The James, belonging to Mr. Cozens,
arrived at Cubits yesterday, from Portugal. The Master says,
that a few days ago, in the longitude of (I believe) 30 degrees,
he fell in with a brig, water-logged, having a living woman lashed
in the main-top, four living seamen in the rigging, and, (oh!
dreadful to relate !) a dead man spread in the shrouds, on whom
the unfortunate and unhappy survivors were subsisting ! The master
said that he made every exertion to save them, but alas ! without
avail and that a very heavy gale (which lasted 48 hours) caused
him to leave them to the mercy of the foaming ocean, into the
bowels of which, he has no doubt, they were consigned soon after
its commencement. The master read " Indi- " on
some part of her. He came close to her several times and requested
the poor fellows to throw themselves over-board, that he might
be enabled to pick them up, but he could hear them say they
were too weak ; and when they saw the impossiblity of his saving
them,
their lamentations were dreadful.— Newfoundland Gazette
Shipwreck.— The ship Wanderer,
of and for this port, William Waygood Master, on her voyage
from Quebec, was on the
22nd October, in Lat. 45 : 0 N. long. 42 : 0 W. struck with a
heavy cross sea., which carried away her bulwarks, stauntions
and the round house, and ripped up her plank sheer, and caused
the ship to leak so much that the crew, with all their exertions,
could not keep her clear. The mizen mast was then cut away, and
the crew, after taking some provisions, took refuge in the tops
at 9 o'clock at night, where they had not been long before the
ship turned over on her beam ends ; and soon after the masts
gave way and the master and seven of the crew were unfortunately
drowned. She soon righted, and eleven men were left on the
wreck, the sea then making a free break over the ship ; they
lashed themselves to the windlass and bitts, where they remained
for two days and nights, until providentially, the American
ship Great Britain, of New York, Captain T.M.
French, with great promptitude and ability came down to their
assistance, and succeeded in taking the survivors off the wreck,
although at the same time the sea was running at a [fast] tremendous
rate. Captain French, with the greatest humanity, placed the
men in his cabin, and paid utmost attention to them, administering
every thing necessary to relieve their wants. They were landed
at Havre de Grace, from whence the Mate arrived here on Friday.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed on Captain French, his officers,
and crew, for their exertions on this occasion. London

November 16.
The brig Try Again sailed from Quebec on
the 14th October, bound to Liverpool with a cargo of timber.
On the 22nd, in lat 45. N. long 28. W. was overtaken by a severe
gale from N. to W. 23rd, at 1.30 minutes A.M. furled all sail
and hove the ship to. the pumps constantly going, but not able
to keep her free. During the day she laboured much, and shipped
a deal of water. At 3 o'clock and 20 m. P.M. on the 24th, shipped
a sea which swept the decks fore and aft leaving nothing standing
bu the fore-mast and a stump of the main-mast. Two of the crew,
James Robinson and Duncan Wier, were swept over and drowned.
After clearing the wreck, we found the ship half full of water,
and totally unmanageable, having lost her rudder. We then prepared
some provisions for the purpose of securing ourselves on the
foretop, but had no sooner placed them on deck than they were
swept off. We were then obliged to repair to the top without
food or water, and there remain for four days. On the morning
of the 5th, being nearly exhausted, and the weather more moderate,
we went on deck in search of provisions. Two casks of water
had been stowed in the steerage, and one with difficulty, was
brought on deck, which had been stoved, and a quantity of water
admitted ; we however secured it to the windlass, and with
sixteen pounds of beef repaired again to the top, where we
remained eleven days, during which time, ten vessels passed
us, one in particular within musket shot, but to our surprise,
she altered her course and stood from us. Our beef now being
exhausted and having nothing left but this brackish water,
our sufferings became very great. Some of the crew then suggested
that lots should be cast for one to die for the sustenance
of the others, but two not agreeing, we were fortunately preserved
on the 20th November, by the ship Alexander,
Captain Baldwin who sent two boats to our assistance. At this
moment our feelings may be imagined, but not told. By the kind
treatment of Captain Baldwin we have been saved from a watery
grave, and rescued from one of the most distressing scenes
that can be presented to imagination. — Philadelphia
Gazette
The brig Boward, arrived at Baltimore, fell
in with the Aid,
Archibald, from Quebec for Wexford, lat. 44, 31. long. 46,
57. and took off the captain and four hands ; the mate and
three hands had been washed over and drowned. And the same
day, fell in with the Teviotdale, from Quebec for Liverpool
and put the captain and men of the Aid on board of her.
The Aid, of Maryport, was fallen in with on the 3rd inst. in
lat. 46, long. 43, water-logged and abandoned.— London

