Deaths:—
At Toronto, on the 24th ultimo, Mr. Robert Heron, printer, aged 24. On his being taken to the hospital, an interesting young woman, to whom he was about to be married, applied for permission to see him, declaring she was his sister. She was admitted and kissed the dying youth, showing great affection for him. Three hours afterwards she was brought to the same hospital, far gone of cholera, and her pillow was the pillow of the cold grave.

At Toronto on the 22nd ultimo, Robert William Prentice, Esq., brother to Henry S. Prentice, Esq., agent to the Earl of Caledon, Ireland. Mr. Prentice took his wife's death, which occurred the previous week, so much to heart, that it probably hastened his own dissolution. They both died of the prevailing epidemic, leaving four infant children, four thousand miles from their nearest relative.

At Toronto, on the 26th ultimo, Mr. Sydney Smith, apothecary, &c. He went about the city administering medicine for the cholera, and before he died he took the remedies for his own case which he had offered to others. He has left a wife and seven children in good circumstances.

Deaths:—
At Quebec, on the 29th ultimo, Captain Lawrence Rennison, of the bark Kingston, aged 54.

At Hamilton, on the 27th ultimo, Mr. William Cattermole, father of Mr. W. Cattermole, Canada Company Agent, aged 64.

At Hamilton, on the 18th ultimo, after a few hours illness, Mr. Matthew Bell Henderson, a native of England, clerk in the Commissioner of Crown Lands Office ; a young gentleman of pleasing manners and valuable accomplishments, who in life enjoyed the esteem of all his acquaintances, and in death takes with him, their regret.

[the Ronaldson family sailed on the brig Conference, which departed Leith on May 28th 1834 with 142 settlers, arrived first at Grosse Isle on July 29th and then at the port of Quebec on August 6th with only 110 settlers. The vessel was turned back to the Quarantine Station and detained for nearly a month. There were 19 deaths at Grosse Isle Hospital, mostly from cholera]

The first fatal accident of this kind since the introduction of steamers on the St. Lawrence, in 1811, — twenty-three years ago, — unfortunately occurred yesterday, (Sunday [7th Sept ?]) about four o'clock A.M., on board the steamer Lady of the Lake, Captain Nickless. The vessel was just leaving the Queen's Wharf, for Montreal, and had cast off all her moorings but one, when the explosion took place, and was heard by some of the persons on deck to make a noise like the discharge of a musket. The party exposed to the steam which escaped, occupied a middle cabin, and like many of the passengers that trip, had slept on board. They were, at the time of the accident, all in bed, with the key of the door turned, by which the steam was unable to escape. We give the details before the inquest held this day.
Two inquests were being held this morning on the bodies of the unfortunate individuals who met their deaths on board the Lady of the Lake. They were in easy circumstances and came in the brig Conference, Captain Buchan, from Leith, sent back to the Quarantine Station, and and detained for near a month.
There were eight individuals in the cabin at the time of the explosion, six of whom have died. The two survivors, Jane Ronaldson, aged two years and Robert Ronaldson, aged seven weeks, are still in a very dangerous state. The first inquest was held on the bodies of William Ronaldson, aged twenty-nine years ; Ellen Ronaldson, aged twenty-nine years ; Ellen Ronaldson, aged six years ; Archibald Ronaldson, aged four years ; Thomas Moffat, aged four months ; who all died in less than twenty-four hours after the accident. The next inquest was upon the body of Grace Purvis, aged twenty years, who expired this morning. .........edited......... We understand that Mr. Ronaldson and his wife were from Leith, in Scotland, or the neighbourhood of that town. A brother of Mr. R. is supposed to reside at Bytown, on the Ottawa ; another at Philadelphia ; and he had himself lately returned from Van Dieman's Land. They had with them all their family, and a respectable young servant woman, Grace Purvis. We learn that there is very little expectation that the two surviving children will recover. The bodies which were shockingly scalded could not be recognised. They are all deposited ...... missing text

...from the Sept. 13th issue, Montreal Gazette
There were some slight inaccuracies in our account of the of the persons who were victims to the explosion of the Lady of the Lake on Sunday. Grace Purvis was not a servant to Mr. Ronaldson, but sister-in-law to Mr. Moffat, whose wife died of cholera while the Conference was detained at quarantine, leaving one child about six weeks old. Grace Purvis had just gone to the berth, for Mrs. Ronaldson to give suck to the child Thomas Moffat, when the accident happened. The two surviving children are under the care of Mr. McCombich, upholsterer, and we understand little hope is held for their recovery.

[Margaret (Purvis) Moffat, aged twenty-nine years, died of cholera at Grosse Isle, on August 31st 1834.]
