Kingston Chronicle (Kingston, ON), April 14, 1832

p.2 The Portsmouth Herald of the 12th February has the following paragraph: - J.R. Glover, Esquire, is appointed Storekeeper of Halifax Yard; the situations of Master Attendant & Master Shipwright at that place having been done away with. On the Canadian Lakes, the Commodore and Master Attendant are to remain for the present; the Commodore having his pendant flying on board H.M. schooner Cockburn, Lieut. Charles Holbrook. There are at present no ships afloat on those lakes, but there are three in a state for launching on the stocks, viz. the Psyche, 50 guns, Star 14, and an 18 gun sloop.

The Admiralty certainly know little of the state of these vessels!

Among the items of reductions and alterations, introduced into the Naval Estimates for 1832, by Sir James Graham, given at length in another place, the following will be noticed: - Canada - Naval Storekeeper (abolished) saving £600. Clerk to ditto (abolished) saving £250. [Montreal Gazette]

p.3 The Queenston steam boat arrived here from Prescott on Tuesday; but owing to the immense fields of ice which occupy the vicinity of the wharves, as well as the obstruction about Nine Mile Point, she was compelled to take shelter below Cedar Island, from which she may be expected to move this afternoon.
