Already many thousands have fallen a sacrifice to the Fever, and I fear it may be confidently anticipated that an equal number will die before the cold weather sets in. The very great alarm that has existed in the towns and cities where the emigrants have landed, though at present in some measure lulled, from the apparent reduced rate of mortality is in no wise reduced. It is fallacious to imagine that the weekly returns from the various hospitals are a pulse of the existing distress, for thousands of these poor creatures have already been absorbed into districts where it was their intention to locate themselves; but even there the ravages of disease have not spared them, for it is to be feared that numbers have died of whose deaths we have no official return.
This fearful sickness, I am convinced, is precipitated by the manner in which the poor creatures are huddled together in such numbers and into such vessels as are too frequently, entirely unadapted to the purpose of passenger ships. The idea that the Fever originates from the starved condition, and consequent impoverished constitutions, with which the people embark, I believe to be incorrect; although there cannot be a doubt that the disease was in existence in Ireland previous to their embarkation, and as little doubt that constitutions impoverished by starvation are more predisposed to prevailing disorders than men in full health and well fed.
Every one acquaintsd[sic] with emigration will be forcibly struck with the utter impossibility of preserving such a vast number of people so crowded together in even if I may use the term a moderate state of health, if even the vessels were not subject to the vicissitudes of a sea voyage; the space apportioned to passengers, where numbers are apportioned to tonnage, or deck superficies, is insufficient for that convenience and comfort so essential to the preservation of cleanliness and health.
The system of apportioning number to deck space or tonnage, I conceive to be bad; for to any one acquainted with ships, it is a well known fact that two vessels of equal tonnage have not equal facilities for accommodation, and closeness in a contaminated atmosphere is well known to be highly prejudicial to health; and where the are three or four hundred passengers, the best of them only in a moderate state of health, existing in the between decks of a vessel with her hatches battened down during theavy weather, if the seeds of infection are there, they will strike with deadly effect; where under other circumstances, in the majority of cases, they would probably be harmless.
In a conversation I lately had with the intelligent master of the ship Elizabeth , that brought passengers from Liverpool, he informed me that the majority of the deaths amongst infants on his passage were caused by suffocation, whilst sleeping with their parents during heavy weather.
This fact is appalling. That a mother who gave her child birth and hailed its existence with fond hopes of future happiness, should unconsciously, during a moment whilst her feelings were blunted by a temporary sickness, deprive it of life! Could such casualties as these not be averted, or at least reduced, by the adoption of a better and more humane system than the present?
The Act of may, , which exempted vessels carrying more than fifty passengers, on a North American voyage, from the obligation of carrying a Medical Practitioner, was, in my humble opinion, the death knell to thousands of those who since sailed for out shores. Under ordinary citcumstances[sic], intelligent Captains of vessels may successfully combat the common diseases incident to a sea voyage; but, when malignant and infectious diseases break out, which, amongst our best qualified practitioners, require no ordinary discriminating talent to detect, and which frequently require energetic remedies to combat, I would appeal to reason and ask, under what circumstances can it be expected that a Captain, however intelligent, can possibly be of service?
It is frequently and I think justly said, "that it is easier to point out the deficiencies of a system than to suggest any other more calculated to fulfill the obligations required; but it is fallacious to imagine than any regulations immediately connected with emigrants on board, can, during the present system, to any appreciable extent, mitigate the excessive misery that unfortunately, in almost every vessel that arrives with passengers, presents itself; for to any one who has witnessed the arrival of an emigrant ship, with her full complement of passengers as by law allowed, under the present system of apportioning number to deck space and tonnage, he will be instantly struck with the utter impossibility of establishing in so crowded a space any regulation however perseveringly enforced that can hold out even a bare hope of success.
Under this impression, I therefore humbly suggest the six following propositions, firmly believing they will work successfully, if enforced with scrupulous rigour: The said bulks heads to have passages through them, so long as the people remain in a healthy condition; but in the event of contagious disease breaking out, the first bulks head being closed and rendered perfectly tight, to be converted into an hospital for the sick; but should the patients become too numerous to be accommodated therein, in that case the second bulk's head to be closed and the space similarly converted.
