The favor with which the First Edition of the Parlia- mentary and Departmental Hand Book was received, has induced the Compiler to issue a Second one. Some very important additions have been made, and the whole carefully revised and corrected. The amount of information it con- tains cannot fail to be useful to persons having business to transact with Parliament or the Departments, and interesting to those who have not yet had an opportunity to visit Ottawa and the Government Buildings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CHIEF FEATURES OF OTTAWA CITY. Though the present "Hand Book" was designed cluefly with the view of furnishing tourists with a detailed description of tiie Par- liament and Departmental Buildings of the Dominion of Canada, the Compiler has thought it as well to offer, at the same time, a brief notice of the principal features of interest in the City of Ottawa itself, and the surrounding neighborhood. No stranger can fail to be struck at a glance with the many na- tural advantages that the City of Ottawa possesses both of beauty and utility, and a closer acquaintance with the locale more than confirms the first impression. Something seems to have inspired its founders with a prophetic vision of its destiny as the future Capital of the Dominion, for it appears from the first to have been laid out on an immense scale. Its principal streets are of great width and extend from East to West nearly three miles, and throughout the whole of these, the meaner buildings are being gradually displaced by erections worthy of the large thoroughfares upon which they are situated. The limits of the City do not at present extend more than half a mile back from the Ottawa River frontage, but its natural and ulti- mate limits are evidently destined to extend to the Rideau Canal, which together with the Rideau River in the rear, and the Ottawa River in its front, will enclose the City site in a Peninsula, the area of which will be three miles long by three miles broad, afl'ording room for a Cily population of the largest class. The beautiful new gravel road just finished running from Wellington street to the Rideau Canal which it crosses by a swing Bridge, affords an excellent guage for the future breadth of Ottawa City, north and south. It is called Gloucester Road and runs through the property of W. Powell, Esq., Sherilf of Carleton, and is already being taken up by Merchants, Govermnent Officials and others desiring suburban residences, and is resorted to as a favorite drive. This may be pronounced by some a "Day-Dream" but Ottawa has already realized more wonderful dreams than this, for it is said that the farm on which the City now stands was sold 37 years ago for Eighty pounds Currency, and surely _ ' I 11 t'1 J 8 OTTAWA CITY. the ratio between that sum' and its present vahie, is as marvellous a fact as anything we can dream of for Ottawa's future, when the Ottawa and Huron Canal shall have been completed, and when Ottawa may boast of being not only the Legislative Capital, but the chief seal of the Manufactures of the Dominion. THE SCENERY OF OTTAWA. Ottawa City lies on the right bank or south shore of the Ottawa River, and may be said to extend from the Chaudiere Falls to RockclitFe, a distance of about three miles. Nothing can be more striking than the tableau presented by this Ottawa River frontage of the City as viewed from the River or from the low shore of the opposite bank. The whole length preseits a succession of bold promontories or blufPs, many of them rising perpendicularly 250 feet from the waters edge, clothed with a perpetual green of bushy cedar and pine, and separated from each other by small bays. nOCKCLlFFE. Ascending the river the firstof these promontories which presents itself is known by the name of Rockcliffe, the property of Dr. Hunter, its frontage extends about a quarter of a mile, and through its whole length on the side of the clifT runs a magnificent Terrace or Alley, sufficiently wide for a Carriage Road, and so thickly shaded through- out by tall pine trees and cedar bushes as to be impervious alike to the fierce summer sun and the chilly blasts of winter. The view obtained here of the opposite shore, wherever an opening can be found, is perhaps more beautiful (as it is more extensive) than from any of the other promontories, the eye here embraces not only the pastoral landscape of grassy slopes and cultivated fields, backed by the distant mountains of Lower Canada, but a clear view sixteen miles down the Ottawa River. THE RmEAU FALLS. The next striking object met with is the Rideau River tumbling perpendicularly into the Ottawa River on either side of a low flat island making two distinct falls of about 40 feet high. major's hill — BARRACK HILL AND THE PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS. Major's Hill and Barrack Hill are ihe two next promontories, — the first is at present used as a Public Park, — the latter which is the glory of Ottawa is crowned by the magnificent new Parliament Buildings, fully promo Rideai and j( Dickin the Cit Th provinc probab in the 1 year to Fir waters ing as g the foar observe Secon frozen i appearai the mosi work of Rid( General, tectural been reo of apartn of an El througlu by Mr. E Botli Hall of (1 holstery more elo! have bee: The out, and trees.

In the Bay between these two promontories is situated the entrance to the massive Locks of the Rideau Canal, an expensive Imperial work which intersects the City and joins the Rideau River. The old and respectable firm of Dickinson h Co., run a line of freight and passenger steamers from the City of Ottawa to Kingston through this Canal. CHAUOIERE FALLS. These falls (spanned by the suspension bridge which unites the provinces of Ontario and Quebec,) though always interesting, and probably more remarkable in their eccentricity than any other falls in the known world, must be viewed at two different seasons of the year to be properly appreciated. First. — In the Spring when the Ottawa is receiving the swollen waters of its numerous tributaries and when it is said to be discharg- ing as great a volume of water as Niagara itself : on thes(» occasions the foaming and resistless rush of the turbulent torrent fascinates the observer and chains him in bewilderment to the spot. Secondly. — In mid Winter when the outer waters of the falls are frozen into the most fantastic forms — in some places assiuniiig the appearance of different kinds of drapery, from the heavy curtain to the most transparent lace veil : in other places looking like the fret- work of some elaborate marble altar screen. I«: 16 , RIDEAU HALL. Rideau Hall is the residence of His Excellency the Governor General. The house is a substantial stone building without archi- tectural pretensions. A handsome new wing of fine proportions has been recently added, containing a spacious reception room, and a suite of apartments on a suitable scale, and fitted with all the conveniences of an English gentleman's residence. It has been newly iiirnished throughout partly by Messrs. Jacques tSi Hay, of Toronto, and partly by Mr. Drum, of Quebec, at an expense of about $i?G,()00. Both these eminent firms have had an opportunity at Rideau Hall of displaying the beauty and excellence which the art of Up- holstery has attained in Canada, and we venture to atlirni that nothing more elegant in side-boards, sofas, chairs, and bed-room suits cuuld have been turned out either in London or Paris. The house stands in about thirty-five a(;res of ground well laid out, and is approached through a handsome avenue of well grown trees. 10 OTTAWA CITY. I i MANUFACTURING PROGRESS. The Staple Trade of Ottawa, as is well known, is the manufacture of Lumber ; and all the Saw Mills round the Chaudiere Falls on both sides of the River, as well as at the Rideau Falls, are in the hands of enterprizing Firms from the United States, who are driving a most extensive business in Sawed Lumber, but the prize for enterprize and progress must be awarded to E. B. Eddy, Esq. This gentleman, it appears, came to Ottawa about eleven years ago, possessing nothing but the ingenuity and indomitable energy so characteristic of his countrymen ; to-day his works at the Village of Hull, (which is, after all, but a suburb of the City of Ottawa,) cover 25 acres of ground. They consist of two large saw mills, running 240 lumber saws, a barrel, pail and match manufactory, all built in the most substantial manner and probably superior in their machinery and improvements to any similar establishment in the world. Eddy's Matches, it appears, have been proved to be the most reliable of any in the market and are not only esteemed in America but are largely exported to Europe. We have no space to describe in detail the economy of this establish- ment, but the reader may form some idea of the extent of its operations, when we state, that a good sized village population of 1200 people — men, women, and children — is employed by Mr. Eddy's enterprize. The employment of the Ottawa River Water Power, may, how- ever, bfl said to be only at its commencement, as the Government intend to stretch a Dam across the River above the Chaudiere Falls ; we may therefore, in due time, expect to see Cotton, Woollen and other Manufactures