Shipping Intelligence:— A considerable number of vessels
are reported by the late arrivals to be in the River, bound up.
Quebec, July 29
On Wednesday last the ship Miriam & Jane,
Captain Henley, at anchor on the ballast ground fell over on
her beam ends ; the Captain's wife, sister and two children were
on board and the cries of the females occasioned a report that
the vessel was full of Emigrants—no lives were lost. The
steam boat New Swiftsure went off and remained
by her during the night, but was unable to render her any material
assistance.
About 4 p.m. of the following day the Ship started with the ebb
tide drawing both her anchors and did not bring up 'till she
reached Patrick's Hole, where she now lies with very little chance
of being saved, as only a small part of her quarter is visible
and all efforts to weigh or slip the chain cables have hitherto
proved unavailing.— The Hercules Tow Boat went down to
her on Thursday and we understand succeeded in saving some of
the rigging.— Mercury
Halifax, July 11
Sydney, June 21 1826.— The following circumstances relative
to the loss of the General Brook [sic], have been given by the
mate, who is now in this place, and which I beg you will insert
for
the information of the concerned. I am &c. P.H. Clarke, Agent
for Lloyd's.
On the 29th of May, at half past twelve a.m. the brig General
Brock, of Jersey, for Gaspé, was run down by
a brig—there were 18 persons on board, 3 jumped on board
the brig and one was left on the vessel, Joseph Horner ; the
men who left the brig, were Thomas Mallet, James Perrims and
Phillip Parther ; 14 took the long boat—they saw the vessel
go down instantly in lat. 47, 50 N. long. 48, 30 W. they were
in the boat 10 days, during which period perished Phillip Duval,
a Clerk to Messrs. Janvrin ; Francis Chevalier (Cooper) ; Phillip
Serret ; Clement Renoufe ; Elias Vebrant ; George Brown.— The
five first days, they were without food or water, save a small
Dutch Cheese ; on the sixth day, cut and eat part of one who
died the night previous, continued to subsist on human Flesh,
and drank the blood with their own urine mixed with salt water,
till afternoon of the 8th June, when they were run down on, and
taken on board the brig Ann of Liverpool, D. Forbes, master who
took on board 8 persons including Captain, Mate and six Men,
of whom died, Captain P. Land ; Edward Luce ; Charles Myers ;
Francis Leman. The survivors are the Mate, Elias Raudans ; Joseph
Powell ; John Dobart ; William Hughes who has suffered much from
inanition, and the effect of cold feet they being frost-bitten,
ulcerated, &c. They arrived at the Bras D'Or on the 19th June. |

In consequence of the steam boat Congress having
commenced running on Lake Champlain, the American mails will

made up on Mondays, as usual, at 12, and Wednesdays and Fridays
at 3 o'clock.
The Snake Story—Is now announced by the Gazette to be a
mere hoax—given out by an inhabitant to prevent idle children
trampling his fields for berries &c.
From the English Papers:
Arctic Land Expedition.— Despatches have been
received from Captain Franklin, of the Arctic land expedition,
dated Winter-quarters, Fort Franklin, on the great Bear Lake,
September 6. During the summer, three expeditions, under Captain
Franklin, Lieutenant Bach, and Dr. Richardson, were made, preparatory
to the great objects to be undertaken next year. The expedition
under Captain Franklin went to the mouth of the Mackenzie river,
which he found to discharge itself into an open sea ; there is
one island near its mouth, called by Captain Franklin Garry's
Island.— From the summit of this island the Captain saw
the sea to the northward all clear of ice or islands ; to the
westward he saw the coast to a great distance, his view terminating
at very lofty mountains, which he calculates were in longitude
188 deg. west. The expedition would proceed early in the spring
on its ulterior objects. The officers and men were all well and
in spirits at the favourable circumstances which had hitherto
attended their proceedings.
Died.— on the 8th ult. at Ballyshannon, Ireland,
Samuel Cumming, at the advanced age of 111 years. He enlisted
in 1754 [1734 ?], in the 33rd regiment of foot ; and
was one of the first selected gunners from that corps to the
Royal Artillery in which capacity he served for 34 years. He
was at the first battle fought in America, under General Cumberland
; he also served in various other campaigns, with the most distinguished
bravery, and was engaged in the suppressing of Lord G. Gordon's
riot in London. His having received pay under three Kings, is
a remarkable circumstance ; and the amount of pension which he
has received from Government, since his being discharged as unfit
for service, is said to have been £1,223.2s. |
From the New York Papers:
A mode of refining sugar with pot or pearl ashes instead of blood,
is said to have been discovered in England.— It is said
to be more economical, but this may, perhaps, be doubted.
Captain Peter Pease, who was a cabin boy in the fleet which took
Nova Scotia from the French in 1745, is now living in Edgartown,
Mass. healthy & active.
At New York, a young man has been convicted of stealing pump
handles, to get the job of making new ones but now he goes to
other work in the Penitentiary. |

