Arrivals at the Port of Quebec, 1825
The following information on arrivals, due to the condition
of the papers, has been taken from
various sources including the Montreal Gazette MG, Montreal
Herald MH,
and the Canadian Courant & Montreal Advertiser CC.
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or name of Master unpublished, it is indicated by -- (The newspapers were often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 1825.

Extracts from London Papers, from 1st to 4th November, 1824
Elopement:— On Saturday last on
the arrival of the Rockingham coach at the Rein Deer Inn,
Dorcester,
a young girl from Darlington (imprudently on a trip to
town with a London lover) was fortunately overtaken by
her brother,
who had pursued the fugitives on horseback. The lady was
instantly handed down, and the disappointed admirer, who
is well known to the brother, quietly relinquished all
claims to his prize, and proceeded on his journey. After
a short remonstrance the ring was doffed, and the runaway
consented to return to her almost distracted friends.

STEAM NAVIGATION |
| |
The advantages of steam navigation are extending themselves
daily in every part of Europe. A plan has just been formed for
establishing a regular communication by steam boats on the great
Canal of the Two Seas, in the south of France. As the boat with
lateral wheels in common use would present numerous difficulties
in canal navigation, a new kind of boat with a single wheel in
the stern has been invented by Messrs. Aynard, of Lyons . . .
. The passage boats are to be 86 feet long by 15 broad, handsomely
fitted up with cabins and other conveniences . . . . It is calculated
that the light steamboats will run from Toulouse to Bezieres,
133 miles by the canal, in 32 hours, allowing 7 minutes each
for the passage of 78 locks. The present passage boats take 78
hours for the same distance. |

LONDON, Dec. 1st 1824
It is stated that the losses at Lloyd's
by the storm of Monday and Tuesday are beyond calculation, and
are scarcely equalled in the memory of the oldest member of the
house.
During the tempest, 300 feet of the battlements
of Fonthill Abbey were blown down and glass broken to the amount
of several hundred pounds.
At Taunton, Leaton, Sidmouth, Exeter,
Exmouth, South Devon, Plymouth, on the Cornish coast, Portleven,
Falmouth, Polperro, Fowey, Lowe, &c. &c. the destruction by the
storm is beyond calculation. Several vessels were lost, the names
of which are not known.
One hundered bales of linen had been picked up at sea belonging
to some vessel coasted.
The destruction on the sound by the storm was very great in lives,
houses, furniture, trees, fences, walls, &c. &c. Several columns
are occupied detailing particulars.
From the London Shipping List of Nov. 26, 1824.
At Aberdeen, 20th, Quebec Packet, Quebec.
At Deal, 25th, Sibson, Stephenson, Quebec.

