Within their limits ce.itralize almost all aspects of a people. In this utilitarian a^e, the glory of a nation is in the strength of her commer- cial progress ; and co-equal with this must be the extending of her cities. To the traveller each district, town or city he visits presents an aspect peculiar to itself ; and to attract the stranger, it is necessary that we should possess objects worthy of interest. It can be safely said that no city on tliis continent presents more objects of interest to the stran- ger, and none whose approaches are more varied and beau- tiful than the city of Montreal. From the mo:-^ent the tourist leaves Niagara till he enters the precintsof the city, le continued scene of beaut)^ crowds upon his path. The " Thousand Islaiids," dotting the river like a string of emeralds of all shades and sizes — now running like a nar- row band of green ribbor., then spreading into large plains covered with verdure ; again they are small, rural and ab- rupt. The boat speeds along its course, gliding by some, and rushing with serpentine twist around others. Then there are the rapids- -world-famed and ever wondrous. Whether the traveller approaches by the mouth of the St. Lawrence, or by way of the White Mountains, his mind is impressed by the grandeur of die scenery. Montreal is its3lf the larg^:st city in British America, and it is there- for j supposed that no jierson would forego the pleasure of a vi-sit to that city, if his 'lourse is turned through Canada. A stranger here requires a " Guide," else he may wander about for days, and leave the city without having seen much to gratify Hm. This little work is issued with a view to assist strangers in their wanderings through the city. The descriptions are of oui^e merely practical ; a lofty style would be superfluous. The American or English tourist will find it well worthy ©f preservation, not only as a book to refer to hereafter but as a memento of his visit to the mercantile Emporium of British America — the city of Montreal. \ CITY OF MONTHKAT.. —'*****» %' •%0^-f***'^'' \ 'I'his city, founded in 1()12, is tlie largest in British North America, havin;^ a population of about 75,000. It is situ- ated at the foot of the " lloyal Mov-ntaiii," from which it takes its name, upon a large island at the confluence of the Ottawa and St. Lawrence, which, both in fertility and cul- tivation, is considered the gai d(;n of Canada East. 'I he main branch of the Ottawa, which is the limber highway to Quebec, passes north of Montreal island and enters the >St. Lawrence about eighteen miles below the city ; about one-third of its waters are, however, discharged into Lake St. Louis, and joining but not miuLjlin"; at Cauohnawao-a the two distinct bodies pass over the Sauli: St. Louis and the Lnchine Rapids — tiie dark waters of the Ottawa wash- ing the. (piay.> of Montreal, wiiile the blue St. I/awreu'^e occupies the other shore. Nor do they merge their dis- tinctive character until they are several miles b:;Iow Mon- treal. The quays of Montreal are unsurpassed bv tho.se of any city in America; built of solid limestone, and uniting with the locks and cut stone wharves of the Lachine Cana', tliey present for several miles a display of continuous ma- sonry, which ha'^ f(>w parallels. Unlike the lev(H;s of the Ohio and Mississippi, no un.^ightly wha'-ehouses disfigure the river side. A broad teirace, faced v^ith grey limestone, the parapets of which are surmounted with a substantia' iron railing, divides the city IVom the river throughout its whole extent. 8 Montreal Ls not only the chief commercial (.-ily of British North America, but it is di-stingiuhhed for its beautiful and spacious public buildings, its churches, educational and othei" buildings, its railway stations, its water power, and for its picturesque vicinitage. And there is every probability that from its central position and other advantages, it will be selected as the permanent seat of Government. The city is well supplied with pure water, and its streets are brilliantly lighted with gas. Go where you will you be- hold domes and spires, educational institutions and huge factories towering to the skies, all indications of the enter- prise, industry and prosperity of its inhabitants. The hand- some buildings and residences which now adorn the slope o the mountain, overlooking the St. Lawrence, are not indeed to be surpassed for elegance and beauty by structures o^ more pretensions in older countries. The beautiful mountain which overlooks the city, con- sists of two distinct hills, between which, one of the leading avenues into it passes. There are roads also by which the circuit of either or both mountains can be made, and which, from the very beautiful scenery they present, a 'e favorite drives with tourists or seekerr of recreation. The base of the mountain is adorned with numerous splen- did villas ; and the choicest orchards of the whole island, or indeed of Lower Canada, are those situated around it, the fruit being of the most delicious flavor and greatest luxuriance of yield. From the summit of the mountam, a magnificent panoramic view is presented. With this brief sketch of Montreal, the reader is intro- duced to the principal buildings and objects of interest in and about the city : — \ Tllli i'Aulftiil (Jtli.KC.i, l'.,Ai r; U A|{,MKH. €!jt Clinrrljrri in llic Citi ]■ \ The Parish Church. — Tlu: con.or stone of this ina<^- nificc-nt edifice, wliicli is huilt in tlie porpviiiliciihu- CJuthic style of the Middhi Ages, was hu'! on the 3d ^H-ptember, l«2^ and wa- opened i'or puhli.- woe: hip in July, 18-29. The length . the Church is L^■).") feet G inches, and its breadth 13.. feet G inches. 'J^lie hii-ht of the principal towers is '220 feet, and of liie others 115 feet each.

