Arrivals at the Port of Quebec, 1832
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 Quebec Gazette CG.
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ships' rigging or name of Master unpublished, it is indicated by -- (The newspapers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 1832.

The brig Daniel O'Connell arrived in Quebec
from Ireland without a passenger list (the master claimed to
have forgotten it). This
initiated a file of correspondence between Quebec, London and
Ireland ; this is the first letter. |
Custom House, Quebec
14th June, 1832
|
To The Honorable Commissioners of Customs,
London
|
Hon. Sirs,
Your letter of 5th January 1831 having directed us to report any irregularities
connected with the clearances etc of Vessels leaving the United Kingdom with
Emigrants.
We have to state for your information that the Brig "Daniel O'Connell"arrived
here yesterday from Sligo with 112 Emigrants on board and that the only return
of which, produced by the Master, was the document
transmitted herewith, which not being in conformity with that
prescribed by Sec 4 - 9 Geo IV, Cap 21 - We consider to submit to your consideration
and direction.
The Vessel appearing to have cleared previous to 16th. April, no duty
is exigible on the Passengers under the Provincial Act and the number
mustered on board by the Tide Surveyor did not appear to exceed that
allowed by Law - We take this opportunity of stating that such
numerous changes of passengers take place between the time of Ships
clearing and her sailing, from entered passengers getting on shore
and not making their appearance at the time of sailing, and others
being substituted in their room, and also from the names given in
to the Master or Agent for the Vessel being ficticious ones ;
that we find no reliance can be placed on the certified list of names
and in consequence, that numbers alone must be our guide in applying
the Law, and we have further to add, that from our ignorance of the
names of the Clearing Officer in the Ports of the United Kingdom and
the great diversity of Forms and Certificates issued by them, we
have no means of distinguishing between genuine and fabricated ones.
|
|
note: The file contains two passenger lists,
one issued at Ballyshannon and one at Donegal. In fact, the brig
sailed from
Ballyshannon,
the port for Donegal
and not Sligo. A Tide Surveyor was the customs officer who boarded
ships ; in England he was usually called a Tide Waiter. |

Extract of the letter from Restigouche, dated 11th May :— "On
the 5th inst. the ship Sir Walter Scott, Brown, arrived off
Tracadieche Bar, but being there boarded by shore boat, and
being informed that the river ice had not moved, be returned
under the lea of Maria Cape, to avoid it, where I am informed
five or six vessels have six joined her. The ice is still fixed
above Douglas Island, but is floating about with the tide below
it." |
|
Emigrant Ships |
An order has been received at this Custom-house from the Board,
in consequence of a memorial from the general ship-owners' Society,
directing the officers of customs not to interfere with ships
carrying less than 50 passengers to North America, and in all
cases, the necessity of carrying a surgeon throughout the voyage
is rescinded, and a strict examination into the health of the
passengers is directed to be made be a medical superintendent
previous to sailing. This indicates a decided disposition on
the part of Government to afford every possible facility and
encouragement to emigration. — Plymouth Journal |