Shipwreck of the Diamond |
| |
We regret to learn, by this arrival [packet ship Canada,
Captain Rogers, arriving last evening from Liverpool, whence
she sailed
on the 5th of the present month], that the elegant ship Diamond,
Captain Henry Macy, which sailed from this port on the 12th of
December, for Liverpool, was lost on the 2nd instant in Cardigan
Bay. The particulars of this distressing occurrence have not
been received, but we are informed that all who were on board,
except one, were lost. The following is a list of the passengers,
as published on the departure of the ship.
Mr. John Betterly, lady and daughter, understood of Baltimore
; Messrs. William Walker, and — Walker, from Philadelphia
; Messrs. Robert Givan junior, John Nicholson, John Broadbent,
Joseph Broadbent, and William Wood, of New York ; H.N. Gilbert,
of Louisiana ; Dr. Strutt of London ; Mr. McDonald, residence
not known — and 15 in the steerage.
The following extract of a letter from
G. Thomas, the Agent of Lloyd's at Liverpool, to the owner of
the Diamond, dated Jan. 3rd, gives feint hope that some of the
crew were saved.
Liverpool, January 3rd
"On Saturday night last, the ship Diamond,
Captain H. Macy, from New York, laden with cotton, struck upon
the Causeway near the
east end, in 7 fathoms water. An express came to me last night
for a vessel or boat to go off directly to take six men from
the rigging. The Preventive Boat immediately went, and I hope
was successful . . . ." |
| March 9th - CC |
from the New York Com. Advertiser, 25th February
. . . . We also have the particlars of the loss of the ship Diamond,
which is taken from the Liverpool Advertiser of January
6th. The Diamond was quite upright in the
water and lay about a mile from land. No papers of any descriptions
had been saved.
Cabin Passengers Lost:— Mrs. [ ! ] Wood
of Saddleworth ; Mr. Broadbent of Saddleworth ; Mr. Givan of
New
York ; and a young female, the child of Mr. & Mrs. Betteley
of Baltimore, who were saved. The body of Mr. Wood has been
found ; in his pockets were upwards of £7,000 which has been
saved. Captain
Macy, a most respectable individual, and very well known in
the trade
;
Mr. Clarke,
the chief mate ; and one seaman also a person called Lowe,
and two other steerage passengers ; making in all ten individuals,
met with a watery grave.
The names of Cabin Passengers saved are:— Mr.
Nicholson of New York ; Mr. & Mrs. Betteley of Baltimore ;
Mr. Gildard, State of Mississippi ; Mr. Macdonald ; Dr. Strutt
of London ; Mr. William Walker ; John William Cousins ; and
Mr. Broadbent.
Melancholy Accident:— On Tuesday last as
a young man named James Munley was crossing from Kingston to
Long Island, he fell through the ice and was unfortunately
drowned. The deceased was a native of the County of Mayo in
Ireland. — His body was found on Wednesday.
Brockville, March 7th
Fire:— The dwelling house of Mr. Samuel
Chaffey,
an emigrant
settler in South Crosby, was consumed by fire about two weeks since, by which
we are told he has been put to considerable inconvenience, and sustained a loss
of upwards of £100.
Drowned:— We are informed that a man of
the name of Thomas Radcliffe was drowned about two
months since in crossing the stream upon the ice below Mr.
Chaffey's mill in South Crosby. At his funeral a few persons
attended ; one of whom of the name of Martha Whealan (Whelan)
was also unfortunately drowned in crossing the ice over Indian
Lake a short distance above the mill on her way homeward. It
has been stated to us that Radcliffe left notes, accounts and
personal property to a considerable amount, at present in the
hands of Mr. Chaffey and the Coroner, J.K. Hartwell, Esq. Radcliffe
was an emigrant from Shropshire, England. |
| March 16th - CC |
. . . the special committee of the House of Assembly on the
subject made the following report viz. :— "That
the establishment of a Steam Boat to run regularly during the
summer months between the Ports of Quebec and Halifax, touching
at the intermediate Ports, would have a most beneficial effect
upon the trade and navigation of these Provinces and that an
aid to a moderate extent might with propriety be granted towards
the advancement of so desirable an object." — Neilson
Gazette, Quebec, 9th March 1825 |
| March 19th - CC |
Waterproof Cloth:—
A process has lately been invented
in Glasgow by which cloth may be rendered water-proof. It is reported to consist
in gluing two pieces of cloth together by a wash of caoutchouc
(or indian
rubber,) dissolved in the mineral oil produced at the gas works,
and passing them through a rollingpress. It is said that a
coat may thus be made perfectly impervious to rain.
Warning:— Children are in the habit of chewing
India Rubber. It is perhaps not generally known that
quick silver is brought in this article, and it may be considred
rank poison. |

Montreal
The River is open as far as the eye can reach below this
City ; two Durham boats arrived in the harbour on Thursday
last, a circumstance which has not occurred at this season
of the year during the recollection of the oldest inhabitant.

