The mendicant order of ^ronks, called Franciscaus, was Ibnnded in :^pain, in the year 1208, by St. Francis d" Assisi.^ Subsequently they spread into Italy and were introduced into Fran,-e bv St. Louis of Gonzaga. They were^ also called " RecoUets,'- from the latin word '' TtecoUectus, si- nifvino' " meditation " and also '• gatheriug-." ThoTr <'hief works were teaching, uursiug the sick, and ministering to the poor, whose wants they supplied out ot the donations and alms which they received. In tact their livelihood was obtained entirely by begging, periormed by the "Freres Mineurs," and so highly were they esteeuied and beloved in old Canada, that the " habitants ' would always transport free of charge the results of their beo-giug expeditions from village to village and finally to the con- vent in Quebec. The boatmen invariably were pleased to ferry them free across the St. Lawrence. * DeSaligiiac. 04 Saiiiu.'l s, thai •• h.' was coiivinr.Ml ..I " the iiiM'cssity <>r rcliuious iustnirlioii to iiillutMu^- siicli ol " til.'

In this connexion h.- was directt'd hy Sieur Louis llou<'l, at ili-ouauv <<• apply to llio (IciuM-al ofthc Order of RcM-oUcts. On the Inth ()(;iol)'r, |i;H, a! a unH'tinu- ol" tln' Slates (ieneral, liehl at SiMis, \vher<' many Cardinals and Bisliops were present, Cham plain made his appeal ; the [>ropi)sal was lavorahiy r»M-,-iv,'d and money was subscribed toAards the oullit of tin' l'\ithers. l'\)ur IJeiollets were chos 'U as missionaries to Canada, namely : Fathers Denis Jamay, the sui)eriur, Jean D'Olheau, Joseph LeCaron and l)rotht!r Tacilique Duph'ssis. They assembh'd at Rouen in March, lt;i5, and sailed from Hon- lliMir on the lijlh April, arrivinu at Tadousac on the liHh Mav and proeiM'ch'd thence to Quebee. A tem]>orary chapel ami hous' were erected near the '^ Abitation," now the site ol' the Cluuvh ol" Notre-Dame des Victoires. ]\-re D'Olbeau remained in Quebec and the thn^' others wenl to Three Rivers to begin their woi'k among the Indians. \n l(i2') two more ol" the Or(hM- arrived, Pore Nicolas Viel and Frere Crabriel Sagard, the lirst historian or{\inada. So well did the Recollets master the Indian language tliat they compiled a grammar and dictionary ol' the Huron and Al- gonquin tongues, which the Jesuits subsequently found extremely useful, but did not give the originators much credit therefor. As thw hay the intercession ol he Kecollets, leave was granted and the Jesuits were hospital)ly entertained at the convent of Xoire-Dame. They lived there untd their residence was completed at Hare romt, in 1027. , 1 r^ u On 19lh June, 1<;21», the brothers Ki)ke captured Quebec and both llecollets and Jesuits were shipped back to luance. r,y the treaty of St. Uermain. 2lUh March, 10:52, Canada was re'stored to France, and on 10th Jul y of that year the French Hag again w^aved over Quebec. The Jesuits returned to Canada but the Kecollets were refused permission to proceed there, the reason alleged was that, as they were of a mendicant order of Monks, they were unsuitable for that country ; ihis opposition it seems was inspired by the Jesuits. However, in 1009, after repeated petitions and by the intercession' of M. Talon, the Intendant, permission was granted and several Kecollet Fathers sailed from Rocheile «u; for^'iiuiulii witli liim. 15ut tlu'y wore iiiilovtuniitcly wrecked lu'ar Lisbon aiul rclunu'd In Fninco whence t hoy suIUmI tho next year, arriving- at (Quebec with M. Tiilon, iMli Aug'ust, 1070. Thev resumed possession ol' tlieir properlies but found the buihlinu's very dihipidated and ahnost in ruins. \olhini»' dnunted, reconstruction was ))('yun on 2'2n(l .lune, KiTl, and and the (!hurcli was consecrated in HIT:'). The governor, iM-ontenac, in KiTT, built lor tliem at his ow^n expense a hirgc convent, and in lOTS a chiii)ei and sacristy were adiU'd, so tiiat llie property of Not re-Dame des Anges was put in Ix-tter onU'r than when they left Ca- nada lifty years bel'ore. It is now the Cleni'ral Hospital. The Uecollets liad not been ten years in possession of their convent wdieu they wislied to eslal)lish themselves in the Upper Town of Quebec, and on the ^ 8th May, 1(5Sl, they obtained I'rom the King an emplacement caUed the " Senechaussee " or " Senechal's' Jurisdiction," between Garden, St. Anne and St Louis streets, on which they built by degrees a convent and church, l)ut much ngainst the wishes of the bishop, Monseigneur de Laval. When Bishop St. Vallier was in Paris in March, 101'2, he obtained irom Loins XIV, a conlirmation of the permission to the Franciscans, to be estal)lished in Canada. At the same time he obtained from the Father Provincial of the Eecollets permission to negociate for the purchase of the property of Notre-Dame des Anges, which he required for the General Hospital. On the loth August, 1G92, Bishop St. Vallier arrived in Quebec with a reinforcement of four- teen Kecollets. On 13th September the transfer of the whole of the pro- perty on the St. Charles was made to the Bishop, containing six arpents, together with the Church and convent for the sum of 1(),000 livres (about $3,000) cash down and 1,600 28th l)\" Laroaii, but Sth In- the Juo'euieiit du Consuil Soinoiaii •17 ll(3 't livruH (•■jiofji)) piT iuiiiiun lor livt; years.

