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.

h\tI ty and revenue of the line would be conducted Uic LiHglKU ca - jn oxuct relation to the equitable rights of all putable rights the parties interested.The statements on the subject, however, are so vague that it will be necessary to wait for some announcement from tlie directors.That the uiauagemeiit in Canada must be in a peculiar state of uncertainty or confusion is to be inferred from the fact that although the dividend on the second preferential bonds for JLT, 111,500, which were issued in London in May last, was dishonoured more than three weeks buck, no explanation has yet been olVered to the holders.The capital expended on this line lias been £13,783,008, and.; with tlie exception of a liability of £\u201874,000 per ! annum on a lease of tho Atlantic and St.Luw- POLICE COURT.Before J.Maguire, Esquire, I.à S.F.[Reported for the Quebec Mercury.] Thursday, 8th Nov, isoo/ 1 heft on Shipboard.\u2014James McLaughlin, a deserted Seaman, and now a runner for oue of the .Siiilurs boarding houtie keepers, in Chump- lain street, was convicted for having stolen tho the sum ol 2s.10{d.the property of the Boatswain on board the Eldorado, now in port, under tlie following circumstances.The prisoner huJK gone on board that vessel yesterday ostcnsbl^^^ to assist the Carpenter (who had been discharged tioin the vessel) to remove his things from her.YN bile the carpenter was engaged in packing, the prisoner was occupied on his own account in rifling the pockets of the boatswain\u2019s trousers, which he hud taken from under tho pillow in the \u201c hunk.\u201d They fortunutelv coV tnincd only the amount above stated, which tho prisoner transfered to his own pockets.But before he could put the trousers down' they \\\\ ere seen in his hand by one of tlie crew, and taken from him.Tlie boutswian missed his money, and the prism e \u2022 was given into the t tod) ot the Hiver polie \u2022, who found the cj sinii upon his person.Several cm « XU of the coins were distinctly sworn to by the private prosecutor.I he prisoner was handed over to Mr.MacLurcn's safe keeping for eight days.The admirable Bund of the Royal Canadian Biffes, and its talented leader have not been forgotten by the Prince of Wales.Mf.Carey is the recipient of a magnificent gold pen and pencil-case, from the Prince, and each individual composing the band has, we undcrstimd, received tho handsome sum of about thirty dollars.i In Chicago, last week, a colored woman named Pierce received through the Post-office a small paste heard box containing a 1 vc adder.It was accompaiucd by a note trom her faithless husband, requesting her \u201cto receive the little pet.\u201d The wonia*» screamed with fright and dropped the box, so that she was not bitten.Sending adders in the mail is a worse act than sending an-old-fashioned \u201c infernal machine.\u201d \\ i renco Road, tho only preference which stands prior to that of the £T,lll,500 bonds on which default has now been made is on an issue of £\u20182,000,000 «3 per cent, lirst mortgage bonds.Thus far, therefore, it lias not been able to provide for a punctual payment of interest on one-fourth of its cost.Last year the unsatisfactory harvest in Canada, and the small demand for breadstull's on this side, were assigned as the reasons of the discouraging eharater of its result, but witli tlie present season and its abundant crops, the visit of the Prince of Wales, and the opening of the Victoria bridge, the commencement of a great and progressive improvement was relied upon.Yet the shares which on this day twelvemonth were at 40 are now at 2(Jj, while the ordinary debenture bonds have fallen frem 74Jt52.\u2018Under these circumstances the continued absence of any definitive statement regarding tlie measures contemplated, and the exact amount of the debts yet to be provided for, and for which probably the levying of an execution may have been apprehended, is a ground of strong complaint among tho many families interested, since it not only creates painful suspense, but facilitates the depreciation of their property by the operations of local speculators who may be bet -ter informed than themselves.Among the reports current to-day was one to the effect that the company having made application to the Canadian Government for further assistance have received a reply that the Government will lay the ease before tlie Canadian Parliament, and meanwhile appointa commission to make investigations.This and the other statemeuis put forth may he wholly erroneous, but the rcs-ponsibility, of tlie fact iiiat the investors in this The Fishery Oompetion,\u2014The Surveying Schooner Gulnara, Coin.Hancock, arrived here on Saturday, being seven day.