The Great Britain S.B. (steamboat) arrived on Saturday last with 220 Emigrants, principally from Yorkshire and the adjoining Counties, nearly the whole of whom remained in this town [Toronto, formerly York].
The Queenston S.B. came up on Tuesday from Prescott with 450 Emigrants — forty of whom, all English, she landed at Cobourg and twenty at Port Hope. Of the other 390 ; about one third of whom were Irish, ten Scotch, and all the rest English ; more than 300 disembarked here, and the rest proceeded in the Queenston to the head of the Lake.
The Alciope S.B. arrived on Wednesday morning, having brought about 140 Emigrants from Prescott, forty of whom, all English, were landed at Cobourg ; forty at Port Hope, also English — excepting only two families of Irish — and sixty at this place, nearly all of whom were also from England. Besides these deck passengers, the Alciope brought up two or three highly respectable families of British Emigrants, in the Cabin. One of them is Mr. Dixie, with a family of nine cabin passengers and five servants, with carriages, dogs, and various other "gentlemanly appurtenances," and the two others, we understood, were Captains Wilson of the Navy, and Russel of the Army. All of them remain at present in this town.
On Thursday, at 3 o'clock P.M. the Great Britain came into port again from Prescott with 261 Emigrants, over six years of age, and we guessed seventy under that age — say together 360, something like fifty of whom were Irish ; forty Scotch, chiefly from Roxburghshire ; 270 English, most of them from Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Norfolk. This fine boat makes her trips from Prescott to York and Niagara and back to Prescott in five days, as will be seen by the advertisement in this day's paper.
Number of Emigrants landed at Cobourg and Port Hope this season, 1,170.
Number of Emigrants landed at York, 2,183, about 200 of whom have since proceeded towards the head of the Lake.
Total number come into this part of the Province this season, down to this morning — 3,355.

The number arrived at Quebec down to the evening of the 3rd June was over 25,000, very nearly three fourths of whom are Irish. As more than three fourths of those who have come to this Province are English, it would be interesting to know how the great bulk of the Irish Emigrants have been disposed of. Perhaps some of our Quebec or Montreal contemporaries could inform us.
The select Committee of the Adelaide Association have determined on the township of Seymour, as the place of their intended settlement ; and have fixed the site of their contemplated city on the north bank of the River Trent near the southern boundary of the Township.— York Courier, June 11.

The Steamer Niagara arrived here from Prescott in the night between Saturday and Sunday, having brought from thence about 450 emigrants, in nearly equal proportions of English and Irish. About 250 of them were landed at Cobourg, 120 at this place, and 80 went up to the head of the Lake.
The Queenston Steamboat came up early on Tuesday morning. She left about sixty emigrants at Cobourg and Port Hope, and brought about ninety to York, one family of whom (Scotch) proceeded to the London District ; one family (English) to the Township of Nelson ; one family (Irish) to Puslinch ; and one family (Irish) to Dundas. And the rest, between sixty and seventy, remain in the town. The Queenston also brought up several passengers in the cabin, including four young ladies and a gentleman (brother and sisters) from Scotland, who have come here, we understand, with the view of establishing a female Academy. The Queenston proceeded to the head of the Lake at 6 o'clock A.M.
The Great Britain Steamboat arrived on Tuesday with 507 emigrants, 160 of whom were Irish, and all the rest are English, from Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Leicester, and, principally, from Yorkshire. About 150 of these emigrants proceed, we understand, to the lands of the Canada Company. Among the residue there are many fine families having considerable property, and a number of mechanics, and of the better class of English labourers.
The Alciope Steamboat left Prescott on Wednesday morning with 216 emigrants over 12 years of age, and about 180 under that age — say together. 400 ; thirty-five of whom were left at Kingston, forty-five at Cobourg, forty-five at Port Hope, 255 at York, and twenty proceeded to Queenston. Of the whole number, nearly three-fourths were Irish, and the rest English, mostly from Yorkshire, with a few from Westmoreland and adjoining Counties.
Besides the above, about ninety English emigrants have arrived during the week in schooners from Prescott, Oswego and Rochester.
The total number of emigrants who have arrived at York, during the season, down to this morning, is 3,327, between 400 and 500 of whom have already proceeded to head of the Lake, and many others intend to move in that direction. About 150, chiefly poor English and Irish families, have already been forwarded, by the Hon. P. Robinson, to the Township of Oro, where they are to be settled under the superintendence of Mr. O'Brien.
The number disembarked in the Newcastle District, this season, down to the same date, is 1,570.
Total, arrived in this part of the Province, 4,897. — York Courier, June 18.

