The history of Montreal dates back to the year 1535, ^yhen Jacques Cartier fir; t Landed on its shores. At that time an Indian ViUage existed here, ciilled Iloclielaga, and was described by Cartier as follows : — "It is placed near, and as it were, joined to a great mountain, very fertile on the top, from which you^may see very far. Tlie town is round, encompassed about with timber, with three rampircs, one within anotlier, framed like a sharp spire, but laid across above. The middlemost of these is made and built in a direct line, but perpendi- cular. The ranipires are framed and fashioned with pieces of timber laid along the ground, very well and cunningly joined after their fashion ; this- enclosure is in height about two rods ; it Jiath Ijut one gate or entry thereat, which is shut with piles, stakes and bars; over it, and also in many parts of the wall, there be places to run alone;, and ladders to get up, all full of stones, for the defence "of it. There are in the town about fifty houses, each fifty paces lon«- and fifteen or twenty broad, built all of wood, coverS over with the bark of the wood, as broad as any board and cunningly joined together. Within are many rooms, lodgings and chaml^ers. In the midst of every one there 18 a great court, in the middle whereof they make their fires. They live in common together, then do the husbands, Vvives aud children each one, retire to their chambers. They have also - the tops of their houses certain garrets, wherein they Keep their corn wmake their 16 ESTABLISHED A. D., 1827.

IIavin,i; rseeii all that he (leenied worthy of notice in the village, Cartier expres.sed a wisii to ascend the mountain, and was conducted thither l)y the natives. From its sum- niit he discovered an immense extent of fine country, interspersed with rivers, woods, hill.s and islands, the sl-ht of which filled him with feelings of joy and gratification, In honor of his king he gave to the elevation the nanus which with small change, has since extended to the citv— " Mount Royal." ^ MONTREAL. Is built on an island, formed by the partial confluence of the Ottawa and the St. Lawrence at its Avestern extremlt}', and by the perfect confiucnce of these rivers at its eastern' boundary, after passing along its northern and southern shores. The island is about 30 miles in lengtii, and at the widest part about 10 miles in breadth. With the exception ot the mountain, which rises to the hei^^ht of about 550 leet.it IS nearly level, and forms one of the most fertile districts of the Province. The climate is particularly favor- able for the growth of nearly everv kind of grain, fruit and vegetables. The French firsc began to settle here in loili, and exactly one century after, the spot destined for the tity was consecrated with due solemnities, commended to the " Queen of the Angels," and called V!Ua Marie, a name which it retained for a long period. In ITiiO, it was taken by the English. At this lime it was a well-peopled town of an oblong form, surrounded by a wall fianked witk eleven redoubts— a ditch about eight feet deep, and a pro- portionate width, but dry, and a fort and citadel, the batteries of which commanded the streets of the town Irom one end to the other. The town was at this time divided into upper and lower town, the upper town l)oin- the level of the preseu: Court House. In the lower town the raercliants and men of business generally resided, and hero were situated the Royal Magazines, the Armory, the 18 Canada Truss Factory.

(This was the second steamer built on tliis continent • Fulton's little steamer, which navigated the Hudson river 'beinn- the first.) On the 3rd of November the little craft -ol up steam, and made a voyage to Quebec, where the whole popu- lation crowded to the wharf to have a look at the phenom- enon. Its arrival there was chronicled as follows by the Quebec Mercury: "On Saturday mornino-, at ei"-ht o'clock arrived here from Montreal, being her first trip,°the^steam- boat Accommodation, with ten passengers. This is the first vessel of tlie kind that ever appeared in this harbour She IS continually crowded with visitants. She left Montrea on Wednesday, at two o'clock, so that her passage was sixty- six hours ; thirty of which she was at anchor. She arrived at Three Rivers in twenty-four liours. She has at present, berths tor twenty passengers, which next year will be con- siderably augmented. No wind or tide can stop her She has 75 feet keel, and 85 feet on deck. The price for a pas- sage up IS nine dollars, and eight down, the vessel suppl vino- the provisions. The great advantage attending a vessel so constructed is,_ that a passage may bo calculated on to a degree of certainty, in point of time ; which cannot be the case with any vessel propelled by sail only. The steam- boat receives her impulse from an open,.double-spoked per- pendicular wheel, on each side, without any circular band or rim. xo the end of each double spoke is fixed a scniare board which enters the water, and by the rotatory motion of the wheels acts like a paddle. The wheels are put and fcept m motion by steam, operating within the vessel A mast IS to be fixed in her, for the purpose of using a sail when the wind is favorable, which will occasionalJy accelerate her headway." "^ Tn 1832, the clwlera raged in Ma'iti-eal with great vio- lence, earrymg off 1S43 inhabitants in a population of little more than 30,000 In April 1849, a political mob burnt the Parliament building^nd the seat of Government was in consequence transferred to Quebec, subsequently to Toronto and finally to Ottawa. In July 1852, a destructive firj laid waste a large portion of the city, burning 110 houses arid destroying property valued at $1,363,264.