As thoy wished lo reserve lour arponts on tho St. Charles i'or a u^ardoii and hi-rmitage, St. A'allior prercrred to ^ive them a further sum of 1200 livres (1270) to enable them to purchase a site on iho water side on whioh thoy built a chapel, the present " Chaju'lh' de St. Koch." lie also i)ermitted the installation of their convent in Upl)or Town and promised them an annual charity ot 50 crowns, and gave thom the right to march in procession once a year to tho General Hospital of Notre-Dame des Angos, there to celebrate grand mass. At the siege of Quebec in 17.") l>, tho RecoUet buildings were considerably damaged by the lire of the British, and the fall of Quebec was e(iually disastrous to the Rocollets and Jesuits. "We lind that in the capitulations signed at Montreal, 8th September, ITtiO, Article 32 contains as follov^^s, and v^as " (rrnntetr' : — "The communities of nuns shall be preserved " in their constitutions and priviledges, they shall continue " to observe their rules : they shall be exempted from " lodu'inu- any military ; and it shall be forbid to molest thom " ill their religious exercises, or to enter their monasteries : " safe guards shall ever be given them, if thoy desire them." But Article 33 was " refused till the Kind's pleasure be kpoivn' it reads thus :— " The preceding article shall like- " wise be executed with regard to the communities of " Jesuits and ReooUots, and ol the house of the Priests of " St. Sulpice, at ;Montreal : these last, and tho Jesuits shall " preserve their right to nominate to certain curacies and " missions as heretofore." Monsieur Grave, priest of the Seminary, in a letter to 68 Monsieur tie Villavs in Piiris, on 2otli October, 1703, tersely put it : — '• Les Jesuites et les Jieoollets niourront chcz eux, *' mais n'auroiit point de suceesseurs."" ^\•hiell the Kecollets found too true. Free passau'e was g'ivcn in His ^Injesty'.s ships to those ol* the above orders who wished to leave the country and no doubt )iiany availed themselves of this opportunity. The number of llecoUets diminished year by year, so that their convent was too large for them, but in 177»> we iind that the unoccuined portion was used as a jail for political oifenders, and the American prisoners tal-Len in Mont- gomery's fatal attack on Qufbcc, 31st December of that year, were locked up there. Judge Henry in his memoirs gra- phically relates his incarceration there when taken prisoner on that memorable night. Subsequently the political pri- soners DuC'alvet, LaTerriere and others found the restraint imposed on them in the liecollet convent not very formida- ble, and were well cared for by the Monks. The Recollcts, all honor to them, were most liberal towards other religious denominations, for it is recorded in the Quebec Gazette of Thursday, 21st ]\lay, 17G7, that :— " On " Sunday nexi, Divine service, according to the use of the " Church of England, will ))e at the Recollet's Church and *' continue for the summer season, beii'inniiv!' soon after " eleven. The drum will beat each Sunday soon after half " an hour past ten, and the RecoUet's bell will ring, to give " notice of the English service, the instant their own is " ended." Again in the Quebec Gazette of !-)th August, 1789, it is narrated how that on Wednesdav, the 5th August, the lit. llevd. Dr. Charles Inglis, ^ Bishop of Nova Scotia, held * Dr. Cliiirk's Inglis was olocteil rector of Trinity parisii Xew Vork, on the 2(Uli Mareli, 1777.

