Montreal Gazette May 27, 1834
The bustle of business, usual on the arrival of our spring vessels has
now fairly commenced. Emigrants for embarkation for Upper Canada, crowded
the steamboat wharves the whole of the past week. The John Bull took
up more than six hundred on her last trip; the Voyageur upwards of four
hundred, and the Canadian Patriot about two hundred, on Saturday evening.
The number already arrived in port exceeds 4,000, and little less than
1000 are known to be at Grosse Isle. Generally speaking they are of a
respectable class, and those who have thus landed within a few days,
have conducted themselves in a peaceable and orderly manner. What may
be the general character of those yet to come, the total of which seems
more likely to exceed that of last year, we can only gather from the
masters of vessels with whom we have conversed on the subject. These
are unanimous in the opinion that most of the emigrants from Great Britain
will be well able to provide for themselves; some are in affluent circumstances.
On board the Westmoreland, Capt. Knill, arrived on Saturday, four families
have from 700 to 1000 sovereigns each; others 200 and there is scarcely
one family that had not 100. They have brought with them great quantities
of implements of husbandry, seeds, &c. for their own use. All of them
intend residing in Upper Canada, where they will be joined shortly by
upwards of six hundred others from Yorkshire, most of them practical
farmers, with sufficient capital to purchase cleared lands or stock farms.
The latter were to sail from Hull between the 10th and 25th April in
the following large vessels for Quebec: - Aurora, Triton, Harmony, Victory,
St. Mary, and Forrester:— Quebec Chronicle |

Montreal Gazette June 10, 1834
Sometimes the voyage across the ocean was uneventful and all of the
turmoil started after landing. This item from June 10, 1834 from the
Montreal Gazette (but copied from the York Courier) shows the movement
of traffic up the Lakes - these are Lake steamers not Atlantic Ocean
ships.
"The number of emigrants arrived this season, as recorded at the
office of His Majesty's Chief Agent, Quebec, to the 7th instant, amounts
to 11,848. In the same period last year 5,662.
At this port [York later
Toronto], emigrants continue to arrive in considerable numbers. The
steamer "United
States" came up on Tuesday night with near 400 British emigrants,
the greater part of whom were taken from on board the "William
IV", which
unfortunately broke her shaft near the False Ducks, and was obliged
to return to Kingston. The "United States" had also
a number of British emigrants who came out by way of New York, for
this Province and she
had also a great many American settlers proceeding from the Eastern
States to Michigan, &c. The "Kingston" steamer came up again yesterday
with 180 emigrants, part of whom were landed in the Newcastle District.
More than
half of those landed here from the "United States" and "Kingston" steamers
have since proceeded to the head of the Lake. The "United
Kingdom" came
in this morning. She brought up about eighty emigrants, nearly half
of whom were landed at Cobourg or Port Hope. The "Great Britain" came
up at noon today. She left Prescott with 470 emigrants (two third
Irish)
about 150 of whom were left at Cobourg and at Port Hope, and the
rest disembarked here. She had 40 cabin passengers and a heavy cargo
of freight.
The whole number who have arrived this season at the different ports
in this section of the Province, from Quebec and from New York, can
be little less than two thousand five hundred. In looking over the
late
Irish papers, we perceive that the emigration from that country,
is expected to be greater this season than in any former year."--York
Courier, May 29.
The paper also mentions that the Quebec agent was
trying to get captains
of the Atlantic ships to comply with the "Capitation Tax" (this
was a tax on each immigrant to pay for the immigration facilities
such
as Grosse
Isle). He also mentions a few wrecks:
"Mr. B. begs to return his
thanks to the several Masters of vessels who brought up from Gaspe,
St. Paul's,
and other parts of the Gulf, a number of ship-wrecked Emigrants;
and for the liberal treatment they received. To the Agents of the
several
Steamboats, Mr. Buchanan's thanks are also justly due, for their
readiness in granting gratuitous passages to Montreal, to several
shipwrecked Emigrants
and other persons whom the Chief Agent considered proper objects
for such charity."
One of the wrecks was the brig "Isabella" and
the Schooner Dolphin picked up 36 of the survivors and took them
to Miramichi May
27 the rest were taken to Quebec. The "Proselyte", of Limerick, with
223 passengers was also wrecked but all "have been safely landed
to Richibucto in a lamentable state of misery..." The other vessel
with 290 passengers is not named. The "Astrea" was also wrecked
but some 249 lives were lost.

