The brig Skipsey, Reed, late a trader to this
port, was abandoned in a sinking condition, on the 30th April,
in lat. 47,
long. 20, on her passage from London to Miramichi ; crew taken
off by the Isaac Hicks arrived at New York.
The Skipsey sank
a few minutes after the boat left her ; they had not time to
save her water ; only one barrel of pork and — bags of
bread were brought off.
Belfast, 20th April — Advertised for Quebec with passengers,

Duel.— A meeting took place at Champlain, in
the United States, between Mr. W—r, a barrister practising
with considerable success in our Courts, and Mr. S—y, a
young Gentleman, studying the Law, in this City [Montreal].
Shots were exchanged, when Mr. S's ball struck the top of one
of Mr. W's fingers, on the pistol hand, penetrated his clothing
and left a slight black mark on his right side. Mr. W's ball
did not take effect. The friends of the parties then interfered,
and after a satisfactory explanation this unpleasant affair was
adjusted, and the principals arrived in town on Thursday evening.
The cause of the misunderstanding, we are informed, arose from
some observation, which Mr. W. is alleged to have made in an
address to a jury, on a recent trial, in the result of which,
a particular friend of Mr. S. was materially interested, but
whose professional calling forbade him to seek redress in the
way which those who call themselves men of honour consider
the most proper. We are told that the parties intended to settle
the matter nearer home, but the civil authority understanding
their intentions, they were bound in heavy penalties to keep
the peace within His Majesty's dominions, and accordingly they
went beyond the line. |

Dr. Franklin [Benjamin Franklin] left 4444 dollars
[$4444.44] to the city of Philadelphia to be loaned
to young mechanics in sums not exceeding 2 0 dollars [$260
?], to one at 5 percent interest. This fund has increased
13,152. Dr. F. calculated that in 100 years the fund would amount
to 580,140, of which about 500,000 were to be appropriated to
public purposes, and the rest remain to accomodate and accumulate
as before. |

On Saturday sennight (seven nights / one week), a
beautiful ship of about 330 tons, called Chieftain, belonging
to James Miller Esq., was safely launched from Johnson's ship
yard.
On Saturday last, a fine ship of about 350 tons, called the Erie,
belonging to Messrs. Gillespie, Moffatt & Co., was launched from
Young's ship yard. In consequence of the ways not being laid
far enough into the river, she received some injury.— Gazette |

Colonel Bye (By), of the Royal Engineers, has been
in Montreal some days. (Lieut.-Col. John By and his family
arrived at Quebec aboard the bark
Endeavour on May 30th and continued to Montreal about
the Steam Boat New
Swiftsure, on June 1st.) The object of this officer's
visit to Canada, is, we understand, to construct and superintend
the completion of a Canal intended to be cut between Kingston
in the upper Province, and the Ottawa River, a work which will
greatly increase the prosperity of this country. When this and
the Wellend Canal will be finished, there will be an uninterrupted
line of navigation from the upper Lakes to the Ocean, which will
draw the commerce of the extensive Western country through these
provinces ; as the facility of transporting property by this
route will be infinitely superior to that of the N.York Canal,
independently of the advantage which it will afford our fellow
subjects in Upper Canada for making their remittances to the
cities of Montreal and Quebec. But another transport benefit
will be derived from this intended improvement should this country
at any future period (which we hope is very remote) be engaged
in warfare with the U.States. Arms, and military stores of all
descriptions can be forwarded with safety from one extremity
of Canada to the other, without any risque of their falling into
the enemy's hands, as was the case during the last war, by which
both the government and individuals, suffered materially. As
this great work will be undertaken, and carried on by the British
Government, there is no necessity for saying that it will be
well and speedily executed, and the vast sum which will necessarilly
be expended in the country will be a seasonable relief to the
inhabitants in these times of pecuniary distress. We are informed
that no less that between two and three hundred thousand pounds
sterling have been appropriated for the accomplishment of this
desirable purpose, for which set of bounty towards Canada, (just
to please our Brother of the Spectator) we feel no
disposition of blaming either the Canadians, or the economical gentlemen
of the House of Assembly, as he insinuated in his truly independent paper of Saturday.
[Col. By superintended the building of the canal to connect
Kingston on Lake Ontario, up the Rideau to the join the settlement
near the Chaudière falls of the Ottawa River. That settlement
became known as "Bytown." In 1847 it was incorporated
as a Town, and on December 18th 1854, was renamed Ottawa. Ottawa
was selected as the Federal Capital of Canada by Queen Victoria
in 1857.] |

