They are built of wood, and meeting with the locks and cut stone wharves of the Lachine Canal, they present for several miles a display of continuous wharfage which has few parallels. Unlike the levees of the Ohio and Mississippi, no unsightly warehouses disfigure the river side. A broad terrace faced with grey lime- stone, the parapets of which are surmounted with a substantial iron railing, divides the city froni the river thi^oughout its whole extent. ^ The remaining public buildings worthy of ' . notice are, tlie Old Government House, Notre Dame street, now occupied as the Normal School 5 the Barracks; the Custom House, i 8t.

Th^ head of water on this Canal has been rendered available for the creation of ".^ater power, which has been applied most succesfully to the movement of very extensive machinery over a large extent of ground. Among the works here are foundries, engin^_ and boiler works, ship yard and marine works, saw mills, sash blind and door factories, flour mills, cotton mills, edge tool factories, &c., &c. As a place of beauty and pleasure, the ride from the City around Mount KbyalHvijil attract the traveller at all times., The distance is nine miles, commanding one of the finest views of beautiful landscape to be found in North America y and in returning, entering the city a view of the St. Lawrence and of Montreal, both comprehensive and extended, ' that^ well repays time jind expense. / ^^ - 1 ' Next to the drive around the mountain is that on the Lachine road, leading to the vil- lage of that name, hine miles from the pity.
