Titre :
Morning chronicle and commercial and shipping gazette
Sous un titre qui a varié (Morning Chronicle, Quebec Morning Chronicle, Quebec Chronicle), un journal de langue anglaise publié à Québec qui met notamment l'accent sur l'actualité commerciale et maritime. [...]
Fondé en 1847 par Robert Middleton et Charles Saint-Michel, ce journal est d'abord connu sous le nom de Morning Chronicle. Son programme éditorial est tourné vers les intérêts britanniques, ce qui plaît aux conservateurs et aux impérialistes. Toutefois, cela n'en fait pas une publication politique pour autant puisque l'on y évite les longs éditoriaux et les sujets polémiques, probablement pour se différencier du Quebec Gazette, ancien employeur de Middleton et féroce concurrent. Le contenu est plutôt centré sur l'actualité (majoritairement en provenance d'autres journaux anglais et américains), sur la vie commerciale et maritime, ainsi que sur la littérature (peu présente pendant les premières années). La ligne éditoriale du journal est définie comme suit : « [.] in the management of The Morning Chronicle we shall, therefore, begin by simply declaring, that, as we glory in our connexion with the British Empire, it will be our undeviating aim and unremitting endeavour, to create and foster a cordial attachment to those time-honoured institutions which have made her so illustrious in the annals of the world ». (May 18, 1847, p. 2)

[Traduction]
« [...] la direction de The Morning Chronicle, par conséquent, débute en déclarant simplement que, comme nous sommes très fiers de notre relation avec l'Empire Britannique, notre but sera sans détour de créer et d'entretenir un attachement aux honorables institutions britanniques, qui se sont grandement illustrées à travers l'histoire mondiale ». Sous Charles Saint-Michel (1849-1860), le journal devient le porte-parole des aspirations de la bourgeoisie commerciale anglaise et les sujets politiques prennent une part plus importante. L'esprit protectionniste, rattaché au torysme, teinte la rédaction. Durant la période de la Confédération, le Morning est utilisé comme tribune pour faire la promotion des idées de John A. Macdonald. Toutefois, l'attrait premier du journal reste avant tout la vie relative au commerce. En 1874, une fusion avec The Quebec Gazette met fin à une concurrence jugée ruineuse. Fondé en juin 1764, c'est l'un des plus vieux journaux d'Amérique du Nord. Une nouvelle entente survient en 1924. Pour mettre fin à une concurrence qui les affaiblit, le journal alors connu sous le nom de Quebec Chronicle and Quebec Gazette et le Quebec Daily Telegraph (fondé en 1875 par James Carrel, il défend les idées populaires et est reconnu comme étant libéral) s'associent et deviennent le Chronicle Telegraph. Les nouvelles prennent une place prépondérante dans les colonnes de la « nouvelle » publication. À partir de 1934, le journal est connu sous le nom The Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph. Il paraît toujours aujourd'hui. Voici les différents titres que le Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph a connus depuis ses débuts : Disponibles en ligne : The Morning Chronicle (Jan. 1847 - Nov. 1850) The Morning Chronicle and Commercial and Shipping, 1850-1888 The Morning Chronicle (Feb. 1888 - May 1888) The Quebec Morning Chronicle, 1888-1898 The Quebec Chronicle, 1898-1924 Non disponible en ligne : The Chronicle Telegraph (1925-1934) The Québec Chronicle-Telegraph (1934 à ce jour)

Of voices that we miss so much ; And memory brings the absent near, Until we almost feel the touch Of loving hands, and hear once more, The dear old voices ringing oat, A» in that happy time of yore, Kre life had caught a shade of doubt.*' ill:\t.\tIsiV Jjifi; If you should place against your ear The shell you plundered from the sea, Down in its hidden heart you hear A low oud tender melody\u2014 A murmur of the restless tide, A yearning born of memory.And tbongh it# longing» t*.denied, The shell keeps eingidg of *.he sea.And sometimes when old memories throng, Like ghost#, the chambers of oar soul, We feel the yearning deep and strong, A longing we cannot control -, To lay our cares and business by, And seek the old familiar ways, And cross home's threshold; and sit down, With comrades of our earlier days.For, though our paths ore sundered wide, We feel that we are brother yet, And by and by we turn aside, From hurrying care and worldly fret, .And each one wanders back to meet His brothers by the heart of home ; 1 think the meeting is more sweet, Because so far and wide we roam.We cross the lengthening bridge of years, Meet outstretched aands and faces true ; The silent eloquence of tears Speak welcome that words could do.But ah, the meetingholds