Emigration

We have been favoured by Capt. RAMSAY, Emigration Agent at this port,
with a Quebec paper, bearing date the 28th October, from which we
learn that the quarantine establishment, at Grosse Isle, is about to
be finally closed, there being no more emigrants on the island. It
appears that the number of deaths at this station amounted to 3,452,
but to this we have to add the number of deaths which occurred on the
passage, 3,900 ; ditto, in vessels during detention at quarantine,
1,282 ; ditto, at Marine Hospital, 1.000; making a grand total of
9,634 deaths. An official return is published of the amount of money
and effects left by emigrants who died, without relatives at this
island from the 16th May to the 21st October, from which we extract
the following, in the hope that it may reach the eyes of the friends
of deceased in this country, in which case they should place
themselves in immediate communication with the Government Emigration
Agent at this port. Died, John BOURK , of ship "Unicorn", from
Londonderry, leaving 8s. 6d. and a common silver watch; James M‘KAY,
of "Marchioness of Abercorn", 10s. 4d.; Catherine RILLIE, 5£ 7s. 7 1/2
d., Bridget LAWLESS, 14s. 5 1/2d., Mary M'CALLISTER, 9s., all of ship
"Superior"; James WATSON, of "Unicorn", £45, to be sent to his father
at Sherbrooke; Catherine BRADY, of "Superior", £2 4s., sent to Mr.
BUCHANAN. Through the same source, we are in receipt of St. John, N
B., papers of the 29th ult. They contain an official return from the
Government Emigration Office, by which it appears, that up to the 1st
ult., 94 vessels arrived in the province, and landed 15,269
passengers. The deaths at sea on board these vessels amounted to 662.
Since the 1st to the 23d ult, four vessels had arrived, with 525
passengers, of which the barque "Fanny", from Londonderry, contained
223. The whole number landed in New Brunswick this season, to the 23d
October, amounted to 15,794. 'Derry Sentinel'.
