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)

The uncertainties cf auction sales were strikingly « xhibited in the sacrifie?of much of the fi: e old wines belonging to the estate of tho Ia?e Mrs.Harrison Gray Otis yesterday.If bottles had feelings, they would certainly have uncorked them, by way of indignant or sorrowful protest at their ill usage on this occos on.Old madeira and port and sherry which have been mellowing for forty, and even sixty and more, years were treated as if they were the crude products of the list unsuccessful season.I misled at the sale the faces of many well-knowa lavers of the old wines here in Boston, and, on asking the cause of their absence, I was told by a friend that it was too early for them to be up, the time being then 3 o\u2019clock p.m.On looking at the bottles, as they lay dusty and resigned in their case?, I detected the reason why the mis'ing connoisseurs had not put in an appearance.The corks of the bottles had been sealed up, thus leaving thtir condition in painful uncertainty.One gentleman present asked the auctioneer if ha hadn\u2019t a cork to show him, and it wai this anxiety on the cork question which led the knight of the hammer to decide upon opening a bottle from each case as a sample.There was a touch of old time interest in the proceedings as the old \u201cBoardmau\u201d madeira of 1S20 was waked from its long sleep and poured out into little glasses so that its quality might be tested.The connoisseurs held the last under their nostrils before tasting, to sniff tho bouquet, and the ayine, though somewhat cloudy from having been shaken in moving about, was pronounced in excellent condition.Yet fourteen cases of this gloriusti old madeira were knocked down in little lo's for 85 cents a bottle.Then came the \u201cGovernor Brooks\u2019* madeira of 1320, of which their were only thirteen bottles, which went for 99 cents each.The \u201cJuno\u201d proved to be not iu as good condition as the other, yet, as there was only fifteen bottles, it brought $1.50.Then came the five cases of \u201cJohnston\u201d port of 1810, tho sale of which started at $1.25 a bottle and ran up to $10, yet this was not in very good condition.The

the deck is not yet laid, none of the deck houses are half finished, and not a particle of her internal arrangements is yet in place.Thera was very little ceremony at t\u2019-.e launch.This company has been building big iron vessels tor forty years, and the launching of even so fine a boat as the \u201cAlva\u201d was not made the occasion for any especial demonstration.In fact, until the owner arrived there was nothing observable beyond the ordinary routine of the ship-yard.A large number of men were employed on board the yacht in various occupations, and these Mr.Vanderbilt at once decreed should have a holiday in honor of the occasion, he, of course, paying them their full day\u2019s wages, and to the number of fifty or sixty they joyfully swarmed down the staging and off toytheir homes.The citizens of Wilmington collected in vast numbers outside the clo.-ed gates, which, at Mr.Vanderbilt\u2019s request, were thrown open as toon as he arrived, and the crowd surged in, occupying every positioa of vantage.Mr.Vanderbilt went down from this city in his private car, which was attached to the 8 o\u2019clock train over the Pennsylvania real, and arrived at Wilmington scoa after 11 o\u2019clock.With him, beside his wife, were Mrs.F.A.Yznaga, her sister, who was to christen the new boat ;

length tonnage, 256 feet; lengthen load-line, 252 feet.The intended diaft of water when fully loaded with coal, water, ballast, provisions, etc., is about 16 feet 8 inches at>.It may be sai 1 that io all her appointments the \u201cAlva\u201d will be one of the most perfect vessels afloat.She will be completed in about three mouths and will cost when ready for sea about $590,000.