Fran- cis the King of France, not acknowledging this right to exclude him from a share of the possessions of America, and facetiously remarking that he " would fain see the article in Father Adam's will which bequeaths that vast inheritance to them," resolved not to be deterred from prose- cuting his discoveries. The navigator Verazzani had given to the countries the name of La Nouvel/e France, Chabot, Admiral of France, represented to the King the great advantage of establishing a col'.ny in his new domi- nions, and introduced him to Jacques - Cartier, as a person eminently qualified for this service. He sailed from St. Malo on the 20th of April 15.34, " with two ships of 60 ton apiece burthen, and 61 men in each." He reached the Island of Newfoundland in 20 days, passed through the Straits of Belleisle, tiaversed the Gulf of St. Lawrence, approached the Continent at the Baie ties Chaleurs— which he named on account of the great heat of the summer — proceeded to Gaspe, where he erected a cross with the fleurs- de-lys to secure possession to his King ; and persuaded two of the natives to accompany him to France, where he arrived in September of the same year. Through the influence of the Vice-admiral of France, Cartier obtained a new commission, more extensive than the former, and again sailed with three vessels, which were named the Great Hermina the Little Herniina and the Emerillon, on the 19th May, 1535. The ships having been separated in a great storm re-united on the 26th July off the coast of Newfoundland. Proceeding to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and coasting along the north shore, they oame on the 10th August to " a goodly great gulf, full of islands, pas- sages and entrances towards what wind soever you please to bend." This day Avill be ever remembered as being St. Lawrence day, on which Cartier entered the river, which he called the St. Lawrence. The name, was after- wards extended to the whole gulf as well as the river. On the 15th, he discovered an island to the south which he named Assumption. The island is now called Anticosti. Continuing his course he scanned the shores on both sides of the river, and held communication with the natives, — the two Indians who had accompanied him to France, and who were then with him on the ship, rendering great service as interpreters. He soon entered the River Saguenay, and a few days after made the Isle aux Cou- r 3. (• 3 \ P ! <> 3 3 a S. n o '% O e ■o V) » e 1 n M ^Wlienyou vlBltMontreal.stopatthefPDAMn DAPICIP UHTCI 5 L. A.

Feeling an increased interest in the voyage ho jiursued it with unabated vigor, and soon reached an island which, Irom tho number of wild vines growing there, he named the Isle of Bacchus — now called the Island of Orleans. He was visited here by Donnacoua, " the Lord of Canada." Having afterwards found a safe harbor for his vessels he moored them in the Port de St. Croix in the River St. Charles, and was again visited by Donnacona with 500 of his attendants, to welcome him on his arrival in the country. The residence of this chief was at Stadacona, which occupied a portion of the space on which Quebec now stands. The discoveries hitherto made by Cartier, numerous as they were, so far from satisfying his ambition, served only to excite his desire for still greater achievements. Having learned that there existed a place of much greater importance at a considerable distance up the river, he determined to advance in search of it. Neither the lateness of the season, nor the representations of those about him, could divert him from his object, and he commenced his voyage in the Emerillon with two long boats, provisions and ammunition. The scenery on both banks of the river dehghted him with its beauty, and the natives cheerfully supplied him with what they could procure to supply his necessities. The chief of the district of the Ilochelai — now called the Riche- lieu — paid him a visit, and presented him with his son, a fine boy about seven years of age. At Lake St. Peter the party was obliged, by the shallowness of the water and their ignorance of the deeper channel, to leave the pinnace and betake themselves to their boats, On the second of October, 1535, they effected a landing below the site of the present city of Montreal — at Hoche- laga, where he erected a cross and took possession of the land for his master, the King of France. To this day the village is styled the Cross. Here he was met by more than a thousand of the natives who received him with every demonstration of joy and hospitality. Cartier returned their hospitaUty by distributing amongst them such small presents as the taste and the fAncy of these simple children of nature taught them to value. The next day, having obtained the services of three of the natives as guides, Cartier, with a number of his own men, entered for the first time an Indian village — Ilochelnga — the germ or nucleus of the present City of Montreal. After a short stay among the people, Cartier returned to his boats and proceeded down the river to winter at St- Croix. The present inhabitants of Montreal would find it as difficult to recognize its " local habitation " as its " name " from the following description of its state. The way to the village was through large fields of Indian corn. Its outline was circular ; and it was encompassed by three separate rows of palis- sades, or rather picket fences, one within the other, well secured and put together. A single entrance was left in this rude fortification, but was guarded with pikes and stakes, and every precaution taken against siege or attack. The cabins or lodges of the inhabitants, about fifty in number, were constructed in the form of a tunnel, each fifty feet in breadth. They were formed of wood, covered with bark. Above the doors of these houses, as well as along the outer rows of palisades, ran a gallery, ascended by ladders, where stones and other missies were ranged in order for the defence of the place. Each house contained several chambers, and the whole were so arranged as to enclose an open court yard where the fire was made.

Being devoted to husbandry and fishing, they seldom wandered from their station. They received the Frenchmen with courtesy, feasted them after the manner of their tribe, and presents were reciprocally exchanged. The sight of the Europeans struck them with astonishment : their fire-arms, their trum- pets, their dress, their long beards (fashionable in that age), were all sources of wonder and conjecture to the natives. They constantly interrogated their guests, who on their part were also desirous of learning all they could ; but as neither party could understand the language of the other, and as they could only converse through the medium of signs, very little information was re* ceived or imparted. Having seen all that he deemed worthy of notice in the city, Cartier pro- ceeded to examine the mountain in itc vicinity. It was even then, according to his account, tilled all around and remarkabl<^ for its fertility. He was particularly enchanted with the magnificent and beautiful view presented to him from the summits of its eastern promontory ; and so splendid a panorama of " thirty leagues " radius must have given him a lofty and gratifying idea of the country he had been exploring. In honour of the King, his Master, he gave to the elevation the name Mount Royal, which, with a singular change in its terminational adjective, has been since extended to the city itself, and to the whole of the Island and District in which it is situated. When the change took place does not appear. A great multitude of the inhabitants accompanied him to his boats, and even assisted such of his men as they perceived to be fatigued with their march, by carrying them upon their shoulders ; appearing to be grieved with the shortness of their stay, and following their course along the banks of the river. On the 11th of October they rejoined their companions at St. Croix, and were again visited by Donnacona, whom Cartier seized with the interpreters, and two of the chief inhabitants, and carried them with him on his return to France the ensuing spring. Cartier again sailed from France on the 23rd of May 1541, with five vessels, and full powers to make discoveries and settlements in Canada Cartier died soon after his return to France, having sacrificed his fortune in the cause of discovery. Samuel Cnamplain was a native of Saintonge, and acquired, by three years service in the West Indies, as a Captain in the Navy, a reputation for bravery and skill. His personal qualites, talents, and comprehensive views, animated by energy and patriotism, peculiarly fitted him for the office to which he was appointed : and enabled hiir. ^o place the affairs of the colony in a more prosperous condition than had been previously known. He first sailed with Pontgrave in 1603, and leaving their A'essels at Tadousac, they ascended in a lighter beat as far as Sault St. Louis. The situation of Quebec even then appeared to him a most eligible site for a future colony ; but he did not visit the Indian settlement of Hocheiaga, which appears to have dwindled from the comparative importance it possessed when visited by Cartier in 1535 to a place of no moment ; indeed, according to another account, " the village of Hocheiaga was now no more." Several Priests from France arrived in Canada, and settled at Quebec, for the purpose of propagating their religion among the Indians, and though several of them returned to their native land on the cession of the country to <• 3 k ■ 3 09 ■ I 3 n e n •o (/> i 4k OS M e a ^^i-nnfn^aV^iil^'&X"^^^^^^^ PACIFIC HOTEL,!

HISTORY OF MONTREAL 21 f J the English, throiigh the conquest of Sir David Kirke, they came back to Canada when the French regained possession of it, for the purpose of resum- ing their labours. By these firHt missionaries it was soon perceived that the occupation and defence of the Island of Montreal was an object of the greatest importance, rendered indeed imperative, if they wished to retain their autho- rity in the Island, by the wars of the Iroquois ; but the Company were un- willing to second their views in this respect. It fell, therefore, to the lot of private individuals to accomplish this design. Several persona in France, powerful and full of religious zeal, formed themselves into a Society consist- ing ot 35 members, for the purpose of colonizing the Island. It was proposed that a French village should be established, and be well fortified, that the poorer class of emigrants should there find an asylum and employment, and the rest of the Island be occupied by such friendly tribes of Indians as had embraced Christianity, or wished to receive religious instruction ; and it was hoped that in time the sons of the forest might become accustomed to civilized life. The greater part of the Island had been granted to Messrs Charrier and Le Royer ; whether disposed of by them or forfeited to the Crown does not appear from any official record that has been preserved. The king, however, ceded the whole of it, in 1»j40, to the Association, who took formal possession of it at the conclusion of a grand mass which was celebrated on the occasion in a tent. The following year M. de Maisonneuve, one of the associates, brought out several families from France, and was appointed Governor of the Island. On the 16th of May, the spot destined for the city was consecrated by the Superior of the Jesuits, who also dedicated a small chapel, hastily constructed, in which he deposited the Host. This ceremony had been pro- cefled three months before, by a similar one in Paris, where all the associates went together to the church of Notre Dame ; those of them who were priests officiated, and all of them supplicated the " Queen of Angels " to take the Island under her protection. The ceremony, at Montreal, was celebrated on the 15th of August; a great number both of French and Indians were present, and nothing was omitted which could give to the natives a lofty idea of the Christian religion. Thus " a few houses," as Bouchette observes, " built close together in the year 1610, on the site of the Indian village of Hochelaga, was the commencement of the City of Montreal, or, as it was first named " \ille Marie." On the evening of this memorable day, Maisonneuve visited the Moun- tain. Two old Indians who accompanied him, having conducted him to the summit, told him that they belonged to the nation which had formerly occupied the country he beheld. " We were," said they, " a numerous people by us. The Hurons' drove from thence our ancestors, some of whom took refuge with the Abenaquis, some with the Iroquois, and some remained with their conquerors." The G-overnor urged the old men to invite their brethren to return Ito their hunting-grounds, assuring them that they should want for nothing, and that he would protect them from every attack of their enemies. This incident awakened feelings of no ordinary interest in the bosom of the Governor. The unbounded tract that opened itself to his view discovered to him dark, thick, and deep forests, whose height alone was a proof of their antiquity. Large rivers came down from a considerable distance to water these immense regions. Everything appeared grand. Nature here displayed great luxuriancy. og 30 e v> M I 3 9 2 a CO 1 9f n a 4^ 00 When you visit Montreal, stop at the En venunt a Mon'rfial, air.-te/. au 1 GRAND PACIFIC HOTEL, L. A.