The facilities afforded of transportation by the
Erie Canal to the western parts of Pennsylvania and all the States
bordering on the Ohio, together with the rapid improvement of
those immense districts, have turned the tide of emigration to
the western States, chiefly through that channel.
By the last Passenger Act, passed by Congress, vessels arriving
in the United States are restricted from carrying more than one
person to every five tons.
By the report of the last session of the British Parliament,
in relation to emigration, the evidence, that one passenger to
every two tons, for all the purposes of health, affords ample
accommodation was deemed satisfactory and has become the law,
rigidly enforcing, however, that there shall be 75 days ample
provision and water for each passenger proceeding from a British
port to North America.
Passengers arriving in the United States without respect to age
or citizenship are subject to tax, by the United States, of one
dollar, under the head of Hospital money ; yet, if any of these
persons should become sick, they would not receive any medical
aid, though thus taxed. During the quarantine regu- . . . . truncated |

The Weather.— For the last ten days,
we have had a succession of cold chilly weather. Except in a
few elevated and dry situations very little has been done towards
the labours of the field - and as the fall was equally unpropitious
in this respect - we have reason to anticipate that we shall
have rather a late seed time. This kind of weather has, however,
been particularly favourable for the manufacture of Maple sugar,
which is we understand so very abundant, that the price in some
parts of the Country has fallen to the very moderate rate of
two pence per pound. |

We are sorry to learn by letters from Bytown, that
part of the frame of the Bridge now erecting over the branch
of the River called Grand Chaudiere, gave way on the 2nd instant
with a tremendous crash that was distinctly heard at Lower Bytown.
Fortunately no lives were lost or any serious injury sustained
by any of the workmen employed upon it at the time. This accident
is the moreto be regretted as we understand it was so near being
finished, that another days labour would have placed it beyond
the reach of all danger. Not daunted by this misfortune - measures
have already been taken that will insure the final completion
of this magnificent undertaking, very soon after the waters of
the Ottawa begin to subside. |

Montreal.—
The Laprairie Steam Boat arrived here on Tuesday
afternoon, being here first return voyage from Quebec this season.
She reports having met with a great deal of ice at the bottom
of the Richelieu Rapids.
The tow-boat Hercules left this place yesterday
morning with a full cargo, being her first trip for Quebec. The
John Molson sailed out of the harbour at the
same time, but unfortunately grounded on the shoal of the Little
Island, from which she was soon got off again. |

The brig Esther, Nicholas, stranded below
by ice last fall, arrived on Tuesday evening, the 15th instant.
The Colonial brig Kingfisher, Rayside, also
stranded below last fall, arrived this afternoon ; likewise,
the Earl of Dalhousie.
The British Sovereign, a ship of 350 tons, to
be commanded by the owner, Captain Thomas Thompson, of the Amythyst,
and to take the place of that brig in the London trade, was launched
this
morning from Munn's cove. She is undoubtedly, in respect of model
and workmanship, one of the finest merchant vessels ever built
in this country. She will do honour to the port and to the late
Mr. Joseph Farrington [her builder]. |

