The Ottawa comes down from the North-west, and sweeps round the Island, forcing the St. Lawrence to the South side. The waters of the two do not mingle together for a distance of 80 miles. The Island is rich and fertile, and was a favorite hunting ground of the Huron Indians, who had a fortified village at Hochelaga, near where the City of Montreal stands. The name of this village has given the title to a delightful volume on Canada, by the late MajorWar^ burton. The Citj stands at the base of Mount Royal, a mag- nificent hill wooded to the summit, on the slopes of which many of the merchants have erected splendid residences, and froi • vrhich delightful views are obtained of the magnifi- cent river and the surrounding campaign, which stretches away for miles till it is dimmed by distance, or lost in the horizon. The mountain is intersected by a steep road, leading to the pleasant little village of Cdte-des-Neiges, and from the western side the eye scans the Lachine rapids, and Ste. Anne's, where Moore wrote the celebrated boat song The City U tolerably regularly built| and already possesBet itSORES HAND-BOOK OF wharves which are unsurpassed on the' continent for solidity and strength, while they are so conveniently planned that vessels of very large size lay alongside and discharge or take in cargo. In approaching the City from Quebec, by the river, the traveller is delighted to observe aline of hum- ble but cleanly looking dwellii^s painted in gay colours, which stretches along for several miles. These are the Que- bec Suburbs, and Hochelaga, almost wholly peopled by French. On the left hand lies the small pretty islet of St. Helens, which belongs to the Government. The mantle of foliage with which it is covered in the summer, conceals the stern preparations of war it contains, for it is fortified very strongly, and guarded by a detachment of the troops in the barracks. Opposite to it, a block of formal, dismal looking buildings denote that they are designed for the use of the military, and the sentry pacing here and t-iere, with measured tread proclaims the fact. A little farther up he sees the City Hall, where the City Fathers meet, with its dome, covered with tin plates which glitter in the sun. A handsome cutstone building, stately and im- posing in appearance, it stretches along the River side. Underneath it is fitted up as a market place, aud here the habitants resort for the purpose of disposing of their pro- duce. It is called Bonsecours Market, after the Church of Notre Dame de Bon Secours, which is near to it. Bonsecours presents a lively scene on market days, when the farmers congregate, and the stranger is amused by the quaintness of their costumes, and the abundance of gestures they exhibit, as they press their articles upon their customers. Thence, funning beside the wharves, is a range of solid stone buildings, occupied as stores and places of business, making p, fine sweep along the banks of the River to Custom House ,>, -* " %...

The Customhouse stands in the middle of the Square, and in front of it there is a small garden, with a *et d^eau. Still farther up the banks are the wharves intend- ed for the use of the Ocean Steamers, at the foot of McGiU Street. As yet, however, they are only in a state of prepara- tion ; but when completed they will form spacious dock8|„ facilitating the landing and loading of cargo, as the Steam- - ers will be laid close alongside the wharf. Here the La«| chine Canal commences, and the terminus of the Grand Trunk Railway, which crosses at Windmill Point, is to be placed at the bottom of McGill Street, having tracks along the wharves, thus affording abundant room for the immense stores of cargo from the west, which will be brought down by the railroad. When all these operations have come to a close, Montreal will not be surpassed by any city in its trafiBc accommodations. St. Anne's Market is a little way up McGill Street, on our- Tight hand, and it forms one side of Commissioners Street.' This Market is not so well fitted up as Bonsecours, but it is next in size, and here the inhabitants can purchase all the necessaries for the table, and also country made straw hats and other articles. On the other side of the Market, and facing it, is the Grey Nunnery, a large building enclosed b/ a wall, and having a garden around it. ^ McGill Street is a wide and excellent street, running northwards in the direction of the mountain, which appears to be at its head. As we look up the street the outline of the mountain stands before us in bold relief against the sky,' with its rounded bluff, abrupt and precipitous, covered m\h ■t 40 hooee's hanp-book of foliage, while here and there the bare browa rock jutting out, forms a striking contrast to the verdant leaves of the trees and shrubs. McGill Street is the boundary of the city proper, on the west, and has on its other side Qriffintown p.nd the St. Antoine suburbs. St. Paul, Notre Dame, and Great St. James Streets, strike off from it on the east, the two latter lyin^ upon the top of an elevation, which runs jthe whole length of the City. Commissioners Square an^ paymarket Square are at its head ; and on the other side of Haymarket Square is Beaver Hall Hill, adorned by several jelegant Churches, — St. Andrew's Church (Presbyterian), •Zion Church (Independent), and the Unitarian Church. .Victoria Hall, the Parade Room of the Volunteer Rifles, is .also at the head of the Square. The Gavazzi riots took place in front of Zion Church, several years ago, when some .persons were shot by the military. .. ^ ,. St. Paul Street is entirely occupied by Warehouses and Stores, and is the principal business street of the City. It runs parallel with Commissioners and Notre Dame Streets to Dalhousie Square, and is intersected by various smaller streets, such as St. Peter Street, St. Francis Xavier Street, Ac. The wholesale trade is carried on in these localities. In St. Sacrament Street, which crosses from St. Francis ^Xavier to St. Peter Street, stands the Merchants' Exchange, the Rialto of Montreal. It is a handsome building, very conveniently planned, and covers, with the space behind, about half an acre of ground. It is in the modern Italiaa ^etyle of architecture, and has a Reading Room, Committee Rooms, &c., all well suited for the purposes for which they •jvere intended. The building, however, is not seen to ad- vantage, being in a narrow street, where its proportions are hidden from view. Opposite the Exchange is the Telegraph ,< ^.. '•'sBjr?

Passing from McGill Street along Notre Dame Street, the first object which attracts the attention, is the RecoUet Church, at the corner of St. Helen Street, with ita front to Notre Dame Street. This is the oldest Church in the City, haying been built in 1725. Bonsecours Church, the next old- est, was built in 17*72. It has an ancient, quaint appearance, with its portico, and its high stone wall, closing it in from the busy world around. A few trees and shrubs flourish in front of it, and heighten the appearance of quietude which it has. In our onward progress we find that improyements are going on, the intention evidently being to attain greater width, for we observe blocks of elegant new buildings erected a short distance back from the line of the older houses, which stand out so much as to make the street inconve- niently narrow. It is evident from these old houses that Notre Dame Street was planned at that ancient period when cleanliness and fresh air were not classified as luxuries. But that time has passed now, let us hope never more to return, and we see that the children of this generation are wiser than their fathers, for there is a sttong desire to attain both these blessings. The great requisite for making Notre Dame Street one of the finest in the city, is greater breadth, and this could be got all along by pulling down the old houses and building others on a line with these handsome structures we see. But moving on we cross St. Frangois Xavier Street and notice the Seminary of St. Sulpice built at the corner of it, having on the front wall one of the two public clocks the city can boast of. The Seminary is an unprepossessing building of rough stone, and washed with lime. The garden of the Seminary is large, extending almost to St. Paul Street. ,»i MOOEE S HAND-BOOK OF A high wall is built around the parts facing Notre Dame and St. Francis Xavier Street, running a considerable length down the latter. Beside the Seminary, and contrasting strongly with it, is the Fr. \ch Parish Church, one of the finest buildings in Montreal. It fronts on Place d'Armes, and has a spacious porch. It is flanked by two towers 240 feet high, and in them there is a fine peal of bolls. The Church is about the same in length as the towers are in height. From the summit of the towers a fine view of the city and surrounding country is obtained. It was at first in- tended to make this church very much larger than it is at present, in fact to extend it almost to St. Paul Street, and to build it in the form of a Maltese Cross, so as to make it a cathedral for all Lower Canada ; but the plan was given up and altered to the present structure. In front of the Church is Place d'Armes, commonly called French Square, with its plot of garden and its jet d^eau in the centre. On the oppo- site side of the square stand two elegant substantial build- ings, the Bank of Montreal and the City Bank. Proceeding onwards ia Notre Dame Street we notice on the left hand side handsome modern blocks of buildings such as the Crystal Block, side by side with, and forming a striking contrast to, the old French houses, with their small narrow windows, and quaint looking roofs, till we come to the larg-e and stately Court House, which stands back from tho street a considerable distance. Here the Courts of Law, ci- vil and criminal, sit, and here also are the various offices attached to them, and the Police Magistrate's office and court. On the opposite side, stretching clown to St. Paul Street is Jacques Cartier Square, named after the celebrated French navigator, at the head of which is the statue of Nelson stand- ing on a pillar ivith his back to the River.

