filmed within their binding, making one side of some entries, unreadable, or
only partly legible. This can lead to errors in the interpretation of the entry
or missed entries. ) Be aware that there may be two or more ships of the same
name, from the same, or different ports, during the same year. A few ships also

Melancholy Accident:— On Friday last as the Steam Boat
which plies between Point Fortune and Hull was on her way down, Mr. Henry
Francis,
the Engineer, was caught by the foot in the Engine, and drawn in nearly to the
middle of his body, which was mangled in such a way to cause his death in six
hours afterwards. His remains were brought to this City, and interred in the
English burying ground on Monday last. The deceased has left an affectionate
wife (to whom he had been married only six months) to lament his untimely fate. |

The timber ship Columbus, was to sail
from Deal on the 21st of April, for St.
John, N.B. She is commanded by Captain Monroe, and active and experienced seaman
who has with him a crew of 70 men, on the same wages that are paid to the sailor
of other ships trading to North America. She has a steam engine fitted on deck,
for the purpose of heaving in and out her cargo and for working two extra iron
pumps, if at any time she should become leaky.

The George Provost was to leave London for Montreal early in May.
On the 2nd inst. the main flue of the Steam Boat Legislator,
which plies between
New York and New Brunswick [of
the
New York & Philadelphia Line], burst, which
caused
the
instant
death
on
one man, (the Cook) [Francis Raney] and scalded a number of the passengers, two
of
whom
died
an hour
after
having been carried in the Hospital. A young lady was so much frightened that
she jumped overboard, but was fortunately rescued. The Editor of the Commercial
Advertiser, makes the following remark at the conclusion of his statement of
this accident, "we hope the Common Council will prohibit high pressure boats
with Iron boilers from using any of our docks and slips." A boy was found dead
in the boiler, into which he had fallen on attempting to escape.
From the United States:—
Strange Emigration:— On Sunday last, between twenty and
thirty large waggons, loaded down with Emigrants and their families, passed through
Geneva on their way westward. Their exterior carried the appearance of wealthy
and respected Farmers. Upon enquiry they informed the editor they were from Pennsylvania,
and that they were on their way to Canada ! There was no opportunity for further
enquiry, as to the cause of this extraordinary emigration. But what is the reason
of it ? Have not our Government Land enough. Why then do they suffer the colonial
governments thus to inveigle the back-bone and sinew of our country — the
hardy yeomanry, into their Province ? It was really an unpleasant sight, thus
to observe enough of our healthy yeomanry to have peopled a whole town in Ohio
or Michigan, turning their backs upon their own free country to settle in the
dominions of a King. — Geneva Palladium May 25th
[these were some of the Pennsylvania-Deutsch who migrated to Waterloo area
of Ontario 1807-1830]

The following is an extract from a paper published in the State of Maine :— "We
have been informed, that in the Province of New Brunswick, 170 vessels are to
be built this year. Labouring men are greatly in demand. The business of the
city of St. John is said to be remarkably brisk — and trade never more
prosperous."
A new ship called Aid, of upwards of 300 tons, and owned by
Captain Alder, was launched on Saturday, from a new ship yard above the Bridge
over St. Charles. Some difficulty was experienced in passing her through the
draw bridge, and she reamined on shore above the bridge 48 hours. She is, we
understand, built upon Mr. Annesly's plan of ship building ; the hull being held
together nearly like the staves of a common barrel.
The large ship built at the Island of Orleans on the same slip as the Columbus
is to be launched tomorrow the 16th inst. — Mercury
Montreal:—
A number of the citizens of Montreal embarked here yesterday, in the Steam Boat
New Swiftsure for Quebec, to witness the Launch of the large ship which is to
take place there tomorrow. (the Baron
Renfrew)
We understand that the new Steam Boat St. Lawrence, lately launched at Lachine,
commenced running between that place and the Cascades, and in sailing and accomodations
she fully answers every expectation which had been formed of her. This boat is
likely to be very useful in towing boats and other river craft across Lake St.
Louis, having already towed six boats at one time against a strong head-wind. |