We will insert here an actourt ol' the massacro of tho Jesuit Missionaries, in the early hintory of Canada, taken from my large History of Montreal. In 164t>, and several years following, warfare between tho Irorpiois and the Indians of Canada was waged with extromo lerocity. Many of the French 2 were slain, and very great alarm and distress prevailed in tho Colony. §• Amongst those who where killed were several priests and a number of Missionaries engaged in convening the Indians. The Mohawks massacred tho Jesuit fathers, Jugnes and Masse, in the year last named. In Hi4H and lrt4!>, Daniel, Brebauf and Gubiiel Lalemnnd were put to death, while serving at their missionary stations among the llurons. The circumstances attending the end of these devoted men were of a very touching nature. A brief account of them will serve to shew both the spirit which animated the missionaries of those days, and the fiendish dispo- sition of their Iroquois tormentors. Daniel was in one of the Huron bourgades in July, 1648, ealling the peo- ple to take part in religious exercises. Most of the warriors were absent. A" strong force of Iroquois came upon the place. Most of the people retired for refuge into the rudely constructed chapel, tho few defenders being at the palisades. The Irocjuois soon broke through these and fell upon the chapel. Daniel said to the terrified Hurons around him " fly, brethren ! as for me, here I must stay, and here 1 will die." Urging them to flee by the rear of the l>uilding, ho himself passed through the main door, which he closed behind him, and suddenly confronted the assailants. The trunulent Iroquois hesitated for a moment at the sight of Daniel in his missionary robes, thus fearlessly advancing. But soon a shower of arrows and musket balls put an end to his life, and he fell dead uttering the name of Chri.st. The Iroquois set the chapel on fire and flung tho body of Daniel into the flames. RrebcBuf and Lalemant experienced a more dreadful fate. They were ser- ving at a missionary station, named by the French St. Ignatius, among the Hi^rons. On the morning of March Ulth, 1649, the place was assaulted by about 1,000 Iroquois. The Huron warriors, sending away the women and children to the nearest bourgade, called St. Louis, defended the palisades. They desired the two missionaries to save themselves, as war was not their business. Brebceuf told them, in reply, that, at such a time, something more than AVc and steel was wanted, which he and his companion alone could admi- nister. The palisades were soon forced Breboeuf and Lalemant remaining behind to console tho wounded and dying, the .surviving Hurons tried to save them- selves by flight, while the Iroquois seized the Missionaries and dragged them along into the town. According to custom, their savage captors compelled them to run the gatmUel, drawing themselves up in two row.s, and dealing out blows upon the missionaries as they passed between. BreboBuf and Lalemant where then placed not far from each other, faste- ned to posts. The torture of the Huron captives was going on around them. Breboeuf with a fearless aspect consoled the sufferers, addressing them in their own language, and declaring God's judgments against unbelievers. — 1 While some cut off the hands of Brebceuf, and pieces of flesh from his arms, * t'whenyoii vIsltMontroal.stopatthe jnn»mn DAPICIP UnTCI !

Presently red hot hat- chets were connected and hung round their necks like collars. Regardless of the pain Brebceuf continued to speak to his converts and to warn his per- secutors. Thii so incensed these cruel wretches that they cut off his lips and and thrust a harning brand into uis mouth. Lalemant tried to approach his fellow martyr, but was ruthlessly prevented. When his tormentors had at length tried every species of device without succeeding in causing Brebceuf to manifest the least outward sign of suti'ering, they tore ofFhis scalp and pou- red hot water over his head, in mockery of the rite of Baptism. They called him, at the same time by his Huron name, saying " Echon ! you say that peo- ple's reward will be greater in heaven, the more they suffer here ; thank us then for what wo make you now endure ! " The narrative, from which the foregoing particulars are taken, ends thus : " The eye of the martyr was nov dim, and the torturers, from .Hrst to last unable to wring from him one sigh of pain, eag':!r to close the scene. Hacking off his feet, they clove open his chest, tore out his noble heart, and devoured it "' Lalemant's torments were prolonged until the following day, when a savage, by a sudden blow with his tomahawk, put an end to his sufferings. 8ome of Brebceuf s remains were afterwards brought to Quebec, inclu- ding his head. His relatives in France, Avho belonged to a noble, family, sent out a hollow, silver bust, which, with BrebajuFs skull enclosed and placed under a glass covering, is now to be seen at the Hotel-Diou Hospital, Quebec. The prosperity of the City and the Island of Montreal continued to increase. As early as the year 1657, a large part of this property, even at that period valuable, was cleared and settled, under the direction of the Abbe Queylus, who had arrived from France, with authority from the Seminary in Paris for that and other purposes essentially connected with the welfare of the Province. Among other important services, he founded the Seminarv of St. Sulpice at Montreal lor the conversion of the Indians, and for promoting the settlement of the whole domain. As soon as the members of the order residing here had taken possession of their property, they forwarded the de- sign of establishing a hospital for the sick, in which they were assisted by munificent donations from several persons in France. In 1062 the Seminary was enlarged by further endowments, tor the purpose of providing a sufficient number of young men foi the priesthood, and of supplying the new parishes with curt'-s. In 1674 the whole French population, including converted Indians, did not exceed eight thousand ; but, by the aid of their native allies, whom they v/ere more expert in conciliating, they for many years maintained their position, and even gained upon their less skilful but persevering neighbours. The peace of Utrecht took place in 1703, and Vaudreuil availed himself of it to strengthen the fortihcations of Quebec and Montreal The population of the former city in 1720 was 7,000, and that of Montreal 3,000. Ten years of peace very much improved the trade and resources of Canada ; nineteen ves- sels cleared from Quebec in 1723 and six merchant ships and two men of war were built in the colony during this period. The year 1759 is, and ever will be, memorable in the annals of Canada. The French, perceiving that the English were in earnest in their designs upon it, sent strong reinforcements to their garrisons. The campaign opened with great vigour.

The forces intended to act against Quebec were under the command of the heroic General Wolfe, who had taken Fort Louis- burg and subdued the Island of Cape Breton the proceeding year. Wolfe's army, amounting to about 8000 men, was conveyed to the vicinity of Quebec by a fleet of vessels of war and transports, commanded by Admiral Saunders, and landed in two divisions on the Isle of Orleans the 27th of June. The French Commander, Montcalm, made vigorous preparations for defense. He arranged his army of about 12,000 men between the river of Saint-Charles and Falls of Montmorency, to oppose the landing of the British forces, which, in their attack upon his entrenchments, were repulsed. Wolf at first doubted from this failure whether any thing could be effected in the present season ; but afterwards, rousing his brave and ardent spirit, and calling a counci' of war, he resolved npon the bold and hazardous enterprise of ascendin.5 the Heights of Abraham, and attacking the city in that direction. The plan was executed with admirable skill and determination. The result 's well known ; the chiefs on both sides fell, and left behind them honourable names. Wolfe died on the field of battle, in the arms of victory ; and Montcalm in the city, to which he had been carried, thankful that he should not live to see the sur- render of the place. The battle on the Plains of Abraham was fought on the 13th of September 1*759 ; and five days afterwards, on the 18th, Q' ibec sur- rendered to the British arms. The details of this memorable exploit belong to the history of that city, but the glory of it will remain to distant ages, and every Briton especially, on looking back to the Ministry which projected and the General who achieved it, will reflect with delight, ■' That Chatham's language was bis mother tongue, And Wolfk's great name comiiatriot with his own," In the following spring the French army which had been collected in the neighbourhood of Montreal, under thfl command of the Chevalier de Levi, marched to Quebec for the purpose of attacking and regaining it ; but without success. A reinforcement from England arrived just in time to save the city ; and de Levi broke up his camp, and retired with precipitation to- wards Montreal. Vaudreuil, the Governor, finding the whole of the Canadas in danger, determined to take his last stand on behalf of the French domi- nion, in this city ; and hither he called in all his detachments, and concen- trated his remaining strength. He enlarged the fortifications for the defence of the town, aud converted sloops into armed vessels. Meantime General Murray, with as many troops as could be spared from Quebec, n'lvanced to- wards the point of attack, notwithstanding the obstructions which the enemy threw in the way of his progress up the river ; and General Amherst with the army from Oswego, api)roached in an opposite direction : both armies took post near the city on the same day, September 6th, 1760. Colonel Haviland, with a strong detachment, lay on the south shore of the St. Lawrence, opposite to Montreal. Vaudreuil, perceiving that defence was hopeless, on the morn- ing of the 7th proposed terms of capitulation ; and on the 13th, the city sur- rendered, and was taken possession of by the British troops in the name of His Britannic Majesty. A few days afterwards, the French troops were sent down to Quebec, and thence to France, not to serve again, during the war. Thus was the last, decisive act in the conquest of Canada performed without tiring a gun, or shedding blood. o CA O 09 m 2 pa 3 o a> O o n 00 ■S IN.

The form of taking possession was as follows : The capitulation having been signed at break of day, the troops marched into the town in the following order : 1st. A twelve pounder, with a flag, and a detachment of the Royal Artilbry, commanded by Colonel Haldiman ; 2. G-renadiers of the Line, by Colonel Massey ; 3. Light Infantry, by Colonel Amherst ; each party preceded by a band of music. The eldest Ensign in General Amherst's army attended to receive the colours of the French regiments. Having thus obtained peace- able possession of this important city, and brought the war in Canada to a happy termination, the General on the next day, the 9th September, issued the following G-eneral Orders, which, as they formed the first public document promulgated in the name of Great Britain over her newly acquired territories cannot fail to be perused with interest, and are worthy of being preserved in a sketch of Canadian history ; — " Camp before Montreal, September 9, 1760.

