Hosptial by the Officers of the Board of Health, from 8^th to 30^th June, and from 1^st to 10^th July, 1847:

She left Cherbourg on the 22^nd ult., and brings forty-three passengers.

She brings no important news.

The French harvest was looking well. Also in Belgium, Holland and Germany.

In paris,[sic] the prices of breadstuffs were on the advance.

The revolution in Portugal was still unsettled.

The King of Belgium was about to visit England.

Food is admitted free in the French ports, until the 1^st February.

There had been a great fire in Constantinople-some 200 houses burnt.

From Mexico.
The Picayune has further particulars from Mexico by the steamer New Orleans, which state that the election of President has been postponed to the 25^th of November, and Congress has made Santa Anna dictator.

Extensive preparations were making for the defence of the capital, and it was the intention to attack Gen. Scott at three points between Puébla and Mexico.

Alvarez, with 5000 men, and more constantly arriving, were said to be this side of Puebla,[sic] with the design of attacking a train under escort of Gen. Cadwallander.

Gen. C. will probably be joined by Gen. Pillow, so that he will have over 3000 men to meet Alvarez.

The defeat of the guerillas by Generals Cadwallader and Pillow is confirmed.

Gen. Cadwallader is said to have killed 50 and wounded 40, besides taken several prisoners.

The guerillas are growing bolder every day. Mr. Kendall says that the prospects of peace are farther off then ever.

[From our Montreal Correspondent.]
Montreal, July 12, 1847.
"A melancholy accident occurred here early this morning, under the following circumstances.-It appears that the gallery, formerly projected from the house occupied by the Priests, next door to the Bonsecours church, had lately been removed, without the knowledge of Father Godfroi, who as on former occasions stepped from the door leading to the gallery, about day light, fell to the ground and was killed on the spot. I am informed that this person was a very benevolent and humane man, whose loss will be deeply regretted by a large number of our citizens of all denominations.

"The establishment of a Quarantine on one of the Boucherville Islands, has been taken up by several gentlemen in town, who, I have good reason to expect, consider they are doing the only thing that can be done to preserve the town from a pestilence, which if it has not already been visited with, hovers over the city, at no great distance. It is considered by others that Point St. Charles, about five miles above the city, is a much more eligible place for the accommodation of both sick and healthy emigrants.

"A meeting of the committee appointed by government for the purpose of purchasing a suitable place, will be held this evening, when something definite will be done. Six acres of the Point St. Charles property has already been purchased; and it is my opinion that a more suitable locality, under the circumstances of the case, could not have been procured. To speak of removing from 1800 to 2000 men on the verge of death, a distance of about 10 or 11 miles, is a monstrous as it is unnatural. It may be well to consider the expediency of establishing a Quarantine Station at Boucherville, or any other island below Montreal, to guard against a repitition[sic] of what we have experienced this year; but it is too far advanced in the season to do so now. Nearly every physician in the city is in favour of the Point St. Charles station, as being in every capacity more suitable than any island that can be selected for that purpose."

High Water At Quebec This Day

New York, July 8^th-Cleared-Ship Earl of Durham, Hazlewood, for Quebec.

Died
On the 10^th instant, of Coup de Soleil, at Charles Scott's Lacadie, Wm. McGormand, aged 17? years, from Killamore, county Tyrone, Ireland, he had only arrived a few days, by the Woodbine from Londonderry.

In another column will be found a list of the late arrivals at Grosse Isle, with a statement of the number of deaths on board each vessel. The mortality on board the Avon, from Cork, has been frightful. Out of 550 passengers, 136 have died; and the survivors of the crew and passengers are reported all sick.

A letter received from Dr. Douglas, states that the warm weather of last week had had a very serious effect on the health of those on board the vessels lying at the Station.

Three new large wooden sheds are about to be erected at the Quarantine Station, and that part of the island known as the farm, is covered with tents for the accommodation of the sick.

We learn that the Captain of the steamer John Munn has been left at Montreal, very ill.

The Montreal Herald of yesterday mentions the deaths of Lieut. Lloyd, R.N., and Mr. Crispo, from typhus fever, contracted in the performance of their duties in attending upon the sick emigrants at the sheds. The life of the Rev. Mr. Willoughby, pastor of Trinity Church, Montreal, was likewise considered in the greatest danger from the same disease.

It appears by a statement in last night's Mercury, that the total number of deaths at Grosse Isle, up to the 30^th June, was 821; on board ships and buried on the island, to July 8^th, 715; died at sea, 2559; making a total of 4095 deaths.