established here. Among the general improvements finished and progressing in Ottawa and its suburbs we may notice THE RESmENCE OF J. M. CURRIER, ESQ. On the Ottawa River, in front of Rideau Hall, Mr. Currier, the Member of the Commons for the City, has nearly completed a beautiful house on the Bluff next to RockclilFe. The design is Modern Gothic in Grey Lime Stone with Cut Stone Dressings, the Chimneys, Windows, Doors and other stone finishings are beautifully executed. Its interior is fitted with Water Tank, heating apparatus. Baths, &c., all on the newest principle ; in the grounds is a beautiful vinery, the road frontage has a fine Lawn shaded by large Oak and Pine Trees. On tlie whole this is a perfect Gem of Domestic Architecture. On the extreme edge of the Bluff and commanding a view of similar scenery to that seen from Rockcliffe is an elegant and capacious Double Storied Summer House. OTTAWA CITV. II Daly street is supposed to be the West End or olh Avenue District of Ottawa. The Upper ten of Government Oflieials liave located here and hero also several of the Merchants of the City have erected pretty residences. niDES AND DRIVES. In beautiful rides and drives the neighborhood of Ottawa can scarcely be excelled — a nine mile drive up the Gatineau Road and through Chelsea conducts the tourist to the Mountain Range which forms such a conspicuous object in the scenery viewed from the City of Ottawa. In these mountains are to be found several lovely valleys — with cultivated farms; and Lakes teeming with Trout. CHURCHES AND OTHER BUILDINGS. Ottawa is somewhat behind in Ecclesiastical Architecture. The population is half Roman Catholic and half Protestant. The former have a handsome Cathedral, and St. Joseph's Church attached to St. Joseph's College is a neat structure, more elegant in its interior than in its exterior design. The Revd. Dr. Jones, on Daly Street, and the Revd. J. J. Johnson, both popular preachers of the English Episcopal Church have been enabled by their respective Congregations to erect recently neat little Gothic Churches holding 400 or 500 people each, but from some cause or other there is no English Episcopal Church worthy of the place, nor any present prospect of so desirable an addition to Ottawa's Ecclesiastical Buildings. Of other erections which have struck us as examples worthy of imitation by their fellow citizens, we may mention the handsome block of Brick Stores on Sussex St., erected by Ilis Lordship the R. C. Bishop of Ottawa, — the Oflices of Messrs. Hamilton, — Desbarats Government Printing Office and Block.— The Quebec Bank which besides its handsome exterior has recentlv received internal deco- rations of great beauty both of design and execution — the handsome and commodious New Wing in cut stone added to the Russell Hotel by D. McLaughlin, Blsq., M. P. The population of Ottawa is supposed now to have attained to 25,000. 12 GOVERNMENT DUILDINGS. THE GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS. Ottawa having been selected by Her Majesty, as the Capital of Canada, the sum of £75,000 was voted by the Legislative Assembly, for the erection of a Parliament House, and a premium of $1000 offered for the best design not to exceed that amount, Messrs. Fuller & Jones were the successful architects, and although the design was consi- dered by many as too costly, responsible contractors were found who tendered within the government vote. Upon examination, however, of the spot selected for the erection, formerly known as the Barrack Hill, it was found from the inequality of the ground, that immense exca- vations were necessary, which made in solid rock added enormously to the original cost, and could not have been foreseen by builders nor architects. The government finding no provision for this work in the grant, and fearing it would cost a large portion of the original sum voted ^ stopped works, and for some considerable time there was no progress. A commission of inquiry was appointed, fresh contracts were signed, and the whole of the works placed under the superin- tendence of Mr. Fuller, under whose management the present highly creditable structures have been completed. The corner stone was laid with great ceremony by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, in September, 1860, on which occasion the rejoicings partook of the nature of the place, the lumber arches and men being a novelty to most of its visitors, bullocks and sheep were roasted whole upon the govern ment ground and all comers were feasted. The site of these buildings has been very happily selected in the most elevated part of the city; they consist of the Parliament and two Departmental Buildings, forming three sides of a large square, facing the city, and from their position overlooking most of the houses. In the rear of the Parlia- ment Building the rock descends almost perpendicularly to the river Ottawa ; from here the view is truly magnificent, and cannot be sur- passed on this continent nor in Europe. The broad river is in itself a beautiful object, but the vast extent of distant forest and hill com- pletely absorbs every attention. From this point the Chaudiere Falls are distinctly seen, and by some considered more romantic than I I of red nes nsi- vho I'er, ack sca- isly nor tc in inal was acts rin- ;iiiy was lies, the lost ern ings ii^y; tieir :-Iia- iver sur- Iself ;om- 'alls han ■'r Mir HOUSE OF COMMONS, Orovvd Floor. 1 W.

This river must be always intorestinf; on account of its slides, booms, and distinctive race of luml)ermen ; it is only seen however to its full advantajje in the spring of the year, with high water, crowded with rafts. The j,M-oup of buildings form a most picturesque object from every approach to the city, and can be seen at a great distance. The Parliament Buildings stand on a high plateau of some 30 acres in area. The buildings form three sides of a quadrangular figure, and are widely detached. The Parliament or main building facing Wellington street ; and the Departmental Buildings lacing inwards to the square and forming the other two sides of the figure. The splendour of those Buildings, their fine commanding site, together with the beauty of the surrounding scenery, place them in a very enviable position — compared with all other structures used for similar purposes on this continent, and some say, even in Kurope — and must ever make them objects of interest to the tourist and the stranger. The stvle of the Buildings is the Gothic of the 12th and 13th Genturie:^, with modification to suit the climate of Ganada. The orna- mental work and the dressing round the windows are of Ohio sand- stone. The plain surface is faced with a cream-colored sandstone of the Potsdam formation, obtained from Nepean, a few miles from Ottawa. The spandrils of the arches, and the spaces between window- arches and the sills of the upper windows, are filled up with a quaint description of stone-work, composed of stones of irregular size, shape and colour, very neatly set together. These w-ith the Potsdam red sandstone employed in forming the arches over the windows, afibrd a pleasant variety of colour and effect, and contrast with the general masses of light coloured sandstone, of which the body of the work is composed. This Building, as you approach from Wellington street, presents a very imposing appearence. The central of the seven towers, which is very rich in design, projects its width from the front of the Build- ing, and when completed, will be about 180 ft. high. The body of the building in front is forty feet high, above which rises the slanting roofs of slate, surmounted by lines of ornamental iron cresting. The building is 472 feet long ; and the depth from the front of the main tower to the rear of the library is 570 feet, covering an area of 82,886 superficial feet. It stands at a distance of 600 feet from Wellington street, so that the quadrangle formed on three sides by the Buildings and on the fourth by the street, is 700 feet from east to west, and 600 feet from north to south ; thus affording a very spacious square. ; 1. 14 GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS. The ground upon which the buildings stand varies somewhat in ele- vation, that forming the site of the Parliament Building being the highest. The basement floor of the buildings is assumed to be IGO feet above the ordinary summer level of the river, while that of the Eastern and Western blocks is 135 and 142 feet respectively. The increased elevation, however, improves very much the general effect of the buildings. The main entrance is through the principal tower, the spacious arches of which admit of a carriage way under them. The piers which support the tower are ornamented with pillars of polished Arnprior marble. Passing through it we enter a large hall, paved with tiles, and also surrounded with marble pillars. Ascending and moving towards the left we come to the Chamber of Commons. The Room measures 82 by 45 feet, the ceiling being over 50 feet high, and formed of fine open work. The skylights above this inter- mediate ceiling, with the stained glass windows at the sides, throw a plentiful soft light over the whole place. The room is surrounded by large piers of a light greyish marble from Portage du Fort, sur- mounted just above the galleries by clusters of small pillars of the dark Arnprior ; the arches supported by these pillars being again of the light coloured marble. The galleries can accommodate about 1,000 persons. The Gallery for the Reporters is situated above the Speaker's chair. On the right of the Main entrance, is the Senate Chamber, alike in every particular to that of the Commons. Along the Corridors you see numerous Rooms for Committees, Clerks, Reading and Smoking. Although the Library is not yet completed, we, nevertheless, give >iere a sketch of what is intended to be done. The library will be situated in the rear of the Parliament Building, and the plan is of a polygon of sixteen sideo, ?