We have received a document containing a complete expose of
the views of the Company, and they differ in some particulars
from those already before the public, we propose to take a
rapid glance at this great project.
The routes laid down are not exactly the same with those which
have before appeared in the public prints. It is now proposed
that steam ships shall sail from Valentia, in Ireland, twice
in each month, at first, but ultimately every week ; — one,
of the largest class, (1000 tons) for New York, touching at
Halifax for fuel, and to meet a branch line from Quebec ; and
another, of the first class, for the West Indies, touching
at Fayal, in the Azores, for fuel, and thence proceeding to
Antigua, where she will meet a branch from Trinidad, Oronoco,
Guiana, and the Brazils. From Antigua she will proceed to Port
Royal, in Jamaica, and return by Cape Nichols, Mole and Bermuda.
From Jamaica a separate branch will run to Carthegena, and
the Company's Prospectus states to the Magdalena, but will
be prevented by the bar at the mouth of the river. It may,
however, meets and communicate with the line of small draft
steam boats, now establishing on the Magdalena by the enterprising
Mr. Elvers. The depots of coals at Bermuda and Fayal
are intended to be formed from the Cape Breton and Nova Scotia
mines, thus opening another market for the minerla wealth of
that fine colony. A depot might also be formed at
New York, provided the American Government would allow the
debenture
upon such as are expended by the steam vessels. . . . . 3

| The Indians:— The four Lorette Chiefs arrived
here on Tuesday evening, the 27th instant, in the Caledonia.
They speak in the highest terms of England, of the kindness of the people
and the generous treatment they met with from Government. It is not probable
that in any other Country individuals could be found to give themselves
so much trouble for poor strangers, from motives of beneficence alsone,
as we have every reason to believe, some Gentlemen in London have taken
in favor of these Indians. — Old Gazette |
A very fine Bark, called Leonidas, was launched yesterday
morning from Mr. Carman's wharf, at Diamond Harbour, of the burthen of
380 Tons, she was the first vessel ever launched of that size from the
same place ; and what rendered the sight more gratifying, it was generally
supposed from the height of the fall, that it was impossible to succeed
; however we are happy to state that she was consigned to her element
in very fine style, to the great amusement of the bystanders.— Com.
|
| |
Launched:— The fine new barque Charlotte and
Maria, of 371 tons register, was launched from Messrs. Robert
Wood & Co.'s ship yard, St. Michael's Cove. — The vessel
is generally allowed by competent judges, to be one of the finest and
most substantial built ships that has probably been built in Canada
for many years. She moved into her element in a most majestic style
and was safely moored opposite the Cove, in order to take in her cargo.

The body of Lewis Foy Esq. who was so unfortunately drowned,
by falling from the Steam Boat Quebec,
in her passage to Montreal, on the night
of the 18th instant, having been found was brought hither on the 28th, and an
inquest being assembled, the Coroner, J.G. Thompson Esq., proceeded to investigate
the circumstances by which the deceased came to his death. It appeared from the
testimony of Mr. Murdock McKenzie, of this city that the deceased and himself
were on board the Quebec Steam Boat on the 18th inst., and had
passed the evening together, that about 11 o'clock when off Cap Santé,
they went upon deck, he went towards the stern of the vessel and left the deceased
standing at the cabin door, shortly after he heard a scream from some person
and ran to the cabin door, not seeing Mr. Foy there, he considered that he had
fallen over board and that it was he who screamed— Witness called out to
stop the Boat, one of the people came up and enquired what was the matter, witness
told him what he suspected had happened, the man then said the Captain was in
bed, and went to call him, in less than a quarter of an hour the Captain appeared
and was requested to stop the Boat, but refused to do so, saying that the Engineer
was forward, and that before the Boat could be stopped, which was going at the
rate of ten knots an hour with the tide, she would be too far off to afford any
assistance to the deceased. The Boat was not stopped, the witness heard the deceased
scream but twice, the night was very dark, and it was impossible to see any thing
on the water— the witness had further stated that Mr. Foy had drank two
glasses of brandy and water, and that he did not appear to be in any way affected
by them— he also deposed that there was no railing on the left side of
the vessel and gangway, there are steps there, cut into the deck, he supposed
that owing to the want of a railing the deceased his feet having slipped, fell
into the water,— he described the the place as being exceedingly dangerous,
and had no doubt, but that he had gone there he also would have fallen overboard.— When
he saw Mr. Foy the last time there was no person standing near him. The other
evidence called was Mr. Manly, son-in-law of the deceased, who merely identified
the body and spoke to its being found.
The jury accordingly found that Lewis Foy Esq., from the insufficiency of the
Steam Boat Quebec, to protect passengers from accidents, and
from the negligence of the master and crew, accidently fell from the side of
the vessel into the river St. Lawrence, and was there drowned. They further returned
that the said steam boat was the cause of the death of the deceased, and further
valued the boat at £1590.
This unhappy affair has also attracted the attention of the Grand Jury, which
yesterday terminated its labours with the sitting of the Crimnal Term, and made
a Presentment on the subject. The evidence taken by the Grand Jury differed in
some points from that given by Mr. McKenzie, in as much as the Captain was on
deck, in the fore part of the ship and not in bed as Mr. McKenzie supposed. The
man who went to look for him went forward, and not to the cabin ; but this does
not alter the material part of the evidence, and nothing was produced in any
way tending to exculpate the Captain, whose conduct still appears in a very reprehensible
light. The gangway of the boat is said to be, by the Grand Jury, presented as
the cause by which the deceased came to his death, and was valued at the sum
of £50, which is offered as a deodand.— The presentment was not read, as
the Chief Justice we understand, decided that the Court was not competent to
enter upon the further investigation of the case, but, we are informed, that
His Honor received it, and declared his intention of bringing it before the Executive,
that the regulation of our steam-packets may prove the subject of Legislative
provision.
It is also said, that further proceedings will be taken by the Attorney General
founded on the Coroner's Inquest, as well as on the presentment from the Grand
Jury.— Mercury
The Weather, for the last five or six days, has been unusually
fine for the Season ; indeed we have seldom experienced more delightful
days in the month of June, than those with which we have been favoured
since Saturday last.

