After Mr. Soden had his affairs proper¬ ly arranged, he took his passage in a ves¬ sel bound for Quebec, :n high fpirits, in ex¬ pectation of embracing his dear children and beloved wife ; but on his arrival you may judge how he mull have felt, when all inquiries proved intffe&ual.—He was in¬ formed, indeed, that the Mary Ann had arrived, and failed for a foreign port, but there were no paffengers of the description he gave on board.—He remained in this Hate of mind, torn with lufpenfe, hoping againft hope, when one day after making his ufual inquiries, he met with a Mr. Wa¬ ters, from Belfaft, whom he recollected feeing on boa-d, when he parted with his family ; he (lood motionlefs, gazed on the countenance of Mr. Waters, and both burft into tears. He now had no doubt of the mel&ncholy fate of his desr family, and with dreaming eyes prayed he would re¬ lieve him of his anxiety of mind, a* he was fully prepared for the worft. — Mr. Wa¬ ters then gave him a brief recital of th?ir fufFenngfi, and finally of their unhappy and melancholy end.

Mr. Editor, Sir—- W ith feeing* of fincere forrow, 1 beg leave thtough the medium of your paper, to communicate to the public the very melancholy intelligence of the lofs of the entire of Mr. Soden's famuly, late of this town, on their paflage to Quebec, which confided of eight perfons, the mother, five daughters, and two fons ; the cldeft of whom, J\Jifs Soden, a moll inter- letting girl of 22 years of age, had received a finished education in one of the firft boarding Schools in Dublin. The eldeft son, James, had been brought up to the ftu- dy of physic, in which he had made a great proficiency. They all embaiked on board the Mary Ann, in L-elfaft, July, 1817, (bound for Quebec) in company with Mi. Sodcn's btother^ James, from uvhorn the lamentable intelligence has been received.—Mr. S. not having finally ar¬ ranged his affairs, was under the necessity of (tapping fome time after his family, for that purpofe, and the period having elaps¬ ed in which the veffel was to fail, the Cap¬ tain would not make further delay, but promised Mr. Soden that nothing should, on his part, be wanting to make his family as comfortable as possible. This in a de¬ gree tended to alleviate his diftrcfa of mind ; but how this promife was fulfil led the fe- quel will more fully prove* Being about to take his leave (alas ! his lad farewell) of hi* dearly beloved family, a fecneenfued which language fails to defcribe —-Shortly ^fter,the rtijp failed, and theft}* buffeted about by contrary winds, their passage was much impeded, and at length their provisions were nearly exhaufled, fo much fo, that their allowance was one bifcuit per day !—At this period a typhus fever raged with great violence on board, none cfcaped it« baneful influence. — After a lapfe of fifteen weeks they arrived in the GutofCan>o—being delayed there for a month, and having taken in frtfh provis¬ ions, they failed fiom thence for Quebec ; th« (hip was again toffed about by contrary windd, and ere she reached .he river St. Law¬ rence, provisions were once more nearly exhauftcd—their allowance was now lim¬ ited to nne pourd of bread per week ! though it is stated there was a fufneiency of provisions on board ! ! We were now informed we were within 120 miles of Quebec, but the captain (through what motive it has not yet been ascertained.) weared bit courfe and caR anchor at a place called Richibucto. Here he ufed his rhet¬ oric with the paffengers to prevail on them to go onshore, and when it proved inef- feftnal, he swore he would clofe down the hatchways, and fmoke them with fire and brimstone. This threat had the defircd effrft—they landed ; and when leaving the veffel—(gr'ing a$ appeared to them, on a defolate i&land) the cries of the mother and thefeven children were mod dreadful. They had to travel 120 miles through this ifland, ere they reached Cockain, where they agreed with Captain M'Cray, of the brig Mary, to bring them to Passamma- quody. Now Sir, the mod melancholy part commenced ; they all embarked on the 8th December, and on the morning of the 10th (8 o'clock) were alarmed with the cries of diftreft* ; ihcy rufhed on deck uudreffed, where they perceived their awful lunation —the brig being heavy laden with plaster of Paris, after flic ftiuck, filled in a few it mutes with water. Their situations became now truly awful ; the boat's lafli- angs were cut, and a good many of the passengers rushed inta it, amongd whom were Mr Sorien's children. Mrs. S. fail¬ ing in her attempt to join them, appeared Mr. Soden is now carrying on the bu- finefs of a Tailor in Quebec. WATCHES andJEJVELRY REPAIRED.
