p.2 ship carpenter Joseph Thompson found drowned at foot of Gore St., probably fell from Messrs. Sanderson & Murray's wharf. [Chronicle of Saturday]

The Brockville Statesman, after a description of the Excursion to Kingston, thus notices the reprehensible conduct of the Commander of the American steamer Lady of the Lake, who pushed his boat along side the Highlander on her return trip.

"All passed "merry as a marriage bell," till our arrival at the foot of the Islands, when an American Steamer, miscalled the Lady of the Lake, having all steam up, suddenly bore in upon us, determined upon a race, and, if possible to run the Highlander down!

We forbear to make any remarks upon the unprecedented conduct of the fellow who had, (we trust but temporarily,) the command of the American Boat. The fears and anxieties of the Ladies, and the peril to all on board was allayed by the cool and deliberate conduct of Capt. Stearns, who could not be diverted from his course, or tempted to suffer the least addition to his steam.

For eight miles, the American Boat kept close by the side of the Highlander, with the fire embers from her flues falling thick upon her decks, and, in many instances, burning and destroying the dresses of the Ladies, and endangering the lives of the whole party!

Notwithstanding a freight of 600 souls and with four inches less of steam on than usual, the Highlander beat her antagonist, and cut her out from the wharf at Brockville. Had she driven her upon the Island, it would have been but a just punishment for her interference!"

The Railroad - passengers can now leave Toronto at 6 o'clock on Monday morning, reach Lake Huron the same evening, and embark in the Steamer Goderich, (late Gore) from Sturgeon Bay to Detroit. [Toronto Patriot]