On Thursday last, 568 Irish Emigrants, including women
and children, arrived here [Montreal] in the Lady
Sherbrooke Steam
Boat and proceeded
on their route to Upper Canada yesterday morning. These are the first of the
2000 for whom Governemnt have made arrangements in this country ;
they are principally from the south of Ireland and are, we understand,
to be located in the neighbourhood of the Rice Lake, near the lately
settled townships in rear of Smiths Creek. They are accompanied
by two medical men, who, we are informed also act in the capacity
of superintendents. By habits of industry and good conduct these
people may, under the fostering protection of the Government, become
comparitively independent, in a country where local prejudices, oppresive
rents, and precarious employment do not interfere to prevent their
enjoying that portion of competence
which renders the mind at ease, and affords a prospect of comfort to the rising
generation, for whose future welfare no provision could be made in
the country of their ancestors.

Passengers:—

Regt., Mrs. Kennedy and two children ; Lieut. Blood, 68th Regt. ; Drs. Grasset
and Blackwood, Major Deighton, Captain McKenzie, R.N. ; Lieut. Poynter, R.A.
; Messrs, Hale, Tweedie, Gresler, and Robert Cairns junior ; Mr. Keys, Purveyors
Department ; and about 100 invalids belonging to different regiments in the Canadas.
Emigration:—
Another cargo of Emigrants arrived here [Montreal] on in the New
Swiftsure on Saturday
consisting of 145 men, 126 women, and 197 children, under the care of the Government
; they proceeded to the place of their destination in Upper Canada, accompanied
by two medical gentlemen. There were a number of other Emigrants who arrived
at the same time, but as they do not form a part of those for whom provision
has been made by the colonial department, they will of course be obliged to pursue
their course in the best manner they can.
For some time these people must bear many hardships ; the change of climate,
change of provision, and commencement of an employment as widely different from
that which they have been accustomed to, but which essentially necessary to their
future existence, will all bear heavy upon them in the first instance ; they
have
however, a cheering prospect before them, for by industry and perseverance, they
will be enabled
to realize the means of a comfortable living.—
The remainder
of the Irish Emigrants, to be forwarded to lands in Canada at Government expence,
may be expected shortly, and if the plan adopted for their settlement be pursued
to the end, there can be no doubt of its being attended with the most salutary
effects.
The Steam Packet St. Andrews left Lachine for the Ottawa on
Sunday last. When she arrived at St. Anns, the necessary observations of the
rapids
were taken,
and the bouys were placed. This operation delayed her until Tuesday morning.
She then ascended the rapids in 25 minutes, and arrived at Point Fortune early
in the afternoon ; the day following she left St. Andrews at half-past nine o'clock,
A.M. and arrived at Lachine at two o'clock the same day, from whence she has
again started with a number of passengers.—
For the present she is to make three trips per week, but as soon as circumstances
permit, she is to ascend to Point Fortune and return in the same day. While
on her way up, she had in tow a boat of 16 oars, in which was Sir Peregrine Maitland
; and yesterday she took a Durham Boat and a Bateaux, the wind on both occasions,
not allowing them to proceed..— Spectator
Quebec, June 18th |
The Large Ship (the Baron Renfrew) |
We are sorry to state that the attempt to Launch the Large Ship this
morning, at the Island of Orleans, failed ; at about 40 minutes before
eight o'clock, she was put in motion and after gliding slowly along the
ways a little more than half her own length, from the cradle giving way,
or from some other cause, which we have not heard explained, she settled
on the ways ; several attempts were made, to set her again in motion by
hawsers from the Hercules and Laprairie Steam-boats,
but without effect, the hawsers from the first boat snapping without in
the least moving the
ponderous mass. We understand however, her case is not considered desperate,
and that it is hoped she may be got off at the evening flood, as she is
still upon her ways and has sustained no visable injury. The concourse
of spectators was perhaps less numerous than at the launch of the Columbus,
the steam-boats were generally crowded with passengers, the Military bands
attended, and the river was thronged with boats ; a little after nine,
the company began to arrive in town, evidently chagrined at the unfortunate
failure, not on account of their own disappointment, but in consideration
of the anxiety which the builder and the proprietors must endure whilst
the vessel remains in this state.— Mercury |