The bark Europe, which arrived on
Tuesday from Sligo, had on board 371 emigrants, several of whom were
labouring under the small pox. She came up without a pilot, and did
not anchor at Grosse Isle, having shipped a pilot only off Orleans,
who brought the vessel to the mouth of the St. Charles. The yellow
flag [quarantine flag] was hoisted yesterday, and after
being visited by the Health Officer, she was admitted to pratique
in the afternoon,
and
her passengers
were landed. [Pratique is the license given to a ship to enter
port on assurance from the captain to convince the authorities that
she
is free from contagious disease.] |
|
|
Shipping Intelligence:
The new ship launched this Spring by Mr. Black, and named The
Lord Aylmer, has been sold to Capt. McFee of Liverpool. Her
name has been changed to Aliquis.
Thirty vessels are reported at Grosse Isle.
The Experiment, Bruce, from Hull for Quebec, ashore near Calais,
France, has been totally lost ; she had 45 settlers on board — all
hands saved. |
|
Four hundred and five vessels have arrived at Quebec, to date,
from the beginning of the Navigation Season. |
|
STANDING RULES OF THE QUEBEC EMIGRANT SOCIETY |
1st. |
No person can be relieved from the funds, except emigrants
from the current year. |
2nd. |
No family can be relieved, (except under extraordinary
circumstances,) in which there is a man grown, who is able
to work. |
3rd. |
No family can be relieved, where the head of the family
has gone of clandestinely, and left them unprovided. |
4th. |
No widow can be relieved, who was a widow when she left
Ireland, England or Scotland, unless she came out to join
friends who can provide for her in this country, and is detained
here by sickness or other unavoidable cause. |
5th. |
Widows applying for relief must exhibit satisfactory evidence
that their husbands have died either on the passage out,
or since their arrival in this country. |
8th. [!] |
Individuals or families applying upon the alleged grounds
of sickness of the man who ought to support them, must exhibit
a line from the Hospital, or a medical certificate, or produce
other credible testimony ; and the same rule applies to unhealthy
or disabled subjects applying in person, who the effects
of the malady or injury are not evident to the eye. |
|
|
To the Editors of Newspapers in Upper and Lower Canada
and
in the adjoining parts of the United States |
Practices of the same or similar nature with that described
in the following advertisement, being but of too frequent occurrence
among the number of emigrants, of various character
and conduct, who arrive at Quebec, the Editors of papers are
requested to give publicity, as a matter of charity, to these
two examples, that they may at least operate as a warning to
others :— |
|
Whereas JOHN WORTHINGTON, from the County of Tyrone, in Ireland,
labourer, widower, supposed to be aged under thirty years, clandestinely
departed from Quebec, on 28th May last, leaving a motherless
child to the charity of strangers. ; |
|
And whereas LAUGHLIN FARRELL, a pensioner from the 35th Foot,
who had commuted his pension, did in the same way, quit Quebec
in the Lady of the Lake steamboat about the
last day of May or 1st June, leaving two motherless and unprovided
children, of the ages, respectively, of 12 and 13 years ; |
|
This is in request all persons to whom said John Worthington
or the said Laughlin Farrell may address themselves for employment
or otherwise, that they would endeavour to represent to either
or both of them the enormity of such conduct, and, in the case

Shipping Intelligence:
At quarantine last evening at six — bark Brunswick,
7th May from London — brig Portaferry, 8th May from Greenock, and brig Carricks from
Dublin.
The Redwing, in lat. 43, 32, long. 39, fell in with the brig Henry, of and from
Swansea for Quebec, in ballast, to H. Lemesurier & Co., in a sinking state. Took
from her the whole of her passengers, amounting to 180, with some provisions
and water. The Henry sunk shortly after.
A number of patients labouring under the small pox have been
landed at Quebec since the opening of the navigation, and were
allowed to spread themselves in different parts of the country.
We have heard it stated, that a Committee of the Board of Health
has been appointed to report on the conduct of the Health Officer
in that respect.
The steamer Royal William arrived last night from Montreal
; she will leave early next week. |
|
The steamer Voyageur sailed last night for
Montreal with a great number of emigrants on board, and a barge
in tow. After
having proceeded about nine miles, the passengers appear to have
got alarmed at the rolling of the boat, which at times, from
the vessel being deep in the water, permitted a part of the waves
to get into the vessel. The alarm increasing, the passengers
by throwing themselves sometimes to one side and then to the
other, made the danger real. Capt. Morin put back to Quebec,
and arrived safely about midnight. The Voyageur sailed
this morning, after disembarking about 200 of her passengers.
Some persons
say that one man fell overboard last night during the rolling
of the vessel, but this seems quite uncertain. |
|
The Cholera |
Dr. Motrin, the Commissioner of Health, and Mr. Young, the
Secretary of the Board returned last night from the quarantine
station.
The rumour of there being persons at the station sick from the
cholera, is entirely without foundation. Three persons are at
the hospital sick of ordinary continued fever. [By a continual
fever is meant that which never leaves the patient during the
whole course of the disease, or which shows no remarkable increase
or abatement in the symptoms.] Thirty-nine deaths had occurred
during the passage of the Carricks from Dublin
in the lapse of 15 days, the last having died on the 9th May.
All the passengers
have been landed : their baggage and the vessel will be purified,
and the latter released, it is thought, in about ten days.
The rumour of deaths by cholera at the Emigrant Hospital in Quebec,
now in circulation, is also without foundation. |
The following is a copy of the official notice issued by the
Board this morning.— |
"Various reports having circulated that a vessel had arrived
at Grosse Isle in which there were several persons ill of the
Asiatic cholera, public notice is hereby given, that the Health
Commissioner, having proceeded to Grosse Isle by order of the
Board, had reported that the brig Carricks, James Hudson, Master,
from Dublin, arrived at the Quarantine station on the 3rd instant
; that there were on board, at the time of her arrival, one hundred
and thirty-three passengers, all of whom have been landed, and
are in the Emigrant shed ; that the vessel is undergoing the
usual processes of disinfection ; and that at the time of his
departure on the evening of the 7th instant, there was not a
case of Asiatic cholera on the island. |
By the order of the Board,
T.A. Young, Secretary." |