^ feet in diameter ; outside of the main room is an aisle of one story high, which is formed of a series of small retiring rooms, where persons desiring a few hours of uninter- rupted study can secure it. A corridor will connect the Library with the main building : this corridor will be the picture gallery, but is at present used for the Library. The floors of this building, as well as those of the Departmental Buildings, are made of concrete, perfectly fire-proof ; an invention not long adopted in Europe. The Eastern Block of the Departmental Buildings is of an irre- gular and picturesque shape. The west front or that which faces the square, is 318 feet, and 253 feet on the south front or that which faces Wellington street, and cover an area of 41,840 superficial feet. In this building are found the Governor General's Oflice, the Privy Council room, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Militia, the GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS. 15 Secretary of State, the Finance and Audit Offices, the Registrar, the Receiver General, the Secretary of State for the Provinces, the Customs and the Inland Revenue departments. From the east side of this building an extensive view is obtained, embracing the lower town and the country beyond it. Nearer is a plateau, somewhat similar to that upon which stand the buildings, and known as the Major's Hill, and in a deep hollow between and immediately under the walls, is the long chain of Locks of the Rideau Canal, famous for its workmanship and solidity, spanned, a little higher up, by the Sappers' bridge, connecting the lower town with upper and central towns. The Western Block is similar in style to that of the Eastern block, but not quite so large and more regular in its contruction, being 211 feet long, facing the square, and 277 feet on the south looking on Wellington street. It is also very imposing, although not possessing so grand an entrance as the Eastern block, a circumstance which is probably accounted for by the fact of the Governor Ge- neral and Privy Council's rooms being situated in the first described block. The Public Works Department, the Post Office Department, the Adjutant General and Militia Departments, the Marine and Fisheries Department, the Bureau of Agriculture, and the model room connected with the Patent Department, are all located in this building. The west front of this building looking upon the upper town and beyond it towards the Chaudiere Falls, and Hull, gives a fine view of the wooded lands on the shore of the Ottawa River and the distant range of hills beyond, includinr^ a far view of the river and its banks stretching to the south-west in the direction of Aylmer. Similar or still more extensive views are obtained from the west side of the Parliament Building. The ceiling of the passages and of many of the rooms of the Par- liament Buildings are made of pine wood, varnished, which being wrought into ornamental cornices and panels produces a rich and very fine appearence. The same material has been used for the doors. The fillings around the grates and mantle-pieces are of polished Arn- prior marble ; it is greyish blue marble of very fine grain, and capable of being polished to a high degree. All the floors are sup- ported by rolled iron girders, and filled in between with cement. The stairs in the buildings are all built of blue Ohio stone, and con- structed with hanging steps. The system for heating and ventilating is on the most approved principle. Under the central court of the Parliament building is the boiler room, in which are six boilers, each twenty feet long and five feet in diameter, furnished with a steam-drum, safety-valve, &c., and I I IL n> I li t« GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS. a steam engine of sufficient horse power to work the pumps and throw 250 gallons of water per minute into tanks placed in Ihe towers, from whence the water is supplied to all parts of the buildings. The heating is effected by steam conveyed in pipes from these boilers to the Senate Chamber, the Library, and the rooms adjoining, by means of a duct sufficiently large for the introduction of an abundant supply of fresh air, situated immediately under a vault in which steam pipes are placed to warm the air on its entering the vault from the duct, through a perforated floor, and before it passes into rooms proposed to be heated. These ducts enter on all sides of the building, and range in size according to the position in which they are placed. Of the ducts, there are 3,600 lineal feet, generally of 2 feet 4 inches high, with sides built of dressed stone and formed with slight descent where they pass out of the building. The other parts of the building are heated on what is called the coil system, or by direct radiation. For the rooms heated by this system there is an area of 4,308 feet of hot air flues, 24 by 19 inches sectional area, formed in the wall adjoining the committee rooms and other parts of the building heated, exclusive of ninety feet of others of greater dimensions for the larger steam pipes. In the internal arrangement nothing appears to have been spared to make the buildings as perfect as possible. The wants of the govern- ment and its officials have been most carefully studied by the archi- tects, and when all is completed, the beauty of the situation, combined with the elegance of the buildings, will enable the capitol of Canada to compare with any in the world. Messieurs Fuller and Jones were the Architects, and Mr. Thomas McGreevey, the Contractor for the Parliament Building. Messieurs Stent and Laver, the Architects, and Messieurs Jones, Haycock & Co., were the contractors for the Departmental Buildings. Mr. Charles Garth is the person who successfully carried out the system for heating and ventilation. r '■ :i. •: OTTAWA niVER. 17 ! !,; THE OTTAWA RIVER. " TheOttnwi ronnlrr In " liltic knuwii, but no miin viHits iia maKiutiJuut •• i-ciiiery, no man bigiiia to undii stahd Its cnur- " mniiB re-'ourcea, wiihnut an exprenainn of uduiira- " tlon at the one und Burprisu at tbe other." - That poi lion of tlie Country which is drained by the River Ot- tawa, and its tributaries, is very little known by the majority of the Canadian people, except those who are immediately connected with the lumber business. The great valley of the Ottawa lies in the very center of Canada ; the river itself dividing the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and including nearly one-fourth of its whole territorial extent. This valley contains an area of about 80,000 square miles, and furnishes one of the most valuable portions of our Exports. The River Ottawa, is suijposed to take its source in about 49° of North Latitude, and 76° of West Longitude. The river winds its course through the forest solitudes, known only to huiiters and the scattered agents of the Hudson Company, which lie on the slope of the highlands that separate its waters from those of Hudson's Bay. On its course it receives many tributaries, and expands into large lakes. At about 300 miles from its supposed source, and 440 from its mouth at Bout de ITsle, below Montreal, the Ottawa takes the Indian name of Lake Temiscaming, which turns at right angles nearly to its former course and extends for 67 miles unbroken by fall or rapid. At the head of this lake the Ottawa receives its tributary called La Blanche ; this streams runs north, for about 90 miles. Near the outlet of the Blanche, to the west, is the Keelacummavv, a stream of about 50 miles in length. The next tributary, on the Ontario side is the Montreal River, — its mouth being 34 miles below that of the Blanche ; its course is 120 miles north-west, and communicates with Lake Temangamingue ; this Lake communicates with Lake Nipissing by Sturgeon River. Between Lake Nipissing, the River Montreal and the River Ottawa, the whole country is intersected by lakes of various sizes, all com- municating together. \,i 18 OTTAWA niVER. The Keepawa-sippi tributary, 6 miles lower down, on the oppo- site side, is the mysterious river of Canada. It proceeds from a lake known as Keepawa. It is said that at a short distance from its mouth, there is a series of Cascades, 120 feet in height, but at a distance of a half mile from its mouth nothing is seen of a cataract, nor can we hear the sound of such a body of water falling. This river and the lake from which it proceeds, are connected with a chain of smaller lakes, from one of which proceeds the River du Moine, which empties itself into the Ottawa, some 100 miles lower