Ship
Arrivals at the Port of Quebec, 1823
The following information on arrivals, due to the condition
of the papers, has been taken from
various sources including the Montreal Gazette, Montreal Herald,
and the Canadian Courant & Montreal Advertiser.
note: if ships' rigging or name of Master unpublished, it is indicated
by -- (The newspapers were often filmed within their binding, making
one side of some entries, unreadable, or only partly legible. This can
lead
to
errors in the interpretation of the entry or missed entries. ) Be aware
that there may be two or more ships of the same name, from the same,
or different ports, during the same year. A few ships also made two trips
in 1823.

By the arrival of the Cadmus, Capt. Whitlock, in 48 days from Havre, we are put in
possession of Paris advices to the 30th of June.
Invisible Cement.–Isinglass boiled in Spirits of Wine will produce a fine transparent
Cement, which will unite broken glass so as to render the fraction almost
imperceptible.
Newspapers in Schools.–The Editor of the Windsor Journal, says he received an
order a few days since for a supply of his paper to be used in a public school. Many
advantages would doubtless, result from this practice, as children generally “seize
with avidity a newspaper, and find in its variety sufficient attraction to render study
a pleasure instead of an irksome task, performed only through fear of the ferula.”
The Editor also well observes, that there will be no objections in point of morality to
the newspaper being admitted as a weekly visitor in the family. A judicious master,
(and schoolmasters should be of this character,) would select the most appropriate
and useful parts of the weekly about....

The fine weather at the close of last week has materially altered the appearance of
the country in this District; much of the grain is already fit for harvesting, and the
hay has mostly been got in, though, generally speaking, not in a good
condition.–Mercury.

The ship Canton, Capt. O. Sullivan, arrived at this port on Saturday evening, from
Cadiz, whence she sailed on the 10th of July. She brings newspapers and letters to
that date inclusive. We have availed ourselves of all the translations which appear in
the morning papers. These translations are chiefly interesting, from the view they
give us of the activity, spirit, and good feeling which prevail among the besieged
Constitutionalists in Cadiz. It affords us a high degree of satisfaction, moreover, to
learn, that Cadiz is well provisioned, and that so far, all the precautionary measures
of the French Admiral, have had little effect in preventing the arrival of vessels with
provisions. Upwards of forty arrivals are mentioned in a single day. The intelligence
from without is not important. The accounts of the movements of the several
Constitutionalists corps, are so ???, and so confirmed[?], that we must conclude the
French have cut off all communications, leaving the government to collect what they
can from traders who arrive coastwise....

The Ship Hebe, which arrived in our harbour on Saturday, has brought out a party of
settlers, sent from Ireland, pursuant to the plan which we lately noticed, and which
will next year be acted upon more extensively:–They proceed to Upper Canada at
Government expense, and we understand are to receive provisions until twelve
months after their arrival at the Settlements, where it is proposed to locate
them.–Mercury.

Emigration.–The Steam Boats Lady Sherbrooke,
and New Swiftsure arrived here last week from Quebec, on board the first
there were 287, and in the latter 277 Irish Emigrants, being a part of those
for whom passages were provided under the superintendence of Mr.
Robinson,
as formerly noticed. We understand that another
vessel is now on the way from Ireland with a full cargo of settlers, and that
many more may be expected in the spring. The measurers taken by Government
are well
calculated to ensure success to the Emigrants in this country, and to relieve
the inhabitants of both Quebec and Montreal, from a very unpleasant burthen
with with
[sic] the former wretched state of these wanderers taxed their humanity.–The
Emigrants are now to receive a free passage, and provisions, and to be forwarded
at government expence from the place of their landing to the spot laid out for
their
intended location, and to be put in immediate possession of the quantity of land
allotted to each, free of every charge. A special order from Lord Bathurst has
been received in this country, directing that the Emigrants shall receive one
years rations,
to commence from the period they take possession of the land, and to be distributed
in proportion to the number of each family. They are also to be provided with
farming utensils, and one set of bedding for each.–We have heard likewise,
(but we
cannot vouch for it) that a cow is to be added to each family.–This mode
cannot fail of producing the good consequences which the government is so desirous
of
effecting. On the arrival of the Emigrants by the Steam Boats above mentioned,
fifty eight carts, and two caleshes were procured at this place to convey them
and their
baggage to LaChine, on their way to the townships recently laid out on the south
side of the Ottawa, or Grand River–during the period of their remaining
at LaChine
they occupied the Government Barracks.–They were accompanied by Doctors
Dickson and Hamilton, gentlemen of excellent character, and eminent for
professional abilities.
On Sunday morning last between the hours of 8 and 9 o’clock a smart shock of an
Earthquake was experienced at Cham-plain, [sic] it was instantanious, [sic] but the
rumbling noise was distinctly heard for upwards of a minute–our informent could
not tell whether any damage was done by this Phoenomenon, as he left the place
shortly after it occurred.

