TORONTO I 21 & 23 Wellington Si. 28 & 30 Front St. Patent, with a f,'rant of lands which, at the reciufst of the Parliament of Upper Canada, had been set apart by tlie Crown for that purpose in 1798. In 1843, the arrangenients having been coniph;ted for opening the University, the formal inauguration of the Institution and first admission of students took phice on thr 8th of June of that year, and its first Convocation on the Htli of December, 1844. In 1849 the Parliament of Canada, in compliance with the Imperial recommendation "to consider in what manner the University could be best constituted for the benefit of the wluih' society," abolished .sudh restrictions ns made agreement with the Tliirty-nine Articles of the Church of England compulsoiy on professors and the holders of scholarships, changed the name from "King's Collcu'c." and enlarged the powers of Convocation under the title of the University of Toronto. In 1&53, Parliament, by an Act, separated the functions of the University from those a.ssigned to it as a College. At the same time the Faculties of Law and Medicine were abolished in the College, although the University continues to hold c.\aniinations !ind to grant scholarships, medals ivnd degrees in those subjects. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE. On the first establishment of the Provincial University, the functions of instruction, and of examining for honours and degrees, were continued under the Act of 1849. With a view of adajiting the University to a system of affiliated CoUesres, the functions were separated, and University College was established as a distinct Collegiate Institution. Tiie Senate, which is the governing body of the University, was remodelled about eighteen months ago by Act of Parliament. The Government of the Province retained ts right to nominate a certain nunil)ei of Senators, and the affiliated Colleges have also representatives. Hut on the other hand, the rights of the Grjuhiatcs, sitting in Convo- cation, have been recognized ; they have the privilege of advising the S(>nate in matters relating to the general good of the University, and even of jwissiiig a veto upon the affiliation of Colleges. Tlie Graduates have also the right of voting for about a third of the Senate. These were originally elected in a body, but a certain proportion of them will go out yearly, although eligible for re-election. University College is governed by a Council, consisting of the President and Professors. -lie University Buildings are deservedly considered to be the chief architectural ornament of the city. The front of the building is of roug'i-hewn Ohio fre^ stone, which gives the whole a solid and massive appearance. The style is lloinanes'itie, and the noble S(piare tower which rises from the centre of the splendid pile may be seen far out in the lake. A fuller description of the building will be found ^vhere we speak of the Park. The architect was Col. V. W. Cumberland, now General Manager of the Northern Railway and Aidc-de-Camp to his Excellency the Governor-General. MAGNETIC OBSERVATORY. In close proximity to the University building stands the Magnetic Observatory, founded liy tin- Imperial Government in 1846. Tiie present building, which was com- menced in 18,55, is ili by 44 feet, of one story, and having a tower at the north-west angle. It is divided into several departments for marking the transit, the declinatiou, the horizontal magnetic intensity, and other astronomical and meteorological purposes, and is very complete in all its departments. Grent progress haii been made of late years in meteorology. The encouragement given by the Government to the study of the science by masters of the High Schools, and the connection established with the Signal Bureau at Washington, have given an inii)etus to the subject, the importance of which cannot be overrateil. At present reports are exchanged by telegraph from every part of tlie Doniinirn, and the weather predictions are thus becoming more and more reliable. This Institution was Lieutenant-Governor of UPPER CANADA COLLEGE. 1S29, by intended established in the year 1S29, by Sir John Colborne, then Upper Canada.