Shipping Intelligence:— The Miriam & Jane, has drifted
down to the lower end of the Island of Orleans and was lying
there with the steam boat Malsham alongside, yesterday morning.
One of her chain cables has been slipped, but her head is still
kept below water by her other anchor ; hopes are, however,
entertained of finally succeeding in bringing her up to Quebec.— She
now lies in fifteen fathoms water.
The hired Colonial brig
Carrington, Rayside, was seen at the entrance of the River beating upwards on
the 20th inst.
The Meridian, Straughan, arrived on Saturday from Montreal, and
sailed this day for Liverpool.
The Union Packet, Lloyd, from Liverpool, proceeded for Montreal
last Friday evening in tow of the Hercules, steamboat.
In the Gulf, Hibernia, from Cork with settlers. This vessel
having had a very long passage, was out of provisions and received
a supply from the transport Vittoria.
The late hot weather has occasioned a great deal of sickness
and some instances of deaths from bowel complaints have occurred
; we observe that a great proportion of the deaths have been
those of children, amongst whom dysentery has been very prevelent.— Mercury
We observe that a flying bridge is now erecting across the mouth
of the Creek, at the Old Market Gate. This will be a great convenience
to the public, forming a communication betwixt the upper and
lower end of the Port, which has been long wished for.
On Monday night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, a female
steerage passenger, whose name we have not been able to ascertain,
was unfortunately drowned from the steamboat Lady of
the Lake,
opposite Cape Diamond.— The particulars which led to this
melancholy accident are that the unfortunate female, who was
a Canadian, and had been in service at Quebec, embarked on board
the boat with the intention of returning to her parents, who
reside in one of the country parishes on the north side of the
St. Lawrence. A short time after the boat left the port of Quebec,
as the deceased and a young man, a rafter, were toying near the
bow of the boat, the railing gave way, and both were precipitated
into the river. A small boat, with two sailors was instantly
lowered and the Lady of the Lake put about. The young man, who
was a good swimmer, was picked up, but the unfortunate female
had disappeared. |

Mr.
VILALLAVE begs to acquaint the public that he has now completed
the machinery for enabling four persons at a time to enjoy
the most pleasing exercise which has ever been established
in this city, called the CIRCULAR RIDE. There are two Horses,
a Carriole, and an elegant Silver Swan, which may each be
occupied by a Lady or Gentleman, and when the machinery is
set in motion they go round with an amazing velocity. At
a particular point there are rings placed on a wire, for
the purpose of being displaced by those on horseback in passing,
and when the rings to the number of 15 are stricken off ;
the ride is terminated. This amusement affords also a wholesome
exercise, and will be certain of giving general satisfaction.
As the Circular Ride is in a spacious room of the Pavillion,
private parties can be accomodated at any time, upon giving
sufficient notice to Mr. V. and less than two persons cannot
be admitted to perform the Circle at one time. The Room will
be opened at 10 o'clock on Monday morning the 22nd inst.
and remain open until 9 o'clock in the evening during the
season. |
| |
| Tickets of admission
to be had at the Bar of the Pavillion, price 6d. each during
the day light, and 7½d. after the candles are lighted. |

or petition to the Colonial Secretary of State, requesting
that they and their families might, for charity sake, be transported
to Canada or any other British settlement. If it had been possible
for the request of these poor people to have been granted,
they would have derived no further relief, than that of being
fed during their passage, and, perhaps, for, a period after
their arrival in the Colony to which they might have been sent.
The petition after stating, that have no hope of their calling
ever again affording the necessaries of life, goes on to represent
that their "situation is so peculiar that they cannot turn
their industry into any other source." The picture they draw
of their own wretchedness and misery is affecting, but after
making such a declaration, it is obvious that the means they
purpose would not afford them relief. "If," says the petition,
"the yet uncultivated districts of Canada were thrown open
to us—that is if we had the means of arriving there as
settlers, our conditions would be ameliorated, at all events
we could not worsten our situation, but have every chance
of bettering it." We make this quotation to shew the very erroneous
opinion, entertained in England respecting the North American
Colonies, and how little aware these sufferers are of the hardships
of a first settler's life. To emigrants of the agricultural
class no country offers greater advantages than do these provinces.
But the sickly artizan, the enfeebled inhabitant of a city,
who must change his sedentary employment for a life of active
industry and robust labour, far removed from the assistance
of his fellow men, on which he has been habitually accustomed
to rely ; could obtain but a bare and miserable existance,
even on a farm which has been already brought into cultivation,
and being wholly inadequate to the task of clearing wild lands,
far from obtaining by emigration relief from the "wretchedness,
starvation and misery," under which the manufacturing operatives
have unhappily laboured, he would find that he had only changed
the scene of his sufferings, to encounter in their worst form
in a distant colony, and a rigorous climate, the very evils
which he sought to avoid by quitting his native country. |