down. The Long Sault Rapid, at the outlet of Lake Temiscaming, is G miles in length, and succeeded by another expansion of the Ottawa called the Seven League Lake, into which the Antony empties itself, on the south side ; and is succeeded by the Rapid Les Montagnes, and that at a short distance by another dangerous rapid called Les Erables ; at the foot of this rapid on tho north side, the River Natta- wissi discharges itself with a fall of 50 feet, and a volume of water equal to that of the Montmorency Fall, near Quebec. The cave or cellar is the next Rapid ; then comes the Malawan, just above the mouth of the River of the same name. This river runs, in a westerly direction, and is separated from Lake Nipissing by a short portage only ; this is the route taken by the officers and voya- geurs of the Hudson's Bay Company in going to the far west, and is the shortest and most direct way from the Province of Quebec and the Eastern States to Lake Superior and the Pacific Ocean. This river. Lake Nipissing, and French River directly connect the Ottawa with Lake Huron, and in this direction, eventually, will pass, by Railroad or Canal, the whole traffic between the seaboard of the North-western States and the Great Lakes, and finally to the Pacific. The Levielle is followed by the Trou, at the head of which, on the North, is the mouth of the Magna-sippi, a small stream, and the Rapid Deux Rivieres, which has three distinct falls. This rapid is succeeded by the great falls known as the Rocher Capitainc ; in which also there is three falls ; the central fall in its wild a-.id picturesque grandeur, its great extent, the rugged masses of rock by which tlie water is broken, and the great velocity of its dark and deep current, presents one of the most magnificent views on the river. On the north side, below the Rocher Capitaine, is the moulh of Bear River, and three miles below that, on the same side, the mouth of the Du Moine ; on the south side is the mouth of Grant Greek, and then we have the Rapid Deux Joachim. This is a tremendous rapid, through which no cribs can pass without being smashed to pieces ; in order to avoid this rapid, the government have constructed slides and dams ;it a great expense. OTTAWA RIVER. 19 At this point, there is a good hotel, and it may be called the verge of civilisation, for at this place is the last post office. Between Pembroke and the Deux Joachim a steamer plies three times a week. No one who is any way particular about his own comfort should attempt to go further ; the progress can be accomplished by canoe, and the numerous rapids, compelling frequent portages, make further travel upward a work of some labour, but for those who are fond of adventures and excitement, nothing could be more desirable. From the point on which is the Hotel, the view is one of the finest in the Country ; the river runs in a straight direction for 43 mileS, south- east, bounded on the north side by a high mountain chain, partially wooded, and on the south by a richly wooded and gradually ascending range of hills, resembling the " palisades " on the Hudson River. From the entrance of the Ottawa into Lake Temiscaming, to the end of the expansion, is 07 miles ; the Long Sault Rapid 6 miles ; Seven League Lake is 17 miles, thence to the Mattawan 13 miles, and the succession of navigable reaches and Rapids to the Deux Joachim 50 miles ; the total distance from the foot of Lake Temiscaming to the City of Ottawa being about 2G3 miles by the course of the river. From the foot of the Deux Joachim Rapids to the foot of Upper Allumette Lake ; (another expansion of the Ottawa River,) two miles below the village of Pembroke, is an uninterrupted reach of deep and navigable water. The upper part of it called Deek River is bounded by mountains on the north side, a thousand feet high, while the Allumette Lake is studied with innumerable beautifully wooded Islands, the whole scene far surpassing in grandeur the celebrated Thousand Islands on the River St. Lawrence. Passing the short Rapid of the Allumette, and turning north- ward round the lower end of the Allumette Island, fourteen miles long, and eight wide, we enter Lake Coulonge, another expansion of the Ottawa, at the end of which the channel is again divided by the Calumet Island, in all a reach of navigable water for 50 miles. The mountains v hich border Lake Coulonge on the north rise to about 1,500 feet, and present a beautiful and varied scene. On the Upper Allumette Lake, on the Ontario side, is the mouth of the Petawawee, one of the largest and most important tribu- taries of the Ottawa, being amply provided with the finest timber, is 140 miles in length, and drains an area of 2,200 square miles ; 9 miles below this, on the same side, is the mouth of a small stream called Indian River. Upon it is situated the thriving and busy little town of Pembroke, the capital of the Upper Ottawa. At the head of Lake Coulonge on the north side, is the mouth of the Black River, 130 miles in length, and draining an area of 1,120 % 20 OTTAWA RIVER. square miles ; and on the same side, 9 miles lower down, is the mouth of the Coulonge, 160 miles long, draining an area of 1 ,800 square miles. The finest pine timber is produced on both these rivers. From the head of the Calumet Falls to the Village of Portage du Fort, the Rapids are impassable, and the scenery the grandest imagi- nable. The timber is taken past these Rapids by means of slides, constructed at great expense by Government. The Rapids on the south side of the Calumet Islands are called the Rocher Frmdu ; the principal rapids on the north side are the Grand Calumet, the Derangfes and the Sables. Here we have come to a pretty and flourishing village called Portage du Fort ; there is a macadamised road to the head of the Calumet Rapids, from which point a steamer runs to Pembroke, a distance of thirty miles. Opposite Portage du Fort there is an excel- lent waggon road, which brings to a small steamer plying on Muskrat Lake, which takes the traveller within a short distance of Pembroke. On leaving Portage du Fort in the steamer, we soon arrive at the Rapides Les Ghenau.x . tl ( iver is here divided by small islands, covered with wood, between which the water rushes with great swift- ness, but except in the hi;, h water of Mio spring, the steamer breasts the current gallantly ; the ChenaiLv Rapids are at the head of Lake Les Chats, a beautiful expansion of the river. Into Lake Les Chats are discharged, on the Ontario side, the River Bonne Chere, about 110 miles in lengths ; draining an area of 980 square miles ; the Mada- waska, one of the largest of the tributaries, 210 miles in length, draining an area of 4,100 square miles ; on its mouth is situated the large and important village of Arnprior which has been created within a few years past by the liberal enterprise of Daniel McLachlan, Esquire; and the Mississippi, 101 miles long, draining an area of ■' 150 miles. These are three of the largest timber producing tribu- aries of the Upper Ottawa. Lake Les Chats is about 16 miles long, and is from 1 to 4 miles broad. There is a number of small islands scattered over its placid surface, and the lake being perfectly straight, these can be seen all at once. The navigation of the River Ottawa is again totally arrested at the foot of Lake Les Chats, by a series of remarkable rapids, from which the Lake derives its name. The whole volume of water in this great river, here not far from a mile w'ide, is barred in a dia- gonal direction by a huge ledge of limestone rock, over which the water pours in white foam, and with stunning noise, from a height of 50 feet in 33 distinct falls in high water, and 16 when the water is low during summer. These falls are separated by Islands. Many of OTTAWA RIVER. 21 these cataracts are highly picturesque ; over every one of tliem there pours a volume of water, at least equal to that contained in the Teign, Dart, or Tavy, in Devonshire, five miles from their mouths. If in England, each separate cascade would attract as many visitors as the celebrated falls of Lodore, which is a mere rain-water spout compared with Les Ghats. These falls can all be seen at once, as the steamer passes slowly along them, from Fitzroy Harbour, Ontario side, to the wharf at the other extremity of the falls on the Quebec side. The rocks between the Cascades are all covered with trees, manv of them of large size, which gives them the appearance of Islands. On landing from the steamer at the foot of Lake Chats, we find ourselves on a convenient wharf, and presently we are invited to take a seat in an open carriage, drawn by two horses, and soon find ourselves travelling at a fast trot along a Railway track. This Railway is built across the barrier of rock on jjiles of squared trees laid across each other in alternate layers ; in many places, it has been necessary to raise these piles 20 feet from the ground, so as to obtain a level ; there is no railing or fence, but during the many years it has been in operation, no accident has ever occured on it. On arriving at the other end of the railroad, which is three miles long, we have a long flight of stairs to descend to the wharf below ; these are built in a warehouse belonging to the steamboat company, and are