The above persons were not included in the returns sent to the Colonial Office, with the exception of Michael Leary’s two sons; they had managed to get on board after the settlers had been mustered. On my taking charge of the Emigrants at Kingston, I found they had been considered as settlers up to that point, and from their being related to the other settlers I thought it best to continue them. |

Appendix, No. 6.
LETTER from Agent of the Passengers Office at Liverpool, on the Charge of conveying
Emigrants from that Town to America.
Passengers Office, Liverpool, 4th May 1826.
Sir,
Perceiving that there is a Committee of the House of Commons now deliberating on the expediency of transferring the overplus population of Ireland to Canada, I take the liberty of stating, that in the spring of 1823, in consequence of the numerous impositions to which emigrants embarking at this port were subjected, I was appointed by the American Chamber of Commerce here, the agent of the “Passengers’ Office,” established by them, and have ever since been employed in procuring passages, and in making the needful arrangements for emigrants proceeding from Liverpool to the United States and British America; and from the experience I have had in these matters, I flatter myself that I should be able to conduct such operations to the satisfaction of all parties, and on very economical terms.
Many vessels sail from this port for Quebec, &c. during the spring and summer of every year, and there being very little freight in proportion to the number of vessels, they might be chartered here, to take passengers from a port in Ireland to Quebec, on very moderate terms, generally about 21s. per register ton.
I have, during the last three years, engaged passages for Quebec from this port as low as 2l. 10s. and 2l. each, and within this month past single passengers have been taken for 3l. the owners of the vessel paying out of that sum the expense of births, water, water casks and fuel. Under faithful and prudent superintendence, the expense of fitting out a vessel for passengers at this port will be very moderate, the articles needful for that purpose being constantly on sale, and obtainable at wholesale prices.
Craving reference, with respect to character and ability, to the annexed printed notice of my appointment by the American Chamber of Commerce, and referring for the same purpose to Messrs Cropper, Benson & Co. And to Mr. Ed. Cearns, jun. Merchants here, to whom I am personally known.
I have the honour to be, very respectfully, Sir,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
To R.J. Wilmot Horton, Esq. M.P. W.S. Fitz Hugh.
&c. &c. &c.
ESTIMATE of the Expenses of a Vessel to be chartered at Liverpool, to carry Passengers
from a Port in Ireland to Quebec.
A vessel of 300 tons will have accommodation for at least 200 passengers, according to the usual proportion of children, i.e. about 109 adults, 40 children under 14 years, and 51 children under seven years.
Such a vessel may be chartered for 21s. Per register ton |
£315 - - |
Cost of timber for and of building the births for that number |
26 - - |
Water casks and water |
69 - - |
Average, 2l. 2s. per head |
£410 - - |
Beds and bedding, viz. Mattress, blankets and coverlet, for the whole, will cost |
200 - - |
|
£510 - - |
Provisions for the voyage, when furnished by the passengers themselves, seldom cost more than 30s. a head, and consist chiefly of oatmeal, potatoes, bacon, eggs, butter and molasses; but if to be provided for them, it would be requisite to lay in a sufficiency of biscuit and meat, including which the cost per head would not exceed 2l.
It is presumed, that a surgeon belonging to His Majesty’s navy would be employed; that expense and the cost of medicines, which would be trifling, is omitted in the above estimate.
W.S. Fitz Hugh.