Shipping Intelligence:
The wind has come around to the eastward and now blows a good breeze from that
quarter. As there are a number of vessels reported at hand, their arrival may,
therefore, be hourly looked for.
The Carrington, Rayside, sailed from Jupiter river (Anticosti) for the Magdalen
Islands, 24th July, from whence she was to proceed to the Gut of Canso, there
to await the arrival of his Lordship the Governor-in-Chief, in the Menai.
The Andromeda, with general cargo from London, 14th June, was at anchor at Basque
Island, a little below Green Island on the 10th instant.
Montreal:
An Irishman whose loss of £127 near the French Church we have
already
mentioned
has had the whole restored to him by the person who found it—an honest
girl of the name Eliza Hill who is in the service of Mr. James Flemming of St.
Antoine Suburb. We understand the owener of the money voluntarily presented her
with £6 as a small recompense for her integrity.— Spectator
York, August 15.
The new steamboat Canada, Captain Richardson, made her first trip, to Niagara
on Monday last, and went out of the harbour in fine style. Her appearance reflects
much credit on her builder Mr. Joseph Dennis, and the Machinery manufactured
by Messrs. Wards of Montreal, is a specimen of superior workmanship. The combined
excellence of the model and machinery of this boat are such as will render her
what is termed a "fast boat." The trip to Niagara was performed in four hours
and nine minutes. Her present route we observe is advertised from York to Niagara
and the Head of the Lake.— U.E. Loyalist
Quebec, August 19.
The arrival of His Lordship the Governor in Chief with the Countess of Dalhousie
is looked for about the 1st proximo, as the Menai only waited for a fair wind
on the 2nd August to proceed on her voyage hither. H.M.S. Jupiter, 60 guns, bearing
the Flag of Rear Admiral Lake, was to accompany the Menai, the Admiral proposing
to visit Canada with his family and a party of fashionable from Halifax, whose
tour will, it is said, be extended to the Falls of Niagara.— Mercury |

Shipping Intelligence:
The brig Amos Botsford, Hodgson, from Liverpool for Quebec, out 19 days, in ballast,
was fallen in with in a sinking state 8th July, lat. 46, long. 25, by the Adeline,
from New Orleans for Liverpool. Capt. Hodgson, officers and seamen, fourteen
in number, were taken on board the Adeline ; the brig sank shortly after.
The brig Maria, of Liverpool, on her return from Buenos Ayres, sunk in the British
Channel, and 37 persons, including several women and children, who were passengers,
drowned.
Needle Making:
I will attempt to give you some idea of needle making. The wire is first cut
into suitable lengths for two needles. Each end is sharpened by taking fifty
or a hundred between the finger and rolling the points on a revolving stone.
The needle is then placed on a die, exactly in the centre, and one blow makes
two eyes, and, at the same time, cuts the wire nearly in two, between the eyes.
This was done with so much rapidity that I asked how many times the die fell
to make the eyes, not perceiving that the boy took up a new one at every blow.
Two needles are then parted, and you have two in an unfinished state. Tempering
them is then the next process. The needles while heated red hot, are thrown into
cold water, and afterwards are brought to a spring temper, by being rolled in
plates of hot iron. Each is then filed at the eye ; and, last of all, receives
the polish in the same way as it is pointed, only on a finer stone. In the lastroom
I visited were 15 or 20 young girls, from ten to fourteen years of age, busy
in counting them out, putting them into papers, and labelling them. The principal
part of the work is done by boys, who, from their appearance, must be poorly
paid.—London Paper |

On Thursday afternoon, a fine new ship named the Egyptian,

of inhabitants assembled on the occasion. She went of in fine
style, amid the cheers of the spectators. She is intended for
the Levant trade.—Herald
Match against Time:— On Friday last a considerable sum
was won by Lt. Hoare, of the 76th Regiment, by running against
time. This gentleman had betted the preceding day, to run five
miles in 35 minutes. Accompanied by some other officers, he
repaired to the appointed place—the bank of the Lachine
canal, where a distance of one mile was measured for the undertaking.
About one o'clock he commenced and notwithstanding the day
was very warm, he performed the distance with apparent ease,
having one minute and ten seconds to spare.—Gazette |

