We can sympathize with the emotions which would fill the mind of the explorer, as he gazed around on " the beautiful panorama of thirty leagues radius, that stretched out of the view from the eastern promontory of the mountain;" and yet we cJ^nnot suppress a feeling of pity, as we think of the fate of those simple yet valiant sons of the forest,, who gathered round Cartier, as if before a superior being, and whose race has been so sternly driven back by the steady advance of civiliza- tion. But we may not pause upon this subject, and so we ask our visitors and citizens to recognise, if they can, the features of the follow- ing picture of ancient Montreal, in the substantial stone and brick of our modem architecture : — " The way to the village was through large fields of Indian com. " Its outline was circular ; and it was encompassed by three separate " rows of palisades, or rather picket fences, one within the other, well " secured and put together. A single entrance was left in this rude " fortification, but guarded with pikes and stakes, and every precaution " taken against siege or attack. The cabins or lodges of the inhabi- " tants, about fifty in number, were constructed in the form of a tunnel, " each fifty feet in length by fifteen in breadth. They were formed of " wood covered with bark. Above the doors of the houses as well as " along the outer rows of the palisades, ran a gallery ascended by ladders^ "where stones and other missiles were ranged in order for the defence- 10 ■*' of the place. Each house contained several chambers, and the whole ■" were arranged so as to enclose an open court yard, whore the fire was ■*' made." Again we pass on over 200 years, with all their whirl of excitiirg events; and in 1760, the date of British possession, we find Montreal a well peopled town, *« of an oblong form, surrounded by a wall flanked " with eleven redoubts, which served instead of bastions. The ditch " was about eight feet deep and of a proportionable breadth, but dry • " it had also a fort or citadel, the batteries of which commanded the " streets of the town from one end to the other." Coming to more modem dates, we find that though the city was increasing in population, and augmenting its trade ; yet a New York writer, some forty-five years ago, thus characterized Montreal : — " The •" approach to Montreal conveyed ne prepossessing idea of the enterprise •" of its municipality ; ships, brigs and steamboats lay on the margin of -" the river at the foot of a hill. No long line of whar , iS built of the ■^* aubstantial free stone, of which there is abundance in the neighbour- " hood, afibrded security to vessels and owners ; the commercial haven -" looked as ragged and as muddy as the shores of New Nederland when " the Guedevrow first made her appearance off the Battery." McGregor, too, in his British America, a work of not very ancient date, thus described Montreal : — " Betwixt the Royal Mountain and the " River, on a ridge of gentle elevation, stands the town. * * * * -" There are no wharves at Montreal, and the ships and steamers lie "quietly in pretty deep water, close to the clayey and generally filthy -" bank of the city." Such then was our city in times bygone. In the days of our fathers, no stately steam-ships ferried us across the Atlantic, no floating palaces •conveyed us safely, speedily, and securely up and down our noble St. Lawrence, and across, as the " Times" has fitly termed it, " that mag- -nificent series of inland seas, the high road from Europe to the North -American continent." Then, no great chain of railway linked town to town, and city to city, almort annihilating distance. Then, the journey to Detroit was a toilsome matter of several weeks ; and that to Brcok- ville, short even as is the distance, occupied, with heavy cumbrous hatteanx, three weeks. Now how changed ! ''^he wand of some fairy Icing has surely been here. No I but industry, intelligence, labour, -capital, all combined, and working for the advancement of this rising 11 colony, have produced the marvellous changes which meet us or eve*^ hand. This, the largest and most populous city in British North America, And the commercial capital of the Province, was founded in 1642, under the nam« of " Vill«-Marie," ncur the site of the Indian village of " Hochclaga." Th« name was afterwards changed to " Mount Royal," from the mountain which overlooks the city. It is situated on an island bearing the same name, in the combined embrace of the Ottawa and St. Lawrence, — which latter river at this point is upwards of a ruJle and a half wide. — 180 miles S. W. of Quebec, 420 miles N. of New York, and about 800 miles from the sea. It possesses, partly from its latitude, and partly from the great area of water with which it is sur- rounded, a mildness and softness of climate unknown to any other part of the Province of Quebec, is the largest island in Canada, being 32 miles long and 10^ miles wide, and is considered the garden of the Lower Provinces. Its area is 197 square miles. The soil is in most