0fMt St JamM Street* MtaitreaL

The proprietor of this well known Hotel takes this
opportunl^r of announcing to trayellers, that eztensiye
altorationi and improvements having recently been

within a minute's walk of the French Parish Ohurch,^
contiguous to the various Banks, in sight of the beauti-
ful Mountain, a short distance from the Victoria Bridge,

INTRODUCTION.

tl0^^^^^^^^^>*^^^^^^^^*^^^^^*^^^^%

Cities are the centres of commerce — the reterroirs of
trade — they are types of the nation. Within their liroiti
ceatralize almost all aspects of a people. In this utilitarian
a le, 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 poisesi objects
worthy of interest. It can be safely said that no city on
this 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 moment the
tourist leaves Niagara till he enters the precints of the city,
oie continued scene of beauty crowds upon his path. The
*< Thousand Islands," dotting the river like a string of
emeralds of all shades and sizes — ^now running like a nar-
row band of green ribbon, then spreading mto large plains
covered with verdure ; again they are sinall| 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 the scenery. Montreal is
its3lf the largest city in British America, and it is there-
fore supposed that no person would forego the pleasure of
a visit to that city, if his course is tumea through Canada.
A stranger here requires a <* Guide," else he may wander
about for days, and leave the city without bavins seen much
to gratify bim. This little work is issued with a view to
assist strangers in their wanderings through th« city. Tho
descriptions are of course merely practical ; a lofty style
would be superfluous.

The American or English tourist will find it well worthy
•f preservation, not only as a uook to refer to hereafter,
but as a memento of his visit to the mercantile Emporium
of British America — the city of montrial*

CITY OF MONTREAL.

>9#l^^^#M»M-

■yi •

i:u

This city, founded in 164<2, is the largest in British North
America, having a population of about 75,000. It is situ-
ated at the foot of the ** Royal Mountain,'' 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 garden of Canada East. The
main branch of the Ottawa, which is the timber 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 mingling at Caughnawaga ^
the two distinct bodies pass over the Sault St. Louis and
the Lachine Rapids — the dark waters of the Ottawa wash-
ing th6 quays of Montreal, while the blue St. Lawrence
occupies the other shore. Nor do they merge their dis-
tinctive ehaunteter until^^they are several miles below Mon-
treal. The quays of Montreal are unsurpassed by those of
any city in America ; built of solid limestone, and uniting
with the locks and cut stone wharves of the Lachine Canalf
they present for several miles a display of continuous ma-
sonry, which has few parallels. Unlike the levees of the
Ohio and Mississippi, no unsightly wharehouses disfigure the
river side. A broad terrace, faced with grey limestone,
the parapets of which are surmounted with a substantia'
iron railing, divides the city from the river throughout its
whole extent.

, ••

Montreal is not only the chief commercial city of British
North America, but it is distinguished for its beautiful and
spacious public buildings, its churches, educational and othef
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 of
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,
ai'e favorite drives with tourists or seekers 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 mountain, 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 : —

ROMAN CATHOLIC.

The Parish Church. — The corner stone of this mag-
nificent edifice, which is built in the perpendicular Gothic
style of the Middle Ages, was laid on the 3d September,
1824«, and was opened for public worship in July, 1829.
The length of the Church is 255 feet 6 inches, and its
breadth 134 feet 6 inches. The height of the principal
towers is 220 feet, and of the others 115 feet each.
The great window at the high altar is 64 feet in height, bv
32 feet in breadth. The total number of pews is 1,224,
capable of seating between six and seven thousand persons.
In the north east tower is a fine chime of bells, and in the

north west tower is placed the largest bell in America, cast
expressly for this church and weighing 29,400 lbs. This
tower is open to the public for a small fee ; from the top a
splendid view of the island of Montreal is presented. A
collection of magnificent paintings, by the most celebrated
artists, adorns this church.

St. James' Church. — This beautiful building is
erected upon the ruins of the one destroyed by the
great fire of 1852, known as the Bishop^s Church, which was
of the Roman-Ionic order; but altered in form and extended
in length, is now constructed after the most admired speci-
mens of the early pointed style, chiefly drawn from existing
examples of the thirteenth century. Jt 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 was very limited, nearly a century ago, divine ser-
vice was held in this building on Sundays alternately by the
various denominations of Christian residents in Montreal.
Tt will seat about 2,000 persons.

St. Ann's Church, Griflintown, is a large and com-
modious stone building, capable of seating over 3,000 per-
sons ; it is in the Gothic syle of architecture, ana is the
most striking edifice in the quarter of the city in which it is
situated.

The BoNSECouRS Church, St. Paul street, (the first
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. James' 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 simile of St. Peter's Church, Rome, and will not be
surpassed in grandeur on Ihis continent. The buildings at
present occupying this site, being the old French Burying
Ground, are well worth visiting.

Italian style of architecture. The plan forms three aides
of a quadrangle, with the wings adfaacing. The eastern
wing contains a chapel 100 feet b? 40 feet, with a librarj
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 probame that this is the most
substantial building ever erected in Canada, built from a
quarry of compact building stone of Basaltic character.

Christ Church Cathedral.^— The foundation stone of
this important and graceful 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 effect. 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. The
following are the dimensions of the building : —

Length, (inside) • 187 feet.