Montreal, (Saturday,) June 9th.— The steamboats that
have arrived in port during the last two or three days have
brought up upwards of 4,500 settlers. The John Bull on
Thursday brought up 32 cabin and 1,150 steerage passengers, exclusive
of 375 who
remained on board the two vessels she had in tow, (The Lord
Melville and the Betsy.)
The British America on the same day brought
up 9 cabin and 630 steerage passengers. The Chambly arrived

and the Lady of the Lake with 240 steerage passengers.
Yesterday the John
Molson and Hercules arrived,

the latter are some from the wreck of the Wallington, from Leith.
The small ferry boat, Lady Aylmer arrived in the course of the
day with 230 on board.
The passengers on board the Lord Melville from
Portsmouth, now in port, (333 in number) are principally from
the Estates
of the Earl of Egremont, and sent out at the expense of that
generous nobleman. [see Petworth

The Lady Aylmer steamboat arrived in this port
a few days ago, crowded with emigrants, after a passage of more
than
three
days
from Quebec. The great majority have represented to us that they
were brought up against their will, after having entered into
arrangements with the Captain to be landed from their ships on
the Quebec wharves for sixpence a head. They had to pay full
fare to Montreal as if they had come up in the best boat on the
river, though they had undergone very severe privations, not
having laid in any provisions. We hope the Quebec Emigrant Society
will examine into this affair, and take measures to let the necessary
punishment fall upon any who deceive the stranger on our shores. |
|
Our attention has been called to the circumstance which occurred
a few evenings past of the return to port of the Voyageur steamer,
after having proceeded some way on her voyage to Montreal, occasioned
by the danger with which she was threatened, from being overloaded
with passengers. Vessels crossing the Atlantic are restricted
in the number of persons they convey, by regulations framed with
due consideration to the safety and convenience of the passengers.
But the Steam Boats here receive as many as can find standing
room and, if blessed with fair weather and smooth water, may
arrive at Montreal without loss of life. But the danger, to which
the lives of the passengers are exposed, is manifested. Apprehension
in such a mass of human beings, soon creates a state of confusion
that augments the danger apprehended, or would create it, if
it did not already exist. A strongly enforced regulation on this
head is much called for, or, the season can hardly be expected
to pass without some serious accident f
rom overloading boats.— Mercury |
|
Died.
On Wednesday, of the Asiatic cholera, Mr. William Tait, Surgeon, late of Newtonstuart,
Gallowayshire, Scotland.