| April 9th - CC |
There is certainly no want of inclinations in the British North
American Provinces to improve their resources, as the following
abstract of what they are doing or have done reflects, we think,
great credit upon them:—
Lower-Canada has given in 1824 upwards of £15,000
for Roads, as a bounty for establishing a Steam Vessel between
Halifax and Quebec, for agricultural and other purposes, for
a census of its population, &c. ; besides have authorised an
additional loan of £30,000 to complete Lachine Canal, near Montreal.
Upper-Canada has voted £25,000 to the Stock
of the Welland Canal Company to make the Canal uniting Lake Erie
and Ontario, large enough to admit the passage of ordinary vessels
upon the Lakes. It has in consideration to take a Loan of £70,000
Sterling, offered by the Imperial Government for the purpose
of uniting Lake Ontario with the River Ottawa ; and the improvement
of the Navigation of the Rapids of the River St. Lawrence.
Nova Scotia has voted £12,000 to improve its
Lateral Communications, besides considerable sums on the Shubenacadie
Canal, and to improve its Agriculture, to encourage Commerce
&c.
New-Brunswick has voted £10,000 for its Roads
and Internal Communications besides £4,000 for its Fish Be—ties, £1,000
to meet the expenses of a Suvey of a Route for a Canal from the
Bay of Fundy to the Gulph of the St. Lawrence, and other sums
for purposes of Education, Agriculture, the establishing of Light
houses &c. &c. . . . |
| April 16th - CC |
Emigration to Canada |
| |
The last papers received from England mention that His Majesty's
Government had it in contemplation to send two thousand Irish
Emigrants to this country. We are persuaded that this measure
is another instance of the kindly intentions of the ministers
towards the distressed peasantry of Ireland, and we trust that
the mode to be practised will be so arranged as to prevent any
Job Work in the affair. We know that great hardships have been
sustained by Emigrants on their passage to, and after their arrival
in this country, through the improper, and criminal conduct of
ship agents, and commanders of vessels, and that the good intentions
of government were frequently prevented being carried into effect.
. . . .Many instances have occurred wherein emigrants have taken
advantage of free passages to Canada, and almost immediately
after their landing, passed into the United States . . . . |

Steam Boat Intelligence |
| |
The Hercules Tow Boat, which has been handsomely painted and
fitted up, is now in the harbour.
New-Swiftsure to sail this evening, at 7 o'clock, for Quebec.
Chambly intended to sail tonight for Chambly.
Laprairie sailed last night for Quebec.
The Montreal continues her trips between this city and Laprairie,
regularly, twice a day.
We hope the ice mentioned
in the Quebec paper as being fast in the river, has since that period, taken
its departure, so that the boats will meet with no obstruction
in their passage.
The weather is now remarkably pleasant, and the hum of business
has commenced along the margin of our dirty beach.

Old Line of Liverpool Packets |
| April 30th - CC |
To sail on the first and sixteenth of every month |
| |
Ship Columbia, Hugh Graham, master ; to sail 1st of the 5th
month (May)
Ship Manchester, William Lee junior, master ; to sail 16th of
the 5th month (May)
Ship Pacific, S. Maxwell, master ; to sail 1st of the 6th month
(June)
Ship William Thompson, R.R. Crocker, master ; to sail 16th of
the 6th month (June) |
| |
The Liverpool Packets having met with general approbation
and support, the owners of them have concluded to add to the
number
of vessels employed in that establishment — and they
now intend that the following ships shall sail between New-York
and Liverpool, in regular succession, twice in each month,
from each port leaving both New-York and Liverpool on the
1st and 16th of every month throughout the year, viz:
|
| |
| Ships |
Masters |
| New York |
Thomas Bennet |
| Columbia |

S. Maxwell |
| William Thompson |
R.R. Crocker |
| Florida |
Joseph Tinkham |
| Canada |
James Rogers |
| James Cropper |
Charles H. Marshall |
|
| |
These ships were all built in New-York, of the
best materials, and are coppered, and copper fastened. They are
very fast sailers
; their accomodations for passengers are uncommonly extensive
and commodious, and they are commanded by men of great experience.
The price of passage to England, in the Cabin, is now fixed at
thirty guineas, for which sum passengers will be furnished with
Beds and Bedding, Wine and Stores of the best quality. |

Francis Thompson
Isaac Wright & Son
Benjamin Marshall
Jeremiah Thompson
New York, or to
Horatio Gates & Co. Montreal |

The decided preference generally given by passengers from the
Canadas, to the above old line of Packets is duly appreciated
by the proprietors, and no pains nor expense will be spared in
fully manning their vessels with expert and experienced Officers,
Seamen, Servants &c. &c. That not only safety (as far as depends
on human skill and exertion;) but also comfort shall be insured
to passengers. |

A considerable number of vessels are stated to be at
hand. It is we believe, without precedent that so great a number
were in port at the same time of the year.
The vessels which arrived yesterday fell
in with a considerable extent of heavy field-ice, with a number of
ice-bergs on the banks of Newfoundland. There was no ice in the
gulf except at Cape North ; but it is probable that vessels arriving
there later than they did would meet with ice. The William
Bensley,
only saw a brig in the ice, and met nothing worth notice on her passage.
Both vessels might have been up two days sooner had it been known
that the ice opposite this port had gone off.
We understand that intelligence is received from which it is conjectured
that the Saguenay, of this port, has been lost on the United States
coast.
The Emma, Reed, dismasted
last fall at Hare-Island, which had wintered at Kamouraska, is nearly
ready for sea and will
sail about 1st May.
The following vessels were to sail from Liverpool
for Quebec early in April viz: Urania, Hibernia, Carrick,
Rajnd [sic Rajah ?]
, Indian, New John, Benson, Charlotte, and Henry Cerf.