necessary on account of the difference between the level of the railroad, and that of the river below. Alongside of the wharf below lies the steamer on which we embark and steam at a rapid pace down the beautiful Lake Duchene to Aylmer, a nice village on the Quebec side, only 8 miles from the City of Ottawa. The stepmer stays at Aylmer on account of several rapids below, and passtngers are brought into Ottawa by stages. On the south side, below the Chats Rapids, is the mouth of the Carp, a small stream, at the village of Fitzroy Harbour, and almost opposite on the north side is the mouth of the Quio, also a small stream, but very important as it produces magnificent white pine. The Chaudiere Lake is about 30 miles long, winding southward towards its upper end, and is from I to 2 miles in breadth. Some of the lands, for 10 or 12 miles, on the Ontario side, are very good and well cultivated. Beyond this, and towards the Chats, the south coast is low and the soil not so good, being light and sandy, but is very superior a little further back ; on the Quebec shore the soil is also excellent, and on the road from Ottawa to Aylmer and above it. For a great part of the way the Eardley Mountains rise like a gigantic wall on the north side at four miles back from the lake. At a short distance below Aylmer the Ottawa begins to close in : I Ul^ ii) % 22 OTTAWA nivEn. and the stream becomes rapid and turbulent. The navigation is here interrupted again, for more- than 5 miles, in which we find three short but distinct rapids, the Du Chene, the Remnoks, and the little Chaudiere ; these rapids have together a descent of about 60 feet over a bed of dark limestone, until at length the mighty stream pours in thunder over the rocks which arrest its progress at the City of Ottawa, forming the well known Chaudifere Falls. At the easterly boundary of the City, the Rideau pours over a high rocky bank into the Ottawa, on the Ontario side ; this river has a westerly course for IIG miles, and drains an area of 1,350 square miles. About a mile lower down, on the Quebec side, is the mouth of the Gatineau, the largest of all the known tributaries, itself receiv- ing tributaries, which would be called great rivers in any other country but this ; one of them, the Jean de Terre, is known to have a course of 170 miles. The Gatineau is tolerably well known for about 200 miles of its course, but the remainder, supposed to be 240 miles more, pene- trates into the unknown northern forests. At 217 miles from its mouth, the furthest point surveyed, the Gatineau is still a noble stream, at least 1,000 feet wide, diminished in depth, but little in width. The Gatineau is supposed to drain an area of 12,000 square miles, and from the great volume of its waters, no doubt discharges those proceeding from some large inland lakes. A small river, La Blanche, is discharged at a few miles below the Gatineau, and again a few miles below that is the mouth of the River aux Lievres, having a course of about 2G0 miles, and connected with a chain of small lakes, which are themselves connected with the River St. Maurice, another large river which unites with the St Lawrence at the City of Three Rivers, half way between Mont- real and Quebec. The next tributary is the North Nation, and almost opposite, on the Ontario side, the South Nation, each stream having a course of about 100 miles. Below the North Nation is the mouth of the River Rouge, with a course of 90 miles, and below that the River du Nord, with a course of 160 miles. No tributaries now occur until at a quite short distance from the mouth of the northern branch of the Ottawa, below Montreal, where it receives the River L'Assomption. From the City of Ottawa, the river is navigable to Grenville, 63 miles below, where the navigation is interrupted by a rapid 12 miles long. This rapid is avoided by a canal constructed by the Imperial Government, but now in the hands of the Government of Canada, which is getting it enlarged to permit a larger class of vessels to pass OTTAWA RIVER. n through. At Grenville there is a Railway which takes pnssengers down to Carillon. On leaving the cars at Carillon the traveller finds himself steaming down the Ottawa, and there is no further obstruc- tion to the navigation, except the short rapid at St. Anne's, which is avoided by one lock, on the north side ; the steamer then proceeds till the point is reached, at which the confluence of one of the outlets of the Ottawa with the St. Lawrence takes place, forming Lako St. Louis. The passengers disembark at Lachine, and Montreal is reached by rail. The main stream of the Ottawa is divided into three, by the intervention of Isle Jesus and the Island of Montreal ; the north branch is the channel by which the lumber from the Ottawa finds its way to Quebec. The waters of the Ottawa are not finally merged into those of the St. Lawrence, until the junction of the two northern branches, at Bout de I'lsle, 130 miles from the city of Ottawa. It is evident that the most prominent characteristic of the OttatVa is its great volume ; and in the spring, when the waters of the river are at their highest, from the rains and the melting of the northern snow, an approximate calculation shows that the volume of water passing over the Ghaudiere Falls, is equal to that of the Niagara Falls. Many small streams and creeks which empty themselves into the Ottawa have not been mentioned, but if fourteen only of the best known tributaries are taken, it will be seen that they contain more than 3,000 miles of course, and drain an immense area of Country. Many of these tributaries are longer than many of the longest and largest of the rivers in Great Britain, and any one of them flowing in a country of the old world, would, long ere this, have become famous in song. in story, and in art. In a general view the Valley of the Ottawa, is a region eight times the extent of Vermont, ten times that of Massachussetts ; it is drained by a noble river equal to the Rhine in its length of course, and to the Danube in magnitude ; the greater part of this noble valley is covered with a luxuriant growth of forest trees, particularly of red and white pine ; the harder wood also exists in abundance ; the soil is in general of excellent quality, and all the townships bordering on the river, and back on the course of several of the tri- butaries, are mostly settled. Of the glorious forest scenery, it is hardly necessary to speak, for every one has heard of it ; there may be more beauty of form in the graceful and feathery palm, in the fragrant magnolia, the boast of tropic climes, but whether in the stern and gloomy grandeur of the pine forests, or in the exquisite beauty of colouring that distinguishes 1 1 V J u OTTAWA IlIVEn. «■ ; 11 the hard wood groves when aiitumn.il frosts have lighted up their leaves with all the splendours of crimson and gold, or a combination of them all, when the dark green foliage of the pines forms a back- ground to the scarlet maples ; then, there is nothing in nature more grand than a Canadian forest in the autumn tide. The tourists from the States wishing to visit the Ottawa Valley with its beauties, the usual pleasure route is via Saratoga, Niagara, down to Proscott, opposite Ogdensburg, N. Y., passing through the Thousand Islands. Prescott is the Terminus of the St. Lawrence and OtU'iwa Railway. This Railroad makes two trips every day, to Ottawa and back, thus affording to travellers an expeditious and safe route, for this road is acknowledged to be the best built road in the country ; and like every other Railway and Steamboat Companies in the Country, the employees are very attentive and obliging. After visiting the principal places in the immediate vicinity of tht City, the tourist leaves early in the morning, and after one hour's drive over a very good macadamized road, reaches the Village of Aylmer, and there finds the steamer ready to leave for the head of Lake Du Ch6ne ; the Railway takes him to the foot of Lake Chats, another steamer lies in wailing to take passengers up to Portage du Fort, (passing on the way, the beautiful Chenaux.) Here, if he does not wish to go further, he can put up at the Hotel for the night, and have ample time to look at the Rapids of the Grand Calumet ; see the timber passing through the slides ; collect some specimens of mica, combined with felspar, quartz, and of the fine white or pink statuary marble to be found iu every direction ; a long night rest ; and return by the same steamer next morning. Should the tourist's time admit of it, we would by all means recommend him to continue his excur- sion upwards by the Grand Calumet route. From Portage du Fort there is an excellent macadamised road, seven miles in length, through a beautiful country, to the Grand Calumet. From the Calumet the steamer runs thirty miles, up the Calumet and Culbute Channels to within a few miles of Pembroke, to which the passengers are carried by a short stage and ferry. This route which passes up the channels on the north side of the Calumet and AUumette Islands and through Lake Coulonge, which lies between them, presents a series of rich, beautiful and romantic scenery, surpassing any thing on the course of the Ottawa below it ; and only itself surpassed in beauty and