Essequebo and Demerary Gazette 1806 November 01

 
Saturday, the 1st of November.

Secretary's Office. This is to inform the Public that the following Persons intend quitting the Colony: Mr. Henry Woolferd, in fourteen days , November 1.
Mr. N. Volkerts, in four or five Months, November 1.
J. C. Stadtman, first Clerk.

The Undersigned, with sentiments of deepest regret, hereby makes known the death (on Thursday evening last) of O. I. Laurin, Esq. of Werk & Rust: a man who, by his activity and industry, had risen to the first eminence in the mercantile profession; - who was justly and generally esteem'd an ornament to society; - and who had so endeared himself to all ranks by his exemplary kind and friendly conduct, that the Undersigned, in offering this small tribute to his memory, and in thus deploring his loss, is convinced he only speaks the heartfelt language of that public, whom it is lamentable duty to address.
Demerary, Nov. 1, 1806. Lt. Senn Van Basel.

Absented himself from the Undersigned, a few days ago, a Negro Boy, named Bedford, a Creole of Essequebo, in which Colony, as well as this, he is well known as a Fiddler. He was formerly the Property of Mr. Harriot on whose Estate he probably now may be; his Family residing there. Whoever will secure the said Negro and lodge him in the Barracks, or cause him to be brought to the Undersigned, shall be handsomely rewarded; and if any one is found harbouring him, after this public notice, such Person will be dealt with according to Law.
Nov. 1, 1806. H. C. Evertsz.

The homeward-bound vessels from Surinam and Berbice arrived off this River on Wednesday, and the next morning the whole Fleet sailed, except the Paxton, Capt. Balston, which unfortunately got aground on the leeward bank; whence, it is feared, she cannot be removed till the next spring tides.

His Excellency Governor van Batenburg has left Berbice for Barbados, in order to recruit his health, which we are sorry to say was so bad, that apprehensions were entertained for his life. We understand that the Hon. Brigadier General Montgomerie is gone to take the Government pro tempore.

On Thursday evening departed this life, as universally respected after death, as he was respected during life, O. I. Laurin, Esq. of Werk & Rust (see Advert.). His remains were conveyed yesterday evening to the usual burying place, attended by upwards of 100 of the most respectable gentlemen in town, and the 4th or Capt. Smit's Company of Militia (to which the deceased belonged), commanded by Lieutenant Cart, where he was interred with military honours, after a most excellent funeral oration by the Rev. G. Ryk. Of this discourse, which appeared to make so deep an impression on his auditors, we were this morning favoured with a copy by D. P. Simon, Esq.; but the lateness of the hour obliges us to postpone the insertion till next week.

Caution - We think it our duty to put the public on their guard against a number of Counterfeit Joes which are now in circulation. They are full weight; but are of a much higher colour than the true ones, and many of them blistered. The best way to discover the imposition, perhaps, is to endeavour to sound them, when they will be found like lead.

The Court of Rolls, the Court of Commissaries of Essequebo and Demerary, and the Court of Justice of Essequebo, will all meet on Monday next.

Vessels Entered and Cleared Since Our Last.

ENTERED.
Oct. 27. Brig Lord Duncan, W. Greenidge, from Barbados, with Barrels of Rum, Hhds. Lime Stone, Fish, Plantation Stores, Candles, Soap, Furniture, Chairs, &c.
