The latest accounts from Quebec mention that the ice above
Cap Rouge still held ; however, the Waterloo and the Lady
of the Lake steamers left this morning for Quebec, their Masters,
being fully confident of attaining the capital without interruption,
as the ice could not possibly remain after the warm weather we
have experienced during the past week. |

Captain Collins, of the William, which is the first vessel
that has sailed from Liverpool for this country, reports the
Artemis, Margaret, Unicorn and Sir
John Beresford, to sail thence
for this port, on the 26th March. The vessels arrived saw no
ice in the Gulf or River.
The Nemesis, anchored here on Saturday evening at ten o'clock
after a passage of 21 days. The Merope sailed in company, and
the Procris, with passengers was to sail on the 31st. The Nemesis made Cape Breton seven days ago, saw no ice in the gulf, but
a good deal above Bic. |

Extract of a letter dated Quebec, Monday afternoon:— "I
have just ascertained that the Steamboat Waterloo was struck
this morning by ice near Carouge, and immediately filled with
water and sunk ; the passengers saved themselves by getting on
a piece of ice."
The passengers by the Lady of the Lake arrived on Monday afternoon
at Quebec, having landed at St. Augustin, about thirteen miles
above, not being able to get further owing to the ice at Carouge. — list of Waterloo passengers |

On Monday last about noon, a fine ship [of 312 tons], was launched
from the yard of James E. Campbell, Esquire, at Hochelaga [Montreal].
We never recollect to have seen a vessel enter the element she
was about to grace with her presence, in better style. She was
named the Royal William, and after having shipped her rudder,
was towed up into port the same day by the John Molson steamer.
[from the April 28 issue] ... ; she is a beautiful vessel, of
about 500 tons we suppose, most substantially built, upon a model
of the best sea vessels of the kind ; she will be ready to sail
before the middle of summer. She takes in her engine at Montreal
... [see articles about the Royal
William] |

The new Steamer John Bull, built for the St. Lawrence Steamboat

after which she will be towed by the British America to the wharf

be put on board. |
|
The account mentioned in our last, relative to the loss of
the Waterloo, has been confirmed by further
details, which have since reached us. Early in the morning of
Monday, she was struck
with heavy fields of ice, which had apparently become detached
from the banks of the River some distance above ; the great force
with which these drifted down upon her soon caused a leak, and
by the afternoon, she sunk, it is said, in sixty feet of water.
Nothing of her cargo is saved, and the passengers escaped with
some difficulty, by taking refuge on the ice and floating with
it until they obtained assistance from shore. No letters had
been received yesterday from the Captain from whom minute particulars
are expected.
Our Quebec Correspondent, in a letter of Wednesday afternoon,
states that one of the boats belonging to the Waterloo passed
with the Chaudiere ice in the fore part of that day ; and that
accounts had been received from tolerable authority that the
Lady of the Lake was on the rocks at St. Nicholas above the Chaudiere. |
|
The steamboat Lady of the Lake arrived in port [Montreal] yesterday
morning, from Quebec, being the first arrival from below. She
was not as much injured during the recent moving of the ice near
St. Nicholas as was at first imagined, as she lay within a small
bay, while the Waterloo was exposed to the pressure
of the floating ice. |