Prince Edward's Island, May 30.— The Mary,
Leblanc, arrived this morning in four days from Halifax — She
touched country harbour where Mr. Gainford, a passenger, saw
the master of a
Workington vessel, who was put on shore there by an American
vessel, which had taken him off Sable Island where his vessel
had been cast away. She was loaded with salt and bound for Halifax,
but our informant forgot her name. He was further informed by
the same person, that previous to his leaving Sable Island, a
ship from Dublin bound to Quebec with 115 passengers, had struck
against the shoals which extend to a considerable distance from
the Island and was a complete wreck. Did not know her name — seven
hands were lost by the swamping of a boat in attempting to reach
shore. When the master of the Workington vessel left the Island
about 80 passengers were still on the wreck, which was at a great
distance from the shore. — There is no doubt that this
vessel is the ship Nassau, from Dublin for this port with settlers,
which had been for some time expected, and was reported to have
been lost on St. Paul's Island.
note: It was the Nassau,

On Saturday last, an articled seaman named William McCutcheon,
on board the barque General Wolfe, now lying
in port, was convicted of having carried his clothes and bedding
away, with the intention of deserting. He was sentenced to be

Wolfe sail before the expiration of that period, he be put on
board the said vessel. |

From the N.York Albion, 10th June |
Wreck of the British brig Skipsey.— On
the night of the 20th April the ship Isaac Hicks,
Captain Moison, of New York, in lat. 47, long. 20W fell in with
the above vessel in a sinking condition, took off the crew and
brought them to New York. On the passage, the crew of the Skipsey was
called on to assist in working the vessel that had taken them
off the wreck, which order three of them refused to comply
with, and one being very insolent, Captain Moison ordered corporal
punishment to be inflicted on him. On the arrival of the Isaac
Hicks in this port, the man who had received the punishment,
prosecuted Captain William Moison in the Marine Court, and recovered
50 dols. 43 dols. expenses. It is not a part of the plan of our
paper of our paper to impugn the Tribunals of this country ;
we therefore make no comment on the verdict of the Court alluded
to, but content ourselves with giving the following letter from
H.M. Consul to Captain Moison. We are happy to say that the part
taken by Mr. Buchanan on this occasion, has drawn forth the most
unqualified approbation of the whole community. |
BRITISH CONSULATE, New York, 5th June, 1826 |
Sir,— I regret you should have met so ungrateful a return
for your successful and humane efforts, in saving the lives of
the master and crew of the British brig Skipsey.
Your generous conduct, is not requiring renumeration for the
support you afforded
the crew so long on board your ship, as also the terms in which
Captain Reid spoke to me of your uniform sympathy and kindness,
demand from me this public expression of my thanks.
The fine and costs to which you have been subjected, by the ungrateful
and scandalous conduct of one of the crew, whose life you saved.
I feel it my duty to discharge, assuring you of the just feeling
of respect your conduct calls forth. |
I remain, sir, your obedient servant,
James Buchanan |

Melancholy Consequence of the long drought. (Quebec) |
From every part of this district we hear the most lamentable
comlaints of the crops. One farmer has acquainted us that, in
a piece of meadow land, where in former years he used to cut
nearly 4000 bundles of hay, it is his opinion he will not have
any crop, and that if rain does not speedily come to the relief
of the pasturage, he will be obliged to turn his cattle into
the place fenced off as a meadow. The grain crops are actually
perishing for want of moisture, and unless providence in the
plentitude of its bounty does not interfere the prospects before
us are alarming in the extreme.— We are now beginning to
feel the effects of the depreciation of trade in England ; the
recent failures there, have deprived many Canadian merchants
of the resources they formerly possessed, which has reduced the
circulation of money in these provinces lower thanit has been
known for the last 20 years.— Although this is a gloomy
picture, yet it is not only a true one, but a darker shade may
still be added. From the appearance of our country at this advanced
season, there is no cause for expecting an abundant harvest,
but on the contrary, there is great reason to doubt that the
supply of provisions for the ensuing winter will be insufficient
for the consumption of our population !!! |