English vessels that wished to enter that port.–The frigate succeeded in procuring
their entrance.–American vessels are said to pay no respect to the blockade and to
enter and sail at pleasure.

Western Canal–It is supposed that the waters of the Western Canal will be joined to the Hudson the first week in October, and great preparations are making at Albany
to celebrate the arrival of the first boat. Committees of arrangement, on the part of
the citizens, and of the corrporation have been appointed, and it is expected that the
military will unite in the joyous demonstration. Com. Adv.
From the Baltimore American of Wednesday.
We have received Havana papers of the 6th inst they contain the notification of the
declaration of war by Spain against France, then for the first time only it would
seem, officially communicated by the Spanish Government to the Captain General
of Cuba.
...At the time the Dart sailed, affairs at Havana were perfectly tranquil.
The U.S. brig Spark and two small schrs, arrived the day before....
The American papers mention that a most destructive Fever prevails at Natches; the
intemperate, or those of irrigular [sic] habits, are said to suffer most.
At Parkersburgh in Virginia, a Fever has made its appearance, many valuable
members of society have fell victims to it.

Melancholy Wreck of the Brig Monarch, of Aberdeen, Alexander Martin, Master, on St. Paul’s Island, in the Gulph of St. Lawrence.
On Sunday morning, the 14th Sept. At 3, A.M. the Monarch, bound from Newry to Quebec, in a thick fog and wind southerly, struck on a sunken rock on the south-east
side of the Island of St. Paul; but fortunately for the crew and passengers, she beat
over it and came in contact with the cliffs of the Island. There were thirty persons on
board when the vessel struck, twelve of them seamen, the others passengers, five of
whom were drowned and many of the remainder dreadfully wounded by the rocks.
The Captain and crew, who were particularly active in their endeavours to save the
lives of the passengers, fortunately sustained but trifling injury. The method they
adopted to get on shore, was by cutting away the masts which fell on the rocks, and
by the greatest exertions twenty-five of their number succeeded in getting to land.
The vessel held together but ten minutes after they were landed, and the whole of
the passengers and part of the crew being at rest when she struck, they were
consequently cast naked on shore. In this deplorable state they remained three days
on the Island without any thing to subsist on but a few pieces of pork which
fortunately floated on shore from the wreck, and which they were obliged to eat raw,
some clothing which also come on shore assisted in port [sic] to cover their
nakedness. Luckily on the morning of the 17th, the Ship Generous Planter, of London, from this port, hove in sight off the Island, and perceiving their signals,
succeeded in bringing them all on board, and rescuing them from their perilous
situation. The Captain, (Woodford) afforded them every assistance which their
distresses required and is deserving the greatest praise for his humane and
gentlemanly conduct towards them. The Captain, Mate, and on passenger, went
home in the Generous Planters; [sic] the remainder have arrived here in the Sir Jas. Kempt, to which vessel they were transferred by Capt. Woodford. Capt.
Stewart, of the Sir J. Kempt, rendered them every assistance which his means
would allow, and is equally entitled to their gratitude.
Two of the passengers were preachers, one of the Presbyterian, and the other of the
Methodist persuasion.
A Subscription List is open at the Exchange for the relief of the surviving suffereres
[sic] by the above wreck, who from the loss of their all, may justly be considered fit
objects for public commiseration and beneficence.