Tlie total number of pews is '"1,221, capable of seating between six and seven thousand persons, in the north cast tower is a fine chime of bells, and in the 10 nnitli west lower is placeil tlie large ,t bell in America, cast expressly for this clitircli and weighing 29,400 Ihs. '1 liis tower is open to the public lor a small fee ; from the top a splendid view of the i>land of Montreal is presented. A collection of niaonificent paintings, by the most c(debrated artists, adoins this church. St. .Tames' Church. This beautiful buildin*'; IS erected upon the ruins of the one destioyed by Inc great fne of 1852, known as the Bishop's Church, which was cf the Ivoman-Ionic order; but altered in form and exti'nded in length, is now constructed after the most admired speci- mens of the early pointed style, chielly drawn from existing examples of the thirteenth century. It is a fine example of what is sometimes called Christian architecture. The windows are of stained glass. The Recollet Church, west Notre Dame street, is a commodious stone building of ancient architecture, and the oldest church but one in Montreal. When church accom- modation v.a> very limited, nearly a century ago, divine ser- vice was held ui this building on Sundays alternately by tiie various denominations of Christian residents in Montreal. It will seat about 2,000 persons. St. Ann's Church, Grillintown, is a large and coni- modiou'-- s'niie buildhig, capable of seating over 3,000 per- sons ; i' i.> in the Gothic syle of architecture, and is tlu? most st: iking edifice in the quarter of the city in which it is situated The JiONSECOURS Church, St. Paul street, (the llr^t erected in this city) contains a fine organ, and will accom- modate about 2000 persons. St. Peter's Church. — This is a very handsome edi- fice, situated on Visitation street, and built of cut stone, in the style of the 13th century, resembling the Bishop's or St. .Tames' Church. It will accommodate about three thousand persons. The new Cathedral, together with the Bishop's resi- dence, about to be erected in St Antoine suburbs, will be a fac shnile of St. i^eter's Church, Rome, and will not be surpassed in grandeur on this continent. The buildings at present occupying this site, being the old French Burying Ground, are well worth visiting. I \ I ST. PATRICK'S CEURCH ALEXANDER STREET. I 12 8t. Patrick's Church. — This large and commanding edifice is built in the Gotiiic style of the 15th century. ]t stands upon an elevated site, on AUixander street, front- in"- Laoauchoticre street, and is one of the most striking oDjects visible on approaching the city. The extreme lenolh is 21-0 feet, the breadth 90 feet, and the height of s)>i?e 225 feet. I he interior is comfortably fitted up, liaving i-oom to seat about 5,000 persons. (Wee engrav- ing on preceding page.) Ni; NNKUI KS, &c. The Grey Nunnery, designed for the care of found- lings and the infirm, is situated on Foundling street, near the St. Ann's market. The Hotel Dieu Nunnery, on St. Joseph and St. Paul streets, is designed for sick and diseased persons. The Black Nunnery, Notre Dame street, is an ad- mirable institution, in which all the branches of a general education, needle-work, embroidery, &c. are taught. The Bon Pasteur Nunnery, situated on Sherbrooke street, and L'Asyle de la Providence, St. Catherine street, are devoted to the care of a< -d and infirm persons, 'I here are several other Nunneries, in different parts of the city, devoted to various offices! of Christian charity, to all of which Chapels are attached. The Seminayy of St. Sulpice, situated in Notre Dame street, 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 antiquity. 'I he Maria Villa Convent is situated about three miles from Montreal, (Mouklands) and was formerly the residence of the Governor (leneral. There is also a very- handsome Church adjacent to tliis Nunnery. COLLEGES. The Theological College. — This building is erected on the ground of the ^^eminarJ of St. Sulpice — commonly called the Priest's Farm— abutting on the line of Sherbrooke street, (from whence a good view of the building can be obtained,) is an extensive and imposing structure, in the 13 Italian style of architecture. The plan forms three sides of a quadrangle, with the wings advancing. The eastern wing contains a chapel 100 feet by 40 feet, with a library over, and is embellished in the Corinthian style. The western wing contains the kitchen and refectory. The whole is traversed by curtains, wide and lofty corridors, and spa- cious and elegant stair-cases, giving easy access to all por- tions of the building. It is probable that this is the moat substantial building ever erected in Canada, built from a quarry of compact building stone of Basaltic character. |)ro(c.^.(an( €r)urc§(J$, €0((c()cs, k. CHURCH OP ENGLAND. Christ Church Cathedral.,— The foundation stone of this important and gracel'ul structure was laid by the (An- glican) Bishop of Montreal, on the 21st of May 1857. Its site is at the junction of Union Avenue and St. Catherine street. The plan of the Church is cruciform, and of the early decorated style of architecture. Care has been taken by judiciously disposing the masses of the building to secure a fine outline, as well as a complete ecclesiastical architec- tural eflect. The tower and spire will be placed at the intersection of the four arms of the cross, with vestry at- tached, yet separate. It will be built of Caen stone, and Montreal limestone, the latter being obtained from the neighboring quarries, and the former from Normandy.