Various efforts have been made to raise funds for the purpose of putting it in thorough repair, but without much success, as it still gtfads in all its dilapidation, an unsightly olyect. TheGovemer|s Oarden is on the other side of the street, and the old Gov- ernment House, where the French Governors held their levees and transacted business, still stands a little farther on, to the right hand side facing it. The old building is now con- verted into the Jacques Cartier normal school. Behind it, however, the Government offices remain^ Still fitrther on, we come to Dalfaousie Square, where the Donegana Hotel opens its portals to receive strangers. Near here also are the head quarters of the military, and the officersV rooms, while the barracks lie to the right fronting the River. St, Mary's Street is a continuation of Notre Dame Street and leads into the Quebec Suburbs, where stands the jail, a sub* stantial building, firm and solid, but too small for the neces- sities of the district. " . .1, A little before we come to the Jail, on the opposite side of the street, is St. Thomas Church, Countess of Huntingdon's Con« ■ection. This Church was built by Thomas Molson, Esq., who has also erected Molson's College in the rear of it. The Church is a neat building, and is the only Church in Montreal which has a clock in the tower. The College is a large, handsome quadrangular building, and is devoted to teaching and train- ing the youth of both sexes. The Rev. Alfred Stone, who is incumbent of the Church, is also Rector of the College, and under his superintendence are a number of teachers, male and female, by whom useful knowledge and accomplish- ments are imparted to the boys and girls committed to their charge. b 18 XOORS'^S HAND-BOOK OlT Tltff Notre Dame Stnset irouM be a mueli finer proraensde ifH •were all of one Tfittth, and that width considterabrj greater Ihan it is at present.

Gompain's Cosmopolitan Hotel stands also: on the same side. This Hotel has been recently fitted up, and is conducted on the European principle. It is large and well managed. Crossing the Square on the north side we enter Great Lt. James Street, wide and excellent, running ; from Place d'Armes to McGill Street. The buildings here are almost all built with stone, and there is much uniformity * in the structure of them. At the corner of St. Francis Xavier . Street is the Post Office, having entrances from both these > streets. It is a large and substantial building, fitted up in : the interior with pigeon-holes numbered, so that a persoai renting one of them obtains all his letters or newspapers, by merely mentioning the number of his box to a clerk in charge. At the other corners of St. Francis Xavier Street, is the Sa^ vings Bank and the Banque du P^uple^ while beside the Post : Office in Great St. James St. stands the Bank of British Norths America. The St. Lawrence Hall, under the management of Messrs. Hogan & Co. is directly opposite. This Hotel extends as far as Craig Street, the communication between the front and rear parts being by a covered archway across Fortifica- tion Lane. The St. Lawrence Hall is much frequented Nearer to McGill Street, on the other side, is the Ottawa Hotel, which is also a first class house, largely patronized. Mr. Samuel Browning is proprietor of this Hotel. The other buildings in this street are the Wesleyan Methodist Church with its fine front of the Grecian order of architecture ; it is capable of holding 3000 persons with comfort. The Me* - 22 y -RV.ri MOORE'S HAND-BOOK OP il*' .IT: "t^ chanic's Institute and the Mercantile Library Association almost face each other. Both are literary institutions, having a good selection of newspapers and magazines, and also a Library. Strangers are allowed admission, on entering their names in a book kept for that purpose. The entrance fees are comparatively small. The American Presbyterian Church stands at the western extremity of the street. It is a plain and modest building. Behind the Mercantile Library is Nordheimer's Music Hall handsomely decorated with alfresco painting. It is a fine hall, well worthy inspection. ;.w^ v/ Descending the ridge on the north side, we enter another fine large street called Craig Street. It commences at St. Antoine Street on the west and extends to Colborne Avenue on the east, running parallel with Notre Dame Street. For- merly Craig Street was the bed of a rivulet, but the stream has been converted into a sewer to carry off the waste water. Branching off from the north side of Craig Street, are a great many other streets rising up on the slopes of the mountain. The houses are almost entirely used as dwellings. St. Law- rence Street is the principal business street in this part, and is filled on either side with shops and stores. In the middle of this street stands the St. Lawrence Market. Not so large as either Bonsecours or St. Ann's Markets, it is still a great accommodation for the inhabitants. By way of St. Lawrence Street we go to the Mount Royal Cemetery, and also around the Mountain, sr •■■. '* 'f ^ fi^ ^ » - St. Antoine Street runs west from Craig Street into the suburbs, and the farther it goes, the more is taste displayed in the buildings, it being inhabited by many of the wealthier classes.

The side walks of the street are shaded from the sun \>j rows of IAA'^ pie trees, which give a cool and refreshing shelter from ibM^ heat of his rays. The buildings here are mostly elegant and^ there are one or two fine squares. Before the houses in many^ places there are little plots of garden ground, each fenced in'' with a railing, and filled with a variety of flowers to please ' the eye and delight the olfactory nerves with their agreeable* odour. Running parallel with St. Antoine Street, but far-* ther up the mountain side are Dorchester, St. Catherine and-^ Sherbrooke Streets, and several avenues and squares. This part of the city is the finest and of course the most aristo-' cratic. The same praise may be given to these streets fof" beauty and elegance which we have git^en to St. Antoine^ Street. They are in the city and yet in the country, and com*- ' bine all the pleasure of a rural residence with the comf6rts ' and conveniences of the town. Christ Church or the E|iis^' copalian Cathedral stands in Union Square. It is a beauti^ ful edifice in themedioeval Gothic, with its tall spire tapering'' upwards through the air. This Church is one of the finest among the many fine buildings in Montreal, and is excellently situated for the display of its fine proportions. It is indeed^ a model of ecclesiastical architecture, and when the grounds are all laid out and finished will command the attention aiat^ being a perfect gem. It is built in the cruciform style, and- is handsomely decorated within, as well as comfortably* seated, and contains a magnificent organ, built in England. ^ Among the other Churches in Montreal worthy of inspec- tion is St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church, corner of La-- gauchetiere and Alexander Streets which has a noble froiif of imposing appearance, and which, with its handsome ap ' roaches by broad stairs is a splendid model of ecclesiastic \ w hoore's hand-book of cal architecture. But one building which ought to be vi- Bited is the McGill College, situated at the side of Sher- brooke Street and University Avenue. This is a fine large institution, and besides lecture and other rooms, it contains residences for the Professors. It was built in accordance ^ith the terms of a bequest made by the Hon. James McGill Vho left a large sum of money for that purpose, which was increased by subscription till it sufficed for the purpose of endowing the college, with the aid of a grant from Govern- ' As we descend the mountain, McGill College stands on our left hand. Farther up the side is the Reservoir of the Montreal Water Works, constructed for the supply of the city. The water is drawn from the river, above t he village of Lachine, and is pumped up to the Reservoir by a power- ful waterwheel, which is kept in motion by the water it draws. The Reservoir is cut out on one side from the rock, and is divided into two compartments, capable of contain- ing fifteen millions of gallons of water. The elevation of the Reservoir above the city is so great, that the most of the fires are extinguished by the use of the Hose, without the force pumps being brought into requisition at all. In Sherbrooke Street, at the head of Bleury Street, are the Botanic and Zoological Gardens, under the management of Mr. J. E. Guilbault. The gardens are laid out with great taste, and form a pleasant recreation ground for the inha- bitants. These are well worth a visit All along the slopes of the Mountain are many fine edi- fices embowered among the trees ; in truth, one cannot pass along in any direction, without being struck with the eharming beauty of the scenery, while through the opening of the streets many views are gained of the magnificent St. MONTREAL, QITBBEO, AND OTTAWA. 9n THE OTTAWA HOTEL, lifC^ .^:c Great St. James Street^ Montreal. .:?ov .ii ■;-•.-■- : « i\u ,-.-, .- 1 n- t-\:\^ >•» T s The Proprietor of this well known Hotel takes ^his oppor- tunity of announcing to travellers, that extensive alterations and improvements having recently been made throughout the house, he is now prepared to accommodate, comfortably^ as large a number of visitors as any other first class Hotel in the City.