A man who was removed on shore from the steamboat Hercules,
which arrived yesterday afternoon from Montreal, attacked with
cholera, died last evening ; and one was sent to the island in
the river St. Maurice to be buried, who had died in the passage

Several of our steamers have discontinued for the present their
trips to and from Montreal. Those which it is intended shall
continue running are each to have a surgeon on board. The cabin
fare upwards has been raised to forty shillings. |

The ship Recovery, which arrived at this
port on Friday [June 15], from London brought 250 passengers,
under the direction
of Mr. Marshall, Agent of the New Brunswick Land Company, who
also arrived in her. We understand that these Emigrants are from
Berkshire, England, and that they intend forthwith to proceed
to the County of York [N. B.], for the purpose of commencing
the settlement of 20,000 acres of fertile Land in that valuable
agricultural County, which has been recently purchased from the
British Government by the Land Company. We are also happy to
learn that two additional vessels were to follow the Recovery,
each with about the same number of passengers, and for the same
destination, and that they are all of a description of persons
who will prove a valuable acquisition to the Province. They bring
with them a considerable sum in specie. — St. John

On the arrival of the ship GEORGE and THOMAS in this port on
Saturday,
the following letter was presented to the Commander. |
Ship GEORGE AND THOMAS,
Quebec, June 23rd, 1832 |
To Capt. W. R. DOWLING,
DEAR SIR, We the passengers in the ship George and Thomas under your
command from Dublin, to this port, cannot separate without offering
you our congratulations on the happy termination of the voyage.
At this period when a pestilential disease has made such havoc among the numerous
emigrant vessels which have arrived in Quebec, we consider ourselves peculiarly
favored by Providence in having reached our destination with two hundred and
forty passengers of all ages, without the loss of a single life, and we feel
that it has been chiefly owing to the prudent measures you adopted from the commencement,
in preserving the cleanliness and ventilation of the Ship, in the ample supply
of water and fuel you afforded, and to the great kindness and attention you at
at all times paid to the wants and comforts of your passengers, for which we
(on behalf of the rest,) have much pleasure in making our acknowledgements, and wishing
you every prosperity and happiness,
We are, Dear Sir, Your obedt. Servts.

460 Emigrants - men, women, and children ; 40 of whom were left
at
Kingston - 90 at Cobourg - 156 at York, and 174 were destined
for Hamilton. They were nearly all English, from London and the
southern counties. Many of these were highly respectable families
who came out in the Caroline [May 17] with Mr.
Cattermole, and proceeded to Guelph and Goderich. There were
also a number
of farming people
from Laxfield in Suffolk.
The Queenston took on board a good
many other Emigrants for the Head of the Lake, to the number
altogether of 250 - nearly all on their way to the Canada Company's
Lands.
The Schooners Misissaqua Chief, with 50 English
Emigrants, and the Commerce with 65 English
Emigrants, also arrived yesterday.

Gananoque and Kingston - 35 at Cobourg 30 at Port Hope - 170
at York - 85 for Hamilton, on their way to Guelph - and 20 for

SIR, - Impelled by gratitude for the kindness you have manifested
to us during our passage from Bristol, we, whose names are hereunto
affixed, beg to express our sense of the obligation, and to assure