Width of nave 70 " Transept including Tower 99 *' Height of Tower and Spire 224 " The upper stage of the tower will contain a peal of bells, and immediately above the corbel-table the clocks will be placed.

The first story is occupied as a Grocery, by Mr. Thomas, (lessee of the building) and is fitted up in a style of elegance, not to be surpassed in America, nor even in older countries. The second story is occupied as offices, of various descriptions, the third and fourth stories form a magnificent hall for assemblies, con- certs, &c. seating about six hundred persons. The fifth story is occupied by the Masonic Grand Lodge of Canada. Cost of building, about $50,000. 24 The Bank op Montreal. Place d'Armes, is an elegant cut stone building of the Corinthian order. The Merchant's I'^xchange. — This fine building is situated on St. w'>acramet street, (one of the narrowest streets in the city,) and is consequently seen to great dis- advantage. The premises cover an area of about half an acre, which comprises an open court for the meeting of merchants on 'change, and the building contains a read- ing room, a meeting room, and sevenil oflices, which are occupied by the Board of Trade and other public bo- dies of a commercial character. The style of architecture is the modern Italian, and the arrangement of the building throughout is such as to reflect the greatest credit on its projectors. The St. Ann's Market, on Foundling street, is a neat brick building, well adapted for the purpose for which it was designed. It was built at a cost of about jJ>12,0C0. The Protestant Orphan Asylum, situated in St. Catherine street, is a well conducted charity, sustained by the benevolence of private individuals. The Ladies Benevolent Institution for the relief of widows and half orphans, is a large three story building in Berthelet street, managed by a committee of Ladies. Nelson's Monument in Jacques Cartier Square is invariably visited by all strangers, and never fails to excite the deepest interest. The Theatre PvOYal, Cote street, is a neat brick building, handsomely fitted up, and will accommodate about 1500 persons. The Jail, at the east end of St. Mary street, is a substantial pile of stone buildings, surrounded by a wall; the erection of which cost over $120,000. The remaining public buildings worthy of notice are : — The old Government House, Notre Dame street, now occupied as the Normal School ; The Barracks, Water street; The Custom House, St. Paul street; 1 he Odd Fellow's Hall, (Ueit St, James street; The Bon Pasteur Nunnery, Sherbrooke street ; The National School Bonse- cours street ; Britiish Canadian School, I^gauchtiere street ; the Christian Schools, Vitre street. BANK OF MONTREAL, PLACE D'ARMES. 36 ^tililir Wmks. THE VICTORIA BRIDGE. It is undeistood (hat this stupendous undertaking will be completed in the fVill of 1859 or early in the year 1860. The cosi of this gipanlie structure was originally estimated at Xl,450,000, but this sum has since been reduced, and the present calculaii' n of its probable cost is about £1,260,000. It if supposed that in its erection 250.000 tons of stone and 7.500 tons of iron have been used. Tlie iron superstructure is supported on 24 piers and two abutments. The centre span being 330 feet ; there are 12 spans on each sideof the centre, 242 feet each. The length of the abut- ments is 242 feet each. The extreme lengih including abutments is 7' 00 feet. The height above summer water level in the centre opening is 60 feet, descending to either end at the r;ite of 1 in l30. The conignts of the masonry will be three millions of cubic feet. The weight of iron in the tubes is 8000 tons. The following are the dimensions of tube through which the trains pass in the middle span, viz : 22 feet high. l6 feet wide ; at the extreme ends 19 feet high, 16 feet wide. 1 lie total lengili from river bank to river bank will be 10,284 feyt, or about 50 yards less than two English miles. THE WATER WORKS. The water is taken by an Aqueduct from the St. Law- rence, about a mi e and a half above the Lachine Rapids, where the elevation of the river surface is about thirty-seven feet above Pv'ontreal harl)()ur. It is conducted for a distance of five mi'es ihrough an open canal, (forty feel wide on the water surface, and eight feet deep at the lowest stage of the river^ to the river !Si. Pierre, at the outskirts of the city. Here at the ternunaiion of the aqueduct, a capacious basin is formed in order to give surfyce area sufficient to prevent the bead being suddenly diawn down by the large quantity of water required to start the wheels. The aqueductintersects three streams, wliicli are carried under it by syphon culverts and is crossed by twelve bridges. IMore than half of the aque- duct is through ctittiiig from 10 to 23 feel in depth, one and a quarter miles of which are through solid rock, seven to four- teen feet thick, ilie width of the cut being thirty four feet. Ai the termination of the aqueduct is the wheel house two iron water \n heels, iweuty feet diameter and twenty feet 28 hfoatl are crecieu Mills, 169 Kinaston, 173 Collin's Bay, 18U Ernestown, l8S Napanee, 199 Tyoiidonaua, 209 Shannnnville, 213 Belleville, . . .220 Trenton, 232 Brighton, 212 Colbome 249 Grafion, '^56 BROCK VILLK SECTiON.