grandeur, by the sail through Upper AUumette Lake and Deep River from Pembroke to the Deux Joachim. Sometimes the Calumet Steamer passes up the channel south of AUumette Island and Lower AUumette Lake to the AUumette Rapids below Pembroke. In returning down Paquet's Rapids, on this route the scenery and the OTTAVVA RIVER. panoramic effect of it is much finer than any thing that can he soon on the rapids of the St. Lawrence. Tiie other phm is to stop at Gould's wharf on tlie other side of the river, some distance before reaching Portage du Fort, take tiie waggon in waiting and drive over the Portage to Mnskrat Lake, where is a small steamer, which, with another short waggon portage, will bring him to Pembroke; there he will sleep ; from this another steamer will take him on to Les Deux Joachim, where in a most hospitable Hotel, he will find himself perfectly at homo, and at the extremity of civilization. If he be indifferent to the fatigue of paddling or portaging, dangers of rapids, and have a liking for pork and biscuit — he can go on to see the wild Rocher Gapitaine, the Deux Rivieres, the Cave, and the Montagne, see the beautiful fall of the Notawissi, pass the mouth of the Mysterious Keepawa-sippi, and make his camp- fire at the head of Temiscaming. Returning down the River, where splendid pike fishing is to be had, and an occasional salmon trout, the tourist may, if ho wish to go west, meet the train either at Sand point, the terminus of the Brock- ville Railroad, or proceed five miles further to Arnprior, from where the cars start daily for Brockville. But if he wish to go East he must return to Ottawa ; there he has to choose between the river Ottawa and the St. Lawrence. If he came to Ottawa by the St. L. and 0. Railway from Prescott or Ogdensburg, he can take the steamer and proceed down the Ottawa River to Grenville, then take the train to Carrillon ; — arrived at Carillon, a steamer will take him to Lachine. Between Carillon and Lachine the navigation is interrupted by the rapids Ste. Anne, in reference to which Tom Moore WTote hisachnirod Canadian boat song, " Row, brothers, row, the strenm runs fast, " The rapids are near, and the day light is past, iSrc." On its downward trip, the steamer passes through the rapids ^lo. Anne, then continues down the Ottawa, through the Lake of Two Mountains, to Lachine ; thence by Railway to Montreal, arriving at Montreal the same evening. The tourist will find this route vorv rich in scenery. But should he wish to descend the rapids of the St. Lawrence to Montreal, he can go by the St. Lawrence and Oltav • Railway to Prescott, and take the downward boat ; — this route will take him through the Rapids les Galops, Rapid Plats, Long Sault, Los Cedres, the Cascades, and Sault St. Louis, and when arrived at Mont- real, the tourist will admit that such sensation is not to be picked up everywhere. But if he does not wish to go to Montreal, he can cross over to Ogdensburg from Prescott, and proceed by Railway to Boston, New York, or any other place in the United States. J w i' ' ^ i i : i. ' ill ■<.K S6 OTTAWA PIVER From Montreal, the tourist may reach Quebec by steamer or by Railway. Once in Quebec the sightseeker will convince himself that old Stadacona is not below the fame she possesses of being the most Grand in scenery : we have hoard a tourist say, that the view from Gap Diamond is, alone, worth the journey. The St. Lawrence watering places, deserve, also, the attention of the traveller. Riviere du Loup, Murray Day, Tadoussac and the Saguenay, are places where he will find good society during the Summer months. Returning to Quebec, he can take the route to the White Moun- tains, and then go southward, either by Portland or by the Railways. Thus the traveller may make a large circuit, without going twice over the same ground, or at least not much of it ffi- INTEIXNATIONAL CONVENTIONS. 27 INTERNATIONAL CON VENTK )NS Of Delegates of the Legislntures of rnnapar- tioued as fuUuwb : — Members of the II. of Commons. 82 6r} 19 15 Senators.

Avoidance of a Di-cfsion*. — When a motion has been made, upon whicli the House is unwiUing to come to a vote, there aro certain formal modes of avoiding a decisioii, amongst which are — "Passing to the other orders of the day." "Moving the previous (|uestion." Tlie former means that the House should — casting aside and taking no fur- ther notice of the matter then before it — proceed to the other business ajipointed ibr that day ; the latter means, that a vote be previously taken as to the expe- diency of coming to any deci.sion on the question raised. If " the previous qiics- Hon " of expediency be negatived, the motion to which it referred is not killed — it is only delayed for a time : but a direct negative to the motion itself, would proscribe it for the remainder of the Session, as •veil as deny the principle invulved. With rosj.ect to a Bill, — l)y moving that it " be read this day six months,''^ or " this dai/ three innntha,'' it is thrown over without coming to any express declaration against the i^rinciple of the measure. Bills (Pidilie.) — A Bill is the draft or skeleton of a Statute. No Bill can be brought in unless a motiou for leave be iirtviously agreed to, or U23on motion to appoint a Committee to prepare and Itring it in ; it is then brought in and read a first time, general!}' without amendment or debate; a day is then appointed for the second I'cading, before which day it is printed, and a cojiy I'urni.'rhed to every member. After the second reading, it is referred to a Cc'imiittc^e of the whole House, when its detai?^ aro considered, as its prin- ciples were, ujion its jjrovious readings. The principles of a Bill may Ije disi'ussed at any of its stages, but no member is considered to have declared decisively in its favor, unless he supports it by his vote at the second reading. In Committee of the whole House, the preamble and title are the last con- sidered. The Bill is debated or considered clause by clause. The blanks lei't for iiumr.t, dates, nature and amount of penalty, are tilled up while in Committee, and it i'r<'(juently happens that the Bill is entirely re-modelled. FornuM'ly the I blanks were left, but now it is the practice to till up those blanks with the jiro- j posed words printed in italics. It avoids surprise, and frequently discussion ; I for I)eing before the mem1)ers, they are agreed to without any (questions Ijeing j put, unless any member shoidrog res- ist 2rv 3r( 4tl 5tl Ctl Ttl PnACTICE OF PARLIAMENT. 39 pass."' After tliis, nothing remains except to determine its title. During tlie progress of a Bill, tho House may divide on the following questions :-r- ]st. On the Second Heading. Und. That it be committed. 3rd. That the Report of the Committee be received. 4th. That the Bill be recommitted. 5th. That it be read a Third Time. Oth. That it do pass, 7th. The title of the Bill. These are exclusive of any divisions in Committee, or on any amendments, or clauses pro})Osed to be added to or taken from the measure, in or out of the Committee. Alterations are not usually proj»osed to a Bill until ni'Un- its prin- ciple has been disposed of, on the second reading. Immediately after tiie pass- ing of the Bill, it is taken to the Upper House, and the concurrence of the Senate is asked thereto. If a Bill be rejected, no further proceedings ensue. When the Senate agree with the Commons on the principle of a measure, but differ in matters of detail, a conference sometimes follows. l)etween Meml)ers deputed from each House, who generally succeed in a Senate, _ s Mil m PRACTICE OF PARLIAMENT. 1 lit J Ui- i-s -r has the right to delegate to a Committee the power of sending for persons, records and papers, and of enforcing the attendance of ne jessary witnesses. Committees. — Are, Jirst, those of the whole House, which may be to consider certain Resolutions, as to the nature of which considerable latitude prevails : or th? House resolves itself into Committee to consider the details of a Bill, the principle of which may be discussed at any or all of its other stages ; or there may be a Committee for financial purposes, as those of "Supply," or "Ways and Means," as alluded to elsewhere. Secondly. — There are Select Committees chosen by ballot or otherwise, for some specific purpose. The numbers com- posing such Committees vary according to the nature of the case, but cannot exceed fifteen, unless by permission of the House. Finally. — Election Com- mittees, chosen in accoi-dance with the Act of Parliament regulating contro- verted Elections. These Committees discharge the duties of judicial tribunals. They are appointed by a general (y'ommittee, on Elections, who, after having selected a cert^iin number from the members to constitute the Chairmen's panel, divide the remainder into panels, and report the same to the House, marked 1, 2 and 3. The Clerk, in the presence of the House, places the whole three in a hat, and draws them forth, numbering each in rotation. A, B, C. The General Committee then selects four members for the Committee for the first contro- verted Election referred to them, and at the same time the Chairmen's panel assembles and ballots for a Chairman for the particular Committee chosen. Then there are several Standing Committees. When