A singular occurrence took place at the launch of the Ship General Wolfe, from the
Yard of Mr. Bell, in this City [Montreal], a few days ago. When the shores, &c. had
been removed and the last wedge applied, the vessel unaccountably hung upon the
ways; several fruitless efforts were made to put her in motion, at length one of her
crew, half seas over, remarked that “the General had not been shaved, and no soldier
officer he knew would ever quit his quarters without that operation being first
performed,” he accordingly took some oakum and black paint and proceeding over
the bows, envisaged the figure head & trimmed the General to his own taste, giving
his whiskers the most martial cut imaginable; scarcely had the humourous shaver
half alarmed at the successful issue of his jest, regained the deck just in time to
avoid the shock which consigned the good ship to her destined eliment, [sic] amidst
te loud huzzas of the mystified multitude, many of whom went home completely
satisfied that the launch was affected by the jocular necromancy of the honest
tar.–Mer.
From the N.Y.E. Post.
Red River Establishment–Earl Selkirk’s establishment on the Red River of
Hudson’s Bay, appears to be on the eve of breaking up. Two Swiss families who left
it and arrived at St. Louis, state that the whole of the Scots and Swiss located there
were about to evacuate the country, owing to the extreme severity of the weather,
and the constant dread they were under of being attacked by the Indians. There had
been an engagement between the Sacs and Sioux Indians in which the former had 7
killed and 12 or 15 wounded, and the latter 11 killed & 12 wounded.
Quebec, Oct. 7th.
We are sorry to announce the loss of two vessels bound to this port, near Cape Ray.
The brig Emma, Captain Cockin, owned by Mr. Finch, of this city; from Liverpool,
in ballast, and the Schr. Penryn Castle, from Halifax, with military clothing. The
clothing and the crew of the latter vessel, with the exception of one man who was
unfortunately lost, have been brought up by the Bark Duck, from Newfoundland.
Galvanic Apparatus–A new and powerful apparatus has been constructed at the
London Institution by the ingeninus [sic] W.H. Pepys, Esq. It consists of a single
sheet of copper and one zinc, each 50 feet long and 2 feet broad. They are wound
round a wooden centre, and kept apart by pieces of interposed hair-lines. The coil
and its counterpoise are suspended by a rope over a tub of a dilute acid. When
lowered into the tub, its electricity is so low as not to affect the electrometer; even a
bit of charcoal serves to insulate it, and it can hardly ignite an inch of plattnum [sic]
wire of one thirtieth of an inch diameter; but when the poles are connected by a
copper wire of 1/8 inch diameter and 8 inches long, it becomes hot, is most
powerfully magnetic, and admirably adapted for all electro magnetic experiments.

Intercourse with Europe.–We lately mentioned that four packet ships were building
at Liverpool, for the purpose of establishing a regular intercourse between that port
and Charleston. The Lella Rookh, arrived at the latter place in the remarkable short
passage of 23 days, in one of these ships, and is described in the Charleston papers
as an elegant and convenient vessel, measuring 330 tons: her windlass works by iron
machinary (an endless screw on wheels) her pumps are of a new construction, and
she is steered by an improved simple and compact wheel apparatus....
The competition among the steam boats on the Clyde is at present so great, that
some of them carry passengers from Glasgow to Campbeltown, a distance of
upwards of a hundred miles, for the charge of half a crown.
We understand that a letter from an officer of the 29th foot states, that that
distinguished corps is to embark for Canada in the Spring.
Ben Jonson the Poet.–As the workmen were excavating a vault in the north aisle of
Westminster Abbey, last week to receive the remains of the wife of Sir Robert
Wilson, they discovered at the head of it, a leaden coffin in a perpendicular position,
which they found upon examination, to contain the skeleton entire of Ben Jonson,
the poet.–Tradition states, that Ben Jonson, while he was seriously indisposed, was
asked where he would be buried? He replied, “I will be intered in Westminster
Abbey if I can get a foot of ground;” and that the Dean of Westminster gave
sufficient ground (about two foot square) to admit the coffin in a perpendicular
position, and a square hole was dug and the corpse admitted head downwards. At
the top of the hole, a stone, about eighteen inches square, was found with the initials
“B.J.” upon it, in rather illegible characters.–London Paper.
Upper Canada.
The Tobacco in the Western District is this season very promising. Towards the
close of last month sharp frosts materially injured what was still on the ground. We
are happy to learn however, that the greater part of the crop had been previously
secured.
Niagara, Oct. 4.–The wheat crop were got in in good order, and would have been an
excellent crop had it not been for the Hessian Fly, which greatly injured many fine
fields; still, however, there is much good wheat in the Country.