And now, having feasted our eyes on this side let us propose a drive around the Mountain. No sooner said than done, and here we are in a calecke traversing the long line of St. Lawrence Street, till after we pass the tollgate we turn aff to the left and ascend gradually the Mountain side, and the road takes us up to Mount Royal Cemetery, a large Necropolis tastefully laid out, having many fine tombs, and adorned with flowers and shrubs and winding walks. Beturnlng at a little distance down, a road branches out again on the left hand, and now we traverse along, while that portion of the Island which extends up the Ottawa opens to the view, with the Isle Jesus in the distance, and St. Anns at the junction of the two rivers. The country round looks rich and fertile, varied with trees and dotted with farms. Winding down the western side we arrive at the pretty little village of Cote des Neiges, lying in the bosom of the Mountain, and sheltered by its branching arms from the north and east. From the village there are two roads into Montreal, one around the base of the little Mountain as it is called, and one over the defile which separates the mountain proper from the one just mentioned. As the latter road ascends the eminence it curves to avoid too steep a grade and gradually we reach the summit, at which a toll- gate is placed. Here we are quite shut in on all sides, but watch 1 as our vehicle turns yonder corner ahead. There lies the city at our feet with its spires and houses and streets. There arise the two towers of the French Cathedral and yonder are the tall masts of many a gallant vessel which, after battling the breeze, now lies quietly at the wharf, and discharges the valuable cargo it has brought safely into 30 MCORE'S HAKD-BaoE OV Tf>\'f.i- port. Beyond is St. Helen's Island, and, to the right, the Victoria bridge trails its length across the river for nearly two miles. It is a distant view we are taking of it, and not from the most favorable position, so we will resume our downward progress by which we reach the city in safety. The Victoria Bridge is a wonderful triumph of human science and art over nature, and the obstacles it presents in the way of progress. To bridge a river nearly two miles wide and twenty five feet deep, with a current running in some places at the rate of eight miles an hour, it appears, at first sight, madness to think of it. But the madness was thought of, and planned, and built, and finished, and En- gland's heir apparent is coming out to sanction it, by formally opening the way through that Iron Tunnel. The Bridge is built upon twenty four piers of solid cut stone, strongly bound together, with abutments to fend ofif the large mass of floating ice which is carried down every spring by the current. Upon these piers are built iron tubes with their plates strongly rivetted together and as strongly fixed to the piers. The roof is covered with tin plates to protect the iron from the weather, and both in the iron and tin, sufficient Allowance is made for expansion and contraction. The En- gineers, who came out to examine it, before it was handed over to the Grand Trunk Railway Company, expressed their firm opinion as to its strength and solidity. There is a single track for the cars running through the centre, and two spa- cious side walks for the use of foot passengers. Seen from the river this structure has a fine appearance and seems to bid defiance to all the force the ice can bring against it. " Now we shall bid adieu to the fine city of Montreal and start on our journey for Canada's ancient capital, Quebec, the strongest fortress on this continent. - MONTBSAt, QtTBBEO, AND OTTAWA. 31 ^[L^aora KKDITil.' 3 MONTREAL, b- i i: r><^r^ > / DECKER^ BAILEY & CO.^ Proprietors ' ^ •i;2;f2q^ Is pleasantly situated at the head of ST.

At the south side of the Victoria Bridge, the railroad to Rouse's Point and the United States, effects a junction with the Grand Trunk at the village of St. Lambert.— The Rouse's Point road would take us south to the town of St. Johns, at the outlet of Lake Ghamplain, but as our will is, to descend the St. Lawrence, and not to cross the Line, we prefer sitting in the cars of the Grand Trunk. However, we may as well say, that on the Rouse's Point road, there is much interesting and varied scenery, of which the forest commands a large share. The same thing may be said of the most of the East- ern Townships, as the country undulates, and is varied by mountain scenery. The Richelieu, which takes its rise in Lake Ghamplain, and falls into the St. Lawrence at Sorel, is a very beautiful river, and the fine Lake Memphremagog, near which stands the town of Stanstead, is a magnificent sheet of water. Lake Memphremagog, although far surpas- sed in magnitude by those ^' inland seas" in Upper Canada, more than rivals them in the beauty of its scenery.

Immediately after crossing the bridgre, the road takes a quick turn, and enables us to obtain a fine view of the stately proportions of the structure, as well as of the river it spans ; while the stream turns and winds with many a curve, on its way to pay its tribute to the Father of Wa- ters, irrigating the fine alluvial country through which it flows, and imparting to it the joy of perpetual freshness and beauty. The scenery also changes, for there is the mountain of Belceil rearing its rocky and precipitous bulk upwards. The train passes close by its base and we can better estimate its vast proportions. There used to be a large gilt cross upon the top, but time and the seasons have done their work of destrnction, and it is in a state of complete dilapida- tion. Leaving the mountain, the scenery changes again to the same dull uninteresting level, till we come to St. Hyacinthe, a peculiarly French town, containing a popula- tion of about 5000. On we dash into the wild bush of tam- arac, brown ash, stunted fir, and wild birch, scaring the denizens of the forest with the coughing of our panting iron horse, and the thunder of the wheels of our cars, till by a gradual incline we reach the beautiful valley of the St, / MONIOEAIi, Q17EBS0, AND OTTAWA. 37 / HILL'S CIBCULATOTG LIBBAB7 Am) NEW AND SECONB HAND BOOK & STATIONERY STORE. ^ imm$.

Still we travel through the woods, and have time to yawn and stretch ourselves at the view of the dreary monotony of the country. But again we reach, and dash over, another iron bridge which spans the foamiag rapid of the Chaudi6re, whose waters boil and hiss, as they hurry to precipitate themselves over the Falls of the Chaudiere a little below. Shortly after, the whistle of the engine gives forth its warning, and the train stops at Point L6vi or South Quebec, and on the other side we see tht " grim feature" of the gigantic fortress. But to ciange our route, and with our route our mode of progress. Let us go down the river. Taking our passage by the Steamer, we pass down to Oustom-House Square and find our Boit lying alongside the wharf in front of it. Pas- sing on board, we cast loose, and slowly at first, we move along, steau and the current taking: us down ; but soon full speed is cet jn, and quickly we leave behind us the city of Montreal, \v^th its tinned roofs glittering in the beams of the evening mn, for the steamers start in the afternoon and sail all night'eaching Quebec in the morning. This arrange- ment is not suited to the pleasure seeker, as the night and darkness leprive him of a view of the banks ; but, after all, the loss is not great, as there is a sameness in the dull, flat, level couitry through which the river flows, and in the villages and famhouses, which at intervals dot its bankS| that when he his seen one part, he may take it for granted he has seen the wiole of the route. It will not be necessary therefore to do teuch more, than merely mention a few of the places we piss, at which the Steamer stops. The first ■St; 40 Si^i- uoobe's hand-book of of these is Soril or William HenbT| a prettj town with a population of about 3000. It is 45 miles below Mon- treal, and is situated at the junction of the River Richelieu with the St. Lawrence. The town contains several build- ings of good style, the principal of which are the English and Roman Catholic churches. Below Sorel about five miles, is the commeucement of Lake St. Peter, formed by the expansion of the river to the breadth of 9 miles, and extending to the length of 25 miles. The expansion is so great that the Lake is quite shallow, and till recently Tessels of upwards of 600 tons could not come tkrough. A new channel hrs however been discovered and deepened, and now vessels drawing Id feet of water ^n safely pass. This work has been done, at the original expense of the city of Montreal, and is proving of vast benefit, for the Ocean Steamers now come up easily, and discharge and load a great part of their cargoes. It was oving to the energy of the Hon. John Young that this great scheme was originated, and carried through to its present slate of pro- gress. Half-way between Montreal and Quebec, is the town of Threb Rivbrs, situated at the confiuonce of th( St. Maurice with the St. Lawrence. It is only here, that the waters of the Ottawa and the St. Lawrence may be said to have min- gled, — all the way down to this place, we cm easily notice the difference in the colour of the water on etch side of our vessel. Three Rivers is a well laid out towi, and has seve- ral fine buildings, as the Courthouse, the ^il, the Roman Catholic Church, the Ursuline Convent, andthe English and Wesleyan Churches.