On Tuesday afternoon [April 26] about half-past two, the launch of the splendid new Steamer John Bull, belonging to the St. Lawrence Steamboat Company, took place at the foot of the Current. A little after two, the British America left port, with one of the largest parties in point of numbers we remember to have witnessed on board a Boat, among whom we noticed the families of nearly all our most respectable citizens, and a few distinguished strangers from Quebec and other places. The day was one of the most delightful we have had this season, for though at times the sun beamed down in a manner to render it sometimes oppressive, yet a light breeze blowing up the River tended to keep the weather comparatively cool and pleasant. The band of the 65th Regiment, which was stationed in the front of the Boat, played at intervals some of their finest airs, and added much to the enlivenment of the scene. The British America was a little below the shipyard at the time of the launch, and from it not being generally expected that it was to take place immediately, many on board did not witness the moving of the new steamer off the stocks. The concourse assembled in the shipyard, and all adjoining places commanding a view of the scene, was immense, and moored opposite the yard we noticed the ferryboat Laprairie, together with several boats and canoes crowed with spectators. The British America afterwards took the new steamer in tow, and brought her into port. Immediately after the launch the company on board the B.A. proceeded to the cabin, where a lunch had been provided by the proprietors of the newly launched steamer, After those present had done ample justice to the good things set before them, the health of our Sailor King was given with four times four. Peter McGill, Esquire, who was at the head of the table, then proposed the health of the ladies who had honoured the occasion with their presence, and afterwards gave that of John Molson, Esquire, the principal of the Saint Lawrence Steamboat Company, which he prefaced with an appropriate address, in the course of which he paid many well merited compliments to Mr. Molson for his public spirit and enterprise. Mr. M. expressed his obligations to the company in a few words of acknowledgement. Those on board disembarked about half-past five much gratified with the excursion. |

CALVIN EDSON,
THE LIVING SKELETON |
The public are respectfully informed that this wonderful curiousity has returned from Europe, where he has been visited by Sir Astley Cooper, Sir Anthony Carlisle, and most of the medical men, nobility and gentry of London ; and has also been introduced to the College of Surgeons and Physicians at Paris, and all pronounce him the most extraordinary man the world ever beheld. he has a wife and three children, the youngest but seventeen months old.
Mr. Edson was born in Stafford, Connecticut, is forty-two years of age, and weighs but 58lbs. His former weight was 135lbs. He can ride on horseback, and lift 150lbs. eats, drinks and sleeps as well as any man. He attributes the cause of his wasting to having slept on the damp ground, the night after the battle of Plattsburgh. At this time he was serving in the American Army. He describes his sensations on awaking as being those of extreme numbness and coldness. From that moment he began to waste away until the extraordinary memento he is at present. There is nothing in his dress or appearance to alarm the most delicate.
He will receive visitors for a few days only, at BELLAMY'S HOTEL, Old Market. Admittance one shilling and threepence, Children half price. Hours of receiving visits from 9 to 1, A.M. and from 3 to 9, P.M.
Montreal, April 28, 1831. |
|
note: Dr. March secures promise of gift after death to Albany Medical College of body of Calvin Edson, " Living Skeleton," age 45 years and his weight only 45 pounds, exhibited at the Museum.
The old Medical College museum was considered one of the best in the country. It contained many rare specimens collected by Drs. March, Armsby, MacNaughton, Haskins, Vander Veer and others and was especially rich in embryology, hipjoint disease, skulls and brain casts, skeletons, manikins and models. One interesting subject was the mummified body of Calvin Edson, the famous " living skeleton," who died aged 45 years in 1833, and weighed but 45 pounds. |

There were no further arrivals at Quebec up to Tuesday evening, than those mentioned in our last.
On Monday and Tuesday, though the wind blew fresh at east the whole time, no vessels made their appearance, which has given rise to the supposition that those on their voyage have encountered ice in the Gulf.
Since the above paragraphs were put in type, the Quebec Mail of this morning has arrived, bringing the letters by the Halifax packets of February and March, and announcing the arrival at Quebec on Thursday last of the Priscilla, 1st April from Liverpool, in ballast. |

TO EMIGRANTS.— |
Five or six respectable families, who can be well recommended, and have some means, will be accommodated with ONE HUNDRED ACRES of LAND each, situated on the Ottawa River, about eighty miles from Montreal, below the Rideau Canal, and exempt from fever and ague, to be paid for by labour in five years. A HOUSE and CLEARED LAND will be afforded for immediate use. Employment at the public works can be obtained during the summer. None need apply but those answering the above description.
Apply to Messrs. Buchanan & Co. St. Paul Street. |

