| Emigration |
| The season for emigration, which enlivens the towns and villages
of this Province, and increases the circulation of money, is now at
hand ; the St. Lawrence being nearly free from ice, according to the
statements of the Lower Canada papers, and numerous steamboats that
ply on our lakes, will shortly come freighted with new settlers to
increase our trade, wealth and population. A great number of the poorer
class of emigrants will, probably, settle on the lands of the Lower
Canada Company, unless that Company to whose exertions this Province
is so much indebted, uses its best efforts to keep the tide of emigration
flowing in the direction which they gave it. Bone and muscle are wanted
in this Province, as well as wealth, to subdue the wilderness ; and
no man possessed of health and industry can be called a pauper, provided
he is willing to earn a livelihood, though the revolutionists have
dared to the term to emigrants. We can point out a number of large
villages that have been raised chiefly by emigrants in the last five
years, among which are Guelph, Goderich, London &c. &c. In directing
the attention of emigrants to this part of Upper Canada, we do no more
than our duty, as no other part of North America is thriving more rapidly,
nor does there any other offer more inducements to new settlers. Labourers
and Mechanics get abundant employment and high wages ; the lands are
good and moderate in price ; imported articles are retailed nearly
as cheap in this town as in Montreal, and we have an excellent cash
market for produce of every description. To the farmer, the mechanic
and labourer, this town and the surrounding country offer a home, such
as can be met with in few other parts of the world, and we trust more
will settle in them next season than did in any preceding one. — Hamilton

| from the May 20th issue of the Montreal Gazette |
| It has always been of much gratification to us, to record the interchange
of good offices which frequently ensue on the termination of the voyage,
between Captains of vessels and their passengers. On her late voyage,
in consequence of the illness of Capt. Sparks, the Esther was, at an
extremely short notice, placed under the command of Captain Winby,
who was consequently exposed to many inconveniences and annoyances,
which might otherwise have been avoided. The cabin passengers, appreciating
his skill as a seaman, and his personal kindness, requested his acceptance
of a neat silver snuff-box, the presentation of which gave rise to
the following correspondence. |
| Montreal,May 14th 1834 |
Sir, — We, the undersigned, the cabin passengers on board the
ship Esther, under your command, in her recent voyage from Liverpool,
beg to return you our cordial and sincere thanks for your urbanity
and kindness during the passage, and beg your acceptance of the accompanying
silver snuff-box, as a small testimony of our kindest and best wishes
for your future welfare and happiness.
The circumstances under which you were placed, in taking charge of
the ship at the moment of her sailing, and the difficulties under which
you were subsequently laboured, have excited our warm approbation of
your seamanship and conduct as a gentleman. We are, Sir, your most
obedient and obliged humble servants. |

| To Captain William Winby |

| To S. Washburn, Esq. and the other cabin passengers of the ship Esther. |
| Esteemed Friends. — I am truly gratified by your note of today,
and beg to return my unfeigned thanks for the high compliment you have
been pleased to pay me. The handsome token of your appreciation which
is conveyed will, I assure you, be always held dear. Conceiving that
I merely did my duty on the passage, it is still exceedingly gratifying
to find that I have won the good opinion of so respectable and intelligent
a body of passengers, and it shall be my anxious endeavour to merit
for the future a continuance of such confidence and kindness. I am,
with the greatest respect, your sincere friend and obedient servant, |

The new ship Cœur de Lion, Captain Sumpton (formerly
of the Margaret), just arrived with a full cargo from Liverpool,
is one of the most substantial,
compact, well-rigged, and well-found of the regular traders, and
is built on a handsome model. She has made a very quick passage out,
although
quite deep. — Quebec Gazette, Monday.
A new ship, named William Springfield, of 303 tons,
was launched this morning from the yard of J.S. Campbell, Esq., at
St. Rocks, formerly
Mr. Goudie's. — Ib. |