About 2,600 pupils liave been entered on its books, a goodly pro- portion of whom liave filled, or fill the most distinguished positions in the Province. Until the city acquired wider and grander proportions, this College, or Royal Grammar School, stamliiig opposite the Government buildings on King street, was long a chief ornament at the west end ; the grounds in which it stands measure nine acres. The buildings consist of a series of brick structures ; that in the centre is the College proper, with its [warding hall adjacent, and residences of the Masters on eitlier side ; the cost was $80,000. This College is ami)ly endowed. Its Officers consist of a Principal and »■ arge staff of Masters. The average number of students is about two hundred. UNIVERSITY OF TRINITY COLLEGE. This Institution owes its existence chiefly to the persevering eff'orts of the late Right Reverend Dr. Strachan, the first Lord Bishop of Toronto, to repair what he, and Episcopalians in general, believed to have been an act of grievous injustice to the English Church in Upper Canada, by the secularization of the endowments of King's College, and their transfer to the University of Toronto. Sufficient funds were provided oy voluntary gifts of money from Great Britain and lands in the Province, to build and endow the new Institution. It stands at a short distance eastward from the Asylum on Queen Street West. KNOX COLLEGE. This institution was founded in 1844, by the " Free Church of Scotland," owing to the disruption which occurred in the previous year in the Scottish Established Cliurch. The union which was effected some years ago between the United Presbyterians and the Free — the two going under the name of "Canada Presbyterian Church"— lius resulted in large benefits to Knox's College, and to the religious community so widely spread in Canada, whose Ministers are there educated. Knox College formerly occupied the building which some years ago was the Vice- Regal residence, belonging to the Elmsley estate. It has, however, been found inconvenient and too small for the increasing number of students. A fine building is now nearly completed on College street, a continuation of the Yonge strep+ rm of the College avenue. It is situated on a circular piece of giound at the liead of ripadina avenue, and almost westward of the University DuilJings. The building is of white brick with cut stone dressings. Its extreme dimensions are 230 feet front, with wings at each end of about 120 feet in length. The central tower is 160 feet in height, anil the eastern 100 feet high. The building has accommodation for eighty resident students. There are six large Class Rooms, large Library and Museum, and a Convocation Hall capable of seating 500 persons. This edifices when completed, will be one of the most imposing and beautiful in Canada, and reflects credit on the architects and all connected in its erection. The cost will be in the proximity of $100,000. Messrs. Smith & Gemmell, Toronto, are the architects. ST. MICHAEL'S COLLEGE. This College was oi>ened in 1852, by the Fathers of the Order of St. Basil, under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Church, and was incorporated by Act of Parliament in 1854. The corjioration consists of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Toronto and tlie Superior and Professors of the College, and may hold property to the value of £1,000 currency per annum. It is situated on Clover Hill, some distance to the north of the College avenue, and forms a fine pile of buildings. THE SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY, Founded for the purpose of giving practical instruction in the application of the experimental sciences to the purposes of manufacturing and mechanical industry, is for the present held in the Mechanics' Institute, on tlie comer of Church and Adelaide streets, a little to the north of St. James' Cathedral. Experimental Lectures are- delivered here regularly on Chemistry, Natural Philosophy (including Mechanics), and instruction is also given in Architectural and Mechanical Drawing. 24 ' mm" wMHijini n JAMES D.

Of these, li: addition to that in connection with Trinity College, there are at present two : — The Toronto School of Medicine, established in 1843, incorporated in 1851, and atliliated to the University of Toronto in 1853 ; and the Victoria School of Medicine, a brancii of the Victoria College, Cobourg, whicli was removed to Toronto and established here under the late Dr. Holph. Tiie former School occupies a brick building in the Park, once used as the temporary home of University College. The Victoria School is in Yorkville. OSGOODE HALL AND THE LAW SOCIETY. At the head of York street, and visible from tlie Kossin lljuse, is Osgnode Hall, the home of hiw, wliere the Courts sit in banc and the Incorporated Law Society conducts the examinations for admission to the profession. Tiie building is in itself an imposing one, especially the centre portion. The wingK belong to the older building, and are not so worthy of notice, but the