TORONTO.
Buildings afford a most agreeable diversity to the
distant outline of the city, and mark it as a place of
wealth and enterprise. From the Cupola of the St.
Lawrence Hall at the south, and from that of the
Educational Department, and the University at the
north, the view is both extensive and animating.
The long lines of houses, and the rectangular blocks
of buildings, intersected by streets running towards
the four cardinal points of the compass, with here and
there a handsome church or an elegant edifice, strike
the eye of the stranger with an agreeable surprise.
Young in years, it has none of the associations which
render Quebec almost classic ; but it is as proud of
its beautiful Bay and aquatic sports as Quebec is of
its Ancient Walls and Citadel.
At present Toronto contains about 10,000 public
and private buildings, and has a population of nearly
70,000. The assessed value of property, is not far
from $27,000,000. The yearly civic income and ex-
penditure amount to about $500,000.
STREETS.
The streets of Toronto are spacious, well laid out,
and regularly built, the two main arteries of the city
are King and Yonge streets, which crossing each
other at right angles, divide the city into four large

sections. Yonge Street runs north and south, King
Street, east and west. The Street Railway passes
along the entire length from King Street up Yonge
Street to Yorkville, and up Queen Street as far as the
Provincial Lunatic Asylum, thus forming a convenient
means of transport for parties living at the northern
and western extremities of the city.
, YONGE STREET.
Starting from the foot of Yonge Street northwards
from the Bay, the most striking objects we meet are
Great Western Station, Custom House, American
Hotel, the Bank of Montreal, Royal Insurance Com-
pany, then Wellington Street, and on either side the
City Hall, Bank of Toronto, numerous wholesale
houses, Edinburgh Life Assurance Company's Build-
ing, Merchants Bank, City Bank of Montreal. The
lower portion of Yonge Street from King to the Bay
is composed mostly of wholesale houses, while above
King, it is almost an unbroken line of retail shops of
every description, and is perhaps the most busy street
in the city; the buildings, many of them being of
fine structure. This street is the great leading
thoroughfare from the north, runs almost north and
south, and divides the city into two grand divisions,
extending from the Bay as far north as Holland Land-
ing, a distance of about 30 miles.

KING STREET.
King Street, the principal one in Toronto, is 66 feet
in width, is well built up with substantial brick and
stone buildings, some of them being equal to any on
on this continent.
It is only about forty years since it was com-
pletely composed of woode:i structures, and was
hardly passable to pedestrians ; but now each side is
lined with stately stores, more particularly King
Street east, where most of the business is done ; the
improvements in the west end are advancing rapidly.
This street is built up for about two miles, but
extends still further: it forms the main artery for
business from the east.

THE COLLEGE AVENUE.
This drive and promenade, leading from Queen
Street to the University Grounds, is nearly one mile
in length, 120 feet in width, and contains about ten
acres of land. It is handsomely planted with trees
on either side, through the centre of which there is
a carriage drive, flanked by a grass border of con-
siderable width. The Avenue is one of the finest
in the Dominion, or perhaps on this continent, and
and was laid out about the year 1829 or 1830, by the
University of King's College, now the University of

Toronto, and planted by the late Mr. John AVedd.
In 1859, this with the Yonge Street Avenue, which
is much narrower, and crosses it at right angles at
its northerly termination, together with 50 acres of
the University Park, were granted to the Corporation
of the City of Toronto, on a lease for a period of 999
years, for the purposes of a Public Park, to be kept
in order by the city. Building lots for villas of a
certain description, have been also laid out for leasing
round this Park, and many elegant Residences have
already been erected.
UNIVERSITY BUILDINGS.
This magnificent pile of buildings was erected dur-
ing the years 1856-57 to provide accommodation not
only for the University of Toronto (which simply
confers degrees) but also for University College, with
its various lecture rooms, residences, and students
quarters. The massive structure was designed by
Messrs. Cumberland and Storm, and built under their
directions. The chief facades of the building, are
to the south and east — the former of great and mas-
sive elevation, for distant effect from the lake and
city.
The general outline of the building approaches the
form of a square, having an internal quadrangle of
about 200 feet square, the north side of which is

south is about 800 feet long, with a massive Norman
tower in its centre 120 feet in height, and comprising
two stories, that on the ground being devoted to
lecture rooms, the upper story to the Library and
Museum ; these may be called the public portion of
the building. The east side of the building is 260
feet in length, and entered by a subsidiary tower.
The west end of the quadrangle is about 200 feet in
length, and used as residences for the students. The
whole cost was nearly $500,000.
TKINITY COLLEGE.
Is a very handsome building situated on Queen
Street west, standing in spacious grounds facing the
entrance to the Bay.
The college was erected in 1851, at a cost of £8,000,
after plans prepared by Mr. Kivas Tully. The build-
ing is of white brick with stone dressings, and is
designed in the third period of pointed English
Architecture. It has a frontage of 250 feet, facing
south with wings projecting east and west 53 feet
each. The porch of the principal entrance is cut
stone, over which is a bay window and ornamental
gable to correspond. There are also handsome bay

the centre of an open square, of about seven acres and
a half of ground, bounded on the north by Gerrard
Street, on the east by Church Street, on the South by
Gould Street, and on the west by Victoria Street. The

UPPER CANADA COLLEGE.
Stands on a site of nine acres opposite the Govern-
ment House, fronting on King Street, and consists of
a row of neat brick buildings. This institution was
founded A.D. 1829.
The centre building is the College proper, contain-
ing large and well ventilated class rooms, a library, a
laboratory, and a public hall. The residences of the
principal and of the various masters being on either
side. The College boarding house, which has lately
had a very large addition added to it, is spaci6us, and
fitted with every appliance, does not appear in the
view, as it recedes from the line of the other build-
ings. The same may be said of the gymnasium, &c.
The lawn is handsomely laid out, and its cricket-
ground and play-yards are extensive.

Eight exhibitions, varying in value from $40 to $120
per annum, are open to competition of the whole
Province. The examination for these are entirely
conducted by gentlemen unconnected with the Insti-
tution. It is modelled after the celebrated English
Grammar Schools, and aims to impart a sound
Classical and Commercial education. The College is
munificently endowed. A large portion of our lead-
men received their education, either wholly, or in
part, at this College ; and the distinguished success
of its pupils in our Universities is a further proof
that it is conducted in an efficient manner.