Thoiisoiit. f:».k':» ' '.' ■ and we start from bed, and having performed the neces- sary matutinal exercises, we emerge from our cabin and pace the deck, for the scenery begins to open upon our view, and it is of a very different character from that we have been passing through for these last 100 miles. Here, the banks begin to rise up from the water, at first, in gentle undu- lations, '^nd then more boldly, till they end in high cliffs, which iro i upon the steamer as she hurries along beside them. '. bed of the river becomes narrower, and the water looks darker, by the shadow of the rocky promontories flung upon it. It does not need to be mentioned, for W8 have an instinctive conviction of the fact, that here com- menced the series of movements which ended in the capture of Quebec, by the immortal Wolfe, on the memorable 20 Sept- ember, 1*759. It was here he landed, and those rocks he, with his gallant little force, scaled, to meet, and fight, and conquer, the chivalrous Montcalm, and alas ! in the outburst- ing of his fame, and just as his glory was beginning to brighten, was he cut down in the prime of his years. Raise the stone on the spot where the hero breathed his last, and inscribe on it, the joy and the grief! " Here died Wolfe victo- rious." " Vietorious," there is the joy 1 " Here died Wolfe,' there is the grief! ' *' ^ ' ' Now we arrive safely at the quaint looking city of Quebec, struggling up the rocky side of the height, on which sits the fortress, extending a protecting arm over the irregular and wayward town. X0OBS*S HAND-BOOK OV Trajiyy as we step ashore, our first impressions of Quebec are not those derived from the yiew of an object capable of imparting pleasure. The Lower Town is built, apparently where the inhabitants thought thej could secure a position, )!7ithout regard to appearance, or to the wishes of their neighbours. The streets are steep and tortuous, twisting about, here and there, in the attempt to secure a passage through the French-looking houses, which, on their part, seem to manifest a strong desire to throw erery obstacle in the way, they possibly can. From the strong declivities which descend on every side, one would think that there was not much necessity for regulations, in promoting clean- liness, as the first heavy shower sends a flood from above which washes away all the filth that would otherwise accu- mulate, with the speed of a torrent. It does not require much rain to wash most of the streets of the Lower Town, but they soon get dirty again from the constant traffic which strives, and pushes, and winds its way along. The Lower Town is the mercantile part of Quebec, and extends along the shores, from the foot of the rocky height on which the fortress is built, to the River St. Gharles, where it joins with the St. Lawrence. In the busy months of summer, the streets are crowded, and it requires 4iome little manoeuvering, to pick our way along. Here are the stores, and offices, and ship building yards, and the wharves are all full of noise and bustle and " hurrying to and fro." But as we ascend the steep streets which lead to the Upper Town, our im- pressions undergo a change, till on arriving at the esplanade, we look around with wonder and delight. Still above us is the haughty keep, looking stern and grave, as a warrior ought, and below is the town we have left, in all its bustle, the Btatelj shi^ l^iog alongside the wharves, or sleeping at ,»^ ft ' I lHII*l I..

The Upper Town of Quebec is handsome and elegant, and forms a striking contrast to the Lower. The houses are generally tastefully built, and there are fine streets and gardens, ele- gantly laid out, extending to the foot of the glacis of the stronghold. By applying to the Town Major, we get a pass to allow us to see the fortifications, and slowly we wind our way up the steep ascent. Everything has regular and stiff military precision about it, and the strength of the works becomes more apparent the higher we ascend. The road we are travelling can be swept, by cannon placed for that purpose, and the guns show their iron mouths out of the embrasures of the battlements. The space occupied by the fortifications is about forty acres, and everything necessary for protection and safety has been done. There is abundance of military stores, and also of provisions, while water can be had from within the castle. Cape Diamond rises above the precipitous rock, and its guns com- mand the shipping, and also Point Levi ; and from one of the guns stationed here, is the proclamation of morning and evening made. It is a fearful height to look down from, and the appearance of everything is much diminished. It must be a terrible trial for the sentries who have to watch on a cold wiutsr'g night, wheoi lower down, th« thtrmomtWr 35 49 MOOBS'S HAND-BOOK OF ranges 30^ below zero. The whole of the spacious bnildings mast be seen to be duly appreciated, for description cannot give a proper idea of the strength of this towering stronghold. The view from Oape Diamond is a yerj fine one, being much more extended than the one from the es- planade, we have prerlouAlj described, but the features of the Bcenerj are the same. The fortress is of an irregular triangular shape, impreg- nable on two sides, while the third, facing the plains of Abraham, is stronglj fortified in a line of well armed ram- parts. Looking down from the battlements we gaze, with mingled feelings of gratitude and sorrow, on the field where the decisire battle was fought, one hundred years ago. Hear the lamented Warburton* as he describes, in eloquent language, the scene of the battle and the death of Wolfe. " For a few years, and for a great purpose, Bngland was giyen one of those men whose names light up the page of history ; he was humble and gentle as a child, graceful in person and manners ; raised by transcendent merit in early manhood, he had done high service at Minden and Louis- burg ; the purpose was accomplished, and the gift resumed at Quebec, when he was about thirty two years old. This was WoLFB ; to him was the expedition entrusted. << He took possession of the Island of Orleans, and occu- pied Point Levi with a detachment His prospects were not encouraging : the great stronghold frowned down upon him, from an almost inaccessible position bristling with guns, defended by Montcalm, with a superior force of a gallant army, and inhabited by a hostile population.

A part of the fleet lay above the town, the remainder in the North Channel, between the Islands of Orleans and Montmorenci ; each ebb tide floated dowafireships, but the sailors towed th«m ashore, and they proved harmless. I l.^.A k i " The plan which first suggested itself was, to attack by the side of Montmorenci, but this the brave Montcalm was prepared to meet. On the 31 July, a division of grenadiers landed below the falls ; some of the boats grounded on a shoal and caused great confusion ; so that arrangements, excellent in themselves, were in their result disastrous. The grenadiers, with an indiscreet ardor, advanced against the entrenchments, unformed and unsupported ; a steady and valliant defence drove them back ; a storm threatening, and the loss being already heavy, the general reembarked the troops with quiet regularity. The soldiers drooped under their reverse, but there was always one cheerful face, that of their leader ; nevertheless, inward care and labour wasted his weak frame ; he wrote to England sadly and despondingly, for the future was very dark, but he acted on an inspiration. His generals were brave men, and suggested daring plans ; he seized the boldest counsel, risked the great venture, and won. ^ . , ..f " On the night of the 12 September, the fleet approached the shore below the town, as if to force a landing. The troops embarked at one in the morning and ascended tho river three leagues, when they got into boats, and floated noiselessly down the stream, passing the sentries unobserved. Where they landed a steep narrow path wound up the side of the cliff, forming the rivers bank ; it was defended bravely against them, but in vain. When the sun rose, the army stood upon the plains of Abraham. 52 MOOBE^S HAND-BOOK OS* " Montcalm found he was worsted as a general, but It wad Btill left to him to fight as a soldier; his order of battle was promptly and skilfully made—the regular troops were his left, resting on the bank above the river, the gallant Cana- dian Seigneurs with their Provincials, supported by two regiments, formed his right; beyond these menacing the English left, were clouds of French and Indian skirimishers. " General Townshend met these with four regiments ; the Louisbourg Grenadiers formed the front of battle, to the right, resting on the cliff; and there also was "Wolfe, ex- horting them to be steady, and to reserve their discharge. The French attacked ; at forty paces they staggered under the fire, but repaid it well ; at length they slowly gave ground. As they fell back, the bayonet and claymore of the Highlanders broke their ranks, and drove them with great carnage into the town. ** ^-^- - r - » " At the first, Wolfe had been wounded in the wrist, another shot struck him in the body, but he dissembled his suffering, for his duty was not yet done. Again, a ball passed through his breast, and he sank. When they raised him from the ground, he tried with his faint hand to clear the death-mist from his eyes ; he could not see how the battle went, but the voice which fell upon his dying ear told him he was immortal. " There is a small monument on the place of his death, with the date, and this inscription : '* Here died Wolfe victo- rious." He was too precious to be left, even on the field of his glory. England, jealous of his ashes, laid them with his father's, near the town where he was born. The chivalrous Montcalm was also slain. In a lofty situation on Cape Diamond a pillar is erected " To the memory of two illust- rious men, Wolfe and Montcalm." yv l,^ '■ ■:/r*y«f ■i'>V'^^.ii) MONTREAL, QUEBEC, AND OTTAWA. 53 f .,*' A.

The news «f these events reached home but forty-eight hours later than the first discouraging despatch, and spread universal Joy for the great triumph, and sorrow for its price. Through- out broad England, were illuminations and songs of triumph, «icept in one country village ; for there Wolfe's widowed another mourned her only child." So tells the kind and gentle-hearted George Wai^lburtoJi lOie story of Quebec a century ago. Upon the heights of Abraham, Death claimed and got a noble prey:; Two heroes of great chivalry. Fought and died one glorious day. Wolfe, bravest in a nation brave ; ' ' Montcalm, the chivalrous and true; In bold attack, death seized on one, In bold defence, the other too. Tlaise high the stone, and let the tcroU, *" Wolfe died in victory's arms," now tell,; But of defeated glory too, Speak it, how noblest Montcalm fell, One died victorious, o'er his grave Each noble heart in sorrow weeps ; S)isa3ter seized Montcalm, but still, .Bad tears are falling where he sleeps.

