VIEWS IN UIJEHEC.

In order to enable the visitor to see as much as
possible of the old world city of Quebec during his
stay, we give in the following pages a description of a
few drives, which will include the objects of greatest
interest, and in doing so it will be necessary to leave
out many which, with an extended sojourn, no tourist
should omit. There is not on this continent a city
whose natural beauties and historical reminiscences
are so great; in fact the difficulty with the writer
is to rtirain from mentioning all that must necessa-
rily be attractive. The city is unique, a walled
. fortress of unrivalled strength and of magnificent
situation. From the height of Cape Diamond the view
of the St. Lawrence is a superb panorama, a view of
mountain, river and yalley, unequalled in the world,
In passing through thf? quaint and narrow streets one
feels that he is treading on a strange and weird world,
wholly at variance with the rest of our continent. It
is a city in which romance mingles with history and
the age of chivalry will draw its memories to the
times we live in with a charm that is bewildering
and fascinating. Every where there are battlements,
fortresses, castles, convents, monasteries and
towering walls and the imagination rushes from the
enchainment of practical existence to revel in the
sbro>yded past.

THE FIRST DRIVE.

The First Drive which the stranger should take
will be a visit to the Ursuline Convent, which was
founded by Madame de la Peitrie in 1641. The
convent was twice destroyed by tiie, once in 1650
and again in 1686, after which it was again erected,
but many additions have since been made and the
present buildings are very extensive, and the pupils
number 300.

The Ursuline Nuns are cloistered and are cele-
brated for their piety and attainments. The Chapel
of St. Ursula is connected with the c invent, and in it
are many valuable paintings, among which are the
following :

Over the front door.

Jesus, sitting down at meat in Simon's house, Mary

Magdalene ,,.,Ph. de Champagne,

The skull of St. Justus, in 1662. A parcel of the
Holy Cross, in 1'667. A parcel of the Crown of
thorns, brought from Paris, in 1830.

Opposite th« Chapel of St. Ursula is the site of the
dwelling occupied by Madame de ia Peltrie, the
foundress.

Descending Garden street is the English Ca
thedral, erected in 1804 on the site of the Church of
the Recollots. It is built in Roman style of archi-
tecture and is filled with mural monumentE, one of
which is erected to the Duke of Richmond, a former
Governor of Canada, whose remains lie near tlie
pulpit and who~died in Upper Canada 20th August,
1819. Another monument is erected to Generai
Monckton, who fought under Wolfe at the capture
of Quebec m 1759, and who died on 10th May in
1830. The tattered colors of the 69 th Regiment are
placed in the church.

The Basilica Minor, thereto raised by Pio Nono in
1874, was consecrated in 1666 by Monseigneur de
Laval, an eminent divine, who became first bishop of
the colony and who was founder of the Seminary
tSchool, which has added to itself a U'liver&ity, beat*-
tog the name of tho founder.

l.rcaviiig the Basilica and the 5?eminary Chapel, the
flrive will be continued to the Grand Battery, from
which a mngniticent view of the St. Charles valley,
the village ofBeauport and the ranges of the Laur-
entides can be had. 'J'here are fifty guns mounted
oil the Battery whic;h conamand the entrance to the
Harbor. In 1775, Arnold naarched his men along
the streets immediately below and suffered a defea^j.
Qiiite close where was Hope Gate is the build-
ing once occupied by General Montcdm. Descend-
ing from the Battery by Palace PI ill the visitor
should not omi^ to visit the ruins of the Intendants'
Palace, which are now used as vaults for the storage
of beer, manufactured immediately facing the ruins.
The extent of the building can easily be traced, as,
although during its occupation by the troops in 1775
under Montgomery and Arnold, it was bombarded
from the city and destroyed by Hre, there are sutli-
cient remains to judge of the once magnificent
structure.