Settlers:
Nearly 600 settlers have already arrived in the Port of Quebec, principally in the Airthy Castle from Bristol, and the Euphrosyne from Bridgwater, which brought out between them 510 souls, almost entirely families from Wiltshire and Somersetshire, the population of which have hitherto been little prone to emigrate. These people had the advantage of very short passages, and had generally as much provisions left, as, when sold, would defray the expense of their carriage to any part of the Province. They were specially recommended to H.M. Resident Agent here, who paid a prompt attention to them, and forwarded some to the settlements on the Craig Road, a few to Yamaska and the majority to Upper Canada, where, from the early season at which they will arrive, there can be little doubt of their obtaining employment, or being located in a sufficient time to make provision against next winter. They were generally healthy looking people, and few, if any, now remain unemployed, about this city. Other settlers from Yorkshire have also arrived, and been as quickly dispatched to different parts of the county. —Quebec Mercury |

Settlers:
About 800 settlers have arrived since the opening of the navigation, but the preparations to come out at the last dates were upon a far less scale than last year and any year previous for some time. A number of English paupers sent out by the Parishes have arrived ; they have, however, generally left Quebec. The object of Lord Howick's Bill seems to encourage in particular this class to emigrate. Without well directed attention to their settlement on their arrival, and some security that they shall not be a burden to us, it is obvious that the Colony will have good cause to complain. Emigrants in a similar situation have already been heavily taxed in the United States, and for the Captains bringing them out are held responsible for their support. Lord Howick's Information, as reported in the debates on the Emigration Bill, is indeed lamentable. Farm labourers are stated to receive 3s.9d. to 6s. a day, when in fact the average does not exceed 1s.6d. to 2s., and the best farm servants can be had about the towns from £20 to £30 a year exclusive of food.— Neilson's Gazette. |

STEAMBOAT GANGWAYS
To the Editor of the Montreal Gazette |
Sir,— I beg through your paper to call the attention of the Authorities to the careless slovenly way in which the gangways leading to the Steamboats are generally erected, the remedy of which will, at least, save the Province the expense of the Coroner's fees. This morning I witnessed an accident, by the breaking of the gangway of the Richelieu, which had nearly proved fatal to seven individuals, including a woman, her infant and her two little boys, who were all precipitated into the River. They belonged to the 15th Regiment. Never did I witness an instance of so great maternal affection as that of the mother for her children. Notwithstanding her being in a sinking state herself, while she held her infant to her breast, with one hand she was groping round her for the others ; and after they were pulled out she continued to cry "my children," "my children," till the boys were brought to her.

Yesterday afternoon as two little girls were ascending the planks leading to the Lady of the Lake Steamboat, carrying a large basket of linen for the boat, a man, in his hurry to get on board, pushed them off the planks into the River, where they would have perished, had not their piercing cries brought the mate and the sailors to their assistance, who succeeded in extricating them from their perilous situation. Had it been discovered who the person was, that caused the accident, and who betrayed the utmost heartlessness by never stopping to enquire as to the fate of the children, or to render assistance, the wretch would have been well ducked by some gentlemen who were on board at the time. |

Shipping Intelligence:
The Blenheim brought up part of the crew of the Brailsford, from Plymouth for Quebec, which vessel was totally wrecked on St. Peters, on the 16th ultimo, all hands saved. The Blenheim has lost an anchor.
HALIFAX, April 28.— The bark Romulus, Captain Auld, from Greenock, for this port, with general cargo and passengers, went on shore in the Bay of Islands, about seventy miles east of Halifax, at eleven o'clock in the night of Monday, the 18th instant, during a thick fog. The passengers and crew are saved, but the ship and cargo may be considered as totally lost. The loss of the ship will be a serious disappointment, her cargo consisting principally of articles immediately required for the coasting and fishing trade of the province.
Charles Taylor, chief mate of the bark Bolivar, William Vegg, master, was accidently drowned on Monday, by falling from Young's Wharf. |
|
We observe that the Canadian Giant, a man by the name of MALHOIT [sic... Modeste Mailhot], from BERTHIER, we believe, has arrived at New York from England, where he has been lately exhibited, and will remain there a short time before his return to this country. The advertisement in the NEW YORK papers says:—
"This enormous man is 65 years of age [born July 7th 1769] ; is extremely strong ; is 6 feet 4½ inches high [sic... 7 foot 4 inches, 619 lbs] ; measures around the body 7 feet ; around the calf of his leg 3 feet 4½ inches ; and his flesh is hard an firm." |