Emigration:—
The new states of South America, with their ample territories and
free institutions, are attracting the most earnest attention of
the old and crowded countries of Europe. A ship load of farmers
and mechanics well supplied with the implements of their respective
callings, lately sailed from Greenock for Buenos Ayres. A strong
infusion of Scotch sobriety, perseverance and frugality, would
be of great advantage to any portion of South America ; and it
would be wise in the new states to invite as much emigration as
possible from the northern countries of Europe, for the sake of
the moral value and force of the northern character, as well as
the sake of the numbers.
Extract of a letter from Havana to a gentleman in Washington,
dated 5th April 1825
"Sixteen pirates, taken above Matanzas, have been committed to
prison this day. They were taken in company with the Dartmouth frigate,
schooners Lion and Union, by
the Sea
Gull. I therefore
regret exceedingly that they were given up here ; as every one
of them will be released in the course of a few months. In case
the American cruisers have orders to give up the prisoners they
capture on this coast to this government, they may as well be recalled
to the United States. In this gang was found the only man who was
pardoned, at Jamaica, out of the gang taken by Captain Graham at
the Isle of Pines, last summer, who afterwards entered on board
one of the British schooners of war, where he remained till lately,
when he made his escape and joined them again, and was afterwards
taken by the same officers from whom he had escaped." |

The wind has prevailed from the east for the last four or five days
past, but no other regular traders than the General Wolfe and Ontario,
both from Bristol, have yet made their appearance ; besides these two
there have been only four arrivals since this day s'ennight.
The Ontario, Willis, from Bristol, with a full cargo, sailed yesterday
for Montreal ; she is the first vessel from sea which has passed up
this season.
The Commerce, bound to Richibucto which came to this port for repairs
was erroneously stated to have a cargo of dry goods and rum. She was
in ballast.
Montreal:—
The brig Ontario built last year at Quebec, arrived
in this port on Saturday from Bristol. The Steam Tow Boat Hercules,
having had her damage repaired, came up from Three Rivers on Monday,
and sailed again for Quebec on the same evening, with the ship Lady
Rowena in Tow. She may be shortly expected back with one, or more of
the vessels lately arrived at Quebec.
A singular circumstance, which was likely to produce serious
consequences occurred the other day at LaPrairie. When the Steam-Boat Canadian lately
built at LaPrairie, and owned by Mr. Raymond, was about to be launched,
two men on board the Montreal were engaged in firing
off a small piece of ordinance in compliment to the intended launch.
One of the men was preparing to load the gun a second time, when the
other called out to be careful, as there were some sparks remaining
from the former discharge ; the person so cautioned then put his mouth
to the muzzle, and blew with all hs force, in order to drive the fire
out through the vent ; but it was afterwards proved that his lungs
were not sufficiently powerful to accomplish this, as, on attempting
to deposit a second charge of powder in the Gun, the fire which still
remained, coming in contact with the charge instantly produced an explosion,
before these experienced cannoneers had time to save temselves,
as both were severely scorched in the faces and breasts. A medical
man being present was applied to, who directed them to to use some
wash which he had prepared, but one of the sufferers instead of applying
the liquid externally, drank it off. On this being discovered,
a quantity of milk was immediately administered, which produced vomiting,
and thus in all probability the man's life was preserved. Neither of
the men have sustained any other injury than that of the scorching,
their eyes being fortunately saved. So much for ignorance of the manner
in which guns should be loaded. We hope this will be a caution to others,
and render them more careful in future. |

this port, on Thursday morning last.
The bark William Huskisson, was launched on the same morning from
Mr. Atkinson's establishment at Cape Rouge.
The Young Oliver, out 48 days from Demerara to Quebec, was spoken
by the Kate, 28th April, off Cape Breton, all well.