And it be made compulsory for ships carrying more than 50 passengers to North America to have a medical practitioner on board, and that where the number of passengers is large, that an assistant or assistants to the said practitioner be appointed, also that the chief medical practitioner have it in his power to command such precautions to be taken, and all legal regulations to be enforced as he may from circumstances deem necessary for the preservation of health, especially causing all rules for the observation of cleanliness to be rigorously obeyed.
As every new proposition which is intended to supersede an existing system ought to bear on the face of it some appearance of argument to recommend its adoption, I would humbly suggest the following reasons fro the adoption of the foregoing propositions. The places of accommodation as suggested in No. A greater amount too of professional aid would be more easily procured, should sickness break out. And an emigrant agent being on the spot would be enabled to detail to captains of vessels what were the necessary regulations to be observed in the construction of the berths.
The first bulks head would have to be constructed in such a position as to cut off as little space as possible; the second would have to allow a greater space. Those bulks heads would in no wise reduce the capacity of vessels for carrying, or in the least incommode passengers; the spaces they enclosed would be available for he people, the same as any other portion of space, so long as contagious disease was absent; and even when disease did appear, the first bulks head only would be closed, thus only requiring the few passengers that space contained to be removed.
And if unfortunately the disease spread against every precaution, in that case only would the 2 nd be required; with such a precaution it is only reasonable to think that many might be preserved, who otherwise in immediate connection with the disease would assuredly become sick: If the ship-owners, they must be refunded by an increased rate of passage money; whereas the present rates in too many instances are found too much by people who are leaving their country from poverty; yet the lamented circumstances attending emigrant vessels arriving at our shores this year shew the positive necessity of professional aid attending them during the passage, if for nothing else, at least for humanity's sake.
Would it then be ungracious to lay the burthen on the Home Government, whose paupered counties emigration is relieving by the consequent reduction of the parochial rates? Would it, I repeat, be ungracious to ask that country to find professional aid for her pauper population on their transit to our shores, when the want of that aid is entailing the misery of malignant disease amongst her colonial population, more dire and calamitous in its effects than the ravages of the cholera in ? I answer, if it is right for a government to place the diseased inhabitants of one part of her dominions the power being within her reach to check it amidst the healthy inhabitants of the remaining part of her dominions, then has the Imperial Government of Great Britain a right to inflict that severity on her colonies of North America, which did it fall upon us accidentally, would be justly considered the solemn vengeance of a frowning Deity.
But let us hope such will not continue to be the case. Great Britain is not a land where the voice of justice can long be stifled: The application of professional aid to emigrants on their passage to this colony might be made not only beneficial to emigrants, but subservient to the profession itself. For to those of the more able and forward students of the British Universities who are sufficiently qualified to undertake such a responsibility, it would be an opportunity that would afford experience, and at a time too, when, I believe, the study of Anatomy is, from the hot weather, in some degree suspended.
But there must be some stimulus applied to enforce such an inclination; that I conceive would be best effected by the offer on the part of the Home Government, of adequate compensation to such young gentlemen as were competent and chose to undertake the situation; and I am confident there are not only many intelligent and able young men in England, but also in Canada, who would, if sufficient inducement was held out, go to Great Britain in the Fall, knowing their residental expenses would be partially repaid them by the salary they would receive on their return.

Munro, one of the assistants, is also convalescent. Latest From Grosse Isle We received this morning the subjoined intelligence from Grosse Isle, reaching to yesterday, from which it will be seen that, for the week ending 7 th instant, there were deaths in all, at the hospital, the tents, and on board the vessels at the Station.
Hospital Return from 1 st to 7 th August. Remaining on the 1 st Admitted since Total Discharged Died Remaining Of the above there are cases of fever, and 78 of small pox. There were 24 deaths at the tents allotted for the healthy passengers during the same period. The bodies of 40 adults and 47 children, have been landed from the vessels there and buried on the Island.
Remaining in Hospital yesterday, Aug. This decision of the Council, we believe, was hastened by a meeting of citizens representing the Protestant population, held at the Custom House on Monday last; when it was resolved, that in the event of the Corporation declining to provide for a place of the above description, they would take immediate steps to provide a temporary hospital for the Protestant sick.