Brave Wolfe, we mourn ihj early loss ; * We weep for thee^ most brave Montcalm j, We raise on high one monument^ Your noble memories to embalm. Let us turn away from the scene, and descend from the grim and stern keep,, which watches in gloomy dignity over the city. But it is not so easy to get out of the reach of mi- litary preparations, for at every step we take throughout the town, we find ourselves in presence of a wall, or can- non, or sentry, or a group of soldiers, while the proud Union Jack waves aloft on the rampart heights. There are several fine walks and drives out from the city, and much interesting and varied scenery, which those who delight in the beauties of Nature cannot fail to find much enjoyment in. And many pleasant coun- try excursions can be made, to places remarkable either for loveliness or for water-falls. All around the country there are very fine water-falls. We have already inci- dentally mentioned two, the Montmorenci and the Chau- di^re. The Falls of Montmorenci form a picturesque object^ when seen from the middle of the St. Lawrence, the white foaming water pouring itself sheer down a precipice 250 feet high, in one unbroken stream. They are about ten miles below Quebec ; and are both dur'ig the summer and[ winter, a favorite picnic scene for the inhabitants. And pleasant it is to drive out, and descend to the foot, and look at and listen to the water as it falls in monotonous cadence down from the height, and seems in haste to meet and mingle its waters with the larger stream ; and when the sunbeams glance upon th« white foaming mass, and light It up with X. .

On the south side, a few miles up the river, and a ghbrt distance in the country, brings us to the beautiful Falls of the Chaudi^re, which, although they cannot match those of Montmorenci in bulk of water or depth of fall, yet more than rival them in the romantic loveliness of their Bcenery. The height of the falls is about 100 feet, but the rocks overhang, so that the stream plunges in a zigzag course here and there, and half shrouded in spray, boils and whirls about in the strangest manner. It is this last pecu- liarity which has given the name to the Falls, the Chaudi^re or Boiling Pot, and the resemblance is strong. The water continues this dance near the Falls for sometime, and then hurries nway, as if ashamed of its madness, through a gorge between the hills, to the Saint Lawrence. Above, wherever there seemed to be room to grasp, mosses, lichens, and creep- ing plants have got hold, and hang over the cliffs in fantastic drapery, while firs, pines, and cedars, clustering down to the Tery edge of the stream, fill up the picture. Quebec is now the seat of Government, it having been removed from Toronto last winter, and is a very busy city when the Parliament is assembled, as it is at present. Spencer Wood, the residence of the Governor General, was a very pretty spot but unfortunately it was recently burned down. The Houses of Parliament, and indeed the most of the public buildings, are not characterized by much beauty or elegance. Plainness and substantiality have been more cultivated than taste. The Roman Catholic Cathedral is a large building, commodiously constructed, and capable of containing 4000 sitters. It is well fitted up inside, and has several fine old paintings, and a good organ. The English 60 MOORE S HAND-BOOK OP Cathedral has more pretensions to elegance, and is also pro- vided with a good organ. There are several other Churches such as the Scotch Presbyterian Chnrch, the Free Church or St. Johns, the Wesleyan Methodist, the Con- gregational and the Baptist. Quebec is well provided with Hotels, such as Russell's Hotel, in Palace Street, Upper Town, which is admirably conducted, both as regards accomodation, abundance, and comfort; the Clarendon House, St. Lewis Street, Upper Town, and Dexter's, pre most excellent Hotels. Point Levi or South Quebec, as it may be called, lies on the south side of the River on the top of a steep rocky ridge, forming the other side of the deep gorge through which the St Lawrence pours its flood. It would almost seem as if some grand convulsion of nature had rent asunder the rocks, and cast them on either side, to allow the stream to pass through. Point Levi is a prettily situated village, and is rapidly growing up into a business town, its increase being facilitated by the branch of the Grand Trunk Railway hav- ing its station here, and communicating along the South shore to Riviere du Loup. The Isle of Orleans lies in the middle of the river, and divides it into two, the north and south channels. — It is a pretty large island, being 19 miles long, by about five wide, and is very fertile. It has a population of about 6000. About 24 miles below Quebec on the north side of the St. Lawrence, in the midst of exquisite scenery, to which they add grace, are the Falls of Ann's, on the river of the same name. And the Lake St. Charles to the north of Quebec abounds in fine trout, and is much visited by the brethren of the gentle craft. -' / MONTREAL, QUEBEC, AND OTTAWA. 61 / 31 «flEAT ST.

And now we will leave Stadacon^ (what a pity the fine sounding Indian name was ever changed to Quebec !) and take a trip either by Steamer or Railroad to where the grand and majestic, but gloomy Saguenay pours, in sullen state- liness, his waters into the St. Lawrence. By the Eailway we are hurried along the southern shore, through a country yastly different from that we traversed in coming from Mon- treal to Quebec. The dull level fiats have changed into an undulating country, and to the southward and northward, and eastwards, magnificent mountain ranges extend as far as the eye can reach. Yonder are the hills from which the rivers of Maine take their source far away to the southward j on the northern side are the Laurentine Mountains, a gigantic assemblage, fronted and overtopped by Gape Arine and Cape Tourment, which are well fitted to be the leaders of such a giant army, rising as they do nearly two thousand feet above the tide. Onward we rush spanning mountain streams, and passing farm houses till the Hotel at Riviere du Loup, 114 miles below Quebec receives us. Or, we walk on board the fine Steamer Magnet, and soon as we get under weigh, open up the Falls of Montmorenci in the distance, and then skirting the shores of the Isle of Orleans, we hasten down on the bosom of the mighty River, and find ourselves in a labyrinth of smaller islands, which, all around, raise^ their green heads from the water, and bask in bright- ness and beauty in the sun. Threading our way through these spots of loveliness, we come abreast of the quarantine station, where all vessels are examined, to find out whether the passengers have brought any infectious disease across the deep. Here upwards of 6000 Irish immigrants were buried in one spot. The Island is very beautiful, with its village, and its neat little Church, which seem as if, by a wm 64 MOORE^S HAND-BOOK OV hard struggle, thej had at last gained standing room upon the unruly rocks. "We pass the Pillars, and now the stream is open, and with the exception of a distant Island standing alone, we see only the rocky shores of the St. Lawrence jutting out into headlands on either side, or retiring into bays, while, here and there, a brawling brook tumbles its puny tribute into the majestic stream, which receives it with uninterrupted composure. Now we pass River Quelle, Where there is a landing, on the south bank, and, on the opposite side, Malbaie, much frequented by the Stadaconians, for the invigorating effects of sea water bathing. All along our way downwards, the shores are studded with farm houses, which have a lively appearance, from being painted white. We reach Riviere du Loup, and the steamer lays alongside, to start again in the middle of the night, in order to reach the entrance of the Saguenay, at dawn the next morning. As the light breaks in the eastern sky we see Red Island rugged and bare, standing sentinel at the entrance of the River, while farther down, and nearer the shore we have left, is Green Island. Beyond Red Island rise two mountains whose summits recede from each other while their tawny sides seem striving to meet at the base, but never can, for between them the Saguenay, more than three hundred and fifty fathoms deep, rolls its dark waters, to stain with their sombre hue, the clear stream of the Saint Lawrence. The entrance to the River is comparatively narrow, but soon the banks, on either hand, retire and open up into a spacious basin. At the entrance, on the lower bank of the River, is the village of Tadoussac, a post of the Hudson's Bay Company, who have a resident here. The village is adorned by a little antique looking Church, said to be one of the most ancient on the continent.

