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)

A parsonage has been provided, also a lot of land secured on which to erect a suitable parish building for school and other purposes, as well a» providing rooms for our sexton.\u201d The preacher proceeded to refer to the immense increase of parochial work and organization in St.Peter\u2019s within the last few pears, to the special increase in the work of the Church Society in the parish, to its Guild, its temperance organization, its Ladies\u2019 Auxiliary, &c., and said that these spoke of any thing but the general decadence which we s metimes have soundad in our ears.Our congratulations are tendered to the R-v.M.M FothergiU upon the anniversary of yesterday, in uni-on with those of his con-grega'ton, from whom it is pleasing to know tnait the Rev.gentleman experiences utmost loyalty and attachment.the The Reduced Firs Rates.FURTHER DETAILS CONCERNING THE NEW CLASSIFICATION.Just as reported in the Morning Chronicle of Saturday la.t, the new fire insurance premiums are not to be fixed by any uniform reduction in existing rates, but by a house to house assessment of every risk in the city.Consequently no exfftt rate of calculating what the reduction* will be in all cases cau yet be furnished, until the city has been again scheduled as it was some thirty year» ago.It is believed that the following figures are as neir the new rates as c»n at present bo had.The most approved risks ia the city such as wholesale business houxes will be placed in Mas» \"B,\u2019\u2019(us already mentioned in Saturday\u2019s Chronicle), and will be subject to a reduc-lion in rates of fire premiums, amounting to about 14 per cent.From this classification was doubtless derived the calculation of 15 percent reduction t legraphed to Friday\u2019s Chronicle, and which will be found to be practically correct so fai as all the be^t property in the city is concerned.Other risks, including retail stores, etc., are to be rated in class \u201cC,\u201d and these, many of which have been paying for some years past the extortionate rates of $1.25 to $2 50, will be subject to a reduction of 20 to 35 per cent, according to classification and locality.Thus, property which now pays $1 in L >wer Town and $1.25 in the suburb» and in St.Roch\u2019s, will only be charged 80 cent?.So far as St R rch\u2019s is concerned, the property which will be thus charged includes only first-class risk?.Property which in St R->ch\u2019s now pay* $2.00 will probably be charged $1.25 to $1.50, while the $2.50 rate will, ia most instances, be reduced to about $1.65, though of courae much will depend upon the classification.Another advantage to be offered insurers in Quebec will be the op-tion of insuring for three years by paying in advance the premium for two.This privilege was ftrmerly enjoyed here, but was withdrawn by the underwriters when they doubled the rates of insurance.It is gratifying to know that much of the credit for the coining reduction ia rates, such as it is, is due to the efforts of a local institution, the Quebec Fire Assurance Company, and its president, J.G.Clapham.E-q.The matter has been urged upon the Fire Underwriters\u2019 Association in Montreal with great persistency by Mr.Clap-ham and the members and officers of his board, and it was also due to their representations that the reduction of 25 per cent was obtained in 1884.No official notification of the new rates bas yet been received from Montreal, and it ap-nrar* that a couple of month» or so must elapse before they can come into effect.We don\u2019t wish to deter anybody from being p dite, but we can\u2019t help observing that many a man has been a heavy (ossr through a civil BCtum.\ti ROUND TOWN.The Latest Local Intelligence \u2014The Garrison Club has issued card» for an \u201c At Home\u201d to-morrow night.\u2014Tne School of Art and Design iu this city will optn about the 1st November.\u2014A ynucsr man wa» Fenteeced to two mon\u2018h» imprisonment at the Reccrdor\u2019aCourt on SiturJay for mat ng a disturbance.Invasion\u2014The f rni -1 invbsidi of Quebec by a detachment of the Sa\u2019v.ton Army is expect.d to :ak-» place on Sunday mxt.8.8.\"Otter.\u201d\u2014This tt.amer raving lecn del*ycl by tho late wester\u2019y gale», will not leave p .rt until Tuesday u*.U s reasoning was very forcible, bis arguir.en's were Wrll sustained ;

I\u2019ve watched that trout for days and days, I\u2019ve tried him with all sorts of tackle ; With flies got up in various ways.Red, blue, green, gray, and silver-hackle.I\u2019ve tempted him with angle-dog*, And grubs, that must have been quite trying.Thrown deftly in betwixt old logs, Where, probably, he might be lying.Sometimes I\u2019ve had a vicious bite,\tB And as the silk was tautly running, H we been convinced I had him, quite ; But \u2019twasu\u2019t him ; he.was too cunning.I\u2019ve tried him, when the silver moon Shoae on my dew-bespangled trousers, With dartfish ; but he was \u201ctoo soon\u201d\u2014 Though, sooth to say, I caught some rousers; And sadly viewed the ones I caught, They lo .med so small and seemed so poor.\u2019Twas finding pebbles where one sought A gem of price\u2014a Kohinoor.I\u2019ve often weighed him (with my eyes).As he witn most prodigious flounces Rose to the s irface after flies.(He weighs four pounds and seven ounces.)