Government will of " course allow him a handsome annuity during life." 26th September, 1793:— To the'Printer— " Sir,— You are " requested to insert in your next Gazette that the public " may be perfectly inlbrmed and disabusc^d ; and the ano- *' nymous author of the paragraph inserted in the Gazette " of the 19th instant, if he is not a fallacious and mischievous " impostor, has made at least too great a mistake to expose " it so publiekly. To his false allegation it is answered that " the lieverend Pere de Berrey is by no means the only sur- " viving Pere of the order of the Recollets, and that several •' others are still adjoined to him, without the consent of " whom, he cannot by himself for any motive, give up the " Church and Convent of his order ; and that he is not at all " inclined to make such a cession ; the beneiicence and " disinterestment that he has constantly showed to this day '' towards the Protestant people, in ])ermitting them, and " even facilitating the exercise of their religion in his own •' Church, is a very authentic proof of his attentive zeal in " obliging every one in the diversity of their sentiments. " After this striking instance, how could it be said that, " against the law of nations, he may be and his consorts " spoliated of their property ; and that a nation whose ur. " banity, sentiments of honor and humanity form the *' character, can tell to the Proprietors : Ha:c mea sunt veteres " ungrate colonic The venerable Father was evidently in receipt of some annuity or gratuity, for Mr. P. A. DeG-aspe relates in his memoirs that, " Pere de Berrey, the superior of the order, " received from *he English Government a ' Traitement' or " recompense of oOO louis, equivalent to iJ 1,500 of present " money. Also that he had separate apartments in the *' Convent where he received his friends and gave dinners to 71 " theUovornors, and also had the Duke ol'Keiit asa frequent " visitor." The IvecoUet C'onveiu and Church were burnt on the afternoon of 6th September, 1706, and t))e disaster is thus described in the Quebec Gazette of 8th September :— - On Tuesday List, about four o'clock in the afternoon, a ^' dreadful Tuv broke out in a stable belonging to the llon- ♦' orable Thomas Dunn, in St. Louis street, which seemed " for some time to threaten destruction to the g-reater part » of the town. The wind blowing- from the west instantly " communicated the I lames to the hou.se of the Honorable " Chief Justice Monk,^ ami to that adjoining on the east " side. While these were burning with great violence and " it was feared would communicate the flames to the adja- " cent houses on l)oth sides of the street, the fire was ob- " served to have caught in the Convent of the Reeollets, at " the lower end of the street, at least two hundred yards " from where it beuan. In a few minutes the roof and " spire of the Church f(dl down, and the whole Convent was " in a blaze. At that moment it seemed very doubtful " whether the Castle or even the Lower Town could be " saved ; l)ut the wind shifting a little to the northwards " carried the Ilames up Carrieres street, lacing the Chateau " garden, where the fire continued to rage, burning down '« all before it, until it reached the corner of the back street, " which leads up towards Mount Carmel, where at last it " stopped. Thirteen or fourteen houses in all were entirely " burnt downi." This calamity rendtn-ed homeless the few monks that re- mained and they dispersed. Father de Berrey, the superior, found a home with Mr. Francois Duval, in St. Louis street. Frere Marc settled at St. Thomas and earned his living for fortv years-by repairing clocks. Frere Louis Francois Mar tinet dit Bonamie, § opened a school in St. Yalier street and ''T^FhU \< tlR- eit. of tin. ohl Oir.cT.' .inarter., now the resi-K-nces of the Puy- niasu'r Lieut JoL Forrest u,id Uri-^ude .Nh.jor Tascheveuu, ot tl>e 7th M.Uta.j District. , , t m r \i ;.,.. § Quebec Pa^t and Present, hy .T. .M.

After the lire the Government ^ took possession of the property and razed the ruins. Part of the foundation wall, could till lately, he seen in the roadway between the C'athcdral and Place D' Amies near the crossing. That portion of it uxjw surrounded by a stone wall, forms the English (^ithedral " Closer In 1S04 the Court ] louse was built on another portion lacing v>t Louis street and Place D'Ai'mes. After the burning of the Recollet Church, the services of th(^ Church of ]*]n gland were held in the Jesuit's Church situate al)Out the corner of St. Anne and (larden streets. This Church f was demolished in 1807, as the ground was required on which to build the old Market ITall, since removed. Thus t>nds the story of the RecoUets in Quebec, f To correct an error of nomenclature, in this paper, rela- tive to the word " Monk " as applied to the order of St. Francis, it may be here stated that the Franciscans are not Monks, but a mendicant order of Friars, and the " Kecollets " or " Freres ]Mineurs " are a branch or reform of that order estaldished in loo2. * The jiroiicrty of the Recollet'^ w.ns taken luisscssion of shortly af'ter the con- quest, IT.V.t. hut thr survivors were alloweil to enjoy tlie usufruct until the deatii of the last ot them, who was Father de lierrey.

This grand old Cathedral is a plain but substantial rec- tangular edifice, standinu' in the centre of a well kept " Close," and surrounded by a lo^v stone wall, which is surmounted on the street sides with an iron railing ; ^ all along this wall stand those line old trees, f adding beauty to the environmtnit and reminding Englishmen of these sacred buildings in Britain, out? of which it closely resem- bles. Two large and two small iron gates form the entrances from the " Parade ground,'' now called the Place d'Armes, but the main entrance is on Garden street, with a small gate on either side of the large one, over which is a lamp. Let us pass through the main gate, ascend the stone steps which extend along the whole front of the building, the * Railing was made by Mr. Henry Blackburn. f The elm.s are oMer than the Church, bul the bass wood treed were planted by Thos.

The general plan oi" the Church was uiven by C;>[)lain Hall, of the lioyal Arlillrry, the detailed plans of the several parts were drawn by myself. The designs within the Church are all my own, as well as ill*' constru<'ti<»n of the roof, although throughout the work I had continuidly ihe aidof ('apt. i tail's judgment and good taste. The roof and gnlleries are connected with the pillars by strong screw bolts and iron straps and let well into the walls. The proportions of the main columns and entablatures are frOiU i'alladio, as correctly followed as wood work would admit. The whoU^ de^iuns within the Church are of the ancient Ionic order, t)ut from the proportions of dill'erent approved masters aci-ording to their situation. The galleries with the pillai's under the oi'gan are from Alberti's proportions, the volutes formed in his manner, and the only deviation irom him is the dentei added to the cornice, Alberti giving tw^o plain facitc. The throne is a continuation of the same design l)ut hav- ing its columns lluted and its volutes with a third turn. The cornices in the small rooms are from the same masters, but without the dentei. The east window is the Ionic oi Vitruvius according to Vignola, the shafts having a small addition of length to suit the opening. The pulpit is the Ionic of Alberti, the design of it and the readhig desks are mv own. The pillars supporting the stairs behind the pulpit are i I 70 taken from some peculiarly plain Tillars in the Coliseum at Kom.v The oro-an is a drsigii ol' my own and is yet ineoni- pU'te, the base ol' the larle to cut some ol'tlit> ornamonls on llu' vanes.