A coroner’s inquest was last week held on the body of Wm. Potter, a native of
England, who was drowned in the St. Lawrence, near the foot of the Current St.
Marie. It appeared before the Inquest, that the deceased went to the river with his
cart, and a puncheon to procure water, and not being acquainted with the depth, the
cart sunk below the surface of the water and the puncheon floated on the stream.
The weight of the cart under water overturned the horse, and in the efforts which the
deceased made for the recovery, of the puncheon, and the preservation of himself
and horse, he was unfortunately drowned!–Verdict, “accidental death.”
The Orphean Society gave a Concert at the Mansion House on Monday evening last,
in aid of the funds of the Montreal General Hospital.–A numerous, and fashionable
audience attended, and we understand they were highly gratified by the efforts of the
Gentlemen amateurs. The net proceeds we are informed will amount to about £45.
Casualty–On Thursday afternoon, one of the fire men on board the New Swifture
Steam-Boat, being employed on some duty near the engine, was unfortunately
caught in a part of the machinery and so dreadfully crushed that he survived the
accident but a few minutes. The deceased was a native of Ireland, named James
Dooris.–Times.
On the same evening a person by the name of Fortin, belonging to Sorel, fell from
the Steam Boat Telegraph, and was drowned. He was taken from the water about
ten minutes after having fallen, but life was extinct. In the endeavours to save him
the Telegraph was loosened from her moorings, and a very strong wind drove her
directly against Goudie’s wharf, in such a manner that she was not extricated
without considerable injury.
On the night of Wednesday last the New Swiftsure in endeavouring to pass from
Goudie’s Wharf in Quebec, up the river, to put some freight on board a brig; the
night being very dark and snow falling, she ran directly afowl of the ship Dublin, which vessel had not, as is prescribed by law, a light exhibited. The shock was terrible; the Steam Boat being under full headway. The left wing of the Swifture coming in contact with the laboard bows of the Dublin, her stancheons were broken in, her cut-water injured, and her bob-stays broken.--No very serious injury was sustained. The Dublin suffered more seriously; her bulwarks were broken in; her rigging damaged, and her chain plates so much injured, as to be declared not sea-worthy.--Times.

Orphan Assylum.–We understand that the paintings
lately announced in the Herald as intended for exhibition in aid of the funds
of this excellent institution, are now
arranged, and will be opened to the public this day. We are convinced the
benevolent motives of the Gentleman to whom the paintings belong, will be duly
appreciated by the public, and that the charitable purpose for which he has so
generously permitted these valuable pictures to be exhibited, will continue to
receive that encouragement which the liberality of our citizens have hertofore
bestowed on
the distressed Orphans, who have been supported, protected, and educated in the
assylum. [sic] Tickets may be had at the Book Stores by those who have
not an
opportunity of obtaining them, from the Ladies who direct the institution.