main structure is deserving of a visit from strangera. The handsome front, the elegantly paved and ornately finished vestibule, tiie portraits of tiie Judges and the si»lendid Library, with a view of the Courts when tliey happen to be sitting, will amply repay the visitor. The Law Society, which was incorporated so far back as 1797, resembles in its legal position an English Inn of Court. It has the entire control of tlie profession, prescrib- ing the terms of admission, receiving the fees pai^l at entrance and annually from attorneys, and is, tlierefore, one of the wealthiest corporations in the Provinc(\ Within the past few years, the constitution of the governing body — the Benchers, as they are called — has been considerably changed by the partial adoption of a represent.ative system, somewhat similar to tliat introduced at the University and the Normal School. THE MECHANICS' INSTITUTE. This institution was foinidctl in 1830 and incorporated in 1847. For many years the building on Court street, since occuiiied as a Police Court and Fire Hall, was its home. The erection of the new building witli the Music Hall was a subject of general congratu- lation but the debt which crippled the resources of the C(n'poration sadly interfered with its success. On the last removal of the Government to Toronto, the new edifice was It-t to the Province on the condition that it sliould be finally completed from the public funds. Since that period, as we have already menti(jned, it has been occupied, at least in its main portions, by the School of Technology, brighter days, however, appear to be in store for this valuable institution. Tin; Library and Keading-rooni are fully up to the recpiirements of the time, and the prospects are that, at no distant time, the Institute will possess its property free from encuini)rance. The educational lectures delivered and the prizes awarded for proficiency in their various subjects are also worthy of n^ention as proof of the energy and zeal of the Directors. THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE, Which can hardly boast of a presentable home of its own, is an institution of somewhat higher pretensions. Having its origin in 1849 amongst the members of the Engineers and Surveyors, it from the first took a high position. In 1851 it became more general in character; and on the 4tli of November of that year a Royal Charter was obtained, defining the objects of the Institute to be — the promotion of the Physical Sciences ; the encouragement and advancement of the Industrial Arts ancl Manufactures ; the forma- tion of a Provincial Museum, and the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge con- nected with the Surveying, Engineering, and Architectural professions. In 1855 it was amalgamated with the Toronto Athenmum. There is also a Medical Suction connected with the Institute, in which professional subjects are regularly discussed. Many other associations of a literary character exist in connection with the Universities and Colleges, the Churches and the Law Society. So far as the last-named is concerned, a great stimulus has been given to the desire of improvement by law students, from the intro- duction of annual instead of merely terminal examinations.

They are laid out witli admirable taste, and Hhould certainly be seen by visitors, especially when thf Autumn Exhibition or one ot'tlie periodical concerts is held there. Beginning now at the wesi end of the city with the public buildings, the first to be noticed is tne PROVINCIAL LUNATIC ASYLUM. This institution, which first assumed a public character in 1841, is supported from the public funds, by a grant annually niaile by the Provincial Legislature. The present gigantic building was commenced in 1845. Since that period, however, it has been found necessary to enlarge it, notwithstanding its original dimensions. From the ends of the former building i)rojeot wings stretching southward, capable of accommodating several hundred additional jtatients. At the present time it contains between six and seven hundred within its walls. Under the admirable superintendence of Dr. Workman it is kept in excellent order, in scrupulous cleanliness, and with tlie most liumane care of the patients who have the misfortune to be inmates there. Immediately south of the Asylum are THE PROVINCIAL EXHIBITION BUILDINGS, Which will naturally prove a principal attraction for visitors in Fair time. It is called also the Crystal Palace, although that is a palpable misnomer. Situated at the extreme west end of King street, it may be reached from the Asylum by the Queen street cars, or should the King street line be laid in time, more directly by it. The main building is 250 feet in length by about 130 feet in greatest width at the transept. The frame work is of cast iron, tlie roof being tinned and tlie sides glazed. Altogether it covers an acre of ground. The iir way up Sinie.oe street, where the tirst thing that strikes the eye i» the pile i)f liuildings devoteil to tlie (Jovernment and Parliament of Ontario.