the whole House is in Com- mittee, the Speaker vacates the Chair, the Mace is placed under the table, some member is culled to preside, who occupies the seat of the senior Clerk. When Select Committees are appointed, no member who has declared against the piin- c'ple or substance of a Bill, Resolution, or matter to be committed, can be nominated of puch Committee. Conference. — ^There is a species of negociation between the two Houses of Parliament, conducted by managers appointed by each, for the purpose of pro- ducing concurrence, in cases where mutual consent is necessary ; or for the purpose of reconciling differences which may have arisen upon any matter requiring the action of both Houses. If the conference be upon the subject of a Bill depending between the two Houses, it must be demanded by that House, which, at the time of asking the Conference, is in possession of the Bill. When the Commons requests a Conference with the Senate, the reasons to be given by the Commons must bo prepared and agreed to by the House, before a message is sent to the Senate asking a Conference. These are furnished to the Managers, who on. meeting the Managers of the Upper House, hand in the reasons in writing. Should this proceeding fail in its object, a " free Conference " is held, which gives an opportunity for the Managers individually, and unrestrained by any set form of argument, to urge such reasons as in their judgment may best tend to influence the House to which they are addressed. A free Confepence is usually held, if two Conferences have been held '.yithout accomplishing the desired o'yect. After one free Conference has been held upon anyone subject, no other but a fres Conference can be held touching the same topic. While the Managers of a Conference are absent on duty, the Speaker vacates the chair. Estate of Parliament. — Parliament fully assembled, consists of the Monarch, or his Representative, the Upper House, and the Lower House. They are more frequently spoken of as the three branches of the Legislature. Neitlier House deliberates in the presence of the Queen's Representative, nor will either of them permit any allusion, in debate, to the opinions or sentiments entertained by him. The three branches taken together, exercise none but legislative func- tions, and they must all consent, or no law can be passed. But they have sepa- rate functions as well. The Monarch, or Representative, holds the whole exe- cutive authority, and while the Lower House alone can originate Money or Tax Bills, the Upper House is deprived of this power, Nor does the Upper House \ PRACTICE OF PARLIAMENT. 41 possess the great function of trying impeachments, which is held by the Lords in Great Britain, from the simple fact, that there is no power invested with the right to impeach. House of Commons.— The P^ taker takes the chair at 3 P. M., daily. If there is a quorum, the business ;,-i proceeded with; if not, the House is adjourned till the next day, at 3 P. M. Early meetings take place at the close of the Session, in order to expedite business, and bring matters to a close. The House does not usually meet on Saturrlay, nor does it assemble on any holiday. No one can be admitted to hear tbo debates, without an order from the Sergeaut-at v^rms, which is generally obtained through a Member. Twenty Members constitute a quorum. Interruption of the Sittings of Parliament. — The proceedings of the Legis- lature may be interrupted or suspended either by ajournment, prorogation, or dissolution. Adjournment, as the teion itself implies, is a postponement of the sitting or proceedings of the House, from one time to another specified for the re as- semblage. When the sitting of both Houses are interrupted by royal authority, it is called prorogation. Dissolution puts an end to the representative character of the individuals who, at the time, compose the House of Commons, an I Par- liament cannot therefore assemble until after a new election, except in cases hereinafter mentioned. The power of adjournment is a right belonging to each House, and there are no restraints to this power. The House of Commons can interrupt or postpone any debate, defer the consideration of any measure, or altogether adjourn its sitting, but the practice is always to adjourn to some stated time ; and I think there c;in be no doubt that, by the previous permission of the House the Speaker can leave the Chair for a certain number of hours -, but this does not amount to an adjournment, and could not be noted as such by the Clerk. But it must be rema-ked that the adjournment of one House does not adjourn the other. The Crown may, pending an adjournment, summon by proclamation, either House, or both, and may direct either, or both Houses to adjourn to any particular day. But while this power exists, , nd although in former times it has been frequently exercised in the Imperial Leg-slature, it has grown into dissuetude there as well as in the provinces, enjoying the privileges of their own local Legislatures. An individual member may for a time interrupt the progress of business by successive motions for adjournment, which may be repeated indcHnitely, with this restriction : no second motion to adjourn can be made until after some intermediate proceeding shall have been had. The motion in conmiittee that the chairman report progress, is equivalent to a motion to adjourn the d(4)atL\ Adjournment does not close the Sei^^ion : nor does prorogation terminate Parliament. The former is an act which 'her House can perfo.m; the Litter is a power vested in the Crown, the duration of which ni \y be s ibse luontly shortened or extended, as the Crown pleases. All unfinished business terminates and dies with a prorogation, l)ut tluring an adjournment they retuain in .slafti quo, to be revived on the re-assembling of Parliament. A m ui.b -r who moves the adjournment of a debate, or who is in possession of the tloor at the time of the adjournment, is said to be in possession of the House, with the right to re-open the debate which has been interrupted. This is not the c.»se, however, when Conmiittees of the whole House adjourn. Prorogation never ex' ends beyond foity days, but it may be repeated from time to time l)y ])roelamiilion, and continue to be renewed until it is intended that Parliam-Mit shall met;t for the despatch of business. The Crown can summon Parliament at any time by giving fourteen day's notice. Dissolution is the simple death of Parliament, and may be brought about in two ways, either by the pleasure of the Crown, or by lapse of time for which it was called into existence. There was a time wh 'n the existence of a parliament terminated by the d with his duties. Session. — The Session is the term occupied by Parhament from its com- mencement to its prorogation. An adjournment does not close a Session. I'ar- 44 PRACTICr; C PARLIAMENT. liament is annually assembled for the despatch of business. There are certain important acts which arc renewed every year, and without which the Govern- ment could not be carried on, which compels the Government to meet the Repre- sentatives of the people, and render an account of the past year's transactions, once a year at least. Unless this be done, there will bo no supplies. By an understanding. Parliament meets in the month of February, although circum- stances sometimes arise to postpone the time. While the Crown has a right to summon Parliament where it pleases, it is generally understood that it assembles at the Seat of Government. Tlie House being assembled, the Governor General commands the attendance of the Members of the Lower House at the Bar of the Upper House, and delivers a Speech from the Throne. This Speech is the first subject taken into consideration ; no other business is commenced until the answer to it is given. As is stated elsewhere, the mere fact of one or both Houses adjourning, does not terminate the Session; it can only terminate by being prorogued by the Crown. All bills and other measures left unfinished, when the prorogation takes place, are dead, and parties who wish to revive tlicm, must recommence their labours at the next Session, as if nothing had been done in the piemises. The mere assembling of Members does not consti- tute a Session, — ono Bill, at least, must pass both Houses, and receive the Royal Assent, before it can be called a Session. Si'KAKER. — Beyond all doubt this officer was designated L weaker, from the fact of his being the mouth \nece of the Commons, in their ntercourse with tlio Crown. He is the presiding officer of the body. He read.