Montreal has now over 200 miles of streets and lanes, some of the streets are narrow, but thomaioritv will compare favorably with any on the continent No- where can finer or more solid public buildings be found, ihe buildings for commercial and other purposes would dignify any city. There are none in the United States which present finer^pecimensof street architecture than are ound-not isolated here and there, but in long blocks and throughout the whole city, and while we view with pride the rapid progress made during the last few years, we remem- ber that appearances point to a still greater advancement in the luture. "Montreal possesses advantages which no other Canadian city can boast of: Inits situation at the con- fluence of the two greatest rivers, the St. Lawrence and the Ottawa ; opposite the great natural highway of the Hudson valley ; at the point where the St. Lawrence ceases to be navigable for Ocean ships, and where that great river ^or tlie last time in its course to the sea, affords a gigantic watc;i-power ; at the meeting point of the two raSes that divide Canada, and in the centr.. of a fertile plain nearly as large as all England; in these we recognize a guarantee tor the future greatness of Montreal, not based on the frail tenure of human legislation, but in the unchanging decrees of the eternal, as stamped on the World He has made." We know from the study of these indications, that were Canada to bo again a wilderness, and were a second Cartier to explore it he might wander over all the ffreat regions of Canada and the West^and returning to our mountain ridge t"^ u ""^T. ^^«""t )^«y^^ '"^J «'^y that to this point the wealth and trade of Canada must turn." The street bustle is sufficient, and the tnmine"° ""ti'-'tv enough to convince any one that Montreal is really and heal- thily prosperous After all the building improvements of the tew years, which have transferred narrow streets i.nd dingy !

Prior to 1851 only vessels of light draught could pass through Lake St Peter and come iq) to the wharves; but a lapse of twenty-two years shows a great change, for vessels drawing 22 to 23 feet water can now pass down from Montreal to the sJa The following jire some noticeable incidents : The work of improving the navigation from Montreal to Quebec by dredging a channel through Lake St. Peter was commenced by the Harbor Commissioners of Montreal in June, 1851 : and on the 3rd of November of the same year the ship Gifi/ of Manchester passed down,drawinrr 14 feet of water, whe'i the depth on the Hats was 12 feet,-showin'' an increase 01*2 feet, the dredged channel being then onl? <5 feet wide. "^ On the 16th October, 1859, the ship Pride of Canada. loaded down to 18 feet 8 inches was taken throu^rh, while there was a depth of 11 feet 8 inches on ihe flats, sbowim^ an increase of 7 feet, the width of the channel havin- been increased to 300 l^et. *= On the iGth of November, 1865, the ship Ocean was taken from Sorel to Quebec, drawing 19 feet 8 inches there beiiig- at that time 10 feet 6 inches on the Hats; and 01 the 1st December following a test trip was made from Montreal to feorel (in the absence of a suitable vessel) by lashin^ spars alongside a steamer to the required depth of twent" leet thus passing through the Lake when there was a depth ol 11 leet, (the average point of low water) on the flats ihe experiment was deemed satisfactory,— demonstrating 26 ) BETWEEN ( OTTA.'WA. and MOlTTHEiil,.

