A beautiful reservoir, cleft out of the rock, glitters in the sunlight with all the formal beauty of a paysage by Watteau. The costumes and gay colours of the present day heighten the illusion, and impart health and freshness to the city spread beneath. In the distant valleys, the agricultural skill of the English farmer combines with old French minuteness and precision to create a scene.

But the spectator from the hill-top or the frequenter of Great St. James Street, or the Rue Notre Dame, must not suppose that in 1812, the year of the war with the United States, things were as they now are. Not for twenty-five years after did a civic government provide for the wants of advancing civilization ; not for twenty-five years, did gaslights, 6r pavements, or hydrants exist. The long line of banks and stately edifices which now adorn Great St. James street, rise from an abando- ned graveyard, which in 1812, was bounded by the crumbling city defences.

Craig street was the town ditch ; beyond, on the upland, were country houses and orclwirds. In the same year, Notre Dame street, now flashing with plate glass and the piled stores of jewellery and brocade, was a narrow street of low, cozy, Cana- dian houses, one story and a half high — the sancia of much genial grace and of an unbounded hospitality. The nocturnal ^ reveller— and there was a good deal of revelry in those days — who slipped off the disjointed stones, mis-called trottoiry plunged mid-leg in the mud ; in the palpable darkness, without hope of refuge in a street railway car, or of help from a sleepy policeman. The old Catholic parish church, which in early days gave a Catho- lic welcome to the churchless Protestant congregation, stood lengthwise in front of the present noble church of Notre Dame, grand in design, though somewhat marred by a too great severity of style. Those splendid wharves faced with miles of cut stone, unequalled in America, and rivalled only in Europe by the docks of Liverpool, or the quays of St. Petersburg, have replaced a nauseous bank, heaped with filth and garbage; and a muddy islet, the receptacle of driftwood and drowned animals ; and a turbid stream, from whence the strongest swimmer never rose. Montreal of the present day, with its palatial residences, — its places of public resort, — markets, numerous, convenient and ornamental, — with its cathedrals, churches, colleges, convents, with its multiplied institutions and social improvements, — with a population of over 130,000 souls, is as superior to the Montreal of 1840 as the Montreal of 1840 was in advance of the Montreal of 1812; and yet at that time it was the commercial heart of Canada : the fountain of supply : the focus of mercantile energy and wealth ; and was regarded as the grand end and aim — the promised prize of American conquest.

Montreal is the port at which arrives the great bulk of the importations from Great Britain and other places abroad, being there either re-sold or trans-shipped. A large wholesale and manufacturing trade is carried on in Montreal in all d-scriptions of goods; the manufacture of boots and shoes particularly has risen to a great prominence, and many persons engaged in the business have rapidly acquired wealth. The wholesale trade is in the hands of some ten or a dozen houses. Tlie amount of capital invested in all the works is over $750,000, and the number of boots and shoes of all kinds manufactured, average upwards of 10,000,000 from each factory, This branch of trade gives constant employment to over 1,500 persons, many of whom, of course, are women and children. The city and suburbs arc lighted with gas, and many of the principal streets paved with stone. From which ever side approach- ed, Montreal and its vicinity (the wood clad "Mount Royal" forming a magnificent background,) with its numerous beautiful villas, orchards, and delightful drives, its grand spires and lofty towers, present to the view of the beholder a vast, picturesque, and grand panorama. ,. , Montreal has also magnificent water works, lately constructed, at an outlay of $1,200,000, TraTeller* Sample Trunks at £• Perry & Co'*. 21 re Henderson** Shirt Store, 415 Notre-Dame.

The railing is divided into compartments by massive stone pillars, and, together with the plinth, is of a design corresponding in style with the church; which by-the-by, is also used by the Scotch soldiers of the Garrison.

An entabla- ture marking the separation of the second storey from the third- or attic storey, and projecting forward in the centre of the build- ing over the four Corinthian columns, is enriched with medal- lions and dentils to correspond in richness and effect with the capitals of the columns. The upper part of the building is ter- minated with an attic cornice, breaking forward with the centre of the building, which corresponds in width with the portico on the ground floor. Thus the effect of a centre, indicated by the projecting portico on the ground floor, is maintained throughout the whole height of the building, and, being surmounted with a sculptured group, forms the most prominent feature in the compo- sition. Another noticeable feature in this building is the stacHs of chimneys carried up above the attic cornice.

It is fonr stories high, and built of Montreal limestone, presenting a very imposing appearance. The ground floor, occupying the whole length of the building, used as the Retail department, is well lighted from front and rear, a space of fifteen feet being left be- hind for this purpose, the front window being alone 22 ft. wide. The ceiling is 15 ft. high, and laid out in beautifully executed, pannelled work in plaster, supported by light iron pillars. The sides of the walls above the shelving are handsomely laid out in arches, each bearing decorations in bm reliefs.

The ground flat is occupied as retail stores, the second and third as offices, and the fourth contains the Lodge Committee and Lecture rooms of the craft, which are fitted up in a style not to be surpassed in the Dominion of Canada. * - ' Place d'Armes, or French Square, is occupied in the centre by a pleasant enclosure, surrounded by a handsome iron railing, with gates at each corner surmounted by stones bearing the city arms. The garden is laid out with shrubs and flower beds, having a rather pretty fountain in the midst, around Which are placed seats constituting a pleasant lounge. Merchant's Bank is executed in Ohio sandstone from the level of the plinth to the top of the enriched freize of the main cornice. The height from the street to the top of the cornice is 67 ft. The upper members of the cornice are of galvanised iron, sanded and painted to match the Ohio stone. The main entrance is on the serai-circular corner forming the angle of Place D'Armes and Notre Dame street, and gives access to the vestibule of the Bank- ing room, a very handsome apartment, 38 ft. by 32 ft., and 18 ft. in height, and is decorated possibly more than any other banking room in Canada, the walls being pannelled in scagliola, in imitation of various marbles, having Parian cement mouldings dividing the several panels from each other. The ceiling is frescoed in the best style, and the whole of the flooring of en- trances, of which there are two, and the space devoted to the public, is laid in tiles of very handsome design.