LONDON FEMALE FASHIONS FOR MARCH
From the World of Fashion |
| |
In the out-door department, we have seen a most beautiful pelisse
of Indian taffety, the colour of fine pink, not so refulgent
as the decided rose, but brighter and more deep than the pink
in general. This elegant dress, which may be, and, indeed, has
been seen at an evening party, is nevertheless, most appropriate
to the carriage, in paying those morning visits of ceremony in
a first introduction to ladies of superior rank. It is faced
down each side of the skirt, in front, with broad black velvet
; round the border is a simple cordon of black silk. A pointer
stomacher pelerine of black velvet falls over the shoulders and
bust, but is not carried to the small of the waist behind, and
discovers a rich chain work lacing of black cordon down each
seam of the back, terminated by fringe tassels ; the cuffs at
the wrists are formed of antique points of black velvet. A pelisse
of of black satin, either for the carriage or the fashionable
morning lounge, has excited much admiration ; round the border
is a trimming of black velvet, a la vandyck, two plain bias folds
ornament each side, where it fastens ; which is by straps of
velvet, confined by gilt buckles. A stomacher pelerine
is finished in a point at the base of the waist, in front and
behind, and two points, over the shoulders, one on each. The
sleeves are en gigot, and are finished at the wrists in triple
points of black velvet, forming a broad cuff.
With the pelisse of rose-colour , which we first mentioned, is
worn a bonnet of the same silk, finished in the most superb and
tasteful manner with black velvet, and adorned with plumage of
pink and black feathers, intermingled, that play beautifully
over the bonnet, which is of very moderate and becoming dimensions.
Black velvert is still the most predominant material for hats
and bonnets ; one very elegant bonnet for the promenade, of this
kind, is trimmed with black satin in arcades, bound with pink
satin riband, a bow of which is placed under the right side of
the brim ; the strings are of pink satin riband, in a long loop.
Among the newest head-dresses is a large beret, of pink crape —ss,
ornamented with black velvet ; it has long double lappets of
crape, a la Janissaire, terminated by a black velvet small rosette.
Another coiffeure of equally large dimensions is the beret opera-hat,
of Jonquil taffety, or crape, tastefully trimmed and bound round
the edges of of the divisions with black velvet and yellow satin
; it is ornamented with feather-net plumes of the ostrich, of
jonquil colons, the netted part yellow, edged round and tipped
with black feather fringe. A small aigretra feather, in a spiral
position, divides the plumage in front. A beret turban for dinner
parties, resembling the Andalusian cap, is of black velvet and
gold gauze ; a bandeaux of gold lace encircles the part next
to the forehead.
A very beautiful blue silk dress of the tissue kind has just
been completed for a lady of distinction ; it is figured over
in a delicate oak-leaf pattern, in white, and is superbly trimmed
with white blond ; the sleeves wore short and full, with elegant
draperies, a la Parse. Another evening dress is of crape areophane,
or bright amber, trimmed at the border with one very broad flounce,
with a head nearly half the breadth ; and this head is divided
from the lower psrt of the flounce by a roleau of satin ; towards
the edge of the flounce, and also on the head are black satin
ornaments of the most unique and elegant kind ; viewed at a distance,
they appear like beautiful feathers. The corsage is made with
fichu robings, ornamented with black satin roleaux and black
blond ; the back is finished in a correspondent manner ; the
sleeves are short and full and are adorned with black satin trimmings,
answering to those on the flounce.
The painted ribands, so much in fashion, are tissue of one colour,
upon which are painted, birds of different islands — butterflies
of Brazil and China. These ribands are made into bracelets and
bands, and are also made into bows for the hair.
The colours most in favour are pink, ethereal blue, amber, violet,
scarlet and jonquil. |