parts excellent, and produces nearly every kind of grain, fruit, and vegetable iu perfection. The surface is level, with the exception of the mountain near the city ; it is, however, diversified by several gentle ridges, having a tendency from N. E. to S. W., which are designated cotcaux. The main branch of the Ottawa, which is the lumber high- way to Quebec, passes North of the island, and enters the St. Lawrenr j about 18 miles below the city ; about one-third of its waters are, how- ever, discharged into Lake St. Louis, and joining but not mingling at Caughnawaga, the two distinct bodies pass over the Sault St. Louis and the Lachine Rapids — the dark waters of the Ottawa washing the quays of the city of Montreal, while tbe blue St. Lawrence laves the opposite shore. Nor do they merge their distinctive character until they are several miles below the city. The quays of Montreal are unsurpassed by those of any city in America ; built of solid limestone, and uniting with the locks and c it stone wharves of the Lachine Canal, they pre- sent for several miles a display of masonry which has few parallels. Unlike the levees of the Ohio and Mississippi, no unsightly warehouses disfit^re the river side. A broad terrace, faced with gray limestone, the parapet of which is surmounted by a substantial iron railing, divides the city from the river throughout its whole extent. In the summer months the scene on the harbour is full of life and interest. There arc ^ver one hundred and fifty-six miles of streets and lanes iu the city. -IB ■J; Jo i PUBLISHERS LITHOGRAPHERS 8f ENL'RA| 12 Of these, a large number are watered daily during the summer months. In the rear of the city, running parallel to the river, at the distance of about 'i mile and a half from the water's edge, rises a long ridge of rocky and precipitous hill, some 700 feet in height, from which was derived the original name of the city, " Mount Royal." The summit of this mountain commands a view, extensive and diversified, of the city, with its towers, and spivcs, and public buildings, and a vast sweep of the surrounding country. In mid-river lies the umbrageous island of St. Helens — half park, half arsenal, glistening in the morning sun like an emerald set in gold. The St. Lawrence, a mile and a half wide at the narrowi'st point, extends east and west as far as the eye can reach, covered with ships fresh from the ocean, and by steamers numberless, leaving on the wind their marky trail. In mid-landscape, that archi- tectural marvel, the Victoria Bridge, spans the river, in all its strength and beauty ; and the ear can detect the roar of each passing train which rushes through its iron ribs. Beyond, the rail-tracks wind through a champaign country, settled for two centuries, where farm dwellings and buildings line the roads like streets, — rich in population and rustic wealth ; while in the distance the twin mountains of Beloeil and Mon- tarville, sights even more picturesque than their names are musical, rise- from the plain, like isles of beauty amid a sea of verdure. But the eye can hardly tear itself from the scene of cultivation close around. The slopes of the mountain, and the rich alluvial soil at its foot, are one entire garden. Villas and pleasure-grouuds cover the hill-side. A beautiful reservoir, cleft out of the rock, glitters in the sunlight with all the formal beauty of a pay sage by Watteau. The costumes and gay colours of the present day heighten the allusion, and impart health and freshness to the city spread beneath. In the distant valleys, the agri- cultural skill of the English farmer combines with old French minute- ness and precision to create a scene " Ever changing, ever new : When will the landscape tiro the view? The fountain's Ml ; the river's flow ; The woody valley, warm and low ; The windy summit, wild and high^ Roughly reaching to the sky ; The pleasant seat ; the ruinad tower ; The naked rook ; the shady bower ; The town — the village — dome — and far Each gives to cKch a double charm — Like pearls upon an Ethiop's arm." 13 But the spectator from the hill-top, or the frequenter of St. James Street, or of the Rue Notre Dame, must not suppose that in 1812, the year of the war with the United States, things were as they now are. Not for twenty-five years after, did a civic government provide for the wants of advancing civilization : not for twenty-five years did gas-lights or pavements, or hydrants exist. The long line of banks and stately edifices which now adorn St. James Street, rise from an abandoned graveyard, which in 1812 was bounded by the crumbling city defences. Fortification Lane was the foot of the town wall ; Craig Street was the town ditch ; beyond, on the upland, were country houses and orchards. In the same year, Notre Dame Street, now flashing with plate glass and the piled stores of jewellery and brocade, was a narrow street, of low, cosy Canadian houses, one storey and a half high — the sancta of much genial grace and of unbounded hospitality. The noctunial reveller — and there was a good