A deputation was appointed, who waited upon the Mayor, requesting he would call a special meeting to take the matter into consideration. This was accordingly done, and resulted as above mentioned. We cannot for a moment doubt the willingness of the citizens to meet the increased outlay occasioned by the fitting up and support of so desirable an institution; and we trust that the resolution of the Council will meet with that prompt despatch in execution which the alarming prevalence of disease, especially in the suburbs, so loudly calls for.
The communication on emigration signed "P. It does not require a word of encomium for us, as we feel persuaded our readers who have perused the commencement of the article have been favorably impressed with the abilities of the writer and with the manner in which he treats his subject. Such correspondents are valuable auxiliaries to the public press of any country, but more especially in one so comparatively young as Canada, where the rich vein of thought and experience they possess can be creditably and profitably employed.
Now, Mr, Editor, I come to deal with that branch of this important subject, which is manifestly fraught with much greater difficulties than the one I have just concluded, I refer to that which embodies the disposal of the emigrants on their arrival here. The thousands that come to our shores may, in mercantile language, be looked upon as an importation of raw material at a certain cost; it therefore depends upon the manner in which we deal with it, whether or no it will be profitable.
If its application is suited to the exigencies of the case, it will be so; if not, it will be otherwise. There are two grand principles to be borne in view in dealing with the subject. First, the amalgamation of British and French Canadian interests, and consequent reduction of those national jealousies and prejudices, which unfortunately exist; secondly, the opening out the resources of the country by affording channels of cheap communication with the Atlantic ports, that mercantile industry, skill and capital may be applied to the aggrandizement of the colony.
There is an opinion entertained by many, that by allowing emigrants to locate themselves without system, as chance may direct, indiscriminately over the face of the country, the object of amalgamation would be best attained; but it is evident that should indiscriminate settlement go forward, a very long period must elapse before any real change of feeling generally can be produced.
Certainly not before each party had become acquainted to a sufficient extent with each other's language, to be reciprocally enabled to interchange their ideas. This must, indeed, be the first step to the destruction of those national animosities which, whilst they exist, are not only a bane to society, but are prominently obstructive to the advance of the colony. There can, I am of opinion, be no very sanguine expectation of such happy result being attained with the present generation; but unless the seed be sown we cannot expect to reap the harvest. It is from the rising generation we must expect that happy period in the future history of Canada, when the whole colony, untinged with petty animosities or national prejudices, will feel they are one people, whose interests are the same and inseparable.
That an amalgamation of national interests is perfectly reasonable, is forcibly exemplified in and around our own city of Quebec, where the commingling of the two parties within the last twenty years has been so happily effected; yet I am inclined to think this object may be more certainly and speedily attained by other and more effectual means. I mean that of the appliance on an extensive scale of labour to the opening out the resources of the colony. That there are extensive mineral fields in the country, is probed by recent discoveries in the Upper Province, and the very mountainous appearance around our own city seems to suggest the existence of similar fields here: The first and only means that would give that turn to enterprise, is by affording us a means of continuous communication to such ports on the shores of the Atlantic, as have harbours that are never ice-bound, taht our produce and other merchandize can always be pushed forward, and merchants be enabled to realize, freed from the intolerable disadvantage and drag of having to pay warehouse rent on material and interest for 6 months on a dormant capital.
In a very able despatch from her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department to his Excellency the Governor General of Canada, published in your paper of July 28 th , it is easily seen the Home Government are alive to our wants; and we have every thing to hope from the prudence and business habits of Lord Elgin. We are there led to believe that the Mother Country will make liberal advances, but with the determination that they shall only be applied to the formation of railroads and canals.
And I am convinced in this determination the true interests of the colony are best consulted. A line of Railway to Halifax has now long been a subject of conversation; the advances necessary for pushing it forward are promised; next year in all probability we will have a large emigration. What more then, do we want, to form the elements for its execution, save energy on the part of the Provincial Government to institute an active survey. And I would humbly suggest, should such be their determination, that the following suggestions relative to emigrants form part of the system.