(J 82 The walls ol' lln' Cathedral are built of stone obtained from A nuc-d arc! ion, Cap l\onL>e and Pointe-aux-Trembles. These iillerent varieties having been found necessary for the several ])arts of ihe v/ork. The underllooring- of the galleries is of pine, that of the Church is of cedar and all the upper ilooring of oak. It is laid down in rebate, that is, half of the thickness of the edge on each side of the plank, is cut away to an equal depth and the ilooring laid by overlaj)ping these edges, the half cut or step from one being lilled up by the half part left in the other, and fastened down with nails and pegs. The pillars are of pitch pine encased with other wood. The arched ceiling is entirely of pine, plaster having been deemed un- suitable for th(,^ climate. The height of the centre of the gi'eai ai'ch from the lloor is 41 feet and from the floor to the to]) of the eiUablature of the pillars 2-"j feet. The chancel is seniieii-euhir inside on a radius of 18 fe(>t. On the wall within the ••hnncel lo the south side of the altar, are the " Ten Commandments," written on two large tablets hav- ing l)road u'ilt rabh' borders, and completely lill the space between the jnllars : opposite these are two similar tablets containing the Lord's Prayer and Apostles' Creed, All the pews and communion raihng are of oak ; this railing is in its orii^inal i)ositioii. I)ut the arrangements of the open space in front of it have been considerably altered. The ancient oaken [)ulpil i>hiced in the centre was in form a twelve sided poIyuoH, and was reached on either side by stair- cas(\s entered fiom the front and meeting on a platform in rear. Directly in front and attached to the pulpit was the reading desk, with a door on each side, and in front of this the clerk's desk. The Bishop's throne was situated on the south side facing the reailiim' desk, with its side against the first pillar; a small pew for the verger was jdaced at the end nearest the Vestry door, in front of the foremost pew and abutting' against the throne was a pew^ for the Divinity students. ■"# 8:i Oil the north side adjoiiiing- the first pilhir iind facing the reading desk was the pew for the clergy, and midway be- tween these was a small irregular octagonal font of cut stone, placed on a wooden pedestal. This font and the old Royal Arms in front of the Governor General's ])ew are now in St. Paul's Church in Champlain street, (the Mariners' chapel.) The font now in use was brought fi'om England in 1831, by the Revd. Dr. Mills. ^ Three quaint looking stoves were imported from London, two of them are still in use at the upper end of the Church. The x>e\vs under the galleries ended at the second pillar and the remaining- space was tilled up with benchcvs. f The centre aisle contained the tvv<'nty-one oaken seats, which are still in use. On either side of the centre door against the wall wert; six pews in three rows, leaving a passage seven feet wide between them and the two rows of pews of the centre aisle. The Communion plate was the si)ec?ial gilt of the King and consists of twelve massive pit^ces of solid silver, exqui- sitely engraved and embossed with the Royal Arms and the arms of the diocese. The alms dish is a particularly beautiful work of art, the bottom being a representation, in relief, of the Lord's supper. A large credence patin, two tall llagons, two heavy chalices of frosted silver, two small plain chalices, two massive candlesticks, one large alms plate, and two plain patius, with the following inscription engraved on them : ■M- ' Wlieii ill Kiij^liiml. lif Wrtd I'oiiiiiii^sioiU'il by Arclideacon Mountain, in a letter daioil 3rd Fcbruarv, is;}|, to [inrcha.-'i' a huiidsonif Font I'nr thu Cathudral, to till- value of jL!20.