4 leagues east of the Riding rocks, the brig Robert, Joy, from Jamaica
to Quebec.
The Sophia which was launched on the 2nd ult. at Montreal, having
entered and completed her cargo, cleared from port on Friday last,
for Liverpool.
The Steamboat built at Queenston by Mr. R. Hamilton, was launched
on Saturday last. We viewed her on Monday, and she appeared to us
to be built of the most durable and safe materials. We wish the enterprising
proprietor every success in his undertaking.
The Toronto Steam-Boat was launched on the 23rd. She is to run between
this port and Niagara.
— York Observer
The list of Ships launched last week, we omitted to notice the
ship Jessy Lawson, built at the yard of Messrs. Sheppard & Campbell,
for the firm Tweedie & Cuthbertson, of Glasgow ; this fine vessel
went off the stocks on Thursday last, in a superior style, but
the inclemency of the weather was such, that few witnessed the launch,
except the parties interested.— Mercury.
Late letters from Ireland agree in stating that a greater number
of emigrants will sail this year for the Canadas than in any former
one. Most of the vessels from that country for Quebec were waiting
for passengers and would sail before the 15th April. |

On Saturday night about nine o'clock the New Swiftsure Steam Boat
on her passage from Quebec, ran ashore in dense fog about six miles
this side of Berthier, where she remained until 12 o'clock on Monday,
when she was towed off by the Quebec, and arrived in Montreal at
six o'clock yesterday morning. She did not receive any damage by
this circumstance.

Yesterday, a poor woman in going on board the Ship
Dublin from the Brewery wharf fell between the vessel
and the wharf ; the accident was no sooner known, on board, than
the second mate of the Dublin plunged into the water and at the imminent
risk of his own life happily rescued the unfortumate creature from
her perilous situation. The name of this gallant fellow, we understand,
is George Ferry.— Mercury 17th May
Melancholy accident:— On Saturday last a young man
named John Green was drowned at
the wharf near the ferry houseimmediately below McQueen's boarding house. It
appears that when in the act of taking up a bucket of water, he lost
his balance and fell in. Dr. Sampson and Dr. Franklin of the 37th
used every means that skill and humanity could suggest to restore
animation, but to no avail. The deceased was a native of the county
of Monaghan, in Ireland.
— Kingston Chronicle
Montreal:—
The Steam Boat Quebec, which arrived here
on the 16th inst., brought a number of passengers, chiefly Emigrants from Europe.
We understand that the Small Pox is very prevalent amongst the children
who arrived by the Quebec, and that one died on the passage.
We have been informed by a gentleman, who came as a passenger in the
Amethyst from London, that he heard from good authority in the British
capital, that arrangements were making to send 15,000 Irish Emigrants
to Canada this Summer.
| We have just been favoured with a Liverpool paper of the 19th
[April], from which we have copied the following. — Mercury
17th May |
House of Commons, April 14th
Emigration from Ireland |
Mr. Bonon rose to propose that a certain sum should be granted
to his Majesty for the removal of emigrants from the south of
Ireland to the Cape of Good Hope and Canada. It was not the intention
of Ministers to propose a renewal of this grant on any future
occasion. He stated that the principle on which the system of
emigration from the south of Ireland was conducted was a sound
one. The error of all former systems was, that the emigrant on
his arrival at the Colony, was left without any means of immediate
support. Under the present sytem the error was avoided ; and
every emigrant might on his arrival be sure, with the exercise
of common industry of procuring a livelyhood. Government has
received the most flattering accounts of the success which had
attended the present system so late as up to last February. Under
these circumstances, he felt justified in proposing the present
vote. The undertaking was merely in the nature of an experiment,
which might, in its operation, effect a partial benefit to Ireland.
After a short discussion the vote was agreed to.
On the motion of Mr. Herries, the Customs and Excise Consolidation
Acts went through a Committee, and leave was given to bring a
Bill to amend and embody the same. |