In our last we noticed the arrival of a number of old soldiers, passengers in the Hebe, who have commuted their pensions for a certain sum of money and a grant of land in these Colonies. We are sorry to understand that the instructions for the future disposal of these veterans have not yet been received, having been sent by the May mail, and that they are consequently detained here, to their serious inconvenience, and at an expense they can in no way afford. It appears singular that men coming out under such circumstances should not have been provided with duplicate instructions, to obviate say such difficulty as has now occurred, more especially as it is of the greatest consequence that emigrants should land in the country that they have chosen for their future abode, under circumstances tending to inspirit and encourage them ; much of their future welfare depends upon this, and it was with pain we heard expressions of disappointment and sorrow at the step they had taken, from several of these old soldiers. Those who are acquainted with the habits of this class of men know how highly they, and perhaps with justice, value their past services, and how strictly they expect the letter of their engagements to be adhered to. It is to be regretted that any thing should have occurred to damp the ardour of these settlers, at the same time we hope that as this measure seems to be merely experimental, it may not be tried upon a large scale, till its success shall be fully ascertained ; for we cannot but express our doubts how far settlers of this description are calculated to promote their own welfare, or add to the prosperity of the Province. As an inhabitant of Canada we should at any time prefer seeing a ship load of emigrants arrive, every man of who it would delight a recruiting officer to enlist for the service, or even of those who had "..,not arrived to pith and puissance," than of such as have passed their best days in a profession not the best suited for forming a colonial settler. — Quebec Mercury.

After our paper went to press on Saturday, we learnt that His Excellency Lord Aylmer had, upon the representation of Commissary General Routh, ordered relief to be afforded to those emigrants who, having commuted their pensions, came out in the Hebe, and who could in any way make out their claims upon Government. These men have, we understand, a claim to 100 acres of land, in common with other discharged soldiers becoming actual settlers. — Mercury.

On the 6th instant the Princess [sic] John of Saxony (full name: Johann Nepomuk Maria Joseph Anton Xavier Vincenz Aloys Franz de Paula Stanislaus Bernhard Paul Felix Damasus) was delivered of a little Prince, who, on the following day, was baptised by the name of — Frederick-Augustus-Ernest-Ferdinand-William-Louis-Anthony-Nepomucene-Maria-Baptiste-Xavier !— [We may venture to recommend a betrothment between this long-named Prince, and the daughter of the Duke of Cambridge, the Princess Augusta-Caroline-Charlotte-Elizabeth-Mary-Sophia-Louise.] —Age

Wikipedia states the infant's name was "Frederick Augustus Ernst Ferdinand Wilhelm Ludwig Anton Nepomuk Maria Baptist Xavier Vincenz (b. Dresden, 5 April 1831 – d. Schloss Weesenstein, 12 May 1847), known as Ernst."

In our last we mentioned the numbers that the Emigrant Society had already forwarded from this city to different parts of the Provinces. Among the list would be found 201 souls for Sorel. These are intended for Drummondville and other settlements in various sections of the Eastern Townships. We are happy to see that emigration has commenced to that part of the Province, the soil of which is equal to that of any other, while its proximity to market gives it an advantage over the distant parts of Upper Canada.
A late number of the Quebec Mercury mentions that labour is in great demand in Georgeville on Lake Memphragog, where a hundred able bodied and industrious men would find ready employment during the remainder of the season, at from ten to sixteen dollars a month and their board. If such is the case, it is to be hoped that the Quebec Emigrants' Society will send a few of those who are daily arriving at that city, in the direction of the Townships, instead of to Montreal, where they may be re-forwarded to Sorel, at a considerable loss to the funds placed at the disposal of the Society for general relief.

In the Mint from London, about 200 out-pensioners of Chelsea, who have made a commutation of their pensions for a sum of money and a grant of land, have arrived at Quebec, and about 100 more by the Kingston from Waterford.

The extensive brewery of THOMAS MOLSON, Esq. at Kingston, was destroyed by fire on Monday night last. The fire was first observed by some of the workmen about eleven, and the alarm being speedily given, the inhabitants of the town and the troops of the garrison were promptly at the scene of destruction to render assistance. Notwithstanding all their exertions the fire did most extensive damage, destroying in its progress the brewery, distillery, malthouse, piggery, a large new store and wharf, together with about 5000 bushels of grain and fifty puncheons high wines. Mr Molson was unfortunately absent at the time of the accident ; we observe in the Kingston paper a card from Mrs. Molson, returning thanks to Col. Nicol and the garrison, as well as to the inhabitants, for their unwearied exertions. We regret to learn that the insurance on the premises was suffered to expire some time ago, and that a renewal of the policy in Montreal, lately proposed, was not completed.