The General is confident that when the troops are informed that the country is the King's, th -^y will not disgrace themselves -by the least appearance of inhumanity, or by unsoldier-like behaviour, in taking any plunder, more especially as the Canadians become now good subjects, and will feel the good eflect of His Majesty's protection." On a review of this expedition, which brought such an immense acces- sion of territory and of power to Britain, it is singularly delightful to reflect upon the comparatively slight effusion of blood and destruction of life which attended its progress. Montreal, the last important post, we have seen sur- Tended without a blow. The humanity with which General Amherst treated the conquered, both French and Indians, added a high lustre to his .onquest ; and Sir William Johnson deserves to be spoken of in terms of equal commend- ation, with reference to the scenes in which he was engaged. At the time of its surrender, Montreal was well peopled < it was in an oblong form, surrounded by a wall, flanked with eleven redoubts which served instead of bastions. The ditch Avas about eight feet deep, and of a propor- tionable breadth, but dry ; it had also a fort or citadel, the batteries of which commanded the streets of the town from one end to the other. The plan of the city, as it existed in 1758, while in possession of the French, and which has been copied and reduced from one published at the time, will shew these particulars very distinctly. It should be recollected, however, that Vaudreuil made some additions to the fortification in the prospect of an attack by the British forces. The town itself was divided into two parts, the upper and the lower. In the lower the merchants and men of business generally resided ; and here also were the place of arms, the royal magazines and the Nunnery Hospital. The principal buildings, however, were in the Upper Town, such as the palace of the Governor, the houses of the chief officers, the Convent of the Recollets, the Jesuits' Church and Seminary, the Free School and the Parish Church. The Eecollets were numerous and their building spacious. The houses of the Jesuits were magnificent, and their church well built, though their seminary was but small. Several private houses in Montreal, even at this time, made a noble appearance, and the Governor's palace was a fine building. The neighborhood of the city contained many elegant villas ; and all the known vegetables of Europe were cultivated in the gardens at- tached to them. By the terms of capitulation, which, under all the circumstances, were favorable to the conquered, not only the city and Island of Montreal, but the whole of the French possessions on the North American continent were sur- r ended to the British crown. The interval between the capture of Montreal and the formal surrender of ail the French posser-ions in America to the British crown was employed by General Amherst in securing his conquests, and improving the condition of the inhabitants. He established a militarv government for the preservation of tranquility, and divided the country into three districts — Quebec, Three- Rivers and Montreal, placing General Gage at the head of the last. Under the English Government some standing evils were at once removed and mitigated ; and the people in general were gratified with the change. To show their sense of the benefits resulting from it, even at this early period, it may be suf- U) n 3 <» 3 CD 3 n 3 •a •5' 4> 00 WhenyouvlsltMontrcal, stopatthe (pDAMn DAPICIP UHTCI ( En venant ft Montreal, Brntez; an iUnAINU rAulrlU nUIIlL,^ 1-^2-^.

All the French, in Canada, of any distinction, wont into mourning on the occasion. " The Address of the Officers of Militia and the Merchants of Montreal, to General G^^ge, Governor of that place " Cruel destiny then has cut short the glorious days of so great and mag- nanimous a Monarch. We are come to pour out our grief into the paternal bosom of your Excellency ; the sole tribute of gratitude of a people who will never cease to exult in the mildness and moderation of their new masters. The General who coiiquorod us has treated us more like victors than vanquished ; and has left us a precious pledge [the meaning of Gage in French] by name and deed of his goodness to us. What acknowledgments are we not bound to make for so many favours :" They shall be forever engraved in our hearts in indelible characters. We entreat your Excellency to continue to us the honour of your protection. We will endeavour to deserve it by our zeal, and the earnest prayers wo shall offer up to the Almighty Being for your health and preservation." Both the city and the island of Montreal partook of the benefits to which a return of peace and improved institutions were directly favourable ; yet not without some checks and interruptions. On Saturday, the 18th of May 1765, a tire broke out in the city, which in few hours destroyed 108 houses and reduced 215 families to the <>reatest distress. A very interesting pamphlet, drawn up by a benevolent individual, was printed in London on this occasion, and circulated freely in behalf ot the sufferers. A considerable sum was raised in England, and forwarded towards their relief. The popula- tion ot Montreal at this period was about seven thousand. On the 11th of April 1768, another fire broke out in the stable of one of the sufferers in the late conflagration, in the upper town ; it soon reached the adjoining houses, and i-aged with incredible fury over that part of the town till five o'clock the next morning, when it partially subsided, but not until it had consumed ninety houses, two churches and a large charity school. The sufferers )jst nearly all their ett'ects, either by the fire or by theft. The number thus re- duced to poverty was very great, many of them having been burnt out at the last fire. Nothing particular attecting the city of Montreal occurred after this for several years ; its inhabitants continued to increase and to prosper. The tranquil state of Montreal for some years previous to the peace with the United Slates in 1783. and the activity that prevailed afterwards, were favourable to the interest of the city, w'hich from that period has been gra- dually increasing both in extent and importance. An interval of thirty-six years was well improved ; agriculture was extended ; trade, in all its depart- ments, flourished with a rapidity before unexampled; the Fur trade, espe- cially, w^hich alwi^vs f< nrv' its safest and most valuable depot in Montreal, was resumed with n . .

He landed at Quebec on the 14th of Au- gust ; and on the 8th of September made his entrance into Montreal, where, as Prince William Henry, he was received and entertained with all the honours due to his illustrious rank. On his return, having landed and passed some time at Sorel, he sanctioned the alteration of the name of that village to his own, William Henry. On the 10th of October he sailed from Quebec in his own ship. In the year 1812. war was declared by the United States against Q-reat Britain and Canada was threatened with invasion. Place was concluded on the 24th of December, 1814, and proclaimed at Washington and Quebec in February and March of the followina: year. The inhabitants of Montreal once more laid aside their martial implements and habits for the more conge- nial pursuits of industry and commerce. A remarkable natural phenomenon, attended with no small degree of terror to many, occurred at Montreal in the year 1819. The account of it attracted so much attention, even in Europe, as to be made the subject of an elaborate Essay read before the Plinian Society of Edinburgh. The Asiatic Cholera, the most fearful form of pestilence in modern times, after extending its ravages from India through various parts of Europe, made its appearance in Canada in the early part of June, 1832. It first visited Que- bec ; and very .shortly afterwards, Montreal, difF'ising consternation and dis- may among all orders of the inhabitants. Many of them fled from the city, strangers were afraid lo approach it, business was at a stand, and every one was either expecting his one death, or fearing to hear that his friends and relations had been seized by the destroyer. The following tabU' ot Weekly Returns of deaths by Cholera in Montreal will show the malignant character of the disease, as it prevailed here : Week endiiiij Deatha. •June 10, isk' 2iW _ 23 031i _ 30, 100 •hiiv 7, 'J4 - 14, 01 _ 21 7n _ 2^ 131 Week endiuij Deaths^ Aug. 4, 130 — 11, 101 — IS, 79 — 25, 08 .Seiit. 1, ,'-,4 — N 32 — 15 13 — 21 (i Total I'JU4 The greatest mortality was observed occur about to the middle of June ; on the 19th the burials amounted to the extraordinary number of 149. The whole number of cases to the last date in the table was 4420, so that considerably more than one-third of the seizures proved fatal : three out of seven will give nearly the ratio. After this period but few cases occurred, the pestilence gradually declined, and in the beginning ot the following month totally disapjiearcd. From a calculation made at the time, it was affirmed that a greater num- ber of persons had been carried otf by the Cholera in Lower Canada with a population of half a million, in three months, than in Great Britain, with fifteen millions, in six months.

In the female order there is no restric- tion, and they are still well filled. Tho Hotel-Dieu, founded as early as 1044, for the relief of the sick poor, and which is the oldest of the convents, contains thirty " religieuses," nuns ; La Congregation do Notre-Darae, instituted for the instruction of yoixng girls, contains fifty-seven scours, another sorts of nuns ; L"H6pital Genfrale, for the accommodation of the infirm poor, contains eighteen sceurs. The barracks are agreably situated near the river, at the lower end of the town ; they are surrounded by a lofty wall, and calculated to contain about three hundred men. The walls round the town are mouldering away very fast, and in some places are totally in ruins. Tho gates, however, remain quite perfect. The walls were built principally as a defence against the Indians, by whom the country was thickly inhabited when Montreal was founded, and they were found necessary to repel the open attacks of these people, as late as the year 1736. "When the large fairs used to be held in Montreal, to which the Indians from all parts resorted with their furs, they were also found extremely useful, as the inhabitants were thereby enabled to shut out the Indians at night, who, had they been sufiered to remain in the town, addicted as they are to drinking, might have been tempted to commit great outrages, and would have kept tho inhabitants in a continual state of alarm. The people of Montreal are remarkably hospitable and attentive to strangers. They are sociable also amongst themselves, and fond in the extreme of convivial amusements. In winter they keep up such a constant and friendly intercourse with each other that it seems then as if the town were inhabited but by one large family. During summer they live somewhat more retired, but throughout that sea- son, a club, formed of all the principal inhabitants, both male and female, meet every week or fortnight for the purpose of dining at some agreeable spot in the neighborhood of the town. The Island of Montreal is agreeably diversified with hill and dale, and towards its centre, in the neighborhood ot Montreal, there are two or three considerable mountains. The largest of these stands at the distance of about one mile from the town which is named from it. The base of this mountain is surrounded with neat country houses and gardens, and partial improve- ments have been made about one-third of the way up; the remainder is entirely covered with lofty trees. On that side towards the rivei is a large old monastery with extensive inclosures walled in, round which the ground has been cleared for some distance. This open part is covered with a rich verdure, and the woods encircling it, instead of being overrun with brush- wood, are quite clear at bottom, so that you may here roam about at pleasure for miles together, shaded by the lofty trees from the rays of the sun. The view from hence is grand beyond description. A prodigious expanse of country is laid open to the eye with the noble river St. Lawrence wending through it, which may be traced from the remotest part of the horizon.

On the loft boiow you appears the town of Montreal with its churchfs, monasterios, glittering spires, and tho shipping under its old wall. Several little islands in tho river near the town, partly improved, partly overgrown with wood, add greatly to tho l>oauty of the scene. Laprairie with its largo church on the distant side of tho river is seen to the greatest advantage, and beyond it i- ,i range o( lofty mountains which terminates the prospect. Such an endless i uioty, and such a grandeur is there in the view from this part of the mountain, that oven those who are most habituated to tho view always find it a fresh subject of admiration when- ever they contemplatu it ; and on this part of tho mountain it is that the club "which I mentioned generally assembles. Two stewards aro appointed for tho day, who always choose some now spot where there is a spring or rill of water, and an agreeable shade ; each family brings cold provisions, wine, etc., tho whole is put together, and the company, often amounting to one hundred per- sons, sits down to dinner." THE TROUBLES OF 1837-38. In the summer, and towards the fall of tho year 1H87, public meetings were held in almost every parish and county in the Province, especially in the District of Montreal. At these meetings tho people were harangued, by the leading members of the Assembly, in tho most inflammatory language, and resolutions were passed repudiating the authority of Parliament, deny- ing tho obligations of the laws, and enforcing a scheme of general organisa- tion anb terrorism, which were evidently the preliminary symptoms of insur- rection and revolt. About this time the tri-colored flag was displaved for several days, at St, Hyacinthe, and in the neighborhood of St. Charles and St. Denis ; and at a meeting held in the latter village, an influential person present warned thv. people to be ready to arm themselves ; and some of the tavernkeepers substituted an eagle in place of their usual signs. Associations were formed, with a design of overthrowing the G-overnmont ; and tho " Central Committee of Montreal " were active in forwarding it. " The Sons of Liberty," as some of the associations called themselves, published in October an " Address to the Young Men of the North American Colonies," avowing sentiments of the most dangerous tendency. Every method was em- ployed to circulate these sentiments, drilling took place in open day on Sundays ana other holidays : armed bands paraded the streets of this city in the night time, the tri-colored flag was hoisted, and the peaceable inhabi- tants felt themselves insecure if they ventured out unarmed after the day had closed. A grand meeting of the " Confederation of the Six Counties " took place at St. Charles, ou the 28rd of October, when a fuller and unreserved avowal of treasonable designs was made. The Cap of Liberty was raised, and a solemn oath taken under it to be faithful to the revolutionary principles of w^hich it was emblematical. All allegiance, and every pretence to it, were at once dis- carded, and a determination evinced to take the management of affairs into their own hands. This meeting was attended by the Speaker (L. J. Papi- neau) and twelve Members of the House of Assembly, and no time was lost in carrying the treasonable part of the resolution into effect. Bands of armed < OB m > e < > v> <»- V a.