Shipping Intelligence:—
Only nine vessels have entered in the Custom House for loading, from 22nd September
to the 1st October, the clearances within the same time amount to 31.
There remain now in port 116, of which 38 are loading for London ; and 12 for
Liverpool. The number of vessels entered this season to the 1st October
is 695, Cleared 614. Of the arrivals, 61 have made the second trip from England
and upwards of 30 may be expected this month from London and Liverpool, which
with several others from various ports on the first and second trip, will make
a total at the close of navigation of not less than 750. The clearances up to
the same period may be estimated at 800 ; as little less than 50 sail of vessels
will have been launched at Quebec and Montreal, during the season.
An arrival at New York, 22nd September, reports having passed the wreck of a
vessel 31st August 44, 30 long. 30 W 1st September saw the surface for several
miles covered with lumber and broken spars. The arrivals at that Port and Boston
about the same date, have generally experienced very bad weather for the 7th
to the 12th of the month ; some of them have suffered considerable damage.

on her passage to Bermuda— one man was unfortunately killed, and
four wounded, by the falling of the spars. The Sappho struck
on the sisters Rocks in coming into the harbour on Friday night, but the
weather being moderate was soon off again.

The weather has for a short time past been unusually
warm for the season. The Thermometer has risen almost to 80 Farenheit
in shade, but there have been heavy dews at night and the atmosphere
through the day is moist and unhealthful. The high mountains in
the lower parts of this Province were covered with snow as early
as the 22nd ultimo.
By a public advertisement by this day's Gazette it will be seen that
the out houses, timber and other building stock, of the Ship Yard
at the Island of Orleans, where the large timber Ships
Columbus and Baron
of Renfrew were lately constructed, is offered for sale.
The very great losses which the persons engaged in this speculation appear to
have met with, have, no doubt, now led them to abandon it.— Old

Erie Canal.— This stupendous undertaking
has been completed, and Boats can now proceed from the city of New
York to Lake Erie without any other interruption than what is common
in all Canal Navigation. The event is to be celebrated in many parts
of the state of New-York, in a manner sufficient to testify their satisfaction
of the completion of the work which will reflect credit on the liberality
and patriotism of the most wealthy and enterprising portion of the
United States.
The following letter announcing this circumstance was transmitted to
the president of the Board at Albany, by one of the commissioners.
| To the Hon. Stephen Van Rensselaer, President
of the Board of Canal Commissioners |
Sir,
The unfinished parts of the Erie Canal will be completed, and
in a condition to admit the passage of boats on Wednesday,
the 26th day of October next.
It would have been gratifying to have accomplished this result
as early as the first of September, but embarrassments which
I could not control, have delayed it.
On this grand event, so auspicious to the character and wealth
of the citizens of the state of New-York, permit me to congratulate
you.
I am, sir, respectfully, your obedient humble servant, |