A further deepen- ing of the channel has been determined upon, so as to give a depth of 22 feet (and ultimately 24 feet or more) at low water, to admit of the largest-sized steamships coming up to the harbour without lighterage. The Harbour. The existing wharfage accommodation measures 10,140 lineal feet, or more than three miles. There are 11,690 feet of wharf-room in 20 feet depth of water, and 4450 feet in 10 feet depth of water. In addition there are now under contract, part of which is near completion, 17,900 feet of new wharf at different points from Mill street to Hochelaga, of which more than one half is in 24 feet depth of water. The Wharves. The wharves are surmounted by a massive cut stone wall, along the height of which is a pleasant promenade and wide street, affording a fine v'ew of the river and its shipping. There are numerous inclined planes from the wharves by which carriages ascend to the street above ; and the whole, for appearance, commodiousness and cleanliness, is unexcelled by any port on the continent. CITY WATER WORKS. The city is supplied with water, brought from the River St. Lawrence, at a point beyond the LachineRapid.s,to the wheel house, by an aqueduct. The pumping machinery consists of two breast-wheels, capaWe of raising 5,000,000 gallons every twenty-four hours, and a powerful turbine wheel, calculated to raise nearly as much as the breast-wheels —two auxilliary steam-engines having been added, with a pumpmg-power of 3,750,000 gallons each, in twenty-four 28 1818.

These force the water up into reservoirs, situated on McTavish Street, at a lieightof two liundred feet jiljove the level of low water in the river, having a capacity of about 20,000,000 gallons. The enliirgement of these is in progress, by which the water storage will l)e increased to over 35,000,000 gallons. There is also a reservoir at Coteau Barron, about 130 feet above the low-water level of the river, which contains 4,000,000 gallons. In view of the increase of population, it will, at no distant day, be necessary to make further additions to the reservoirb ; and doubtless any new project of that kind will ])e on a much larger scale than has hithcr<-o been contemplated. The water is distributed to all parts of the city, through nearly 10-i miles of pipes. Besides the public fire hydrants, sev- eral have been erected by private individuals, making the whole number 042. Water service is supplied to 16,025 dwellings, giving 22,240 water tenants. ic i)renii.scs. l)y MUNICIPAL TELEGRAPH. The Fire, Water and Police Departments of the City Government are thoroughly connected by Kennard & Co.'s Fire Alarm and Police Telegraph, which was brought into operation on the 19th January, 18G3. The Central Police Station is thus, in constant communication with the other stations throughout the city, and the chief could instantly concentrate his forces in case of emergency. By the same agency the Superintendent of the Water Works can com- municate with the attendants at the wheel-house, work- shops, and reservoirs. For facilitating the movements of the Fire Department, Montreal is divided into four districts. There are signal- boxes placed throughout the city, at comparatively short distances apart; an alarm [giving the number of thestation] IS sounded on a church-bell, in each district, and tapped in every signt-.l-box throughout the city, generally within a minute from the time when the intelligence was first com- municated.

MOUNT ROYAL CEMETERY. Is situated on the east side of the mountain, about two miles from the City. The approach to it is by a winding carnage way, passing through which may be seen many of the wild beauties of nature, and fr-m several points on the road there are beautiful views to be had in every direction rheroad,_which is kept in the finest condition, is plarted on each side with trees. The gateway- at the entrance is a beautilul structure of cut stone, with iron o-ates. From the main entrance, avenues diverge towards differ- ent parts of the Cemetry ; tliat on the right leading to the winter vaults. In passing through the grounds the visitor sees many little nooks, under the overhanging foliao-e of trees, which grow in all their natural wildness, and whose deep shadows spread a refreshing coolness around, and invite him to rest on the garden seats which are placed in different parts. On the highest summit in the Cemetry are built the vaults of the Molson family, which are said to be the most extensive and costly private vaults on the con- tinent. Looking from this eminence the eye rano-es over a most enchanting picture of rural scenery ; in the distance rises a part of Mount Royal, clothed with its primeval torests, while immediately below lies the most finished and beautiful portion of the Cemetry, with its costly granite monuments, or more humble marble or stone tablets gleaming among the foliage and flowers. '*ii m THE LACHINE RAFIDS. One of the most delightful, as Veil as most exciting experiences of the visitor to Montreal, is the descent of the Lachine Rapids. A train leaves Bonaventure station every morning at 7 o'clock for Lachine, [9 miles] where a staunch steamer is in readiness, on which passengers may embark and return to the city, shooting the rapids, and passing •n.u<.i Vxvtvxia uiiugu Oil ihe way.

