Loss of the brig Endeavour, Forsyth, of South Shields
This vessel in 10 days from this port went ashore in a fog on
the 27th July, at Mechigan, near Fortune Bay in the Island
of Newfoundland.— Captain
and crew are saved, but the vessel, it is stated, will not
be got off. Captain Forsyth, had landed at Mechigan and it was
hoped would be able to save part of the cargo and materials.
The cargo consisted chiefly of ashes and timber. The vessel was
bound to London, and owned by Mr. Richard Hunter, of South Shields.
Cleared at Halifax, Providence, Sire, for Quebec, also brig Halifax,
Whittin, for Quebec. Schooner President, and brig Sir
James Kempt,
at Halifax from Quebec in 10 days.
The Alexander, Marshall,
hence at Liverpool, July 31st, in 36 days. Edward Coiston,
hence at Bristol, 27th July. Spoken in long. 12, ship Benjamin
and Mary, hence in 25 days.
The Martha, reports that the Columbus went on shore on Petit
Mittis Point on the night of the 8th, and saw her in the same situation
two days after. It is however believed, from her resting on a hard
sandy bottom, she will be got off the next high tides, without sustaining
any material injury. Captain Milburn, of the Martha,
has also furnished the following:—
September 4, at 11 A.M. saw a wreck on the lee bow, with nothing
standing above water, but the bowsprit and quarter boards, bore
down upon it, and ascertained it to be the Rebecca,
of St. John, New Brunswick, appeared to have been a schooner
; the quarter
and main decks were gone, and forecastle and deck rising and
falling
with the waves of the sea. She was stove down to the floor-head
in the starboard side, as if some vessel had struck her ; there
was several casks in the bottom of the hold that lay fast, some
iron and others wooden hooped ; the quarter boards on the larboard
side were fast, with the exception of one, bulwarks on both sides
were entire, likewise the head, but everything swept away in
midships ; the windlass stood fast, paint quite fresh (black
with two white streaks) the rudder also fast, tiller gone, and
when left she was in lat. 48, 51 N. and 38 miles S.E.E. per compass
from the south point of Anticosti.
The Emerald saw the Columbus on Saturday last, and was within
a quarter mile of her. They were busily employed lighting her.

A Jolly Boat with "Thisbe of Liverpool," on the stern, was picked
up by the Margaret Ann, arrived at Miramichi, in long. 36. The
boat was bottom up. This vessel, it is statedbsailed from Liverpool
in April last with a very valuable cargo for Montreal, and has
not since been heard of.
The wreck mentioned
in Friday's Supplement as having been fallen in with by the Martha, is supposed
to be the Rebecca, Squires, which was lately upset in a squall
at Bay des Chaleurs, and owing to the wind freshening was abandoned.
No lives were lost.
The total number of vessels which have cleared out from this
port since the opening of the navigation amounts to 464, in
which is included those built in the country this season, and
others, sime of which have made two and three trips, 501 vessels
have arrived from sea during the same period, and about sixty
remain in port, loading, &c. |
Amount of Tonnage to this date, — 124,743 — Settlers,
6,400 |
Amount of Tonnage ditto, last year — 101,093 — Settlers,
9,774 |
The Trusty saw the Columbus on
Sunday the 12th instant with her head to the westward, and apparently
afloat— The bark Europe further
states that she saw her the same day, at 6 P.M. with all sail set,
standing down the river ; wind blowing strong from the westward.
It appears that after lighting her a little she floated into deep
water. From the time she remained on shore, it is not possible that
much of her cargo could have been removed. The reports respecting
great quantities of timber and deals having been seen afloat, are,
it is believed, without foundation.
Murder:— On Monday evening a Mr. Tarbox of Prescott,
U.C. having ferried from the American side of the St. Lawrence, a
boat load of chairs, was accused of smuggling them by Mr. Hamilton
the Deputy Collector of Presott, or otherwise exasperated, which
brought on an altercation, followed by blows. During the scuffle,
Mr. Hamilton cut Mr. Tarbox with a knife, on the neck, in such a
manner as to separate the jugular vein [sic] & cause his immediate
death. It seems to be a question, whether Hamilton returned to the
house for the knife, or whether he had it with him when the affray
began. What makes this event more deplorable, is the fact that Tarbox
had a permit for bringing the chairs into the province, consequently,
any difficulty was unnecessary. Hamilton
has been lodged in the gaol at Prescott, to await trial.
Both he and the deceased were married men. We give this as we heard
it.— Canadian Times |