And that at the termination of the period of any workman, his time for settlement having arrived, the amount of his contributions, with interest thereon, be allowed in part payment for his allotment. I suggest these in the humble hope they may be of service. The detention of the healthy, at some place not distant from Quebec, would assuredly be better than their continuance on board, and if latent disease was amongst them, it would spare our citizens from the contamination and misery they have this year experienced; the vessels, as in No. The circumstances attending them this year forcibly illustrate its necessity; if we consider the detention of all the earlier arriving emigrant vessels, being a bar to their performance of a second voyage to our port, and a loss of probably more than twenty thousand pounds to our cities inasmuch as that sum would have been thrown into circulation from their disbursements, had such voyage been performed, it will not be wondered at, that such a suggestion is made; without taking into account the immense loss accruing to owners, who, instead of receiving from 46s to 50s per load, for timber from hence, will, in lieu thereof, only make from 26s to 30s from St.
Petersburg; and the benefit of ships' disbursements go to a foreign nation. O'Connell, for transplanting, as it were, a purely Irish race of people into the heart of Canada, with this difference, that it would not be attended by any serious advance of capital; and what was advanced, would be in the prosecution of a design, which, when completed, would be a permanent benefit to the Colony, and a profitable enterprise; it would place a strong British interest into the heart of the Colony, which as the work went forward, from the lateral branches that would naturally ensure, would give a speedy and direct communication with all parts of Canada, being a more effectual means of amalgamating those interests, the union of which is the only link wanting to establish the permanency of the Colony, and render our future existence as certain as that great empire, of which we form an integral part.
Of course, if this system was adopted, it would require the fostering hand of Government to assist the settlers in erecting their log houses, making their roads, and directing them, in its wisdom, to the most effectual means of clearing their land by associating themselves into Societies, as named in Lord Grey's despatch; schools and places of worship would of course be attended to, and the moral instruction of the people be in no wise neglected.
The fund suggested would be a safeguard against improvidence, and the reservation of the one third of each allotment to be at some future time paid for, is but an act of justice and self-protection to the Government itself; as it insures the repayment, with interest, for such sums as may have been laid out; the application of which was for the immediate and direct individual benefit of the people, being themselves personally unable; and instead of being considered an oppression, they would cheerfully give it.
For the hearts of the Irish peasantry, though attuned to poverty, can throb with gratitude when the hand of liberality is proffered them. They would be in a land of plenty, where misery and famine are unknown; with the most powerful Government in the world to protect them, blessed with their own institutions, amidst their own people, they would perceive with the advance of prosperity, their rise in the scale of intelligence; and once the project completed, with the tide of their produce to the ocean, would flow a constant stream of gratitude to the nation and people whose rulers had blessed them.

Quebec, August 12 th , Yesterday we had information by it of the rumoured surrender of the city of Mexico to General Scott, after a battle had been fought between the opposing forces, at Rio Frio-4 miles from the capital. If true, it is difficult to say what effect this capture of the capital will have upon the Mexicans; they are a people more obstinate than brave. It is anticipated that Quebec will be in telegraphic communication with the United States seaboard before the arrival of the 19 th August.
The fever rages amongst the Emigrants with unabated virulence; and so full had the Marine and Emigrant Hospital in this city become, that it was judged expedient by the Commissioners of the Hospital to refuse admittance to sick residents.
This determination on the part of the Commissioners led to a correspondence between our Board of Health and the Government for the use, as an hospital, of the Cavalry Barracks situated without the gates, at No. The government acceded to the request, and the building will be immediately occupied as such. On the 30 th ultimo, Lieut. Beckwith, of the Rifle Brigade, died at Kingston, of consumption.
On the 8 th instant, Capt. Pollen, of the same corps, died of congestion of the brain, at Montreal. Since the arrival of the Brigade in this country, they have to lament the loss of three officers of rank,-Colonels Ireton and Beckwith and Captain Pollen. Notwithstanding the great heat and excessive drought which the country has experienced this summer, the prospects of a plentiful harvest are highly flattering.