| Emigration |
Emigrants from all the agricultural districts of the country are
daily leaving Broomielaw, via the steamers for Greenock,
preparatory to embarkation for the interminable wilds of America.
These people
are principally going by way of New York, and can accurately and
minutely state the course they mean to steer when they they arrive
in Yankee-land,
whether their ultimate destination be the States or Canada. The precision
of the plan of march and final settlement arises from the fact, that
most of the emigrants this season are going to join their relations
who have preceded them in sojourning in the Western World. The emigrants
seem to be of the better agricultural class ; few or none of them
mechanics or manufacturing classes seem to be on the move as yet. — Glasgow
Argus.
Merchants' quay which in better days presented its surface covered
with beef, pork and butter, prepared for shipment, now present a
very different aspect. We see it crowded to excess for the entire
range with men, women and children, all preparing to leave their
homes and families, to seek in America, the country of their adoption,
that subsistence they have in vain looked for at home. Along side
the quay are six ships receiving the hosts of emigrants who had fortunately
engaged their berths early, whilst also at every ship are to be found
groups lamenting that they had not been more timely in their applications
and are now doomed to await further arrivals in order to engage their
passages. The Pallas dropped down to the Cove on Tuesday evening
with 220 emigrants on board. — Cork Chronicle.
The ship Onondaga, of and from Waterford, was towed
down the river yesterday evening on her voyage to Quebec [arrived
May 13th], by the Gipsey steamer,
as far as the Passage. There are not less than 212 of our fellow
countrymen embarked in this truly fine vessel for the New World,
and many of these being cabin passengers, present an appearance of
respectability much beyond the usual grade of American adventurers
from Ireland. Three other vessels are to sail in the course of the
week. On Monday morning the fine brig Penelope sailed
from Youghal for Quebec, with 240 passengers. On Wednesday, the Recovery sails
with 200 more for the same destination. Six large vessels are now
in port receiving passengers for North America. — Limerick
Chronicle.
Our quays are now presenting a lively, yet melancholy scene, owing
the bustle attending the preparations of our fellow countrymen, about
to expatriate themselves, in search of that comfort and independence
which is unfortunately denied them at home. — Waterford
Chronicle.
We learn from Captain Morgan, that the Bolivar and
the Ocean, with
passengers for Quebec, sailed from Waterford before the Onondaga ;
and that in no previous season have so great preparations for emigration
been witnessed in the southern part of Ireland. — Quebec
Mercury. |

this morning, eighty-one square rigged vessels between the port and
the Quarantine Station. When these shall have arrived, which may be
expected by tomorrow, the number of vessels in port on 15th May, will
be about 160, a greater number than any preceding year, at the same
date. — Neilson's Quebec Gazette, Friday |

| The memorandum subjoined was placed on Wednesday afternoon on the
table of the Exchange Reading Room. Some rumours had before been afloat
that deaths had occurred at the Quarantine Station. This rumour is
satisfactorily contradicted. Under all circumstances the advantages
of quarantine cannot, we think, be questioned ; and we trust that the
exemplary manner in which the regulations have been enforced, will
effectively protect us from calamitous return of the malady. :— |
Civil Secretary's Office
Quebec, 14th May 1834 |
Memorandum. — The brig Robert McWilliam, from
Cork, with settlers, is detained under strict quarantine at Grosse
Isle, in consequence
of seven out of ten deaths having occurred during the passage from
common cholera morbus.
The last death took place on the 23rd of April.
The latest accounts from Grosse Isle up to three o'clock P.M. report
that the passengers by the above named vessel are all well. |
| "H. Craig, Civil Secretary" |
| We are authorised to state that the passengers of the Robert
McWilliam,
who were landed at Grosse Isle are reported to be all in good health
and ready to re-embark. They will, however, continue to remain in quarantine,
under observation, as a further precautionary measure. — Quebec