Settlers.— Upwards of 1000 Settlers were brought to this port [Montreal]
yesterday by the Steam Boats Lady Sherbrooke and LaPrairie.
The large Ship at the Island has not yet been got off ; the cause of her stopping,
however, being now ascertained, preparations are making by lowering her ways,
to effect her launch the next high tides ; when, there is no doubt, she will
be safely put into her destined element.
Stolen or Strayed, about two days
ago, a Bull Terrier, large head, stout built, shaggy haired, and of a whitey
brown colour, answers to the name of Paddy. Whoever will
give such information as to lead to the discovery of the said dog will
be liberally rewarded, by applying at the office of this paper. — Montreal,

junior, aged 20 [died at sea on the passage to Liverpool],
and Birnie ; in the Amethyst for London, Mrs. Snell, Mrs. Williams
and family, and Mr. & Mrs. Thompson.
The number of arrivals since the opening of navigation
is 310
total tonnage 80,846
settlers 4412
206 vessels have loaded and cleared out within the same time |
The difference of the present and last season in shipping
and tonnage is not considerable
the arrivals, at the same period, was 291
tonnage 76,437
settlers 2370, less by one half this season |
It is said that 160 vessels had arrived at Miramichi on 10th May. There
was a scarcity of timber owing to the lowness of the water in the rivers. |
The Mary and Betty, Porteous, and Prince
of Wales, Harbour, were to leave Dublin for Quebec with passengers about the
end of May ; the ship Rodger Sewart, was loading at Greenock on the 10th for
this port, and expected to sail about the 20th May ; the brig Messenger, Nixon,
from Antigua for Quebec, with rum and sugar arrived at Halifax on the 9th June.
. . . . A letter from Richibucto of the 16th
May, states that the brig William, of Whitehaven, from Scotland, with a cargo
of dry goods, and several passengers, bound to that place, had been totally lost
amongst the ice in the Gulf ; the crew and passengers, after being three days
in the boats, during which one of the latter died, were picked up by a brig and
carried to Miramichi.
The Baron of Renfrew:— We
are happy to announce
that the stupendous Vessel was safely launched this day at a little after 1 o'clock — The
short notice given of the intention of making the attempt, prevented many from
being near spectators, of its completion ; the greater part of the curious, were
obliged to content thenselves with a view from the Batteries.
The Master of the Jane from Newfoundland has
reported at the Post Office, that a dreadful conflagration had taken place at
St. John's in that Island, but we have not learnt the particulars.
London Female Fashions for May |
Evening Dress:—
A dress of crape (crepe) over white satin ; the body is low, and brought
in folds from the shoulders to the front of the bust, which is confined
by a loop of blue satin ; the sleeves are short and full, surmounted
on the shoulder by satin, brought in points and confined to a band round
the arm, of the same colour. The skirt is fancifully ornamented with
pipings of blue satin on the right side, and carried round the lower
part of the dress the hem is finished by a broad hem of satin, surmounted
by puffings of gauze confined by satin, brought in points similar to
the sleeve.
Walking Dress:—
A pelisse of mazarine blue silk, made right to the form, and trimmed round the
shoulders and back with raised welts, confined, at separate distances, by knots
of the same, down the front of the skirt, gradually inclining towards bottom,
which is finished by a puffing of silk. The hat is of black velvet, surmounted
by a rich plume of uncurled feathers. Li—ick gloves, and black kid shoes. |
Head Dress:— The present style of wearing the hair is
to divide on the left side, bringing the fullness in front ; the curls
not so large as last month. The long hair is elegantly drest in bows, mingled
with roses, or various flowers. Ringlets are more worn this month than
they have been this season. The head dress is not drest high, but spreading
very much over the head. |