Tlie huildings which form the east and west wings an? occupied liy the Departnu'uts,— the east(Tn por':ion of the nniin building i<< the chamlxn* of tlie House of Assemhiy. We may add that, under the intidligent supervision of Mr. S. ,1. Watson, tlie liluarian, a valuable collection of hooks and doeumcnts has been already made, increasing in V(jlunie and importunce every year. To the northward of the Parliament lUiildings are THK aOVKllNMKNT HOUSK AND GUOUNDS. The building is in every respect worthy of its object and eruduable to the people of Ontario. It is, for the most part, Lombard in style, and presents a dignitied front to the [lassers by. Tiie beautiful grounds have been remlered still more attra(!tive by the erection of a conservatory and vinery, and the additional care bestowed upon them. The illumination of tlie building, when His Excellency the Earl of Dutferin made his oitrCr into tlie city, was worthy of the Government, and displayed the graceful outlines of the mansion to gre.it advantage. Immediately north of (ioveriimeiit House, on King btreet also, is old UPPEU CANADA COLLElJE. It bears a family resemblance to the Parliament Buildings. The contns portion of the building is the school proper, the detached housi.'s to the right and left are the resi- dences of the master.s. There is a well-kept boarding-house attached, and iv splendid ymnasium and cricket-ground. In spite of the homeliness of its abiding phice, the rovince owes a great debt of gratitude to Upper Canada College — the Eton or Win- chester which has given the lirst steps in training to many of the country's most illus- trious sons. Acu'oss .John street diagonally, may be seen a specimen of what Ontario can do for her younger sons, by the erection of Public Sidiools. Another, of later con- struction, is on York street, just south of Csgoode Hall ; but they abound in every quarter of the city. Passing the three large hotels, which occupy three of the corners of York street, we arrive at the old Temple of Thespis, now again risen from its ashes. We may therefore speak here of our placp:s of amusement since they are all contained within a limited space. The iirst, to give precedence to age, is the PiOYAL OPERA HOUSE, situate about half way between York and Bay streets, on the site of the old Royal Lyceum. Why the name has been changL'd we know not ; but we do not think it an improvement, because we are attached to associations (;onne('ted with the old title, however that may be, the building will be a credit to the city. Instead of the old cramped-np and not over cleanly place, we have an edifice 140 feet deep, 0'> feet wide, and 63 feet high. We have not s]iace to enter upon a minute description of the interior of the building, bnt we may say that the decorations, the fittings and the appointments generally, could not be better than they are.

The drop scene, "Tlie Luke of Como,"byMr, Pigott, is especially good, and our old dramatic house will, under judicious mauage- luenl, be ecliiised by the brilliant triumph of its successor. THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE. This house, the home of the lyric drama especially, has long been wanting in Toronto. A few years ago, a number of gentlemen of means, who felt interested in opera, con- ceived the design of establishing a iittiiig edifice, with the oiiera as its (listinctive feature. A company was immediately incorporated for the purpose, and it was with "reat satisfaction the public learned that the management was to he entrusted to Mrs. Morrison, who as Miss Charlotte Nickinson, in conjunction with her father and sisters, had so often delighted them in years gone by, ' lie result is a building on Adelaide St., a door or two from Yonge street, which is a credit to the architects and to the company who have come forward wi*"h the means. Here again we cannot enter into details for want of space. V/ e may say, however^ that the stage is 50 feet by 34, and that in decorations and g( nal f'.'iish there is nothing left to desire. During the season we are promised the aitpciuaii'M" of eminent artistes who have never trod Toronto boards before. The name of Jilr. 'jDuldock is a tower of strength in itself, and we are sure tliat Mrs. Morrison's e.\perience and ability will make the Opera House a great success. THE QUEEN'S THEATRE "Was established to supply a great want when the old Lyceum was destroyed by fire. It is fitted up with great taste, and under Mr. S])ackman's direction has been a great success. It is situated nearly opposite the old Theatre on King street, liaving been cleverly improvised out of the old Drill Shed. THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC Is a house devoted to the minor drama, vaudeville, singing and ballet. It has been conducted with great spirit by the lessee, Mr. Z. R. '^riganne, who has startled his patrons by the rapid succession of his novelties. It is situated on Colborne street, immediately in the rear of the Terrapin, and is approached by the lane which runs past the Leader office, opposite Toronto street. During the Fair week there will probably be concerts at the Horticultural Gardens and in the Music Hall. In the latter, it is likely that the PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY Will give their first performance of the season — the oratorio of "The Creation,'' with full chorus and orchestra. Under the able and energetic leadership of Mr. F. H. Torrington, the organist of the Metropolitan Church, this Society has achieved a success denied to its predecessors. During the season, "The Messiah" of Handel, Mendelssohn's " St. Paul," and a new English cantata "Floridin,"' are promised^ Before we go to Yonge street on our journey eastward we must have something to say of _ THE CHURCHES. These divide themselves, so far as the centre of the city is concerned, into two groups, of which we take the first here. Going up I3ay street, from King, past the Mail office, which stands on the corner, we first reach Zion Church, a very neat and chaste edifice belonging to the Congregational body. It stands upon the site of the old structure, destroyed some years ago by fire. It originally boasted of a tall, tapering spire, but this was thrown down by a violent gale. Its foundation was turned into a tower with four pinnacles. Turning round the corner of the Fire Hall, we reach the Methodist New Connexion Church, on Temperance street. It has also suffered by fire, but, as rebuilt and improved, it is a fine building without pretensions. At the corner of Bay and Richmond streets is the ^ 32 ' .' \ / Chickering Pianosi Steinway Pianos, Dunham Pianos, Haines Pianos, Mason 6l Hamlin Organs^ Prince Organs. DEPOT FOR THE DOMINION: A. & S.