The number of deaths at the Marine Hospital from the 3^rd to the 10^th instant, was 54; discharged, 228, remaining, 827.

The Montreal Correspondent of the Journal de Quebec corrects his statement respecting the death of the Rev. Mr. Richard, and says that he is convalescent.

The Rev. Mr. Montigny, R.C. priest at Lachine, and sister Limoge, one of the Grey Nuns, are said to have fallen victims to the fever.

We copy from the Buffalo Express, the following account of an elopement and rescue:--
A fugitive couple from Canada were placed in a very unpleasant predicament at our steamboat landing last evening. It appears that that the faithless wife of a man residing in Canada, left her house with a paramour a day or two since, taking from her husband the sum of $500, which he had just returned from England with. The pair were pursued to the Falls, where it became apparent to the injured husband that they had left yesterday afternoon, and came on to this city by Steamboat. He crossed the river, took cars, and reached here in time to be at the Steamboat landing before the Boat, to give the fugitives a welcome.

When the boat arrived at the dock the couple came on shore, and the first one to greet them was the last man in the world they desired to see. The husband was in waiting, and seized upon his wife first, and then turned his attention to the other offending party, whose person received sundry evidences of the sort of leather his boots were made of. The fellow took himself off, while the treacherous wife was taken upon the boat and secured, money and all. The husband and wife left immediately in the boat for home, while the disappointed Lothario remains among us, a fit subject for the attention and watchful-care of our police.

High Water At Quebec This Day

The ship John Gillis, which was wrecked at Matane, sometime since, on her voyage from Pictou to this port, with a cargo of coals, and lately sold for account of the underwriters, has been floated off and arrived here yesterday afternoon.

The Liverpool Mercury of June 18 gives a dreadful account of the ravages made by typhus among the Catholic Clergy of that town.

The Reverend Mr. Grayston, senior pastor of St. Patrick's who had caught the disease while celebrating a funeral service for the Rev. Mr. Gilbert, of St. Mary's was dead. The Rev. Mr. Haggar, and the Rev. Mr. O'Reiley, of St. Partick's, were both ill of fever, and there was no clergyman left to do the pastoral duties of that district. The Rev. Mr. Phillips, of Woolston, had also caught the infection.

To the Honorable the Members of the Legislative Council and Assembly of the City and District of Quebec.
Gentlemen,-As you are now at the Seat of Government, and as it is to be hoped the exertions making in Montreal will result in the immediate erection of a Fever Hospital, your fellow citizens expect from you your united energies in procuring for Quebec an Institution so much wanted.

When it is considered that Quebec and Montreal have to bear, in a measure, the burthen of the whole of the Lower Province in respect to indigent sick, it is to be hoped some public measures for permanent relief will be granted.
Z.

The Rev. Mr. Roy, curé of Charlesbourg, died yesterday morning of typhus fever, contracted in the discharge of his clerical duties at Grosse Isle. The Rev. Messrs. Campeau, curé of St. George, and Dorion, curé of Drummondville, left on Tuesday for the Quarantine Station. The Rev. Mr. Rousseau, vicar of St. Henry, had previously left for the same place.

We are sorry to learn, this morning that the Rev. Mr. Chaderton is not expected to survive.

Accounts from Montreal by the boat this morning, state that the disease had taken a favorable turn with the Rev. Mr. Willoughby, and hopes were entertained of his recovery.

Medical practitioners are wanted, we observe by the papers, to attend the sick emigrants at the Montreal sheds. The pay is stated at 25s. per day, with rations. Medical students are also required as assistants, at 12s. per day, with rations. Five Pounds per month, with board, is offered for nurses at the same place, and a respectable woman is required as head nurse, to whom liberal pay will be given.

We learn from the Pilot that on Saturday evening last, several carts filled with young children, were removed from the Sheds and brought into St. Catherine Street, St. Lawrence Suburbs. Nine of them died on the same night of their removal.

The Montreal Witness of Monday says it is asserted by the best medical authorities, that there is scarcely a street in the city, in which there are not two or three cases of fever, and that the only effectual means of stopping the disease would be the removal of all the sick at once.

Twenty German emigrants were drowned by the snagging of the steamer Star Spangled Banner, in the Mississippi river.

It is certain that the Telegraph from Portland to Halifax will be built. The distance is 550 miles, and those having control of the patent right have offered to build it for the sum of $110,000. This offer has been accepted by individuals who intend to retain entire controul[sic] of the line, and to use it for speculating purposes upon the arrival of foreign intelligence. The Company have very properly refused to construct it for them, without first offering it to the mercantile public, who are most immediately interested in the subject.