There is also a salmon fishery at Tadoussac. The buildings of the Company comprise the Resident's house, and the stores^ and are surrounded by a railing. There is a fiagstat' in front^ flanked by two pieces of artillery. The rocky sterile island Vhlet^ separates Tadoussac from the Saguenay. Just within the entrance is the little Tillage of L'Ance d I'Eau, built upon the rocks. Passing along, we see the remarkable mountain Tdte de Bottle. Standing apart from its fellow rocks, it seems as if it were a solitary hermit, voluntarily withdrawn from their society. Rising sheer up more than 1000 feet, a solid mass of primitive granite, with its round head sometimes cloud-capped, and at others shewing its bald and bleak scalp, with here and there a few stunted pines, which contrive to gain a meagre subsistence from it, it is an object of wonder. And then, again, the rocks on either shore, tremen- dous masses, jut out their points or drawback their crevicesi, as if some giant hand had seized their tops and wrenching them asunder, had opened a deep gorge for the river to pass through, without caring to smooth down the marks of the rupture. Tall and gloomy, rising fifteen hundred to two thousand feet, rough, bare and precipitous, they spread an air of gloomy grandeur over the black and sluggish waters,which lazily trail their course along at their base. And the rent does not stop at the surface of the water but goes down, deep, deep down, fifty, sixty, or one hundred fathoms , so that the largest man-of-war could graze the rocks with her side and yet find abundance of water to float her, were she ten tlme!^ bigger than she is. The scene is magnificently stern, and it only needs a thunder storm to make it terribl'' ' Bublime, Then, the lurid clouds cap the summit* .r^'^. .->• .r 68 MOOBS'8 HAND>BOO|C 09 rocks, and half obscure tlie day, the stern cliffs grow grimmer and sterner still, and the water becomes of an inky black- ness. Suddenly, it is lit up by one grand gleam of lightning, and then the roar of the thunder awakens echoes, which like ten thousand bandogs startled from slumber, roar the thunder over again — one after the other, taking up the growling rever- beration, till the whole scene becomes, as it were, one great body of SOUL ], and then the rush, rushing of the rain, darting downwards with an angry hiss, completes the gloomy picture. Flash after flash, roar after roar, echoed and re-echoed as if the universal harmony of nature were rudely broken, and changed into one great mass of chaotic discord. Above, below, around, everywhere, the growling tumult is heard, till the stunned senses seem incapable of action, benumbed by the terrific clatter and clash which drive them into utter helplessness. And now, the storm has passed away, the angry clouds betake themselves to other regions, growling as they go, while back again, as if in defiance, the wrathful echoes reverberate the sound. The sun bursts forth and the rocks dry their wet flanks in his beams and all is peace again. But let us proceed upwards, and now we come to St. John's Bay on the south shore, where there is a village, mostly inhab- ited by lumberers. On our way up, we pass the Picture rocks or the Profiles, so called from the resemblance they bear to the human face. After we pass St. John's, about six miles, we come upon two magnificent crags, called Eternity Point and Gape Trinity, names suggested, doubtless, from the solid firm appearance of duration and uncbangeableness they bear. It is impossible to look upon the imposing grandeur of these peaks, standing stern and rigid, without deep emo- tioog of reverential fear and wonder.

Statue Point next meets our eye, so called from a Gothic niche in its side, eight hundred feet above the water, in which there use^l to be a figure haTingf some resem- blance to the human fcrm, but which has now crumbled away. Mysterious cavern, untrodden by human foot, un- ecanncd by human eye, it stands and will stand for ever. Then we pass a perpendicular rock rising to the height of nine hundred feet, called the Tableau. Gloomy grandeur has hitherto been the characteristic of the scenery, but now, without losing much of its grandeur, it has more of the picturesque and beautiful, as we enter Ha-Ha Bay, a splendid harbour, nine miles long, and six miles wide. Openings qf v^'^lleys are seen, with good arable land and abundance of trees, which give varied beauty to th« banks, and cause many exclamations of delighted wonder to escape involuntarily from our lips. About seventy milee from Tadoussae is Chicoutimi, where is another post of the Hudson's Bay Company, and where the Steamboat navigation ends. Fifty miles above is the Lake St. Johns, through which the Saguenay runs, not, as some works have it, from which it takes its source. The sources of the Saguenay are some smaller lakes a great distance inland. It is then called the Cbomouchouan and runs through Lake Miskou- askano or Great Lake, %ndL thence it flows in a winding stream into and through the Lake St. Johns to its outlet in the St. Lawrence. We bid farewell to the gloomy mysterious Saguenay, by quoting Mrs. Leprohon'a beautilul poenL.

But not to rest, for the Ottawa river, and city, invite us to view the beautiful scenery of the first, and the pictur- esque position of the latter. And here, again, we have a choice of routes. There is first, the Grand Trunk Railway, by which we can either catch a steamer at Ste. Anne's, and then ascend the river ; or go on to Prbsoott, and speed across the country direct to the city, by the Ottawa and Prescott Railway. But the best route, though we have mentioned it last, is to take the train to Lachine, and there stepping on board the steamer, sail up the river. By this last route we have a better opportunity of seeing the beauti- ful scenery of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers, as they first meet. It is bright morning, and the sun glances slant- ingly along the majestic waters, tinging with golden light the tips of the wavelets as they rise, one after the other, to greet his rays. A faint mist, like a delicate veil, spreads over the bosom of the river, on which one or two islets re- pose, as childhood sleeps on its mother's bosom, yet it does not conceal the enchanting beanty of the scene, but adds grace and loveliness to the charms, which it vainly strives to hide. 60 XOCmiE'S HANXK«OOS 09 tt is soon dissolyed, and the light breeze which has sprung HP, carries it all away. ^ Awaj we go, stemming the current, until in due time, we reach Ste. Anne's, where are a succession of rapids, which we avoid hy going through a lock, 45 feet wide and 180 feet long. More islets are here, round which the Ottawa bubbles and struggles in its course, while the pretty Tillage of Ste. Annes reposes in quiet beauty upon the bank. This Tillage is considered the starting point fbr the Ottawa BiTer, by all orthodox voyagtur$^ as the last ohmrch on the island of Montreal is situated here, and is, moreoTer, dedicated to their tutelary saint, from whom also the Tillage takes its name. Emerging from the canal, again we enter the Ottawa, haTing left the St. Lawrence far astern, and after sailing abouib two miles, we find the shores recede on either hand, to about eight miles wide, and this recession continues for a distance of ten miles, for we are in the Lake of the Two Mountains, 80 called from two mountains on the north side rising four jto fiTe hundred feet from the water. The river diTides here into two branches, that which we have just come up, another which diTerges towards the northeast, and forms the western boundary of the Island of Montreal. There is the Isle Jesus and beside it Pigeons Island, on which are the ruins of an In- dian Tillage. For the purpose of guarding against the in- cursions of the Indians, the French built a fort on the Island of Montreal, opposite to the Tillage, but both Tillage and fort haTe now fallen into decay, and large trees are grow-, ing inside the ruined walls of the latter. Here is also situ- ated the Indian Tillage of the Two Mountains, inhabited by the remnants of two tribes, the Mohawks and the Algon- quins, as the Tillage of Oaughnawaga, opposite to Lacbine, Is by a remnant of the Iroquois.

On the southern bank ia the mountain of Rigaud, where there is also a settlement of the same name. The river again contracts to the breadth of half a mile, and continues, sometimes broader sometimes as narrow, until at the end of eight miles we reach Carillon, and here again the navigation is impeded by rapids. However, human ingenuity has succeeded here as well as elsewhere in overcoming this difficulty, land a lock and canal carry us along for the dis- tance of twelve miles, when we again seek the stream. A railroad has also been formed between the two stretches of navigable water, and by it, as well as by the canal, we arrive ■ at Grenville, whence we proceed by steamer to Ottawa which we reach before daylight has faded into aa kness. Yonder is a raft of wood coming floating down, manned by hskTdy voyageun who have built their wooden hut upon the timber island they have made. Far, far, back, in the thick and dark woods, have they toiled through the inclemency of winter, gathering together the huge monarchs of the forest; far, far back,where the bears prowl, and the gaunt and hungry wolves " make night hideous " with their bowlings ; while the hardened snow has covered the ground many feet deep, and the frost spirit has " Bound the waters in icy chains By a spell unseen yet btrong " 84 MOORE S HANIVBOOK 07 and the cold is keen, catting, and piercing, such a cold as can only be felt when the thermometer ranges 30 ® or 40 ® be- low zero ; in this wild scene, in this severe season, thej hare toiled, felling the huge trees and fitting them for the market. And now, one by one they have launched the logs, and fastening them strongly together have committed them to the river to bear them down. They have sent them rushing crib after crib adown the slides, which have borne them along and plunged them again safely into the dark deep water. Refastened, and their hut rebuilt and their low masts with broad square sails all arranged, there Ihey go night and day, watching the floating treasure which serves them for a habitation, until they reach a market, where it is broken up and sold.