The Weather.— for the last few days has been
very unsettled and disagreeable. Rain has been plentiful and
will prove useful in driving the frost out of the ground. Little
or no seed has as yet been sown, and we believe our farmers look
to a backward season. We are told, by a correspondent, that the
Almanacs this year err, in stating last Friday to be
St. Mark's day, and many look forward to forty days rain as a
consequence of that which fell that day. It appears it ought
to be Thursday last which our readers will recollect was fine
and pleasant, and if the saying alluded to be true, we have no
reason to look for an over supply of rain. |

Shipping Intelligence.— The Gaspé, the first
arrival from Europe this season, came into port early on Friday
morning, which is ten days later than the first vessel from sea
last Spring. At this period last year there were upwards of ninety
vessels in the harbour.
The Gaspé, on the 26th ult. off St. Peter's
spoke the brig Day, 30 days, from Liverpool
for Gaspé,
which vessel had been two days among the ice on the Great Bank.
The Day stated that the brig Ann,
McKenzie, sailed two days before her for Quebec, and that the
ship Margaret was to sail two days after her.
Saw a great deal of ice to the eastward of the great bank, and
met an extensive field out the side of St. Paul's ; run along
the edge of it about 100 miles, steering north, then met the
ice ahead — got clear on the 29th ult. after having been
fast 24 hours. The barks Wallsend and Scott, which also arrived
yesterday, were detained in the ice for some days, and have received
damage.
The ship Superb from Bristol to Quebec, with
a general cargo, to W.& G. Pemberton, struck the ice about
the 28th ult. off Cape
Ray, and received much damage. [the ship Superb,
501 tons, was built at Prince Edward Island] Captain Cain (the
Master) went
on board a schooner to obtain assistance
;
unfortunately
his
boat was stove alongside the schooner and he was unable to return
to the ship. During the night the lights on board the Superb disappeared
and at day-light she was nowhere to be seen. Eighteen hands remained
on board the ship [there were no passengers]. Captain Cain and
the other four seamen arrived here yesterday in the Wallsend.
This vessel met with a great deal of ice off the Magdalen Islands
about the
1st instant. Nine sail were seen by her at that time.
Fourteen vessels left Hull for Quebec about the same time as
the Wallsend.
The cargo of the William Hunter, wrecked last fall at Kamouraska,
has been brought up in a schooner. |

| Shipping Intelligence.— Only three vessels from
sea have arrived in port. There can be no doubt that the others
are detained by the ice, which by the accounts, stretches across
the straits at St. Paul's Island and extends over a large portion
of the Gulf, in the vicinty of the Magdalen Islands. By information
from New Brunswick, it appears that the Gut of Canso is also
closed ; so that the entrance to the St. Lawrence in entirely
interrupted, except through narrow channels, which one or two
may hit by mere chance. Had the vessels now detained, sailed
from Europe so as to reach the Gulf about the 15th April, it
is very probable that they would have got up to Quebec without
meeting a piece of ice on this side of St. Paul's Island. The
ice met in the Gulf detaches itself from the shores and bays
of the Labrador coast about the middle of April ; a large part
of it enters the Gulf by the straits of Belle-isle, and passing
the east point of Antocosti, stretches with the currents flowing
up along than island, or is thrown across by the prevalent northerly
winds of the spring, to the south shore, into the current running
down on that shore, and finds its way out by the Gut of Canso,
or by the straits on either side of the Island of St. Paul ;
it often lies to a late period of the year on Cape Breton, where
it thaws by the warmth of the summer, or is driven as far as
the Newfoundland banks, which, however, rarely happens. This
ice, called by the Canadian traders to Labrador, les ban-quises,
or shore ice, is generally from twelve to twenty feet thick,
and broken into detached pieces.— Old Quebec Gazette, May