Passing over Doreh«^ster Bridge which crosses the
river St. Chirles, called before the St. Croix an<i a!so
the Cabir Coubat, the tourist reaches the village of
Beauport, near which is the Beauport Asylum. Tht>
line of road is beautified by rows of white cottages,
fronted by small patches of garden. On the site of
Beauport the English were defeated by the French
in the attack made by Wolfe on 31st July, 1759, in
which disastrous rencontre the English lost nearly
seven hundred men. At about the distance of seven
miles from the city are the Falls of Montmorency,
which can be seen from either above or below.
The views from both places being so grand the
visitor is advised not to neglect a sight which
has hardly a parallel. Leav'ijg the Flotel on the
further bank of the rushing river, he des-
cends by a flight of steps on which is constructed a
stand, commanding a view of the summit of the
Falls, the sound of whose roar in that locality is
more than bewildering. The wild leap of the mad
waters dazzles the brain and creates a whirl in the
mind which is not easily forgotten. The view from

THE SECOND DRIVE.

The Second Drive recommended to the visitor is
that of the Citadel, and in passing to it through St.
Louis street, is the house in which Montgomery was
laid out ; and at the foot of the hill leading to the
Citadel is where the brave otiicer was buried, from
which place his corpse was removed on 16th Jui.e,
18 1 8, to be buried in St. Paul's Church Cemetery, N. Y.
The entrance to the Citadel is through the Chain
gate and afterwards Dalhousie gate, where a guide
will be furnished. Immediately opposite are the
Officers Quarters, in which the Princess Louise re-
sided while in the city Within the walls are case-
mated barracks, loop-holed for musketry and com-
manding the trenches, with which the Citadel is
surrounded, and the whole country landwards. The
Harbor is commanded by strong batteries on which
are mounted two Armstrongs and a Palliser. The
Flagstaff Bastion is over three hundred and fifty
feet above tide water and the view from it is the
grandest possible to be conceived. The St. Law-
rence rolls magnificently onwards to the ocean and
Point Levis, the Island of Orleans and the village of
Beauport stand forth boldly in unrivalled beauty.
To the west are the Plains of Abraham, rendered
ever memorable by the battle, which transferred
Canada to the Britis'i Crown. Proceeding through
the trenches and over the Glacis, the visitor can
descend the steps to the Dutterin Terrace, a prome-
nade from which a view may be had not to be sur-
passed in the world. The Terrace was this year
declared open by the Marquis of Lome and the
Princess Louise, who were on the occasion greeted
with a magnificant reception and illumination in
the evening.

Driving through St. Roch by the ijtto River Road
the visitor Mill reach the Indian villtge ol" Jjorette,
jijtuate at about nine miles from the city. On the
road is the French Catholic Cemetery. In the centre
of the villnge ar^ the Falls of Lorette, a delightful
piece of scenery, and enhanced by the chaimin;]^
walks laid out by the proprietor of the hotel. In
the western part of the village are the houses of the
remains of the once powerful tribe of the Hurona,
who have th'^ir own church, which it is said was
designed after the model of the church in Loretto
in the old world, and whose legend has rendered it
famous. Imraedi itely above the Falls is the Aque-
duct, from which Quebec is supplied with water, (hi
the river the scenery is so charming that the slranger
can hardly fail to visit It, and take a paddle up the
stream tnrough fairy vistas of woodland grandeur lo
Lake St. Charles. The visitor c-^n in Lorette pur-
chase all kinds of Indian workmanship and test the
dexterity of the Indian youth in shooting for coppers
and th© beauty of the Indian maidens in needle work.

THE THIRD DRIVE.

Tub Tinru) Duivk will l)o ov r thf>. (irvnde AUcm or
St Louis lOi'l, le;i<ling to the famed Plains of Abra-
ham, whereon i.s erected a monument bearing the
following inscription :

••This pill-tr was etocted by the British nrmy in

(leneral Sir Benjimin d'Urban beint<: commander of
the forces, to repl.ioe tbfit erected by (iovernor-
(leneral Lord Aylmer, in 18;;2, whicli was broKen
and (ielaced and is deposited beneath."