New Steam Boat:—
The Canadian lately built at Laprairie, intended to
ply between that place and this city [Montreal], is now nearly
finished, and will be put into operation in a few days. The model of
the hull is similar to the Laprairie Steam Boat. Her
engine is made upon an improved principle, and is described as combining
strength with simplicity and usefulness. The great attention which
has been paid to every part of this Boat, during her building, the
neatness of the Cabin, and the general accomodations which she will
possess, will render her more than commonly agreeable to parties of
pleasure, or others, whose business requires them to pass between this
and Laprairie.— The facility of crossing the river now afforded
by the Steam Boats, and the prices demanded for the passage of the
Market people being so low, the former disadvantages arising from distance,
and other dangerous modes of conveyance are superceded and the more
close connection of town and country is rendered highly advantageous
to both, by the enterprising and public spirit of the proprietor J.M.
Raymond Esquire, to whom much credit is due. As both the Canadian and
Montreal Steam Boats, belonging to Mr. Raymond, the public will not
be annoyed by the unpleasant consequences which frequently arise from
an overtained rivalry. |

Passengers:—
In the Cherub, for Greenock, Messrs. Samuel and William Neilson,
Mrs, Torrance and two daughters.
The number of vessels laid down at the different ship-yards at this port, within
a few weeks past amount to 17, and will average from 250 to 300 tons. This is
a total not far short of the number built here last winter, and it is stated
that timber, in considerable quantities, is preparing for carrying on this branch
of business to a much greater extent at the close of the season.
A considerable number of the ships arrived this year have been greatly delayed
in making the return voyage for want of sailors, a part of their men (and in
some cases the whole) having deserted during the time of loading. The cause may
be partly attributed to the very high wages given, £9 per month, or £15
for the run being commonly asked, and not frequently received, for sailors capable
only of duty before the mast.
New York, June 28:—
Prince Murat [Achillies Murat, nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte], who arrived
at the Quarantine Ground in the brig Hesper, reached the city yesterday morning.
He is an elegant young man apparently about 21 years of age. After a short stay
with his uncle Bonaparte at Bordentown, he intends, we understand, to visit his
elder brother in Florida, who is cultivating a large tract of land at that place. |

Young and Miss Young. Captain Scott and Master Goudie.
The ship John Barry, with settlers, reported at hand, has been
ashore on B—nitis
Point, but got off without injury— the passengers are safe.
Navigation of the St. Lawrence:—
By a late arrangement by the proprietors of the Steam Boats St. Andrews and Perseverence,
which ply between LaChine and Point Fortune, greater facilty is acquired in descending
and ascending the River than has heretofore been the case ; as one boat arrives
at the foot of the Vaudreuil Rapids, where she delivers her freight nad passengers
to the other, which arrives within 150 feet of the one from LaChine ; thus avoiding
the danger and delay arising from the rapids—such an arrangement will be
very advantageous to the public, as by alternately moving from one Boat to the
other, the distance between Point Fortune and LaChine can be run up and down
in the same day. |

daughters. Mrs. James Torrance, late of Kingston, and Mrs. Smith.
The Master of the John Barry, arrived at this port on Wednesday
last, reports that the day before he sailed, a vessel arrived at Cork with the
crew of the large ship Columbus, she having foundered at sea.
The brig Saguenay, belonging to Quebec, supposed to have been
lost last winter
on the Coast of America, has since been heard of. She was driven out to sea,
as stated in the American newspapers, but weathered the gale and subsequently
got into port, from whence she has since sailed for Demerara, and is daily expected
at Quebec.