| In the ship Alfred, arrived at New York from Liverpool, there came six
missionaries for Upper Canada, a reinforcement from the British Wesleyan
Conference, viz. Rev. Messrs. Slight, Scott, Steer, Doase, Gladwin and Rea. Mr.
Steer, we understand, is to be stationed at Kingston.
The St George has made an alteration in her downward trip. By leaving Niagara at
an earlier hour, she will arrive at Kingston early on Thursday morning, instead of
at noon. (Montreal Gazette, July 24, 1834) |

| On Thursday last, the brig Nelson sailed from Maryport, for Quebec, with 158 full
passengers, all from Scotland-and in the fullness of health and spirits. The
emigrants were people of respectability, generally of the rural class, some of them
possessing property to considerable amount, and each seemingly animated by the
determination to secure, by perseverance and industry, an independent competency
in the Western world. The passengers from Dumfries-shire and Galloway,
mustered under the auspices of Mr R. Neilson, Dumfries, immediately before
sailing, presented that individual with a handsome and valuable musical box.
Silver mounted, and bearing an inscription highly flattering and appreciative of
Mr. N.'s zealous attentions to their comforts and welfare.-Dumfries Courier, June
11.
Saturday the brig Czar sailed from Greenock for New York, with 110 passengers,
and the brig Cartha for Quebec, with 200. The total amount of emigration from
Greenock this season to New York is 1,393; to the British Colonies, 687. A
number of other vessels are on the berth, and emigrants for embarkation are
pouring in. (Montreal Gazette, July 29, 1834.) |

Montreal Gazette August 1, 1834
We have frequently heard the character of emigrant ships from Ireland
declared to be worse than that of those concerned in the slave trade
from Africa; the account given by the passengers of the Thomas
Gelston from Londonderry, substantiates the opinion. The passengers by this vessel
state the number including children to have been somewhere from 450 to
517, They were nine weeks on the passage and suffered much from want
of water and provisions. - Besides two tiers of berths on the sides,
the vessel was filled with a row of berths down the centre, between which
and the side berths there was only a passage of about three feet. The
passengers were thus obliged to eat in their berths, each of which contained
a great many persons say five and upwards. In one were a man, his wife,
his sister, and five children; in another were six full grown young women,
while that above them contained five men, and the next one eight men.
These statements are given on the concurrent testimony of several passengers.
Fortunately, a succession of fine weather enabled them to keep the hatches
open; in a storm they would have been smothered. Although these people
landed safely at Grosse Isle, a great deal of sickness has broke out
among them since. A part of them came up by the Canadian Eagle on Wednesday
[August 6?], from which about a dozen persons were taken to the cholera
hospital soon after their arrival.
Daily Advertiser [Montreal]
TO THE EDITOR OF THE QUEBEC GAZETTE SIR,-
Being desirous of ascertaining
the practical effects of the plan proposed by the Sanitary Committee
of the Common Council, in their address to His Excellency the Governor
in Chief, of the 9th inst., I beg to suggest the expediency of hiring
a schooner, to be anchored at the mouth of the river St. Charles. That
on the first day when Fahrenheit's thermometer will range from about
90 to 96 degrees, the members of the Committee accompanied by their Secretary
to record occurences, and attended by the Physician and Surgeon of the
Marine Hospital, to watch symptoms &c., do proceed on board the schooner,
there to remain in strict quarantine for at least forty eight hours.
That their diet, during this period, be sailor's biscuit, salt beef or
pork, oatmeal and potatoes, with the river water, and nothing else as
a drink. That they be placed in every respect, as nearly as possible,
in a situation similar to that of healthy passengers arriving in a clean
vessel, or from Grosse Isle. That, at the expiration of the eight-and-forty
hours, the schooner be boarded by competent medical practicioners, who
will require from each individual, but more especially from the professional
gentlemen on board, a particular statement of all circumstances which
may have occurred during the period of quarantine. If it appears that
all have been healthy, that no case of sickness, nor any premonitory
symptoms exist, it may then be time to take into consideration the proposed
plan of keeping a clean vessel, with a healthy crew and healthy passengers,
forty-eight hours at the mouth of the river St. Charles; excluded from
all communication with the shore, and exposed to the rays of a burning
sun, without the possibilty of shelter, without water, other than that
of the river, which is always injurious to strangers; and subject also
to all inconveniences attendant on a crowded vessel in a hot climate.
But, until the proposers of this plan prove its efficacy, by actual and
repeated experiments on themselves, they must not feel surprised that
some who look to facts in preference to crude theory, should differ from
them in opinion, and look upon their suggestions as tending to originate
and propagate disease, instead of preventing its dissemination.