| Three more wrecks have, we are sorry to learn, occurred on the Island
of St. Paul's, on the night of the 7th May, the brig Jane,
the brig
Moon, and the brig Isabella. The
two last had passengers ; the Isabella was
from Drogheda, addressed to Pembertons, and had on board when she struck
170 emigrants. By cutting away one of the masts, the whole were enabled
to get to shore except seven, who were either drowned or perished from
cold. The Captain writes that they have only fifteen days provision,
and entreats that assistance may be sent down. We have not heard the
particulars of the other wrecks. These repeated accidents call loudly
on the Legislature of the Lower Provinces, to unite with this Province
in establishing a sufficient lighthouse on that dangerous Island. — Ib. |
|
The undersigned passengers in the brig Cherub, of
Glasgow, wrecked on Goose Island, would be wanting in gratitude to
Captain Welsh, were
they to delay conveying to him an expression of their thanks, for the
unceasing kindness and attention they experienced at his hands, while
on board of his vessel. To the amiable character, as well as the constantly
cheerful tone of his disposition, they feel themselves indebted for
an alleviation of the tediousness of a sea voyage ; and the order and
regularity observed on board convinced them — as far as they
may be permitted to judge — of his skill in, and knowledge of
his profession. In conclusion, they beg to assure Captain Welsh of
their lasting esteem and regard ; and although their path may lie remote
from his, they will ever recall, with strong feelings of satisfaction,
the few weeks they enjoyed his society.

| [by the master
of the Jane of
Workington] ... After the wreck, we
with difficulty climbed up the rocks ; and reaching the station house,
received from Mr. James Petry a supply of food and clothing, which
we were much in need of. In going to the wreck with the keeper, we
found it had entirely disappeared, and learned the wreck of the Moon and Isabella,
by which we were left on the island with 172 passengers and 33 seamen.
The weather which we have since experienced, makes us
the more solicitous of their being relieved, for it has been dreadful,
and it is very probable that others may have been added to their number
by subsequent shipwrecks.... |

| The emigrants who have arrived this season from the United Kingdom
are generally represented as being in good circumstances — many
of them even as wealthy. The great majority that have passed through
this city are destined for Upper Canada, whereupon the extensive tracts
offered for sale by the Canada Company and the numerous lots annually
sols by the Commissioners of Crown Lands, they are soon comfortably
established, and the vast tide of emigration which we each year witness,
becomes readily absorbed.... |

| Emigration |
Forty English, three Scotch and eight Irish emigrants landed,
last evening, from on board Durham boats at Messrs. Crane, Hooker,
McCutcheon
& Co.'s wharf, in perfect health and tolerable circumstances, all
bound to York. This morning eighty English emigrants arrived, bound
to Cobourg. — Prescott
Gazette, May 20
Emigrants are beginning to arrive in considerable numbers at Port
Stanley. Several waggon loads have passed through this village, within
these few days, for some of the back settlements. — St.
Thomas Liberal, May 15
We perceive by the New York Spectator, that 2,900 emigrants from
the British Isles, had arrived at that port before the 23rd April.
Of those who landed at New York, a considerable portion have found
their way to this port. The Constitution brought about thirty on
Saturday last, and the Queenston a considerable number more in the
course of the week, as she plies daily between this port and Toronto.
Sundays excepted. By accounts selected from British and Irish newspapers,
it appears that emigration will be more extensive this season than
the last, and of fully as respectable a description. We feel it our
duty to treat frequently of this subject, as it is of so much importance
to those who have houses or lands to dispose of, and particularly
so to our Western subscribers, a large proportion of the emigrants
who land here being on their way to Western Canada. — Hamilton
Mercury
Upwards of two thousand persons have left the London docks within
the last three weeks for Upper and Lower Canada, New South Wales,
and New York, and there are no less than twenty large ships now fitting
out in these docks, for conveying passengers to the colonies. Yesterday,
the George Clinton, and American ship, and the Adventure,
a British vessel, left St. Catherine's and London docks with upwards
of 300
emigrants for the United States. Among them are mechanics of every
description, agricultural labourers, excavators and others. The George
Clinton and the Adventure also carry out a great number of cabin
passengers. — London, April 9
The number of persons that have embarked for the American and our
Australian possessions from this port from the 1st January to 31st
March is 4,476. If emigration goes on without a check, the six months
terminating at the Michaelmas quarter will, in the ordinary course,
present larger proportionate numbers ; and it is not improbable that
the whole expatriation of the year will amount to 20,000 souls from
Liverpool alone. — Liverpool Standard
In the early part of the week, Kirkaldy harbour presented a busy
scene, occasioned by the preparations of the vessels for the whale
fishing, and of a number of emigrants about to take their departure
for America. The Isabella, Simpson, sailed on Wednesday
for Quebec, with forty emigrants, calling at Cromarty for an additional
number. — Fifeshire Journal
The tide of emigration has again commenced, and numerous have been
the departuresnfrom Morayshire during the last and beginning of the
week. The Isabella, Simpson, cleared from Cromarty on Tuesday last
for Quebec, with about 100 passengers ; thirty-seven of these were
from Fifeshire, and the remainder were principally from Morayshire.
The sixy who have already taken their departure, are not the only
persons who intend crossing the Atlantic this season, for we have
every reason to believe that the number who will leave Morayshire,
before many weeks elapse, will exceed three hundred. — Elgin
Courier |
|
| 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 |