\u2014 New York World, Montreal Announcements.The I'annda Militia Law ^ might perhaps, to some extent, s rve as a pattern to other colonies.Under it all males capable of serving are constituted a reserve, excepting a force embodied for three years, which is termed the active militia.It numbers at present nearly 37,000.Besides frequent meetings in drill sheds, and for local rifle practice, the city militia meet at their headquarters, and the ruralin camp, annually, for twelve days\u2019 drill and erercis-.The general at present iu command thinks the time too short, and recommends that it should bo extended.The importance of so altering the law as to provide that after serving three years in the active militia, the men should be enrolled for an\u2019additienal term of three or four years as an effective reserve, was ^recently discussed in tho Dominion Senate, and the House was informed that the Government have the matter under consideration.By adopting this coursa the force might be doubled shciul.i a necessity arise.In the event of a war with any of the E a rope in powers, one of the most important servie s this force could render to the Empire would be the protection of conliug perts for tho royal navy on lioth oceans.A« 1 mg cs the fl-et can be guaranteed an ample supply of coal at Nova Scotia and Vancouver\u2019s Idaod, so long will it command both oceai s, for the protection of our own commerce and the tie*, truction of nn enemy\u2019s.As soon as the Lading colonies can be brought into such an arrangement, 1 would suggest tho annual publication of a blue book containing, among other matter, the extent and population of the different portionsof the Empire, the annual ie-uenuft raised by each, the strength of the navy, the whole military force, including the regular army, army reserve, militia, volunteers, Indian army, sud the quota of each of the colonic a, which would doubtless increase as they increased in population.If thought desirable, the whole force could be further augmented by forming a reserve to the army of India, aa well as by contingents from the beat di-ciplin-ed of the armies of the native princes.Detachments of our militia, both infantry and artillery, have frequency gone from Canada to compete at Wimbledon and Shoeburyness, and their opportunity of associating with the military of the mother conntry must have an excellent effect, fiat similar meetings of a much more practical character might be held at some suitable point in Nortb-West India, near the Afghan frontier, where occasional competition might take place between the British troops, tbe Indian army, and some of the militia from the Australian colonies and the Cape, who could ba brought at little expense by some of her Majesty\u2019s ships sta-tiono l iu those seas.Ample publicity being given of the time required to assemble such a force, it would operate advantageously in different ways.It would afford an opportunity for the Indian troops and the colonists to become acquainted.It would show the former, if their oountry were threatened with an invasion, how rapidly aid could be drawn from various quarters, and it might serve to convince Russia that if she ever attempted a descent on Iod:a, a force could be got ready to jerush any army she coaid assemble in Central As a.Tho number of in collected on these occasions would not be of so much moment as the various forces they represented, and the brief time required to bring them together.\u2014Senator Wart in Imperial Federation.SMALL PILL.SMALL DOSE.SMALL PRICE.ITUE , IVER PILLS.A POSITIVE CURE FOR SICK HEAD-ACHE.PLATE_GL.ASS.FRENCH MIRROR PLATE.Insurance against Breakage.Orders Solicited.mongenais, boivin & CO.MONTREAL.BELLH0USE, DILLON & Co.MONTREAL.Solo Agents in Canada Kr the Celebrated '* Macclesfield\u201d SULPHATE OF COPPER.Ü0NAS TRIPLE PUVQRIIiG Exmcrs HJCHSiC* HJoflas&Co.!

but it flies straight in the face of Shakespeare, and can-nut be sustained by any unimpeachable argument.We bave paid our respects to Mr.Barrstt\u2019s views on this subject and to the argument which he makes from the text of play, in an article which immediately follows this criticism, and which is entitled \u201cThe Age of Hamlet.\u201d Ihe keynote thus struck, Mr.Barrett presents the character in harmony as perfect as he can make it w th his dominant idea.There are soliloquies and speeches cf Hamlet which must be given aud which militate sharply against tins idea, but this scheme once begun can of course be followed and a definite impression produced.Ab ut this definiteness there is no mistake.Mr.Barrett represents Hamlet as a vigorous, earnest, hearty, resolute young gentleman\u2014sensitive, indeed, and emotional, warmly devoted to his father\u2019s memory, and, in the first act, very melancholy over his father\u2019s death and his mother\u2019s behavior, but a person much on the outside and much tike other peopl* in substantial qualities.It is ont that Mr.Barrett does or can ignore all the metaphysical side of Hamlet's nature, but that in his proportioning of the part the effect of that aide of Hamlet\u2019s character is so far diminished as to cease to bs significant.And the result is a personage about as much, in our judgment, like the Hamlet drawn by