He is a fane looking man, apparently about 60 years of age- he came on board to pilot the boat over the Lachine, which is the last but most dangerous of the rapids. As the boat moves onward to the rapids, all the passengers are anxious to get a good position in order to have a good view of the heaving, breaking and laughing waters. As we near the rapids, we appear to be running upon a small grass crowned rocky island Indeed the bow of the boat is so near that It apiDears to be impossible to clear it— we look to see if the pilot is at the helm. Yes, there he stands, the Captain at his post in front of the wheel-house, and the Indian pilot, with three other strong men at the wheel; and as we look atthe calm countenance of the Indian, and see that his bright eye does not so much as wink, but is fixed steadily upon his beacon, whatever it may be, and that the wheels- men are fully under his control, we feel that, with his skill, care, and knowledge of the way, we may banish fear trom our thoughts.

The Victoria Bridge, (built iind(;r the superintendence of the celebrated Robert Stephenson) the longest and larg- est bridge in the world, is that known'as the tubular or beam bridge, and consists of a series of iron tubes resting on 24 stone piers, with a distance between each pier of 242 feet, except the centre opening, which is 330 feet in length ; its total length between the abutments is 6,600 feet, or a mile and a quarter. The bridge is approached by massive embankments, the one on the Montreal side being 1,200 feet, and that on the South shore 800 feet in length, which together, including the abutments, make the total length of the bridge, 9084 feet, or nearly a mile and three quarters. The cost of this gigantic structure was $6,300,000. In its erection 250,000 tons of stone, and 8,000 tons of iron have been used. The following are the dimensions of the tube through which the trains pass, viz: in the middle span, 22 feet high, 16 feet wide; at the extreme end, 19 feet high, 16 feet wide. The height above summer water level in the centre opening is 60 feet, descending to either end at the rate of one in 100. The foundation stone was laid on the 22nd July 1854, and the bridge was completed in 1860. It is used only for railway transit. No train is allowed to enter the bridge without a written permit from the proper officer, thus insuring exemption from collision or accident; the passage occupies about six minutes, though seeming much longer to the passenger, as it is somewhat cheerless. The river beneath the bridge has a swift cur- rent, and the piers are calculated to withstand immense pressure from descending masses of ice. NELSON'S MONUMENT. This monument, erected to the memory of the hero of Trafalgar, stands in Jacques Cartier square. The founda- tion stone was laid on the 17th August, 1808.

This Church, which was opened for public worship in December 1865, is built in the early English style of Gothic architecture, and consists of a nave and side aisles, and pulpit recess. The principal entrance is through a large open porch, and there are two side entrances giving access to ^the galleries and basement.

Montreal is already noted for the number of large and elegant churches which tower up in its midst, and there is now in course of erection a Cathedral unequalled on the Continent, for size and imposing appearance. In 1852, the old Cathedral and Episcopal Palace which tor so long had stood on St. Denis street, were destroyed by hre. Shortly after, a parish church was built on the old site in the East End, and the Bishop removed to new and roomy quarters in the large and plain looking brick mansion on Palace street, which he now occupies. A few years later, by the purchase of a portion of the estate of the late Jacob De Witt, and a section of ground Irom the ^ahngue^of the Parish of Notre Dame, used as a cemetry, iiishop Bourget had under control a large block of land in an elevated position, situated in the West End, adjoining- his palace, and very suitable for the erection of a .riant cathedral. He shaped his plans accordingly, and° the Catholics in his diocese, gradually becoming wealthy, project of building an edifice which would rival the new York Cathedral in size and mugnificence and ; 'I 1 i ■i-^ 1 il S I w.t4if-a\«aBSarr'.: 66 •W.