| UPPER CANADA |
| The Wellend Canal.— We have often seen
descriptions in the newspspers, of the United States, of the rapid growth
of villages, in that country. It appears to us that we have a case in point,
in this District equal to any thing they can produce in that extensive
country— on the summit level of the Wellend Canal. We believe there
was not twelve months ago one House. On that beautiful plane there are
now upwards of one hundred dwelling Houses, inhabited by upwards of 500
people ; besides labourers on the Canal, there are black-smiths, tailors,
shoe makers, &c. there is a good market— with a constant supply
of the necessities of life, a number of merchant shops, alias stores, with
assortments equal to any in the country. The Editor has an opportunity
of viewing the progress made on this stupendous undertaking, and was much
gratified to find the soil so well adopted to facilitate the work— it
is as far as has been dug a solid clay, without any spring or veins of
sand or stone ;— the method adopted on the summit level, is to plough
up, and carry off in wagons the clay, this, has been repeated to the depth
of ten or twelve feet, and no obstruction has yet appeared to hinder this
method, being pursued. From the level of Chippawa, on the head waters of
the Twelve-Mile Creek for about a mile, the Canal is nearly completed,
the greatest depth of which is seventeen feet, all sold clay. The plan
adapted by the contractors is to give hands a certain sum of monthly wages
we believe 10 dollars, and a dollar and a half for thier board wekly ;
the men thus are at liberty to board wherever they please. The numerous
houses erected, although not extensive, can accommodate the labourers.
The weather has been favourable, no rain, nothing to interrupt the work.— Gleaner |
The Fog.— Since our last the Fog has returned, equally
dense as it was last week. The papers of Upper Canada, and these of Quebec
all mention that these places have been visited with this troublesome
guest. It is still believed that the fog is produced by fire in the woods,
as the timber in many parts of the country is stated to be burning by
which serious losses have been sustained.

| [From the Quebec Mercury] |
Sir,— In your paper of the 1st inst. there appears a statement
of the proceeding of the inquest held on the body of L. Foy Esq. who unfortunately
fell overboard from the Quebec Steam Boat under my command, and as it is
not quite as explicit as I could wish, I beg to offer you some observations
thereon as well as my reasons for having acted as I did.
On the night of the 18th ult. between 11 and 12 o'clock, when being very
dark and blowing hard, we were running through the Richelieu, when the
first waiter Peter Flannagan came forward with a lanthorn in his
hand and asked if the Captain were there. I replied yes, what do you want
? I believe Sir, there is a man overboard ! — When did he fall ?
About a quarter of an hour ago. I immediately exclaimed lower down the
boat, and ran aft, when I encountered Mr. McKenzie, to whom I
said, when did he fall overboard, Sir ? I did not hear his reply, but turned
to the
Mate and said, what does he say ? He says twelve or fifteen minutes, Sir,
and added there is no use lowering the boat down such a night as this,
for we shall never find him ; I was of the same opinion and countermanded
the order I had given, as I found Mr. McKenzie's time corroborated the
waiter's reply, upon which I had placed very little credit. Mr. McKenzie
has stated that I would not stop the boat and gives as my reason, the Engineer
being forward. He possibly may have requested me to stop the boat, but
I certainly did not make that [churlish] reply, neither do I recollect
to have entered into any explanation with him on the subject. The cause
of my not stopping, was the boat being in the Richelieu, where I could
not take the steam off her as she would have lost her steerage-way when
I must have gone on shore on the south side of the river, at nearly high
water upon a spring tide for there was no anchorage, neither could I round
her to run back for want of room.
From the time Mr. Foy fell overboard to the time I heard of the melancholy
accident, we must have shifted our position, from the effects of steam
and tide, nearly four miles, but allowing the latter to act equally upon
the unfortunate gentleman and the boat, he must have been not more than
two miles astern—say one. It then becomes actually necessary that
my baot, had I lowered her down, should gain one mile ahead, against a
tide running nearly, if not quite, six knots an hour. Now as my boat will
not pull more than from three to four miles an hour in still water, and
it was at that time flowing hard with a somewhat heavy cross sea, it is
clear that she could not have maintained her position over the ground,
is it likely that she would have drifted in a line with the boat keeping
in view that he fell overboard between Cap Santé and the Point du
Platon ?
It has been stated that I was in bed, Mr. McKenzie should have contradicted
this report, as he accompanied the Steward, Dennis McCarthey,
& Waiter, Peter Flannagan to my cabin and found that I was not there ;
but even if
I had, Mr. Editor, is it a heinous offence to retire to rest at 11 o'clock
at night ?
There has been a fatal error in this business, Sir, it was in not having
given a proper alarm at the moment, for certainly no circumstances could
be more propitious excepting the want of day-light and less wind, for saving
the life of a fellow creature under such circumstances, as I was precisely
where I ought to have been, the Pilot was on my right hand, the Mate on
my left, with the Engineer behind us and three or four of the crew on deck,
the vessel being at the same time between Cap Santé and the Platon
where there is plenty of room and good anchorages.
The report of the inquest appears to throw some odium on the crew, but
as I did not ask any one's advice there can be no blame attached to any
person, I acted from the impulse at the moment as I judged best for the
security of the vessel committed to my charge ; if I have erred, I am extremely
sorry for it— it can be attributed to nothing but an error in judgement
to which the most enlightened are liable. |