deal of revelry in those days — who slipped oif the disjointed stones, mis-called trottoirs, plunged mid-leg in the mud, in the palpable darkness, without hope of refuge in a "street railway-car, or of help from a sleepy policeman. The old Catholic parish church, which in early days gave a Catholic welcome to the churchlcss Protestant con- gregation, stood lengthwise in front of the site of the present noble church of Notre Dame — grand in design, though somewhat marred by a too great severity of style. Those splendid wharves faced with miles of cut stone, unequalled in America, and rivalled only in Europe by the docks of Liverpool, or the quays of St. Petersburg, have replaced a nauseous bank, heaped with filth and garbage, a muddy islet, the rccpp tacle of driftwood and drowned animals, and a turbid stream, from whence the strongest swimmer never rose. Montreal of the present day, with its palatial residences, — its places of public resort, — markets, nu- merous, convenient, and ornamental, — with its cathedrals, churches, colleges, convCM-ia, — with its multiplied institutions and social improve- ments. — with a population of over 130,000 souls, is as superior to the Montreal of 1840 as the Montreal of 1840 was in advance of the Mon- treal of 1812, yet at that time it was the commercial heart of Canada ; the fountain of supply ; the focus of mercantile energy and wealth ; and was regarded as the grand end and aim — thf promised prize of Ameri- can conquest. It was favourably situated for intercourse with the Upper Province, New York and Boston, being at the head of the ordi- nary navigation of the Atlantic, and at the foot of \q grand chain of 14 ci mils, which connect the great lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron and Superior with the river and the ocean. It is also connected by railroad and ■teamboat with all parts of Canada and the United States. Montreal is the port at which arrives the great bulk of the importa- tions from Great Britain and other places abroad, which are there either re-sold or transhipped to all parts of the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec and the United States. A large wholesale and manufocturing trade is carried on in Montreal ' in all descriptions of goodo ; the manufacture of boots and shoes parti- cularly has risen to a great prominence, and many persons engaged in the business have rapidly acquired wealth. The wholesale trade is in the hands of some ten or a dozen houses. The amount of capital in- vested in all the works is over $750,000, and the number of boots and shoes of all kinds manufactured, average upwards of 9,000,000 from each factory. This branch of trade gives constant employment to over 1,500 persons, many of whom, of course, are women and children. The city and suburbs are lighted with gas, and many of the principal streets paved w.th stone. From whichever side approached, Montreal and its vicinity — the wood-clad " Mount Royal " forming a magnificent background, with its numsrous beautiful villas, orchards, and delightfui drives, jts grand spires and lofty towers — present to the view of the beholder a vast, picturesque, and grand panorama. Montreal also abounds in societies and institutions, national, benevo^ lent, literary, and scientific, the most important of which vill be noticed further on in their proper places. The population of Montreal is a very trustworthy remembrancer of its varied history, being composed of the descendants of the ancient lords of the soil and their British successors, in proportions which are every year becoming more nearly equal. The press of Montreal is also an index to its twofold inhabitants. There are in the two languages about 30 publications of various kinds. ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH— See page 17. PUBLIC BUILDINGS, SQUARES, &o. ■ -xicB ecee B p en ' ALEXANDER STREET (see St. Alexander) BEAVER HALL HILL. ZiON Church (Congregational). At the corner of Latour street. This church, which was not long since almost totally destroyed by fire, has been re-erected. It is a neat building in the Doric style of archi- tecture ; is estimated to seat 1,250 persona comfortably. It has lately been much enlarged by an addition in rear, consisting of Vestry and Committee rooms, and accommodation for the " Congregational Col- lege," which has been removed from Kingston, Ont. Rev. Henry Wilkes, D.D., pastor. Baptist Church (First). On the corner of Lagauchetiere street. A now and rather pleasing looking building, of a Gothic style ; will accommodate about 750 persons. Rev. John Alexander, minister. St. Andrew's Church ("C. of S.). This church, which was nearly dem. Hshed by fire in the Fall of 1869, but has since been rebuilt, is a beautiful specimen of the Gothic style of architecture ; is an ornament to the city, and is worthy to be called an ecclesiastical structure. The tower and spire are good, the mouldings are bold and well cut, and the windows in keeping. The interior is well arranged and handsomely fitted up, and will accommodate upwards