Small Pox.— We hear that a young man 18 years
of age by the name of Pepin has died yesterday at St. Leonard,
Longue Pointe, that a sister of his, a little younger, is not
expected to live and that several children are affected in the
neighbourhood with that complaint.— We have had some reports
of the disease prevailing on the other side of town. Parents
and guardians of children not already vaccinated ought not to
neglect any longer the only specific known previous to the introduction
in this City of that dreadful disease.— Canadian Spectator |

Boat Races.— A few days ago, the boats belonging
to the brigs Ontario, and St. Lawrence,
now lying in this harbour, were matched against each other, to
run from the outlet of the Canal to a given point, opposite to
the New Market, and back. They were each manned by five expert
Oarsmen belonging to their respective ships' companies and steered
by the Captains of the vessels to which the boats belonged.— The
race was well contested, and the dexterity of the rowers was
the admiration of the spectators. After a hard tug up the stream,
in returning, the victory was on the side of the Ontario's boat,
which arrived at the starting point a short time before its opponent. |

Extract of a letter from Mr. William Hudson,
to his father Captain Hudson, superintendent of Sable Island,
now in Halifax,
dated — |
May 15, 1826 |
"On Thursday night, April 27, the brig Traveller,
Capt. Penrice, from Liverpool for Halifax, with a cargo of salt
&c., was cast
away on the outer end of the N.E. bar, and on Saturday following,
the master and crew got safe on shore in two boats, about half
a mile below the middle house. We instantly used out best endeavours
to get the boats secured, and the clothing &c. of the people
brought to the House ; making them all as comfortable as possible.
Capt. P. wishing to proceed to Halifax with the least possible
delay, we assisted his Carpenter in fitting out one of the boats
for that purpose. We have been completely round the Island '
but found nothing of the wreck, excepting some few small pieces.
"On Saturday the 13th inst. saw a ship on the N.W. Bar, and instantly
endeavoured to ascertain her information :— Two boats,
crowded with people, were seen coming from her— 37 of whom
got on shore ; but 7 (5 men and 2 women) unfortunately perished
in the surf. The ship was bound from Ireland for Quebec ; with
140 passengers upwards of 80 including the Captain, were left
on board : and the long boat being stove on the beach, it was
indeed most dreadful to see men women and children, to whom we
could then give no assistance. On Monday May 15th, sent two boats
off hoping to save the unfortunate people yet on the wreck ;
which is a considerable distance from the land — as far
as little Island. We shall look anxiously for relief."
The ship was the Nassau, Captain Kenny from
Dublin, with passengers only . .

(Montreal) Steam Boat Accident.— On Wednesday
last as the Steam Boat Edmund Henry was on her
passage from this City to Laprairie, she struck against a rock
on the edge of the channel, which entered her bottom, and admitted
the water in such quantities, as to render it necessary for her
to return to port with the greatest expedition, the pumps being
insufficient to keep her clear. She sunk almost immediately after
she arrived in the harbour. The steam boat William Annesley,
which was also on her way to Laprairie at the time the above
accident occurred, endeavoured to get along-side the E.
Henry,
in order to render assistance, which was called for by the passengers
on board the E. Henry, but in doing so, an accident
happened to her machinery which obliged her to make for the shore
as soon as possible. We hear the Edmund Henry will
be obliged to go to Quebec for repairs, but the damage sustained
by the
other can be remedied in a day or two.
It is to be regretted that there is no dock in this place where
Steam vessels could be repaired when accidents befall them, as
it is not only a great expence to the owners to be under the
neccessity of sending them to Quebec, but an inconvenience to
the public, at this season of the year particularly. |

The Weather.— Little or no variation in the
weather has been experienced by us for the last week— the
air, in general, has been cool and pleasant, and the thermometer
arriving at 80 on one occasion.— The average has been 60.— This
day affords us some indications of rain, which, no doubt, will
contribute to realize our hopes in the improvement of agricultural
concern. The vegetation, hitherto, has been rapid and luxuriant.
In the gardens of this neighbourhood, considerable damage, however
has been occasioned by the ravages of the black fly and grub
worm.— Kingston Chronicle, 16th June |
|
Another detachment of the 79th regiment arrived here from York,
on Sunday, under the command of Lieutenant Grubb, on their route
to Montreal. The detachments of the Royal Artillery, from Drummonds
Island and Amherstburgh, arrived also on that evening by the
same conveyance.— Kingston Chronicle, 16th June |
|
The body of Patrick Dignam, a private of the 68th who was drowned
while swimming between Cedar Island and the Fort, was picked
up a few days ago. An inquest, of course, was held upon it, when
the jury returned their verdict of "accidental death by drowning."