The second mate of the brig Indian was the means of saving a life of a poor woman yesterday afternoon, She had stepped into the ship's boat to get a pitcher of water, and in reaching over to do so, unfortunately overbalanced and fell into the water. She was on the point of sinking, when the individual already referred to jumped from the Indian to her assistance, and succeeded in rescuing her from her perilous situation. |

On Wednesday night last, two prisoners confined in the Gaol of this District, named Francis Philly and Richard Johnson, availed themselves of the noise and darkness of the thunder-storm to attempt an escape from prison. The sentinel on duty (John Donnovan of the 15th Regiment,) having heard a noise, gave the alarm to Captain Holland, who immediately repaired to the cell and detected the offenders in the act of making a hole through the prison wall. — Courant |

EMIGRATION |
GREAT BRITAIN |
The number of passengers leaving Hull for North America continue to be very considerable. The Lord Suffield, Ellergill, and Foster, which sailed on Saturday last, carried out between them about 500 passengers. At least 1,000 emigrants have already left that port the present season. — April 23
On Friday last the Nereid sailed from Garliestown, Wigtonshire, with 39 passengers, all of whom are bound for Upper Canada. The same day the Luna weighed anchor from Glencaple Quay, with a considerable number of agriculturists and mechanics on board. It was very affecting to witness the partings between the emigrants and their friends, and to hear the children, as the bustle increased, vainly imploring that they might be taken home. Poor innocents! their impatience was premature, and would have been greatly increased had they been at all aware of the discomfit of the long voyage, and the mighty waste of waters that lay between them and their new home in the far country wither they were bound. — Dumfries Courier |
|
IRELAND |
The emigration to America principally to the United States from this part of the country, and particularly from the estate of Sir George Featherson [sic Fetherston] , in the parish of Ardagh, within seven miles from here, exceeds all credit. This day (the 15th instant) an immense number passed through here — all Roman Catholics literally worn out in misery from the unsettled state of the country. The poor well-meaning man is without a protector to shield him from the annoyances of Ribbonsim, for, in truth, he must either become of the body, if called on to take their oaths, or quit the country ; if he remains here, and refuses to comply with the orders of designing men, the probability is that he will be murdered. — Limerick Herald
In this port the season has just approached its final close. We no longer hear its busy hum along the quays, around the passenger ships, or to and from the owners' and brokers' offices. Tuesday evening the Quebec Trader, Begly, left her moorings at the quay ; and sailed out of the harbour next morning for Prince Edward's Island, with 123 emigrants. The Bolivar, Bellord, proceeded yesterday morning for Quebec with 187 passengers. The Pandora, Baldwin, is to sail this morning for Pictou and Nova Scotia, with her full complement of passengers - about 102. For St. John's Newfoundland, we have to report the large ship Francis Mary, Grandy, with 179 passengers ; the Invulnerable, Phelan, 83 ; Maria, Mahar, 126 ; the Three Sisters, Grandy, 108 ; the Arab ? Robinson, 150. We may here remark that the proportion of children on board these vessels was unusually small. The wind is extremely favourable in quantity and direction, and it is, therefore, probable that the vessels will at once proceed to sea without long, if any, delay at Passage. — Waterford Mirror |
|
UPPER CANADA |
The steamer Niagara arrived here from Prescott on Monday morning. She brought up eighty emigrants - fifty English and thirty Irish - about half of whom were left at Cobourg, and the rest disembarked at this place. On Tuesday the Niagara returned to this port from Niagara, and took on board 105 emigrants ; chiefly English labourers and their families, whose arrival we noticed last week, who are to be landed at Cobourg, and to proceed from thence, together with the other emigrants assembled at that place, to the township of Dummer ; where they are to be settled, under the directions of the Hon. Peter Robinson, and under the immediate superintendence of Mr. McDonell, who accompanied them from this place. As we stated last week, the labouring emigrants, of whom large numbers are expected this season, are to be settled on the Crown lands ; chiefly in the townships of Dummer, and those adjoining, in the Newcastle district, including the school township of Seymour, which is represented to be a remarkably fine tract of land, and on which a village plot is immediately to be laid out — on the river Trent. The emigrants are to be supplied with provisions, for a time, by the government, and are to be employed a part of their time, in opening the necessary roads in their respective settlements.
The Queenston, Captain Meneilley, arrived here on Thursday morning from Prescott, from whence she brought 125 English emigrants, forty of whom were landed at Cobourg, and the rest were disembarked here. The Queenston proceeded from this to Burlington Bay and Niagara, and will return to York on her way to Kingston and Prescott on Sunday. After her next trip this boat will resume her regular days of sailing from Prescott and Niagara ; as per last season —viz. from the former place on Sunday mornings ; and from the latter place on Wednesday evenings ; touching at Burlington Bay on her upward voyage.
The Alciope arrived here at one o'clock, A.M. yesterday, in twenty-four hours from Kingston, three of which she was detained at Cobourg. She brought up 150 emigrants and families, 110 of whom were landed at Cobourg, and the residue at this place. They were all English, chiefly from the south western Counties — several of the families who landed at Cobourg possess considerable property, and have come out to settle in the neighbourhood of their friends, near Cobourg and Port Hope. She left this port at ten o'clock A.M. for Niagara.
The total number of emigrants who have come up, or across the lake this spring is about 620 ; more than half of whom landed at, or have since proceeded to Cobourg, to settle in the Newcastle district ; While the residue, some have obtained employment in this and the Gore District ; and some remain in this town. — York Courier, May 21.
The steamer Niagara came into this port from Prescott and Kingston on Monday morning, with thirty-five cabin passengers and forty emigrants, (twenty-five English, seven or eight Irish, and the same number of Highland Scotch,) having previously landed about 180 emigrants, including children, at Cobourg and Port Hope ; about two thirds of whom were English, and one third Irish. A schooner from Genesse River brought over ten emigrants on the same day. The Great Britain, Captain Whitney, arrived the same evening in eighteen hours from Kingston, with a number of cabin passengers, and two or three respectable families of emigrants. The Alciope brought up about sixty emigrants, thirty of whom, all English, were left at Cobourg ; and the remaining thirty, all of whom were Irish, except on family of Scotch, were landed here yesterday morning, This makes a little more than 900 emigrants who have come up the Lake this season, nearly two thirds of whom have proceeded to the Newcastle District. — York Courier, May 28. |