-» from Newfoundland, on which coasts she has been employed since May last.Wc learn Hhat tlio Cod Fishery in Placentia Bay, usually so productive, has failed this year, and much distress in the coming winter is anticipated.It is the commonly received opinion amongst all the fishermen on thcsrlon, Mariiney six prisoners in the time required to kill one 1 Ue *L»y, L.St.Lewis.From Toroir.o\u2014Dr.Ilian.\tI Robertson, John ifaury, Miss Mary Lawson, Mrs.__________ ________ I Anna llenliy.From Uuiied Stales\u2014G.A, Saber.Louis Napoleon is said to he somebody else than himself, by a correspondent of the1 Edinburgh Chronicle, who claims to have 1 obtained some information from a woman 1 named Mercier, who knew the genuine Louis, during his exile in America.Her absurd story is to the effect that the real1 son of Queen Hortensc died in Mercicr\u2019s I house, and that the present Emperor of the French is a person named Bowen, who was a steadfast companion of the real Simon Pure, and bore a striking resemblance to him ! The imposture is alleged to have been concocted in order to prevent an inquiry into the circumstances under which the prince died.We have seen this story before, and believe it to have been contradicted by General E Webb, of the New York Courier and En- \u201c quirer, who knows the \u201c past\u201d and present Louis Napoleon to be the selfsame individual.\u2014-«- How Americans Administer Justice.\u2014-A blunder, very characteristic of the administration of criminal justice in New York, will be found noticed in our Law reports to-day.It appears that on a recent motion in the Court of Oyer and Terminer to arraign Francis Enright for the manslaughter of one Daniel J lorrigan, counsel for the prisoner moved to have the trial postponed under plea that an important witness for the defence was \u201c absent in Eu-r[1Pc- \u2019 The Court, to guard against imposition, directed that an affidavit supporting the plea should be made ; whereupon an affidavit was drawn, averring that the witness in question \u201c had left New York only three weeks ago in the steamer Connaught, bound f»r Ireland\u201d\u2014that unfortunate vessel, as we all know, having been burned within a day\u2019s sail of Boston, on her voyage from Galway to that port, about the time indicated.Nevertheless, the venerable Judge of the Oyer and Terminer accepted the affidavit as satisfactory, and the order for postponement was made.\u2014N.Y.Times.t in.-18 Ca'jiu aaj 'Jj Sticrage l'as* \u2022ngi'ra.\u2014 Tut 1 43, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.P^r \u201c Prrsia.\u201d (Com) il d fnm the London Shipping A M«.rcan* till Gnzvtie, from the 2Gth to tbe 27th Uetober, inclusive.)

The Report further says, that \u201c the Directors congratulate the Shareholders on this satisfactory increase in the business of the Company, and they have every reason to believe that from the connection now formed it will continue to increase in the same ratio.The Capital of the Company is devoted entirely to Fire Liaiiilitiks, having no reserve for a Life Branch.All losses in Canada are submitted to the gentlemen composing the Board who examine the particulars, and if found satisfactory, at once order the payment of the claim.This system lias called' forth numerous cards of thanks.If differences should arise between claimants nnd the Company, the Manager is fully empowered to accept of any process in law.ALEXANDER STUART.Manager for B.N.America.Agents ron Quebec :\u2014 JOHN ANDERSON, Nun's Buildings, St.Peter Street.J.B.PRUNEAU, Des Fosses Street, St.Roelis.Quebec, Aug.2, 1800._____________92 MILITARY GOLD BRAIDS AND CORDS, Embroidery, lirai din g Sf Embossing.C.fe A.Smeaton respectfully invite the Ladies to cull aud examine llwir patterns for Embroidery, Braiding and Embna-ing ;
