M usscls, land crabs and lobsters might have been caught freely, if we had nets or tackle to take them with. There were no signs, whatever, of animal life. The Island, we learned. is called ‘ Anticosti,’ about middle way between Belle Isle and Caspe. It is about 120 miles long, and 40 broad,some« what, larger than I’rince Edward‘s Island. The South side is said to be inhabited by a few fishermen, .nd the pimple in charge of the light-house. The Northern beach, on which we stranded, bore tracks of freâ€" quent shipwrecks, for we came across seve~ ral masts and spars of large vessels: and there were many cuttings in the forest, and marks of encampment. THURSDAY, August 1.â€"-Bcautiful morn- ing-.~â€"â€"Set two men to erect a tent for us, and it was admitted to be the prettiest on the Island. It was constructed of poles interwoven will) branches of green fir,an(l a layer of fir tops on the ground, overwhich was spread several fouls of good broad- cloth from the wreck, in default of blankets, to‘liéuaadmmtausd but having no change of clothing ashore, we were too foot-sore to continue. the walk, our boots having dried on our feet, and caused bad wounds and inflarnation.

Fired three guns without attracting attention. At the fourth shot she altered her course, and steered towards us. Light- ed bonfires on the Island, and set nearly all the tents in flames. Great joy and com- motion among the folks ashore. Boat sent oil from .Norwcgia’n, to meet her. Proved to be the United -Ifi71gdom, with mails and passengers from Glasgow to Quebec. Agreed to take us off, and by 3 p. In. all, With the exception of two (one from the steerage, and one from the first cabin who remained behind, voluntarily,) went abroad. The two who staid on the Island. did so, under the impression of realizing something from the salvage of the wreck. One of them was said to have secreted nearly £1,000 worth of goods, but as neither provisions nor tent. canvas were left for them,,thcir position is anything but envi- able. At 9 p. m. the Afr/riocgimz, assisted by an unusual high tide, and the unceasiug efforts of the crew, gut afloat, and with three cheers from both sides, she started ahead of us, and was soon lost to sigbtu Although no one blamed the captain of the Z‘forwcgian for runningher ashore, as the weather was so fogg ', and be had lost his hearing, yet there were few who did not reprehend the manner in which be disposed of the cargo. Had a raft been construct- ed in the first instance of thp yards and spars, the goods could have been placed upon it, and would have all drifted toge- ther ashore“. or, when he knew that the cases, separately, were coming iy with the tide, he should have selected a few paSsen- gcrs to protect so much valuable property from wanton destruction. The passengers of the United Kingdom who were nearly all Scotch, received as with great kindness, and in every way maâ€" nifested their good feelings and smypathy. Some gave up their berths at night for our folks to rest in. the ves:<el having more than her full compliment of passengers aboard, and many were compelled to sleep on sofas, seats and hatches.

About 6 p. m. sighted a small schooner, and altered our course to meet her. It was the Omcard, the wreck- er which had on board (ur remaining pas- sengers, mails, and specie. Took all off, and continued our route. The schooner had not made more than 20 knots a day progress, even by fair Wind, and had nearly capsized in the storm of this morning. TVTONDAY, August bunâ€"Anchored safe- ly at 5 30 pm. in the harbour at Quebec, thankful to Providence for having preserv- ed us from the threatening dangers of ship- wreck and famine. Our rescue through the United King- dom can only be regarded as a merciful in- terposition of the Almighty. llad she not come to our release, the Norwegian would have foundered against the rocks, in the first storm, and the crew would have perished with her: those on the Island would have died from want and fear, as provisions were scarce, and bedding and clothing altogether wanting, while the reâ€" iuaining few on board the small 20 ton yacht would have died from starvation, or have sunk in the first gale.