Beside ^he Grand FaAl there is also Little Ghaudiere on the northern side, and here a curious pheno* menon presents itself. The great portion of the waters which precipitate down the latter, find their way under- ground where none can trace their course. The following description quoted from Bouchette will give us some idea of the singular scene. He says, " The Little Chaudiere may without much difficulty be approached from the Lower Ca- nada shore, and the spectator, standing on a level with the top of the fall, and on the brink of the yawning gap into which the floods are headlong plunged, surreys the whole length of chute^ and the depths of the cavern. A consider- able portion of the waters of the falls necessarily escapes subterraneously, after their precipitation, as a much greater volume is impelled over the rock than finds a visible issue. Indeed this fact is not peculiar to the Little Chaudiere, but is one of those curious characters of this part of the Ottawa of which other singular instances are observed ; the waters in various places being swallowed by deep but narrow rents and fissures, leaving their natural bed almost dry, to dash on through some subterraneous passage that defies the search of the explorer. There are in the Falls of the Chaudiere materials for much geological speculation, and the mere admirer of nature's scenic wonders and magnificence will derive ir; 3h gratification and de'ight by the survey and con- templation of their manifold lieauties." On the northern bank, a slide has been made so that the timber can be sent from above to below the foaming waters without endanger- ing either it being broken by abrupt and rude collision with kindred logs below, or shattered upon the rock. These slides are frequent in the Upper Ottawa, the rocky state of the river necessitating their oonstruotion ; and they art ) J.:^^ moore'b hand-book op Hi admirably adapted, carrying down the logs of timber safely, and without any damage to preTent a sale in the market. But to return to the city. Ottawa is situated on the bold blufifs which form the south bank of the river. Like Quebec it is divided into Upper and Lower Towns ; although some make three divi- sions adding the Middle, and perhaps this last division has the advantage of being more correct. The Upper Town, as its name implies, occupies the highest part of the rocky banks, and the Middle and Lower Towns are contented with a less elevated position. The Bideau Canal joins the Ottawa River, through a gorge between the towns, by a succession of Locks. This Canal, connects the Ottawa with Kingston and Lake Ontario, through a series of Lakes and streams. It is 135 miles long and forms a triangle with the St. Lawrence and the Ottawa rivers. The Upper terminus is about 180 miles from Montreal while the lower is 120 miles. A handsome bridge spans the gorge and forms a connection between the towns. As a City, Ottawa has perhaps the most beautiful and picturesque situation of any in the Province. Built beside the magnificent Chau- diere, upon a rocky elevation, commanding a fine view of the surrounding country, as far as the eye can reach, it is almost equal to Quebec itself. The fine far-stretching campaign, opened up to a great extent by hardy settlers, who have cleared for themselves a home, and farm ; the villages nestling among the trees, the deep dark forests extending on either hand, as yet apparently untouched by the woodman's axe, and the magnificent river, all command by turns the delighted attention, and call forth unmingled exclamations of pleasure.

The Houses of Parliament are building now, the foundation stone haying- been laid a few weeks ago. When the Government remores to Ottawa, it will add greatly- to its attractions, as the magnificent range of buildings will fitly adorn the romantic site upon < which they stand. The County Buildings, one or two Banks, several good hotels, and Churches of various deno- minations are situated here. What the Rideau Canal does for Kingston, the Ottawa and Prescott Bailroad does for Prescott — forms a con- necting link with Ottawa city. This line is fifty-four miles in length, and connects at Prescott with the Grand Trunk Railway, and also, by means of a ferry with Ogdens- burgh on the United States shore, whence a railroad extends as far as New- York. From Ottawa, many very pleasant excursions can be made into the country, both by Stages and Steamboats, running to different parts, so that every facility is afforded for enjoy- ing to the utmost extent the romantic scenes which abound on every side. The only difficulty one has, is created by the want of time to go over the country thoroughly* , ^ ; , About 7 miles from the City on the lower side is the village of Plantagenet, celebrated for its mineral springs. It is a pretty little place, and like its neighbour the Cale- donia Springs is much frequented during the summer months. There is an Hotel here where good accommodation is afforded. The Gatineau River, springing from Lake Gatineau, near the sources of the St. Maurice (which latter river falls into the St. Lawrence at Three Rivers), a fine stream, flowing through a thickly wooded country, joins the Ottawa at Hull a little below the city. On the banks of the Gatineau River are situated the Mills of the same name. These Mills ■H» ly-lft'i 96 Moore's hand-book of ^' ■*■„ ■ It' '-Ta are very complete with all the necessary apparatus for sawing the timber and preparing it for the market, taking it in its rough state from the river, squaring it off, and then discharging it back again to be made up into cribs and float*^ ed down to the Ottawa, and thence to Montreal or Quebec. There is a good macadamised road from the City to Aylmer, where the navigation of the Upper Ottawa com- mences. Aylmer is situated at the outlet of Lake Ghau- diere, about nine miles from Ottawa. It is a prettily situa- ted little town of about 1000 inhabitants. From Aylmer there is water conveyance by means of steamers to Joachin about 150 miles above the city of Ottawa. In consequence, however, of the rapids, three steamers are employed, viz, one from Aylmer to Chats, one from Arnprior to Portage du Fort, and one from Portage du Fort to Joachin. These vessels are a great accommodation, but they are not sufficient for ♦he traffic ; for the extensive lumbering establishments on the Upper Ottawa have increased the trade so much that they are not capable of meeting its full requirements. Pembroke, about 100 miles from Ottawa City, is a rising place, forming as it does the terminus of the Brockville and Ottawa Railroad. This village is chosen as their residence, by some of the principal lumber merchants of the Ottawa River, and is excellently situated for that purpose, being as it is in the heart of the lumber country. It contains a popu- lation of about 800 inhabitants. ' - •' "i- «--^' Looking at the Ottawa altogether, it is perhaps one of the finest and most picturesque of all the rivers of Canada ; And when we consider that it drains a country of about 80,- 000 superficial miles, we cannot but think that many more years will not pass over, without a vast change for the bet- ter in the land.

Hard toil, there will, there must be, sufferings and privations, scanty and homely fare, loss of the comforts of cultivated life j but the future stands out bright and true, displaying the scroll with the simple legend written thereon. Prosperity. Already the project has been mooted, of a railroad or canal to connect Georgian Bay on Lake Huron, by way of the French River and Lake Nipissing with the Ottawa, and thus shorten the route to the Great West by several hundred miles. It may not be so soon, as some would wish, but it will be broached and talked of, and begun and completed ; and then it will be the shortest and most complete route that has ever been planned. The establishment of the seat of Govern- ment at Ottawa, will also, when it is carried into effect, tend to open up the country, and the increase will be great. But we will now take a glance at the Grand River, com- mencing with its sources 100 miles above Lake Temiscaming. And as we find it better done, than we can do, by Bouchette, who travelled up the River in 1832, and has given us a gra- phic description of its scenery, we will avail ourselves of his labours in the following quotation. " Issuing from Lake Temiscaming upwards of 350 miles northwest of its junction with the St. Lawrence, and having its remotest sources nearly 100 miles beyond that lake, the Ottawa river flows majestically through a fine and fair coun- try as yet in a state of nature, although, generally speaking, remarkably well adapted to the purposes of agriculture and 100 '^^ MOORE*S HAND-BOOK OP -^ settlement. From the Falls and Portage des Mlumettes dis- tant about 110 miles above Hull, the River becomes better known, as it is usually frequented thus far, by timber con- tractors, who derive their valuable supplies of timber from those remote districts of the Ottawa. The fur traders ex- tend their explorations considerably beyond this point, and a trading post, for that object, is established on the shores of Lake Temiscaming. " At the Allumettes the Ottawa is divided into two chan- nels J the one to the northwest, the other to the southwest of a large island, in length about 15 miles by an average breadth of four. The southerly channel expands below the falls and rapids of the Grand Allumettes to the width of three or four miles, and forms the Lake des Allumettes, at the head of which an arm of the river opens an entrance to the Mud and Muskrat Lakes ; the latter, by far the largest of the two, has a solitary settlement on its southern shores, the proprietor of which is an individual of the name of J<5hn Persons, whose thriving farm oflfers a fair exemplification of the fertility of the soil in that part of the Ottawa. Eight miles below the junction of these channels is situated the Hudson's Bay Company's Post of Fort Coulange, where one of the agents of the Company resides. ' / ^ ^^ ^^ ^^ - " Pour or five miles above Fort Coulange. the river again forms two channels, the extensive island by which they are separated extends in extreme length about 20 miles, and its average breadth is about seven. Neither channel is free from impediment to its navigation; but though rapids and falls are frequent in both, that lying to the north is the broad- est and most praticable, and the route invariably pursued by voyageurs.