J OHN MAGDONALD & CO. TORONTO : 21 & 23 Wellington St., 28 & 30 Front St. Bay Street Presbyterian Church, originally belonging to the United Presbyterians, now amalgamated under the union with the Canada Presbyterian Church. This is a plain edifice, with a tower, and is not architectuially noticeable. A few doors down is the Richmond Street Wesleyan Church, until the erection of the Metropolitan the largest Methodist Church in the city. It has recently entered upon a new lease of life by internal renovations and improvements, and presents a very pleasing appearance within. On the other side of the street, but fronting on Queen street, is Knox Church, the chief Presbyterian place of worship in Toronto. It is a well ■designed edifice in every respect. The spire is one of the most graceful in the city, and the sonorous bell is rung three times a day, in addition to its church duty, to the advantage of the citizens. Internally, its appearance is very attractive, the carved pulpit and the wings which are connected witli it, covering the vestries, nic especially admired. Within a year a very graceful addition has been made to the Clairch at its Eichmond street end This new building contains a Lecture Room and Sunday School Room, Class Rooms, and offices for general Church purposes. Perhaps the only objec- tion to this tasteful addition is that it, in some respects, spoils the effect of the Church, which was not only handsome but complete in itself. The spire is viewed to best advantage from Queen street, and from it an excellent view of Toronto may be had. On the other side of Queen street, at the corner of James street, is a very attractive building which belongs to the YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. Though not a Church, this building is intimately connected with the interests of religion. It contains a free library and reading-room, rooms ♦""'• conversation and priiyer, and a large hall, named after the benevolent Earl of Shaftesbury, in which free weekly lectures are given. Every opportunity is afforded young men of avoiding the temptations in a large city, and a register is kept to facilitate their employment by the merchants and tradesmen of the city. Looking up James street the visitor will catch a glimpse of the Holy Trinity Church, which owed its origin to an English lady. The services are choral and the clergymen connected with it belong to the High Church. BANKS AND COMMERCE, &c f Passing from Yonge street towards the bay, the reader will find evidences of the pros- perity of this great northern artery of the city. Below King street, he will come upon the wholesale houses and banking establishments. Of the former, an adequate idea will be gathered by walking down to Front street, then up to Bay street, down again to the Market and back by Wellington street. Of the latter, the finest example is the splendid edifice erected by the Bank of British North America, on the corner of Yonge and Wei- THE CE]S^TI^i^L FHARIVIACY, COR. QUEEN & ELIZABETH STREETS.

The Bank of Montreal, the Merchants' Bank and the Bank of Commerce, all in close proximity, are are also worthy of notice. THE NEW CUSTOM HOUSE Now in course of erection on the south-west corner of Yonge and Front streets, deserves- particular attention. There is a substantiality about it which, we trust, is emblematical of the stability of our commercial prosperitjr. From the foundation, which rests upon the solid rock, upward eve"ytliing has been designed so as to endure. The building has not a heavy apjiearance, though built of Georgetown stone. The style is that of the Eeiiais- sauce, and the windows have been relieved by decorations of a light and graceful charac- ter. In addition to tasteful representation of foliage, the heads, carved in stone, of the- worthies of the mediteval time, as well as the mariners, from Frobisher, Drake andi Raleigh down to Nelson, will be found there. A Mansard roof will surmount the whole. Peturning to King street, which we need not describe at length, because readers cam peer into shop windows for themselves, we proceed up Toronto street, to an edifice already; visible from King street, THE NEW POST OFFICE, situated in a commanding position on Adelaide street, and facing the chief thoronghfarp. The building, which has a frontage of 75 feet on Adelaide street, is constructed in front of Ohio stone and is in the Italian style. It is three stories in height, surmounted by ar Mansard roof, above which rises a dome 32 feet wide by 36 in height. The building is 56 feet high to the roof and 92 to the top of the dome. In de])th it is 66 feet with a one story continuation to Stanley street, making in the whole 108 feet. This latter portion loniis what is known as "the back office," or sorting department It has a flat roof with a sky-light covered with galvanized iron. Besides the dome, there are towers at each of the angles, and similar towers connect the back and front portions of the building together. The front office, devoted to the public, 70 feet wide and 60 deep, contains tlin deliveries, alphabetical (2), the ladies' delivery, the box delivery for unpaid letters, the registered letter and money order departments. The arrangements are very perfect, anJ every satisfaction is given to the public, whether in answer to enquiry or the delivery of letters. The office is very tastefully fitted, the finishing being of black walnut, and every box has now a grated door, of which the owner possesses three keys. Of the other portions of the office, we have no space left to speak in detail, but must pass on in our' city tour.