of 1,000 persons. The church is enclosed on three sides with a railing of cast and wrought iron, on a cut-stone plinth. The railing is divided into compartments by massive stone pillars, and, together with the plinth, is of a design corresponding in style with the church ; which, by-the-by, is also used by the Scotch soldiers of the Garrison. Church of the Messiah (^Unitarian). Opposite the above is a plain and substantial edifice, in the Byzantine style of architecture, which also suffered by fire last year (1869). The tower is about seven- teen feet square, and about 120 feet high. Over the west end entrance is a large rose window, and in the chancel another, both filled with highly decorative stained glass. The church, which is under the ministry of the Rev. John Cordner, affords accommodation for o\'«r 1«50 persons. ^ . . B - 18 BELMONT STREET. Normal and Model Schools. The building in which the above named Bchools are held is a rather handsome pile in the Tudor style of architecture. This institution is intended to give a thorough training to teachers, which end is satisfactorily attained by instruction and train- "tg in the Normal, and by practice in the Modci Schools. Professor W. H. Hicks is principal of this infltit'ition, BERTHELET STREET The Ladies' Benev0LENT In8tjtx:tu).n'. for th« r«hcf of widows and half-orphans, is a large unpretending thre« storey building. This Society, as its name infers, is managed polely l»y a committee of Ladies,, and is one of the most useful in Canada. BLEURY STREET. St. Mary's College (Jesuit). At the comer of Dorchester street is a large and handsome stone building, with an extensive play-ground for the use of the scholars, in front. Rev. Father Vignon, S. J.,. Director. Jesuits' Church. This fine building is 230 feet long and 102 feet \7ide, with a transept 152 feet long. The roof is supported by double rows of columns, terminating with composite capitals. There are no- galleries, with the exception of an organ gallery, which, at each side of the organ, will accommodate the students and pupils of the College. The height of the middle nave is 75 feet, and the width between the rows of columns is 40 feet. The hefght of the side naves is 34 feet.. The rear wall of the chancel is octagonal, as are also the terminal walls of the transept. The chancel and transept are lighted by immense ornamental windows. The ceiling is beautifully frescoed and the walls adorned with magnificent paintings of scenes in evangelical and ecclesi- astical history. There is accommodation for over 4,500 persons. The basement, unlike the generality of Roman Catholic churches, consists of a large amphitheatre and forum, capable of seating 4,000 persons. The height is twenty feet above the forum, and 11 feet in front. The en- trance to the church is by two large, handsome towers, which open on a vestibule 17 feet deep, and extending across the entire front of the church. Tho«e towers are about 200 feet high, and 30 feet square, and present a corner instead of a face to the street. BONSECOURS STREET. Soldiers' Institute, is a stone building on the corner of Champ de Mars street, and is an institution worthy of support, the intention being to draw the soldier from the tavern, and lower places of resort.. 19 It coatains Reading Room, Library, and Billiard Room, besides con- veniences for many other amusements. CHENNEVILLE STREET. Jewish Synaqooub, is a neat cut stone building, the interior of which is beautifully fitted up in the Egyptian style. Rev. A. De Sola, Rabbi. COLLEGE STREET. Ashes Inspection Store, is a large brick building, extending nearly as far back as William street ; all the inspection of Pots and Pearls for the city trade, which is pretty extensive, is done here by Messrs. Dydo & Major. Roman Catholic Colleqe, a plain, substantial pile of buildings, well ."uited to the purpose originally intended. Of late, however, it has been need as a barracks. The 6UtL Rifles occupied it during their service in Canada. COMMISSIONERS STREET. St. Ann's Market, is a neat brick building, consisting of butchers', traders', and green-grocers' stalls, with a large hall above the butchers' market, used by Mr. Wm. Evans, as the Lower Canada Agricultural Hall ; was built at a cost of about 12,000, on the site of the old Govern- ment House COMMON STREET. Time Ball. Coming along the river side the stranger is attracted to a rather curio ^ looking apparatus on the roof of Messrs. Boyer & Hudon's store. This turns out to be a time regulator for the shipping public, which is governed from the McG?ll Observatory by electricity, and descends punctually every day at noon. Custom Hou/'e Square, in the centre of which stands the old " Custom Hoti.se." In front of the building is a small enclosure filled with flowers. and shrubs, and having a fountain in its midst. On the left is the Montreal House. In the adjoining block are the ofiices of the Trinity Board and the Harbour Commissioners ; on the oppcsito side are some fine warehouses. Royal Insurance Building, at the junction of this with