regret I The sad and story often told, Of hands that ours have often met, Close folded under churchyard mould.Of eyes that smiled into our own, Closed in the dreamless sleep of God.A sweeter rest was never known Than theirs, beneath the grave\u2019s white sod.A tender thought for them to-night, A tribute tear from memory ; Beneath their covering of white, Sweet may their dreamlew slumber be.SEVRES CH1MWARE.JUST REOIEVKD : Breakfast Setts, Dinner Setta, Dessert Setta, Tea Setta,\ti Coffee Setta, Chamber Setta, Mouritacbe Cape and Saucers For Aale by McCAGHEY, DOLBEC A COM 24 and 26, ML Paul Street.China Tovs TEA SETS, large assortment.GLA-SSW a.r:e Id the Unique and Cbaete Fern Pattern * Decanters, Claret Juga, Water Jugs Goblets, Tumblers, Champagnes, Shernes Porta, Clarets, Water Bottles, Vase Finger Bowls, Ac.For sale by McCAGHEY DOLBEC A 00, FIREPROOF CHIMHIES.9000 Dozen Assorted.For sale by;

assemble a public meeting, in order to take into consideration the present municipal system in relation to the protection of property from the ravages of fire.Several prominent citisena have taken the organization of the meeting in hand, we are informed, as they think, with the majority of the tax payers, that the time has arrived for prompt and decisive action.An effort is being made» we understand, to organize a volunteer fire association among the merchants\u2019 clerks oMhe Lower Town, for the protection of property in that portion of the city.The fire of last night came very near proving a disastrous one to St.Bochs and St.Sauveur.How the flames were prevented from spreading among the vast pile# of square timber and sawn lumber in the Palais is a mystery tous.Cer tamly, if by extraordinary .exertions they had not been confined to the sheds in which they originated, and prevented from reaching the food, at hand, a con Bagration, to which that of Tuesday would have been but a spark, would have resulted.The thjw Harbour Commission of Quebec has been completed by the appointment of Messrs.T- H.Grant, John tiiblip and J.Chabot a* representatives of the Federal Government upon the Board.We have every reason to be satisfied with this appointment, and we applaud the selection of the Governor.Mr.T.H.Grant, Secretary of the Quebec Board of Trade, may be termed the author of the new bill, certainly he has toiled unremittingly to secure for the trade of Quebec improvements to the harbour.Mr.John Giblin is a wharf-owner, and h»» the experience of a quarter of a century in the harbour to fall back upon, and Mr.Chabofc\u2019s acquaintance with the needs of the port cannot be challenged.The new Board, or rather, by the terms of the law, the reconstructed Board, will enter office on the 1st October, just a month or so before thé close of navigation.The winter will aflbrd ample time for preparation for the summer campaign.We feel satisfied that a new era has been opened for the port of Quebec, 4nd that the change in the nature of its trade, will be met by improvements in its accommodation.The reconstructed Board will be composed as follows Messrs.R.B.Dobell and T.Ledroit, Quebec Board of Trade ; Mr- Simmons, Levis Board of Trade ; Messrs.Sharpies, Gilmour, and J.G.\tRoss, shipping interest ; Messrs.T.H.\tGrant, Giblin and Chabot, Govern-it, nine in

Vice-Admiralty for Lower Canada, has left a blank scarcely to be replaced, and some farther tribute % to his memory than those which have already appeared may not be uninteresting to the public and to the Bar.This eminent jurist, able and upright Judge, died at Cacouna, on a temporary absence from his native city of Quebec for the bénefit of his health.He was bora on the J8th December 1798, and died on the 16th of August 1873.He was the only surviving son of the late James Black, of Jedburgh, Roxburyshire, in Scotland.Principally educated by the late Dr.Wilkie, whose success in imparting knowledge to his scholars was so marked that many of them have risen to the highest distinction throughout the country, he became his favorite pupil, owing as well to his rapid proficiency in his classical and mathematical studies, as to his estimable and moral character as a youth.His legal studies were prosecuted in the office of the late Andrew Stuart, and there he acquired a lore for all that is great and £noble in the science and practice of the law.Admitted to the Bar in 1820, a partnership was formed between him and his patron which lasted nearly twenty years.The confidence of the public in his legal attainments became almost immediate and unlimited, \u2022and in every case of magnitude his services were perhaps the first to be retained.Met only of the civil and French law had he a profound knowledge, but all questions of constitutional and public law were equally familiar to him.The two minds, that of himself and Mr.Stuart, altho' in their nature opposite in some particulars were in action, when united, powerful to a degree that ensured almost invariably success for their clients.The position of Mr.Black at the Bar in the year 1835, then but thirty-six years of age, was so well established that, without the aid of political capital, now so necessary, and in many cases so injurious to the public interest in appointments to the Bench.