Our farmers are now busily engaged with haymaking, which is an abundant crop. As regards the potato, we have not yet heard of any appearance of the rot; and indications, we believe, are in favour of a good yield of fruit from the orchards. Trade has been dull, both here and at Montreal, since the commencement of the season; and the number of strangers who have visited the two cities has been much less than usual.
Our spring business was, in the first instance, considerably influenced by the late opening of the navigation; then came sickness and death in the train of emigration. To these causes, we suspect, are mainly attributable the languour which has crept over and prejudicially influenced business transactions generally, to the present period. Along with much melancholy truth a great deal of exaggeration respecting the prevalent sickness has unfortunately been put into circulation, and has unquestionably been the cause why so few American strangers have visited the province this year compared with former occasions.
The number of Emigrants arrived up to yesterday is 74, At the same period last year, 27, Increase in , 46, Some apprehension exists amongst our citizens we believe that in winter the Typhus or Ship Fever will be more destructive to human life, and more infectious than at the present season. The Board of health seem to labour under the same delusion; and "look to that period with anxiety and alarm.
But he says more; he states that "a period is fast approaching when, from the nature of the climate of this country it will be impossible to keep emigrants any longer at Grosse Isle. In winter,-especially in this country-hospitals and houses are more easily supplied with fresh, pure air, than in summer-a stove in a room decomposes partially the atmospheric air, and would wholly, where not fresh air admitted; but a ventilator in the window will let in fresh air when wanted, and one in another window opposite will permit a fresh current of pure, cold, air to pass through the room and take the place of the heated and vitiated air, which invariably ascends, as often as may be needed-an experiment so simple, that it can be frequently repeated without inconvenience to any one; and in a room so ventilated, unless the poison generated by the patient's body be inhaled, there need be little fear of infection.
It will be seen by our extract from an exceedingly able work by Robert Williams, M. Thomas hospital, London, on "Morbid Poisons," that in speaking of the treatment to prevent the Typhoid Poison he says: Lind affirms that the simple heat of a close confined fire, or the heat of an oven is a destroying power that no infection whatever can resist ;" It will be further observed that a heat of Farenheit[sic] renders the infecting virus, contained in flannels or other articles of clothing, perfectly innocuous. This some Egyptians who were wise in their generation, knew.
Men were found in Egypt fool hardy enough to wear shirts, which had been taken from the bodies of persons who had died of the plague, and to the astonishment of the uninitiated escaped unscathed; but knowledge is power; it gives to some money; to others shirts. The knowing Egyptians quickly learned that the infected linen being exposed on the sand to a powerful sun lost its infectious qualities, and they profited by their knowledge, and wore cheap shirts.
Leydoyen's Disinfecting Fluid, that which the Government Commissioners have gone to Grosse Isle to experiment with, owes its disinfecting power chiefly to the fact of its being capable of preventing the disengagement of sulphuretted hydrogen in chambers and hospitals, by destroying the poison. A common stove has the like virtue;-it rarifies the air, and hence there is a great probability that the prevailing disease will abate very considerably in winter.
Extreme dry cold, too, would have, in our opinion, a similar effect to excessive dry heat, so that a Physician or Clergyman, even leaving a patient's bed in that season with infection about his clothing, is very apt to lose it on going into the open air. We do not mean to say that no exertion should be made for obtaining accommodation for the sick; nor would we blame the Board of Health for doing all they can, to obtain it; on the contrary they deserve praise; and we are rather more desirous to allay alarm than to check the laudable exertions of the Board in their endeavours to procure suitable buildings for those who may be sick.
Quebec requires an Hospital for the reception of the Town poor, as much in ordinary times as now. It should have had one long ago; but better late than never. With regard to the "period fast approaching when from the nature of the climate of this country it will be impossible to keep emigrants any longer at Grosse Isle," the Board of Health will confer a favor by answering the following queries: Can wooden temporary erections not be as well, and as easily heated at Grosse Isle as elsewhere? Can stoves not be obtained for them'[sic] Would it be more difficult to heat a wooden temporary building in that plaguy spot than it was to heat the temporary wooden huts, built on the St.
Lewis Road for the accommodation of the sufferers by the great fires? Is it much colder at Quebec than at Grosse Isle? Is all communication with the Island then cut off?