On Thursday last arrived from Halifax, His Majesty's brig Rifleman,
Captain Webb,
having on board Admiral Lake, and several gentlemen of his routine. She was accompanied
by His Majesty's ship Menai, Captain Stewart, and a tender.
The Admiral, we understand, has visited the principal harbours on the coast between
this and Halifax. On
Wednesday
morning he proceeded on a tour to the seat of government, from whence he returned
on Friday evening to this city in the steam boat. The Admiral sailed on Sunday
morning last in the Rifleman for Halifax via Windsor.—

| Reported Loss of the Baron of Renfrew |
| The following is the substance of information communicated to us by a
passenger in the Sir Francis Burton arrived on Tuesday from Halifax. We
sincerely hope that it will prove unfounded.. The Sir F. B. had put into
Gaspé:— |
| Gaspé, 1st October 1825 |
"A brig bound to Quebec put in here in distress, 25th instant [Sept],
the Captain of which reports that he saw the large Timber Ship Baron
of Renfrew, near the Grand Bank broken up and floating in several huge
detached pieces, and part of the crew on each— would have attempted
to render assistance but the danger of doing so made it impossible, owing
to the violence of the weather and the immense pieces [of] wreck floating
in every direction.
The Baron of Renfrew was seen by the Jasper arrived
at Boston on the 16th September. Of the vessels arrived at this port, only
two crossed the Banks after the 22nd and these report they saw "nothing
of the Baron.— Old Gazette |

Casualty.—
One of the passengers in the ship Trio,
lately arrived
[Sept 17] with settlers from Cork, lost his life by falling down the fore-hatchway,
when the vessel was in the river, off the pilgrims. The body was brought up
to Quebec, and an inquest held upon it. Verdict, Accidental Death. The deceased,
named Thomas Oliver, has left a wife a two children.
The body of Edward Bower, late carpenter of the [bark
/ ship] London, was picked
up on Monday morning last. A Coroner's Inquest returned a verdict of "Accidental
Death." [the London,
Smith, cleared for London on October 12th]
An arrival this morning, in 7 days from Gaspé
brings no intelligence about the Baron of Renfrew.
His Majesty's Ship Romney had not arrived at St. John's, Newfoundland, on the
23rd ult., where she is to land Sir Thomas Cochrane, the New Governor of that
Island.
The Steamboat Richelieu was seized in this port on Monday, by His Majesty's Customs,
as having no Register. Proper Bonds, were given, and she sailed for Montreal
on Saturday.
The following vessels have been launched since Thursday morning last,
at the ship-yards in this neighbourhood. viz |
| Ship Brothers, by Messers McAlpine &
Richardson, at Sillery Cove, of 295 tons |
| Ship Sir Francis N. Burton, at Mr. Finch's yard, St. Roch,
of 110 tons |
| Ship Thomas Ritchie, at Mr. Munn's yard, St. Roch, of
about 375 tons |
| Brig Juliana, by Mr. Brunet, at the late Mr. Goudie's
yard, of 275 tons |
| Ship Alicia, at Mr. Labbé's yard. Ance des Meres
[L’Anse des Mères],
of 425 tons |
| Brig Jean Baptiste, at Mr. Labbé's
yard, L’Anse
des Mères, of about 250 tons |
| Brig Bolicina, at Mr. Labbé's
yard, L’Anse des Mères, of about 350 tons |
| Brig Belfast, by Mr. Orkney, at St. Roch, of 260 tons |
| The greater number of these vessels are of the first class, built upon
very fine models, and reflect great credit on the builders. Those of Mr.
Labbé were launched from the same yard, in the course of an hour,
on Saturday morning ; two were launched on the same ways. |
| The Micniac of 127 tons, a brig just built at St. Paul's Bay, about 50
miles below, came up to this port yesterday. She is owned by Charles Hunter
Esq. We are informed that two other vessels are to be laid down there. |