Rougu draft and certificate in 'y Jhe Archives of tlu! Cathedral. ' 8o were executed, and towards the end of Ani?ust,the ( V>mmis- sioners notiiied the Bishop that all was ready and petition- ed him to perform that ceremony, which took place cm the 28th August and is thus described in the Quebec Gazelle of 6th September : " On Tuesday, 28th August, was consecrated the new " Cathedral Church of the Diocese of Quebec. At thi- usual " time of Divine service, the Lord Bishop was received at " the west door, by the commissioners appointed for erect- ♦' ing the Church, by the clergy who were present, and '• many lespectable persons of the congregation assembled " for the purpose, and a petition presented to hiui praymg " that he would consecrate the l)uil(ling, was read by the " secretary. His Lordship was from thence eoiulueted to his " throne, by thest^ gentlemen in procession, up the middle "aisle; on takinii: possession of which he addressed tlie " commissioners, to thank them, now that thebuildinu' was " completed, for the zealous attention and important assist- " ance which they had given during the i)rogress ot the " work. A message was then sent to His Excellency the " Lieu'onant Governor ; and immediately upon his entering " the diurch, the hymn of ■ God save the King ' with an " appropriate stan/a w\as played upon the organ and sung '• by the choir. The Bishop and clergy then went lo the " w^est door, and returned in the sam(; ord(>r as before " towards the altar, repeating at the same time the 24th " Psalm, and after his Lordship had opened the service ♦' peculiar to the occasion at the altar, the endowment of the " Church, and other instruments were then presented to " him, by the lion. Sir George Pownall, knight, the Hon. " John Craiuie, and Mr. Sewell, Attorney General, and the " former was read by the ' Official' The Cath(>dral service " was now performed by the officiating clergy, and the •' choir ; and was closed by an appropriate" and excellent " discourse by the ]x**n-d. Dr. ^Mountain, Lord Bishop s " Official, from 1st Kings, « chapter, 27th verse. The 86 '* whole was observed with the greatest jj^oocl order and " propriety and I'ormed a trnlj^ interesting and impressive " scene ; every one appearing to join in the service with that " devout earncvstness which was naturally to be expected " IVoni the solemnity of the occasion, and iVom the comfort " and blessing wliich they felt of ])eing provided, through " the boimty of our most gracious Sovereign, with a church " hi every respect suitable to the sacred character of a " place appropriated to the performance of Diviii" Worship." The organist was Dr. Bentley, who had a surpliced choir of 13 boys and 4 men. The Uevd. Mr. Fielde acted as pre- centor, and the Cathedral was opened with a full choral service, which it is said was regularb maintained as long as a clergyman could be ibund to conduct it. The surpliced clioir was kept up for some forty years. It is universally acknowledged that the acoustic qualities of the Cathedral " par excellence," are unsuri)a.ssed. Th<> edilice cost $80,000. When the iJishop was in England in 1808, he received a visit from the Hon. and Revd. Charles James Stewart, brother of the Earl of Galloway, who expn^ssed a desire to be employed in the diocese of (Quebec. lUiis oiler was gladly accepted and :\rr. Stewart proceeded to Quebec and was sent as a missionary to the borders of Lake Champlain, taking charge of 8t. Armands on Missisquoi Bay, where he was instrumental in the formation of new missions and the erection of several Churches, thus giving fresh impulse to religion and to the advancement of the established Church in the Eastern townships. While on a visit to England Mr. Stewart, succeeded in raising a fund for building Churches in Canada. On the IGth January, 1814, the Bishop's son, George Je- hoshaphat, was ordained priest and licensed as evenin<1<], to Cornwall, in Upper Canada, Ihf Revd. George returned to Quebec. The TUshop. who was at this time visiting in Jhigland, prevailed on the Government to institute the oifice of " Com- missary " or "Olhcial" for both Upper and Lower Canada. His son having been nominated to that of Lower Canada, in a measure somewhat relieved his Lordship of some of the necessary but arduous visitations throu^•h this exrensive diocese. These journeys, besides being attemb^d with a great deal of hardship and some danger when travelling in canoes, took up too much valuable time in slow transit from place to place. The parish of Quebec had been erected and delined in a certain " Reglement " of Sieur de Vaudreuil.

This room soon became too small and the whole house was then eonverted into a chapel and the Sexton transferred to oth.'r (puirtevs. This is the origin of St. Matthew's Church. The Bishop now advanced in y>'ars, wished to retire from active work, and when the Archdeacon was in l^higland in 1825, he tried to arrange lor his father's retirement, but the Government would not, hear of such a th.ag. Even whih' these negociations w<'re proceeding, and during his son s absence, the venerable Prelate and devoted servant of God was passing away forever to be at rest from his labors, dying at his residence, Marehmont, on the IGlh.Iune, 1825, at the age of 76. During the thirty-two years he presided over theSee of Queb.-e, the Church ha.l greatly increased throun'hout Canada,, nnmy n)issions were established ni remote parts and chur.-hes built ; he be-an his labors with only nine clergymen to assist him, hut at his death there were sixty-one ministers and two archdeacons in the diocese, with a corporation of the clergy in both Upper and Lower C\anada for the management of the Cier-y lleserv.vs. He li.\s buried within the Communion rails ol the Catliedral, at the foot of that line monument erected to his memory.

The following notice has been circulated on this melan- choly occasion : " C.\STLE OF St. Loris, Saturday, .June LstJi. 1825." "With sentiments of the deepest concern, the Lieutenant Governor notifies to the public the demise, on the night of Thursday last, of the IJight K<>verend the Lord Bishop of Quebec. In adverting to the unallected piety, extended charity, and long residence in this province of the late Bishop, the Lieutenant Governor conceives he only anti- cipates the unanimous feeling of this community, when he announces his desire that every practicable degree of respect and veneration should be manifested on this most distress- ing occasion, to the memorv of this excellent and lamented Prelate."