Commis- sioners street, the palatial magnificence of which cannot fail to attract the beholder, is a fine building, a credit to the city, being erected in a most sumptuous style. The elevations are of a more or less elaborate design. The handsomest portion of the building is the tower, which < ontains a fine four-faced clock, and is surmounted by a cupola, covered with zinc, in fish-scale pattern. The court, the walla of which are lined wixh white 20 Dutch tiles, a novel feature, in this country, presents a very light, clear and handsome appearance, while tho ornamental iron railing and columns surrounding the galleries, bronzed and painted a rich cobalt colour, give it altogether a cool and chast^J character. The fitting of the officer of the '' lloyal Insurance Company," of curved oak throughout, and in keeping with, the architecture of the building, are, without exception, the most handsome in the city. The building ia divided by fovr fire- proof brick partitions. Montreal Ocean S. S. Company's Office, belonging to tlw Messrs. H. & A. Allan, situated at the junction of this and Youville streets, is a substantial and ornamental cut stone building. At the wharf below is generally to be seen one or more of the Company's steamers loading or unloading their cargoes alongside the largo freight sheds, erected for their accommodation. COTTE STREET. Theatre Royal is outwardly a very plain building. The interior is fitted up to soat about 1,750 persons. School op the Christian Brothers (Friars) is a large cut-stono building, attended principally by French Canadian children, who pay but a nominal amount for tuition. The C. B. deserve great credit for their efibrts to educate the young of their own religion, by opening schools in all parts of the city. Presbyterian Church op Canada (Free), is a neat and comfort- ably fitted up cut-stone edifice. A high tin-covered spire, and a flight of stone steps with iron railing in front, add greatly to its appearance. Will accommodate about 1000 persons. Rev. Dr. Burns, pastor. CRAIG STREET. This street was formerly tiie course of a rivulet or town ditch, which has been converted into a tunnel, forming a large and useful main sewer, to carry off" the waste water. It now forms one of the widest streets and greatest thoroughfares of the city. Cattle Market, is a large and well adapted brick building, con- taining ofiice^, weigh-house, and clerk's residence. French Protestant Church, on the corner of Elizabeth af leet, is in size GO x iO, of rough stone, with cut-stone dressings, in the early English style of architecture, with pointed windows, and an octagonal canopied spire. There is a basement under the entire length of the edifice, 10 feet high, well lighted and ventilated. The buildings in con- nection with and adjoining the church are a Bible Depository on the same street, and the pastor's residence on St. Elizabeth street, both ■ t^t^ ■ 23 having cut-stone fronts and pointed windows. Rev. 11. P. Duclos, pastor. The Military School, situated on this street, just opposite the Champ de Mars, is a spacious structure, well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed. There are apartments for arms, ammunition, and other military equipments. Cost, $100,000, Central Hose Station, a fine three-storey stone and brick build- ing, at the corner of Chenncville street, was erected for the Corporation by Mr. M. H. Perrault, in 1863. It has accommodation in the third atorey for the Chief Engineer. The Booms op the Young Men's Christian Association, — with their excellent Library, &c., are at the corner of Craig and Alex- ander streets. St. Patrick's Hall, situated at the corner of Craig street and Victoria square, is a fine monument of the energy, taste, and patriotism of the Irishmen of Montreal. The building has a frontage of 140 feet on Victoria square, and 100 on Craig street and Fortification lane. The height from the street level to the cornice is 72 feet. In the early part of March, 1869, a portion of the roof imfortunately gave way and fell in.

Laundry, drying-room ; bath rooms for males ana females ; fuel cellars, &c., are all provided in the basement. The whole building is thoroughly heated by steam. The rooms are large,, lofty, and well ventilated, and great care appears to have been taken to obtain that great desideratum in an institution of this kind, viz., to keep the two sexes totally separated, and at the same time to be so near thd siiperintendent's apartments, as to be at all times under his imme- diate supervision. High School, a fine brick building in the Grecian stylo ; is under the Protestant Board of School Commissioners, and is noted throughout the Province as a first-class educational institution.

For size, beauty, and convenience^ this is one of the most important of our city churches. It is cruciform in plan, with tower, stained windows, and the usual accessories of lothio architecture. The capacity of the building is that of 1000 sittings on the ground floor — there being no galleries, except one for the organs and choir.