' A TRIP TO OWEN SOUND. JOTTINGS BY THE WAY. ‘T‘RAVELLERS by the Northern Rail- way canuot fail toinotice the mark- cd improvement that has taken place in the road“, since it has come into the bands of the present Super- intendent and Managers. They have determined to put it- into a thorough state of repair, and the best proof that can be given of the wisdom of this dctermination,isthe greatly increased traffic that has been the result, and the fact that the line is beginning to be profitable, paying at the present time, a hand- some dividend to the shareholders. The greater part of the line has been re-laid, with rails of the new pat- tern, similar to those in use on the Grand Trunk ; and the journey from Toronto to Collin-gwbod may now be accomplished, with much greatâ€" er ease and comfort, than formerly. Along a great part of the way the cars run as smoothly as on any other Canadian line. The freight brought. by water from the different ports on the lake. at this season of the year,- is immense. Enormous trains, laden with heavy logs of ex- traordinary size, are also constantly passing down. At Bell Ewart, a large saw mill, owned and worked by an American company, turns out. no less than a “million feet of lumber per month ; this having been for some time accumulating. on ac- count Of the dullness Ofthe market ; the quantity piled along the track, in the vicinity ofthe station, 15 truly astonishing, and would. of itself, supply sufficient freight for the road - for several weeks. Those who wish to obtain a fa- vou ‘able view of Lake Simcoc, may do so while the train halts at the Barrie station, by ascending a plat- form on a rising ground, close to the shore, which \1“ s erected on the oc- casion of the visit of the Prince of Wales. This position commands a most excellent View of the north- ern portion of this beautiful lake, and of the town of Barrie. No more charming spot could have been settled, to give ills Royal Highness a favourable view of the picturesque scenery of the place. Having entertained ourself thus far, while the cars were in motion, with reading papers, and becoming weary of that occupation, we took a glance for a few minutes at the ap- pearance and occupations of my fellow passengers, who became less numerous as we approached the northern terminus. On the opposite side of us sat a group of youno: misses, taken on at the last station, furnished with baskets and tin ves- sels, evidently bound upon a berry- picking excursion; whose exten- sive crinoline, however, led to the reflection that the presont style of dress is very ill adapted to the busi- ness of penetrating thickets of berry- bushes, and. collecting their delici- ous burdens. Nearly opposite to these sat a youth, deeply absorbed in the contents of a rather ancient looking volume of popular songs. From the sounds that reached us, we concluded that be was commit- ting to memory the touching nar- rative which oornn‘remora‘res the sad and melancholy fate of ‘thlikins and his Dinab.’ This praisewortby perseverance in the pursuit of liter- ature, in the midst of the difficul- ties presented by the noise and jotting of the cars, of course won our warmest admiration. The town ofCollingwood has un- dergone but little change within the last two years. A great portion of the business done here. is caused by the traffic, which centres at this point as the. northern depot of the railroad. The company formed in this town for the purpose of ex- tracting oil from the species of rock denominated shale, has en- tirely failed. Their buildings and machinery were consumed by fire, and this misfortune, combined with the fact that oil is now procured In such large quantities from the rich springs or the county of Lampton, has rendered the enterprise unpro- fitable, and caused it to be aban- doned. The steamer Clifton, that plies between Collingwood and Owen Sound, is a comfortable and fast sailing vessel, owned and corn- manded by Captain Smith, the in- defaticable pioneer of steam navi- gation on this route. The fare between the two places is perhaps too high for the distance; but the :aptain asserts that the traflic is not sufficient to pay reasonable profits. Yet VVTth a commendable persever- ance, he is resolved to keep on un- til he brings it up to the paying point. It Is the general opinion that a lower fare would be the means of realizing larger retutns,by inducing a greater amount of travel. The town of Owen Sound con- tains, at the present time, almost 2,400 inhabitants. market- for an extensive and fertile tract of country, quite a brisk busi- ness is carried on. The harbour is one ot'tbe best on Lake Huron.â€" The river, which passes through the town having been deepened by dredging, vessels drawing seven or eight feet of water are. now ch- Belng the chief, a. . ...,., . ,)4.'-1t_ abled to pass up without difficulty, and deposit goods at the very centre of the business part of the town. This is a great convenience to the merchants and! traders Of the. place, and it is quite probable that. ere long extensive warehouses will line its banks. , ‘ Snider, situated on the high ridge ‘tbat surrounds the town on. three sides, an extended View of the bay and shores, to the distance of ten 01‘ lfifteen miles is Obtained. This elc- vation will form, as the town increa- ses, a very desirable site for private residences; and doubtless the fuâ€" ture merchant princes of Owen Sound will adorn it with their state- ly mansions. In the county of Grey the crops this year are said to be remarkably good. Wheat has suffered very little injury from the midge. or weevil. in. a few places the army worm has committed slight depre- dations, but the entire yield will be abundant. The greater part of it. is safely harvested, and farmers-ge- nerally are cheered with the pros- pect of better times. 7-H Whitohurch Council“.

From the Peeblesshire Advertiser. August, 3. It is with deep regret that we announce the death of the Right Honourable the Earl of 'l‘raquair. The melancholy eVent occurred at his Lordship’s seat, 'T‘raquair House, in the county, yesterday morning, at a quar tcr past ten o'clock, and was not altogether unexpccted. About two years the noble Earl had an attack paralysis which so very much enfeebled his health thet he rarely ifevcr was able to leave his room afterwards. On Wednes- day night last. he suffered a second attack, from which he never rallied, but lingered until yesterday morning, when death re- leased hini. Charles Stuart, Baron Stuart, of'lraqunir, and Earl of 'l'raquair, and ilgU Baron Linton and Calm-storm, in the peer- : age of Scotland, was born on the 3lst of January 1781, and bad consequently reached the 81st year of his age.. Tie was the son of Charles, 7th Earl of Tra- 'quair, and of Mary, daughter and co-hcir- ess of George Ravenscrot‘t, Esq, of Wick- l'iam, Lincolnshire. He succeeded to the title, as 81h Earl of Traquair, on the death of his father in 1827, and never having been married the title dies wrtn him. 'le his habitual and unostentations acts of benevolence anl charity to the poor, and . by his great liberality as a landlord, as (well as by his christian character, Lord Traquair bad endeared himself to all 5 nor vas be slow to lend his Wealth for the v furtherance of and public scheme likely to benefit the community and the country at large. “Tis last act of this kind was to subscribe the sum of £3000 to the Gala- shicls- and l’cebles Railwayâ€"a project in which he took the deepest interest, and had liOped to see cOmpleted. Of his liber- alrty as a landlord ever tenant on his estate has had many proofs. He was ever ready to listen to suggestions for the improvement of his land and the comfort and prosperity Of his tenants. In this re- spect ’l‘raquair is a model estate. Liberal to his tenantry, the late Earl, as we have said, was no less benevolent to the poor We believe that there is not in all the" neighbourhood a deserving object of charity who has not been fed by his bounty. Naturally of a retiring disposition, the late - Earl of Traquair did not mix much in public life or public affairs; few less.