LOWER CANADA |
The number of emigrants arrived here since the opening of the navigation, is 13,400. The number proportionally exceeds that of any other year we think. The largest number is as usual from Ireland, and they are generally of the same description of persons as in former years, that is brought up to agricultural pursuits. The number from the country parts of England is very considerable ; they are almost wholly from among the farming classes. Those from Scotland are comparatively very few, most of them have a little money, and have set out after fixing upon the place where they would settle ; but this is not generally the case with the English and Irish. In the early part of the season it was expected that the emigration of this year would not be equal to what it was last ; but the latest advices from Ireland represent almost the whole country as is motion towards the seaports. Vessels which brought out about 300 had passages for near 1,000 asked for. It appears probable therefore, that the estimate of 40,000 is not too large for the season. Certainly a much larger proportion of the present emigration is settling in the Canadas than formerly. We do not now hear much of paupers, although several hundred were preparing at the latest date to leave Wilts [Wiltshire]. Notwithstanding the late immense influx we have seen almost no person asking alms. But a walk in the forenoon in our streets presents a population completely Irish and English, and there cannot be less than from 10 to 15 thousand passenger inhabitants in Quebec. This influx of consumers of course raises the price of provisions of every kind. — Neilson's Gazette, May 27.
The number of vessels which have arrived in port this season is 296, and the emigrants exceed 14,500, principally Irish — but there are many English and some Scotch. Most of those, who have no connections in the United States, will remain in the Canadas, and it is now generally estimated that 40,000 may be expected during the season. Few who have already arrived remain in town, especially of the English and the Scotch who generally move forward to the places where they propose to settle. Amidst this increase of population we have not yet to complain of any addition of the number of street beggars or private applicants for charity. And, though it must be a subject of regret that, in the advanced state of the works of Cape Diamond here, and those of the Rideau Canal in the Montreal district and Upper Canada, any hesitation should be made to the completion of objects on which so much has been expended, we sincerely trust that the various and extensive improvements on the roads in both Province, for which such liberal appropriations have been made from the Provincial funds, will afford employment to those whose necessities require their labouring for others before they can locate lands on their own account. The early period at which the emigrants at the present season have arrived is much in favour of their being able to provide for the ensuing winter, and the necessity of looking forward to that portion of the year in which the expense of living is increased, and the chance of employment diminished, cannot be too strongly impressed upon the minds of the strangers by all who have any intercourse with them. The following is a correct statement of the number of emigrants arrived in this port:—
Previous to Saturday 21st instant |
6,292 |
During the week ending this day, 28th instant |
8,197 |
Total |
14,589 |
— Quebec Mercury, May 28.
The number of Emigrants arrived this forenoon was 20,126. Of these 5,737 have arrived during the past week. The number actually arrived probably exceeds by fully ten percent that stated in the return. The * Pilgrim from Newry for instance returned 150 adults, and upwards of 250 souls were found on board. The same occurred with other vessels, though not to so great an extent, At the latest dates eleven vessels had sailed from Sligo and eleven more were about to follow, all with emigrants. In former years only one vessel has been known to leave that part of Ireland with settlers. — Quebec Mercury, June 4. |