Quebec, June 24th, 1826
The brig Carrington, which has been engaged
under contract from Mr. W. Stephenson, merchant, as a Colonial
vessel, and by him fitted out with a neat, and for the size of
the vessel, singularly commodious cabin, will, we understand,
sail in the course of next week, on a cruise to the Bay of Chaleurs,
Gaspé, &c. Six small brass guns have been placed on board, merely
as a saluting battery, and her crew is to be assisted by a detachment
of men from one of the regiments in the garrison. |
|
The passengers, 120 in number, on board of the Nassau,
Kenny, from Ireland for this port, wrecked on Sable Island, have
all been saved except seven. More arrived on the 3rd inst. at
Halifax : they were [ver] distressed, and subscriptions were
generously [provided] by the merchants of Halifax for their relief. |
|
The steam-boat Le Canadien which was damaged
by fire at Laprairie, was re-launched last Saturday from the
place where she was drawn up for the purpose of being repaired.
She has had twelve or fifteen feet added to her length, and her
name changed to The Waterloo.
Lat Friday evening, between nine and ten o'clock, owing to the
darkness of the night, the steam-boats New Swiftsure and Hercules ran
against each other near the wharf at William Henry [Sorel].
The former received considerable damage, having her right wing
nearly carried away ; the latter had her cutwater and figure-head
carried away, and one of her anchors broken. The Hercules was
coming out and the New Swiftsure was going in. |

From the circumstances of the clearances which have taken place
at Quebec, and the departure of vessels from this port, partially
loaded, as we are creditably informed, it must leave the disponding
Lumber merchant in a most forlorn hope. A few years ago the editor
of this paper gave an essay upon the system of lumbering, which
at this time might be looked upon as prophecy ; the principle
was scouted as visionary, and the popular voice, proped [sic]
by the oracles of Authority, made it prudent for the editor not
to urge those convictions of his, which were, that it was better
for the industrious farmer to cultivate his farm than yearly
cast his hard earnings upon the waters. The principle then advocated
was, that in every township where lumbering was persued, the
farms universally went to ruin, the morals of the people were
undetermined, and the education of youth were entirely neglected— and
that, was this deceptive business less attended to, School-houses,
Churches and cultivated fields, would soon usurp the place of
barren fields and despoiled forests. |

The Steamboats Annesley and Edmund
Henry have both been repaired
and are now plying regularly between this [city and] Lapraire.
The Edmund Henry, from the extra power of her machinery is said
to be capable of ascending the rapids from this to Laprairie
in a shorter space of time than any boat that has ever been employed
upon that line.
Steam Boat Laprairie.— An evil
report has within a few days since been in circulation that this
Boat had met with a very serious disaster in her trip from Quebec
to Kamouraska. To those who may have heard the report and not
of heard to the contrary, we are happy to inform, that she has
since arrived here without having received any injury, except
what may have been inflicted by public rumour.
On Tuesday last, as the steam boat Richelieu was
going into William Henry [Sorel], a boy in making an attempt
to jump on board before she got close to the wharf, fell into
the river, and would have been drowned, had it not been for the
humane and prompt assistance of Mr. Martelle, Steward of the
boat, who plunged in and rescued him from a watery grave.— Gazette |

Fatal Accident.— Yesterday morning about five
o'clock William McKutcheon, a sailor on board the Steam Boat Lady
Sherbrook,
while lowering the sail on the foreyard of the vessel, lost his
balance & fell upon the engine house, where he was instantly
killed by the fall. He was a native of Scotland, about 25 years
old, and came out to this country the last Spring as a sailor
in the ship General Wolfe, from Glasgow. |

Shipping Intelligence:
The number of vessels arrived during
the past week amounts to 36, which far exceeds what could be
expected
at this
period,
and many more are reported in the river. They are principally
in ballast and will load with lumber. As the market at present
is literally glutted with almost every description of this article
of export, there is no danger of a deficiency even should the
arrivals this season nearly double those of last year ; but it
is to be regretted that the prices in this country as well as
in Great Britain, are now so low as to afford no very favourable
prospect of a fair remuneration either to the holder or shipper. |
Warm Weather.— The Thermometer has for the