Going down towards King street we pass the Masonic Hall, erected in 1858, faced with Ohio stone. Its dimensions are 102 by 75 feet. The ground Hoor is occupied by offices ; upstairs the lia ■•' ^ body occuiiy spacious lodge and business rooms. The rest of the building is- let for jirofessional and mercantile purposes. Having now regained King street, we shall proceed at once to the ST. LAWRENCE HALL AND MARKET. The butchers' market is a long arcade with two wings at its southern extremity. Outside, the market gardners on the one side, and the farmers' waggons on the other, are ranged for the sale of their various commodities. In the front of the building is the St. Lawrence Hall, once the only room which could be used for concerts, balls or public meetings ; but it has fallen into the sere and yellow leaf — in other words, has so fallen into decay that it is seldom used for any public purpose. This hall is 100 feet by 38. The main building is 140 feet on King street, by 75 on the side streets ; the front consisting of a portico of 1 2 pilasters, supporting a pediment, in the centre of which the city arms are cut in stone. The whole is capped by a cupola, containing a bell and clock. On this bell the lire alarm is sounded, by striking the number of times indi- cating the number of the ward. The extension in the rear is 200 feet in length, giving to the area, which traverses both this portion and the main building, a total length of 275 feet. THE CITY HALL, mmediately in the rear, is built of redbrick with stone dressings. It contains the Mayor's office, the Council Chamber and the city offices generally, not to speak of a Police Station in the basement. The vegetable and poultry market proper occupies a quadrangle in the centre. Looking towards Wellington street there are two buildings- deserving of notice, the splendid building erected on the corner of Scott street by the MONTREAL TELEGRAPH COMPANY. Here in a liandsome stone-faced building they gather and disseminate the news of' the world, public and private, with an accuracy and a regularity of despatch and delivery sur))rising when we consider the vast amount of business transacted by means of their wires.

We may mention that there are branch offices available for the trans- mission of messages at the railway stations, at the principal hotels, at the corner of Toronto and Adelaide streets and at 503 Queen street West. The other building to which we referred is THE EXCHANGE, Nearly opposite. It was erected in 1855, and contains the Merchants' Exchange, the Corn Exchange, the rooms of the Board of Trade and other oifices. The distinctive feature of ilic building is its Doric portico, otherwise it is not architecturally emarkable. Eastward of the City Hall there is much to remark. We have the Gas Works, which cover an area of tlirt-e acres, with a storage capacity of 10,000 tons; and we come, at the distance of a quarter of a mile, to the establishment of Messrs. Gooderham & Worts, the largest distillery jn'iliKps in America. The station of the Toronto and Nipissing Rail- way is immi'dintely West. In this connection we may also mention the brewery of Messrs. Thus. Davies & Uro., situated at the terminus of the street railway, Don Bridge. It is one of tliti In ripest and best breweries in the Province of Ontario; and the ale and porter iiianulactured there are unsurpassed in the Dominion. Returning upwards, by what used to be known as the Fair Green, we see the heavy stone wall of the OLD GAOL And the dark frowning building itself. Over that stone wall many a wretched criminal has been hurled into eternity from the platform of the gallows. The gaol has not been used for sonn' years ; it was last tenanted by the Fenian prisoners after the batt-o of Kidgeway.