| We learn that the passengers of the Isabella (ninety-seven
in number,) lately wrecked at Cape Chat, were picked up by the schooner Congress,
arrived here. It appears they all put off from Cape Chat in the long
boat, with a view to come up to Quebec, but were driven down six miles
below the place from which they started, where they were picked up
at midnight. They were in a very distressed condition, and Capt. Robins,
not having sufficient provisions and water to bring them up to Quebec,
put back to Gaspé, the wind being then ahead. They were all landed
at Gaspé, with the exception of a family of four persons, who have
arrived in the Congress. The humane and generous conduct
of Captain Robins deserves the greatest praise. The passengers will
soon find means of coming up to Quebec at Gaspé. The passengers and
crew of the Isabella were forced to leave Cape Chat,
because the public provision posts were without supplies. — Quebec
Gazette, Monday |
|
| The handsome and faithful built ship Tartar, of 579 tons, to be commanded
by our old friend Capt. McColl, well known in the Greenock and Canada
trade, was safely launched on Friday morning last, from the shipyard
of Mr. John Munn. She is to sail for Liverpool about the end of June. — Quebec
Gazette, Monday |
|
| The undermentioned vessels at present laying at Grosse Isle, are
detained under strict quarantine, in consequence of their having sickness
or death on board during the voyage, or upon their arrival ; and no
vessel arriving at the Quarantine Station, under similar circumstances,
will be permitted to proceed on her voyage to Quebec, until it can
be done with the most perfect safety to the public health:— Mary and Brutus,
from Cork ; Thetis and Priscilla,
from Limerick ; William
Fell from Newry ; Recovery and Penelope,
from Youghal ; Hercules, from Annan ; British
Tar, from Portsmouth
; Friends, from Dublin. The total number of deaths
which have taken place at Grosse Isle since the opening of the navigation
season amount to ten ; five of which were children, the eldest six
years old, and some of them in a dying state when landed. No case of
Cholera had occurred either on shore or afloat at the station this
season. Quebec, 26th May. |

Accident.—
As James Walker, the mate of the Amaranth,
recently arrived in port from the West Indies, was going on board his
vessel on Thursday evening, his foot missed the gangway, and the unfortunate
man was precipitated into the river, from which he never again rose.
The captain of the vessel was asleep in his berth, and as the crew
had been discharged the day before, there was no assistance at hand
to extricate the drowning man from his perilous situation. The body
was found next morning, and a Coroner's Inquest held, which returned
a verdict of :Accidental drowning." |
|
Died.—
At the residence of his eldest son, in Toronto, on the 23rd May, the
Honorable D'Arcy Boulton, formerly one of the Judges of His Majesty's
Court of King's Bench in Upper Canada. Mr. Boulton was a Barrister
of the Hon. Society of the Middle Temple, and filled successively
the offices of Solicitor and Attorney General of this Province, having
been for several years a Member of the House of Assembly. He was
born on the 20th May 1759 in Moulton, Lincolnshire, England and
died the 23rd May 1834, aged seventy-five years and three days. |