Justices of the Peace and Officers of Militia were compelled to resign their commis- sions, and many took refuge in Montreal. On the same day a meeting of the loyal and constitutional inhabitants took place in this city, for the " maintenance of good order, the protection of life and property, and the conn3clion now happily existing between this Colony and the United Kingdom, at present put in jeopardy by the machinations of a disorganizing and revolutionary faction within this Province." Troops were sent for from Nova Scotia and from Upper Canada. The Attorney G-eneral arrived from Quebec for the purpose of directing measures, and for dealing according to law with certain foreign military officers who had been introdu- ced into the Province for the purpo.se of giving aid to the insurgents. The Magistrates of Montreal having received information, on the 5(h of November, that numerous bodies of men of diffi?rent parties, intended on the following day to parade the streets of the city, immediately issued a procla- mation to prohibit such a measure. On Monday, the 6th, persons were anxiously inquiring as to the motions and intentions of the two parties ; and about two o'clock it was known that a considerable number of the " Sons of Liberty " had assembled in an enclosed yard near .St. James Street, although some of their leaders had pledged themselves to the Magistrates that no pro- cession should take place. About three hundred of them sallied forth, armed with bludgeons, pistols, and other weapons, and made a furious and indiscri- minate attack on all that fell in their way. For a time they had full posses- sion of the street, breaking windows, and threatening other mischief. But the Constitutionalists were soon aroused and dispersed the riotous assemblage but were far from satisfied with this success. About six o'clock the Kiot Act was read, and the military were called out. A party of the Constitutionalists were encountered by the Royal Regiment in front of Papineau's house; but instead of offering any resistance they heartily cheered the gallant regiment, and accompanied it to the Champ de Mars, where it was ordered to take post. A company of the Royals was posted near the Bishop's Church ; the officer in command received from the Loyalists a seven barreled gun, two other guns, a sword, an:! a banner of the " Sons of Lil)erty," which had been taken from a house iu Dorchester Street, where they were in the habit of meeting for drill. After this all became quiet, and the Magistrates ordered the troops to their barracks. In proceeding thither, the Royals found a party attemp- ting some injury in Papineau's house, but they desisted the moment the troops came upon them. In the course of the evening the office of the Vindicator, a seditious newspapers, was destroyed by some of the more zealous of the British party. The Military patrolled the streets till day-light. No further violence was committed, no lives were lost, and no opposition offered to the soldiers. On the 16th of November, warrants were issued, and rewards oflfered, for the apprehension of twenty-six individuals charged with high treason, of vrhom all were of French origin, except one ; eight were Members of the Pro- vincial Parliament, and the greater part of the whole number were in the higher classes of society. Eight of them were committed to prison at the time ; but all the others who resided in town mads their escape.

Demaray and Davignon were arrested at St Johns, and the party were returning to Montreal with them by the same route. When within about two miles of Longueuil, the Cavalry and peace officer in the charge of the prisoners were intercepted by a large body of armed peasantry, who fired upon them from their houses, from behind fences, and from a barn which bordered the road, and compelled them to abandon their prisoners. Several of the Cavalry were wounded, and their horses injured, by the fire of the insurgents. On the 20th of November, intelligence wa<3 received that T. S. Brown had collected a large force at the village of St. Charles on the river Richelieu, which he was proceeding to fortify, and that Papineau, O'Callaghan, and Wolfred Nelson were concerned in these measures. "Warrants had been issued for their apprehension : and the civil authorities applied to the Com- mander of the Forces for aid in securing them. On the 23rd a body of troops under Col. Gore embarked on board the steamer St. George for Sorel, where they landed in the evening. At ten o'clock they marched towards St. Denis, intending to attack the force at that place, and then move on rapidly to assist Colonel Wetherall of the Royal Regiment in his attack upon St Char- les. The march was a terribla one, in consequence of a heavy rain, and the muddiness of the roads. They did not reach St, Denis till after daylight. An attack was commenced ; several rebels were killed, but finding it impossible to dislodge some of the rebels from a large stone house from which they were firing, and his men being exhausted by the fatigues of the prece- ding night and day, the Colonel retreated upon Sorel, where after much suf- fering, the party arrived on the morning of the 24th. Strong bodies of armed peasantry were seen in various places along the line of march. Colonel Wetherall had received orders to attack St. Charles at the same time the other forces were to be engaged at St. Denis. For this purpose he left Chambly on the 22nd, but the roads were so bad that his troops were not able to reach the place till noon ot the 25th. The houses along the route were deserted, the bridges broken down, barricades erected, and every pre- caution taken against an attack. Halting to reconnoitre. Colonel Wetherall observed that two guns commanded the road, and he therefore resolved to attack by deploying to the right. The troops were saluted with a loud cheer from the stockade, and a constant fire was kept up by the rebels from the opposite bank of the river. When he had approached within two hundred and fifty yards from the Works, he took up a position with the hope that a display of his force would induce some change among the infatuated people. They, however, opened a heavy fire, which was returned. He then advan- ced nearer to the works, but finding the defenders obstinate, he stormed and carried them, burning every building within the stockade, except Mr. Debart- zch's house which was extinguished, and occupied by the troops. The affair occupied about an hour. The slaughter was great on the side of the rebels, but slight on that of the troops. Several prisoners were taken. Brown, Papineau, Drolet. and others crossed the river to St. Mark, on the arrival ot the troops before St. Charles. On the whole, the means and preparations of the rebels were more formidable than many persons had supposed ; and had i L. A. LAPOINTE, PkoP.7 I l-SiS^i, 2Totx« lSm,xa» Street.

Having thus captured St. Charles, and disper- sed the insurgents, who are said to have amounted at this place to fifteen hundred fighting men, the Colonel determined to attack a considerable body of the rebels collected for the purpose of cutting oflfhis retreat toChambly ; and on the morning of the 23th, he discovered them in a well-chosen position, and under the protection of an abattis. They lied, however, as soon as he had formed to attack, leaving their two guns behind them. On the 29th of November, the Governor-in-Chief issued a monitory pro- clamation to the insurgents, inviting them to return in their allegiance and promising them forgetful. less and immunity for the past, and a continuance of paternal protection and favour ; at the same time offering rewards for the apprehension of the leaders. Martial law was proclaimed in the district of Montreal on the 5th of December, and Sir John Colborne invested with au- thority to execute it. In the course of the summer and autumn of 1888,rumours were circulated and surmises formed, that another rising of the disaffected was in progress, or at least in agitation. An unusual run upon the banks, in the demand for cash on the parts of the habitants, who had notes in their possession, with various murmurings and other symptoms, gave sign that all was not at rest. The " sympathy," as it was termed, shewn to the insurgents by many of the inha- bitants of the border States kept alive the expectation. Early in October, if not before, many facts were in the knowledge of the Governor-in-Chief and the Commander of the Forces, which called for increasing vigilance, and jus- tified active preparation. The lenient measures which had been adopted with regard to several of those who had been apprehended for their share in the first rebellion, instead of being followed by a grateful return of allegiance were, in many instances, construed into fear, and abused to the purposes of renewed aggression and tumult. These seditious movements were, for the most part, confined to the south side of the St. Lawrence ; the country above St. Eustache and its neighbourhood remaining perfectly quiet, whatever might have been the hints or threats of individuals. On the 29th and 30th of November nearly a hundred rebels from Napier- ville and Beauharnois were brought in as prisoners. The Hon. D. Mondelet and Charles D. Day, Esq., having been appointed Judge Advocates in conjunction with Captain MuUer, the Court Martial com- mence the trial of the twelve following prisoners on Wednesday, the 28th of November : — Joseph Narcisse Cardinal, Joseph Duquette, Joseph L'Ecnyer, Jean Louis Thibert, Jean Marie Thibert, Leandre Ducharmo, Joseph Guimond, Louis Guerin, Edouard Therien, Aiitoine Cote, M ''iq Lepailleur, Louis Lesiege. After a patient and impartial investigation . which the prisoners had the benefit of able advocates, two of them, Ed una!- '. Therien and Louis Lesiege, were acquitted, the other ten were found gii'-f, and condemned to death, and two of them, J. N, Cardinal and J. Duqueti , were executed on Friday the 2l8t of December. They were both implicated in the rebellion of last year, and derived but little wisdom from the lenity then shewn to them. On the 18th of January five rebels were executed over the front gateway at the New Gaol ; viz., P. J. Decoigne, engaged at Napierville, and Jacques Robert, two brothers of the name of Sanguinet, and P. Hamelin, concerned in the murder of Mr. Walker, at La Tortu.

" On the 6th of May, Benjamin Mott, of Alburgh, "Vermont, was found guilty of treason at Lacolle by the Court Martial, and sentenced to death. "With this trial the Court finished its labours, after a session of five months and a half, during which one hundred and ten prisoners had been tried ; — twtlve executed, nine acquitted, and the remainder under sentence of death.