The arrivals this morning report 50 sail having been in
company on Sunday evening last off Kamouraska, of which number
it will be seen only 14 have come up to Quebec. several of
those vessels are of large burthen and have usually sailed
for this port earlier in the season. |
|
The Army.—
A detachment belonging to the 71st Highland Light Infantry Regiment,
embarked at Plymouth, on the 20th May, on board the Vittoria transport
for Quebec. A detachment belonging to the 81st Regiment of
Foot, embarked at Portsmouth on the 18th May on board the Frinsbury transport,
for Halifax. Detachments belonging to 52nd and 81st Regiment
of Infantry, embarked on board the Borodino transport
on the 27th May, at Portsmouth, for Halifax. Detachments belonging
to 27th and 70th Regiments of Infantry, marched yesterday morning
from Westminster, for Portsmouth. Detachments oth the 76th
Regiment of Foot, marched yesterday morning from Westminster,
for Jersey. |
|
Quick Passage.— On Wednesday evening 5th inst. the Steam
Boat Edmund Henry, Capt. Polite, master, left
Laprairie with passengers, landed the same at this port, and
remained 15 or 18 minutes and returned to Laprairie in the short
space of one hour and 53 minutes from the time she left there. |
|
Buffalo Harbour.— Twenty-two sail of Lake vessels
were collected in Buffalo creek, on Monday last, including several
of the largest class, with one Steam Boat. Among them was one
of 50 tons burthen, which was built near Rochester, Munro county,
and arrived by way of the Erie Canal ! Her spars were on board,
fitted for their places and she is now preparing for the lake
service. On her arrival at Lockport she was found four inches
wider than the Locks, but by loading one side of her deck
with grindstones she was thrown down upon her side so as to pass
safely !
It is but a few weeks since vessels built in Ohio, passed this
place on their destination upon the canal ; and there is now
a vessel in port, from the upper Lakes, which after taking out
her masts, is to pass through the Erie Canal, to be ultimately
employed in the trade on the North River. At the Detroit Custom
House this vessel cleared for the port of New York.— Buffalo

and now lying at the ballast ground was struck by lightning about
eleven o'clock last night, during the heavy thunder gust. The

Labourer's Wanted:— We are informed that a scarcity
of labourers prevails at this time on the Welland Canal ; and
that several hundred able-bodied sober men are now wanted, to
whom liberal wages will be given. The situation is healthy, there
not having been more than three or four deaths by disease, as
far as we ascertain, on the whole line of the canal, since its
commencement, and the price paid is from 10 to 13 dollars per
month. The men now employed generally enjoy good health. |
|
Travellers.— This place has been visited for the week
past, with an unusual number of Ladies and Gentlemen, from the
South, mostly taking the fashionable tour of the Springs, the
falls of Niagara, and passing on to Quebec. |
|
The steamboat New Swiftsure has been refitted and commenced
running from this to Quebec, yesterday morning. |
|
A Coroner's Inquest was held on Saturday last, before J.M.
Mondele Esq., on view of the body of John Sawyer, cook on board
the Durham-boat Interim, of Prescot, now lying
in port. The evidence went to state, that while the crew were
in the act of discharging the cargo, the deceased, in coming
out of the hatchway was knocked down by the falling of the mast,
which had been supported by a board— that he was immediately
extricated, but died in less than an hour after. The jury returned
the following verdict. That the deceased came to his death casually,
accidentally, and by misfortune, by the mast of the said boat
falling on his head.— Gazette |

Expeditious Travelling.— The steam-boat Chambly left
the port of Quebec on Friday morning last at three o'clock, and
arrived in the port of Montreal at half-past 6 o'clock on the
following morning ; left the port of Montreal on the afternoon
of the same day at twenty minutes before 5 o'clock, and arrived
in port of Quebec the following day at noon ; left the port of
Quebec at 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon, and arrived in the port
of Montreal at 6 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, performing the
three trips including all stoppages and without the use of sails,
in a little more than three days & a half. This boat, we believe,
has accomodations equal to any other boat in the river, though
the rates of her passage are considerably lower than some of
them.— Gazette |