The Marim-rs' Chapel in Chaiiiplain street was huilt in 1881 iiiid consecrated on ih'd .lune, 1S.!2, and named St. Taul's. The Cathedral was closed iVoiii llic lih to iHth August, 18o3, lor alterations, consistinu' of ihe erection of additional galleries at the west end of the Church, on each side of the organ, desin'ned to accommodate the persons who sat on benches under the noi'th and south galleries, and the space occupied by these benches was pe\v'ed, and all the pews in the Church were inimhered. In April, 1884, St, IVter's Chai)el. combined with the Male Orphan Asylum, w;is opened in a stone house pur- chased from Mr. (leorge I'o/er, in "Rue do I'Kglise," St. Rochs. Bishop Mountain, on his return Irom England in 1887, brought witli him tl-" Rev. George Mackie, of Pembroke College, Cambridge, to be his examining chaplain and to assist him in the parish of Quebec, subsequently he named him his *' official." He also wished to have him appointed rector of Quebec, but the Crovernment would only do so by the sacrifice of the rector's salary, which \vas not thought advisable in the existing circumstances of the Church, so the Bisho[) remained Rector oi' Quebec.

The endi'avours of the P-lshop to obtain this object resulted in the .(.nsecralion of the Archdeacon Mountain, who was at that time in Enuland in connection therewith, under the title of Bishop <.f Montri-al. The ceremonv was performed by the Arch))ish.>p of Tan- terbuvy, at tlie Chapel of Lambeth Palace, on the 14th Feb., 1830. Th.' diocese was not divided, nor was any See erected at Montreal, but the new Bishop, with no .separate Jurisdiction, nor salary, was simply a [.pointed to assist Bishop Stewart, by a commission from him, to such an extent as mig'ht be necessary, thus relicvin- him of the charue of the Lower ProviiUH'and also i.ssistinii- in the Upper. Bishop Mountain had also power to administer the alfairs of the diocese in the event of his survi\ in-' the former till a successor to *he See of Quebec should be appointed. Bishop Mountain remained in I'hiuiland till the end of July and arrived in Quebec on Sunday, llth September. On the following- Sunday the letters patent of the Bishop of Montreal and also his commission from the Bishop of Quebec appointing- him Coadjutor, were read in the Cathe- dral after the Nicene Creed. The health of Bishop Stewart had become so enfeebled 9G l 1 •■"'■! it )>A///- -I ^.v<'. 1 "1-^jAj'}^' ^ that he went to England that i'all and died in London at the residence of his nephew, the Earl of Galloway, and was l)uried in the family vault, at the cemetery on the Harrow lload. The Quebec Gazelle thus relates : — " In every office '■ that he lilled, Ironi that of nussionary in the woods to that " which i)lact'd him ;it the head of the Church in Canada, " he was alike humble, charitable, laborious, devoted, full oi " ardent zeal for the ulory of his heavenly Master and over- " flowing- with benevolence to men. He was a shining ex- " ample of the efficiency of the faith of the Gospel, and in " the approaches of dissolution, it was that faith, and not " any reliance upon himself or his own perlormances, which " sustained and refreshed him. During- his episcopate the " Church in Canada hud continued to ])rou'ress ; when he " left the diocese the Clergy numbered eighty-live, of whom " thirty-four were in the Lower Province." The Bishop of Montreal, under that title, now presided over the diocese of Quebec. In May, l8oS. Bishop Moun- |-_ tain removed from town to Marehmont, on the St. Louis Ivoad, Quel)ec, ^vhere he resided for about four years. The laying of t he eoriK-r stone of t he Rectory or Parsonage House took place on li'th July, 1S41, and is thus recorded in the columns of the (Quebec Mvrrurij : — " On the 12th instant, at o o'clock, P.M.. was laid the " corner stone of a Rectory House in the Par-sonage lot ad- " joining the ehurchyardof the Cathedral of this city, l)y the " Right Reverend the Lord liishop of Montreal, in presence " of the Church-V/ardens, the vi^stry :ind some members of " the Congregation.

The Rectory was completed in 1H;42, and the Bishop, by an arrangement with the vestry, voluntarily agreed to pay an annual rent of JLIUO and resided there. This money was devoted to the payment of the balance of the co^t of the building, which in a few years was paid oil. and the annual rent allowed to accumulate, when a resolution was passed at a meeting- of the Vestry, held <>u 81st Octo))er, 1855, creating it the Rectory Endowment Fund. During his visitation to the city of Montreal in 1842, the Bishop or-anized the Church Society of the Diocese of 98 Quebec, at a largo meeting convened there on the 7th July for that purpose. St. Peter's Chapel having been condemned as unsafe, the property was returned to the Ibrmer proprietor, when tht> present site on St. Valier street was purchased, and the <'orner stone laid on 25th July, 1842. On his return from Jled River, the Bishop laid th«» found- ation stone of Bishop's College, Leimoxville, 18th Septem- ber, 1844, and on 1st November, he consecrated the Chapel adjoining the Rectory, naming it All Saints' Chapel. The paid choir seems to have been abolished for it is stated in the Vestry minutes : that in 1844, Lieut. Whitman, of H. M. 1st Royals, furnished a choir from the regiment, and that on their leaving Quebec, a testimonial vi's pre- sented to him and his choir for their valuable services; also, that Mr. Archi])ald Campbell then organized the voluntary choir and received the thanks of the Easter meeting of the Congregation, on the 24th March, 1845. That year, two disastrous conliagrations ravaged the city, the first on the 28th May, swept St. Roch.?, when St. Peter's Chapel was burnt ; and on the 28th June, St. John's suburbs was consumed, St. Mathew's Chapel sharing the same fate as St. Peter's ; but help came from, afar, for the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, g-^nerously granted illOO sterling to each of those chapels, ay soon as funds would bt* raised for re-building them, also a grant of prayer bookt io the value of c£20 towards replacing those lost in the fires. St. Peter's was re-oi)ened on 2()th Sei)tember, 184G, but the corner stone of St. Matthew's was not laid till 25th July, 1848. A new^ organ was imported from England for the Cathe- dral at a cost of jC872, and was opened on Sunday, 19th Sep- tember, 1847. The old instrument was sold to the Roman Catholic Church at Lotbiniere, when it was repaired and proved to be an excellent instrument. It is still in use, (1891.; -'>m 99 [h July aie, the len the iiid the ^ foiuid- M'ptem- Chapel or it is hitman, gimeiit, 8s pre- !S ; also, luntary J of the he city, Peter's juburbs me fate iety for idXlOO ould bt' ookt to 5 fires. ^40, but th July, !