Three bells, weighing 45 cwt. Have been brought out by the bark "Lloyds," from London, for the new St. Rochs' Church. We understand they will be put up immediately.

High Water At Quebec This Day

There were ten vessels at the Quarantine yesterday. No new arrivals since our last report.

The steamer Lumber Merchant arrived from Montreal yesterday with five canal barges in tow, all deeply laden with flour, &c.

The steamer Queen came up from Grosse Isle last night, full of emigrants, and proceeded for Montreal immediately.

The steamer St. George arrived from Montreal yesterday with the ship Araminta, bark Peruvian and two barges in tow.

The steamship St. George left for Grosse Isle this morning.

The wreck of the John Geddie, and not John Gillis, as mentioned in our last, is now alongside of the Napoleon Wharf.

Launch.-Yesterday morning, T.C. Lee, Esq., safely launched, from his ship-yard, at St. Roch, the splendid new bark Jenny Lind, of 475 tons.

The steamship St. George returned from Grosse Isle last night.

Blackley, J.W. Blackley, Jr., Cincinnati, Ohio; Mrs. S.W. Mason, Mr. C. H. Mason, New York; F.W. Bostwick, Montreal.

Died
Captain Justin Freniere, of the Steamer "Canada," died at Lachenaie, on the 6^th inst., of fever, contracted on board his boat while conveying passengers from Grosse Isle to Montreal. He leaves a wife and several young children.

Ocean Steam Navigation
During the present month five steamships will leave Europe for America; viz.:-the Cunard steamers of the 4^th and 19^th; the American steamer Washington, from Southampton on the 10^th; French steamer Philadelphia, from Cherbourg on the 12th; and the new steamship Guadalquiver, from Liverpool, on the 20th.

By yesterday's mail, which arrived shortly after our paper had gone to press, we received intelligence of the death of the Rev. Mr. Willoughby, at Montreal, on Thursday. The Rev. Mr. Richard, of the Montreal Seminary and another of the Gray Nuns, are also dead. The death of Mr. Richard was erroneously reported, a few days since.

In this city, Mr. Samuel Ashworth, of the firm of Ashworth & co., Hatters, died yesterday of the typhus fever, contracted, we understand, through an emigrant, who had been taken into the house as a servant. Several other members of the family have also been infected.

From yesterday's Canadien we learn, that a poor woman in St. Vallier's suburbs, actuated by a sentiment of charity, took into her family an Irish orphan, whom she treated as one of her own. After a few days the child feel sick of typhus, and received from its adopted mother the most attentive care. The child recovered; but its benevolent guardian was infected with the disease, under which she sank, leaving behind her nine orphans. She was interred in the burial ground at St. Rochs on Thursday. Into another Canadian house in the same suburbs, two emigrant orphans had been received, who likewise became sick, and have communicated the fever to the children of the family, who are dangerously ill.

The Rev. Mr. Torrance, we learned yesterday, was very ill, having passed a restless night.

The Hon. Mr. Cameron arrived by the steamer from Montreal yesterday morning and proceeded, immediately, down to Grosse Isle. The Courier, with reference to the object of his mission, hazards the very probable supposition, that he goes with the intention of making a personal inspection of the state of affairs at the island,-and perhaps with a view to ascertain whether that place cannot be made a sufficiently efficient quarantine station, without the necessity of another below Montreal.

[From our Montreal Correspondent.]
"Montreal, July 16, 1847.
"Dr. McGale, one of the Assistant Physicians attending on the sick in the Emigrant Hospitals at St. Ann's Common, expired this day from the result of fever, contracted in devotion to his arduous duties for the relief of those immediately suffering, and the general protection of public health. He leaves a widow and a large family of children, entirely destitute.

"The funeral of the late Mr. Willoughby took place this afternoon.

"A public meeting was held on Monday last, in the Presbyterian church: the object of this meeting was for the purpose of allowing the citizens of Montreal an opportunity of expressing their opinion on the subject of the University Bill now before the House. The meeting was numerously attended: the principal speakers on this occasion were Messrs. Hincks, Malcolm Cameron, Geo. Brown (of the Globe), Rev. Mr. Cordner, Taylor, Cramp, who, in turn, condemned the proposed scheme as being one which would for ever destroy the hope so long entertained, apparently until now, of securing for the youth of Canada West, a high scientific and literary educational institution, not inferior to the great Universities of Europe.

"Yesterday, the sick at the Emigrant Sheds numbered 1,500, deaths 23-which is, I am happy to say, a decrease compared with several days previous."