Shakespeare as a golden-bright, sharp, blood-stT\u2019-ing autumnal day is like a soft sombre-iutoreu bum of Indian summer.Mr.Barrett\u2019s performance has its points of magnificence, but it is not Shakespeare\u2019s Hamlet.That Mr.Barrett, while quite sincere and thoughtful in all this, has yielded unconsciously to the promptings of his own temperament and talent we cannot doubt after the performance of last evening.Whatever else of good or ill he has or lacks it is perfectly certain that he is deficient in the imaginative and poetic quality, especially that he lacks ideality.This want does not imply\u2014as we have said -that he has not mucb sensibility ; but his sensibility does not avail to touch this central point.Spirited and manly, he almost always is ; he displays originality and invention ; often he is fine and true ; not unfrequently he is sweet and tender.But it is very seldom that he reaches out of prose and into poetry.Prosey he never is ; prosaic he constantly is.In what has been said by way of criticism our readers must have already got an idea of Mr.Barrett\u2019s strength.He walks and talks from the fiist like a powerful young man ; the prince, under his treatment, glows with sudden and unaccustomed light ; displays undreamed of energies of spirit, which seem not spasmodic but profound.Whenever\u2014as in \u201cTo ba or not to be,\u201d or any of the deeper soliloquies\u2014he meditates upon great themes, he bee ;mes,-under Mr.Barrett\u2019s contrivance, dull and commonplace.But when he deals with his companions he is brilliantly manly ; with Polonius he is finely jocular ; with Ro-sencrantz and Guildenstern he is alert and intense.In his interviews with the Ghos% so long as the concrete thing is to be dealt with, Mr.Barrett is often good ; in the completeness of his terror he goes as far as any actor we have seen, but in his absolute absorption in the Ghost's personality he is beyond praise.In the quality of his manners\u2014 genial and sweet as they are\u2014we confess that we greatly miss the palish with which Mr.Bcoch aud Mr.Irving are careful to endue them ; and in this, as in many other things, a certain boyishness in the tone, so it is just Mr.Barrett\u2019s idea, is very disagreeable in its rawness.In the play-scene Mr.Barrett introduces, as an innovation, a stage set in the fields, upon the theory that the resemblance to the actual scene of the King\u2019s crime would strike bard upon his conscience.This is specious, and there is no serious objection, we think, to the novelty.Mr.Barrett concludes the scene by making H imlet, in his delirium of excitement, rush up and down the little stage delivering the wild and whirling words which the poet has put into his mouth.This idea also seems to us elever and brilliant, though the passages were not especially effective sis Mr.Barrett gave last night.In the closet scene he finds upon the Queen\u2019s table a portrait of King Clandius and uses this as one of the pictares in the great speech which follows, the other picture being that of his father which is constantly worn upon his neck.This idea was certainly clever, though to realize it neatly in performance Mr.Barrett was certainly obliged to clip one of Hamlet\u2019s very important speeches.In the graveyard scene Mr.Barrett made some fine tonches, especially in the reluctant tenderness with whicn he took and handled Yorick\u2019a skull and his sensitiveness to the grave-digger\u2019s careless handling thereof.In the forem» scene Mr.Barrett repeated with slight variation the deliberation of Signor Salvini, whsn the rapier of hie antagonist was in his hands.On his changes of the limits of the second and third acts of the play we have no particular comment to make.The acts of the received versions are not sacred in respect of their I division, and Mr.Barrett showed in the The I matter, and, indeed, in every matter, a truly scholarly intent to express Shakespeare without a thought of personal exaltation.The correct presentation in ssquence of the scenes of the fourth act is not new to Americans, who are used to Booth\u2019s prompt bcok in which none of the absurdities of the old acting copies occur.Muck of Mr.Barrett's more violent declamation, we feel that we must say, was very crude and inelegant.Hamlet\u2019s death was made very touching, and the idea of making the Prmce\u2019s last look and smile fall upon his father\u2019s portrait was beautiful, if perhaps a little overstraioed.\u2014 Boston Advertiser, 2nd Not.Gone to My Fnclc\u2019s.(From (he .'it.Louis Globe-Democrat.)