vessel foundered in lat. 31, 20 long 27.
Halifax, 20th June:—
The brig Trusty, Captain Finlay, sailed this morning for Calcutta,
she
is
of the first class, and is uncommonly well equipped ; we anxiously hope this
experiment
of our merchants
will prove highly successful. Hence at Halifax, Victory, Earnest,
14 days.
Accident:—
On Sunday, a young man named James Venter, a native of Scotland, and
an apprentice
on board the brig Janet, of Kilkaldy, while bathing near the
little island off the Harbour of this city, was unfortunately drowned, although
a good swimmer. . . . . |

On Sunday night the wind shifted to the N.E. and has since blown a good breeze
from that quarter. A number of vessels have come up, among which it is gratifying
to notice the arrival of the Moffat and Juliana, East-Indiamen, from Canton,
with Cargoes of tea, spices, &c. ; they are the first vessels of their description
which have ever come to this port direct from the East-Indies. His M.S. Orestes,
one of the trail [trial ?] Sloops, also arrived this day with specie for the
Government.
The bark George, arrived yesterday from bristol, states that
no account of the
loss of the Columbia had been received there on the 28th, the
day before she sailed. Captain Dales of the brig Nelly, arrived
this morning from Portsmouth, however, confirms the report ; he read an account
of in an English paper ; she
sprung a leak in long. 14, and an accident occurring to her engine, it became
impossible to keep her free ; she foundered shortly after the crew abandoned
here, who were all safely picked up and arrived at Cork as stated by the Master
of the John Barry.
Accident:—
Yesterday afternoon as a Horse and cart were conveying baggage on board
the Steam Boat Laprairie the horse became restive in going down the hill and
plunging with ungovernable fury went into the River, where he was drowned. The
baggage was fortunately but with difficulty saved.
Coroner's Inquest:—
On Wednesday last an inquest was held on the body of John Kilbreth,
a carter who with his horse was drowned that morning, opposite the Neptune Inn.
The deceased was leading his horse into the river to drink, when he got beyond
his depth, and by endeavouring to save his horse both were unfortunately drowned.
The body of the man was taken out of the water a few minutes after, and removed
to the Neptune Inn, where all efforts to restore animation proved useless. The
verdict of the just was:—"Accidental death by drowning."— Herald
Communication |
The New Ferry:—
We have been informed by some persons who have repeatedly passed in
the Steam Boat William Annesley, to Isle-a-la-Pierre,
which is now connected with the Shore opposite to Montreal, by a
bridge, uniting
solidity and convenience, that of all the ferries which serve for
an entrance into this city from the southern bank of our noble river,
the new ferry has most decidedly the preference. Nothing marks the
truth of this assertation more than the number of persons who already
frequent it, and who, one and all, express the greatest satisfaction
at the arrangements made for the accomodation of the public. To cross
from the city takes about fifteen minutes, and to return from Isle-a-la-Pierre
to the city, about seven minutes.
The William Annesley traverses at present fourteen
times in a day, between five in the morning and six in the evening
; but she is capable
of going twenty times ; making ten trips going and returning. There
is already a decent Canadian Tavern in the projected village on the
other side of the river, and the buildings belonging to Mrs. Solomon,
offer simple room and an excellent situation for the commodious Inn
; these buildings will without doubt, shortly be opened for the accomodation
of the public.
A shed sixty feet long is erecting on the Island under which the
country people coming to market may leave their horses and carts
in security.
|
England:—
Nearly all the journeymen Tailors in London struck on Monday — their demand
being that no work should be sent out to be done by women.
There are strange tastes in England. One rich man has lately set about collecting
the halters in which malefactors have been hung — which ropes he arranges
in festoons, labeled with the names of the sufferers. |