Shipping Intelligence.— The greater part of
the vessels arrived, have been detained by ice from 6 to 12 days.
The report of the loss of the Ann and Amelia,
(formerly a Quebec Tea ship) with all on board, is unfounded.
She has arrived safely
at Malta, with stores for the navy stationed in the Mediterranean.
There is a report in circulation, of the loss of the brig Cherub of Greenock, (formerly commanded by Captain Rayside,) this is
believed to have no other foundation than her having been spoken
to a few days back in the gulf, not having yet arrived ; the
fate of the ships Æolus and Spencer occasioned by the ice,
giving rise to such fears at this moment.
The Margaret, and some of the vessels which have arrived, encountered
a great deal if ice, much serious damage has been sustained,
and some vessels lost.
The Æolus sailed from Waterford on the
17th April for this port, addressed to Messrs. R.T. Froste &
Co. On Sunday last, at about 9 o'clock, she had her bow stove
in by the ice, about twenty miles to the northward of Gaspé.
The pumps were immediately manned, but it was found impossible
to keep her free. Captain Howland, the first mate, three
passengers and seven hands, succeeded in getting into the pinnace,
and were picked up the next day by the Abeona of
Shields, in which vessel they arrived here last night. Nine passengers
and six seamen remained on board the Æolus,
which is supposed to have gone down about two hours after being
struck.— One of the seamen saved is so severely frost-bitten
that his life is despaired of.
Captain Owens, of the Richard Sands, reports
having spoken the Bonito and William
Pitt, off the east end of
Anticosti. The Bonito had sent a boats' crew
to assist the Spencer,
which had been much damaged and fears are much entertained for
her safety. |

| Shipping Intelligence.— The Princess
Royal,
at the entrance of the gulf, spoke the Catherine and
Ann, bound
to Miramichi. This vessel had fallen in with a boat of the Superb,
Cain, from Bristol to Quebec ; out of seven hands in the boat
only two suvived, and one died soon after getting on board ;
the other ( Benjamin Orchard) had been severely frost-bitten
up to the knees ; he stated that they had been ten days in the
boat, during which period being unprovided with any articles
of subsistence, they were compelled to the painful necessity
of satisfying the irresistible cravings of nature, by living
on the bodies of such of their unfortunate companions as had
alternately sunk under the weight of their sufferings. The boat
of the Catherine and Ann, on nearing that in
which were these unfortunate men, was at first unable to discover
any living being in her, the survivors being so much reduced
by their suffering as to be scarely able to move. Orchard was
with difficulty enabled to raise his head above the gunwhale
of the boat, just as his deliverers, struck with the horrible
sight of the mangled bodies, were about to return to their vessel.
Captain Townsend boarded the Catherine and Ann, and conversed
with Orchard, who was under the care of the Master, and receiving
every comfort and attention which it was in his power to afford
him. The Superb, soon after the boat left her, went down. |

| Quebec, May 19. |
About 150 vessels have arrived in port within the last six
days. Several of the regular traders are still due. . . . We
refer readers to the shipping intelligence for accounts of
the disasters occasioned by ice ; which owing to the violence
of
the winds, appear to have been more numerous than in ordinary
circumstances. It is seldom that we recollect the easterly
winds blowing for so long a time and with such violence as
they have
done during the last eight days.— Old Quebec Gazette
But few Emigrants from Ireland, comparitively with the number
arrived in late years, have come to this country this season,
and, it is probable, that there will be a great diminution. It
is very likely that Mr. Horton's plan has induced many to wait
in the hope of assistance, and generally the reports of friends
in the country were unfavourable. The Emigrants from England
are, however, more numerous than usual. About 300 have already
arrived ; they are chiefly farmers from Yorkshire ; several
families of these were living on the Parish, and the provisions
and other expenses of the passage were paid out of the poor
rates. We are happy to learn that a number of them have found
employment at from £2 to £3.10 a month, but this is a
season of unusual activity, the greater number of them intend
to settle in the Upper Province ; a few have little capital.— Old
Quebec Gazette