The space used for .skating is sur- rounded by a promenade, raised abDut a foot above the level of the ice. The front portion of the building. is two stories in height, and contains on the lower tioor^ t-omnio- dious dressing, cloak rooms and offices. At the extreme end of the building is a gallery. The building is lighted at night by gas, with colored glass'lamps. When many hundreds are on the ice, and with every vari- ety of costume, pass through all the graceful figures that ■ skaters delight in, the scene presented is dazzling. The following, taken from the columns of a local newspaper, is a description of a carnival held at the Victoria Rink, on the evening of the 3rd February of the present year : "When Lord and Lady Dufferin, attended l)y tiieir suite, took their seats under the dais about eight o'clock, the scene was magni- ficent. Never since the carnival in honor of the Prince of Wales' visit has there been such a brilliant assemblage in the Victoria Skating Rink. As the band discoursed" the noble strains of " God Save the Queen," the skaters left the attiring rooms and bounding on Wie ice, commenced their graceful evolutions. Every nationality under the sun was represented. Indians of various tribes, with thick layers of war paint, brandishing tomahawks and scalping knives; Spaniards and Italians shooting love and jealousy from their piercing black eyes ; obese Dutchmen, with their indispensable pipes and peculiar gait ; negro minstrels, rattling bones and thrumming tambourines and banjos; girls of this period with immense chignons and unsiohtly Grecians; girls of the olden times in quaint but comely costumes, eclipsing the so-called finery of the nineteenth century belles ; Chinamen and Japanese laboring hard to show their superiority over the nations they despise ; bri- gands intent on plunder ; pirates glorying in their deeds of blood, riflemen in their simple uniform, glowing with the ardour peculiar to volunteers ; ladies of the Elizabethian period proving beyond dispute their claims to beauty and fashion ; swells of this and other ages, .aportin"- eye-^-las-ies ringlets, and languishing whiskers ; ' in fact°such °a com- mingling of curious characters as to excite all kinds of emotions iu the breasts of the observers. 84 at GALLERY OF ART MOITTREAZ^ Nearly Opposite the Ottawa Hotel.

The style IS tlie medioQvial or decorated Gothic. The foundation and some four feet of the base, is of Montreal limestone, but the superstructure is of Ohio sandstone. In its design the building has one feature, distinguishing it from every other secular or ecclesiastico-secular structure in the City, namely, a richly crocketted spine, springing from a dwarf arcaded tower on the corner facing Craig and Radegonde streets. Itie effect is striking and highly favorable. The main entrance on Radegonde street stands out in relief, and has a shghtly projecting porch, with turrets, gable, &c; and the doorway has richly moulded columns; while over it is a window filled with tracery. The windows are well relieved with mouldings and columns. The roof is of the mansard pattern, and was adopted in subservience to the requirements of the climate, to which the Gothic roof, with Its many snow collecting angles, is not so well suited. It is surmounted with an appropriate cresting, which gives a liffnt and pleasmn- finiHh Tn +h" iv,+„«:„„ :. „ .-i . admire. The woodwork is finished without paint, present- ing an unusually striking and rich effect.