Quebec, Oct. 30th
The Brig Royal Oak, Capt. Darley, outward bound from Quebec to Hull, was totally
lost on the morning of the 15th ult. Off Cape Rosier. She sailed on the 11th, and until
the 14th experienced nothing unfavorable; on that day the wind began to blow strong
from the N. East, and by the following morning had increased to such violence, as to
compel the ship to lie to. In this situation a heavy sea struck her, which carried away
her stanchions, bulwarks, boats and deck load, starting at the same time her deck
timbers; this caused the vessel to fill rapidly, and she shortly fell over, but in about
ten minutes righted again, with the loss of the foremast and bowsprit, and three of
the crew, the 2d mate, cook and a boy; the remainder, consisting of the Captain,
Mate, carpenter, 4 seaman and 2 boys, now used their endeavor to get to the fore-part of the vessel, and all succeeded except the 2 boys, who were washed over by the
violence of the waves. Here they remained some hours, benumbed with cold and
exhausted with exertion; in the course of which time two of the seaman died.
Towards evening, the rest (5 in number) got into the main-top, where they remained,
with the exception of the Captain, who returned on deck the same night, and was
washed overboard, until the 19th, when the Ship Margaret, Capt. Creighton, from
Hull hove in sight, and immediately despatched two of her boats to the wreck, which
brought off the survivors who were in a shocking state of debility for want of food,
and having their hands and feet severely frost bitten. From Capt. C. They gratefully
acknowledge to have received every mark of kindness and attention that humanity
can bestow; and by him were they landed at Quebec on Monday last.
Names of the survivors, Mathew Gresswood, 1st Mate, John Green, Carpenter,
Charles Shuttleworth and Robert Smith, seamen. The Mate and the two seamen are
in the Emigrants’ Hospital, in a fair way to recover.
The following gives a comparative view of the number of vessels and their arrived
tonnage at the port of Quebec up to the 30th October 1822 and the same late this
year.

From the Philadelphia Gazette
By the schr. Mary Washington, Captain Kea, we have received Jamaica papers to
the 29th ult.
In an article under the St. Vincent head, it is stated that the two missionaries who
have been arrested at Demerara, on suspicion of having excited the blacks to
rebellion are named Eliot and Smith, and that they are agents of the London
Missionary Society not of the Wesleyan, as has been erroneously reported.
Destruction of Vera Cruz.–The Baltimore Patriot of yesterday, says:–“The schr.
Camilla, from Vera Cruz, in 15 days, has just anchored at quarantine. It is said she
brings accounts that the town had been razed to the ground, by the castle of St. Juan
d’Ulna.”

The Camillus, outward bound for Liverpool, grounded on Hare Island Shoal last
Monday, 3d inst. And lost her rudder; but we believe received no injury. The mate
has returned to Quebec for a new rudder which was despatched on Friday last, and
to procure such assistance as may be necessary. It is thought she will soon again
proceed on her voyage.
New-York, Nov. 6

A Passenger in the Steam Boat Quebec, who left her at Portneuf, informs us that
such was the quantity and power of the ice running in the river between that place
and Quebec, that a considerable hole was cut in her bows, and had not the greatest
expedition been used in shifting the freight and placing in the after part of the vessel,
she must have filled in a very short time. She was run aground in order to be
repaired; and it was thought that the mildness of the weather on Friday and Saturday
would make it practicable for her to reach town. The coldness of the weather
subsequently, must have prevented it.–Times.
On Sunday morning as the Steam Boat Montreal was leaving the wharf at Laprairie
for this place, the crosshead of her engine broke, which was occasioned by the frost.
This is the only accident that has happened to the Montreal during the whole
season; and will prevent her running again this year; as soon as her engine is
repaired she will proceed to her wintering ground at La Tortue.–Times.
Lost.
Supposed to have been taken by Mistake from on board the Steam-boat New-Swiftsure, on Monday the 10th, Instant, a Case marked J.S. addressed Thos.
Madigan, Grocer Place D’Armes, Montreal. Whoever may have the above case and
will forward it to the above address, or to this Office will oblige the
Subscriber, who will pay any expence, that may be incurred.
Thos. Madigan.