At the time of the battle tije centre of the French
line was in the vicinity of th»» St. Bridget's
Asylum, their left wing extendir.g towards the St.
Lawrence and the right to the St. Ch^irles valley,
<iovva which .tliey retreated after tlie defeat.-
After pas 'ng the Toll Oate, for about a liundred
yards, the visitor will be upon the ground oee pied
by the Engli.^h centre, the left wing extending to-
y,ard3 the St. Charles and the right towards the St.
Lawrence.

At the western part of the Plaihs is the locality
known at the time r.f Wolfe's victory as the Rui.sseau
St. Denis, through whose vale the ascent was made.

The Sillery Convent, called the Convent of Jesus
Mane, and the Church of St. Columba stand on the
heights above Sillery, where in times past there
were camps of the Algonquin tiibes of Indians at
that time protected by the P'rench from their foes
tho Iriquois. In connection with this Indian set-
tlement Is the discovery, a short time since, of the
remains of the Jesuit ^Missionary Emmanuel Masse,

several citizens A church was built on the spot by
the Commander of Sillery in 1077.

VVoodHoll Cemetery, appertaining to St. Patrick'*
Church, ia a most beautiful spot ; at presen.. there
«re few monuments to be seen, as the acquisi-
tion has been but recently made ; but in Mount
Uermon, the Protesta.it Cemetery, there are very
ihie monuments, and among them one in remem-
brance of a heart breaking incident, the death of
many newly arrived immigrants by the burning of
the steamer "Montreal." Descending to Chan plain
street, and very near the foot of the Citadel, will be
noticed the place where Montgomery fell on the
occasion of his assnnlt on the city, on the midnight
of Slst December, 1775. Passing through the Lower
Town, which is the mercantile locality, the're is
nothing of great interest to attract attention except
the ancient style ot architecture or many of the
houses. Very nearly opposite the Quebec Bank is
where Arnold erected a oarricade and from which
he was dislodged after a severe skirmish, in which
the Canadian Volunteers covered themselves with
glory.

The drive out by the Sr.. Foy road is one of the
most beautiful round the city,, and commands a grand
view of the St. Charles valley, the Laurentides and
the St. Lawrence below^ Quebec, reaching as far as
Cape Tourment j and in tine weather the spray froro
the Montmorency Falls is clearly discernable. A
monument erected to those who fell in the battle of
St. Foy, is erected at about two miles from the
city, and bears the simple inscrip.ion: "Aux braves
de 17G0; erige par la Societe St. Jean Baptiste de
Quebec, 1860." The statue of Bellona was presented
by Prince Napoleon. The Belmont Catholic cemetery
is on this road, and contains many fine monuments.

Proceeding by the road turning southwards near
the St. Foy church, the stranger reaches the Si).
Louis road, from which the view o^ the St. Lawrence
again meets him. Villas and mansions, surrounded
by magnihcent grounds, are on each side, and the
drive at parts leads through avenues of trees, grace-
ful elms, stately pines and magniiicent birch trees,
whose branches and foliage extend a g ateful shade

dence and farm of Col. Rhodes, where summer seems
ever to reign. Conservatories, greenhouses, vineries,
hothouses, forcing houses everywhere abound.
In the depth of winter the atmosphere is dense with
the perfume of the flowers of Araby and Persia.
The land of the sun boasts not such a variety of" tbd
delights of the garden, and the Peri at the gates
of Paridis© could be satisfied to cull the flowerets
which are here so luxuriant. It would seem that a
magic wand had created in a moment to their full
lusciousness and ripeness, myriads of grapes, straw-
berries, pears and oranges. The strawberries alone
are a marvel, exceeding in size all that imagination
can picture. And this gentleman does not confine
his amateur tastes alone to the cultivation of fruit,
but raises cattle ; the equal of which one must travel
far to see. The drive into the c^ty by the St. Louis
road is one of the most entrancing, and the breeze
from the river renders even the hottest days in
summer pleasant and agreeable.

