The Island of Montreal, upon which the largest and moat
populous city of Canada is built, lies at the mouth of the
Ottawa River, at its junction with the St. Lawrence.
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

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

Square, fronting which is the wharf of the Quebec Steamers*
In Customhouse Square is the Montreal House, an excel-
lent Hotel, much used by Americans traveling in the Sum*
mer months. 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

Office, also a fine building, but having the same disadyan-
tage in point of position.
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. The monument

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

Retracing our steps a short distance, we turn down a cross

military parade ; and here a^do the huBtings^ are' erected for

The Chanmp de Mara is about 500 yards long and lOt) broad,
and is bordered on one side by a fi'ne line of Foprsnr trees,
and on the other by tree? of different specie?. It is right at

Plantagenet, a small place in the direction of Ottawa, and i
is sold for three coppers a glass. In the depot a good supply
of papers is kept, so that, in the words of an advertisement i
the visitor is at liberty ^' to strengthen the mind and body at :
the same time." 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* -

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. At the west end it comes very close to a precipitous
rock which rises up between it and Sherbrooke Street. There

of fine fruit trees, which bear excellent apples. 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.

Lawrence rolling along its tide in solemn dignity to the
ocean.
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

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. -

Having bid adieu to Montreal, here we are in the cars driving
along behind the snorting, puffing Steam Engine '^ thorough
bush, thorough briar," on our downward journey. 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. Th«

bold blunt outlines of the mountains, the varied hues of the
foliage which creeps up their sides, the long deep gorges,

But to return to our journey, — starting from St. Lambert,
in a short time we arrive at Longueil and pass through a
dead level country, excellently suited for farming, but with
nothing to interest the eye of the Tourist in the uniformity
of its tame surface, till we come to a fine iron bridge across
the Richelieu. 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

Francis, a quiet and gentle stream, which flows noiselessly
onwards ; and shortly afterwards we arrive at Richmond
Junction, where the branch line from Quebec connects with
the main line to Portland. 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

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. It is one of the oldest tettled towns in
the Province, having been founded in the yetr 1618. It has
a population of about 5,500» The last pla;e at which tho

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

their anchors, and, on the other side, the bold promontory of
Point Levi, while down the broad and deep River, the fine
island of Orleans divides the channel, and to our left the
St. Charles discharges Its volume of waters into the larger
stream, and still further down on the same side, the road
which leads across the Montmorenci, a short distance
before it throws itse^^ i* the St. Lawrence '^vct a precipice
250 feet high, while biie L .1 blufif banks, au^ the mountains
in the background, ably complete the picture. 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

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. Above tha
city, steep banks rendered landing almost impossible \ below,

the countrj, for eight miles, was embarrassed hj two rivers,
many redoubts, and the watchful Indians. 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."

^' Five days after the battle, Quebec surrendered, on suck
terms as generous victors give to gallant foes. 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.
History lifts her voice aloud,
And claims for each the silent tear:
For victor, vanquished, whose blool
JPoured for the cause to honor dear.

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

prismatic glory, we feel all the sublime beauty of the scene
absorbing our senses in one mingled feeling of wonder and
delight. 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.

TESTIMONIALS,
We are fully satisfied that, all things considered, the
WHEELER & WILSON is by far the best Sewing Machine
now before the "pviblic— Montreal Gazette.
I have now had my Machine long enough to speak of its
merits, and am free to acknowledge I find it MUCH BETTER
than I expected, and instead of feeling that they are too highly
r jommended, am surprised that so little is said about them.
lb keeps in perfect order, and does ALL KINDS of work,
ENTIRELY to my satislaction. Two of my neighbors, who
have the S. & G. on trial, tell me they shall return them and
get the Wheeler & Wilson.

MONTREAL, QXTEBEO^ AND OTTAWA.
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

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. It is a small

building, suited to the size of the congregation who worship
in it. 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'' '

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. These are fitting

cmMems of eternity, while we feeble mortals pass away and
are forgotten. 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.

Le&ving the romantib ^b6netjr 6f Quebec and the Rive*
Saguenay, \7e retrace our route^ and reach Montreal again in
safety. 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.

