The Quebec mercury
Tout au long du XIXe siècle, le Quebec Mercury soutient les intérêts de la bourgeoisie anglophone conservatrice de Québec. [...]

Le Quebec Mercury est un journal en langue anglaise qui paraît pour la première fois à Québec le 5 janvier 1805. Il est fondé par Thomas Cary, marchand et bibliophile anglophone de Québec. D'abord hebdomadaire, il devient bihebdomadaire en 1816, trihebdomadaire en 1832, puis quotidien en 1863.

Rival du journal francophone Le Canadien, dont il a stimulé la naissance, et pourfendeur de l'ordre traditionnel du Québec francophone, le Quebec Mercury soutient les intérêts de la bourgeoisie anglophone conservatrice de Québec. Le journal appuie les décisions du gouvernement britannique et prend position dans les débats politiques du Canada, ce qui l'amène dans les premières décennies de son existence à s¿opposer régulièrement aux élus du Bas-Canada.

De facture étonnamment moderne, le Quebec Mercury présente les nouvelles locales accompagnées de nouvelles étrangères pigées dans les journaux anglais et américains. Le journal réserve dans ses pages une large place à la publicité.

Thomas Cary fils prend les rênes du journal à la retraite de son père en 1823.

Le ton francophobe des débuts s'adoucira avec les années. Thomas Cary partagera d'ailleurs la propriété du journal avec George-Paschal Desbarats de 1828 à 1848. George Thomas Cary, fils de Thomas, dirigera la publication à partir de 1855.

John Henry Willan, avocat, devient éditorialiste en 1850. Le Quebec Mercury prend alors des positions favorables à l'annexionnisme avec les États-Unis. Willan restera au journal jusqu'en 1862. En août 1862, la famille Cary met le journal en location, ce qui permet à Josiah Blackburn et à George Sheppard de prendre les postes d'éditeur et de rédacteur, dans le but d'appuyer l'homme politique réformiste John Sandfield MacDonald, qui devient premier ministre du Canada-Uni.

Le retour au pouvoir du conservateur John A. MacDonald en mars 1864 entraîne la réapparition de Willan au Quebec Mercury afin d'appuyer le projet de confédération, mais avec moins d'enthousiasme que le Morning Chronicle.

Le tirage du Quebec Mercury atteint 1000 exemplaires en 1870 et 3000 en 1898, année où George Stewart, auteur et critique littéraire, en fait l'acquisition. Le journal était demeuré la propriété de la famille Cary jusqu'en février 1890. L'homme politique libéral Joseph-Israël Tarte, proche de Wilfrid Laurier, achète le Mercury en 1902, mais la surabondance de journaux anglophones à Québec ne permet pas au journal de survivre au-delà d'octobre 1903.

that three miles\u2019space, measured from the shore, is secured to ut absolutely ; and thst te the more distant grounds of ths north ws art many leagues nearer than tha Ameri cans.The consequence of these advantages is that our fishermen can employ e smaller class of veNele than their rivals, and thereby \u2022tart with* less expansive outfit.The beet flih-iag grounds lie at their very doors, and they can use light manageable nets with great effect.It wes urged, too, by Mr.Everett, in hie note to Lord Aberdeen, that all the rough materials of the trsde-such as timber and iron, canvas* and cordsge, hooka and linea\u2014were cheaper in the colonise than the States, and that the farmer were notoriously favoured in all facilities for salting and curing.It waa in consideration, indeed, of the superiority thus enjoyed by th* colonists that the protective duties of Ihe States were instituted,\u2014an arrangement by which the Americans are saddled with a halfpenny a pound on all the fish they consume for the eatiifection of going out to fetch it themselves instead of having it brought to their deois.Now, with ths views of tha United States Government in this respect we will not at preient concern oureelvee.They have made it succeed, for they are not men easily daunted or likely to be turned aside by ordinary dif-ficulties.Mb.Feargus O\u2019Cunnor.\u2014Thie gentleman's health is rapidly improving under the care of Dr.Tuke, of whose maison de «ante he is an inmate.Moderate diet and restriction from intoxicating liquors, together with abundant exerciae, and the absence of excitement (politic»!, pecuniary, and personal), have brought round this favourable result.Asyel Mr.O'Connor has not been allowed lo tee hie friend*.The Bri isli mail «learner America which three or four weeks alnee in her last peis.ige lo England grounded on eutoring Hai fa* harbor, waa taken into the Gnring-doek, on her arriral at Lirerpoot for examination.It waa aacertained that she had received no damage.IRELAND.Two Belgian*, the proprietor and hie engi neer, have arrived in Waterford, to establish a beet sugar factory.Kiteiia, Poland, and Prussia, to the Btitiali Islande, and hence lo America and the Weal Indie*.The second factor seem* necessary to fix the first in its traniii, and censiati in Ihe miasmata arising from putrifying animal and vegetable mb.lances lef.exposed in the alleys and neglected receptacles for filth in overcrowded town», and especially in those pails of them which are ill-supplied with water and incompletely drained.The third factor ie a debilitated condition of Ihe human body, brought on by th* employment of improper articles of food, especially such as lead to loeseneea of the bowels, end hy the habitual uie of intoxieating drinks.The first of these factors has hitherto proved inscrutable in its na'ure and has resisted all attempti to limit its progress by sanitary eor dona or quarantine regulations ;