Another Melancholy Shipwreck:—
Letters from Halifax, by a schooner arrived yesterday, state that the
bark Astrea, from some port in Ireland, (supposed
here to be Limerick,) was wrecked at Louisburg, Cape Breton, on the
7th May instant. Two
hundred and seventy-one passengers, and all hands, with the
exception of three seamen, are reported to have been lost. — Quebec
Gazette, Friday |
|
Before me, Archibald Campbell, His Majesty's
Notary for the District of Quebec, and Notary Public for Lower Canada,
appeared William Wake,
the commander of the brig Margaret, of Newcastle,
who being duly sworn, did declare and say, that William Campbell Laidler,
with ten of his
crew and passengers, from the brig James, of London,
were received on board the Margaret on the 27th
April, the Margaret being then in latitude 44, 20 north, and longitude
47
west. And deponent further declared, that he first saw the James about 6 P.M. and that he lost sight of her about 9 P.M. and deponent
lastly
declared, that in his firm belief, the James foundered shortly after
Captain Laidler reached the Margaret, as she appeared from the manner
in which she lay down, to have a great quantity of water in her.
....... Sworn at Quebec, the 24th May 1834 — William Wake
We have had a conversation with Mr. Downes, the Surgeon of the James,
one of those saved from the vessel, and who signed the statement
subjoined. There is no doubt in his mind that the vessel went down
with all on board. The Margaret, which he was fortunate
enough on gaining, after receiving serious bodily injury while embarking
in
the boat, came to the spot where the James ought
to have been, in an hour or two after he had left her, and she had
then disappeared.
From the condition in which she was left, there can be little doubt
in his mind, that she must have foundered with all on board, or,
at least, by far the greater number. Some chance of a portion being
saved in the boats may exist ; but as the Margaret had
a light out, they very probably would have been enabled to have boarded
her. No list of the passengers has been saved, the Captain's having
been left on board. Their names can now only be exactly ascertained
by reference to the Custom-house books at Limerick. Several of the
families had been well to do in Ireland, and they had with them between £2,000
to £3,000, in gold ; being in most part from Rathkeale and
its neighbourhood, about fourteen miles from Limerick. When the James left
port, deaths by cholera were daily occurring ; but although several
suspicious cases appeared, none had proved fatal on the passage. — Quebec
Gazette, Friday |
| To the Editor of the Quebec Gazette |
Sir, — Allow me the liberty of intruding on your space with
a more accurate detail of the circumstances connected with the loss
of the James, which was rather imperfectly given in
yesterday's Mercury.
We sailed from Limerick on the 8th April, with 251 passengers and a
crew of sixteen. On Friday the 11th, we put out to sea, where, after
a few days, from heavy gales &c. we experienced nothing but a series
of mishaps, having carried away our topmast, studding-sail boom, jib
boom, main sail, foresail, and yard. On Sunday the 25th, at six A.M.
they set about pumping the ship out, but were not long thus engaged
before the pumps were found to be choked by the passengers' potatoes,
which from the rotten description of bags in which they were kept,
went adrift about the hold, filling the pump wells, and preventing
the possibility of working the pumps, which were hoisted on deck, and
a great quantity of potatoes brought away from them ; and to prevent
a recurrence of this on kettles, with holes made in them, were laid
on the bowls [?], which proved ineffectual ; after which, baskets were
substituted, with as little success. Finding the water to increase
to an alarming extent, and a gale from the N.W. springing up, with
a heavy sea, the ship straining very much, we had recourse to the expedient
of baling her out from the fore hatch with buckets and a provision
cask made fast to a tackle ; but the water casks, which were floating
about there, excited the apprehensions of the people, and one passenger,
Henry Morgan, getting three of his fingers broken between two of them,
the attempt was abandoned. About four o'clock P.M. she shipped a sea,
which carried away the lee bulwarks, and was soon struck by a second
still heavier, with the force of which she listed, canting her ballast,
and never returned to an erect position. The water having reached the
between decks, and no chance of saving her presented itself, the captain,
at five o'clock ordered the long boat and skiff to be lowered, as a
sail standing to the southward made its appearance. The passengers
crowded into the skiff while she was within the long boat, and by this
means made it difficult to lower the latter, which, when drawn from
the after-chock, came against the stancheons ; after which, they did
not seem inclined to take further trouble with her. At half past six
we lowered the jolly-boat, in which eleven of us were picked up by
the Margaret, of Newcastle, Captain Wake, to whose
kindness and humanity since we are indebted for our preservation.
The
persons saved are — Captain Laidler ; Robert S. Laidler, his
brother ; Henry Downes, surgeon ; Thomas Enwright, carpenter ; James
Cook, seaman ; Peter Lilly Wall and James Clarke, apprentices, with
Mary Hastings ; Andrew Young ; James Shehan and Edmund Curry, or Cody,
passengers.
Your obedient servant, |
Henry Downes,
Surgeon of the James |