J OHN TORONTO « \21&23Wellingion8i, MACDONALD & CO. j 28&30 Front St The little church to the Nortli of it is one of the oldest in the city, at one time the only Roman Catholic place of worship in it. It is called St. Paul's. Keturning to King street the visitor may, if he chooses, proceed to the Don Bridge, the scene of poor Hogan's murder. But as we have got upon the subject of churches we shall hasten to the corner of Church and King streets, and begin an examination of the- second group of which we have spoken. We are now in a position to take a glance at ST. JAMES' CATHEDRAL. This splendid Gothic temple, only just completed, is the successor of the modest building which perished in the greatest conflagration Toronto has ever seen — that of 7th April, 1849. Looking at it from the outside one cannot fail to be struck by the care with which all its details have been planned and executed. The handsome spire witli its gilded vane rises to the height of 316 feet from the ground ; yet, such is the massiveness of the tower, that most people would be disposed to doubt that this can be correct. There can, however, be no question of its truth. It cannot compare, it is- true, with some of the lofty spires of Europe, but it is higher than the towers of Norwich and Lincoln, and approaches within a comparatively few feet of the spires of Munich, Se- ville, Milan and Metz. It is eminently graceful in outli; e and finish ; its magnificent peal of bells are heard on Sunday, morn and eve, and hen the Vienna illuminated olock fills up those vacant boarded spaces, the magnificent structure will be comi)lete. As it stands at present, the spire is "sixteen feet higher than any other in North America," ninety-six feet higher than the highest in Montreal, and seventy feet higher than any other in Toronto. Another external feature must also be noticed. The pin- nacles, so long wanting, have appeared in their places, and the cruciform structure of the church has been completed by the erection of the side entrances. Internally the appearance of the Cathedral must be familiar to most of our readers. The nave is 70 feet in height, the aisles are 35. The length internally is 200 feet by 116. The chancel is the half of an octagon, with windows of the transition period. The massive pillars which divide the nave from the aisles, the sombre graining of the rafters and yews, and the magnificent organ whose tones thrill the heart, together impress the worshipper that he is indeed within the house of God. Under the pulpit, beneath the sacred build- ing, in whose erection he took so constant an interest, lies the Right Rev. John Strachan, D.D., iirst Bishop of Toronto. Proceeding up Church street to Adelaide street, we see on the corner the old Church of St. Andrew, always called affectionately "the Kirk." It has been found inadequate tO' the wants of the congregation, and will shortly be superseded by a finer building on another site. Opposite, within the Cathedral grounds, are the Parochial Schools and the Anglican Synod Hall and offices. On the opposite side, to the North, is the Me- chanics' Institute, with the Music Hall. Of these we have already spoken. Still to the North, passing two streets and reaching Queen, we are at McGill Square, face to- face with a noble structure belonging to the Wesleyan body, ROSSIN HOUSE, ZZXTG feet in extreme length, by 115 in width, inclmling the transepts. The eastern window is highly ornamental, lieing 3(5 feet high and 18 wide. The nave within is 170 feet liy 4i), in area, and 63 in height, with rich ceiling, piers and arches. Without, its appearance is exceedingly chaste : there is an absence of superfluous ornamentation which at once pleases the eye. Perhaps the most elaborate portion is th«, graceful spire, surmounted by a golden cross which glows and blushes in the rays of the setting sun. Internally, the Church is richly ornamented, the sounding board of the puli)it being in the highest style of art. The aisles are, as usual, devoted to sub-altars or shrines, but the main altar in the chancel is the centre of attraction, and the effect, especially during the services of Holy Week, is very impressive. We may add that the acoustic ]iroperties of the edifice are most admirable. On the Church street side, adjoining the Cathedral, is the Archiepiscopal Palace, a plain unpretending residence with latticed windows. On Bond street are the Convent School and the Convent proper. We should like now to notice the graceful Congregational Church on the opposite corner of Cruickshank street and the neat Presbyterian Church on Gould street, both in the immediate vicini:y, but we know that space is not illimitable — so far as printed matter is concerned. s» M* wi$i L.