Brockville, September 27th:
Murder,— Henry Hamilton was committed to the Jail
of this District, on Tuesday last, charged with the murder of Samuel
Tarbox of Prescott, who has for a considerable time acted as
Ferryman between Prescott and Ogdensburgh. The circumstances of this
melancholy affair as we have heard them are as follows:— It
seems Hamilton had been to Ogdensburgh & bargained for some chairs
to be sent to Prescott for him ; the person with whom he made the
agreement being doubtful about getting his pay, took the chairs himself
across to Prescott, and after having entered them at the Customs
House left them in custody of Mrs. Tarbox (Tarbox being then absent)
with instructions not to let them go out of her possession until
Hamilton should have paid her the amount demanded for them. Shortly
after Hamilton called for the chairs, Mrs. Tarbox refused to give
them up until he should have paid the sum required, which he refused
to do, and swore he would have them, and as he was Deputy Customs
House Officer would seize them as smuggled property, and accordingly
forcibly took the chairs away. In the evening when Tarbox came home
his wife informed him of the affair he went immediately in quest
of Hamilton to have the matter arranged, and met with him in the
street ; a quarrel ensued ; after some hard words had passed, Hamilton
left Tarbox, and went to his saddler's shop, but shortly returned,
and the quarrel was renewed, when Hamilton told Tarbox that he was
armed, and requested him to desist from abusing him, but Tarbox continued
speaking to him. Hamilton then said he would hear it no longer and
made a pass at him, which Tarbox received in the hand which was severely
cut, and he retreated but was followed up by Hamilton who continued
to strike at him in which Tarbox was again cut in the hand and breast,
and as he was stooping he received the fatal blow in the neck which
having entered deep and severed one of the large blood vessels, he
fell and shortly expired. The instrument used by Hamilton is supposed
to have been a saddler's round knife, used by them for cutting leather
; it being dusk the by-standers could not distinctly discern what
it was & it has yet not been found. An inquest was held on the body
of Tarbox, and from the evidence adduced to the Jury, they were under
the necessity of giving a verdict of "Wilful Murder." |

On Friday morning last the Steam Boat Richelieu in
her passage from Quebec to this port, was ran foul of by the New
Swiftsure, and received some damage. As we understand this
circumstance will become an object of legal investigation, we forbear
making any comments on the information we have received which is
of a doubtful character on both sides relative to the transaction.
The truth however may be brought out on evidence, and we shall then
lay a statement of the affair before the public. |

remaining vessels which are expected this season, if is probable will
arrive during the ensuing week. Several vessels are reported to be

Welland Canal.— W.H. Merritt, Esq.
one of the Directors of the Welland Canal Company, has been authorised
to go to New York, for the purpose of disposing some shares in
that establishment ; the act of the legislature of Upper Canada,
incorporating the Company, allowing foreigners to become stock
holders. We saw a letter from this gentleman to a friend here,
stating that he had succeeded in disposing of stock in New York
to the amount of 50 thousand dollars. This with the same already
subscribed in Canada will enable the Directors to progress with
the work, and overcome all the difficulties which have been placed
in their way.
Although we are pleased with the success which Mr. Merritt has
met with, yet we regret the necessity which existed for raising
supplies out of the country, to accomplish and object which is
so well calculated to produce solid advantages to these provinces
; however, it is gratifying to understand that the work will be
pursued with spirit, and that [—] will be effected by the
praiseworthy efforts of a few per[—]ing characters who will
be entitled to the thanks, and gratitude of prosperity. |