Width of nave. 70 "

Transept including Tower 99 **

Height of Tower and Spire 224 **

The u[^er stage of the tower will contain a peal of bells,
and immediat^ above the corbel-table the clocks will be
placed. This fine building, it is believed, will be unsur-
passed on th^ continent in correctness and beMity of design
aod elegance and completeness of detail.

St. George's Church. — This is a very neat buildin^;^
erected in the siySe of the 13th centuiy, at a cost of about
jC3,pOO. The interior isk fitted up in a chaste and elegant
manner, and has an excellent organ. The size is 150
in length bj 56 feet in width, and it will seat about 1,500

W. T. Leach, D. C. L., and the Rev. Wm. Bond, are the
officiating clergymen here.

St. Stephen's Church, Dalhousie street^Griffintown^
k designed in the same style as St. George's, but with
somewhat less pretensions The interior is arranged in a
neat and comfortable manner, and a part of the seats are
free. '1 he ground plan is 100 feet by 55 feet, and it will
seat oyer 1,200 persons. The Rev. Jacob Ellegood is the
officiating clergyman.

THE VICTORIA BRIDGE.

It is u ndei stood (t^at this stupendous undertaking will he
completed in the fall df 1869 or early in the year 1860.
The cost ofihisglga-ntie structure was originally estimated
at j£l,450>000, but this sum has srnce been reduced, and
the present caleulari* n of its probable cost is about
^1,260,000. It If supposed that in its erection 250,000 tons
of stone and 7,600 tons of iron have been used. The iron
superstructure is supported on 24 piers and two abutments.
The centre span being 330 feet ; there are 12 spans on each
side of the centre, 242 feet each. The length of the abut-
ments is 24^ feet each. The extreme length including
abutments is 7000 feet. The height above sunrmer water
level in the centre opening is 60 feet, deseending to either
end atihe rate of 1 in 130. Tlie contents of the masonry will
he three mil I ions of cubic feet. The weight of iron in the
tubes is 8000 tons. The following are the dimensions of tube
through which the trains puss in the middle span, vi^ : 22
feet high, 16 feet wide ; at the extreme ends \9 feet high, IS
feet wide. The total length from river bank to river bank
will be 10,284 feHt,or about 60 yards less than two English
miles.

THE WATER WORKS.
The water IS taken by an AqtJEDDCT from the St. Law-
re tice, about a mi e and a h»ir above the Lachine Rapids,
where the elevation of the river surfkce is about thirty-seven
feet above JVotltreal harbour It is conducted for a distance
of five mileK through an opien eanal, (forty fett wide on the
water surface/and eight feet deep at^the lowest stage of the
nver) 16 the river St. Pierre, at the outskirts of the city.
"^ Here at the termination of the uqueduct^ r -apaciuus basin i»
formed in order to give surfuce area si -,.at to prevent the
head being suddenly diawn down by the large quantity of
water required to start the wheels. The aqueduct intersects
three streams, which are carried under it by syphon culverts
and is crossed by twelve bridges. More than half of the aque-
duct is through cutting from lU to 23 feet in depth, one and a
quarter miles of which are through solid rock, seven to four-
teen feet thick, the width uf the cut being thirty four feet.
At the termination of the a(|ueduct isthe wheel house twa
iron water wheels, twenty feet diameter and twenty feet

J .0

i) 1

broa»l are erecicil. the hottom» of which are placed iweoty-
two feet above Montreal harbor, in order to escape the back
water caused by the winter rise of the St. Lawrence. The
water is admitted and discharged from the wheel house
through submerged archways, under covered frost proof
passages, extending above and below the building. About
a lujnlred feet from the Wheel House the pumping main
branches into two lines, each iwely-four inches diameter,
which are continued under he Grand Trunk Railway, the
River St. Fierre, and the Lachine Canal, (which latter is
passed by a culvert, at a level of twenty feet below the
surface,) and shortly after ascends within six feel of the
natural surface, where the two mains are connected againt
and a single one only is continued to the Reservoir, at the
base oftfie mountain. They are excavated out of the solid
ruck, and have a water surface of about ninety thousand
square feet, two hundred and five feet above Montreal har-
bor, wiijj a depth of 26 feet, containing about fifteen millions
«)f gallons. They can be filled by the two wheels in seventy-
five hours pumping, the wheels also providing the consump-
tion of the city during that period. These works were
cotnmenced in June, lb53, the first water was pumped into
the Reservoirs September 11th, 1856. Cost of the Works,
including land purchases, machinery, reservoirs, interest, dis-
count, &c, $1,500,000.

The Lachine Canal is among the public works par-
ticularly worthy of note, and of which the city may well
feel proud. The head of water on this canal has been ren-
dered available for the creation of water power which has
been applied most successfully to the movement of very ex-
tensive machinery over a large extent of ground. Among
the works here, are foundries, engine and boiler works, a
ship yard and marine works, saw mills, sash, blind and door
factories, stave and barrel works, a flour mill, an oatmeal
and corn mill, cotton mills, an edged tool factory, India
rubber factory, a factory of wollens, a large rope and cor-
dage factory, with other smaller establishments. These
works, with those on the lower basin, are using a power
daily ecpial to that of 3500 horses. They furnish employ-
ment to more than 2000 men, affording subsistence to 10,000
persons. Further on, at Cote St. Paul, there are several
other large factories of various kinds, which are well w^orth
while visiting.