You are of perfect liberty to make what use you may think proper of this our

Three Rivers, 22 June, 1832 |
Resolved. — That no Steamers or Ships, either bound up
or down shall be permitted to come alongside nay of the Wharfs
in this port, but come to anchor about 100 yards distance from
said wharfs, and there such steamers take in their fuel and land
their goods by batteaux.
Resolved. — That no person or persons whatever will be allowed
to land from such Steamers or Ships, except passengers at Three
Rivers.
Resolved. — That no Ship or Vessel shall come alongside
any of the wharfs to load or unload until examined by a Medical
Commissioner ; and on receipt of a certificate being produced
from him that no sickness prevails on board, such Ship or Vessel
will be allowed to come alongside and load or unload her cargo
as required ; and if any person be sick on board such Ship or
Vessel, the same is to remain at anchor in stream.
Resolved. — That two Wardens shall be appointed to see the foregoing
regulations relative to the Port carried into effect, also to
see to the cleanliness of Wharfs.
Resolved. — That the foregoing regulations be communicated
to the Proprietors and Lessees of the Wharfs, to the end that
they may act conformably thereto.
By Order of the Board of Health,
Ant. Z. Le Blanc, Secretary. |
|
On the 25th instant, the dead body of a man was discovered
floating in the River St. Lawrence, near the Falls of Montmorency.
It is supposed to be that of William McWhirk, a native of the
parish of Glammie, Scotland. Further information may be had from
B.A. Panet, Esq., Coroner, or Thomas G. Cathro, watchmaker, Quebec,
Lower Canada. |
|
The brig Royalist arrived on the morning of
the 26th at Grosse Isle with a clean bill of health from Belfast,
with 187 passengers
on board, whereof 34 died during the passage, that is to say,
14 adults with symptoms of the cholera morbus, and 20 children
with small pox and severe cold ; the last cholera patient died
on the 7th instant. The passengers were to be landed until further
instructions from the Board.
The brig Dalusia, Captain Parnall, having
167 passengers, sailed on the 6th May from Dublin, where she
performed three day's quarantine before sailing, as a test
in order to procure a bill of health for the vessel and passengers — has
on board the measles, hooping cough [whooping cough] and some
cold — five children died of measles. — Mercury
At this time, when sickness and distress are so heavy amongst
the emigrants, the Two Steamboat Companies have determined
to raise the price of steerage passage from 7s. 6 d. to 10s.
There is, we believe, but one opinion upon this matter ; everywhere
the act is condemned as unfeeling, if not unfair — the
more so, when it is considered that the proprietors of the Steamers
have actually been realising very handsome returns by conveying
emigrants up to this date. The St. Patrick,
the largest boat in the river but one, is expected to run early
next week, and
she is built expressly for steerage passengers — having
very large accommodations under cover. We sincerely
hope that the liberal proprietor will not be swayed by the conduct
of the other Companies, but will convey emigrants at the old
rates. The advance, we believe, originated with Montreal proprietors. — Mercury |

The Telegraphs |
The Telegraphs now in operation as far as Grosse Isle, are
now under the superintendence of Mr. Watt, by whom they were
originally planned and established, and by whom they were managed
during the late war with the United States, when reaching as
far as Brandy Pots, one hundred and twenty miles below the port.
Since they are in operation to Grosse Isle, that meritorious
individual, who is a calculator of time and the tides — an
unassuming but exact and skilled observer of heavenly phenomena,
such as eclipses, spots of the sun, &c., and particularly as
keeping a very extensive register of the weather under all its
varied influences, immediately turned his attention to the useful
purpose of conveying intelligence on the arrival of the ships
at the Quarantine station. The following copy of his report of
the Robert Kerr to the public offices and the
Exchange this morning, will show with what accuracy and detail
his telegraphic operations
are carried on:—
"Robert Kerr, Belfast, 1st June, salt,
Parke and Bruce, 307 settlers."— "Earl Grey is Prime
Minister." "The Anti-Reformers withdrew their opposition." "No
creation
of Peers." |
|
The passengers in the Robert Kerr have arrived in excellent
health ; there was not one case of sickness, birth, or death
on board during the passage. |