Casualty.— Andrew
McDonald, a [—] waiter, was unfortunately drowned from off
Mr. Atkinson's Wharf on Thursday last. He was a discharged soldier,
a pensioner, and bore an excellent character, we understand that
he has left a wife and three children, who were solely dependent
upon him for support, and who are reduced to great distress by his
untimely death. — Mercury. Hayti.— Emigration
to Hayti (says the National Advocate) is progressing with
unexampled rapidity ; it is not a mere experiment, but vessel after
vessel is dispatched. It is expected that the ship Concordia will
sail this day, with 160 coloured persons of both sexes. The Post says,
that "six vessels at Philadelphia, one at Port Elizabeth, one
at Alexandria, and several others at Baltimore, are on the eve of
sailing
for the same destination. It is calculated that between 3 and 4000
of these persons will leave the United States within a few days,
and that every fortnight additional numbers will be shipped off under
the direction of President Boyer's agent, who pays the expense of
their transmission, by authority of the Haytian government. |
|
EMIGRATION IN CANADA |
We have the great pleasure in communicating
satisfactory accounts with which we have been favoured, from
the interesting settlement of Lanark, in Upper Canada. Our enterprising
countrymen enjoy excellent health. They are proceeding successfully
in clearing their land and accumulating stock ; though by injudicious
choice on the part of the Government surveyor, the land had not
turned out so well as was expected, being in many places sandy
and rocky, and by no means so fertile as the ground generally
is in that country ; yet are the settlers pleased with the return.
Each has from eight to fifteen acres in cultivation ; and many
of them have built new houses and appropriated the original huts
to their cattle. They have set up a school, which has already
thirty-four scholars ; and their Minister has announced a newspaper.
A grist-mill has been erected by Mr. Bower.
The settlers, who, as was formerly noticed,
abandoned their possessions, and went to work in the United States,
had after a few months' trial, generally come back. Their wages,
though high, were paid in the troublesome shape of goods ; for
which however, they got a ready market on their return. Cattle
thrive so well that many of the settlers, who brought only one
cow, have seven or eight young or old. They have calves two years
old. They are attended with very little trouble, living mostly
on the leaves and shoots of trees. As the horses in the English
forest bruise the whins with their feet to save their mouths
from prickles, and as the sheep in the moors of Scotland draw
up the ling that they may get at the soft white stalk enclosed
by the hard under-hose, so the cows of Canada bite through small
trees to bring within their reach the tender shoots ; and when
the trees are too thick to be thus cut, the sagacious animals
bend them down with their necks, and push along till they reach
the tops. They are little subject to dispemper ; but in two or
three instances have been killed by the fall of trees. They give
from five to six Scottish pints of rich milk a day ; which churned
will yield 16 oz. of butter. In size they about equal to the
cows of this country and sell from £4 to £5 each.
A pair of oxen will cost from £15 to £20. They are only
beasts of burden. No horses have yet been introduced. Now that
some extent of land is cleared, they are adding sheep to their
stock. The sheep are finely wooled ; and will be very beneficial
to the fireside manufactures. Pigs and poultry thrive exceedingly,
and find the most of their own food during summer.— Most
rye, pease and potatoes, are the surest crops, and are of the
best quality. Flax grows luxuriently. Turnips in general are
good, but they sometimes fail. Indian corn is also uncertain,
from being occasionally too late. Pumpkins are easily cultivated,
and are admirable food for cattle. Melons are raised without
trouble, and are eargerly devoured by the settlers in hot weather.
All the culinary vegetables flourish in gardens. The female part
of the colony grumbled at the log-huts and the cold weather,
but since their husbands are in circumstances to build good houses,
almost every trace of dissatisfaction has vanished. A correspondent,
(Mr. James Lindsay) who has a good deal more land in
cultivation than the average, says, "the people are now
making themselves comfortable. They have this year put up many
new houses
and barns ; and are going on with more. They are all convinced
how much better they are off here than they were in Scotland.
In place of one week's provision for their family, they now have
12 months of good flour, and all other comforts of life, and
many of the luxuries, with little trouble." Another correspondent
we will quote by name — Mr. John McLachlan — who
had the merit of exposing the system of espionage and investigation
practised in times, happily for the poor workman, now past.
"This settlement is improving fast. As assessor I had an
opportunity of visiting every house in the west-half last season,
and I was well satisfied with the progress that had been made
; the people in general being comfortable and truely contented."
The writer, though his children are too young for work, has twelve
acres cleared.— A letter recently received by Mr. Lamond from Mr.
D. Young, late of Bathgate, is very favourable for the colony
: "Our climate is 10 deg. S. of that of Glasgow, and a few degrees
warmer ; however, at the warmest not intolerable, but very delightful
even at noon. The nights are generally very cool, and the dews
copiously abundant. Indeed the whole season though there is such
a similarity to the climate of Scotland, that, could a person
be removed from the one to the other asleep, little difference
could be observed. A few days after Christmas the frost gets
dreadfully severe in the night time ; but if clear, the sun has
as much influence, even then, as at home in the month of March.
Our severest weather is in January and February ; however, excepting
two or three days every ten or twelve, about nine or twelve days
in the whole winter, the temperature has been such that a person
could scarcely fell trees through the day in the woods with his
coat on, without much perspiration. From the 1st March till the
9th or 10th of April, the sun's influence melts a part of the
snow every day, till it entirely disappears. In the woods where
the sun's influence cannot reach, it lies till near the end of
April, when it disappears, even in the shade. The spring comes
on as sonn as the snow is off, and every thing springs delightfully
rapid. The buds open gradually ; and about 8th or 9th of May,
all is green. After the land is cleared its aspect is very like
that of lands in Scotland. Some tracks very level, some hilly,
some a strong black soil, some clay, some sandy, some rocky,
and some covered pretty thick with tumbling stones. We have a
very pure, healthful air—an almost unclouded sun—a
soil astonishingly grateful to the labours of industry. This
country is thickly intersected with delightful rivers and lakes,
stocked with fish, if we had time to catch them." —Glasgow