The corner stone of this edifice, which is built in the perpendicular Gothic style of the middle ages, was laid on the 3rd September 1824, and was opened for public worship in July 1829. It was originally intended to make it much larger than it is at present, in fact, to extend it down to St. Paul street, and to build it in the shape of a Maltese Cross, thus to make it a Cathedral for all Lower Canada ; but, for many reasons, the plan had to be resigned in favour of the present building, the length of which is 255 feet 6 inches,and its breadth 144 feet 6 inches. The height of the towers is 220 feet. The great window at the high altar, which is filled with beautifully stained glass, is 64 feet high and 32 feet wide. The church ia capable of accommodating over seven thousand persons. In the north-east tower is a fine chime of bells, and in the north-west tower is placed the largest bell in America, cast expressly for this church, and weighing 29, 400 lbs ; its sound is very remarkable. This tower is open to the public for a small fee ; from the top a splendid view of the River St. Lawrence, the island of Montreal, St. Helen's island, Victoria Bridge and tlie surrounding country, is presented. •,,.•'-: TrnnkS) Valises and Carpet Das* i^t JE.

The buildings are heated by steam and furnished with every convenience wliich skill has devised. When we say that it is from this house the celebrated Canada Directory of 1857, and also the first-class Canadian Educational series now so generally used throughout the country are issued, we need not further praise the energy or public spiritedness of the proprietor, who is at all times willing to allow parties to visit the premises. c» ' ST.

The interior of each warehouse is fitted up in a style befitting the general character of this truly handsome block. .. : ST. SACIIAMENT STREET, ' " '' '' ' Merchants Exchange. This fine building, the " Rialto" of Montreal, is situated in this, one of the narrowest streets of the city, and is consequently seen to great disadvantage.

Mills, foundries, and in fact all manufactories requiring water power, are rabidly springing up on its banks. New City Gas Works were incorporated in July, 1847. Its capital is $300,000. This Company has the monopoly, it being the only gas company in the city, and of course the consumers are charged exorbitant rates. It is greatly to be wondered at that some of our energetic and public spirited men do not take the matter in hand and start a new company in opposition to the present : there is not the slightest doubt but that it would pay handsomely. .. .; Watbr Works. The water is taken from the St Lawrence about one and a half miles above the Lachine Rapids, where the elevation of the river surface is about 3*7 feet above the Harbour of Montreal. The Wheel-house at the termination of the aqueduct is worthy of notice.

This gigantic structure, which was inaugu- rated by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, in August, 1860, spans the 8t. Lawrence at Point St. Charles, the terminus of the Grand Trunk Railway. It is one of the most stupendous and massive structures of modern times. It is tubular, consisting of 23 spans of 242 feet each, with the exception of the one in the centre, under which the steamboats pass, it being 330 feet wide. The dimen- sions of the tubes are 19 feet high at the extreme end, rising to 22 feet in the centre tube, by 16 feet wide. The Bridge is ap- proached at each end by a causeway terminating in abutments of solid masonry. The southern causeway is 240 feet long, and the northern 1,400, the width of each being 90 feet. The total length of the bridge is 2 miles, less 50 yards. 250,000 tons of stone and 8,000 tons of Iron were used in its construction. By this bridge All Minds'of Tmnlcs at IE.

The general raute is up the main Street of the St. Lawrence Suburb, past the toll gate, turn off to the left, and ascend gradually the Mountain side : arriving at a branch road which leads to the Mount Royal Ceme- tery, we take the road to the right and continue our course till we arrive at Cote des Neiges, which pretty little village lies nest- led in the bosom of the mountain, and sheltered by its branching arms from North and East ; we here stop at the Bellevue Hotel (late Sword's) and after regaling our ladies with Strawberries and Cream, and ourselves with a glass of first class Cognac or Soda- Water, we take a ramble through the proprietors well kept grounds and then we call our jarvey and on again. Leaving the Bellevue we drive on up the grade and gradually reach the summit, at which a toll gate is placed. Here we are quite shut in on all sides, but as our vehicle turns the curve, we cannot restrain ourselves from indulging in many excla- mations of admiration ; there, almost at our feet lies the city, with its spires, its houses, its streets. There also is Canada's pride, the Victoria bridge, the Nuns' Island in its glorious verdancy, the glittering river, with many gallant vessels, which, after battling the breeze, now lie quietly at the wharf, either loading or discharging their cargoes. There also is St. Helen's Island, and behind it the spires of the church in Longueuil village. The base of the mountain, almost all around, is adorned with many elegant villas, the palatial summer resi- dences of our merchant princes. The choicest orchards of Lower Canada are also situated around it, the fruit being of the most delicious flavour and greatest luxuriance of yield. Taken as a whole, this is one of the most pleasant drives in the Dominion. *--■ — -■' - 1 ■ — — ... — . -.. - — . ■..-..■■ ■_ — . . - - _ . ^ ^ ^ 9oiii|«i|piliVnuUiJ»4i|lB« Perry ^Cq'9« Linen Cn§Cti, ffileeve jbinks^ A««y at KMi4erson's< MotfKT RoTAL Cbmetert \b one of tliose places of interest which travellers nerer ntglect to Tiawt.
