'^} Any one visiting France or England, and leav- ing those countries without seeing Paris or Lon- don, would not be able to form a thorough esti- mate of the wealth, luxury, and art treasures of the respective nations. Without a visit to Montreal no stranger can be aware either of the trade and commerce of Canada, or of the extent and beauty of its Metropolis. Neither could he become acquainted properly with the intelligence and commercial enterprise of the people. There is no approach to the City of Montreal comparable to that by the Eiver St. Lawrence, passing under the Victoria Tubular Bridge, a truly noble structure, and the greatest engineering tri- umph in America. For variety of scenery, and in- finite beauty there is, perhaps, no trip that equals that by the Canadian Navigation Com- pany's Eoyal Mail and Express Steamers from Lewiston, Hamilton, or Toronto down the St. Lawrence, passing the Thousand Isles, and shoot- ing the far-famed rapids, more particularly those at Lachine, to Montreal, and from thence to Que- bec, by the Richelieu Company's magnificent fcteamers " Quebec'^ and *' Montreal Niagara, the common property, as it were of the United States and Canada, is familiar to most tour- ists. It would be considered a reproach to a resi- sident of both countries not to have seen the mighty Thunder of Waters. No European ought to leave America without seeing them. No one can behold these stupendous Falls without emotion. The most vivid imagination can not conceive their grandeur and sublimity. The poet can scarcely, nay more, cannot describe them, though he may have an imaginative power sufficient to^ body forth the form of things unseen. If their, vastness and immensity so enrapture the beholder, and convey to his mind some idea of the Omnipo- tence of the Creator, he will be at once impressed with the Omnipresence of the Almighty upon be- holding, for the first time, those twin promontories Capes Eternity and Trinity, on the banks of the ; ',''- \ i . .M ceive can ough nt to^ their « Ider, lipo- ssed L be- )ries the 'fl^ 3 J Saguenay, standing out like two mighty portals, J forming as it were an entrance to some unknown >;, world. This is not the language of hyperbole, the> , writer felt most keenly the awful sublimity of the I Saguenay, and he w^as impressed more deeply with the Divine and Eternal presence, when there than with any other scene he had ever witnessed. He felt his utter insignificance, and was reminded of the : Persian story, how a drop of water fell out of a cloud into the sea, and finding itself lost in such an im- mensity of w^ater, broke out in the following reflec- )t tion : — " Alas, what an insignificant creature am I •'^' in this prodigious ocean ; my existence is of no con- cern to the universe ; 1 am reduced to a kind of nothing, and am less than the least of the works a.of God." ^T^'Like the Cyclopean Rock of Gibraltar, Cape <,2^^iiaw»§5^ rises to an elevation of nearly 1500 feet^ •^* and presents nearly a perpendicular face to the ^ill find abundan^'3 of material for his sketch book. If his temperament is social, and de- mands the company of the fair sex, we can com- mend him Cacouna, on the opposite side of the river, and recommend him to make his home at the " St. Lawrence Hotel," kept by Hogan, the far- ■■v«,;.- 6 famed host of the St. Lawrence Hall at MontreaL Cacouna may emphatically be now called the Brighton of tlie St. Lawrence. It is a vastly dif- ferent place to what it was m 1852, when the Hon. Francis Thistleton, the then Governor, landed with his suite in Mud Harbour Creek, and w^as conducted to his Vice-regal abode by the Suckers, but who, after a short administration, quitted the Colony, like Sancho Panza without a penny, saying: — ." God be with you gentlefolks.— All Grovernors cannot own to the like." They say that Mermaids are to be seen about the *' murmuring serge that on the unnumbered pebbles idly chafes," though science is severely silent upon that point — ^having seen no Mermaids.— Nevertheless, some sailors affirm " there must be Mermaids, and such like,' and question " whether the water was made solely for the herrings i2lid the mackerel," Proba- bly they may bo only over-grown seals,— but aftei all, those sea-ladies, with their golden-combed green hair, and their hand-mirrors, are too lively a dream to part with in a hurry, at the mere despotic fiat of stern old Dame Analysis, divine and reve- rend as she is. Y/hy, like Keats's Lamia, Must all charms flee At the mere touch of cold Philosopby, who will not even condescend to be awe-struck at the new wonders which she herself reveals daily? Those, who like the sublime and the beautiful, we say to them : — go to the Saguenay, — stop at Ta- doussac. Apart from its pleasant situation at the mouth of the Saguenay, it has historical interest. We are indebted to the author of Archseologia Americana for the following :— " Tadoussac, in the Montagnaise language, signifies breast, and is pro- nounced Totoushak. It was here that Jacques Cartier, the discoverer of the St. Lawrence, first landed on Canadian soil, on the 1st of September, 1635. Champlain, the founder of the City of Que- bec, with Dupont Grave, a merchant of St. Malo, and Chauvin, a master mariner, of Rouen, made several voyages to Tadoussac in the years 1603-7^ and established a prosperous fur trade with the Indians. This place was early settled by the French, who built the first stone and mortar house ever erected in Canada— The remains of that building are still extant. — It is said to have been the residence of Pere Marquette, the explorer of the Mississippi. Upon a declaration of war be- tween France and England, in 1628, Tadoussac fell into the hands of the English, under Sir David 8 Kertk, a French Huguenot refugee from Dieppe, who had been commissioned by Charles I. By the treaty of St. Grermain-en-laye, in 1632, it re- verted again to the French." In the year 1829, the only permanent inhabitants at Tadoussac were the residents at the Hudson Bay Company's trading post, now it is a pretty village with two Churches. —The one near the Tadoussac Hotel stands on the site of the old Chapel of the Holy Cross, the first sacred edifice erected on the shores of the St. Law- rence.It was unfortunately destroj^ed by fire about 1688. The present building is worthy a visit on account of some old oil paintings which adorn its interior. The Hotel is under the manage- ment -^f mine host Browning, of the Ottawa Hotel, Montreal, and there cannot be a better conducted hostelry — the rooms are clean and spacious, the table is well supplied, and the servants are civil and obliging. Boats and Canoes can be obtained upon application at the office of the Hotel, and they are necessary not, only for fishing, but for the exploration of the many picturesque spots near this " cradle of Canadian civilization." ■M Dieppe, I.