or, an anewer may be sought from the behavior of fishes under conditions calculated to produce paio.Each metfiod of investigation is a check upon aod a supplement of the other ; nor can the investigation be considered complete until both have been followed to a conclusion, and the results afforded by each have been found to be in accord.Should each member of the angling fraternity contribute to some common center such incidents in his personal experience as seemed to bear upon the question, facts probably of value and certainly of interest would be made matters of record, and be rescued from oblivion Induced by the hope that others will follow my example aod contribute to the Forest and Stream such events of like charac-tsr as may be within their own knowledge, I relate the following : On the 31st day of last July, on the Grand CLscapedia River, in Canada, my fly was taken by a salmon with about the average de-grte of vigor ordinarily displayed by that fish.A swirl on the surface ot tne water, there some seven or eight feet deep, first showed toe presence of the fish.Then the fly was dragged downward, to which the usual respo -se of throwing the spring of the rud up m the fish was of course promptly made.As is not unusual with salmon, the fish seemed to return to its lair, where for some moment* it remained perfectly passive.We were in doubt at first whether it was a salmon or a large sea trout, the flsh itself not having shown when the fly was taken.But tne drag on the line remaining steadily down ward and straight away\u2014a characteristic of ihe salmon\u2014rather than swerving off to one side, as is the usual course of the sea trout, we concluded it was a salmon, and, raising the anchor, prepared for battle.To this overture the fish promptly responded by a dash of some sixty or seventy yards, ending the run by a beautiful leap into the air.We then noticed something red on its abdomen, and supposed some one had raked it with a gaff.Upon regaining the water the fish remained quiescent for a moment or two which interval was improved by approaching it with the canoe and regaining line.Then it was off again m another brilliant run, ending in a second leap into the air.In brief, the fish fought for some twenty five or thirty minutes with a vigor decidedly up to, if not beyond, the average, leaping in all three times aud making quite a number of energetic aod protracted runs.But time pressed, so we put iu practice a perfectly feasible, but to me very distasteful method of abridging the con'est.We had by chat time worked tne sa\u2019mon down stream into quite deep and rather sluggish water Keeping up au even strain and gradually shortening line, the canoe was slpwly brought up to and over the unsuspecting fish.My gaffer, seizing an opportune moment, sank ms gaff beneath it, and the next moment it was floundering in the bottom of the canoe When there I never saw a fish display more vigor.It thrasned and banged upon the bottom and sides of the oanoe so that the noise was heard and commented on by gentl-mau fishing some three-quarters of mile above.In short, I feel confident that no salmon fisherman would have charged this fish from first to last with any lack of energy io its struggle for liberty aud life.Yet about four inches in front of the vent a pyramid of flesh had been bitten out of its beily measuring about 3 in.fore and aft and about 3| in.in the direction toward the backbone.Both walls of the abdominal cavity and its contents were removed wjthin this area, the wound exten ling to tne flesh situât e-1 between the backbone and that cavity.had; of course, no means of weighing the missing portion of the fish, but I then estimated that it wouhi rather exceed than fall short of a third of a pound.I have qualified the measurements given above by tbe word \u201cabout,\" because from lack of means, they were estimated and not actually measured.But a limit of error of half an inch will cer tainly more than cover aoy inaccuracy.The wound was perfectly raw and fresh in appearance.Older than forty-eight boors it certainly could not have been, while it looked to me as though two hours, or even les*, would be very much nearer the mark.It is sup posed to be the work of an otter.This salmon weighed 25 lbs.plump just as it was after it had been killed.Henry P.Wells New York, Oct.8.Union Bank of Canada\u2014The new note of §5 and upwards have been recently i-sued by tnis b mg.They are well g -t up aud can not.we he»r, bo forged.They are printed by the Canada Bmk Note Company of which Mr.George Desbarats is President.This company is coming rapidly into favour with banks and insurance companies.Btrk IicmGcDc t to » l»lii-us Me ms.Nall \u2022 ,I)l J\u2019nin m Hu-S e, A i: ablesuccves I ;t3 Ik ivlirve e\u2019i ll.c troubles injr I.- of theI -ni,«urh an 1)-?.-viic.t- .1;