Wesleyan Church. A large stone building on the corner of this and Durham street. Tliis is the furthest east of the Wesleyan churches in the city, and is well attended. College of Physicians and Surgeons (French), situated in this street, near St. Charles Borromee street, is a very unprepossessing building, surrounded by a common board fence. But albeit it has an unfavorable aspect, it has turned out some clever men from its halls. The Catholic Congregational Church, on the corner of Lagauchstiere and Chenneville streets, is a very plain looking edifice. The church was founded in 1833, as a United Presbyterian Church, but was rebuilt and enlarged in 1847. The former congregation of this church worship in the larger and much finer edifice in St. Catherine street, now called the Erskine Church. St. Patrick's Church (R. C), stands on an elevated site at the corner of St. Alexander street, and is one of the most striking objects visible on approaching the city.

St. Ann's Chapel, at the junction with Basin street, is a handsome stone building in the Gothic style of architecture, and will seat about 1,500 persons. M'GILL STREET.

This street was formerly the boundary of the city proper ; on the west and beyond lie Griffintown and the St. Antoine Suburb. There are a number of very fine stores in this street. The Albion Hotel is one of the ornaments of this street, Decker & Co., proprietors. The Dominion and Albert Buildings cannot fail to attract the attention of the visitor to Montreal. ST. PATEICK'iS CHUECH— See page 28. 3t NOTRE DAMC STREET. Dalhousie Square, at the head of this street, is occupied on the left as a cab stand, while on the right are a number of cut-stone dwell- ing houses, lately occupied as officers' quarters by the Royal Artillery and Engineers.

It is now divided into offices for the various military- departments. Government Garden, is a handsomely decorated plot of ground belonging to Government, and leased by them to one of our principal seedsmen, Mr. George Shepherd, who seems to pay great attention to its cultivation. The rooms of the Inst:[TUT Canadien will repay a v'sit. The most valuable books in the Library were the munificent gift of Prince Napo- leon, who passed through Montreal some ten years ago. Jaques Cartier Normal School is a large building opposite the garden above mentioned. It is under the direction of R. C. Priests, and is well conducted. The offices of the Superintendent of Education for the Province of Quebec, were, until a few years ago, in the same building, which was once used as the Government House by the French governors. Jacques Cartier Square is a large open space extending from this street to the river. A magnificent view of the Victoria Bridge and St. Helen's Island is to be had from this square, which rises toward* Notre Dame street wHh a considerable incline. Nelson's Monument, situated at the head of the above square, i* invariably visited by all strangers, and never fails to excite the deepest interest ; on the pedestal were representations of three of the battles in which this gallant hero fought. We cannot refrain from saying that this column is a disgrace to the city. Through the culpable negligence of the corporation, the citizens, or both combined, the only publio^ monument in the city, the only memorial to Great Britain's heroes which ve can boast of, has been allowed to go to ruin ; this which should b»i an Honour to our city is a standing disgrace. And, as if to nake thin disgrace more palpable, Nelson's hack is turned towards his natural element — the water. We regret to say that, in this matter^ Englishmen have certainly not done their duty. Champ de Mars, or Military Parade Ground, is a fine gravelled, space of 600 yards in length by 100 broad, and is bounded on one side: by Craig street, and on the other by the Court House, the raised em- 32 Ijankment in rear of which is well boarded, and a flight of seeps leading to the parade ground and extending its entire length, furnishes a first rate -itand for spectators.

This is an educational establish- ment for French Canadian girls, in which all the branches of a general education, needle- work, music, embroidery, &c., are taught, all being under the direction of the Black Nuns.

Church of Notre Dame, generally, but improperly, called by British residents the " French Cathedral,"' is, in point of dimensions and area, the pride of Montreal. Its twin Gothic towers seen from afar off, bear no inconsiderable resemblance to that "Notre Dame " on the banks of the Seine. The corner stone of this edifice, which is built in the perpendicnlar Gothic style of the middle ages, was laid on the 3rd September, 1824, and was opened for public worship in July, 1829. It was originally intended to make it much larger than it is at present, in fact to extend it down to St. Paul street, and to build it in the shape uf a Maltese Cross, but for many reasons, the plan had to be resigned in favor of the present building, the length of which is 255 feet 6 inches. ,. i':i(>«;:;':ii|i'i'f, o c c/: K I en "3 P 0^ re w and its breadth 144 feet 6 inches. The height of the to^vers is 220 feet. The great windo'y at the high altar, which is filled with beauti- fully stained glass, is 64 feet high and 32 feet wide. The church is capable of accomuiodating over seven thousand persons. In the north- east tower is a fine chime of bells, and in the north-west tower is placed the largest bell in America, cast expressly for this church, and weighing 29,400 lbs. ; its sound is very remarkable. This tower is open to the public for a small fee ; from the top a splendid view of the River St. Lawrence, the island of Montreal, St. Helen's island, Victoria Bridge, and the surrounding country, is presented. Seminary of St. Sulpice, in connection with the Parish Church, is one of the most ancient buildings in the city. There is a public clock in the front of the building, equally celebrated for its antitiuity. Nearly opposite the Seminary are the Rooms of the Cercle Litt^riiire, OTTAWA STREET.