Dreadful Shipwreck |
A seaman named Francis Olford, belonging to Polperro,
has recently returned to his native place, having lost both
his
legs, and being otherwise in a pitiful state of distress. The
following account is given by this poor fellow of the cause
of his calamity :— On the 3rd of April, 1823, he sailed
from Plymouth, in the brig, Mountstone, Coleman,
master, bound for St. John's, Newfoundland. The crew consisted
of the master, Samuel Longmaid the mate, three seamen, Olford,
Cost and Dingle, and a cabin boy. They had
on board, beside Mr. Hodge, the owner of the vessel,
and his
son, a lad of about 17 years of age, Mr. Rothwell a
passenger. They had rather a favourable passage until the 7th
of May, when during the prevalence of a dense fog, and while
the vessel was sailing at the rate of eight knots an hour,
they struck against a body of ice that was level with the surface
of the water. The shock was so severe, that the vessel was
stove in, and after a vain attempt to stop the leak, they were
forced to get into the boat, without being able to save a morsel
of food, a drop of water, or an article of clothing but what
they had on, and push from the ship, which was rapidly sinking.
Soon after leaving the vessel she went down, and they proceeded
to make the best of their way towards the land, from which
they were then 300 miles distant. They continued to row for
three days, when being completely exhausted by fatigue, hunger,
thirst and cold, they were compelled to desist, and resigning
themselves to their fate, they allowed the boat to drive before
the sea. On the 5th day, Mr. Rothwell, the passenger, expired
; on the seventh day, young Hodge, the owner's son, died ;
his father, a few hours after, shared the same fate ; and was
speedily followed by Cost and Dingle, the two seamen, the mate,
and the boy, leaving only the master and Olford alive, but
reduced to the state of weakness. On the 17th of May, ten days
after quitting the Mountstone, they were observed
by a vessel belonging to Liverpool, on board of which they
were taken and treated with every attention their deplorable
state required. The next day they were landed about 100 miles
from St. John's where they obtained medical assistance. — In
consequence of his feet being frost-bitten whilst in the boat,
Olford had them amputated a little above the ankles. In the
month of October last, he was sent to St. John's to obtain
passage home ; whilst there, it was found necessary again to
amputate his legs a little below the knees. After recovering
from this second operation he was sent home, and has at length
reached his native place in the state already described.— West
Briton. 13th September. |

