p.3 The Steam Boat Frontenac, after having completed the necessary work at the Naval Yard, left this Port yesterday morning for the purpose of taking in wood at the Bay of Quinty. A fresh breeze was blowing into the Harbor, against which she proceeded swiftly and steadily to the admiration of a great number of spectators. We congratulate the managers and proprietors of this elegant Boat, upon the prospect she affords of facilitating the navigation of Lake Ontario, by furnishing an expeditious and certain mode of conveyance to its various ports.

Lt. Governor's Office, York May 14th - John Chisholm, Esq. is appointed to be Collector of Customs, at the Outlet, at the Head of Lake Ontario.