The sick and the poor among the emigrants have much augmented within the last week or two. A considerable number of those without means to meet the expenses of travelling upwards have set out on foot and they beg their way or get employment when they can. Others have asked alms about the streets, and public contributions are now about being leveled [?] to transport many to Montreal by the Steamboats. The passage to Montreal is certainly high, being we believe, 10 shillings for a deck passenger without food ; it ought not to be more than half that price, and we fear as was stated by a correspondent some time ago, that the public is not well served by the united Steam Companies. — Neilson's Gazette. |
|
It is due to the Steamboat Company to state with reference to the foregoing, that deck passage to Montreal has not exceeded 7s.6d. for the last three years, and the agents have publicly said that pauper passengers, on producing satisfactory statements of their being absolutely objects of such charity, shall at all times be forwarded gratis. With respect to the public not being well served, such has been the pressure of business this season, that had there been double the number of boats and amount of tonnage, full employment would have been given to the whole. — Quebec Mercury |
|
Emigration from Ireland continues, and the numbers are so great that English vessels find it profitable to repair to the Irish ports to take in passengers ; the Brunswick, Blake, and Sophia, both of London had gone to Londonderry for this purpose, the latter on the 5th may, the former was to follow about the 20th, It is to be regretted that in the contemplation of such extensive emigration, adequate measures had not been directed, from home, for accelerating the distribution and settlement of these strangers on their arrival on this side of the Atlantic. — Quebec Mercury |

TO EMIGRANTS.— |
As the public Hospitals of the city are found insufficient to afford medical assistance to the increasing number of Emigrants arriving daily from QUEBEC and threatening this city with contagious diseases ; the undersigned Medical Practitioners, in compliance with a request from the EMIGRANT SOCIETY established for the relief of Indigent Emigrants, have associated themselves together to conduct a DISPENSARY, connected with the Building to be erected by the aforesaid Society, on the Plains of St. Anne, where all Pauper Emigrants may receive GRATIS ADVICE and MEDICINE Every Day, from 7 to 8 A.M. |