Was founded in 1008, by Samuel de Champlaign, on the site of the Indian villaije of Stadacona. No city on the Continent so impresses the tourist, l)y the startlino- i)eculiarities of the site and novelty of its general aspeci, as this " Ancient Capital," or stamps its impress so indelibly in eye and memory. A massive wall of hewn stone, of nearly three miles in length, and vary- ing, biit everywhere of forbidding height and thickness, with projecting bastions and frowning canons, communicating with the outward world by live massive gates, encloses the better portion of the Upper town. The CITADtL TVill perhaps prove the point of greatest interestto many, from the historical associations connected therewith, and from the fact that it is considered an impregnable fortress. It covers an enclosed area of forty acres, and is some three hundred and forty feet above the river level. The zigzag jiassage through which you enter .the fortress, between high and massive granite walls, is swept at every turn by formidable batteries of heavy guns. On the forbidding river walls and at each angle or possible commanding point, guiis of heavy calibre sweep every avenue of approach by the river. Ditches, breastworks and frowning batteries command the approaches by land from the famed " Plains of Abraham." Tho precipitous bluffs, rising almost perpendicularly from the river, +hree hundred and forty feet, present a natural barrier which ma/ be swept wath mur- derous fire, and the covered ways of approa^^h and retreat, the various kinds and calibre of guns, mortars, howitzers and munitions of war, will be viewed with eacrer interest.

The Messrs.

Quebec can minister abundantly to the tastes of those who like to yacht, fish, or shoot. Yachting, in fact, has become of late qmte an institution. You can, on those mellow Saturday afternoons in August and September, meet the whole sporting and fashionable world of the Upper Town on the Durham Ter- race or Lower Town wharves, bent on witnessing a trial of speed or seamanship between the Mouette, the Black Hawk, the Wasp, the Shannon, the Bon Homme Richard, and half a score of crack yachts and their owners. Let us see what the city contains :— First, the west wing, built about 1789 by Governor Haldimand, to enlarge the old Chateau burnt down in January, 1734 : This mouldering pile, now used as the Normal School, is all that remains of the stately edifice of old, overhanging and facing the Cul-de-Sac, where the lordly Count de Frontenac held. his quasi regal court in 1691; next, the Laval University, founded in 1854, conferring degrees under its royal charter : the conr.se of Ktudios is pimilar to that of the celebrated European University of Louvain ; then there is 'lie Quebec Seminary, erected by Bishop Laval, a Mont- morency, in 1663 ; the Ursuline Convent, founded in 1636 by 1 m lii. 104 *ffV- \ I LAKE MEMPHREMAGOG COMMENCING ON cc The ^Fast-Sailing Steam Yacht 37 WILL RUN DAILY liETWEEN m%^, ijii©i©ii?mii -ANr CaATEAXT D'ASZLVA And will make CLOSE CONNECTIONS at Magogwith Trains of the 4 Special Anangcment: can be made at Low Rates for FISHIira and PIC-ITIC FAHTIES.

As to the views to be obtained from Durham Terrace, the Glacis and the Citadel, they are unique in grandeur ; each street has its own familiar vista of the surrounding country. It is veri- ly, as Henry Ward Beecher well expresses it, " like turning over the leaves of a picture-book." The Montmorency P'alls, a magnificent sight at almost all seasons of the year, are situated about nine miles from the city. Between them and Quebec is the Beauport Lunatic Asylum, the largest and finest building of the kind in the Province. Many tourists and excursionists, after viewing the old northern capi- tal, and its romantic and beautiful surroundings, will pursue the journey still further down the great St. Lawrence to that won- derful river the Sagujiiay, which ent(;rs the St. Lawrence one hundred and twenty miles below Quebec. On the way down the river, the mouth of the river St. Anne will be passed, off the lower extremity of the Island of Orleans. This river enters the larger stream through a bold ravine, and many ascend the stream for a short distance to the Falls of St. Anne, which, with the surroundings, are pleasing and attractive. Thirty-six miles below Quebec is a group of six small islands alive with geese, ducks and seal, who make this a breeding place. The quarantine station at " Grosse Isle " deserves a passing notice— a lovely spot of itself, quietly sleeping in the great riv«r, but a very charnel house in the past, receiving, in the time of the famine in Ireland, six thousand emigrants in one huge grave. The river widens broader and broader below this point to ten and twenty miles as you sail on, as upon a shoreless sea, los- ing sight of either shore. MURRAY BAY, On the North Shore, ninety miles below Quebec, is a fashion- abl'.' w.atering plac!^, and the line fishing in Murray Rivcf is much patronized.