It was so fatal that some oOOO ol' them lie buried on the island. The Bishop look his turn along xvith the clergy of the Diocese in ministering to these alllicted people, and six devoted servants oi' God fell victims to the disease, the Eeverend Messrs. Dawes, Chaderton. Lloyd, WiUoughby, Morris and Anderson. A portion of the burying ground on Charlesbourg road, attached to the Marine Hospital for the burial of strangers, was set apart for the Churrh of England, and was con- secrated by the Bishop on !tth Novembi r, 1848. The long soug-ht for division of the dioc»\se was accom- plished, and on^25th July, 185o, Dr. Fiillbrd was consecra- ted in Westminster Abbey, Bishop of Montreal. ^ Fresh letters patent had been issued appointing liishop Mountain to the See of Quebec, and he was formally en- throned in the Cathedral on 21st September. The Diocese of Quebec comprises the county of St. Maurice and all east thereof on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic ; on the South Snore the counties of Nicolet, Drummond, Richmond. Sherbrooke. Staiistead and all east including Gaspesia and the MagdaliMi Islands. St. Michael's Chapel, opi)Osite Mount llermou Cemetery, was built in 1854. In 1857, the Cathedral underwent a thorough repair and was freshly painted. The pews, which were uncomfortably hio-h, were lowered to 3 reet 8 inches and book boards placed in^'eJch. All Saints' Chap.^l was repaired at the same time and six stalls for the Bishop and clergy ])U1 in and the walls were wainscotted.

The chai)laincy had l)een established on the 20th February, 1854, and maintained by a grant of •^2(!0 per annum from the " Society for the Propagation ol' the Gospel in Foreign Parts," and a salary of .^144 from the Government which appointifd the Chaplain at the nomination of the Bishop of Quebec. The chapel was ready for sei'vice in 1859, and on 23rd Novem- ber, the Chaplain, Revd. Gilbert Percy, petitioned the Bishop to consecrate it, which ceremony was performed on 7th De- cember, 1859, and named St. Luke's Chapel. The hospital was closed in the fall of 1889, by the Department of Marine, and in the spring of 1891, was under certain conditions transferred lo tin' city for a civic hospital. and the Rxamiii- useman, a names imes in everend ly, R.

Bishop Mountain completed the 50th anniversary of his mmistrv, xviien an address was presented to him by the Diocesan Synod, m tlie Lec-ture HaB. now Tara Hall, St. Anne street, and at hali-past ten divine service was celebrated in Hie Cathedral. A very large congregation was present, including Lord Monck, Governoi-Gi'neral, and thirty-live of the Diocesan Clergy, an eloquent sermon was preached by the Right Revd. Dr. John Williams, Assistant Bishop of Connecticut. At the close ot the service, the Bishop attended by the Clergy =uid Con- gregation, proceeded to the Finlay Asylum, on St. toy Road, which had only been recently iinished, and formally opened that institution with a special service. Towards the end of December, Bishop Mountain took ill and died at his residence, Woodlield, on Oth January. 1863. at the age of 7^ vears, and the funeral took place at 10.80 AM of Tuesdav, 13th. There were many who regretted that the Bishop was not buried in the Cathedral, beside his father, l)ut it was according to his own expressed wish that he rests at the side of his wife in Mount Ilermon. The churchmen of Quebec placed to his memory, in the chancel of the (^athedral, that beautiad stained glass vvin- dow representing the Ascension, Transiiuuration and Bap- tism of our Lord; and inscribed thereon. '' To the glory o - God and in grateful remem'orance of George Jehoshaphat " Mountain, lU)., sometime I'.ishop of this appointmenl of Canauian Bishops rested with the British ( lovcrnuMMit, hut on the l-'Jth June. 1856, an act was i>assed by both Houses ol' the Provincial Parlia- ment, (1!» and 2(1 Victoria, cap. 141), to enable the members oi'the united Chnr.h oj' Enuland and Ireland in Canada to meet in Synod, and the Sjnods of the several dioceses were permitted to el-el their own Bishops, Her Majesty the Queen ratiiyinn- the appointment. Therefore by article 9 of the constitution of th.' Synod of the diocese of Quebec, the assistant-minister of the ''Jathedral called a special meet- ing of the Synod for the 4th March, lS(j;',, for the purpose of electing- a successor to the late Bishop. At the eleventh ballot, iorty-one clergymen and sixty-two of the lay delegates beinu- present, the Revd. J. W. Wilfiams, M.A.. professor of lielles-Lettres in the University of Bishop's Collegv, Lennoxvillc, and Rector of the Junior J3epartment, was declared by the secretaries, Bishop elect, by a clerical vote of 28 and a lay vote of 52. It was moved by Revd. H. Roe and secondeti jy :\Ir. H. S. Seott, that the election be unanimously concurred in, which was carried by all standing-. It was then moved })y :V[r. G-eorge Irvine, seconded by Revd. Charles Hamilton and carried :—" That " the form of petition n^commended by the Provincial " Synod be adopted, and after having been signed by the " President, (Revd. a. V.

