From the Quebec Mercury of Sept. 24.
While the Steamboat Quebec was off Cap Sante on Sunday night about twelve o'clock, on her way to Montreal, Lewis Foy, Esq. one of the Commissioners and Agent to the Jesuit's Estates, who was a passenger, having gone upon deck, it is supposed, struck his foot against something near the gangway of the boat, and fell overboard. It is stated that he swam for some time, calling for assistance, but before the engine could be stopped, and a boat got out, he had sunk, and was lost.