Continuing down the St. Law- rence, on the northern shore, TADOUSAC is reached at the mouth of the Saguenay. Here is famed facil- ities for bathing, for seal hunting, and for fishing in the tribu- taries of the Saguenay. The first permanent stone building- erected on this continent was erected here. THE SAGUENAY is the largest affluent of the St. Lawrence, having its source in Lake St. John, and a straight course ol one hundred and thirty miles from the lake to the St. Lawrence. The upper half of its course is a series of falls and rapids, navigable only by canoes, and flowing through a dense and almost unknown wilderness! The navigable portion of the river will float the largest vessels of the world, from its mouth some sixty miles to the head of navigation, and has been described as a perfectly straight, yawn- ing gulf, torn for the whole distance in the grey mica schist, rising on either hand in percipitous cliffs, whose bases rest in unknown depths — a panorama of rocky walls and precipices a region dark, desolate, cheerless and cold. The ascent terminates in Ha-IIa Bay, a quiet and lovely bay, receding from the river several miles, a cheerful village, animal life, and facilities for amusement are found here, a change most welcome from the sombre desolation of the ascent. Lake St. John, in which the river has its source, receives the waters of eleven large rivers, and an innumerable number of smaller streams from the yast water-shed surrounding it, but discharges all its waters through this one wonderful stream.

There, almost suspended in mid-air, 750 feet above the city, the visitor is afforded a charming bird's- eye view of Montreal, the River St. Lawrence, its islands and its rapids, the Victoria Bridge, and the surrounding country, dotted here and there with farm buildings and villages, mountains in the distance, &c. &c. ; all contributing to make this one of the most attractive and profitable mountain and woodland drives in the world.

This Company is, by the dissolution of the Montreal Assurance Company, the oldest Canadian Insurance Cor- poration of the City. It was founded in 185G under a special charter, but did not begin operations until 1864. The Company has very ample powers by its charter, more so in fact than any other Company in the Dominion. It has power to trans- act every kind of Insurance, but confines itself to Fire, Life, Guarantee and Accident Branches, in all of which it is prosperous. This Institution deserves more than a passing notice from the fact that it has, notwithstanding its very heavy contributions to the severe losses which have accompanied Fire Insurance business iu Canada during the past twenty years, maintained its own. It passed through the great conflagration at St. John with quite a large loss, the Avhole of which it paid within sixty days, notwithstanding that such a " clean sweep " is always availed of to take a much longer time in the adjustment of the claims, which was notably the case on the part of all the British Offices in the settlement of their St. John losses, the Citizens having been the first Company to pay all its liabilities in that conflagration. The Stock of the Company is entirely held by Montreal property-holders, and its Capital and Assets together are sufficient to warrant any and every one relying with the utmost confidence on its engagements ; in fact, during its lengthy career there have been no claims contested, but those which it would have been absolutely demoralising to admit. Its repayments to its Policy-holders have always been liberal, and in amount they have been very large. The Directors of the Company are among the most in- fluential citizens of Montreal, including in their body the names of Sir Hugh Allan, the President, whose attention to the working of the Company has always been of the closest, and Mr. Henry Lyman, the Vice-President, whose interest in Fire insurance and its concomitant branches has extended over a period of thirty years. It is the duty of every Canadian to encourage his home ' \i.. II 112 institutions first, where, every thing being equal, he can receive tlie same advantages as he can get from any other source, and we say unhesitatingly that the "Citizens" having promptly paid all its engagements, should receive first encouragement. It has branch offices and agencies all throughout the Dominion. With the view of retaining its money for the benefit and advantage of this country, it does not transact any foreign business. Either as a Life, Guarantee, Accident or Fire Company, its rates are as low as safety will permit. We invite all strangers to this City to take an Accident or a Life Policy from it before leaving town, which would cover any length of time, and be made payable in any country desired. Its Fidelity Policies offer ten-fold the security of any other office. il, he can my other Citizens " d receive hout the :t 16 benefit isact any Accident fety will Accident ch would le in any ty of any >\ Citizens Insurance Coniimny's Building, 179 St. .Iiimos Street.