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. A Roman Oatholic Ohuroh

IpROM a Recent Examination of the Books and Policies of this
' Society, by two of the most experienced Actuaries in London,
the lar^e sum of $460)0009 appears as a surplus fund at the credit
of the Society, alter niukiiig ample allowance for re-insurin(( their
risks, Proprietors Capitals, &c. Jto. This result Is arrived at from
ostimating the Societies investments at 6 per cent, which th^ are fully
warranted in assuming as a basis for their calculations. ; ^
Since these valuations were made in England, they have been veri-
fied in Am<^rica, by Prot^ssor Pierce of Harx'ard College, Massachusettf*,
and there is f^'ood reason to anticipate a still more favourable statement
from the success of the past year's business.

dirides the settlements^ as the people are all baptized into
thiit Church. Three or four chapels stand on the moun*
tain side. The highest peak of the mountain is called Gal-
vary and on certain religious fetes of the Ghurcl) it ia
frequented by both white and Indian. At the head of the Lake
of the Two Mountains the banks contract, so that the rirer
is not more than half a mile in width, and it continues thus
narrow, for abouc a mile, when there is again an expansion,
for the length of nine miles, forming the Upper Lake of the
< Two Mountains. 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

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. Hardy, daring fellows are the voyftL'
geuTM^ simple and kind withal. Though their manners are
homely their hearts are warm. Heaven speed them down
the rapids to a safe arrival and a profitable sale of their hard
^ earned produce. ^'^^^^^^^ ^^^ x j^iio.. *5i^ .
Both from Grenville and Carillon and halfway between
them are roads leading back into the mountains, for the great
range commencing at Labrador and uniting with the Rocky
Mountains, runs through this country. The interior of this
region is dotted every where with small lakes, which here
and there form variety to the scenery. In the Township
of Wentworth alone, there are upwards of sixty, plentifully
stocked With red and grey trout, inviting the disciple of
Isaac Walton to pursue his favourite amusement. Lake
Louisa, or AbbotVs Lake, is perhaps most worthy of notice
among them all, especially as it is more accessible than
any. It is a beautiful sheet of water, clear as crystal,
BO that at the depth of twenty feet, the pebbles which shew
the bottom may be counted. It is surrounded by rocks and

is obtained. 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

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 City itself is well built,
and the elevations of the ground have been taken advan*

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

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. Clearances effected, and comfortable farms

and dwellings etected, on a soil abundantly fertile, with
still a background of unlimited forest for the successful
prosecution of the lumber trade, when we look at all these,
facts, the conclusion to which we must inevitably come, is,
that Prosperity is written in legible characters upon the
broad expanse of country stretching around us. 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

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. The first and longest carrying place, des-
e«ncltDg from tb« fort, is iko Qrand Calum^t^ twenty-ont

miles below it ; here the river penetrates a ridge of high and
broken mountains, and forms a succession of cascades, vary-
ing from six to ten feet in height, at the foot of which the
current resumes its gentleness to the Portage d^jlrgi&f one
mile above the Portage de la Moniagne.
" 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. Four or five hundred yardi

clearing, and an area of one or two acres in culture This
romantic and interesting little spot is situated at the foot of
the Rapids du Forty and agreeably relieves the eye from the
monotony of sarage nature, whose characters, however
beautiful or grand, are often gloomy. This small settlement
if already very much frequented in winter by traders and
voyageurs, as a welcome asylum from the inclemency of the

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^ first settlement presenting
itself, in passing down this lake, is a comfortable frame dwel-
ling house and rural appendages on the south shore \ and

four miles lower dowii, oa the same side, is the honse and
farm of one Andrews, settled in the Township of Horton, at
the mouth of the River Bonne Chere. 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

" 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." ^? S^ ^'^^ '^ .MHHiH; IJ.»rtMJIf
The description of Bouchette's in the year 1832, is the
best we have seen, of the fine scenery of the Ottawa river.
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. May im-

TO BUSINESS MEN^
It is a fact which cannot be denied, that the advertisement
lias become a necessity to the successful conduct of business*
formerly, the customer sought out his tradesman, but in the
present day, the tradesman not only manufactures his goods,
but introduces them to the notice of the public. 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

not be made a substitute for originality. 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,