There has been no arrival from sea since Tuesday last. Several
vessels are yet expected ; some of which are known to have sailed in the early
part of September. Their non arrival is much to be regretted, on account of
the lateness of the season. The wind, which for some time past has, generally,
prevailed from the westward, is no doubt the principal cause of their not making
their appearance. There are yet upwards of fifty vessels in port, loading.
In which great activity is using in order to despatch them as early as possible. |

Quebec, Nov. 5.— The weather which has
been unsettled for some weeks past, yesterday assumed a very wintery appearance,
the wind
was
from
the eastward,
and a fall of snow commenced about noon which still continues ; this morning
many of the market people came to town in sleighs ; there is nearly six inches
of snow upon the level, but as it is very wet, and the wind veering to the
south, it will probably turn to rain. —Mercury

Steam Boat Accident.— The Steam Boat Montreal,
in her passage from Laprairie to this city (Montreal), yesterday, struck
on a projecting point
of the "Trois Roch," by which a leak was caused, that defied the exertions
of the pumps. She is now in this port, but will not be able to resume her
trips until repaired. As the Steam Boat navigation is increasing, and as
similar accidents oblige the proprietors to send the vessels injured to Quebec
for repairs ; we would suggest to the Commissioners of the Lachine Canal
the propriety, and expediency of forming a Dock, or Lock, at the confluence
of the Canal, where river craft and steam vessels might be repaired without
the trouble, risque, and expence of sending them to a distant place. |

of the Harmonites—that is, each person labouring in common for the benefit
of the whole, and possessing equal interests. The Harmonites, it is said, are
about to return to the state of Pennsylvania.

Accounts from below state that snow storms of Friday
and Saturday last were most tremendous, and had causes considerable damage
to several vessels bound
up and down the river, which has, unfortunately proved too correct. The Harlequin,
one of our regular traders expected some time past, is stated to be on shore
on Green Island close to the Light House, where she was driven in the gale
on Friday last. The schooner Marie Victoire, Lajoie, from Halifax for this
port is also wrecked near Point St. Valier. Several small craft, have, it
is said, gone down to the assistance of those vessels.
The brig Fisher, Kay, which sailed from
hence on the 31st ult. has returned. She lost both anchors and bowsprit off the
Brandy Pots on Saturday last. The Emma, Reid, from hence, had also suffered considerably.
She lost both masts &c. but succeeded in ridng out the gale.
The brig Anglim returned yesterday with
loss of an anchor, cable and bowsprit
; she reports having seen a brig at anchor in the traverse, which she took to
be the Mary & Jane, with loss of rudder and main topmast, and a signal of distress
flying.
The brig Maria, White, has also returned with the loss of anchors and cables.
The schooner William, Jackson, for Dublin, lying in the harbour, lost both her
anchors
yesterday, and carried away her gib-boom by being run foul of.
The schooner Seaflower, Baker, sailed
from St. John's, Newfoundland on the 24th of October, and arrived last Saturday
evening off Patrick's Hole, being a passage of only thirteen days. The Charlotte,
Chesney, for this port, sailed from St. John's on the same day as the Seaflower.
The Commerce, of Glasgow, was seen by the Royal
Charlotte off Cape Chat, 31st