Passengers:— Richard Rush, late Ambassador at the Court of
St. James, and family ; J. Hoffman, daughter and governess ; Mrs. Brown and
daughter ; Miss Atkinson and maid, and Rev. J. West, of England ; W.A. Cochran,
of Quebec ; C.C. Small, of York, U.C. and Mr. Proctor, of Montreal . . .
"W.A. Cochran, Esq. civil Secretary to His Excellency the Earl of Dalhousie,
arrived in this city [Montreal] on Monday last, from England by way of the
United States. It is said His Lordship was to sail from Canada on the 20th
of this month.
Quebec, July 14th |
The arrival in this port of two Ships from China, forms a remarkable
epoch in the annals of Canadian commerce. The Moffatt and
the Juliana are the first vessels that ever entered
the St. Lawrence from the immense continent of Asia, the largest and
most populous quarter of the world. They sailed from London on the 12th
August last [1824], left Portsmouth on the 24th of that month, and arrived
at Canton on the 24th January. On the 24th February they sailed for Quebec,
kept company 20 days and separated off Java, met again off the Cape of
Good Hope, separated, and arrived the same day off St. Helena. After
leaving that Island they did not see one another till their arrival at
Quebec, within a few hours of each other, a most extraordinary proof
of good management and the perfection of the art on board both ships.
The space traversed by them in ten months has been about 38,000 miles.
The Moffatt is about 800 tons, the Juliana about
500 ; the former 9,941 chests of tea, the latter 5,900, forming in all
15,841 chests. Both vessels
are in high order, and take cargoes from hence to London. . . . . |
From the New York Commercial Advertiser (London dates to 6th June)
England:— In the House of Commons on the 3rd June, an interesting debate
took place on the bill for the alteration of the Quarantine Laws, and on a
grant of £200,000 "for compensating certain inhabitants of the United
States for the loss sustained by the capture of slaves by the British Army."

The large lumber ship Baron
of Renfrew, it is expected will complete her cargo
and be ready for sea by the 10th of August. She is in every respect a superior
vessel to the Columbus,
and it is thought will stand the sea much better. Her owners have purchased the
small Steam-boat Experiment, and are transferring her engine to the Baron, where
it is to be used for the purpose of working the pumps. |

The Baron of Renfrew:— Upwards
of 300 men are now engaged loading this enormous vessel, and ten
horses are employed in raising the logs with the assistance of
Pulley and tackle, from the ship's side. It is rather a novel spectacle
to witness so many horses at work on a ship's deck, the same as
if they were labouring in a field. Parties of pleasure in Pilot
boats visit this vessel from Quebec almost every day, and as she
lies at anchor opposite the Falls of Monmorenci, the visitors enjoy
double gratification. We had an opportunity last week of observing
a very interesting scene of this description ; a boat with a number
of Ladies and Gentlemen arrived alongside the Baron,
and after the company had been politely shown the interior of the
vessel,
and receiving that kind of hospitable treatment which the sons
of the Ocean are so proverbial for bestowing, they descended
the ponderous ribs of this huge specimen of Naval architecture,
and got safely lodged in their small craft. On leaving the ship,
some Gentlemen who played the clarinet, struck up the lively air
of "Good night, and joy be we be ye a." at the conclusion
of which they gave three hearty cheers which were returned by those
on board
the Baron. We have seldom felt sensations
of so agreeable a nature as those ; Indeed it afforded ample room
for repflection.
It is expected that the loading of the Baron will
be shortly completed and that she will sail about the 10th proximo.
Public Improvement:—
Mr. Raymond
the enterprising Proprietor of the Steam Boats Montreal and
Canadian, have contracted for the building of a wharf of 100 feet in length,
to be completed in 15 days, for the accomodation of the steam boats, and the
public, on their arrival at Laprairie.
The Steam Boat Laprairie left Quebec at a quarter past seven
o'clock on Saturday night, and notwithstanding a head wind all the way, anchoring
the first night
at the River Richelieu, stopping at Batiscan, Three Rivers, and Berthier to land
passengers, and take in freight and wood, she arrived in Montreal at half past
seven o'clock on Monday morning. The facilty with which this boat sails, the
attention paid to passengers by the master and the general management under which
she is conducted, render the Laprairie as desirable a mode of conveyance as any
other on our river. |