. . . Sir Robert Wilmot Horton was appointed to the Privy Council
in 1827. His deepest concern was for the distressed victims of
economic change in the United Kingdom and he hoped to turn this
curse
of the mother country into a blessing for the colonies. In 1823
and 1825 he was largely responsible for securing parliamentary
grants for two experiments in Irish pauper emigration to Canada.
He moved successfully for a select committee on emigration and
as its chairman in 1826-27 propounded a plan whereby married
paupers with families might surrender their legal rights to parish
maintenance in exchange for assisted passages, grants of colonial
land and the provision of houses, stock and equipment, the costs
being paid from loans raised on parish rates in Britain. The
plan was embodied in a bill which was dropped when Horton left
the Colonial Office in 1828, but in parliament, press and pamphlets
he continued to advocate assisted emigration and settlement.

Press, 1966, p. 554.

Launch of the Golconda.— This
vessel was launched from the ship-yard of John Saxton Campbell,
Esq. this morning, a little before 7. The Golconda is
one of the largest ships built, in this port, being about 600
tons burthen,
she moved off her ways with the utmost grace, and was received
by the element which is to be her future home without accident
to herself. There were several hundred spectators looking on,
all was for one or two moments silent as Death, four of the men
employed knocking away the blocks had not been sufficiently expeditious
in withdrawing themselves and the vessel passed over them, every
eye was turned with fearful anxiety in the spot which they had
occupied a minute before, just as the ship was received into
the bosom of the St. Lawrence, — these four poor fellows
were seen waving their hats ; it is impossible to describe the
sensation of the moment, it poured itself forth in a burst of
rapturous cheering. The Golconda is an amazingly
fine ship and quite worthy of the name.
Two other vessels were launched at the same time, and from the
same Yard ; the Thames an uncommonly beautiful model of about
300 tons built for Messrs. Finlay, Gillespie & Co. The other
the Tiatontorili, of about 120 tons. |

Shipping Intelligence.— The
arrivals up to the 22nd amount to 158, ten more than were in port at the same
period last year ; tonnage is in proportion.
| The following is a comparison of the number
of vessels, their tonnage, and the number of emigrants arrived
at this port to the 20th May, last year, and to the 20th
May, this year:— |
| Years |

144 |
41,210 |
3,400 |
| 1828 |
149 |
41,578 |
2,000 |
| At this period of the year there appears a
diminution in our trade of 17,782 ton compared with last
year. There is little doubt that this diminuation will be
proportionately maintained in the trade of the whole year.... |

| Camillus Passenger List |
Emigrants.—
This day, the large ship Camillus, Captain Peck,
leaves the port of Greenock, for New York, taking along with
her about 150
emigrants from different quarters of Scotland and Ireland,
the greater number of whom are operative weavers, and cotton-spinners,
who have been chiefly induced by the persuasion of friends
already settled at New York and the neighbourhood, to go out
to live with a view of bettering their condition in life. Many
of the intending passengers went down the Clyde on Monday by
the steam boats, to join the Camillus, and some
affecting, though in one or two instances, rather ludicrous scenes,
were exhibited on the quay, at the parting of old friends and
acquaintances, who were perhaps destined never again to see each
other's faces. One old woman was observed to take a pretty little
girl, her grandchild, into her arms, and after fondly kissing
her, the tears rolling her furrowed cheeks, she said in a low
broken tone, " Fareweel, my bonny wee Jean, ye'll never
mair see ye're auld grannie. May the God o' heaven proteck ye
on ye're
passage o'er the wide deep sea ; Fareweel. " The child wept,
it seemed scarcely to know why, and the poor woman turned about
and bent her steps homeward, with a countenance betokening what
was felt within. Among similar scenes, there was one which, though
to some it might appear a little ludicrous, we could not help
regarding as an affecting picture of sophisticated attachment.
A young man and an interesting looking girl, were observed among
the emigrants in close and ardent conversation when the signal
bell for the sailing of the boat were sounded. Their countenances
suddenly changed — they looked upon each other, and, little
regarding the crowd of gazers that had assembled to witness the
embarkation, the youth clasped the girl, who was doubtless "
his ain and only joe, " to his heart, gave her an affectionate
salute, and after bidding her adieu, he jumped into the boat,
which soon disappeared in the first winding of the Clyde, while
the desolate maiden gazed after it with a look which seemed to
say |
" Farewell ! if ever fondest prayer,
For other's weal availed on high ;
Mine will not all be spent on air,
But waft thy name beyond the sky. " |
The emigrants at the starting of the boats, were loudly and
encouraginly cheered by their friends upon the quay. They appeared
generally in good spirits, and all in the hope that, if they
were in the meantime subjecting themselves to self-expatriation,
they were about to secure for their families a comfortable subsistence
in the land of the stranger, the means for obtaining which had
long been withheld from them in their own.