. . . The weather has of yet, however, not been cold, and 20 vessels remain
in the river, of these, four or five are at Montreal or on their way down.
The wind was strong and favourable today for their proceeding to sea, and
7 or 8 sailed ; among them was the Rebecca, McKenzie, and Cherub, Rayside,
for Greenock.
The passengers in the Harlequin,
Hall, from London, have come up to Quebec, and confirm the reports in circulation
of her being ashore at Green Island. They state she struck on White Island
reef, Tuesday night, 2nd instant, and in getting off filled so rapidly,
to save the lives of the passengers and crew, she was run ashore at Green
Island, near the Light House, and that it is not probable that any of the
cargo can be saved undamaged. The vessel is a total wreck.
The following are the passengers in the Harlequin :— Mr.
Keagh, Mr. Miller, Honble. Mr. Gordon, 76th Regiment, Captain Teifer.
The brig Emma, Reed, for London,
which was dismasted on Sunday the 7th inst. at Hare Island, has been towed
into Kamouraska by a schooner, and
is now lying on the rocks with loss of masts, anchors and cables. Capt.
Reed, Mr. Lambly, Harbour Master, and two other persons went down this
morning to survey her. She was loaded by Mr. Samuel Adams, and had a full
cargo fo Deals.
The Union, after a passage of
60 days, havng sailed on the 8th September last from Liverpool, was announced
by a telegraphic report as on shore
on the south side of the Island of Orleans, near the Church of the Parish
of Saint Laurent, 10 miles below this port, on Tuesday afternoon last,
9th instant. Capt. Dysart has since come up to town. The Union had
lost both anchors and windlass in the late gale. We understand that she
has
a cargo of salt, &c. and that it is probable that she will not be got off
this fall.— Neilson's Gazette

As the resent advanced state of the season precludes the probability
of our having any more arrivals from sea, the following statement of the
number of vessels with their total burthen of tonnage since the opening
of the navigation, compared with that of last year, may not be considered
uninteresting : |
Nov. 15th 1823— 543 vessels — Tonnage,
131,820 |
Nov. 16th 1824— 600 vessels — Tonnage,
148,477 |
From the above statement it will be seen that the arrivals during the
past season, have exceeded those of 1823, by fifty-seven, giving an excess
in tonnage of 16,657, which considering the number of vessels lost in the
early part and during the navigation, is a fair increase to the trade of
this year. |
The number of settlers which have arrived this year is 6,515,
being less
than that of the last by 8,743.

The past season is the first of the use of a Steam Tow Boat on the St.
Lawrence ; a method of applying the power of steam to navigation only practised
within a couple of years in England, and we believe, unknown any where
else. It promises to have such material effects on the navigation of this
river, that it may prove of interest to have the following statement, which
may be relied upon. |
The Hercules has made during the season twenty-six
trips, in each of which we include her going and returning to this port,
and has also towed the Columbus to Bic, 160 miles below. The average
of her passages between the two ports was 2½ days, (that by sails
is stated at 17) and she towed upwards of 2 ships, 32 brigs and 12 schooners
and downwards 18 brigs ; as she had two schooners employed for the season,
one of those always attended her, and sometimes both. In one trip downwards
she towed three brigs and three schooners, and in another three brigs
and two schooners—although it is thought that she towed vessels
at too low a price, yet she is stated to have fully paid her expenses,
and the gentlemen engaged in her introduction, to have met with no loss
on this first trial, which is a promising commencement. Her consumption
of fuel was about 2500 cords of wood and 200 chaldrons of coal. About
six weeks ago she was neatly fitted up, so as to accomodate 24 passengers.— Neilson's

Elevation :— A few evenings since,
an inhabitant of a neighbouring village returning from an excursion
to this town, and happening to be vino
ciboque gravalus, in English, with his skin full of gin, fell
fast asleep in his chaise. While enjoying nature's sweet balm,
his horse, attempting to turn, backed the wheels off one side of
a bridge twenty feet high. But mark, how fortune favours the sleepy
! The chaise lodged in the top of a young hemlock that stood by
the bridge ; the faithful steed maintained his ground, and our
hero's slumbers were not disturbed till morning, when he clambered
carefully out of his leafy couch, and called his nearest neighbour
to help him get his chaise out of the tree top.—Intell.
|
Close of Navigation :— We believe that, with the exception of the Laprairie,
all other Steam Boats have been laid up in their winter quarters : The former
left this place on Monday evening for Quebec, on her last trip ; she will return
here in a few days, and then retire for the winter. |
