At. St. Therese, on Saturday last, aged 16 years, Mr. John Richardson, son of Captain Joseph Richardson, of the Steamboat St. Lawrence.

At his residence, Plantagenet, Ottawa District, on the 7th August, suddenly of apoplexy, John Chesser Esq., in the 59th year of his age. He was one of the first settlers in Plantagenet, whither he removed in 1813. From the warm interest and active part he took in promoting the welfare of the community among whom he resided ( and of which he might justly be called founder and the father.) His death has made a public breach, which cannot soon or easily be repaired. He has left a widow and numerous family to lament their sudden bereavement of an affectionate husband and dutiful father. His remains were attended to the place of interment by a numerous concourse of sympathising relatives and friends, and an appropriate and impressive funeral address was delivered on the occasion.

The steamboats brought down passengers yesterday and Tuesday for 10s., cabin fare included ; and takes them up for 15s. fare also included. A great number came down from Montreal and Three Rivers in consequence, and probably the sum total of the receipts was fully as great as it would have been, if they had charged their former prices.— Old Quebec Gazette

The John Molson steamer, sailed this morning on a trip down the St. Lawrence, intending to pass by the south channel, throught the traverse, crossing below Isle aux Coudres, and returning by the north channel, a distance of about 140 miles. There is perhaps not a sail of the same extent in the world, where more beautiful scenery is met with. The South shore, now dressed in her richest attire, is generally a level country, bounded in the distance by a range of hills, which strike the St. Lawrence where the John Molson will cross. The north shore is high and sterile. For a distance of 50 miles to St. Joachim, mountains rising1500 to 2000 feet, throw their huge forms uninterruptedly upon the river, and seen on a fine day like this, with the numerous low and fertile islands, and the below expanse of water, unite the grand, romantic and picturesque, on a scale very rarely seen.
The band of the 66th went down with the boat. There appeared to be about 70 or 80 passengers.—ib

Yesterday was the first day of the Quebec races. The Governor's Plate was won by Mr. Gibb's Filho de Puta. The Quebec Stakes was won by Mr. Gibb's Snap. The Cavalry Cup by Mr. Gibb's Filho de Puta, the other horses entered in the Cup refusing to run. — The Welter Stakes were won by Mr. Duchesnay's Yotzi. The Macaroni Stakes by Captain Temple's Kingston.
Owing to the very superior swiftness of Mr. Gibb's horses, the first races were without much interest.
The horses were bought at a very high price, we hear about £250 for both. Mr. Gibb deserves credit. Since we are to have races, let them be good. If Mr. Gibb will only keep his horses for the Quebec course, and enter them often, either there will be good running or very little. —ib