NOTES SUR L'HISTOIRE DE MONTREAL Dans ces notes, nous voulons settlement reuuir quolqiies renseignemonts sur la suite et le developpement des constructions de Montreal, dopuis la pre- miere occupation en 1642 jusqu'a nos jours. Nous completerons ce travail plus tard. lorsque nous aurons pu docouvriv les documents qui se rapportent a notre sujet. Le site de Montreal, dccouvert par Cartior en 1.585, ot nomme ainsi par lui a cause du voisinage de la belle montagne, qui en est encore le principal ornement, fut visite plusieurs fois dans le siecle suivant par M. deChamplain qui, i'rappe de ses avantages, medita d'y I'aire un etablissement, et, en conse- quence, donna a I'lle en face, le nom de Sainto-IIelene, en consideration de son epouse, Helene Boulle ; plus tard, la grande i)e an sud fut nommee Saint- Paul, du nom de M. de Maisonneuve, premier gouverneur de Montreal. Voici done trois points principaux qui attirent les youx lorsqu'on arrive devant Montreal, et qui rappellent le souvenir des trois personnages les plus illustres qui ont preside aux premiers etablissemeuts de la Nouvelle-France. Quelques semaines apres la mort de Champlain, arriviJe le 25 dfecembre 1635, deux grands serviteurs de Dieu, M. de la Dauversiere et M. Olier, ayant re^u en meme temps la raeme inspiration de fonder uu (''tablisseraent au site de Montreal, comme etant un centre propice pour I'evangelisation des nations infideles, organiserent une societe qui, en 1641, put envoyer une expedition commaudee par M. de Maisonneuve, assistee de Mile Manse, qui devait, avec ses compagncs, fonder un hopital.

L'expedition commence a se cantouner, on I'ait des travaux de retranche- chement et on commence par 6lever un fort, ii I'endroit appele Pointe a Cal- lieres et occupe actuellement par ce bel edifice que I'on \oit de toutes parts sur les bords du fleuve, avec sa tour a horloge qui domine les quais et qui est consacre aux oflRces de la Douane de Montreal. O'est a ce point, qui est si bien place en evidence au milieu du port, sur un promontoire avance dans le fleuve qui, bftti et fortifie par M. de Maison- neuve, resista pendant 35 ans avec son intrepide gouverneur a toutes les attaques des Iroquois, et est corame le berceau de cette ville qui devait avoir tant de developpement et devenir la metropole coramerciale et industrielle de la Nouvelle-Fi;ance. M. de Maisonneuve biltit dans le Ibrt une chapelle, un hdpital pour les malades, des logements pour la gavnison ct les nouveaux neophytes, enfin des magasins d'entrepot poiar le commerce avec les Sauvages. Le 6 Janvier 16-13, il alia planter une croix sur le sommet de la montagne, comme un etendard, qui devait servir de recours a la protection du ciel et d'appel aux tribus idolatres. L'annee suivante, comme I'enceinte du Ibrt devenait trop etroite, M. de Maisonneuve butit, sous !a protection des canons du fort, un h6pital avec une chapelle qui de plus furent entoures de murs solides avec menr'trieres, que les Sauvages plus d'une fois attaquerent sans pouvoir les entamer. Les nations Iroquoises ne d6couvrirent I'etablissement dece poste avance que I'annee qui suivit I'arrivee de M. de Maisonneuve, qui s'etait mis en etat de defense ; mais, des ce moment, Montreal devint le but de toutes leurs attaques. Chaque annee, au retour du printemps, les tribus sauvages arri- vaient devant le fort, I'environnaient, veillaient sur toutes les issues, tendaient dos embuscades a ceux qui allaient cultiver au-dela de la portee des canons du fort, et se croyaient sans cesse a la veiUe d'exterminer cette petite troupe si aventuree. C'est en 1844 que M. de Maisonneuve tua un chef sauvage, a I'endroit appele maintenaut la Place-d'Armes. Les anneessuivantes se passerent en alarmes et en surprises continuelles, les Sauvages firont de nombreuses victimes parmiles cultivateurs, lagarnison etait coutiuuelloment harcelee, attaquee, decimee, mais ce fnt uno grande surprise pour les Sauvages lors qu'apres quatre annees d'efForts continuels, ils virent, en 1648, construire, au sud du fort, une uouvelle redoutequi devait servir de moulin et de point d'observation, montrant ainsi que, malgre toutes les attaques, ils etaient decides a rester en cet endroit et a ne jamais I'aban- donner. En 1651, M. de Maisonneuve etablitune commune, pourle p&turage, d'un arpent de largeur sur 40 arpents de longueur, sous la protection du fort le long du fleuve c'est ce qu'on appelle encore actuellement rue des Comrais- saires et rue de la Commune ; il etait convenu que Ton reprendrait ce terrain a mesure que Ton aurait besoin pour etablir les citoyens et faire le port.

Nous citons ces noms en faisant remarquer qu'ils sont maintenantrepresentes par des families nombreuses et prosperes. En 1654 la Soeur Bourgeoys qui venait d'arriver et qui devint la fonda- trice de la Congregation, retablit la croix de la moutagne qui avait ete detruite par le froid, ou par les Iroquois ; vers le merae temps, on etablit un nouveau cimetiere a la Place d'Armes. Eu 1656, on posa la premiere pierre d'une rande Eglise aupres du cimetiere. Co fut alors qu'on etabli une redoute sur a rue Notre-Dame la ou so trouve la rue St. Denis pour proteger les travail- leurs etablis sur les versants du C6teau S. Louis, he nom de ce coteau subsiste encore dans la rue voisine, rue St. Louis. En 1657, la Soeur Bourgeoys commence la construction de I'Eglise de Notre-Dame de Bonsecours, I'annec suivante M. de Maisonneuve lui donne un terrain avec une maison pour etablir une ecole, la Sceur y entra le 30 Avril, jour de Ste. Catherine de Sienne. C'est en cette annee qu'arriverent les pre- miers prt'tre de St. Sulpice, ils furent loges d'abord dans les batiments do I'hopital. Jin 165S on eleva une nouvoUe redoute sur le Coteau St. Louis qui devait proteger les travailleurs, c'etait sur I'endroit ou se trouve maintenant le Carre Dalhousie. Cette redoute, augraentee plus tard et muni de bastions et de retranchements, devint la citadelle. En 1(J59, on avait 40 maisons bien baties, avec murs epais et meurtricres, isolees les unes des autres, mais assez rapprochees pour pouvoir se det'endre, en cas d'attaque ; c'etait comme autant 'le redoutes assez fortes pour rendre inutile le premier fort qui coutinua de servir de residence au gouverneur, mais dont on cessa des lors de reparer les bastions, degrades consideiablement chaque annee par les glaces et la debacle du printemps Ce fut vers ce temps que, pour proteger les travailleurs qui se repandaient toujours de plus en plus, on etablit trois liefs considerables sur trois points eloignes. Le fief Ste. Marie, au pied du couraut, pres dc la traverse de Lon- gueuil, dou est venu le nom de rue Ste. Mario. Do plus, le fief St. Grabriel, ainsi nomme en I'honneur do son patron par M. de Qiieylus, premier cure de St. Sulpice, a Montreal, et enlin, au uord dans le Faubourg St. Laurent, un autreliefdonneparM.de Maisonueuvo, a sou lieutenant Lambert Closso. En chacun de ces fiefs, on etablit des redoutes, des logements pour les tra- vailleurs, des batiments d'exploitation. Lambert Closse quittale fort et alia loger, avec des hommes devoues, dans la redoute qu'il avait fait construire, de la, il pouvait proteger tons le nord de la ville.

Malgr6 toutes ces constructions, n6anmoins lo pays etait encore telle- ment exposC' aux courses des Iroquois que, en 1660, Mile Manse demanda k M, de Maisonneuve de lui laisser butir dans I'interieur du Fort, uno grange en pierre de 60 sur 30 pieds pour preserver ses r^coltes. Vers le mr-me temps, les Iroquois firent encore plusieurs invasions redoutables ; ils avaient r6solu d'exterminer les Fran^ais et de s'6tablir a Montreal comme 6tant un point d'une importance extreme pour I'occupation du pays, mais M. do Maison- neuve fit si bien veiller a la garde du territoire que dans les diverses incur- sions des Sauvages, ils ne purent surprondre qu'un tros petit nombre de cul- tivateurs. Pour comprendre mainteuant quel fut le d6veloppement de Montreal dans les anuees suivantes, il est n6cessaire de parler des domaines et seigneu- ries qui furent constitues autour de la ville, et qui etaient destin6s a servir de defenses avancees pour proteger la ville, et mfime I'ile entiero. On etablit sur la Riviere St. Pierre, un fief de :500 arpents d'etendue qui fut accords au Major Dupuy qui avait remplac6 le Major Closse. Le conces- sionnaire etait tenu d'y batir une redoute avec des bAtiraents d'exploitation et d'61oigner de ce cote la tentative des Sauvages. On 6tablit encore plusieurs fiefs sur la rive gauche du St. Laurent, le fief de Laprairie, qui fut c6d6 aux PP. .lesuites, e'lKuite apres le Sault St. Louis, le fief de Grentilly, des iles-Courcelles et de ia bale d'Urge, en appro- chant du lac des Deux Montagues, le fief de Boisbriant, en revenant par le nord, d'autres fiefs sont cedees a difi'erents officiers, et enfin, a la riviere des Prairies, deux fiefs nomm6s de Carion et de Morel, donnes a deux officiers pour proteger I'ile de ce cote, et empficher de debarquer les Sauvages qui venaient par la riviere de I'Assomption. Dans les ann6es qui suivirent, on etendit encore I'occupation du pays, sur les deux rives du fteuve pour proteger I'etablissement de I'ile de Montreal centre les incursions des Sauvages. M. de Laubia, du regiment Broglie, obtint deux lieues de front et de profondeur sur le lac St. Pierre, son sergent, do Labadie, obtint le territoire voisin, et de Moras fut mis en possession de I'iK qui est L I'erabouchure de la rividre Nicolet. M. de Normanville obtint les terres plus voisines de Montreal. C'est alors que furent constituees les sei- gneuries de Lavaltrie, de Repentigny, de St. Ours, de Berthelot, conced6es a des officiers, ou des employes du gouvernement que Ton voulait r§compen- ser. Ceci etait pour proteger le nord, mais du cote sud c'est-a-dire sur la rive droite du fleuve, il etait encore bien plus important de fortifier le pays contre les Iroquois qui descendaient continuellement par la riviere Riche- lieu pour aller se jeter ensuite sur Montreal, Trois Riviere et Quebec. Dans ce dessin, M. Talon fit dee concessions en grand nombre a M. de Berthier, capitaine au regiment de Carrigan ; il donna le territoire en face de I'embouchure de la Riviere Richelieu, a M. Dupas, Tile en face qui porte maintenant ce nom ; M. de Sorel, capitaine au meme regiment, tout le pays des deux c6tes de la Riviere Richelieu, sur deux lieues de profondeur : les autres rives du fleuve furent accord6es a MM. de St. Ours, I'un capitaine et I'autre enseigne au regiment de Carrigan ; M. de Chambly reput le fort St. s (n n a 3 (D n a a S8 a 1 (S T ce B) (/> •a VI a a . h»- ADVERTISEMENTS 49 P.