\u2014 he was solicited to fill the office of Judge Pauet in the Court of King\u2019s Bench, after that excellent judicial jtanctionary was suspended from office by an arbitrary act of the Executive power.This ; offer he declined, altho\u2019 accompanied by a promise that should Mr.JPanet be reinstated, he should have the first vaeaneyfon the Bench.Gn the 27th December, 1836, he received a latter from the Admiralty acquainting him that the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty had appointed him Judge of the Vice Aojairalty Court for Lower Canada, an offer which he accepted.On the 5tQ of [338, he was offered a seat in the SCooncil, which he declined.On h December of the same year he wm appointed A Queen\u2019s Counsel.On the 20th September, 1839, he was offered the Solicitor Generalship of Lower Ca-jmda, which be declined.While the Con-atitcition was suspended in April.IMu, he accepted from Lord Sydenham thtf office of Special Councillor, and attended the sittings of the Council at- Montreal.On the 29th March, 1841, he was solicited by a Urge and influential body of the citizens of Quebec, to allow himself to be put in nomination to represent that city in the Legislative Assembly j to this he assented and after an unpreoedent contest, at a period of high political excitement he was successfully returned.In 1842,\tthe Governor General, with a view of adding weight to the proceedings and recommendations of the Comioiasion then about to be appointed for the revision of the statutes of the late Province of Lower Canada, expressed his desire to associate him with the Law Officers of the Crown for that purpose, an office, which with its accompanying emoluments, he also declined.On the 18th December, 1843,\tthrough the Ministry of the Hon.Denis B.Viger, he was again offered the Solicitor Generalship, which he declined.On the 6th August.1844, Mr.Secretary Daly called by direction of Sir Charles Metcalf, and offered him the office of Attorney General, which he also declined.On the 6th July, 1849, in the new judicUl arrangements, \u2018then about being made, he was offered, thro\u2019 the Ministry of the late Sir Hypolite Lafontaine, then Attorney General a Judgeship in either the Court of Appeals or the Court of original jurisdiction.In expressing his regret to the Attorney General that be was obliged to decline the honor he proposed to confer upon him, and in answer to a request in the Attorney General\u2019s letter, inviting suggestions upon the proposed appointments, and expressing a desire that he would suggest names of persons qualified for the office, he said that \u201c in the new \u201cappointments to be made it was most \u201cexpedient for rhe public interest and I \u201cam persuaded your opinion will concur \u201cwith that of his Excellency, in deeming «»f.indispensably necessary that public w-.i-lcnoe should, as far as possible, be \u2018\u2022conciliated by the selection of persons \u201cwhose moral qualities, legal attainments lJand standing in society would best fit \u201cthem for the important offices to be \u201cconferred.\u2019\u2019 j fAgain, on the 15th Jany., 18o9, he was requested by Mr.Drummond, then Attorney-General, to allow his name to be submitted to his Excellency the Governor General for the vacancy created in the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench by the decease of the late Mr.Justice Papet, a favor also declined and on the 8th May, he received a communication fronl the *ate Sir George Cartier, stating that with thé sanction of his Excellency the Governor General he had the honor to offer him the office of Chief Justice of the Superior Court, which was also declined.These facts imply an amount of public confidence in Mr.Black unlimited, and the number of offices thus offered to one individual is unparalleled in the history of this or any other country.His reputation was so well established in the United States that when still a young man he received the honorary degree of LL.D.trom Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1846, and be ranked among his friends not only the leading men of his own country but many of those in the United Sûtes, among whom may be mentioned the late Chancellor Kent, Judge Story, and