- ill communica- tions which come from the Queen's Representative to the Commons; he has to jiresent and read such addresses and petitions as are carried up to the Governor General by the whole House, and to deliver the usual speeches, on the part of the Commons, when presenting the Supply Bill, and other Bills, calling for par- ticular note and remark. Through him, all witnesses sxv.d prisoners at the Bar of the House are examined, and he directs all arrangements, when the House is to be addressed by Counsel. It is his duty to deliver the reprimand of the House to any one who has incurred the penalty of receiving it : it is also his duty to issue warrants of committal, or release for breach of privilege, to com- municate with any parties, when so instructed by the House. It is his duty to closely examine the provisions of private Bills so as to protect the public against any surprise, or undue encroachment or injury ; to control and regulate the conduct of subordinate officers of the House ; to enforce the Rules of the House ; he cannot join in any debate unless in Committee of the whole House, As the presiding officer of the House, he has all the duties attached to such an office. The Speaker is chosen by the membei's of Parliament, subject to the apiirobation of tlie Representative of the Crown, and holds his office imtil the Parliament in which he is elected is dissolved. Should a member persevere in disobeying the order of the Speaker and of the House, the Speaker may '•name him," as the term aj^plies, a course imiformly followed by the censure of tlie House. In extreme cases, the Speaker may oriler members or others I into custody, until the pleasure of the House be signified. On divisions, when tlie numbers happen to be equal, he gives the casting vote, but he never other- , wise votes. ! SuPrLY. — All i^roceedings which relate to the public income or expendituie, must originate with the Conunons, and must be begun by resolution moved in j Conunittee of Supply, which is always a Committee of the whole House. In the j course of the St\''sion. estimate- are submitted to a Committee of Supply ; and ivsolutions moved thereon, grat ting to the Crown the sums requisite for the management of the various departments of the (lOvernnient, and the support j of various i)ublic and piivate institutions. Such as are confirmed l^y the Com- j mittoeof Supjily are reported to the House, where they are again reconsidered ! and adopted, or rejected, as the case may be. Upon these a Bill is passed, and this Supjtly Bill furnishes the authority to the 2, or as long after as the standard of fineness fixed by the laws of tin- United States be not changed, then only for $10.00 or £2 lOs. Od. The gold coins of the United States being " multiples or halves of the said Eagle," are legal for proportionate sums. Other foreign gold coins may be, but have not been made legal by procla- mation. British silver coins " of the fineness fixed by law on 1st August, 1854, and " of weights bearing respectively the same i>roportion to the value to be assigned " to such coins in this Pi-ovince which the weights of the silver coins of the " United Kingdom bore on the said day to the value assigned to them in the " United Kingdom shall, by such names as Her Majesty may assign to them in " Uer Royal Proclamation, declaring them lawful money of this Province, pass " current and be a legal tender at the rates assigned to them respectively in " such proclamation." Until otherwise ordei-ed these silver coins '* .shall pass " current in this Province for sums in currency equal, according to the propor- " tion hereinbefore fixed, to the sums in sterling for which they respectively " pass current in the United Kingdom." Thus the British shilling is a legal tender for $0.24i. No foreign silver coin is lawful money ; and British silver is only legal tender to the extent of $10. The copper coins of the United Kingdom are a h.^al tender to the amount of twenty cents or one shilling currency ; the jJenny for two cents, and subdivi- sions thereof in proportion. The pence and half- pence still current in Canada were imported by the Banks. The Government has within the last few years imported both silver and and bronze coins ; twenty, ten and five cent pieces of silver, and one cent pieces of bronze. The following statement shows the amount of the importation, the whole of which was taken by the Banks of tlie Province at par, with the excep- tion of .*4,000 in cent i3ieces, sold to the Province of New Brunswick : — 43 CUnnENCY AND COINAGE.

American silver has therefore been imported in large quantities, and several million dollars worth of it are in circulation in the Province. In Post Offices and Bank?, Canatlian coin is the only silver taken at its face value, the consequence of which is that almost all our silver coin is locked up in the vaults of the several Banks. The paper money of Canada has been until of late exclusively issued by the Banks, and is of the denominations of $1, $2, $4, $5, $10,$20, $50, $100. NEW BRUNSWICK. The New Brunswick legal dollar is the same as that of Canada, bearing the same relation to the English sovereign. The Bank notes are of denominations as low as $1, and are considered equal to gold. The coins imported by the Province are of the same denominations as those of Canada ; viz : 20, 10 and 5 cent pieces, of silver, and one cent of bronze. The Government made two importations — the first of $30,011.00 in shillings; $15,012.90 in six pences ; $5,(X)2.75 in three pences, and $3,000.00 in cents. The second was of $44,985.35 in silver coins in about the same proportion, and of$9,980.87 in copper. Total face value $107,992.87, total cost £9,872 17s. lid. sterling. These coins are now the common metallic currency of the Province, the American silver quarter being taken for 20 cents only, and the British sliilling being legal only as 24 cents, which is below their intrinsic value, and therefore drives them out of circulation. rii! NOVA SCOTIA. The sovereign of the United Kingdom is equal to five dollars in the currency of Nova Scotia. The doubloon, if not less weight than 415 grains and containing not less tlian 360 grains of pure gold is $16. Tlie Peruvian, Mexicaij, Columbian and old Spanish dollars, of the full weight of 416 grains and containing not less than 373 grains of pure silver are legal for 4s. 2d. sterling or $1 .04. The silver coins of tlie United Kingdom are legal tender, to the extent of $10, at the following rates : The Crown, $1.25; the half Crown, $0 62^; the florin, $0.50; the shilling, $0.25; the six pence, $0.12^; the four pence, $0.08. No other silver coin is legal tender, but the American " quarter " passes current at 22^ cents.

The direct security of the Dominion is given by the Statute for all deposits made. 3. At each Post Office named, the Savings Bank regulations may bo read by the public, giving full information with res^iect to the mode of dejDOsiting and withdrawing money, and these regulations are printed on the cover of the Pass Book supplied to each depositor. 4. Any person may have a deposit account, and deposits will be received daily, during the ordinary hours of Post Office Ijusiness, of any number of dollars, from $1 uji to $300, the total amount which can be received from a Depositor in any one year, except in cases to be specially authorized by the Postmaster-General. 5. The Postmasters of the offices named will act as agents for the receipt of the money deposited for transmission to the Postmaster-General, and for tho payment by tho Postmaster-General of money withdrawn by Depositors. 6. Each Depositor will be supplied with a Pass Book, and the sums paid in, or witiidrawn, will be entered therein by the Postmaster receiving or paying the same. In addition, a direct receipt for each amoimt paid in, will be sent to the Depositor from the Postmaster-General, and the Postmaster-General will issue a cheque, payable at any Post Office Savings Bank desired, for any sum withdrawn. 7. Every Depositor's account will thus be kept with the Postmaster-General, and a Depositor may pay into his or her account with the Post Office Savings Bank, at any of the Savings Bank Post Offices which at the time may best suit his convenience, and may exercise the same choice in drawing out money, su1>ject only to the obligation of producing the Pass Book, in proof of identity — when- ever paying in or drawing out money. 8. Interest at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum will be allowed on de])Osits lying in the ordinary deposit accounts, but when a Depositor has !{!]0 ) deiiosited, he or slxe may request the Postmaster-General to transfer this sum to a special account, and will then receive a Certificate of such special $100 deposit, bearing interest at 5 per cent, per annum. 9. Postmasters are forbidden by law to disclose the name of any Depositor, or the amount of any sum deposited or withdrawn. 10. No charge will be made to Depositors on paying in, or drawing out money, nor for postage on communications with the Postmaster-General in relation thereto. 11. The Postmaster-General will be always ready to receive and attend to all applications, complaints, or other communications addressed to him by Dejio- sitors or others, relative to Post Office Savings Bank matters.

The cure will be guaranteed, and, as a proof of this, no pay is required, until the cure is complete. The moment a cancer is discovered, it should be cured as it will cost less and is more speedily cured than when of longer standing, and there is nothing to gain, and everything to lose by delay. What now seems a harmless lump in the breast, neck, eye-lid or else- where, or small wart or sore on the lip, may, in a few short months, become a hideous, disgusting, destroying mass of disease. If required, references can be given to parties who have been cured many years since, and who are now sound and healthy. ALL COMMUNICATIONS FBOMFTLT ANSWEEES. #• 1