THE FOURTH DRIVE.

LAKE BEAUPORr.-A DAY'S FISHING.

The Fourth Drive recommended to the stranger
will prove, parhaps, the most delightful. It ib that
to Lake Beauport, which will be reached by the
Charlei^bourg road, passing through the village
ot the same name, in which the terrified priests
and women found refuge at the time of the siege.
Many portions of Charlesbourg remind us of an
English village, and there is ever in the place a
delightful sense of Acadian simplicity. Not very far
from it are the ruins of Ch&teau Bigot, called alscr
the Hermitnge and Beaumanoir, the rural retreat.

THE SHRINE AMy FALLS OF ST£. ANNE.

At the distance of about twenty miles belew Quebec
is the vill.jge of Ste, Anne de Beau»>re, sometimes
called 8te. Anne du Nord, and always ciled Li
Bonne Ste. Anne, to whom is consecrated the Parisli
church, erected about three years ago by the Pope
into a shrine of the Hrst order, in wbich is a tine
painting by tne famous artist LeBrun, Ste. Anne
and the Virgin, presented by M. deTracy, viceroy of
New France, in 1636, to the church, ior benefits
received. The festival d;iy of this saint is the 26th
of July, at which time thousands of pilgrim'^ procee<l
not only by steamer and carriage, but on foot, to
this holy shrine, many walking the whole distance
from Quebec to the church as. a penance, or in
performance of vows. The church is a new building,
the old one having been found too small for the
accommodation of the crowds of pilgrims who
resorted there. In it are placed thousan'U of crutches
left by those who departed after being cured
of the lameness atid other maladies by the Bonne
Ste. Anne, whose praises are world wide, for hither
congregate daily thousandjj of pilgrima from all
parts to be cured of their infirmities. Deposited in
the sanctuary Ls a holy relic, being a finger bone of
the saint herself, on kissing which the devotee is
immediately relieved of all wordly ills and misfor-
tunes. Wonder begins and misbelief vanishes on
gazing at the piles of crutches; there one beholds
unmistakeabh* evidence of the unlimited medicmnl
pov/er of the mother of the Virgin. Daily are the
proofs of this power; the stranger can see with his
own eyes, the decrepit, the halt, the sore, the lame,
the wounded carried into the holy sanctuary and
depart therelmm, after kissing the holy relic, cured
and whole. Many are the scenes here witnessed of

THE LEVIS FORTS AND THE ^ALLS OF

CHAUDIERE.

The visitor to Quebec should not fail to visit the
Town of Levis, on whose heights once encamped the
British troops in 1759 and bombarded the city. Not
long since an encampment of Indians was located at
the place now called St. Joseph de Levis, and the
citizens and strangers were then wont to make
excursions to interview these dusky roamers. In
rear of the Town of Levis are constructed three
Forts, for the protection landwards of the position.
They are of triangular formfition, the base facing the
city and consisting simply of a wallj without any de-
fence except the ditch, leaving itopen to be battered
by the guns of the Citadel in the event of occupation
by an enemy. The two other sides are strongly
loop holed casements, protected by a glacis, and
having loop holed caponnieres at the angles to sweep
the ditch and which are reached by subterranean
passagei. The ditch all round the fort is twenty feet
deep by about forty feet in width and is crossed at
only one point by a draw bridge, which is removed
at will. E^ch fort contains at least one large well
and has accommodation for about four hundred men.

Number one which is situated in rear of the Grand
Trunk Station, is altogether built of stone, while the
exterior facings of the casements of numbers 2 and
3 are of brick. The mngazines are two in number
and are built to contain a large quantity of powder.
The present armament of each fort consists of but
one pivot gun, a seven inch breach loading Arm-
strong, throwing a projectile of 120 lbs., but at very
short notice the three forts could be completely
armed from the vast stores in the Citadel. These
forts cost the English Government $1,000;000.