HISTORY OF MONTREAL (0 CO 53 mais elle est la premiere pour sa belle position et la douceur de sou climat. A quelque lieues au-dessus de la ville, le St-Laureut se divise en plusieurs bran- ches, et forme ainsi plusieurs iles, parmi lesquelles I'ile de Montreal est la plus grande. Elle est longue de dix lieues de France et large de quatre dans sa plus grande largeur. La ville de Montreal est batie siir le cote est de I'ile, le long de la plus considerable branche du St-Laurent, ce qui rend sa situation tres belle et tres avantageuse. La ville est quadrangulaire ou plutot c'est un parallelo- gramme rectangulaire qui se tend le long du fieuve ; de I'autre cote elle est environnee de champs a ble tres productifs, de prairies charmantes et de bois tres agreables. Elle a pris son nom de Montreal d'une haute montagne situee a un demi mille a I'ouest de la ville, qui eleve sa t6te au-dessus des bois, — c'est J. Cartier qui donna ce uom au site lorsqu'il le visita en 1.58.) ; une ville in- dienne situee au pied s'appelait Hochclaga. Les pretres, suivaut leur couturae de donner des noms de saints a chaque etablissement appelerent Montreal du uom de Ville Marie, mais ce i'ut le premier nom qui prevalut, C'est une ville agreable, bien fortili6e, et eutouree de murailles elevees et solides. Sur le cote est, elle est defeudue par la riviere St-Laurent, etpar I'autre cote par uu vallons profond empli d'eau qui protege la ville centre toute surprise de la part de ennemis. Cependaut elle ne pourrait soutenir un long siege, a caiise do son etendue qui exige une garnison tres nombreuse, et parce qu'elle est composee surtout de coustrudtion en bois. II y a plusieurs eglises, parmi lesquelles je mentionnerai d'abord celle qui appartient aux pretres de tSt-Sulpice ; ensuite celle des .Tesuites ; celle des peres Fraiiciscains, celle appartenant a la Congre- gation, et celle de I'hopital. La premiere par les ornemeuts exterienrs et inte- rieurs, est de beaucoup la plus belle des eglises de la ville et meme de tout le Canada, les pretres du seminaire de St-Sulpice out une grande residence, ou ils viveut en communaute. La raaison des Frauciscains est spacieuse et eutouree de murs solides, mais elle nest pas si belle que la precedent^'. Le college des Jesuites est petit mais bien bati. Chacune de ces demeures a des grands jardius pour I'agrement et I'usage des comrauuautes auxquelles ils appartien- nent. Plusieurs des maisons de la ville sout en pierre, les autres en bois mais baties avec soin. Les maisons les plus considerables out des galeries sur la rue oil Ton \-ient s'asseoir le matin et le soir. Les rues sont longues, spacieuses, en ligne droite et regulieres, coupees a angles droits jiar les rues adjacentes, quel- ques lines seulement sont pavees. Les portes de la ville sont nombreiises ; il y en a cinq sur le lleuve dont deux sont tres grandes ; il y en a aussi plusieurs sur I'autre cote de la ville. Le vendredi, il y a uu jour de marche, les habitants des environs appor- teut leurs deurees. et les gens de la ville se Iburnissent pour toute la semaine, les indiens vienneut ce jour la en grand nombre dans la ville pour veiidre et acheter.

C'est alors que Dieu inspira a un pieux laique d'^tablir une colonie pour honorer la Sainte-Vierge dans I'ile de Montreal. M. .T6r6me Le Royer de la Dauversiere, lieutenant-general au presidial de la Fleche en Anjou, unit ses plans a ceux de I'il lustre foudateur du seminaire de St-Sulpice, M.

Des personnes de la Cour, et des prt^tres vertueux, brulant de zele pour la propagation de la foi, s'associerent aux fondateurs pour fairc I'acquisition de I'ile de Montreal, et ils apprecierent les avantages qu'elle oflrait a I'execution de leurs projets aposto- liques. L'association se forma sous le nom de " Messieurs et Dames de la Societe de Notre-Dame de Montreal pour la conversion des sauvages de la Nouvelle-France. " Les hardis colons destines a ce uouvcau poste, le plus avance de civilisa- tion dans cette partie Cix globe, s'etaient embarques, des I'annee precedente, conduits par un pieux et brave gentilhomme Champenois, M. de Maisonneuve.

Under the block-house on the summit was found a human skeleton wrapped in the remains of an old blanket. Five roads, corresponding to St. Mary, St. Lawrence, St. Antoine, St. Joseph and "Wellington streets, ran out of the city to the country, four of thom passing through groups of houses forming four small suburbs. QUEBEC SUBURBS. The Quebec suburbs, the most aristocratic locality outside the city limits consisted of a score or two of buildings, mostly small, scattered along both sides of St. Mary street from a gate at the east end of St. Paul street to beyond Molson's Brewery. There were a few side lanes, the outlines of the present cross streets, and the Papineau Road had just been opened through which the habitants from the country to the north and east began to pass as the shortest way to market. On the right hand passing down were the three fine stone residences of Bishop Mountain, Judge Reid, and Baron Grant, all now stand- ing, the last afterwards bought by William Molson. Molson's Brewery stood then as now, and a short distance beyond was a foundry carried on by the large firm of Allison, Turner & Co. Between the two was a shipyard, the only one then in the place, where a shipbuilder named Johnson built vessels for Mr. James Miller, and below the foundry was the fine country residence of the Hon. John Richardson' the prime mover in the digging of the Lachine canal. In Hochelaga were a few farm-houses and a tavern or two. ST. LAWRENCE SUBURBS. St. Lawrence suburb, the most populous of the four, commenced at a bridge over the creek at the foot of St, Lawrence street. This street, as far up as where Ontario now intersects, was quite thickly lined with small low wooden buildings. Above Sherbrooke street, before reaching the Mile End tavern, there were but two houses, both of stone, and on the left side of the street, then belonging to John Clark, and now the property of the Bagg estate. Taylor's brewery was then occupied by Thomas French as a tannery and G-eo. Wurtele kept the " Farmers' Hotel " in the old house now standing opposite the St. Lawrence market and called the " Glasgow Ilotei." Sherbrooke street was then opened from St. Lawrence street about as far west as Bleury. In 1819 two fine residences were built on this street, one by Jacob Hall, and the other by Torrance. They were both prominent objects to the citizens below, and the latter being the only cut-stone structure outside the main city, was the admiration of every passer-by. It is now the residence of the Molson family. To the west, " The Towers," still well preserved, had even then been standing for over a hundred years, and are probably the oldest buildings in Montreal. A foot bridge crossed the creek at Bleury street, and a narrow lane ran up about as far as Dorchester street, along which straggled about half-a- dozen small houses. This was called " Flirtation Lane " and was a favorite promenade for romantic couples during the long twilight of the summer eve- nings.

St. Antoine suburbs began at a bridge crossing the creek at the east end of St. Antoine street and was a road with several cross lanes pretty closely built up as far west as Mountain street. There was only one first-class house, that of Norman A McLeod, a rich " North-Wester," or member of the North- West Company. The chief man of this company, the Hon. William McQ-illi- vray, had a fine stone residence in Cote St. Antoine, about the end of Dorches- ter street, the most magnificent building in the whole city, afterwards owned by the Hon. Charles Wilson. STEAMBOATINO ON THE ST. LAWRENCE. In 1807 Robert Fultor had launched the first steamboat in the world on the Hudson. In 1808 John and Henry Winans built a small barge shaped steamboat on Lake Champlain, called the " Vermont," which was wrecked near St. Johns in the fall of 1815. In November 1809, the " Accommodation," built by John Molson, the first steamboat ever seen on the St. Lawrence, made her trial trip from Montreal to Quebec in 66 hours, including 30 hours stoppage on the way. She was not a success, however, and next year he built the " Malsham," and in 1813 the Swiftsure,' which made her first trip to Que- bec on May 4. In 1815 the " Car of Commerce " was built by an association of merchants in opposition to Molson, and was, perhaps, a little swifter boat than any of those preceding her. But in the spring of 1817 John Molson laun- ched the " Lady Sherbrooke," which being the largest and swiftest at once became the most popular boat on the rivar. She once made a trip to Quebec in 16 hours, which was heralded all over the country and often boasted of by her commander, Captain Cousit. He had formerly been a Lieutenant in the English Navy and was a regular old salt. He was famous for his dinners on board, which were got up m John Bull style, with plenty of roast beef and plum pudding. A passage to Quebec in the " Lady Sherbrooke " cost $8 down and $10 up. AH these stamboats were heavy, full-bowed vessels, sloop-rigged, with flush decks, berths below, side wheels, and low pressure engines, of about 45 or 50 horse-power. In the passage up from Quebec they needed to take every advantage of wind and tide, and the manner of their being towed up St. Mary's current has been spoken of. Such a thing as stemming the rapids above the city was not thought of. In 1818, John D. Ward, an Ameri- can, a quiet, sober-faced young man, arrived in this city and went to work in Allison, Turner & Co.'s foundry, and being very enterprising established the next year the " Eagle " foundry for himself. He spent a week in sounding the channel above the city and declared a boat could be built which would go to Laprairie. He got a few capitalists interested in the matter and a steamboat was built under his directions, he himself constructing the engine. One fine afternoon in the summer of 1819 it was announced that the steamboat " Mon- treal " would make a trip to Laprairie and back, and a great crowd assem- bled on the river bank, everyone, even old John Molson, saying she would never make the passage. She started, however, and after two or three hours' watching by the incredulous crowd it was seen that she had passed the C9 3B a> a: o o 3 •o n It ss e (9 O n >< e -1 OB B) C3 ?r ee P n 3 o B.