Shipping Intelligence:
The Dalusia, (new brig) Norton,
hence 14th August for London, has put back to Kamouraska, being too crank to
proceed to sea. It is expected
she will be able to proceed on her voyage about the end of the week.
Captain Lawson, of the brig Gales, arrived on the 31st ultimo. from Belfast,
reports having seen a ship ashore on the southwest point of Anticosti, about
14 days since. She was lying high up and had lost all her masts.
The Miriam & Jane, is not to be sold as was intended after the report of the
survey, but will be repaired and sent to sea this fall.
The ship Cottingham, which put back, having received damage from grounding in
the Traverse, has been obliged to discharge to repair, the injury sustained being
greater than appeared on the first inspection. |

Later from Europe:
It cannot be made too public, that by the 5th Geo. IV.cap. 128,
sec.70, spirits found floating on the sea, are not to be taken
up if in casks less than 40 gallons, by any person meeting
them (not even with intent to deliver them to officers of the
customs) except by officers of the navy, customs or excise
under forefiture [sic] (forfeiture) of the vessel or boat,
likewise the penalty of three times the value of such spirits,
or the sum of £50 at the election of the commissioners
of his Majesty's customs ; but by the 71st section of the same
act, any person giving information to a person authorized to
seize such spirits as may be floating, so that such seizure
shall be made, shall be entitled to such reward as the commissioners
of the customs direct.—London Paper
Important to Merchants.—
The Dublin Freeman's Journal states, that by a law which would go into operation
on the 1st August, all ship-masters will have to give an account, at the Customs-house,
of the cargo, on board their vessels, previous to being cleared out. To do this
is almost impossible ; and if the law be enforced, it will take two or three
days to get through the clearance, which is now done in one day. The inconvenience
to commerce will be serious.
The Steam Boat Comet.— This unfortunate vessel which last
year carried so many passengers to a watery grave, has been raised and brought
to land. The bodies of several persons who were supposed to be lost in her have
been recovered, and the whole number is sixty-three. Thirteen only were saved. |

Quebec, September 14
Accident.— On Friday morning last, a young man named John Laverick, belonging
to the brig Southampton, lying at the Queen's Wharf, was unfortunately
drowned
under the following circumstances:—
While standing on the plank which conducts to the vessel it accidently slipped
off the edge of the wharf and precipitated him into the river ; owing it us supposed,
to his striking on a spar
placed as a fender, he never rose to the surface of the water, and every exertion
to recover the body proved unavailing.
His Excellency the Governor in Chief, the Countess of Dalhousie, Rear Admiral
Lake and their respective suites were passengers in the Lady Sherbrooke which
left port for Montreal yesterday morning. His Excellency will be absent about
a fortnight. |

STEAM BOAT FOR SALE
To be sold, the STEAM BOAT MALSHAM,
burthen per register 608 tons, as she now lays, below
the Town,
with her Engine complete
of 45 horse power, made by the much celebrated Bolton
and Watt.— she
was built exceedingly strong, principally of Oak, and
chiefly Copper fastened,— the great power of the
Engine may be estimated from the facilty and speed with
which
so heavy
a vessel
has been propelled by it.— She may be sold with
or without her Engine, as shall best suit the purchasers,
and if not disposed on or before the 2nd October next,
by private sale, she will on that day be sold, by Public

OTTAWA STAGE
and
STEAM-BOAT NOTICE |
 |
| This line is now in operation, and will continue
during the season of navigation, making two trips each week
from Montreal to Hull, at the Chaudière Falls, and the same from
Hull to Montreal. The Stage will leave E. Cushing's Inn, McGill
Street, in Montreal, every TUESDAY and FRIDAY mornings at 6 o'clock,
and arrive at Lachine, at 7 o'clock, when the Steam Boat St.
Andrews will leave Point Fortune in time for the Stage
to convey the passengers to the Steam Boat Union, at Hawkesbury
the same evening ; she will arrive at Hull on Wednesday night. |
| RETURNING |
The Steam Boat Union will
leave Hull every TUESDAY and FRIDAY mornings at 5 o'clock,
and reach Hawkesbury in time for the passengers to arrive at
Point Fortune the same evening. The Steam Boat St. Andrews will
leave Point Fortune on WEDNESDAY and SATURDAY mornings at 5 o'clock,
and meet the Montreal Stage at Lachine in time to convey the
passengers to Montreal the same day.
For any further information, apply at E. CUSHING'S Stage Office

the Canadas, and for health and pleasure cannot be too highly
recommended, should any parties be desirous of making that tour,
the shortest notice will induce the proprietor to make every
preparation for their comfort. |