Her Majesty's mandate arrived on the 16th June, 186;], and the consecration was arranged to take place on Sunday ,' the ^Ist inst., thus givino- time for the Metropolitan, and all 10;^ the Bishops in Canada, as well as the clergy and lay delegates of the Synod to be presenl.^ The Revd.Cr. V. Houseman, curate ol' the Cathedral, was appomted X Rccior ofQut^bec. Among other objects ol" interest in the Cathedral, are those old tattered colours, bearing the records of the battles in which IT. M. OlUh Jli'iit. was present. On the return of the 69th from repelling the Ionian invasion in June, 1870, on the Huntingdon Frontier, II. R. H. Prince Arthur, then Lieutenant in the J*. C. O. llille Brigade, presented the Regiment with a new stand of colours. The old ones were, on the 22nd, deposited in t lie Cathedral with an interesting and imposinu' ceremony :--Thp Rector and clergy had taken their position within thf altar rails, when the Captain commanding the escort knocked at the main door ; the Rector ^hen desired the Church Wardens, R.

To which the Rector replied : — Iijfonn \AA\)\. Hagot, that we receive those colours as a " sacred tru.st, not only as emblems of loyalty, Christianity " and civilization, but in remembrance of a Regiment which " has been conspicuous in repelling a recent invasion of'this " FroviiK »'. Whose conduct has been characterized by a " singular regard of order and regularity, and which by its " general bearing, has deservedly won the highest esteem " of every member of this community."' The cl(M'gy then in procession advanced to the main door of the Cathedral and returned followed by the escort and colours, the familiar strain of " Home, Sweei Home," pealing from the organ. When the clergy had resumed their ])laces within the railing, the colours were handed to the Rector, the escort presented arms, and the National Anthem was played on the organ. The service then opened with a hymn, followed by ai)propriate prayers and concluded with an eloquent address ])y the Rector. The organ, which had been in use since 1847, was found to be very much out of order and that it would be advisable to obtain a modern instrument : for that purpose, an influ- ential member ^ of the Congregation generously placed five thousand dollars in the hands of the Church Wardens. The services of Mr. Warren, organ builder, were called in and it was found that many of the old pipes were in perfect condition ; these were utilised and, with the new ones, were enclosed in a handsome new case, thus making a fine instru- ment valued at $7,000. It was opened in 1871, and pro- nounced by experts to be one unexcelled in sweetness anc^ volume of tone. • R. R.

At the Easter meeting of tJth April. 1885, a committee was named to tiike the necessary steps to have such appoint- ments come under this Canon, whose report was unanim- ously adopted at the Easter meeting of 2(jth April, lb8G, and the necessary resolution was passed at the annual meeting of the Church Society, 2nd February, 1887, and ratilied by the Bishop. The Jubilee of Her Imperial Majesty, Queen \'ictoria, was celebrated on the 21st June, 1887, in the parish of Qu.'bec by a united service in the Cathedral. A very large con- gregation iilled the church, all the clergy of the parish being present; those taking part in the service were the Revds. H. J. retry, Kichardson, Rextbrd, Von liiland and Bareham. The Kevd. M. M. Fothergill preached an eloquent sermon from Proverbs XXIX. 2, after which the jubilee ver- sion of the National Anthem was stmg amid the chiming of the Cathedral bells and the booming of a Royal salute from the guns of the Citadel. The Rector of (^U(>bec. Kevd. George Vernon llousman died at thi^ Rectory, on 2tJth September, 1887, at the age of 07 years. He was a u'raduatc of St. John's College, Cam- bridge, and was appointed assistant minister at the Cathedral in October, 1858, and at the death of Bifshop Mountain, was inducted Rector of Quebec. lOG Accordiiii!: to st^ction 8 of th»' XIII Canon of the Synod, tho Board ol' Coiunirrcnco I'or appointinii- a Rector waselod- od bv tho Congregation ^ on tho ir)th ()(!tohor, which rv suited in tli<> unanimous nomination of the Revd.

He became assistant and afterwards head master of Radley College, which position he held from 18r)'2 to 1806, when he came to Canada on a visit, but finding the climate so beneficial to his coustitution decided to remain, and for a time assisted the Revd. Mr. Wood, of St. John's Church, at Montreal, as a volunteer. Subse<|uently he was appoint- ed assistant minister at the C^hurch of St, James, where he remained for many years. Leaving this he accepted a call to that of St. Mathias, Cote St. Antoine, from which he came to Christ Church Cathedral. Outside of the Ministry ])r.