J OHN TORONTO \21&23WellingtonSt^ MACDONALD & CO, j 28&30 Front St vocation Hall, then the massive front of the noble pile, with the great square Norman, tower in its centre, and the round tower, containing the chemical laboratory, on it* western tlank. Approaching the tower, we may take notice of the superb stone work of the pointed arch which forms the principal entrance. Entering, we find ourselves in a square vestibule witli tesselated pavement, and behind, on each side, a staircase of white Ohio stone, lighted by stained £;lass windows. On reaching the gallery, the Library is on our right hand and the Museum on our left. Having done justice to both, the visitor should ascend the tower, from whence the finest and most complete view of the city may be obtained. Again reaching the ground fioor and taking a westward course, we pass a number of Lecture and Professors' retiring rooms, of which the chemical lecture-room (the largest in the building) and the laboratory should be seen. Passing through the door nearly opposite, we enter the west side of the quadrangle, containing the resident students' quarters, the house of the Dean in residence, the dining hall, &c. Retracing our stejis again through the vestibule, we pass other lecture-rooms, the largest being Dr. Wilson's, and enter the eastern side with its ollices. The stair-case we see on the left leads up to the S^-nate Chamber. Then comes the Convocation Hall, of which we must omit any description for want of space. It is a splendid hall — its only fault being that it is too small. Having noticed with care the res]iect which Alma Mater h.is paid to those of her sons who fell repelling Fenian invasion at llidgeway, by the memorial window, on whicJi their names are inscribed, we take our leave of the noblest academic ])ile in America. ^ Passing down the carriiige road by the artificial lake, we may either return by the Yonge street avenue or proceed to the northern boundary of the Park. The upper portion is not so well kept, but it abounds in stately trees, and if the visitor will cross the ravine by the bridge he will see on his left, ascend the hill and proceed northward to Bloor street, he will have the shadiest and most enjoyable walk he has known for many a day. Emerging by the gate on the dusty road, we are at the northern limit of ToroTito, the boundary line running through the centre of Bloor street. Proceeding: eastward to Yonge street we may take the cars homeward. Yonge street, which we need not inform our readers runs to Holland Landing, has- many nice walks and drives. Beginning with Bloor .street we may proceed eastward to the Cemetery ; a little north of Yorkville we turn off" through what has been called " a mimic canyon," the little Don wandering noisily about at the bottom and the height* crowned with primeval trees. Northward still is the Davenport Road, with Wells' Hill BARBER & Co., ITo. 9 JORDAIT ST., TOROXTTO. MANUFACrURERS' AGENTS & COMMISSION MERCHANTS FOR THE SALE OF CANADIAN WOOLLENS OF ALL EXirpS.

There are five fire-halls in the city, tho.se on Portland, Yonge and Berkeley street.s having bells attached to the fire-telegraph. The other two, on Bay and Court streets, have only small gongs so connected. There are seventy-five boxes di.stributed over the city, from any of which the fire department may be informed of the locality of the fire. The key-holder has only to unlock his box and pull down a hook to hear the exact number of it struck three times slowly and distinctly on the bells. There are now five steam lire-engines belonging to the city. So far as water is concerned, we can only report progress. The city is in possession of the old works and plant, and new water-works, on a most extensive as well as expen- sive scale, are in process of construction. We are to have purer water, greater force of stream, and more adequate protection from fire. THE PROVINCIAL EXHIBITION. Everything seems to indicate that the Exhibition of 1874 will be an unprecedented success. Preparations have been made for a large increase in the entries. The out- buildings, including the cattle-sheds, stables, sheei^ and pig pens, barn, machine and carriage .sheds, &c., have all been enlarged and improved. Tlie only uncertain element in the prospects of the show is the weather, which we can only liope will prove propiti- ous. It may be well to add. here some general information in reterence to the arrange- ments. NEW AND IMPROVED BUILDINGS. These have been erected under the supervision of the City Engineer. The work performed by the city, in erecting buildings ar.d providing additional accommodations, consists principally of the following : — 1. Five large and commodious stables, with 54 stalls in each, ecjual to 900 feet in length, with a depth of 30 feet 6 in. 2. Feed boxes for 270 new stalls, and the same numbt^r for the old ones. .3. Cattle sheds 900 feet long by 24 feet deep. 4. Sheep pens 400 feet long by 24 feet deep. 5. Pig pens 900 feet run. 6. Carriage sheds 260 feet long by 24 feet wide. 7.