Most ot the money in use was silver. The coins were Spanish dollars French half- crowns valued at two shillings and ninepence, pistareens, valued at once shilling, and sevenpance halt-penny pieces. The only paper money ever seen in the country were army bills which had been issued by the Govern- nent during the war, and were most of them redeemed shortly after. The habitants, not being able to read, would not take paper money and preferred silver coin, i)erhap8, to any other. Consequeijtly all kinds of silver coins, depreciated and otherwise, poured into the country from all quarters, and passed at par and sometimes above it. Half-crowns and pistareens were worth only half a dollar and ITcts., respectively, in Boston, but were brought over here by the boxful and passed at the above quoted values. Speculators brought over large quantities of American half-dollars and exchanged them for army bills, which were at a heavy discount here, took the army bills over the bor, der and sold them at a high premium. During the session of Parliament in 1849, a Bill was introduced and passed provid.ng for the payment of losses sustained during the Rebellion. The British inhabitants were indignant that any such Bill should have been introduced, and every means were taken to prevent its passage through the House. "When it had been passed, great anxiety was manifested as to whether it would receive the sanction of the Governor-Q-eneral. On Wednesday, the 25th April, a day which will be long noted in the annals of our city. Lord Elgin proceeded to the Parliament House to sanction the new tariff, and other Acts. About five o'clock in the afternoon he sanctioned a number of Bills, and among them was the objectionable Rebellion Bill. No sooner had the Bill become law than the information was conveyed to the crowds in waiting outside of the building, and when His Excellency appeared he was received with groans and pelted with stones and eggs. The excitement was intense. Printed notices were posted in various parts of the city, calling a mass meeting to be held immediately on the Champ de Mars, and by eight o'clock an immense number of persons had assembled, when, after some strong resolutions had been passed, the cry was raised " To the Parliament Buildings." The House of Assembly was engaged in discussing the Judicature Bill, when a loud shout gave the members warning that a riot was fermenting outside. A number ot stones were now thrown through the windows, and in a short time there were but few squares of glass left unbroken in the whole range of the buildings. By this time the members had all retreated, when about a dozen persons entered the Assembly Hall, and one of them Isoldly seated himself in the Speaker's chair, and muttered something abont dissolving the Parliament. The others then commenced the work of demolishing all that came before them, sticks being thrown at the glass globes on the gasaliers which were beyond their reach. o (a a 5 o a.

HISTORY OF MONTREAL 63 ■ 00 CM e M e M CO < > The cry of fire was now raised, and it was discovered that the building had been fired by some of the mob. The fire spread with ijreat rapidity, ana in half-an-hour the whole building was wrapped in a sheet of flame, No attempt was made to save the building, and the engines were only used upon the surrounding property. By this fire the valuable library, containing.the archives and records of the colony for over a century, was completely des- troyed. The only articles saved was the mace belonging to the Lower House. The party who saved the mace carried it to Donegani's Hotel, and delivered it to Sir Allan McNab. The mob now proceeded to the residence of Mr. Lafontaine, and set it on fire, but through the efforts of some of the citizens the flames were extinir- uished, but the whole of the furniture and library was completely demolished. Several other houses, occupied by obnoxious members of the Parliament, were also destroyed. It was feared that the Governor might suffer from the violence of the mob. He therefore left his residence at Monklands and remained in the city under the protection of a body of military. On the 26th, Messrs. Mack, Howard, Ferris and others, were arrested on the charge of arson, and were committed for trial. A crowd of nearly 3000 persons accompanied them to jail, but no violence was shown. The Parliament Building destroyed during this riot, was originally the St. Ann's market ; the interior of which had been remodelled for the accom- modation of the Legislature. It was .342 feet in length by 50 in width, the central portion projecting four feet beyond the wings. It was constructed of Montreal limestone, and though plain, its only ornaments being a portico at either end, presented an effective appearance. The persons arrested on charge of arson wore subsequently admitted to bail, and upon their trial taking place were acquitted. The most important event of 1851 was the opening of the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railway from LongueuU, opposite Montreal, to Richmond, Eastern Townships, a distance of 9(3 miles. This was celebrated by a grand procession, ball and dinner. Triumphal arches were erected at various parts of the city, the finest being that placed at the corner of St. .lames and McGill streets, and which was brilliantly illuminated during the evening. It bore emblems of commerce and railway improvements. The Victoria Square, (then, Hay-market and Commissioners-square) was also decorated and illuminated. The power of electing a person to fill the office of mayor had up to this time been vested in the city council, but a change was now made whereby that otlicer was elected by the peoi)le, and in 1852 the first election by sufFraga took place, when Charles Wilson, Esq., was re-elected to the ottice which he had previously held. During this year, two disastrous fires occurred and destroyed nearly twelve hundred buildings, rendered about nine thousand persons houseless, On Saturday, July 22nd, the foundation of pier No. 1, of the greatest tri- umph of engineering skill, the Victoria Bridge, was laid with great ceremony. In 1854, many of the citizens were called to mourn the loss of loved ones who were cut down by that fearful disease, " Asiatic Cholera'" which broke out June 24th, and raged for about two months. The total number of deaths was, 1,186. 30 e v> o H •3 . o n CO n When you visit Montreal, sloj En venant & Montreal, arrOf 'CariGRAND PACIFIC HOTEL,! li. A.

It was publicly inaugurated l)y His Excellency, Sir Edmund llea«l, the Uovernor- Ooneral, who visited Montreal for the first lime (for that purpose) on March 6th. This visit was celebrated in the most enthusiastic manner, and every possible ertort was made to r»'ii(ler his visit agreeable. The population in 1H5H was about 80,000 ; the number of deaths during the year being about 2,430. On Tuesday, 4th January I8f)9, the Hishop's Church, St-Denis street, was destroyed by fire. It was built on the side ol the church burned during the great conHugration in 1H52. The building was hirge, and cost $120,000. The formal opening and inauguration of the Victoria Bridge was, in co- lonial importance, the chief feature in the visit of the Prince of Wales to Montreal, and the completion of this noble structure deserved to be celebrated with all the state iind pomp which the presence oi royalty e < to e ro e 10 09 3 5 n e ee ^^ c 3 n o 3 •a 30 u ■\ i i 'WhenyouvlsltMontreal, stopat thefppAKin DAPICIP UHTCI I EnvenaataMoiilr6al,arrOtezau JUnMNU rftulrlU nUlLL,{ L.

In the early part of 1868 the mutterings ol" a new Fenian excitement was again heard on our borders, and after an interval of nearly two years of peace and quiet, we were once more threatened by an invasion. As in the previous case this report was the result of the unfriendly ft-elings existing between the United States and England. But, fortunately for Canada, the resources of the brotherhood were not sufficient to enable them to carry out their design ; but while the invasion of the country was abandoned, still the diabolical spirit which animated many of its partisans made good its foot- hold in the country, and, as, in other places throughout the world, those who or'.',)osed the mad scheme were singled out as victims, and a more distin- guished victim could not have been chosen then the Hon. Thomas d'Arcy McGee, a representative of the City of Montreal in the Provincial Parliament, v/ho was foully assassinated on the morning of April 7th, 1868, while return- ing from the Parliament buildings to his lodings in Ottawa. The funeral which took place on Monday, 13th, will be long remembered. The streets were covered with mourning flags and festoons of black, giving the scene a striking and funereal aspect, and those streets through which the procession was to pass were lined on either sides by soldiers, regulars and volunteers. The summer of 1868 will be long remembered, for many are the mourners over friends and relations who fell beneath the excessive heat of July. On the the 17th of that month ten persons died from its effects. The thermometer for several days ranged from 90 to 100 degrees in the shade, and great suffering was caused thereby, not only to man, but a large number of horses were fatally sunstruck while working on the streets. On the 28th of the month a sharp shock of an earthquake was felt It was accompanied by a grating and rumbling noise, something like a vessel slightly touching the ground ; and a trembling movement caused doors and windows to vibrate with considerable violence. It lasted several seconds, but no damage was done. On Friday, September 11th, His Lordship Bishop Fulford, the tirst Anglican Bishop of the Diocese of Montreal, died at his residence after a pain- ful illness. The winter of 1868-9 was remarkable for the great amount of snow which fell, there being in some of the streets ol the city a depth of seven to nine feet. On the 1st of February 1869, Sir John Young arrived in the city, and the following day, at half-past ton, ho proceeded to ihe Court-House, where he was duly sworn in as Governor-General, Hon. Mr. Justice Badgley adminis- tering the customary oath. On Friday, the 8th of October, Prince Arthur, third son of H. M. Gracious Majesty, arrived in Montreal to join the P. CO. Rifles here stationed, he hold- ing a lieutenant's commission in this splendid regiment. The route of the Princes progress from the landing at the Jacques Cartier wharf, by Jacques Cartier Square, Notre-Dame street, Place-d'Armes, Great St. James street, Kade- gonde street, Beaver Hall, &c., to his chosen residence on Sim()son street, j presented a most animated appearance.

HISTORY OF MONTREAL usually fine, with a bright sun, a clear sky and a lively breeze to float the flags so profusely displayed in honour of the Royal visitor, about to become a resident of the city. The preparations for his fitting reception included the erection of several very h;indsome arches along the line of inarch. Though expected at twelve o'clock, the Prince did not arrive till two, the the steamer " Magnet " having been detained at Cornwall by the fog in the morning- The large crowd of spectators lining the wharves and swarming about the vessels in the harbour was but slightly diminished even when it becamti generally known that a delay of two hours must take place before the Prince's arrival ; and the little gathering about the route noticeable during the morning around some favorite arch or gaily contrived festoon, continued , to increase in numbers as the day advanced. A few minutes past two o'clock 'ihe "Magnet" was seen steaming down the river abov^e the Victoria Bridge, and soon afterwards drew up at the wharf. The Mayor, with G-eiieral Wind- ham, immediately went on board, and the General introduced His Worship to the Prince, after which Prince Arthur, the Mayor, Greneral Windham, and Colonel Elphinstone came ashore, and entered the pavillion which had been erected on the wharf for the purpose of enabling the Prince conveniently to receive and acknowledge the address. His Royal Highness left Montreal on Monday, the eleventh, for Ottawa, and returned during the following day ; and while busily engaged in his official duties he nevertheless found time to aid many important and deserving char- ities by his patronage and presence. The facilities afforded by the street railway has led to the expansion of the population towards the city limits, and even beyond them. It is diflicult to mark the distinction between the city and the villages of the outlying mu- nicipalities. It is apparent that those villages must eventually form part of the city, as Hocheiaga has already done under the name of the Hochelaga Ward, and it Would be advantageous if some prepatory arrangement were to be made for assimilating the building and sanitary laws of the municipa- lities to those of the city. Whilst the enterprise of i)rivate parties is successfully employed in pro- moting the progress of Montreal, both as regards embellishment and educa- tional inteiests, as well as the the comfort and convenience of its inhabitants, the city authorities are not altogether n"!glectful of their duties, and a good deal has been done in the wtiy of drainage, and other public improvements. Nothing of importance has occurred within the past few years which would necessitate much historical record, if we excepts the visit of the Mar- quis ot Lome and the Princess Louise and the present Governor-General. The Ice Palaces bive been a peculiar feature. The development of Montreal in its trade, resources and manufactures has gone on steadily increasing to the present day.