The roof is covered with different colored slates. The interior has an arched roof, grained oak. There are no galleries except at the end.

Behi'id the pulpit there is an organ gallery, in a recess, with a neat pointed arch and columns in front, and underneath tliis gallery is the vo.stry. Tlie church has three entrances in front, ani one in the rear, and a lofty basement extends under the whole edifice, forminjj school, class, and lecture rooms, vestry, &c. McGiLL College is beautifully situated at the base of the moun- tain, and immediately in front of the Keservoir. This establishment owes ils origin to the liberality of the lato Hon. James McGill, who bequeathed the estate of Eurnside and £10,000 for its endowment. Besides lecture, class, and other rooms, it contains residences for its professors.

At the west end it comes very close to a precipitous rock which rises up between it and Dorchester street. There arc gardens laid out with terraced walks here and there. The sidewalks are shaded by rows of trees, which give a cool and refreshing shelter from the heat of the sun's rays.

This building was carried out under the able and experienced supervision of George and John Jas, Browne, Esqs., Arch- itects, whose design was unanimously adopted after a competition. The structure has three frontages or facades, faced with Oliio sandstone. The shafts of the Doric columns of the portico (ground floor,) and those of the Corinthian columns forming the centre of the second storey on the Great St. James street front, are of polished Peterhead granite, the red tint of which has a fine effect. The principal entrance to the O H O >^ o w en Ctl (6 0!? 05 49 bank is in the centre of the ground floor of this front, and the private entrance in the east or court facade, entered from the same street. The third front, in St. Peter street, has a separate and indepfindent entrance to commodious chambers which occupy the Srst and second floors, and are to be leased to public companies as offices. The street facade possess, not only from their extent, but from their architectural treat- ment, a bold and imposing character, and display in their composition, apprc^riateness and simplicity, the general forms conducing to unity and expressic-n of purpose. They are also remarkable for the boldness of their projections, and interesting as showing the tendency at the present moment to the use of a much larger amount of carving for ex- ternal decoration than has hitherto been employed. The substructure of the principal facade on Great St. James street is a stylobate of mas- sive vermiculated rustic, from which rise broad pilasters or rusticated piers on either side of the central projection or portico which extends to the street line, the whole including one tier of openings, and sur mounted by a regular Doric entablature. Of the five compartments into which the ground floor of this facade is divided, the central one is somewhat wider than the rest, and displays a handsome entrance door- way of large proportions and deeply recessed, approached by flight of steps externally. The windows have semicircular heads, radiating rustics, moulded jambs, carved imposts and masks on the key stones. The doors are constructed of plate iron with oak framings, cast iron mouldings, with ornaments and medallions bolted thereon, and finished to imitate bronze. The sashes to the ground floor throughout are of Spanish mahogany, varnished and polished, and glazed with single sheets of plate glass. The shutters are of plate iron, in two parta, balanced and adjusted so that when the upper half ascends the lower one descends into grooves constructed in the wall to receive them, and vicp. t-^aa, when the upper part descends, the lower one ascends, and both meet in a groove in the centre of the height of each window, where they become locked. An entablature, marking the separation of the second storey from the third or attic storey, and projecting forward in the centre of the building over the four Corinthian columns, is enriched with modil- Jions ai;d dentils to correspond in richness and effect wit.» the capitals of the columns. The upper part of the building is terminated with an attic cornice, breaking forward with the centre of the building, which corresponds in width with the portico on the ground floor. Thus the effect of a centre, indicated by the projecting portico on the ground floor, is maintained throughout tlie whole height of the building, and, being surmounted by a sculptured group, forms the most proiainent feature in the composition. Another noticeable feature in this building is the stacks of chimneys carried up above the attic cornice, which are executed in rubbed sandstone, and are of an ornamental character. CoMMKBOiAL Banit, on the comer of St. Peter, is a plain out stone building, in the Greoian Doric style. 50 Mechanics' Institute.