Shipping Intelligence.— The Middleton, Scott,
from London in ballast for this port, is ashore on Trinity Point,
(opposite Cape Chat,) in a bad condition ; Captain Scott arrived
last evening in the Industry, to procure assistance. A schooner
will be dispatched immediately. The Middleton got ashore on the
15th inst. in thick weather.
A letter from St. John's, Newfoundland, April 25th, says the
Seal Fishing of the season may be considered a failure, but few
vessels having returned with good cargos.
The Endeavour was becalmed fifteen days to the eastward of
the Banks.
The Ida brought up Captain Cousens, passengers
and crew of the St. Charles, wrecked on the
20th inst. on the Island of Cape Breton. The St. Charles had
a valuable cargo on board, from London, estimated near £10,000,
principally for Montreal, none of which is expected to be saved.
It was very thick weather when she struck (half-past two am),
and the breakers were not observed until the ship was in the
midst of them. She subsequently went on her beam ends, and when
left was nearly covered by water. A heavy gale came on next day
when the Captain thinks she must have gone to pieces.
The remained of the crew of the Superb from
Bristol, bound to this port, the loss of which has been previously
mentioned, were
taken off by the Diana, Captain Lookup, bound
to Bay de Chaleurs. |

Shipping Intelligence.—
Miramichi, May 13th. Captain Barkier, of the Centurion,
states that the ship Superb, Captain Cain, from
Bristol to Quebec, struck a piece of ice on the 23rd ult. on
the banks of Newfoundland,
and was stove in. The Capt. and two of the men boarded a schooner
the following day, and seven of the crew got on board the pinnace,
which was hoisted out for the purpose of saving the crew, and
it is supposed the painter broke, as she drifted from the ship,
and having no provisions on board or anything to work her, it
is expected they soon perished. The remainder of the crew, eleven
in number, were taken off the wreck by the brig Diana, Captain
Lookup, bound to the Bay de Chaleurs, three of whom Captain B.
took from Diana, and are now in Miramichi. |
|
| LOSS OF THE ST. CHARLES |
| The loss of St. Charles from London with her
valuable cargo, is likely to prove a very serious inconvenience
and loss, (from the disappointment of business) to many of our
principal importers. Her cargo, being mostly of the finer descriptions
of Fancy Goods from London, is estimated at £40,000 to have sold
in this market for upwards of £60,000 Currency, a large amount
to be withdrawn from the summer business of this place. This
loss is the more to be regretted, from the cargo being mostly
composed of fancy fashionable Goods, adapted fro the present
period, and selected personally by imported, and cannot so well
be replaced by new orders, as if they had been Goods of a different
kind, more suitable for general use, during our varied seasons. |
|
| Quebec, May 31. |
| The Storm.— On Thursday morning after
a sultry day, the wind veered round to the Eastward, and during
the night blew a perfect hurricane which has since continued,
and the tides being at their highest, considerable damage has
been done to the wharves, stores and coves throughout the port
during last night and this morning. The reports from the Coves
on the St. Lawrence this morning were distressing, booms broken
and timber of immense value swept adrift, the greater pert of
which will probably be lost to the rightful owners. . . . . . —.Mercury. |
