City of Qiiehec, <,^ueboc, by its historic fame and its unequalled scenery, is no ordinary or common place city, for though like other large communities, it carries on trade, commerce and manufactures ; cultivates arts, science and literature ; abounds in charities, and professes special regard to the amenities of social life ; it e aims particular attention as being a strikingly unique old place the stronghold of Canada, and in fact the key of the Province. Viv wed from any one of its approaches, it impresses the stranger with the conviction of strength and permanency. The reader of Ameri. m history (.n entering its gates, or wandering over its squares, ram- parts and battle-lields, puts himself at once in communicni with the illustrious dead. The achievements of the daring mariner^, the labors of self-sacrificing missionaries of the cross, and tht conflicts of military heroes, who bled and died in the assault and defence of its walls, are here re-read with ten-fold interest. Tuen the lover of nature in her grandest and most rugged,as in her gentle and most smiling forms, will find in and round it an affluence of sublime and beautiful objects. The man of science too may be equally gratified, for here the great forces of nature and her secret alchemy may be sliulied \\\\\\ advantage. Quebec can never be a tame or insipid place, and with moderate opportunities for advan- cement, it must become one of the greatest citi(M? of the new world in respect of learning, arts, commerce and manufactures. ^ ST.

LAWRENCE HALL CUIDE. 21 The city of Quebec was founded by Samuel Champlain, 1608. In 1622 the population was reduced to fifty souls. In June 1759, the English army under Gen. Wolfe landed upon the Island of Orleans. On the 12th September took place the celebrated battle of the Plains of Abraham, which resulted in the death of Wolfe, and the defeat of the French army. A force of 5,000 English troops under Gen Murray were left 1 3 garrison the fort. The city is very interesting to the stranger, it being the only walled city in Canada. Cape Diamond, upon which the citadal stands, is three hun- dred and forty-five feet in height, and derives its name from the quantity of crystal mixed with the granite below its surface. The fortress includes the whole space on the cape. Above the spot where General Montgomery was killed is now the inclined* plane, running to the top of the bank ; it is five hundred ieet long, and is used by the Government to convey stores and other articles of great weight to the fortress. St'-angers are allowed to enter the fortress by procuring tickets from the proper authorities. A ride to the Plains of Abraham is one of the most interesting visits alx)ut this celebrated city ; a rock is there pointed out as the spot where General Wolfe expired. There are four martello towers, forty feet in height, standing upon the plain, about half a mile in advance of the other fortifications. Seven miles below Quebec is the fall of Montmorenci. The road is very pleasant, passing through the French village of Beauport. Those who expect to Ifee a second Niagara will be very much dissappointed. The streams descends in silvery threads, over a precipice two hundred and forty feet in height, and in connection with the surounding scenery, is extremely p'Cturesque and beau- tiful, but inspires none of the awe felt at Niagara. 22 ST.

Since the des- truction of the convent at Charlestown, Mass., Americans are not allowed entrance to the Urseline Convent. It is, the more to be regretted from the fact that the grave of Montcalm is in their chapel. Castle St. Louis, probably the first public building in Quebec, the corner stone of which was laid by Champlain on the 6th of May, 1624, was destroyed by fire on the 23rd January 1834. By the orders of Lord Durham, the site of this castle was cleared o' the ruins that covered it, levelled and covered with wood, and an iron railling placed on the edge of the precipice, making a very delightful promenade. The view from it commands the lower town, the St. Lawrence as far down as the Island of Orleans, the harbor with its ships, and Point Levi on the opposite side of the river. Point Levi, on the other side of the river, opposite Quebec, will interest the stranger very much. Immense and stupendious fo.'fications being now in progress of construction.

(^i science, there can be nothing more refreshing and delightful, nothing affording more food for reflection or scientific observation than a trip to that most wonderful of rivers the Saguenay. On the way thither, the scenery of the Lower St. Lawrence is extraordinarily picturesque ; a broad expanse of water inter- spersed*with rugged solitary islets, highly cultivated islands, and islands covered with trees to the waters edge, hemmed in by lofty and precipitous mountains on the one side, and by a continuous street of houses relieved by beautiful situated villages, the spires of whose tin covered churches glitter in the sunshine, affording a prospect so enchanting, that were nothing else to be seen the tourist would be well repaid ; but when in addition to all this the tourist suddenly passes from a landscape unsurpassed for beauty into a region of primative grandeur where art has done nothing and nature every thing, when at a single bound civilization is left behind and nature stares him in the face, in naked majesty ; when he sees Alps on Alps arise ; when he floats over unfatho- mable depths, through a mountains gorge, the sublime entirely overwhelms the sense of sight and fascinates the imagination. The change produced upon the thinking part of man in passing from the broad St. Lawrenre into the seemingly narrow and awfully deep Saguenay, whose waters lave the sides of the towering moufttains, which almost shut out the very light of heaycn, is such as no pen can paint nor tongue describe. It is a river which one should see it only to know what dreadful aspects nature can aosumc in her wild moods, compared to it the Dead Sea is blooming, a'.id the wikkst ravines look rosy and smiling ; it is wild and grand apparently in spite of itself.

LAWRENCE HALL GUIDE. 10 J* I On either side rises clififs varying in perpendicular height from 1,200 to 1,600 feet, and this is the character of the River Saguc- nay from its mouth to its source. Ha. Ha Bay, which is 60 miles from its mouth, affords the first landing and anchorage. The name of this Bay is said to arise from the circumstances of early navigators proceeding in sailing vessels up a river of this kind for 60 miles, with eternal sameness of feature, stern and high rocks on which they could not land and no bottom for their anchors, at last broke out into laughing, Ha-Ha, when they found landing and anchorage. This wonderful river seems one huge mountain rent asunder, there can he little doubt at some remote age by some great convulsion of nature. The reader who goes to see it, and all ought to do so, who can, for it is one the great natural wonders of the continent, can add the poetic filling in of the picture from his own imagination. This beautiful trip is easy and facile of accomplishment, and new and magnificent boats rivalling in luxuriousness with any on our inland waters, run regularly to Ha-Ha Bay, on boaid of which the pleasure-seeker will fully enjoy such a trip.