Quebec, 20th October
The Hercules, Captain Brush, Steam tow-boat, has
been siezed by His Majesty's Customs at this port. The reasons alledged,
as we have heard, among others, are that she had no Register, was
partly American property and was not commanded by an English subject.
Some opposition having been made to the officers of the Customs we
understand that a serjeant and twelve men of the 71st foot have been
placed on board. Her cargo, partly composed of potash for vessels
just at their departure has also been seized.

Navigation of the Hudson:— It is stated in the
Albany Patriot, that a plan for improving the navigation
of the river below that place is to be submitted soon to the
citizens for their support. The intention of the projectors
of this plan is to connect the islands on the west side of
the river by solid and permanent embankments, so as to afford
a deep channel on the west shore round and beyond the overslaugh,
closed by locks at each end to keep out currents and tides.— Com.

Shipwreck:
We regret to have to announce the loss of the elegant

communicated by
captain Lattermar, of the schooner Ardent arrived at Baltimore
from Key West.
Captain L. states that the Crawford was lost on the Bahama Banks
when seven days out from New York. The ship had been previously dismasted. The
Crawford was
owned by Captain Holmes of this city [New
York], and was a regular packet between
this
port
and New Orleans.
We have no account of the passengers and crew. The ship sailed from this port
on the 24th of September.— Com. Adv.
Snow fell for the first time this season, to the depth of nearly three
inches. The wind which was strong at north east all the day and this
morning brought up some of the vessels, which are due. The weather, however,
was
comparatively mild, and the snow will disappear soon. It is very probable
from the general warmth of the past summer that shall have a fine open
fall.— Old Gazette

We are much gratified in announcing the safe arrival yesterday of His Majesty's
Ship, Romney, Captain Lockyer, C.B. and the Transport, Maria,
with the remaining
divisions of the 79th Regiment ; for the safety of which apprehensions began
to be entertained. In course of this morning
the Head Quarter Division, under Colonel Douglas, disembarked from HMS
(the companies under Major Campbell, from the Maria, having
landed yesterday.)
and marched into the Jesuit's Barrack. . . . . . But whilst hailing the arrival
of these gallant strangers, we must not lose sight of our old friends, the 37th
Regiment, who are about to take their departure in the same vessels which brought
the Camerson Highlanders . . . . .— Mercury
The St. Lawrence, Captain Harby, is loading, by Government with
provisions and
clothing for the sufferers at Miramichi [huge
fire & hurricane at Miramichi and Fredericton] to
the
amount
of £6000,
every
exertion is made to despatch her, a party of military are employed in putting
the stores on board, and were at work on Sunday, so great is the anxiety of Government
to forward these supplies which the (old) Quebec Gazette says, it is
thought will afford subsistance and even comfort to 1000 individuals for six
months,
the same paper gives the amount of the subscription at Montreal on Saturday at £650,
and nearly an equal sum at Quebec.— Mercury |

A severe gale of wind, accompanied with snow, was experienced at Erie Pa. on
the 7th inst. and it was feared much property was lost on the lake. The steam
brig Superior is said to be ashore at Sandusky and the steam
boat Pioneer at
Grand River.— The schooner General Huntington, freighted with ashes, went
ashore ten miles above Erie ; the principle of the cargo was lost.— Evening
Post

A labouring man named Landry, who formerly navigated a vessel
out of this port lost his life on Monday last while loading the ship Eliza,
Hudson. The slings of a log of timber slipping, the head was so severely
crushed that altho' medical assistance was immediately obtained he survived
only two hours.
Two seamen, one of the Mary of Dublin, and the other (an apprentice named
Donootny) of the Letitia of the same port, were drowned when going on board
their vessels at Carman's Wharf on Monday night. Another seaman named Mansfield,