Emigrants are pouring into this city [Montreal] from Quebec, with
astonishing rapidity. We are happy to notice that they proceed to
their respective destinations with all possible haste, and are thus
availing
themselves of the advantages which their early arrival offers to
them. The John Bull yesterday brought up 1,000 souls,
and the other boats are generally crowded. The forwarders, we hear,
can
scarcely dispatch
their boats with sufficient rapidity to satisfy the numerous applicants.
It is a pleasing circumstance to hear that the applications for relief
by the Emigrants of this season are unusually limited, and that a
better class of new settlers have come among us.
The Herald published a few days ago, a statement 0f some
thousands of emigrants, who arrived at "the port of Toronto" by various
vessels
from Greenock, London, Liverpool &c. since the 1st January. As this
fact is of some interest, will the Editor inform us whether these
vessels proceeded to the capital of Upper Canada by way of the St.
Lawrence, or through the Erie and Oswego Canals? |

| Extract of a Private Letter |
Steamer Rideau
Rideau Lake,May 20th 1834 |
| I left Bytown in the Enterprise, of Perth, on Thursday
night, and you may suppose how much this route is now travelled, when
you learn
that we had upwards of thirty cabin, and about one hundred steerage
passengers ; also about seventy-five tons of goods. The boat was completely
crammed, and being so heavily laden got on very slowly and only reached
Perth Landing at two o'clock on Saturday. Being obliged to go to Perth
upon business, I had to remain there until today, waiting for the arrival
of this boat (the Rideau) and I find it almost as
much crowded as the former one was. — There are seven cabin,
and upwards of 150 steerage passengers, besides nearly 100 tons of
goods. The boats are all of them quite too small, and not of sufficient
power to carry the quantity of goods they do, besides towing a large
barge ; they cannot possibly reach Kingston from Bytown in less than
three days, which with the two days coming up to Bytown, will make
five days in reaching Kingston. — It is by far the best route
for Emigrants ; being in a covered barge, they are quite independent
of the weather, and are not subject to such delays and fatigue as in
coming up the St. Lawrence. As they have lowered the freight of goods
to 2s. 9d. it is by far the cheapest and easiest way of getting them
up, and they must arrive in much better order than by the river. The
route by the Rideau is a most interesting one — the sail up the
Ottawa, to any person who has not seen that nobel river, is most attractive,
and with the fine scenery about Bytown he will be delighted. As far
as I have proceeded along the Rideau Canal, I have been very much pleased
with it — the locks are the finest and most substantial I have
ever seen — the Canal is generally 200 yards in width, and looks
more like a navigable river than a Canal, we having only passed through
as yet about a mile of excavation, the rest having been formed by damming
up the Rideau river. While at Bytown I visited Mr. McKay's mills near
that place, and I certainly think they are the finest in Canada. |