GOOD NEWS TO THE AFFLICTED IN QUEBEC |
Health secured, by "Morison's Vegetable Medicines,"
only. |
MR. SIFTON, Hygeist, from the British College of Health, London,
begs to acquaint the inhabitants of Upper and Lower Canada, that
he intends to take up his abode at Montreal for the sale of "Morison's
Vegetable Universal Medicines, and appoint sub-agenta in each
town within his district as soon as possible.
By the happy discovery made by Mr. Morison in Physical Science,
all the afflicted are now enabled (at a light expense) to remove
their own complaints, whatsoever those complaints may be. His
Medicine, entirely composed of vegetable matter, is free from
all destructive mercurial preparations so frequently resorted
to by the faculty, and which so generally lead the patient to
a premature dissolution. Not only is this medicine mild in its
operation, but sure, safe, and speedy, in its effects, as the
letters of thanks from the numerous parties relieved by its virtues
sufficiently testify. These, which are published in Morisoniana,
convince all, by whom they are perused, that nothing can be more
certain and effectual than the remedy they eulogize and recommend,
especially those from persons who had unfortunately been attacked
by that fearful and dangerous malady the Cholera Morbus. The
following letter (amongst numerous others) has been received
in Quebec. |
To Mr. Sifton :
"We beg to acquaint you that on Wednesday night about 7 o'clock,
a young man on board of the Dew Drop. was
seized with that dreadful malady, the Cholera Morbus. The Captain
immediately gave the patient 22 of Morison's Vegetable Pills,
and ordered him to be well rubbed over the body, and placed
in bed ; this being attended to in the course of two hours
he felt much relieved, and fell into a comfortable sleep for
about 2 hours. At four o'clock, in the following morning 10
more pills were administered with some warm gruel, altho the
patient, at the time felt no pain but only a little weakened.
At 9 o'clock 10 more pills were given, the young man who in
the course of that day felt himself restored to perfect health
was able to resume his duties. And we the undersigned are ready
and think it our duty to you and the public to make this communication,
that many lives may be saved if they adopt the same course
of treatment. The pilot, Peter Forbes, and a young Doctor were
on board at the time and eye witness of the attack of that
dreadful malady and its subsequent cure by the pills. |
We are Sir, &c., |
Thomas Wokes,
Commander of the Dew Drop.
George Geffery, Cabin Passenger. |
Brig Dew Drop,
28th June 1832" |
The medicines may be obtained at Mr. Thomas Legges, Sault-au-Matelot-steet,
Quebec, for a few days, until an agent is appointed ; and persons
afflicted with the Cholera, or other diseases, who wish to see
Mr. Sifton, he will be happy to wait on them and give advice,
gratis. The medicines are sold in boxes, at 1s. 4d., 3s. 3d.,
5s. 3d., and family packages containing three 5s. 3d. boxes at
13s., and powders at 1s. 4d. currency. The fourth edition of
Morisoniana, or Family Advisor is sold at 12s., and the much
approved Practical Proofs, at 1s. 9d. |

THE CHOLERA AND EMIGRANTS. |
To the Editor of the Quebec Gazette |
Sir— I beg leave to appeal o the public, through your
Paper, in favour of the Emigrants. Probably thirty thousand of
them have arrived at Quebec since the opening of the navigation.
Of these perhaps twenty thousand had proceeded to the respective
destinations in Upper Canada and the United States before the
breaking out of the Cholera at Quebec and Montreal on the 9th
and 11th instant. [June] Since that time, those who were proceeding
have been stopped or hindered on their way. A great number of
them have been driven back from the United States. At the southern
extremity of Lake Champlain, the people actually turned out with
arms, and threatened to fire on the steamboats unless they returned.
In other places, the Emigrants were surrounded by the Militia,
and forced to remain. — all conveyances stopped, and a
land quarantine attempted ; provisions being carried to a distance
from the quarters occupied by the Emigrants, and there left to
be taken up by those that come for them, while dismay, sickness,
and death were in the midst of them ! Those that have returned
to Lower Canada, or that remain at Quebec or Montreal, do not
know how to proceed. They have but little means of their own,
and the people no longer readily receive them into their houses
or employ, or have any intercourse with them.
Are they to die ......[the conclusion of the letter is illegible] |

The following is taken from the Miramichi Gleaner of Tuesday
week last.— |
The Royal William remained in quarantine.— This
delay will probably put an entire stop to her running.
Miramichi, June 26th,— On Tuesday last, the steamer
Royal William arrived from Quebec. The boat
was not allowed to hold any other intercourse with the shore
than to land a
few letters, and was ordered immediately to the quarantine station
[Middle Island],
where she was boarded by Doctor Key, one of the health officers,
who was informed by the captain, that
a short
time
after their
departure from Quebec, the carpenter, with another of the crew,
was seized with a disease corresponding in symptoms with cholera
: since that time, four more of the crew, including the engineer,
have been attacked with the same disorder. Her steerage passengers,
amounting to fifty, were landed on Sheldrake Island on Saturday
last, together with the sick, who are now occupying the buildings
recently erected on the island as Lazar-houses. The captain,
with the cabin passengers, remains on board the vessel, with
such of the crew as continue healthy. From the precautionary
measures adopted by the Board of Health, we feel confident
the infection will be contained to the island.
Tuesday Evening.— We have just learned that the engineer
of the steamboat is dead. No new cases are reported. |