His Majesty's Ship, Romney, sailed for Portsmouth yesterday
with the remainder of the 37th Regiment.
On Saturday, being
the 5th of November, the anniversary of the discovery of the famous gunpowder
plot in 1605, the Romney, Captain Lockyer, fired the usual royal
salute.
On the 30th ult. a handsome boat called the Henry, was launched at Laprairie.
It was built by Mr. Shay, and belongs to a company ; is to be propelled by steam,
and intended to ply between that village and Montreal. It draws only nineteen
inches of water and is considered a beautiful vessel.
The Helen, the first of the Canada Ship Building Companys' vessels
arrived from Montreal on Friday last, ready for sea. She is one of the finest
little ships of about 300 tons we have seen. She bears a large flag at her main-mast
with the words "Canada Ship Building."
A beautiful ship of about 400 tons, called the Rifleman, was launched from Young's
Ship-yard at Montreal, on the 1st inst. |

Our harbour presents this day, a very unusual appearance
for the season ; there being upwards of twenty schooners and a brig
now in Port, a circumstance which has rarely been witnessed in Montreal
on the 3rd of December. These vessels were chiefly loaded with Fish,
Coals and Salt, and will immediately after discharging, proceed to
their winter quarters. The Tow Boat Hercules left this yesterday,
and all the other Steam Boats (with the exception of the Laprairie,
which is expected from Quebec after her last trip this season, today)
have repaired to their respective stations, until the opening of
navigation next year will permit their resuming business. The Canadienne was taken to William Henry [Sorel] on Thursday ; since she has ceased
running the intercourse with Laprairie has been rendered both difficult
and unpleasant, as the passengers are obliged to cross in open boats.
New Brunswick Sufferers:—
Boston has done most nobly. The Centinel of Wednesday informs
us that $6,800 have already been collected ; that $2,000 are in collection,
and several committees have not yet made their reports. The whole
subscriptions will, it is stated by the above journal, fall little
short of $10,000.
Philadelphia has a length taken the field, and in a manner the most
honourable to its character and advantageous to the sufferers. |

Quebec 1st December
The Season:— It is rather a remarkable fact that the river is
now perfectly open and that there is not a piece of floating ice to be seen.
There remain still in port ready for sea, the William, Johnson, and Thetis,
Green. The Jean Baptiste, Brady, sailed yesterday for London, but as the wind
shortly afterwards blew from the East and increased to a gale in the night,
and still blows strong, it is probable that she has put back to St. Patricks.
The brig President, Coulson, from Jamaica which passed Halifax, N.S. on the
3rd ultimo, for this port, has arrived.
The William, Johnston [sic], put back a secnd time on Monday night last, she
has discharged a considerable part of her cargo of wheat, and we are informed
will sail on the first change of wind.— Old Gaz.
Quebec 3rd December
The navigation of our river has this year been open for a longer season than
usual ; upwards of thirty-one weeks have elapsed between the arrival of the
first ships on the 24th April and the departure of the last, the Thetis, (which
will probably sail this day,) even now no ice is to be seen and the Laprairie steam boat arrived yesterday from Montreal, without encountering any impediment
in her passage down.— Mercury |

Lieut. Baldock of H.M. Sloop Swallow, having
been, (with part of his crew) successful in saving the brig Schulkitt from
fire at N. York, has been highly complimented by the different Insurance
Companies of that city, and the owners of the Brig, who have sent Lieut.
B. a sum of money to be distributed amongst his crew and presented himself
with a piece of plate. The correspondence on this subject
reflects the highest credit on the parties concerned.
Quebec 12th December
The navigation of the St. Lawrence opposite this city was completely closed on
the 9th December instant.
The pilots who took down the Thetis and William, the last vessels which left
this port, and which sailed on Saturday week last, have returned, having left
the vessels all well below Green Island.
We understand that the ship Canadian, the Canada Ship Building Company's vessel,
is a Isle-aux-Coudres, as reported early last week. She has lost an anchor and
part of a cable, but has received no damage, and was prevented from going to
sea, as we are informed, by the sailors refusing to work the ship. She will winter
at Isle-aux-Coudres, where there is a very good harbour, and where vessels have
before safely wintered.
The following is a detail of the cargoes of two vessels arrived about the 20th
November, at Halifax, N.S. from the United States. George Henry, New York, 3,622
bushels wheat ; 600 bushels Indian Corn — William Penn, New York, 238 bbls,
and 5,895 bushels wheat and 602 bags Indian Corn.— Old Gazette |