" From the latter to the Portage du Sable^ on the north bank of the river, at the eastern extremity of the Island, is four miles. This portage is nearly twenty chains in length, and passes over a rising ground 25 or 30 ft. above the water's level. The cascades, which it avoids, do not exceed eight feet perpendicular height, but they are much broken and divided by rocky islets, and are extremely wild and romantic. • ^ " From these Cascades to the foot of the Chenaux. a dis- tance of 10 miles, the river is singularly diversified by numerous beautiful islands richly clad wi h trees of luxuriant foliage. Clustered in various parts of the river these island* divide it into as many channels, through which the watera are impelled with different degrees of violence, a<;cording to the narrowness to which their bed is contracted, and the obstructions they meet with in their rapid course. " The banks of tliis part of the river are composed of white marble which can be traced two or three mileg along the margin of the stream, and which appear to extend considerably in depth on either shore. The 8i)ecimenB taken from different parts of the quarry on the banks of the river were of a soft and coarse texture ; but there is reason to believe that upon further penetration a superior description of marble would be found, infinitely more durable and sus- ceptible of a higher polish.

This small settlement if already very much frequented in winter by traders and voyageurs, as a welcome asylum from the inclemency of the ,*.-.« iP weather. " At the foot of the Chenaux, opens to view the magnifi- cent lake which derives its name from the Rapides des Chats situated at its eastern extremity. In extreme length it is fifteen miles, and in mean breadth about one ; but its north- ern shore is deeply indented by several sweeping bays, by which extensive points are formed, sometimes contracting the lake to a width of scarcely one mile, whilst at others it h nearly three. The surface of the water is prettily studded with occasional islands, richly wooded, and so situated as to diversify most agreeably the natural beauties of the soft and sweet scenery of the lake. The calms of the Ottawa are peculiarly glassy and beautiful, and its waters are much esteemed for their softness. "In descending the Ottawa, it is interesting to bear in mind that upon our right we have Upper, and on our left Lower Canada ; hence comparisons may be instituted be- tween the settlements of one Province upon the banks of that magnificent river, with those of the other. The shores of Lake Des Chats are woody, and generally flat to the northward with a pebbly or rocky beach ; to the southward they are higher and in some parts even bold, attaining an elevation of 80 to 100 feet.

The lake is here one mile in width, and opposite is the Clarendon Landing. No settlement on the Clarendon shore can be discovered from the Lake, as the colony of emigrants located there in 1829-30 are in the third, fourth, fifth and remoter concessions ; but in the front of Bristol, one or two wretched hovels are dis- cernible on the margin of the lake. Kinnel Lodge, the re- sidence of the Highland Chieftain Macnab, is beautifully situated on the southern bank of the lake, about four or five miles above the head of the Chats Rapids. A short distance east of Kinnel Lodge is the mouth of the Madawaska river ; and nearly opposite, apparently a speck on the margin, is the miserable habitation of a bois brulS, one of that class of people known under the denomination of squatters. This is the broadest part of the lake ; but about a mile lower down it contracts abruptly from the southward; by the interven- tion of Government Island, between which and the north shore, dash in swift and violent eddies the Rapides^des Chats, These rapids are three miles long, and pass amidst a labyrinth of varied islands, until the w iters are suddenly precipitated over the Falls of the Chats, which are from sixteen to twenty feet in height. There are fifteen or sixteen falls on a curved line across the riv«r, regularly divided by woody islands, over one of which is effected the portage in passing from the top to the bottom of the Falls. Thence to Mondion's point in Onslow is but a short distance ; and here is seen one of the original northwest-posts, established on the Ottawa, at the most flourishing period of the Hudson Bay Company's existence. The dwelling house and store bear evidence of their antiquity, from the dilapidated state they are in, and f — .,. 108 irOORS's HAND-BOOK 09 'mi the soil is too poor about the point to invite the resident agent to the culture of the farms. * i^ h *^ i " From the foot of the Chats to the head of Lake Chau- diere is computed to be six miles. Here a presquHle from the northward of an island, called the Six Mile Island, con- tracts the channel, which is very shoal : and half a mile be- low the island are the settlements of Bolus and Yignola, in the Township of Onslow. ■^- "* ''■-'-- ' ' ' ' " Lake Chaudiere that now opens before, has the advan- tage of the Lac des Chats in magnitude : but its views are less diversified by jutting points and picturesque islands. Both contain a sufficient depth of channel to float boats drawing from four to eight feet of water ; and it is to be hoped that ere long the benefits of steam navigation will be extended to this interesting portion, as successfully, as h has been below Hull. Lake Chaudiere is 18 miles long by an extreme breadth of five miles. The shores to the north in- crease in boldness and elevation in approaching Hull ; to the southward they are, generally speaking, more bold and elevated, and much better settled. At the southeast end of the lake rapids again impede the navigation and continue successively from the head of Rapides des Chenes to the Chaudiere Falls." ^?

Of course there have been many alterations and improve- ments since then, hamlets, and villages, and towns rising up in all directions, and Bytowu itself, formerly only a collec- tion of huts has grown to be a city of so much importance as to be selected for the Seat of Government of the two Provinces under the designation of Ottawa City.

He may furnish goods of the best description, and yet utterly fail of his purpose, unless he bring them conspicuously before the notice of others. Next to furnishing good articles at a mode^ rate price, the secret of success is in their being judiciously and thoroughly advertised. The mere signboard is insufll- cient for the purpose ; it suffices only to attract the resident in the neighbourhood, or the casual passer-by. The trades- man must widen his sphfci'e of influence by carrying the knowledge of his business far and near; and thus procures, market, where, without the aid of advertisement^ his wares would never have been known. THB WISE MAN OF BUSINESS WILL NOT ALLOW HIS PBIKT8B TO REMAIN IDLE. By making a judicious use of the handbill, the circular the prospectus, the pamphlet catalogue, and the Newspaper he will succeed, at all times, in keeping his business before 114 KOORS'^B HAND-BOOK OF the public. While* be i» attending to the wants of the ru»- iomer^ through such agency ^^ he is soliciting the custom of m thousaDd others. One of the most successful business nen ef the day states, tha/t he owes a large fortune to the nnli- »ited use of "printers' ink." The tradesman, the inYcntor, the manufacturer,, and others,^^ will fiad it not only raluable but indispensable ; such men would be as- likely to sueeeed without energy and indiistryy as without a liberal and judi- cious em^ployment of the means to n^ke their prodiictions or professioa known*. I>emosthenes is said to hare asserted that three things were essential to the success of the public orator^ Tizr " Action f Aetiont Aettoa!" and it certainly may, with e^ual if not greater trutb,. be said of business sue- eess, that the three things most essential to its attainment ase '^ to advei tiae I to advertise I to advertise I ^ ADVBBTISING LAYS THB FOU]Sn>ATION OF OOMMBKCIAl BUOVESa, Advertismg lays^ the fixumlatioii of commercial success- Provided the article is in? request,, and a reasoniU^le profit can be made cm the prices- advertised, the advertisement cannot f&ji of its object. The successful tradesmen are ever found to be the largest advertisers. The sbowcard and the posting bill, as well as the newspaper^ will invariably tell yg^o are doing the mK>st extensive business^ While many large houses owe their very eidstence to the publicity secured by this means, all tradesmen require more or less of »ucb publicity, if they wish to extend, or even to sustain their b(U8ii]kess in this time of universal competition, r ^4 n.* * W-S.

The oft told tale of " wondrous cures," and " matchless opportunity " will fall unheeded upon the careless ear ; old forms of appeal will be passed, and the accustomed resorts will be neglected for others of greater novelty and interest. Old claims to support may indeed be urged ; but it must be shown that success in the past has not produced indifference to the ever varying requirements of a changeful public. It may be evi- dent that it is an old friend who solicits notice, but it should be an old friend with a new face — or younger aspirants for favor will undoubtedly secure the largest share of patronage. New inventions, or at least fresh and novel recitals of the claims of the old, should ever be sought for by him who would be a successful aspirant for the support of the public. Hence the necessity for judicious changes and continuous variety ; and hence, also, the value of a practised and intel- ligent printer and advertising agent, who can suggest aa well as execute, and to whom a hint will be sufficient to en- sure a fulfilment, of the wishes of his customers. \ > MODES OF ADVERTISING. One of the best modes of advertising is by the pamphlet. Its portability insures its preservation, and it enables the advertiser to give a detailed list of the articles he has on sale, and their various qualities a!:d different prices. The handbill is frequently thrown aside without effecting the purpose intended, while the book claims consideration and gains permanent notice. By judicious typographical ar- rangement, and by the introduction of illustrations either of the articles for sale, or of the premises in which they are gold,— the pamphlet is made both attractive and readable, MONTREAL, QTJEB IC, AND OTTAWA, 119 r **• So. 34 DOBCHESTEB ST., HOBTSEAL, C.