National Lottery of Colonization -OF TIIK— REVEREND CURE A. LABELLE. A first drawing of thu National Lottery of (,'i>ioiii/,ation, was licld at llie ( 'abinut ilc 1-cctuic I'aroissial on tlic istli, i6iii and 17II) April inst., in the presence of scveial tluiusand persons, 'file druwin){ began at 2 |i.ni. on tlie i5tli inst. Long before the appointed hour, the large room of the Cabinet dc Lecture was fdled witli parlies interested in the success of tiic drawing. Reverend Mr. Sentenhe, the popular and sym- pathetic cure of the Notre iJanie, whose zeal for Colonization is well known, owing to the un.ivoid- able absence of the Reverend Mr. ],abelle, now in Kuvope, was called to preside at the drawing. Jtelore oi)ening the proceedings the chairman, in a few well chosen words, e.xplained the object of the Lottery, the mode of dr.awing, anil the precau- tions taken by the administration to prevent any fraud, and to give entire satisfaction to the i)id)lii'. lie further stated that the administration in view of giving greater security to those interested, li.id ( onfideu to the Reverend .Sisters of Charity of the Providence, the task of filling the tubes with the numbers, also reading the follo^ying certi- ficate, which speaks for itself : — " We, the undersigned .Sisters of Charity of the " Providence Convent, sj)ecially attached to the " Deal' and Dumb Institute of this City, do here- " by certify that we have ])laced within the wheel " to be used at the Natioii.il Lottery of the " Reverend Cure 1-abclle. one hundred liiousand " brass tubes, each of the said tubes containing a " number from one to one hundred thousand, " inclusive (roo,ooo)." " (Signed,) .Sr. PiriLIPPE df, JESUS, " Superioress of the Deaf and Dumb Institute, " Sr. M. S( 'HOLASi'lQUK." Montreal, 14th April, 1885. The Reverend Mr. Sentennc, in conclusion, ex- pressed the hope that each and every one of those interested, were, like himself, fully convinced that nothing had been neglected to satisfy-even those most suspiciously inclined, and that although every one did not have the pleasure of drawing a ])rize, at least the unsuccessful ones were con- vinced that they had been treated with the greatest impartiality, and that they had helped and contri- . buted to a woik of vital importance to this Pro- vince. At the close of this short but eloipient address, the drawing of the first series then commenced. We may here give a short explanation of the mode of drawing liien used. In an immense hol- low wheel, were placed one hundreil thousand br.ass lubes, somewhat similar to brass cartridges, each containing a printed number corresponding with the different numbers printed on the tickets issued, in such a manner that each one of the tubes contained a nuntber ai)pearingon the tickets. In another but smaller wheel were ( ontained five hundred and forty-nine (549) similar tubes conlain- ing each of the 549 lots comprising die prizes allowed for the first series. The two wheels were jil.ued on the stage near the Chairman ; they were then nude to revolve backwards and forwards, until a thorough mixing of the numbers had taken i)lace. A young blind i)oy from the Nazareth Asylum drew from the wheel containing the ticket numbers one of the brass tubes and handed it to the Chairman, who, having opened it, proclaimed its number ; another blind boy at the same time was drawing from the wheel containing the prizes another tube, which was handed in the same way to the Chairman, who announced the ])rize drawn by the number. The drawing continued in the same manner, until 5.15 p.m., when it was adjourned nntil the following morning, 391 lots having been drawn in the meantime. On the i6th, at 10.00 a.m., the drawing con- tinued in the same manne'r, until the balance of the ])rizes comprised in the first series had been all drawn. On Friday, the lylh, the drawing of the second series took ])lace. Prizes to the value of ^12,500.00 had been drawn. Some of these were drawn by tickets which had already been sold, whilst others were drawn by tickets then remaining unsold ; these latter will be added to those forming the object of the drawing which is to take place on the i5tii of July next ; they will be so many addi- tional chances to be partaken in by ticket-holders. All who were pre.sent at the above drawing seemed to be perfectly satisfied, and the comments were most eulogistic to the administration. In fact, when compared with other similar undertak- ings, its sutfVHS has l)een ntost noted. The lottery ol the Decorative Arts Association in France, has been enabled to eftect a drawing only after two years and a haH, and also the French Colonial lottery, whiih wan ofganixed on the 6th June, 1.H83, has so fat. been tjnablifto^ effect a ilrawing. it is true that the present drawing is nut j definitive one, but taking in consideration the length of time necessarj for the thorough organization of such an undertaking, the fact of having been in a position in so short a time to have effected a drawing, speaks well for the future su( <:ess of our great National l,ottery. Another drnwing will take i)lace on the 15th July next ; it will of nec^^sity be of more un- |K)rtance than the one previously referred to. We would caution the holder of tickets purchased on or before the 15th instant, not to dispossess them- si'lves of them, as they will be held good at all drawings to be held in future. All the lots men- tioned in the different prospectuses not already drawn will be drawn for so long as the whole of them have not been drawn by ticket holders. As the success of our past drawing has caused a great demand for tickets, we would advise all l>iirties intending to participate in the future draw- ings to send in their orders without delay. When different parties in the same locality de- sire to purchase tickets, it is not necessary that the name of each one should be given, one address being sufficient, as on the receipt of the tickets a distribution of them can be made. On the other hand, the administration does not regis- ter the name of the purchaser, owing to the changes which may take place in the proprietor- ship of the tickets, they being to a certain extent ( onsidered a conynercial commodity and thereby freciuently changmg hands, the holder of the tickets bearing a winning number being consider- ed by the administration to be its legal owner, and any prize accruing being paid in accordance with this disposition. A discount of 15 per cent, will be made to clubs purchasing 100 tickets of the first series or 400 of the second series, and to those purchasing to the amount of 1400 a discount of 17 per cent, will be made. Tickets will be forwarded only on the rcreipl of their price in cash ; it will l)e useless to ask for them cither on credit or on a deposit. We are now forwarding the oftu ial lints of the last drawing to ticket holders. We take the jjresent ojjportunity to reply to certain observa- tions made as regards the omission of the zeros placed in front of the ticket numbers in the lists which have appeared in the newspapers. 'I'his omission does not alter the value of the ti('ket, these zeros having been so pla< ed to prevent any attempt of fraud or alteration in the numlwrs. We have, however, given in our oft'n;iul list these num- bers as they appear on the tickets. In order to ascertain whether your ticket has won a prize you must first see whether it is men- tioned in the official list, taking care not to con- found the series. If you hold a $1.00 ticket you must then look to the list of the first series ; if a 2sc. ticket you must then refer to the list of the second series, and the prize appearing opposite su< h numbers is that to which you are entitled. The official list of prize-winning numbers will be forwarded to all applicants on receipt of a 3c. stamp. The saleof tickets which had been suspended at the time of the drawing has now been resumed, so all intending ])urchasers are respectfully recjuested to send in their orders without delay. The object of this lottery, as is well known, is to come to the aid of the Diocesan Societies for the Promotion of Colonization in the Province of Quebec, the means at the disposal of these societies being inadequate to their wants. May all the friends of this national movement hasten to give their supi)ort by purchasing tickets, as, whilst helping a good work, they may find it an occasion of profit, the risk being small and the gain may be considerable. A desjjatch addressed to the National Lottery of Coloiiiz.itinn, and received on Saturday after- noon at that otfice, states that lot No. 7284 Jias been won by a St. Hyacinthe syndicate, number- ing eleven citizens.

Fathei .SeiUfuine, cur6 of Notre- Dame. The lottery was conducted on the faiivst principles, each number was plai'ed in a double cop(xjr tube by the Kisters of the IJrey nuunery, and then dropped into a large wheel. In a corresponding wheel were the tubes contain- ing tbe prizes and blanks. The drawings Were conmienced at two o'clock and a large number of interested spectators were present. The numbers were drawn from the wheels by two Idiiid children from the urphanage, and as each tube was brought forth, it was oi)ened by the l{ev. Cur6, who announced the contents. Tbe drawings were continued until five o'clock, and will be resumed at ten o'clock this morning. The prizes will not be iiaid until the 20th instant, and the second drawing will be held on the loth .July, and then {quarterly until all the series are disposed of.

STRETCHING SHOES WITH BE4NS. ^A Quebec youth, who bought a pair of shoes without trying them on, found, on /esiching home, that thny were just an eighth of an inch too small all around. He thought, however, that he would enlarge them suffic- iently by the "bean" process, so he filled each shoe to the top with large white beans — the variety that will nearly double their size — gave them all the water they would liold, and left them over night to the mercy of the bftans. In the morning he found that they had increased in size from Ko. f) to 041- , parently No. 8, and that the upper had raised on one side, exposing a huge crevice, and allowing the beans to escape for several feet around. The next time he will pare down his feet. * A FAMILY DIARY. MISTAKEN EC01I0M7! Isn't it ? To defer buying your Clothing now that it is cheaper than ever before at J. G.

' . •Wf!^-'- ( An Honest Farmer °Waa invited to attend a party one evening at the village dootoi's, where there was music, both vocal and instrumental. On the follow- ing morning he met one of the guests, who said: "Well, farmer, how did you onjoy yourself last night ? Was not the Quartette excellent ?" " Why really, Sir, I can't say," said he, "for I did not taste them, but th« pork chops were the finest I ever eat." -:-o-:- Ready I Npw i Ready i Last Saturday we were so rushed that it was almost impossible to serve every body. Judging from this week's trade, and the pre- sent sharp weather, the attack will be still moin severe. An extra force will cope with all demands. In Children's, Boys' and Youths' Suits and Overcoatings, we have the Best Only ! The Lowest in Pricu ! No Old Stock ! All New Goods ! Kverything from Popular to the JFinest at J. G. KENNEDY & CO.'S. You arc Looking for News Of the Goods that are to bu gotten for less than the cost of making. You shall have it. The season presses on us. The Carnival is on us. How much is to be done ; how much will be crowded into these few days. We must take much for granted. This that mer- chandise is generally down, and this that although the stores have things exceptionally down, and this that some things aie not down at all — not going to be — can't be. We are not going to take all the time your indulgence gives us to point out the cheapest things, There are other considerations than money. You shall see by the tone we take in every line whether Goods are cheap or not. The fact peculiar to the present condition of trade is that goodness more than ever within our time before is independent of price. -:-o-:' The ' Noes" Have It. There is a Twilight Club just been organ- ized here consisting of a bright lot of young men with little money to spend. They meet once a week at a down town cafd, nnd pay a dollar a pioce for their dinner, Their prin- ciples are as follows :— No dues ; no debts; ■no byjaws ; uo president ; no conptitution ; no conventionality ; no salaries ; no initia- tion fee ; no full dress ; no late hours ; no gambling ; and no dudes. What they don't " no," is not worth no-icg. A Word of Caution. It is a time when people will easily believe the usual lies of advertisers. Look out for the lies then. Look out for representations a little short of lying may be, but meant to mislead, Wo are not going to have the papers all to ourselves. It is fair to put you on your guard against what is sure to happen. Distrust what ought to be distrusted ; trust what ought to be trusted. In almost every lie there is something that betr.iys it. J.