hU most intiinate friend, Daniel D.Lord, one of the moat distinguished advocates that have adorned the New York Bar.Mr.Black has left behind him an imperishable monument of his fame as|a Judge in a volume of Reports published by his friend G.Okill Stuart, Esquire, a member of the ssss\t**\t* as sound authority upon important questions of civil and maritime law.Mr.Black was free irom national prejudices, and enjoyed the confidence of men aa well of British as of French origin, which wa# illustrated by his carrying measures by the aid both of the Government and the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, as was remarkably the case in his carrying through his Codification of the Criminal Law, applicable, after the Union,to the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, and now forming the Criminal Law of the whole Dominion.He was a rare instance of an independent member being able without hostility from the men in power to introduce and carry through measures of vast import ance, and it is well known to the writer of this notice that Lord .Sydenham, with the assent of these eminent men Baldwin and Lafontaine, confided to him the introducing of a legislative measure deemed of great importance to Imperial as to local interests, which he successfully carried through.Many years previous to his death, although not practising, he was aceessible to all desirous of obtaining his counsel and adviee, and upon-all questions of public and constitutional law and government his opinion was freely given, and carried infinite weight with the public and the profession, and in this way his sound and excellent judgment influenced a large portion of the public mind.His moral character was purity itself.Never was he known to utter a word or senti ment inconsistent with the most strict propriety\u2014and his life was a model of excellence of all that is good in man.His religious convictions were of a high order.He was a staunch member of the Church of England, and a most sincere admirer of its liturgy.He was a sincere Christian, whose religious feelings were manifested in the heart, rather than exhibited in external form apd ceremony, He yielded up his spirit to his Maker m tranquility and peace.For many later years of his life, a large portion of his leisure was devoted to questions legal and ecclesiastical, which have recently agitated the Church in England, and it was pleasant to those who enjoyed his society to hear his clear, sound and liberal views upon these subjects.pany to the amount of five thousand dollars (not five hundred nor

east of the St Valller toll-gate.The water has been bubbling up through the earth for some six weeks past, and the residents in the neighborhood are and have been luxuriating in a supply of fine fresh water drawn therefrom.The Water Works Department must pay attention to this outflow also.All the blame must not be laid upon the defective portion of the main in the St.Charles.Firm, Last

flames.It flared up like a match, threatening destruction to the large dies of lumber in the immediate vicinity.The Police Force and B.Battery, under command of Colonel Strange, appeared early on the ground, and rendered valuable service in clearing away the lumber surrounding the burning building, which was a crazy old structure of wood, burning Ilka tinder.There was an immense Concourse of spectat-numbers of whom set to work with the troops the police aud the fire brigade, and assisted in clearing away lumber, Ac.A good deal of sawn stuff belonging to Messrs.Gill, and Derouin was thrown Into the river, and carefully carried off by parties in boats.Messrs.Picard and Beaubien also lost a good deal.The scene was an exceedingly exciting one for a time.The firemen and troops worked with a will, giving the cold shoulder to the advice of the crowds ^of busy-bodies who thought they had the running of the concern.The water supply was weak, and tardy In coming, but a couple of good streams laid from distant hydrants did good service.It was at one time feared that the fire would spread through the timber to St.Rochs and St.Sauveur, and no inconsiderable apprehension was felt.The fire was got under about teu o\u2019clock, but the fire brigade and the police kept watch and ward all night.Atqong those present were His Worship the Mayor, the Fire Cotqmissioner, A Jam Watters, and several other well known %nd getive citizens, working hard, ami contributing lb the extin guishing of the flames.There is little if any insurance upon the property destroyed, and the total loss is about