The wind which for several days past had prevailed from the eastward, having
changed, has permitted the vessels which were wind-bound
to proceed to sea.
Mr. Symes, passenger in the Dew-drop, arrived in town
yesterday from that vessel, which he reports at hand ; she left Gravesend on
the 6th April.
On passing Bic,
the Dew-drop discovered a brig between that Island and Biqnet
[Biquette] which she supposed to be on shore— The brig had all her masts
standing with a Jack flying at her fore-top gallant mast head [brig Friends,
from Dublin, with 120 emigrants].
The Dew-drop also
passed by the Quebec Packet at anchor off Green Island, and
spoke, above the
Traverse, the brig Mars, from Liverpool, the Lady Harwood,
the Jane, the Albion,
of Dublin, with settlers, saw a bark full of settlers, and above 50 sail vessels
between Quebec and Green Island.
The Perseverance, Egg, the first vessel which entered the port this season, sailed
again on Tuesday last, with a full cargo for Plymouth.
The ship Mansfield, of 370 tons, was launched from Messrs. McDonald
and Howe's
Ship-yard, at Mrs. Munn's Cove, on Wednesday morning ; the bark Surrey,
of 360
tons, was put off the blocks from the same yard on Thursday morning. They were
both built by Mr. Labee.— A very fine ship of upwards of 400 tons, called
the Lord Melville was also launched the same morning from Mr. Taylor's Yard at
Canoterie. |

A Cork paper states that nine vessels will sail from that port for Quebec, in
the course of this and the ensuing month with 2000 emigrants and their families. — St.
James Chronicle, 16th April
Montreal:
Emigrants.— Upwards of 150 settlers from Perthshire,
Scotland,
arrived
here yesterday in the Niagara, on their way to the Township
of McNab, on the Ottawa River. McNab of McNab, the proprietor of the Township,
being in this City when the [brig] Niagara arrived, went on
board,
in full Highland
Costume, accompanied by Miles McDonald Esq., and a Piper. Mr. McN. cordially
shook
hands with his country men, and gave them a true highland welcome to Canada.
These emigrants appear to be persons of intelligence, and from their robust form,
we suppose they will be an acquisition in a new country, particularly as they
have been accustomed to the pursuits of agriculture in their native one. |

Passengers:—
In the 8th April [Liverpool] Packet at New York, Messrs. Blackwood, Bethune and Satterthwaite,
of Canada.
In the 16th April Liverpool Packet at New York, James Jamieson, Rd.
Gerrard and Thomas Froste, of Montreal.
Mr. Tracey came up in the Zenophon [Xenophon]
yesterday from the brig Friends, of and from Dublin, lost on
the Island of Biquette,
about 160 miles below this port.
The Friends drove ashore on Tuesday the 18th inst. she has 120
Irish emigrants on board, who were all safely landed with their baggage and provisions,
and
remain on the island. This vessel left Dublin on the 19th ultimo, in ballast
; she is a total wreck. Assistance to convey the emigrants to the place of destination
was desired.
Expeditious Travelling.—
By an arrangement lately made the distance between this city and Prescott
can be accomplished by Stages, and Steam Boats in
the following time and manner. The Stage takes its departure from Montreal
at noon and proceeds to Lachine, where the passengers enter the Steam Boat
that conveys them to the Cascades, a distance of 25 miles. From the Cascades
to Coteau du Lac, 15 miles they are carried in a Stage ; thence to Cornwall,
40 miles by Steam Boat ; and from Cornwall to Prescott, 50 miles they are
taken by the Stage, at which latter place they arrive before sun set on
the evening after the day they left Montreal, the whole distance being
computed 140 miles [sic]. The return from Prescott to this place is yet
more expeditious ; and on Saturdays the Stage will depart at one o'clock
A.M. and arrive here the same evening, which will prevent travelling on
the Sabbath. To mercantile men this facility must afford particular gratification
; and to strangers the alternate jaunts by water, and land, will be a recreation
which will greatly enhance the pleasures of the journey both up and down
the river.
Some of the vessels which have arrived lately
fell in with considerable quantities of ice, and were detained in it for several
days ; it has come down this season later and in greater quantities than usual
; Many of the shipping arrived in the United-States met with immense fields of
it ; those coming from the westward have encountered most—
| The following is a comparative statement of the arrivals at Quebec, on
the 26th May 1824, and the same period in 1825. There is no instance when
so many vessels were in port so early in the season. It is gratifying to
find that a greater number of them than usual have cargoes. A greater number
than usual, we believe, have proceeded to Montreal, that port now being
easily reached by the use of the tow boat. There are undoubtedly better
prospects as regards the trade of this vast and rapidly improving country
than ever. Intelligence, enterprize, prudence, and a strict attention to
the quality of our exports, will soon raise the Canadas to very great importance. |