country.THE MISSISQUOI AND BLACK RIVER VALLEY RAILWAY.An article \u2022 having appeared in our columns concerning the amount of stock reported to have been taken in this railway by the Hon.Mr.Huntington, it ia only just to this gentleman that we should insert the following letter which appeared in yesterday\u2019s issue of the Montreal Gazette :\u2014 Sut,\u2014Your correspondent \u201c H.S,\u201d in to-day\u2019s paper, ought to be a gentleman of more intelligence than to have supposed that the statements which lately appeared in the Witness anent the Missisquoi and Black River Valley Railway Company could be relied upon, especially were be at all acquainted with the source whence they purported to have been obtained.Since it is an allusion to myself, which is made the occasion of the attack, I take the liberty of saying that it is the Hon.L.S.Huntington, of Pacific Hail way fame, who is the President of our Company, and for whom, I believe, the whole Board entertain the highest regard.Mr.Huntington has stock in the Com- CJNITED S4TATE».N«w Yorx, August 21\u2014Advices from fara-gnsy to the 25th, says that a revolution beaded by Cabellers, for the overthrow of President Jov&lands, was resolved in bold stroke.Cabellers, with all his cavalry estimated at 1,600, effected a sreret detour by Benigno Ferns\u2019 right, who was endeavouring to save Ascucion from an attack, intercepted the railway communication and interposed himself between the loyal army and the capital, and by forced marches reached the outskirts, creating utmost consternation throughout the city.The Government had only 350 men.The Brazilian army of occupation numbered 1,000 men.The President, therefore, sought the Brazilian aid -, a conference was held by the Brazilian officers with the potpffîander of the rebel forces, and the result was tffe stay of the hostiles till a reply was received itojn Barrel ro, the President, in Prospect.In the meantime the streets were hastily barricaded, cannon planted to swoep the chief streets, and a few troops posted in the square.The charge of the enemy was made in two columns, consisting of 400 cavalry, 250 foot meu.Suddenly two discharges of grape and a volley of musketry forced them to retire, followed by grape afid bullets.A des-sultry fire was kept up by the besieged.The assailants left some dead and thirty wounded, and a hundred cattle.The defenders lost 7 or 8 killed and wounded.Of the loan negotiated in London £500,000 bad arrived.Advices from Rio Janerio state that the issue between the temporal and spiritual powers has assumed a graver aspect than before.Advices from Buenos Ayres state that Col.Cam roe has commenced active operations against the insurgents in En Trios.The Government troops recently defeated the insurgents at Splinas, and captured 123 priaoners.Japan advices state that the iusqrrection in the north-western part of the Island, has qnietiy suosided.Just as the rebels, nearly all of whom were formers, had assumed dangerous proportions, heavy rains set in which continued nearly two weeks.When the troops from Noquaski and other places appeared, at the same time a storm.The 150,000 people who had taken up arms in the shape of bamboo spears, have suddenly vanished.The overland mail has again been opened, but the telegraph has not been repaired.There is no doubt that this insurrection is the largest ever occnrred in the empire.Fourteen ring-leaders have beeu arrested.The Government prohibits the safe of powder and firearms among the people.Albast, N.Y., August 10\u2014A despatch received by Chief of Police Maloy, from Detectives Folk and Corwin, of Brooklyn, announces the arrest at St.Catherines, Canada, of Emil Lowenstein, the murderer of John D.Weston, in a ravine back of West Albany, on the 5th inst.Papers ajre being prepared to bring the murderer back to the States.The authorities here, thinking that Lowenstein might write to his wife, using her maiden name for an address, learned what it was from her and then notified Brooklyn detectives to be on the look out for such letters.ft was arranged that they should not lose five or six boors, which it would take to communicate with the authorities here, but go at once for Lowenstein, wherever be was.They looked for letters, secured one, opened it and found that he was at St Catherines, Canada, for which place they instantly started and captured their man.LATEST FROM MONTREAL.Mostsbal, Aug.21\u2014There is about the usual demand to day for money, which is abondant and easy at unchanged

be has labored so much in all ways to obtain, and as the Ministry cannot afford to turn him into a dangerous enemy any new arrangement must doubtless have his consent.The Government and Sir Hugh, in fact, must stand or foil together.\u201d Nearly Killed.\u2014A little boy was run over in the Upper Town yesterday morning, and narrowly escaped being killed.Rkcordkr\u2019s Court.\u2014Alfred Smith,
